When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training when I was 16 at my local jiu-jitsu gym. I just started because my friends trained there.
What professional titles have you held? Olympus Fighting Championship
Any accomplishments in amateur combat sports? Caged steel amateur belt, Almighty fighting championship amateur belt
Any belts/ ranks in grappling disciplines? Brown belt BJJ
What has been your toughest fight to date and why? My fight against Eduardo Neves on the Contender Series. A lot of pressure going into the fight, knowing you’re one good fight away from winning yourself a UFC contract.
Who is your favorite fighter and why? When I first started watching MMA, I loved to watch Cain Velasquez. But now I think Max Holloway is awesome. His attitude for fighting and his style is amazing.
What was your job before you started fighting? Security
Personal Life/Background: Nothing interesting. Only other real hobby outside of MMA is probably football. I’ve supported Sunderland AFC all my life. I don’t go as much as I used to, but I still watch them whenever I have the time.
