Fighter Biography

Thoughts on opponent, Javier Vazquez? Javier Vazquez is a tough opponent. He is good in all aspects of Mixed Martial Arts and excels on the ground. I expect a good hard fight.

Training: A typical day of training is controlled chaos
 
When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training in wrestling at 15. When I was 19 I picked up boxing in the Marine Corps. I then moved on to BJJ and Muay Thai at 23. Then I helped some friends get ready for their MMA fights. I decided to give it a try and I became hooked. I had my first MMA fight when I was 26.
 
What ranks and titles have you held? WKA featherweight National Champion, Cagefest featherweight Champion, Purple belt under Pedro Sauer, LINXX Black Belt Instructor
 
Do you have any heroes? My mother Rose Semerzier
 
What is your favorite technique? RNC
 
What does it mean for you to fight in the WEC? It means everything to me right now. I have dreamed of being in this organization for a long time. I’m here, and now I’m ready to show the world that I belong, and one day become the champion in one of the weight classes
 
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? No
 
What was your job before you started fighting? I am currently employed by Linxx Global Solutions as a Lead Combatives Instructor.
 
Most memorable professional fight (who, where, why)? Ryan Lamareux in Concord, NC. It went past the first round.

Who were your training partners for this fight? I started camp with my LINXX TEAM, then finished up camp at TEAM CURRAN MMA.
 
Did you put more emphasis towards a fighting style or adjust your training to prepare for your opponent (what did you do differently/why)? I trained to force the fight into positions where I feel I can be most effective. And to neutralize all the positions where he can be most effective.
 
What, other than WINNING, are you using for motivation for the fight? I wanna buy a house and have a baby in the next 12 months and that costs money. The more you win the more money you make, so that is really motivating me in my career as a whole.
 
What is your favorite thing about this sport? I love it all. Striking, Clinching, Takedowns and Grappling. Just so many options to win the fight.
 
How long do you see yourself staying in this sport? As long as GOD gives me the strength to compete at a high level.
