Breandan Schaub Dana Whtie Twitter Beef

Dana White-Brendan Schaub feud escalates with 'last alarm' in scathing Twitter post (Updated)

Remember when UFC President Dana White went on the "UFC Unfiltered" podcast and said he didn't know annihilation about Leslie Smith's labor complaint against the UFC because, equally he put it, "I'm at a point in my life where I don't focus on that (expletive) anymore. … I become to do all the fun (expletive)."

Yeah, well, apparently that fun stuff includes taking time out to yell at sometime fighters on Instagram.

Here's how it started: Retired heavyweight Brendan Schaub made some comments on his podcast about the loftier expectations for kickboxers who transition to MMA.

"I think everybody is all high and mighty on these guys who come from kickboxing, boxing backgrounds," Schaub said on his "Below the Belt" podcast earlier this week. "When they come over to the UFC, they expect them to exist elite strikers. The distance, the combos, the caput movement, the number of variables, information technology'southward a completely different game. So to me that never translates."

UFC middleweight Israel Adesanya heard these comments and seems to have assumed that Schaub was talking about him.

That conclusion makes some degree of sense, seeing as how Adesanya (14-0 MMA, iii-0 UFC) was a loftier-level kickboxer earlier coming to MMA. Then over again, he as well merely won and looked keen doing it at this past Friday's TUF 27 Finale, where he beat Brad Tavares (17-5 MMA, 12-5 UFC), so now would exist a foreign time to criticize his transition. Information technology would make much more sense to level that criticism at Gokhan Saki (one-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC), who got knocked out by Khalil Rountree (7-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) in just his third MMA fight at UFC 226.

Regardless, Adesanya posted a video of Schaub's comments to his Instagram, forth with a series of dismissive comments to advise that he did not concord with this assessment.

And who should prove up in the comments of Adesanya's post? None other than the president of the earth'due south biggest MMA promotion.

"Such a (curse) tool!!!!" White wrote. "What the (expletive) does this idiot know about the sport or the business??? @stylebender for u to exist listening to one give-and-take from this MORON is a waste of ur time. Guy went half dozen-5 in the UFC!!! The but matter he could teach u is how to get KO'd. Tune idiots similar this OUT."

Just to clarify, that's the 48-year-former grown adult UFC president leaving comments on Instagram, telling other people what would be a waste of their time.

Schaub, unsurprisingly, wasn't nigh to let that comment slide. So he jumped in there with 1 of his own, while also clarifying just who that annotate near kickboxers was really directed towards.

"@danawhite whoooooooa look who got a interruption from folding Ronda'due south laundry to leap on instagram," Schaub wrote. "Bravo sir. He's right @stylebender what do I know listen to the bald fat guy who has never been in a fight in his life. Exercise that."

"Y'all're a monster," Schaub and so wrote to Adesanya. "I was referring to guy with Lil mma Feel (Saki) was my main point coming straight to UFC or major mma leagues. You have a ton of experience in mma before getting to the UFC."

And lest anyone try to tell White that Schaub is perchance not the worthless failure he's made him out to be, particularly in his post-fighting life, solely because he lost a few fights? Don't worry, the UFC President has an reply for that, besides.

Then what practice nosotros have here? Simply a bunch of grown men insulting each other on Instagram, trying to scrap away at i another's accomplishments for the sake of their own personal pride.

Because why should bodily, literal kids get to accept all the fun of interim the fool and trying to hurt each other's feelings on social media? Multi-millionaire sports executives manifestly enjoy information technology just as much.

UPDATE: The situation escalated with Schaub later issuing this lengthy argument, insinuating that he and White are "Eskimo brothers." Look it upward if you don't know what that term ways.

This is hilarious. Yeah, Joe Rogan, one of my all-time friends has played a pregnant role in my mail service fight career, no doubt, you lot're right well-nigh that DW. Two tv shows, sold out earth wide one-act tour, ii successful podcast, and just booked my first major picture show. Super grateful. HOWEVER, if information technology weren't for the Fertitta'southward loaning your ass millions of dollars to invest into an thought that wasn't yours from the start you wouldn't be (EXPLETIVE). How's it experience to know once the real businessmen/Brains left, the UFC has been a crush of its cocky with you at the forefront. You've tried it all CM Punk experiment, begging Brock to come back, and praying at night for a Conor text. Tough task to practice with out Lorenzo holding your hand making sure you don't mess it all up. Can't feel good. You'd exist a cardio kick boxing double-decker in Boston in your late 40's, hoping to grab a ticket to my stand up front row if Lorenzo Fertitta didn't save your ass. Also, this is NO way Eskimo brothers should talk to one some other. Last warning. 🤫
