My main focus here is MMA. I found bleacher report when searching for rankings of fighters in each division. I looked at some of the typical sites, but then in the search I stumbled upon an article here by Derek Bolender. I read his 5 part series on the top ranked fighters and really liked it. I felt the need to comment so I registered. After checking out the site a bit I realized this was a great place to air my opinions and receive feedback, as well as a great place to keep up with the news on upcoming fights and etc. I got hooked and have decided to stay. I'm an aspiring writer so it works out.

This was a great interview. Very well done. And having such a great interviewee (if you will) as Carwin definitely helps.
Bryan Levick replied…
Thanks Robert, I will be posting my interview with Ryan Bader in the next few days....
This is absurd. No card EVER has come even CLOSE to this many injuries ruining it. I'd honestly consider canceling this dibacle at this point -...
"It makes the most sense to pit both Mitrione and Slice against each other in their next fight. Both fighters have matching styles and love to...

The other thing which I haven't really seemed to try to get across is that I'm...
Sterling Spiars replied…
Yeah, I don't understand that judge.... There is no way Kimbo won every round. I like...
Couture vs Coleman and Serra vs Trigg are both silly fights. I don't know how else to describe them. It's just like... who cares? If Couture...
Yes! RearNaked is back!!! This is exciting. One of the best articles I've read on the B/R. Very insightful. As always, very cleanly written. No more...
As far as being angry goes, I'm really just pissed that I'm not going to get to see Hazelett fight. He's one of my favorite fighters....
Check out my latest article on Gegard Mousasi, based on a recent interview I did with him.
Weigh in on your opinion of him as a fighter and what will happen to him in the future.
