What sports or activities did you participate in growing up?
I grew up doing karate and playing soccer from the age of 7. I started Muay Thai at 14, and soon after began training Jiu Jitsu and MMA. I quit soccer after my first year of Muay Thai to dedicate more time to martial arts.
When did you begin to take MMA seriously as a hobby and then as a potential profession?
I’ve trained consistently since I started. Around age 16, I made the decision to pursue MMA as a career — I never really wanted to do anything else.
Favourite aspect of training or favourite session of the week, and why?
Sparring is my favourite session of the week. Outside of that, I love a tough wrestling session — anything that pushes me.
What are your greatest strengths as an athlete or a fighter?
My pace, work rate, and physical strength. But above all, my consistency and dedication to training. I’m always in the gym working to improve.
How would you describe your fighting style?
High-paced and exciting. I’m always pushing forward and hunting for the finish.
What is your favourite part of the sport and why?
Competing and testing myself. Seeing improvements, winning, and showcasing my skills in the cage — nothing beats that feeling.
Who is your favourite athlete?
Georges St-Pierre — for me, the greatest to ever do it. A role model in and out of competition.
Who is your favourite combat sports athlete?
Michael Bisping was one of the first that got me into MMA — his title win was legendary. I’m a big fan of Aussie fighters like Volk and Whittaker, and I love watching Max Holloway.
What are your immediate and long-term goals?
Immediate: Keep improving and win the Eternal title — prove I’m the best in the country.
Long-term: Make it to the UFC and climb to the top.
When fans see your name on a fight poster, what should they expect?
A high-paced, exciting fight — a show.
How do you see your upcoming fight playing out?
I’m going to put the pace on Ethan and finish him.
