Today bantamweight Cat Zingano joined the MMA Hour and finally talked in depth about her loss to Ronda Rousey and her strategy going into the fight:
“I wouldn’t change a thing about my approach,” Zingano said. “Had it been a couple inches in the other direction, it could have gone a completely different way.”
Zingano did, however, confess to the notion that she felt like she had something to prove to the critics who called her a slow starter.
“That was probably my biggest mistake,” Zingano said. “Really thinking about doing it for other people versus doing it for myself. As long as I stay true to myself in this sport and in my career, I am unstoppable. I felt like it was an unfair definition of me, I don’t think I’m a slow starter. For some reason, I let it get to me, so I was like, ‘okay, watch this.’ That kind of slapped me in the face. I was just, in retrospect its something I want to have a lot more control over and not let it get to my head.”
