John S. Nash

I don’t really care that Vox is dropping Bloody Elbow. What I care about is that a lot of people are now wondering how they’ll get paid. What I care about is that stories other sites won’t publish now won’t have a home (although sometimes Vox made sure BE couldn’t publish either)

MAJOR loss for MMA media. The work that the amazing staff at

@BloodyElbow

put forward will be missed tremendously

14 years with @BloodyElbow, 8 as Managing Editor This has been my dream job, but I just got my 30 days notice. BE will no longer be "supported" as part of Vox's latest cuts. I'm gutted as I grew up with the site, but I’ll always be proud of my team & its place in MMA journalism
