About Dwight »

I am a 36 year old father of one with an extensive writing background. A print journalism grad, I currently post and submit writings mostly on the National Hockey League and the Mixed Martial Arts world. I live in Toronto, Ontario Canada and work as a Market Analyst in the Foodservice business. Writing has always been my passion, along with all sports and athletics.

Whats up man. Thanks for the note. Actually if you could let Mike know. I am doing the rankings for Writers 1-15 and he is doing Writers 16-30. I am sure he would like to get your rankings in if you can do it today.

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.

I really loved your article. The only advice I have is to look up the fighter's ages. Off the top of my head I believe Hughes is 34 or 35, Serra 33 or 34, Fedor 33 or 34, and anderson Silva 34. I am not as sure of Florian, but I believe he is older than BJ (30) and is around 32 years old. Since my memory has been riddled by Multiple Sclerosis, I may be wrong, but I am sure they are all older than 30. That was a tremendous article and I too am looking forwards to your fight wish list.
