Thunder Rosa, during the video, talks candidly about her first MMA fight and how different MMA and professional wrestling are.
Here are some of her quotes from the conversation.
"The psychology of fighting is completely different to what I have done as a professional wrestler. I wasn't used to hitting people for real" [2:35-2:43]
"Getting in the cage is a matter of respect. It is a matter of how bad you want it" [2:49-2:54]

Thunder Rosa's next feud seems to be set up against Mercedes Martinez as she is the one that helped Jade Cargill beat Rosa in the semi finals of the TBS Championship Tournament.
Rosa would surely want revenge for costing her the opportunity to become a champion. One can expect nothing short of a classic from these two.
Perhaps Rosa can use some of the tricks she learned from the Cyborg.
