On this episode of The Schaub Show, Brendan Schaub breaks down the story of Jack Doherty and three of his friendstrying to step up to Andrei Arlovski — and why that kind of confidence gets people hurt fast. Brendan explains the massive difference between influencer bravado and real fighting experience, why heavyweight legends like Arlovski operate in a completely different reality, and how internet fame can warp people’s sense of danger. The conversation highlights why stepping to a real professional fighter isn’t entertainment, isn’t a joke, and isn’t something numbers or followers prepare you for. The episode also dives into influencer fight culture, ego, clout, and why fans consistently underestimate what elite fighters are capable of, even later in their careers.
