Miranda Maverick: Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. ~James 1:2-4~ Bad night. I’ve never felt this level of defeat and I don’t plan on feeling it again. I just never seemed to put my body into motion; this fight wasn’t a reflection of the advances I have made as a fighter or person, the amazing weight cut and camp I had, or the hard work my team has put into me. Congratulations to @blanchfield_mma and thank you to the fans who don’t disappear after the first sign of difficulty. Thank you to my people who are not letting this night define me as a person and don’t let me fall into that trap of thought either.
