Amanda Nunes
After UFC women’s bantamweight champ Amanda Nunes beat Ronda Rousey in the ring she also did some verbal beating on the former champ as well, suggesting that Rousey retire.
Nunes now figures what she said was uncool and has formally apologized for it.
In an age where McGregor Mouth™ is the default for most pro fighters this marks a welcome dignified switch up.

Idris Elba
For fans of Stringer Bell, DCI John Luther or his real-life non-actor personification as Idris Elba, the idea of Elba embarking on a quest to become a pro kickboxer on the wrong side of 40 was… disconcerting.
Idris Elba: Fighter, the doc series that emerged from this journey, however, is entirely real and genuine.
Sarah watched and wrote about it for Fightland.
