Brendan Schaub doesn’t want to ruffle any feathers. He’s just trying to avoid the ridicule of his future children.

Following a unanimous-decision win over one-time heavyweight title challenger Gabriel Gonzaga at this past Saturday’s UFC 121 event, Schaub said he’d love the opportunity to face former champion Frank Mir.
