About Me

MMA fan for LIFE! ...It's pretty much all I think about. There are tons of shows and promotions out there. I'm a huge MMA fan. I've been to a handfull of UFC's with a main event of Tito Ortiz vs Vitor Belfort as my first. I workout and maybe even some day will join an academy or a team somewhere so I can learn what the hell I'm talking about. (That is, when no MMA is available to attend to)
UFC Fighters That I've Judged:
Josh "The Dentist" Neer
Jeremy "Lil' Heathen" Stephens
John "Hurricane" Halverson
Paul Rodriguez
Justin "Pretty Boy" James
Houston "The Assassin" Alexander
Travis "The Ironman" Fulton
Joe "NotSoTall" Jordan
Ryan Roberts

My Interests

MMA. Judging Martial Arts Shows! I've had the pleasure of judging many shows in the past and hope to continue to do so and maybe even get a career out of it. I love watching UFC and other Martial Arts shows. I spend a lot of time readin' MMA websites too.

I'd like to meet:

I've met most of the fighters that I like. Of course, it would be sweet to meet 'em and get to hang out with them a lil' bit. They are just people though, just like you and I.

Music:

My favorite bands could go on forever, but I love Index Case, Papa Roach, Nappy Roots, Tech N9ne, OutKast, Flyleaf, 30 Seconds to Mars, Swollen Members, Three Days Grace, DMX, Marilyn Manson, Lady Sovereign, Linkin Park, TRUSTcompany, Paul Oakenfold, Thousand Foot Krutch, BT, Maroon 5, Three Doors Down, Skillet, Chevelle and Smile Empty Soul.

Movies:

Midwest Cage Championship GreenSparks Fighting Championship Glory Fighting Championships Title Fight Championship Fight Sport Global

Television:

Anything related to Mixed Martial Arts.I don't watch TV, I'd rather spend my time at MMAJunkie.com - The best website of all time... (besides UFC.com of course)

Books:

I've read a TON of good books in the last year from Splinter Cell, Prey, Wicked, Tons of John Grisham books, Tons of James Patterson books, and a LOT of Lee Childs books and a handfull of Martial Arts books including 2 by Ken Shamrock. I recently finished a book called "No Holds Barred" by Clyde Gentry and I would have to say this is the BIBLE according to MMA history. I would recommend this book over any other book if you want to learn about how the UFC and other promotions were started.

Heroes:

Dana White: If it wasn't for him, I dunno what the hell I would be doing.
