The UFC Mexico City event this past weekend was extremely disappointing for mixed martial arts (MMA) fans everywhere.

Featherweights Jeremy Stephens and Yair Rodriguez main evented the night, in what many expected to be a chaotic bout. However, 15 seconds into the fight, Rodriguez poked Stephens’ eye so bad that he was unable to continue fighting. After the bout, Rodriguez began to flip out, snapping at UFC Hall Of Famer Michael Bisping, and claiming Stephens might have been milking the severity of the poke.

Rodriguez actually confronted Stephens face-to-face in the lobby of their Mexico hotel, leading to Stephens shoving Rodriguez away, as the pair needed to be separated. Now, the fight has been rescheduled for UFC Boston in October. On the latest episode of his “Below The Belt” podcast, former UFC heavyweight-turned-comedian, Brendan Schaub, offered his thoughts on the matter. (H/T BJPenn.com)

“This is what’s interesting to me about this,” Schaub said. “I could understand if it was like a new kid. Say some up-and-comer who you’re like, ‘man he didn’t seem like he wanted to be in there,’ or something like that. But Jeremy Stephens is a dog.

“You think he trained at high altitude for weeks and put his body through all that f*cking stress and the freaking hustle that he did to get in that shape, and you think he would just kinda look for a way out because of an eye poke? You’re out your goddamn mind.”

Schaub also didn’t shy away from letting it be known that he’s hoping Stephens puts Rodriguez in his place for his actions when they run things back.

“It makes Yair look bad, the sh*t he was talking about Jeremy Stephens,” Schaub continued. “Yair, the way he acted towards Bisping. That kid man, I don’t know if it’s the group around him or what but you wanna talk about mismanaged career thus far. And this ain’t helping his cause at all.

“This does not make me wanna jump aboard the Yair Rodriguez train at all. I hope they do fight again and I hope Jeremy Stephens beats the f*ck out of him after that.”

What do you think about Schaub saying he hopes Stephens “beats the f*ck” out of Rodriguez?

Brendan Schaub Reacts To Conor McGregor Incident: ‘I Finally Have To Stop Defending Him’

Conor McGregor continues to get in trouble. He had the phone incident in Miami, now he has allegedly punched a man in a bar.

Conor McGregor continues to get in trouble. He had the phone incident in Miami, now he has allegedly punched a man in a bar. For former fighter-turned-comedian, Brendan Schaub, he believes fans have had enough of the Irishman’s antics. And so has he, as he explained on his “Below The Belt” podcast.

“Breaks my heart, man,” Schaub said. “Can’t f*ck with him anymore, can we? I finally have to stop defending him. Throwing the dolly, doing the other stuff; beating up goons in Dublin, slapping some fat dude’s hand and his phone drops – I don’t care about any of that. This? God, dude. Can’t defend him can we? There’s nothing we can do. He just sucker-punched this old man because he didn’t want to drink his whiskey.”

Not only does he believe that, but he also says Nate Diaz, who recently returned at UFC 241, has become the bigger star than McGregor. 

“Exactly [Nate is slowly becoming the A-side],” Schaub said. “I think now because of what Conor’s doing, we’re all like, ‘Ah, alright man, we’re out.’ And then Nate Diaz somehow gone from heel to foe and we’re like, we’re rooting for him; we want him to get paid, we want to see him fight big fights. Yeah. You’re kinda like, ‘Holy f*ck. Nate Diaz is the good dude here.’ Just because what Conor – all the shenanigans he’s done. And for me to go, ‘Dude I can’t defend you’ is a sh – truckload.”

There is no question fans are starting to get frustrated by McGregor’s antics and, Schaub is no different. Many people just want to see him fight again and stay out of trouble. But, if his interview with ESPN is any indication, he seems eager to fight again, and the hope for many is he does. Of course, he has not fought since he lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov in the fourth round at UFC 229 in their lightweight title affair. 

McGregor still is arguably the biggest star in MMA, but Schaub and many have had enough with the problems he has had outside of the Octagon. 

Do you agree with Schaub that fans are tired of Conor McGregor’s antics?
