Luke Thomas: Piers Morgan recently interviewed Dana White about the UFC's hands-off free speech policy following the controversy of Bryce Mitchell and ahead of UFC 312 featuring Sean Strickland. While the discussion around the UFC's decision to never punish or distance themselves from fighters who say controversial things is framed as a way to preserve speech ideals, the reality is a bit more complicated. 🔥Become a Luke Thomas Channel Member here: https://www.youtube.com/lukethomas/join 🔥SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/lukethomas 🔥MERCH: https://luke-thomas-store.creator-spring.com/ 🔥CONTACT INFO: ✅Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/lukethomas.bsky.social ✅Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/lukethomasnews ✅Email: lukethomasnews at gmail dot com ✅Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0bE8pzpywDdm8cqzAZDuv8 #danawhite #piersmorgan #lukethomas 9:14

Luke Thomas: Jiri Prochazka defeated Jamahall Hill at UFC 311 via third-round TKO and did so by making big improvements to his game. The interesting results, however, came from California's athletic commission, who showed Prochazka barely added any weight between the day of the weigh-ins and the day of the fight. Is Prochazka destined to be a future UFC middleweight champ? Luke discusses the implications of this news.

Luke Thomas: Can AI really replace human judges? The answer is we might be closer to finding out that never. I spoke with Allan Svejstrup, the founder and CEO of Jabbr, a company at the forefront in statistics in combat sports as well as AI judges in the sport of boxing. In the interview, we discuss what Jabbr is and does, where combat sports statistics are header, the future of the “Jabbr cam” and how it aims to revolutionize training plus how their AI judging works and where it could be deployed. #lukethomas #aiboxing #boxingai 🔥Become a Luke Thomas Channel Member here: https://www.youtube.com/lukethomas/join 🔥SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/lukethomas 🔥MERCH: https://luke-thomas-store.creator-spring.com/ 🔥CONTACT INFO: ✅Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/lukethomas.bsky.social ✅Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/lukethomasnews ✅Email: lukethomasnews at gmail dot com ✅Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0bE8pzpywDdm8cqzAZDuv8 48:35

Luke Thomas: UFC commentator and podcaster Joe Rogan recently said on his show that training jiu-jitsu will help facilitate having a libertarian political philosophy while discussing Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's foray into the sport. As Luke Thomas explains, however, there is no evidence jiu-jitsu has any partisan political valence in terms of the lessons the sport confers. In fact, numerous political figures in history like Fidel Castro with baseball have tried to suggest sports have discrete political ideologies, all of which have been shown to be nonsensical. #lukethomas #joerogan #bjjhottake 🔥Become a Luke Thomas Channel Member here: https://www.youtube.com/lukethomas/join 🔥SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/lukethomas 🔥MERCH: https://luke-thomas-store.creator-spring.com/ 🔥CONTACT INFO: ✅Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/lukethomas.bsky.social ✅Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/lukethomasnews ✅Email: lukethomasnews at gmail dot com ✅Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0bE8pzpywDdm8cqzAZDuv8 13:15
