Summary
Brendan Schaub breaks down a packed weekend in MMA, including Khamzat Chimaev vs Sean Strickland, JDM vs Carlos Prates, Conor McGregor vs Max Holloway rumors, Jake Paul calling out MMA fighters, and the bigger issues facing the UFC right now.
Brendan explains why Khamzat’s training camp reputation is unlike anything he’s seen, why Sean Strickland may be good for the UFC business, and why this matchup has real bad blood behind it. He also reacts to Jack Della Maddalena’s next fight, Carlos Prates’ danger, Paddy Pimblett’s tough path, BSD, Gable Steveson, Shavkat Rakhmonov’s injury update, Arman Tsarukyan wrestling talk, and possible crossover fights involving MVP and Misfits.
The episode also gets into Dana White taking a step back, the Paramount deal, UFC ticket prices, fighter pay, why the UFC may be losing future stars, and why elite athletes may choose football, baseball, boxing, or wrestling over MMA.
Fighters discussed include Khamzat Chimaev, Sean Strickland, JDM, Carlos Prates, Conor McGregor, Max Holloway, Paddy Pimblett, Jon Jones, GSP, Cain Velasquez, Jake Paul, and more.
