2011 was quite the year for Women's MMA. We saw a lot of things in 2011 we didn't think we would ever see. From the sale of Strikeforce, to a new Champion in the 135lb division, to an earthquake that shook Japan but also our WMMA community. 2011 was quite the year. As far as the SchenkMMA blog goes we saw a lot more posting this year then from the years before. We actually increased our followers by 3 this year. I know 3 doesn't seem like a lot but hey we had 1 follower in 2009, 3 followers in 2010, and 6 followers by the end of 2011. Step back folks if we keep growing at this rate we might break 20 followers by 2014. :)
But hey at the end of the day it doesn't really matter how many followers we have or how many posts we can post in a year what matters the most is the friends we have been able to make along the way. We here at SchenkMMA are thankful for each and everyone of you that choose to follow us and interact with us in real life and on Twitter and Facebook. We are truly honored and thankful to be part of the WMMA Community and hope that each day that goes by we can work with each of you to make this community the best it can be.
Ok, Ok, I know get off of your soap box and move on already. :) One last thing I wanted to leave you with was the Top 3 Posts on SchenkMMA for the year 2011. When I went back and looked at the numbers I really couldn't believe it myself but here they are.
In 1st place in 2011 - Our sit down conversation with Miesha Tate. This post has had 9,062 hits in 2011. "Thank You" Miesha for taking the time out of your very busy life to sit down and chat with us for a couple of minutes we truly appreciate it.
In 2nd place in 2011 - Our posting of the NAGA schedule. Who would of ever thought this post would get 1,814 hits in 2011. We wanted to say "Thank You" to the NAGA association for all that they do and for the great events they put on each year. We had the chance to go to a few of these events in 2011 and they are truly very professionally run.
In 3rd place in 2011 - Our interview with Cindy Dandois. This post had 977 hits in 2011. "Thank You" Cindy for doing this interview with us, and thank you for your willingness to speak to us even though you didn't know who we were when we reached out to you. You truly are a class act and a great ambassador for the sport of WMMA. Last but not least Congratulations again on your new baby, and for the conversations we have had though out the year we are truly honored to call you our friend.
So that's it. If you are still reading this then we want to say "Thank You" to you for your support and for your willingness to listen to what we have to say. WMMA and MMA are truly the best sports on the planet and we are thankful to be a small part of it each and every day.
