What ranks and titles have you held? Gladiator Challenge Light Heavyweight Champion. Hitman Light Heavyweight Champion. Danger Zone Light Heavyweight Champion. Rumble at the River tournament Champion. 2x University National Champion. NCAA All-American, US. Olympic Team Alternate.
Do you have any heroes? Pope John Paul II.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? This is my dream. I've wanted this since 1993.
