MMA writer from Melbourne, Australia. I fell in love with combat sports watching boxing with my dad in the late 90s. Discovered MMA at some stage during the Ortiz-Shamrock rivalry and was instantly intrigued. I've trained in Muay Thai on-and-off over the years, but used the prolonged Victorian COVID lockdowns to complete a diploma in sports journalism as a way to channel my passion for the sport
