“I do do that a lot in training and get in trouble a bit because I go in that position and then get stuck there a little bit and don’t move on to the next and upgrade. Today, it worked, so I’m not going to complain.”

Collins on becoming more active

Sara Collins

“I don’t know, hopefully another fight this year. Since starting MMA, we had the pandemic, as well. I’ve only had one fight a year for my whole career, so I’d like to get a year where I have at least two fights would be nice.”

“I just want to keep fighting. Yeah – keep fighting.”
