Brendan Schaub reacts to the fallout from Gable Steveson’s loss to Sean Sharaf at UFC 331 and asks the bigger question: how badly does Gable actually want to pursue MMA? Brendan breaks down why the Olympic gold medalist needs to lean much more heavily on his wrestling, whether Jon Jones is really the right blueprint for his fighting style, and why Gable’s path through wrestling, WWE, the NFL and eventually the UFC makes Brendan question where MMA ranks among his real priorities.
