Q: What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC?

ANSWER: A first fight in the UFC is a snapshot of the dream I’ve been chasing for seven years now.

Signing with the UFC is the premier goal for a martial artist and fighter. To me, it is both validation for the efforts put forth so far in the journey, and an immense opportunity to do so much more for my future, my family, and my community.
