The essential gear used by today's athletes. The explosive former UFC welterweight is still looking for gloves with some ‘Semtex’ in them.

RINGSIDE GLOVES

“I don’t really have a preferred choice of glove as I’m yet to find the perfect one, but right now I’m using Ringside gloves. The fit is really good and they also look decent, which means you get the best of both worlds.”

BANNED FIGHTWEAR T-SHIRTS

“Banned Fightwear is a UK-based brand that’s had my back for a long time now. Its designs have come on leaps and bounds and I’ve even seen US fans repping the gear, which is awesome. It’s one of my main sponsors and I always wear the custom-made designs those guys create for me.”

ULTIMATE GLADIATORS SHORTS

“When I’m doing general training or kickboxing I’ll normally wear my Ultimate Gladiators shorts, but if we are talking about what shorts I wear for MMA and actually competing then, again, the guys at Banned Fightwear always hook me up with a custom-made pair.”

BORN AMBITIOUS MENSWEAR

“All my casual day-to-day clothing is provided by Born Ambitious Menswear. It has a store in Nottingham, my hometown in the UK, and stocks some awesome gear to keep you looking fresh.”

SUPPLEMENTS

“I always use MaxiNutrition supplements, because they are quality. If you are really serious about your training and are competing at a high level you have to use the right supplements to get essential nutrition intake. Promax Lean is probably the one I use most from the MaxiNutrition range.”

HEADPHONES

“If you ever see me, whether it be in the street or at the gym, I’ll no doubt have my headphones in. The ones I use are Monster headphones – and if those guys want to send me a new pair or two I’d be happy to accept.”
