And she plans to become a mainstream sensation — like ex-UFC world champion Rousey.
London 2012 Olympic lightweight gold winner Taylor said: “I’d like to do what Rousey has done in UFC and raise the profile of our sport.
“UFC take female fighters seriously and they claim equal billing to men. That’s huge.”
And having won every major amateur prize, Taylor is sure she can cut it in the paid ranks.

She added: “It is important to be financially secure when I’m finished as it’s a short career but I am not motivated by money.
“It’s a new challenge, that’s what is exciting.
“I’d love to win a world title, unify the belts, go up the weights and win more titles.”
