I am 20 years old and from New Jersey. I currently attend community college where I am a journalist major and an officer of the National Honor Society. I have wrestled since I was 12 and a blue belt in jiu-jitsu under Kurt Pellegrino. I have been watching and following MMA since I was 13 and of course I always root for the Jersey guys! I hope my articles will be insightful and a good read for all.
