When did you begin to take MMA seriously as a hobby and then as a potential profession?
I started in 2018 with my best mate Ryan Leavey at Tribal MMA. From 2018 to 2021, it was more of a hobby — I had a couple of fights but treated it like playing a sport, not the true grind it really is.

Favourite aspect of training or favourite session of the week, and why?
Honestly, all of them. Every day is my favourite. I focus on sharpening all aspects to make sure I’m fully prepared.

What are your greatest strengths as an athlete or a fighter?
My cardio. I believe I have an unbelievably good gas tank and can go all day.

My style has become much more well-rounded recently. In my earlier days, I was definitely more of a grappler — they even gave me the nickname “The Backpack” at the gym.

What is your favourite sport and why?
MMA — it’s by far the greatest sport of all. No explanation needed.

Who is your favourite athlete?
Antoine Griezmann, Atlético Madrid striker. He’s the GOAT.

Who is your favourite combat sports athlete?
Conor McGregor — it might be a little controversial now, but he shaped the sport into what it is today. When he was on his incredible run, you couldn’t help but be inspired.

What are your immediate and long-term goals?
Immediate: Get through Jesse and make my mark on the flyweight division.
Long-term: Take the Eternal flyweight title and move onto the world stage.

When fans see your name on a fight poster, what should they expect?
An exciting fight with all parts of MMA mixed in. I always bring a crowd and put on a high-level show.

How do you see your upcoming fight playing out?
I see a high-level, high-intensity fight with plenty of grappling exchanges swinging in my favour — and something sneaky sneaky to end it.

A final message to any friends, family, and supporters:
A massive thank you to all my friends, family, and supporters who have backed me all the way to my pro debut. We can’t do any of this without our support systems.
Huge thanks to my team for always preparing me, and a special shoutout to my girlfriend Mya — the most supportive and caring girlfriend I could ask for.

What sports or activities did you participate in growing up?
I grew up playing footy — from Auskick through to WAFL — but eventually lost the passion for the game.

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 will always be my favourite session — it was the first martial art I ever started with.

What are your greatest strengths as an athlete or a fighter?
In footy, I was never the fastest, strongest, or most talented player on the field — and I think that rings true in MMA as well. But I make up for it with my ability to learn, adapt, and keep improving — whether it’s in the training room or in the cage.

How would you describe your fighting style?
Versatile and crafty.

What is your favourite sport and why?
MMA — I’m a nerd for the sport and love watching high-level skills being implemented in a constantly evolving game.

Thanks to my team at Wolves Den, my partner Wendy for putting up with me, and all my family and friends — I love and appreciate you all. I’ll try my best to do you proud.

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. ❤️
