Kieran Tamondong
One of the athletes that Sarah’s benefactors at Asian World Of Martial Arts sponsors is teenage breakout star Kieran Tamondong.
Tamondong did a pile of high-profile things in 2016, but there’s probably no better indicator that he’s on his way than the fact that he was in a Beyonce video.
Sarah recapped his year for AWMA.

Chael Sonnen
When Tito Ortiz beat Chael Sonnen recently in their match at Bellator 170 it was billed as the retirement fight for the MMA pioneer Ortiz.
Throughout their careers both were bigger-than-life personalities whose in-ring successes were matched by out-of-the-ring trash talk and razzle dazzle.
Now, though, as both of them age out of elite competition, the prospect of a fight between the two is more sad than it is intriguing.

Ronda Rousey
When Ronda Rousey lost her recent comeback fight to Amanda Nunes it provided some solid ammunition for her haters.
The thing is, being simply pro- or anti-Rousey doesn’t quite cut it.
She’s a complicated individual and people in her sport need to analyze her legacy with a bit of depth.
