TRAINING: Typically I wake up about 8 am and eat a small breakfast then head to my first training session. Then midday I return to do mitt work. After that we have an evening training session which consists of different drills and grappling techniques. Then its ice tub time!

Do you have any heroes? One of my all-time favorite fighters is Fedor Emelianenko. He’s a mean, gritty fighter

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? I’m totally excited about it. It’s a thrill, and when you get into this sport, this is the tier everyone’s trying to get to. It’s a great honor and I’m excited to be a part of it.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? LSU. Graduated with a Kinesiology – human movement degree and a chemistry degree.
