Cher Supports Nick Diaz

Cher

Cher

Controversial mixed martial arts fighter Nick Diaz was recently suspended from fighting for five years by the Nevada State Athletic Comission because he smoked pot.

This sentence, especially relative to not nearly so severe sentences the Commission hands out for using performance enhancers, is one of the great injustices in the sports world right now.

So great is its offense that even pop star Cher has weighed in on the scandal. She’s pro-Diaz.

Ronda Rousey is regarded as one of the biggest badasses on the planet, so it’s not all that surprising the professional fighter/occasional movie star is interested in playing the role of Captain Marvel, one of the Marvel comic universe’s biggest badasses.

Marvel, for their part, have noticed Rousey’s campaigning for the role.

Sarah wrote about what one Marvel exec said about Rousey potentially playing Captain Marvel.

Should Breast Size Matter In MMA Weight Classes?

should-breast-size-factor-into-mma-weightclasses-700
There are some profoundly humourless/satire detector disabled humans in the mixed martial arts world.

I mention this mostly to preface a story did for Fightland called “Should Breast Size Be Factored Into MMA Weightclasses?”

This topic is… ludicrous. But some people took it as serious business.

To read what all the fuss was about check out the full story.

Hannibal Lecter’s Combat Skills

Hannibal Lecter, not just a surgeon

Hannibal Lecter, not just a surgeon

Much has been made about literary/film/television villain Hannibal Lecter’s skills at mental manipulation and creative cannibalism.

Until recently, though, most specifically the game-changing Hannibal television series, little attention has been paid to Lecter’s fighting skills.

Sarah analyzed the killer’s punch-kick-ness in a story for Fightland.
