Q & A

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

ANSWER: Around 12 years ago, my parents got me and my two younger brothers into it with the mindset of self-defense, but also the mindset that if I’m spending 2-3 times a week in the gym training, then that’s 2-3 times less I’m hanging around the streets after school with mates causing trouble. And I became more and more obsessed, to the point I was going every day and never looked back.

Q: Any accomplishments in amateur combat sports?

ANSWER: Welterweight Amateur Uk & Ireland Fightstar Champion.

Q: Any belts/ ranks in grappling disciplines?

ANSWER: BJJ Black Belt under David Lee & Icon jiu jitsu

Q: What has been your toughest fight to date and why?

ANSWER: Vinicius Cenci on the Contender Series has to be the toughest to date because of the occasion and the difference between winning and losing was a UFC contract.

Q: Who is your favorite fighter and why?

ANSWER: Right now, Alex Pereira. An always game, stone cold killer.

Q: Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn?

ANSWER: I went to college from the age of 16-18 solely because I was told it was only two days a week, which meant I could train all day the other five. I had three options from my parents when leaving school at 16 - get a job, go to college or find somewhere that lets you live for free. So, college twice a week was the best option to be able to train more.What was your job before you started fighting?From 18-20 I was a Security engineer apprentice. I completed that and decided I wanted to train more and work less. So I turned down a full-time qualified security engineer job with good money to get little part-time jobs so I could pay my way and train more. Then, eventually, at 21, I got down to no job, turning professional and living from fight to fight to achieve this goal.

Q: Personal Life/Background:

ANSWER: Food, training and sleeping.
