Should Breast Size Matter In MMA Weight Classes?

should-breast-size-factor-into-mma-weightclasses-700
There are some profoundly humourless/satire detector disabled humans in the mixed martial arts world.

I mention this mostly to preface a story did for Fightland called “Should Breast Size Be Factored Into MMA Weightclasses?”

This topic is… ludicrous. But some people took it as serious business.

To read what all the fuss was about check out the full story.

Hannibal Lecter’s Combat Skills

Hannibal Lecter, not just a surgeon

Hannibal Lecter, not just a surgeon

Much has been made about literary/film/television villain Hannibal Lecter’s skills at mental manipulation and creative cannibalism.

Until recently, though, most specifically the game-changing Hannibal television series, little attention has been paid to Lecter’s fighting skills.

Sarah analyzed the killer’s punch-kick-ness in a story for Fightland.

How Tom Hardy Became Charles Bronson

One of Tom Hardy’s early signature roles was playing the real-life prison toughie Charles Bronson in the 2008 film Bronson.

To play Bronson effectively Hardy underwent a rather unique workout regime.

Sarah wrote about said workouts for Fightland.

Mike Tyson Has A Bitcoin Machine

Mike Tyson's Bitcoin machine

Mike Tyson’s Bitcoin machine

Former boxing champ/current pop culture wind up doll Mike Tyson apparently has some Bitcoin machines in Las Vegas.

As someone who’s still reluctant to use their debit card this digital currency stuff is well foreign to me.

It’s also foreign to Sarah as well, but she was nonetheless tasked with writing about Tyson’s new venture for Fightland.
