About this listen
MOTHCAST - Unvetted, from MOTH NEWS – The Rise of Far-Right Fight Clubs & the UFC’s Antisemitism Problem
In this episode of MOTHCAST Unvetted, journalist Karim Zidan joins Philip O’Connor to discuss the troubling connections between combat sports and political extremism. Zidan, whose work has appeared in The New York Times and The Guardian, is the founder of Sports Politika, a multimedia platform focused on the intersection of sports, power, and politics.
They explore the rise of far-right fight clubs and how extremist groups are using MMA as a recruitment tool. The conversation also delves into the UFC’s antisemitism problem and the organization’s failure to address growing concerns. With a focus on the power struggles within combat sports, they examine who controls the narrative and what it means for the future of the industry.
