Fighters Biography
What do you do for fight preparation?
I train from Monday to Saturday. Mainly I like to work on my stand up as Muay Thai is my background. I work my wrestling on Mondays and Wednesday. For fights I get special help from Fight Fit Militia.
When and why did you start martial arts training?
I started Karate when I was 14, following my big brothers footsteps. Then I watched UFC 1, saw Royce Gracie and thought to myself that I want to be like him; small but beating big people! As time passed by I did some traditional jiu-jitsu. At school myself and Demarte Pena created our own MMA tournament. He helped me with the Muay Thai until I got to varsity when I started training at the Undisputed Fight Club.
What ranks and titles have you held?
I am the Mpumalanga lightweight champion.
Added Detail
- Hails from Angola, school friend of Demarte Pena
- Has been competing as an MMA pro since 2013
- Was a successful as an Amateur
- Majority of his bouts have ended in Round 1
