Biography

I write mostly about the UFC, along with the other promotions. Once in a blue moon I cover boxing, kickboxing, and BJJ. I came to MMA as a boxing fan. Watching old clips of Chael Sonnen's masterful and hilarious trash talk on YouTube was how I got interested in the sport. Pretty soon I was hooked and have made it my profession now.
