“The game plan was to stand and strike with her – get up against the cage and play that game with her. We knew that she was going to probably shoot and try to just take me down, and I feel like that game plan was pretty accurate tonight. We were prepared for that dogfight and willing to do whatever you need to be doing to win that fight.

“Obviously put it into the judges’ hands, you just don’t know. I’ve experienced that my other two fights at super close fights. You just don’t know what they’re looking for that night. But I felt confident that I did the right things they were going to be looking for tonight.”

“I come from a large family and I come from a small town, which has been my driving force behind my career. Everything I’ve done growing up as a child in that town is through sport, so I think if I’m not incorrect, probably around 60-75 people from Squamish were here tonight.”

Horth on what she wants next

“I’m here for a long time and a good time, so let’s get the ball rolling. Let’s get back home, couple weeks (off), get some Christmas holidays done, and let’s get back in the ring. … I’d like to fight early next year – and let’s try to get in at least three fights next year, more if they’ve got some short-notice and they want me to jump in and step in. I’ve fought at (1)35 and I fight at (1)25, so I’m mobile.”
