Brendan Schaub calls out ex Ronda Rousey on new boyfriend’s domestic violence allegations

Brendan Schaub isn’t keeping quiet on Ronda Rousey’s rumoured new relationship.

The UFC heavyweight used to date the women’s bantamweight champion and his latest comments on Rowdy would suggest that he considers her something of a hypocrite.

Rousey is rumoured to be seeing number five ranked UFC heavyweight Travis Browne who is currently under investigation by the promotion after his wife accused Browne of domestic violence.

Browne’s estranged wife Jenna Renee took to Twitter this week to ridicule Rousey, claiming that she started seeing Browne even though she knew he was a married man.

And Schaub revealed his opinion on the matter on his podcast this week when he hinted at double standards on Rousey’s behalf after she criticised Floyd Mayweather for his domestic violence history but then started a relationship with someone who was under investigation for similar behaviour.

“It’s tough when you’re like, uh don’t be a do nothing bitch and you hate on Mayweather, and then your boyfriend’s over here beating the shit out of his wife. And not to mention, he’s still married. So it’s tough when you’re a role model.”

The clip emerged online this week when an episode of The Fighter & The Kid podcast was streamed live but the comments could be edited out of the final cut, although Schaub is adamant that the unedited version will appear.
