Darren's Bio

I'm an aspiring MMA writer living in Ontario, Canada.

I've always been interested in combat sports, and the incredible athletes that compete in them.

I believe in MMA, and want to share my knowledge and enjoyment with the world.

I am a dedicated MMA analyst, and enjoy breaking down the technical details of MMA bouts, while providing further insight into the many intricacies surrounding the sport.

I've trained in martial arts, and am currently training in wrestling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

A few of my articles have made it on to the sportsillustrated website, while I also write editorials regularly for www.fightmania.com

I'm always looking for new writing opportunities, so if you want to give me an assignment or want to send me to an event to cover all the action, contact me or send questions to darrenmwong@gmail.com

Add me to your fan list if you want to follow my future articles.

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

Using your Henderson piece as inspiration... great job with it and I agree 100%, but I still think it's a good move for Strikeforce.
