For the first time, UFC strawweight Kay Hansen feels ready to open up publicly about some of the challenges she has overcome. In an exclusive interview with Bloody Elbow, Hansen discussed what it was like leaving a toxic environment, rebuilding her team, and shared her thoughts about her upcoming fight against Cory McKenna at UFC VEGAS 14: ‘RDA VS FELDER’ on Saturday, November 14th at the UFC APEX.
Hansen describes her childhood as unstable and filled with pressure put on by her family. She was raised by mother, alone, until she was seven.
