About

Wrestled since the early age of 3 all the way through college, picked up jiu jitsu in '93, competed in first mma fight in '98, last fight in early '01, no longer competing due to injury, record 7 W, 2 L, 1 D, 1 NC. Still very active in mma world, Personal achievements: I was able to take Tito Ortiz down back in '98! 10 seconds later he reversed it and knocked my damn tooth out! But I was able to take him down and land a couple shots! Then he whoopped my ass! It was an honor just to be in the ring with him.

    It's Been a while since I last wrote an article .

    UFC 100 is over, But were Brock Lesnar's actions positive or negative for the UFC?

    Here are my thoughts. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/217699-brock-lesnar-bad-for-the-ufc

    Thanks, Farooq.

    Just wanted to say that although I think Brock lesnar is maggot afterbirth, I like your writing style and it shows alot of potential. Im gunna follow your stuff and parais/critique it whenever my insane mind feels it necessary. Sound cool?

    Keep up the good work - you have been here longer than I but I hardly ever see you- nice if you participated more you are very talented.

    One suggestion i make to every writer i encounter that has potential is a repeat of advie given to me by a senior editor here at the B/R.

    Try taking yourself out of the article. Dont do lists. Dont say I, I'm, I've, etc... report dont blog.

    Anyway gl man!

    Brand new B/R MMA rankings are currently being put together by myself and Brian Oswald. We're going even deeper into the writer rankings than last time. The top thirty writers are invited to share there opinion. Were looking for your top five fighters to each division. Meaning a 1-5 for each, lightweight to heavyweight. Finally we need a top 10 P4P list.

    Please send your rankings to chode722@yahoo.com. Thank you for your participation and we'll try and get the rankings posted asap.
