Interview with Tonya Evinger

I spoke over the phone with Invicta FC Bantamweight champion Tonya Evinger. We talked about her title defense this Friday against Yana Kunitskaya at Invicta FC 20, blocking out the fact she could leave the cage with a ten fight win streak Friday night, Invicta FC's tremendous growth over the years, the evolution of women's mma over the last decade, why the UFC has yet to sign her, a potential superfight with Invicta FC Featherweight champion Cris Cyborg, having her eye on winning the 125 lb title in Invicta FC, trying to get across her personality to the fans to bolster interest, people being overly sensitive to some things she posts on social media, US election fallout, her unique take on getting the 135 lb title wrapped around her waist, getting set up in a gym fight for the right to train at Lion's Den, her time training under Ken Shamrock, the money minded marquee matchmaking style nowadays, her 180 turn around on the idea of becoming a pro wrestling heel, blasting country music in the gym to get prepared for fights, and so much more!
