TRAINING: Vicious brutal training. My main training partner is Jason "The Athlete" MacDonald and some top level pro boxers and National level wrestlers and some really good Jiu-Jitsu guys. You mix that around and throw in the madness of my trainer Mark Pavelich and 9 out of 10 people are getting their feelings hurt.

When and why did you start training for fighting? I watched the early UFCs and I was never really into team sports, so this was perfect.

What ranks and titles have you held? MFC Maximum Fighting LHW Champ

Do you have any heroes? Arnold and Randy Couture

What is your favorite technique? You will see on December 13

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? No
