My name is Al Stover and I am the Sports Editor of the Easterner newspaper. I am a journalism major and a fiction writer, who has written anything from dragons flying in the sky, to cage fighting. My dream is to work at a major magazine or newspaper and to become a best selling author.
I am a fan of MMA, boxing, kick boxing, and even pro wrestling. I write and post about anything that involves combat and fighters, including comic book superheroes and villians, because those guys and gals are fighters in their own right.
I also post quotes and other stuff.
Change in plans to combat sports resolution
So because doing write ups of each sport would take time, what I am going to do is watch 400 mixed martial arts matches throughout the year and post the matches I watch in 50 incraments.
