“I wanted that to last longer — I felt like I was so ready, I felt so good,” she said. “But I haven’t been here for 17 years. I wanted to hit her.
“Right now, just getting in the cage was a victory, getting here after 17 years is a victory. Fighting a legend was a victory. I feel great, I just wanted to fight, and I didn’t get to do that.”
