TRAINING: Training’s been very intense for this fight. I have finally recovered fully and have been able to train like I used to for every one of my fights. I have been spending my mornings doing my strength and conditioning at the Sports Science Lab. I then go to my gym, Team Oyama MMA, and hit pads and do bag work. I also spar nightly at my gym. Twice a week I wrestle at the California Republic Academy of Wrestling. Every Saturday I run sprints with my team.

Thoughts on opponent, Pat Barry? Pat Barry is going to be a great opponent and a good test for me. We are both dominant standup fighters and both have knockout ability. I think it is going to be a very exciting fight and we are going to put on a good show for the fans. We are both coming off losses so I'm sure as I am he is training very hard and we are gonna leave everything in the cage come December 15th. I definitely think there's a good chance somebody is getting knocked out.

When and why did you start training for fighting? I first started training as a hobby when I was 17 with Marco Ruas.

I have been a part of Team Oyama for six years.
