When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training in MMA in Vladikavkaz. Before that, I thought I could beat any fighter because I often had to fight on the street and always come out the winner, but one day I decided to try going to MMA and I was immediately subdued, and so I wanted to learn how to defend myself from this, and off it went.

What professional titles have you held? Two-time LFA champion

Any accomplishments in amateur combat sports? Cup of Russia 2017 (MMA)

What has been your toughest fight to date and why? Each next fight is the most difficult for me, and after the fight, everyone participates equally easy.

Who is your favorite fighter and why? Jon Jones

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Yes, I graduated from college with a degree in management.

What was your job before you started fighting? Before I started fighting, I worked different jobs, earned extra money.
