Schaub did not hide his disinterest in this card ahead of time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In the end, UFC Shenzhen turned out to be pretty enjoyable in the eyes of most fans, as Weili Zhang made history by stopping Jessica Andrade in less than a minute to become the first Chinese champion in UFC history. Schaub, however, did not watch the event, and claims to have no regrets about missing Zhang historic victory in China.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In fact, he says he \u201cdoesn\u2019t give a f**k about women\u2019s strawweight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Brendan Schaub shared his thoughts on the division on a recent episode of his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCnmeuCU-pPyx920dkJjHdDw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"s1\">Below the Belt<\/span><\/a> podcast. See it in the clip below:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Schaub\u2019s response to the social media backlash over <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UFCShenzhen?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#UFCShenzhen<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t give a fuck about women\u2019s strawweight.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/R8ZVoc1mfj\">pic.twitter.com\/R8ZVoc1mfj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; JC Moore (@CoachMoore939) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CoachMoore939\/status\/1169293864261361664?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 4, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cPeople are Tweeting me saying \u2018Oh what\u2019s up now Schaub, didn\u2019t call Zhang over Jessica Andrade,'&#8221; he said. &#8220;I sure didn\u2019t! Or in the [replies to the] post about my son [people were saying] \u2018Oh where the f**k were you on Zhang vs. Andrade?\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cDude, let me be super clear. Not only did I not watch it, I don\u2019t give a f**k about women\u2019s strawweight. I didn\u2019t even watch it, and when someone told me [what happened] I said \u2018That\u2019s cool man.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Given that Brendan Schaub in an MMA analyst \u2014 and that he fairly recently interviewed top UFC strawweight contender Tatiana Suarez \u2014 he might find himself in a bit of hot water for this comment. Time will tell how the MMA community reacts.<\/p>\n<p>The next big strawweight fight on the horizon will pit the former champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk against former Invicta titleholder Michelle Waterson. It seems safe to assume Schaub won&#8217;t be tuning in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">What do you think of this comment from Schaub?
