I am an avid sports fan as I watch anything that is sports related. I was introduced to mixed martial arts during the first season of The Ultimate Fighter in 2005. I was hooked immediately and it quickly became another passion of mine along with the NY Yankees. I graduated from the Connecticut School of Broadcasting in 2000 and combined my love of mixed martial arts along with my love of writing and started penning articles for Fightticker.com, I parlayed that into a role with one of the industry leading websites, Five Ounces of Pain. I currently write for MMA Opinion and The Examiner which allows me access to fighters, events and some behind the scenes information that I normally would not have access to.

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...

My name is Mitch Ciccarelli and Mixed Martial Arts is my passion. I've been a martial artist for most of my life. I've studied Shaolin Kempo Karate for 10 years and in the summer of 2008 I began training in all aspects of MMA, focusing on Muay Thai.

In July of 2008 I discovered my passion for MMA writing. I became a member of an MMA forum and one of the members asked me if I would write articles for his website. I had found my calling in life.

I went on to discover Bleacher Report and from there my MMA opportunities have taken off. I am currently the co-community leader of the UFC section right here on Bleacher Report alongside Derek Bolender and I was recently added as a feature columnist for the MMA section on B/R as well.

My immediate MMA goals include interviewing the fight...

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.

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 taking up another martial art whenever I can.

If anyone wants to email me, my new add...

I am a SoCal transplant living in the lovely Kansas plains. I have been an athlete for my entire life and my passion is sports. My favorites would have to be football and MMA but I also enjoy basketball, baseball, boxing, and well everything. Since I came across this site I have found that I have a passion for writing about the sports that I live and breathe, something that I would not have discovered otherwise.

In addition to Bleacher Report I also write for Examiner.com and the Curtis and Kyle Show Website stop by and check them out sometime.

I'm a person who enjoys sports in general. As I go along you will notice that I have a bias against any team that isn't from Dallas, Texas, and I will come across as hating the teams in which I have a bias towards. In my world it makes sense, and if you have follow the Texas Rangers or Dallas Mavericks for any period of time you would understand. But I'm not here to talk about that. Though I might say something about MLB, NFL, NBA, and whatever else might come to my mind, but I'm all about MMA. My goal in life is to become the Bert Sugar of MMA, and the jouney starts now.

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.

I'm a huge MMA fan, love to make predictions and write about the sport. I fell upon this site through Facebook and fell in love with it right away. I'm from Montreal, Canada and I'm 21 years old.

I'm training in MMA in Montreal where Georges St-Pierre trains, we have the same trainer. I love it and hope to get better and better. Bleacher Report is great, I've been here for almost one year now and became one of the top writers so I'm really happy about that.

I'm still in school trying to figure out what to do with my life lolll, but for now, I'm having fun so I guess that's the important thing. I'm also a staff writer for Inside Fights and have written articles for Fox Sports and CNNSI.

If you would like to get in contact with me either with a question or just to chat up mma add me on msn at thetruthisalie@hotmail.com or add me on AIM, my name is fireballkidmma.
