In my nearly six months as a B/R MMA writer, I have seen many great writers come, stay, and also go. An open source site like Bleacher report allows us, as passionate MMA followers, the chance to express our thoughts in the form of articles and then discuss amongst our fellow cohorts.

I have had opportunity to be mentored by present greats like Derek Bolender, Dorothy Willis, Jon Grilz, Nate Double, Josh Nason, and even Rear Naked.

I have witnessed the development of writers like Sean Schimling, Jessy Morris, Mike Leanza, Nick Colon, Flyin Hawaiian, Stoker Dafire, and Todd Jackson, who currently provide some of the site’s best content.

I have also seen the emergence of future star writers like Jaime Moreno, Matt Randall, Tom Grant, Andrew Alton, John Shubert, Matt Welsh, and Mike D. There are many other bright talents on the site and the lack of your name here does not preclude you from this list.

I have also had the treat to interact with some of the best writers from B/R MMA past. Writers like Derek Bedell, Jad Semann, and Mike Barraza. If you haven’t read their articles, or an article from Bryan Tedford or Kevin Curran, do yourself a favor and go back though and enjoy a classic.

A special mention goes out to Robert DesRoche who doesn’t write many articles but leaves some of the most memorable comments on any section on B/R. Your work does not go unnoticed.

So you may be asking yourself what is the point of this article.
