Back in the day In Living Color was the funniest show around what with Homey The Clown and such.

The show also frequently liked to showcase sketches related to the fighting arts with Mike Tyson parodies, ninja appearances and peculiar self-defense classes.

Sarah jumped into the wayback machine and assessed all of these old fight-related sketches for Fightland.

Barb Honchak And Her Marvellous Unicorn Shirt

Invicta FC’s flyweight champion Barb Honchak successfully defended her title against Japan’s Takayo Hashi on the weekend.

And though Honchak won by decision, not chokehold, it’s still a worthwhile enough reason to revisit the pre-fight interview Sarah did with her for Fightland.

They talked about all sorts of things, but most important was probably Honchak’s official t-shirt: “Every time Barb Honchak chokes a bitch out a unicorn farts a rainbow.”

Young attempted a comeback fight at last weekend’s Invicta card.

Sarah interviewed her before the event for Fightland. Read the story by clicking here.

Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld has set his sights on the boxing ring with a series of fight-inspired Vuitton items including a heavy bag and boxing gloves.

Considering Lagerfeld refuses to exercise in real life this appreciation is… peculiar.

So Sarah wrote about it for Fightland.
