Biography

    When and why did you start training for fighting? I started wrestling at age seven. I wrestled for the Minnesota All Star team and placed in national and state tournaments 10 times. I watched the first UFCs with Royce Gracie and Ken Shamrock and I started practicing judo for a while and then I found the school where I train now, the Minnesota Martial Arts Academy. I started training in shoot wrestling and then I started competing as an amateur a few years ago. While watching the UFC, I thought it would be great thing to do. But honestly, I never thought I would actually fight in it.

    What ranks and titles have you held? Former UFC Lightweight Champion

    Do you have any heroes? When I was younger, I used to really look up to my older brother. He was a good wrestler in high school, and college, and he taught me a lot.

    What is your favorite technique? Side choke as far as submissions. On my feet, I like to throw punches and go into takedowns.

    What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means me getting up everyday and training 3-4 times a day, living and breathing this sport it’s a 24 hour a day 7 day a week commitment.

    Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? No college.
