Fighters Biography
Fight preparation?
Twice a day. Morning is a strength session. Monday and Wednesday are cardio days, Thursday is boxing, Tuesday and Saturday are grappling days.
When and why did you start MMA?
Roughly 2008. I came from a boxing family and I watched my brothers start out in boxing and move into MMA. Seeing the sport grow was great and I decided I wanted to try it.
What ranks and titles have you held?
Boxing – I took an SA title as a junior.
What do you enjoy about MMA?
The adrenaline, the hype and the crowd.
What do you consider your strengths to be?
Stand-up skills and my natural physical strength.
What do you do when not competing or training?
I work as an electrician. When I’m not preparing for a fight I just like to relax.
