What's going on guys?

What's going on guys? I'm Mitch Ciccarelli, new to the forums and a new fan of the show. Figured I'd introduce myself to you guys.

I'm actually going to start writing articles for TLOS. I've been in contact with the JDH and have recently submitted an article on the B.J Penn/GSP fight that should be up on the site by Sunday. I also write articles for a site called Audibly Offensive.

I'm 17 years old, long time martial artist (black belt in Shaolin Kempo Karate), but only recently began training for MMA. I'm originally from Long Island NY, and I also lived in Atlanta Georgia for four years before recently moving out here to Las Vegas. I train with Excel Defense Studios out here in Vegas and I'm loving it!

My goal is to start taking amateur fights next year, win four amateur fights and then go pro and continue my quest to be the best.

If you want to know anything else about me feel free to ask. You can add me up on myspace at www.myspace.com/damitch15

also quick question... how can I make my signature visible whenever I make a post on here?

Welcome to the group, Mitch!

As for the signatures, go to "Profile" up top... then click on the "Signature" tab, and put in what you want.

Thanks for the welcome!

As for the signature, I already did that when I first signed up but for some reason it doesn't show up on here lol.

you have to adjust the setting under "options" when you post. "attach signature"

and welcome dude.

Alright thanks I will go do that right now.

Also dude I'm digging the Machida sig, The Dragon is the man!

Testing to see if it worked...

nope, didn't work, it just showed some random signature someone used to have from a year ago.

jk jk

screw you

I'm a pretty big Matt Serra fan if you can't tell already lol.

Hopefully he will fight more often in 09, I don't think he'll be champ again (though that would be awesome) but I think he would do well if he stayed active.

Haha.. Matt Serra.. midgets shouldn't fight at welterweight ..... I KID! KID! I'm like an inch taller than Serra, and I fight at welterweight (actually fought at middleweight in my first fights, lol).

I, too, like Matt Serra.

I wish Serra could drop back to 155, but he says the weight cut is too much for him. He's a big WW, he's short but stocky.

He'd do very well at lightweight though. He wouldn't beat Penn or Sherk, but he'd give the other guys hell IMO.

Some people are just built that way.. I'm short and stocky as well.
