Did Gable Steveson Pick the Wrong Mentor?

Did Gable Steveson choose the right mentor—or the most dangerous one to imitate?

In this clip, Chael breaks down a thoughtful warning made by Brendan Schaub after Gable publicly referred to Jon Jones as a mentor. That single word carries weight. A mentor isn’t just someone you admire for what they do in competition—it’s someone whose life, habits, and decisions you may try to replicate.

Jon Jones is one of the greatest fighters who has ever lived. There’s no debate there. But his path is unique, chaotic, and non-transferable. Brendan’s point wasn’t disrespect—it was responsibility. Young athletes don’t just copy success inside the cage; they often copy what happens outside of it too.

I explain why Jon Jones’ career worked for Jon Jones—and why trying to follow that same blueprint is risky for anyone else. We also talk about mentorship, post-career purpose, and why greatness doesn’t automatically translate into guidance.

There is only one Jon Jones. Admire him—but don’t try to become him.
