[edit] Bio

Dolce is the son of a NY firefighter and Division I women’s college basketball player.[1] An all-state varsity wrestler, Dolce began MMA training to get back into shape. His first lessons were in jiu-jitsu and after he performed well against a professional fighter, he gave up his well-paying job as a Municipal Tax Assessor in New Jersey to pursue a career in professional fighting. He moved to Oregon in February 2005 to begin a career as a professional Mixed Martial Artist.
