ENDO Athletics will be sponsoring Sagraves for the fight and recently was able to catch up with him before his upcoming mma bout:

EA:  How were you introduced to martial arts?

Sagraves:  I started martial arts back in grade school I was picked on and bullied as a kid for my size so I started teaching myself Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and any other form of grappling that interested me and taught other kids in my area to be able to learn and grow.

EA:   What made you want to jump into MMA?

Sagraves:  I jumped in MMA because at the time I wanted to be able to test my jiu jitsu in live competition and to be able to prove that I can use Jiu-Jitsu effectively in MMA!

EA:  Your coming off of a few losses, what have you done differently to pick up the W in this bout?

Sagraves:  I've come off a few losses from some top level competition. This fight I've worked on a lot of extra strength and conditioning since I'm moving up in weight and as for technique-wise, I've reverted back to my old style to go back to refine my technique! I'm focused and busting my ass for this win!

EA:  What can you tell us about your opponent Cody Linne?

Sagraves:  Cody is very exciting and is a very talented grappler himself.

EA:  What can Cody expect from you in this fight?

Sagraves:  Well, with Cody Style I assumed he would want the fight to go to the ground. My plan is to pressure him no matter where the fight goes!

EA:  What is your next big goal?

Sagraves:  My biggest goal is to get back in the title run at 115 or 125 at Caged Aggression or Pure FC and go to pro after!!
