BACKSTORY
Zion is the type to give hella respect, unless he is disrespected first. He loves the sport in general and to him it's not about money and fame, but more about the thrill and the competition. He's usually all smiles and jokes inside and outside of the cage with a cool demeanor unless pushed too far.... at which point he has a NASTY hidden temper. He's a bit of a wildcard and loves to party and be the life of said party. Once the cage door closes however he's calm and collected and pinpoint accurate with his strikes. He relies on his timing and ungodly athletic ability to counter strike and control the pace of the fight as he sees fit. He can be your best friend or your worse enemy.
Zion has been training since he was a youngster alongside his sister, Tatum. Their father was an accomplished Muay Thai kickboxer, and this lead to both kids living active lifestyles with an immense interest in combat sports. Zion excelled in football and wrestling throughout High School and College, but eventually gave it up in pursuit of his dream to be a world champion fighter. A few short months later, he won the golden gloves, and then buried their father shortly after. For the past few years he's worked a job as a physical trainer and agility coach at Zoo Culture in LA, allowing his sister to pursue MMA until they had the stability for both to test the waters. Now he's here, on a two fight win streak and looking to make a name in the industry with his flashy striking.
