The former Invicta FC atomweight champion tells FO why she needs to take Onnit supplements before every training session

A/ 16oz REYES GLOVES

“When I’m sparring I use my 16oz Reyes gloves. They’re just fantastic for sparring because you can feel the punches when you’re throwing them, and they last a long time so I don’t have to constantly change them, which can become a problem with most gloves. I feel like they just don’t break down as quickly as some of the other gloves I’ve had.”

B/ ONNIT T-SHIRT

“I used to wear a rash guard when I’d train grappling, or just for general training, but then it started to feel uncomfortable. That’s when I decided to start going to the gym in just yoga pants and a random T-shirt (laughs). Usually I throw on a T-shirt from my sponsors, Onnit, as they’ve got great tops with some really cool designs. I also have a bunch of signature T-shirts from some of my fights and from my teammates’ bouts. I like to represent and support, so you can sometimes find me wearing those when I’m in the gym too.”

C/ ONNIT SHROOM TECH AND ALPHA BRAIN SUPPLEMENTS

“Of all the supplements I use, I like to take Shroom Tech and Alpha Brain supplements on a daily basis. I feel like Shroom Tech gives me a higher awareness of things when I’m in training. Without it I find I get a bit jittery when training, but Shroom Tech gives me the extra push I need to go a little harder. Alpha Brain keeps my mind sharp, which is always good. When I really need to focus on something and pay attention to the little details, it’s really great for that.”

D/ CENTURY SHIN GUARDS

“I’ve got some great shin guards from Century MMA I like to use. They’re really trying hard to evolve with the fighters and the sport. I feel comfortable in the fact that they’re going to protect me and the person I’m sparring with whenever I use them.”

E/ CENTURY HEAD GUARD

“They’ve just brought out these great head guards that remind me of roller derby helmets. They’re really strong and you can certainly take a hit with them. They make you feel like you’re being really protected when sparring.”
