The WSOF lightweight title challenger on the gear that keeps him at the top of his game

WSOF MMA Gloves

“I like to spar and grapple in the fight gloves I compete in and the WSOF gloves are great. I still use the ones from my first fight.”

RevGear Shin Guards

“These guys sponsored me for my last fight and so I’ve been using their kit for this camp too. It’s comfortable and it’s great. The shin guards perform just how I’d want them to.”

Warrior Boxing Gloves

“When it comes to hitting mitts I don’t necessarily have a favored boxing glove brand but I have been wearing a Warrior glove recently and it does the job. I know that’s a popular brand.”

RevGear fight shorts 

“Again, RevGear kitted me out for my last fight, so I’ve still got a kitbag full of their clothing and gear. I like to wear vale tudo-style shorts when I fight, and I won in these so I guess they’re also lucky.”

Grappling tights

“I’m actually not sure where or when I first picked these up, but I like training in compression wear as I find it more comfortable, and a lot easier to grapple.”

FAA T-Shirt

“I like to train in my home gym shirt, especially when I am on the road. It’s good to represent your own gym and I’m proud to fight out of Fighting Arts Academy.”

QuickClot Combat Gauze

“QuickClot is one of my sponsors and hits me up with plenty of gear for my kitbag. Thankfully I rarely need it, but it’s nice to know I have it close by in case of any accidents in training.”

Top Secret Nutrition

“Top Secret Nutrition looks after me really well and has done for a while now. I like the protein a lot, and I also take the BCAAs every day. And I have the Cardio Igniter for days when I’m a little tired too.”

New Balance Running Shoes 

“I have a couple of pairs of running shoes for when I’m doing my S&C and I also like to mix up the brand. Right now I have a blue pair of New Balance and they’re very comfortable and provide the right kind of support.”
