Here lies Brendan Schaub. We told him not to stand and trade. Did he listen?

Prediction: wrong Johnson   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  


Schaub is hardheaded and not in the good way, he hasn´t learned to not brawl and keeps getting KO´d I don´t know if he´ll ever learn but for now I´m sticking with Lavar, he has a better chin, longer reach and great power and that is not a good combination for Schaub and the odds against Lavar is just the cherry on top for me

Prediction: wrong Johnson   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  


Easy win? How by decision? Johnson hasn't been to a decision in 23 pro fights, so that is doubtful. By submission? Shaub has never subbed anyone in his 11 pro fights, three of which he was T'KO'd in, which is Lavar's bread and butter.

Johnson has:

zero decisions, wins or losses,

one TKO loss on his record,(way back in his pro debut in 2004!!!) and

five subs losses (a means to a win that Schaub has yet to record).

Seems like the safest route is to call a Johnson KO since that's how most of his fights go and all of Scaub's losses have gone).

 

The odds are not forever in Schaub's favor. (Even if the betting odds are, haha).

Prediction: correct Schaub   wrong Submission   wrong Round 1  

Johnson has no ground game.  Schaub is what, a purple belt in BJJ?  That should be plenty.  

Schaub isn't a great HW, but look at who he lost to.  Rothwell, Nogueira and Nelson.  All three of those guys would beat Johnson handily as well.  

Schaub will push him into the fence, dump him on his ass, and probably get the mount instantly.  Schaub might get the TKO from there, but I'm sure Schuab is probably training arm triangles or something like that for this fight.  I think a sub is likely.

@Alias Schaub BJJ won´t protect his chin and the thing is not the lack of skills but the stubborness of his game, he keeps getting into brawls and his skills go out the window, so what makes you think he suddenly will change his game and use his brain and skills (specially one that he´s never used before) to take the win, and even if he did he still has to get pass Lavar long Jab and killer overhand

What chance in hell does schaub have?

His best chance to win is grab a hold of Johnsons limb and hope that he taps.

This is one of those picks that scares me . Shaub could win this on the ground easy . And he couldnt possibly be dumb enough to keep it standing after seeing the Beltran and Barry fights could he ? But then he was dumb enough to trade with Rothwell so its up in the air.

I wanna see him take him down, and submit him in the 1st(if Pat Barry can have me screaming "TAKE HIS ******* ARM, TAKE HIS ******* ARM") Im pretty sure a gracie brown belt can submit him. His chin is the only thing that bothers me lol

Prediction: correct Schaub   wrong  

We are both taking Schaub on this one.  Johnson can win but who has he really beat?  He TKOed Barry and Beltran.... Barry after nearly getting submitted by him.  Brendan will survive early and lay Lavar to rest later in the fight.

I've went back and fourth on this fight so many times. I really think this all comes down to how hard Schaub has trained his wrestling. I think if he tries to stand and bang there is little doubt that he gets knocked out.

Prediction: correct Schaub   wrong Submission   wrong Round 1  

Basically, Schaub opened a slight favorite because he has more ways of winning this fight. (Distance by cardio, submissions, TKO). We seem to pretty much all agree that Schaub's chin has been broken too many times in battle. Therefore, Lavar KO RD 1 is the most likely outcome. Everytime comes down to Schaub's fight IQ in the end and this is where the batlle will be won or lost. The question is question is can you trust schaub to execute a plan with a weak chin ? We all know Lavar has absolutely zero ground game. Pat Barry almost submitted him. If Schaub takes this to the ground he will most likely sub Lavar.

Schaub will not stand with "big"' cause he will be flat on his back within three minutes. I'm taking Johnson KO, cause Schaub has no chin.
