She told the world's largest martial arts organization:
"I really like to visualize my arm being raised. We need to believe in ourselves. I work hard in every training camp, and this is the first time I’ve done two back-to-back camps with no rest. I’m confident. I’ve been through many battles against top athletes. I started by facing the best. I’m going in to get another knockout."
Needless to say, Rodrigues fully expects her hands raised in victory, and the coveted golden belt back over her shoulder as soon as the night ends.
