Todd's Bio

Proud daddy and husband. I love baseball, the Yanks in particular. I cherish a good little league game. I enjoy writing anything I can about MMA. Roots, regional stuff in particular. I work very hard to spread the word of local events, fighters, organizations, anything MMA. I am a staff writer for Inside Fights working for Jeremy Botter. I am very proud of my accomplishements here on the BR. I am proud to say my work has somehow found its way to Fox Sports and USA Today. Wierd I know. Drop me a note if there is something I can do for you.

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.

The NY Yankees and the media are trying to manipulate you.

Yankee propaganda must be exposed as lies and crushed before it can spread any further.

rampage calls it quits for good...."The UFC has done a lot for me but I think I have done more for them … this movie role came about that I have been trying to get for over a year & as soon as I found out I was close to getting it, I called Dana right away & asked to push the Memphis fight back just a month or so. I told him what this movie role meant to me. I told him that I used to bond with my father watching the tv show as a kid when my parents where still married & it represents the memories I had with my father when we lived together. My dad became an alcohalic & addicted to drugs & we grew apart. But after my dad got his life back together, I was so proud of my dad & I told him I would always take care of him in the future & make him proud of me. My dad & I are still very big fans of the show & I am basically doing this for the childhood memories I had spending time in front of the tv with my dad. Dana went on the internet & mocked me because of that & I still did nothing. Dana & I finally talked & we made up & then after that he went back on the internet & said some bullshit & he was talking bad about the movie when information is not even supposed to be released & talking about payments which is not even true could really hurt my future acting career, which could very well last longer than my fighting career. I’m not like Randy Couture. My body has been getting so many different injuries that I wont be able to fight until my forties & neither do I want to fight that long. So I feel like my second career could be in jeopardy.. so I’m done fighting. I’ve been getting negative reviews from the dumb ass fans that don’t pay my bills or put my kids though college. So I’m hanging it up. I’m gonna miss all my loyal fans but hopefully they’ll follow me to my new career & I will gain more loyal fans along the way. & all you hater fans out there can kiss my big black hairy ass! & anybody that don’t like what I just said can come try to kick my ass! I still feel the UFC is a great organization and I felt like I was very loyal to them but they didn’t respect my loyalty but I wish the UFC the best. I did a lot of things for them. I wish no bad blood between us but I have kids & a family back in Memphis to provide for & thats all that matters to me!"

my opinion is that someone has to earn my respect, granny and me were already established on here when he arrived, he has earned nothing in my opinion, he had Jeremy B holding his hand, constantly guiding him...and a couple times he over stepped his boundarys with GD imo..that being said , its not personal..it's just my opinion from a website sports writer pint of view.
if he had started on her by saying ,'hey im Brian and im new here, please bare with me...
->well that would have gained my respect..but he didn't he immediately put himself in a position of authority, writing checks that he couldn't cash etc..you know where im coming from im sure..as you are progressing at an enormous rate , but you did it by letting your work speak for its elf, you didn't need to be community leader...or pretend to be somebody that is a paid pro. thanks for understanding..
