  1. It's very easy to understand why Stipe isn't a draw. He's got an incredibly boring personality, he doesn't seem to get the business, and we've seen more talented heavyweights like Cain. He's viewed as a placeholder until an elite hw arrives or returns. He's perceived as the everyman, but in a bad sense.

  2. "World doesn't care?" Yeah well I care, I like Stipe as a champ – he fights whoever unlike some picky irish whore.

    I mean srsly Conor almost made a person blind by throwing a dolly into a bus window shattering the glass and some pieces got into fighter's eyes but did he care? No, he only cared about his little man's ego.

    Meanwhile Stipe is still working as a firefighter.

    I mean you gotta be retarded to still root for Conor at this point and say he's a better champ.

  3. He said “that’s why I’m picking Stipe to win”

    2 minutes later… “that’s why I think DC gets this done”

  4. I want to see Brandon return to competition against Cyborg at 180 lbs. My money’s on Cyborg.

  5. Brendan doesn't like Stipe. They trained together so there is some history. One thing is undeniable, from the first times Schaub talked about Stipe on JRE, he was always undermining Stipe. He always finds a way to say something against him and demean him.
    You see (or may not see), Brendan is quite the problem in modern MMA. Him being in a position of an "influencer" is a problem when he "likes" or "promotes" idiotic behavior and values as important(trash talking, conors stupid behavior, colby and such are deemed good by Schaub), and completely ignores the importance of the SPORTSMANSHIP aspect of MMA. He creates opinions, and that's a problem we have in our sport. People like Brendan promoting nonsense and demoting normal behavior are not good for this sport and it has to amaze you how he got the opportunity on Showtime. I guess the most important thing is that you blab and blab. Not quality of the spoken.
    Brendan, if you ever read this – WE DO NOT CARE HOW MUCH PPVS SOMEONE SELLS. We care for the SPORT. And will always love people like Stipe or Whittaker.
    Stipe is a champion, something Schaub never could be or will be, i don't know what Schaub's problem is, but good thing he absolutely sucks in predictions and analysis and that he will again be wrong when Stipe retires DC.
