Ronda Rousey
UFC fighter Ronda Rousey used the ESPY Awards to unleash a cuttingly perfect burn on monied boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. and his predisposition towards domestic violence.

Mary Spencer
Canadian boxer Mary Spencer has quit literally had to fight for all her successes.
And fight through defeats.
The Olympic boxer didn’t make the Canadian national squad that’s participating at the Pan Am Games right now, but Spencer has been using that missed opportunity to do some good.
She’s been doing demos and mentoring at the Aboriginal Pavilion.

The band Creed’s Scott Stapp
There’s a new Rocky film called Creed coming out focusing on the next generation, specifically on Rocky Balboa adversary/trainer Apollo Creed’s son.
There’s also a bad Christian rock band called Creed.
There’s also, also, now a “petition” from the musical Creedmunity declaring the film Creed is abusing the Creed name and should be changed.

Conor McGregor
High flash Irish fighter Conor McGregor has been making a name for himself both with his fists and his mouth lately, with his winning streak and shameless self-promotional streak propelling him to a title shot versus UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo on July 11.
Perhaps more legacy building than the opportunity to win the title belt, though, McGregor has now been immortalized in song.
Folk musician King Daniel wrote the song “There’s Only One” about McGregor.
Sarah spoke to King Daniel about the song for Fightland.
