When and why did you start training for fighting? At 23, I just had a sudden desire to train MMA. There was no reason behind it, it just suddenly seemed cool.

Any accomplishments in amateur combat sports? I was able to make my professional debut without any amateur experience. 

Any belts/ranks in grappling disciplines? I am currently a white belt in jiu-jitsu

Any belts/ranks in striking disciplines? No belts or ranks in striking disciplines. Back in 2020, I landed 258 ground strikes, which broke the record in total strikes in a three-round match

What has been your toughest fight to date and why? My UFC debut was the hardest fight because I was nervous and didn't feel relaxed.

Who is your favorite fighter and why? My favorite fighter is Khabib; he has a good athlete mindset.

What was your job before you started fighting? I was a swimming coach.

Personal Life/Background: My hobby is soccer and I spend most of my days playing soccer when I'm not training for MMA.
