1. When and Why did you get into MMA??
I didn't start training till later in my 20's, my best friend Tony Leite was tearing up the lightweight scene at the time he held the reality fighting belt for about two years. I used to get so pumped watching him fight, so he asked me to come and try out some training. I thought sure I'll come roll around, at the time I was about 220 and kinda strong from lifting at the gym, so I thought I'll just crush all those wimpy jiu jitsu guys. I come in and start rolling with my buddy Tony(155lbs) and long story short I was instantly humbled and addicted.
I do not have a background in martial arts but have always loved competing at anything I do.
3. What's your nickname, how did you get it?
I do not have a nickname because I have not been given one and I believe they should be given not made up by oneself.

Well not really but there was a team asking about me for an ammy fight but I'm turning pro after this fight so if this guy wants to make a debut with me then I'd definitely be interested.
