Q & A

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

Q: Any accomplishments in amateur combat sports?

ANSWER: I won the amateur Middleweight and Light Heavyweight titles while going 5-0 as an amateur in MMA. I’m a two-time Georgia Wrestling State Champion, going undefeated as a senior with a 40-0 record. Placed Top 10 in the national tournament in high school for wrestling. Wrestled one year in college at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

Q: Any belts/ranks in grappling disciplines?

ANSWER: I’m a purple belt in BJJ

Q: Toughest fight to date and why?

ANSWER: My toughest fight to date was Caleb Crump. He was my 5th professional fight, and I learned a lot about what I needed to continue to work on and holes I can fix in my game from that fight. I know most would think it would be last year’s Contender fight, but facing adversity is something I have done my entire life. Adversity isn’t deemed tough for me because I have had to face it every day of my life.

Q: Favorite fighter and why?

ANSWER: I have a few based on their styles. It’s hard to pick just one, but I’ll go with Khabib, DC, and Khazmat. Those are my favorites to watch for many reasons and that’s mostly because their styles are similar to my style.
