Who is Fighter-- Casey Meinberg

I don't remember many of the "firsts" in my life. But the first mixed martial arts fight I saw will always be crisp in my memory.

It was Ultimate Fighting 6 on July 14, 1995.  David "Tank" Abbott ran across the octagon and knocked out John Matua in 20 seconds. I couldn't believe what I just witnessed and watched the show until the end. Since that day, I have been hooked on fight sports --- everything from mixed martial arts to jiu jitsu and more.

I played a lot of sports growing up and have taken a few martial arts lessons here and there in different things.

But my niche in the sports world these days is watching, talking and typing.

It's the athletes' jobs  to compete. Mine is to spread the information.
