When and why did you start training for fighting? I trained at the Olympic Training Center and saw a lot of fighters come through there, Randy, Matt, Dan, Mike V, after the 2000 Olympic year. I took a couple of years off from training or doing anything. I started to watch the MMA shows, saw Randy beating up everyone. I was like “hey I can do that”. So, I started training.
