The Schaub Show explores the intersection of combat sports and life in and outside the sport. Through the eyes of former fighter, comedian, and host Brendan Schaub, the show is an entertaining mix of truth, comedy, and rawness. Brendan is joined by some of the sport's biggest names and entertainers each week. Episodes include weekly insights into the sport. The show consists of deep dives with fighters during Food Truck Diaries, Friday Night Flashbacks, and Calabasas Fight Companion episodes, with a roundtable of co-hosts joining the Schaub show. Formerly Below the Belt, the Schaub show brings you inside the world of professional fighting.

The Schaub Show

On this episode of The Schaub Show, Brendan Schaub dives into the latest surrounding Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier, including their involvement in a Russian reality-style fight show and why their rivalry no longer hits the same.

Brendan explains why MMA nostalgia doesn’t work the way fans think it does, why legends don’t always translate into compelling modern content, and why it may be time to fully move on. He also breaks down how the UFC continues to miss massive crossover opportunities — including a critical reaction to how Mackenzie Dern was handled at the Golden Globes.

The episode also touches on:

Dana White’s role as the UFC shifts media partners

Wrestling vs MMA reality (Luke Rockhold, Colby Covington, Bo Nickal)

The leaked Logan Paul vs Bradley Martyn fight footage

Why certain fights should (and shouldn’t) happen

How poor presentation damages fighters long-term

A wide-ranging breakdown of combat sports, media, and why execution matters more than hype.

Why Jon Jones vs Daniel Cormier Should Be Left in the Past | Episode 469

Brendan talks about his daughter’s progress and why it put everything else into perspective, then shifts to a long breakdown of Gable Steveson, his potential future in the UFC, and whether Jon Jones is the right mentor for a young heavyweight prospect. Brendan compares Jones to other all-time greats, discusses mentorship versus talent, and explains why greatness inside the Octagon doesn’t always translate to guidance outside of it. The episode also covers the current state of the UFC heavyweight division, matchmaking challenges, prospects versus veterans, and what it really takes to reach a title shot. Brendan touches on boxing news, Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Jake Paul’s rankings, pay-per-view changes, fighter pay, and upcoming UFC storylines. This is a classic Schaub Show episode — honest takes, fight analysis, and real perspective from someone who’s been there.

Brendan Schaub Breaks Down Gable Steveson, Jon Jones & UFC Heavyweight Prospects | Episode 468

On this episode of The Schaub Show, Brendan Schaub breaks down the story of Jack Doherty and three of his friendstrying to step up to Andrei Arlovski — and why that kind of confidence gets people hurt fast. Brendan explains the massive difference between influencer bravado and real fighting experience, why heavyweight legends like Arlovski operate in a completely different reality, and how internet fame can warp people’s sense of danger. The conversation highlights why stepping to a real professional fighter isn’t entertainment, isn’t a joke, and isn’t something numbers or followers prepare you for. The episode also dives into influencer fight culture, ego, clout, and why fans consistently underestimate what elite fighters are capable of, even later in their careers.

Jack Doherty Stepping to Andrei Arlovski Shows How Clout Warps Reality | Episode 467

On this episode of The Schaub Show, Brendan Schaub gives his unfiltered breakdown of Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua, why the fight was never competitive, and why calling it “brave” completely misses the point. Brendan explains how the fight should have been marketed, why the idea of a “puncher’s chance” doesn’t apply at this level, and how boxing continues to sell narratives that casual fans don’t fully understand. He also breaks down the difference between actually engaging in a fight versus surviving for rounds, why the money changes everything, and why this kind of matchup could only happen in boxing. The episode also touches on boxing vs MMA, how real fighting works at the elite level, the role of promotion and streaming platforms, and why Jake Paul has been able to exploit a broken system while making more money than most champions ever will.

Later in the episode, Brendan reacts to Ilia Topuria stepping away, reading Ilia’s statement and discussing the seriousness of the situation, including claims of extortion and false allegations.
