What has been your toughest fight to date and why? I have had many extremely tough fights in my career for various reasons. The toughest opponent I have faced was Islam Makhachev, who is the current champion and #1 P4P.

Who is your favorite fighter and why? I was a huge fan of Mirko Cro Cop. I followed his career from K-1 to PRIDE to UFC. Left-handed, ferocious striker with a left high kick that would send you to the hospital.
