Since my first fight with LFA, I have been working on my stand up and becoming the well-rounded fighter I know I am. I feel that helps me a lot going into this fight and my mindset is good, we are getting to do what we love during this crazy time, I couldn’t be happier. Jimmy Flick- Well with my first main event being against a guy like Johnny Bedford with almost 40 pro fights and being a huge underdog.

What ranks and titles have you held? I’m a brown belt in BJJ and have held the IXFA 125 Title, XFN 135 Title, Freestyle Cage Fighting 125 Title and the LFA 125 Title When and why did you start training for fighting?

I then go to work until 3:30 then run before sprints or do a mitt session followed by a technical bag class, BJJ or sparring, depending on what day it is. TRAINING: I get up at 5am to head to CrossFit, which I do three times a week.
