This is just an excuse for adult pro-wrestling fans to think that it's not made for kids. This is just sad.

MMA Injuries You'll Never Be Able to Unsee

I am currently completing two Masters degrees, in Psychology and Social Sciences, with the Open University. I also hold a BA (Hons) in Sociology/Psychology.
I currently live in Hamilton, Scotland. Although, I was actually born in Inverness, making me a true 'Highlander'.
I contributed to SaddoBoxing.com for several years, interviewing the likes of Carl Froch and Ricky Hatton. Unfortunately, my interest in the sport began to wane and my output suffered as a result. This led me to become the site's copy editor while I waited for my interest to be revived. This never occurred, so I pursued an academic career instead and continue to do so. Fortunately, mixed martial arts filled the void that boxing left in my life. I am passionate about the sport and how it should be communicated.

Thanks for informing everyone that Fallon Fox is a real women, transgenders are real women.
Absolutely. That's what I'm here for.
No problem, James. Thanks for the great read!
I have to say I appreciate your intelligent articles about Fallon Fox. It's refreshing to hear someone think critically about a unique situation instead of jumping on the bashing bandwagon. Thanks for that.
You agree Mitrione crossed the line so what are your thoughts about the rant Joe Rogan went on about Fallen Fox? Why didn't uncle dana take on the "voice of the octagon?" Oh ya, Rogan and White are buddies! The UFC has had it in for Mitrione for about a year or so and this was their sleazy way of getting rid of him! Un-suspend Mitrione or else suspend Rogan, too! MAjor double standard going on and I don't like it one bit. Dana has been gradually turning into a royal asshole and I believe he is burnt out and in need of an extended vacation if the UFC is to keep it's reputation intact! Mitrione may have crossed the line but if he did, then Joe Rogan did as well! This is utter CRAP!
Hey, James. How do I sign up to get notifications whenever you drop another article?
Hey James, you're welcome - and yeah, I've noticed that in British books. I'm pretty sure that the American rule is the B/R rule in that case, even though we leave British spelling alone. Just one of those confusing quirky things!
Ok... I read your Kos vs Diaz comment and my head about exploded when you predicted a 3rd round armbar. In Diaz 26 wins he has had three third round submissions - Jeremy Jackson (4-5 losses by sub,) Josh Neer (5-12 losses by sub) and Scott Smith (4-10 losses by Sub)
Each of these guys has proven to be weak to submissions, whereas Kos has 1 sub loss dated back to 2005... Statistically if it goes to a third round its going to be a decision, looking at the fighters records diaz has lost the majority of his decisions while Kos has won his, if you were going to predict anything, based off statistics it would have to be a 1-2 KO for Diaz, or a decision win by Koscheck.
Its not just you a lot of analysts predict 3rd round finishes for fights and every time I want to scream. While it happens once in a blue moon it should never make it onto an analysts report seeing as how freakin rare it is...
I'm an avid MMA fan and an intelligence analyst so seeing this drives me crazy lol (no insult to you seriously, I plan on grilling each person I see post something like this)
Not a problem, James. Thanks again for your hard effort and attention to detail!
You're welcome, James! Ah, those pesky serial commas. Keep up the good work!
