Brendan Schaub is putting his stand-up comedy career on the back burner to focus on his family.

Last week, the former UFC heavyweight delivered a heartbreaking message, revealing that his baby daughter was hospitalized and being prepped to undergo emergency surgery. The MMA community rallied around Schaub in his time of need. Fortunately, his daughter’s procedure went as planned.

Surgery was a success. I can’t express how much love and support my family felt from everyone. The internet from my experience is a dark awful place. My views have changed recently.
