Biography

TRAINING: I train three times a day. Striking in the morning, grappling in the evening and strength and conditioning at night.

Thoughts on opponent, Stefan Struve? Struve is a great fighter. He’s a skilled guy but I am not worried about his size because he doesn’t use his height. He always gets the crap beat out of him and then he won’t quit and he wins. I am a fan of his. The only way to beat him is to put him out cold. That’s what I have to do and I am ready to jump on a plane and do that.

When and why did you start training for fighting? As a challenge, I started fighting in Toughman, then transitioned into MMA.

What ranks and titles have you held? War Gods Heavyweight Champion

Do you have any heroes? My dad, Edward Morris

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Went to a JC. No degree

What was your job before you started fighting? Home Depot, Budweiser

Favorite Striking technique: Right hand

•   Pro since 2004

•   16 wins by KO, one by submission – has finished all wins. Has never gone the distance as a pro.

•   Has won nine of his last eleven

•   Won KO of the Night honors for win over Beltran

•   Strikeforce (3-2) and WEC (4-2) veteran

•   Survived random 2009 shooting that sidelined him for 10 months
