Brendan Schaub is back LIVE for another Big Brown Breakdown, reacting to the fallout from Islam Makhachev vs Ian Machado Garry and answering fan questions about the biggest stories in MMA. Brendan doubles down on his criticism of Ian Garry’s game plan, explains why fighting defensively took away the weapons that make Garry dangerous, and debates whether Ian has the mentality necessary to become UFC champion. He also discusses Islam Makhachev’s move to welterweight, Michael Morales and Shavkat Rakhmonov as potential threats, and why he still believes Jon Jones has the stronger case as MMA’s GOAT. Plus, Brendan defends Mackenzie Dern’s performance against Jillian Robertson, reacts to Dean Thomas’ corner controversy, discusses damage vs control in MMA judging, Paddy Pimblett’s next move, Aaron Pico vs Arnold Allen, the future of the UFC welterweight division and much more.
