The Editor's Note

For a variety of reasons, today is a big day for this site. I'm arguably the most imperfect EIC in history, but I do my best to put everything I have into this site so that someone offers thoughtful, dedicated fans of mixed martial arts a place to go in the blogosphere.

And over time, I think I've succeeded. As I said on the airwaves today, this site has the best commenters of any MMA site on the Internet, period. You guys are a gigantic part of this site's appeal and I'm happy to have every one of you..well, not everyone;)

So, while the change to the new format might take some adjustment, I want to welcome all and thank you for keeping the staff on their toes, offering really smart analysis and giving me the opportunity to read really smart comments.

Thank you so much for making this site what it is, imperfections and all. You've helped to make it grow over the last year and the sky's the limit. I couldn't do it without you.

Thanks!

Seriously, the posters here are great. That is a big reason I come here. No problems with fighter bashing, or bashing each other (except in fun!). You can disagree with each other and it doesn’t turn into a name calling festival. The new format is pretty cool and hopefully it will encourage the continued growth of the site. Congrats!

I agree whole-heatedly. So nice to be away from all the rude coments and B.S. of other sites. If I read the word “nutt-hugger” one more on an MMA site, I’m gonna go nuts!

As for the site, the upgrade is really great as it keeps the simplicity of navigation of the previous site, but makes it even better to comment. A+

This.

I may not participate in the comments much, but this is definitely one of the few places in the internets where respectful debate is consistently maintained. And in a very small way, I’m glad to be a part of it.

Thank us for being good readers? Thank you for being great writers and managing to foster an environment that somehow repels the trolls away!

This place looks a lot different and I mean that in a good way. Bloody Elbow was always like hanging out in a dingy bar before. You didn’t go there for the wallpaper and decorations, you went for the conversations, opinions, and crowd. Well it’s still that way only it has nicer wallpaper and decorations now. Keep up the good work fellas.

Definitely an improvement. BE is still my first stop of the day.

As one of the most critics fans, i gotta say that your blog is very accurate.
I like the staff picks and you guys look like you know what you´re posting.
keep it up.
Best regards,
Bigcherry

well, not everyone;)

Sorry! I’ll make it up to you – you probably live close enough for me to buy you a beer!

Don't believe a word I say, I don't train BJJ.
