Who is Elton Hobson?

Is he a floating head and torso that posts on the internet, as his profile picture would suggest? NO SIR! Is he some form of aquatic mammal that's like a combination of a sponge, a submarine, and a Ford Falcon? NOPE, but that would be sort of cool now that I think about it. Is Elton mad about being named after a gay knight? HELL NO because he's actually named after his WW2 veteran grandfather, Elton isn't said gay knight's actual name, and he can play a mean piano so shut up!

Elton is an MMA blogger, writer, pontificator, complainer, bridge builder, bridge burner, and dog handler. That last part hasn't factored in so much in his MMA career. And by "MMA career" he means the two years Ihe's spent writing about the sport for the internet, not actually fighting another man in a cage. Minor distinction, really.

But aside from his world-class, K-1 level writing abilities Elton has also worked as an official, timekeeper, and judge for amateur MMA events. He's done live event coverage and play-by-play for all the big dogs: UFC, Bellator, Score Fighting Series, Mike's Backyard Pit Fightin' Classic - you name it.

And finally, Elton has some strange thing about referring to himself in the 3rd person. But other then that, he's an ace character.
