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. All the hard work, sacrifices, blood, sweat, and tears were worth it.  And it would mean that I'm on the right path for what I want in life.What was your job before you started fighting?A lot of different factory jobs where I wasn’t happy. I'm happy when I'm in the gym and in the cage.Specific accomplishments in amateur competition?I held two titles for two of the best shows in West Michigan and was unbeaten with 11 wins - all finishes.Ranks in any martial arts styles:Brown belt in Gracie BJJ and a brown belt in Mmatrix striking systemFavorite grappling technique:Whatever is openFavorite striking technique: Whatever is open
