Because they almost lost him to Bellator.

Because back when BJ Penn and Frankie Edgar were the best lightweights in the UFC, there was an argument that Melendez was the best in the world.

Didn't he get this contract after the Sanchez fight or am I tripping ?

Lol I wonder what the minimum buy rate is to earn those points .
Holy shiet is Melendez not worth the terms of that deal. Bellator needs to continually put up big numbers when fighters are out of their contract, perfect scheme to push UFC down

Hard to tell the tone from what I'm reading on Twitter, but it it appears as though Joe Rogan is giving Schaub a healthy dose of the ether when it comes to his fighting career. I've gotta hear this.
Fight_Ghost @Fight_Ghost · 38m 38 minutes ago
Not a fan of Rogan, but he is dishing real shit on Schaub right now. “You looked stiff, you didn’t look like an elite fighter”.
“You are a smart dude. You know about concussions you have had. The reality is, I don’t see you beating elite guys. You have no fluidity”
Schaub says “I beat Cro-Cop”. Rogan dismisses it. “Are you comfortable getting knocked out 3-4 times in the next few years”
Rogan: “This is just reality. I know this is hard to hear”. Schaub looks near tears. Musters up “You are my boy Joe, but I don’t agree”.
“15 minutes with an elite fighter. You can’t do that. Your brain doesn’t get better from punches. Werdum, Cain is another level than you.”
Schaub totally silent now. Rogan tells him “it sucks to hear, right”.
oh gahd damn

Does Joe Rogan want Schaub to walk out? He's going in hard.
He just said you can make more money making clothes than fighting as well. He just went hard into Dana too.

Joe Rogan just compared Schaub's career to eating dick on stage as a comic, with no way of getting better.
"You're telling me I eat..."
Then Joe cut him off.
lmao

Overeem vs. Schaub. Brain trauma treatment on a pole match.

Schaub sounds like McLovin.

Schaub bit back: "You're never gonna be Chris Rock, go work in Starbucks." Jesus Christ, this is uncomfortable viewing.
I'm looking forward to Rogan's commentary on the next Schaub fight.
And all these awkward pauses make me think that the video is buffering.

No no no, first off that comment wasn't even a hypothetical to Rogan. I listened to it. He was telling the other guy on the podcast how he'd feel if Rogan (or anyone) would say that to him in order to have him stop doing comedy .

Good. Somebody at some point needs to be honest with these guys if their managers and teams won't be before their brains turn into steamed broccoli.

So was I.
For context: it wasn't directly aimed at Rogan. He was comparing the Dutch Uncle treatment he was getting to the relatively tame "man, you weren't that good" comment that Rogan apparently gave to Bryan after his special.
It was still pretty harsh. You didn't need to read between the lines that much to realise it was Schaub's comeback.
I wish more people would tell fighters in over their head how it is. No point in getting concussed a dozen times over and getting your brain turned into mush.
That goes double for Shogoon and Hendo.
Schaub went on to say that it's easy for them to say because they're set for life. Mere moments later, he was forced to participate in an interstitial advertisement.
"...you get two weeks free."
It was one of the most brutal moments I have ever seen captured by a camera.

I like Schaub. I'd rather see him commentating than Stann, and ya, I don't want to see him get brain damage. I don't mind seeing Struve and Reem give each other more damage. It's too late for them anyway.
Invicta was so good. I heard Waterson got upset so wasn't looking forward to seeing it, but it was super exciting.
Now on to watch last week's ONE.

Browne said some of the dumbest stuff i've heard at a UFC presser and that's really tough to pull off.
I have to hear this Joe Rogan shit. Sounds more entertaining than Raw was tonight. Smh...
Punk will be a co-main. You're forgetting we live in an era where shit like El Cucuy vs. Danny Castillo is a PPV co-main.

just listened to the podcast and it wasnt as awkward as i thought but joe really could have told him the shit he did in a better way. but yeah damn schaub has been knocked out like 4 or 5 times already
travis browne is a moron. he said he wants to have a rematch with werdum and i would like to see it for no other reason than to watch werdum clown on him again.

Already ducking El Cucuy
Instead of a quick KO, I would love to see Werdum beat him down for five whole rounds once more.

I listened to last Monday's MMA Hour where Edward T kind of said Trevor didn't know how to box, had poor cardio (Ed isn't really a BJJ or wrestling guy so he probably held off on commenting).
Travis has heart. I loved his comeback on Overeem. And he hung in there longer than I thought he would with a technically more competent fighter in Werdum.
I'd like to see a Brown/Barnett rematch.

There's a lot of potential fights at HW now. Personally I'd like to see:
Arlovski vs. JDS/Stipe (potential No. 1 contender fight - unless it's JDS who comes out on top.)
Browne vs. Rothwell
Overeem/Struve vs. Barnett
Bigfoot vs. Nelson (even if Mir beats Bigfoot)
Gonzaga/Mitrione vs. Oleinik
Schaub vs. Rosholt

Pretty hard to watch. Wish I had saved the Henatch show for AFTER watching that instead of watching it before.

Well,
I think Rogan himself has changed his stance after having guests on like Rhonda Patrick. On her latest appearance ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnO1hXvAV2c&index=31&list=UUzQUP1qoWDoEbmsQxvdjxgQ ) you could just see how horrified he becomes as she goes into detail about how much damage, even micro concussions will fuck you up. He's mentioned many times how watching friends getting headkicked the fuck out in his TaeKwonDo days was some of the most uncomfortable shit he had ever seen.
They even get into it. Rhonda at one point goes; - Fighters should know if they are in the increased % of people who will much more easily develop permanent brain damage (like herself, and 25% of the general population).
Rogan then answers, that it wouldn't matter as many fighters feel that they are the exceptions to the rule. A true warrior with a heart of champion, and they will make it, and deal with it when the time comes.
