Biography
TRAINING: Beastin 26/9. All day, every day, plus two extra hours and two extra days.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training on the mean streets of Swansea, Massachusetts during my formative years. After moving to Ft. Myers, FL I began to wrestle while attending Estero High School. I continued wrestling at the University of Central Florida, and took my first BJJ classes at JBA Jiu-Jitsu in Fall River, MA while home visiting family. After getting tapped out by leg-lock master extraordinaire Don Banville, I was hooked (literally....heel hooked)!
What titles have you held? 3x National Collegiate Wrestling Association National Champion. Purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Tim Burrill
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means that all the hard work I have put in at the gyms, destroying my body is worth it in the long run. It also means that the amount of people watching TV around the world will sky-rocket due to my beauty.
What was your job before you started fighting? Before I began fighting I applied my trade as an independent professional wrestler, and then used my college degree as a High School History teacher for almost 2 years.
Favorite grappling technique: It's all about the D'Arce Choke!
Favorite Striking technique: Left straight to the body
• Faced future WEC title challenger Ariel Gandulla in his first pro fight (no contest)
• Four wins by KO, four by submission (3 guillotine, 1 RNC)
• Only loss before Simpson fight came via DQ to future TUF8 castmate Shane Primm (illegal knee strike by Lawlor).
• Has won three of his last five
• Six first round finishes
