Speaker Time Text
joe rogan
Five, four, three, two, one!
Dude, I brought you to the dark side.
Now you're playing quick.
brendan schaub
I got my ass whooped.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, you were in a fucking melee.
There's three other dudes in there blasting.
It's a one-on-one map.
That map's chaos.
It's so fun, though.
How fun is that shit?
brendan schaub
It reminds me of GoldenEye.
Did you ever get into that?
joe rogan
How dare you?
brendan schaub
Nintendo 64?
That was a great game, bro.
joe rogan
That game can suck all the dicks.
You're using those stupid Xbox things.
brendan schaub
You mean a controller?
joe rogan
Mouse and keyboard is where you're at.
That's why you're getting fucked up.
You don't even know how to move.
brendan schaub
It was hard for me to move back and forth.
If it was a controller, game on.
joe rogan
What?
For sure.
Yeah, because nobody can move.
Yeah, if nobody can move, then you're alright.
brendan schaub
With controllers?
joe rogan
Listen, dude, that game's chaos.
Jamie and I have been going back and forth for fucking four or five days now.
jamie vernon
You'd be surprised.
There are a couple guys that can compete, a few, that can compete with the mouse and keyboard.
joe rogan
I wouldn't be surprised.
I'm sure they can, but they have zero life, and they don't even know what a pussy looks like.
brendan schaub
But Quake is old school.
Quake's old school, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, we're on Quake 4, but there's Quake Champions that you play online.
We've been playing Quake 4 because we could set it up on what's called a local area network, a LAN, and it's real easy and there's no latency.
It's just direct from computer to computer.
brendan schaub
It's fun.
jamie vernon
I was just thinking of the one guy.
He's a really aggressive workout dude.
joe rogan
What's that?
jamie vernon
The guy that I'm thinking of.
He's a video game player.
joe rogan
Oh, he's really good?
jamie vernon
Yeah, his name is Nick Merckx.
joe rogan
I'm only kidding.
I'm sure he gets pussy.
brendan schaub
There's some good looking dudes.
joe rogan
Yeah, I'm sure there are.
I'm sure there are, but it's not fun to say.
brendan schaub
No.
joe rogan
It's fun to say that they weigh four pounds.
brendan schaub
You like to picture them as trolls.
joe rogan
Yeah, they can't find their dick.
brendan schaub
But now those kids make bank.
unidentified
They do.
joe rogan
They make so much money.
brendan schaub
There's even hot chicks who play video games.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
Well, it's a good move for hot chicks.
brendan schaub
Twitch.
joe rogan
There's hot chicks that hunt, and they wear makeup and shit, full eyelashes and shit, because it brings them into that world, and then all the guys are like, hey, look at her.
She likes what I like.
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Titties and guns.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
And they're, like, staying in front of, like, an endangered species with their tits out.
joe rogan
Like, there's hot girls that take Muay Thai class, right?
And they get all serious, angry-faced, don't talk to anybody, pretend they're real fighters.
brendan schaub
Let's relax.
joe rogan
Some of them are real.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but let's relax.
joe rogan
Some of them are not, though.
Some of them get super serious.
brendan schaub
That's when I whisper like this, let's relax.
joe rogan
Yeah.
When they say, I don't like when people say, I'm going to train today.
I'm like, what are you doing?
Are you taking Pilates?
Are you training?
That's not training.
Are you training for what?
What are you training for?
brendan schaub
The apocalypse?
joe rogan
Are you training for some dick?
These goddamn games, they're so addictive.
brendan schaub
You were, like, straight up addicted to them, right?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, I had a real problem.
Well, I kind of got a little bit of a problem now.
Jamie and I have been talking back and forth.
He's up on me a little bit, too.
That's why I have to kick Jeff out every now and then, just so Jamie and I go one-on-one.
One-on-one, last time I fucked him up, and he quit.
brendan schaub
Well, because me and Jeff are easy prey, right?
joe rogan
Jeff's not easy prey anymore.
Jeff was easy prey for a little bit.
jamie vernon
If I won all these games, how long do you think we'd be here playing quick?
brendan schaub
True.
If you won all these games, he's too competitive.
joe rogan
What are you saying?
You lost 13-5 because you were trying real hard?
You got fucked up, son.
I lit you up.
Dude, he's tanking.
brendan schaub
He's tanking, he says.
Yeah, sure.
joe rogan
Fucked him up.
Bang!
The problem with having another person in the thing is he always goes after Jeff first, gets that easy kill.
brendan schaub
That's what I'm saying.
joe rogan
Then he comes and gets me.
brendan schaub
I could barely get my fucking beak wet.
You guys were killing me right away.
joe rogan
No, Jeff's starting to win.
He came real close to win that last one.
jamie vernon
I think he's practicing while we're not watching.
joe rogan
He's definitely practicing while we're not watching.
unidentified
That's awesome.
brendan schaub
Jeff should be playing right now.
joe rogan
He should be smart.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Well, I told him to fucking lift weights, too.
I'm like, dude, you got this whole gym here.
While the show's going on, watch the security camera, get your pump on.
Jack, son!
brendan schaub
He could.
It's all out there.
joe rogan
So let's talk about these fights.
brendan schaub
Bro.
joe rogan
First of all, let's start with Diego motherfucking Sanchez.
All these young guns sleeping on Diego Sanchez.
brendan schaub
Fully redeemed himself.
joe rogan
Do not sleep.
Do not.
Just do not.
Just don't.
Because he will fuck people up still.
brendan schaub
How about Mickey Gall bit him?
Do you see that?
unidentified
I saw this.
brendan schaub
That's crazy.
joe rogan
There's a video of him biting him?
brendan schaub
Well, there's a video of Diego going, look at this shit.
joe rogan
Yeah, Diego, I saw on his Instagram, he showed his chest where he got bit.
That is crazy.
brendan schaub
I thought...
They said Mickey Gall had a hard cut.
Like, a really hard cut.
Maybe that's one of the reasons he got so tired.
I just don't think that...
So far, he's just...
The skills aren't there yet.
He was out of his element a little bit with Diego.
Like, Diego outclassed him.
joe rogan
Diego is a monster.
I mean, you're dealing with a guy who has 40...
Look at that bite mark.
That is crazy.
brendan schaub
Who bites?
Who the fuck bites?
joe rogan
Mickey Gall.
Mickey Gall bites.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Guys have bitten guys before.
brendan schaub
You can't be on my team.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
You're off the team.
joe rogan
It's not good.
brendan schaub
It's a bad look.
joe rogan
Diego didn't say shit to the referee.
He just kept smashing him.
brendan schaub
Dude, he is such a savage.
joe rogan
He's a savage.
He's been fighting since he was four years old in the UFC. He won Ultimate Fighter Season 1, 2005. 14 fucking years ago.
brendan schaub
Fought at middleweight.
joe rogan
Yep.
14 fucking years ago.
You gotta stop and think about what an insane career that is.
And his last two fights, I think his last fight was Craig White.
Is that who he fought last?
Smashed that dude.
brendan schaub
Smashed.
joe rogan
And then smashed Mickey Gall.
brendan schaub
Dude, he's the mascot for Jacksons, right?
Like, if there's a logo, it's Diego Sanchez.
joe rogan
Yeah, and for everybody who knows, that is Brendan Chobb's voice.
brendan schaub
I sound like Alec Jones right now.
The thing is, Joe.
joe rogan
No, you don't.
brendan schaub
A little bit.
joe rogan
Not loud enough.
Yeah, you're right.
You sound like Brendan Chobb with a cold.
brendan schaub
See, I don't feel sick.
joe rogan
You don't feel sick, so it's just a sore throat?
brendan schaub
Yeah, I'm not sick.
joe rogan
But how does your throat just go?
Were you screaming at someone?
brendan schaub
No.
I was chilling.
I did two podcasts before this.
joe rogan
Are you practicing wolf owls or some shit?
unidentified
I don't know.
I don't know.
brendan schaub
Sometimes my voice goes, I'm not sick, but I feel great.
joe rogan
That's weird, because I am sick, a little bit.
brendan schaub
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, I had it over the weekend, and yesterday I felt like dog shit.
brendan schaub
Do you work out?
joe rogan
I worked out, not yesterday, but Saturday.
I worked out Saturday.
It probably wasn't a good idea.
brendan schaub
They say when you work out, when you're sick, it makes it worse because your immune system's down.
I usually power through it, too.
joe rogan
I lift it, too.
And, you know, it's not smart.
brendan schaub
No.
joe rogan
Yeah, but I'm okay today.
I'm just like a little worn out, but my voice is alright.
brendan schaub
You just need some rest.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I'll be fine.
brendan schaub
Traveling doesn't help.
joe rogan
No, it's the worst, man, because I always take the first fight back because I want to see my family.
brendan schaub
So you get no sleep.
That makes it worse.
joe rogan
Yeah, I was up at five.
So, Mickey Gall, in that fight, he asked for that fight.
That was a fight that he was begging Dana White to give him.
He thought it was a good fight for him.
He thought it was a good matchup.
I don't know why people think that.
I guess because he's been knocked out, right?
Al Iaquinta KO'd him.
Matt Brown KO'd him.
brendan schaub
He's a big name who's been doing it for a long time, so these young guys go, oh, I grew up watching him.
Let me get him.
joe rogan
Well, I think they also think he's been doing it for so long.
brendan schaub
And they're right.
joe rogan
Yeah.
But he's still so fucking tough, man.
brendan schaub
He has all the skills.
joe rogan
Yeah, he still has all the skills.
And his ground and pound is fucking ferocious.
And once he's on the ground, then he doesn't...
I mean, if there's a hole in Diego's game, you would have to say against elite strikers, he has a real problem.
brendan schaub
Correct.
joe rogan
Against guys like Matt Brown.
He's going to have problems.
He's just not as fluid as those guys.
You know?
brendan schaub
Yeah, Diego's grappling's amazing.
Amazing.
unidentified
Amazing.
joe rogan
And his ferocity cannot be questioned.
unidentified
He's just...
brendan schaub
Mental game's ridiculous.
joe rogan
Savage.
Just to think about the enthusiasm Diego has after all these years in the game.
All these years in the game.
brendan schaub
Unbelievable.
joe rogan
Crazy.
brendan schaub
How many years?
How many years?
joe rogan
Well, what we know, 14 years in the UFC. But he fought before that.
He was a veteran.
I mean, he had several fights before the UFC. King of the cage?
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
He's old school.
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
Crazy.
Crazy how long he's been doing it.
And, again, how long he's been doing it and how much he loves it still.
And he says CBD is really helping him.
He's got his own CBD. 2002. God damn.
That motherfucker's 17 years in.
brendan schaub
17 years.
joe rogan
He fought Michael Johnson in 2000. Ring of fire.
Is that the same Michael Johnson?
brendan schaub
No way.
Michael was six years old.
joe rogan
What's that?
jamie vernon
His name would probably be tagged there if it was.
joe rogan
Yeah, it would, right?
brendan schaub
That's not Michael.
joe rogan
Wow, he fought Shannon Rich on his third fight.
Shannon Rich has like a million fights.
Click on Shannon Rich.
brendan schaub
Look at Mike Gaiman, the Joker.
Old school.
joe rogan
2003. Click on Shannon Rich.
How many fights does he have?
I'm going to say he's got...
How many does it say?
brendan schaub
Does it say his record?
53 and 79. Jesus Christ!
It's the worst record I've ever seen.
joe rogan
That's crazy.
That is crazy.
brendan schaub
Shout out to that guy though for keeping with it, you know?
joe rogan
That is crazy.
He's lost 79 times.
Jesus Christ.
jamie vernon
42 kickboxing matches.
joe rogan
Oh my God, and 42 kickboxing matches.
Jesus Christ.
brendan schaub
But kickboxing is kind of killing it.
35 and 7. Not bad.
joe rogan
But that's an insane amount of experience.
But just stop and think about 17 years in, Diego's still slinging.
And so much enthusiasm.
That's the crazy part.
It's not just that he's fighting, that he fights.
He just fights fucking angry.
He's got his own CBD company now.
He gave me some of it.
brendan schaub
Any good?
joe rogan
I haven't tried it yet.
He just gave me some bottles of his stuff.
But he really believes in CBD. A lot of fighters do.
It's helping them a lot.
brendan schaub
I swear by it.
Me too.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's amazing.
Amazing stuff.
brendan schaub
Spectrum CBD oil.
That's what I use.
joe rogan
I mean, there's so many good companies now, but another fight that was crazy, how about Colby and Pedro Munoz?
brendan schaub
Are you talking about Colby?
Well, you skipped past Zabit and Jeremy Stevens, which I thought...
joe rogan
Crazy.
brendan schaub
Crazy and no.
I mean, for Zabit to beat the number six guy in the world, it was good.
joe rogan
Good fight.
What'd you think?
brendan schaub
Um...
I didn't think it helps to beat Stock.
Because there's so much hype on him.
joe rogan
You didn't think he looked great?
brendan schaub
You didn't think he looked great?
joe rogan
Really?
Well, first of all, he's fighting Jeremy Stevens.
Jeremy Stevens is fucking dangerous.
You can't make any mistakes with that guy.
brendan schaub
Zero.
You're getting knocked out.
joe rogan
You didn't think he looked good?
brendan schaub
I thought he looked okay.
I didn't think his Stock went through the roof with that fight.
You didn't walk away from that fight going, oh my god, I can't wait to see him fight again.
I thought he looked good.
But when you hear Mark Henry, his coach, talk about him, I mean, they talk about him like he's the next fucking...
joe rogan
Did you see that 360 roundhouse kick he tried?
brendan schaub
Yeah, I missed.
I was like, Jesus Christ.
joe rogan
He's so fast.
He's really fast.
And his round kick to the body is just so fast, like lightning.
brendan schaub
Amazing.
He's such a talent.
Such a talent.
joe rogan
Yeah.
So technical, too.
Everything he does is very smooth.
brendan schaub
Doesn't get hit.
Doesn't play that game.
joe rogan
No, no.
brendan schaub
Doesn't play the game that Cody Garbrandt played with Pedro Munoz.
joe rogan
Cody's fight was crazy.
brendan schaub
It was three losses in a row.
joe rogan
Three KOs in a row.
I just couldn't believe he was standing with him like that.
He got him hurt, and then he got hurt, and then he was determined to take him out, and then they were literally going...
Right hand, right hand, right hand.
brendan schaub
Until someone fell.
joe rogan
Yeah, and Pedro can take a shot.
brendan schaub
So can Cody.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
They both ate shots.
joe rogan
He ate some big ones.
brendan schaub
But it makes no sense if you're Cody.
He's so technical.
joe rogan
I know, it doesn't make any sense.
brendan schaub
He said it was a headbutt.
He said he got headbutt and then just saw Rhett.
joe rogan
Well, he definitely did.
He definitely got headbutted.
brendan schaub
Very Aaron Pico-ish.
joe rogan
And he talked about it.
He said he saw Rhett, like got angry after he got headbutted?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, he can't do that.
Yeah, you gotta fight intelligence.
I mean, obviously, it's super easy for us to say.
You know, sitting here, drinking coffee.
Yeah, don't fight angry, bro.
You know, it's easy to say.
But that's also what makes him so dynamic.
brendan schaub
Agree, it's what got him to the party.
But as a former fighter, it's like, coming off two losses, which I've been there, you're usually a little more like, alright, I'm not gonna go down that road.
I've been knocked out twice.
I know how that ends.
If I get hit, let's learn from our mistakes.
That's what's the troubling part.
joe rogan
Yeah, and he has a speed advantage.
Pedro Munoz has very good timing, but I think Colby has a speed advantage.
brendan schaub
Technique and speed on the feet.
On the ground, it's all Pedro.
On the feet, it's Cody all day.
joe rogan
I mean, Cody Garbrandt is still only 27 years old and still could be world champion again.
No doubt about it.
brendan schaub
Three losses, Pedro Munoz, okay, he played that game loss.
But then the other two are TJ Dillashaw.
Okay, so the champ has your number.
joe rogan
Who gives a fuck?
And in both of those fights, he hurt...
T.J. Dillashaw.
He's just got to be more cautious and fight more technical.
brendan schaub
More disciplined.
joe rogan
Yeah.
You know, I mean, it wouldn't be a bad idea to get some mental coaching.
You know, get some game plan coaching.
brendan schaub
Which he might have been doing.
joe rogan
I don't know.
Yeah, I'm just speculating.
I don't know who he's training and striking with either, but, you know, to mix things up more and be more unpredictable would also be a good thing.
I mean, obviously, the last exchanges were just not predictable at all.
It's a I mean, not unpredictable at all.
Fully predictable.
Just right hand, right hand, right hand.
Just chaos.
Think about it.
brendan schaub
His last win, he beat Dominic Cruz, which is you've got to be cerebral in that fight to beat Dominic Cruz.
joe rogan
Yeah, he had Dom's number.
It was a different kind of fight.
It's interesting.
Dom said that he did the exact thing that Cody did in their fight, that he got hit and he got emotional and he fought reckless.
brendan schaub
Dom did.
joe rogan
Yeah, and that Dom went after Cody that way.
brendan schaub
Interesting.
joe rogan
Yeah.
He said, I know what it's like.
You lose your game plan.
You get wild.
Yeah.
It's hard to see him get KO'd three times in a row like that.
brendan schaub
He's going to be fine.
joe rogan
I hope so.
brendan schaub
He'll learn from it.
But here's the thing.
When you're ranked, was he number two in that division?
It's not like, alright, let's give you a warm-up fight.
It's not boxing.
There's no warm-ups.
He's going to get Jimmy Rivera or fucking Al Jermaine.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It's like, oh fuck, those are tough fights.
And you know, those guys might argue that they don't want him because he's lost three times in a row.
brendan schaub
Jimmy Rivera's coming off a loss too, though.
joe rogan
That's true.
brendan schaub
Sterling actually called him out, which is weird because he's ranked, you know, he's ranked five, I think, but he's coming off a win, you know, a huge win.
joe rogan
Right.
brendan schaub
So with Sterling, it's like...
joe rogan
Sterling called out Covington?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
I mean, Garbrandt?
Yeah.
I'm saying Colby Covington already, because I'm already thinking about him.
brendan schaub
That motherfucker's good at marketing.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, he's good at talking shit and getting his name out there, and it's the best thing for the welterweight division right now, after Usman just dominated Tyron Woodley.
I was blown away by that fight.
brendan schaub
Me too.
joe rogan
Blown away.
brendan schaub
You and I were texting each other, and it was weird, because I had people over at my house to watch the fights, and they were like, God, this fight's so boring.
And I look online, and I'm like, God, this is brutal.
I'm like...
What the fuck are you talking about?
This is one of the greatest title fight performances I've ever seen.
For him to do that to Woodley and dismantle him, you don't understand.
You have no idea what you're watching.
It's fucking insane.
joe rogan
It's not just insane that he dismantled him, which is for sure insane, but also his fucking gas tank.
Usman was pushing on the pedal for five fucking rounds, never let off the gas.
brendan schaub
How about the way he looked in between rounds?
To me, it was his mentality.
When you look from the first round, as soon as they break it up, and then you're ready and he's standing there like this.
I'm like, oh shit.
joe rogan
Do you know that the word was that he had a fractured foot?
brendan schaub
Correct.
joe rogan
So he took a fucking cortisone shot coming into that fight?
Imagine that.
brendan schaub
Savage.
joe rogan
Imagine that.
And still, no problems with his endurance.
Apparently didn't train the whole week of.
Just didn't do shit.
Still made the weight.
No problem.
brendan schaub
But think about what he has to do.
His coach is going, alright, you gotta go in there, you gotta out-grapple, out-maneuver Tyrone Woodley, who's one of the best welterweights of all time.
Who doesn't get taken down.
joe rogan
He outdid everything.
brendan schaub
Who doesn't get taken down.
And Woodley also was kind of...
I don't know.
He's 37. I don't know if he just didn't show up.
What happened?
joe rogan
I think he's 36. Is he 36?
brendan schaub
Or is he 37?
joe rogan
Either way.
Same thing.
brendan schaub
Either way.
He's been doing it for a hot second.
This is why I feel bad for Woodley.
Maybe you know, Joe.
But Woodley was always that guy where...
He didn't get along with Dana.
He was kind of difficult to deal with.
Did it his way and made some demands, won the big fight, and then it never happened for him.
He was in a big draw, but he could get away with that when he was champ.
Now that he's not champ, the road for him to get back is going to be so fucking tough because of what he did when he was champ.
That's why I feel bad for Woodley, and he's one of the greatest to ever do it.
joe rogan
He is one of the greatest he ever did.
And I was making the argument before this fight that you could argue that if he beats Usman, he is the greatest.
Correct.
The greatest is George St. Pierre, right?
He's the legend at welterweight.
You look at his career.
I mean, how many years was George a champ for?
Was it six years or something crazy like that?
brendan schaub
So you have George, Matt Hughes, and Woodley.
joe rogan
Matt Hughes has legend status because he was the original.
He was the first wrestler that really developed rock-solid submission skills.
The fights with Frank Trigg.
When he armbarred George St. Pierre in their first fight.
He was amazing.
But then the new school was George.
You know, George was the best welterweight of all time.
But I was saying that he's in the running right now.
If you consider the opponents he beat, Wonderboy twice, knocks out Robbie Lawler to win the title, and then goes on from there, beats Damian Maia.
I mean, you look at how he beat Darren Till.
For some reason, he was an underdog in the Darren Till fight, which didn't make any sense to me.
brendan schaub
Everybody got excited.
I got excited, too.
I thought Darren Till was going to win that.
joe rogan
Really?
brendan schaub
I did.
joe rogan
See, I thought Darren Till was very good, but I never saw him on the ground.
I never saw a real wrestler take him down and ground and pound.
I didn't know what he had off his back.
brendan schaub
See, I think Darren Till's going to be a problem for Usman.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
Really?
brendan schaub
His size, yeah, I think he's going to be a problem.
joe rogan
And Darren is committed to 170 still?
Is he still?
brendan schaub
I think especially now that 170, because what is, if you are a fan of fighting, what is fun is Woodley being out, the welterweight division is so fun.
joe rogan
Right.
brendan schaub
Because now Usman, Colby, you got Ben Askren there.
Now Darren Till has a shot to be a champion.
joe rogan
Well, I'll tell you what, even though Robbie Lawler lost that fight, god damn he looked good.
He looked good physically, like at the weigh-in, he looked jacked.
brendan schaub
The best I've ever seen him.
joe rogan
He looked amazing.
Apparently he had a tremendous strength and conditioning routine for this.
brendan schaub
He looked so good.
joe rogan
Yeah, he looked real good.
And he was fighting fucking ferocious, like the Robbie Lawler of old.
He didn't look at all diminished, and I think maybe the time off was good for him, because he had to get an ACL surgery, so he might have been dealing with something before his last fight, we don't know.
brendan schaub
Do you think maybe it was two where Ben Askren's so one-dimensional, he didn't have to worry about the striking at all?
joe rogan
There's a little bit of that for sure, but the fucking fight started because he launched Ben Askren into the air and slammed him on his fucking head, which is crazy.
brendan schaub
How tough is Ben Askren?
joe rogan
Ben is tough as shit.
brendan schaub
Here's the other thing.
Yes, Ben won controversially.
We don't know that.
There was still, what, two minutes left in that fight?
Dude, I've been watching the replay.
With that bulldog choke.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
With that much time, it could have got pretty diced for a fucking...
unidentified
Robbie Lawler.
brendan schaub
Robbie Lawler.
He got dicey.
We can't just chalk up.
joe rogan
Go to Ben's...
Ben, I think he put it on his Twitter or his Instagram page where you see Robbie Lawler's arm go limp.
Dude, it goes limp.
Now, here's the question.
Did it go limp because he just let it go?
Because he was trying to, like, let...
You know, just let it go.
Because he's trying to, like...
brendan schaub
That's a weird move.
joe rogan
Hang on.
Because the choke, he was, like, he's squeezing really hard.
He's going to tire his arms out.
That's what Robbie said.
It wasn't under his chin, though.
But here's the thing.
People need to stop saying that you have to be under the chin to choke a guy unconscious.
brendan schaub
No, you can do both.
joe rogan
You can choke a guy unconscious across his face.
You can go across the face, right like this, and if you have a real squeeze, you have like a Marcelo Garcia squeeze, you could put a guy to sleep.
brendan schaub
Think how strong Ben is too.
joe rogan
Ben has a real squeeze.
Phenomenal squeeze.
And he's in this position.
With that bulldog, you can get a lot of leverage in that position.
I mean, I don't know how he's gripping his hands.
brendan schaub
You know how much more torque you can get with his whole body?
joe rogan
Amazing torque.
So I don't know if he went out and then Ben let him go a little bit and then he popped right back awake.
That's what he's saying?
brendan schaub
Your natural movement though, if you're fighting a choke, your natural...
joe rogan
Is to hold on to it.
brendan schaub
Is not to go limp.
joe rogan
That's true.
That's true.
brendan schaub
That's where I'm like, alright, maybe he was out.
joe rogan
We thought he was out.
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
We thought he was out.
But, in all fairness, I thought Ben was out earlier.
brendan schaub
Me too.
I thought they were going to stop it.
joe rogan
I thought they were going to stop it.
Robbie's slamming.
I'm like, he's out.
He's out.
brendan schaub
He was fucked up.
joe rogan
I thought he was out.
But, damn, he can take a fucking shot.
He can take a fucking shot.
Because Robbie hit him with some...
brendan schaub
I was nervous for that fight for Ben.
joe rogan
It was crazy.
brendan schaub
We hyped him up so much.
joe rogan
I know we hyped him up so much.
brendan schaub
We hyped him up so much.
joe rogan
Ben, please do good.
brendan schaub
I was like, damn, this just is terrible.
But let's figure this out.
joe rogan
Let's see.
Do you have a video of it?
jamie vernon
I checked both of his pages.
I don't see where he retweeted it.
joe rogan
He posted it today.
brendan schaub
I think it was a Twitter.
joe rogan
Yeah, I think it was Twitter.
And I think maybe he might have either reposted it or replied to it or reposted it with a comment.
jamie vernon
No, he says, this is what happened.
It's just a comment.
joe rogan
Okay, well, let's see it.
When he said, this is what happened, then go to whatever he was commenting on.
I think it's the handle.
And then you'll see the video.
Whatever he was commenting on is the video.
Basically, they were saying in the video that he...
See, let's check it out here.
Jack Sparrow, there it goes.
See, carefully, you'll see that Ben loosened his chalk a little bit.
And then Herb Dean touched...
Click on that.
Click on that.
jamie vernon
It goes to a long thread.
joe rogan
Yeah, but if you go to the top of that thread, you'll see the video.
There it is, right there.
At the top.
Right there.
Watch this.
So check this out.
Look at the arm.
See that right there.
brendan schaub
That's not a normal movement.
joe rogan
But look, but Robbie does give him the thumbs up.
That's the other thing that you're not seeing.
It's not a normal movement, but it is a tight squeeze.
It does look like his arm went limp.
brendan schaub
I think he went out for a second and came to.
joe rogan
Well, Herb said, what Herb is saying is, he told Ben to stop when the arm went limp.
When the arm went limp, Ben said is that he's lightening up and that he lightened up and then Robbie came back to life.
brendan schaub
That's fair.
joe rogan
That is entirely possible, folks.
It's entirely possible.
I do not know.
But I do know that Robbie Lawler is a classy motherfucker because he complained for a little bit.
What the fuck?
He goes, alright man, good job, good fight.
brendan schaub
He's been in the game so long.
He can see him and he goes, aw fuck.
joe rogan
He's got a great attitude.
brendan schaub
He's the best.
joe rogan
He really does.
He's got a great attitude.
And I don't think his stock dropped in that fight.
I really don't.
brendan schaub
Fuck no.
joe rogan
No, I really don't.
And I would like to see the rematch.
brendan schaub
I don't.
joe rogan
Well, I want to see it again.
I mean, he says no, but...
brendan schaub
Ben says no.
joe rogan
Yeah, Ben says he didn't want to fight him in the first place.
Why would you?
brendan schaub
Fucking right.
Fucking right.
joe rogan
He was such a murderer.
He was so amped up for that fight, too.
He was so angry, and you could see it in his face.
He knew what this meant.
brendan schaub
Dude, how about Ben versus Usman?
That's a motherfucking fight.
jamie vernon
They're talking shit.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Oh, Darren Till.
joe rogan
Yeah, Ben, your performance is shit.
You barely won.
You're ugly as fuck.
Your chin is too big not to miss.
You have no respect for no one.
Oh, did I say you're a curly-headed fuck?
See you in London, Muppet.
brendan schaub
Till has a tough fight in London, though, too.
joe rogan
Yeah, Masvidal's no joke, man.
Masvidal's a very technical guy.
He's got good wrestling, too, man.
brendan schaub
He's good at everything.
joe rogan
Yep, very good at everything and very good wrestling, and I think that's probably where he's going to try to put Darren Till after that Woodley fight.
brendan schaub
It's a tough fight, man.
joe rogan
It's a bad situation for Woodley, man, because...
People are going to say, oh, he was doing all that stuff with TMZ. Oh, he's got a rap album coming up.
He's doing rap concerts.
brendan schaub
That's fair, though, right?
joe rogan
It is fair.
brendan schaub
That's fair criticism.
Because I've always been on that side of, and you know more than anyone, you told me to get the fuck out, is when you're one foot in.
Because what's Usman doing when Woodley's in the studio creating beats?
joe rogan
Going hard.
Going hard.
Usman is all in.
He's all in.
brendan schaub
You think Usman wants...
If I went up to Usman, like, hey, dude, I'll pay for a show for you on TMZ. You go, get the fuck out of my face.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
Get the fuck out of my face.
That's what he's going to say.
Get the fuck...
He'll probably get angry at you.
Get the fuck out of my face with that TMZ shit.
Dude, I was telling everybody, for years, people have been scared of Usman.
For years.
But now you see why.
Before you were seeing, people were scared of him, but he wasn't beating anybody that was world-class.
He wasn't getting those top ten guys.
brendan schaub
Damien Maia, right?
Yeah, he got Damien Maia.
joe rogan
The Damien Maia fight will forever be marred by the fact that they separated them when Damien had one hook-in and he was trying to take his back.
brendan schaub
Dude, was that fucking Homeboy?
The guy who kept standing them up?
Was that Goddard?
unidentified
What the fuck are you doing?
joe rogan
I don't know what he's doing.
brendan schaub
What are you doing?
joe rogan
Let's see who that was.
Go to Damien Maia versus Kamaru Usman and see who separated them.
brendan schaub
Who's the ref?
joe rogan
Matt the Terracero was going fucking crazy about that and he's 100% right.
Do you know how difficult it is to get a hold of a guy like Usman like that and to have one hook-in standing up and to be working to take his back and for them to separate him?
It is nonsense.
Dude.
brendan schaub
Pure nonsense.
Do you know how much harder it is?
That's hard.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
How much harder it is to take Woodley down and control him?
joe rogan
Yes, yes.
brendan schaub
And then you stand him up.
joe rogan
Yep, yep.
brendan schaub
If I'm Usman, I went, what the fuck are you doing, dude?
joe rogan
Yeah, but I mean, you stop and think- You take him down.
unidentified
You take him down.
joe rogan
You stop and think about Damien Maia's last fight, right?
Who the fuck did he just choke unconscious?
brendan schaub
He choked the fuck out of who was that?
joe rogan
Who was it?
Who did he just choke out?
Someone really good.
brendan schaub
Young kid that they fed him.
joe rogan
Okay, so here it is.
brendan schaub
Nope, that's not Goddard.
joe rogan
Who is it?
brendan schaub
It's the bald feller.
joe rogan
Which bald feller?
So here's...
It's hard to tell who that referee is.
I can't see the face.
So Usman and them, they're exchanging...
unidentified
Ooh!
joe rogan
Usman cracked him.
Who is it?
Is it Chris Taioni?
brendan schaub
I know two referees.
I know three.
joe rogan
No, it's Leon.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, for whatever reason...
brendan schaub
What was Goddard thinking, though?
joe rogan
I don't know what he was thinking.
brendan schaub
And then he threw shade online at John Anik.
joe rogan
What did he say?
brendan schaub
He said your commentary was off, so was Anik's.
joe rogan
That my commentary was off?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Okay.
I don't know what I did to say...
I didn't say anything bad about Mark Goddard.
I said I disagree with him standing up.
I don't know why he said the commentary was off, but...
Dominic Cruz did say that he can't wrestle.
The reason why he's standing him up is because he can't wrestle.
brendan schaub
Mark Goddard?
joe rogan
Yes.
No, he was saying that about Mark Goddard.
brendan schaub
Correct.
joe rogan
That's what I'm saying.
He threw shade at Goddard.
I have nothing but respect for Goddard, although I don't agree with his decision in that fight.
I do not agree with stand-ups.
I don't like stand-ups.
brendan schaub
I like Mark Goddard.
I do, too.
I think he's a great referee.
In that moment, he's wrong.
joe rogan
Well, he's probably very emotional.
unidentified
You know how hard it is?
joe rogan
Yes.
brendan schaub
But listen, your job is not to intervene the trajectory of the fight.
Your job is to protect the fighters.
Don't fuck up Usman's biggest fight of his life by standing up.
Because what happens to this, and we've seen it, what happens if he stood him up and Woodley goes, you know what?
Finally, I feel good.
Knocks him out.
unidentified
Right.
It can't happen.
brendan schaub
That's on you, Goddard.
joe rogan
It can't happen.
brendan schaub
You fucked him.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It can't happen.
What did he say about me?
brendan schaub
He didn't specifically call you out.
jamie vernon
He didn't call you out specifically.
joe rogan
What did he say?
There he is.
brendan schaub
The only thing wildly inconsistent is your and your co-coms, commentators, recollection and observation of actual events.
I will whoop Joe Rogan's ass.
That's ridiculous.
joe rogan
Whoa, that's so rude.
brendan schaub
I didn't see that.
I just made that up.
joe rogan
The only thing wildly inconsistent is your and your co-coms recollection and observation of actual events.
I'll save my side for later.
Well, that doesn't make any sense.
Recollection of actual events.
I don't know what he's trying to say there.
And co-coms.
I didn't say anything bad about him other than I don't agree with the stand-ups.
And that's not bad.
But Dominic Cruz said that he can't wrestle.
And I don't know if Mark Goddard could wrestle.
I know he knows how to referee.
brendan schaub
I know this.
Compared to Dominic Cruz, he cannot wrestle.
So Dominic's fine to say that.
Also, John Anik going hard in the paint's awesome.
He goes, yeah, you are way off.
joe rogan
Well, it's wildly inconsistent is correct, because Herb Dean is the gold standard, in my opinion.
And Herb Dean, even though that thing with Robbie Lawler is controversial...
I kind of look at it and I go, the arm went limp, man.
brendan schaub
I can see how he made that mistake.
joe rogan
I can see that.
I think it's unfortunate, and it may have been a mistake, but it might not have been a mistake.
Agree.
I'm still...
unidentified
I'm not mad at it.
joe rogan
I'm not at all.
Hey, look, man.
His job is fucking way harder than mine.
A hundred times harder.
Herb Dean's job is to protect the fighters and to stop fights and to make calls.
I don't want to be that guy.
That guy gets fucking hated on and never loved.
Herb never gets loved.
brendan schaub
No one likes him.
joe rogan
No one ever gets loved.
brendan schaub
But with Mark Dotter, don't be the guy trying to...
joe rogan
John replied.
He said, I always try to be respectful.
We just call it like we see it too.
But there's an arrogance with which you deal with the fighters, commentators, and many in the sport.
And I find it off-putting.
Whoa.
One man's take.
And I'm quite sure you'll give yours for everyone to hear.
brendan schaub
Get a manic world star.
joe rogan
Damn.
Damn.
Okay, so I believe John Eck referred to the inconsistent between each referee's decisions of when to separate the fighters, and John said exactly that's what I was referring to.
That two of the consensus best referees of the game would handle those two situations so differently.
I understand the athletes are different, but there are parallels to be drawn.
John is 100% correct.
brendan schaub
100%.
joe rogan
100% correct.
brendan schaub
Come at us, bro.
joe rogan
I feel bad that Mark Goddard responded the way he did because it's not very professional and I think it's very emotional and I think he's probably just feeling the heat.
Yeah.
I went hard on him.
Yeah, you feel that heat and you get angry.
But I like Mark Goddard.
I like him a lot.
I think he's a very good referee.
brendan schaub
I think he's top one or two refs in the business.
I love Mark Goddard.
He fucked that up.
joe rogan
My question is, I wonder who is telling them they should stand things up when they shouldn't stand things up.
brendan schaub
It's the pressure he feels.
joe rogan
The pressure he feels.
From the audience, you think?
brendan schaub
From the crowd.
joe rogan
Maybe.
It could be that.
British people are very nice.
You know, sometimes in English people, they're more combinated.
brendan schaub
You gotta know what you're dealing with, man.
When you got two world-class wrestlers, and this guy's impossible to take down, he's one of the best of all time, let it go.
joe rogan
Let it go.
Well, I think let it go, period.
I just, I do not agree with stand-ups, because I think if a guy can hold you down, like this I was saying about Ben Askren, if a guy like Ben Askren can hold you down and give you noogies until the fight's over...
brendan schaub
Do something about it.
joe rogan
Yeah, do something about it.
Exactly.
unidentified
Do something about it.
joe rogan
He's not cheating.
brendan schaub
No.
joe rogan
If he's not cheating, keep it up.
brendan schaub
Do you know how hard it is to control Woodley on the ground?
unidentified
It's impossible.
joe rogan
And he only has five fucking minutes.
You have five minutes to sink a choke in, five minutes to hold on to him and beat him up.
And look, all credit to Usman.
He didn't even fucking care.
He got stood back up, didn't complain, went right back at him and took him down again.
He's a monster.
brendan schaub
Cool story, bro.
joe rogan
He is fucking hard to deal with, man.
brendan schaub
Tough fight for Colby.
joe rogan
For everyone on the planet Earth.
brendan schaub
But stylistically, when you look at the fight for Colby, I look at what Colby does well.
joe rogan
Yeah, he does that.
brendan schaub
He does that.
joe rogan
The thing about Usman is he's got power, he's got striking, he's got wrestling, but even maybe more importantly...
brendan schaub
Cardio!
Cardio!
joe rogan
For days!
brendan schaub
And here he's a fucking savage.
joe rogan
Oh, his mind's a fucking bank vault.
unidentified
I know.
joe rogan
It's Fort Knox.
You're not getting in there.
I'm so impressed.
brendan schaub
I'm so on his dick.
joe rogan
How adorable was it?
Him with his little daughter.
brendan schaub
Oh, dude.
joe rogan
I almost cried.
I'm such a bitch.
brendan schaub
Me too.
joe rogan
I'm such a bitch.
I might cry right now.
brendan schaub
I've become a bigger pussy than I have kids.
Me too.
Me too.
Don't play the video, Jamie.
unidentified
I saw his little daughter.
joe rogan
I'm like, oh.
brendan schaub
I know, man.
joe rogan
So cute.
And just how happy he was.
brendan schaub
His mom and wife were real extra, though.
They're like P. Diddy in a bad video.
Extras!
joe rogan
Hey, man.
brendan schaub
He's the champ of the world.
joe rogan
Could you imagine what it feels like to have your husband win the fucking world welterweight title and to beat Tyron Woodley?
brendan schaub
No, I can't.
unidentified
Fuck, man.
brendan schaub
I tell my wife, take a hot back seat.
Get the fuck out of here.
And my mom sure as fuck wouldn't be in the cage.
joe rogan
Hey, man.
I feel like when someone wins like that, they can do whatever they want.
I mean, Connor's mom's always in the cage.
His dad's always in the cage.
brendan schaub
She's not fucking throwing out promo codes.
unidentified
That's true.
joe rogan
Listen, man.
And Usman, I feel like he's only like, what is he, 31 or 32?
How old is Usman?
brendan schaub
I think he's 32. He's a fucking savage.
joe rogan
He could be the champ for a long time.
brendan schaub
He scared me.
He scared me.
joe rogan
He's not.
brendan schaub
Dude, have you seen how big he is in person?
Of course you have.
unidentified
Of course you have.
brendan schaub
But when he's not cutting, he came to my Palm Beach show.
I went, what the fuck are you doing?
joe rogan
How much do you weigh?
brendan schaub
I don't know.
We're the same size.
unidentified
No.
Yeah.
brendan schaub
He's fucking huge.
He scared me.
He scared me.
joe rogan
But he's big like a super athlete, not like a bodybuilder.
brendan schaub
Can I get your dick out of my face, Guzman?
joe rogan
When you look at the way Tyron is big, Tyron's more thick.
His legs are thicker.
Short and thick.
Look at the height difference.
brendan schaub
Look at his fucking back.
He's so tall.
joe rogan
Look how tall he is, man.
And wide.
brendan schaub
He looks scary with his face painted like that.
joe rogan
We're ogling him.
brendan schaub
Dude, I'm on his nuts so far right now.
joe rogan
He's a monster.
The face paint thing was a last minute decision too.
Susie had to do his face.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
Susie the makeup lady.
I love Susie.
She's the best.
brendan schaub
She was the best.
joe rogan
She's such a nice lady.
But they had to make sure that they had the right color paint, you know, to do the Nigerian flag on his face.
Dude, he might be champ for a long time.
brendan schaub
There's great matchups.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
brendan schaub
Welterweight is so fucking fun.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
And don't sleep on Masvidal, folks.
You know, Jorge Masvidal still is capable of beating something.
Remember when he fucked up Cowboy?
Masvidal is the real deal.
unidentified
I will say this, though.
brendan schaub
He's the real deal.
Darren Till, man, he's my dark horse.
unidentified
You think so?
brendan schaub
I think so.
Unless he goes 85, but he's a motherfucker.
joe rogan
You know what happened in that Till fight with Woodley?
He didn't land a single significant strike in two rounds.
He didn't land anything in the first round, and he didn't land anything in the second round.
Just understand that.
This is the big show.
This is the world title shot.
You come out to fucking Neil Diamond, Sweet Caroline, the whole deal.
Everybody's singing along.
It's wonderful.
brendan schaub
That's London.
joe rogan
But...
But...
But he lands nothing.
brendan schaub
Alright, well here's this.
Woodley threw one punch in five rounds.
joe rogan
No, that's not true.
brendan schaub
Shit happens.
joe rogan
No, Woodley hit him.
brendan schaub
Woodley was very tentative.
joe rogan
Well, he was doing the smart thing.
The smart thing is you wait and you counter because Woodley's so goddamn fast.
That smart thing paid off when he landed that big right hand, dropped him.
And then the other problem with Darren Till is that on the ground on his back, he didn't have anything.
Didn't have anything offensive.
He was rocked.
brendan schaub
He was rocked too.
joe rogan
For sure.
But if you can move, you've got to be able to do something to protect yourself and something to tie.
He also didn't see the choke coming.
That also could be because he was rocked.
Look, if you look at the way he dispatched Cowboy, insanely impressive.
If you look at the way he beat Wonderboy, also impressive.
I mean, Wonderboy's a world-class striker, and he beat him and dropped him.
brendan schaub
Wonderboy Usman, Wonderboy's a hard code to crack.
joe rogan
He's a hard code to crack, yes.
And especially if Wonderboy has some time off to recover.
He's had some time off.
Gone through those two big five-round, three five-round fights.
The Till fight was a five-round fight as well.
So those are hard, man.
They're hard on your body, hard going through training camp.
And I want to say that I think Wonderboy had a knee injury, too, that he might have gotten surgery on.
brendan schaub
And his hand, maybe.
joe rogan
I don't know about the knee.
That might have made up the knee.
brendan schaub
The point is, the welterweight division is fun as fuck.
joe rogan
Fucking every division's fun as fuck.
Bantamweight just opened up with Pedro Munoz.
brendan schaub
Light heavyweight's kind of crunk now, too.
Johnny fucking Walker.
Dude, how about Johnny Walker?
joe rogan
Okay, Stephen Thompson said his movement was out the window after Darren Kill kicked a knee kick out.
He's also saying that he doesn't think that those kicks should be allowed, which is crazy for someone to say that kicks people in the head.
brendan schaub
Spinning wheel kicks people in the head.
joe rogan
Okay, it says, it was almost like the dude was trying to put me out.
Thompson told Ariel Helwani.
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Yeah, bro.
joe rogan
He was definitely trying to kick him.
brendan schaub
Goddamn cage fight.
joe rogan
He hit me in the knee, and after that, my movement was pretty much out the window.
I was more focused on keeping my knee.
It was just another thing to think about out there.
Well, that's a strange attitude.
Maybe that comes because he came from a karate background and not a Muay Thai background.
On the show, Thompson said he was unsure if targeting the knee with that kick like that is legal.
Well, I will tell you, it's legal.
It's definitely legal.
brendan schaub
As Whitaker.
joe rogan
So are heel hooks, which are way worse.
I mean...
brendan schaub
Do a spinning heel kick to your face.
joe rogan
Hopefully it's nothing major, but it sucks, man.
It really does.
Disappointed by the whole situation and coming out of it with an injury like that, it only makes it all worse.
brendan schaub
He has a fight coming up.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Pettis.
joe rogan
Oh, that's right.
So he must have healed it up or got surgery or whatever.
I don't understand that.
I don't understand that kind of thinking.
I mean...
He said, I was trying to hit the guy hard.
I really was.
I was just unable to put myself in a situation to do so.
And the reason for that is because he kicked your knee.
brendan schaub
Which is a technique.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's a technique.
brendan schaub
John uses it all the time.
joe rogan
It's a fucking legit technique.
brendan schaub
Whitaker used it against Romero.
joe rogan
Yes, and Romero used it against Whitaker.
brendan schaub
That's where Whitaker got it.
Whitaker went, oh, we're doing that?
joe rogan
And he went right after it.
unidentified
Cool story.
joe rogan
Yeah, you fucked my knee up in the first fight, I'm going to fuck your knee up in the second fight.
Listen, it is just as valid and maybe safer than kicking someone in the head.
It's easier to do, for sure, than kicking someone in the head.
But so what?
If you can kick someone in the fucking head with a wheel kick, that is the worst thing you can do to a person.
brendan schaub
When a boy has no point there.
He's just sad about the fight.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's unfortunate.
But again, I think a lot of that is because he came from that karate background, and he came from an above-the-waist style karate background initially.
You know, when Duke Rufus was cornering his brother, Rick Rufus, when Rick Rufus fought, I forget the gentleman's name, from Thailand, I think Lawrence Kenshin has it as the most important kickboxing match in history.
brendan schaub
Goddamn.
joe rogan
I forget who the...
Because we realized how critical...
Because this was when Rick Rufus was in his prime.
brendan schaub
He was the man.
joe rogan
He was the man.
I mean, Rick Rufus, the jet.
He would do wild shit, man.
Jump 360, turning sidekicks to the face.
He would hit guys and knock them out with hook kicks and front leg round.
Here he goes.
unidentified
Chang...
joe rogan
Try this name.
Chang Phuket Khyat Songre.
I fucked that up, I'm sure.
brendan schaub
It's a hard pass for me.
joe rogan
Duke would have said it.
Duke would have said the name perfect.
But the point is, at the end of the fight...
After the Thai gentleman destroyed Rufus' legs and stopped him, Duke, who's a world champion himself, said that he didn't think that it took any skill to do that.
Because that's how a lot of those Thai guys thought.
Watch the end of this, man.
brendan schaub
Wow.
joe rogan
Watch the end of this.
brendan schaub
He can't walk.
joe rogan
He can barely walk, but watch.
They say, go ahead.
And this dude comes out.
He goes, he knows what to do.
brendan schaub
Here we go.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
He just, whack!
Tacks those legs.
brendan schaub
If you don't know what to do, that would hurt so bad.
joe rogan
And this dude's a beast, too.
Look at the thighs on this dude.
Whack!
He's just fucking those legs up.
Hands up high and just whack!
Look at this.
brendan schaub
Dude, who's the ref?
joe rogan
Well, they didn't know any better back there.
brendan schaub
He's wearing some dope shit.
joe rogan
Look at it.
That's how they did it back there with karate.
The ref wore a fucking karate gi.
brendan schaub
Yeah, hell yeah.
joe rogan
Look at the ref's got a black belt on.
brendan schaub
Fuck yeah, he does.
joe rogan
Look at that.
unidentified
Whack!
Whack!
brendan schaub
In the ass.
joe rogan
Yeah, those leg kicks and that was it.
So after it was over, Duke, who I think was only like 19 at the time, said he didn't think that took any skill.
Obviously, Duke doesn't think that.
Now, he evolved and became a world Muay Thai champion himself.
Correct.
It's just...
brendan schaub
Ignorance is bliss.
joe rogan
But that sort of stuff...
There he is right there.
Look at that young, baby-faced Duke roof.
We'll play it so we can hear him say it.
unidentified
...but it's the way the cookie crumbles tonight.
Let's take a look at the monitor down here.
joe rogan
Back it up a little so I can hear him say that.
...I'm not sure.
unidentified
I just know that he's in pain and the leg kicks were the only thing that stopped him.
The guy did not touch me anywhere else in the body, you know.
brendan schaub
I think, you know, that Rick should have won the fight.
unidentified
He had the guy out.
There are three major fouls, but it's the way the cookie crumbles tonight.
joe rogan
He said later that he didn't think that it took skill to do that, which is...
He just didn't know anybody.
brendan schaub
He just doesn't know.
joe rogan
Motherfucker kicks so hard, too.
That style is so good.
The Thai style is so goddamn good.
It's so good.
brendan schaub
Their head movement's not...
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, the Thai style with the other techniques is the best.
If you got that Thai style, but you know how to throw sidekicks, you know how to throw everything else.
brendan schaub
Wonder Boy, Darren Taylor.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
John Jones.
joe rogan
Yeah, John Jones.
brendan schaub
John Jones was throwing up fucking...
joe rogan
Throwing everything.
brendan schaub
Arsenal of kicks.
joe rogan
It's very interesting watching him, man.
He's doing a lot of sidekicks now and spinning back kicks, turning sidekicks.
brendan schaub
How about the kicks laying into the body?
joe rogan
Yeah.
He's throwing a lot of sidekicks.
He throws a lot of everything, man, but he fucks you up.
And he's so good at keeping guys on the back foot.
brendan schaub
And just taking away their arsenal.
joe rogan
I want to say this, though, because this is something that's coming up, and it's actually kind of pissing me off.
What's that?
There's a bunch of people that have been saying, should...
Anthony Smith have laid down after he took that illegal knee and won the title.
brendan schaub
Who said this?
joe rogan
Ariel Helwani.
A bunch of other people said it.
I think Ariel was suggesting or asking whether or not he should have.
brendan schaub
That's some beta male shit.
joe rogan
Well, it's crazy because the guy should be praised for he ate the knee, he was okay, and then he wasn't even thinking about quitting.
Yeah.
brendan schaub
That didn't go through my mind.
joe rogan
It went through my mind that someone might do that.
brendan schaub
Not with Anthony Smith.
Have you ever seen him fight before?
joe rogan
No, he's an animal.
brendan schaub
That wasn't even a thought.
joe rogan
No.
Nope.
Nope.
It wasn't a thought.
I don't agree.
brendan schaub
And I wasn't like, oh, we should all give him praise for this.
I was like, no, why would he do that?
joe rogan
Well, that's who he is.
But some people, like, let's be honest.
And I think Chael Sonner would probably admit to this.
If he took that illegal knee, he might say, that's it.
Can't go on.
Sorry.
unidentified
Rematch.
brendan schaub
You get the win and keep going.
joe rogan
But Chael's a businessman.
brendan schaub
Chael's a businessman.
joe rogan
Yeah.
I mean, you get the win, you get the title, you get a rematch.
I could be wrong.
Chael might disagree.
He might say, no, I'm a competitor.
When I'm in there, I wouldn't think that way.
brendan schaub
Not now.
His age now.
joe rogan
Yeah.
The bottom line is, some people were actually suggesting that, that that would be a good option.
Many people suggested it.
I saw several people, and the fans went hard on these people that suggested it.
Like, you're out of your fucking mind.
You're out of your fucking mind.
brendan schaub
He was getting outclassed.
That'd be such a bitch move.
joe rogan
Well, unless he actually couldn't go on.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but we all saw he could.
He goes, I'm fine.
He goes, no, no, no, I'm fine.
unidentified
I'm fine.
joe rogan
Yeah, exactly.
brendan schaub
That's Anthony Smith.
joe rogan
I actually think Anthony Smith's stock I think?
You know, he doesn't give you a chance.
brendan schaub
And that's the thing with Anthony Smith.
Anthony Smith's chance was to always be first.
If you watch Anthony Smith's fights prior, he was a bulldozer, comes at you.
John went, that's what you do?
Cool, I'll put you on your back foot.
You go first?
Not in my night.
I'm going to go first.
So then Anthony Smith was defensive the entire time, trying to hand fight.
He just took away all his tools.
joe rogan
He also fought very technically in the first round.
He didn't just swing at him.
Anthony fought very technical.
brendan schaub
John actually in the first round got a little wild.
I felt like he almost felt the pressure of being a minus 800 favorite.
Really?
joe rogan
You think so?
brendan schaub
We've never seen John throw those wild punches in that first round.
He was trying to get him out of there.
Then he went, you know what?
This isn't going to be as easy as I thought.
Recalculated and then dismantled him.
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, he's the best of all time.
brendan schaub
By far.
By far the best.
joe rogan
But who in that division can fuck with him now?
I mean, Thiago Santos.
Yeah.
Which is, look, Santos is a wild card.
That motherfucker can knock out anybody.
I would have liked to see Johnny Walker not blow his shoulder out celebrating.
brendan schaub
I heard he's fine, though.
joe rogan
What?
Listen, man, he couldn't move his arm.
brendan schaub
He came in the back and they didn't even, they're waiting until I think today, but in the back after he went, I'm actually good now.
joe rogan
Okay, so what that must mean that he dislocated it, and then they popped it back in place.
So it could be fine, or there could be some significant tearing inside that allowed it to dislocate, and that could be a problem in the future.
brendan schaub
Let's say it's fine, though.
joe rogan
Let's hope it's fine.
brendan schaub
He's still not fighting John Jones yet.
He has a ways to go.
joe rogan
Listen, fill that dude up with stem cells, just get a bunch of needles in there, and fucking...
brendan schaub
A little cortisone?
Do all the fucking worms you want, bro.
joe rogan
Yeah, don't give him cortisone.
Give him some stem cells.
brendan schaub
Santos is an interesting fight for John.
joe rogan
Yes.
He's interesting because Santos throws fucking nuclear missiles at your head.
And, you know, he did stop Jimmy Nemanowa.
He stopped several guys at light heavyweight.
He looks spectacular at light heavyweight.
And he stopped Anthony Smith in their last fight at middleweight.
brendan schaub
I would imagine Santos is almost a bigger underdog than Anthony Smith.
joe rogan
I would imagine that too, but I would imagine that he's not going to fight like Anthony Smith.
Is he okay?
What does it say?
brendan schaub
I'm fine.
My shoulder's not too bad.
joe rogan
Not too bad is not a good thing to say.
I just need to do some exams and check to be 100% sure that it was nothing serious.
Okay, that doesn't mean it's okay.
Because the thing about shoulder tears, and this is coming from someone who's had some shoulder issues.
It feels alright until you do something weird, and then it hurts.
And then you're like, fuck.
And then you get an MRI, and then they look at it, and they go, oh, you got some tears in there, son.
brendan schaub
But sometimes it's not shit.
I've had problems where I'm like, dude, I'm fucked.
I can't move my shoulder.
Then two days later, like, well, fuck it, let's do it.
joe rogan
That's usually like sore tendons or sore muscles.
brendan schaub
And he was just doing the worm.
joe rogan
Yeah, but he fell face first and landed on his shoulder weird.
brendan schaub
But I'm sure he's doing that.
joe rogan
Maybe, man.
I don't know.
brendan schaub
Dude, how about his post-fight speech?
I love Mickey Mouse!
joe rogan
Yeah, he's hilarious.
He's a real character.
brendan schaub
He's a character when you work on his English, but he's going to go far.
joe rogan
Motherfucker has some power.
brendan schaub
That flying knee.
I was grilling for everyone, and I lost track of time.
I looked at the TV from my backyard, and I saw them go, let's get it on.
I just fucking dropped everything and sprinted.
That motherfucker...
Knocks dudes out in seconds.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, this is his third fight in the Octagon, but he's fighting Misha Sukronov, who's a real tank.
He's a tank, and he's got some serious grappling skill.
He chokes the shit out of everybody.
He choked out Pat Cummings in his last fight.
I mean, he chokes the fuck out of people.
But, you know, Johnny Walker, let's watch it real quick.
I mean, fucking...
But the thing about Walker is he's so loose.
He came into that fight dancing.
unidentified
Boom!
joe rogan
Look at that.
brendan schaub
Here's the thing.
What's he like when someone takes you down and we're in the third round?
joe rogan
Yeah, we're going to find out.
He's a brown belt in jiu-jitsu, though.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Watch this.
See, he slapped his own arm on the ground.
Like, let me see that again.
brendan schaub
Just jump on the cage, bro.
joe rogan
It's his left arm.
It's his left arm that hurt.
So watch this.
He goes down.
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Esther has a great photo of him going.
joe rogan
Goddamn, he's lying there.
He's like, ah, fuck, I hurt my arm.
brendan schaub
He's going to be fine.
joe rogan
He might not be fine, dude.
brendan schaub
Dude, let's wish for the best.
joe rogan
I'm wishing for the best.
Listen, I'm a fan of the guy.
brendan schaub
I'd rather see him or Santos.
joe rogan
There are so many videos of football players celebrating touchdowns and blowing their ACL out.
He's like, hey, get a doctor.
So he got up, and you know what's interesting?
I was talking to one of his teammates, and they were like, you know, you see how loose he is?
He's like, he's loose for everything.
That's just how he is with life.
brendan schaub
Have you ever seen his walkout?
joe rogan
Dancing.
brendan schaub
When he was stripping?
joe rogan
No.
brendan schaub
Oh, dude.
He was a dancer, I think, in Brazil.
Thunder down under Brazil style.
Dude, and he's a good stripper, too.
This boy probably made some money.
Dude, you gotta find it.
joe rogan
Well, he's a real interesting addition to that division.
brendan schaub
That division finally has some life back in.
Santos, him.
Who's the other dude?
God, Stud.
joe rogan
Which guy?
brendan schaub
He's ranked like number 10, I think.
Either way, light heavyweight's killing it.
joe rogan
Yeah, I know who you're talking about.
brendan schaub
God damn it.
joe rogan
God damn it, I can't do it either.
brendan schaub
Ethnic kid.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Fuck.
Let me see the division.
unidentified
He's top 15. He's actually top 10. Let me see.
joe rogan
Make that a little bigger.
brendan schaub
Dominic Reyes.
joe rogan
Dominic Reyes.
Yeah, Dominic Reyes is a monster.
He's super athletic, too.
The thing about Dominic Reyes is super smart, super athletic, and he's 9-0, undefeated.
brendan schaub
Him versus Johnny Walker would be a hell of a fight.
There's so many good matchups, like heavyweight, with the young guys.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
Reyes is a really good athlete.
The thing about him that separates him from everybody else is he has a background.
What do you have a background in?
Football?
Is that what he was?
brendan schaub
I don't think he's a football player.
I would say Johnny Walker's probably more athletic than these guys.
He's pretty fucking athletic.
He's so big in the way he moves.
joe rogan
He's so big.
brendan schaub
Weird, he's from Brazil.
His name's Johnny Walker.
joe rogan
It's named under whiskey.
brendan schaub
What the fuck?
joe rogan
How weird.
Yeah, who knows?
brendan schaub
How does Johnny Walker whiskey not just do a deal now?
joe rogan
I know, right?
Jump on board before this gentleman becomes a champ.
Have him wear a Johnny Walker t-shirt and shit.
brendan schaub
Now, again, light heavyweight will be so much better, the same thing that happened in welterweight, if Jon Jones goes, have fun, boys, and goes to heavyweight.
joe rogan
Right.
brendan schaub
None of these guys are beating Jon.
joe rogan
Very well could happen.
brendan schaub
None of these guys are beating John.
joe rogan
Well, John might fight Tiago next, and if he fights Tiago, I mean, look, John wants to fight five times a year.
So here we are in March.
It's, you know, March 2nd, he wins.
John easily could fight in May or June.
brendan schaub
He'll fight in June, I bet.
joe rogan
Easily.
April, May, June, three months from now?
Yeah, easily.
Okay.
brendan schaub
IT technical support.
joe rogan
Okay, he works at an IT technical sport.
No, NFL. You're right.
brendan schaub
Hold on.
jamie vernon
Dreamt of playing.
joe rogan
Dreamt of playing in the NFL. But didn't he play for high school?
He played in high school and college?
Not being drafted.
jamie vernon
Defensive back here for the Seawolves.
I don't know what that is.
joe rogan
Okay.
So yeah, so he played football.
brendan schaub
Oh, at Stony Brook.
joe rogan
Okay.
So he played football and then decided to...
Yeah, well...
Still.
Still.
Excellent athlete.
brendan schaub
All conference.
joe rogan
That's the point.
brendan schaub
Didn't get drafted.
joe rogan
For football, smart as shit, too.
brendan schaub
For MMA standards, he's super athlete.
joe rogan
Yeah, and smart as shit.
Yeah, you know, that's the thing.
We've talked about this before.
The difference between the level of athletes, between the guys that are going into the NFL and the NBA. They're the height of the height.
brendan schaub
Dude, what?
Watch the NFL Combine.
There's a guy who's 6'3", 230 pounds, ran a 4'3 in the 40 with a 40-inch vert.
He's a wide receiver.
unidentified
That is insane.
brendan schaub
Has the best footwork you've ever seen.
Has footwork like Dominic Cruz.
It's mind-blowing.
There's a defensive lineman who ran a 4'4", 40. A big, fat dude ran a 4'4".
joe rogan
That's insane.
That's so fast.
jamie vernon
Two 300-pounders ran sub-five seconds.
joe rogan
300 pounds, sub 5 second 40. That's insane.
That's insane.
unidentified
Dude.
joe rogan
That's so fast.
brendan schaub
Have you...
I don't know why I bring this spot in every podcast.
Have you ever seen the guy who's run the 40 and his dick comes out?
It's the best moment in sports.
joe rogan
He's got so much dick, it can't be held in.
brendan schaub
His dick plops out and he falls.
joe rogan
No!
brendan schaub
And he pops up and goes, the coach goes, what happened?
He goes, my dick fell out, man.
And they pause it, and he has this fat, black dick.
joe rogan
Let's see him go.
Ready, go.
Where's his dick?
brendan schaub
You'll see it on the rebound.
joe rogan
Oh my god, he fell on his dick.
He tucks it in.
brendan schaub
In the replay, they slow it down.
You see this big dick?
My dick fell out, man.
joe rogan
That is so fun.
Look at the size of that guy.
brendan schaub
When they redo it.
joe rogan
Let me see.
unidentified
Whoops.
joe rogan
He's like, damn it.
He decided to fall down to cover his own dick.
It's crazy that he's so confident that his dick is tough.
Look at this.
He went...
Let's see.
Break it down.
Oh, Jesus.
There it is.
Pops out.
It's like, God damn it.
Dick fell out again.
Imagine that kind of a problem.
Imagine...
brendan schaub
Jesus Christ.
This is why it's great.
joe rogan
Imagine how many women just start blowing up his DMs.
unidentified
Like...
Dude.
joe rogan
I mean, when your dick falls out while you're running, you can't even contain it.
Dude, this is what makes me laugh.
brendan schaub
Biggest moment of his life.
unidentified
He's been waiting, dreaming of going to the NFL. Did they give him another run?
joe rogan
I'm sure.
jamie vernon
Goddamn, you get two tries.
joe rogan
Sturdy pair of compression shorts?
brendan schaub
Every dude goes, I get it, man.
Let's go again.
joe rogan
This is something I'm not understanding about dudes who are not wearing compression shorts with a cup, like a diamond MMA cup.
In the NFL? No, in MMA. Like guys who get nut-shotted, like when guys have a regular cup on.
Like how?
How do you have a regular cup on in 2019?
How do you have that when you can have one of those compression cups and you're not going to get hurt?
brendan schaub
Sometimes those cups are uncomfortable and they're so big.
joe rogan
Fuck yeah, they are.
Fuck yeah, they are.
You know what's more uncomfortable?
Getting kicked in the nuts.
I don't get it.
Kenny Florian used to wear the Thai steel cup, and here's the thing.
I don't think the Thai steel cup should be legal.
But if it is legal, oh yeah, it's a nasty fulcrum.
But not only that, but even if you accidentally hit it, You're hitting a piece of metal.
Like, why is it okay to have a piece of metal?
You could break your foot.
And a guy can do something to you and slam that metal into your face.
I mean, some weird shit can happen and you can break a bone.
I mean, there's many opportunities where guys...
Like, how about this?
A guy shoots in and the guy hits him with his hips, right?
You can hit him with your hips and catch that steel cup right in your fucking mouth and break your face.
brendan schaub
Remember, Mitrione knocked out Derek Lewis with his hips.
Remember that?
joe rogan
I thought he hit him with a right hook or something.
brendan schaub
No.
Like he just sprawled and knocked him out.
joe rogan
Really?
Wow, I don't remember that.
Why did I remember?
brendan schaub
Beastie.
In like 13 seconds.
joe rogan
He hit him with that, but then he hit him with some punches too, right?
brendan schaub
At the end, but still the hips what fucked up.
joe rogan
Interesting.
brendan schaub
Crazy.
joe rogan
Yeah.
I really think that those cups, like a diamond MMA style cup, should be standard.
And I think diamond MMA probably has the best one.
brendan schaub
I didn't like them when I was fighting just because they were so uncomfortable.
unidentified
Right.
brendan schaub
I'd rather you hit me in the dick.
joe rogan
I don't think the diamond ones are that uncomfortable.
brendan schaub
Did you wear those?
joe rogan
You wore that one?
unidentified
Um...
joe rogan
I bet it's not.
We have one here.
We'll give it to you if you want to try it out, but you don't give a fuck anymore.
brendan schaub
I don't know what I'd use it for.
joe rogan
You're in there fucking lifting weights.
brendan schaub
I'm wearing it on stage tonight.
joe rogan
Like Gene Simmons in Kiss?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
He's got one with teeth on it or something.
Those steel cups, though, some dudes used to wear those in jiu-jitsu.
It was horrible.
Because they'd get on top of you, like if somebody mounted you, and they grapevined your legs and dug that fucking thing into your chest.
brendan schaub
Dude, how about fucking Usman fucking grapevining Woodley and from Mount?
joe rogan
Yep, mounted him.
Yep.
brendan schaub
And then I had my boy Todd Feldman over at my house.
He goes, could there be anything worse?
Or he goes, that looks like a bad position to be in.
And I turned around and went, excuse me, sir, the worst.
There's nothing worse in professional sports than in the UFC when you get mounted on national TV in front of millions of people.
And you just, it's the most kind of beta male move of all time.
You're on your back.
You can't get up.
This man's on top of you.
joe rogan
Dick to chest.
brendan schaub
It's so embarrassing.
joe rogan
And he held him there.
brendan schaub
There's nothing worse.
joe rogan
He held him there for a long time.
brendan schaub
All your buddies are watching going, damn, bro.
joe rogan
And, you know, the interesting, it didn't seem like Tyron had the energy to get him off.
Like, he didn't even hip escape correctly.
He knows how to hip escape.
Tyron's a black belt in jiu-jitsu.
brendan schaub
Something was up with Woodley, yeah.
joe rogan
You think so?
Yeah.
brendan schaub
He looked off.
joe rogan
Well, I don't know if that was it, or he's just wilting under the pressure that Usman was putting on him.
brendan schaub
Here's why, and I'm not taking anything away from Usman, I think he's one of the greatest title fight performances of all time.
joe rogan
Of all time.
Maybe the best.
brendan schaub
That's fine.
joe rogan
He won every minute of every round against a guy.
unidentified
He had two 10-8s.
brendan schaub
Two 10-8s.
joe rogan
And against a guy who many people thought was in the running to be thought of as the greatest welterweight of all time.
brendan schaub
Top two.
joe rogan
And if he won that fight, especially stopped him, I think you could put him in that category.
brendan schaub
Agree.
So we both agree how impressive it is.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Where I thought he might be off is right in the opening minute.
Remember Usman shoots, Woodley grabs a guillotine, and he falls on the wrong side against the cage.
I went, well, world champions don't do that.
He's not there mentally.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Also, he kept holding on to that guillotine.
unidentified
That's my point.
joe rogan
I was like, my God, he's going to get Von Flute.
And I think the only thing...
I think we're calling it the OSP now.
I heard that, yeah, OSP. It's the OSP. Sorry, Von Flute.
But OSP has more Von Flute chokes than anybody.
You kind of have to call it the OSP. Over in St. April.
But then...
But Five Flewley kind of invented it, right?
Did he invent that choke?
brendan schaub
I doubt he invented it.
joe rogan
I want to know if he invented it.
Because if he invented it, you've got to give it to him.
brendan schaub
True.
Let's call it the OSP, though.
Way cooler.
So he went for the OSP choke.
joe rogan
Yes.
So he goes for that choke.
brendan schaub
But at Woodley's level, to do that in the opening rounds, well, he's not ready yet.
He's mentally not firing right now.
Because Woodley being a black belt in jiu-jitsu, being one of the greatest fighters of all time.
Like, you ever seen George St. Pierre make a mental...
joe rogan
Not like that.
brendan schaub
Never.
joe rogan
No.
brendan schaub
Never.
joe rogan
Not in a world title fight.
brendan schaub
Never.
So when I saw that, I went, oh, Woodley's off.
joe rogan
You might be right about him having one foot out the door.
Because being...
Do we figure out if he's 36 or 37?
jamie vernon
It's 37 in a month.
joe rogan
So, basically 37. Basically 37, doing all that stuff for TMZ. I want to say he opened for Wiz Khalifa recently.
brendan schaub
They have an album together.
joe rogan
Oh, shit.
Wiz is going to come on the show.
We're working it out right now.
brendan schaub
You're going to get so high.
It's going to be awesome.
joe rogan
It'll be fun.
You want to come in?
brendan schaub
Sure.
joe rogan
Get high with us?
unidentified
Bye.
brendan schaub
Last time I was on fucking Pluto.
joe rogan
Those fight companions passed these fucking backwoods ones, man.
brendan schaub
These things are a problem.
I was so high.
joe rogan
Alex Jones had one, but it was only tobacco, folks.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but with Woodley, when we say one foot in, one foot out, it's easy to say in hindsight because eventually he was going to lose.
But before this, he was doing all that stuff.
When he beat Taylor, he was doing this stuff.
When he beat Wonderboy twice, he was doing this stuff.
So I don't know.
Or Usman's just a bad matchup.
But we're looking at these points.
He had an off night.
He does too much stuff outside the outgun.
Or Usman's just a bad motherfucker.
joe rogan
I think it's all of the above.
Usman is absolutely a bad motherfucker, and who knows?
He might have been able to do that anyway, even if Tyron was in perfect condition.
But here's the question.
Tyron, over the last few fights, over the last few years, has been able to control the pace of the fight.
100%.
He controlled the pace of the Maya fight.
He controlled the pace of...
Obviously, Darren Till fight was a good, easy victory for him, relatively.
Controlled the pace of the Wonder Boy fight, fought smart, and then hit him when he wanted to with big shots.
And he was the one who had Wonderboy hurt, right?
But Wonderboy was never pressing him, forcing his cardio.
But if you go back and watch some of the fights where he had problems earlier in his career, like Nate Marquardt, like Rory McDonald, it's someone pushing him.
Someone pushing him.
And this might...
He might have figured out a way to, look, when you're that muscular, and he's fucking ridiculously muscular, I mean, Tyron has legs the size of a running back.
He has giant ass legs.
brendan schaub
Usman's muscular as fuck too, though.
joe rogan
He is, but Usman's longer.
Longer, it's different.
Like, it's not that stacked, jacked.
Dense, almost power lifting muscle.
And that muscle is one of the reasons why Tyron is so fucking fast and powerful.
But it also, you could make the argument that that muscle just comes with an unavoidable price.
And that what he's been really able to do is, Jack is conditioning up as high as possible, and then also do a really good job of controlling the pace of fights.
He couldn't do that with Usman.
brendan schaub
Good point.
joe rogan
Could be.
We don't know.
I feel bad for the guy.
I'm a fan.
I want to see...
If he wasn't 100% focused, I want to see him one more time focused with Usman.
brendan schaub
Here's the prom.
Like with Cejudo and TJ. Mm-hmm.
Caught behind the air.
Stopped early.
Alright, rematch.
For sure rematch.
Other guys where it's quick.
Kane, Vlaska, JDS. Quick rematch.
Let's do it.
Run it back.
When you get outclassed for 25 minutes and there's two, eight, ten rounds, it's tough to get...
There's no way...
Obviously, they're not going to give you a rematch.
joe rogan
Yeah, so who told TJ you could really call for a rematch in that fight?
brendan schaub
The UFC's going to make Woodley's path to that title shot a fucking nightmare, man.
joe rogan
Who stopped that fight?
Cejudo and TJ. Who stopped that fight?
Who was the referee in that fight?
brendan schaub
I don't know.
joe rogan
Was that Herb?
brendan schaub
No.
joe rogan
No?
Who was it?
So, Leon Roberts was the one who separated Damian Maia and Usman.
brendan schaub
Was it Roberts?
I want to say it's Leon Roberts.
joe rogan
Was it Leon Roberts?
No.
brendan schaub
Oh, no.
joe rogan
Gentleman.
I forget his name.
brendan schaub
Powerful haircut, though.
So you'll run that back, though, because you stopped early.
But Uchman Woodley's a tough sell.
joe rogan
They're the biggest names in that division.
Especially if they decide to do it at flyweight, they're the only names in that division except Joseph Benavidez.
Benavidez, who also won, he beat Cejudo in a split decision.
There's a real good argument for him fighting for the title as well.
brendan schaub
For sure.
joe rogan
But that fight was so controversial and so hyped up, I would like to see that fight again.
brendan schaub
Rematches are tough.
But don't you think if anyone deserves to be Woodley, how long he was just fucking the reigning champ?
joe rogan
But I would say the same thing about Stipe Miocic.
Stipe was the motherfucker for years.
He won more title fight defenses than any heavyweight in the history of the sport.
He's number one.
Most successful heavyweight of all time.
Beat nothing but world champions.
Beat nothing but world motherfucking champions.
Alistair Overeem.
Fabricio Verdun.
Junior Dos Santos.
Orlovsky.
World motherfucking champions.
And then fights Nganou, who's fucking terrifying.
Beats Nganou.
Guy can't get a break.
brendan schaub
He can't get a fight.
joe rogan
Why can't he get a fight?
brendan schaub
Because he didn't sell pay-per-views.
joe rogan
That's crazy.
brendan schaub
It's the only reason he's done that fight.
joe rogan
The world is a terrible place.
brendan schaub
You could do Steve Bain Kane.
joe rogan
Well, Kane's going to have to get another knee surgery now.
unidentified
Is he?
brendan schaub
For sure.
joe rogan
The way his knee went out?
How is it possible?
brendan schaub
Have you heard anything about his knee?
joe rogan
I have not.
You don't think it was a knee problem?
You think it was an uppercut?
brendan schaub
Have you heard any update on his knee?
joe rogan
I haven't, but I haven't asked.
brendan schaub
Trust me, his team would have released something.
joe rogan
His team said something really ridiculous.
brendan schaub
That he didn't get knocked out?
joe rogan
That he got hit behind the head with an illegal shot first.
brendan schaub
How dare you, AK? How dare you?
And I love Crazy Bobcock.
joe rogan
It was Javier.
Javier must have been, maybe had a few bomb readers in him.
unidentified
You know what?
brendan schaub
He's a down-ass dude, and I like that.
joe rogan
But you're full of shit.
brendan schaub
You're full of shit.
joe rogan
He's down for his friend.
brendan schaub
You're full of shit.
joe rogan
Well, we were saying we watched that punch, and it didn't even land.
It landed on, like, the shoulder.
brendan schaub
Yeah, it was the shoulder.
joe rogan
So, like, cuffed the shoulder.
brendan schaub
But that short show, I just did Food Truck Diaries on Below the Belt with Francis, and he showed me the exact punch.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Because I was like, people are saying, he was not happy.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Here it is.
Kane Velasquez lost a freak.
My knee gave out on me.
But no, it wasn't him.
It was Javier Vasquez said it was an illegal punch.
Come on, bro.
brendan schaub
You just got to take the loss and back.
You know what?
Back to the draw board.
joe rogan
First of all, it's not an illegal punch when you're swinging on the feet.
It's illegal on the ground.
If a guy is swinging and a guy ducks and you hit him in the back of the head, there's not a single referee on the planet Earth has ever...
Right.
There's not a single referee in the planet Earth that has ever said that's bad.
Not only that, a good percentage of head kicks are illegal shots.
brendan schaub
Behind the ear.
joe rogan
Behind the ear.
A lot of Wonderboy shots.
Wonderboy likes that sneaky question mark kick.
He throws that shit behind the ear.
brendan schaub
So does Barboza, so does Cowboy.
joe rogan
Comes right over the shoulder.
Whack!
brendan schaub
But with Kane, that's not even an issue because that punch didn't land there.
The issue is the uppercut, which turned the lights off, which caused his knee to buckle.
But here's where you know he was punched.
If there was a knee problem with this kind of dilemma about his knee, his team would have reported he's going for knee surgery.
There's an MCL. There's nothing.
They're just like, uh, all right, let's just move on.
So you do Stipe King.
Holler at your boy.
joe rogan
King might be in a position where he doesn't want to have any more knee surgeries, but his knees are weak.
brendan schaub
Come on, bro.
joe rogan
No, but I'm saying if he got hit with that punch, maybe in another world, his knee wouldn't have given out like that.
He would have just got rocked.
He would have just got rocked.
brendan schaub
Maybe.
joe rogan
Maybe.
brendan schaub
But him versus Stipe is the fight.
joe rogan
It's a good fight.
It's a good fight.
I'm sure Stipe would like it, but what Stipe really wants is another shot at DC. Not happening, bro.
Maybe thinks that that's the way to get to DC. The UFC would have done it by now.
brendan schaub
There's a million reasons to do it.
Also for DC, it makes no sense.
He knocked him out so fast.
You can't get any more impressive than that.
It's kind of like Jose Aldo Conner.
joe rogan
Yeah, right, right, right.
brendan schaub
I fucking starched him.
I have everything to lose now.
What do you want me to do?
So DC's going to get Brock and probably ride off to sunset.
Although I was trying to tell Francis, he needs to let DC just do his thing, dip out, and then he can become the heavyweight champion.
joe rogan
Yeah.
DC's looking for a big fight and that's it.
I mean, apparently his coaches have already said, look, you've got a real legitimate career as a broadcaster, and he does.
He's excellent as an analyst.
brendan schaub
You, him, and Anik are the best.
joe rogan
I love it.
brendan schaub
That's the best relationship.
And I'm not throwing shade at Dom.
joe rogan
I love doing it with Dom, too.
I love doing it with Dom.
brendan schaub
I bet.
Not as good chemistry.
joe rogan
Well, you know what it is?
brendan schaub
It's a weird dynamic.
joe rogan
DC and I are silly.
We're silly.
brendan schaub
Dom's not silly.
joe rogan
No, I mean, Dom and I laugh a little bit, but he's like uber serious.
brendan schaub
He's an expert.
joe rogan
Like when Rose Namajuna's won, and he's yelling out, THUG ROSE! DC? DC's, he's fun, man.
brendan schaub
You, DC, and Annex, the best commentating team on the planet.
When it's you and Dom, there seems to be this weird dynamic where I don't vibe with it.
Really?
I think a lot of people are on board with that.
joe rogan
That's interesting, because I like it a lot.
brendan schaub
Again, it's not bad, but it's not you, DC and Anakin.
But Dom, without you, even with you, he's amazing.
He's one of the best.
But for real, it's just not as good.
joe rogan
Okay, I get it.
I agree with his corner, though.
I would like to see maybe one more fight out of DC. And then, look, he's got his wits about him.
He's got his brains.
brendan schaub
He's fine.
joe rogan
He's an amazing person.
Like, when you hang out with him and talk to him, he's a sweetheart of a guy.
brendan schaub
He's the best.
joe rogan
And he can talk great.
brendan schaub
He's funny.
joe rogan
He's very articulate.
And as a wrestler, unparalleled.
I mean, his skill, his understanding of the game.
brendan schaub
As a heavyweight, you could argue he's the greatest of all time.
joe rogan
Dana just did.
brendan schaub
Did he?
joe rogan
Dana just made that argument.
He said, I think that DC's the best of all time.
brendan schaub
That's fair.
You can totally make that argument.
He's never lost.
Starch Stipe was the best of all time.
joe rogan
Yeah, but he's only fought once in the UFC at heavyweight other than this with Frank Mir.
brendan schaub
But dude, what he did in the Strikeforce Grand Prix is insane.
joe rogan
Insane.
Who else did he fight at heavyweight in the UFC? Did he fight Roy?
brendan schaub
He fought Roy, right?
joe rogan
Roy was in the UFC. Roy and Frank Mir.
Roy and Frank Mir, yeah.
He beat both those guys.
brendan schaub
Beat the brakes off both of them.
joe rogan
Yep.
And then start steep A. But I think without cutting weight, he just feels so much better.
brendan schaub
That's why if he's going to fight John, we've got to do it at heavyweight.
I know how light heavyweight goes.
Get out of here.
joe rogan
You think so still?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
100%.
You do it at heavyweight.
joe rogan
What do you think happens at heavyweight?
brendan schaub
I think DC has a chance, baby.
I'll put my money on him.
unidentified
Oh.
brendan schaub
Because DC can knock bitches out at heavyweight.
He's the one who can land on John.
He gets dirty.
joe rogan
Do you think that John would want that fight?
That could be like a giant 4th of July fight.
Why don't you and I call Dana White and say, we would like to take over the matchmaker occasionally.
We would like a celebrity matchup sort of deal.
Just let me get my beak I don't want to take anything away from Mick Maynard and Sean Shelby.
Those guys are great.
But just let us make five fights a year.
brendan schaub
Do you hate ratings?
joe rogan
We'll help you.
brendan schaub
Do you hate money?
joe rogan
We'll promote the shit out of it.
brendan schaub
I'll make your posters.
joe rogan
We'll do what we can.
brendan schaub
Here's what you do, Uncle D. What do we do?
You do DC John Heavyweight for the world title.
joe rogan
What's the undercard?
brendan schaub
Francis Brock.
unidentified
Oh!
joe rogan
Do you really think Brock's going to take that fight?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Brock wants the title and that's a wrap.
He wants DC. DC's almost...
brendan schaub
That's a terrible fight.
joe rogan
DC's only a little taller than me.
brendan schaub
I know.
joe rogan
You know?
He's for real.
brendan schaub
Don't let him fool you.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
He looks small and like your dad, you know, but he'll beat the shit out of you.
joe rogan
He'll beat the shit out of you.
He's a tank.
He's as wide as a house.
And, you know...
brendan schaub
Dude, Brock...
joe rogan
That's what Brock wants.
brendan schaub
Dude, Brock Francis.
Picture the poster.
Just take that in for a second.
joe rogan
Picture the hospital bill.
brendan schaub
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Picture the remaining years of Brock's life.
brendan schaub
I asked Francis about that, and he goes, I don't chase.
I chase nobody.
He's not serious.
I went, oh.
joe rogan
The funny thing is, you standing next to Francis is almost like me standing next to you.
brendan schaub
I did it on purpose.
joe rogan
He's so goddamn big.
Oh, did you?
brendan schaub
So, we're on a curb.
We're on a curb, and I go, stand here, dude.
You're like, huge.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
And everyone's going to freak out on the internet.
joe rogan
He's so big!
brendan schaub
He looks huge.
joe rogan
265 natural.
brendan schaub
I asked him, what do you walk around?
That's what he said.
unidentified
65, 63. Did you ask him about wrestling?
brendan schaub
A little bit.
You know, with those food drug diaries, I try to get a little silly and get those guys to have fun.
joe rogan
Look at that.
brendan schaub
With Francis, he talked about how he kind of felt like a loser after the Stipe fight.
joe rogan
Well, there's no way around that.
brendan schaub
It was a fascinating conversation.
He's saying how he kind of felt like a loser and how he didn't feel like himself and how he felt pressured to take the fight.
He was not ready.
joe rogan
How well is he talking?
Do you think I could get him on?
Do you think it would work?
brendan schaub
Be tough.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Be tough.
joe rogan
He's getting better at English, though.
Because when I first interviewed him, I remember way back in the day when he had the dreads, I first interviewed him, he was having a real hard time understanding me.
But he's definitely better at it now.
brendan schaub
He's getting better.
And, you know, when he loosens up, it'd be tough to do two hours with you.
joe rogan
Dana White says Damien Cormier is getting the Brock Lesnar fight.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but we don't know what Brock's doing.
joe rogan
Is that today?
jamie vernon
This post is from an hour ago.
But this has more to do with, I guess, the Brock Lesnar fight.
He said that at the post-fight press conference.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I saw that.
But there's no announcements when DC's going to come.
joe rogan
Cormier is fully healed from his injuries.
Oh, he's got an injury?
brendan schaub
Yeah, he's been injured.
joe rogan
What's going on?
brendan schaub
I forget.
joe rogan
He had a problem with his hand before the Derek Lewis fight, decided to take the fight anyway.
brendan schaub
Because Stipe offered the fight, and that's why he's like, dude, I'm injured.
I'm not going to fight you when I'm injured.
He goes, I'll fight Derek Lewis.
joe rogan
That must feel like shit for Stipe.
He must be like, God damn it.
brendan schaub
Don't you feel bad for Stipe?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Because if Daniel Cormier wasn't injured, he would have got that shot.
If his hand was okay, he would have got that shot in New York.
brendan schaub
But now Stipe's never going to get that shot.
Dude, how about John Stipe?
joe rogan
I feel terrible.
brendan schaub
I'm just spitballing fucking gems here.
joe rogan
But I feel terrible for Stipe.
I really do.
brendan schaub
Me too.
joe rogan
Because, I mean, how long has it been since he lost the title?
A year?
brendan schaub
It's been a hot year.
joe rogan
A year?
How long has it been?
brendan schaub
And he's tried to fight.
unidentified
June?
joe rogan
226. Oh my god.
226. So a fucking year.
More than a year.
brendan schaub
DC's fought twice.
joe rogan
Dude, more than a year.
February.
February.
Fuck.
jamie vernon
It was July.
joe rogan
Oh, what are you talking about?
Do you not know how to count?
jamie vernon
No, that's what it was.
How dare you?
joe rogan
Why'd you say 226?
Oh, oh, oh.
I thought you were saying 226. No, not today.
jamie vernon
UFC 226. Okay.
joe rogan
I was like, how dare you?
brendan schaub
But still.
joe rogan
How dare you make that mistake?
UFC 226. Okay.
Well, that's July.
So that's not quite a year.
brendan schaub
DC's been relevant.
He's fought twice since that last loss.
Stipe hasn't fought.
unidentified
Damn.
brendan schaub
It's heartbreaking.
joe rogan
Damn.
brendan schaub
John Jones Stipe.
joe rogan
Coach Javier Mendes can't understand why Stipe Miocic is waiting for the Daniel Kamiami rematch.
brendan schaub
Yeah, he needs to move on.
It's not happening.
joe rogan
I don't think he necessarily is waiting for it.
brendan schaub
No, he is.
joe rogan
He even taunted DC. He wants it, but I don't think they're offering him a valid fight in the meantime.
I haven't heard any big fights that are being mentioned.
I mean, obviously I could be wrong.
You know.
brendan schaub
Well, the only thing they could really offer him is what?
joe rogan
It's funny, I have all these questions and I don't ever call Dana.
brendan schaub
And he, dude...
joe rogan
I don't call Sean Shelby.
I don't call Mick Maynard.
I just sit here with you and we talk shit.
brendan schaub
We just speculate.
joe rogan
Total speculation.
brendan schaub
Start rumors.
joe rogan
Total speculation.
It was interesting being on ESPN for the first time.
That was interesting.
brendan schaub
How so?
joe rogan
It was interesting.
Yeah, I'm holding an ESPN handle on the microphone.
It was interesting.
And knowing that it's on ESPN. It's very exciting.
It's very exciting to know that it's on ESPN now.
Because I think that's going to make a big deal with casual fans.
I think it's going to allow the sport to grow.
brendan schaub
I agree 100%.
joe rogan
And the ESPN fights were spectacular.
brendan schaub
They put on a good product.
joe rogan
They did a great job.
brendan schaub
You know what's cool is when I turned on ESPN, I do every morning until I start my morning, is they had a picture of Bryce Harper, who just signed like a $3 billion deal with the Philadelphia Phillies, and John Jones.
That was the flyer.
Wow.
It's mainstream.
joe rogan
That's giant.
brendan schaub
Like Fox could never do that.
joe rogan
No, Fox was great.
And Fox put the UFC on the map.
And I think Fox really did a fantastic job over those seven years.
But it's a big difference.
Going to ESPN is like, holy shit, we're on ESPN. It's a big deal.
For sports, you go to any fucking sports bar, ESPN's always on.
So every fight is on.
And they're going to have a shit ton of fights.
And if you have ESPN +, you can watch all the old fights.
brendan schaub
Plus at the bottom, just the scroller, say John Jones like breaking news.
joe rogan
ESPN Inc's exclusive rights deal with PFL Mixed Martial Arts League.
Oh, interesting.
What is PFL? Oh, that's the National Fighters League.
brendan schaub
That's my boy Seth's league.
That's interesting.
jamie vernon
Thursdays, I believe.
I think they have something like 10 events for the year right now.
joe rogan
Okay, that is excellent.
brendan schaub
And they have a playoff.
joe rogan
That is excellent.
That is so good for MMA. It's so good.
10 PFL events in 2019. Wow.
Outstanding.
brendan schaub
They do the playoffs.
joe rogan
Live across ESPN2, ESPN Deportes, and ESPN Plus.
Fantastic.
So good.
So good for everybody.
I can't believe Vinny Magalese lost.
I was so sure he was going to win the whole thing.
I mean, he's so fucking good, man.
When it comes to the ground game, he's a freak.
He's not a light heavyweight on the playoffs.
brendan schaub
Dude, ESPN also just signed Tyson Fury.
joe rogan
Really?
Interesting.
brendan schaub
So now you're not getting Tyson Deontay Wong.
joe rogan
I heard about that.
What the fuck is that about?
What did Tyson say?
Something crazy like, why would he fight him again when he got robbed of a decision in the last fight?
I heard that.
I was like, is he drinking again?
brendan schaub
Dude, how about this?
How about this?
How about Showtime, my boys?
They had the trailer.
They had the hype video ready to launch on Monday.
Tyson signed with ESPN Monday morning.
No one knew.
Nobody fucking knew.
joe rogan
I feel bad for Deontay.
brendan schaub
It's heartbreaking.
joe rogan
I feel bad for Deontay because Deontay almost put him out in that final round.
I think you can make a real argument that Tyson won the decision.
brendan schaub
For sure.
joe rogan
But when you get dropped twice and get dropped one time in the most horrific fashion, I mean...
brendan schaub
And now they say the fight's not happening.
joe rogan
That's crazy!
brendan schaub
It's the biggest problem in boxing.
joe rogan
I don't like it!
brendan schaub
I'm angry!
joe rogan
That makes me angry.
brendan schaub
It's because there's different promoters.
That's why the UFC jump-frogged the boxing a long time.
joe rogan
Sort of, but I mean, look, that fight could have been made.
Do you think that maybe Tyson didn't want to fight him again?
brendan schaub
Nope.
I think it's his handlers, his representation go, dude, let's sign with ESPN, get a seven-figure deal.
You can fight two bums, and then we'll circle back to Wilder.
joe rogan
Well, maybe.
brendan schaub
That's boxing.
joe rogan
Maybe.
I mean, there's an argument that that's a good move financially, I guess.
brendan schaub
It's heartbreaking.
joe rogan
Heartbreaking.
Right here.
brendan schaub
Oh, dude.
joe rogan
Here it is.
brendan schaub
I wanted to cry.
I wanted to cry.
joe rogan
That's sad.
brendan schaub
It's so fresh.
joe rogan
But it does open up Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, which is very exciting.
brendan schaub
A little bit, but yeah, no time soon, because Deontay's still going to fight in May.
Maybe Dillian White, maybe Luis Ortiz.
joe rogan
Yeah, Luis Ortiz is still fucking dangerous.
brendan schaub
Dillian White's a motherfucker.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
So then, you know, Anthony Joshua would be great, but he's fighting Big Baby Miller.
joe rogan
Yeah, and that's a tough fight for him.
Big Baby Miller's got some fucking power.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
joe rogan
You don't think so?
brendan schaub
No.
joe rogan
That's in Madison Square Garden too, right?
First time Anthony Joshua is fighting in the United States though.
brendan schaub
Yep.
joe rogan
When you fight in the United States.
Deontay, fuck Tyson Fury.
Wow.
jamie vernon
That's his next fight.
joe rogan
Brazil?
That seems like a fake name.
brendan schaub
He's a former football player.
joe rogan
If a dude's name is Breeze, you'd call him Brazil.
Dominic Brazile.
brendan schaub
Boxing?
joe rogan
In May, my mandatory.
brendan schaub
So frustrating.
However, you got Mikey Garcia, Earl Spence coming up.
joe rogan
That's amazing.
brendan schaub
We should do a fight companion for that.
joe rogan
When is that?
brendan schaub
March something.
joe rogan
When is that?
brendan schaub
Am I in town?
I don't know.
joe rogan
We should do a fight companion for boxing.
We don't have any fight companions for boxing.
Right?
brendan schaub
Yeah, give me an excuse to do one.
joe rogan
Hold on a second.
brendan schaub
That's a good one to do it on.
joe rogan
What does it say, Jamie?
What do we got?
Oh, daddy's home.
brendan schaub
Daddy's in Miami.
unidentified
What?
You son of a bitch.
brendan schaub
Daddy's at the Miami Improv.
joe rogan
That's next week, bro.
unidentified
That's next week.
joe rogan
Yeah.
jamie vernon
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Next Saturday.
Next Saturday.
Yeah.
brendan schaub
I'm at the Miami Improv.
joe rogan
How the fuck is it already March?
jamie vernon
March 4th.
brendan schaub
Crazy, dude.
joe rogan
This year is flying by.
brendan schaub
January was the longest month.
joe rogan
We're going to be 85 years old before you know it.
We're going to be like Larry Merchant over here talking shit.
unidentified
Remember when Larry Merchant said to Floyd Mayweather, I was your age, I'd kick your ass.
brendan schaub
Classic.
Fucking classic.
joe rogan
It's a ridiculous thing to say.
brendan schaub
What a great thing to say.
joe rogan
One of the greatest boxers of all time.
unidentified
God.
Ugh.
joe rogan
He's fucking such a crotchety old dude, though.
It's gonna be us one day.
85 years old, calling fights.
unidentified
These kids today!
brendan schaub
You think we'll still be doing companions?
Old as fuck?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah.
Well, someone's gonna drink themselves to death on a live show.
It's probably gonna be Eddie.
brendan schaub
I'll have a heart attack.
joe rogan
We should start bringing it to other people, too, occasionally, especially when Callan's out of town, because Callan's always busy these days.
Yeah.
But he brings the cheese.
brendan schaub
Nothing's like the four of us, though.
The chemistry with the four of us.
You can't fuck with it.
joe rogan
No, it is the best.
And it's the most fun.
brendan schaub
By far.
joe rogan
It's the most fun to watch fights.
brendan schaub
Everyone brings a different dynamic.
joe rogan
Yeah.
But the talking over, oh my god, I tried to listen to it.
brendan schaub
You did?
joe rogan
I tried to listen to some of it.
brendan schaub
Why would you do that?
joe rogan
Because I wanted to know what it sounded like when everybody was talking over everybody.
It's terrible.
brendan schaub
I haven't been that drunk and high in a long time.
And it was awesome.
joe rogan
People, for whatever reason, love those kind of chaos shows.
Like that Alex Jones show.
They love chaos.
They love drunk and stoned and interdimensional child molesters.
They love all that shit.
They love it off the charts nuts.
brendan schaub
That Alex Jones one, though, I told you I've never been a fan of his.
Then I watch it and I'm like...
Gotta like him now.
joe rogan
People are mad at me.
Some people are mad at me, but you know what?
There's nothing I can do about that.
They were gonna be mad at me anyway, but one of the things that they were saying was, you know, fuck you for, they were saying, fuck you for normalizing him.
I'm like, you gotta understand, that's how I know him.
I know him like that.
That's how I know him.
I know that guy.
brendan schaub
That's why you're friends.
joe rogan
Yes.
That guy that came on here.
And this is a guy that, by the way, on his show, said he was going to kick my ass and break my legs and fucking all kinds of crazy shit.
And I want to fight him in the UFC fight.
I'm going to offer him a million dollars.
I knew him.
I know the real him.
I'm like, when we're not in front of each other, you can say crazy shit.
I'm immune, man.
I don't care.
It doesn't bother me.
I don't care anymore.
brendan schaub
Plus, he's doing an entertainment show.
joe rogan
He is doing entertainment.
But what I know is the Alex Jones that was here.
By the way, he was right about a lot of shit.
A lot of the crazy shit that he was saying about fucking human-pig hybrids that they're working on those and actually making human-pig hybrid fetuses.
That's real.
They really are.
brendan schaub
The problem is he throws so much shit out there at one time, I don't know what to believe and what not to believe.
And I don't have time to look into all of it.
joe rogan
And you gotta go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Start over again.
What?
What's happening on the moon?
unidentified
What?
brendan schaub
He's for sure a little crazy.
I like crazy.
But he's crazy.
joe rogan
But I think that crazy is okay.
And it's entertaining.
And I'm not a fucking child.
So if you want to nerf the world and make the world so that only children can watch everybody.
Because make things that are safe for everyone, including children.
Well, I don't want that.
I'm a discerning adult.
I'm pretty rational.
And I can figure out what's real and what's nonsense.
brendan schaub
Dude, speaking of children, did you see the Michael Jackson?
joe rogan
I did not, but I heard it was horrific.
brendan schaub
It's crazy.
joe rogan
You know, Tim Dillon is so fucking funny.
You see Tim Dillon's thing?
Tim Dillon is pretending that Michael Jackson was a pimp and he was banging bitches.
Go to his Instagram.
Have you had Tim on your show?
brendan schaub
Is that the big guy?
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
The comic?
joe rogan
Yes.
brendan schaub
No.
joe rogan
Dude, you gotta get him on.
brendan schaub
Really?
joe rogan
I'll have him on anytime he's in town.
He's fucking hilarious.
brendan schaub
He's a New York guy too, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, he's a funny dude.
Hey, listen to this.
unidentified
Listen to this.
tim dillon
The problem with this Michael Jackson documentary is there's no fucking music in it.
joe rogan
The whole thing is fucking boring.
tim dillon
It's all fucking interviews.
joe rogan
I fast forwarded through all that shit.
tim dillon
I want to see the bitches.
joe rogan
The guy's the king of fucking pop.
You know he's fucking all the time.
tim dillon
He was fucking Elvis' daughter, Lisa Marie Presley.
joe rogan
You know Neverland Ranch was just fucking pussy?
Because they're trying to make him look like, oh, some humanitarian.
Oh, he helped sick kids.
He lets them sleep with them.
We get it.
He was a good guy.
And another thing, so there's this scene.
brendan schaub
I was kind of half listening.
unidentified
Apparently some kid walked in on him fucking some bitch.
tim dillon
And the kid knows, like, every one of his moves, everything he was fucking doing.
unidentified
It's like, what kind of sick kid sneaks into Michael's room while he's fucking a chick?
joe rogan
It's kind of crazy.
That's the problem with kids.
That's why you can't help kids.
Word to the wise.
Help adults.
brendan schaub
Jesus Christ.
joe rogan
He's a ridiculous guy, man.
You have him on.
He's very funny.
He's super into conspiracy theories.
brendan schaub
Oh, is he?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Deep in.
He brought me a book.
He's like, I want to bring you back.
Bring you back to the fold.
But he's a smart guy.
Real smart guy.
brendan schaub
Dude, when he said, when you had him on, he said, the comments are brutal, Shob.
Someone said, oh, why is Rogan having Roseanne on again?
joe rogan
Did you see Roseanne?
She went on Candace Owens and called all of the Me Too girls a bunch of hoes and they were all just selling sex to try to get successful.
brendan schaub
It's hilarious.
joe rogan
Roseanne doesn't give a fuck.
Especially now, they forced her out.
She's like, good, good.
But they fucked up so hard kicking her out.
That show was number one, and now no one even cares about it.
brendan schaub
Is it still on air?
I don't see a market anymore.
joe rogan
They might keep it on just for spite.
Just so she couldn't say, I told you so.
brendan schaub
But we know no one's watching it.
joe rogan
Yeah, no one's watching it.
I don't want to watch that Michael Jackson thing.
First of all, it's weird.
I'm on the fence.
He's not alive to defend himself, so it's weird.
It's also stories and, you know...
People tell the truth in stories sometimes, and sometimes they don't.
And you don't know.
You don't know.
And also, it was always weird.
No one knew why, with all the rumors that everybody had ever heard about Michael Jackson, that anybody would let their kids go and hang out with him.
brendan schaub
When you watch the documentary, you're like, these parents are fucking morons.
joe rogan
I don't get it, man.
jamie vernon
Two of the fathers have committed suicide since this happened.
unidentified
Oh, Jesus Christ.
brendan schaub
Wait, but we don't have any hard evidence that he was molesting kids, right?
All we have is rumors.
joe rogan
Well, here's the thing.
brendan schaub
In court, he was acquitted.
joe rogan
Here's the problem.
The doctor, his very doctor, said that he was chemically castrated.
brendan schaub
Talking about the guy who killed him?
joe rogan
Yes.
That guy said he was chemically castrated by his parents to protect his voice.
brendan schaub
So you'd have no testosterone, right?
joe rogan
Exactly.
Not just no testosterone, he's a eunuch.
brendan schaub
So do you still bust nuts?
joe rogan
I mean, me?
I don't think so.
jamie vernon
One of the other weird things I saw that was like facts you should know from the documentary was that he had something to do with the sound in the room.
The hallway leading up to his bedroom was wired so that footprints would make a ding-dong sound in the room.
It's just a very strange thing to just have in general for any purpose.
brendan schaub
But if you grow up in the spotlight, because remember, he was such a big star, you might have some anxiety.
joe rogan
Right, maybe you didn't want anybody walking in on them naked or something.
brendan schaub
Or you don't want anyone walking in while you're touching boys.
joe rogan
It could be that.
Look, who the fuck knows?
brendan schaub
We don't know.
joe rogan
We don't know.
brendan schaub
However...
What do you think, Jamie?
jamie vernon
Am I off?
No, I'm just saying some of the facts.
I remember he spent like 30 straight nights with like a 12-year-old at his house, in between that kid's mom's house and his dad's house, because they were divorced.
brendan schaub
And there's so much video of him and this little boy holding hands, and the boy in the video goes, yeah, we would hold hands, and we had a signal.
We'd rub each other's palms when we were thinking sexually about each other.
However, you gotta chalk it up to the shitty parents.
Because if John Legend came to my house and was like, dude, I love Tiger, you mind if I take him out for a little while?
But get your goddamn mind.
You're not going anywhere.
joe rogan
Well, not only that, and John Legend's not a pedophile.
brendan schaub
No, I'm just...
joe rogan
Or not known.
brendan schaub
But they didn't know Michael Jackson was that.
joe rogan
But everybody knew there was something up.
brendan schaub
Not at the time.
He was the biggest star in the world back then in the 90s.
jamie vernon
People knew some shit was up.
brendan schaub
In the 90s?
joe rogan
No.
brendan schaub
He made good music, you fucks.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
jamie vernon
I know he did.
joe rogan
Everybody knew something was weird.
unidentified
Really?
brendan schaub
I did.
joe rogan
He was always hanging around with kids.
brendan schaub
Yeah, because he loved to have kids.
joe rogan
You're younger than us.
brendan schaub
Way younger.
joe rogan
You gotta trust me.
jamie vernon
We're the same age.
brendan schaub
True.
jamie vernon
Like, same month almost.
brendan schaub
And you knew something was up?
jamie vernon
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Jamie's more on the ball than you.
He's always online.
You're out getting pussy.
Jamie's online.
brendan schaub
Legit point.
Legit point.
Well played, sir.
Well played.
unidentified
I just feel like it's too weird.
joe rogan
It's too weird to let your kids hang out with this grown man all those times.
brendan schaub
I think he was mentally ill.
And what his family says, they go, no, no.
A lot of you are confusing him for being...
He didn't have a childhood.
His dad robbed him of his childhood.
So inside, he felt like he was nine years old.
So he missed out on the sleepovers and video games.
So he would get friends with kids and As I'm saying out loud, it's batshit crazy.
joe rogan
I think all those things that you're saying are true.
But I also think it's true that he was probably chemically castrated.
I really think that's true.
Because I've said that a long time ago.
I said, I think he's a castrato.
The way his voice is...
Why?
Why?
brendan schaub
Tell him that it's human nature.
joe rogan
It's just that voice is just not a man's voice.
It's not even a falsetto voice.
It's a woman's voice.
brendan schaub
If he's castrated, then he would have zero testosterone to molest kids.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, he might not have been doing it because he was horny.
He might have been doing it because he was just weird.
brendan schaub
Well, these kids said he was busted nuts.
The kids in the video said, like, he would jack himself off in front of them.
joe rogan
Boy.
brendan schaub
It'll make you sick to your stomach.
jamie vernon
Not his wife, but the woman that gave birth to his two kids said she never had sex with him.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's more likely.
If you're chemically castrated, that means your body doesn't produce any testosterone anymore, but it doesn't mean you can't shoot it into your body.
And, you know, you could shoot test into your body.
brendan schaub
But if you have no nuts, you're not making semen.
joe rogan
Yeah, if your balls are dead.
But you...
Is it semen or sperm?
jamie vernon
I think sperm's from the nuts, and then, like, your prostate, and there's some other things that get the juice together.
brendan schaub
I don't know.
jamie vernon
I'm not a doctor, obviously, either.
joe rogan
Clearly.
brendan schaub
Is that a technical thing?
joe rogan
The whole thing is fucking super weird.
It's super weird.
It just makes me sad.
brendan schaub
It makes me so sad.
joe rogan
There's a lesson to be learned there in so many different ways, but one of the big lessons to be learned is that you never want to be that famous.
brendan schaub
That was my takeaway.
I was watching my girl, I go, can you imagine being that famous?
And she goes, yeah, it's probably awesome.
I'm like, no, hold on.
You know how we like to go to the mall, we like to go out to eat?
That's gone.
You can't do that anymore.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's all gone.
brendan schaub
That's all gone.
joe rogan
People would start a riot.
brendan schaub
They'll take that away from you.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Your normal life is not over.
You just stay in your house.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's why he developed an amusement park.
He made his house a fucking amusement park.
jamie vernon
They set this up for him to go grocery shopping.
They emptied a grocery store and paid people to be shoppers so he could have the experience of what it's like to be normal going through a Ralph's or whatever.
And have interactions with people like, hey, how's it going?
joe rogan
Oh, Jesus, look how weird this is.
brendan schaub
Well, they should make it realistic like LA. So he hired people so he could do that?
joe rogan
And he wore a hat and he's dancing around.
Everything was weird, man.
Everything was weird.
brendan schaub
Don't you feel bad for him, though?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, so weird.
brendan schaub
You know how much he was worth?
joe rogan
I don't know.
brendan schaub
$1.7 billion, they say.
joe rogan
But that's after he died.
See, the thing is, when he died, he got super rich.
He was actually in the hole before he died.
brendan schaub
No, because there's like MC Hammer broke, where when he talked to MC Hammer, he's like, what are you talking about?
He's like, there's like, you know, Publicist broke where they released that.
You go bankrupt.
I was fine.
I was bawling.
I think it was Michael Jackson.
jamie vernon
Yeah, he owned the Beatles catalog.
joe rogan
Oh, so that's where he had all his money?
brendan schaub
He bought all the originals, the masters of his and the Beatles.
joe rogan
That's right.
Yeah, Paul McCartney was mad about that, apparently.
jamie vernon
He gave him the idea.
joe rogan
Paul gave him the idea?
jamie vernon
And he's like, oh, good idea.
I'll be right back.
joe rogan
So why didn't Paul buy it?
He's got money.
brendan schaub
Couldn't afford it.
jamie vernon
He has one-fourth of the Beatles' money.
Not all of it combined, you know.
joe rogan
Right.
brendan schaub
There's no stars like Michael Jackson.
You can't.
You can't do it in current society.
There's pockets now.
jamie vernon
He also won Happy Birthday.
joe rogan
He owned Happy Birthday?
jamie vernon
He bought the rights to it.
unidentified
Wow!
jamie vernon
So that's why you're not allowed to sing it in a restaurant.
joe rogan
I feel like that's over.
I think you can say it now.
jamie vernon
You can now because it's back into the public domain.
unidentified
Because he died?
jamie vernon
Or maybe after he died it became a thing.
brendan schaub
Dude, that's why everyone sings the bullshit Happy Birthday?
joe rogan
Happy Birthday!
Happy Happy Happy!
jamie vernon
I think ASCAP or BMI could literally come in and just find the restaurant if you were singing that.
brendan schaub
Holy shit!
And that's because of Michael?
joe rogan
That's so stupid.
brendan schaub
Dude, what a baller move.
jamie vernon
It's copyrighted.
joe rogan
Owning Happy Birthday.
brendan schaub
I want all the money.
unidentified
Give it to me.
brendan schaub
Too bad he doesn't like bitches because that'd be the biggest move ever.
joe rogan
Maybe he did like bitches.
Who knows?
Who knows?
The guy's dead.
brendan schaub
He can't defend himself.
joe rogan
Have some respect, Shob.
brendan schaub
Here's the thing.
Those two dudes who were doing it, one was the key witness when he got away in court.
joe rogan
What dudes?
brendan schaub
The dudes in the documentary.
The two are like, oh, we got molested.
The one was the number one key witness who's saying he didn't get molested.
joe rogan
Okay, well then he shouldn't be able to say anything.
brendan schaub
Both of them were witnesses.
joe rogan
Because that means they should go to jail.
brendan schaub
And now they're like, well, no, that's not true.
We were young, bitch.
You were 20-something.
joe rogan
How old was he?
He was in his 20s?
brendan schaub
20-something, yeah.
joe rogan
Well, also, isn't that perjury?
It means he lied in court?
brendan schaub
Be fucked.
joe rogan
You can't lie in court either way, one way or the other.
You can't lie to protect somebody, and you can't lie to accuse someone either.
You can't lie.
brendan schaub
I don't know what the deal is with that.
joe rogan
I mean, that seems like that's something they could drag him to court for.
brendan schaub
And then Jackson came out and went, well, isn't it convenient?
You guys are coming out now when you're in financial trouble?
joe rogan
Oh, of course.
Yeah, of course.
It just seems like a strange thing to do a documentary on.
brendan schaub
Documentaries are killing it lately.
joe rogan
That's probably a problem.
brendan schaub
Like, look at R. Kelly.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
He thought he was flying free and pissing on bitches.
joe rogan
Isn't that...
brendan schaub
Then that documentary came out.
He's fucked.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's fucked.
brendan schaub
He's arrested.
joe rogan
Yeah, they just released him.
Did you see when they released him?
Like, he leaves jail and he has to walk through a throng of people.
And they were screaming.
Some woman was yelling at him, calling him.
brendan schaub
They took his music off iTunes.
unidentified
Really?
brendan schaub
They took down all the shit, and all the artists who worked with him took their music down.
Like, let's say Michael Jackson did get convicted of molesting kids.
Could you still listen to his music?
joe rogan
Could you imagine?
brendan schaub
Could you separate it, right?
joe rogan
You know, Tony Hinchcliffe, I don't want to give away the bit, he has a fucking hilarious bit about that.
He has a hilarious bit about that.
I bet he's redoing it now.
Because I don't think it's on the special.
On his last special?
I don't think it's on.
brendan schaub
No, I haven't heard it.
joe rogan
Tony Hinchcliffe.
He's got this new bit about transgender athletes.
What does it say there?
Daycare affiliated woman who bailed R. Kelly out of jail receives bomb threat.
jamie vernon
Some mystery woman bailed him out.
brendan schaub
Damn, he's looking like shit right there.
joe rogan
It's been a stressful time.
Fuck yeah.
What are you going to do?
brendan schaub
I don't know.
joe rogan
So, upcoming fights.
Let's get back to MMA for a few minutes before we get the fuck out of here.
brendan schaub
Yeah, JBS, Derek Lewis.
joe rogan
Oh, Kelvin.
Kelvin and Israel Adesanya.
That's what I want to see.
That's next month, son.
That's next month, and that is in motherfucking Atlanta, Georgia.
brendan schaub
Is that a pay-per-view?
joe rogan
Yes, it is, sir.
brendan schaub
Oh, fuck, you're gone, dude.
joe rogan
Holloway Poirier 2. I'll be there for that one.
brendan schaub
Holloway Poirier is a great fight.
joe rogan
It is a very good fight.
Who won the first fight?
brendan schaub
Holloway.
joe rogan
Holloway won, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
It was a decision?
brendan schaub
Pretty sure.
joe rogan
Yeah.
That's so long ago.
Just scroll up.
Let me see what else is on that card.
Ovin St. Preux and Nikita Krylov.
That's right.
Nikita used to be a heavyweight.
unidentified
Now he's a light heavyweight.
joe rogan
Khalil Roundtree Jr. Eric Anders.
Woo, that's a good fight.
Great fight.
That's an under-the-radar fight.
Montel Jackson.
You know what?
Johnny Walker knocked out Khalil Roundtree, too.
brendan schaub
Dude.
With elbows from the clinch.
joe rogan
Ooh, from the clinch.
Yeah.
And Khalil's a serious striker.
Wilson Hayes, Alejandro Pinto.
brendan schaub
A little fact about Khalil Roundtree.
You know, he used to be over 300 pounds.
joe rogan
Really?
brendan schaub
Used to be fat as fuck.
joe rogan
That's crazy because he doesn't have any loose skin.
brendan schaub
I know.
joe rogan
Some guys, they bounce back good.
unidentified
He was young.
Oh.
brendan schaub
He was young and he was working in an MMA fucking warehouse or something.
joe rogan
Well, that's the same thing with David Goggins.
David Goggins, the...
brendan schaub
Oh, the Navy Seal.
joe rogan
He bounced back to, whoa, look at him.
brendan schaub
Ten year challenge.
joe rogan
2010 and 2016. That's only six years.
brendan schaub
Six year challenge.
joe rogan
Imagine you break up with him and six years later he's jacked.
brendan schaub
Dude, dying piece.
Look at that boy now.
joe rogan
Dying piece.
I'm just tired of you being all fat and getting on top of me and I can't breathe.
It's over, Khalil.
brendan schaub
Now he's like, what's up, bitch?
joe rogan
Six years later.
brendan schaub
Big fat dick still there.
joe rogan
Dude, knocked out Gokhan Saki with one punch.
He's a beast.
That just shows you how crazy powerful Johnny Walker is, man.
Ridiculous.
Ridiculously powerful.
brendan schaub
What do you do with him next?
Keep it slow.
joe rogan
Giving him good fights.
brendan schaub
Don't give him Latifi.
unidentified
No, no, no.
brendan schaub
Latifi pisses me off.
joe rogan
Does he?
unidentified
Why?
brendan schaub
He's so good.
joe rogan
How about Corey Anderson, man?
Nobody's giving Corey Anderson any love.
How weird is that?
It's weird.
And a lot of people say it's because he's not stopping people.
He's just winning.
But he's winning.
That's the point.
He's fucking beating.
He beat Latifi.
See, you're talking about Latifi and not talking about Corey Anderson.
unidentified
I know.
joe rogan
It's fucked up.
brendan schaub
And I love Corey Anderson.
joe rogan
Corey, we're sorry.
brendan schaub
Corey, we're sorry.
But fuck that.
joe rogan
And Corey's a bowhunter, too.
brendan schaub
Yep, that must be fun.
But fuck that.
How about Jimmy Manawan, Johnny Walker?
There's another one on the house, Dana White.
joe rogan
Well, that is a possibility.
Yeah, Jimmy Manoa is dangerous.
unidentified
I know.
brendan schaub
So is Johnny Walker.
joe rogan
Serious power.
brendan schaub
Jimmy Manoa is great.
joe rogan
That fight with Tiago Santos was chaos for as long as it lasted.
brendan schaub
It was amazing.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Johnny Walker, Jimmy Manoa.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Sign me the fuck up.
unidentified
Woo!
brendan schaub
Any other brain busters?
unidentified
Woo!
joe rogan
How do you feel like Dustin Poirier, Max Holloway plays out?
brendan schaub
Mack's always so goddamn talented and not having to cut at 45 anymore.
It's a tough fight for Dustin.
Dustin, you know I love you.
I'm glad Dustin got a big fight.
What's interesting is they offered the fight to Tony Ferguson and turned it down.
joe rogan
But hear about this.
Dustin Poirier stops Pettis, right?
Didn't he stop Pettis?
Right?
He stopped Justin Gaethje.
brendan schaub
Gaethje.
joe rogan
Who else did he stop?
brendan schaub
That was his last fight, right?
joe rogan
But those are two world champions.
There was another one.
There was another fight in there where he stopped somebody else.
brendan schaub
Who else did he stop?
joe rogan
He stopped someone else that's...
brendan schaub
Alvarez.
joe rogan
Alvarez.
Eddie Alvarez.
brendan schaub
Another world champion.
That was Eddie's last fight.
joe rogan
Yeah.
I mean, those are three legitimate champions.
I mean, I know Justin Gage was a champion in the PFL. Before it was the PFL, right?
What did they call it back then?
brendan schaub
World Series of Fighting.
joe rogan
Yeah.
So he beat him.
He beat Pettis.
He beat Eddie Alvarez.
And this is that light heavyweight jump.
You know?
And he also beat Jim Miller.
I mean, damn.
His last fight was at 45 against Michael...
Was that at 55?
55. It might have been 55 with Michael Johnson.
That was before Johnson went to 45. Johnson at 45 is a motherfucker.
brendan schaub
Trouble.
joe rogan
He's a motherfucker.
Yeah, I mean, I'm really excited about that.
I'm really excited about that fight.
brendan schaub
I'm excited for Poirier.
He won a big-name fight and he got it.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's got an interim title shot.
brendan schaub
Do you have any idea why Tony Ferguson turned it down?
joe rogan
I do not know.
I have not talked to Tony Ferguson.
I mean, maybe it was because, hey, I already am the fucking interim title holder.
Why would I fight for the interim title again?
brendan schaub
Max Holloway, though?
joe rogan
Yeah, I get that.
But, I mean, he already was the interim title holder.
And then they just took it away from him when he was doing crap.
I think it's really fucked up.
unidentified
It's really fucked up.
joe rogan
He comes back and beats Pettis.
brendan schaub
Here's what's fucked up.
Is now, if the winner of Max Holloway, Dustin Poirier, he's guaranteed a title shot.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
So Tony's still not going to get a shot.
joe rogan
Yeah.
They were trying to do Cowboy vs.
Connor, and apparently the sticking point was that it was going to be a co-main event.
brendan schaub
How dare they!
joe rogan
I think the idea is that they have to have world titles as a main event.
brendan schaub
Says who?
joe rogan
That's my argument.
brendan schaub
It's the Wild West DW. Get your head out of your ass.
That's a main event.
joe rogan
Shoot him a text.
brendan schaub
Send him a heart.
joe rogan
Did he block you?
brendan schaub
I think so.
We're not seeing eye-eye.
I actually like the guy.
We have no problems.
joe rogan
I know.
I tried to get you guys together.
I gave it my best shot.
I gave it my fucking...
brendan schaub
You tried, man.
Sometimes you just gotta go separate ways.
joe rogan
Yeah.
I don't understand it, man.
It's weird when you have friends that don't like each other.
You know, when you're good friends with both of them?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
And they're like, fuck that guy.
And you're like, alright, man.
I don't have to tell you.
brendan schaub
But I don't talk bad about him.
joe rogan
No, you don't.
brendan schaub
I criticize some of the UFC decisions because I do a show, but then I have no issue with them at all.
joe rogan
I like that, though.
I mean, look...
Part of the thrill of these things, it's got to be Rage and Al.
Cowboy was in my office yesterday.
You know him, White said.
He wants to fight.
He's ready to fight again.
He wants to fight against Swillick and another opponent for him.
Maybe Rage and Al.
Sid does not specify who's going to be fighting next.
Sid says, hmm.
brendan schaub
Dude, you're telling me Conor was like, no, I'm not taking the fight if I'm co-main event?
Why in the fuck would you make that a co-main event?
joe rogan
Yeah, he said he could be out of action until the fall.
McGregor could be.
You know, the other thing is McGregor hasn't fought in so long.
He hasn't fought MMA in so long.
brendan schaub
It's not good.
Last fight was Khabib.
joe rogan
His last fight was Khabib, right?
But he takes almost two years off, right?
He fights Khabib.
He gets smoked by Khabib.
And then he has...
How long was that?
Was that November?
That was a long time off.
brendan schaub
It's not good.
joe rogan
No.
He needs to be active.
Like, really active.
brendan schaub
It's hard to be active when you're making that much money off the whiskey.
joe rogan
That's the problem.
The whiskey.
The whiskey.
And he made like $100 million off the Floyd Mayweather fight.
He's making...
I'm proud of him.
brendan schaub
I'm proud of him.
joe rogan
He's doing great.
brendan schaub
Tight move.
joe rogan
Look.
Between you and him.
I mean, him while he's in the middle of his career and you post-career.
I mean, you guys have laid some interesting blueprints for fighters.
So yeah, it was October.
October 2018. That's quite a long time ago.
brendan schaub
That's not good.
joe rogan
Actually, it's not that far.
November, December, January, February.
That was only five months ago.
Seems like a long time ago though, doesn't it?
brendan schaub
But he has nothing coming up.
So by the time he fights, it's going to be another year.
Because that was his last fight.
joe rogan
Which was two years.
And two years before that was his previous fight.
It's not good.
brendan schaub
Especially if you want to be creme de la creme.
You just can't fight like that.
joe rogan
I think he's only interested in big fights, like things that excite him now, you know, because he's got so much money and so much success.
It's just one of those things.
brendan schaub
Can you blame him?
joe rogan
But here, look at that, that main event.
The main event of that fight was a non-title fight, Conor versus Nate Diaz.
That was non-title.
jamie vernon
I believe both times they fought.
joe rogan
But the last one, the fact that it was a non-title fight, it was also the biggest pay-per-view of all time.
brendan schaub
Dude, whoever recommended that he be co-main event against Cowboy should get their mouths pissed in.
That's ridiculous.
Thank you.
unidentified
That's so aggressive.
Oh, That's why Dana doesn't like that.
joe rogan
Well, I don't know who that was.
brendan schaub
I'm not saying Dana recommended that.
joe rogan
I'm just saying, R. Kelly, you're up.
brendan schaub
You're up.
joe rogan
I believe I can fly.
brendan schaub
God, dog.
joe rogan
Alright, let's wrap this up before your voice goes out.
brendan schaub
We did it, dude.
There's no way I'm doing stand-up tonight.
joe rogan
No.
brendan schaub
I apologize to everyone.
joe rogan
Yeah, you can't.
Well, everybody who listens to this podcast will know you're not faking it.
brendan schaub
They're going to be pissed.
joe rogan
Eh, what are you going to do?
I know.
Are you at the store tonight?
No, it's supposed to be at the store.
brendan schaub
I'm back tomorrow night.
joe rogan
It's a stacked show.
brendan schaub
I'll be back tomorrow night.
joe rogan
Tomorrow night, you good?
brendan schaub
Next week, I'm back on tour in Miami.
Friday, Saturday.
Miami Improv.
joe rogan
Oh, Miami Improv.
brendan schaub
That's next week.
Then after that, I'm in Milwaukee, Turner Hall.
After that, I'm in Washington, D.C., D.C. Improv.
joe rogan
tfatk.com?
brendan schaub
Woo!
joe rogan
All right, folks.
We'll be back tomorrow with more goodness.
See ya.
