"I've lost count of how many times I've lost in my life, but every time I've gotten up and moved on. I'm sad for my team and for everyone who was cheering for me, but anyway, no sad stories, let's move on to another journey. I did the impossible, I dropped below 84kg again, I had three injuries during this fight camp: a rotator cuff injury, a meniscus injury, and also a fracture in my arm,"
"I broke my arm. There wasn't much I could do, but I decided to move forward. For a good while we trained with my arm in a cast. It was actually a bit reckless on our part. We kept it under wraps, but I was determined to fight regardless of the injury."
