Fan Questions: Anderson Silva’s Record Is MORE Impressive Than Islam’s | Big Brown Breakdown

Brendan Schaub answers your fan questions on a Sunday edition of Big Brown Breakdown and gets into some of the biggest debates happening in the UFC.

Islam Makhachev may have surpassed Anderson Silva’s legendary UFC winning streak, but does that automatically make Islam’s run more impressive? Brendan explains why he gives Anderson Silva the edge, arguing that Silva’s striking-heavy style exposed him to significantly more risk than the wrestling-based approach used by Islam and other elite Dagestani fighters.

Brendan also builds the perfect heavyweight to defeat Jon Jones, discusses whether Conor McGregor vs Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson makes sense, reacts to Ian Machado Garry embracing his heel role, and picks which current UFC champion has the best chance of moving up and winning another belt.

Plus, Brendan discusses Michael Morales’ wrestling, Islam carrying two UFC belts, a potential Mauricio Ruffy vs Diego Lopes matchup, whether Justin Gaethje could beat an untrained heavyweight, and Sergei Pavlovich’s position in the heavyweight title picture.

Full Violence x Big Brown Breakdown collab drops Wednesday.
