TRAINING: Wake up and go for a run, eat a small breakfast, and get a lift to the gym. Each day is different. Some mornings it’s wrestling, others are BJJ and Striking, but I’ve been training hard in each session and I’m feeling like a new, improved fighter, having spent this camp in Canada and Miami.

Do you have any heroes? No one in particular, just anyone who has the passion to make it at what they do.

What was your job before you started fighting? Plasterer
