Dana White on Trial, Conor’s Value & the Truth About UFC Pay | Episode 473

Dana White takes the stand in the UFC antitrust lawsuit, and the MMA world is already jumping to the wrong conclusions. On this episode of The Schaub Show, Brendan breaks down what the lawsuit actually means, why the UFC business model isn’t changing anytime soon, and why fighters will never unionize the way fans think they should.

Brendan dives into fighter pay myths, Conor McGregor’s real value to the UFC, whether Dana White still runs matchmaking, and why boxing continues to inflate stars while MMA stays controlled. There’s also a breakdown of Volkanovski vs Arman, the current contender logjam, and why “the greatest card ever” narratives rarely hold up.

This episode also marks the first edition of the second weekly Schaub Show episode featuring fan-submitted questions. Brendan answers questions sent in directly by fans, reacting in real time and digging deeper into topics the audience actually wants covered.

If you’re confused by the headlines or tired of surface-level MMA takes, this episode gives you the real context.
