Fighter Biography

Thoughts on upcoming opponent, Ricardo Almeida?  I feel like Ricardo Almeida is by far my toughest fight of my career. He presents many challenges throughout all areas of a fight and I need to be well prepared for each one of them. I have watched Almeida since the PRIDE days and I think he is an amazing fighter and a great person. I had the privilege of meeting him at his gym once and sharing the mats with him. With that said, that is one of the challenges that faces me, getting past the respect factor that I have for Almeida. The other challenge is the fact that he is a bad matchup for me. I like to come forward and Almeida likes to bring you forward so he can take you down. So, I need to evolve my game and be the best fighter that I have ever been in the best shape I have ever been to win this fight. These are the two main challenges I face and I must be mentally and physically at one hundred percent to beat these challenges, which is exactly why this is such an intriguing matchup in my mind. 

Training: Eat, train, eat, sleep, train, eat, sleep, train, eat, sleep, train... Rinse and repeat...

When and why did you start training for fighting? 2004, because I love the sport.

What titles have you held? ISCF East Coast Welterweight Champion

Do you have any heroes? I look up to and admire many people including (in random order) Lance Armstrong, Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Roger Federer, Tiger Woods, Peyton Manning, Wanderlei Silva, Chuck Liddell and Floyd Mayweather. They’re the first names that come to mind, but I wouldn't necessarily consider them my heroes.

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means that I have reached a goal that I set for myself, which is a great feeling. It reminds me that you really can do anything that you set your mind to doing. My next goal is to be a champion.

What was your job before you started fighting? Personal trainer

Favorite grappling technique: triangle choke

Favorite Striking technique: flying knee
