Fighters Biography
Fight preparation?
I train every day, Monday to Friday for 2,5 hours in all MMA aspects.
When and why did you start MMA?
I had a friend who was training at CIT who suggested I check it out in 2009. I immediately thought it was flipping awesome! I had my first fight after just one week and won on points. After a year of MMA I took a year off to study and work and then got back into it properly.
What ranks and titles have you held?
None.
What do you enjoy about MMA?
The feeling of winning and I just really love fighting.
What do you consider your strengths to be?
I’m equally strong on the ground and on my feet.
What do you do when not competing or training?
I’m studying to be a millwright. In my free time I like movies, hanging out on the beach and fishing as often as I can. I was into off road enduro racing for many years.
MMA highlights:
Winning my first fight. Also my fight with Francois Groenewald; he was really experienced on the ground but I managed to survive everything he threw at me and win by G’nP.
