I can still remember walking up to Josh Samman in Orlando for UFC on FOX 17 last December, and him lighting up at the chance to meet me. It is rare for a fighter to care about those chronicling the game, but he did. He cared about the written word. He empathized with the writer. He became a writer himself. And yet he lived with thoughts that most of his fellow writers would never fully be able to understand. To be honest, it could be uncomfortable to try.
The kicker was that he understood that.
