This post will just give a little insight as to why I've started this website/blog, why I love mixed martial arts and what you can expect from my posts!

When I was younger I would often watch UFC on spike and The Ultimate Fighter with my dad, and I've always had a huge interest in the sport. I was never able to afford the pay per views when I was younger and i sort of just stopped watching. That was until a few years ago when it was impossible to miss the headlines the UFC was making with the likes of Ronda Rousey and Conor McGregor. But, even then I still didn't watch very often. That was until UFC 200 when Jon Jones and Brock Lesnar were slated to make their comebacks. I knew I had to see that, so i found a way. I called around to local sports bars and found out that Buffalo Wild wings was showing the fights. Ever since then I go there for just about every UFC pay per view. I also watch most of the Fight Night cards on FOX. On occasion i'll order a card at home but thats usually just if theres bad weather and im worried BW3's satellite connection will go out. Which is why I watched UFC 214 Jones vs. Cormier 2 at home, couldn't miss that.

Getting back into the UFC led to other MMA based things like Bellator, UFC fight pass for old content and Pride fights but the biggest thing that I discovered was the Joe Rogan Experience! I love it. Not a day goes by that I dont listen to atleast some of a podcast. I have learned so much incredible stuff from JRE its unbelievable. Listening to Rogan's podcast and hearing him constantly reiterate the benefits of training and learning martial arts, I took a leap and joined a MMA gym near me and I've been taking Muay Thai for about 3 or 4 months now.

MMA has changed my life in many ways in just a few short years, I can't wait to talk about it on this platform even if nobody is ever actually listening. THANKS
