Biography
TRAINING: Of course I have to wrestle, kickbox and grapple, but 'typical' as an adjective refers to something 'normal' or 'to be expected'. I believe this is how I trained for much of my career. Unfortunately mixed martial arts is not typical and is, on the contrary, completely unpredictable. Now I try to train with this in mind. I do not plan my schedule and I try to incorporate as many different workouts as I can. I have started cycling a lot. Sprint and track work, Zumba and even a power plate class. I tried to get involved in Camel wrestling in Egypt in December. It’s a remarkable thing watching two camels go at it. It really picks up a pace. True story.
When and why did you start training for fighting? My fight career began at 16 years old, when I realized that by living a few years of my life like most won't, I could live the rest of my life like most can't.

Do you have any heroes? Karen and Michael J Watson
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? Anywhere that I can represent Queen and Country is a great honor.
