The 21-year-old Tarin is now the second youngest fighter on the
\ncurrent UFC roster. Tarin warns her future opponents not to judge
\nher by her looks. While Tarin knows she looks like a little girl at
\n21, she says her Octagon persona, \u201cKill Bill,\u201d is a whole different
\nperson.<\/p>\n

Another Person in the Octagon<\/h2>\n

\u201cI know I look like a little girl,\u201d said in a post-fight interview.
\n\u201cI am a girl, I\u2019m 21, but I\u2019m ready. I\u2019m training all the day. So
\nmy face is not me. Regina is here, but \u2018Kill Bill\u2019 is in the
\nOctagon. It\u2019s really another person. So I\u2019m ready for all the
\nopponents, just call me and I\u2019m ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tarin (8-0) originally earned the nickname \u201cKill Bill\u201d after being
\nunderestimated by her early opponents. Tarin is now undefeated in
\neight pro fights with six finishes. Tarin also went for the WWE
\ntryouts last month, but later clarified that she would continue
\npursuing a career in MMA. <\/p>\n
