Why Jon Jones vs Daniel Cormier Should Be Left in the Past | Episode 469

On this episode of The Schaub Show, Brendan Schaub dives into the latest surrounding Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier, including their involvement in a Russian reality-style fight show and why their rivalry no longer hits the same.

Brendan explains why MMA nostalgia doesn’t work the way fans think it does, why legends don’t always translate into compelling modern content, and why it may be time to fully move on. He also breaks down how the UFC continues to miss massive crossover opportunities — including a critical reaction to how Mackenzie Dern was handled at the Golden Globes.
