Saturday, open mat at Gracie Tampa 10:30. Sunday, church, then go for a run and maybe a few sprints - relax the rest of the day.

When and why did you start training for fighting? I got into MMA about a year ago (June 2006). I was doing jiu-jitsu for about six months, had a couple of matches and did well. Then one of the guys I trained with was gonna do an MMA fight so I went to watch. I thought that if I got into the ring and fought I could market my store. I never imagined it would be anymore than that, but I did good and the crowd loved how it played out and the fans became customers.

What ranks and titles have you held? I’m a blue belt in Jiu-Jitsu and self-proclaimed crustacean sensation.

Do you have any heroes? The many lobsters that put their lives on the line for me everyday.

What is your favorite technique? I have renamed the guillotine the Lobster trap

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? More fans and more customers.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Nope, straight to business. Every time I make a mistake and it costs me I consider it to be college.

What was your job before you started fighting? My job was and still is Monstah Lobstah seafood restaurant
