If the fight world had listened to Brendan Schaub, the melee that followed the Conor McGregor-Khabib Nurmagomedov match at UFC 229 would have come as no surprise.
The former UFC fighter appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast earlier in the week and voiced his concern about attending the super fight in Las Vegas due to the potential of violence in the crowd.
His prediction came to fruition as Nurmagomedov jumped out of the Octagon following the fight, inciting a massive melee both in and outside the cage.
