Q & A

Q: When and why did you start training for fighting?

ANSWER: I started training boxing when I was 14. I was in 9th grade and I was tiny. I was about 5'1" and I got picked on every day for being so small... It sucked, so I took up boxing. Not to fight anyone, But so everyone knew I could fight and would leave me alone. AND IT WORKED. So I boxed for 1 year, gained knowledge out of Cus D'Amato’s, learning from the same man who taught Mike Tyson himself, Kevin Rooney. After a year, I started getting into wrestling, I joined the wrestling team at my school and went 21-3 my first year of wrestling. Now, I was confident in both and I started training MMA at a local lodge where people just met up to practice moves they learned on YouTube. I took my first fight at 16 and it was for a title. I won a hard fight by decision and now I was hooked.
