Hi Hywel,
Awesome Blog! Insane pictures! You recently posted a response on 164mph.com (the forum just got taken down) regarding a story about the Web site I recently created called http://www.mmaViking.com. It’s basically a campaign to bring the UFC to Stockholm, Sweden. You said that you recently wrote an article or story about “Vikings”? Can you tell me what issue # it was so that I can backorder this? Also, if there are any photos I could use (and credit you of course, with a link to your site) on the site, it would be much appreciated. You can contact me at olearysd@yahoo.com. Thanks again for the site, and you just got one more subscriber to Fighters Only magazine.
Cheers,
Ryan O

Hi Hywel (again),
Thanks for the info you sent me last month regarding the magazine. Your staff there was helpful and responsive, too. I wanted to let you know that I did pick up last months magazine (with Tito on the cover) at the Arlanda airport in Sweden. The magazine is great. Last night, I was at Pressbyrån (a convenience store here), and picked up the latest mag (with Rampage on hte cover). The “Ghetto Superstar” article and pictures of Rampage are great, and insightful. Thanks again, and look forward to seeing your pictures of UFC 89.
Cheers,
Ryan O
