What has been your toughest fight to date and why? The fight against Tom Nolan. Toughest because I got knocked out the first time in my career and could mature a lot through that experience.

Who is your favorite fighter and why? Jon Jones. Expert in every aspect of the sport. Brutal elbows and oblique kicks.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Yes. In Austria it’s called “commercial college.”

What was your job before you started fighting? I did a lot of different jobs: Waiter, detective, recruiter, real estate agent, self-employed (own bar), and worked my whole childhood and youth in all kinds of crafted work with my father.

Origin of nickname: “Fritz Treiber gave it to me. He said, ‘Such a friendly face turns into a killer inside the cage.”

Personal Life / Background: Driving a Sports quad, riding a downhill bike and doing some tricks (wheelie, etc), playing table tennis, spending time in the forest and in nature. It's best to grill next to a river and listen to nature. Family (also the family members who are not related by blood) is the most important thing in life for me. I’m always looking to help people in need, and also animals, because they are really helpless.
