About David »

Life long martial arts enthusiast, I have practiced Karate as a child and later Judo, before getting into Basketball and Soccer. I was a casual mma fan from about 2002 to 2006, then i was hooked. I am also an avid fan of bball and soccer, and a casual Football and Tennis fan. But MMA is what im mainly preoccupied with lately. My education is in finance and economics. I have always found solace in writing, though I had never really explored it for one reason or another. Research on the net sometimes led me to B/R so after checking it out a few times i decided to become a member. I trully enjoy all things MMA and always welcome anything mentally stimulating.

My fourth article was a collaboration with Brian Oswald, for CNNSI. You can check it out at:
