Fighters Biography
What do you do for fight preparation?
I train many martial arts, boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, jujitsu, wrestling and then I train strength and conditioning.
How did you get your fight name?
“Troublemaker” was given to me by my high school principal. I was in his office a lot and was even expelled from school. “Troublemaker” was everything that made me bad and I wanted to turn it around to mean something more positive. “Troublemaker” is to believe that you are worthy, the world is for me and not against me. To defy reality and make dreams come true. “Troublemaker” means to not conform and be so uniquely myself that I have to succeed.
When and why did you start MMA training?
I started in 2011 after getting into a backyard brawl. I loved it. I knew then, how much I loved the competition. Shortly after I watched the UFC, I decided at the age of 16, that I would be a professional MMA fighter.
How did you transition into MMA?
I started out boxing and then moved to kickboxing. My goal was always MMA but I wanted to be able to knock people out so I competed in kickboxing. I was a 3 belt champion, 2 pro titles and 1 amateur title. I moved to MMA and I haven’t looked back since.
