AH: Training is going well, I’m picking up new things everyday and adding to my game. No major injuries so everything is cool.<\/p>\n

MVS: What does a day of training look like for you?<\/p>\n

AH: I try and wake up around 7:00 am, get my strength and conditioning in, then around 10:00 am I’ll head over to a fight gym depending on the day and train until\u00a0about 1:00 pm. After that I’ll head home for recovery, eat and play video games\u00a0untill my next session at 5:30. I will finish my day of training around 7:30 pm. The next day I repeat.<\/p>\n

AH: My diet consist of oatmeal, chicken breast, brown rice and green veggie smoothies and lots of water.<\/p>\n

MVS: Favorite cheat food?<\/p>\n

AH: My favorite fighters are the ones that entertain. I’m a Roy Jones Jr. fan, Anderson Silva of course, Prince Naseem Amed and Jon Jones<\/p>\n

MVS: Does your family back you with your fighting career?<\/p>\n

AH: My family are still kinda iffy about the whole fighting thing. My dad and brothers enjoy it but my mom hates it.<\/p>\n

MVS: What have been some of your accomplishments in CAMO (amateur MMA)?<\/p>\n

MVS: Is there anyone out there, when you get enough experience, that you would love to fight?<\/p>\n
