Brendan Schaub is back on The Fighter and The Kid breaking down one of the wildest scams on the internet — a man allegedly posing as an NFL/San Francisco 49ers player while using the fake lifestyle to impress and scam women.
The guys get into the fake NFL story, internet personalities getting exposed, fake tough guys, Dagestani fighters and MMA wrestling, UFC judging, MKUltra and Charles Manson, true-crime documentaries, social media manipulation, Austin vs. LA and New York, Texas BBQ and much more.
Plus, Brendan breaks down whether the Dagestani style is actually good for MMA and how changes to judging and stand-ups could completely change the game.
