Q & A

Q: When and why did you start training for fighting?

ANSWER: I started fighting 10 years ago. On a normal day of training, I stayed with my coach, talking, and he asked me if I liked this sport and I told him, of course, I love this sport; I feel like I found what I was looking for. At that time, I was working in a company where I was doing well with the money. He was an amateur fighter and he said leave everything you have and turn to this. You will be able to live on what you love and you will have enough money for you to be calm with a family. I looked at it so seriously that I did not hesitate a second and I left everything.
