2019 has been packed with good fights. Some have added to fighters’ legacies, some have announced the arrival of a new player on the scene. Check out part 4.

The Year in Fighting: 2019 is a book that I am illustrating while concurrently writing & illustrating MMA Squared. It’s a more sober, artistic endeavor about what happens inside the cage, letting go of the hype trains, PR disasters, and marketing angles. Let’s look at part 4.

Here’s a look at a full page, with Askren/Lawler, Santos/Blachowicz, Zabit/Stephens, Sterling/Rivera, Woodley/Usman, Sanchez/Gall, Johnny Walker/Cirkunov

I hope you enjoyed this look behind the scenes. I run a pay-what-you-want Patreon which will have regular updates from the book. Take care of yourself and I’ll talk to you next week.
