When and why did you start training for fighting? I was always interested in MMA and wanted to train because I was such a big fan of PRIDE. But there were no places for me to train at that time. In 2008, when a Jiu-Jitsu academy opened up in my neighborhood I started training there immediately.
Training: MMA, weightlifting, boxing, conditioning - coming into this fight, I have been doing everything possible to be in the best shape of my life.
Do you have any heroes? Chang Seob Lee
