What sports or activities did you participate in growing up:
I grew up playing football – from juniors in Auskick to WAFL. I was obsessed with footy growing up and loved the game, but eventually lost the passion for it. Luckily, I found Jiu Jitsu and haven’t looked back since.
When did you begin to take MMA seriously as a hobby and then as a potential profession:
After my first fight, it sparked the same passion I used to feel for footy. The love and competitiveness drove me to take the sport more seriously.
Favourite aspect of training or favourite session of the week, and why:
Jiu Jitsu would be my favourite for sure.
What are your greatest strengths as an athlete or a fighter:
I believe my greatest strength is my ability to adapt on the fly and my self-awareness in training—recognising holes in my game, whether it’s in the training room or in the cage.
How would you describe your fighting style:
Crafty and versatile.

MMA.

When fans see your name on a fight poster, what should they expect:
They can expect a very technical fight. I’m always looking to set the pace and really work the whole time I’m in there.
How do you see your upcoming fight playing out:
I watch a lot of tape. Michael hasn’t fought since last year, so I expect a lot of improvements since his last time out. I’ll be well prepared for everything he puts in front of me—bringing constant pressure, output, and taking what’s available.
A final message to any friends, family and supporters:
I really appreciate all the support from my friends and family. I look forward to having the opportunity to fight in front of everyone and showcase my work. Love yous all and see yas there!
