Biography
Training: I train about 2-3 times a day. Grappling or striking in the morning, MMA training at night, strength and conditioning at the end of the day.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I was put into TKD after being bullied in middle school and when I turned 18 I wanted to become competitive with martial arts so MMA just became a natural progression.
What ranks and titles have you held? Nitro Bantamweight Champion, K-Oz Bantamweight Champion, No. 1 Bantamweight in Australia
Do you have any heroes? Bruce Lee
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It is a huge accomplishment to be fighting on the main stage of MMA. It took me eight years to get here and there's no looking back.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I started college to become an engineer but then realized it wasn't for me, so I quit to chase the dream of being a fighter.
What was your job before you started fighting? I was a computer tech for Geek Squad
Ranks in any martial arts styles: Black belt in TKD, Purple belt in BJJ, Green belt in Jud
