Quotes from last night's weighins:
Frausto:
“It’s been the best camp I’ve ever had. I couldn’t be happier with it."
“I expect her to stand up for about 30 seconds, but as soon as I hit her she is going to try to take me down. She won’t be able to stand up with me or take my punches."
“It’s always really good to be fighting at home. There will be a lot of supporters, so I can’t wait to get in there and brawl. “"
Tate:
“I plan on going out there and taking care of business. I’m going to capitalize on any mistake she makes."
“I’d like to end it in TKO, but if the submission is there I’ll take it."
“I’m looking for the quick victory. The fans are going to love this fight. She’s in her hometown, so they’ll all be behind her. I know she’ll bring it and I’m prepared.”
