Miguel was joined on the Sports As A Weapon podcast by Dr. Gerald Horne and Anthony “Tony” Ballas to discuss the June 14, 2026 UFC “Freedom 250” event that was staged as an imperialist political spectacle by Donald Trump and Dana White. Dr. Horne, Anthony, and Miguel framed the spectacle as US imperial theater echoing “bread and circuses” and even late-stage Roman Empire decline.

Additionally, Dr. Horne, Anthony, and Miguel discussed the parallels between Dana White and historic boxing promoters, fighter labor exploitation, and the event being used as a propaganda tool for US patriotism and militarization. Also, Miguel posed the question of alleged match-fixing amid the wider boom in sports gambling, crypto payments, and prediction markets, including the alleged leaked viral Twitter exchange between former UFC fighter and now commentator Daniel Cormier and Eric Trump. In the leaked message, Eric Trump sought insider betting information ahead of the UFC event.

The episode conversation also links these dynamics to finance capital, media consolidation, and the crisis of US imperialism. Miguel, Dr. Horne, and Anthony also examined the UFC’s new partnership with an AI military startup called Anduril and the normalization of AI within culture and warfare. To conclude the podcast, they discussed Dr. Horne and Anthony’s article on Whiteness, Jake Paul, and the crisis of US Imperialism.

Is Dana White truly “not a political person”? 🤔 Dr. Gerald Horne breaks down this claim using the intriguing analogy of a casino gambler denying their interest in gambling. With frequent appearances at Mar-a-Lago and connections to prominent political figures, Dana’s stance raises questions. 🎤🧐 Join me, Dr. Horne, and Anthony Ballas for a post-UFC Freedom 250 episode!

The mock shirts came in. I found some small printing deficiencies, so I want to figure out if it was my design file. They came out pretty good though and the shirt material quality is what I was hoping for.

I'm probably just going to keep the design with the original logo that doesn't mention podcast. Let me know what you all think!

Sharing this video from the and Anti-fascist football Coalition on FIFA's lack of consistency and adherence to their own statutes and human rights policy.

The US is allowed to host the games while committing war crimes and do not adhere these so-called standards set by FIFA on human rights. Other countries have been suspended or banned for far less like a goalkeeper faking an injury...but the US is given immunity.
