Conor McGregor's future has become one of the biggest conversations in MMA following UFC International Fight Week, and Brendan Schaub doesn't hold back on where he believes the former two-division champion stands after another devastating setback. On this episode of Big Brown Breakdown, Brendan explains why he believes McGregor is no longer fighting for greatness, what a return to the UFC could realistically look like, whether Michael Chandler is still the right opponent, and why BKFC or boxing may ultimately make more sense than another run at UFC gold. The episode also dives into Paddy Pimblett's continued rise after his latest win, whether a fight with Ilia Topuria or Charles Oliveira should be next, Tom Aspinall's upcoming showdown with Ciryl Gane, and why the UFC lightweight division has never been more unpredictable. Brendan also gives his thoughts on Islam Makhachev vs. Ian Machado Garry, Justin Gaethje's future, Arman Tsarukyan's inactivity, Cody Garbrandt, Tony Ferguson, and answers fan questions covering the biggest stories across the sport. From Conor McGregor's legacy and comeback plans to the future of the UFC's biggest stars, this episode covers everything happening in MMA right now. Shopify: You put in the work.
