The WCA Fight Team representative, who has been competing professionally since 2015, has thirteen professional bouts under his belt, ten of which he has won. He has won seven times by stoppage, and six of those victories came in the first round. In KSW, he has earned three bonuses for “Knockout of the Night” and one for “Fight of the Night.”
