Jinh yu frey professional#
A unanimous decision loss to Loma Lookboonmee marked the first time in her professional career that she’d suffered back-to-back losses. Her second outing didn’t go her way, either. I was so worried about all these outside things.” It almost started to feel like more of a job, like I was putting so much pressure on myself. Then the next fight leading up to it, it was double the pressure because it's like, okay, you lost your debut, you have to win, there's no other option, you have to win. I hadn't really been training because of my injury. I had so much anxiety going in because I knew I wasn't in great shape. “I went ahead and took the opportunity, and I was so nervous. Her worst fears realized, she stumbled in her UFC debut to Kay Hansen. It was June of 2020, so things were just weird.” I didn't know if I was going to keep fighting and I just got the opportunity on six-days’ notice to go up a weight class at a time that I wasn't really even sure that I was going to continue, and also being right in the middle of the pandemic. “At the start of my UFC career, my debut was a short notice fight and I was coming off a really serious injury and I was actually considering retiring. But what if you could go a little further?’ I think he knew that if I didn't take that opportunity that it might be something that I look back on in 10 or 15 or 20 years, or even a year later when the opportunity's passed and just be upset and regretting it.” He just really didn't want me to lose the opportunity. “I was really uncomfortable with the idea, and my husband, he’s my biggest cheerleader, he thinks I could do anything. She knew that would be the case and, for a moment, she wasn’t even sure she wanted it. Despite moving up a weight class in a different promotion where she went from knowing the life of a champion to being unranked, the spotlight was nonetheless notably brighter. I want people to look into my life and see what I'm doing in my home life.’ So, it's definitely something that I've had to work on.” “I'm actually kind of an introverted private person and so it does take a lot of effort for me to be like, ‘Okay, I want to share these things. “It doesn't come natural to me,” she explains ahead of her prelim-opening bout Saturday at UFC Fight Night: Tsarukyan vs Gamrot.
If her desire to duck the spotlight is commendable, it’s also wildly atypical for her chosen career. Inside the cage, she’s the former Invicta FC atomweight champion and a rising UFC strawweight star. Outside her fighting career, she owns an associate degree in Nuclear Medicine, a bachelor’s in radiologic sciences and a master’s in Business Administration. She’s more interesting than she’d have you believe.
