When and why did you start training for fighting? When I was 15, me and my buddies used to get bored and beat each other up at home. My dad told us we needed to go to the gym because one of us was going to get hurt, so my cousin found a gym and the rest is history.

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It would be a dream come true, considering I have been training for this moment since I was 15.
