“I am old school, I don’t think women should be fighting, but you know, if she’s going to be fighting than learn from the best. Ryron’s a great coach for her, she’s very successful and I think she’s got a few years ahead of her in success. She’s very committed and very dedicated and knowledgeable in the art.”
