Menstruation is part of a woman’s life cycle, and many women face problems that can’t be shared easily with everyone. But some women dare to even talk about them. “Periods” are part of a woman’s monthly cycle, and at this time, many things can happen, like weight gain, mood change, etc.

As Miranda Maverick comes up with the message, her only focus is being mentally tough. Miranda has a Ph.D. in psychology, and no one is expected to know better than this UFC fighter that the mind can control everything.

As Miranda said, “It is already disrespectful to be a woman” when they give excuses like periods. And giving the excuse that the missing weight reason was periods. She targeted all the professionals because, as an amateur, you learn to fight against these minor challenges. She stated, “You will fight in big promotions like UFC, and giving excuses like these will be a downfall. She further clarifies everything saying, “Making weight is your job; you lose part of your pursuit if you don’t lose weight.”

Since it is not always about giving excuses, you must sacrifice your emotions. When it comes to living like a UFC champion or contender, you must always be ready. And as Miranda Maverick mentioned, weight loss is part of the job; if you are not ready, you better change the field.
