When and why did you start training martial arts?

I began in 2012.

How did you transition to MMA?

I began strictly with MMA.

What achievements, ranks and titles have you held?

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Purple Belt

How did you get your fight name?

My teammate gave it to me. I am very proud of this nick name.

What is your favourite technique, and why?

I can do everything, strike, throwing or submitting… but, my signature is the triangle choke. I feel really comfortable with that.

Who is your hero, and why?

I don’t have a hero; I have a goal.

What other interesting information can you tell us about yourself?

I like to build old motorcycles and play with my kid and care about my wife.

What does it mean for you to fight in the EFC?

It’s a dream for me, because EFC is one the top organisations in the world. My team mate Cyril Asker did great in EFC. Since that, my goal was to fight in the Hexagon. I it’s a good way for me to prove to the world what I am capable of.
