Brendan Schaub Blasts USADA Over Their Testing Of Jon Jones

Another week, another hot take from Schaub.

Brendan Schaub blasts USADA while discussing the current situation involving former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones failing his latest drug test.

The former UFC heavyweight star turned podcaster and comedian spoke about the situation on his MMA podcast. He would discuss how USADA has been handling the issues going on Jones’ case stemming from his latest drug test.

Brendan Schaub Blasts

He believes that USADA is more concerned with giving the appearance of being useful. Instead of being effective when it comes down to drug testing.

“Again, I tell you guys this all the time, if you think USADA’s organization is the end-all-be-all. Iis the goody two-shoes of the world when it comes to drug testing, you’re fooling yourself,” Schaub declared. “A man who has been notoriously known for failing drug tests gets tested once?!

“I’ve always been skeptical of USADA. Always.

“Of course [Daniel Cormier]’s gonna pass the tests. Of course they have to test the athletes, of course they have to test certain guys, but does no one find it kind of sketchy that the guy who we know 100 percent is going to pass the test, gets tested more than the guy who is known for failing tests?! And I’m not even a conspiracy theory guy. But does no one think this is f**king strange? How crazy is that?”

The Stats

It should be noted that Cormier has been tested 11 times thus far this year. On the flip side, Holm has been tested five times. To add to his point, even Brock Lesnar has been tested three times since being added into the pool this summer. Thus, this makes Schaub a little too convenient.

“I really don’t give a s**t,” Schaub continued (transcript courtesy of MMAFighting). “I really don’t. It’s just a little obvious. Be less obvious USADA. If you’re gonna be in on the gig – wink wink – at least make it a little less obvious. At least test Jon four times. Can you do that over a year period? Can you go there four times? You’re testing anyways in Albuquerque, can you test the man? Is that too much to ask for?”

“Again, I don’t want you guys to catch Jon or DC or anyone doing anything,” Schaub concluded. “Don’t ruin my sport. You already f**ked it up enough. Just don’t test him. Or post fake testing. Just say you tested Jon, I don’t give a f**k. But don’t say you tested him once out of the year and you test DC 11 [times] and tell us you’re doing your job.”

Brendan Schaub Rips UFC Over Banking on Greg Hardy

Brendan Schaub Rips UFC For Promoting Greg Hardy Over Nick Newell

Schaub was fired up in this rant about Dana White.

The post Brendan Schaub Rips UFC For Promoting Greg Hardy Over Nick Newell appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Brendan Schaub rips the UFC and its President Dana White over their decisions is something that has been a trend over the past few years. The former UFC heavyweight star doesn’t agree with the latest tactic that the promotion decided to go with that involved two interesting names.

Those names are Greg Hardy and Nick Newell. They both competed on the second season of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series on UFC Fight Pass, which is their streaming service.

Newell is an established veteran and former World Series of Fighting title challenger but did not win in his fight on the show against Alex Munoz. As a result, Newell didn’t get a contract and White took one step further by stating that he’ll likely move on from Newell.

Many fight fans are believers in the prospect and thought he should be given another chance. However, White is not due to him thinking that Newell has a disability despite winning all of his fights except for two.

Brendan Schaub Rips

Schaub does have a history of having words with White over the years for a number of reasons. The main reason is due to Schaub’s take on White not treating the fighters the way that they should. The former UFC start went off on White for promoting Hardy over a guy like Newell during a recent episode of his Below the Belt podcast.

“I just don’t understand. I don’t understand why he’s in that bulls**t Contender Series,” Schaub said (transcript courtesy of MMAFighting). “They’re just doing it for reviews. They’re riding and dying on Greg Hardy which is hilarious. It just shows you the nature of the business and what you’re dealing with with Dana White being a promoter.

“I would bet my life on it that Nick Newell sells more tickets than Greg Hardy, especially as an established fighter who’s a congenital amputee. His story is so much better. Not to mention, you’re worried about Nick Newell. Nick Newell has, I don’t know, 20 times the amount of experience than the rest of these guys in the Contender Series. He fought at a high level, the World Series of Fighting. We can hate on the World Series of Fighting, however, Marlon Moraes, Justin Gaethje, David Branch, Anthony Johnson, Andre Arlovski – I can go through the list of high-level fighters who have competed in World Series of Fighting. To not give him an instant UFC contract is just wrong, man. It’s wrong.”

Hardy’s Background

The second professional mixed martial arts fight for the former NFL star is in the books as he beat Tebaris Gordon on the August 7 episode of the show. This bout marked the first on Hardy’s new four-fight contract with Zuffa, the parent company of the UFC.

Hardy made his pro-MMA debut on the season 2 premiere (June 12, 2018) of ‘Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contenders Series.’ He faced off against fellow former NFL player Austen Lane in a heavyweight bout.

The Problem

Hardy does have a history of domestic violence that started back in 2014. It all started once he was arrested for allegedly assaulting a former girlfriend and communicating threats against her life. As a result, he was convicted of domestic violence. However, after an appeal, the charges were eventually expunged from his record, which has led to people being skeptical of why the UFC wants to do business with him.

“And to highlight a guy like Greg Hardy. Greg Hardy – not the person, as a person that guy, I wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire for what he’s done to women, allegedly – however, him as a fighter, he’s an older heavyweight, has an NFL background, we’ve seen how this story works out. Trust me, we’ve seen how this story works out.

He’s gonna be knocking out these lower level guys. He’s not UFC caliber. He would get beat by everyone on the current roster in the UFC. Everybody right now. But you’re gonna invest time and marketing dollars into that guy and not Nick Newell, who has fought for a world title? There’s only about four or five major leagues in mixed martial arts. World Series of Fighting is one of them. It’s produced some legit f**king champions. Marlon Moraes is a real f**king threat to T.J. Dillashaw. Lance Palmer, who is over there right now, could probably beat 98 percent of the UFC if he came over. So it’s like, to shun a guy like Nick Newell is just silly.”

“There’s only one person making these calls: Dana White,” Schaub concluded. “Same guy that s**ts on fighters. The same guy who talks **** about Francis Ngannou but then highlights Greg Hardy. What the f**k are we doing?!”

Brendan Schaub Rips Dana White For Berating UFC Fighters

Brendan Schaub isn’t fond of Dana White’s treatment of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) athletes. Schaub and White aren’t exactly friends, but they are allegedly “Eskimo brothers.” The slang term means two men who have had sex with the same woman. Schaub is Ronda Rousey’s ex-boyfriend, so you can come to your own conclusion on that […]

Brendan Schaub Addresses Drama With Dana White

Brendan Schaub has addressed his latest beef with UFC President Dana White.

Brendan Schaub has addressed his latest beef with UFC President Dana White.

The former UFC heavyweight star turned podcaster and comedian spoke about the latest drama with the UFC boss on the latest episode of his MMA podcast, Below The Belt, where he talked about the issues and how there is too much negativity in this world.

If you recall, just last week, there was a miscommunication stemming from one of UFC middleweight Israel Adesanya’s Instagram posts after the rising prospect thought Shuab was criticizing him after his latest fight at the TUF 27 Finale, which is when White ripped the former UFC star and they went back and forth on social media firing shots at each other.

“There’s a reason [that] after I launched that tweet, that Instagram comment. There’s a reason why I had. I mean tons of fighters reach out to me. Tons of UFC employees reach out to me. Tons of employees from Reebok reach out to me, former fighters, media members. Why do you think that is? Cause everyone’s thinking this, [Dana White] motivates by fear. That’s not a way to run a business. That’s not the way to do things, it’s 2018.

You can’t do that. Why do you think all of those people are reaching out to me? Why do you think this is getting so many likes? Why do you think this is the topic of all this stuff? Cause you’re a d**k and no one can say anything cause they’re scared to lose their job.

I’m not, I need nothing from you. I need no approval, I don’t need promotion, I don’t work for you, I do none of that. I tell the truth, you’re a d**k. You’re a d**k man, you’ve made it, you’re at the top of the mountain shouting but don’t shout negativity.”

Schaub would go onto say that the actions of White regarding people losing their jobs as he pointed out White getting Ariel Helwani fired from FOX is petty and that people who have made it in life, aren’t petty and don’t have these ego problems. He also stated that coming after him is insane.

Schaub made it clear in his response to the whole situation that he understands why Adesanya was upset even though the situation wasn’t solely what he thought it was and that when he would be criticized when he was fighting, he would use that as fire for his next fight and has no issues with the prospect.
