I have been Lady C since 1974 when I married my husband, Lord Colin Campbell. We may be divorced, but I kept the title - not because it is specifically important to me but simply because it is my name.
This is what champions do: champions defend. They always say you're not a champion until you defend your title.
Winning the belt is one thing. But you're not really a champion until you defend it.
Once I've got that world title I'll never want to lose it. I'll fight tooth and nail to keep it.
Many people talk about winning two straight gold medals, but I'm not focusing on defending the title.
The situation right after the fight wasn't too good; I believe I'm still the only champion in the world who never received the belt inside the ring once you've won the title. I held that against the English fans for a long time but I felt that also motivated me.
The Russians have held my title for ten years and they're going to be in for it when I win the Championship. They're going to have to wait and play under my conditions.
I've always done whatever is necessary to retain my Knockouts title by any means necessary.
To defend - it is very difficult to win two titles in a row.
I don't want to become world champion and lose it immediately. I want to become world champion, take over the division and take it from there.
Lord knows we've been guilty of getting too excited about a title reign only to see it last one or two fights.
The best part about being a champion is going out and defending your belt, so that's what I plan on doing and doing it many times.
Sure, Maryse is the Divas Champion, but I find it no coincidence that she supposedly got 'hurt' the week after she stole my title.
I don't care about being the champ champ. I want to be the only consecutive 12-time defending champion in any mixed martial arts promotion.
For every champion, after you win the belt, you want to defend it as many times as possible.
After you win a Premier League, the second year is more difficult.
Shinsuke, as champion, wasn't even doing anything and wasn't defending it and was hiding all the time.
