Blue Belt in BJJ
What sports or activities did you participate in growing up:
Growing up I did just about every sport there is — rugby, footy, soccer, basketball — and I trained in martial arts up until I was about 12 when I went into high school. I then started BJJ when I was 19.
When did you begin to take MMA seriously as a hobby and then as a potential profession:
I started out just doing Gi Jiu-Jitsu three times a week and slowly caught the bug for it. Eventually I was training six days a week and the MMA class caught my eye, especially since I was already a big fan of the UFC. That’s when I started MMA. In 2022, when I was 22, I decided I wanted to fight. I finally made my debut in March 2024.
Favourite aspect of training or favourite session of the week, and why:
I would say Saturday sparring — all the crew are there, the vibes are always high, and it’s a good end to the week of training.
What are your greatest strengths as an athlete or a fighter:
My grappling and submissions.
How would you describe your fighting style:
I’m a southpaw grappler that enjoys mixing it up.
What is your favourite sport and why:
MMA, of course. There is no sport like it — I love it.
Who is your favourite athlete:
Michael Jordan — his work ethic was unmatched.
Who is your favourite combat sports athlete:
Ilia Topuria and Conor McGregor.
What are your immediate and long term goals:
My immediate goal is to get the finish in my next fight. My long-term goal is to become pro and win a belt.
When fans see your name on a fight poster, what should they expect:
They should expect a fun fight.
How do you see your upcoming fight playing out:
I see myself taking him down, grinding him out, and eventually he’ll give me the submission.
A final message to any friends, family and supporters:
Come down and support me — it’ll be a fun fight and I promise to give you a lasting memory.
