I want every fight I do to end in a knockout. If you give a boring fight, no one will remember you.

I used to be a boxer. But once, I was watching an MMA fight on TV—it was Ronda Rousey vs. Holly Holm. Watching that fight, I felt motivated—if those girls could do it, why couldn’t I?

I moved to Delhi for training. At that time I only knew boxing—no kicks, no ground game. In my first fight against a foreign opponent, I knew that if I let the round go on too long, she’d defeat me in the ground game. I decided right there, that from the start, my only goal was to try and knock her out.
