Brendan Schaub finds the UFC 332 main event unacceptable for a numbered event.
After scrambling for a headliner for the Oct. 3 card at Delta Center in Salt Lake City (Paramount+/CBS), the UFC opted to match up Natalia Silva and Wang Cong for the vacant flyweight title after champion Valentina Shevchenko (26-4-1 MMA, 15-3-1 UFC) couldn't compete due to injury.
Silva (20-5-1 MMA, 8-0 UFC) was touted as the next title challenger after back-to-back wins over former champions Alexa Grasso and Rose Namajunas. Schaub's main issue is with Cong (10-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC), who's only notable win came against Tracy Cortez at UFC 329.
"It's a tragedy of a main event," Schaub said on his YouTube channel. "That is hands down, no bullsh*t, not exaggerating – that is the
worst main event in mixed martial arts history. That is the worst main event in, not UFC, mixed martial arts history. Wang Cong should never be f*cking headlining a card, should sure as f*ck not be fighting for a title shot. That is mind blowing. There are several other women that are way more well deserving. This is literally coasting it in. This is literally going, 'The fan base ain't going to do sh*t. Eat this sh*t pie.'"
Silva vs. Cong will be the first UFC title fight broadcast on CBS, which Schaub finds ridiculous.
"This is how bad this main event is," Schaub said. "I guarantee you if you went up to Dana White and go, 'Dana, I will give you $1 million: Name three opponents Wang Cong has fought, go.' He could not do it. How did Wang Cong win her last three fights? We all know it's a decision. Guarantee Dana White cannot do that. I'm baffled that this is a f*cking world championship fight on CBS. It's just the UFC pulling their d*ck out and pissing on all of us."
