“As odd as this may sound (and I do have a point), Mike Straka is the interviewer’s interviewer. He asks the questions that his peers hear and say “man, I wished I asked that.” What that means for his readers and viewers is that they’re getting the real stories from the fighters and not the usual cliché material. Mike truly takes you behind the scenes of the mixed martial arts world, and while he’s got a great rapport with the athletes, he’s not afraid to ask the tough questions. That’s a mix that’s hard to find these
days.”-TOM GERBASI, UFC Editorial Director
“The first time I met Mike I knew he was going to be one of the soldiers that helped us spread the word of MMA to the world. You just don’t come across people with the type of passion Mike has for this sport.” – DAN “PUNKASS” CALDWELL, President/Co-Founder TapouT
“Simply put, Mike is one of the best in the business. His is a voice worth seeking out – on television and in bookstores.” – JONATHAN SNOWDEN, Best-selling author of Total MMA and The MMA Encyclopedia
“Mike Straka is a world-class journalist who parlayed his love of MMA and his interviewing skills into a highly successful career. His relaxed, friendly nature helps the biggest stars in MMA open up to him and reveal things they don’t anywhere else. He’s a top-shelf interviewer and analyst and I’m proud to be able to call him my friend.” -KEVIN IOLE, Yahoo! Sports
“Mike Straka! AKA Strakakhan, The Strak-inator, His-Strak-ness, Strak-alicious, Strak-atorium – He had the first show (FOX Fight Game) to have real coverage and a real studio! He wasn’t just some guy holding a camera and a microphone for JoeMMAdotcom! We felt like we were making a lot of headway when we did his shows because it was either at his Fox studios in NY, or he showed up with a 3 camera/audio crew and knew his business.” – TIM “SKYSKRAPE” KATZ – TapouT Co-Founder

In GRRR!, Celebrities and Other Reasons We’re All In Trouble, Straka vents his frustrations with the everyday rudeness and selfishness of our fellow man and woman. With his Grrr! Lexicon, Mike has defined, in a humorous way, the mannerisms that inspire teeth-grinding, road rage and office wars.
“Grrr! Is a common-sense rundown of the everyday, a voice to vent the frustrations of the everyman, mixed with a dash of celebrity for the ever-curious.” – GREG GUMBEL, CBS Sportscaster
“No one knows more about more things than Mike Straka, and that comes through every time I take in the Strakalogue. He has a way of connecting with the everyman by treating the rich and famous with respect without awe. He hustles so you don’t have to! If Straka is in the title, it’s gotta be worth your time.” – BRIAN KILMEADE, Fox & Friends cohost and bestselling author of The Games Do Count
