Do you have any heroes? Tyrone Spong
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? UFC is the best of the best, so it means a lot to me. It is an honor to be able to fight for UFC and I would like to prove that I belong here.
What was your job before you started fighting? I used to be a welder and I worked as a security guard.
Favorite Striking technique: Left hook, straight right.
