These people often aren’t shy about letting their opinions about the sport well known.

When Ronda Rousey lost her recent comeback fight to Amanda Nunes it provided some solid ammunition for her haters.

The thing is, being simply pro- or anti-Rousey doesn’t quite cut it.

She’s a complicated individual and people in her sport need to analyze her legacy with a bit of depth.

While 2016 was a pretty shitty year in a number of ways, 2017 is going to kick off spectacularly when The Strombo Show airs its four-hour tribute special to Gord Downie and The Tragically Hip on New Year’s Day via CBC Radio 2.

The special will feature some of my favourite Canadian bands, people like The Dears, D-Sisive, The Sadies, Daniel Romano and Etiquette, almost 50 acts in total, covering songs by The Hip.

I spoke to host George Stroumboulopoulos about the special for an AUX TV feature story.

He told Sarah about it in an interview for Fightland.
