About Mark Wilkins

Mark has been writing about MMA since 2018, covering technique breakdowns, fighter analysis, and the evolution of mixed martial arts as a sport. His goal is to make complex MMA concepts accessible to newcomers and casual fans without dumbing down the technical depth that experienced practitioners crave.

His background spans Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and wrestling, and he has competed in regional grappling tournaments across the Southwest. When he is not training or writing, Mark spends his time analyzing UFC fight cards, hitting the heavy bag, and rolling at his local academy.
