Favourite aspect of training or favourite session of the week, and why?
I love drilling — whether it’s striking or BJJ. I like getting a movement to flow naturally, to the point where it feels instinctive.
What are your greatest strengths as an athlete or a fighter?
I’m my biggest critic. I’ve never left the cage thinking I’ve done enough — in my mind, there’s always something to improve. That mindset is why I believe I can be great one day.
How would you describe your fighting style?
Every time I step in the cage — win or lose — I’m a different and improved fighter. I’ve blended my karate base with strong BJJ skills and counter-wrestling. Now I’m focused on levelling up my boxing. It’s a lifelong process to become a complete mixed martial artist.
What is your favourite sport and why?
MMA and boxing — we’re modern-day gladiators.
Who is your favourite athlete?
Vasiliy Lomachenko.
Who is your favourite combat sports athlete?
Demetrious Johnson.

To get better.
When fans see your name on a fight poster, what should they expect?
I’ve never had a boring fight. I’m always improving, so expect each fight to be better than the last.
How do you see your upcoming fight playing out?
I’m going to be fast and sharp.
