High flash Irish fighter Conor McGregor has been making a name for himself both with his fists and his mouth lately, with his winning streak and shameless self-promotional streak propelling him to a title shot versus UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo on July 11.

Folk musician King Daniel wrote the song “There’s Only One” about McGregor.
Sarah spoke to King Daniel about the song for Fightland.

Southpaw
Jake Gyllenhaal is going to be in a new movie called Southpaw.
Rumour has it Gyllenhaal trained like mad for the role to look legit.

Sarah wrote about this inconsistency for Fightland.
