Hello Fight Friends, welcome to the first ever episode of The MM-EH Show! The MM-EH Show is the culmination of nearly 2 decades of covering the sport of mixed martial arts in Canada. I covered my first MMA show for Sherdog.com in 2006, then was quickly offered the opportunity to write a weekly column about MMA in the Great White North, which I titled, "MM-eh: News and Notes from Canada." This was a wonderful experience for me, that allowed me to be surrounded by the then-fledgling sport and the people involved, and to meet with incredible OG MMA people like Georges St. Pierre, Jason "The Athlete" MacDonald, David "The Crow" Loiseau, Mark Bocek, Denis Kang, Firas Zahabi, and many more. In this weekly episode I will be talking about what has happened in Canadian MMA in the past 7 days, and what is planned for the next 7 days. This week we were fortunate to have 3 amazing guests. Tommy Morrison and Alex Morgan, who will each be talking about their victories this past weekend at Samourai MMA 9, and Derek Clarke, co-owner of Fight League Atlantic, which held it's 13th even this weekend. I am so grateful that these 3 gentlemen joined me for the first show, so thank you. This is a work in progress and I'm figuring everything out as I go along, so please, please give me your feedback and tell me what you like, what you don't like, and any suggestions I can consider to improve the show. Respectfully, "MM-EH" Andy Cotterill @MMehAndy
