"Yabushita offered herself to fight me, because she has fought bigger girls before, but I won't take it. "I'm anxious to make my debut, but I need an opponent of my size. Some girls want to fight me to get attention, but can't make a joke, a circus out of this. I want a real fight."
"I want to fight MMA as a challenge, it's not about money or anything like that. I didn't take this fight because of the weight, size and strength difference. People always judged me for being stronger, so I think that accepting this fight wouldn't be good for my career and my image.
"I think I can make 192 pounds. For this fight in Japan, I said I would be willing to cut down to 198. The problem is that Real Fight wants me to fight a Japanese fighter. There are a few promotions in Brazil making me offers, like XFC. I just want to fight. I even looked at potential opponents. There's Amanda Lucas, a girl that fought for DEEP, and Lana, that I fought a few times in jiu-jitsu. Those are big girls, but, if they can't find opponents for me (in Japan), I will make my debut here in Brazil."
