She revealed through questioniong, that it's been three months since the breakup.  "Naka move on na ako".

Her having a boyfriend was an issue during her training last year when she was supossed to fight Malaysian muay thai contender Sito Syahida Binte Adek, in a bout where she was scrapped at the last minute.  Her relationship was reportedly interfering with her training.

Nagaowa will be battling Indian kickboxing Champion Jeet Toshi on May 2.  She is aware of the significance of the fight as she is the first female mixed martial arts fighter from the Philippines seeking her rightful place in the male-dominant sport.

She said she is not taking her fight with Toshi lightly.  "Magaling din siya pero kakayanin ko".

Her new gym provides her a monthly allowance, food and accommodation  within the gym compound.

"May training program na binigay sa akin yung gym ko sa laban ko na eto." Nagaowa said.

She said despite the cancelled bout last December, she maintained her conditioning.  As a matter of fcat, she wa shired as a boxing sparring partner in Japan just last February.

Prior to joining the ONE FC organization, the Benguet lass used to be the ABC Asia atomweight champion who has beaten the best boxcers in Asia.  She was a boxer for seven years.

Her aspiration is to become an MMA Champion.  "I dream of defending a belt in the future".
