OLD AND HAS ALWAYS CONTINUED TO STUDY UNDER HIS FATHER MASTER GREGG MCMAHAN. AFTER A YEAR OF COLLEGE AT CARSON
-NEWMAN HE CONVINCED HIS PARENTS THAT HE WANTED TO START HIS AMATEUR M.M.A. CAREER, BY ARGUING THAT THIS

INCLUDING 3FC AND STATE CHAMPION, HIS AMATEUR RECORD WAS 8 AND 4. HE THEN DECIDED TO GO PRO,
