What ranks and titles have you held? Tachi Palace 125-pound title 

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It would mean the world to me. I would be proving everybody that doubted me wrong and I'll be able to show everyone that I'm the best in the world.

What was your job before you started fighting? My job before fighting was working in the fields, being a waiter at a restaurant, and working at a freight company.
