Brendan Schaub and Bryan Callen dive deep into the wild world of combat sports — and this episode is loaded. From Jake Paul’s shocking matchup with Anthony Joshua to Dana White revealing personal stories about Francis Ngannou, this is one of the most stacked Fighter and the Kid conversations in months.
Brendan breaks down exactly why Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua is one of the most insane events in modern boxing. From AJ’s Olympic pedigree to Jake’s rapid rise and massive risk, Schaub explains the real danger, how the fight could end, and why boxing could be in trouble if things get weird. He also reveals behind-the-scenes insight into how Joshua is preparing, including training with Usyk’s camp.
Bryan and Brendan also react to Dana White’s intense story about Francis Ngannou, Jake Paul’s next-level confidence going into the fight, the UFC Qatar card, Machado Garry’s rise, the lightweight and welterweight divisions, Dustin Poirier’s insight on grappling with world-level wrestlers, and what needs to happen for MMA and boxing to stay grounded in reality.
The guys also talk Jeff Dye’s viral GoFundMe controversy, the culture around youth sports, health industry scams, baseball politics, MRI scans, longevity, and the hilarious chaos that always follows the Fighter and the Kid.
