When and why did you start training for fighting? I started at five years old in BJJ because my dad and my brother were involved in the sport. At 17 I did my first MMA fight in my hometown of Amazonas. Since then, I haven’t stopped, and that’s why I’m here now.
What professional titles have you had? Champion of 3 regional promotions in Mexico: JFL MMA, XFL MMA, Lux Fight League.
Any achievements in amateur combat sports? Jiu Jitsu Worlds runner-up
Do you have any belts/ranks in any fighting disciplines? 2nd-degree Jiu-Jitsu black belt
What has been your most difficult fight to date and why? My most difficult fight to date has been the fight with Dan Ige, because it was a surprise fight where we basically had to fight on instinct, without a complete game plan. Not the fight itself, but having the confidence in myself that I was capable of winning.
Who is your favorite fighter and why? Cowboy Cerrone; he’s a person that I admire for his courage to accept fights in any circumstance and for having had the opportunity to train with him long before I was in the UFC.
What was your job before you started fighting? I used to teach at my dad’s gym, it was for love, not a job at all. And I still teach Jiu-Jitsu and MMA in my gym in Mexico
Personal life/background: I like playing video games, teaching jiu jitsu classes.
