Thoughts on upcoming opponent, Clay Guida? On paper, I think that I’m better in every area and I can’t see any other outcome than a dominating victory for me. That’s the honest truth. I’m not underestimating his skills; I just know that I have more skills. Clay is a wrestler who has great conditioning and a ton of heart but he’s not a technical fighter.

When and why did you start training for fighting? I started karate lessons at nine years old. Years of martial arts training aided my athletic pursuits at Del Norte High School as a wrestler and on the high school gridiron as a linebacker. In my senior year in 2000, I won the state championship in the 152 lb weight class and etched my name amongst the best ever grapplers in school history.

What ranks and titles have you held?
I am a black belt in Gaidojutsu and the former KOTC Welterweight Champion. I have also won multiple grappling championships. Purple Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Do you have any heroes?
Rickson Gracie.

What is your favorite technique?
Rear naked choke.

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC?
It's just another step up in my career.

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

What was your job before you started fighting?
I worked at UPS.
