Do you have any heroes? My Dad, my brothers, and DC

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It’s all I’ve wanted to do since I was 13; it means a great deal to me.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I did 80% of a commerce degree at Swinburne University, so no.

What was your job before you started fighting? I worked in a pub at night so I could train during the day.
