Q&A
When and why did you start training for fighting? I was a freestyle wrestler for Great Britain and one of my friends used to coach wrestling at Team Kaobon. He asked me to come and train there to help Terry Etim with his wrestling. Terry was on his second fight in the UFC at this point. When I went I could see straight away how Colin was with the team; he was very strict and got the most out of the lads training and it got me hooked straight away. I tried jiu-jitsu and Thai boxing and Colin said, “Why don’t you try MMA,” but my dream was to go to the London Olympics in 2012. Eventually, I turned my hand to MMA and here I am.
What ranks and titles have you held? ASPERA Brazil featherweight champion
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It’s a dream I have been working towards since I started MMA. It means everything right now.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I went to college at 16 to do a bricklaying course that I didn’t finish. I just always wanted to be a full-time athlete.
What was your job before you started fighting? I was on the world-class program for the U.K. wrestling team leading up to the London Olympics in 2012, but I always helped my dad doing ground work to get the extra money.
