Bill Hanstock is a writer, author and Emmy Award-winning producer. He began writing for SB Nation in 2011.

The most dangerous woman on the planet recently sat down for a lengthy interview with espnW over prickly pear margaritas. She touched on a lot of important topics, like how to balance being the first MMA fighter to receive a fashion designer’s sponsorship with how amazing she looks in baseball caps:

I’ve got a really good hat head. But my hair is still done, so the struggle is real. Do I cover the amazing hair? Or do I show how great my head is in hats?

You should also be aware that she is anti-carb and anti-wrap. When she’s training, this is a sample of what her menu looks like:

8 a.m.: Two teaspoons oat bran, two teaspoons chia seeds, two teaspoons hemp seeds; 10 a.m.: Train; 11:45: Post-exercise smoothie; 12 p.m.: Farmer’s scramble: one whole egg, plus two egg whites, two sides of turkey bacon; 4 p.m.: Snack: one apple, one-fourth cup raw almonds, one-fourth cup raw cashews; 6 p.m.: Train. Post-exercise smoothie, da, da, da. Before bed: Chamomile tea. Everything’s got an hour, an amount, everything.

AG: And you follow it to the letter?

RR: Yeah. And instead of vitamins, I have this giant shake twice a day, so it’s all fresh vegetables and fruits: a whole beet, a whole apple, two carrots, four strawberries, one cup of blueberries, two handfuls of red grapes, one whole lemon, one handful of spinach, one handful of kale, one-fourth handful of parsley, two stalks of celery, two tablespoons of hemp seeds, two tablespoons of chia seeds, one tablespoon of coconut oil, one chard leaf, no stem.

AG: Just the one chard leaf.

RR: [Laughs.] Just the one, yeah.

She also has terrific and eclectic taste in movies:

AG: What movie have you watched more than any other movie?

RR: I think it’s a four-way tie between “Fight Club,” “The Fifth Element,” “Pulp Fiction” and “When Harry Met Sally.”

The whole interview is incredible. You should check it out over at espnW.
