How did you get your nickname? “When I first started out in Tae Kwon Do I always went for the kick to the head. It is something that has stayed with me throughout my mixed martial arts career. Even now, when I box, I am always aiming for my opponent’s head. It is the quickest way to end the fight.”
How does it feel to fight in the UFC? “This is a seven-year dream come true. For the past seven years I have dreamed of one day being able to fight in the UFC. The UFC has the best fighters in the world and to be able to say that I am one of them is an honor.”
What is your biggest weapon in a fight? “Definitely my take-down defense. I am a good defender against the take down and I use that to tire my opponents. I make them pay for each attempt that they try to take me down."
What is your favorite technique? “The right upper-cut. It is my bread and butter."
