What is your favorite technique?
Whatever technique I win with.

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means the world to a fighter. This is by far the pinnacle of the sport, and an opportunity to perform on its biggest stage, so it’s awesome. It’s a lifetime achievement to come and not only fight in the UFC, but to compete in the UFC.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 2003 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics.
