Flashback to a year ago. The then Fox Sports President Jamie Horowitz threw shade at Schaub and his podcast partner for getting out of Fox despite their podcast being the best performing show in Fox' slate of online content. Schaub went ballistic and threw verbal uppercuts accusing Horowitz of incompetence, racism and conduct unbecoming of an executive in a well-known company.
A few days later Horowitz was then fired for an unrelated charge of sexual harassment towards female Fox employees. Schaub's rant may or may not have influenced the firing.
I can only wonder, can Schaub possibly be the guy to get rid of Dana by slinging dirt at him? I got a feeling Dana might be on his way out in the UFC anyhow (WME firing spree, Dana getting into boxing, TV show). I know Dana still holds a stake in UFC ownership, but can Schaub draw so much heat towards Dana, Ari (Gold) Emmanuel would have no choice but to let Dana go?
