Thanks guys - I think I've managed to stop grinning like a maniac now.

I had hoped to be shooting for Sports Illustrated, but their photo editor deleted my email without even reading it - despite talking on the phone to him just moments before I sent it off.

That said, though, ESPN is certainly more focused on mixed martial arts and they're well aware of just how major an event UFC 75 is going to be. The Quinton Jackson vs. Dan Henderson bout is one of the most hyped MMA events in recent times - we're finally going to see who is the best 205lb MMA fighter in the world - whoever wins the match will hold both the UFC and the Pride FC title for that class.

So far as I can see, the only very minor downside to shooting for ESPN in this manner will be getting my payment in $US via cheque... a combination of the current £UK to $US exchange rate and my bank taking it's cut for a foreign cheque is a bit of a kicker but hey - anything that'll help recoup my expenses is all good.
