Brendan Peter Schaub (born March 18, 1983) is an American professional mixed martial artist and former professional football player for the AFL's Utah Blaze and as a member of the Buffalo Bills practice squad. He was a finalist and the runner-up of Spike TV's The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights.[2]

Biography

Schaub was born and raised in Aurora, Colorado. He was an all-state performer in football and lacrosse at Overland High School and received a full athletic scholarship to the University of Colorado, where he played four years as a fullback on the football team. After college, Schaub played professional football in the Arena Football League with the Utah Blaze and also spent time on the practice squad for the NFL's Buffalo Bills.[2]

Mixed martial arts

After retiring from football, Schaub returned to Colorado where he began training in mixed martial arts, a sport he had participated in often throughout his life, typically as a way to stay in shape. He found UFC middleweight contender Nate Marquardt's gym, High Altitude Martial Arts located in Denver. It was there and also at the Grudge Training Center, where Schaub splits his time that he met UFC Heavyweight contender Shane Carwin also a Grudge Fight Team member. The two became friends as well as training partners. Before long, Schaub became a Golden Gloves boxing champ and was later awarded his purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.[3]

The Ultimate Fighter

Schaub competed on the tenth season of The Ultimate Fighter fighting for Team Rashad.[4] Schaub along with James McSweeney were the two fighters Rashad Evans wanted most as they both train with him at Team Jackson. Evans made Schaub his 2nd pick and the 3rd overall.

He fought on the fourth episode against Demico Rogers defeating him via first round submission with an anaconda choke and moved onto the quarter finals. In the quarterfinals, Schaub won his fight by knockout in the second round against teammate, Jon Madsen.

In the semifinals, Schaub defeated Marcus Jones of Team Rampage via knockout in the first round. This win advanced Schaub to The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights Finale, where he was knocked out in the first round by Roy Nelson.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

In his first post-TUF fight, Brendan lost to Roy Nelson via knockout at The Ultimate Finale 10, December 5, 2009, in the first round in Las Vegas, Nevada.

He rebounded with a quick knockout win over Chase Gormley at UFC LIVE: Vera vs. Jones.

At UFC 116, Schaub was a part of the UFC preliminaries aired on Spike TV. He fought Chris Tuchscherer, the main training partner for former UFC heavyweight champion, Brock Lesnar. Schaub won the bout again via an early first round knockout.

Schaub made his PPV debut at UFC 121 in Anaheim, California on October 23, 2010. His opponent was former UFC heavyweight title contender, Gabriel Gonzaga. For the first time in Schaub's career, the fight made it past the first round, and went the full distance in which Schaub was declared the winner.

Schaub had expressed interest in fighting Frank Mir or Mirko Filipović in his next fight and it appeared he would get his wish as a fight against Mir was tentatively booked for UFC 128.[5] Rumors surfaced briefly that Schaub was to face Stefan Struve at UFC on Versus 3.[6]

Schaub earned another knockout win with a huge counter-punch on Mirko Filipović at UFC 128 on March 19, 2011, a day after his 28th birthday. The knockout won Schaub the "Knockout of the Night" honors.[7][8][9]
