Brendan Schaub: 'The UFC's in some trouble' after Alex Pereira lost light heavyweight title

Brendan Schaub thinks Alex Pereira losing his title is a problem for the UFC.

Pereira (12-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) lost his light heavyweight title to Magomed Ankalaev (21-1-1 MMA, 12-1-1 UFC) by unanimous decision in this past Saturday’s UFC 313 main event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Schaub scored Rounds 1, 3, and 5 for Pereira, but admits he thinks “he fought terribly.” He also thought UFC 313 was a terrible card, and that the promotion is in dire need of some stars.

“The UFC’s in some trouble, man,” Schaub said on his “The Fighter and The Kid” podcast.
