Eventually he dropped out of school and began participating in an underground fighting ring. He rose up the ranks quickly, but he wanted more.

He went after the trainer, only to discover the trainer had numerous gang links, and his actions were beginning to put his family in danger. He teamed up with Kate Quinn and took down the trainer.
