Biography
TRAINING: My day starts with a morning MMA practice. We do pad work and kickboxing sparring. Then we do five rounds of MMA sparring. Later on in the day I do my strength and conditioning. I do sprints, flip tires, weights, sled pulling and other things. The last workout of the day we do some grappling techniques, followed by some live grappling, and wrestling
Thoughts on opponent, Diego Brandao? Diego has good striking with a lot of power, and he also has a good ground game with good submissions. It should make for an exciting fight!
When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training MMA because I grew up watching the old UFC's and I saw how good the wrestlers were doing and wanted to do it ever since. I have been training for almost four years now.
What ranks and titles have you held? I am a C3 lightweight champion
Do you have any heroes? None
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means a lot for me to be in the UFC because it’s the Super Bowl of MMA. I’ve always dreamed about some day fighting in the UFC.
