Harsh words have been exchanged between retired heavyweight Brendan Schaub and UFC president Dana White over the past week, but Schaub says the matter extends beyond their relationship.
On his Below the Belt program, Schaub gave an explanation as to why he and his former boss are butting heads over a few pointed comments on social media. White went after Schaub on Instagram for what he perceived to be an unfair analysis of middleweight prospect Israel Adesanya — Schaub would later say he was offering a critique of another kickboxer-turned-MMA-fighter Gokhan Saki, not Adesanya — and Schaub responded in kind, including a written “warning” for White telling him to let the issue go.
