From standthemup.org, the best damn site on MMA in western PA and Ohio: In one of the most grueling things a fighter can do, Mark Cherico steps into the shark tank with fellow fighters Mike Wilkins, Justin Steave, Rick Borowski, Luke Burdette and Philly Chris at Fight Club Pittsburgh. Cherico is an undefeated (8-0) amateur fighter in western PA, with a bright future ahead of him when he decides to turn pro.
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!
