Talk:Brendan Schaub

MMA Retirement
Claims to have made the decision to retire from MMA before the Travis Browne fight in his stand-up, however this is not backed up during his comments durning the The Fighter and The Kid podcast (a few days after the fight) in which he claims he will take another "3-4 fights" and will "100%" fight again.

More generally Schaub is well known to make conflicting statements and flip his stance to appear more favourable.

Green belt in Defendo?
Anyone got a reference for this? I've never even heard of Defendo (though I did check out the link) and I'd like to see a reference for Schaub having a green belt in this discipline. Please. Dachknanddarice ( T ‖ C ) 01:43, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

There's a journalist named Axe Jay who wrote a piece about it a little while back. Not sure if he would count as a RS as it was somewhat of a no-name publication. Sorry I can't be more help, but at least you know the name of the guy who wrote the piece.66.90.145.162 (talk) 19:37, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Exhibition Record
I'm removing this. We don't include "TUF" exhibition fights for other fighters, we don't need to start making up giant MMA record tables for 3 or so fights thanks to appearing on The Ultimate Fighter. Dachknanddarice ( T ‖ C ) 15:50, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

AFL is not professional football

Please change " Before long, Schaub became a Golden Gloves boxing champ and was later awarded his purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu." to "Schaub was awarded his purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu." because the official Golden Gloves web site does not include Schaub on it's list of Champions.

 * Yellow check.svg Partly done: The source says it was actually the Colorado Golden Glove he won, so I've clarified the article. Stickee (talk) 12:11, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

Please change Brendan Schaub's comedy special IMDB rating (You'd Be Surprised) from 2.3 to 2.2. This is the actual rating of the comedy special on the IMDB site, as can be seen from the official link: Dompox (talk) 22:52, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

It needs to be corrected that Schaub died Friday October 7th via 10-7 round Ariel 2600:387:C:2E10:0:0:0:14 (talk) 05:40, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Other names: “Thiccc Boy”
“Thiccc Boy” needs to be added under “Other names”. 2601:645:8202:FA40:A053:280D:9F5F:706E (talk) 05:02, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

Your sourcing for Brendan’s “careers” is inaccurate. I recommend dropping any references to him being a “stand up comedian” because he is not. Everything else is correct but he is NOT a comedian. Thank you 98.101.109.20 (talk) 23:45, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

NFL - Claimed signing with Bills
There is no evidence that he ever actually signed with the Bills. All NFL teams have to keep public records of every single signing, waiver, including practise squads, and the 2006 records for the Bills have no mention at all of Schaub. Dimspace (talk) 22:38, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Critical Resonse
I feel like this page is hiding criticism of Schaub's comedy specials. "IMBd isn't reliable" OK, then what is? Something is to be said when there's a critically panned piece. LyonsDen1995 (talk) 14:47, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Critical reception to comedy work
It is typical for wikipedia to list consensus views of critics for shows like Schaub's Netflix special. The special was panned and that should be noted in the wiki. Bixiecribs (talk) 23:25, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Critical Reception
I agree, this article is being moderated by people who seem intent on omitting any kind of reception to his comedy LyonsDen1995 (talk) 02:02, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
