Does being one of the greatest fighters ever automatically make you a great coach?
Brendan Schaub answers your Sunday Fan Questions and breaks down the difference between elite fighting ability and elite coaching, including what kind of coach Gable Steveson needs as he continues developing in MMA and whether a fighter like Jon Jones being an all-time great means his knowledge naturally translates to teaching.
Brendan also reveals his dream opponent, debates size vs. skill in wrestling, BJJ and MMA, compares Gi vs. No-Gi BJJ, and builds his ultimate one-weight-class fight card.
Plus: Gable Steveson’s future, Justin Gaethje vs. Ilia Topuria, prime Daniel Cormier in today’s heavyweight division, Arman Tsarukyan, Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua, TKO equity and more.
