Brendan Schaub

Brendan "Big Brown" Schaub is a former MMA fighter, with a storied fight career. He competed in the show The Ultimate Fighter (2005), getting a place in the finale fight and securing a contract with the UFC. While in the UFC, he won 6 fights and defeated one of his personal heroes, the Croatian veteran and legend Mirko Cro Cop. Brendan decided to retire from fighting after a podcast with Joe Rogan, who was concerned for his well-being, as well as being dissatisfied with the direction the UFC was taking its sponsorship with Reebok. Brendan, who was already running a very successful podcast, quit fighting to focus on podcasting, acting, and stand-up comedy full-time.

Schaub hosts The Fighter and the Kid (2015) podcast with co-host comedian/actor Bryan Callen and is a recurring guest on The Joe Rogan Experience (2009) (one of the most successful podcasts in the world). He has two sons with his wife actress Joanna Zanella: Tiger Pax Schaub and Boston J. Schaub.
