[The Bellicose MMA Logo displays on-screen for three seconds.] [Rika Noguchi] "Good evening, everyone. Tonight we're here with the fan favorite, Rosalia." [Rika Noguchi] "Rosalia, congratulations on your recent victories after a challenging losing streak! How did it feel to finally get those wins and turn the tide in your career?" [Rosalia Avalos] Thank you! Y'know, it felt li' super alleviatin' after the past matches I've had and all the trainin' I been through in the past weeks. [Rosalia Avalos] I was on cloud nine y'could say 'cus I been workin' so hard to get on track and to deliver summin' exciting for the fans and to finally break through that rough streak of losses. [Rosalia Avalos] But I'm grateful for all the experience I've gathered so far. Yeah, I had a rough start but it really kept me on the ground and it fueled my motivation to keep training so I'd get better in the ring. [Rosalia Avalos seems excited as she speaks with almost sparkling eyes. She's using a fair amount of hand movements to get her message across.] [Rika Noguchi] And deliver you did— but many supporters said they could see your first win on the horizon after your revised training routine. To them, their support has finally paid off. [Rika Noguchi] Your journey in MMA has been marked by perseverance and determination. Can you share the mindset and strategies that helped you bounce back from seven consecutive losses and secure these impressive victories? [Rosalia Avalos] Y'know as corny as it is, it all comes down to believin' in yourself.. it really does. How you gon' step in the ring that day and prove to everyone that this is /your/ thing if you can't deliver that in an honest way? [Rosalia Avalos] Believe me when I say it was rough in the beginning and I been on the verges of quittin' too. [Rosalia Avalos] But 'den at the same time? It gave me the power to step up again 'n make somethin' out of it.. /this/ is what I wanna do and I'll go all the way to reach my goals. [Rosalia Avalos] Love yourself, you're all you got in this world to get further in life 'n nobody else gon' do it for you. [Rosalia Avalos chuckles a bit after saying so.] [Rosalia Avalos] Call me corny but I'm a firm believer 'o that! [Rosalia Avalos] And not to forget, I got a good coach who knows how to push me durin' trainin'. [Rika Noguchi says] On that note, you've officially signed to Bellicose recently. [Rika Noguchi] Signing a new contract and potentially heading towards stardom must be an exciting milestone in your career. How do you envision this new chapter unfolding, and what are your goals and aspirations moving forward? [Rosalia Avalos] Trainin'.. lots of trainin'. I still got a long way to go considerin' the powerful women that will be my opponents in the ring. I'm real excited to learn more and develop my own style to eventually juss' kick ass in the ring li' it ain't no thing. [Rosalia Avalos] Y'could guess my end goal.. to get that belt y'know? I dream of that and I use it as my ultimate motivation work on on myself 'n my skills in the ring. [Rosalia Avalos] I really wanna deliver to my fans, show LS that us women in Bellicose can f'sure kick ass. [Rosalia Avalos straightens her back, tilting her head to the side for a second to stay comfortable in her seat as she lets Rika speak again.] [Rika Noguchi] And finally, as a female MMA fighter, you're breaking barriers and inspiring many aspiring athletes. [Rika Noguchi] How do you feel about being a role model for young women who aspire to succeed in combat sports, and what message would you like to share with them? [Rosalia Avalos] Look at all the women we have in Bellicose so far, it's amazing to see 'em peak in what they do 'n it's part of why I love bein' wid' Bellicose.. I hope it inspires other women to go after what they love to do 'n make the most of themselves in life. [Rosalia Avalos] Even for 'em to join us or juss' if they need that lil push in life to step into the gym or work on a healthier lifestyle. [Rosalia Avalos] As for myself? It's a bit unreal to be called one for young women y'know? I'm still young myself 'n I look up to others in the league as well, for their strength and skills.. so to be called one myself? It definitely motivates me to set an example. [Rika Noguchi]: Thank you so much for joining us this evening, Rosalia. Should we expect to see you fighting at the next Rockford Dome event? [Rosalia Avalos] I'm down, I'll never skip out on a fight if I'm lined up for one. Hope to see you all at my next fight! [Rosalia Avalos does a peace sign with a grin on her face for the end of the interview.] [An advert for new fighters, commentators, and referees alike is previewed at the end of the video.

Sandy Shores Tuesday, ‎January ‎26, ‎2021 at roughly 10 PM, the correspondent of Independent News Media was journalizing the aftermath of a G6 protests, collecting interviews from multiple witnesses who claim that G6 provoked the protesters and that the Sheriff's Department used tear-gas to disperse an allegedly peaceful protest. In America, whether you're a citizen or not, you have the right to assemble and make your voice heard as long as it is peaceful. If multiple allegations from witnesses are to be believed, the Sheriff's Department had violated the people's first amendment right of the United States Constitution. During one of the interviews, a man previously seen upset with the presence of news coverage, is seen getting off a motorcycle and sprinting directly towards the camera, presumably to attack. The corresponded, who was filming at the time, then dashed off and sprinted for their life until the interviewee rescued her. The corresponded plans to make a police report about the incident, at the time the identity of the attacker is unconfirmed, so are his affiliations with either the G6 or the Sheriff's department.
