This guy is a buddy of mine. He is one tough mother. Check out his latest victory.

Tribe - Outside of the ring, in civilian life, do people approach you in an aggressive way and challenge you to fights, sort of like the gunslinger, I’m a faster gun than you situation? If so, how do you deal with that situation so as not to compromise your growing career.

Jamie - Not at all. I’m pretty low key and no one recognizes me, so its not really and issue for me. Maybe if I got to Chuck Lidell’s status then maybe, but I’m a little smaller and less intimidating.

Tribe - We know you have been on UFC fight cards in the past, do you want to once again fight in the UFC?

Jamie -I love where I’m at right now. I’m under the same ownership as UFC, and the WEC is the best for light weight fighters.

Tribe - Why do you think MMA fighting, the WEC, the UFC are growing in popularity? Do you think the fans truly understand the dedication, and sacrifice that goes into just one fight?

Jamie - I think the sport is just so exciting, anybody can win on any given night and fans love to see a good scrap.

Tribe - Tough question, what is going through your head before a fight? What do you feel like? What about after? As a matter of fact when fighting do you even hear the crowd, or are you so focused that you hear nothing?

Jamie - I get super nervous every single time I fight and especially now since I have something to lose. When I’m out there I zone out. I only can really hear my corner men. I don’t pay much attention to anything else besides what is directly in front of me.

Tribe - Last question, when and if you have children, what martial art would you want them to take up? Owen’s wife is due in mid August, and if they have a daughter she will definitely be taking up Brazilian Jujitsu.

Jamie - I will try to get my kids involved in whatever they like more. Whether it is wrestling, boxing or Jujitsu. But I hope my kids don’t want to fight. I’m fighting now so hopefully they wont have too.

Thank you Jamie.  We wish you much luck and further success in the future.  Respect.
