9-to-5, suit-and-tie

Nick Vogas' hobby doesn't quite mesh with the 9-to-5, suit-and-tie corporate culture.

He spends his work day in Aflac's customer call center and his off time punching, kicking, throwing and/or choking the unfortunate soul who happens to be opposite him in a freestyle fighting ring.

People frequently do a double-take when they find out he competes in the no-holds-barred-style fighting that has gained a cultural foothold through pay-per-view, Spike TV's "Ultimate Fighter" reality show and the promise of bruised bodies and bloody noses.

Vogas understands the skepticism because it's unexpected to find a fighter at the office in the next cubicle.
