She recaps her last fight MMA fight, a win against Megan Poe at Valor Fights 49, and talks about the difference in training for an MMA fight as opposed to having to tightening up her striking for her Muay Thai debut.

King talks about the early stoppage in the fight and how he’s ticked off about it but he has to look forward to his next fight at Valor Fights 51. He says that even though he’s battling Jon Hughes, it doesn’t matter to him who his opponent is because no one can stand toe to toe with him. He’s been focusing a lot more on his wrestling skills in training and wants to be known as an all around fighter as opposed to just a striker.
