What Team I Want To Be On:

Both of them are amazing coaches, but my heart is completely for Team Cormier. Hopefully I can be apart of that team.

Biggest Inspriation:

It is very hard to just pick one and I don’t think it is fair with a lot of amazing fighters. Right now, I think Alex “Poatan” Pereira is one of the guys I want to be like.

What Is Your Dream Matchup:

I want to be the champion of the world and show the world I am the best right now. I also want to just beat Belal.

How would you describe your fighting style:

I am a very aggressive fighter. I come from Ju Jitsu, but I love striking as well, so I feel very comfortable on the feet. I will do my best and for sure will win the house.
