She thanked me for opening up doors for her in her career and was respectful in asking for this fight to happen. This is an honor.

What a time to be alive.\u201dThis fight brings together two of the most known names in women\u2019s MMA. One is coming back after years away. The other returns after time spent in Hollywood.
