someonestolemysocks - As far as a jiu-jitsu match against Mir, Schaub is open to that, too.
"He'd have his hands full," Schaub said.
He can't possibly believe this shitt, can he?
"I'd outstrike Mark Hunt"
yes he does, he's one of those people that believes those "Believe in anything and it will come true", and doesn't learn through new evidence that it's hogwash.
"I believe in my skills, I'm confident I can beat him" = Confidence
"I can outstrike a guy who I have never proven I can strike nearly as good as, and I can submit a grappling legend in MMA" = Delusional
Mike126 - Why the fuck does everyone hate Schaub? Smart guy with a bright future if he gets his shit together.
(Just in case your post wasn't sarcastic)
People hate him for the exact reason this thread was started - he calls out dudes who are considered past their prime so he can hopefully get a "name" in his win column. Dude just lost to Arlovski and looked at the top 15 and called out the one guy with the worst record there (actually I can't understand why Mir is still listed there). It's cheap and he's been doing it for years. People don't like that.
If Schaub is calling out big names, Josh Barnett is looking for a fight.
I'm not trying to call Josh a gatekeeper by any means, but if Brendan can beat Josh then he is actually in the mix as a potential contender. If not, he slides off the PPV into prelim-land, one more loss could be the death blow. If Josh can't beat Brendan, he has lost two in a row to guys who had just lost to Arlovski and Bigfoot. Not a good look for either guy.
There are more exciting matchups that could be made, but for my loot this is a truly relevant HW fight.
LOL I dislike Brendan a lot but if he took on the nickname Turok I would gain some respect/like for him. Always will hope he gets sent swimming for his soul like again Rothwell though.
