Jimy Hettes

Jimy Hettes

TRAINING: Training usually changes every week, but for the most part I usually do a 2-3 session a day routine.  The first session is either wrestling or jiu-jitsu. Then at 3pm I usually get a strength and conditioning workout in. From there, the night session is usually Muay Thai or MMA technique and sparring.

When and why did you start training for fighting? A good mixture of wrestling and jiu-jitsu left me looking for something more to compete in and MMA has definitely helped me fill that competitive void.

What ranks and titles have you held? M.A.S.S Featherweight Champion, Northeast MMA Featherweight Champion

Do you have any heroes? Anyone chasing their dream is a hero to me.

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? I'm honored to be allowed to showcase my skills in the UFC. It's the major leagues and it leaves me with a great sense of accomplishment to be recognized by such a high class organization, yet at the same time it motivates me to work harder and prove I deserve the opportunity that has been granted to me.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? LCCC - Studied Criminal Justice

What was your job before you started fighting? Grappling Instructor

Specific accomplishments in amateur competition? Intimidation Cage Fighting Champion

Specific accomplishments in pro competition? 100% finish rate, all submission victories, Martial Arts Super Sport Featherweight Champion, Northeast MMA Featherweight Champion

Ranks in any martial arts styles: Judo Brown Belt, BJJ Brown Belt

Favorite grappling technique: Guillotine

Favorite striking technique: Superman Punch
