Gibraltar’s chief minister, Fabian Picardo, has gone on record as saying that Britain’s exit from the EU would represent an “existential” felice bet threat to the territory, not only because the future of the local economy is predicated on it remaining a gateway to Europe for overseas companies, but also politically in that Britain’s exit from the Union would surely invite Spain to push its long-standing claims to sovereignty more aggressively.

Yet by early 2014, the Illinois native wondered if she had reached her ceiling in the sport – not athletically, but in terms of it being a viable way to make a living.“I was at a position where I was burned out, and I think that’s a position some of the veterans get to once they’re in the UFC,” she said.Gibraltar: myth and method
