WAKAFIGHTERMMA is my own unique brand of mixed martial arts coverage designed to stay honest and true to the sport and the fighters.

WAKAFIGHTER writes and covers mixed martial arts with Bruce Lee and his fighting/life philosophy always at the tip of the pen. I analyse the fights and tell the fighter’s stories, I don’t report the TMZ type stuff.

I have been a credentialed media member for the UFC, Bellator, Score Fighting Series, TKO and all the regional mixed martial arts promotions and shows in North America.

I also write mixed martial arts in any medium including:

Scripts / Screenplays / Novels / Short Stories / Manuals
