[Operator] Good day everyone and welcome to the GCC conference call! Today call is being recorded as it's time for opening remarks and introductions, I'd like to turn the call over to GCC President, Fazan Khan.
Mr. Khan: Thank you and welcome everyone to our media day conference call for GCC 7: Galanos vs. DeMeans! For the first time ever, the GCC will be holding a live event with no fans in attendance in respect to our fans and fighters health and well being. Today, we are joined by both Gaia Galanos and Misty DeMeans who will issue their statements shortly as well, we will being hearing from several other fighters scheduled to compete.
Before we begin, I just want to take the time to thank all of our wonderful fans for your continued support. Our last event, GFN 7 was a hit as we drew the highest amount of subscribers for a single show as Alejandro River cemented himself as a global star. We drew 200, 000 new subscribers for that show which has set a new record.
Furthermore, we've made some huge signings and MMA gyms around the world have looked to GCC to give their fighters a global platform. Our reach is becoming bigger than MMA, evidenced by the multitude of cross over stars who have entered the GCC Octagon... Anaquin Adams, Jay Aguero and most notably Atara Themis who will be making her debut on our under card Saturday Night.
With the recent success of GFN 7, we project that GCC 7 will raise the bar yet again and shatter our previous record as two very important figures in Women's MMA face off in the Main Event with a combined 10-0 professional record for the GCC featherweight championship!
I won't take up too much of your time, I know both Gaia Galanos and Misty DeMeans have plenty they want to say to each other and you guys probably have a mother load of questions for the both of them so I'll leave the floor to my friends in the media to pose the first question...
[WHO STEPS UP FIRST?]

Atara Themis
''It's a real honor to be apart of the GCC and I'm looking forward to the opportunity to prove what I can do inside the cage. I hope Lyla Nitro brings her best, I hope she's ready to put on a show, but mostly I hope she's ready for another L on that record.''
Mia Stevens
"I think I'm ready for Brooklyn, since I was supposed to fight her in my debut, but that fight was unfortunately called off and I was put up against Layla Nitro, which made me underprepared for that fight. So in all honesty, I've had almost two whole training camps to prepare for this fight."
Jessica House
''I think that we are similar type fighter we both like to throw heavy hands, we look for the Knockout. She has had more success then me with that but still I think that she hasn't faced someone like me who has a tough chin and is willing to take a shot to throw a shot. I think I can force her beyond round 1 and because of that I think my experience will see me to a victory.
I also just want to say, I hope everyone stays safe given this insane time right now. I mean it's scary in the world right now and we need to just focus on getting through it.''
Gaia Galanos
''Misty likes to mess with people headed into a fight. Well, now is the time for her shut everyone up and win a title, but I don’t care about the story she has in her head. She won’t be shutting everyone up with my title. Misty can go drop some weight and try for the Bantam. Maybe her and Feloni could share that title somehow. At GCC 7, a silent stadium is the perfect place for Misty to realize she came up empty in my Featherweight Division. Tough luck, bitch.”
