I grew up watching 'Vale Tudo' and Marco Ruas. I fight imagining the bouts from a past generation, when everything was legal.
Nick Diaz is going to go down as one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time, no doubt.
Actually, when I fought in PRIDE, we had the best fighters in the world. Back then, the UFC had a very serious and big crisis; they were going through some tough times trying to get top fighters. All the best fighters were in PRIDE.
I think the legacy Ronda leaves behind is that she changed women's MMA.
Back in the day, I was a Royce Gracie fan and a fan of Tank Abbott. It's always the different-looking guys that you want to root for. Then there were guys like Mark Coleman and Randy Couture, so for me to get in there and fight against guys like that is pretty cool.
Nick Diaz is in the top five welterweights of all time in my eyes. Georges St-Pierre is the number one welterweight in my eyes.
Before there was a Ronda Rousey, there was a Gina Carano and Cris Cyborg. They finally fought, and we found out who was the baddest woman on the planet, and that was Cris Cyborg. When she hits people, I'm like, 'Whoo!'
Who's the best MMA fighter of all times? I always left that for fans to decide.
I feel like Randy Couture has helped build the history in this sport.
UFC 151 will be remembered as the event Jon Jones and Greg Jackson murdered.
Khabib Nurmagomedov is the most dominant fighter in the history of MMA.
I want people to talk about me in five, 10 years, 20 years, that I was one of the best female MMA fighters, that I was one of the best UFC champions in the world back in the day. This is what I want.
