Biography

TRAINING: A typical day of training consists of improving all my techniques in all areas, depending on what I'm training that day. I’ll do strength and conditioning midday, then rest until early evening, then wrestle, and it’s boxing techniques and pads at night.

When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training in 2008 with no martial arts background. I started training because it was interesting to me and I thought I’d be good at it.

What ranks and titles have you held? UK Light Heavyweight Number 1 - UCMMA LHW Champion

Do you have any heroes? Mike Tyson, because I liked his style and aggression!

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means everything to me. It’s what I’ve worked for since I’ve started training, but getting there is not enough; I’ll keep working until I am champion and a UFC legend.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? No

What was your job before you started fighting? Car Dealer and worked in a Car Rental Business.

Favorite grappling technique: X-Guard

Favorite striking technique: Jab!

•    Pro since 2008

•    12 wins by KO, one by submission

•    10 first round finishes
