The Heel Fighter: Promotion & its Consequences

Send us a text


In this special unscheduled episode Jamie Clubb looks at the
fallout of UFC 229: Khabib vs McGregor and takes a look at the
relationship between promotion and professional combat sports.
Hatred, charisma, wit, irresponsibility, theatre and hype are all
ingredients that have helped create some of combat sport's most
colourful characters and ensure they have become a part of
history. But why are we still outraged and surprised when
fighters step over perceived lines? What choices do we
have?
