Tony's Bio

I'm a currently pursuing my Bachelor's in Business Management. After finishing my undergrad I plan on attending law school and hopefully becoming a sports agent specifically an MMA agent. MMA is the sport that I follow the most and write about the most. Also I follow Detroit sports since I live in the Detroit area.

Weigh in on your opinion of him as a fighter and what will happen to him in the future.

Hey man, I looked at a couple of your articles, and they look good.

Just a few tips on improving your ranking, if you're interested:

#1. Add pictures to your articles in the future.

#2. Make your titles catchier - give the reader a reason to click on your article.

#3. Make some of the other titles more specific "Who's next," "What's Next" doesn't really give enough information to interest readers.

#4. Work on catching the reader within the first sentence, because that's what shows up on the B/R frontpage.

Good luck with your continued writing, and of course becoming an MMA agent. That sounds pretty much like a dream job.
