Biography

TRAINING: A typical day consists of a lot of takedowns and finishing from the top. I do a lot of conditioning and strength training. I've been working on my hands a lot and I'm continuing to develop as a fighter. I'm working on my holes, and it’s not just for this fight, but for my career.

When and why did you start training for fighting? I started about two years ago, after I was done wrestling in college. I started because I felt I wasn’t done competing yet. I still had the drive and love of competition in me and I needed to find an outlet.

What ranks and titles have you held? I have been ranked in the world before, but nothing of any significance

Do you have any heroes? Anyone who does what they love with passion and full heartily. If I meet some Joe Schmoe and they go after their dreams with everything inside of them, that is my hero.

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means I'm one step closer to my ultimate goal. All the hard work and sacrifice has paid off and I get to pursue my dreams.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Utah Valley University in Orem, UT. Earned my degree in business marketing.
