We're pleased to announce that the weekend after this recording Whitney was victorious as the new Lion Fights Women’s North American Super Bantamweight champion! Find out about Whitney's global training journey, fighter prep Thai style, sticky rice and tuk tuks, being an MT purist in a town obsessed with MMA, weight cuts and snickers bars, underground sparring teams, and how good people will always find you.
