Everything I've gotten, I've had to work twice as hard to earn.
— Shayna Baszler
I love rock and roll and loved getting on wrestling mats since I was six, and I have never been ashamed of it.
I have always had a desire to prove people that looked past me wrong, whether it was because I was a female trying to wrestle or fight in MMA or because I grew up on the wrong side of town.
In MMA, there isn't time to admire your work until it's all over with. In sports-entertainment, I can admire what I'm doing while it's happening.
