UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub still feels he has to set the record straight about a universally panned jiu-jitsu match he had with Roberto Abreu at the Metamorsis 2 event back in June.

Abreu, better known as “Cyborg,” is a four-time World No-Gi Championship gold medal winner so it should’ve been no surprise that Schaub, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu brown belt with no big time tournament experience, was apprehensive to engage during the 20-minute bout.

However, in an interview with MMA Fighting, Schaub says his performance was about executing a specific gameplan and an icon of the fight world actually told him he thought he should’ve earned the judges’ nod in the grappling match.

"I hear ‘Cyborg' is still upset about it," Schaub said. "Here's the thing. After the press conference, ‘Cyborg' was still going around and talking trash to everyone.”

“And Royce Gracie put a stop to it. He came over to me and he told me I fought smart and that based on the rules they were using, I won the match … Royce Gracie told me I won," he repeated. "That's all I need to hear."

Gracie, a sixth degree black belt in BJJ, won both the UFC 1 and UFC 2 tournaments all the way back in 1993 and 1994, respectively, and is considered one of the pioneers of MMA.

Schaub, a runner-up on season 10 of The Ultimate Fighter, has lost two of his past three bouts, but get back on the winning track on his most recent bout in February, earning a clear-cut, albeit uneventful, unanimous decision victory over Lavar Johnson.
