About Me

My name is Brandon Swedberg, and I am a self-described mixed martial arts (MMA) freak. I love everything the sport has to offer. Whether it is from the pure brutality of the sport or to the simplistic nature of submissions. Every aspect of the sport touches me in someway. The tole the fighters go through in training for the fights is incredible, somewhat inhuman like. Normal society works nine to five days, but in the case of these athletes, their nine to five consists of beating the crap out of training partners in order to prepare for an up and coming fight. Some people in society call the sport "human cock fighting." In some regards it is, but in hind sight it's not. Its much more than putting two people into a cage and having them beat each other up for fifteen minutes. Months and even years of training that fighters do, proves to me, that its much more than a barbaric display of athleticism. In writing this blog, I hope to showcase the strengths of MMA by writing to you, the reader, that MMA is in fact the fastest growing sport in society. My main concentration will be with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and World Extreme Cage fighting (WEC). Both organizations are owned by the same company but differ in many aspects of the sport. I hope to entertain and to create a blog encompassing all aspects of the sport, that will hopefully bring more attention to a growing sport in the world.
