White ended his press conference with a lethal barb at Schaub
Dana White and Brendan Schaub do not have the most cordial of relationships. From numerous indirect barbs thrown at each other to several all-out call outs and allegations, this rivalry contains it all. While Dana might have been long separated from the days of openly feuding with Schaub, it’s still too tempting for him to miss out on the few opportunities to get one up on his rival, when presented on a platter.
Schaub and Dana go way back as the former was once a UFC employee. It was here that the seeds for this lifelong rivalry were sown as Brendan was not usually a fan of his employee’s practices. It came to a head when the brand new reebok deal was put into effect, which would take away a huge source of kit sponsorship revenue from the fighters.
It was here that Schaub decided once and for all that fighting was not worth the reward to him and quit to make a commentary career for him. It is here where the Dana-bashing was put on DEFCON-1 by Schaub. Most notably he gave weight to the allegations of White sleeping with the ring girls and even top WMMA talent, Ronda Rousey. Schaub dated the then undefeated fighter briefly before splitting with the company.
Dana White rests easy knowing “dumb” conspiracy theories about UFc 279 came from Brendan Schaub
Last week was not easy for Dana White, having to see his next money machine turn out to be unreliable and him having to remake an entire card because of it. We’re talking about Khamzat Chimaev coming in 8lbs overweight for his first-ever PPV Headliner against a big name like Nate Diaz.
As the reshuffled card was much better received than the original, some whispers of conspiracy, alleging all of it being staged to increase the buzz around the event were being floated. Today after the filming of the latest episode of DWCS, White addressed the rumors. White originally thought, that it was a former UFC fighter and the first ever Welterweight Champion in the organization, Pat Miletich that started spreading these rumors.
“Like Pat Miletich was saying that we told Khamzat not to make weight because we weren’t selling tickets, the f*** show was sold out going into that day at the weigh-ins, I don’t know if Pat really said, but if he did he has to be the dumbest motherfucker of the planet”, said Dana as he exclaimed that one needs to be a “special kind of idiot” to not only think that but say it publicly.
Dana then said that for that comment Miletich serves to have his brain examined, at which point another reporter pointed out that it was in fact Schaub who first made that conspiracy. After a second of contemplation Dana cheekily said, “Well I apologize to Pat Miletich and that makes sense”
The room full of reporters burst out into laughter as Dana immediately exited the stage with a smirk on his face.
