What sports or activities did you participate in growing up?

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.

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.

High pace and technical fighting.
