Since it's a slow day in the world of MMA, I thought it would be cool to talk about Tapology and ourselves.. anything at all regarding the same.  I'll get a brief start going..

I live in PA, am 30 and have been a fan of MMA since I was a teenager.  Work for the railroad and rarely ever miss an event regardless of promotion/stature.  I like Tapology b/c of the environment it fosters.  I wish we could edit/delete our posts... maybe have categories of threads for the forums, but all in all, I appreciate the type of place this is thus far.

Been a member since January 2011, had a bit of a layoff on the sight cause i was really busy working as a counsellor. But I have returned with a vengeance and i am also currently training for doing my first grappling tournament in July. I've just turned 24 and I currently live in the Cayman Islands. Been a huge fan of mma, and ufc in particular since my second year in university. I can proudly state that I am a UFC fanboy, and I even have the tattoo to prove it!

the following is an excerpt from an article in my local newspaper about the Cops arresting a homeless dude;


"He began to struggle with both officers as they tried to place him under arrest. The first officer punched the man twice in the face, then took him to the ground with an arm bar and leg sweep, according to the report."

Not sure too many of the cops where I live are throwing arm bars and legsweeps unless they have dieted a lot recently.  Some out of shape guys that look like bookworms, lol.

Someone flagged a comment today from a post that was made in Feb of this year.  I found that interesting.
