Brendan Peter Schaub (born March 18, 1983) is an American podcast host, former professional mixed martial artist, and stand-up comedian.[2] He is the host of The Fighter and the Kid podcast, the Below the Belt with Brendan Schaub podcast, and co-host of the Golden Hour podcast, along with fellow comedians Chris D'Elia and Erik Griffin.[3] After signing with Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in 2009 to compete on The Ultimate Fighter, he fought for the company until 2014. He officially retired from mixed martial arts (MMA) in 2015. Since 2015, Schaub has been performing stand-up comedy, initially as a duo act with comedian Bryan Callen, but more recently as a solo comedian. Schaub released his debut comedy special titled You'd Be Surprised in 2019 followed by his second special, The Gringo Papi in 2022.[4]
Early life and education
Schaub was born and raised in Aurora, Colorado, to an English mother Debra and an American father Peter Schaub.[5] He is of German, Italian, and English descent.[6] His father is a second-degree black belt in taekwondo.[7] While at Overland High School, Schaub lettered two years in varsity lacrosse and one year in varsity American football. He received no college athletic scholarship offers, but he tried out for both the football team and lacrosse team at Whittier College and was accepted to both. Prior to his junior year, he transferred to the University of Colorado to play football full-time where he redshirted his first season.[8] Following college, Schaub went undrafted in the 2006 NFL Draft but would sign with the Arena Football League's Utah Blaze, before being released in November 2006 without making the roster.[9] He was once more signed to the Blaze in February 2007 but waived two days later.[10][11] Schaub then retired from the sport in 2007.
Mixed martial arts career
Early career
After retiring from football, Schaub returned to Colorado where he began training in boxing and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. After only six months of training in boxing, Schaub competed in amateur boxing and won the Colorado novice-division Golden Gloves heavyweight title. Schaub later began training at High Altitude Martial Arts located in Aurora and the Grudge Training Center in Arvada, where he met UFC heavyweight contender Shane Carwin. The two became friends as well as training partners.[12] After this, he began his professional career in mixed martial arts (MMA), mainly competing in Colorado. Schaub started his career with a 4–0 record and won the heavyweight title for the Ring of Fire organization.
He lost his second straight fight, also via KO (punches) to Ben Rothwell on April 21, 2012, at UFC 145.[20]
Schaub was expected to face Lavar Johnson on December 8, 2012, at UFC on Fox 5.[21] However, Johnson was forced out of the bout with a groin injury and Schaub was pulled from the card as well.[22] Schaub fought Johnson on February 23, 2013, at UFC 157.[23] Schaub won via unanimous decision (30–27, 30–27, and 30–27). After, it was announced Johnson tested positive for elevated testosterone in a post-fight drug test.[24]
Schaub was expected to face Matt Mitrione on July 27, 2013, at UFC on Fox 8.[25] However, in mid-July, Mitrione pulled out of the bout citing an injury and Schaub was pulled from the event as well.[26] The bout eventually took place on September 21, 2013, at UFC 165.[27] Schaub defeated Mitrione in the first round via D'Arce choke.
On December 6, 2014, at UFC 181, Schaub lost via TKO (punches) in the first round to Travis Browne.[30]
Days after the fight, Schaub's friend and UFC commentator Joe Rogan had a joint podcast with Schaub and Bryan Callen where Rogan and Callen advised Schaub to retire from MMA and pursue a career in comedy.[31][32]
Despite having retired from MMA, Schaub continued training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. On May 29, 2021, was promoted to the rank of black belt in the sport.[36]

In 2013, Schaub and Bryan Callen started their podcast titled The Fighter and the Kid. The shows were produced by FOX network until a contract dispute in 2016. They then left the network and began producing the podcast themselves. Schaub and Callen also began touring to perform shows that were a mix between a live podcast and duo stand-up comedy act.[37]
In December 2016, Schaub launched a solo podcast, titled Big Brown Breakdown.[38] The podcast focuses on topics related to combat sports, mainly mixed martial arts.[39]
On the January 30 episode of Big Brown Breakdown, Schaub generated controversy when he suggested that the UFC On Fox panel of presenters had been selected based on race for the sake of diversity. "Sometimes you look at UFC Tonight and you're like, 'Alright, is that the best panel possible? Or are you just trying to check off the boxes?'" Schaub questioned. "We get it, UFC Tonight FOX, you're not racist. We get it, you have an all-black panel. We get it. Woah, we get it. We get it, man."[40]
In February 2018, Schaub partnered with Showtime to rebrand his solo podcast to the name "BELOW THE BELT with Brendan Schaub". They also released a web show of the same name where Schaub would serve as the host.[41]
On December 21, 2018, Schaub and Theo Von announced the creation of a new podcast titled "King and the Sting". On January 13, 2022, Schaub and Von added Chris D'Elia to the podcast, renaming it to "King and the Sting and Wing".[42]
On November 4, 2022, "King and the Sting and Wing" was officially renamed "The Golden Hour", with Erik Griffin replacing Theo Von.[43]
In September 2023, Schaub and Callen publicly stated that Kast Media and its CEO Colin Thomson owed their production company $1.5-1.6 million dollars. Similar claims were made by Jim Cornette followed by Theo Von, Jason Ellis, Whitney Cummings, and Alyx Weiss, who stated they were owed money by Kast Media, including several six-figure and seven-figure shortages. This was in the process of an acquisition of Kast Media by PodcastOne, where Thomson was offering creators partial reimbursement combined with stock options. Amid the news, LiveOne and PodcastOne stock dropped considerably and the company no longer planned to officially hire Thomson. LiveOne took out a high-interest loan to pay Schaub, but did not compensate other creators.[44][45][46][47][48]
Stand-up comedy

After retiring from mixed martial arts in 2014, Schaub began pursuing a stand-up comedy career. At first, he toured and performed with Bryan Callen until August 10, 2016, when he debuted as a solo comedian at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles, California.[49][50][51] In January 2019 Brendan Schaub filmed his first ever Showtime comedy special, You'd Be Surprised, which debuted on May 18, 2019.[52] Schaub released his second comedy special available through streaming on YouTube titled The Gringo Papi on April 28, 2022.[53]
Television and film
In 2016, Schaub and Callen released a sketch comedy series on iTunes titled The Fighter and the Kid 3D.[54]
Schaub made his feature film debut in the 2016 movie Range 15.[55]
In 2015, Schaub appeared on the television series MythBusters to help test a myth related to video games.[56]
In 2023, Schaub launched a whisky brand called Tiger Thiccc Whiskey.[61] In a 2022 article by the Dallas Morning News, the name is said to come from "the superior nature of a tiger that allows him (Brendan Schaub) to overcome adversity from the moment he is born."[62]
Schaub is engaged to long-time girlfriend Joanna Zanella, and they have two sons, born in 2016 and 2019. He has one brother named Jay.[63] Schaub previously had a brief relationship with Ronda Rousey.[64] He supports the sports teams of Denver, Colorado, and Los Angeles, California, as well as the Cleveland Browns.[65][66][67] Schaub is an avid fan of fashion and automobiles. According to Schaub, after getting a broken nose in his fight with Mirko Cro Cop, he was prescribed oxycontin for recovery and spent months addicted to them.[68] In May 2021, Schaub was promoted to black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu after 14 years of training.[69]
