Any belts/ ranks in grappling disciplines? BJJ purple belt

What has been your toughest fight to date and why? Caleb Lally. NZ MMA veteran in my 2nd fight. Hit him with everything and the kitchen sink and he was still unfazed. He dipped into one of my knees and the look on his face did not change. Torrid, high paced fight. 

What fight do you consider to be the key fight in your career and why? RTU S4 opening round vs Zhang Qinghe. Mixed the martial arts, showed my inner dog and pulled the win out of my arse

Who is your favorite fighter and why? Can't say I have a singular favourite. 

  • Alexander Volkanovski - work ethic, game planning, great human

Origin of nickname: The romanization for the Cantonese pronunciation of my Chinese name 

Personal Life / Background: Born in Hong Kong. Mum, dad and brother moved to Auckland, NZ in 1999. Grew up in the mean streets of East Auckland

Who are 3 people you'd love to meet or work with? Gordon Ramsay, Demetrious Johnson, Natalie Portman

What are your hobbies, activities or other interests when not training for a fight? Mainly training for the sake of training. At the gym all year round to chase perfection of skill.  Cooking, hiking, cycling, gaming
