Brendan Schaub reacts to the growing backlash surrounding Gable Steveson ahead of UFC 331. Can the Olympic gold medalist become the UFC’s next heavyweight superstar, or is his carefully controlled public persona preventing fans from connecting with him? Brendan discusses Sean Sharif’s aggressive trash talk, whether provoking Gable could create an opening for a massive upset, and why Steveson may need to stop playing it safe and embrace becoming a full UFC villain. The Big Brown Breakdown also previews UFC 331, including Arman Tsarukyan vs. Mauricio Ruffy, Joshua Van vs. Alexandre Pantoja, Aaron Pico’s new opponent, Ciryl Gane’s heavyweight competition, Alexander Volkov’s title chances, Brendan’s official main-card picks and the FightCamp giveaway.
