Maybe a John betting advice column too lol…You seem to be doing well recently. I’ve said it a dozen times that I don’t bet on principal but I might crack soon. It seems like too much fun…Hahaha. Yeah I’ll lose a lot if I start. I shouldn’t be laughing.

How do your picks compare to Desert Dog’s?

I’d vote for you, John, to be the writer, as long as you didnt get so angry! lol.

I am very interested! Very big fan of the sport and a good writer as well. I would like to know, as i see everyoen else wants to know what the pay is or compensation works?

Id love to give it a shot, in the cali area or west coast, for free if i had to, it would be sweet! A lot of research to do. Im gonna send an email after i cut/paste some of my papers from last semesters speech (Group Discussion) class and write out a nice piecs about my fealings on MMA, some fighters, orgs etc . . . Id even do it on a “when needed” for free basis, nothing permanent.

Posting on a message board or a chat room is not being a journalist…

I am not good at like finding a story and quoting it and all that crap, so I just usually cut n paste it to share withh the rest of u. If you just want me to write about fight/fighter analysis, I could do that all day, Happily!

I dont really have any sources either. I have 1 guy who is pretty accurate and occasionally feeds me some Intel, but not frequently and not recently.

U need someone to analyze fighths or fighters, I am your man! I would also love to do interviews, ESPECIALLY DANA WHITE!!! I would put his ass on the Hot SEAT, u can count on that!

1st Questioon I would ask Dana White: Fedor is a Farce? r u kidding me? I would be all over his ass on that 1! If I ever interviewed him, I would make him pay for that Fedor remark!

U know how I roll, no discussing betting until after I see the weigh ins….Talk to u then!

I think it would be fun to go toe to toe with you on the Leben vs. Bisping fight or other fights that we disagree on (which arent many)

hey mania, I know even though I took 3 creative writing courses in college and have a grasp at how to write and a love for the sport, I probably have no chance at this opportunity. It’s funny you have put this up though, my wife was saying for all the writing I do, I should get paid for it. I only write on this site by the way. This all said, just curious, what are you guys offering per piece? how many pieces are you looking for? My ________ conversations with Kevin are pretty well responded to, and I could do a weekly instead of daily. With me in the bay area, I could also cover san jose and stockton easily, and am willing to travel for events/interviews.

interviews I’d like to do include:
Tap Out crew
diaz brothers
anderson silva
caesar gracie camp
bj penn just to name a few!
