‘Bate Estaca’ stated that she never talked about her childhood suffering before to anybody else other than the closest people in her life. “I hated it, hated it. I had never spoken [about childhood abuse]. Only the closest people knew. Now the whole world will know. But it’s part of it.” said the former UFC champion.
