I have closely followed the UFC and fallen in love with the sport after watching Dan Henderson Vs. Michael Bisping during UFC 100 back in 2009.From there my knowledge of the sport has grown from strength to strength which led me into creating my own successful MMA blog of which I still post regularly on to this day. I am now a freelance writer and MMA contributor here on FanSided.
