Mixed Martial Arts Rocks! I've been a fan of fighting since I was in my mother’s womb. I came into this world fighting and I’ll no doubt leave it fighting. I studied martial arts under my father since before I could walk and have been in love with all aspects of hand to hand fighting ever since. I studied martial arts under my father who was a brown belt in Judo and Karate, blended with his own style of street fighting, since before I could walk. When I finally found out there was something out there more than boxing I knew I’d become addicted. Watching and talking about all things MMA is something I do anyway, so writing just seems like the next natural step. I currently train at Rilion Gracie Jujitsu Academy, where I welcome all comers (as I am currently a white belt. With one stripe).

Brimage vs Hettes is the UFC 152 Preliminary Bout to See

Brimage vs Hettes is the UFC 152 Preliminary Bout to See

With all the problems and criticism Dana White and the UFC have had over the last couple of months, a heavily stacked fight card is needed to boost up fan morale and with UFC 152, White helps to do just that.
