Fighters Biography
Fight preparation?
I train BJJ and all round MMA with Rodney King and Nuno De Gouveia at Crazy Monkey Defense. It involves a lot of sparring, pad work, rolling and mental game training. I also train at Fight Fit Militia with Richard Quan and the FFM fight team. I hit pads, spar, roll, do roadwork, crossfit and a load of other stuff.
When and why did you start training for fighting?
I started in 2004 and jumped head first into MMA. I started for myself and instantly loved it!
What ranks and titles have you held?
GI and No-GI submission champion. Fought some of the best.
Favourite technique:
Ground and pound.
