Even in victory. That's what got me here. Even in victory and even years later, he was still so humbled to have fought one of his heroes and he wanted to make sure Mirko knew.
Agreed, nothing but respect for the guy, but if you look at the knock out punch, he barelly touched him, they say once you get knocked out you get knocked out easyly.
For me anyone who un-glues their ass from the couch, goes to the gym, trains for 90 minutes a day, does sparring every second day and then fights in regional or national trials - is already a hero, who can look in the mirror with respect towards themselves. As long as you are not just an "armchair fighter" - you deserve respect. Whoever has the balls to face the pain and fatigue is a Man in my book. And loss can teach you more than a win. That i can testify.
@@ryzalboyz9511 but still just being able to get in a ring with your HERO is awesome. like imagine if elton john came to your house m8, yous be telling him "your the reason I started elton"
In Croatia there is popular documentary that was filmed during pride days, as a kid Mirko lived in poor village and his neighbour made him bags filled with corn or some seeds so he could punch it and kick it, he would always break it and neighbour had to fix it, he had nothing but he was a fighter, true fighter, I get what Schaub is saying.
Actually Mirko used to kick the bricks out of the garage wall and his neighbour who was a brick layer had to come round and fix it every other week and he would beg him to kick something else instead 😂
@@lucoking99 mirko grew up in a Yugoslavia plagued by interethnic wars of the 90s, he was a former soldier of anti-terrorist groups. a real warriors, an example, Croatian pride.
abelucious if i get it right, schaub is the one that made 12 and 12 also i didn't understand him when he said something about a 100 bonus was that mirko's part
Yes Schaub made 12,000 for showing up, 12,000 for the win, an additional 50k for finishing his opponent ( Extra Incentive they added so fighters would go for the risk more often, thus making it more "Entertaining" ) and another 50,000 to him/mirko for fight of the night. + Sponsors at that point in time would put him in the 124k + anywhere from 30-70k in sponsors, so we're up to 154-194,000 for Schaub - Taxes. He probably cleared around 100 Grand in total after you factor in camp prices/food/rent.
he got 12,000 for the fight, 12,000 for winning and the 100,000 bonus was probabley the fight of the night bonus that gets paid to the best fight on that card.
he got $112,000 though all together, $12,000 for taking part, $50,000 for winning and $50,000 for fight of the night but yea I agree, $12,000 is not enough.
On the fighter and the kid a while ago he talked about some guy he lived with getting fed up with him eating his food so the guy started labelling everything with his name. Schaub admitted he purposefully ignored the labels and ate it all anyway to piss him off and when the guy got annoyed he started a fight with him to try and get him to move out and in so threw him through a window. The when all the fans wrote in and said it sounds like you were bullying that dude, Schaub got all defensive and said he was getting bullied. It was something along those lines, apologies if i got some bits wrong.
It doesn't matter if Joe swings that way or not. That would be his decision. But he has a wife and kids and has always been into chicks as far as I can see. Maybe he's bi? Who knows? Who cares? He lives his life. You live yours. But I do know from watching parts of his podcast and listening to him that he LOVES his friends and family. That might be the part that a lot of you people miss...maybe you don't have the ability to LOVE someone other than yourself. He worries about his friends to the point that it makes him sick. He even gave Brendan a hella-ish brow beating about his fighting ability and fighting level and straight up told him 'I don't believe you are a top level fighter. You can't keep getting knocked out. And you should think about retiring.' To the point that it made Brendan cry. He said this to him on-air for everyone to hear, because he loves Brendan.
Seriously one of the coolest most honest and non-bullshit post-fight/retrospective interviews. Loved this so much. Respect to Brendan for providing way more than just bullshit PR talk.
Respect to Brendan for this one. I like that he says “he got knocked out if you remember” not “I knocked his ass out,” not even simply “I knocked him out”. A respectful and humble and also insightful recounting. I love how he speaks of Mirko near the end. The closest thing to poking fun at Brendan I’ll do is just say that it’s really funny how he inexplicably includes the detail about Mirko wearing a fanny pack

I remember a few years ago when he first linked up with JRE and then after when he first embarked on the Fighter and the Kid there were a few instances where he was threatening people and talking serious shit over real petty nonsense -- just had some tough guy insecurities I think. I can't remember specific episodes, but I was listening to half a dozen a day back then -- I do remember Joe being mad patient with him, asking why he was getting worked up and Brendan seeing wisdom through talking his shit out. Sorry I can't be more specific for you -- I've run through almost the entire JRE catalog by now and it's all sort of blended together.
Joe Rogan is one of his best friends and pretty much told him he was never going to be a champion. When someone like Joe who's maybe seen more fights than anyone. And has an acute eye for the sport tells you you're a tough guy who can hang but you're never going to make it to the top. You quit.
And as said in the interview, he fought because he was good at fighting and it made him money. He wasnt fighting because he loved to fight, he realized there were better money elsewhere.
@Bassam Aldhahiry 90k before paying for everything, you lose roughly 60% of what you make plus another 2500$ is these standard after gyms managers take their percentage and then taxes and coaches and then medicals and gear
Ummm they called that a TKO????? Is that what it said at the end of the fight? WTF CroCop went limp onto himself in the weirdest way when he dropped. That was an absolute KO. The follow up punch wasn't even needed. How the hell is that a TKO?
Kent...nope. he would murk all these keyboard warriors and even nice guys like me. he's a big dude and he can fight. 187 its easy to talk about the people we dont know when it comes to fighting. most people dont know how to fight and even if you know how to fight....the average person is average size....so most people wouldnt be able to take on a large man who used to fight in a fuckin cage. its physics man. plus, cro cop is a special forces type killer...a man who has killed people. and Schaub beat him so what the fuck do you think he would do to the average man?
Well.. he'd murk all of them except me. I'd fuck him up easily. EASILY. With my hands tied behind my back, blindfolded and strapped in a wheelchair I'd still fuck him up. That goes for any other martial artist who's ever competed professionally regardless of size or weight.
I used to workout in the same gym as Brendan in Denver. The owner said back then (5+ years ago) -Brendan's biggest downfall is he let's everyone get in his head, good and bad.
Brendan is a fighter that any up and coming kid could model themselves on. He has intelligence, style, and a respect for his opponents. An all round good fighter and human being. We need more like him an mma.
what Schaub just said is super rare , I don't think I ever heard any fighter - a fighter MUST believe in himself - to talk in such a depreciating/realistic way about himself, and this AFTER he KO'd Mirko , but still , he understood how little it meant at this point
Up and coming younger fighters shouldn't take too much pride in KO'ing older, veteran fighters who have been in battles for years before the young guy even gets a chance to fight them. If they win then great, accept it as a win but don't toot their horn about beating a past his prime fighter who they actually struggled to beat.
Brendan, what you gave us all as fans in that fight was INCREDIBLE. Thank you brother! Amazing heart and courage and grit by both of you. One of the greatest young lion versus a legend fights ever fought in the ufc.
You had every business being in the octagon with him dude you fought top 10 guys most of your fights!!! Brendan's power was so underrated shame he couldn't take it to top 3 Level
+Mu I think he knows that he's just being dishonest. Shaub is really dumb and he probably thinks that disingenuousness is humbleness. If Shaub really believed he didn't deserve to be in the ring with him, then he wouldn't have, and not only that, but he said at the start that he thought he'd win it easily. Shaub is dumb as all hell.
Thats an athletes mind, no high level professional goes into the octagon/field/whatever and think they are gonna lose. They need to hype themself up and the thought that he doenst deserve to step into the same octogon as Cro Cop maybe came to his mind later in life.
+neko even if that were the case (and it isn't necessarily the case 'cos one should be relaxed and cool headed and being "hyped up" might lose that), but even if that were the case, he beat him so I really don't think that he believes he doesn't deserve to be in the ring with him. You have to be incredibly thick to beat somebody and afterwards believe you didn't deserve to be in the ring with them.
That's BULLSHIT!! Freakin 12 and 12? (Thousand I know). That ain't shit! Pay these guys man! Every fighter should at least be making 80 to 100 thousand a fight!
I cannot for the life of me figure out why everybody hates Brendan Schaub. Him and Rogan are really fun to listen to; both crazy passionate about MMA, and it's fantastic listening to them bounce off of each other on Rogan's podcast. Can somebody explain why everyone shits on Schaub all the time?
It's just most MMA fans for you, they are usually low intellect, drama hungry neckbeards. It's not just schaub they hate on, any opportunity they'll be hating on something or someone. And they switch the poeple they support and the opinions that they have like the fucking weather.
How is anything on this video different than what the title describes? The hateful comments have to be coming from people who just simply like hating. Otherwise, they would not have even clicked on the video. They are haters, pure and simple. I am neither a fan nor a critic, but at this point, I am pretty sure they could have interviewed a rock or something and there would still be thousands of hateful comments toward said rock. Lighten up people. Life is much too short to waste it on hate.
Brendan is a great fighter. He came into fighting quite late in his life but he is so focused and dedicated that makes him a real champ. I couldn't believe he won this match but he really deserved it. Regards from Bulgaria, Brendan ;)
Aftter listening for hours and hours and hours of Brendan Schaub being on different podcasts every now and then I have to remind myself that he is a beast.
Wow! As much as I appreciate and respect Brendan, Ive always taken him as a bit of a blowhard. A chest pounder if you will. But I truly love the humbleness that he expresses in these moments. How cool!
MTrefiner you’re a moron, living isn’t about almost killing yourself at every corner, you seem like you’re trying to compensate for an emptiness by doing those things. Life has a different meaning to everyone grow up man.
He KO'd Cro Cop and submitted Mitrione plus he was world champion in a different organisation and fought in TUF and the UFC. So show the man some respect he had a great career 💯
Schaub is right. Your life cannot be centered around brutally beating people and getting brutally beaten. It's something you can experience but it is not life. It is a wasted, animalistic life.
Brendan Schaub is unquestionably one of the best UFC commentators out there. He's got a huge heart, big respect for the fighters and the sport, and he's witty, sharp and straightforward. What he says about the lessons learned from the Mirko Cro Cop fight are deep and human.
Very humble & respectful Brendan Schaub in everything he said in this interview, You would have to be a total tool to hate on him for anything he says in this clip.
Last punch was unnecessary on crocop. Clearly already completely ko'd. Not exactly what you do to your *heroes*. Its what you do for your highlight reel. Schaub not even commenting on the last punch was pretty weak.
Yet they called that a TKO????? Can you believe that shit. That was NOT a TKO. TKO's don't involve an unnecessary shot on an opponent that is clearly knocked out.Look how he fell limp on to himself. What dumb ass ruled that a TKO?
ya its weird but i assume its just a weird thing where the ref pull him off and called it thinking crocop was still awake....happens a few times. In the DC vs Jones 2 it was a TKO on record but if you watch the footage in the last 2 strikes DC is ko'd on the floor.
It definitely happens. I've been watching MMA since the late 90's and not just UFC. Pride FC was the first promotion I ever paid attention to heavily. I remember all the Pride years, WEC, Strike Force, etc that originally held some of UFC's current main talent. It's just crazy when to me when a fight has people talking about unnecessary blows after being KO'd because Mirco was 100% KO'd to fall the way he did, & then they call it a TKO win. There was nothing TKO about that one. Then on the flipside of this there were some amazing fights at UFC 217 last night that were TKO's being called KO's. Like WTF? If you Joanna was alert enough to actually tap to strikes after being rocked by Rose and dropped HARD. It shouldn't have been ruled a KO, or even a TKO at that point even, it's truly a win by submission tapping to strikes. Or call it a TKO due to tapping to strikes. Yet that was ruled a KO. Dont get me wrong Joanna was dropped and her eyes went but it was the follow up strikes and the tap that got the fight stopped. TJ's win was a TKO called a KO as well. Garbrandt wasn't snoozing but he was rocked in the same way TJ was rocked but saved by the bell in round 1 to come back and do it to Cody in round 2 without the clock to save Cody. In that situation though i don't really care as much if they called it KO or TKO but in the Joanna Rose fight if you are tapping to strikes like GSP vs Serra 1... you aren't knocked out. Whatever the ref rules it makes it is what it is, but there should be a more concrete system to TKO or KO... especially in a case where someone taps to strikes because they no they aren't coming back from that shot and they want to avoid any further brain damage. It just goes to show they mess up the calls in all directions i guess. They will call a KO a TKO, a TKO a KO, and a submission by taps to strikes a KO (which if not a submission by taps to strikes, should be ruled a TKO not KO)
Short and sweet. Moving stuff for sure, being a pro fighter takes a special quality most of us dont possess. This coming from someone who had many street fights.
Emmanueli Makiavelli Adzoh Bro i see this same comment everywhere and I think i speak for everyone when I say nobody fucking cares! You wanna be a fighter that's great I wish you the best but just go out there and fight...Stop telling us on every single TH-cam video
The fact that someone like you, who says dumb shit like this, with the avatar and name you probably managed to scrape up during TH-cams conception, is just more evidence to me that the future of the humanity is fucked.
Say what u want on Schuab , but he was humbled and gave respect to where respect is due
He did great had a nasty right and an amazing anaconda choke. Had some great fights.
Even in victory. That's what got me here. Even in victory and even years later, he was still so humbled to have fought one of his heroes and he wanted to make sure Mirko knew.
Agreed. If you don't respect Schaub even a little bit after this, you're a knob. Simple as that. The guy's a class act from beginning to end.
Agreed, nothing but respect for the guy, but if you look at the knock out punch, he barelly touched him, they say once you get knocked out you get knocked out easyly.
For me anyone who un-glues their ass from the couch, goes to the gym, trains for 90 minutes a day, does sparring every second day and then fights in regional or national trials - is already a hero, who can look in the mirror with respect towards themselves. As long as you are not just an "armchair fighter" - you deserve respect. Whoever has the balls to face the pain and fatigue is a Man in my book. And loss can teach you more than a win. That i can testify.

“I have no business being in he same octagon as him” you can’t help but love brenden man he’s genuine & speaks from the heart
LMAO, check out the fighter and the kid podcast.
In Cro Cops prime shaub gets KO in the First Minute!!!!!!!!!!! But i must say Shaub is a nice guy
Up and coming younger fighters shouldn't take too much pride in KO'ing older, veteran fighters who have been in battles for years before the young guy even gets a chance to fight them. If they win then great, accept it as a win but don't toot their horn about beating a past his prime fighter who they actually struggled to beat.
I love Cro Cop and he is my #1 fav but why even mention this. We all know it would most likely be the case, but why take away from Shaub here?
Grover C loser
@@ieik8065 great point 💪
after defeating a legend, he is still humble and shows respect to the older opponent. thats admirable. much respect to both these guys.
Brendan, what you gave us all as fans in that fight was INCREDIBLE. Thank you brother! Amazing heart and courage and grit by both of you. One of the greatest young lion versus a legend fights ever fought in the ufc.
Because you are so sincere you have in Croatia the full respect of all Mirko's fans God bless you
Glad he admits it. If Mirco were in his prime it would've been a first round fight.
Say what you want about Brendan, this was a refreshing tribute to see from him. He showed nothing but class and respect for his hero.
Wow, powerful moment.
Thanks, Brendan.
You had every business being in the octagon with him dude you fought top 10 guys most of your fights!!! Brendan's power was so underrated shame he couldn't take it to top 3
Level
+Mu I think he knows that he's just being dishonest. Shaub is really dumb and he probably thinks that disingenuousness is humbleness. If Shaub really believed he didn't deserve to be in the ring with him, then he wouldn't have, and not only that, but he said at the start that he thought he'd win it easily. Shaub is dumb as all hell.
Thats an athletes mind, no high level professional goes into the octagon/field/whatever and think they are gonna lose. They need to hype themself up and the thought that he doenst deserve to step into the same octogon as Cro Cop maybe came to his mind later in life.
+neko even if that were the case (and it isn't necessarily the case 'cos one should be relaxed and cool headed and being "hyped up" might lose that), but even if that were the case, he beat him so I really don't think that he believes he doesn't deserve to be in the ring with him. You have to be incredibly thick to beat somebody and afterwards believe you didn't deserve to be in the ring with them.
@@boliussa in a sense of he didn't put his life into thisand it wasn't his passion like it was cops, who trained since a kid.
@@yurpvideo If he thinks he doesn't deserve to be there then he should leave!
My respect for him just went up by about 10000% after watching this.
That's BULLSHIT!! Freakin 12 and 12? (Thousand I know). That ain't shit! Pay these guys man! Every fighter should at least be making 80 to 100 thousand a fight!
Tremayne Cade the nature of the beast
I cannot for the life of me figure out why everybody hates Brendan Schaub. Him and Rogan are really fun to listen to; both crazy passionate about MMA, and it's fantastic listening to them bounce off of each other on Rogan's podcast. Can somebody explain why everyone shits on Schaub all the time?
It's just most MMA fans for you, they are usually low intellect, drama hungry neckbeards. It's not just schaub they hate on, any opportunity they'll be hating on something or someone. And they switch the poeple they support and the opinions that they have like the fucking weather.
Schaub is s big pussy hahaha FUCK YEA
Seems like a smart dude actually
"Is this worth risking my life?" Truth man truth
How is anything on this video different than what the title describes? The hateful comments have to be coming from people who just simply like hating. Otherwise, they would not have even clicked on the video. They are haters, pure and simple. I am neither a fan nor a critic, but at this point, I am pretty sure they could have interviewed a rock or something and there would still be thousands of hateful comments toward said rock. Lighten up people. Life is much too short to waste it on hate.
The respect he showed was a true class act. I don’t get to by some people get so obsessed with hating on this man
2:55 Broken English? Crocop's English is excellent from what i remember.
Yeah Schaub is an idiot.
I guess he meant his accent
keeponrocking87 Which means Schaub is an idiot... if he can't tell the difference between broken English and an accent!
Excellent ? 😂😂😂😂😂
@@mdbr155No ,he meant his broken english,cos thats exactly what his english is
Fighters are so fucking tough bruh
You can talk all the shit on Brendan you want but you can’t deny he has the heart of a warrior like all who choose to enter the octagon.
Brendan is a great fighter. He came into fighting quite late in his life but he is so focused and dedicated that makes him a real champ. I couldn't believe he won this match but he really deserved it. Regards from Bulgaria, Brendan ;)
Awesome!!!
Aftter listening for hours and hours and hours of Brendan Schaub being on different podcasts every now and then I have to remind myself that he is a beast.
My respect for Brendan as a former UFC fighter, but also as a man, just went up quite a few notches.
3:37 "your the reason I got started Mirko"
Turns around 3:40 " and you are my new reason Joe"
Great video btw
You've got respect for this!From Croat!
Omg i'm soooo ready for this.... this is gonna be awesome.. call me a brendan fan boy its fine.. I am
Vaping With Hacked me too, he's so real
Zach The Ripper u sound stupid as fuck. Being a fan of a ufc fighter doesn't make u gay. Youre a bitch
This really hit hard. Never expected it. Seen SO much MMA content over the years.
I love how genuine Brendan is. It's always great when I see him on JRE.
Ok Brendan
so many salty schaub haters haha
shannon van dort yeah i dont get it, dude is genuine and doesn't sugarcoat or hide his feelings 100% authentic.
BDB 4sure Brandon is that you?
He's not a drawl
Jake Green Please, explain the lies. Saying he lies and then offering no evidence is what passes as "sufficient" in these delusional fake days.
Look at this grown ass man trolling for likes. Well played buddy
I like schaub but he got so lucky in this fight... i mean he survived so many knockout punches form mirko thats unbelievable.
Brendan 'Big Chin' Schaub
If he survived them they weren't knockout punches.
how can you not have respect for brendan
Wow! As much as I appreciate and respect Brendan, Ive always taken him as a bit of a blowhard. A chest pounder if you will. But I truly love the humbleness that he expresses in these moments. How cool!
this is young brendan shaub vs old cro cop :) ,, quess what will be against younger cro cop
Respect.
So I'm assuming crocops check was bigger, not smaller right?
Stop alcohol
Brendan looks like he’s always about to cry
Anywhere I can see this in the UK? Can't find it on Fight Networks TH-cam channel etc.
I subscribed to the Fight Network app on my Roku and watched it there You can get it on Apple TV too
Schaub seems like the guy who would stick up for a random stranger
He did, try to find his story about the prostitute and the pimp at the hotel when he was about to start the ultimate fighter.
@@Mr12ob th-cam.com/video/O21If10iVfQ/w-d-xo.html found it for yall lol
"Same same but different" The interview quote!! Honor, dignity, sense of humor.
Schaub is a Great fighter 👍👍👍👍
Late. Wow this put things in a new light for me. Good video
Throwing up from pain? Geez, no thanks. Savages in that octagon.
Maybe he got punched in the stomach right below esophagous
MTrefiner you’re a moron, living isn’t about almost killing yourself at every corner, you seem like you’re trying to compensate for an emptiness by doing those things. Life has a different meaning to everyone grow up man.
He’s a nice kid. Has good morals. If more people thought like this the world would be a nicer place.
This guy is fucking awesome!
Whatever your opinion of schaub. He speaks candidly here
Joe Rogan and Joe Rogan from the future at 3:40
LOL
He KO'd Cro Cop and submitted Mitrione plus he was world champion in a different organisation and fought in TUF and the UFC. So show the man some respect he had a great career 💯
Schaub is right. Your life cannot be centered around brutally beating people and getting brutally beaten. It's something you can experience but it is not life. It is a wasted, animalistic life.
Brendan Schaub is unquestionably one of the best UFC commentators out there. He's got a huge heart, big respect for the fighters and the sport, and he's witty, sharp and straightforward. What he says about the lessons learned from the Mirko Cro Cop fight are deep and human.
Brandon needs to download a new haircut
hipster style
"you're the reason I got started Mirko" that must be the sweetest thing I've ever heard on mma fighting grounds. so much respect there
Damn this is a tear jerker. Please release the full thing i subbed and am a full dick diver of this channel now
Very humble & respectful Brendan Schaub in everything he said in this interview, You would have to be a total tool to hate on him for anything he says in this clip.
All the Schuab haters just show how successful he is. Truly an inspiration to all non-cheetos covered fingered individuals.
Respect on Schaub for respect on Mirko
✌️From 🇭🇷
If there is a god, he'd better hope he got Mirko Filipovic's permission to create the universe
I respect Brendan more from this interview.
Good for him.
brendan thinks he bradd pitt now
Emmanueli Makiavelli Adzoh fucking right you will
bunch of ugly comedians telling you you're good looking will do that to you
hes better looking than you hater
Is there anywhere I can watch this online?
Last punch was unnecessary on crocop. Clearly already completely ko'd. Not exactly what you do to your *heroes*. Its what you do for your highlight reel. Schaub not even commenting on the last punch was pretty weak.
Yet they called that a TKO????? Can you believe that shit. That was NOT a TKO. TKO's don't involve an unnecessary shot on an opponent that is clearly knocked out.Look how he fell limp on to himself. What dumb ass ruled that a TKO?
ya its weird but i assume its just a weird thing where the ref pull him off and called it thinking crocop was still awake....happens a few times. In the DC vs Jones 2 it was a TKO on record but if you watch the footage in the last 2 strikes DC is ko'd on the floor.
It definitely happens. I've been watching MMA since the late 90's and not just UFC. Pride FC was the first promotion I ever paid attention to heavily. I remember all the Pride years, WEC, Strike Force, etc that originally held some of UFC's current main talent. It's just crazy when to me when a fight has people talking about unnecessary blows after being KO'd because Mirco was 100% KO'd to fall the way he did, & then they call it a TKO win. There was nothing TKO about that one.
Then on the flipside of this there were some amazing fights at UFC 217 last night that were TKO's being called KO's. Like WTF? If you Joanna was alert enough to actually tap to strikes after being rocked by Rose and dropped HARD. It shouldn't have been ruled a KO, or even a TKO at that point even, it's truly a win by submission tapping to strikes. Or call it a TKO due to tapping to strikes. Yet that was ruled a KO. Dont get me wrong Joanna was dropped and her eyes went but it was the follow up strikes and the tap that got the fight stopped.
TJ's win was a TKO called a KO as well. Garbrandt wasn't snoozing but he was rocked in the same way TJ was rocked but saved by the bell in round 1 to come back and do it to Cody in round 2 without the clock to save Cody. In that situation though i don't really care as much if they called it KO or TKO but in the Joanna Rose fight if you are tapping to strikes like GSP vs Serra 1... you aren't knocked out. Whatever the ref rules it makes it is what it is, but there should be a more concrete system to TKO or KO... especially in a case where someone taps to strikes because they no they aren't coming back from that shot and they want to avoid any further brain damage.
It just goes to show they mess up the calls in all directions i guess. They will call a KO a TKO, a TKO a KO, and a submission by taps to strikes a KO (which if not a submission by taps to strikes, should be ruled a TKO not KO)
hahahahahaha, you look like you need therapy with your emotions bruh.
Short and sweet. Moving stuff for sure, being a pro fighter takes a special quality most of us dont possess. This coming from someone who had many street fights.
Schaub the type of guy to run off stage crying after being heckled by a drunk chick.
did this happen?
bless the both of you.
What’s with the fruity 1920s haircut ?
The Zee Group You watch Peaky Blinders don't you?
Judging another man's haircut seems suspect.
You’re just jealous you bald piece of shit
nice side part...fuck kinda haircut do you have?
The Zee Group it kinda suits him
Something that no one said, but is true: Brendan was winning against Big Nog and Ben Rothwell before the KO's.. He was a good fighter.
I used to like him but he's so full of himself now that he's found fame
salty
nothing wrong with confidence my dude.
HawaiL yep. That's why they here watching it. And when full version comes out they will watch too. Just trolls. BEAT IT NERDS
wtf you talking about? brendan is super humble here
Emmanueli Makiavelli Adzoh Bro i see this same comment everywhere and I think i speak for everyone when I say nobody fucking cares! You wanna be a fighter that's great I wish you the best but just go out there and fight...Stop telling us on every single TH-cam video
Loving these Retros
Brendan is type guy that smell his fart and cry
The fact that someone like you, who says dumb shit like this, with the avatar and name you probably managed to scrape up during TH-cams conception, is just more evidence to me that the future of the humanity is fucked.
GravityLee swabs is that u?
What hahahahahahahaha
so dumb but so funny
Release the full episode COME ON already
A very humble response to winning, shot up in my estimations.
