1.) What advice do you have for an aspiring MMA Fighter?

Hard work and dedication.

Improving as an individual, and also spiritually.

I train all year, so I spend time with the family, and keep trying to getting better.

Training, sleeping, eating, training, sleeping!

6.) Who were your heroes growing up?

Growing up, my heroes were my mentors. So my coaches  and people who have touched me.
