It’s no secret that former two-division UFC champion Daniel Cormier always keeps a watchful eye on the best wrestlers coming up in the United States. As a two-time Olympian and current coach of a high-school wrestling team, Cormier stays close to the sport he grew up loving before becoming a fighter, but it turns out he actually interacted with a future American gold medalist several years ago and didn’t even know it. Primarily training out of the American Kickboxing Academy in San Jose, Cormier crosses paths with a lot of fighters, Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioners, and wrestlers who also work out at the gym — and that included future 2024 Olympic gold medalist Amit Elor.

Screen legend Elizabeth Taylor, who died in 2011, was a pioneering advocate for the LGBTQ Community long before it became fashionable to do so. As fate would have it, three of Taylor's dearest friends were closeted gay male Hollywood icons: Montgomery Clift, James Dean, and Rock Hudson. All three men died in tragic ways. Hudson died from AIDS in 1985, while Clift and Dean died in a very eerily similar manner: in car accidents.

A little-known fact is that boxing could have enjoyed a fantastic fight between two warriors, Julio Cesar Chavez and ‘Irish’ Micky Ward. In 1996, the pair were locked into a ten-round fight co-featured by the James Toney vs Montell Griffin rematch.
