Q & A
Q: When and why did you start training for fighting?
ANSWER:
January 3rd of 2010. I was supposed to go to college to play basketball but didn't know what I wanted to study and didn't want to be in debt, so I decided to take a year off, and then I saw Anderson Silva fight Forest Griffin and fell in love with the sport. Plus, I've always been into martial arts and I've been in a lot of fights, so I figured I might as well get paid for it.
Q: Training
ANSWER:
Three hours of BJJ, 1 ½ hours of strength and conditioning and 1 ½ to two hours of strikingWhat ranks and titles have you held?I held 2 amateur titles and 1 professional titleDo you have any heroes?My mom is my biggest hero, then Muhammad Ali, Anderson Silva and Lebron James I'm just a fan of greatness.What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC?A dream come true.
