UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub takes on nine-time Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion Roberto “Cyborg” Abreu at Metamoris 2, a professional jiu-jitsu invitational event, on June 9. He’ll follow that with an MMA bout against The Ultimate Fighter housemate Matt Mitrione at UFC on Fox 8 on July 27. “It’s the pro bowl of jiu-jitsu. It’s as big as it gets,” Schaub told MMA video journalist Rick Lee about Metamoris. “It’s the 12 best jiu-jitsu guys in the world competing.

He might not win this, but it’s good that he can show off his ground.’ No. If I didn’t think I could beat this guy, I wouldn’t sign up for it. So it’s not a win-win,” he said. “If I don’t win, it is not good
