Why I Will Be The Ultimate Fighter:

What Team I Want To Be On:

I know the coaches, I have followed their careers, and I actually don’t have a preference. I think both of them would be great for me to be on their team.

Biggest Inspriation:

My biggest inspiration is Alex “Poatan” Pereira.

What Is Your Dream Matchup:

My dream fight would be with Khabib Nurmagomedov.

How would you describe your fighting style:

I always look to finish a fight, but I don’t have many finishes as of my record. I have one submission, and the rest are knockouts so I am a striker, I look for the knockout.
