UFC 267 was a damn good card! Aside from one outrageous instance of downright criminal officiating, it had great momentum, dramatic finishes, and all-around great fights that certainly deserve an in-depth look. However, as good as all those fights were, they suffer from the fact that they took place on the same night during which Petr Yan hosted a bonafide striking masterclass against Cory Sandhagen. In part one of his breakdown of UFC 267, Iggy recaps the fight, breaks down some of the standout moments, and tries to put into words just how and why Petr Yan was able to dominate one of the finest strikers of his division.

For quite a while now, TENGRIDOME served as a platform for exploration of fight analysis from a "bird's eye" perspective: what it is, how to do it, and how to communicate it. Much of what Iggy and his guests do on any given episode can be called "meta-analysis". Well now is as good time as any to test some of the postulates explored and explained in the previous episodes, and use the established methodology to evaluate and analyse a specific case study. This is "Solving a Problem", and today's case study is Tyron Woodley. Tyron Woodley and his career have been discussed many times before by other analysts and outlets but it always felt like all these disparate viewpoints lacked completeness: the evaluations were of either a purely statistical nature — highly dependent on limited and at times inaccurate data, and thus of questionable overall validity — or a purely narrative one, highly subjective and dependent on the analyst's historical understanding of combat sports, theoretical knowledge and practical know-how — all of which are bound to be affected by so many variables listing them all merits an entire discussion in itself. This discussion seeks to paint a fuller picture, and create a more complete and comprehensive evaluation of a fighter's career and skills using all of the above described sources of knowledge and analytical methods, and hopefully it will provide an illustrative example of the Fight Site's combat sports analysis methodology.

Poverty fetishism and glorification of hardship or "savagery" are very common amongst fight fans, especially when it comes to fighters from the former Soviet bloc — for example figures such as Khabib Nurmagomedov or Petr Yan. Above all, this phenomenon is emblematic of a worldview commonly promoted in the collective consciousness of the wolrd's populace primarily because it benefits the status quo established by the ruling elites. It also annoys Iggy to no end.

People get into martial arts for many different reasons: for some it's just another way of staying in shape or getting fit, for others it's a lifelong passion that defines them as a person. Some people learn how to fight simply because they have to. However, there are certain stereotypes and common myths associated with martial arts, even to this day, that have snuck their way into MMA. Join Iggy as he dives deep into the idea of honour in martial arts and examines just how justified is the reverence many people tend to exhibit towards the art of fighting. To help him dissect this topic, he is joined by analysts Tommy Elliott and Julian Lung, both of whom have plenty of first-hand traditional martial arts and combat sports experience to provide qualified, in-depth input. This discussion was prompted by the following question from a discord patron @SunshineSprkl69: "Why are fight fans obsessed with this prelapsarian ideal of the humble warrior and the true martial artist?"

Sriram is joined this time by TENGRIDOME host Iggy, and they look at the results from one of the bigger shows of the year -- as Conor McGregor's leg gave out in the midst of a catastrophic first round against Dustin Poirier, Gilbert Burns found a solution to the Wonderboy Problem, and Sean O'Malley did all the classic Sean O'Malley things (good and bad). Plus, they look at next week's main event -- top-controller Islam Makhachev, teammate of the great Khabib Nurmagomedov, looks to keep his status (in the eyes of many) as a de facto top 5-er by beating the surging ATT prospect Thiago Moises.
