The entire fight week of UFC 279 was a whirlwind affair, laced with controversy and equally mesmerizing storylines. On the one hand, Nate Diaz got the farewell he deserved for his service to the company. On the other hand, Khamzat Chimaev missed weight by an incredible 7 pounds and flipped the fans off during weigh-ins.

The crazy turn of events called into action the conspiracy theorist within MMA fans, as they speculated the inner workings of UFC’s matchmaking. Leading up to the fight, fans had lambasted the UFC for doing a disservice to Nate Diaz. The veteran was being “fed” to an upcomer in Khamzat Chimaev, with legitimate title aspiration.

In a quick turn of events, Nate Diaz instead faced off against another fan favourite in Tony Ferguson, who he submitted in the 4th round. Fans and experts theorized if this was the plot that had been set out from the beginning by the UFC. One of these theorists was Brendan Schaub.

Close friend of Schaub, Joe Rogan has now taken to his podcast to offer some choice words to the MMA fighter turned comedian. He said, “It’s so dumb. I didn’t talk to him about that, but first of all, he’s wrong. He’s wrong about the theory. He needs a handler. He needs someone like me around him all the time. ‘What are you gonna do? No, no, no; here’s why.’ And he’ll go, ‘Yeah, you’re right.

Brendan Schaub might not enjoy the tone of the words being spelled out for him, but he might have more wounds to lick, as Joe Rogan went on, “If you’re spending any time, if you’re a busy man, a family man, you’ve got kids, wife, sh*t to do. If you’re spending any time arguing on Twitter, that’s a waste of your life.”

Brendan Schaub last fought in the UFC’s heavyweight division in 2014, enduring a loss against Travis Browne in 2014.

Since then, he and UFC president Dana White have had a frosty relationship, often trading veiled blows with each other.

Seeking an inflammatory response, a reporter had asked Dana White about Brendan Schaub’s theory, to which White simply replied, “That makes sense.

Dana White isn’t surprised by who chose to offer conspiracy theories

Brendan Schaub did not appreciate his tone, saying in a post on Instagram, “Oh god… here we go again. I’ve been nothing but cool and thought you’d learn from the last time you mentioned my name and got destroyed. Unfortunately, not surprised you’re a bully. Always have been. You put on a pair of designer jeans and some “hip sneakers” and think you’re cool.”

“You’re still a dork with a frat bro vocabulary. Calling me and numerous people “dummy” “dumbass” “f*cking idiot” cause we have questions about “the chaos” at UFC279? Also, no one is talking about *gate tickets,* I was referring to *pay per view buys* and how UFC 279 was *trending*… which you don’t release to the public, but will say “it went F*ckin great bros!”, he continued.

Schaub had more words for White, which are contained in his post.

Although some fans appreciated him going after Dana White, most fight fans have denounced him and paid no heed to his actions. Brendan Schaub’s legacy seems to be restricted to mediocre fighter turned mediocre comedian in the eyes of fans. Atleast, that’s what social media and the internet suggests.
