What has been your toughest fight to date and why? The hardest was my fight with Renan Ferreira. He was much taller than me and long armed, he defended himself well from wrestling, hit hard, and gave very good opposition.
Who is your favorite fighter and why? My favorite fighter is Jon Jones. I like him because he is a versatile fighter. I consider him number 1, regardless of weight and time.
