Is Conor McGregor Actually Winning Saturday? | Big Brown Breakdown LIVE CHAT Ep. 8

Brendan Schaub and the crew go LIVE for McGregor fight week, breaking down Conor McGregor's highly anticipated UFC 329 return against Max Holloway. Schaub gives his honest take on whether Conor can actually pull off one of the biggest comebacks in sports history after five years away and a broken toe injury, plus deep analysis on Holloway's diminished form, the cardio question marks on both sides, and what it would take for Max to get the job done. The crew also dives into Gable Steveson's UFC debut against Cody Ellison, addressing his 2019 legal case head-on, and draws comparisons to how the public treats Mike Tyson's past conviction. Plus: Cody Garbrandt vs Adrian Yanez, Georges St-Pierre and Jon Jones comeback comparisons, and a candid Q&A covering fatherhood, life advice, and behind-the-scenes stories from Brendan's career.
