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.

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 address is terrybyrne2@gmail.com.

    Flying Knee commented on It's Official: Dan Henderson Signs with Strikeforce
