The Tapout Column

Before anyone asks this has been given permission by XBA.

THE TAPOUT COLUMN​

Basically this is a column run every couple of weeks made by YOU, the loyal MMA fans who keep this section going from strength to strength. So far I have came up with the following ideas for the column:​

|.| Guest Writer - each column there would be a different writer who would writer about a particular issue in MMA, maybe about a promotion, a fighter or maybe a fight.
|.| Preview - for me I would write a preview of an upcoming UFC event, talking about the fights. McLovin
|.| Round Table - collate together a few members and discuss some issues in MMA, upcoming events or news. Host: McLovin 1.MTG 2. 3.​

If YOU would like to be a part of the Tapout Column then reply to this thread, stating what of the ideas you would like to do/be a part of. Or reply with your own idea. I know these things haven't worked before in the past, but I think that with the vast amount of knowledge and opinions in the MMA Section this could work.​

I want to get this thing started as soon as possible. So Sign-Ups will be closed on Sunday January 18, 2009.​

I would definately be up for the round table one.

 

[McLovin]

[xtremebadass]

I can probably be a guest writer from time to time in addition to all this other crap I have to do on IWF lol

I'll definitly back you up on the round tableman and I think this will turn out awesome as we have quite a few MMA Addicts if I do say so myself and this may help get more people into it.

Yeah I'm knew to the whole round table thing so if you want to explain it to me I could run it. Or I could Co-Host it with MTG cuase the dude seems really knowledgeable with MMA stuff. That way you have time to run the rest.

I'll be honest with you, I've never run a Round Table. I think it's kinda like TNA's Spin Cycle on YouTube where the host says a topic and then all the guests talk about it. Sort something out with MTG and yeah you can do that.

possible participant? Hellllll yeah my friend =]

You are in.

may I please write a article?

Of course. Any idea what it would be about?

Guys I think for the Round Table the best bet is to do it on MSN. My msn is alexahgh@hotmail.com

Also what date should entries be in for do you think? January 17, then we can have stuff on UFC93 or January 20? Post as soon as possible.​

 

[MTG]

I guess for the round table well have an MSN conversation and me and jdawg will ask questions for everyone to answer and we'll put in our two cents also?

 

[J]

Yea sounds good to me but we'll have to wait til at least Sunday cuase this weekend is going to be busy for me.
