"Christiane spars only with men, and they don't pull their punches. She'll take a shot to the face, shrug it off and come back with a brutalizing leg kick and a powerful punch. Afterward, guys will say, 'She rocked me.' The feeling in the gym is that she'd defeat the majority of men in her weight class." -- Lucas Stone, co-owner of The Arena, an MMA gym
