A feud between UFC president Dana White and retired heavyweight Brendan Schaub has kicked up this week, following Schaub’s recent criticism of pure strikers entering the UFC ranks.
Dana White injected himself into the discussion after one of the UFC’s new promising stars Israel Adesanya disagreed with Brendan Schaub on his Instagram.
Dana was the first to pop off in Israel’s comment section, stating, “Such a f—kin tool!!!!

The only thing he could teach u is how to get KO’d. Tune idiots like this OUT.”
And of course, Schaub wasn’t going to just sit there and take such criticism without clapping back.

“@danawhite whoooooooa look who got a break from folding Ronda’s laundry to jump on instagram,” Schaub fired back. “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. Do that.”
Schaub then offered a subtle threat to the UFC boss:
