What’s happening in MMA and boxing isn’t growth, it’s consolidation. TKO is lobbying for legislation that rewrites boxing’s foundation. UFC’s planting a cage on the White House lawn. PFL signs Dakota Ditcheva but still lacks real challengers. This isn’t innovation. It’s manipulation.
The media won’t touch it because they’re all bought in or blacklisted. I’ve laid out the moves, the motives, and the money trail in this piece. Would love to hear your take. Is this just where combat sports is headed, or is this the slow death of meritocracy?
