I am an avid fan of the arts, and that include martial arts.  As Homer Simpson would say, I enjoy all the meats of our cultural stew. 

There is something magical about great artists - you don’t need any education to see the   wonder in the works of Basquiat, Monet or Georgia O’Keeffe.  Their greatness is almost intuitively awe inspiring.  
As I watch two fighters step into a ring, I feel that same sense of awe and respect for two martial artists, who have poured their lives and selfhood into a moment in time. 

I relish it all - the fighter’s stories, stories of their pets, learning about their workout regimen and tight bodies. 
The martial artistes all inspire, as well as shame me,  into working out harder. 
Humanity contained and unleashed in its rawest, primal form. 

I hope you enjoy this conversation as I share in the excitement over the upcoming UFC cards in March!
