Acosta's Self-KO: EliteXC and Change

 
Seven years ago, a self-made millionaire bestowed invaluable advice upon me: "Always let everyone else know what you're about—upfront." So before I proceed with my debut column, I want to let my dozens of readers know what I'm about. Just think a Mexican Nobukhio Takada: big in Japan, looks great in ridiculous underwear, and knows how to fix the hell out of a fight. All legendary references aside, making sense of MMA these days is about as easy sitting through an advanced screening of Sex and the City: The Movie. Luckily I am an honor student in sense making school. So get out pen and paper, copying these notes will make you the most knowledgeable keyboard warrior this side of Ben Zeidler. (link)
