"Rosenberg to retire Aug. 8," July 28, 2003, Los Angeles Times, retrieved May 27, 2017 Rosenberg coined the term mixed martial arts, or MMA, in his review of the first Ultimate Fighting Championship event UFC 1 in Los Angeles Times on November 15, 1993.
Rosenberg's daughter, Kirsten Rosenberg, co-owned a vegan bakery in Washington, D.C., called Sticky Fingers and is currently the lead singer of the all-female Tribute act The Iron Maidens.
Rosenberg drew some controversy in a column soon after the September 11 attacks, in which he said that George W. Bush appeared "stiff and boyish." This led to requests for him to be fired and he stated that he received letters calling him "Osama bin Rosenberg" due to the controversy. On the Media Interview
