That was Monday. I’ve got that time of the month, too. So this has been… I was ready to go, and just little hiccups. I have it dialed in. My nutritionist, my weight, everything is good. So next time, I’ll be here on time, on weight, ready to go.”
“People say, ‘Hey this fighter is going to be gone. Let’s take advantage of it.’ It sucks, but (I’ve) got to get those cameras up,” she went on, “… I’ve got to let someone else move into my house when I’m gone and take care of it and babysit the house.”
A similar news made the headlines less that two weeks prior- when Marlon Vera revealed that a similar home burglary attempt took place at his residence in California while he was away for UFC 299.
