Schaub admits to boring, safe strategy to secure win and save job - Mixed Martial Arts News

"I had to win tonight," Schaub said. "The last two fights I lost, I fought with my guts rather than my brains. But tonight I needed to win this, so I used my brain. I know people were expecting a slugfest, but I've been working hard on my BJJ and thought I could sub him. At one point, he was talking to me on the ground saying, 'Come on, dog, let's stand and give the fans a show,' and I said, 'Sorry, bro, I gotta win this fight.' And he said, 'I hear ya.'"

Well the UFC is going to have to do something or this is how a lot of the fights will be going down in the future.

According to Dana the UFC needs to trim about 100 more fighters from the UFC's roster. I'd put ole Schaub right at the top of the list.

He should have given the fans what they wanted... a huge highlight reel KO.. with himself on the losing end.

To fight like that and then come out and publicly admit how much of a lame-ass you were being isn't going to earn his way to better fight slots. Dana should keep on the roster i guess, but keep him on the shelf for like 18 months and tell him he's just playing it safe with using him on a PPV event again

No blames goes to Lavar Johnson and his horrible TDD/grappling/ground game ability? Instead of telling the other fighter you want to get off the mat, how about you physically get him off you and get up yourself?

Watching LJ was like watching Kongo a few years ago. This massive person just falling over and going into turtle mode. Sad as well.

It was boring but at the same time standing with Lavar Johnson is scary as hell. Maybe if he went for subs or ground and pound he wouldn't be in this spot.

Not sure if someone like Schaube would get a cut of the PPV sales anyhow, but atleast putting him on the shelf for a while would send some point to others. The only problem I have is the ground is a big part of MMA, and until we get judges who understand it much better it I don't see a end to the problem.
Why doesn't someone like Big John apply for his judges lic. I think these would help trend this problem away.

That sorry piece of shit. Exploiting his opponents weaknesses, using a game plan to get a much needed win so he doesn't lose his job. What a dumb fuck, I hope he flips his car and steps on an anthill.
