Following his passion, the Italian Dream would move to London to polish his skills more in a fixed schedule. He would later move to the United States and train at Kings MMA.
Kings MMA is home to some notable MMA fighters like Kelvin Gastelum, Beneil Dariush, Lyoto Machida, Cris Cyborg, Rafael dos Anjos, and Fabrício Werdum.
