Dear Guy Attending This Live MMA Event
April 23rd, 2008

My new post over at Cage Potato is an open letter to the guy all of us have sat next to when attending live MMA shows, or even just when watching the UFC in bars.

You know the guy I’m talking about.  He’s the one who suggests that the fighters kick each other in the balls.  He’s the one who shouts “stand  ‘em up!” as soon as the fight hits the mat.

I have a few things I’d like to say to this guy, and you can find them here.

In other news, Matt Hughes strongly suggests that you wear a mouthpiece.

    Dude, you gotta get the CP guys to put your name on the posts you do for them. There are dudes posting comments who think some guy named “Mikey” is writing your stuff.

    Are you ghostwriting for them or what?

    I’m working on it, Cat. It’s just hard not to sound like a prima donna when demanding a byline.

    In journalism (even on the Internet) bylines are your life. Especially on a site where a bunch of different people contribute. You’re not a prima donna just because you want credit for your work.

    To paraphrase Matt Lindland: When you’re the man, you don’t have to run around screaming about how you’re the man … but you do have to put your name on your stuff.
