Every fighter has a story, and this is mine. It started long before the bright lights of the UFC, forged in small gyms with a big dream. My journey took a major turn on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF 13), a pressure cooker that tested every ounce of my skill and determination. That experience was my entry into the big leagues and the start of a career that led to 14 fights inside the world's most famous octagon.
Being a UFC veteran means facing a killer's row of talent. I've shared the cage with some of the best in the world, experiencing incredible highs and devastating lows. Here, I'll share some of the stories behind those fights—the training camps, the injuries, the mental battles—that fans don't get to see. It’s a look at the sacrifice and dedication required to compete at the highest level of mixed martial arts.
Now, the journey continues in Bellator as I fiercely pursue a world title. The goal has never changed: to be the best. This pillar is a living document of that pursuit. We'll look back at key moments, from my early days at Victory MMA to my current fight preparations, offering an inside look at the life of a professional fighter dedicated to his craft.
