When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training kickboxing because I hurt my foot playing soccer, ending my dream to be a soccer player. I tried another sport and fell in love with MMA. 

Any accomplishments in amateur combat sports? Muay Thai state champion (x3)

Any belts/ ranks in grappling disciplines? BJJ brown belt 

Any belts/ ranks in striking disciplines? Blue and black Muay Thai (one rank before black belt)

What has been your toughest fight to date and why? My sixth pro fight against Paulo Cangaceiro. I was being dominated throughout the entire fight and I TKOd him with 10 seconds left. After the fight, I was throwing up and feeling dead tired, so it was my toughest fight so far

Who is your favorite fighter and why? Anderson Silva. He is my inspiration, and watching his fights, I was inspired to start MMA.

What was your job before you started fighting? I never worked before fighting, but after I started fighting, I worked at a lot of things: Waiter, cook (I don't know how to cook very well, but I worked as a cook), van washer, dogsitter, dogwalker, cleaning, etc.

Origin of nickname: I just started saying to everybody that I was “The Legend” after watching the movie "I am Legend.” I didn't even watch the whole movie, but my friends liked it and started calling me that. So here I am. 

Personal Life/Background: I like to play video games, stay home all day, play guitar, go out to eat. My wife is pregnant, so I have the obligation to win this fight!
