Got into cage fighting a couple of years ago as away to improve my fitness for rugby, then BANG, I'm hooked!

I am very outgoing and love life, friendly and always joking around. I'll always fight with a beard and shave it off directly after, so if you look twice because it's gone, don't worry it's me.

I have a big future in the spot as long as I stay focused and work hard.
