1:51:32Now PlayingThe Ultimate Fighting Championship, also known as the UFC, was once viewed as "human cockfighting" by the late senator John McCain. In January of 2001 Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta acquired the UFC for $2 million. Today it is worth over $11B. With all the money and fame, the sports league has shown a notable shift in their business model, allowing hate speech from their fighters and seeing their events be used as propaganda for Donald Trump and his administration. In this episode we discuss the UFC nearly going bankrupt, the manosphere, Dana White's blind loyalty to Trumpism, and how the UFC takes advantage of their fighters. My guest is MMA journalist Luke Thomas. To support Luke follow the links below.
