Q & A
Q: When and why did you start training for fighting?
ANSWER:
I started when I was 10 as a hobby; I just wanted to learn how to defend myself. My first time on the mats, I was super excited to learn, but I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I fell in love with the sport and have been training since.
Q: Training:
ANSWER:
I start with a morning run, then train BJJ & boxing, then take a break and train at noon MMA/ Muay Thai/ Wrestling(varies daily). Also, depending on certain days, I add Crossfit, conditioning and weight training and usually always finish my days with BJJ and another run as the fight gets closer.What ranks and titles have you held?Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 3rd degree black belt,STFC lightweight champion, Legacy FC lightweight championDo you have any heroes?Ronaldo “Jacare” SouzaWhat does it mean for you to fight in the UFC?For me, it’s a dream come true to fight for one of the biggest MMA events in the world. I know everyone wants to be here and trains for this, and just like I trained hard to get here, I will keep training hard and do whatever it takes to stay and make my way to the top.Favorite grappling technique:KimuraFavorite striking technique:Jab, cross, and hook
