Biography

TRAINING: A typical day consists of going to work for nine hours, then home to help feed the kids and get them to bed, then off to training for around two hours. Eat, sleep, repeat. 

When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training martial arts with a friend when I was 14 and I never left the gym. And after achieving my black belt, I found MMA and was eager to compete.

What ranks and titles have you held? None

Do you have any heroes? No

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It's everything I've ever wanted for as long as I can remember. This has been my only goal. 

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

What was your job before you started fighting? Panel beater 

Specific accomplishments in amateur competition? 4-0 MMA record
