I've always been a massive fan of DJ. Back when I was still doing a weekly MMA podcast, he was one of the fighters I could text and he'd happily come on my show whenever he had a big fight coming up, even though I wasn't from a major network or outlet. One of the most down-to-earth fighters I've ever spoken with I'm glad you got to experience 48 hours with him.

Fantastic profile on a seemingly fantastic guy.

Great piece! Just a small typo here:

But I’d never had “he” chance to really get inside the head of the flyweight prince. Keep it up!

I can relate. In almost every pro wrestling story I've written here I've ended up telling one of my own stories as part of it as I reminisce.

Great personality profile and I especially liked how you told your narrative on him through the perspective of spending time directly with him! Through your words, you really personalize him beyond just the fighter we saw on TV.

Thanks! That's kind of you to say.

Many of the stories here are kind of secretly stories about my stories. Just a fun way to reminisce a little.
