Why I Fight
I fight due to a culmination of reasons- mixed martial arts or mma is the combination of my passion for creativity, discipline, health, self-defense, competition and is also great way to relieve stress. MMA allows one to have unrestricted self-expression that other sports cannot achieve. Fighting or mixed martial arts seemed like a natural transition for me.
