Excerpt:

"Yes! It was finally my turn to go, and it would be against my fellow Brit, Helen Harper. I didn't know I was going to fight her until a couple days before. Coach Rafael had toyed back and forth between Ashley and Jamie then finally chose Helen. But it didn't matter to me, as it shouldn't matter to any fighter. You go in there to fight whoever is there."

Looking forward to a team Claudia sweep

Anyone know where Lanchanas two wins came from? I saw her fight Michelle Nicolinini at M4TC and have followed her since but have not heard anything about her fighting again

I was surprised how much they seemed disappointed in themselves when they were called p_ssies.

I suppose you want to hear words of confidence from your coach. And she was going the tough love route. I would have expected the fighters to take it more as motivation than they did. But it could have been just what we saw and how it was edited.

She was down to fight at TKMMA9 last September but that was cancelled.

Joanna is used to working really hard and it leading to her getting what she wants, so when she sees others failing she naturally assumes they didn't work hard enough. It's normal.

She's completely the wrong person to be a coach - in English at least - but you couldn't ask for a better role-model. A relentless work ethic and single-minded determination will get you far in life.

Is she selling "Joanna says: don't train like pussy!" T-shirts yet? She should.

Joanna tries way too hard
