When and why did you start training for fighting? I've been training since 2009, but professionally for seven years. I started training because I really loved fighting in the streets.

Training: I get up at 7:00 am and have breakfast. Around 10:00 am is wrestling training. Half day break for lunch and at 7:00 pm specific training for fighting and physical preparation
