When and why did you start training for fighting? Started 14 years ago.  I was bored and needed an outlet.  I always loved to fight. I grew up on Streetfighter, Tekken, and Dragon Ball Z.  These inspired me.



What titles have you held? Rocktagon WW Champion; CES WW Champion; Fight Night WW Champion; Premier MMA Championship WW Champion

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It would be the first real step in realizing my dream.  I want to be remembered forever. The UFC is where I can make that happen.



Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I went to the University of Cincinnati for contractual law.  I decided to pursue fighting full-time instead.  



What was your job before you started fighting? I worked for a video game store.  Adulting is not my strong suit.
