Taylor Starling Discusses Misfits Debut
Talking exclusively to MMASucka, Taylor Starling discussed the pressure of fighting on a big Misfits card:
“I think more of my pressure is like the travel there, Dubai is a 17 hour flight for me, other than that, this is the most not nervous I’ve been for a fight, I don’t feel any pressure, it’s like, you know, of course I’m nervous, I’m getting in a fight, I’m getting in a scheduled fight like I said, but to know that I’m not going to go in there and have to fight for my life with no gloves on. It’s something about bare knuckle, every time you go in there you’re just like I don’t know what’s going to happen because bare knuckle is one of those things that can turn in a second”
On training for a boxing match rather than a bare knuckle fight, Taylor Staling said:
“It hasn’t changed too much, so when I take a bare knuckle fight it’s boxing heavy, the only thing that changes is that I might slip on some MMA gloves and work clinch and getting used to working with less on, you can’t obviously spar bare knuckle but I train boxing every single, every time I’m training it’s boxing, it’s striking, it’s boxing, erm yeah I go in there and do the same thing”

When asked her thoughts on the upcoming Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul boxing match, Taylor Starling commented:
“I think it’s so crazy how it went from Geovonte Davis to Anthony Joshua, like my God, polar opposites, so opposite ends of the spectrum, but good for Jake Paul, like you’re fighting someone that can kill you, that’s crazy and I think he gets so much sh*t but man is Jake Paul doing such amazing things for the sport like he really is, you can hate the man all you want, he was a Youtuber but Jake Paul can fight and Jake Paul is doing amazing things for women in the sport and Jake Paul is fighting his ass off.
My hats off to him, I don’t see how it goes in his favour but you know crazier things have happened”.
Taylor Starling vs Carla Jade will go down on December 20th in Dubai on Misfits Mania.
