Former UFC fighter Brendan Schaub ventured into different endeavors after his career with the UFC came to an end. He became a host for a podcast and started doing stand-up comedy gigs. However, Up-and-coming comedian Uncle Lazer took a jibe at Schaub in a recent ‘Kill Tony’ podcast episode that featured Joe Rogan as one of the judges.

Brendan Schaub has had a good run as a podcast host. But many people do not share the same opinion when it comes to his comedy skills. Schaub has received a lot of negative reactions from fans for his comedy specials, The Gringo Papi (2022)’ and ‘Brendan Schaub: You’d Be Surprised (2019).

Many fans have commented that Schaub’s jokes have been borrowed from other people. They have also pointed out that his braggadocio is “blatant”, his shoutouts to famous people are “desperate”, and his weird flexes are “near endless”.

Joe Rogan was joined by comedian Jessie Johnson as the judge on a recent episode of the ‘Kill Tony’ podcast. Rookie comedian Uncle Lazer gave his stand-up monologue, where he took a shot at Brendan Schaub for his terrible comedy skills. Lazer told host Tony Hinchcliffe that he had a great New Year 2023, where the host mentioned that he did a great stand-up performance. “Had a great time at New Year,” said Lazer. Hinchcliffe replied, “You did a great stand-up comedy Saturday night. Sold out.”

Uncle Lazer then proceeded to ask Hinchcliffe to rate his performance. He asked, “On a scale of Brendan Schaub to 10, how’d you rate it?” This comment made everyone, including famed podcaster and UFC commentator Joe Rogan, burst out laughing. Hinchcliffe told that Lazer performed well considering he has only been doing comedy for five months.

Brendan Schaub has been on the receiving end of trolls, on multiple occasions. Schaub once mispronounced a UFC star’s name and received a lot of backlashes. Joe Rogan had previously taken a shot at the retired MMA fighter in his podcast. He told Schaub that it was a big risk on the producer’s behalf to launch a comedy special for someone who had been doing comedy for two years. Rogan meant to say that Schaub would have been better off without his first comedy special being released.
