Schaub criticized Saki on his podcast trying to explain why Saki lost. His basic point was timing and distance are different in MMA so if you came straight in at a high level, it won't work. Stylebender posted a clip of it on Instagram basically saying Schaub was wrong. (Though to be fair, Schaub was not talking about Stylebender who took a lot of low level fights before coming to the UFC). DW then left a gem of a comment.
Brendan responds with a heater:

I haven't seen the entire back-and-forth, but even with a very limited striking background myself (boxing, kickboxing over the years, then a couple months of mma), Schaub seems correct about the distance/timing. I didn't even think it was debateable unless he was saying more than "it's different." But then who am I to argue with Adesanya.

Really? i thought it was terrible. Him trying to act like being a bad comedian somehow tops being a UFC president, when Schaub made his career in the UFC falls flat. Brendan is literally trying to become Rogan. Ferrittas took a chance with Dana because they knew he could deliver and he did, Brendan answered like a 13 year old UFC fan would. And him trying to hint at Ronda f---ing Dana, i mean how is he gonna prove that s---.

Schaub was gloating a bit since he'd predicted that Roundtree was going to win. Then he explained his thought process after the fight. I think it holds water. Saki may have jumped into the deep end of MMA too quickly. We've seen it before with kickboxers. (Joe Schilling) Stylebender did it right.

Dana was trying to bash him for having help with his career. Schaub made the point that everybody needs help. I think a 13 year old wouldn't have that insight. They'd be name calling. Similar to where Dana went.
It brings down the sport. Schaub has become a prominent name with his web program. Dana is part of the face of UFC/TUF/MMA for a very long time.
That these guys are both so successful and come off as complete lame losers is sad for everyone involved.

You know one of his main gigs is being a comedian, right? Whether he's bad or not is up for debate.
Regardless, it sounds like you have more a problem with Schaub in general (COMPLETELY understandable, but I like the guy) rather than this response - which on it's own works. Dana takes a specific shot at him for having a successful friend help him further his career when Dana got his start by having his successful friends... well you read the exchange and know the history.
Dana White has a tough job that will piss off people just by the nature of his job. It's an unenviable position to make everyone happy all the time.
That being said, it seems like the guy goes out of his way to start things that only pile on him more. I have no problem him being a fire breather for his product in terms of PR and fighters. However, this is a non-issue. He only elevates Shaub who has stood on the backs of others to get where he is (the UFC and Rogan).
I've defended White when he lights up journalists or fighters, but this petty stuff is certainly above his pay grade.

His first post about how Dana was able to get away from folding Ronda’s laundry to get on Instagram was hilarious. Like Schaub or hate him, everything he says holds weight nothing Dana is saying has any weight to it just having a tantrum.

Haha. Both were funny. I never really liked Brendan when he was fighting, but I don’t mind him since.....The comment about kickboxers, wasent even aimed at Stylebender; it was aimed at Saki, so Dana jumped on him and automatically assumed he was talking about Stylebender. Brendan has to stand up for himself so ripped into him back. No biggie. Dana won’t care, he sure can take it just as much as he can dish it out.

Both are acting like children no matter how you try to justify it.

Children is one way to put it, petulant jackasses is another.
