http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/23/magazine/23martial-t.html You know, this would be a better article but for the sensationalism. Shad Smith seems like an alright guy trying to come to terms with the fact he'll never have what Randy and the other UFC boys have. Shad had a juvie record, does MMA and is the only openly gay pro fighter. He also comes across realy welss-spoken and is a scrabble freak.
