Cristiane Cyborg: I'd love to fight Dana White to show him how tough women are.
QUESTION: Shayna, are you familiar with the U.S. Olympic athletes and would you be interested in seeing them come into mixed martial arts?
Shayna Baszler: I follow it a little bit. I'm just familiar just because the Olympic year's coming up and I like to watch that sort of thing. I say the more talented, combative females we get, the merrier. I would love to see people of Olympic?caliber talent coming in and showcasing (their skills) in MMA. I'm totally down with that.
Cristiane Cyborg: I know to go to the Olympics they have to be the best at what they do (their respective disciplines). But to fight in MMA, they need to know a little bit of everything. So maybe in the future they'll be able to fight MMA.
QUESTION: For Cristiane and Shayna. With Gina Carano being on the last CBS card beating Kaitlin Young and some people feeling her win was tainted, how do you feel about this opportunity to be the next face of women on the mat?
Shayna Baszler: I don't want to be any next anything but the next Shayna Baszler of MMA. I think Gina is doing her thing and it's awesome. And it's opened up a lot of opportunities for people like me.
But I want people to know who Shayna Baszler is based on me and not necessarily based on Gina. So I think it's a great ?? like I said before, they're showcasing other females on CBS now. So people are going to know other names besides Gina really soon. I think that's awesome. So, I guess what I am saying is that rather than like replacing and being the next face of women's MMA, I want to be another face.
Cristiane Cyborg: I echo Shayna's comments and I'd also like to say it's an honor and pleasure to be a part of it and an additional female fighter in MMA and the female face of the Chute Box Academy.
QUESTION: Robbie, did you want to get a rematch right away?
Scott Smith: Yeah, definitely, and the fact they told me in the ring before they even announced the decision, ‘don't worry, you guys will do it again.’ I kind of knew it was coming. I'm glad neither of us had another fight in between. There's always a chance of injury and this is some unfinished business we have to take care of. And I don't want to take the chance of it not happening.
So I'm really glad it is happening as soon as it is. I didn't think it would be as quick. But I figured it would be both of our next fights.
