When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training kickboxing as a young child because my dad took me with him as he went, and I always wanted to get involved. Same thing when I started BJJ / MMA, and then I was 13 when my dad started an MMA show. I begged to fight for a long time and eventually a few years later he allowed me to start and I have never stopped.

Training: I do two to three sessions a day, consisting of two striking sessions, two BJJ sessions, two wrestling sessions, four pad sessions, two sparring sessions and three strength and conditioning sessions per week

What ranks and titles have you held? I have a brown belt in jiu-jitsu, and I was a 2x strawweight champion regionally in Australia. 

Do you have any heroes? I wouldn’t say I have any heroes in terms of MMA; I mainly was inspired to start because of my dad, and my cousin who was a fighter.

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It is a lifelong dream that I have had since I was very young. This feels super exciting and very surreal but I can’t wait to showcase what I can do on the biggest stage in the sport.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? No, I didn’t - I started fighting before even finishing high school and decided not to pursue a Plan B, so I put my all into fighting. 

What was your job before you started fighting? I was a barista. 

Specific accomplishments in amateur competition? 5-2 amateur, losing my first two and winning 5 in a row - all by finish – afterward. 

Favorite grappling technique: Joint locks
