“If you had a wrestling match with Cain Velasquez, how well do you think you would do?” asked Rogan. Schaub confidently replied that he would surprise people in a straight-up wrestling match against the former two-time UFC heavyweight champion.

I really do.” The BJJ black belt added, “I think he’d f**k you up.” Before the clip ends, viewers can see Schaub’s perplexed reaction to Rogan’s comment.

The former UFC heavyweight levied serious accusations against the UFC. He said the promotion orchestrated the whole weight miss fiasco to promote the card, which wasn’t selling well. Responding to Schaub’s claims, Rogan said, “But first of all, he’s [Brendon Schaub] wrong. He’s wrong about the theory. He needs a handler. He needs someone like me around him all the time.”

Rogan’s comments did not sit well with Schaub, who fired back at him and Dana White. He said,

Do I? Or does your boy [Dana White] need a handler? I’m not the one playing grab a*s with Mark Zuckerberg, letting him rent out thicc boy studio [referring to UFC Apex Arena] shutting it down for his own entertainment. You should have ran that by me, right?”

Schaub concluded by saying, I don’t need a handler. These guys need a handler.”
