Hello All, I am new to the community, and have actually been so busy that I haven't really been active here much, yet. I spent most of my life as a professional MMA fighter (fought for the UFC during Season 9 of the Ultimate Fighter), but after a brain injury, I turned to writing and, eventually, received my MFA in creative writing. I'm currently filming (almost finished!) a feature length documentary called "Bottom Feeders," which follows low-level, local fighters and promoters in MMA and boxing. I'm mostly a writer, though. I write everything from screenplays to short stories to novels and memoir. I also teach English at a community college in Phoenix, AZ. Nice to meet you all!
