6- What was your best fight? and worst? and why?
best - against anthony gott. I had a opponent change at the last minute and was kind of pissed off about it but
just because of the dominance and it was the first time that I had a crowd behind me I wont forget that fight. I was always fighting in the states and we had no crowd support at all.
worst - my first fight. Went in with a injury and worried about it too much. Guy had a good ground game and ended up shooting in right away as i threw a stupid leg kick. He grinded it out until he got mount and started raining down some shots. Ended up escaping and getting a tko victory shortly after but i was in a bad position too quickly and too long.
I thought it was kickboxing but everyone seems to comment on my wrestling.
8- Which would you like to improve the most?
everything, I want to constantly improve as a hybrid fighter.

Boxing fight Feb 20. Coming off a injury so going to do some boxing to knock off some rust.

Sharpen up the basics and bring my athleticism to a new level.
Stay healthy and enjoy the sport, its a long road.
12- Do you think Canada is producing the best fighters in the world? and why?
Yea I think Canada is and will keep producing quality fighters. Why wouldnt we, great athletes are everywhere and its only a matter of time once the politics are settled and things are legal for this sport to really exploded here.
13- What is the biggest hurdle ahead of you in the ring/cage?
Getting in there more often. Tight schedule still working full time outside of fighting.
14- What advice do you have for any up and comming fighters?
hammer the basics, people are trying to get too far too quickly. Learn the basics and what works for you, once you find a style that suits the way you flow then you can get more technical.
15- Who is your favorite and least favorite fighter?
GSP & BJ. Both just phenomenal. I dont know about my least favorite, if I dont like them i just dont pay attention so I really dont know.
