Brendan Schaub recently appeared on TMZ Sports, and the retired MMA veteran claimed that former Heisman trophy winner and NFL star Tim Tebow could have been the UFC’s heavyweight champion.
That’s right: Tim Tebow, the heavyweight champion of the UFC.
“If Tim decided when he was younger to pursue the UFC, he'd be the heavyweight champion of the world,” Schaub said. “His skillset and his mindset, I don’t know anyone -- and this is including the UFC -- that has a tougher mindset than Tim Tebow.”
Schaub revealed that he has grappled with Tebow, who has since shifted his dreams from NFL quarterback to Major League Baseball player, but was coy regarding the outcome and how well Tebow did.
