Brendan Schaub claims the UFC offered Ronda Rousey "more money than you can imagine to come back" but 'Rowdy' turned it down

Cole Shelton - August 29, 2023

Brendan Schaub says he was told on good authority that the UFC made a substantial offer to Ronda Rousey. After Rousey revealed she would be stepping away from the WWE, many wondered if that meant she would return to the UFC. The former bantamweight champion has always been linked to a return to the Octagon, but those rumors started to escalate more and more over the past few months.

It was just this past weekend, Saturday, August 5th that saw Jake Paul defeat the former MMA competitor Nate Diaz by unanimous decision at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. It would be Paul’s 7th victory in the ring (4 by knockout).

Brendan Schaub offered bareknuckle MMA fight against Derrick Lewis in Jorge Masvidal's promotion: "I wouldn't say no"

Cole Shelton - August 3, 2023

Brendan Schaub could be making a comeback. Schaub retired from MMA back in 2015 after he went 10-5 as a pro but ended his career on a two-fight losing skid. His last fight was a TKO loss to Travis Browne at UFC 181 in December 2014 and he decided to walk away from the sport.

Harry Kettle - July 19, 2023

Brendan Schaub has said that Daniel Cormier’s association with the Ultimate Fighting Championship was why he doubted Francis Ngannou’s exit. When he left the UFC, many doubted Francis Ngannou’s ability to secure a big payday – including Daniel Cormier. The popular opinion was that he wouldn’t be able to find the same kind of deal that he had with the promotion.

Brendan Schaub says fans should acknowledge how good UFC middleweight Dricus du Plessis is: "It's damn near impossible to beat"

Fernando Quiles - July 16, 2023

Former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub thinks Dricus du Plessis is as good as he says he is. Fresh off a second-round TKO finish over former UFC Middleweight Champion Robert Whittaker, du Plessis is riding high. He defeated Whittaker at UFC 290 on July 8. The win for du Plessis sets the stage for a 185-pound title fight against the champion Israel Adesanya. Both men have bad blood and engaged in a heated staredown after du Plessis’ victory.

Brendan Schaub believes UFC 290 could prove to be “an awful night” for Mexican fans

Harry Kettle - July 7, 2023

MMA analyst and former UFC fighter Brendan Schaub isn’t sure the Mexican stars on the UFC 290 card will have much joy on Saturday night. In the mixed martial arts sphere, Brendan Schaub is an interesting character. While some respect and enjoy his analysis of the sport, others feel like he doesn’t contribute anything substantial. Either way, though, he certainly knows how to make some noise, especially if he has controversial opinions.

Lewis Simpson - June 8, 2023

Harry Kettle - May 19, 2023

Former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub has called Francis Ngannou’s PFL deal into question after it was announced earlier this week. As most of us know, Francis Ngannou has officially signed with PFL. While some of the reactions from fans were mixed, a lot of fighters came out to voice their support for ‘The Predator’. In addition to fighting for PFL, he’ll also be allowed to venture into the boxing ring.

Brendan Schaub names the heavyweight “dark horse that can dethrone” UFC champion Jon Jones

Susan Cox - March 14, 2023

Brendan Schaub has named the heavyweight ‘dark horse that can dethrone’ UFC champion Jon Jones. It was just over a week ago that Jon Jones (27-1 MMA) defeated Ciryl Gane (11-2 MMA) in the heavyweight main event at UFC 285. Just two minutes and four seconds into the first round it was Jones who got Gane in a guillotine choke, forcing Gane to tap out.

UFC

Brendan Schaub is confident 2023 will be the final year of dominance for UFC champion Valentina Shevchenko: “I would be willing to bet all my cash”

Harry Kettle - January 10, 2023

Former UFC fighter Brendan Schaub has predicted that Valentina Shevchenko will lose her flyweight crown by the end of the year. It’s safe to say that Valentina Shevchenko is one of the greatest female MMA fighters ever. At the age of 34, ‘Bullet’ has done a pretty incredible job of cleaning out the flyweight division. She’d been campaigning for the UFC to introduce the new weight class for years and after capturing the gold in late 2018, she’s gone on to successfully defend it seven times.

Khabib Nurmagomedov

Brendan Schaub slams Khabib Nurmagomedov over his Islam Makhachev prediction

Andrew Whitelaw - December 20, 2022

Brendan Schaub doesn’t think much of Khabib Nurmagomedov saying Islam Makhachev should have five or six title defences and then ‘leave’ the sport. The fighter-turned-comedian believes it would be a ‘weak’ move to merely hang up the gloves after suffering a first loss as champion. The former UFC heavyweight criticised that thinking from ‘The Eagle’ when speaking on the Schaub Show.

Paddy Pimblett

Brendan Schaub believes Paddy Pimblett will be a future UFC champion: "Do your homework on him"

Josh Evanoff - December 15, 2022

Brendan Schaub still believes that Paddy Pimblett is a future UFC champion. ‘The Baddy’ made his return at UFC 282 last Saturday night on pay-per-view. Despite being just three fights into his journey in the promotion, he’s already a superstar. Brand deals with Barstool Sports, as well as a popular podcast, have helped in spades.

Kevin Holland

Brendan Schaub believes Kevin Holland made mistake by making 'gentleman's agreement' with Stephen Thompson: "You need wins"

Josh Evanoff - December 7, 2022

Fighter-turned-podcaster Brendan Schaub believes Kevin Holland had the wrong game plan at UFC Orlando. Last Saturday night, ‘Trail Blazer’ made his return for the first time since being submitted by Khamzat Chimaev in September. Standing opposite Holland was former title challenger Stephen Thompson. ‘Wonderboy’ entered the contest on a two-fight losing streak.

Josh Evanoff - November 30, 2022

Fighter-turned-podcaster Brendan Schaub has responded to Alex Pereira’s bet offer. ‘Poatan’ is fresh off his knockout win over Isreal Adesanya earlier this month. The victory saw the Brazilian become champion just four fights into his UFC stint, and earn his third win over ‘The Last Stylebender’. Albeit, two of those wins came in the kickboxing ring.

Brendan Schaub disagrees with Joe Rogan labeling Alex Pereira’s extreme weight cutting as "sanctioned cheating"

Cole Shelton - November 23, 2022

BBrendan Schaub doesn’t agree with Joe Rogan over Alex Pereira and him cutting down to middleweight. At UFC 281, Pereira became the new middleweight champion as he scored a fifth-round TKO over Israel Adesanya. Although he was losing the fight until he stoppage, during the fight, it was clear the Brazilian was much bigger than Adesanya.

Josh Evanoff - November 22, 2022

Fighter-turned-podcaster Brendan Schaub knows who he wants to see Alex Pereira fight next. ‘Poaton’ is fresh off his return at UFC 281 earlier this month in New York. Standing opposite the Brazilian was the-then middleweight champion Israel Adesanya. The two men previously clashed twice in kickboxing, with Pereira winning on both occasions.
