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?”

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.
