Which gym do you train out of:
The Fight Centre
Who are your coaches:
Ben Johnston, Darcy Vendy
What belts or rankings do you currently possess as a martial artist:
BJJ Blue Belt
What sports or activities did you participate in growing up:
I played rugby league from age 12 to 19 before finding martial arts. Dan Hooker used to have a gym called Combat Academy that I tried one day during the footy offseason — I never looked back.
When did you begin to take MMA seriously as a hobby and then as a potential profession:
Pretty much straight away. I was training almost every day, and as I had more fights and saw my progress, I wanted to train full-time. In 2021, I quit my electrical apprenticeship to focus on training.
Favourite aspect of training or favourite session of the week, and why:
Sparring and wrestling/rolls — the best way to measure how good you currently are.
What are your greatest strengths as an athlete or a fighter:
My range and striking — being able to use different weapons to hurt my opponents.
How would you describe your fighting style:
Well-rounded, but I prefer to strike. I like to inflict damage with my striking more than anything.
What is your favourite sport and why:
MMA — though I also love boxing, kickboxing, and studying grappling arts.
Who is your favourite athlete:
Israel Adesanya and Jack Della Maddalena — he’s a G, haha.
Who is your favourite combat sports athlete:
The same two — Israel Adesanya and Jack Della Maddalena.
What are your immediate and long-term goals:
Put on a great performance at Eternal 100. Long term — fight in the UFC for a long time.
When fans see your name on a fight poster, what should they expect:
An exciting and violent fight. All my pro fights have gone that way, and I expect the same here.
How do you see your upcoming fight playing out:
These are hard to predict exactly, but I’m confident in my ability and the matchup with Jackson. He’s 4–0, so it’ll be good to get a win over someone with a strong resume.
A final message to any friends, family and supporters:
Come down and support like you always do. The support from our members and the wider TFC community means everything — I genuinely believe we have the best supporters in the country. It’s an honour to be part of Eternal 100, and I’m going to put on a fight worth watching.
