My mom sent me this old picture of myself when I was 12 years old. I got teased mercilessly for being nerdy and weird. I wish I could go back and tell myself, “Don’t worry, little Roxanne.❤️ You’ll have friends and even fans when you grow up.”

I’m SO EXCITED!! I got to tell Robbie Lawler that his old fights inspired me to start fighting, like 18 years ago!! Now here I am going into my 49th fight. Thank you!!

Meh, fathers are supposed to be biased and say stupid things. Mine used to say, “I’m proud of you...so are you retiring yet?” Not anymore, though. :) At least she didn’t say it. I still respect Macyee for being a warrior.
In my 44-fight career, 4 opponents missed weight, and I lost 3 of those fights. Not once did any of them come up before or after the fight and say, “Gee, sorry I missed weight. Thanks for fighting me anyway.” It would be nice considering the blows I took to my career & wallet. :/
Thank you to all the media, interviewers, and podcasters who have interviewed me over my career! You helped tell my story and make my voice be heard. I used to write interviews so I understand. You guys and gals are important & I am grateful.

I’ll go! I think consent is needed.I fought men in Jiujitsu tourneys before & everyone agreed it was exhibition, not as part of the tourney lineup. However,if I entered a National comp, I’d prefer to face only Xchrom females to win my gold.I might do exhibition but not be forced.
Each day for the next week I'm going to call on well-known female athletes to take a stance on this issue because silence is complicity...we need their voices.

I think if I had kicked it and bruised it and she was limping on it, I would’ve kept kicking it. But I knew she had some kind of ligament injury, so while I would take advantage of that, I just didn’t wanna injure it more.
It’s my honor to receive my black belt! So happy to be presented by both Mike & Evan together.Thx to my other teachers Taylor,Rene,&John Wood! I still have so much to learn but I’ve reached one of my life goalsエバンとマイクさんから黒帯を頂きました!これからも一生懸命がんばります
I’m really disappointed Sijara missed weight for our fight. I stood up for her when fans said she couldn’t do it! But I know she’ll be strong & bring it tomorrow. I’m ready!! LET’S GO!! 相手の計量失敗はがっかりだ!でも明日戦う!かかってこい!

Roxanne before judging people how about you win 3 in a row. The last time you did that was in 2008. You need to get back in the gym and off Twitter
If you can’t make weight, that’s fine. GO UP A WEIGHT CLASS. Stop taking ranking spots and fight opportunities from us fighters who make weight in our division!
Gillian Robertson with the choke out win!! Yay! Thank you
@joerogan
for calling out her opponent for being dirty - missed weight by 3 lbs and TWO attempted eye gouges. Repercussions, pls.

I went to the UFC Performance Institute to ice bath, and some rugby team was in there also doing recovery. One guy said, "Hi! Do you do UFC?" I answered, "Heck yeah I do UFC!" I've waited so long to say that. XD

. Thanks
@ufc
for the amazing opportunity. Thank you Antonina for the fight. You are a great competitor. Thank you fans! спасибо Санкт-Петербург. ありがとうございます
I always try not to judge people because I don't know what happened behinds the scenes. But I advocate: TAKE A POINT from the first round! Who cares about the 20%? It doesn't effect the fight. Start the fight with a red card.
Well I‘m pretty unhappy with my performance tonight, but thank you to my coaches, team Syndicate, the UFC, the fans, and my friends for the support and opportunity. Smile and carry on.
#ufc
I’m actually very durable. Only the floor has knocked me out in 49 fights (a slam.) I eat punches that topple others. I’ve never lost by TKO. 🤷♀️ I can’t always guarantee victory, but I promise you a glorious battle!

Yesterday was my fight anniversary.... 17 years completed! On to the 18th! Still getting better and stronger!!! Woot woot! ^^ 17年前にプロデビューをした!今も強くなっている!

Hey
#UFCVegas71
officials, if you call Green vs Gordon a no contest, what about Chris Curtis who got knocked down w a head clash & didn’t get a second to recover? Then judges deemed it a factor in him losing the fight. wtf man, you can’t judge fights differently casebycase
#ufc
I’m so sad Nicco couldn’t fight and got stripped of the title. Other title holders were inactive for longer and didn’t get stripped. I’m sad ppl don’t recognize her skill and her status as champion, despite her beating tough ppl on TUF to earn the belt. I hope she’s okay.
Today is the one-year anniversary of my first date with Chris! 🥰🥰 I’m finally experiencing true love! He was worth the wait. 一年前、彼氏と初めてデートした!愛しているよ、クリス!

Huge thanks to one of my coaches and cornerman Jonny “The Sluggernaut” Parsons. Your positive encouragement, support, and coaching meant the world to me. I was able to level up one last time. My fellow warrior in the garden.

Husband worked 12 hours, and then brought home a cake for my birthday. He knows I love chocolate. Thank you, my love! And my little love is conked out in the seat from a walk earlier. I am 42 years old.

announcers mentioned I did my strength and conditioning at the UFC Performance institute. No, I’ve never said that. I work with Lorenzo at Syndicate. I’m very loyal to him. He’s one of my heroes. He took a weak, unathletic girl and helped me get stronger.
I ran into
@tatianaufc
at the UFC PI! I’ve been a fan of hers since she was on TUF. So bummed she got hurt. Ironic I just healed from my knee injury and now she has one, but hers is like three times worse than mine was. Hope she has a record-breaking speedy recovery!
@ufc
It’s one of my life goals to be strong enough to smile even when I don’t feel like it. Even when your heart is breaking, can you find something to be positive about? That is how to be “a happy warrior,” I think...
