What do you think of Toni Tauru?
I think Toni is a tough guy, and that’s what i like, i don’t want to fight cancrushers i want to fight good tough guys, just like toni.

How much have you improved since you appeared on TUF?
I am a new fighter, after a loss you get a receipt of what you’re good at and what you have to improve. I been working on my wrestling and standup, feeling very very confident.

But in my head im a new fighter. The TUF fight wasn’t easy, no coach, a lot of pressure and so on. BUT now i have my coaches and the people around my that i trust.

Where have you been training?
I’ve been training most of the time at my gym Frontier MMA, but before i went to team Alliance, system training center i LA, and with my friend at blackhouse Pedro munhoz.

Prediction for the fight?
We have to see on Thursday.
