Nina Ansaroff Thought About Quitting MMA To Be A Mom

In an interview with MMA Junkie, Nina Ansaroff revealed she thought about quitting MMA and becoming a mom, starting a family with her partner Amanda Nunes. Here are highlights:

On almost quitting: “I thought, maybe this isn’t going to go right for me.”

On not worrying about losses so much now: “So many fighters get bent up on, ‘I lost, and this is horrible’ – it’s not that. Everybody now is training MMA. Top-ranked opponents, you’re going to win sometimes, you’re going to lose sometimes. That’s just how this sport is. If you take it too much to your head, it can ruin you. If you’re at the beginning of your career and you’re losing, it’s OK. If you’re toward the end of your career and you keep losing, make a decision.”
