Rose Namajunas wins at UFC 217

The title fight wins by Georges St-Pierre and Rose Namajunas at UFC 217 recently weren’t just exciting victories. They were exciting victories for those who care about the dignity of mixed martial arts.

The pair both used their wins to talk about bringing respect back to the sport. It’s arguably something that was missing during the short blip that was the Conor McGregor cut-rate pro wrestler period.

The Prisoner And Kosho, The Mostly Fictional Martial Art

In Sarah’s beloved 50 year old spy television show The Prisoner it features a mostly-made up martial art known as Kosho.

“Mostly” because there are a few real-world examples of people trying to bring to life this single-boxing-glove-wearing, grapple-on-trampolines conceptual martial art.

Sarah actually managed to track down someone who has tried to compete in “real” kosho and asked him what it was like in her first piece for Jet Li’s very good website.
