Shawn's Bio

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.

I am going to do an opinion poll on favorite and least favorite MMA fighters. So if you would like send your 5 favorite and 5 most hated fighters to my e mail. Every vote for ravorite gets +1, every hated vote gets -1. At the end I will tally up the votes and do the 10 most popular and least popular fighters in MMA. Send your list to Sir_Cottier@yahoo.com if this interests you.
