Fighters Biography

What do you do for fight preparation?

I do 12 x1 hour sessions a week. Split into 4 x BJJ, 4 x MMA, 2 x weightlifting and 2 x cardio sessions.

When and why did you start martial arts training?

I started in 2010 at Rio Grappling Springs to get fit and start BJJ. I then joined Titan Fight Club and had my first amateur MMA fight – after a year of training I wanted to test myself. I now fight out of World of Warriors.

Tell us about your most memorable fight.

My losses, I make sure I learn from them and come back better.

What is your favourite technique?

Whatever works.
