Retired UFC heavyweight fighter Brendan Schaub has recently been throwing shots at UFC president Dana White. One of the issues he brought up was how the ever-brash and outspoken company executive is “trying to lead by fear” by talking down to other fighters who were not able to perform based on what is expected of them.
Former UFC lightweight Josh Thomson tends to agree. In a recent episode of his own Sammy and the Punk podcast, the 39-year-old Bellator fighter also recognized how the power of White’s words can affect athletes, especially the younger ones.
