Kristen King

Hey! My name is Kristen King and I am a recent college graduate with a passion for mixed martial arts. While I don't think I would ever compete in MMA (Is there a weight class smaller than Atomweight?) I'd like to help it become more well-known and prove to people that women can flourish in such a male-dominated sport. Hopefully, my writing and input can do just that. To keep up with the contributions here at FanSided, follow @KristenKingMMA on Twitter.
