The recent UFC 279 event with the main fight between Nate Diaz and Tony Ferguson was a big success. However, former UFC fighter Brendan Schaub stated that there was some “chaos” at the event and he has questions about it. Apparently, Schaub and UFC president Dana White have been at a crossroads before, and now their feud has ignited again as Schaub posted a long-captioned post berating White.

Schaub wrote, “I’ve been nothing but cool and thought you’d learn from the last time you mentioned my name and got destroyed. Unfortunately, not surprised you’re a bully. Always have been. You put on a pair of designer jeans and some “hip sneakers” and think you’re cool. You’re still a dork with a frat bro vocabulary. Calling me and numerous people “dummy” “dumbass” “f*cking idiot” cause we have questions about “the chaos” at UFC279?”
American Youtuber turned boxer Jake Paul also had some online altercations with the UFC president. He commented on Schaub’s post, agreeing with what he was saying about White.
The former fighter went on to say that Dana White needs a reality check, as he was recently exposed for lying about fighters receiving additional cash. In fact, he made the observation that White is surrounded by yes men and is just a low-budget Vince McMahon. The footwear agreement Dwayne Johnson has with the UFC was also mentioned thereafter, along with how it isn’t helping the fighters.
Jake Paul once claimed to fight for free at the UFC if Dana White fulfils his demands
The 25-year-old Ohio native started boxing in 2018, and now he has become an integral part of the industry. Interestingly, ‘The Problem Child’ is now set to fight Anderson Silva on October 29th. But just in the near past, he had mentioned that he would fight inside the Octagon if Dana White fulfils his demands.

Paul appeared on the Flagrant podcast some time back, where he mentioned, “I said to Dana that I will fight for free against Nate Diaz. All he has to do is raise the fighter pay minimum to 50k, and provide them healthcare.”
