About this listen
In an era of cultural shifts, Modern Gladiators explores the rise of the fighter archetype in today’s media and politics. Figures like Joe Rogan and Dana White bring the UFC to massive audiences, while President-Elect Donald Trump, a longtime fan of wrestling and UFC, connects with influential voices like Lex Fridman, both an intellectual and BJJ practitioner. Through appearances on popular platforms like Rogan’s and Fridman’s podcasts, Trump taps into the cultural appeal of strength, resilience, and authenticity that fighter figures embody.
This book delves into why these personalities resonate with a society hungry for unity and tenacity. Modern Gladiatorsexamines the modern allure of unfiltered “fighters”—from UFC champions to outspoken commentators—and reveals what these figures symbolize in a post-woke world.
This book may be for you if you’re curious about the rising influence of combat sports, passionate about cultural resilience, interested in how figures like Rogan and White shape modern media, or eager to understand why the spirit of the fighter captivates us today.
