Got in a few fights over the years, dumb fights, I would say. Yeah, the calluses are all just from training.” Further, he opened up on his eviction from Hawaii at a very young age. “When I was 14 years old, we were evicted out of our efficiency in Hawaii and forced to leave the island and at that time in my life. I wanted to do everything I possibly could do to make sure that I was never in that position again where my family was being evicted, or I never wanted to see my mom cry because we didn’t have a place to live,” said Dwayne.

My gratitude and humility is in my scars. You want to know me? Shake my hand and you’ll know my story. Then if I really like you we’ll have some Teremana tequila and have some real fun.
