Cris “Cyborg” Justino
Cris “Cyborg” Justino, the most dominant female MMA fighter outside of the UFC will now be fighting inside the UFC.
Cyborg is too heavy to compete in UFC’s current female weight classes, but the recent success ($$) of Conor McGregor’s catchweight fight has encouraged the promotion to do more non-weight class-based fights.
Hence, Cyborg vs. Leslie Smith at UFC 198.

Conor McGregor
Trash-talking self-promoter Conor McGregor lost a fight recently.
This is cause for contemplation.
Which Sarah did in a piece for Fightland which references not only Ric Flair and Rocky Balboa in his robot-buying phase, but also the 1960 Federico Fellini classic La Dolce Vita.

Ben Affleck
Conor McGregor is very good at inspiring fifth generation Irish descendants to be really irritating in sports bars on fight nights.
Now, the notorious one can also say he inspired Batman.
Specifically, the fighting style used by Ben Affleck’s Batman in Batman v Superman.

Conor McGregor
Irish mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor has gotten really popular for two reasons: 1) he’s really good, and 2) he’s got a really big mouth.
In fact, McGregor’s trash talk game might be better than his fight game.
But how good a trash talker is he really?
Sarah got three academics with virtually no knowledge of McGregor to analyze his best chirps.

Conor McGregor beer
A pub in Dublin, Ireland called MVP and the Brewtonic brewery made a beer in honour of motor-mouthed UFC champion Conor McGregor.
If you’ve tried it, good for you. If you haven’t you’re shit out of lucky.
There isn’t going to be anymore apparently.
Sarah found out why — and why someone would create a McGregor beer in the first place — in a feature story for Fightland.
