Jad, you have always written with an open mind. I enjoy the fact that not everything has to be about the UFC with you. With that being said, Ive been heading up the Affliction page. I was hoping to talk you into bringing your flavor into that particular community. Would you be so kind as to join the group, and chime in if ever there were a compelling topic that interests you? I could really use your contrasting style. Thanks and take care. TJ

Hey Jad,

If you can do an interview tomorrow at 4 pm ET with Bellator rising star Lyman Good, could you let me know ASAP? It's a great chance to interview a great fighter, and it'll only increase our good standing with Bellator. Thanks.

No problem Jad. As I said, I thought you presented some good arguments. I especially liked your idea having two refs in the cage. What do you think the odds are to ever see that in the future?
