It's true that the athlete indicated that she returned to MMA only to face Gina, but she made it clear that she wants to extend her partnership with Netflix.

“I would say that this is a professional fight and there is no such thing as second-rate greatness. The fight that makes the most money is the biggest fight, period. And, obviously, we have very different definitions of greatness. Mine is making history, having a cultural impact and influencing the future of the sport. I have the record of winning eight consecutive title fights,” said the star.

“There’s nothing else for me to do. Right now, Gina and I are breaking the record for the highest-paid women in combat sports history. And who’s to say we can’t use that success to make a genre-defining martial arts film with Netflix afterwards?”

“Who says the success of this fight can’t create the rivalry the UFC needs and give fighters the bargaining power they’ve never had? If we crush it, I can become the face of MVP in MMA and the most powerful figure in the sport since Dana. I’m not after greatness, you son of a bitch! I am greatness! These bitches are the ones chasing me,” he concluded.
