Biography
TRAINING: Training striking, wrestling, BJJ, or strength and conditioning two to three times a day.
When and why did you start training for fighting? After I graduated from college in May of 2005. I always liked the sport. I have seen other people with a wrestling background do well, and I felt that I could succeed.
Accomplishments in amateur competition? Two-time State Place Winner for New Jersey, 2nd in H.S. Nationals in 2000, four-time Division I National Qualifier for Clarion University and College Freestyle All-American in 2004.
Accomplishments in pro competition? Former UFC lightweight champion, Reality Fighting 155lb Champion
Ranks in any martial arts styles: Purple Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Favorite grappling technique: Guillotine choke
Favorite striking technique: Right hand
Do you have any heroes? My dad and my high school wrestling coach, Mr. Reid. These two are the toughest people that I know, both mentally and physically.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It is great, considering that I only started fighting a year and a half ago, and there wasn't even a 155 weight class in the UFC at the time.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I have a BA in Political Science from Clarion University
What was your job before you started fighting? Plumber
• Made three successful title defenses (2-0-1) before loss to Henderson
• Three wins by knockout, three by submission; eight wins by decision
• Has solid standup skills as well as exceptional wrestling.
