Phil De FriesTRAINING: Typical days of training here involve sparring and drills, usually with Phil Davis and Joey Beltran. In the evening I will usually hit pads and doing some specific conditioning so that I’m feeling my fittest for this fight.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I started practicing BJJ at 14 and became addicted to martial arts. I’ve always thought fighters were kinda cool, so I just wanted to be part of it. What ranks and titles have you held? BJJ purple belt with 4 stripes, Seni purple belt champion, Urban Gorillas purple belt champion, London open purple belt champion , Northern Open champion x2, Supremacy FC heavyweight British champion, Ultimate Warrior Challenge, Heavyweight British champion. Do you have any heroes? Just all the guys I train with What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means so much to me; it’s the ultimate stage to showcase your ability. Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? No What was your job before you started fighting?
