Ms. Namita Nayyar: You must had your share of injuries during professional fights. How you were able to overcome such a physical injury/setback and what advice you can give to fellow fighter person in a similar situation?
Ms. Lisa Ellis: Yes, MMA has many injuries that plague us. I’ve had many injuries such as hand and nose breaks, sprained and torn muscles and ligaments. I was able to overcome these injuries by not letting it get me down but rather look at it as something that was suppose to happen. If I hurt my upper half of my body I work my lower half and vice versa.
There is typically something we can work on with any injury we get. But the biggest thing I can say is let your injury heal. No need to rush it!
Ms. Namita Nayyar: With exceptional hard work you are credited with all your achievements. Do you believe that does the hand of Providence (Supreme Being) played a role in
your success?
Ms. Lisa Ellis: I believe my success has a lot to do with my persistence and hard work. If I had quit the many times I wanted to I would never be where I am today. It hasn’t been easy but it has been worth it.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: You were blessed with your first daughter, Elenor in 2013 and you were offered to join “The Ultimate Fighter “. Tell us about measures you took for your post pregnancy recovery and your decision to be back in the fighting ring?
Ms. Lisa Ellis: You know this was a very hard decision to make. My husband stood by me 100% and I knew he could take care of everything while I was gone. He had to take care of our 1 year old and our business. Tough thing to do and he knocked it outta the park. As for me, I was about 6 months Post pregnancy when I heard about the Ultimate Fighter. I just knew I had to try out or I would regret it.
I made it past the first few interviews and next thing I knew I was leaving. It was so hard to actually leave. It broke my heart and being stuck in the house being injured was just awful. I wish I had a better experience but it just wasn’t in my deck of cards. I don’t think my body was ready to compete at that high of a level either but looking back I would do it again…for a whole lot more money.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: Who has been your greatest influence and motivator in your success in the field of your career in competitive women mixed martial art professional fighting?
Ms. Lisa Ellis: My husband. He’s amazing!
