Part 8/9:
Both Rogan and the guest express enthusiasm for the future of MMA, advocating for more competition between promotions. Rogan emphasizes how increased competition—like the current rise of One Championship—benefits fighters, fans, and the sport overall. Fighters are motivated to improve, fans get more diverse matchups, and the sport as a whole becomes more vibrant.
He notes that the growth of organizations like One offers world-class fighting and challenges the UFC to maintain high standards and innovate continually. The inclusion of top talent from around the globe creates a more global, competitive MMA scene that is only poised to grow.
