Recently Leading Featherweight contender Big Mama Jessica House sat down with a journalist from her home town paper the Las Vegas Review Journal to talk about her upcoming contest with Gaia Galanos at the upcoming Global Combat Championships Global Fight Night 18 on March 12th 2021.
Reporter: Mrs House thank you for taking the time to talk to me today.
Jessica House: No problem always happy to chat.
Reporter: Well first off I like to ask about how this match came about. You called your gym (Mrs House trains at the TW Combat gym in New York) to let them know that after Gaia beat Rupika Khan on the GCC 15 event. What made you wanted to fight her following this?
Jessica House: Well it’s simple like I said when I talk to my team at TW Combat I want to fight and test myself against the best. I feel that Gaia represent that as it currently stands in the company. She is a true veteran of the cage and I don’t feel I can truly call myself number 1 in the Featherweight division until I beat her.
Reporter: Does it make you nervous that Gaia is coming off three straight wins with GCC?
Jessica House: No that just make me want to beat her even more because it means she is on a roll and it will mean that much more when I beat her.
Reporter: When the fight was announced by GCC Owner Fazan Al-Khan Gaia gave a comment saying that you will tap when you face her inside the cage what your thoughts on those words?
Jessica House: Listen there are very few fighters who can match Gaia for submission skills and I don’t underestimate that she will look to make me tap but the fact is she going to have to get close to me to do that which I want as it will allow me to use my striking skills on her which given her issue with strikers in the past give me the confidence to say that if she does get close then she is going to sleep.
Reporter: Do you feel that this fight should be for the Featherweight title since Misty DeMeans has claimed she is retried also saying that the best person to be champion beside herself is Gaia?
Jessica House: Honestly I couldn’t give a **** what Misty says. I mean she strung me along when I had my title match with her and frankly I have no respect for her. She is an unbeaten champion and a good fighter but she is also one of the most detestable people I have ever met. All this fight is about is me proving myself against the woman I say is the best in the division. If the title on the line when it comes fight night that’s fine and I look forward to holding it up. If not then I’m going to lose sleep over it I’m just interested in getting to win to continue my career in GCC!
