When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training wushu sanda when I was 16 years old. When I was 20, I switched to MMA and started training at Gorets Fight Club.

Any accomplishments in amateur combat sports? 4-time European champion in MMA, 3-time world champion in MMA, European and world champion in Wushu Sanda. Honored master of sports in MMA, NAGA champion

What has been your toughest fight to date and why? The hardest was my fight with Renan Ferreira. He was much taller than me and long armed, he defended himself well from wrestling, hit hard, and gave very good opposition.

Who is your favorite fighter and why? My favorite fighter is Jon Jones. I like him because he is a versatile fighter. I consider him number 1, regardless of weight and time.

Personal Life / Background: Married, and have three kids. Since I am training a lot, in my free time I try to spend time with family and friends, and learn something new that can help me grow mentally and/or financially.
