Chuck Liddell and Rashad Evans squared off at the press conference held earlier today for UFC 88 – Breakthrough in Atlanta, Ga. Rich Franklin and Matt Hamill, who also meet in a light-heavyweight bout, seemed like old friends – and they do go back a ways – at the presser. A great display of sportsmanship, one I see more often in MMA than any other sport out there.

Mixed Martial Arts is exploding - the sport of the future is here. With mainstream media coverage, and fights on nearly all continents, it's now impossible to ignore the excitement, the complexity and the ferocity of MMA.
My name is Ted Czech, and I've worked in York, Pa. for eight years as a police reporter. I've been a fan of MMA since UFC 1 -- seriously -- and I've dabbled in a few styles like karate, kung-fu, taijutsu and submission wrestling. I hope to give some press to fighters from the York area, while also commenting on things happening in the U.S. and beyond. Let's support the sport!
