Market Misunderstanding: Inadequate appreciation for how combat sports careers integrate athletic competition with entertainment, media, and business development.
Cultural Disconnect: Insufficient recognition of how cultural authenticity and cross-cultural bridge-building contribute to professional value and market appeal.
