“I love fighting. I was born for it. I love being in the cage. When you go in the cage, people think that you go in there to beat people up. That’s not what I go in there for. I go in there to test myself, to me it’s a spiritual experience. I want to know about myself and I feel like the cage is the one place in the universe that you can’t lie to yourself.”

Culinary Arts Instructor at a community college. I stopped teaching so that I could concentrate on training.

Gastronomy, traveling and learning new things.

I’m thrilled. It is the most exciting thing I have ever been part of.

WHEN FIGHT FANS HEAR YOUR NAME, WHAT DO YOU WANT THEM TO THINK AND REMEMBER?
That they can be whoever they want and that their dream, whatever that maybe be, that it is possible.
