  1. I think your first podcast went really well. I enjoyed hearing about what was going on with all the different fighters and the general state of female muay thai in Thailand. Maybe that could be a regular segment of each podcast.
  2. The International Olympic Committee has revised their guidelines for transgender athletes. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/transgender-athletes-olympics_us_56a5bc6ee4b0d8cc109a8e9 There was a great discussion on the Ronda Rousey thread about cisgender and transgender women competing together.

  8. That's too bad. I definitely had some issues with regard to how they thought female fighters should present themselves but it was great to see a promotion focusing on women and hosting all female cards.
  9. Lionfight 14: Jorina Baars vs Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino Lionfight 20: Jorina Baars vs Chantal Ughi
  10. SPONSORED MUAY THAI FIGHTERS: EXPLOITATION OR MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL? Article from Sumalee Boxing Gym's blog talking about their criteria for sponsoring a fighter and what benefits the gym and the fighter receive from the sponsorship.
  11. FightNetwork has a very interesting podcast/video series called the Mentality of Combat Sports. MMA fight analyst Robin Black discusses confidence, mental toughness and other topics with sports psychologist David Mullins. Full playlist here. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLr7REBc1Y94_jCzlltyiJ5G584WWFc6fI
  12. Finally got to see the installation today. It was awesome to see in person. So much going on it was hard to take it all in. I found that if I stood facing a corner of the room it was like watching a split screen with a closeup/highlight of the fight on one side and the main fight on the other. The soundscape was very minimalist, just the grunts and breathing of the fighters, the sound of gloves hitting flesh, and feet shuffling on canvas. No music or background crowd noise. Natalie Fuz's low kicks sounded especially dramatic, really hard, sharp slaps.
  13. Natasha Sky has a video on her face book of a ginger concoction she uses on her shins for bruises. https://www.facebook.com/396482173770626/videos/vb.396482173770626/740537932698380/?type=2&theater
