American mixed martial artist Cat Zingano is ready to get inside the octagon once more. After multiple injuries and personal tragedy, Zingano has picked up the pieces of her life and moved on. The UFC women's bantamweight contender will fight once more following his husband's death last January.

Her last fight was with Miesha Tate in which she had defeated the latter during their match last April 13, 2013, in Las Vegas.

According to Zingano "It's a great physical outlet and something I've always loved."

She will be facing Amanda Nunes on the main card of UFC 178 on Sept. 27 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Her coach with the Elevation Fight Team in Colorado Leister Bowling has high regards for Zingano comparing her to UFC heavyweight Shane Carwin.

Bowling said "I've always said that Shane could come straight off a bar stool without training and probably be a top-five UFC heavyweight. And I think Cat's that way. She's the female version of Shane Carwin. It's been a long time since she's fought, but she loves this and she's one of those fighters like Shane was who, when the bell rings, is going to come out guns a-blazing."

According to Zingano, swhen she fights, she gives it her all. She has wrestled with boys during high school and her traning partners were not kind at all.

She said "Their goal wasn't just to make me leave the [wrestling] room and not come back, but they wanted to make me not want to wrestle ever again. We've talked since and they said they wanted to make me quit for life. Every single time, even when I had twisted, sprained, broken things, I'd get up, slap hands and go again."

"My coach now was one of those people, he and his friend [Burt Stringer]. They wanted to make me quit, but he said that I'd won, because I wouldn't quit. And that's how I am. If I'm going to quit something, it's going to be because I decide to and not because someone made me."

According to her coach, their main goal was to make her opponent quit.
