Ring Rust

It's been a while since I dropped some thoughts here. Too long, in fact. A lot has happened in MMA since last fall and I've been content to take a backseat. But not forever.


Blogging is difficult for me sometimes in that I struggle with things to write about. Especially from a commentary perspective. Keeping a busy personal schedule allows little time to write, and when it becomes more of a chore than anything else, I find myself losing interest.


Part of the problem with this blog in particular is simply, I set the bar too damn high. Having to do PPV reviews is trying as hell. For one thing, I don't order every single one. For another, sometimes it's hard to make it to the local sports bar on any given weekend. So that leaves me relying on friends who order every fight and DVR them. So tough.


But, I still love the sport, and since last fall dragged with event after event and few ramifications, things finally began to kickstart this spring. We've had two new UFC champions crowned, WEC's debut on PPV, one legend stare retirement in the eye and another finally taste defeat. Not to mention possibly the best UFC show in years with 116.


So, I feel like it's time to dust this sucker off. Instead of reviews, I will continue with commentary, which is where I really feel I'm strongest. This will also afford me the opportunity to write at my own pace, as opposed to feeling consistently under the gun to review PPV's within two or three days.


Hope you're still kicking out there.
