Biography

TRAINING: I have an intense workout schedule, training at 2 different gyms, swimming, biking, and lifting. I also keep a pretty strict diet

Thoughts on opponent, Edson Barboza? Edson is a very talented fighter. I have watched his recent fights and he is explosive. He had an incredibly exciting bout against Anthony Njokuani, who is another talented fighter that I am familiar with from WEC.

 
When and why did you start training for fighting? I love to compete, and the high you get after a win is indescribable. I wrestled in college and boxed growing up so it was just the next step.
 
What ranks and titles have you held? Former WEC Lightweight Champion. I was an NJCAA All-American national runner-up, and wrestled D1 in Pennsylvania. I was also a NCBA national champ in boxing.
 
Do you have any heroes? My family, training partners and my coaches
 
What is your favorite technique? Sleeping people, whether by submission or by KO.
 
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I went to Lock Haven University of PA. I studied Accounting.
 
What was your job before you started fighting? Project manager for a construction company.

•    Pro since 2003

•    3-1 since last WEC bout. Coming off 40 second win over UFC vet Drew Fickett in February

•    11 wins by submission, six by KO

•    Won two WEC Fight of the Night awards for two fight series (1-1) with Donald Cerrone
