UFC Quick Quote: Brendan Schaub is tired of fighting fat wrestlers

"If you count my fight on 'The Ultimate Fighter' with Roy Nelson, some people count that as my first UFC fight. Roy's a tough, tough guy, and you know, I lost that one and I learned a little bit. That was the longest fight I've had and so I got a little bit of experience in that. And then these last two, man, I haven't learned much. I've spent under two minutes total in those fights, and you walk away from them and I'm just so unsatisfied, man. I don't go in there expecting to finish those guys really quick - it's just happened. Right now, they got me on that Carwin track. You know, he beat two guys, knocked them out really quick, and then he got Gabe Gonzaga. So, am I ready for it? No doubt. I can compete with, I think, anyone in the top five in the world. As far as growing and becoming a better fighter, man, everyone has their plan. I can definitely beat Gabe. If I fight to my highest ability and he fights to his highest, I beat him every time. So, that's the plan. You know, the 205 division, for example with Jon Jones, there's enough guys to build him up. They have tons of guys at certain levels. At heavyweight, man, who are they gonna give me? Another fat guy? I'm sick of fighting these fat wrestlers, man. I gotta be honest with you. I'm ready for a challenge and I think this is the right step. I'm sure as heck not gonna argue with it or put up a fight. It's such a great opportunity."
Up-and-coming heavyweight hopeful Brendan Schaub (6-1) will face yet another gargantuan challenger when he collides with Gabriel Gonzaga (11-5) for a super-sized slugfest at UFC 121 on Oct. 23 from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. The Denver native tells MMA Nation on 106.7 The Fan (via BloodyElbow.com) that he's ready to take a major step up in competition to mark his territory in the heavyweight division and get into the title hunt. Anyone think he's got the skills to hang with a top five heavyweight? Or will "Napao" prevent him from ever getting there?

Nice,

Here's a thread I made a while back....
that’s got some good romoshops: http://www.bloodyfists.net/forums/showthread.php?t=12329&highlight=photoshops
Enjoy
Man I’m really starting to not like this fella. First o all, the Nelson fight was your firdt UFC fight and you got knocked the fuck out. IF this dude aint complaining, he’s praising himself. A while back he had the audacity to put him in the same category as Cain, Carwin , Brock and JDS, saying that they and him are the future of the heavys. He has no right to put himself in that group as he has not accomplished near enough as what those fighters have and your not even close skill wise. Those guys have the right to brag and claim the top spot and praise themselves as much as they want, but they choose not to. I hate when fighter praise themselves, just trying to get other people to praise you. Yoy aint done shit to deserve praise and youe not even top 10, so just stop. Now he’s complaining that he fights just fat people and can beat any top 5? Lmao, please, cain carwin, brock and JDSs will put you to sleep before you have chance to get into your PJ’s. I can’t wait to see Gonzaga knock this guy out.
Shogun will have the longest championship reign in the UFC
Idk man I think.
Hes hungry and confident. Look what its done for him though. Glad to see the future is bright for MMA. With that being said, I gotta go with Gonzaga cause hes one of my favs even if he will lose or not.
NOBODY wants to fight Fedor, Except: Brock Lesnar, Shane Carwin, Frank Mir, JDS, Roy Nelson, Cain Velasquez, Matt "Kimbo Killer" Mitrione(by popular demand) and the rest of the UFC Heavyweight division.
Gonzaga has been getting his Chin cracked lately soooo
If anyone gets knocked out its Gonzaga.
If you dont like drugs then dont do them.....give them to me!

IF(big if) he beats Gonzaga
then maybe we can talk about him hanging with the big boys. Schaub has alot of potential upside but its too soon to say he can or cant
i dont give out free signatures
Pulling for ya Gabe!
Anyone know if he still trains at Team Link in Mass? Man imagine if this guy trained at Extreme Couture or Greg Jackson!
Do not. I repeat, do not, go to mma-core.com. I made the mistake of watching a couple UFC 108 bouts on there and I am still trying to get all the viruses of my computer. Ridiculous! You've been warned.

Brendan Schaub is delusional!
Not even top 10…. wouldn’t make top 10 outside the UFC.
No way does he hang with anyone in the current top 10 much less top 5
Talking to you is like having phone sex with a deaf girl...

Not yet maybe.
but he will eventually maybe.

way to stay humble
You’d think that getting your clock cleaned by Nelson, who was then beat up by JDS, would make him think a little bit before he starts talking like this.

Tired of guys talking like this....
Reminds me of Manny with his “genocide” comment going into the Aldo fight. I would expect fighters to be confident but please spare me the BS and then have a showing like Manny had and Schaub with Big Country.
And I forgot to add....
Hope Gabe breaks out the high leg kick KO for this one…..
Thats would be so awesome!!!!!!

Gonzaga will loosen him up prison style!
Though Schaub is a solid mid level slugger….. I don’t mind him.
I get it
Does schaub think he’s good now??? Did I miss something? Thinks he can bang with the top 5 in the world???? He can’t even be a top 20 at 205 right now

Does beating up Brock’s waterboy make you top 10 now? Give him a rematch wirh roy so that “fat dude” can put him to sleep AGAIN!
