How I just wanted to say good luck. And ask hows the training going?

LOL. No, I don't shower with the boys...well, sometimes with my boy but no pictures!

By contract I can't talk about how much I am making and I don't know how much Gina is making, but I will say that sponsorship is the big one for this fight. I am going to look like a NASCAR driver.

Do you have to shower with the boys..............if yes ....have you posted any pics?

LOL!

My real question is: ( if not to personal )

How much are ProE paying you and Gina for this fight?

Good Luck........you are an awesome fighter.

I think he will change his mind eventually. Clearly there would be enough women who would fight at 135 to make a packed weight division of ladies, but I think he realizes that there isn't enough of a demand for female fighters yet to make it worth his while (from a business sense). I can't really blame him for that, and I am hoping with the added visibility that Elite brings to female fighters it may change.

I don't know if I would fight for them if they had a women's division. I might, but right now I think CBS is better than pay-per-view for the fighters. The sponsorship and exposure is better. I do really like the way the UFC pays fighters for fight of the night, knockout bonuses, etc.

hi i am a fan of both you and gina and i cant wait for this fight. what do you think about dana whites reasoning for not starting a womens class in the ufc. in case you didnt hear he said there simply arent enough women in mma to compete, and that their brains are too small... just kidding he didnt say that last part :) and if their was a womens class in ufc would you think about fighting for them.

1) I think I would be motivated regardless of how my last fight went, but I think my training for this fight was better than it would have been as a result of my last loss.

2)Sara Schneider was pretty tough. She took a lot of abuse and was still able to grab a submission.

3)I had been training Muay Thai and a couple of my trainers suggested that I train for and take an MMA fight.

4)I don't really remember what I was thinking exactly. Just that I was pretty focused on the task at hand.

4)LOL! My boyfriend is a 240lb thai boxer...he can take care of himself for the most part.

Questions:

1.) Are you coming in more motivated because you lost to Sara Schneider, rather than beating her?

2.) Who would you before you fight Gina has been your toughest opponent?

3.) What inspired you to get into MMA?

4.) Do you remember what was going through your head before your first MMA match?

5.) When you have a boyfriend does he let you defend him or does he still try to defend himself?

Hmmm....depends on the day I guess. I like CCR a lot...maybe down on the corner?

What's your personal theme song? Please don't say "Eye of the Tiger," because that's everyone's personal theme song. Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome pump-up jam, but it doesn't say anything about an individual. What's the song going through your head when you walk down the street like Travolta in Saturday Night Fever?

We have a few other female fighters at the gym. If they are around we train together, but no more than I train with anyone else there.

I have found other female fighters in this sport to be very helpful and pretty cool for the most part, though they are somewhat few and far between.

I don't feel lonely though, the guys are good company too;-)

HI Kaitlin,

Thanks for spending the time to answer questions today.

I know the questions about being a lady in fighting might get old, but it's such a unique position, and one that i really admire a lot.

Do you train with a lot of other women? If so, do you find there's a good deal of camaraderie among other women fighters?

If not, do you find it lonely?

I don't know if I am getting more respect...they left me off of the original poster! LOL

People do seem to have a different attitude toward me than they do Gina...and I am not quite sure why as this is only my 5th MMA fight as well.

On the flip side though, there are people that are convinced that I am a can brought in to lose to her...so I think I get a little bit of both.

I didn't watch her on ESPN.

That is great Kaitlin and Im glad to see that you are getting alot more respect in your thread than Gina did in hers... Although you are adorable and funny as heck

Do you think that you are getting more respect because you are a hardcore fighter going in for the kill ... ...but without the glitz and glamour?...

and what do you think of Ginas interview for espn?

OMG I so tripple doggie dare you to get a poster and photobucket or shop your pic of you with the glasses and mustache and put it on there and post it...I would friggin die....

And im not thinking anyone in here believes you are a can by any means..I personally believe you could be her toughest fight to date...

Are you going to dress up crazy for your enterance? Maybe your glasses or a monkey suite? It would be so funny. Or just come out with a bunch of sponser stuff?

Would you like to go a few. . .
