"I've learned that it is appropriate to hug/shake my opponents hand win or lose after my fights. I don't hate her, we are simply in the cage trying to accomplish one thing—inflict pain on the other person. I have respect for anyone brave enough to step into a cage, knowing that a person is going to try to inflict pain on them; it's the most real sport there is. There is no denying what is going to go on in that cage I know what I need to do to win as well as she does it's a mutual understanding that one of us will walk away with a victory and the other will not. People leave there hearts, soul, sweat and blood in that cage and I would gladly shake the hand of anyone who puts enough time and dedication into this to step in there." —Katie Vanderhoff
