Episode eight (9/13/22) Peek stopped Malik Lewis via strikes at 2:37 of the second round
When and why did you start training for fighting? I fought for the first time in an unsanctioned event when I was 15 years old. I competed in three more MMA fights without ever training. I started getting my life together at the end of 2017. I started beating on a punching bag at my grandfather's house. I got with a couple of friends in 2018 and we began training at a karate dojo by ourselves. I finally met my first striking coach, Jeff Powell, in June of 2018 at Haskew Jiu Jitsu in Kimble, TN, and I haven't lost a fight since we met. I started fighting because I loved it. I street fought so much as a teenager, and I knew I was good at it. It also helped save my life and kept me out of trouble. I started it to make a difference.
What ranks and titles have you held? #1 in Alabama as an amateur, I've been ranked #1 at 155, 170 and 185 in Alabama & Tennessee. Current #1 p4p in Alabama & Tennessee, two 170-lb amateur titles, 170-lb pro title (defended once), BMF title, Amp'd champ belt
Do you have any heroes? My grandpa (Bruce Roden), my dad (Jimmy Peek Jr.), and Christopher Barnes
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means more than I could put into words. I've struggled most of my life. I grew up poor. I put myself through a whole lot in life with addiction and bad decisions. Not many people where I'm from make it to a platform like this. I just want to give people back home, and others in the world that are struggling, hope for a better life. I want to use the spotlight to make a difference. This is my pathway to a better life for myself and for my family.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Two semesters for welding
What was your job before you started fighting? Carpenter
Specific accomplishments in amateur competition? Amateur MMA (three Fight of the Nights, one Knockout of the Night, two 170-lb titles)
Favorite grappling technique: Slamming or controlling from top
Favorite Striking technique: My right hand or a jumping teep
