What have you been doing since your last fight in RIZIN?

Since my last fight in Japan against Gabi Garcia. when I can home I had found out I had an enlarge pituitary gland tumor. I had surgery to remove it from my brain and it was a success. Thank God! It took some months to heal. I had a lot of time to think ponder on my life mentally, emotionally, spiritually. It was a good thing. Once I was cleared by doctor I started back getting in shape and training MMA.

What are your thoughts about your opponent KING Reina?

My thoughts on King Reina is that she has goals just like me in MMA. She seems tough but, not tougher than me the one and only Lei’D Tapa Queen Of Rings. I’ve been patiently waiting for my time to fight. My time is now and I’m Ready!!! Ready to Dominate, ready for battle, ready to showcase my growth and skills of a MMA fighter. Fight my Fight. what I’ve been training to do, ready to be Victorious! Ready to make King Reina BowDown.
