The Truth About Losing

Brendan Schaub felt sure that people were staring at him. No matter where he went, whether he was among a crowd of strangers or trusted friends, he could feel their eyes on him.

“I felt like I’d walk into the mall or a room somewhere, even the training room, and people would be like, there’s the guy who got knocked out,” Schaub said. “I just felt so embarrassed.”

That embarrassment stemmed from his first, and so far only defeat – a knockout loss to Roy Nelson at the “Ultimate Fighter” 10 finale last December. Afterwards, when he went back home, Schaub spent the next two weeks convinced that there wasn’t a soul in the world who hadn’t seen him get floored on live TV.

Brendan Schaub believes he sent a message to the UFC brass with his first-round trouncing of fellow heavyweight Chris Tuchscherer at UFC 116. The gist of that message? It’s time to give him a big name opponent, because the “up-and-comers” don’t stand much of a chance.

Since his lone defeat at the hands of Roy Nelson during the “Ultimate Fighter” season ten finale last December, Schaub has racked up consecutive knockout victories, dispatching Chase Gormley in March, then Tuchscherer earlier this month. What’s more, he put away both opponents in a hurry, spending a combined total of 1:54 in the cage in his last two outings.

Now, Schaub says, it’s time to step up to the next level.

Writer vs. Fighter: UFC 116 Predictions With Mike Swick

After finishing 10th out of over 2500 competitors in last week’s World Series of Poker, UFC fighter Mike Swick must be feeling pretty lucky. Either that, or he was not intimidated by my 0-3 record in Writer vs. Fighter and saw a chance for an easy victory. Whatever the reason, Swick was gracious enough to agree to face me in a UFC 116 prediction contest this afternoon, and for that I thank him.

I may have gotten smoked by “Babalu” Sobral in last week’s match-up, but I’m trying to stay positive. I figure it can only help me that I got Swick to make his predictions after he’d stayed up until 5 a.m. playing poker in Las Vegas, where he says he’s been doing “very well.”

Well Mr. Swick, prepare to have your fortunes changed. Maybe. Hopefully.

LAS VEGAS — Brendan Schaub‘s name did not appear anywhere on the UFC’s official schedule, but that didn’t stop the Colorado native from making an appearance at the open workouts at the MGM Grand Conference Center Marquee Ballroom.

While Schaub was there mainly in support of teammate and main event participant Shane Carwin, in a way, it also symbolized his hope to be considered among the sport’s top-level heavyweights following his UFC 116 match against Chris Tuchscherer.

“I expect to be on the main card after this,” Schaub (5-1) told MMA Fighting. “It’s an honor to be on the Spike prelims, but after this, I expect big-name opponents. I think this will separate me from the rest of the up-and-comers. I think I showed what I do to up-and-comers like Chase Gormley and the guys on the [Ultimate Fighter] show, so I think from here it’s going to be some pretty big-name UFC vets for me.”
