About Shawn »

Hello, my name is Shawn and I am from the great white north of Ontario Canada. I originally got into mma back in 1998 when a local video store was selling UFC tapes and I mistakenly bought it thinking it was wrestling (my other life long passion). I have since become a die-hard fan watching as much mma as physically possible on a daily basis. I enjoy all mixed martial arts but particularly enjoy DREAM events. If you would like to get in contact with me either with a question or just to chat up mma add me on msn at thetruthisalie@hotmail.com or add me on AIM, my name is fireballkidmma.
