    BritMMA caught up with Jay ahead of his first Pro bout :) Here's a snippet of what the Kamikaze Lightweight Semi Pro Champ had to say.

    I know it's a big ask, but could you maybe give a quick background on these fighters styles (likes to strike, plays guard, etc, etc, whatever).

    I love what you do, but info is scarce.

    Hey man. No worries; for every fighter I post the link to the articles on here, I'll give a little background :)

    Jay was a very good amateur. He's well rounded, but probably better on the ground. He was the Kamikaze MMA Lightweight Semi Pro champ, but fights at Feather as a Pro.

    Here's a video of him: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nO_aCkV8Xuc[/ame]

    He's also a reporter himself, and writes for FIGHT! Magazine and YourMMA.

    If there's any fighters from previous articles you'd like a bit of background on, please let me know :) As I say, in the future, I'll do it for all of them. All the best!

    Thanks, I guess it is my fault as I don't always click the links.

    Do you have any sort of official capacity in UK MMA, or just a fan like the rest of us?

    I suppose I'm just a glorified fan really that likes to give some exposure to the guys who are perhaps less well known :)

    I've written for FIGHT! Magazine, Fighters Only, Boxing News (Mag) and now I just wanted to break away, do my own site, and make it mahoosive in a short space of time :) So far, so good :D It's been going less than a month, and it's going really well :D

    Thanks for the interest!!! :D

    Wait a minute, this is an MMA forum, we can't have civil discussion!

    Your mother is a *****.

    There, normalcy.
