“Just for me, it’s being the most dominant, having the most knockouts, being the most paid, you know, being the most beautiful and having the best deals,” Rosario said. “Also growing and inspiring the sport.”
For her, it’s not just about wins and losses. It’s about learning, growing and chasing her dream, and the Rosario family has been with her every step of the way.
“When she told me she wants to be the greatest female fighter of all time, there’s not a dollar I won’t spend for that, you know,” Parvin Rosario, father of Sage, said. “And when she told me that she wanted to compete and really do it at a high level and there’s no distance, I won’t drive. There’s no plane ticket I won’t buy. For me, it’s just about, you know, that’s when the fatherhood comes in, right? It’s about how do I make my daughter happy throughout life.”
