The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
The second piece from Sarah’s The Man From U.N.C.L.E. quadrilogy from the last week or so was an analysis of the fighting techniques used by the spies in the U.N.C.L.E. film and television show.
What she learned was that the original Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin had a bit of Royce Gracie-like flair to their combat skills.
You can read the full story by heading over to Fightland.

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. rebooted
The Risky Fuel household is many things. Among them: It’s the safe harbour for one superfan of the 1960s spy TV series The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
And so it was with much trepidation that our Sarah undertook reviewing the new Guy Ritchie-led film adaptation of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. for Consequence Of Sound.
Her conclusion? It’s probably not a movie for fans of the original.

Misha Cirkunov
For all its size and bluster, the city of Toronto has yet to truly have a breakout mixed martial arts star.
Think of it as similar to what rap was like in the city pre-Drake.
Misha Cirkunov, a fighter recently signed by the UFC, is hoping to change that.
Sarah wrote a profile feature about Cirkunov for Fightland.
