Who says heavy can’t be funny? A look at 'unladylike' sports and those who do them, fully unpacking muscularity vs femininity.

Strength can look like a lot of things and comedian Jessica Fostekew investigates some of the most unladylike sports going. In this episode we dig deep into what is probably the most violent sanctioned sport out there - Mixed Martial Arts (MMA to its friends).

Ever wondered who would win in a fight between Kung Fu Panda and Chris Eubank? With the help of top British MMA fighter Shanelle 'Nightmare' Dyer and academic Jennifer McClearen, Jess gets under the surface of one of the most rapidly growing sports in the world.
