When and why did you start training for fighting? I started January 2003. I couldn't play soccer anymore due to too many injuries so I took a grappling class to fall back on my wrestling background to stay active. Went to a fight and was convinced that I could beat the guy fighting in the main event so I took a dare from my best friend to put up or shut up and here I am.
