"MMA has taught me how to work hard, and that it pays off. It taught me to take responsibility for my own actions, how to be a team player, and has given me some perspective about what's really important. It's like, when you're crumpled into a cage twice a week with a grown man punching you, suddenly being stuck in traffic doesn't seem so bad. I don't know if I would have learned those lessons anywhere else." —Lauren Murphy
