Tier Blundell is a PhD candidate in Intellectual History at the University of Oxford - so it may come as a surprise to you that he was once a professional mixed martial artist. Tier joins the VENN boys to tell the story of his rise from a council estate (public housing) to the world of MMA, and then eventually to academia. The conversation includes discussion of educational policy, the cycle of poverty, and pretension in academia.
