Retired heavyweight fighter Brendan Schaub is not happy with a lot of things about UFC 313.
The podcaster and comedian was less than pleased to see Alex Pereira lose his light heavyweight title to Magomed Ankalaev in the main event of Dana White‘s latest pay-per-view show, which took place in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
However, one painfully dull fight on the $80 PPV card left Brendan Schaub absolutely furious
‘Big Brown’ vented his frustrations at White and the other big bosses in the aftermath of UFC 313.

Brendan Scahub slams ‘worst fight in UFC history’
On Monday, Schaub broke down the event he thinks was spoiled by Amanda Lemos vs Iasmin Lucindo.
The strawweight contest was a 15-minute snoozefest that will only be remembered for Joe Rogan’s blooper while commentating.
Lemos vs Lucindo came just after Maurico Ruffy’s Knockout of the Year contender win over King Green.
It really brought the mood down, and Schaub is blaming the UFC bosses for putting the fight on a PPV main card.
“Buddy, it is the worst fight in UFC history. Whoever thought to put her and her opponent on a main card in a UFC [PPV], it is such low-level skill-wise fighting,” he said.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but Dana, Mick Maynard, Sean Shelby, love you guys, but f—— stop it because I paid $80.
“When you display that, it hurts your brand. You cannot sit here and tell me Amanda Lemos and Iasmin Lucindo are two of the best fighters you have to offer, and you’re asking the public to pay money for it?”
Brendan Scahub thinks UFC fans are being exploited
The former top-15 UFC heavyweight thinks having low-level fights on PPV cards is exploitative.
Schaub continued: “You are taking advantage of your fanbase and especially the hardcores, you’re f——us over.”
“When you have a UFC 313 card headlined by your biggest star, on the main card you put a watered-down fight of two non-skilled people, well now you’re just taking advantage of the fanbase. You’re just assuming that the brand is bigger than anything and you can keep shoving this s— down our face.”
“There is no way on f— you can sit there and tell me that those are the two most technical and talented fighters, whether it’s man or woman, I don’t give a f— about that.
“Pound for pound, skill for skill, you cannot sit there and tell me they deserve placement on a UFC pay per view that I had to buy. There’s no way, dude. There’s no f—— way man. You gotta stop that.”
“Buddy, when it comes down to pay-per-view and you’re asking for the public’s money during the current climate we’re in with inflation, eggs are $8, and you’re gonna give me this fight matchup of these two non-skilled f—— strawweights on a main card?”!
