Fighter Biography

Training: For this camp I changed everything; I’m now working with a strength and conditioning coach in addition to my normal training.

When and why did you start training for fighting?  In high school because I had an attitude and a cowboy hat. After that I messed around with some amateur kickboxing and did pretty well. Then I went pro in the Ring of Fire show and moved on to MMA. It has just been a progression.

What ranks and titles have you held?  I am S-1 Muay Thai United States Champion

Do you have any heroes?  I look up to Duane BANG Ludwig a lot

What is your favorite technique?  Straight right down the pipe.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? School of hard knocks, degree in attitude adjusting.

What was your job before you started fighting?  I was a bull rider.

Most memorable professional fight? Razor Rob, WEC, we threw down for 3 rounds. My first time going the distance, it was nice to have a guy stand and trade instead of running.

Who were your training partners for this fight? My boy Leonard Garcia as always. I also brought in an Olympian and a few NCAA Champs to help with my wrestling. We also have guys like Melvin Guillard, Joe Stevenson, Cub Swanson, Clay Guida, etc, who have all been in town training for fights. It’s been a great camp and I’m prepared for a battle.

What is your motivation? My motivation is to get that WEC Lightweight Belt and it’s a chance to avenge a loss at the same time!!

How long do you see yourself staying in this sport? Not sure, I’m only 26, I’m gonna be around for a while!!
