“The Miseducation of MMA Volume 3” - David Potter

Feature

7 Oct

When satire meets spectacle, you get David Potter — and his latest album, The Miseducation of MMA Volume 3, is nothing short of chaos wrapped in genius. Released on September 26, 2025, this final installment of Potter’s wild trilogy is a full-throttle, Broadway-meets-cage-fight fever dream — biting, hilarious, and, at times, uncomfortably true.

Potter isn’t just poking fun at the combat sports world; he’s dissecting it, laying bare the absurdities, egos, and cultural contradictions that define the MMA universe.

Volume 3 feels like a culmination of everything Potter’s been building toward: unapologetic commentary delivered with the confidence of a man who’s seen the inside of the circus and decided to write the soundtrack to its downfall. He blends his trademark humor with sharp social critique, crafting a project that’s equal parts comedy album, concept record, and social experiment. The result? Something that defies easy categorization — and that’s exactly the point.

Tracks like “Charlie Kirk,” “Hulk Hogan in Hell,” “Where’s Ronda Rousey’s Fine Ass At,” and “Fuck Disney” are as outrageous as their titles suggest, but beneath the satire lies craftsmanship. The record isn’t just funny — it’s theatrical, drawing from Broadway-level musicality and genre-blending production that jumps from rap to rock to R&B with reckless confidence. Potter even enlisted Broadway singers and musicians across genres to bring the vision to life, creating a sonic collage that feels as unpredictable as the fight world itself.

“It’s a love letter to not just martial arts, but all the arts,” Potter says. “Is it comedy or cynicism? Maybe it’s both.” That duality runs through the entire album — equal parts reverence and rebellion. Recorded in New York City, the album feels alive with the city’s electricity: ambitious, loud, unfiltered, and deeply human.

Potter has always thrived in that in-between space — where entertainment meets critique. Holding the YouTube watch party record with 6.2 million viewers for the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson event, he’s not just commenting on the spectacle; he’s part of it. The Miseducation of MMA Vol. 3 cements his reputation as one of the most daring, self-aware, and fearless voices straddling the worlds of sports, art, and satire.

In short: this isn’t just an album — it’s a knockout cultural moment. A chaotic, clever, and cathartic ride through the absurd theatre of modern fame. And as Potter bows out with this final volume, it’s clear he’s left the arena not with a whimper, but with a mic drop heard around the fight world.
