Do you think there will be any challenge living in the same house as your opponents?
I’m kind of a loner, so the whole new situation of living with people again is going to be a different experience, but I’ll be good with it.
Is there a specific coach/team you’d prefer to work with this season?
I’m happy with whoever’s team I get on. I’ll go with the flow; I’ll be all right with that.
How do you think that being coached by UFC vet James Krause will give you an advantage over your opponents? Did Krause give you any advice before you left for the tournament?
I think it’ll give me a big advantage. James was on the show. Tim Elliott, who trains out there, was also on the show. They just gave me advice – keep my head (straight) and keep the end goal in mind. I train with really good guys in practice every day. We grind every day. I think it’ll give me a big advantage – the mindset that they’re giving us, and the training advantage.
Why do you think you’ll be the one to win The Ultimate Fighter Season 30?
I got a lot of heart and I have no quit.
