“She walked in and talked to some of the kids about our goals,” said 12 year old Jeannah Creason, who trains in boxing, wrestling, karate and jiu-jitsu. “She asked me and other kids what our goals was and telling us how to get to your goals. She was explaining if you want to be the best you have to train hard for it and work hard. She asked if it’s OK to show me how to do her famous stare down and we did it for a while. It was kinda intimating and it was really exciting to do that with her. Only fighters do that and she made me feel like a UFC fighter which really made me happy.”
