What has been your toughest fight to date and why? Collin Huckbody, I fought him on the main event of Ignite last May. Physically the fight was easy, but mentally it was tough; he was 12-4 with a finish win on DWCS. I was 3-1 coming off a loss to a tough guy up in Canada. We were fighting on his home turf and the whole night was kind of a tribute to a teammate of his, Shaylee Lipp, who had passed away. Tensions were high and I knew he was motivated to win. But I ended up dominating him the whole fight and choked him out shortly before the end of round three. 

Who is your favorite fighter and why? Derrick Lewis, love watching him fight, like his style, love hearing him even more on the microphone.

Personal Life / Background: I grew up rural. I work a construction day job. I'm in the laborers union, pouring concrete from sunup to sundown.  I have a girlfriend of 12 years, Davita. We have three kids together, my oldest is my daughter, Raven Jane she is 6 and we share a birthday. Phoenix Rose is my middle child. She is 3. Lastly is my son Titan James, he's a year and half old. We have a small house out in the country, and enjoy gardening, hiking, longboard rides, river walks, shooting guns ... you know, s**t you do in the country. I'm a blue collar country boy, I want to put on for the people in this world who get  their hands dirty. 

I joined high school wresting my junior year and made the state finals my senior year. I owe the sport of wrestling, as well as my team and high school wrestling coach John Hatfield for unlocking a  hard work ethic and tenacious drive to be successful at everything I do.

Origin of nickname: “I was born and raised a blue-collar backwoods boy.”
