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.
The rash of alleged Twitter identity thefts continues in the MMA world, or so we are told.
