Ep 258TENGRIDOME, Episode 13: Justin Gaethje Revisionism, Margins and Khabib Nurmagomedov

E

Not the most jovial and lighthearted man in Siberia at the best of times, Iggy REALLY started the day off the wrong foot, having been aggravated by the ceaseless torrent of TAKES produced by the MMA community into recording an entire podcast about how one should approach MMA analysis and evaluating resumes. AGAIN. In this episode Iggy does his best to mythbust the trendy Justin Gaethje revisionism that snuck its way into the Lightweight division discourse, and talks about the concept of margins at the highest levels of competition by using the example set by the P4P best fighters in the world such as Khabib Nurmagomedov, Dustin Poirier, and many others. He also tries his damnedest to emphasise the importance of arguing in good faith and staying intellectually honest. AGAIN.
