Q&A

 

When and why did you start training for fighting? I always thought I was a fighter, but it wasn't until I started training that I realized I didn't know anything. I began doing BJJ when The LAB first opened in 2007 to lose weight and get in shape because I thought it was something like wrestling, and it is in its own way.
What ranks and titles have you held? 2005 runner up for state wrestling tournament in Arizona
Do you have any heroes? My mom, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Steve Prefontaine, and my old wrestling coach Steve Linscum
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means I finally made it to the NFL, the NBA, the MLB. I made it to the big leagues. 
What was your job before you started fighting? There was a handful
Favorite grappling technique: Armbar
Favorite Striking technique: Jab
