404 - What the Hell Happened to MMA?


Listen Later

Luke Thomas is one of the most influential MMA analysts in the game and the host of The Morning Kombat Podcast. I was delighted to talk to him today about

  • How the sport of MMA has changed
  • The rise of Eastern European fighters
  • Why is terrible behaviour of MMA fighters tolerated
  • Can other MMA organisations ever rival the UFC
  • Drug testing in the UFC
  • Fighter unions and the Ali Expansion Act
  • What Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson means for combat sports
  • And more!

And, if you have a second, please follow my two outdoor adventure accounts to make my book publisher happy! https://www.youtube.com/@essentialwilderness and https://www.instagram.com/essentialwilderness should do the trick!

Thanks ever so much,

Stephan Kesting
