Jake Shields returns to break down how the fight game has evolved since his 2010 UFC debut. From matchmaking and promotion to fighter pay and global expansion, he shares what’s changed the most inside the Octagon.

We also get into what kind of personality and fighting style could truly breathe new life into the UFC, the shrinking presence of American stars and what that shift means for the sport’s identity, and whether a UFC event at the White House could realistically happen.

Plus, Jake opens up about who he might’ve become if he never stepped into MMA.
