I have no political ax to grind; I just find it absurd that huge billion-dollar corporations can take over elections.

That, to me, is not a political issue, that's a life issue.

Amanda Seales

It's the coolest show because they just do weird stuff, and it doesn't feel weird; they make it normal somehow, which I applaud. And 'Broad City' - I think those guys are awesome.

I don't think we can fully understand just how much pressure is on these fighters' shoulders once they win the UFC title. It's a grind just to get to the title fight.
