When and why did you start training for fighting? I started when I was 17 years of age and I had my first fight at 17. I always loved fighting, so I thought I’d start it professionally instead of getting into trouble fighting elsewhere.

What ranks and titles have you held? Gladiators belt as well as the AFC heavyweight belt.

Do you have any heroes? I wouldn’t say heroes, but for sure there are people that inspire me.

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means a lot to myself, my family and my area - three big things that mean a lot to me. It is giving me a massive platform to build a good future for me and my own little family.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Hahahahaha, I got kicked out of school for sleeping in class. No good.

What was your job before you started fighting? I worked as a social worker. I work with elderly and disabled indigenous people. I don’t really consider it a job, more something I enjoy.

Specific accomplishments in amateur competition? Had one amateur fight then went pro.
