When I was first introduced to the MMA scene I had no fighting background, it was my friend Seth who did BJJ at Novagen at the time who got me started, even though I had no clue of what I was doing at first. In no time I got to love and enjoy my new found sport and talent, but the moment I got really hooked was when I met Donavin Hawkey – a well-known professional fighter.
My first real fight was against former UFL light-weight champ Martin de Beer. Even though he beat me that evening, I knew I was meant for greatness and I would not give up.
I encouraged myself to train harder and mixed myself with great EFC Africa Fighters like Martin van Staden, Donavin and Wesley Hawkey, James Rennie, they took me in and tought me well.
Thereafter I won five consecutive fights in a row. I am a Bantam weight fighter, but sometimes I fight LW or WW.
I am currently the KZN Champion and AFL Champion.
I will be fighting at Fightstar 3 in JHB on the 1st of June 2013 and hope to impress the guys from EFC Africa so that they sign me up as a professional.
