“This place is packed… and I think in a couple of years, we’ll consider this a failure by those standards.” 13 years ago this week, UFC 148 capped one of the most iconic buildups in MMA history—Silva vs. Sonnen II, a rivalry and rematch fueled by tension, trash talk, and transformation. UFC 109, 112, 117, 126, 136, and UFC on FOX 2—each event a chapter, each moment adding fuel to the fire to the rivalry. The final act was set for the UFC’s inaugural International Fight Week, where everything would come to a head. At UFC 117, Chael dominated 4.5 rounds until Silva pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in MMA history. At UFC 148, there was no comeback—just a statement. But through it all, this quote from Chael after open workouts with Ariel Helwani sticks with me: “The whole sport is different, as I’m sure you can attest to, since you’re a veteran of it. But, you know, it changes. Ya know, from that day we talked (at UFC 117)—we were in a gym, and there weren’t very many people there—and it was still a big hit…This place is packed, and I think in a couple of years, we will consider this a failure by those standards. So, the whole sport changes, and I’m happy to change along with it. And yeah, it does feel different, but I think it’s normal to feel different.” This interview had it all—Chael revealing how a call from Renzo Gracie made him rethink his entire approach to promoting the rematch, his mom being in his corner for the fight, Anderson Silva’s stark change in demeanor, his unexpected “beef” with Mike Tyson, CM Punk, and reflections on how far the sport had come—and how much further it would go. In hindsight, UFC 148 wasn’t just about a fight. It was about legacy, evolution, and the momentum of a sport stepping further into the spotlight—inching closer to earning respect from the mainstream—and we’ve all seen just how far MMA has come since that day in July 2012.

Recently, on Chris Williamson's podcast, said it's "not true" that "there are only two sexes" in humans. He also claimed that "there are people with male brains in female bodies, and conversely." I'd like to address both claims directly to help clear up some confusion. THE SEX BINARY First, Eric used the terms “sex” and “gender” interchangeably, and when prompted to clarify he explicitly claimed sex (as well as gender) was not binary. He brought up people with intersex conditions as the reason why he believes this. But the existence of people with rare intersex conditions does not in any way negate the reality of the sex binary. That’s because the sex binary simply means “there are only two sexes,” and this is true because there are only two types of gametes. Males and females are universally defined by the gametes they have the function to produce, with males producing small gametes (sperm) and females producing large ones (ova). The sex binary does not mean “everyone is either male or female.” This may seem overly pedantic, bit it’s an important distinction. It may be possible that a person can be so sexually ambiguous as to defy categorization as either male or female, but sex ambiguity is not a third sex. The existence and prevalence of complex DSDs or so-called “intersex” conditions is irrelevant to the question of how many sexes there are. So, on this point, Eric is simply confused about what sexes are at a fundamental level. There are only two sexes because there are only two types of gametes—sperm and ova. I agree with Eric that we need to be compassionate and accommodating of people who might be sexually ambiguous. But claiming it’s “no true” that “there are only two sexes’ is definitely not the way to go about this. Apart from being incorrect, it carries a tremendous amount of baggage that I believe Eric and I would both agree must be avoided. BRAIN SEX Lastly, Eric said he believed it’s true that "there are people with male brains in female bodies, and conversely." Again, I believe this is rooted in a fundamental misunderstanding about what sexes are. Simply put, brains do not and cannot have their own sex that differs from the body. Whole organisms have a sex, individual organs do not. However, it is true that various body parts and organs can differ in the degree of how masculinized or feminized they are or appear. Hands are a great example of this, as their morphology is sensitive to in utero testosterone levels. As a result, some females have very masculine looking hands, and some males have very feminine looking hands. But no matter how masculine a female’s hands may be, it would never be correct to say that she has “male hands on a female body.” The same goes for brains and any other organ or appendage. While the brains of males and females can vary in the degree to which they are masculinized or feminized, it is never the case that a person can possess the brain of the opposite sex, even if they deeply feel that way. Eric, I’m a fan of yours and believe you possess tremendous insight on many topics, but I think you need to give this specific topic some more thought. I would be more than happy to chat with you about this if you’re ever interested. I think it's extremely important. Watch the whole podcast at the link below. 🔗

These two clips side by side make the contrast impossible to ignore. The first clip with Dana White and Ariel Helwani ahead of UFC on FOX 2 in 2012 shows the version of Dana that I believed was the best sports promoter in the world, and it wasn’t anything crazy, just fully locked in on the event like a passionate fan who happened to run the company. Four minutes off the cuff. Passionate. Deep in the weeds. Breaking down the top three fights with inside knowledge, behind the scenes context, and real storytelling. No teleprompter. No polish. Just genuine care about selling the fight and in tune with the fans. Now compare that to the Israel Adesanya vs Joe Pyfer announcement we got yesterday. Read off a screen. Flat. Disconnected. Like checking a box on a to do list. And I believe the timing also matters. UFC on FOX 2 was early in the FOX deal. Adesanya vs Pyfer is early in the Paramount deal. One feels like someone who could not wait to tell you why the fights mattered. The other feels like someone who could not wait to move on to the next agenda item. And I know these are not apples to apples. One is a pre fight scrum and the other is a fight announcement. But honestly, you could substitute almost any interview Dana has even done recently about the first Paramount card and the contrast would still be there. This is what the UFC and Dana specifically used to be the best at. And it is exactly what they are missing right now. The problem is, the UFC machine runs just fine without it. 🎙️: Ariel Helwani UFC on FOX 2, 2012 🎥: UFC YT January 2026
