Reid, who is now signed with Bellator MMA, and stated being apart of a possible 115 pound tournament this fall. With names like # 1 ranked 125 pounder Rosi Sexton and # 1 ranked 115 pounder Megumi Fujii being thrown around, Reid says she looks forward to proving herself. She knows that she still has a long way to go, though.
“I know by fighting them, I am making a big jump in my MMA career,” Reid stated. “I have confidence in my team and in my training, but I believe I need a lot more training before (the tournament).”
Reid has been boxing for over 15 years now, and felt that MMA would be a great way of challenging herself once again. Although she has a decent stand-up game, Reid said it has been a struggle.
“It’s hard from being the best to not knowing anything,” Reid admitted. “I have been boxing for a long time, and it’s a lot easier to get into. MMA is fresh and something new. I love both of them and I am still a baby in (MMA).”
Besides her MMA bout this weekend, she has a boxing match in June in France to look forward to, and don’t expect her to quit boxing any time soon. However, Reid has a special place in her heart for MMA and will continue to pursue both sports.
“Right now, I am enjoying the business of mixed martial arts,” Reid said. “Everyone loves MMA fighters. It’s nice to be apart of that.”
