Means the world to me, every big time fighter that came out of Hawai’i started from X1, and I could be one of them. As a young kid, I have been watching them ever since i have seem Ronald Jhun fought, that was it. I was like this is way better than WWF but my first time fighting in the Blaisdell for X1, I couldn’t believe it. I leveled up and must have been doing good to earn a spot.

What was your job outside of fighting? Masonry / Tile and Stone Apprentice
