Former UFC star Brendan Schaub’s first pint in Dublin was pretty controversial

Brendan Schaub

Brendan Schaub seems like the type of character you would want to share a pint with… as long as he’s not in charge of ordering.

Former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub is in the Irish capital for a string of shows as part of his “The Big Brown Breakdown” live tour.

Schaub’s confidence is undeniable. The fact that he fought in arguably the scariest division in all of the combat sports is proof of this fact.

He’s confident enough to bet a staggering amount of money and a penis photo on Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather – a fight so unusual that many analysts are actively telling people to avoid places wagers on it.

He’s also confident enough to tell the world that his first pint in Dublin was a Guinness… with blackcurrant.

Irish people are very protective of the ‘black stuff’ and a lot of them didn’t take too kindly to seeing Schaub desecrate his drink with cordial.

Some people seemed genuinely offended by Schaub’s drink choice, but the vast majority were content to take the piss and ‘let him away with it.’

This time.
