TRAINING: I train 6 days a week when training for a fight. Most days, I spend my mornings working on strength and conditioning with Martin Rooney. In the afternoon or evening, I head over to AMA, where my workouts vary between Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, as well as MMA practices, where we combine all aspects of the sport.

When and why did you start training for fighting? I started fighting five years ago. I began training because I missed the competition.
