I'm Cuban-American, everybody says. I have a Cuban background, Cuban blood.

I remember my rookie hazing. It wasnt fun.

To be a small town kid from Hialeah, Fla., pitching in Miami and representing Team U.S.A., that says it all. It's a kid's dream. Don't pinch me. I don't want to wake up.

Does anyone in the UFC actually follow the rules?

Collaboration is risky. If it fails, if the occupation is wound up prematurely and the bad guys come back to power, you might find yourself in some serious trouble.

My wife's so dumb, she got a nail in the spare!!

What is a man, if his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more.
