End Of Year Recap--2011--

Now that the year has come to a close we can do a fun recap.   In the entire 2011 we wrote 419 articles.  Wow didn't seem like that much but it sure was a ton of fun.  That includes 30 of Jeremy's Picks.  Speaking of Jeremy's Picks..he closed out the year with a grand total of 114-58.  Yes, he didn't do every event.  We do have normal lives too!  He finishes off with an average of .663.  If I were a gambling man I would use those picks because being 66% right is damn good odds! Kidding aside, congrats to Jeremy for an outstanding job and we really do enjoy doing those for you all.

In the midst of all those articles we did 26 reviews aka went to 26 events to cover for you all.  We finally got a system down with putting our pictures into the reviews for everyone to see.  Then we post all our pictures to our facebook fan page which is right around 493 fans.  If you haven't yet please check it out by clicking on the fan page link at the bottom of this article or clicking on the pictures tab in the menu.  Now we don't tag everybody in the photos anymore.  In order for us to do that we have to be friends with everybody and we are always waiting for people to respond back in a friend request which can be a hassle.  Plus there are so many photos on there but the good news is everyone one of you on facebook can tag your friends and fighters in the pics.  If you haven't please do so and help us out.  I am not even going to count how many photos we took but it was definitely over 10,000.


 We brought to you 28 Featured Fighters this year!  We started this in March and agreed on the format and on our questions.  We slowly add new questions when we think of them but right now they are pretty damn fun.  It is totally random in how we pick fighters to do them on.  I personally like to pick people I know completely nothing about so we can all get to know a little more about them together.  Stay tuned for more of these to come!

We did 6 Roll With The Pro's thanks to Gabriel Gladiator Santos.  We apologize for not doing more of these for you but hey it is a new year.  Much more of these to come.  We promise. We did 4 Fight From The Vaults articles.  I would love to do more of these for you in the coming year.  Once more of the videos we store on our youtube get older we will so much more to choose from.  The Artist and the FCAT crew had a blast filming the Premier FC's last year and we are hoping to do more of these this year!  We like to post all the fights we record because then we have huge archive for everyone to just search on the google search on our page.  See there is a method to our madness!  We posted 74 fight videos this year and they weren't all ones we filmed.  Huge thanks to Warrior Nation, Reality Fighting and Fight Stream for posting awesome fights on their Youtube page for all the fans!

Our twitter page has growing rapidly and we are now at 252 followers.  We are a far distance away from Charlie Sheen and Justin Bieber but hey the year is young!  Feel free to follow us at @WesternMassMMA.  We love to tweet back and forth during the UFC and local events with the fans keeping in touch with us.  We also plan to post some pictures from the events live to our twitter in sync with our Live Update posts on the site which are a huge hit.  Obviously we want to see you all at the shows but we know there are times when you can't attend so don't worry we got you covered with the up to date accurate results.

As we can't tell all of our secrets on what new things will be coming this year.  Perhaps because we don't know them ourselves yet! We can assure you that we will continue doing what we have been doing and that is getting you all closer to the cage!  We aren't doing any award articles coming up.  We all participated in the NortheastMMA.net awards and they were very accurate!!  We do however have some entertaining wrap up articles to come this month.  Any suggestions, ideas, complaints please don't hesitate to let us know by commenting on this article.  If you don't feel comfortable commenting please email us with the email provided below.  Thank you all for a great year and Happy New Year from us to all of you!
