Back when Jon Jones fought Daniel Cormier at UFC 182 a series of peculiar circumstances required Sarah to order the fight on pay-per-view and watch it with her mother and grandmother.

Sarah explained what this experience was like in a special article she wrote for Fightland.

You may think this weekend’s superfight of the centuryforevermillennium is between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, but it isn’t. Not really.

It’s really about their competing musical surrogates Justin Bieber and Dan Hill.

Sarah wrote about this musical tilt for Fightland.
