Brendan Schaub is back with another Big Brown Breakdown covering the biggest stories in MMA, UFC and combat sports.The fallout surrounding Din Thomas and Jillian Robertson continues after Robertson rejected Thomas' apology following his controversial comments about her career. Brendan breaks down why the situation keeps getting worse, the messages Robertson shared, Thomas saying his comments were partly for television and ratings, and the confusion surrounding his supposed retirement from cornering while still planning to corner Sean Brady. The MMA world also begins piling on, with Kelvin Gastelum criticizing Thomas, Hector Lombard unloading on his former teammate, and the conversation turning toward the UFC's so-called “good old boys club.” Brendan explains why he actually believes all the controversy could ultimately be the best thing that happened to Jillian Robertson's career.

On this episode of The A Game Podcast: Real Estate Investing for Entrepreneurs, Nick Lamagna sits down with Din Thomas — UFC pioneer, elite coach, commentator, storyteller, comedian, actor, and one of the most unique minds in the fight game by building skills not excuses. Din is the definition of reinvention. From early MMA days and building a life through grit and constant pivots, to coaching world-class athletes (including champions like Amanda Nunes) and becoming a standout voice in combat sports media, Din breaks down what it really takes to succeed when the path isn't clear and he is proof that legends aren't born, they're molded—in backyards and barber shops with VHS tapes and a whole lot of grit. He went from a former barber to cell phone activator to fighter and is a martyr for amateur mma in Florida even getting put in a cage for having people fight in one before it was a sanctioned thing! He made a bold decision to bet on himself leaving the well known ATT gym in Florida and went solo to follow his own vision for athletes he can mold and has made quite a name for himself as he went from the fighter to the coach and the business man now coaching up and comers and champions. You can find him everywhere including behind the mic on UFC BJJ events, Karate Combat events, behind the desk at UFC events and on Dana White's Looking for a fight with Matt Serra. Please welcome a true MMA original, the fighter, the philosopher, the master of reinvention This conversation is packed with practical takeaways for entrepreneurs, investors, athletes, and anyone chasing personal growth: ✅ How mental toughness is built (not inherited) — and how to develop grit through "small bites" and patience ✅ Why decision-making is the ultimate success skill in business, investing, and fighting ✅ The real secret behind top performers: saying "yes" fast, then adapting and pivoting when needed ✅ How to handle feedback and criticism without ego — and use it as fuel to grow ✅ Why social media can be a competitive disadvantage — and how Din protects his focus ✅ Communication, performance, and confidence: how Din used skills like acting/improv to level up in life and career ✅ Betting on yourself: leaving comfort, creating space, and letting the next opportunity find you Whether you're building wealth through real estate investing, scaling a business, trying to get your mindset right, or you're a UFC/MMA/Jiu-Jitsu fan who loves the behind-the-scenes journey of champions — this episode delivers.
With Matt Serra out for the day, Jim is joined by Mr. Reliable himself — Din Thomas — for an episode that opens with lightweight Chris Duncan checking in just days after his impressive first-round anaconda choke of Terrance McKinney at UFC 323. Duncan talks about surviving the early storm, leveling up since moving full-time to American Top Team, and why he believes 2026 is the year he finally breaks into the Top 15.From there, Jim and Din dive into one of the wildest stats of the year: 10 of the UFC's 11 active champions have been crowned in just the past eight months. The guys give their thoughts on a chaotic UFC 323 card — including two new champions, major shakeups across multiple divisions, and whether the next wave of contenders is arriving faster than anyone expected.The show wraps with unbeaten middleweight prospect Mansur Abdul-Malik, who joins fresh off his standing guillotine finish on Saturday. Mansur discusses the obsessive tape study that fuels him, the positive energy he carries inside and outside the cage, daily training sessions with Sean Strickland at Xtreme Couture, and why he's pushing for a quick turnaround to keep his momentum rolling.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
