Do you have any heroes? Not really
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means a lot to me. I have been watching the UFC since I was young and always felt I would be there one day.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I dropped out to go travel and train MMA and grappling.
