When and why did you start training for fighting? My older brother Ben was fighting kickboxing when I was a kid. He took me to the gym after I watched a UFC event and told him I wanted to learn.
Training: Wake up, run 7-10km, grappling training at 10, home for lunch, drive to striking gym, Muay Thai training at 3, then a couple times a week strength and conditioning training.
What ranks and titles have you held? Eternal featherweight champion, and Rogue featherweight champion
Do you have any heroes? My Dad, my brothers, and DC
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It’s all I’ve wanted to do since I was 13; it means a great deal to me.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I did 80% of a commerce degree at Swinburne University, so no.
What was your job before you started fighting? I worked in a pub at night so I could train during the day.
Favorite grappling technique: Rear naked choke
