Schaub Looked Great

True, but i've always seen that usually if guys can completely shut down and dominate lower tier UFC fighters then can at least hang with the higher up guys.

Well a victory against Mitrione ... The guy may be just above the De Fries and the Peewees of the UFC .
 
C'mon mannnnnn, Shaub will get wrecked against the big boys

He seems to have learned that he can't get into firefights with his weak chin. He may have some potential. I say put him against Hunt/Bigfoot loser.


Dana mentioned that he may fill in on an upcoming card, any new info on this?

I can't see him submitting Bigfoot.
And I doubt Hunt will allow him to get the fight to the ground, either. And even if he does, Hunt's ground game has improved to a point where he is no longer an easy target there.

Schaub is not bad, but is still below gatekeeper level. Yes, he unfortunately beat my favourite fighter, but that's about it.
 
They should cut Mitrione for that horrendous performance. I guess I'll have to wait for Schaub's next fight to see his 4th HL reel KO loss.

Id give him a solid shot against any of these guys

Mark Hunt (Im a huge Mark Hunt fan, but id give Schaub a chance since if he could get Hunt down he would probably be able to sub him)
Stefan Struve
Alistar Overeem
Shawn Jordan
Roy Nelson

Hunt is probably the biggest name i'd give Shaub a chance against, and with that said he'd have to dive for a leg the second the bell rings.

Shaub is decent, but Heavyweight firefights are not his friend.

Takes an elite talent to submit Mitrione. Only 2 men can say they've done that; Schaub and James McSweeney.

Roy Nelson? Rly
 
No, not really TS, he didn't look that good.

Against Mitrione with no ground game and marginal standup, he looked OK.

Put him in the pocket with Cain, nightly night Schaub. And then try to grapple/wrestle him, no chance.

Schaub is a top 20 HW, no more.
 
Haha, loved it.
Fans on here are so petty, they can't see the woods for the trees when predicting fights.

"I hate Schaub and his chin sucks. Mitrione can KO people. Schaub loses by 1st round HL KO (that I can hopefully make 'shoops' of to get Sherdog brownie points after the fight)"

"But Mitrione's grappling is probably worse than Schaub's chin. What about that?"

"I hate Schaub"


Schaub goes out and fucking embarrasses the guy on the mat, chokes him unconscious. Great work.
 
I did think he was going to get KTFO so I guess I will give him props for that but he will probably get KO'd in his next fight......
 
"The BJJ goats time is now he will beat werdum in a #1 contender match via triangle and then sub Cain by RNC"-Sherdog

Seriously though he proved teh haters wrong and making his way back to the top 10 even though it was mittrione who isn't exactly a BJJ wiz
 
Still don't like him, but he avoided his weakness and capitalized on his strength, and got an impressive finish. Job well done.

Still a prick for knocking out Cro Cop though.
 
i thought he looked damn good too. surprised the shit out of me. i thought mitrione would steamroll him.
