She added regarding the head contact controversy: “It’s just facts. Obviously there is a head situation, intentional or not. I’d rather be punched ten times in the head rather than headbutted.”
“Sometimes, I think you’ve just got to be a bit more cautious with the head. It’s not boxing, is it? The fact is, you have to watch those heads.”
