Jordan Breen

A native of Halifax, Nova Scotia, half of Jordan Breen's life has now been lived as an MMA obsessee. The MMA dilettante started at Sherdog in June 2006 as a reporter and feature news columnist, before joining the Sherdog Radio Network in June 2007 to launch “The Jordan Breen Show.” Sherdog's Administrative Editor since October 2010, Breen is also the curator of Sherdog's FightFinder, reinforcing his love of esoteric fightsport. Breen's words have appeared everywhere from ESPN.com, the New York Times, Tatame Magazine, Portal do Vale Tudo and Fighters Only Magazine, as well as in the commentary booth for Strikeforce and Tachi Palace Fights. A graduate of the University of King's College with a concentration in sociology, Breen is as preoccupied with competitive violence as much as anyone could be without veering into sociopathy.
