Jeremy's Bio

I currently serve as the lead staff writer for Heavy.com's MMA section, and I'm also a contributor to Fox Sports. It's my full time job, and I spend quite a bit of time traveling to almost every major UFC, Strikeforce or WEC show to provide coverage. I currently live in Houston, Texas, but I'm mulling over a 2010 move to Las Vegas.

I have been following the sport since the early days of the UFC and have been writing about it since 2001.

Hi.

I wrote an article in support of Cecil Peoples.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/280617-support-cecil-peoples

No matter what people think of the decision, vilifying Cecil Peoples has simply gone too far.

I've also created a facebook group in support of Cecil Peoples. I hope that you'll join, even if you disagreed with the decision.

Thanks,

Darren

Hey man, everybody thinks that Shogun beat Machida. Here's my article on why I think the fight was closer than most people realize.

Contrasting opinions, other comments, and feedback are always welcome.
