Excerpts from the article:
She's spent nearly two months getting ready for Herrig with the fighters at Team Alpha Male.
...VanZant has no problem pointing out the flaws in her early fights because truth be told she went out there as a complete novice in the cage.
"I honestly will say I wasn't a real fighter until my last fight," VanZant said. "I went in there for most of my fights not really knowing what I was doing, but I had a lot of heart and I had a lot of determination. I was physically an athlete so that's why I was able to pull off those wins, but with this fight and my last one, as a fighter I've got so many more skills and the technique and I've gotten that from being at Team Alpha Male."
"I'm still very young and I'm very young in this sport. I have a lot of room to grow athletically, I have not peaked," VanZant said. "My fighting style's going to change a lot. I have the best team in the world to learn from and I can't wait to show off what I've learned in this fight camp."
"This is the biggest fight of my career and I'm making sure I treat it that way during every second of training. I want to be the best I can possibly be. I'm pushing myself very hard."
