What ranks and titles have you held? WEC North American title.

Do you have any heroes? I like Fedor a lot.

What is your favorite technique? Submissions.

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means a lot. That all my hard work has paid off. It's the chance to display my skills.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Northern Illinois (BA in psychology). I finished up my Masters degree at Concordia University and I'm currently attending Adler School of Professional Psychology, working towards my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology.
