This logically ends with Ronda Rousey dating Ben Rothwell, and I support this.

Dodson has cool rear end KOs including the one of Dillashaw where he turned him into a marionette.

I'm glad Rothwell is trying to promote himself.. but it's funny how bad he is at it, vs a guy like Sonnen

Sonnen should just be a fighter's self-promotion consultant. Pay him to plan out their trash talk, tweets and post fight speeches. He should be at least as good as Dolce at selling lies.

That Big Ben KO is one of the most brutal knockouts I've ever seen in terms of the effect on the victim. It looked like he was trying to wrestle angels or something.

Someone made the funniest gif of his soul leaving his body and him reaching out to get it back, I'll try to find it.

Matt Mitrione really needs to get the talk Joe Rogan gave Schaub.

A big part of Joe Rogan's truth bomb on Schaub was that Schaub has merit as a human being outside of the cage, which doesn't apply to Mitrione at all

I'm not sure who is hyping it, but Nick Diaz picked up about 10,000 signatures on his WH petition in the last couple days. Roughly 13,000 to go by Friday.

Brendan Schaub is kind of dumb but there's no reason to downplay his success as an MMA media personality. At least, I think he's less annoying than Ariel.

What I am trying to say is, I am trying to rationalize the fact that I bought one of Schaub's Abbot Kinney Fight Club t-shirts because it's totally ironic and I have terrible taste.

I listened to a couple minutes of Schaub with joe rogan and Bryan callen and those guys and came away from it thinking "well hes less stupid and annoying than the other guys", but i remembered if i wanted to listen to someone less stupid and annoying than Bryan callen or Bryan redband etc i could listen to literally anyone in the entire world

Is he really successful? I'm kind of confused how he makes so much money off nebulous podcast sponsorships when this forum is the only reason I know it exists.

enough that he'd give up being a terrible fighter for an amount of money that would be regarded as obscene when viewed strictly from the standpoint of talent. he also claims to be losing hundreds of thousands of dollars thanks to the reebok deal. my theory is that schaub has a genetic mutation that causes people to give him money he in no way deserves

Likely. But the fact remains that he's making some money from someone and that amount is and always has been too much

Schaub is using the Reebok deal as a safe face measure so that it looks like he is retiring to take a stand and not because he repeatedly got his rear end knocked out brutally. Podcasts are not big money ventures, especially when you can't use them as free ad space for your other ventures (stand-up tours, TV appearances, etc).

He provided Rogan a list of his sponsors and what they paid him on a podcast after Dana claimed he was lying about getting screwed by the Reebok deal and it was a lot. I'm pretty sure him retiring is a combination of realizing he's going nowhere and the fact he's getting paid significantly less.

If you want to believe that Brendan Schaub is smart enough to convincingly forge documents and that Dana White would not lie about screwing fighters over that's up to you.

They just did an actual live show that supposedly sold out, they're already getting FS1 money for the podcast, they sell merch, and I believe whatever show they have going on cable this fall is part of Callen's development deal.

I guess I don't understand why people are so incredulous that he would choose to goof off on air instead of getting 30/30 to train hard for 2 months and then get KO'd.

He only had to fool Joe Rogan tho.

edit: were there even actual documents? I mean a list of sponsors with numbers doesn't sound very official.

I don't think he provided proof as much as just said that he makes like over 100k per fight in sponsors, did he? Also proving things to the satisfaction of Joe Rogan seems like an easy thing to do anyway.

Re-watching the Rothwell fight, Schaub hit a pretty nasty spinning elbow and then got clipped when he went for the kill. Rothwell looks ridiculous but he can really floor guys.
