Summary
Brendan Schaub breaks down the current state of the UFC and why things might be heading in the wrong direction.
From Ronda Rousey’s explosive comments about fighter pay to the disappointing UFC White House card, Schaub dives into what’s really going on behind the scenes. Is Dana White still in control, or are corporate executives now running the show?
The episode covers major topics including Jon Jones potentially leaving the UFC, Francis Ngannou’s success outside the promotion, and why top fighters may be chasing bigger paydays elsewhere. Schaub also reacts to the rumored Netflix super card, Conor McGregor’s future, and why the UFC might be struggling to build new stars.
Is the UFC still the top destination for fighters, or is the business model starting to crack?
