About

I was accidentally thrown into the world of mixed martial arts since in the midst of its semi-embryonic stage in 2005 when I first caught a glimpse of Forrest Griffin vs. Stephan Bonnar live at the inaugural "The Ultimate Fighter" season finale in an obscure dorm room upstate.

Since then, my fandom turned into a career and I have since been published with several magazines and have worked with the likes of MMAJunkie, MMAWeekly, and now Bleacher Report.

    Hey if Overeem does to jail who do you think will be next in line for a title shot? I was thinking Mir or Cain...I think thatd be an interesting article for you to write about, and maybe do a breakdown on each fighter vs JDS.

    Just work on hyphenating those compound modifiers and you'll be fine.

    Hey what do you think about this latest trend of body shots ending the fights? are the fighters just uneducated in defending them?

    hey i was wondering what a Dan Hardy Vs Matt Hughes breakdown from you would look like..i mean hardy is pressing it hard so its possible although still unlikely.

    Hey Brian, just read your latest piece on who should be fighting for the StrikeForce WW belt. Great read.

    I was curious to get your opinion, on whether these top prospects should be fighting. And if any prospects with bright futures in any division or weight-class should be matched up against one another.

    I believe this automatically gives one of them a loss (obviously cause only one can win) so why not keep tested them against others to keep improving both of them. Like when the UFC put on Jones/Bader, I was completely against it.

    Just wondering, do you believe a fighter's record in MMA or the UFC matters. I mean do you think it hurts their legacy and possibly their rankings in an all time list? Especially with the records of Randy Couture, Mark Coleman and Tito Ortiz.

    Haha ... forgot about Diet Nog. I always get those twins mixed up, so I always open up Wikipedia when I have to edit a reference to one of them -- never mind two of them on the same card. Thanks again ...
