TRAINING: I’m just trying to get better in general but I am working on more on wrestling, counter wrestling and my Thai clinch right now.

Do you have any heroes? Heroes? Not really. I admire guys like Randy and Chuck for their work ethic and the way they balance their lives and training.

What is your favorite technique? That's tough. I’m up for anything that will work.

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means I get to do what I love most in life for a job.
