Origin of nickname: “‘Quake’ was adopted by me from the constant earthquakes in my hometown of Christchurch. I feel it’s my name by right, having been through the sufferings with my people, having to have our homes destroyed and people dying and then having to constantly keep rebuilding the city. I feel I owe it to my city to rep them on the world stage and demonstrate their strength through me as they have shown through their strength by continuing to stay in Christchurch and call it home even after so many left. I also tend to knock my opponents out in MMA when I touch them, so this also relates nicely - getting hit by a human earthquake.”
