Summary

Brendan talks about his daughter’s progress and why it put everything else into perspective, then shifts to a long breakdown of Gable Steveson, his potential future in the UFC, and whether Jon Jones is the right mentor for a young heavyweight prospect. Brendan compares Jones to other all-time greats, discusses mentorship versus talent, and explains why greatness inside the Octagon doesn’t always translate to guidance outside of it. The episode also covers the current state of the UFC heavyweight division, matchmaking challenges, prospects versus veterans, and what it really takes to reach a title shot. Brendan touches on boxing news, Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Jake Paul’s rankings, pay-per-view changes, fighter pay, and upcoming UFC storylines. This is a classic Schaub Show episode — honest takes, fight analysis, and real perspective from someone who’s been there.
