    We are going to write another group article, and I am hosting it. The topic will be: "Which combat discipline is best suited for MMA?" In other words, what single style is most effective for making the transition to and being successful in MMA? If you'd like to contribute, please send your entry to semaans@hotmail.com. A short paragraph or two would be an ideal length. Thank You!

    Ok, so the next group article is "Lesnar vs Couture: Who Wins and Why" (title isn't set). I'd much appreciate it if we could get your opinion for this one. As for length, check out past group articles done by Bryan and Ryan, but don't worry too much about guidelines. Just looking for a paragraph or longer. /end generic message

    Send submissions to me at my e-mail: RoBear22591@aol.com
