My dad, then of course all of my coaches What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? More than I can explain. It makes all of the hard work the last several years all worth something. Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? No college for this guy. What was your job before you started fighting? Rental yard, machinist and a gang of other jobs I hated.
