James Gilliland

Mixed Martial Arts columnist James Gilliland is a central valley native and a graduate of Fresno State with a Bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Journalism.

He knew he wanted to be a journalist since high school. During Gilliland’s senior year, he knew he wanted to be a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) broadcaster after watching the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

He has been a life-long fan of combat sports and is now learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to know more about MMA.

His dream job is to be a commentator for the UFC. James is currently the weekend editor at CBS 47 On Your Side.

Aside from MMA, James loves playing his Xbox 360, watching stupid movies, reading comic books and learning random information. For example, the plastic end of a shoe lace is called an aglet.
