About Flying »

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 taking up another martial art upon the start of the new term. Haven't decided which one, though.

If anyone wants to email me, my new address is terrybyrne2@gmail.com.

    Hey Flyin,

    You can get the em—dash in a couple of ways. In Windows, hold alt key while selecting 0-1-5-1 on your number pad. In Mac, select shift,alt, and dash simultaneously—or just cut and past a dash.

    Hey Flyin. Nice piece on the "history of ultimate fighting". You had me checking the title to make sure it was a humor piece when i read ultimate fighting.

    Anyway you may also want to have your article tagged with B/R chatter. It will expose it to additional readers, that may otherwise miss your entertaining read.

    Cheers.
