Aaron Simpson’s New Website
I normally don’t write about fighter websites, as they are hardly newsworthy, but I have to make an exception for this one. Aaron “A-Train” Simpson (6-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) is probably UFC’s most amicable fighter in addition to being one of the hardest working. A graduate of ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism, Aaron Simpson actually knows how to write and his blog posts and updates are always thought-provoking. The site also features video blogs, including one of Simpson (with his… (Full Story)

Aaron Simpson vs. Ed Herman
Aaron “A-Train” Simpson (pictured left) has revealed his opponent for UFC Fight Night 19, and it appears that he will be facing none other than Ed “Short Fuse” Herman.

I’m not sure what happens when you mix an A-Train with a short fuse, but I’m guessing there’s gonna an explosion in the Octagon on September 16th. Although Aaron Simpson is a world class wrestler, he has won all five of his MMA bouts… (Full Story)
