Luke Thomas reflects on his departure from MMA Fighting and celebrates those who are redefining the long-running website.
Thomas announced his departure from MMA Fighting in July 2019, bringing an abrupt end to two programs he anchored: The MMA Hour and MMA Beat. 2018 and 2019 also saw website stalwarts Ariel Helwani, Chuck Mindenhall, Marc Raimondi and Shaheen Al-Shatti migrate to outer outlets. MMA Fighting has bounced back well under veteran leadership and the enthusiasm of new employees, but some fans were concerned about the site initially.
“Of course, I was worried about the site,” Thomas said on the SBN MMA premiere of The Insiders (video above).
