This was a vodcast interview, available on the Florida Ambassador Media Group YouTube Channel done before the last time Combat Night was in Jacksonville in late 2019.

Since we are 8 days out from Shelby's next fight with Combat Night for Combat Night Pro Duval, we wanted to make the audio available to our listeners.

Learn all about her background, training, and outlook on fighting. This was a great interview and is a must-listen for all MMA fans!!
