| What was the turning point for you to get into fighting? | | 
My old college roommate found an ad in the underground looking for fighters. He said we should try it.. then one thing led to another and another.
| Has your fighting style evolved over the years or have you stuck with a specific style throughout? |
|
I started out as a wrestler/grappler but now I am more of a grappler/striker.This is mma...
| Getting into the ring is not for the faint hearted. What do you respect most about your opponents? |
|
First off... that they are fighting.
| Are you ever nervous? If so... How do you overcome nervousness before a big fight? |
|
Well... everyone gets nervous, I think it makes you better.
| How many hours a day do you train? How much of an emphasis do you place on cardio? |
|
I train about 2-4 hours a day... I run 4 or 5 times per week, Old benkei is my strenght and conditioning coach, he takes care of the rest.
| What is your approach to nutrition? |
|
I eat foods I like... If I dont like it I dont eat it... I eat lots of protein( meat or eggs is the center of each meal usually).. I also take suppliments..from islandsupplements.com, I eat alot of protein bars, glutamine...
| From a fans perspective, what is the attraction do you think? Why do people like to watch MMA? |
|
Most fans are looking for the car crash or big KO.. There are also lots of fans who understand and enjoy the beauty of the technical side.
| How long do you plan on continuing as a fighter? |
|
4 years?? I dunno...
| Is there anyone in particular you would like to thank? |
|
ATT, Jenni and all my good friend who are there for me when times are tough.
