Recently I had the chance to talk with one of the biggest personalities in women’s MMA Bec “Rowdy” Hyatt, who on July 13, will be competing at Invicta FC 6 against Mizuki Inoue.
MF: How is the camp for this fight going?
BH: It’s been Flawless and I just have my fingers crossed that it keeps going this way. This camp has been great because I been sparring with people my own size. With one week left the weight cut is really all that’s left.
MF: The long journey to the United States this is your third time making the trip is it getting any easier?
BH: I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it.
MF: Being brought back for the third straight time to compete in an Invicta, how special is that for you?
BH: I’m happy to help out and be on the card. It’s nice to know that they appreciate how I’m performing and I’ve fought hard to earn it.
MF: Inoue, your Invicta FC 6 opponent can you share some thoughts on her?
BH: She’s young, fearless, and dangerous every where. She’s been very vocal talking about wanting to stand with me.
MF: Do you think by Inoue saying she wants to stand with you, that she may be setting a trap?
BH: I think she has the intentions to stand. Well have to see on fight night how the fight goes, but I’m well rounded so whatever happens it wont phase me.
MF: The first time I talked to you, you where preparing for Joanne Calderwood. A few days later your moved into the inaugural Strawwieght title bout; what was the world-wind experience like?
BH: I was on a huge high the whole trip. I went out gave some and got some. I took a lot away that loss. If I keep winning I’ll get another shot at Carla. I would also welcome the opportunity to finish my business with Joanne Calderwood.
MF: Your last fight against Jasminka Cive, was that the first time you went into a fight with anger towards your opponent and what was that like for you?
BH: It was my first fight with beef going into it. It was a genuine hate I had going on for Cive. It was hard to block the emotions. It was also great to back up my trash talk and shut her up.
MF: We know you love your tattoos, got any new ink or planning on any?
BH: Next I’m planning on getting my neck done. My moms not to happy with that idea, so I might get mom on my neck.
MF: Saw on facebook you got a new hair color going on, what the story there?
BH: I has went rainbow and now I’m going with bubble gum blue.
MF: Fighter are always tinkering and changing thing in their camps, anything new you been doing this camp?
BH: I added swimming for recovery and cardio, it’s also good for the weight cut.
MF: What’s it been like for you this sudden climb to fame?
BH: It’s been amazing, that’s why I say it was a great decision to take the Esparza fight on short notice. I’m happy to know that my hard work is paying off.
MF: Got any message to send out to the fans?
BH: Thank you for the support and keep it coming. I’m going to punch Mizuki Inoue in the face on July 13, at Invicta FC 6.
