However, former UFC fighter and renowned podcaster Brendan Schaub defended ‘The Problem Child’ and addressed these accusations. In an episode of the ‘Thicc Boy’ podcast, Schaub roped in 7-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady and 4-time NBA champion LeBron James and compared them to Paul.
He stated that people could not fathom how Paul was able to beat Silva and that he was suffering from the problem of being too good, like Brady and James. He then added that this was the reason why many fans try to find ways to discredit Paul’s accomplishments.
“It’s a good show it was so good you think somebody else is writing it. Hell yeah dude, this is great this is fantastic so with Jake same thing. Exact same thing, same thing with Tom Brady right dude he is 44.”
“There’s no way he’s that good yeah he’s on steroids right? We want to cut the legs from other people because we could never comprehend that somebody could achieve these accomplishments. Oh my God, Tom Brady he’s on so much sh*t, LeBron did so much sh*t.” said Schaub.
The former UFC fighter seems to side with Paul on this as he was quick to defend him against accusations and even compared him to two of the greatest athletes in the United States.

Now that Diaz is a free agent, a bout between the two could be a possibility.
Moreover, Diaz even got into an altercation with one of Paul’s team members before the fight, where he slapped the member. This adds a personal beef between the two that could culminate in a match in the future.
