“I never really liked the karate stuff because it was a point system,” he said. “I was always more of a full-contact guy, so I went into kickboxing and did some competitions and I changed to a more developed kickboxer.”
“I was always watching K-1 and I was a big fan,” he said. “I was following Mirko Cro Cop when he was doing K-1 and I fell in love with all those guys – Andy Hug, Ernesto Hoost.”
“I was a big fan of the UFC,” he said, “and a true martial artist should know more than one discipline. I was still doing kickboxing, but on the side, like secretly, I went to the gym in Montreal, and I was learning the ground game and wrestling. I was doing Muay Thai and boxing as well. It was all new to me.”
My inspiration was Cro Cop. When I was starting in MMA, I saw Cro Cop fighting in mixed martial arts back in PRIDE. I believe we’re a little similar in the sense that he also was a kickboxer who then went to MMA, and I always looked up to guys like that. At the end of the day, you can’t be perfect in everything, but it just clicked for me, and fighting is fighting. I just needed to be smart, train smart, and understand the game. So far I’ve been blessed. I’ve been fighting guys more experienced than me and I’ve been winning the fights.”
