Brendan Schaub shared an intense post citing UFC President Dana White as a ‘bully’. It came after the chaos of UFC 279 as the veteran promoter criticized Joe Rogan’s friend and podcaster himself (Schaub) in the Contender Series post-fight interview. Thus, Schaub responded with a lengthy Instagram post.

The 53-year-old has had verbal online exchanges with the MMA fighter-turned-comic artist prior. And perhaps there it only needed a small comment from Dana White to reignite their beef.

Schaub wrote, “Oh god… here we go again. I’ve been nothing but cool and thought you’d learn from the last time you mentioned my name and got destroyed.”
Both of them have fired shots at each other in the past. Last year, referee John McCarthy suggested that the ex-UFC fighter got one over Dana White; Even the UFC supremo barely mentioned the podcaster after that.
Dana White’s rants in press conferences questioned
The UFC President often goes on lengthy tirades against individuals he does not like and uses similar phrases. Schaub pointed it out and called the UFC President a ‘dork with a frat bro vocabulary’.
The ex-UFC heavyweight also called out the promoter for ‘lying’ as he mentioned the ‘sheep media’ are afraid to point this out.
The podcast host said, “You were caught lying about extra compensation to the fighters. You need a reality check.”
Even MMA Journalist Ariel Helwani, whose access to UFC was restricted, talked about the same in a segment in the MMA Hour – fighters potentially being paid more for the shuffled event, but UFC President opposing it in his presser.
Dana White compared to Vince McMahon
The comic artist, who often appears on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast with longtime UFC commentator Joe Rogan and has WWE references in his discussion, labeled White as ‘low budget’ Vince McMahon.
“Every move you make is a copy cat of that dude,” said Schaub.
The martial arts practitioner also added, “Only thing you have in common is you’re both on steroids and dress like a**holes.”
Dana White and Vince McMahon share a cordial relationship with each other, with the UFC President having mentioned the former WWE Chairman often in his speeches.
Brendan Schaub reminded the UFC President of his struggling days
After comparing White to the former WWE chairman, the 39-year-old credited White’s friends for his success.
“Your origin story is a failed cardio kick boxing instructor who had two rich friends in high school to fund this business,” said the ex-mixed martial artist.

UFC and Dwayne Johnson’s shoe deal
After calling out White for hanging with Nelk Boys to look ‘cool’, Schaub mentioned how fighters are not getting any extra benefit from Hollywood star Dwayne ‘The Rock‘ Johnson’s and the premier MMA organization’s shoe deal.
Project Rock became the official footwear of UFC. Thus Schaub said, “they have to wear those awful under armor Rock shoes and won’t see a dime.”
Hey brotha @TheRock if you’re a fan of what we do make the deal favorable for the ones modeling your shoe I get it’s not your fault or your business doin it to us but show us the love you think you are. Get in our corner and support us 🙏🏾
