When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training because I saw Stallone, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jackie Chan movies. I thought it was cool and I wanted to learn to defend myself.

What professional titles have you held? LFA Light Heavyweight Champion and Jungle Fight Welterweight Champion

Any belts/ ranks in grappling disciplines? Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt

Any belts/ ranks in striking disciplines? Muay Thai Black Belt

What fight do you consider to be the key fight of your career? The next fight is always the most important. But the fight I had in Dana White's Contender Series, where I got into the UFC, was a very significant moment and one of the most important in my career.

Who is your favorite fighter and why? Jon Jones. What he did inside the octagon is incredible and unique.

Is there a cause that you want to use your platform for? To encourage people to pursue their goals in life and to show young people and teenagers that it is possible to achieve a dream through hard work.

Beyond a championship or money, what motivates you? The passion for fighting, facing challenges and the opportunity to win. And of course, being able to live off it and support my family doing what I love.

What was your job before you started fighting? I've worked in a motorcycle workshop, I've been a horse farrier and currently I give private Muay Thai lessons
