UFC TKO’s Strickland via PAYCHECK | TFATK Ep. 1229

Bryan Callen is back from Europe, and Brendan Schaub wastes no time giving him hell. The boys discuss reports surrounding Tim Kennedy’s ambush in the Congo, push back on conflicting details, and share their concern for their longtime friend.

Then, Sean Strickland’s frustration with the UFC sparks a conversation about fighter pay, restrictive contracts, and whether boxing offers a better payday. Brendan explains why Strickland speaking out matters, and why leaving might be harder than it sounds.

Plus, Texas vs. California high school football, the reality of NFL practice-squad money, Dana White’s boxing ambitions, upcoming UFC matchups, and the usual chaos.

Is Strickland right to push back on the UFC? Drop your take in the comments.
