When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training in 2014 when I was 14 years old for self-defense and to gain wrestling skills to add to my rugby league skills.

What has been your toughest fight to date and why? My loss against Motta was tough, but I had some great lessons and upgrades come from it. Now I feel like I’m ready to take on the top end of lightweight in the next year or so.

Who is your favorite fighter and why? Cory Sandhagen is my favorite fighter because we have a lot of similarities, and he is a savage.
