fight breakdown

Islam Makhachev vs. Alexander Volkanovski was a thriling contest where both fighters flipped everyone's expectations arse-over-tits: Mak did very well in striking, and Volko looked extremely formidable in wrestling. It was a razor-close fight where both competitors found a fair share of eye-catching moments of success. Iggy does a deep dive into the moment-to-moment exchanges and techniques performed by both fighters, and talks about points of improvement, tactics and just stuff to watch out for in the potential rematch in general. He also touches upon some of the promotional weirdness surrounding the fight, and the unfortunate situation in which Islam Makhachev may have found himself in a Rocky Balboa-esque Mason Dixon-type conundrum when it comes to the narratives surrounding the fight.

It's time for the Fight Site Boxing Holiday Special! Lukasz walks Iggy, the host of TENGRIDOME (and you, the listeners) through the year 2022 as it pertains to the sport of boxing! Boxing's had a really strong year this time around — maybe not in the area of super high profile fights (Crawford/Spence fell through AGAIN), but consistency: the fights that were supposed to be good ended up being *quite* good, and there were lots of them! Quite a few promising up-and-comers here and there, many exciting performances, and a fair share of barnburners and technical showcases. Enjoy!

Iggy and Silas provide alternate commentary for Dustin Poirier vs. Michael Chandler, in which Poirier handed Chandler his first-ever official loss by submission in his professional career, after a tough 2nd round in which Michael Chandler has cheated and fouled his heart out to make up for the bad knockdown suffered in the 1st. Iggy makes sure to point out every instance of egregious fouling exacerbated by the referee's indifference. The commentary is synced to the moment where Dan Miragliotta points to the centre of the cage to call a start to the bout.

TENGRIDOME is back!! And so is Iggy's alcoholism!!! Cyril Gane was fun! Tai Tuivasa looked technical!! Evolution has no foresight. Complex machinery develops its own agendas. Brains — cheat. Feedback loops evolve to promote stable heartbeats and then stumble upon the temptation of rhythm and music. The rush evoked by fractal imagery, the algorithms used for habitat selection, metastasize into art. Thrills that once had to be earned in increments of fitness can now be had from pointless introspection. Aesthetics rise unbidden from a trillion dopamine receptors, and the system moves beyond modeling the organism. It begins to model the very process of modeling. It consumes evermore computational resources, bogs itself down with endless recursion and irrelevant simulations. Like the parasitic DNA that accretes in every natural genome, it persists and proliferates and produces nothing but itself. Metaprocesses bloom like cancer, and awaken, and call themselves I.
