Brendan Schaub: A look back

‘Big Brown’ has had an interesting career and relationship with the UFC, to say the least. He got his start in the promotion as a participant on ‘The Ultimate Fighter’. Big Country’ Roy Nelson viciously finished Schaub in their fight. However, he signed up with the organization where he fought until 2014.

He managed to launch a good comeback following his loss, going undefeated in his next four. His tenure in the UFC would be rocky from this point onwards as he went 4-2 before finally retiring. Additionally, Brendan Schaub would be violently finished in three of those four losses bringing his career to a close.

He decided to walk away and pursue other avenues after being unable to crack elite competition in the UFC. Schaub faced surging contenders in the heavyweight division and also acquired wins over Mirko Cro Cop and Matt Mitrione.

After stepping away from active competition, the Colorado-born fighter made a highly successful transition to the world of entertainment. He hosts ‘TFATK’ podcast alongside Bryan Callen as well as various gigs as an analyst.

Not to mention he secured a role with Showtime as a Podcaster on ‘Below the Belt’. He also enjoys a successful career as a commercially viable stand-up comedian.

Brendan Schaub managed to do what very few former fights can, and he garnered massive acclaim in his post fighting career. ’Big Brown’ seems to be on a continually upward momentum.
