a guillotine & triangle choke are completely different & look different no matter what side of the cage you're on (the legs & arms of the choker are doing vastly different things).

you say you "have absolutely no vested interest in any fighter", yet the only fight you tape (or tape & post) is jake's? if you taped more of them, you wouldn't have to rely so much on your "copious" notes or your memory. i actually have sat (correct that, stood) through 16 to 20+ fights, taking copious notes & accurate, mostly un-biased evaluations & results. and if i was going to write a piece on the events could have done so quite easily w/in 8 hrs of said events.

my lack of respect for your writing stems from it showing your lack of knowledge of the sport, but your apparent unwillingness to state you're new comer status. just like in dec. when someone told you that my fight was canceled because i was 5 lbs under. you didn't question the statement & wrote that i didn't make weight – that is not a minor detail considering how disrespectful not making weight is to your opponent. people whom i've told who don't follow combative sports knew that didn't make sense. and, instead of correcting your statement (by replacing "janna" w/ "jessica"), you merely took it out entirely and/or wrote in a comment that it "was scratched".

i am not a self promoter, so no, there isn't much press or hype around me. i also have a s*%$load of other things going on & haven't seen the point of promoting myself when all i have is my training. marketing isn't exactly my thing either.

I was seated next to the judges table. When the action is on the far side of the ring it's not always easy to see exactly what the move is. So I've corrected jay's run down to include that it was a triangle. I'll leave your own impressions about the fight with Jody, not worth arguing that.

The fight with you and Jody was billed as your debut. So in that respect you are a new comer to the Rumble. Before writing my piece on Jody I tried to find any information about your career in the sport and came up completely empty. There isn't even a resource out there (myspace, facebook, website) in which to contact you at. Had there been I would have loved to interview you before the fight to have both sides of the bout covered.

You did look in fantastic shape for the fight, also referred to you as a tough opponent in the interview. Which you were. You fought a good solid fight.

What do I have for Jake Morris? I think he "gets" it. He's an explosive and dynamic fighter who adds just enough showmanship to hook the crowd in and make them fans. I also think he has some of the raw elements to become a professional MMA fighter, I think Chael sees that as well as it seems like he's mentoring the kid. I have absolutely NO vested interest in any fighter. But I do have ones I enjoy watching, as does anyone who covers the sport.

Instead of lambasting me for some of the fine details here, I'd think you'd appreciate the fact that this write up is THE ONLY COVERAGE of the entire event ANYWHERE. I have a ton of respect for what you do, how hard you work and what you do in the ring. But I think that respect should be mutual. You try to sit through sixteen fights, catch every detail, keep copious enough notes on each part of each round to put together a piece on the event and have it up within 8 hours of the event.

I'd expect any fighter who is working to build a name for themselves to appreciate that hard work. After all google: Janna Piper MMA and you'll see who comes up.

and for the record, i am not a new comer. jody is a new comer. i've been training in this sport since 2000 & decided to fight nearly three years ago. this is the first time i was able to actually get a fight. jody got very lucky to have two fights in less than a year. i've had four fights fall through for me in less than a year (3 for the fcff & one in japan – tho' that was boxing). otherwise, my debut would have been last sept. (2 months before jody even started training).

weren't you the one who said that my fight w/ jessica in dec. was canceled because i didn't make weight (because i was 5 lbs under the limit)? did you happen to notice that i weighed in even less this time around & that wasn't an issue because jody made weight (she was under the limit as well).

and what is this thing you have for jake morris? as a reporter, you really should be less biased. it would be nice to have more coverage of the fights, especially by someone who actually understands the sport & can actually give a more accurate description of said events.
