2. (flr) Tell us a little bit about your career as wmma fighter?

• (Jocelyn) Right now I’m 3-1 as an ammy. I have had some great fights and looking to get 2 more fights in before fighting Pro in Feb for Blackeye. Jillian and I knew the twin thing would take off over night and it’s been a great ride.
