What has been your toughest fight to date and why? Michal Oleksiejczuk. He was a durable guy who was always in the fight and kept moving forward.
Who is your favorite fighter and why? My favorite fighter is Alex Periera. He transitioned from a completely different sport at an older age and still proceeded to become a 2 division UFC champion. His story is also inspirational, as he came from nothing.
What was your job before you started fighting? Personal training, mobile phone exchange shop
Personal Life/Background: I was born in Lithuania, moved to the UK when I was 3 and spent 2 years in high school in Louisiana.
