Writer bio

I'm currently a freelance MMA writer living in Ontario, Canada.

I've always been interested in combat sports, and the incredible athletes that compete in them. I believe in MMA, and want to share my knowledge and enjoyment with the world. I am a dedicated MMA analyst, and enjoy breaking down the technical details of MMA bouts, while providing further insight into the many intricacies of the sport.

I've trained in martial arts, and am currently training in wrestling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

A few of my articles have made it on to the sportsillustrated website, while I also write editorials regularly for www.fightmania.com and www.ring-rap.com

I'm always looking for new writing opportunities, so if you want to give me an assignment or want to send me to an event to cover all t...

Writer bio

A writer since 1994, Josh has an extensive background in covering sports. After leaving the business for a few years, Nason found blogging in 2007, starting up New England sports and media centric Small White Ball.com and being the first sports blog to break the news on the ESPN Dana Jacobson story. In 2008, Nason started RopesRingCage.com - a site focusing strictly on MMA, wrestling and boxing.

Nason has written extensively for Wrestling-Online.com and 411wrestling (now 411mania.com). He's also written for the Maine Campus, Bangor Daily News, Manchester (NH) Magazine and national MMA magazine FIGHT! Magazine.

Writer bio

Since joining Bleacher Report, I've really seen my style improve and develop. I'm hoping this will be the site that gets me recognized into journalism status like some of my fellow friends on this site. I've had two articles posted on Sports illustrated which, at this point is a great achievement for myself.

Writer bio

I was born and raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin, aka, Titletown, USA. People not from Green Bay have no idea what it's like to live and die with a team like Green Bay does with the Packers. It really is unlike any other situation in all of sports.

I moved to Milwaukee in January 2005. I have been a Milwaukee Brewers season ticket holder since.

In 2007, I started writing for a small baseball site that has since ceased to exist. I moved on to MVN in July 2007. I started to get quite a good following over there. I now write for Sportsbubbler.com which is a fan site for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. I was also convinced by a few writers here that I should give Bleacher Report a try as well.

Like most of you, I'm a huge sports nut. My favorite teams don't need to be playing for me...

Writer bio

Currently studying at Dublin Institute of Technology, I've been a huge MMA fan ever since 2007, when I watched Randy Couture defeat Gabriel Gonzaga for the UFC Heavyweight belt.

Not long after, I found out about PRIDE, which I didn't know was defunct at the time, and then started watching global MMA. With the collapse of PRIDE, we're left with some new promotions like DREAM, Sengoku and Strikeforce.

My guess is that by 2011 it will have boiled down to UFC, Strikeforce and Sengoku.

I enjoy betting on MMA and run a NEW blog at http://combathq.blogspot.com where I give MMA predictions and betting advice.

Hopefully I can write about MMA professionally for someone like MMAJunkie, ESPN, or Sherdog after some experience.

I have done one year of boxing in college and will be ta...

Writer bio

I am currently a freshman at Cornell University.

I was born to like MMA; I wrestled in High School and also trained Tae Kwon Do for a while.
(I know it's a joke sport, but whatever :)

I am a busy student who barely has any time to sleep, but if there is a fight being broadcast somewhere, I am ready for duty. I can put any college essay aside if I have to.

I hope to continue contributing for the Bleacher Report, and hope you enjoy my articles.

You can find me at: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/jungsoo.kim?ref=profile

** I made an oath to myself to try write an article once a week.

The life of a sales manager is filled with ups and downs, and lots of downtime. Until you kick me out I'll be spending some of my downtime here, taking to task the Red Sox Pink Hats & MMA fans that think (redacted, see Tito Ortiz article)
The majority of my writing up to this point in my life has been boring technical equipment proposals and Zzzzzzzzz.

Writer bio

Sports have always been a love of mine. Football and Basketball were my two main sports growing up and I wanted more than anything to be on the recieving end of a Troy Aikman pass or to throw Michael Jordan an alley oop. Unfortunately both of these two great athletes retired when I got old enough to run out on the fields with them, so I decided to become a salesman.
