Sorry to hear about your Mum payne - my sincere condolences to you and your family.

My dad passed away last month too but we weren't that close so not too much of a shock until I was left having to organise everything. Almost back to normal now. Hope you are starting to get back to normality too...

Sincere condolences to both of you.

The site was always going to get quieter if there were no new members, things always happen and people cant always post regularly. I still check the site very often but I barely follow MMA these days apart from UFC top of the card fights and ONE FC.
I'm back in the UK now after more than a year away so at least i'll be able to watch the fights on tele!

Came online to see if the plan was still for me to run it and saw that Ging had started it already, cheers Ging, I'm sure there will be the same number of people who will compete, hopefully anyway

condolences to both Ging and Payne too.

Thankg Ging. Condolences to both of you.
