Mixed martial arts is a dangerous sport full of hard living people who push their bodies to the max.

Inevitably, some of these bodies can’t be pushed any further.

Sarah wrote a recap piece for Fightland about the various MMA figures who died in 2016.

Letterkenny’s Andrew Herr On Hurt Nipples, Fighting, Crying In Grade School

Letterkenny's Andrew Herr

Letterkenny’s Andrew Herr

One of the comic foil’s on the v amusing smalltown Canadian comedy Letterkenny is the “Jonesy” the hockey player, played by Andrew Herr.

On the show Jonesy is a frequently posturing, not entirely successful tough guy.

It turns out one of Herr’s first fights — an incident involving pinched nipple, crying in front of his classmates and shame — wasn’t particularly successful either.

Sarah wrote about it in a My First Fight piece for Fightland.

How Jared Keeso Almost Ruined The Don Cherry Movie

“How’re ye now?”

This simple phrase is both a greeting and secret code to identify devotees of the best Canadian show on television, Letterkenny.

In an alternate universe Letterkenny star and co-creator Jared Keeso might have never gotten to make his smalltown comedy about brawling and social cliques. That’s because a few years ago he got into a bigtown brawl that could have jeopardized his filming of a Don Cherry film as well as his career.

This winding exposition will all make sense if you head over to Fightland to read the interview Keeso did with Sarah about the punch-up in question.

No doubt with dollar signs in their eyes and dreams of “the next Ronda Rousey” in their minds, the UFC has fed us a continuously fed us a non-stop diet of Paige VanZant in the last couple years.

Thing is, the upcoming fighter isn’t quite ready for that spotlight and the results have been… uneven.

That’s OK, though, says Sarah.

She explained why in a column for Fightland.
