Today we are picking up our conversation about Title IX with a world-class

athlete who's held multiple world titles in the sport of mixed martial arts.

Now her success as a world champion was made possible in large part by the

opportunities that Title IX presented for her as a collegiate wrestler, a true

fighter's fighter, Carla Sparza.

How's it going?

It's going good.

It's tough, it's a grind, but yeah, I love the process for sure.

What does that look like?

What's an average day in camp look like for you?

Well, today was my rest day and I went to see Fight Dog for treatment, had a

90 minute massage, went to get treatment on my leg, so it's my rest day.

But like a normal training day would be like MMA training for like two hours in

the morning, potentially some recovery afterwards and then maybe a two to

three hour break at home to rest and eat and then back to wrestling or some

other type of training you did sooth.

I grew up doing martial arts, learning martial arts just as a kid and

practice different, you know, Taekwondo, Filipino stick fighting, Arnise,

I did Brazilian cupouetta for probably the longest time and you just got even

cooler.

Started to just do things.

I'll take it from you.
