Guest Series #9 - MMA Institutions with HaXxorIzed
The incredibly insightful @HaXxorIzed joined me to discuss the failure of MMA's institutions to reliably scout, develop, and manage athletes. We compare MMA to other, better functioning sports and do our best to explain how we got here and where we think the sport is heading if things don't change.

Related about learning Marcus McGee was a skateboarder and how the UFC isn't good at promoting it's fighters. A perfect example is Morgan Charriere. I can't remember the specific fights but one fight has Sanko mentioning that Charriere was told by UFC to make a better effort to promote himself online. Then either the next fight or a couple fights later, Sanko is mentioning how Charriere said he needed to take a break from posting on social media and focus on fighting. UFC can't even do its definitional job as a promoter.
