Summary
Brendan Schaub answers fan questions on this episode of Big Brown Breakdown, breaking down some of the biggest topics in UFC and MMA right now. Brendan talks Conor McGregor’s legendary world press tour with Jose Aldo, why it may have affected Aldo mentally, and how McGregor changed the fight business forever.
He also dives into Sean Strickland, fake UFC beef, Khamzat Chimaev’s biggest issues after the Strickland fight, and why Khamzat’s problems may be deeper than cardio or weight cutting. Brendan compares Khamzat’s current path to GSP after the Matt Serra loss and explains why the situations are completely different.
Other topics include Brock Lesnar vs Francis Ngannou, Ronda Rousey’s legacy, Joe Silva stories, UFC fighter pay, why belts don’t matter like they used to, Joshua Van’s future at flyweight, wrestling in modern MMA, potential White House card matchups, and whether the UFC should have more draws.
