12- What advice do you have for new fighters here in Canada?

Be humble! Start off with a specific style and take your time to learn. Its not the Dojo that maters but the spirits of the warriors within



13- Do you think Canada is producing the best fighters in the world? and why?

YES! As a Wrestler, I've been fortunate to train in Canada and the USA with many top athletes. We train technically and humbly without all the hype and are even more fortunate to have world class Coaches. I have even turned down scholarships because I was being steered morally in the wrong direction. With MMA we come in hungry, from various backgrounds knowing we must make the best of every fight opportunity because Canada has yet to fully embrace the new sport.

14- What is the biggest hurdle ahead of you in the ring/cage?

My biggest hurdle is educating my fellow freestyle wrestlers, judokas and martial artists on the sport of MMA and getting them to fight. Personally I welcome all challenges and plan on destroying all hurdles

Train! Train! TRAIN! mentally, physically and spiritually... and after all that you still face yourself with adversity... instead of focusing on the mistake, look at the lesson learned from the mistake

GSP and for least favorite I have a 3 way tie with Chuck Liddell/ Tito Ortiz/ Keith Jardine
