When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training in fighting about 10 years ago, and the goal was to come and compete here in the US, in front of the entire world, and make my country proud.
Any accomplishments in amateur combat sports? I competed at regional levels, winning many tournaments
What has been your toughest fight to date and why? My toughest opponent was my last one. I fought in the LFA 170 main event in Vail, Colorado against Harris Talunzič. Fighting at such a high elevation, against one of the top guys in my division, was the hardest fight I ever had.
What was your job before you started fighting? Before fighting, I was working in a slaughterhouse in Italy
Personal Life / Background: In my free time, I like to spend as much time as possible in nature, fishing and hunting if I have the chance.
