I lost my last fight against Jennifer Maia in Texas. No matter how a fighter loses, by decision or KO, the intense feelings of pain and sadness are there.
I’ve made my walk to the cage (or ring) 44 times in my life and, of those, I’ve walked away with eighteen losses. Every fight and way I react to it is different. I remember one night, after fighting Laura D’August in 2005, walking around my hotel in New Jersey—outside in the middle of the night in the dark. I was just despairing; having no idea what I should do or what would become of me.
