When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training and fighting back in 2020 during Covid. My initial plan was to go play football at a JUCO in California to get more looks, but once Covid hit my pops, I started training. I took two amateur fights that lasted a combined 22 seconds and the rest is history.
Any accomplishments in amateur combat sports? 5-0 with two belts
Any belts/ ranks in grappling disciplines? 4-stripe purple belt in BJJ
What has been your toughest fight to date and why? My toughest fight was Reyes Cortez and the reasoning is because I don’t think I was as ready as I thought I was to fight him since I was only 2-0 at the time, but it was what I needed to allow myself to grow.
Who is your favorite fighter and why? My favorite fighter is Anderson Silva because seeing him fight at his prime it was almost like he was untouchable. A true pioneer of this sport.
What was your job before you started fighting? Working at car dealership
