Morning Report: Yves Edwards, Brendan Schaub at odds again after Schaub’s ‘all-black’ UFC Tonight panel comments

Last month, Brendan Schaub got in a bit of hot water with some when he suggested that UFC Tonight was more concerned about diversity than the quality of their panelists, saying: “Sometimes you look at UFC Tonight and you’re like, ‘Alright, is that the best panel possible? Or are you just trying to check off the boxes?’ We get it, UFC Tonight FOX, you’re not racist. We get it, you have an all-black panel. We get it.”

Yves Edwards, who was on the panel that evening that Schaub made comments about, took offense to Schaub’s statements, but he and Schaub then seemingly worked things out over Twitter with Schaub apologizing for the comments and denying any racial animosity.
