Jon's Bio

Jon is a graduate student working on his Masters Degree in writing. He is a fan of all sports Minnesotan, but ranks mixed martial arts as his favorite sport. He was a late bloomer to MMA, not really getting into the sport until the Tito/Shamrock feud began, but doesn't really feel like he missed much leading up to all the ado.

Depending on what article you read, Jon is between 5'4"-6'8", between 120-320 pounds and may or may not be a member of the Communist party. He is single/married/divorced/widowed and enjoys drinking in the dark.

Jon is also the first winner of the Bleacher Report Humor Bowl, which he attributes either to not being held enough by his mother, or a little too much by his "uncle".

Please direct any complaints, marriage/divorce proposals or recipe requests for Jon's Ultimate Bloody Mary to bleacherjon@live.com

A-Rod vs. Brett Favre. What would happen?

Its that time again. Time for the 3rd edition of B/R MMA rankings. We will be ranking our Top 5 fighters in each division (lightweight-heavyweight) and doing a Top 10 P4P rankings.

A few notes: For P4P feel free to include fighters from featherweight or bantamweight. A fighter who hasn't fought in over a year he is ineligible. As far as Rich Franklin and Dan Henderson, Franklin will only receive votes at light heavyweight and Dan Henderson will only receive votes at middleweight. If you have any questions about this feel free to ask. Keep in mind that Diego Sanchez is fighting at 155 at UFC 95. I would lean toward voting for him at lightweight (if he is in your top 5) but technically he is still a welterweight so use your best discretion. please email your submissions to brianc.oswald@gmail.com and in your subject line put: your name and B/R MMA rankings. Thanks for taking the time to vote!

wow ..irish you dah man dude.. now plese let mr slant eyes Anthony from bc have some of that too..

[flag as offensive]

This is a racist personal attack. It violates terms of use article 6-1 and 6-2.

Who else is in charge of BR? Zander has failed to discipline user Stoker for continued racism and personal attacks.
