Today we’d like to introduce you to Daniel Frunza
Hi Daniel, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I was born in the beautiful country of Romania, in a small village.
It the age of 14 my family moved to Italy , where i finish my studies
Right after is when i start to dedicate myself full time to my mma career at the age of 19,
By the time i was 23 I started to travel around the world (Europe / South America and North America) with the intent of improving my skills as a martial artist, and the pursue of better and better opponents to compete against.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
AT ALL, it was very challenging for me, because i came from nothing, so everything i obtained it was thru a lot of sacrifices and effort .
One of the greatest struggles was the lack of resources (money) , in the beginning no one believed in me, not even my family, so they didn’t want to invest money in my career , because of the high risk that presents
So i had to work a 9 to 5 job to maintain myself, plus the coasts of my diet and training , all at the same time.
But by doing so, I got even more determined to succeed, and prove to everyone the my dream was worth to invest in.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I’m a professional MMA fighter, soon to make my debut with the UFC, i dedicate myself full time to my trainings and preparation.
I speak 4 foreign languages, the thing that i’m most proud of are, my origins / my country / my family.
What sets me apart from everyone else is, my unwillingness to QUIT, my self belief and determination, my confidence and core values , and the desire to make the people that believe in me proud .
What’s next?
The future looks great , im about to make my debut with the UFC most likely in September, and from there literally SKY IS THE LIMIT !!!
