Biography

Training: I have done half of my camp at Jackson's in NM and the other half at Premier Combat Center my gym in NE. In New Mexico I train with all the guys on team and Greg and Wink are the trainers. Diego Baca does Parisi Speed School for Strength and Conditioning in NM. In Nebraska I work my team back home and the coaches are Kurt Podany Stand up, Zac Dominguez wrestling, Marcelo "Royller" Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu, and Riley Ross for Strength and Conditioning.

When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training in 1993 under Steve Jennum, the UFC 3 champ, and I have been hooked ever since. I train because I like the competition.

Do you have any heroes? Guys I look up to in fighting are Spencer Fisher, BJ Penn, Matt Lindland, and Anderson Silva

What is your favorite technique? I get a lot of people in triangle chokes, but I like to keep it standing.

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It is like going from the minors to the majors. It is all up to me now that I got here to perform well. It is one thing to get to the UFC and it’s a whole other thing to stay and make a name. I have what it takes and I’m ready to show it to the world.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I have finished my main classes for a Bachelor’s in Business Management and have two prerequisites to finish and graduate. Fighting comes first.
