I’m not necessarily just picking on anybody, but I just like getting my nose dirty. I never turned down a fight, even as a young kid.”
But the advice from his mom changed his life for good. “My mom used to chew my a** cuz I’d go to town looking for fights and she said if you’re gonna do it you might as well earn some money at it. So here I am.”
