Brendan Schaub Makes Shocking Claim On Ronda Rousey-UFC Negotiations

Schaub makes quite the claim on Rousey and the UFC.

Brendan Schaub has dropped a potential bombshell on where things stand with Ronda Rousey and the UFC.

Ever since news broke that Rousey was stepping away from the WWE ring, rumors have swirled regarding a potential return to the Octagon. UFC President Dana White has denied the possibility, saying that Rousey has been successful outside of prizefighting.

Brendan Schaub is well aware of the rumors, and he took to "The Schaub Show" to drop a massive claim about "Rowdy's" fighting future. Schaub claims a huge offer was made by the UFC, but Rousey turned it down.

"I'll say this, I have it on good authority they offered Ronda Rousey more money than you can imagine to come back, and she said no," Schaub claimed.

Schaub pointed out that Rousey has a slew of ventures that are working out for her and she doesn't need to fight again.

"Maybe Dana didn't do the deal, I'm not saying Dana offered it," Schaub said. "From what I know, they offered her more money than God and she was like, 'I'm good.' Ronda's very smart, has other businesses, her farms, her houses. She doesn't need to do any of it. She said no."

Rousey hasn't competed in a pro MMA fight since late 2016. She suffered a TKO loss to Amanda Nunes in under one minute. In the bout prior, Rousey suffered a shocking head kick knockout loss to Holly Holm.

Rousey's place in MMA can't be denied. She was a pioneer for women in the UFC and is a Hall of Famer. It'll be interesting to see if anyone will confirm or deny Schaub's claim.
