ATSteveDuncan
October 31 marked a rare milestone in the fast-moving world of fight journalism. This past Saturday, veteran writer ATSteveDuncan hit the 21-year mark of delivering combat sports news to fans around the globe. He first stepped onto the beat back in 2005 and hasn’t slowed down since. Over the years, he has built a career around a single, driving goal: making sure Chilean fighters get their names and stories out to the rest of the world.
From High School Notebooks to the Pro Wrestling Beat
Like a lot of lifers in the media business, Steve caught the writing bug early. He started out during his senior year of high school, jumping into the pro wrestling scene for an outlet called Zona Wrestling. It was a crash course in round-the-clock sports coverage, and it set the pace for everything that followed.
It didn’t take long for his work to cross borders and shift into mixed martial arts. Over the last two decades, his byline has popped up on some of the biggest Spanish- and Portuguese-language fight outlets on the web. He has written for Wrestlingdom, MMA Spain, MMA Latino, and Tatame en Español, while also contributing to heavy hitters like Telemundo Deportes and UFC Brasil. For a huge stretch of his career, readers knew him best as a staple at MMA Uno, where he became a go-to voice for daily fight coverage.
Giving Chilean Fighters a Voice
Covering major international promotions is part of the job, but Steve’s real passion stays close to home. Ask him what keeps him going after two decades, and the conversation always comes back to the local talent in Chile.
“I’ve poured my all into combat sports and telling the stories of my Chilean athletes,” ATSteveDuncan said. “If we don’t tell the stories, they don’t exist!”
That mindset is the backbone of his work. In a sport where regional fighters easily get overlooked by major networks, his articles often serve as the official record of their hard work, wins, and sacrifices.
Continuing the Mission at Fajador Media
Back in February, Steve started a new chapter by joining the team at Fajador Media. The move gave him a fresh platform to take Chilean fight news to an international audience. Because Fajador Media was built to spotlight the grit and dedication of combat athletes, his voice fits right in. Reaching 21 years in this industry takes serious staying power.
