When and why did you start training for fighting? I just loved the sport and needed to compete after NCAA wrestling. Nothing filled that void until I found MMA.  

What professional titles have you held? Lights Out Middleweight Champion and Light-Heavyweight Champion

Any accomplishments in amateur combat sports? Two-time NCAA Division 2 National Qualifier

Any belts/ranks in grappling disciplines? Purple belt in BJJ

What has been your toughest fight to date and why? I think my toughest fight to date was Michal Oleksiejczuk. He was very skilled, a veteran and I took the fight on 10 days notice. 

Who is your favorite fighter and why? Amanda Bobby Cooper (Brundage), because she’s my wife and she will probably see this, and she still has a mean right hand (laughs).

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I was a triple major in history, English and secondary education. 

What was your job before you started fighting? I was a college wrestling coach at Oliver college in Michigan and then I worked as a union carpenter after that.

Personal Life/Background: I have two daughters, Kingsley and Millie.
