1) What is it that got you into MMA and when?

I was training in BJJ kind of brake and got an offer to fight locally won and went from their.

2) Tell us what you learned while livin in the TUF house?

The house is a lot more difficult then it looks. When you lose contact with the rest of the world it is always tough. We just didn’t have any imput (TV Internet Newspaper) so it is a lot more difficult than it looks. I know I never want to spend any time in Solitarary confinment.

3) Who did you get along with so well that you have become great friends outta the house?

I really like Jorge we call each other, and I also talk to Charles me and Dean will E-mail each other and I have been talking to Mat on the phone about sponsership problems, so I gueass I am friends with a lot of the guys. Giddeon called me (he is such a nice guy) to say congrats after the fight. All the guys that were in the house really I consider a friend.

4) What was the funnest nite while livin in the house?

I think the funnest night would have been when Mikey ran through the wall, evan though I slept through it. Just hearing about it and imagining what it would have been like for the camarra guys and producers to be like is he going to do it man watch this and then him doing it 3 more times is amazing and very funny.

5) Tell the ppl about your last fight how did it end?

It was a quick fight Patrick is a great fighter he went the distance with Tito but really this fight came down to styles. I took him down passed his guard and caught him in a arm bar. It was quick about 2:16 of the first round.
