When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training in 2010 after getting in a pretty bad street fight. I fell in love with all the different aspects of MMA.
Training: Depending on what day it is, I usually lift or do some type of conditioning at 5 or 6am. I come to the gym later and do Muay Thai mitt work or boxing mitts. I train other people during the day and at night I always do at least 2-3 classes, usually jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai. Sometimes wrestling and sparring. I’m usually at the gym 2-4 times a day and at my other gym 3-5 times a week.
What ranks and titles have you held? Currently #1 ranked featherweight in Florida and NY. Two amateur titles, two pro titles - Strike Off featherweight title, King of the Cage lightweight title
Do you have any heroes? No, but I have been listening to a lot of David Goggins and that dude is the man. My dad is pretty cool, too.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means a 10-year goal is achieved and the start of my biggest goal of being a world champion. It means a lot of hard work and time put in has finally paid off.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Yes, I went to Niagara County Community College and got my associates degree in Business.
What was your job before you started fighting? A bunch of different jobs - a lot of serving jobs in restaurants, which I hated.
Specific accomplishments in amateur competition? Two titles, 9-2 record, 1-0 in amateur Muay Thai
Specific accomplishments in pro competition? 1-0 pro boxing record, nine main events in MMA
Ranks in any martial arts styles: Black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Favorite grappling technique: Triangle choke
Favorite striking technique: Overhand right
