Out on the fringes of martial arts two famous people — actor Idris Elba and former professional wrestler CM Punk — have been making noises about competing in professional combat.

Punk has already had one MMA bout. It didn’t go well. Elba, meanwhile, is actively training to compete in muay thai.

Sarah wrote about these for Fightland.

Nocturnal Animals

One of the films Sarah covered at TIFF 2016 was Nocturnal Animals, the story of an art gallery owner’s ennui.
