TRAINING: We do strength and conditioning in the morning and then Boxing/Grappling/MMA at night.
Thoughts on opponent, Kenny Florian? I think Kenny is great on the ground and has dangerous kicks and elbows. His cardio is always good and he comes to fight.

When and why did you start training for fighting? I started submission grappling for fun, and it has all snowballed from there. I began helping training partners train for their fights and wanted to give it a try.

Accomplishments in amateur competition? None

Accomplishments in pro competition? A few titles in Combat Zone, World Fighting League and Mass Destruction.

Ranks in any martial arts styles: I'm a "no belt" in Jiu-Jitsu.

Favorite grappling technique: Heel Hook

Favorite Striking technique: Left Hook

Do you have any heroes? My Dad

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It will make explaining the type of fighting I do a lot easier. I no longer have to go into a big explanation of "Have you seen the UFC? I do that, but haven't fought there yet." I can just say, "I fight in the UFC".

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Wentworth in Boston, MA. Just graduated this year with a Bachelor's in Computer Science

What was your job before you started fighting? Just finished College, but I worked in Tech Support while a student.
