On this episode of The Schaub Show, Brendan breaks down the rumored UFC White House fight card and whether it could become the biggest spectacle in MMA history.

With talk of potential appearances from GSP, Conor McGregor, and Nate Diaz, the question becomes: is this the greatest super card ever assembled, or a promotional play aimed at casual fans?

Brendan dives into:
• Why legacy names matter more than rankings for an event like this
• Whether Conor vs Nate 3 makes sense in 2025
• The possibility of a GSP return
• How this card could freeze entire divisions
• Why UFC 100, 200, and 300 set an impossible bar
• Whether Jon Jones, Alex Pereira, or Islam Makhachev fit into the picture

Is this a historic moment for the sport — or a spectacle-first approach?

The UFC looks strong on the surface — but behind the scenes, cracks are forming.
From weak cards to heavyweight chaos, this isn’t the same machine anymore.
Brendan breaks down why recent UFC cards feel different, why the heavyweight division is dangerously thin, and how the business decisions fans never see are catching up to the product.
We get into:
• Why the Apex era changed fan expectations
• How Bare Knuckle FC is succeeding without competing directly
• Jon Jones, the White House card, and what the UFC owes its legends
• Why heavyweight MMA used to matter — and why it doesn’t right now
• The difference between “dominant” and “complacent” promotions
