April 4th will be my final amateur MMA fight before I make the jump to the professional level.

So far in this journey, I’ve been blessed to become an NCAA All American wrestler, stay undefeated in my amateur MMA career, and earn the #1 flyweight ranking in Michigan. Milestones that have shaped me both inside and outside the cage.

I truly believe I’m ready for the next chapter, and as I make this transition from my final amateur fight into the professional ranks, I’m looking to partner with sponsors who want to be part of the journey. I take pride in representing the people/businesses who support me and carrying myself the right way inside and outside the cage.

If you’re interested in working together leading into April 4th and beyond, please feel free to DM me directly to discuss sponsorship opportunities. Let’s work 💯🙏

A lot of people don’t realize the amount of dedication and discipline you have to put into this game. The countless hours of training, having to get up every single morning, practicing two or even three times a day, plus having the right mindset. This has to be done every day, even when you don't have any competition coming up. That's what separates the elite from everyone else. Consistency. So many people fake the grind and that’s why they stay average.

You've got to have the right guys to push you every day, but even then, there’s still a high chance you won’t make it to the pinnacle of the sport. This game requires so many years of sacrifice, and then some, just to be great. I’m blessed to have the teammates I have at @murcielagomma. All of us will get what we work for! In 3–4 years, I promise I’ll be in the UFC !! 💯💯💯
