  • Three division MMA champion
  • Lockdown Light Heavyweight Champion
  • Lockdown Heavyweight Champion
  • Ranked #6 in the IMMAF World Rankings

What sports or activities did you participate in growing up?
I played rugby league growing up.

  • Best Defensive Player (Under 9’s)
  • Best Forward of the Year (Under 10, 11, 12, and 13) — Forest Lake Magpies, lessgoo.

When did you begin to take MMA seriously as a hobby and then as a potential profession?
My first day of training was October 2014. I took a break, then came back in February 2015 and trained every day. I fought twice that year and didn’t do well, but trained hard all through 2016.

Still lost fights until 2017, when my little brother Jake passed away. I took 2017 off, then came back stronger in 2018 and trained harder than ever. I went on a four-fight win streak, competed in IMMAF, won multiple titles, and was meant to turn pro two years ago — but injuries set me back.

Short answer: I’ve been taking this seriously since 2018, but started training in 2014.

Favourite aspect of training or favourite session of the week, and why?
Being fit as f**k and pushing my limits. Plus, the harder I train, the more I get to eat. I love living life my way — doing what I want, when I want.

What are your greatest strengths as an athlete or a fighter?
I’m extremely physical, fast, and explosive — it’s in the Filimoehala bloodline. We’re warriors from Tonga.
My eyes and reaction timing are elite. Also, I’m a sick c**t grappler — a full-on wizard with wrestling.

How would you describe your fighting style?
Way too strong and too fast for anyone in my division. I’m very well-rounded, extremely aggressive, and can dominate anywhere, anytime.

What is your favourite sport and why?
MMA — it’s real-life warrior stuff. Fighting is one of the most important skills anyone can have, and it’s cool as hell to know who the best in the world is.
Rugby league was my favourite sport to play growing up, but I don’t really enjoy watching it now.

Who is your favourite athlete?
Conor McGregor, Greg Inglis, Brock Lesnar, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Joe Ofahengaue.

Who is your favourite combat sports athlete?
Conor McGregor, Brock Lesnar, Cain Velasquez, Mike Tyson, Jon Jones, Francis Ngannou, Muhammad Mokaev.

What are your immediate and long-term goals?

  • Immediate: Smash all these f**kwits in my division and become Eternal Champion.
  • Long-term: Become the first Tongan UFC athlete. Become UFC Welterweight Champion and Middleweight Champion. Become a millionaire… then a billionaire.

When fans see your name on a fight poster, what should they expect?
Expect me to go crazy and crash out. I’m a high-level athlete with high-level skills, but I don’t think like these other fighters. To me, it’s life or death — I ain’t f**king around.

How do you see your upcoming fight playing out?
I’m going first. I’ll either punch the f**k out of him or rip his head off. I can win in 10 different ways — and it’ll be one of those 10 ways.

A final message to any friends, family, and supporters:
If you don’t come to my fight, you fake as f**k.
Nah, just kidding — love you all. ❤️

Full Name:

26.

Where were you born?
Australia.

Where do you live?
Gold Coast.

Which gym do you train out of?
The Fight Centre (TFC).

Who are your coaches?
Ben Johnston and Darcy Vendy.

What belts or rankings do you currently hold as a martial artist?
Blue Belt in BJJ.

What sports or activities did you participate in growing up?
Musical theatre — I played the lead in every production I was part of, both in and out of school. I was also the lead singer in a band. I played rugby for a bit too, but I was just too small.

When did you begin to take MMA seriously as a hobby and then as a potential profession?
In 2021, as a white belt, I guillotined a brown belt in BJJ class. That moment made me realise I wanted to pursue fighting. I started training MMA the same year. After meeting Darcy, I knew I could take the sport all the way. We didn’t properly train together until after my first fight, but from then on he basically took control of my skill development and fighting career — until we both moved to TFC.

Favourite aspect of training or favourite session of the week, and why?
Wrestling. There’s nothing better than physically exhausting yourself while mixing technique with explosiveness — all without the risk of concussing your teammates. Plus, let’s be real… you’re just sweaty and rolling around with your mates. Name something better.

What are your greatest strengths as an athlete or a fighter?
My boxing and wrestling. My hands are fast, sharp, and hard. I’m smart — a young Michael Chandler with a bigger vision. I’m going to the top. 📈

How would you describe your fighting style?
My pace and pressure are unlike anything my opponents have felt. Once I get going, I’ll melt anyone standing in front of me at bantamweight.

What is your favourite sport and why?
MMA — it’s literally the only sport worth watching. Once you decide that watching simulated murder is fun, how are you meant to go back to watching footy?

Who is your favourite athlete?
Ilia Topuria.

Who is your favourite combat sports athlete?
Darcy Vendy.

What are your immediate and long-term goals?
Immediate: Knock this guy out, take one more amateur fight, then turn pro by the end of 2025 or start of 2026.
Long-term: Headline an Eternal card in Logan City — either fighting for or defending a title — before heading to the UFC.

When fans see your name on a fight poster, what should they expect?
The best performance on the card. No one does it like Daddi.

How do you see your upcoming fight playing out?
Perry is skilled, aggressive, and game — probably the kind of guy I’d be mates with if we weren’t fighting. But it sucks for him… I’m going to knock him out.

A final message to any friends, family, and supporters:
Anyone who knows me knows how much I value the support and love from my friends, family, and fans. The best way I can repay everyone who believes in me is by showcasing the best version of myself. I’ll do it for them, for TFC — and most of all, for LOGAN CITY BABY!!!

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.

MMA and boxing — we’re modern-day gladiators.
