Notes -
Fringe? MMA is mainstrean, it's just a normal part of dudes rock normie culture. Several of my friends are into it, and even back in high school sime of them were throwing watch parties for big fights. I went on a date the other week at a sports bag where they were playing a big MMA match and everyone was watching and cheering. The general public, in all times in all places, has enjoyed watching professionals fight. The change is that thirty years ago it would have been boxing, whereas now MMA has mainly taken over.
Rogan and Musk et al. probably just represent average dudeness better than, say, Mitch McConnell, Bill Kristol, Pete Buttigieg, or any other normal mainstream male political figure.
