Congrats to the newest FightCenter editors curtwag84 and yossgold!!  Both great members of the Tap community and perfect candidates for taking on this kind of work.

First up we've got curtwag who has taken a keen interest in Arab / Middle East MMA and has been buddying up with other editors for a while now to add whatever he can.  Now he's got the full power to own the region directly and I'm sure we'll be seeing all kinds of cool Middle East events.

And then we've got Yoss who doesn't have a ton of MMA in his backyard, but was interested in participating regardless.  Yoss will be taking on the US state of California and doing what he can to bolster our coverage of all the action that takes places up and down the state.

Excellent stuff.  Here is the latest breakdown of which Tapology members are (generally) covering which events:

- Canada: wake99
- Poland, Russia, Ukraine: joe kerr
- UK, Ireland, Nordic, Germany: Ronwah
- Southeast Asia:  WishIsHere
- Middle East: curtwag84
- Brazil: vazio
- Japan & Peru: grizzlyedwin
- New England, New Jersey: poir420
- Pacific Northwest US:  Kpro
- California: yossgold
- North Dakota, Minnesota: benjaminbrandt
- Editor Emeritus:  R1zla

- FightCenter Manager: skelliher

Kind of ironic that we've got an Arizonian covering the Middle East and an Israeli covering California.

@skell, glad I'm not the only one to think that.

Glad it's official guys, welcome to the team!

Great news, congrats to @curtwag84 and @yossgold!

Now you guys make me kind of feel bad, because I don't have any responsibilities here at Tapology, although I'm a long-term member like both of you :-)

Don't fret, Voss. There will probably always be room for contributors. Some will end their watches on the wall, while other areas will open up.

Just what we need, more people to add more meaningless events around the world. This is the most boring sport ever. The only thing to make it exciting was steroids and a lack of drug testing. I think i'd rather watch paint dry.
