Biography

TRAINING: I am training twice per day during the week. For my cardio and conditioning I'm doing a lot of functional exercises and sports agility training. I’m also having a lot of striking practice and a lot of groundwork, with more attention to wrestling, which I'm picking up on very fast.

Thoughts on opponent, Frank Mir? I think Frank Mir's jiu-jitsu is very impressive, and he's a dangerous guy. He seems to be pretty confident on his feet striking as well. For sure we're going to put on a great show for the fans.
