My articles in 2021 have mostly fallen into one of three categories: analysis of a current fighter or match, a look back at an old-school fighter or match, or a criticism of the powers that run MMA. The last of these are the most popular and often the easiest to write. However, for my final opinion piece of the year, I wanted to try an inversion of that.
