Summary
On this episode of The Schaub Show, Brendan Schaub dives into the latest surrounding Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier, including their involvement in a Russian reality-style fight show and why their rivalry no longer hits the same.
Brendan explains why MMA nostalgia doesn’t work the way fans think it does, why legends don’t always translate into compelling modern content, and why it may be time to fully move on. He also breaks down how the UFC continues to miss massive crossover opportunities — including a critical reaction to how Mackenzie Dern was handled at the Golden Globes.
The episode also touches on:
Dana White’s role as the UFC shifts media partners
Wrestling vs MMA reality (Luke Rockhold, Colby Covington, Bo Nickal)
The leaked Logan Paul vs Bradley Martyn fight footage
Why certain fights should (and shouldn’t) happen
How poor presentation damages fighters long-term
A wide-ranging breakdown of combat sports, media, and why execution matters more than hype.
