After graduating high school as the top wrestler in Texas and one of the best in the nation, I moved to the Olympic Training Center with the dream of joining the U.S.A. Olympic wrestling team. I dropped out of Olympic training and took up MMA fighting, instead. However, the addiction that began in the Olympic Training Center continued. Something was missing in my life that no amount of success, whether Olympic or in the UFC, could fill. I’m so glad He used my failed Olympic dream to help me find my ultimate purpose -- fighting for those the world has forgotten and those lost in darkness, just like I was.
