Lynch continued, referring to the match against Laila Valkyria.
“She beat me, quick roll up, very quick roll up, that wasn’t a decisive victory. Do you beat me with a very quick roll up? Do you know what I did after that? I’m such a great person, so I raised her hand.
Looking at recent events, she criticized Valkyria’s actions.
“What did she do tonight? She kicked me in the face. I have a big chunk here. My wonderful face is already hurt, by the way. My nose won’t sit perfectly straight anymore.

“All of these things I have given to the industry. I wear the wounds of what I did to my body.
She concluded by dealing with online comparisons and backlash.
