About MMA-Underground and JP Berube
The MMA-Underground.com site issupported by real MMA fighters, people that train in MMA, and MMA enthusiasts and fans. The diverse perspectives offered in the blogs seem to both appeal to various facets of the MMA community at large, and ruffle the feathers of many others.

The site is run by JP Berube, whostarted out as a developer at the LA Times. Berube started the MMA Blogs experiment at the Times, but was quickly introduced to the folks at CombatWire.com. Since CombatWire.com is a partner site of the Tribune, a subsidiary of the LA Times, Berube is focusing his attention on LA.CombatWire.com and on getting his team's articles and interviews onto the various Tribune sites. Berube, being a religious fan of the sport, also trains in MMA two to three times a week. There is a whole team of contributors to the MMA-Underground.com blog and the list seamlessly continues to grow every day.
