joe rogan
They're the best jeans I've ever worn.
I don't want to get paid for them.
We live?
We live.
Ladies and motherfucking gentlemen, this is a fight companion podcast.
What that means is we're watching the fights.
This was supposed to be the heavyweight title fight, and that was supposed to be in Vegas.
It was supposed to be Fabrizio Verdun versus Cain Velasquez, but Cain Velasquez got hurt, and he pulled out of the fight, and then Stipe Miocic replaced him, and then Verdun said, well, I'm hurt too.
Fuck this.
And he pulled out, because I guess he had a couple of injuries.
Smart move, I guess, if you're injured.
You know, he figured, fuck it, I'm just going to fight Cain no matter what, I guess.
And then when he found out it was Miocic, he's like, listen, I'm hurt.
Fuck this.
brendan schaub
Smart move.
Yeah.
Because...
Let's explain what this is.
joe rogan
This is a Fight Companion podcast.
It's not a regular podcast.
So we're watching the fights, but honestly, it's almost never us watching the fights.
So if you're listening to this right now, you're like, I don't give a fuck about fights.
Most of the time, we don't either.
Eddie Bravo's here, my brother Eddie Bravo.
unidentified
Yo, yo, yo.
joe rogan
The greatest that ever did it.
What?
Holla!
Brian Callen, my dog, one of my favorite human beings on the planet, as well as my brother Brendan Schaub, also one of my favorite humans on the planet.
So these are my favorite podcasts, more than anything.
I look forward to these fucking things.
brendan schaub
The best.
joe rogan
They're so much fun.
brendan schaub
The best.
joe rogan
It's like we get to hang out and be ourselves.
We get to fuck around.
bryan callen
Just talk.
brendan schaub
Just a couple dudes.
joe rogan
Just talking shit.
We get to bro out.
bryan callen
We're just bro out, guys.
brendan schaub
Bro out for three hours.
joe rogan
Bro out unapologetically.
Have some fun.
Watch some fights.
bryan callen
Talk about what we eat.
joe rogan
Brian is going to try on his barbell jeans.
I got him some flexi jeans.
bryan callen
It's funny how guys don't change.
My son, I went hiking with him and all he was talking about for two days is, I want you to teach me how to chop down a tree.
He's obsessed.
I'm like, alright, but I need to chop a tree down.
So we go, and we go to the quote-unquote chop a tree down, and I get him a hatchet.
He hasn't put that hatchet down.
You give that kid any kind of a weapon.
My daughter looks at the hatchet like, maybe I can decorate it.
She wanted to put sparkles on the handle, and my son was like, what?
joe rogan
You know, what's interesting is that gay men can go one of two ways.
They can go towards, like, girly type stuff, or they can go just as manly.
brendan schaub
You're talking about the beers, though.
joe rogan
Well, there's just not even beers.
It's like two different styles of gay men.
Like, I have a gay couple that lives on my street.
The nicest fucking dudes.
They're so nice.
And one of them is the man.
He's into trucks.
He makes all the cash.
bryan callen
You can break it down to...
joe rogan
We talk trucks, man.
bryan callen
You can break it down.
One fucks guys, and the other doesn't.
joe rogan
Well, I don't know.
I don't know how that works.
I don't get personal with them.
They're just the coolest motherfuckers.
I get the best neighbors.
bryan callen
I know a couple like that, and I get personal with them.
brendan schaub
But then there's twinks, right?
Then there's like the twinks who are the super girly.
Then why would you want to just be with a girl?
You know what I'm saying?
Or like the lesbians?
joe rogan
Well, how come some dudes like girls with big asses?
Some dudes like girls with really skinny.
brendan schaub
Hey, everyone likes a girl with a big ass.
joe rogan
No, man.
Like there's some guys that are into like really skinny girls.
bryan callen
Yes.
joe rogan
Like really skinny like model type girls with no asses.
brendan schaub
Not a lot.
None of my friends.
joe rogan
It's weird.
bryan callen
It's all over the map.
joe rogan
It's a good way to put it.
It's all over the map.
brendan schaub
He's into trucks.
unidentified
But it's true.
joe rogan
We talk fucking suspensions and shit.
bryan callen
All right, Joe, I'll see you later.
brendan schaub
He goes, sucks dick.
joe rogan
His husband is actually into trucks, too, so it's weird.
But the point being is, like, they're very different personalities that are gay.
Like, I know gay dudes that don't seem even a little gay.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
And then, you know, they had to eventually come out and, you know, explain the whole thing.
Like, do you know, like, there's, like, the fuck's his name?
Like, let me think of, like, a good example.
Well, there's a lot of them.
brendan schaub
There's a lot.
joe rogan
No need to name them.
bryan callen
My buddy Keith, he's the man in the relationship.
He wrestled in college, makes millions of dollars.
And he was with a bunch of straight guys.
We were all eating and stuff, hanging out.
Frank was there.
And he goes, he just said it so matter-of-factly.
He goes, I mean, I think the only difference between me and you guys is I suck cock, you know?
unidentified
And he kept talking.
bryan callen
He's got a really deep voice too.
The difference is I'm not going to get fucked, but I'll fuck him.
joe rogan
That's hilarious.
brendan schaub
Some will only fuck, right?
Some will only fuck.
bryan callen
They won't take it.
joe rogan
Some will only fuck.
eddie bravo
Some don't give blowjobs, right?
joe rogan
Some don't give blowjobs.
eddie bravo
On the gay singles sites, I bet they have to say that.
I bet there's a name for that.
Like a dude who doesn't suck dick.
He's got to have a name.
There's got to be like a code one.
brendan schaub
I wonder what it is.
eddie bravo
Think of a name.
joe rogan
I had the weirdest conversation with a gay couple once after a show I did in Connecticut way back in the day, man.
I don't even remember what bit it was that they were upset about, but they came up to me after the show and they were saying that, just to let you know, most gay guys don't fuck each other in the ass.
Like, we're married, we're gay, or a couple.
I don't know if it was legal to be married back then, because you're talking about like 91. 192, something like that.
And he was talking about, we just blow each other.
And I was like, okay.
bryan callen
That's the end of the relationship.
joe rogan
I don't know where to go with this.
eddie bravo
You used to fuck me in the ass all the time.
joe rogan
Yeah, he was talking to me about...
eddie bravo
And then after a while...
bryan callen
I would have answered, I would have said, I don't believe you, but continue.
unidentified
No, no, no.
joe rogan
He was being honest.
He was like, we're not into it.
And he's like, it seems like the kind of humor, like that kind of gay humor, like fucking the ass humor, is like, it goes over really big out here in Connecticut, but we mostly, we hang out in the city.
He was one of those guys.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
It was like big on telling you that I'm very sophisticated.
I'm always in the city.
And I don't even take it in the ass.
I'm just getting my dick sucked by guys.
It was the strangest fucking conversation.
eddie bravo
Yeah, but there's guys like that that...
joe rogan
But my point to him was, it was like, but you know guys do get fucked in the ass.
It's what they do.
When I'm talking about someone fucking someone in the ass, it's not like I'm making things up.
No.
unidentified
I was under the impression that they all did that.
joe rogan
No, they don't.
They definitely don't.
brendan schaub
That'd be the exception though, right?
bryan callen
I don't know.
eddie bravo
At least on their birthday.
Every now and then on their birthday, boom.
brendan schaub
You gotta give up that ass, son.
joe rogan
I'm not into surveys.
eddie bravo
Once in a while.
When they're drunk and they complain.
I bet that's the number one complaint.
That's why they break up.
When they stop fucking the ass and it's just hand jobs, you know it's over.
Get the fuck out.
Get the fuck out.
joe rogan
This is the kind of fight Mike Pyle's about to fight Sean Spencer.
This is the kind of fight that makes me wish that TRT was legal.
Because Pyle's so fucking smart and crafty.
Exactly.
He's so fucking smart and crafty, I wish they could get that dude on TRT. You know what I'm saying?
brendan schaub
He 100% needs it.
joe rogan
Well, of course.
You definitely need it when you hit 40. He's been fighting for so long?
brendan schaub
Well, 40, I think how long he's been fighting.
joe rogan
He's been fighting for a long time.
He's taken some hard shots.
He's been KO'd by guys like Matt Brown.
unidentified
Tough guys.
joe rogan
dude though.
His skill level is very high.
But you know, there's a reality.
There's a goddamn difference between a 21 year old body, a natural one, and a natural 40 year old body.
There just is.
brendan schaub
I agree.
His fight IQ has to be the highest.
joe rogan
Very high.
eddie bravo
He's a savage man.
About 10 years ago, we did a movie together.
We were extras in a movie called The Assassination of a High School Principal.
We played like, I'm 35 years old and I'm playing a fraternity guy.
It was terrible.
It was terrible.
joe rogan
So bad.
eddie bravo
But we're both in it.
And that guy is such a savage.
I've never seen anybody.
We went to a club that night afterwards.
He went into a club, grabbed a girl like a savage.
Just took her.
brendan schaub
Grabbed that bitch by the ponytail.
eddie bravo
We went back to the hotel and he handled business.
I've never seen him.
bryan callen
Damn.
joe rogan
We don't know what his status was at the time.
brendan schaub
We don't know what happened.
bryan callen
It was between 10 and 20 years ago.
joe rogan
It could have been 100 years ago.
bryan callen
It may not have been Mike Pyle.
eddie bravo
That's one thing I remember about Mike is he is a savage.
I never seen anybody get down like that.
joe rogan
Let's be real careful with those kind of details.
Those can be brought up.
bryan callen
Yeah, that's true.
brendan schaub
That's assault, brother.
You can't be doing that.
joe rogan
Well, he's...
Yeah, you can't even say you do that anymore.
It used to be that that was like an old movie trick.
brendan schaub
Dude, you know who's the biggest savage as far as getting chicks I've ever seen?
And you would never guess when I gave you 100 tries.
Me and him were in Toronto.
Give you a hundred tries.
Jake Shields.
joe rogan
Oh, I would imagine.
brendan schaub
With just Asians, though.
joe rogan
He's a handsome bastard.
unidentified
Just Asian girls.
He's handsome.
brendan schaub
Dude, you would have thought he was Tom Cruise up in that bitch.
joe rogan
Jake Shields is a very handsome guy.
brendan schaub
I mean, he's cool.
But he was like, hey, I need you to be my wingman and help me out here.
I was like, me?
eddie bravo
What?
joe rogan
What do you mean by saying he's cool?
Like, you don't think that's a good looking guy?
brendan schaub
He's not Luke Rockhold.
eddie bravo
Oh, come on.
bryan callen
I wouldn't say, is that handsome there?
joe rogan
No, he's not as handsome.
Luke Rockhold is ridiculous.
brendan schaub
He's a timepiece.
He's a straight timepiece.
eddie bravo
He's not Alan Juban level, that's for sure.
brendan schaub
Dude, Alan Juban's a straight model.
joe rogan
So when you talk about those guys...
You know the story about Alan Juban had a big photo shoot in New York City like two weeks before his fight, so he had to cut weight twice.
He cuts weight for his photo shoots.
He gets shredded for his photo shoots.
I talked to Kenny Johnson about his wrestling coach.
brendan schaub
His Versace, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, he's got a big fucking campaign, man.
He's gonna make bank.
He's a beautiful person.
Not just the way he looks, but he's a great guy.
eddie bravo
The most beautiful in UFC history.
joe rogan
His heart, he's the sweetest guy.
eddie bravo
Never been a young Don Frye.
joe rogan
He's such a nice guy to train with and everything, too.
He's so polite.
He's just a great guy.
Alan Jaban is the salt of the earth.
brendan schaub
I agree.
Beast, too.
joe rogan
Doesn't get any better looking.
brendan schaub
Good luck being that.
eddie bravo
I love you, bitch.
bryan callen
I know.
unidentified
Good luck being that.
eddie bravo
Alan's a 10. Jake Shields is an 8. A strong 8. He's a strong 8. He's a strong 8. You want me on here?
unidentified
I would say Jake's a solid 4. I'd say Jake's a 4. Oh, come on!
bryan callen
What?!
unidentified
I'd say he's a 6. What are you?
joe rogan
Honestly.
Take yourself out of that.
I'll give you a hit of weed.
brendan schaub
I want you to be real.
joe rogan
Why don't you be real about this?
unidentified
What are you?
joe rogan
What are you?
eddie bravo
I don't say I'm a 5. I'm mid-pack.
brendan schaub
My ears don't help.
joe rogan
You're very critical.
bryan callen
Your ears do help, though.
He's a 9. Girls like fucked up ears.
joe rogan
They're like a guy who's been through some danger.
They don't like a guy who's terrified of danger.
It's a natural, instinctive reaction.
It's to protect your genetics.
A guy who has never experienced danger may very well fall apart in the face of danger.
So a guy who does crazy shit, like does flips and bikes, why do you think they do that?
They do that because it attracts females.
Because females are attracted to a guy who's very risky.
A guy who takes chances and does nutty shit because those guys can survive pressure.
brendan schaub
That makes sense.
I'm just saying with all the UFC fighters, I'd give myself a five.
Because we're all not scared of danger.
joe rogan
I'd give you a solid eight.
How about that?
bryan callen
I'd give you a solid eight, maybe eight and a half.
joe rogan
But you're a notch better than Jake Shields because you're way bigger than him.
I see girls look at you.
It's hilarious.
bryan callen
It's unbelievable.
joe rogan
And their little ovaries go, ding!
bryan callen
Hungry Eyes.
Everything we've done.
joe rogan
Not just Fighter and the Kid fans, a friend of mine, who's never even met Shaw before, was like, who's your friend?
You could tell her little loins were tingling.
unidentified
What's up, dog?
bryan callen
Bartender at the comic store.
Bartender at the comic store.
unidentified
So it's a list of details.
brendan schaub
That's awesome.
joe rogan
Oh my god, there's only one there.
You didn't see I was already talking about her?
bryan callen
I'm just saying generally.
joe rogan
You motherfucker.
bryan callen
The waitress at the...
Thank god you're not high.
One of the waitresses at the Congress.
joe rogan
But how about nothing?
eddie bravo
I would say you're a low nine.
joe rogan
How about no one from anywhere?
brendan schaub
A low nine.
eddie bravo
A weak nine.
brendan schaub
What's a ten?
Jobin?
He's a Versace.
eddie bravo
He's an eleven.
He's an eleven.
joe rogan
Well, you're being kind.
Shob's an eight.
He's a good-looking eight.
But he's got a personality.
Personality means more than two points.
bryan callen
Yes, it does.
joe rogan
Again, eight.
Look at that Alan Joban picture.
bryan callen
Oh my god.
joe rogan
Damn.
That's not even a real person.
bryan callen
Tell me he's short at least.
Tell me he's 5'4".
unidentified
No, he's not.
joe rogan
Six feet tall.
brendan schaub
Six feet.
bryan callen
Beautiful.
brendan schaub
You know he just did a campaign for Equinox.
joe rogan
I'll tell you what, man.
If you're an Alan Joban hater, you fucking hate people because he's one of the best people I've ever met.
brendan schaub
I agree.
Just a great, great dude.
joe rogan
He's a fucking great guy.
Can't say anything bad about him.
bryan callen
If I looked like that, I'd wake up every morning and be like, this is going to be a good day.
joe rogan
I'm telling you, though, I mean, he's not a pretty boy.
I mean, this motherfucker's had some serious fights.
brendan schaub
And he bites down on that mouthpiece and scraps.
He got knocked down his last fighter.
joe rogan
He fought Tumanoff, man.
Tumanoff is a motherfucker, dude.
brendan schaub
Motherfucker.
I didn't like that matchup.
joe rogan
His efficiency, it was a tough fight for anybody.
Especially a tough fight when you cut weak.
Close fight.
He cut two weeks before.
No, he got knocked out in the first round.
brendan schaub
No, no, no.
I'm saying not the result.
I'm saying on paper, that's a tough fight to pick.
joe rogan
I wouldn't have taken it if I was in the Allen's corner.
If I was in the Allen's corner, I wouldn't have taken it.
I wouldn't have taken it because it's not that I don't think he can beat that guy.
I just think right now, Tumanoff striking is so smooth and efficient.
brendan schaub
It's heavy.
joe rogan
It's heavy.
It's straight down the pipe.
It's also very fluid.
Like, he can go from throwing a jab to throwing a lead uppercut in a straight right hand, and every one of them is perfect.
brendan schaub
And they count.
joe rogan
They count, they're accurate, and the mechanics behind them are totally correct.
brendan schaub
Scary dude.
joe rogan
Like, there's guys that probably hit harder.
Like, Tyron Woodley probably hits harder than anybody.
Tyron Woodley, like, one shot for one shot.
Like, when he KO'd Jay Heron, I was like, Jesus Christ!
Christ!
He's an exploder, dude.
If he catches you perfectly on that explosion, he's going to put you away.
And it's not saying that his efficiency is bad.
His efficiency is way better even now because he's training with Duke Rufus.
Tuminov doesn't have that one-shot power that Woodley has, but his efficiency is perfect.
brendan schaub
Ooh, it's nasty.
joe rogan
Everything is perfect.
You see a guy that hits hard, one of the things you see, almost invariably, is their body positioning is always perfect.
When a guy's throwing a ridiculous punch, you'll see the bend in the legs, you'll see the turn of the body.
When a guy's a serious power striker, with Tuminov, everything's in place.
It's all like the knee is in the right spot, when the hook...
When he's throwing the hook, his foot's in the right spot, his weight's in the right spot.
There's no bullshit.
bryan callen
Did he come out of the Russian amateur boxing thing?
joe rogan
He's a master of sports in boxing.
bryan callen
Yeah, that's trouble, man.
joe rogan
And he can fucking kick, too, man.
He can kick.
bryan callen
He's an amazing amateur program.
joe rogan
Yeah.
He's unexpectedly dangerous with his kicks.
brendan schaub
But he lost his last fight, right?
joe rogan
No, he didn't.
No.
No, he beat Lorenz Larkin.
unidentified
Oh, that's right.
brendan schaub
But it wasn't a great fight.
It was a very good fight.
joe rogan
I loved that fight.
unidentified
I don't think so.
Really?
joe rogan
So close, because they were so dangerous.
brendan schaub
Did we do a fight campaign for that?
joe rogan
I don't think so.
This is the one where Lorenz Larkin was throwing those wheel kicks to the thigh.
brendan schaub
That's right.
And fucked up his thigh.
joe rogan
Fucked up his leg.
Fucked up his leg.
But Tuminov hung in there to the end.
And a super close fight.
I honestly thought that Larkin pulled it off, but I wasn't upset at the decision because it was so close.
His leg was jacked.
bryan callen
It was so weird.
Those low wheel kicks.
He does all kinds of weird stuff.
joe rogan
Larkin is a bad motherfucker, dude.
He's one of the dark horses in that division.
brendan schaub
His takedown defense, I haven't seen anything like it in a long time.
He came up to Reign to train with Munoz, Pat Cummins, and myself, and his wrestling day.
I was like, oh, we're just going to take this full down.
joe rogan
Well, I thought going into that fight, Larkin was going to have the kicking advantage, and Tumanoff was going to have the striking advantage, and that's how it turned out.
But, God damn, it was a close-ass fight.
Larkin actually has braces and during the fight his fucking braces were sticking into his mouth.
bryan callen
Oh my god.
joe rogan
Like something went wrong with his braces.
He was like trying to fix it in between rounds.
brendan schaub
How the fuck can you fight with braces?
joe rogan
He shouldn't be fighting with braces.
brendan schaub
Isn't there Invisalign now or some shit?
joe rogan
But he's a very good looking man.
brendan schaub
He has the Frank Shamrock braces?
bryan callen
Yeah, I need some.
brendan schaub
He has the silver mouth?
joe rogan
I don't know.
I don't know.
I didn't see it until they're talking about it in between rounds in the corner.
bryan callen
I still feel bad about myself after seeing Al Angel Byron.
joe rogan
I wonder if Bellator is going to let Benson Henderson fight with a toothpick in his mouth.
brendan schaub
They're going to let him do whatever the fuck he wants.
joe rogan
Oh, he clipped him.
unidentified
He clipped him.
joe rogan
Oh, shit.
Oh, man.
He's covering heads up really bad.
Come on, pal.
brendan schaub
Don't get too crazy.
joe rogan
Oh, it's 3-0-1 right now.
3, 259, 258, 257. Sync that shit up.
Mike Pyle versus Sean Spencer?
Is that who's fighting?
Is that the...
bryan callen
He just got rocked.
Spencer got rocked, man.
joe rogan
Is that his name?
We shouldn't say that's his name.
unidentified
Sean Spencer, yeah.
brendan schaub
Oh, shit.
Yeah, Ben Henderson's fighting for the title shot, right?
Isn't he fighting Brooks?
joe rogan
Do you know that's secretly my biggest fear?
Is he going to fight for the title?
brendan schaub
Yeah, by the way.
It's next month.
joe rogan
My biggest fear is forgetting what someone's name is in the middle of a fight while calling the fight.
brendan schaub
Good thing you don't have a head drum.
bryan callen
I don't know how you do it.
brendan schaub
Good thing, Doc.
joe rogan
Well, I also have alpha brain and notes.
eddie bravo
You got some alpha brain on you right now?
brendan schaub
For reals, I could use some of that right now.
joe rogan
Where's the jug?
There should be a jug over here.
Oh, here it is.
brendan schaub
These are good fights tonight, man.
joe rogan
The best stuff is the new stuff we have.
The instant alpha brain?
The shit.
I take four.
The instant stuff is awesome.
brendan schaub
I do love the instant.
joe rogan
I don't have any here.
Dude, I had Kyle Kingsbury on the other day.
He's the best.
brendan schaub
Great guy.
joe rogan
Oh my god, what a sweetheart.
So fucking smart, too.
brendan schaub
His wife is a Smoke Show 3000, too.
joe rogan
She used to be a UFC ring card girl.
brendan schaub
Yes, sir.
joe rogan
She's a very cool chick, too.
brendan schaub
The whole family's just good people.
joe rogan
They're Salt of the Earth.
unidentified
What'd you call her?
joe rogan
So cool.
Salt of the Earth?
Damn, man.
brendan schaub
I said Smoke Show.
joe rogan
Oh, Smoke Show.
brendan schaub
Salt of the Earth, Smoke Show.
joe rogan
Mine's more old school.
brendan schaub
Yours is probably better.
joe rogan
Yeah, she's just a really sweet person, too.
It's cool seeing them parents, too.
It's wild.
brendan schaub
They have two?
No, one.
joe rogan
One little boy.
God, he's so fucking cute.
eddie bravo
Didn't he just start smoking weed recently, right?
joe rogan
I don't think so.
eddie bravo
No?
joe rogan
No, he does everything, man.
He's big in the ayahuasca.
brendan schaub
I thought Pat Cummings had some shit.
eddie bravo
I was under the impression that he just started.
joe rogan
What do you mean?
brendan schaub
Or maybe it was the week before he did a bunch of ayahuasca and then fought Pat.
He got mollywhopped by Pat.
joe rogan
Pat is a motherfucker.
brendan schaub
I cornered Pat during that fight.
joe rogan
Pat Cummins is a motherfucker.
Look how smart Mike Pyle is.
Look how efficient and smooth he is.
bryan callen
He sees the shots, he slips them.
joe rogan
And he's in real good shape.
I mean, don't get me wrong, but there's just a reality about what a 40-year-old body can do as far as the way he pushes himself.
Like, that was what held Bernard Hopkins back.
You know, like, Bernard Hopkins just couldn't keep a pace with a guy like Sergei Kovalov.
He had to go into a defensive mode against him.
brendan schaub
It was tough to watch.
joe rogan
But it was because he was 49 years old.
If he fought Kovalev when he was 35, holy shit, that would have been an amazing fucking fight.
Amazing fight.
Did you see Kovalev's last fight?
Dude.
brendan schaub
What the fuck?
joe rogan
He's a murderer.
bryan callen
Him and Andre Ward, that's the fight.
joe rogan
He killed a guy in the ring.
bryan callen
Yeah, he did.
joe rogan
And it didn't affect him the way it affects most people.
It's very interesting.
brendan schaub
Cool-hearted Russian.
joe rogan
Yeah, it didn't take anything off of his desire to compete.
brendan schaub
Does not give a fuck.
joe rogan
That's one thing that happens to fighters sometimes, and man, they're rarely the same after someone dies in the ring.
bryan callen
Boom Boom Mancini, that happened.
He was never really the same.
joe rogan
Emile Griffith.
They say that Emile Griffiths, they say, was gay.
And that Benny Perrette, the guy who was fighting, was talking a lot of shit about him being gay.
And was saying a lot of gay slurs.
And Emile Griffiths beat the fuck out of that dude.
brendan schaub
And then he died?
joe rogan
He beat him to death.
He beat him to death.
brendan schaub
Damn, son.
joe rogan
Yeah.
I don't remember what round it was.
If I had to guess, I want to say it was like the 14th round.
brendan schaub
There's a documentary on Boom Boom saying how when that guy died, he was never the same.
joe rogan
Oh yeah, of course.
brendan schaub
Never.
Most fighters...
bryan callen
I think the guy's name was Ban Ki-moon or something like that.
joe rogan
Dooku Kim?
bryan callen
Dooku Kim, that's who I was.
unidentified
Ban Ki-moon.
joe rogan
You were close.
bryan callen
Ban Ki-moon is the...
I think it's the commissioner for the UN or something.
His dad was his...
joe rogan
That was another extreme dehydration fight.
He extremely dehydrated to get down to 135. That shit was on national TV if you remember.
They also had weigh-ins the day of the fights.
brendan schaub
That's a terrible idea.
bryan callen
Somebody did something I read, and I don't know if it's true, but they said that a number of people who've died in the ring had dads for their coach.
They'll push themselves.
unidentified
There's not a lot.
joe rogan
There's not a lot.
bryan callen
But apparently that's very common for guys to push themselves until they get really hurt because their dad's in the corner.
joe rogan
Well, Wonderboy Thompson's trained by his dad.
Isn't he?
brendan schaub
Yeah, that's right.
joe rogan
And so is Sage.
Sage Northcutt, trained by his dad.
There's been quite a few.
Darren Crookshank, trained by his dad.
eddie bravo
You think Sage is all the flack he's getting on the internet is just?
What do you think about that?
brendan schaub
No, listen, I think if you ask any fighter, hey, if Dana offered you 40 and 40, are you going to take it at 19?
Fuck yes.
unidentified
Of course.
brendan schaub
It's not his fault, this whole hype machine.
joe rogan
Well, you know what, man?
It was a good fight for him to experience, to learn.
brendan schaub
That's what I said.
joe rogan
He needs to learn some ground defense, and he needs to learn some jiu-jitsu, but that's to be expected.
He's only fucking 19 years old.
eddie bravo
People get caught in the gym all the time, guys that are good at jiu-jitsu.
I get caught.
brendan schaub
I think it was the best thing to happen to him.
joe rogan
The sky's He's the limit, though, as far as his potential.
At 19 years of age, he seems to have a very good attitude.
He's a smart kid.
Athletically, he's ridiculous.
Have you seen those front flips he can do?
bryan callen
It's crazy.
Off a toe.
Off one toe.
joe rogan
And the way he does it, it looks fake.
It looks like he's on a stick.
You're spinning him like one of those foosball tables.
brendan schaub
He said he was on antibiotics, too, in that fight, because he looked like shit.
We had strep.
joe rogan
That's one of the reasons why, apparently, he tapped so quickly.
Because when it was clamping down on his throat, he was already swollen, his throat was already fucked up.
He had strep.
brendan schaub
He's gonna be fine.
He gets a lot of hate.
He gets a lot of hate.
joe rogan
Of course he does.
brendan schaub
It's tough, like, you see Tony Ferguson made videos, like, I tapped out like a bitch.
It's tough if you're a guy like Tony Ferguson, who's grinding, right?
He doesn't get nowhere near as much love as a guy like Sage.
joe rogan
You know, Tony Ferguson is in the PR business as well as in the fight business.
That's the reality in the post-McGregor era.
You're in the PR business, man.
Look what Conor McGregor did.
He said, ooh, Mike Pyle got a good guillotine.
He's got a good guillotine.
Look at him scooting in here.
Look at him scooting in here.
Watch that right butterfly.
He will mount.
He will fucking mount.
Oh, what did I call?
He missed it.
Missed him out.
He's a bad motherfucker, Mike Pyle.
He fought Rampage Jackson in 2001. His first pro fight was Rampage Jackson.
bryan callen
Rampage is way bigger than he is.
joe rogan
I'm telling you.
Mike Pyle, and that was one of the reasons that Matt Brown was so respectful about him after the fight.
He's like, people don't know how good Mike Pyle is.
brendan schaub
I guess in the training room, too, he's even better.
I guess he's a motherfucker.
joe rogan
That's what I hear.
brendan schaub
They say in the training room he's, like, unstoppable.
joe rogan
I'm telling you, TRT is designed for dudes like this.
brendan schaub
Can't do it anymore, son.
And now they have testing for HGH? China calls, son.
joe rogan
They have testing for HGH? Yes, they have a testing for HGH that gets you from 21 days out.
unidentified
What?
brendan schaub
Now you're really fucked.
joe rogan
It used to be, like, a day.
It used to be, like, 24 hours.
brendan schaub
You can't do shit anymore.
joe rogan
You can't do shit anymore.
bryan callen
Don't come up with something.
Gene, don't think me.
joe rogan
Well, I told you Nowitzki said that they've already, at least theoretically, have testosterone that's derived from animals instead of wild yams.
So the carbon isotope test doesn't work.
Yeah, it looks like human testosterone.
brendan schaub
Oh, Dirty Bird.
Yeah, no shit, your name's the Dirty Bird.
joe rogan
That doesn't mean anything.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but it does.
Of course the Dirty Bird tested positive.
joe rogan
This is a good fight, man.
Mike Pyle and Sean Spencer throwing down, man.
Props to Spencer for surviving that exchange.
brendan schaub
This fight's in Vegas?
Yeah, this is at the MGM. That stadium looks empty.
joe rogan
It's empty, I'm sure.
When the main event dropped out, I'm sure a lot of people canceled their trips.
brendan schaub
Dude, I'm not mad at Verdum.
I was going to talk about it at the beginning.
It makes sense because...
Since he's the heavyweight champ, the way it works out a lot of times is you get a percentage of pay-per-views, but you have to hit a certain number.
It's hard to market Stipe versus Verdum on two weeks.
He's not going to hit those pay-per-view numbers.
So when he was like, oh, I'm out, I was like, that's fucking brilliant.
joe rogan
But he's definitely hurt.
The word that I'm hearing from everybody is that he's fucking hurt.
He's been having some back problems for a while now, apparently.
He was having it on one side of his back.
And it would lock up, but he was working through it.
Oh, nice spinning elbow.
Oh, shit.
We got some, son.
brendan schaub
Look at that.
Come on, Pyle.
joe rogan
Oh, shit.
Oh, nasty knee.
Oh, my God.
unidentified
Stop it.
joe rogan
Stop it.
This fight is over, man.
Oh, man.
brendan schaub
Sean Spencer's a monster.
joe rogan
They can stop this fight.
brendan schaub
Who's the ref?
Is that Edo Levine?
Oh, shit.
Steve Levine, son.
joe rogan
Stop it, man.
brendan schaub
That's a brutal beating.
joe rogan
Pyle just looked at him.
Stop it.
Stop it.
He's not defending himself.
brendan schaub
Eve Levine lets shit go.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
unidentified
Brutality.
joe rogan
He does, but that was not good.
brendan schaub
I agree.
But you know if you got Eve Levine as your ref, you're like, ah, I'm about to get fucked up.
eddie bravo
It's a violent sport.
joe rogan
Sometimes it happens.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but we can prevent that.
eddie bravo
You know what?
joe rogan
Four or five of those shots.
bryan callen
He's looking at his eyes.
brendan schaub
What pressure?
joe rogan
Dude, four or five of those shots.
brendan schaub
He's been a ref for fucking years.
eddie bravo
The pressure is if he would have stopped it early and everyone fucking complains.
brendan schaub
No one gave a fuck.
That guy was out.
eddie bravo
That guy was in trouble.
I would rather have it go a little late than a little early.
brendan schaub
No, that hurts the sport, my man.
eddie bravo
That doesn't hurt no fucking sport.
brendan schaub
I disagree.
eddie bravo
How's that hurting the sport?
Are you kidding?
We're paying for the violence.
joe rogan
Yeah, but a little late is unnecessary.
eddie bravo
That wasn't that late, man.
That was very entertaining.
brendan schaub
That might be one less fight on Spencer's career.
eddie bravo
Brutality is what we pay for.
joe rogan
Yeah, you're right.
Well, look, you know what?
It's real subjective, Eddie, because you're right in a lot of ways.
But then again, there's guys that survive it, like Frankie Edgar, right?
If you stopped every fight where Frankie Edgar was wobbled, you'd be in real trouble.
I mean, he would have never beat Gray Matard in that second fight by KO. Correct.
Because he got hurt hard in that first round, and a lot of trigger-happy refs would have pulled the trigger on that fight.
eddie bravo
And there's a shitload of fights out there.
joe rogan
There are.
eddie bravo
There's a whole list of them.
joe rogan
But this one is prolonged.
This is my problem with this.
He's not hitting back and he's not defending himself.
brendan schaub
How's he gonna win?
joe rogan
He's not doing anything.
He's just taking shots.
Stop this, right?
eddie bravo
He was defending himself.
joe rogan
He's not moving.
unidentified
He was defending himself until the very end.
joe rogan
But those last shots, he's not moving.
He's not moving at all.
He's just surviving on his toughness.
brendan schaub
That was a great call.
eddie bravo
That was a great definitive call.
It wasn't on the fence.
joe rogan
It's not bad.
eddie bravo
If it goes a little over the fence, it's fine.
joe rogan
That's why there's subjective thinking.
brendan schaub
Dude, how experienced is Mike Powell?
joe rogan
You and I have different points of view, but I see your argument.
eddie bravo
But we gotta realize, why are we watching this?
We're watching this not for decisions, we're watching this for brutality.
joe rogan
Right, but you gotta protect a guy when a fight is basically over.
Highlights are all brutal.
You gotta protect a guy from his own toughness.
eddie bravo
That's a crazy guy.
That's a beautiful highlight.
Beatdowns like that are highlights.
joe rogan
I think it's a highlight.
Come on.
eddie bravo
It's a highlight.
brendan schaub
If you stopped it...
Three punches before it's still a highlight.
bryan callen
Yes, I agree.
joe rogan
I agree, too.
I agree, too.
But it's not the worst.
That was not the worst stoppage ever.
brendan schaub
No, not at all.
joe rogan
You know what was worse?
You know what was worse?
Luke Rockhold and Chris Weidman.
brendan schaub
100%.
joe rogan
That was worse.
brendan schaub
Way worse.
joe rogan
That was a fight that should have been stopped.
brendan schaub
100%.
joe rogan
When he was on top of them, I was saying, what does Luke Rockhold have to do to get a stoppage?
Because this is terrible.
Chris Weidman has taken damage that's probably not just unnecessary, but most likely when you get beaten up like that, you're not going to recover.
eddie bravo
But there have been many, many fights where they could have easily stopped it and the guy came back to win.
Shane Carr was a lot of fights like that.
There's a lot of fights like that.
You gotta let it go for the fans.
They're paying 65 fucking dollars now?
Come on.
We'd rather have a little late than a little early.
A little late than a little early is always gonna win.
joe rogan
I think Brock Lesnar looked better versus Shane Carr than Weidman did.
brendan schaub
Oh, 100%.
There really wasn't any damage.
He was getting hit, but He's covering up, but there's no blood.
joe rogan
But he looked like he was there.
Weidman was getting thumped on.
brendan schaub
Face was literally like someone shot him with a.22 to the face.
eddie bravo
That's like greatest moments of MMA history because of that.
That's why hardly nobody's doing MMA. Because of the brutality.
That's why people are paying $65 for it.
If it was all decisions, no one would pay for anything.
brendan schaub
That's a stop regardless.
eddie bravo
That wasn't that bad.
joe rogan
Well, okay, you know, we don't have to argue about it.
I see Eddie's point of view, and I'm leaning more towards your side.
I think maybe it could have stopped because he was just standing there taking shots.
He wasn't moving.
brendan schaub
That's my problem.
joe rogan
When a guy's just standing there taking shots and he's not moving, he's waiting for the referee to stop.
eddie bravo
But he was standing fully erect.
He wasn't wobbling.
brendan schaub
Not for the last time.
joe rogan
He's just a stud.
He's a stud.
He's in excellent shape.
But that's how a lot of guys die.
Like, a lot of the guys that have died from getting beat up, they didn't go down.
They got beaten down.
They sank into the ropes.
eddie bravo
How many people have died in MMA? 5,000.
joe rogan
I'm not talking about MMA. Mostly boxing.
Mostly boxing.
Well, you know, one of the things that MMA has going for it is that you can fucking clinch.
It's the cruelest shit ever to watch a guy rocked in a boxing match and the referee's pulling him off and holding on to the guy.
brendan schaub
It's the worst.
joe rogan
It's the only thing that's keeping that guy alive.
eddie bravo
It's gangster.
joe rogan
It's the only thing keeping him alive.
They're like, nope, you can't hang on.
brendan schaub
They go, break up, break it up.
joe rogan
You're like, oh, no.
If you don't let go, I'm going to disqualify you.
Oh, shit.
It's the worst.
It's really dumb.
Mike Pyle.
Powerful Mike Pyle.
This is a big win for him.
Congratulations to him.
brendan schaub
He's been fighting forever, man.
bryan callen
40 years old.
eddie bravo
I remember the first time I heard his name, Ed Clay said, there's a guy from Tennessee named Mike Pyle.
He trains at my gym.
Watch out for this guy.
unidentified
This was 2001 or 2000. So long ago.
eddie bravo
He's 40 now.
joe rogan
He's crazy.
unidentified
Boom!
brendan schaub
Top of the head, son.
joe rogan
Well, I think MMA, in a way, has a longer lifespan, regardless of what you're taking.
Even if you're taking nothing than boxing does, because it's not as completely dependent upon reflexes.
There's so many different skills to learn.
Oh, man.
bryan callen
Yeah, that's true.
joe rogan
This is brutal.
See, that's when he looked at the referee.
brendan schaub
He looked at the referee and went, stop it.
eddie bravo
I haven't stopped.
brendan schaub
That's good.
eddie bravo
One more, and he stopped.
He wanted to make sure, boom, okay, we're done.
He's still on his feet.
joe rogan
Guy wasn't doing shit, though.
Sean was just taking it because he was tough.
bryan callen
He didn't need to take that last name.
unidentified
For sure.
joe rogan
It's alright.
brendan schaub
Eddie wants violence.
eddie bravo
Poor baby.
brendan schaub
Rip his head off.
Eddie's that guy.
Rip his head off.
joe rogan
Wasn't the worst thing.
eddie bravo
Dude, I'm just trying to be honest here.
That's it.
joe rogan
I see what you're saying, but poor baby?
This guy just fought his heart out.
unidentified
You're like, poor baby.
eddie bravo
Hey, that's what people are paying $65.
They know the game.
joe rogan
I don't know, man.
eddie bravo
They know the game.
They know it's brutal.
Everybody's well aware that you're in a fucking cage, man.
Dudes are throwing full-blown shin kicks to your skull.
No one's trying to stop that.
joe rogan
But they are, once you're hurt.
But once you're hurt, they are trying to stop that.
That's the whole idea behind it.
eddie bravo
What would you rather take?
What he went through against the fence like that, with those elbows like that, and you were kind of standing?
Or Edson Barbosa just throwing a straight fucking wheel kick?
unidentified
It's completely different.
eddie bravo
A wheel kick in your face.
bryan callen
Or that switch kick to your side.
eddie bravo
Come on, with the heel.
bryan callen
That switch kick to your floating rib.
joe rogan
No, no, that switch kick ain't shit.
eddie bravo
I'm talking about the wheel kick with the heel in your eye socket.
brendan schaub
Might be the hardest hit.
bryan callen
Yeah, it doesn't feel good.
eddie bravo
I'd rather take those Mike Pyle elbows and shit.
joe rogan
Oh, definitely.
His fucking wheel kick is perfect.
His switch kick and his wheel kick are like the best I've ever seen.
brendan schaub
The fastest, too.
joe rogan
Even his leg kicks are so goddamn fast.
Barclos is probably the fastest kicker maybe I've ever seen.
I don't think I've ever seen anybody kick as fast as him.
brendan schaub
Not even close though.
eddie bravo
There's been a lot of fucking KOs with those wheel kicks over the last five years.
brendan schaub
Look at Wonderboy Thompson.
eddie bravo
It's kind of common now.
joe rogan
Do you remember we used to talk about it and I was like, just people don't know how to do it.
I go, people know how to do it.
It's horrific because if it lands, I've never seen anybody get wheel kicked in the head by a guy who's good and not go out.
Like when you get healed, when a heel hits your head, you know, like sometimes you catch guys with the toes and those guys are okay.
They get slapped.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
But when a heel hits you in the head from a guy who really knows how to kick it.
eddie bravo
And you got your boot on.
And you got the boot on.
brendan schaub
Dude, Wonderboy landed too.
eddie bravo
No, no, no, no.
You got your boot on.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
eddie bravo
As opposed to like this.
joe rogan
Exactly.
Well, the key is, it's just like throwing a punch.
The idea, like when you're throwing a punch is, you don't want your hand completely clinched up until you're going to make impact because then it slows the punch down.
So you're supposed to punch and then tighten your hand up as you're about to hit.
It's like kind of a timing thing in a lot of ways.
You want to keep everything as loose as possible while exploding in the right way.
It's the same thing with a kick.
When you throw in that wheel kick, you want everything to be almost like ballet until like...
Halfway there.
And then halfway there, you're pulling your leg back, and you're pushing your foot forward, and you're sticking that heel out.
But it doesn't come until, like, there.
It's like as you're in the middle of the spin, once you get, like, there, that's when everything hardens up.
And boom!
And then you come across with a heel.
That's what Barboza does.
unidentified
Sneaky.
eddie bravo
No MMA fighters were working on that shit in the late 90s, early 2000s.
joe rogan
People used to make fun of me.
brendan schaub
Yeah, nobody was working on that shit.
Everyone is now, though.
joe rogan
Dude, people used to make fun of me when I brought it up.
I would say, you know, once people learn how to really throw spinning back kicks to the body, it's like getting hit by a car.
eddie bravo
It was more really When the people that already know how to do it learn how to wrestle and do jiu-jitsu so they're not afraid to throw it.
Because there was karate guys and taekwondo guys in those times, but they were told by their MMA coach, don't fucking throw that shit because these guys are going to take you down and choke you out.
So they were limited.
They're like, okay, we're going to keep it nice and simple and we're not going to do these spin kicks that we know how to do because we suck on the ground.
But once, like Stephen Thompson or Wonderboy.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
He landed two on Jake Ellenberger.
He's good on the ground.
joe rogan
This was after Ellenberger said that it was a waste of time to throw those things.
He's like, I'm not worried about his spinning technique.
brendan schaub
He said waste of time?
joe rogan
That's what he said.
He's like, it was a waste of energy.
eddie bravo
In the preview.
brendan schaub
Did he really?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
In the preview he said that.
brendan schaub
Oh no.
joe rogan
Wonderboy moves like a fucking snake.
eddie bravo
That's the future right there.
Guys that can strike like that, like Conor McGregor, like Diego Brandao, those guys that just throw everything.
brendan schaub
Diego Brandao, that's aggressive.
eddie bravo
He's a great striker, isn't he?
brendan schaub
Not compared to those two.
joe rogan
Not to those two.
eddie bravo
He throws a lot of spinning shit.
joe rogan
He throws some wild shit.
brendan schaub
He's like me compared to Joe Ban in the looks department.
eddie bravo
It's far off.
joe rogan
It's far off.
eddie bravo
Did you ever throw spinning shit in the UFC? Never.
Never?
Never!
Why?
You're super athletic.
brendan schaub
No one really taught me.
I never had a kickboxing coach or a taekwondo coach.
eddie bravo
No one ever said, every now and then, it's good to have a fucking game over weapon right there.
That's a wheel kick, man.
brendan schaub
No.
eddie bravo
No one ever taught me that, huh?
A lot of fighters, though, don't throw them.
I would say 80% still don't throw them, right?
brendan schaub
A lot of them can't.
eddie bravo
That's a long-term project.
joe rogan
It's a totally different thing to learn.
eddie bravo
You've got to spend a lot of time on that shit.
brendan schaub
And it's not exactly, if you're putting it in priorities, spinning wheel kick, it's probably at number It's a long-term project, for sure.
Unless it's your shit.
joe rogan
That's why, like, it helps if you have a martial arts background to start with when you're a kid, you learn that shit first.
It becomes normal.
Like, if you see little four-year-olds throwing sidekicks and then wheel kicks, it's hilarious.
brendan schaub
It's cute.
joe rogan
And it's adorable because their legs, they're so used to throwing their legs.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know?
Like, they throw their legs up in the air and it's normal.
And then as they get older and their legs get heavy, their body's used to the dynamic.
bryan callen
That's gonna be a good fight.
Dude, come on.
joe rogan
That's gonna be a crazy fight, son.
Habib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson.
eddie bravo
That's Hagler-Hearns in shape right there.
bryan callen
That's going to be sick.
brendan schaub
Tony's going to fight Johnson again.
I was like, what the fuck is this?
joe rogan
Let's just settle the fuck down.
eddie bravo
What happened there?
joe rogan
What are the odds that that fight is really going to take place?
brendan schaub
Zero to not.
Yeah, not happening.
joe rogan
Nurmagomedov's hurt all the time.
Unfortunately, he's super talented, but he's hurt all the time.
eddie bravo
You think he's going to get hurt again?
joe rogan
He easily could get hurt again.
Easily.
eddie bravo
You know what?
brendan schaub
More likely to get hurt than not, I'd say.
eddie bravo
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Which sucks.
joe rogan
Yeah, look.
People get hurt.
eddie bravo
You think there's a 50% chance of him getting hurt or 80%?
brendan schaub
I'd say 60%.
eddie bravo
That's a lot.
joe rogan
That's a Fox card, apparently.
eddie bravo
That's a lot.
joe rogan
On my calendar, at least, that's a Fox card.
I don't know if that's going to be an FS1 or a Fox card.
brendan schaub
I don't think it's an AKA thing, how these guys are getting hurt.
I think...
Khabib and Kane, they just have so much experience with wrestling and doing combat sports.
They're just getting up there, man.
They're trying to train like regular dudes and they're getting hurt.
Khabib's a young guy.
joe rogan
Khabib's a young guy.
brendan schaub
He has a ton of experience, though.
joe rogan
He does.
brendan schaub
He's undefeated.
bryan callen
Wasn't he a world champion, Sabo?
joe rogan
World Sabo champion.
Master of sports.
And what's interesting is when you watch it, yeah.
eddie bravo
I thought he was just a wrestler.
joe rogan
He looks like when you're watching him compete, he looks like a wrestler.
His wrestling and his positioning is outstanding.
eddie bravo
Is he leg-locking people?
joe rogan
Not really.
He's smashing people on the ground.
bryan callen
Those guys in Russia do a lot of Greco, too, though.
When you're a samuel guy, you're also doing a lot of Greco, typically.
joe rogan
His clinch is insane.
His ability to control from the top is insane.
I was going to say about Rockhold the other day.
Two fights in a row, Rockhold impressed me in a huge way with his ability to control from the top.
Against Machida and then against Weidman.
Because Machida was impressive, but I think he had Machida fucked up before they went to the ground.
brendan schaub
It was a Temple thing, Machida went to the ground.
He destroyed him.
joe rogan
I think Machida was already fucked up, but Weidman wasn't.
Weidman just caught a wheel kick in a fight where there was a real close fight, but once he got him on the ground, man, God damn it.
bryan callen
Just top game.
I think he was so much stronger, too.
Weidman was walking around at 193, apparently, and Rockhold two weeks before the fight was 216. Technique, too.
brendan schaub
His technique is nasty.
You can't just say size.
Sizing isn't going to teach you Jiu-Jitsu.
bryan callen
He's also training with, I don't know, Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez.
joe rogan
That's a huge part of it, man.
I think that's a huge part of it, because like Cormier said, when he fought Jon Jones, he didn't have Kane in his corner.
Kane was all fucked up from surgery, and he's like, it made a big impact on me.
I really felt it.
Whether or not that had anything to do with him losing to Jon Jones, you're making that face.
bryan callen
I want to see Anthony Johnson and Jon Jones fight.
joe rogan
Oh yeah, I want to see that too.
bryan callen
That's what I want to see.
joe rogan
But Cormier, I want to see him with Kane in his corner, training with him, see if that has any impact.
brendan schaub
That fight's going down, right?
joe rogan
Cain's going through surgery, apparently.
He's going to have back surgery.
bryan callen
Really?
brendan schaub
He already had it.
joe rogan
He already had it.
eddie bravo
What do you think about Holman Tate?
joe rogan
I think it's a tough fight.
That came back surgery is not an easy thing.
That's not like a small deal.
You're taking pieces of your disc.
brendan schaub
He's out for a while.
joe rogan
He had a discectomy, right?
Is that correct?
bryan callen
What does that mean?
joe rogan
That means the gel that separates your discs.
He had a piece of it removed because it was pressing into his nerve.
It's a very controversial procedure because some people feel like you don't have to do it.
Like Louie Simmons, the guy from Westside Barbell, they wanted to take him and fuse his discs.
And that's why he created that machine that I have out back, the hyper...
The back...
What the fuck's it called?
Reverse Hyper.
Reverse Hyper.
Uh-oh.
That's a big glass of wine.
bryan callen
You're not mad at that wine.
joe rogan
Are you trying to get loose, Eddie?
I hear some drums in the background.
bryan callen
My favorite Chianti right there.
joe rogan
Some tomahawks.
brendan schaub
Callum brought the fire tonight.
bryan callen
Brought the fire.
Get involved in that Chianti.
brendan schaub
So what do you do with Cain?
joe rogan
If he can't fight.
You gotta rehab that back, man.
I'm not necessarily a big fan of cutting your back right away.
I think you gotta take some time off of training and really heal that bitch up correctly.
brendan schaub
I'm pretty sure you already had surgery.
joe rogan
Well, here's my thoughts, though.
If you want to get back into it really quick, that's the way to do it.
But long-term health, I'm not entirely convinced.
Obviously, I'm not a doctor.
But I've recovered from bulging discs.
I had a bulging disc in my back that doesn't exist anymore.
I had a bulging disc in my neck.
It doesn't exist anymore.
If you look at an MRI, it looks different.
And it's from long-term rehab.
I had to take a lot of time off of rolling.
I had to do spinal...
Decompression.
I did it in an office with a chiropractor at first, and then I got some machines where you could strap them up, some mechanical shit you strapped to your door at your house.
I went through Regenikine injections.
I went through a lot of rolfing and breaking apart scar tissue that was pulling on everything, and everything was all fucked up and tightened up.
It was just like years and years of wear and tear.
But now, through that and through yoga, I don't have any of those issues anymore.
They're gone.
So...
I don't know what his, how bad his was, but I know mine was my fucking hands were numb.
You know, my left hand was going numb.
unidentified
That bad?
joe rogan
Yeah, my fingers, my two fingers, my ring finger and my pinky finger were going numb.
brendan schaub
So let me ask you this, Joe.
What do you do with the heavyweight division?
joe rogan
You have Verdum fight a guy like Roth I think what Kane should concentrate on, if I was Kane, I mean, get your body completely fucking healthy.
There's a lot of people that have like severely criticized his strength and conditioning videos that are online.
I don't know if he works with this guy anymore, but he was working with a guy that was like the strength and conditioning coach and he had him doing these- I haven't seen it.
You haven't seen this?
No.
Oh my god.
brendan schaub
Pull up- Is he doing some bullshit?
joe rogan
Oh yeah.
Pull up.
Kane does 200-pound kettlebell swings.
His form is, according to Steve Maxwell and according to a bunch of other respected kettlebell trainers, completely wrong.
brendan schaub
That's not good.
joe rogan
And this guy's got him lifting this insane weight and doing this completely wrong.
Almost like a shrug.
brendan schaub
Jesus Christ.
200 pounds?
joe rogan
Yeah, it's like 200 plus.
brendan schaub
Good way to blow your asshole out.
joe rogan
I think it's more than 200. I think it's 200 plus.
Here it is.
It's 203 pounds.
This is his training.
I'm telling you the reviews on YouTube by people that seem to know what the fuck they're talking about.
Watch this.
brendan schaub
His trainer looks like Fred Flintstone.
joe rogan
But look at this.
What he's doing.
He's doing a shrug.
That's not a swing.
brendan schaub
That's not a swing at all.
joe rogan
It's not a swing.
brendan schaub
Yeah, no wonder your back's fucked up, sir.
joe rogan
You can totally get fucked up doing this.
brendan schaub
The fuck is that?
joe rogan
It's wrong.
And the guy had him doing leg extensions.
Well, look, the guy's obviously a big fucking guy himself.
brendan schaub
That doesn't mean shit.
joe rogan
I mean, this is better than doing nothing, right?
brendan schaub
I disagree.
joe rogan
But it's not optimal.
It's not the best technique.
brendan schaub
Dude, that is the biggest kettlebell ever.
100%.
joe rogan
It's a big-ass kettlebell.
eddie bravo
That looks like one of those bouncy balls that my son has.
joe rogan
Yeah, man.
brendan schaub
Dude, all he's doing is swinging and then doing like an upright row.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, it's a shrug.
It's like he swings, he gets to where his dick is, and then he shrugs it.
brendan schaub
It's like a shitty shrug up right row.
It sure as fuck not a kettlebell swing.
joe rogan
It's not a kettlebell swing.
And it's probably not good for you.
It doesn't look right.
And Steve Maxwell was furious.
When Steve Maxwell saw it, he was almost essentially calling it malpractice.
brendan schaub
That looks horrible.
I don't have a degree in it, but that looks terrible.
I've been around the weight room my entire life.
That looks fucking terrible.
joe rogan
What you got with Kane is you got a fucking super athlete.
A guy who just do what you tell him and fucking push through everything.
And that's probably one of the reasons why he's been injured.
It's because he's pushed through some pain that maybe he should have laid off of.
I don't know.
Maybe a discectomy for him is perfect.
Maybe it's perfect.
Maybe it's a real simple thing.
Maybe it's only sticking out a little bit on one side.
If they trim it, he'll be back to training in four weeks.
I don't know.
But I know that for a lot of people, you can get real hasty and make a decision to jump into surgery and it's not the best decision.
bryan callen
Especially when there's a lot of money on the line.
joe rogan
Well, you have to fight, though.
That's the thing.
For a lot of these guys, like, they might have to fight in six months.
So you would have to get the surgery because, realistically, with six months of therapy, you might not be ready again yet.
brendan schaub
Dude, he has to fight before six months.
The heavyweight belt's on your weight six months.
joe rogan
Well, if his health is on the line, he doesn't.
eddie bravo
Flying arm triangle.
joe rogan
If his health is on the line, man, this guy's good, man.
What weight is this?
Is this heavyweight?
brendan schaub
205. This is the main card?
joe rogan
No, yeah.
Mishka Sirkunov is the Russian guy.
He's a stud, man.
brendan schaub
A couple one-two bodies on him.
joe rogan
That was pretty brutal.
bryan callen
Good hair.
Good hair on that guy.
brendan schaub
I'm just saying, Joe, if he's out six months, you're going to have to have the title.
joe rogan
But he doesn't have the title.
brendan schaub
You're going to have to do Steve Bear Rothwell.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
You would do both of them in that time that it takes him to realistically come back.
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
But he's got to, I don't know, he's got to be careful.
He's just, he's still fairly young.
I mean, I think Kane's like, what, 34?
brendan schaub
34?
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
He has a lot of experience.
You know what I'm saying?
Like it catches up.
joe rogan
But he could realistically fight at the highest level for the next three years.
brendan schaub
Not with these injuries.
joe rogan
I don't know.
It's real controversial, but in my experience talking to different doctors, there's doctors that say you should get surgery and there's doctors that say you should absolutely not get surgery until you've exhausted all the options.
brendan schaub
Either way, he still won the greatest of all time.
Heavyweights.
Easily.
joe rogan
Well, Jake Shields, they were telling him he was fucked.
What happened here?
They were telling him he couldn't fight again, he should stop training.
And he was really mad.
He's like, these fucking doctors are so negative, man.
Because first of all, they're just regular doctors, used to dealing with regular people.
A lot of them not used to dealing with elite athletes.
And guys who are willing to go through the kind of rehab that a guy like Jake Shields is willing to go through.
Like some serious fucking pain and discomfort.
But he got through it.
He's fighting now.
brendan schaub
He just backed out of his fight in the World Series.
joe rogan
Apparently it's a contract thing.
unidentified
Yep.
joe rogan
Do you know the full details?
brendan schaub
I don't.
joe rogan
Apparently what it is is it's a title fight.
So if he fights for the title because Paul Harris gets stripped.
They stripped Paul Harris after the John Fitch fight because...
They say he held it too long, right?
Was it a Fitch fight?
unidentified
Yeah.
bryan callen
I thought he...
No, no, no.
joe rogan
He got bands.
bryan callen
Gouging his eyes.
joe rogan
Yeah, stripped him after that.
But here's the thing about the eye gouge.
You either stop the fight while it's happening...
brendan schaub
Yeah, you don't let it go.
You can't see.
joe rogan
And then to strip him afterwards for eye gouges?
brendan schaub
That's weird.
joe rogan
That's super unprecedented.
bryan callen
Well, maybe they saw tape and realized he was dragging his finger through it.
He was hiding what he was doing.
brendan schaub
It was different than Travis Brown and Mitrione.
Travis Brown and Mitrione is very evident.
Replays, everyone saw it.
They're just like, ah, you're good.
Just keep on with one eye.
bryan callen
Paul Harris is a cheater.
He was cheating.
joe rogan
He was definitely sticking fingers in the eye.
That was a real issue.
bryan callen
He's a bad guy.
joe rogan
But what people got mad about was the Kimura.
He held the Kimura, but I don't think that was that bad because the referee was in the wrong place.
The referee fucked up.
The referee's tapping his back.
You're expecting him to recognize that that's the referee tapping his back in the middle of a ferocious cage fight.
The referee's supposed to be in between the two of them.
He's supposed to stop it.
If it was a normal guy...
brendan schaub
He's notoriously known for it.
bryan callen
Exactly.
He's done it so often.
joe rogan
But if it was a normal guy, like if it was you, if you had Mitrione in that same position, you hit that Kimura and you held it for that long while the referee was tapping you, I do not think you'd get the same kind of grief.
brendan schaub
I agree.
joe rogan
I think you would say, I was in the middle of the fight.
I didn't even realize the referee was tapping me.
I didn't see him.
Because the referee's in the wrong place.
The referee in that position is supposed to get in between the fighters.
He's supposed to be in front so he can look him in the eye while Pajaras has that Kimura.
He was out of place.
He was over here.
He's supposed to be over here.
eddie bravo
What about Paul Harris vs.
Gary Tonin and Polaris?
joe rogan
Goddamn, I love that.
brendan schaub
Polaris 3. Where's that taking place at?
eddie bravo
How gangster is Gary Tonin?
joe rogan
Holy shit.
brendan schaub
I hope Gary Tonin beats him.
Polaris is a jujitsu show, a jujitsu event held in England.
eddie bravo
It's kind of like Metamorris.
They have a bunch of single matches that are submission only.
And I think if there's no submission, it ends up being a draw at the end.
brendan schaub
20 minutes?
eddie bravo
It's just like Metamorris in that respect.
I think 15, 20 minutes, something like that.
And they put on great shows, great matchups.
And, man, Gary Tonin is taking on Paharis.
brendan schaub
I saw that.
eddie bravo
That is so fucking gangster.
brendan schaub
I agree.
eddie bravo
When I saw him, I was scared.
He's the only guy that's asking for Paul Harris.
Nobody wants Paul Harris.
bryan callen
This is just in jiu-jitsu, right?
eddie bravo
Nobody.
The last five guys that have fought Paul Harris, it's because they offered the fucking fight to him.
No one was going after him.
And in grappling?
joe rogan
Can you imagine if he leg locks Poharis?
What if he leg locks Poharis?
It's highly possible that he's going to leg lock Poharis.
bryan callen
But it gives you an idea how good Jake Shields was because he was beating Poharis up on the ground.
He was controlling his body completely.
joe rogan
Oh, Jake Shields is very good.
bryan callen
He's unbelievable.
eddie bravo
Jake Shields is one of the best.
brendan schaub
Gary Tonin, though?
When we saw him at your event, I can't remember the last time I saw something like that.
He was eating these dudes up.
joe rogan
Well, that leg lock game, that John Donaher leg lock game is very high level, man.
Him and Eddie, Eddie Cummins, both those guys are fucking wizards, man.
And Donaher apparently is a wizard, too.
I've never seen Donaher roll, but everybody says he's so goddamn stupid.
Smart.
eddie bravo
It all started with Dean Lister.
Dean Lister went to Henzo's in late 90s, 2000, 2001, and Dean Lister came into the jiu-jitsu world already as a Sambo guy.
So he was always the guy, even as a white belt, as a blue belt in Southern California.
Dean, we grew up together in the jiu-jitsu world.
He was always that leg lock dude.
That Sambo guy who got into jiu-jitsu.
brendan schaub
So that dude, Dean Lister, goes on to win Abu Dhabi, absolute leg-locking fucking everybody.
eddie bravo
That knee bar that he hits Salo Ribeiro with, holy shit, in 2003, watch that shit.
The knee bar he hits Salo Ribeiro.
Salo Ribeiro is like one of the best ever, one of the greatest jiu-jitsu players ever.
And that knee bar that he got him with was insane.
brendan schaub
Gary Tonin, I don't know what the current rankings are, but is he number one?
In person, he might be the best I've ever seen.
eddie bravo
There's no real official rankings.
brendan schaub
I've never seen anything like it.
eddie bravo
There's a point game, and then there's a submission-only game.
But let me finish really quick.
So that guy, Dean Lister, he goes to Henzo's, and Danaher's there.
Danaher's Henzo's little prodigy.
And he leaves an impression with Danaher.
I'm sure he left a couple...
Oh, man, he's out.
brendan schaub
Ooh, he fucked his jaw up.
eddie bravo
And then Danaher took what he learned from Dean Lister, and he just blew that shit up, and Danaher's like a scientist.
I think he's a physicist or something.
brendan schaub
Danaher's a rock underarm shirt or jeans.
bryan callen
He has his PhD in philosophy.
eddie bravo
Something like that.
bryan callen
He has his PhD in philosophy, and Henso used to give him...
Henso back...
This is literally, I don't know, about 2003 or whatever.
Henso, when somebody would come in to kind of challenge, and somebody was really good, he would kind of casually give...
John, he'd say, roll with John for a while and see how you do first.
And John would just, you'd watch him tap these dudes, like these really good Sambo guys or whoever they were, and he'd just, like he was moving in slow motion.
brendan schaub
He's a minimalist, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, he's just really smart, man.
He was a bodybuilder or a powerlifter type physique at one point in time.
And then he was working as a bouncer and he wanted to learn martial arts to deal with in bouncing situations.
He realized, I should probably have some skills.
brendan schaub
That's insane.
I had no idea.
joe rogan
He doesn't look like it now, but he's still obviously very strong.
If you look at him, he's thick and fit, but apparently he used to be really big.
brendan schaub
Damn, I saw my UFC event.
He was at the bar afterwards, and he had on a fucking rash guard and some jeans tucked in.
He wore a rash guard.
No fucks given either.
bryan callen
He does it all the time.
joe rogan
That's for his wedding.
eddie bravo
That's his thing.
He wears rash guards everywhere.
unidentified
He did?
eddie bravo
Yeah.
unidentified
So gangster.
bryan callen
I always see him every time.
He was in Whole Foods in New York.
eddie bravo
Look who he's created.
Eddie Cummings, Gary Tonin.
Because Gary Tonin went to Henzo's to train with Danner.
And he didn't have any leg locks.
He was all rear naked choke.
He had his basic.
He was already a black belt.
He went to Danner.
That's when he started learning the leg locks from him.
And through Eddie Cummings.
Him and Eddie Cummings just became best friends and training partners.
brendan schaub
I was so impressed with Gary Tonin, man.
bryan callen
I took privates from John Danner.
joe rogan
Did you?
bryan callen
Yes.
Like, probably five, six.
eddie bravo
And now they got this new guy, Gordon Ryan, who just got his black belt.
He's fucking amazing as well.
That's the new guy.
You're gonna hear about Gordon Ryan.
brendan schaub
He's got monsters at Henzo's, huh?
eddie bravo
Yes.
joe rogan
You know who's another leg lock master that people forget?
Dave Terrell.
You remember Dave Terrell versus Ricardo Almeida in 2003 in Abu Dhabi?
eddie bravo
I don't remember that.
joe rogan
Dude, Dave Terrell had some nasty ass fucking leg locks.
Dave Terrell was so explosive.
brendan schaub
I've heard legendary stories about him in the training room.
joe rogan
He's the best ever.
Seeing him compete, watching him in Abu Dhabi, I always expected he was going to be UFC champion because he went into MMA and started smashing people.
He knocked out Matt Lindland in the first round.
But Evan Tanner got him.
And he also had a series of catastrophic ear injuries.
He had to have his ear removed from his head.
He had staff inside his head.
From his ear.
His ears were just gonzo, right?
They were like these just fucking ashtrays on his head, hard as a rock, just all cauliflowered up.
But apparently, like, just years and years of hard training, he got an infection inside his ear.
bryan callen
And they had to take it off his body.
joe rogan
They had to take his whole fucking ear off his head, clean it all out, like, try to fuse it and swab it and cauterize it to get it to stop oozing pus.
bryan callen
You know you trannel out when your ear falls off.
joe rogan
Didn't work.
They had to do it again.
He went through like...
When your ear is fucked, have you ever had an earache or a real bad ear function?
Your equilibrium's off.
You can't do shit.
brendan schaub
He's like a mythical creature in NorCal.
I have so many crazy stories about that guy.
joe rogan
I saw him compete.
I was like, that fucking guy moves like a ghost.
He's fast as fuck.
eddie bravo
And his students, one of them, Joe Soto, they're so good at leg lock defense.
Joe Soto, generally when you game plan against Eddie Cummings, the game plan is stay away from any kind of footsie battles.
You don't want to battle with Eddie.
That's the game plan.
Avoid it.
Try to do the super basic jujitsu strategy like what I think it was Lucas Dupree in Abu Dhabi did to Gary Tonin.
It was either Lucas Dupree or Leandro Lowe.
I get those guys mixed up all the time.
But one of those guys in Abu Dhabi went against Gary Tonin and he just straight knee slice, boom, stayed tight, stayed in side control, top half.
Titan never let Gary get anywhere near his legs.
You know, that's the game plan against a leg lock guy like Eddie Cummings.
unidentified
That's it.
eddie bravo
You try to play footsies with him, you're retarded.
brendan schaub
But Joe Soto, he went in there in the finals at EBI 3. He went in there and just said, he sat on his ass and said, I'm going to play footsies with Eddie Cummings.
eddie bravo
And it worked for a long time.
Everybody was just blown away.
It's like, how the fuck is he leaving his legs out there for, you know, Eddie Cummins, Grafter's legs, and Joe Soto just displayed just this incredible defense, his leg lock defense.
I was reffing going, what the fuck?
Is he really playing footsies with Eddie Cummins?
He ended up getting caught.
Eddie Cummins did catch him, but...
He showed tremendous fucking savagery for going in there and playing legs with him.
And I talked to him afterwards and he said, dude, I roll with Dave Terrell all the goddamn time.
That guy's always after our legs.
Are you kidding me?
We're used to this shit.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's kill or be killed if you're in a leg lock type academy.
brendan schaub
Speaking of submissions.
joe rogan
But Cummings knees all fucked up now.
brendan schaub
How about your boy Barnett and Rothwell?
joe rogan
Insane.
brendan schaub
Who the fuck called that?
joe rogan
Insane.
Insane.
unidentified
Huh?
joe rogan
Insane.
Apparently when Rothwell gets a hold of your neck, he just knows how to squeeze that choke.
bryan callen
Well, he was showing me what he got him in.
Ugh, that's horrible.
brendan schaub
I don't know how his hands are, though.
I don't know how he's gripping his hands.
joe rogan
I don't know how it is either.
It's a ten-finger guillotine, essentially, but his jiu-jitsu coach wanted to call it a go-go choke.
bryan callen
Horrifying.
joe rogan
Because it goes against your throat, sort of like a go-go plata.
brendan schaub
There's no one hotter in the UFC division, heavyweight division right now, than Rothwell's the beast.
joe rogan
He's the beast.
brendan schaub
Good luck beating that guy right now with that confidence.
joe rogan
Stipe's the beast too, though.
It's real close.
After Stipe destroyed Orlovsky like that, Stipe's right in there, man.
brendan schaub
We'll face Mickey Gall later this year.
joe rogan
Yeah, Mickey Gall apparently won earlier tonight.
Yeah, he did.
I was hearing a lot of criticisms about the fight.
brendan schaub
They had a face-off.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
CM Punk walked in.
He was the first prelim ever to have a face-off.
joe rogan
I just feel like...
I don't know why he would want to do that.
I feel like if he was smart, he would just start fighting in small organizations.
I get that you want to get a lot of money because the UFC is where it's at with money.
But I would think the smart move is what he's already done training-wise.
Go to a real camp.
He goes to Rufus.
Perfect.
Rufus is going to teach him how to strike as good as anybody in the world.
And then you got real good wrestling with Ben Askren.
You got real good jiu-jitsu.
You got everything there.
brendan schaub
Everything.
joe rogan
Everything there.
brendan schaub
He's fine.
I heard they offered him to go through the Tough show.
And he's like, nah, man, I'm trying to go right to the show.
So I think Tough would have been better for him.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
You get ratings.
We see how he does.
He gets warm-up.
And then, you know, then he goes.
But for your first fight to be in that octagon, good fucking luck, man.
bryan callen
Who's Mickey Gauzy Tough?
joe rogan
Well, he's a newcomer.
They found him on that looking for a fight show on HBO on YouTube in a small organization.
What are you looking for, Eddie?
brendan schaub
He's a brown belt.
bryan callen
Brown belt's significant.
brendan schaub
Is he a brown belt?
That's what I read earlier today after he won.
I didn't see him fight.
He won by submission.
They said he was a brown belt.
I heard blue and purple.
The UFC said brown belt, so I don't know.
joe rogan
Well, he might have got his brown right before the fight.
brendan schaub
Either way, that's three more belts ahead of CM Punk.
That shit goes to the ground.
joe rogan
Yes.
brendan schaub
That's a big difference.
joe rogan
Who knows what CM Punk's been able to do.
He's been training for over a year.
brendan schaub
Dude, can you imagine if CM Punk goes in and just gets murked?
It'd be like from the Waterboy when Michigan put in the Waterboy, the actual Waterboy.
joe rogan
He certainly could, right?
He could totally get murked.
Who knows if this kid can strike?
If he can strike, if the kid has good jiu-jitsu and he can strike, good luck learning how to strike in a year.
unidentified
Jesus.
joe rogan
If a guy doesn't have any striking under him, can you imagine?
Or wrestling or jiu-jitsu?
Some dude who's got some serious knockout power and you're going to practice for a year.
That's ridiculous.
brendan schaub
Dude, I like CM Punk as a person, but for the sport, I think it's best if he gets murked.
Is that fucked up?
And that's going to make headlines?
joe rogan
I'm happy when anybody says it gets murked.
brendan schaub
Me too.
I like when you go, get starched.
eddie bravo
I forget.
brendan schaub
Is there anything worse?
You and I are arguing about Rumble and Jon Jones.
You never know, man.
Rumble could starch him.
And when he said starch, I was like, oh.
joe rogan
He could.
brendan schaub
He could.
joe rogan
Rumble could starch anybody.
brendan schaub
Anybody in the world.
joe rogan
Rumble can hit you on the temple and your shit could just go boing, boing, boing.
brendan schaub
I think Jon mobs the floor.
bryan callen
He has the biggest head, the longest steepie I've ever seen on Rumble.
joe rogan
He could.
bryan callen
Rumble's head is gigantic.
joe rogan
It's a big fucking head.
eddie bravo
If he connects against Jon Jones, it's...
brendan schaub
I don't think he will, though.
I think Jon takes him down, wears him out, and takes his heart.
joe rogan
People forget that Stipe got stopped by Skyscraper.
Stefan Struve, back in the day.
brendan schaub
Knocked him out.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Did an inside leg kick, boom!
Knocked him out.
joe rogan
Stefan Struve, man, he's had some real tough fights.
There's a guy who's had some real tough fights.
He's had some, like, brutal knockout losses.
brendan schaub
Horrible losses.
And he's seven foot tall.
joe rogan
For sure played basketball.
Back in the day, the kid had some mad potential, and still does.
bryan callen
He's only 26, 27, right?
brendan schaub
He has so many fights, though, man.
His age is not what I count.
I count he has, what, 40 fights, some shit?
joe rogan
Yeah, he's had some ruthless knockouts inside the Oxagon.
brendan schaub
And when's the last time you saw a seven-foot-tall grandpa?
Anyone.
Go.
They don't live long.
bryan callen
Anybody?
brendan schaub
Anybody?
joe rogan
No, they don't.
bryan callen
Although we still have one giant guy.
unidentified
And he has heart conditions.
joe rogan
No.
Yeah, they all have heart conditions.
They're just too big.
I wonder if they can mitigate that today.
I wonder if they understand what it is.
brendan schaub
Nah, you're dying You're pretty tall You're tall Hey bro, you're tall Eddie and I are nowhere near something for you You both are going to be 100 I'm on the back nine for sure Well, you know what, though?
joe rogan
Honestly, do you really want to live past 80?
bryan callen
Fucking right, I do.
joe rogan
What kind of dog shit, arthritis-ridden existence is that?
brendan schaub
Oh, my brain will be open.
joe rogan
Former athlete past 80?
Oh, good lord.
You're fucked.
Think about that.
I said, 40 years from now, who the fuck knows what kind of crazy medicine you're going to have?
eddie bravo
Yeah, my son goes, Daddy, what's going to happen when I'm 45?
unidentified
And he asked me that for real, and I said, shit.
bryan callen
You'll be a computer.
eddie bravo
I'm probably going to be dead.
That's what I said.
brendan schaub
I just don't want to be dead when you come out with this technology.
eddie bravo
I thought about that.
He's going to be 45. Look at that, son.
brendan schaub
April 23rd.
Sorry, I just got to call this out.
bryan callen
April 23rd.
unidentified
I'm GM. John Johns has been lifting weights.
brendan schaub
Hey, I love how John's lifting weights.
Everyone's like, nah, he's a good guy now.
Everything's all good.
Why?
Because he posts pictures lifting weights?
He's a fucking monster now.
joe rogan
Damn.
bryan callen
John Johns is ridiculous.
brendan schaub
Good luck beating him.
eddie bravo
Yeah.
brendan schaub
And I don't think Rumble's going to wait for a title shot.
He said he's not.
joe rogan
I wouldn't wait to eat if I was Rumble.
brendan schaub
I would.
joe rogan
Get some quick work in.
eddie bravo
And if he got busted with coke again...
brendan schaub
Dude, Ryan Bader, I love the guy where he said, oh shit, that ain't snowflake.
That motherfucker came right in, shot a low single, and just stayed on it.
joe rogan
And also...
Hanging on to a Kimura.
eddie bravo
Damn, look at this.
joe rogan
Against a big guy, Cejudo.
eddie bravo
Oh, shit.
joe rogan
Johnson versus Cejudo.
eddie bravo
Oh, that's happening.
joe rogan
That's the co-main event.
eddie bravo
This is the first time hearing of this.
bryan callen
Is that the Olympic wrestler?
joe rogan
Well, yeah.
bryan callen
The gold medalist, right?
eddie bravo
Yeah.
joe rogan
The gold medalist.
brendan schaub
He said, those guys are super small.
eddie bravo
He's a fucking beast.
bryan callen
I was like, I was going, ooh.
unidentified
125. Oh, that's right, 125. That's the girls division.
bryan callen
Those guys are quick!
That's what I say.
joe rogan
What were we talking about?
bryan callen
This guy's a scramble.
joe rogan
What were we talking about?
bryan callen
They can hustle.
brendan schaub
They can hustle.
unidentified
They better be.
joe rogan
What were we just talking about?
unidentified
Cormier.
brendan schaub
Cormier, Rumble.
bryan callen
And John Jones.
joe rogan
Oh, quick work.
Ryan Bader.
unidentified
Oh, fuck.
joe rogan
Him trying to finish that Kimura.
That's a hard move to pull off on a strong dude as it is.
Right?
A guy as strong as Rumble who's on top and you don't even have half guard.
brendan schaub
He panicked, I think.
Because he had no control of his legs.
joe rogan
When he was holding onto it, he had to do something with his legs.
He just didn't have the dexterity to get into a position like a half guard or something and then get up to the dogfight, right?
brendan schaub
Rumble said, what the fuck is this?
joe rogan
He got empty half at one point, right?
brendan schaub
He climbed up the full mount.
joe rogan
Well, the problem is he's so fucking strong.
eddie bravo
Explosive, too.
joe rogan
And in the beginning of the round, he's 100%.
He's not even remotely tired.
brendan schaub
I jumped a guard on his ass.
joe rogan
And he's on your back.
Or he's got you on your back.
He's on top of you.
And you know one of those punches is going to change your life.
One punch.
Just one.
eddie bravo
You gotta be really good on your back.
That's all that is.
You gotta be really fucking nervous.
brendan schaub
Or you take him down.
eddie bravo
It looked grim.
brendan schaub
Like Jon Jones is going down.
eddie bravo
It looked grim right there.
He couldn't take him down.
bryan callen
He tried to take an ankle pick.
brendan schaub
No, I'm saying Jon Jones is gonna take Rumble down.
joe rogan
Maybe.
brendan schaub
I promise you he's gonna inside trip him, take him down.
joe rogan
He might.
brendan schaub
He's gonna break him and then TKO him.
joe rogan
He might.
He might not.
eddie bravo
Man, you're so confident.
joe rogan
Yeah, how could you say that?
eddie bravo
You're so confident.
joe rogan
Who the fuck knows what's going to happen?
eddie bravo
Damn.
brendan schaub
That's what I think's going to happen.
joe rogan
Rumble is getting better and better, and now that he's training with Neil Melanson, he's getting his grappling in order.
brendan schaub
I hear you, Joe.
Yeah, I agree.
He's a monster.
unidentified
He's a monster.
bryan callen
Johnson, was Johnson a Juco champion?
joe rogan
He's going to get hypnotized.
brendan schaub
He might.
eddie bravo
You thought about it.
joe rogan
He was the champion.
brendan schaub
He might.
He has the skills to starch anyone, in the words of Joe Rogan, but...
joe rogan
Yeah, he's got the skills to stiffen them all up.
It's whether or not he can apply it against the very best of the best.
But he's at this edge.
Like, I don't think he's done improving.
So he's at this edge right now where only a guy like Cormier can beat him.
Because everybody else, Jimmy Manoa, everybody gets the fuck beat out of him.
Gustafson gets the fuck beat out of him.
brendan schaub
I disagree!
They fight?
I think it's 5-5.
That's a good fight.
unidentified
Gustafson?
bryan callen
Gustafson got headbutted.
brendan schaub
Gustafson and Rumble Johnson's a good fight, matchup-wise.
bryan callen
Gustafson got headbutted, actually.
joe rogan
They had one fight, and he...
brendan schaub
He got starched.
joe rogan
Yeah, he smashed him.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I know.
I'm saying that doesn't happen every time.
joe rogan
I don't know, man.
I don't know what happens every time.
You've got a good point.
eddie bravo
What makes you think that that wouldn't happen again?
joe rogan
No one knows.
It might not happen every time, but with the data that we have currently available...
Scary guy who knocks everybody dead.
He knocked him dead.
And so you gotta think, okay, first of all, the kind of beating that Gustafson took in that fight, you don't want to take again.
brendan schaub
I agree.
joe rogan
That was a bad beating.
brendan schaub
How about the data with DC Anthony Johnson?
Brace, he broke him.
joe rogan
He definitely broke him.
brendan schaub
So when I see a guy break, now I look at Jon Jones, who's broken everybody, including DC, broke DC. Let's not get it twisted.
eddie bravo
That's a good point.
brendan schaub
Let's look at the data we have here.
eddie bravo
Yes, we're assuming.
bryan callen
According to the data.
joe rogan
Right, but we're not talking about him.
We're talking about Gustafsson.
I know.
bryan callen
Jamie, pull up that headbutt though.
joe rogan
Yeah, but that was a monster fucking fight.
It definitely looks like they collided.
eddie bravo
And everybody can get broken.
Everybody can get broken.
There's always going to be a guy that's going to break you.
There's always going to be multiple guys that can break you.
brendan schaub
No, the great ones don't get broke.
joe rogan
Because they don't fight anybody that much better than them.
Because they're great.
bryan callen
Vince Lombardi said, fatigue makes cowards of us all.
It does.
eddie bravo
For sure.
brendan schaub
Look how fatigued John was against Gustvin.
bryan callen
Of men, right?
joe rogan
Yeah.
I've thought of that all the time.
Yeah, it makes me a pussy.
When you're tired, I turn into such a pussy.
brendan schaub
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Cardio.
eddie bravo
Cardio, shit.
Are you kidding?
joe rogan
But you know what, man?
I've been getting into this straight cardio over the last few months.
I've been doing these hardcore cardio workouts just because I hate them.
brendan schaub
What are you talking about?
What kind of cardio?
joe rogan
These ridiculous sprints.
Not like a Tabata protocol, but I do a 30-second on, 30-second off on an elliptical machine.
I adjust it from 16, which is pretty hard, pretty stiff, to 20, which is like you're wrestling this fucking thing.
And I'll do these death sprints.
eddie bravo
30 and 30?
That's good.
brendan schaub
For how many, though?
You have 30 on, 30 off?
joe rogan
It depends on what I'm trying to do.
But I do a 45-minute workout.
And what I'm doing, the 45-minute workout, the first 15 minutes, I'm just getting everything ramped up.
So the first 15 minutes, there's no sprints.
The first 15 minutes, just keeping it on 16 and going at a very fast pace.
Then once I get to the first 15 minutes and I'm sweating, then it's death runs.
I go on these 30-second death runs.
For a whole 30 minutes.
Depending upon how long I can last, how many death runs I can do.
Because sometimes I can't do the death runs.
I just have to just pace myself at 16. But then when I feel like I've got my heart rate down, because my elliptical thing has got a little heart rate thing.
brendan schaub
What kind of elliptical do you have that can take this fucking beast of a workout?
joe rogan
Well, they all can.
Everybody uses elliptical machines.
They just kind of go steady.
But if you go on a death run, you gotta go on a save your life, save your loved one, save your mom from fucking- Who makes you do that, though?
I do it.
I just do it.
eddie bravo
No, but I mean like- Who makes you?
Like when you sprint.
unidentified
When you sprint.
bryan callen
My inner insecurity of being weak.
eddie bravo
Can't you think you're sprinting, but you're like, during the sprint time, you're like, you know what?
joe rogan
No, man, I'm fucking sprinting.
eddie bravo
I'm going as fast as I can, whatever.
joe rogan
No, there's a number.
There's a number of revolutions per minute.
And I want to keep it above a certain number.
I don't remember what it is at 180 or at 20. But it's somewhere where you want your heart rate to be somewhere around 180. And I forget what the revolutions are because they're different on the one that I use at the gym versus the one that I use at home.
But you can have a number where you can keep it at that number.
So it's like 147, I think.
So when you hit 147, you just got to fucking keep it there for that 30 seconds.
And it's big, deep Wim Hof breaths the whole time.
unidentified
It's just...
joe rogan
And just wrestle this thing for 30 seconds.
bryan callen
You know what's a nightmare?
joe rogan
And then relax.
bryan callen
Yeah.
You know what's a nightmare is setting just a little something.
Set the treadmill at 15 incline and put it at 4 miles an hour and walk.
Walk for 15 minutes.
Try to stay on that pace.
eddie bravo
It's hard.
joe rogan
It's hard.
bryan callen
It'll kill you.
eddie bravo
Have I talked about the cardio I did for metamorphosis?
joe rogan
Yeah, the sprinting in the pool.
Yeah.
It's awesome.
Yeah, but death runs.
Death runs and recovery.
That's what it's all about.
eddie bravo
The thing about the pool thing, though, is the way I did it was there's a giant clock, and every time it hits 12, you sprint across the pool.
So when you get to the end of the pool, whatever's left in that minute, you get to rest.
So when you're doing that, No one has to tell you bust ass.
You're busting ass to rest.
Because you know after...
The first maybe six laps are easy.
brendan schaub
As soon as the clock hits 12, you bust ass across the pool.
eddie bravo
You sprint.
You get past and it's like you got 35 seconds to rest.
And then you rest and you do it back.
As soon as it hits the 12, boom.
After like 12, you're dead in the pool.
And no matter how chaotic your breathing is, you got...
No matter how tired you are you got to keep your breathing on point because to swim your shit so you got you're like dying But at the same time there's something in your mind that you're on dude Survival mode you're dying, but your breathing's got to be perfect that you're gonna swallow water You're gonna swallow water and you that to me was super fucking crucial.
joe rogan
It's great for grappling.
Yeah, exactly wrestling with no matter what and You're breathing.
eddie bravo
No matter how chaotic your situation is, you practice breathing in chaotic situations.
Because if you hiccup at all, you swallow water.
joe rogan
This is a good fight.
Zach Makovsky and Joseph Benavidez.
This is a very good fight.
I've been looking forward to this.
brendan schaub
Benavidez gets another title shot, you think?
joe rogan
Maybe.
He's down at Muscle Farm, and he's training with Bang again.
Doing all his training with Bang.
I don't know what's going on with those guys in Sacramento.
What's happening?
How often they're going to...
brendan schaub
Him and Lance Palmer have been bouncing all over.
I don't mean to cut you off, Joe.
Him and Lance Palmer have been bouncing all over.
They went to Jackson's.
They went to Muscle Farm.
At Muscle Farm, they've got a hell of a team down there.
TJ, Lance Palmer, Benavidez, Neil Magny, Thatch.
joe rogan
Well, Benavidez has got to do what he's got to do.
I mean, he doesn't have many years left.
I think he's in his 30s as well.
I think he's 34. But at 125, well, what if he loses to McCoskey tonight?
brendan schaub
He beats this guy, I bet.
joe rogan
Maybe.
McCoskey just took him down.
brendan schaub
I agree.
Let's say he fights DJ for a third time and he loses.
Hey, man, we can't do four.
I'm sorry, we can't do four.
We've got to move on.
joe rogan
Well, what does he do then?
That's a real question.
eddie bravo
Open the gym.
joe rogan
Did you see fucking Justin Scoggins today?
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
eddie bravo
Hell yeah.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
He looks fantastic.
eddie bravo
Justin fucking Scoggins.
Holy shit.
joe rogan
Holy shit.
eddie bravo
Goddamn.
joe rogan
Dude.
eddie bravo
Yes.
joe rogan
That karate style?
eddie bravo
I didn't know shit about him, dude.
I'm not like you guys.
I'm not like an encyclopedia right now.
There's too many UFCs.
I can barely keep up.
I didn't know who the fuck he was, but I saw him for the first time today, the prelim.
unidentified
Oh, man.
eddie bravo
And I was thinking, holy shit.
joe rogan
Against Ray Borg.
brendan schaub
Ray Borg's a motherfucker.
Shit.
eddie bravo
Before the fight started, they had mentioned, because Scroggins thinks he has the best movement in MMA. And I'm like, oh my motherfucking God, how retarded can this guy be?
unidentified
The best movement in MMA? You fucking retard!
And then after one round, I'm like, okay, he might have a point here.
brendan schaub
Let me see another round!
eddie bravo
Can you keep the pace?
And then he looked really good on the ground.
His ground looked decent.
His wrestling was good.
And his striking was just like coming from all sorts.
He's fighting left-handed.
He's fighting right-handed.
He's throwing every kick and spinning everything.
Like, holy shit!
joe rogan
He's one of the best guys at standing in that sideways karate-style stance and using the front leg, too.
Front leg sidekicks your thigh.
Front leg sidekicks your body.
brendan schaub
Super talented.
eddie bravo
I don't know if Brian Stan was correct or not, but he was talking about how...
And I don't know, like I said, I don't know anything about Scroggins, but Brian Stan was saying that when he fights...
Southpaw, he fights more karate, and when he fights orthodox, he's fighting more Muay Thai or something like that.
When he's fighting right hand, this style.
When he's fighting left hand, this style.
Like, holy shit, how cool is that?
unidentified
That's a great style, but he changes it up.
eddie bravo
Like, right here, I feel good Muay Thai.
Right here, I'm a karate guy.
joe rogan
Well, you know why?
Like, holy fuck!
eddie bravo
That's amazing!
joe rogan
Because his sideways stance allows him to use that front leg.
So if you're fighting a guy that doesn't know, like, that style, he can get away with a lot of shit.
Like, if you're used to a guy who's fighting Muay Thai style with that light front leg and more of a closed-off stance, You can get away with that with a Muay Thai guy, but with a karate guy, he'll stand sideways.
He'll stand sideways and throw those fucking front leg sidekicks, and you don't know what to do.
He throws them from way outside.
A lot of these Muay Thai style guys, they're standing right in front of each other.
brendan schaub
That's the thing.
Forward backwards, north-south.
joe rogan
He's all over the place.
brendan schaub
It's tough to train for, man.
eddie bravo
I've never heard of anybody describe a fighter like that.
Have you ever heard of that before?
joe rogan
I think Scoggins probably told him that.
He probably had a conversation with him about the different ways he utilizes it.
unidentified
But have you heard that before?
eddie bravo
I've never heard that before.
joe rogan
But it makes sense if you see how good he is.
eddie bravo
There's a lot of guys that switch, but they switch, they're playing the same shit.
brendan schaub
This guy has two different characters.
eddie bravo
Like, holy shit!
joe rogan
Well, you know who else is super versatile at being able to switch back and forth?
Connor.
Connor's a wizard.
I was going to say, former Strikeforce champion, just fought, welterweight, goddammit.
Yes, Tarek Safferdeen.
Tarek Safferdeen is a wizard at going back and forth.
eddie bravo
Karate stage is so good.
bryan callen
Is he a Dutch kickboxer?
What is he?
joe rogan
No, not Dutch.
He is from...
bryan callen
Germany.
He's a German kickboxer.
joe rogan
No, not from Germany.
bryan callen
He's Turkish.
Turk, I think, is Turkish, right, Stephanie?
joe rogan
No, no.
I want to say Belgium.
brendan schaub
Yes, he's from Brussels.
unidentified
Yeah, it's Belgium.
brendan schaub
That's correct.
joe rogan
He's from Brussels.
He's from where Van Damme is.
Muscles from muscles.
bryan callen
Well, there you go.
brendan schaub
I fucking love me some Van Damme.
bryan callen
And there you go.
brendan schaub
I love me Van Damme.
He's the reason I fought, man.
joe rogan
I want to meet him.
bryan callen
I've seen him a couple times.
joe rogan
That Van Damme movie was brilliant.
bryan callen
I've seen him a couple times in Venice.
joe rogan
Have you seen that movie?
bryan callen
And he's got tight jeans on always.
A beautiful butt.
And a fanny pack.
brendan schaub
And a fanny pack, son.
bryan callen
A bubble butt with a fanny pack.
joe rogan
Back in the day, he wore a fanny pack.
brendan schaub
No, he still has one.
joe rogan
He still rocks one?
brendan schaub
He lives in Marina del Rey.
I live in Marina del Rey.
I see him all the time driving.
eddie bravo
Now you like him.
brendan schaub
I don't want to super fake him.
eddie bravo
Now you're sending good shit about him.
joe rogan
I said before, I want to meet him.
eddie bravo
He's all over him now.
joe rogan
I said before, I want to meet him.
bryan callen
He's a dime piece.
brendan schaub
We should have him on a companion.
eddie bravo
We should have him on a companion.
bryan callen
He's a great guy.
I only wear silk underwear.
joe rogan
He lives near here?
brendan schaub
Marina Del Rey.
eddie bravo
Jean-Claude Van Damme on this show would be fucking amazing.
joe rogan
When I come back, when I decide to make my comeback against the Thai world champion.
He's been talking about making a comeback for like 10 years.
bryan callen
Did he actually fight?
joe rogan
No.
Listen to me.
bryan callen
He was a dancer.
joe rogan
If you want to see something that is amazing that no one talks about, you need to watch the Jean-Claude Van Damme reality show.
brendan schaub
Oh, I watch it.
joe rogan
It is fucking wonderful.
bryan callen
I've never seen it.
brendan schaub
You talking about JBCD? It's so crazy.
unidentified
The movie was great.
joe rogan
No, no, no, no, no.
I've never seen that.
brendan schaub
It's a reality show.
joe rogan
The reality show is insanity in motion.
brendan schaub
I love that you've seen this.
bryan callen

I'm like, come watch how crazy people can be.
unidentified

Well, I think it aired in another country.

Showtime picked it up.
joe rogan
It might have aired.
brendan schaub
Showtime picked it up.
bryan callen
That's awesome.
eddie bravo

joe rogan
Ridiculous.

We're never fighting.
joe rogan
Don't touch my face!
bryan callen
Don't touch my face!
joe rogan
And he pretends he's gonna fight this guy and they fucking knuckle up.
They have these press conferences.
He goes, I've got to fight for the children.
brendan schaub
He's batshit crazy.
joe rogan
He does this speech about having to fight for the children.
I'm done with the cocaine.
I'm done with this.
I'm done with the party.
That motherfucker needs better friends.
unidentified
He's incredible.
bryan callen
What he does is he gets gacked.
joe rogan
He gets gacked to the gills on coke, and he goes to parties with Russian oligarchs.
Is that true?
They fly him out to Chechnya, he goes to a fucking disco with a fucking champagne bottle in both hands, and he wakes up in the morning and he feels bad.
He feels bad that the children have done this to the children.
I'm going to fight to show them.
brendan schaub
I still have it.
You gotta watch it.
bryan callen
Dude, I gotta watch it.
eddie bravo
JC may be on the show.
bryan callen
He's bad shit crazy.
eddie bravo
That's never gonna happen now.
brendan schaub
He's bad shit crazy.
unidentified
No!
joe rogan
He will have it.
unidentified
He still loves me.
brendan schaub
Hey, how's he flying private?
How's he flying private everywhere?
joe rogan
He's a bad motherfucker.
bryan callen
He's got money and everybody made it.
joe rogan
He made a lot of movies, dude.
bryan callen
A lot of money.
eddie bravo
That last movie was great.
bryan callen
He made a lot of money.
joe rogan
Yeah, but that last movie probably made eight dollars.
brendan schaub
He paid $70 for that last movie.
joe rogan
All those other movies that he made his whole life, if he was just reasonably frugal, he has hundreds of millions of dollars.
bryan callen
He's got a lot of money.
brendan schaub
Really?
joe rogan
Oh my god.
bryan callen
A lot of money.
joe rogan
How much money did he make over his career?
eddie bravo
Time Cop, baby.
That was Blockbuster.
brendan schaub
How dare you?
joe rogan
Time Cop.
eddie bravo
I remember when it was a Blockbuster.
I went to go see it on that Friday night and we had to get the early blood sport.
joe rogan
Here's something you have to consider.
bryan callen
He's Elvis in Eastern Europe.
joe rogan
Here's something you have to consider.
Ownership of the movies.
Sales of the movies.
He existed back in the day where people bought DVDs.
Oh shit, this is a good fight.
Makovsky on top.
He existed back in the day of Blockbuster.
Back in the day where people would buy movies.
So you get a percentage You get a percentage of that?
unidentified
You get a percentage of that.
joe rogan
You get a percentage of it when they sell it to Showtime, HBO, Cinemax, TVS, all that shit.
He got a percentage of all that.
I guarantee you.
He was producing, he was a part of the ownership of those films.
He might have made an ungodly amount of money.
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Brian, could you beat up John Carlson?
joe rogan
How much did he make?
unidentified
Jamie.
bryan callen
I don't think anybody can beat up John Carlson.
joe rogan
Hold on, Jamie.
Jamie.
jamie vernon
I'm seeing a lot of information online, but something I just found said he is the...
Top 10 highest paid actors for 2016 with an estimated $82 million in combined earnings.
unidentified
Fuck off!
joe rogan
But let's look at his overall earnings.
That's what I'm asking.
unidentified
He's still making money?
brendan schaub
He made $82 million last year?
joe rogan
Dude, I'm telling you.
eddie bravo
No wonder he's doing coke.
bryan callen
Sales.
joe rogan
$245 million.
unidentified
$245 million.
bryan callen
Come on.
$1 million.
brendan schaub
I'm telling you.
eddie bravo
If you gave me $100 million, I'd do a little coke every now and then.
bryan callen
He still looks good.
He still looks good.
brendan schaub
I saw him flying private.
I was like, oh, he's being stupid with his money.
unidentified
No, he's fine.
brendan schaub
No, he's balling.
joe rogan
No, he's fine.
brendan schaub
Dude, he's Scrooge McDuck Rich.
joe rogan
He owns a football team and vodka.
And perfume.
bryan callen
He does?
joe rogan
Yes.
bryan callen
A lot of money in football.
eddie bravo
No wonder he's still fighting!
bryan callen
Jean-Claude Van Damme!
joe rogan
I got two million dollars!
unidentified
Vive!
bryan callen
Vive Jean-Claude Van Damme!
joe rogan
You bitches need to stay in your lane.
unidentified
I love that guy.
brendan schaub
He's my hero.
eddie bravo
He's got so much money he could pay the guy to fight where they can choreograph.
He's paying them to show up and choreograph the fight.
joe rogan
They don't choreograph a fight, but they choreograph press conferences.
brendan schaub
He would fuck up everyone in this room.
joe rogan
I think maybe he's thought about actually fighting about three or four times, but most of the time, what it is, is just getting together and saying that you're thinking about fighting, and you've got to schedule a fight, but I have movies to attend to.
bryan callen
Did you ever see the deposition he did?
He blinded somebody in one of his movies with a wheel kick, and he had to do a deposition at a trial about how...
Look at him.
Look at him.
joe rogan
Fuck, he's brilliant.
unidentified
Look at him.
brendan schaub
Hey, who's better looking, him or Jody?
eddie bravo
That's not real.
joe rogan
Oh, he's definitely not as good-looking as Alan now.
brendan schaub
How dare you?
joe rogan
But back in the day...
brendan schaub
I'm saying now.
unidentified
Prime.
brendan schaub
Prime Jean-Claude Van Damme.
joe rogan
In the day, it was really close.
Yeah, let's not get crazy, though.
brendan schaub
Jean-Claude Van Damme all day.
eddie bravo
No, he ain't doing Versace.
unidentified
Fuck!
eddie bravo
He's got a great number.
I don't see none of that shit.
joe rogan
There's no one better-looking than Alan Joban.
They're just different.
You don't get better-looking.
bryan callen
You just don't.
joe rogan
McCoste's on Benavides' back!
Oh shit, look at this.
Meanwhile, we don't have any idea who won.
If any of you fuckers try to say, Benavidez get robbed or Bacardi got robbed...
bryan callen
No, I've been watching it!
I think Benavidez is ahead!
joe rogan
If the decision comes out, we would do a worse job than, you know, name your least favorite judge.
bryan callen
I got Benavidez ahead because he's...
joe rogan
Oh, shut the fuck up!
unidentified
You had your right shoulder turned to the screen the entire time.
eddie bravo
No, I can feel it.
bryan callen
I can feel it.
unidentified
I can feel it.
joe rogan
Do you have the jeans on?
Do you put the jeans on, man?
brendan schaub
Take those sweats off.
Put those jeans on right now, sir.
joe rogan
I got Brian Callen a pair of the barbell jeans, so props to barbell jeans.
Eddie Bravo just took the second large glass of vino.
eddie bravo
This is not a large glass.
unidentified
Large.
Large.
eddie bravo
How is this large?
How is that large?
joe rogan
Well, if you were in a fine restaurant.
eddie bravo
Dude, that's a double, son.
joe rogan
Come on, man.
unidentified
This would be like a kid's glass.
joe rogan
He pours a slight sipping thing.
This is a delicious wine, by the way.
brendan schaub
They are really nice.
bryan callen
That's the best can't eat there.
joe rogan
Let me tell you something about Callan.
This motherfucker knows his wine.
I've gone to dinner with him, and he gets in a conversation with this sommelier.
brendan schaub
It's the best.
joe rogan
And he says, what do you have in a Burgundy from 97?
And the guy goes, oh shit, this motherfucker's for real.
unidentified
Yeah, bitch.
joe rogan
And then Callan will start talking about different grapes that are grown on different hillsides, and he'll explain.
Guys, what the fuck, man?
He'll explain some shit to the Somalia.
We ate at this restaurant and the Somalia was like, yes, correct, that's correct.
He started talking about...
bryan callen
Oh my god, I gotta work on your technique.
joe rogan
Your sidekick is...
You gotta pick your knee up higher.
brendan schaub
I think Jean-Claude Van Damme wears those too, though, for sure.
joe rogan
You have to put your knee up higher.
They look good, baby.
It has nothing to do with stretching.
You just haven't thrown a sidekick in a while.
It's a little rusty.
You can do it.
bryan callen
Are you going to put your socks on before you kick?
joe rogan
Why do you want to put your socks on?
Does that help your kicking?
You like to kick with shoes on?
Do you still wear those shiny shoes so that you can throw roundhouse kicks quicker because you pivot?
If you have a shiny soul, like, that's terrible.
You gotta pick your knee up.
You have a, no, see, it's not bad, but you have an inherent flaw in your technique that probably was never, never explained to you.
brendan schaub
For 49, though, it ain't bad.
unidentified
That's pretty good.
joe rogan
It's not right.
eddie bravo
I wouldn't want to get hit by that.
I wouldn't want to get hit by that.
joe rogan
You'd get hit in the dick.
eddie bravo
Yeah, if you got hit right in the shaft.
joe rogan
That's where you would get hit.
eddie bravo
Oh, shit.
brendan schaub
Brian's throwing spinning kicks right now.
joe rogan
Dude, it's wrong.
brendan schaub
Those jeans are helping though.
joe rogan
Are you being serious there?
Are you being serious?
Show me a real front leg sidekick.
For real.
bryan callen
The best I can do right now.
joe rogan
All bullshit.
All bullshit.
bryan callen
Well, just this from here.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, just throw it.
brendan schaub
Let me see the spinning one though.
Show them the spinning one.
bryan callen
My wheel kick.
brendan schaub
Yeah, it's my favorite that he does.
It's my favorite.
Oh, how dare you!
joe rogan
All you have to do is different.
All you're doing wrong is you're coming up, your foot is going up from the ground in almost like a half moon.
You want to get your knee up higher.
That's one of the cool things about those jeans.
Way higher than that.
brendan schaub
That's one of the cool things about those jeans.
joe rogan
Yeah, these jeans that we're wearing, they're like sweatpants, man.
No, no, no.
Don't throw the kick until your knee is up.
Get your knee up first and then throw the kick.
The problem is you're doing both at the same time.
No, no, no.
Don't throw the kick until your knee is up high.
Lift your knee up way high past your waist and then throw the kick.
Yes.
Knee up first and then don't look over your stomach.
Look over your shoulder.
Yeah, but knee first.
Here, hold on.
eddie bravo
This is fucking hysterical.
joe rogan
This is ridiculous.
unidentified
This is so stupid.
joe rogan
I can't watch it.
I can't watch.
eddie bravo
Are you getting this on video?
joe rogan
My barbell jeans got me pumped.
unidentified
My barbell jeans got me pumped.
I'm about to.
eddie bravo
Joe's gonna go off here.
brendan schaub
Dude, jeans on jeans on jeans.
joe rogan
Lift egg up.
Up here.
Up here.
You're so flexible.
brendan schaub
Fight companion.
joe rogan
From here, turn your shoulder to the right.
Turn your shoulder to the right.
To the right.
Now extend.
Extend.
Extend.
Straight.
Don't look over your stomach.
Look over your shoulder.
unidentified
Like this.
joe rogan
Like this.
Like that.
That's how you look.
That's the end.
I'm not flexible anymore.
You are flexible.
You're fine.
Look, right from here.
Watch.
Oh, son.
eddie bravo
Damn.
Even in the air.
unidentified
Even in the air, fucking Chuck Norris is blushing.
joe rogan
Lift your knee up and then kick.
brendan schaub
I still think Jean-Claude Van Damme beats the fuck out of both of you.
joe rogan
Knee up first, then kick.
unidentified
Watch.
joe rogan
One, two.
bryan callen
Okay, ready?
brendan schaub
I'm not mad at Joe's form at all.
joe rogan
No.
No, one and then two.
One.
Up.
Up.
Now twist.
Twist.
eddie bravo
That's it.
joe rogan
But don't look over your stomach.
brendan schaub
I don't know what the fuck's wrong.
I know Jean-Claude Van Damme would be proud.
bryan callen
What are you doing with your shoulder?
joe rogan
Look.
I'm throwing it up here.
Yeah, I'm like this.
I'm never like this.
eddie bravo
Look at Joe's ass when he throws the kick.
unidentified
Just focus on his ass.
brendan schaub
Dude, I was just looking at it.
eddie bravo
Don't look at the foot.
brendan schaub
He has a set of honey...
eddie bravo
Don't look at the foot.
brendan schaub
...honey do's on it.
eddie bravo
Look right into the glutes.
Look deeply into them.
brendan schaub
Dude, I'd love to see our actual taekwondo match between Callen and Rogan.
bryan callen
That's better.
eddie bravo
I would just stare at their asses.
bryan callen
Dude, my barbell chains make me a fucking monster.
joe rogan
They're awesome, right?
bryan callen
Yeah, when you see my kicks...
You see my...
I'm out of breath.
joe rogan
It's just fundamentally a little off.
bryan callen
Yeah.
A little bit.
It's been years.
brendan schaub
You get there.
joe rogan
But that thing is everybody fucks that up.
Everybody fucks that up.
It's the number one thing about the sidekick that people get wrong.
And it changes everything.
If you learn to do it right, you learn to get that knee up high, the power difference is fucking substantial.
eddie bravo
Is it too late to learn when you're 40?
unidentified
No!
brendan schaub
49, son!
joe rogan
No, you just gotta do it right.
brendan schaub
Hey, Callan, with Rogan's help, you could be the best.
bryan callen
All right.
unidentified
You're the best!
eddie bravo
I could be the best!
brendan schaub
I could be the best!
bryan callen
Dear Diary, today...
joe rogan
Listen, you just can't...
It's up to you, bro.
Here's the thing.
You don't just throw it.
You have to throw it right.
Or don't throw it.
You can't be happy with the scoop.
bryan callen
Never throw the scoop.
joe rogan
Listen, the scoop doesn't exist.
You can't do it.
If I ever threw a kick like that, I'd be sick for a year.
eddie bravo
Just run.
brendan schaub
One year.
eddie bravo
One year.
joe rogan
Don't throw it.
bryan callen
What's wrong with Joe?
He's still sick?
He threw a bad sidekick.
brendan schaub
It looks like he won.
joe rogan
Well, it's not a bad sidekick.
It's just you need to learn how to do it right.
The knee has to come up high, and then you can do it right.
Once I showed you how to do it, you were doing it way better.
brendan schaub
I'll tell you right now.
joe rogan
The last one was the best one.
brendan schaub
I'll tell you right now, you throw that sidekick with Jean-Claude Van Damme in here, he's going to throw up.
He's never coming back.
bryan callen
No, dude.
brendan schaub
You've got to get better.
bryan callen
You've got to get better.
I'm dangerous.
joe rogan
It's real simple.
You either do it right or you don't do it.
And that's the only way to get your technique.
bryan callen
I'll be at your house at 5 a.m.
unidentified
tomorrow.
bryan callen
Ready for my lesson.
joe rogan
There you will.
You'll feel it.
I'll pad you up like Justin.
I put Justin Milos in pads.
brendan schaub
I hope you pay him well.
joe rogan
I pay him well.
bryan callen
Well, that's why hitting a heavy bag is good.
brendan schaub
He's going to be like Freddie Roach in about three years.
joe rogan
I have leg pads on him.
I have leg pads on him.
I have a body pad on him.
I don't kick him in the body, though.
I only kick him in the tie pads.
But I've fucked him up with body shots.
unidentified
Like body shots when the guy's wearing pads.
eddie bravo
It's so fun.
What if it gets to the point where you're paying dudes to not wear pads?
brendan schaub
Just fucking dudes up.
eddie bravo
Let me fuck you up.
joe rogan
Don't hit me back.
You don't think someone's done that?
unidentified
Of course.
joe rogan
You know what I mean?
eddie bravo
And you just bring them in.
You just come in and you take a beating and it'll give you fucking $5,000.
bryan callen
Time for the killing.
joe rogan
Yeah, you can't do that.
I know too much about brain damage.
eddie bravo
No, not in the head.
joe rogan
Head is extra!
Who knows what's going on with your liver?
Who knows what's going on with your liver when you get fucking, like, when Dos Anjos kick cowboy in the body?
And that knee to the body?
brendan schaub
Dude, you throw one of those spinning heel kicks in someone's body?
joe rogan
Dude.
Listen, man.
I've seen people get launched across the fucking floor from a turning side kick to the body.
They get launched.
You hit them right?
bryan callen
Is it a back kick somebody well?
joe rogan
There's a video of me on YouTube kicking a guy and he soars.
bryan callen
There was a video of me doing that and they took it down because that's too dangerous.
brendan schaub
Makes sense.
bryan callen
I slew him.
Like a dragon?
Yeah.
I told you guys.
I called it.
Love that guy.
eddie bravo
Oh shit, he was right.
bryan callen
I've slain a lot of guys.
brendan schaub
Dwayne Ludwig in his corner.
joe rogan
A kick to the body is always painful because your leg is strong.
Even if you have a half-ass kick, you throw a kick to the body, it's usually stronger than most people's punches, unless you're like some Tumanov type character.
bryan callen
Also, your shoulder should take the kick around.
joe rogan
But when you learn how to kick, and you kick good, a kick to the body is horrific.
It's horrific.
bryan callen
Especially if your shoulder's a kick.
brendan schaub
You should work on your kicking nonstop.
Dedicate your life to kicking.
bryan callen
That's all I'm doing.
I cannot do the podcast.
brendan schaub
Dedicate your life to kicking.
unidentified
I think you can afford to pay dudes so that you fucking...
eddie bravo
Hey, it's not going to kill them.
joe rogan
You get so rich, you just pay.
brendan schaub
It might kill them.
eddie bravo
You got to bring in like 10 guys a session.
bryan callen
It might kill them.
The way Joe pays.
eddie bravo
Dudes will only be able to last like 90 seconds tops with Joe.
unidentified
Joe's going to need at least eight guys.
bryan callen
He kicks hard, dude.
eddie bravo
He's gonna need eight guys a day.
bryan callen
At 49, he kicks as hard as anybody.
joe rogan
At $5,500 bucks a pop?
bryan callen
Shit!
joe rogan
I have a few months.
eddie bravo
That's $10,000 right there.
bryan callen
You do kick harder.
I've been around kicking for a long time.
You kick harder than anybody.
joe rogan
Well, I've learned...
bryan callen
I can't believe I just said I've been around kicking for a long time.
eddie bravo
Can you imagine how good that'll feel, dude, if he could do that?
If he could just fucking lay him out.
bryan callen
You know who kicks hard back in the day?
And I was right next to him.
unidentified
Who?
bryan callen
I watched Boss Rootin kick the bag.
unidentified
Come on, son.
bryan callen
Oh, my God.
brendan schaub
Boss Rootin?
unidentified
How...
bryan callen
Dude, it sounded like somebody was shooting a shotgun.
joe rogan
You know who's the strongest I've ever heard kick a bag?
Pedro Hizzo.
Pedro Hizzo's leg kicks.
They scared me more than anything I've ever seen in my life.
bryan callen
He's got the widest hips I've ever seen.
joe rogan
When I saw him kick the bag at Beverly Hills Jiu Jitsu, all I thought of is just would take one and I'd be over.
There's no way I would survive.
If he kicked me once in the leg, my shit would just give up.
brendan schaub
You know who had the hardest kick I've ever seen?
joe rogan
Who?
brendan schaub
Shane Carwin.
joe rogan
Well, he's a gorilla.
brendan schaub
But he never threw him.
He was always too tempted to throw him.
He wasn't tempted to throw him in the fight because he thought heavyweights could counter.
He fucked up so many guys' legs in the gym, they banned him from kicking.
He had to stop kicking.
joe rogan
Well, that's a terrible idea.
Why didn't they fucking pay people the money to go down?
Just wear balloons.
Didn't Trevor Whitman train him?
Why didn't Trevor have him throwing kicks?
Because Trevor's a wicked kickboxing coach.
brendan schaub
He would.
They would work on kicks all the time, but then he would never throw it in sparring and do it in fights.
joe rogan
Man, that's too bad.
His legs were so heavy, he'd like, fuck up your ACL and MCL. Carwin was a fucking freak specimen as far as his skeletal muscular structure.
bryan callen
He had to spar him every day for how many years?
joe rogan
I can't even imagine.
bryan callen
I don't know how you get out of the car.
Today I'm going to shoot as far as that.
joe rogan
We're stuck in Denver.
Not much to do.
brendan schaub
I was like, I either got to start rapping or play basketball or fucking spar car with.
bryan callen
Did you wear a football helmet or something?
I would never have done that.
joe rogan
A football helmet wouldn't help.
Probably wouldn't be a bigger thing for him to hit.
Dude, I was living in Boulder and I was training at Amal Easton's and this guy walked in and we were in the middle of class, we were going over drills, and I saw this guy walk in and I'm like, that's not even a real person.
My dad can't be a real person.
Then I realized it was Carwin.
He had this t-shirt on that looked like it probably was made for me.
His fucking arms were my thighs, essentially.
brendan schaub
He looks like Juggernaut from X-Men.
joe rogan
At the time, he had to make 265. He was cutting weight.
Yeah, he was cutting a little bit of weight.
He was so big.
brendan schaub
Real quick, Misha Tate's hottest MMA fighter.
bryan callen
She's so hot to me.
brendan schaub
I agree.
A hot set of one-two bitties on her.
bryan callen
Oh, she's so hot.
joe rogan
Well, the booty is just out of control.
bryan callen
She's also awesome.
joe rogan
She's just a nice person, too.
She's sweet.
unidentified
By far the hottest girl, I think, in MMA. She's also just awesome in general.
joe rogan
There's some fucking pretty decently hot ones.
brendan schaub
Name one hotter than her, though.
joe rogan
There's some girl that just started fighting in Bellator that looks really hot.
brendan schaub
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There was pictures of her on the ground.
brendan schaub
I'll tell you what, Tiff Timebomb ain't...
I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers and kick me in the face.
unidentified
Oh, she's hot.
bryan callen
Rose...
joe rogan
Rose is hot.
bryan callen
Rose is hot as shit.
joe rogan
Paige Van Zandt's hot.
brendan schaub
Once Paige got her ass whooped like that, I'm like, ah, I'm off that train now.
joe rogan
No, I'm just kidding.
How dare you.
brendan schaub
Rose is adorable.
No, Paige, I'm a Paige fan.
Don't give me a twist.
I'm a Paige fan.
But still, Misha Tate, pound for pound.
bryan callen
Michelle Waterman is sick.
eddie bravo
Aren't you guys married?
What the fuck?
bryan callen
Hey, man.
eddie bravo
Speak for yourself, old boy.
bryan callen
Sorry, guys.
joe rogan
Thank you, Eddie.
brendan schaub
I'm a free agent, son.
joe rogan
You're the voice of morality.
eddie bravo
Oh, really?
That's okay.
bryan callen
I don't like seeing him when I'm gonna get punched like that.
brendan schaub
Well, enjoy this kick then, son.
unidentified
Oh, shit!
joe rogan
Oh, shit!
brendan schaub
They try everything in their power not to show that.
unidentified
Like, fuck!
joe rogan
No, they don't.
They show that fucker all the time.
That's in the loop now.
You know the loop, the knockout loop that plays to Baba O'Reilly, the Who song?
brendan schaub
They put Ryan on the Baba O... Oh, shit.
joe rogan
You have to.
brendan schaub
Does Dana White know this?
joe rogan
Of course he does.
He's a part of it.
brendan schaub
You fucked up.
No!
You fucked up.
Brought it to light.
Dana's gonna listen to this and that shit's gonna be marked out now.
joe rogan
No, no, no, no.
Listen, Holly Holm is a fucking legit champion.
He doesn't play favorites that much.
He might have a love for Ronda like as a person, but the bottom line is- Business is business.
Business is business.
And Holly is the fucking champion, man.
And with a spectacular result.
You couldn't remove that spectacular, because that was the most spectacular result in the history of women's MMA and the UFC. 100%.
Oh my god.
brendan schaub
I want to see Holly on a private jet.
eddie bravo
What we're seeing, now Holly's having her first fight.
bryan callen
It stirs trouble.
joe rogan
What did this motherfucker say before the podcast started?
unidentified
Goddammit!
No, you got started!
Goddammit!
You just dragged me again!
eddie bravo
We're talking about the sport!
bryan callen
He got sucked in!
unidentified
Brian sucked me in!
joe rogan
Brian sucked me in!
bryan callen
I sucked you in!
brendan schaub
Fuck you, Brian!
joe rogan
I can't handle this on my local diet!
bryan callen
He's about to go into ketosis.
He's going into emotional ketosis.
eddie bravo
I think it's really easy, Misha and Holly.
I think if Misha can't take Holly down, if Misha can't take Holly down, Holly's going to win.
She's either going to decision her or she's going to mock her.
unidentified
Misha ain't going to take Holly down.
eddie bravo
But if she can take her down, if she can take her down...
bryan callen
She's not going to take Holly down.
eddie bravo
I don't think Holly's jiu-jitsu is anywhere near Misha's.
brendan schaub
Misha can grapple.
bryan callen
Holly is stronger, more athletic.
eddie bravo
Misha can grapple.
bryan callen
And she's going to light her up.
brendan schaub
Hey, Misha went three rounds.
joe rogan
Hold on.
Hit the brakes.
Let's not say she's going to do this because we really don't know.
I really have a problem when people do that.
eddie bravo
I said two things.
joe rogan
He said she's going to light her up.
He said she's not going to be able to take her down and she's going to light her up.
I don't really think we should say that.
brendan schaub
You don't think that's a fair assessment, Joe?
joe rogan
I think it's disrespectful.
brendan schaub
Oh, I disagree.
joe rogan
This is what I think.
I think, honestly, I think Misha Tate is a better grappler.
I think Misha Tate dominated Sarah McMahon on the ground and flipped her over on her back and held her down, which is a giant accomplishment.
bryan callen
Yes.
joe rogan
Out-grappled her, out-grounded her out, and showed some badass striking against Jessica.
bryan callen
If I may strike.
joe rogan
I dropped her with a punch.
Ken Strike.
bryan callen
If I may.
joe rogan
And also is not going to be ridiculous.
She's not going to charge.
She's not going to be chin-up.
Your face first, tough it out.
Your IQ's very high.
bryan callen
All I'm saying is that I don't think it's disrespectful.
I would never be disrespectful.
However, no, no, no.
I don't think it's disrespectful.
joe rogan
Just 10 minutes ago.
unidentified
Hey, man.
brendan schaub
You were disrespectful, John Claude Van Damme, for sure.
bryan callen
No, the jeans haven't been worked out yet.
joe rogan
Those jeans are like fucking yoga pants.
bryan callen
No, no, no.
They need to be...
joe rogan
These are new.
bryan callen
The fibers are so tight.
These are new.
joe rogan
I put these on today.
I got them from the same pack.
bryan callen
You broke them in.
Look at how flexible you are, man.
joe rogan
I got them from the same pack.
bryan callen
I'm getting turned on.
Please don't.
Listen, listen.
joe rogan
They come from the same box.
These are new.
bryan callen
No, these are new.
Now they're broken.
unidentified
They still have the tag on them.
bryan callen
I don't know about that.
Those look very broken.
I think you're lying to me.
joe rogan
I just got them.
bryan callen
No, you put them on that machine.
joe rogan
I just got them.
bryan callen
You put them on that jean machine.
joe rogan
I didn't buy them.
They sent them to me for free.
bryan callen
I don't think it's disrespectful to say the greatest striker ever in MMA. The greatest striker ever for women in MMA. Ioana.
joe rogan
Ioana and Jacek.
brendan schaub
Some would say Cyborg.
bryan callen
I would say Holly.
joe rogan
Holly, Ioana.
Holly and Ioana.
Yeah, but to say that she would light anybody up for KO power.
bryan callen
But to say that Holly would light up anybody is not disrespectful.
It's a compliment to Holly.
It's not a diss to Misha.
joe rogan
No, you were saying she's going to light her up.
bryan callen
I believe that.
And that's not being disrespectful.
joe rogan
It might happen, or Misha might take her to the ground and be able to dominate her from there.
bryan callen
Good luck taking her down.
Her takedown defense is awesome.
brendan schaub
She's never been taken down before.
eddie bravo
She might not be able to get taken down.
brendan schaub
She's never been taken down before.
eddie bravo
But if she can, if Misha can take her down...
I think Misha's gonna, if she can take her down, she's gonna be all over her on the ground.
brendan schaub
All I know is Misha's first team off cutie.
joe rogan
We don't know because it's really a mystery.
Like, we haven't seen Holly on the ground really.
unidentified
Well, I do know one thing.
joe rogan
Except for those brief moments with Ronda where she got out of Ronda's armbar attempt and where she took Ronda down.
She took Ronda down.
That's all we know.
As far as, you might have some inside information from gyms, from people who trained with her.
I know this.
brendan schaub
I think it's a tougher matchup stylistic-wise for Holly than Rhonda.
joe rogan
Well, what do you know?
eddie bravo
Well, I know that she's not obsessed with jiu-jitsu.
She's one of those, and there's a lot of MMA fighters like that.
I could just rattle names off left and right.
There's a lot of guys that just want to stand and bang and work their wrestling and work to get up.
They don't want to fucking learn Jiu Jitsu.
There's so many that are still around.
They don't want to work on their back.
They just want to beat the shit out of people, take them fucking down and get on top, or not even fucking take them down, just stay and bang and work on their takedown defense.
brendan schaub
If they get taken down, work on getting back up.
eddie bravo
That's savagery.
That's barbarianism like that.
bryan callen
Are you saying that's Holly?
joe rogan
Robbie Lawler.
That's like Robbie Lawler.
eddie bravo
Yeah, that's a lot of guys like that.
And I hear Holly is one of those guys.
She just wants to stand and bang.
Or one of those girls.
She's one of those fighters.
It's not obsessed.
And what those fighters all have in common, they're generally not known to have dangerous weapons off their back.
brendan schaub
She gets the fuck up and kicks bitches in the face.
unidentified
Especially in women's division.
brendan schaub
Whose jiu-jitsu does she have to worry about in the women's division?
bryan callen
Holly is a champion for a long time.
eddie bravo
She works on takedown defense a lot, and she works on getting back up a lot.
That's what I hear.
And kicking.
brendan schaub
Misha can get through that.
joe rogan
Isn't there a lesson to be learned that MMA math doesn't really work, and that styles really match up weird sometimes?
And this might be a case.
The Misha Tate fight versus Holly Holm fight, I think, is a very tough fight.
brendan schaub
Really tough fight.
joe rogan
She's sneaky.
She's sneaky and she's tough.
She does a lot of good.
She's got a lot of good skills.
She's got good skills standing.
brendan schaub
She's a grinder, too.
joe rogan
She fights with their fucking hands up high.
She doesn't rush in and take crazy chances, and she can pop.
I mean, she dropped Jessica Ai with a really good right hand.
brendan schaub
She's super game, too, man.
joe rogan
Super game.
brendan schaub
She's a grinder.
She's great in the transitions.
She has really good transitions.
joe rogan
And like Holly, she's lost and been beaten up before.
She got beat up by Kat Zingano.
She's been to the mountains.
She came back stronger.
bryan callen
100%.
joe rogan
That coming back stronger is big.
Because she came back and beat Jessica Ai and Sarah McMahon.
I thought showing more determination, showing more grit.
Her back was against the wall after losing that fight to Kat, and she came back stronger.
bryan callen
From what I've seen with my eye, whether I'm right or not, it looks like Holly not only is a higher level striker, I think Holly, just from what I've seen, has much more snap and speed.
joe rogan
No question.
bryan callen
She's just so much faster.
joe rogan
She's a 19-time world boxing champion.
brendan schaub
Misha's record is way better in MMA than Holly's.
bryan callen
Holly's been mainly a striker and not an MMA person, right?
joe rogan
Exactly.
Her boxing is unquestionably better.
Unquestionably.
She's arguably got the best striking credentials ever in the history of the women's division.
bryan callen
Sure, and kicking too.
joe rogan
19-time world boxing champion.
The only one who comes close is Ioana because she's six-time world Muay Thai champion when it comes to actual champions.
But Misha can grapple, she can clinch, she can avoid striking, and she doesn't necessarily have to kickbox with her.
So it becomes a very different proposition.
So if they went kickboxing to kickboxing, yes.
If they had an MMA kickboxing match, which is what essentially the Ronda fight was, except for two brief moments...
If they went kickboxing, yeah, Holly's gonna fuck her up.
But in MMA, Misha's fucking smart.
She's sneaky, she knows a lot of shit, and she's been there before.
And she's tough.
And she knows she's tough.
She knows she can grind it out in a grueling brawl.
And she has a real shot.
She's got a real shot.
brendan schaub
See, I think Misha, she's never gonna beat Ronda, but Misha can beat Holly to be champion.
I just think stylistic-wise, it's a much better matchup.
joe rogan
We won't know until they lock up.
brendan schaub
I'm just saying, from what I know in mixed martial arts, I think stylistic-wise, Misha has a way better chance of beating Holly than she does Ronda.
joe rogan
Also, there's a big difference between someone who is fighting off the back leg as a counter person, which Holly is just ridiculously good at.
Her counters, her timing was fucking spectacular.
But Ronda was presenting a predictable target.
There was a lot of running forward.
There was a lot of aggression.
unidentified
That's all she knows.
joe rogan
So all Holly had to do was be patient, find the right footwork, and catch her coming in, because she knew she was coming in.
So it was an exercise in moving back and countering.
She knew exactly what she was preparing for.
Misha's not going to do that.
Misha comes forward though.
But if you remember, there was a few fighters, most notably Patrick Cote, that fought Anderson Silva, and he didn't lead.
And when he didn't lead, Anderson did not look nearly as good.
brendan schaub
It was a horrible fight.
joe rogan
It was a horrible fight because Cote has an iron jaw, he's got knockout power, and he's smart.
So what does he do?
He knows that Anderson is a wizard at countering.
So he's not his predictable, usual, aggressive self.
brendan schaub
I don't think those two girls are on the same level as that.
joe rogan
No, they're not on the same level.
Holly is.
Holly's on a very high level for women.
unidentified
Yes, she is.
joe rogan
For women, no one's been on a higher level striking-wise.
brendan schaub
I think Misha's will afford to get an underhook and try to grind her out of your cage.
bryan callen
She might not be able to.
joe rogan
This is what we're going to find out.
bryan callen
Holly's going to make her kick not so much.
I think Holly is so much stronger.
I was amazed.
She looked so much stronger than Ronda.
Ronda's strong as shit.
And it felt like Holly was a lot stronger.
brendan schaub
This fight ain't going by the first round, by the way.
bryan callen
And she's going to be stronger than Misha.
brendan schaub
This fight's out of the first round.
This one ends early.
joe rogan
Yeah, Faye Zhao.
brendan schaub
Fajal's look like doo-doo lately.
joe rogan
Well, he's had some rough fights, man.
Patrick Cummings really beat him down last round.
That was in Brazil.
That was a crazy fight, man.
brendan schaub
OC's a motherfucker.
He's in the first round.
joe rogan
He's a super athlete, man.
That powerful left kick.
Sick.
He's got a nasty left kick.
He's a dude that just keeps getting better, too.
brendan schaub
If you can get him down, you can win the fight.
bryan callen
Didn't he try out for the NFL a bunch of times?
brendan schaub
Nope.
bryan callen
I thought he did.
brendan schaub
Nope.
He just played at University of Tennessee and then went straight to...
bryan callen
Really?
He didn't...
joe rogan
He's a serious athlete, man.
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Maybe he went to Combine or something.
Not the NFL Combine, but he...
bryan callen
Really?
joe rogan
No, he didn't get tryouts with the NFL. When he knocked out Shogun with that step-away left hook...
brendan schaub
Oof, that was nasty.
joe rogan
He let everybody know what's up.
brendan schaub
There's a big message.
Oh, they're doing Shogun Rashaad again, right?
joe rogan
No, Shogun...
Is that what it is?
Yes, yes, yes.
Who's Liotto fighting?
Liotto's fighting so much Dan Henderson.
brendan schaub
Thanks for nothing.
joe rogan
That's a weird fight.
brendan schaub
Thanks for nothing on both of those.
joe rogan
How dare you.
brendan schaub
Thanks for nothing.
joe rogan
You wouldn't watch that?
brendan schaub
Nah.
Ten years ago I wouldn't.
joe rogan
Okay.
I will absolutely watch Liotto and Dan Henderson.
brendan schaub
Oh, you're crunk for it?
You're like crunk for it?
joe rogan
I am always crunk for a Liotto fight.
Because Liotto, just a year and a half ago, knocked out Mark Munoz with that wicked left head kick.
brendan schaub
Liotto is one of my favorite people on the planet.
I'm just saying, Dan Henderson's old.
Can we give him something else?
joe rogan
Well, Dan Henderson has a bunch of fights left in his contract, and I think he still thinks that he can do it.
And you've got to let a guy like that...
brendan schaub
He deserves the right.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Two unsuccessful attempts at professional football.
So there it goes.
You were right, Brian.
brendan schaub
It doesn't say NFL, though, does it?
joe rogan
Well, I would imagine this.
unidentified
Oh, professional football.
brendan schaub
Oh, no.
unidentified
No, no, no.
brendan schaub
It's not Italian soccer.
You could be CFL, AFL. Oh, really?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
brendan schaub
There's a ton.
joe rogan
Brendan Shaw, former NFL player with fucking logic.
Maybe we should listen.
unidentified
I know.
eddie bravo
Oh, shit.
brendan schaub
He played football for 20 years, but it's whatever.
eddie bravo
Who got hurt?
Ovens.
joe rogan
Really?
eddie bravo
He kicked him and he fucked his leg up.
unidentified
He's limping.
Oh, no.
Really?
eddie bravo
He kicked him and fucked up.
joe rogan
Where did he kick him?
eddie bravo
I need to see it again.
Oh, he's fucked up.
brendan schaub
That leg's fucked up.
unidentified
Look at his leg.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, he's limping.
He might have hurt his knee or something.
brendan schaub
OSB's thing, man, is his training camp, his team.
I have no idea who he's training.
joe rogan
Yeah, his left leg is real wobbly, man.
bryan callen
He changed.
He went southpaw.
joe rogan
Did you see what happened, Eddie?
bryan callen
Well, this is orthodox.
joe rogan
Did you see what happened, Eddie?
eddie bravo
He kicked a homeboy and hurt his leg kicking him.
joe rogan
Oh, like shin to shin?
eddie bravo
Something happened like that.
bryan callen
He's back to- Ooh!
He's took it again!
joe rogan
He's not moving so good on him.
bryan callen
Fajal saw that.
joe rogan
Well, it's the wrong leg.
brendan schaub
He's not moving at all.
joe rogan
Fajal just attacked the right leg.
You talking about the left leg?
bryan callen
No, I think I'm talking about the right leg.
joe rogan
Is his right leg hurt?
brendan schaub
He started out in Southpaw, now he switched because his leg's fucked up.
joe rogan
So he's kicking with the fucked up leg as his supporting leg?
bryan callen
The leg- His right leg is bunched up.
brendan schaub
Oh, he's super fucked up.
bryan callen
His right leg is bunched.
joe rogan
Oh, that's weird.
bryan callen
Yeah, he got his knee messed up.
joe rogan
Isn't it weird just to try to see a guy try to hide that shit?
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know who was the best I've ever seen in it?
Uriah Hall.
Uriah Hall had his foot fucked up so bad that his toe was hanging off.
And he came back to his corner and we got a camera on it so we could get a look at it.
His foot was completely fucked up.
Like his toe, the bone was sticking out of his toe.
brendan schaub
Do you remember John Jones?
joe rogan
That was after the fight.
That was after it was over.
Uriah, what I'm saying is he went back to his corner, like barely could walk.
And then when the round started, that motherfucker completely ignored it.
He was throwing kicks with it.
His fucking toe was hanging off and he's throwing wheel kicks with it.
Yeah, there's his toe.
You see how fucked up it is?
It was broken off to the right, and the bone was coming out.
I could see the bone when I was there.
Uriah Hall is a bad motherfucker.
He is a bad motherfucker.
brendan schaub
What's going on?
He hasn't fought in a while, huh?
joe rogan
Well, he lost to Gegard, remember?
No, he beat Gegard.
He beat Gegard, then he lost to...
brendan schaub
Whittaker?
joe rogan
I'm sorry.
bryan callen
Who did he lost to?
joe rogan
He lost to Whittaker, Robert Whittaker.
bryan callen
Michelle's being very, very careful here, huh?
joe rogan
The fight with Gegard was a spectacular victory for him.
What am I talking about?
unidentified
Amazing.
brendan schaub
And Gegard's still ranked higher than him.
joe rogan
That's crazy.
That doesn't make any sense to me.
brendan schaub
Gegard's fighting Thales Leides, right?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Talos Laitis in...
bryan callen
I haven't seen Talos Laitis in a while.
joe rogan
Talos Laitis is another one who fought very smart against Anderson Silva.
He's another one that went five rounds with Anderson Silva.
unidentified
Oh, oh, oh!
joe rogan
Look at this!
brendan schaub
Oh, they're swinging, son.
joe rogan
Oh, my goodness.
bryan callen
Oh, you had him!
unidentified
Wow.
bryan callen
Fajau, you had him!
eddie bravo
Look at that.
Oh, shit!
It looks like he can throw some elbows from the guard.
joe rogan
And Ovin St. Pooh's on top right now with Fajar and his guard.
unidentified
It looks like he's got good left elbows in the guard.
joe rogan
One thing about a guy like Fajar, though, is that Fajar's a really good striker.
And really good strikers are hard to ground and pound.
Because they don't panic, they don't lock up, they get used to getting hit, they know how to roll with things, and they know what's coming.
You know, like, their IQ as far as, like, striking, like, where the right hand's coming, where the left hand's coming, what position you're in to put, like, real torque behind something.
You rarely catch them clean.
Like, look how, see how clever he's moving when he's off his back?
brendan schaub
Fajal was the world champ.
bryan callen
Yeah, didn't Fajal fight Anderson back in the day?
joe rogan
No, no, no.
No, he fought King Mo and knocked him out in Strikeforce to win the title.
He's a bad motherfucker.
Yeah.
He's had a tough stint in the UFC. He's had some ups and downs.
He might have gotten the UFC a little later in his career.
It would be a little late for him at his best effort.
bryan callen
Ouch, his knees.
eddie bravo
Should they be massaging his knee right now?
brendan schaub
Do something.
joe rogan
No, I don't know what's wrong with it.
I mean...
It's ashy.
bryan callen
Could it have been a charley horse?
brendan schaub
We know that.
It's ashy as fuck.
joe rogan
That's for sure.
bryan callen
I've never seen him put...
He might have hurt his foot.
brendan schaub
I feel like that's a bad idea to put ice before you go out there.
joe rogan
Yeah, it might be.
bryan callen
Bring the inflammation down.
eddie bravo
Boom!
That right there.
bryan callen
Oh, that's what did it!
joe rogan
Oh, he might have broke his foot when he threw that leg kick.
bryan callen
Oh, it was his kick.
joe rogan
Yeah.
He might have blew his knee out or blew his foot out or something.
bryan callen
Yeah, he fucked his knee up, I think.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bryan callen
Damn.
joe rogan
That's too bad.
Yeah, yeah, he's having a hard time on it.
See how it's kind of wobbly?
bryan callen
Yeah, he's got to get that win.
joe rogan
But it's just interesting, you know, like little variations in someone's gait.
You can see it.
brendan schaub
Oh, look at him.
joe rogan
This is why I think I'm so excited about what's going on right now with MMA, with guys working on this crazy footwork.
Like the Dwayne Ludwig...
Like camp with the T.J. Dillashaw-style footwork, Dominic Cruz's footwork, Conor McGregor's footwork.
brendan schaub
The whole motion coach shit, movement coaches.
Tate Fletcher texted me the other day and goes, Hey man, you have any movement coaches in LA? I text him back, Fuck you.
I don't deal with that bullshit.
Whoever you're looking for, tell them to go to the jail.
joe rogan
Fuck you.
brendan schaub
He started laughing.
joe rogan
That is so funny.
unidentified
Fuck you.
joe rogan
If you're an MMA fan, you understand why that's so funny because I'm guilty of it as much as anybody, but I can't shut the fuck up about movement coaches.
brendan schaub
God, your balls deep in it.
joe rogan
Balls deep.
I had the movement guy on.
brendan schaub
Hey, bro.
How about Carlos Cognizt's movement coach?
joe rogan
He was great.
brendan schaub
Oh, what's your background?
As a kid, I climbed on trees and played with rocks.
That's like me going, oh, I'm Arctic.
Oh, yeah?
What's your degree?
I played with Legos as kids.
joe rogan
Yeah, it would have been nice if he had a more detailed background.
Zero background.
brendan schaub
Zero.
Zero.
joe rogan
But I think he knows a lot.
brendan schaub
Nah, but not really.
unidentified
Look it out.
Nah.
brendan schaub
Let's be real about it.
joe rogan
I think he knows a lot about movement, proprioception, some of the things he was talking about, about balance and coordination.
brendan schaub
It didn't look like in Carlos' fight.
Listen, man, I think you won that fight anyways, but I don't think you moved too well.
joe rogan
I think he's only been working with him for a short amount of time, and you know as much as I do that new things you're going to incorporate into high-level cage fighting.
It takes a long time to really apply them.
brendan schaub
Yeah, let's not climb on logs.
Maybe go to the gym and grapple or something, huh?
That guy had a ponytail on.
joe rogan
I was like, get the fuck out of here.
Someone on the underground said this.
I'm stealing their line.
They all look like Jesus.
brendan schaub
They all have ponytails.
joe rogan
Whoever it is that did that, tweet me so I can give them credit.
brendan schaub
They all have ponytails.
You go, what's your background?
Degrees?
He went, nah, man.
I just climbed on rocks as a kid and climbed some trees.
As soon as I heard that one.
As soon as I heard that one.
I'm going to turn this shit off.
I'm going to turn this off.
joe rogan
I was confused still, even at the end, how they sort of designed their protocol.
I mean, how he designs what they're going to do that day.
brendan schaub
Get the fuck out of my face, son!
It was such bullshit.
Connor's a freak.
Move all you want.
Move all you want.
For everyone else, stay the fuck in the gym and work on your sport.
joe rogan
But how can you say this if you haven't done it?
I honestly believe, unless you've done it, you wouldn't know.
Like, okay, here's a perfect example.
You're doing yoga now.
Would you not have thought that that shit was for housewives before you ever did it?
brendan schaub
Nah, son, I like that shit.
I like the relax movement.
I don't go to yoga to be like, listen, I'm going to be Andre Erlowski.
Let me go do some hot yoga.
joe rogan
Listen, I'm not talking about why you as an experienced yoga person goes to yoga.
I'm talking about your prejudice against yoga before you ever did yoga.
What was it?
brendan schaub
I didn't have any.
joe rogan
I did.
brendan schaub
I'm open-minded.
joe rogan
Bullshit.
brendan schaub
I swear.
joe rogan
How dare you.
brendan schaub
I came in there with a fucking green juice.
bryan callen
Look at the chakras.
The chakras are so aligned.
Show us your root chakra.
unidentified
You never thought...
joe rogan
You didn't think that...
unidentified
You didn't think that it was way easier than it turned out to be?
brendan schaub
Way easier or way harder?
joe rogan
But is it movement like yoga?
Your perception of it was that it was way easier than it actually was.
brendan schaub
It was harder, but in the middle of training camp, I'm like, thank God for Mrs. Downs in this yoga, otherwise I wouldn't move as good in this yoga.
bryan callen
But there's a lot of movement in training, right?
I mean, jabbing, moving.
unidentified
You're chock full of movement in training camp.
eddie bravo
Don't they have a lot of yoga, movements and movement?
joe rogan
Yes.
Yeah, there's definitely a lot of movement in yoga.
There's a lot of balance in yoga.
brendan schaub
I need to see a degree.
I need to see some sort of scientific backing.
joe rogan
Hold on a second there, because there's people that don't get degrees.
How about the Gymnastica Natural that Hicks and Gracie attributes to a lot of its flexibility in movement?
Before these movement coaches, this is what people need to understand.
Back in the fucking early 90s, Hickson was like a guy, he was like Candyman.
He didn't want to say his name three times.
He'd show up on your fucking doorstep and strangle you.
unidentified
It's true.
joe rogan
Dude, he was the motherfucker of motherfuckers.
bryan callen
Slow his heartbeat down, all that stuff.
joe rogan
He was a yogi.
He's a legit yogi.
eddie bravo
He was a movement guy.
Gymnostic natural is all movement.
unidentified
Exactly.
joe rogan
It was both.
He applied fire breath.
That's why he's a legend.
bryan callen
But you can also add in that he did 40 years of jujitsu.
eddie bravo
That's why he stood out from all the Gracies.
He stood out.
Hicks and Gracie.
All of them will tell you.
brendan schaub
Because he did the movement.
eddie bravo
All of them.
Well, he stood out.
That's one of the factors.
That's the science here.
A detective would say, maybe it had something to do with that.
joe rogan
Yeah, but hear what you're saying here, too.
Yes.
They're not mutually exclusive.
eddie bravo
Have an open mind, Brendan.
joe rogan
They're not mutually exclusive.
Hickson, the reason why he was the greatest ever was because he was the perfect storm.
He was the guy who was super smart, he was super tough, he had a warrior mentality, and he was intelligent enough to apply a bunch of really unconventional training modalities, like some serious yoga.
That fucking video of him on the bars in Santa Monica before he fought in Japan Valley Tudo, he's doing balance beam shit, going to a full split, standing there on this fucking bar on the beach.
He's doing all these ring works.
brendan schaub
I'm not saying the movement doesn't work.
joe rogan
It was both.
eddie bravo
I agree.
Did you say it doesn't help?
unidentified
Like if a guy said he's been doing movement, a guy comes into your gym, a guy comes into your gym and he's been doing movement.
brendan schaub
I'm saying if I'm a young MMA fighter in the UFC, on my list of priorities to become a UFC champion, hiring a movement coach who his background is climbing on rocks and climbing trees is not the guy I'm going to fucking hire.
bryan callen
You are correct.
You are correct.
joe rogan
Okay, but what about the Edo Portal guy?
bryan callen
Yeah, now he's a god.
Don't diss him because I'll come at you.
brendan schaub
I will fuck you up.
He's a god again.
bryan callen
If you say anything, I will sidekick the fuck out of you with his tutelage.
joe rogan
I don't know what Erlon Erwan LaCour can do, but I know he has the respect of Carlos Condit, so he's got my respect.
brendan schaub
I enjoy talking to him.
joe rogan
I enjoy talking to him and I think he knows a lot.
So I disagree with you on that.
But I don't know if he can do what that Ido Portal guy can do.
bryan callen
But we're talking about mindset.
joe rogan
That guy moves like an anime.
brendan schaub
I agree, it's insane.
joe rogan
He moves like he's not real.
brendan schaub
Joe, all I'm saying is if you're gonna dedicate your time to something, I don't know if that's the way to go.
joe rogan
Here's why I'm not sure you're right.
Guys like Rich Martinez, we brought this up before.
He was a fantastic breakdancer.
And the ability to manipulate his body, standing on one hand, doing the fucking full lotus, all the crazy shit that he could do, directly translated to him almost immediately being a bad motherfucker in jiu-jitsu.
Directly.
Ridiculously, and not just athletic, but the dexterity of his movements.
bryan callen
One language informs the other.
joe rogan
No, you're wrong, man.
You're wrong.
unidentified
Breakdancing's This is why I'm saying you're wrong.
joe rogan
It's all good if it works and helps you.
brendan schaub
Sign up for salsa classes.
bryan callen
It's all movement.
It's all footwork.
joe rogan
Don't you remember what football players were taking ballet?
eddie bravo
Yes.
brendan schaub
I did it.
unidentified
Did you?
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
Then why are you talking shit on salsa?
But why did you take ballet?
brendan schaub
Something to do.
joe rogan
Why else did you take ballet?
unidentified
You did ballet?
And to get this ham hock and these tights and put C-Rotel?
bryan callen
Check this out, ladies.
joe rogan
Did you have to wear yoga pants and shit?
brendan schaub
Yeah, you had to wear the full dance belt.
joe rogan
You gotta wear a dance belt.
bryan callen
I did ballet for two years.
joe rogan
How do you have time to do all these things?
bryan callen
Theater school.
joe rogan
Why are you not 90?
bryan callen
Theater school, sorry.
joe rogan
All this shit you've done for five years, I lived in the woods, studying mushrooms in Bali.
bryan callen
Why was it?
Theater school!
Acting school!
unidentified
In acting school, you have to take ballet.
bryan callen
Acting school, you must take ballet.
And you have to perform and put on performances.
joe rogan
Someone's trying to fuck you, okay?
That's like going to painting school and learning how to play video games.
They're not related.
bryan callen
Let me tell you something right now, and I'm being dead serious.
I was a beautiful dancer.
brendan schaub
I'm a beautiful ballet dancer.
bryan callen
I bet you were.
brendan schaub
Dude, we did ballet.
joe rogan
Well, you used to do that video.
That video you did was just hilarious.
Not Unconventional Dancer.
What was the name of it?
What the fuck was that video that you did?
bryan callen
Where I was a gimp?
joe rogan
No, you had this crazy dance video that you made.
bryan callen
I can't remember.
joe rogan
God damn it.
It was hilarious.
You said, ah, I just did this thing.
Take a look at it.
I remember I took it home.
It was back when people actually had DVDs.
unidentified
Yes.
brendan schaub
And it was Brian Dancer.
joe rogan
What the fuck?
It wasn't Unconventional Dancer.
bryan callen
No, I can't remember what it was called.
joe rogan
It's not the word unconventional.
Like, you know, fuck.
bryan callen
Unorthodox dancer?
joe rogan
No, no, no, no, no.
bryan callen
Inappropriate dancer?
Yes, I think it was inappropriate dancer.
joe rogan
It was a sketch that he did.
It was ridiculous.
It was ridiculous.
It was a guy just like, it's okay to dance on a dance floor.
Agreed, right?
We all agree.
As long as you step into this arena and you're on the hardwood, we agree you're allowed to get ridiculous.
But you can't do that shit when you're waiting in line to rent a car.
And Bryant's character.
Was that what it was?
unidentified
I think so.
joe rogan
I can't remember.
I just remember there was some inappropriate dancing.
bryan callen
Yeah, when I slapped the gimbal, I slapped that bob thing, and I would jump out.
brendan schaub
That sounds hilarious.
bryan callen
I did all kinds of weird stuff like that.
brendan schaub
Dude, we were doing ballet, and then about two days into it, someone's like, uh, we should probably go catch some footballs.
bryan callen
Yeah, no shit.
joe rogan
No shit.
brendan schaub
And that's where all this movement and dancing stuff.
bryan callen
But one language informs the other.
joe rogan
But don't you think lunges are, essentially, in a lot of ways, especially dumbbell lunges, are very much a movement exercise?
Because it's all about balance and rigidity and keeping your core straight.
There's something about double dumbbell lunges, things along those lines.
They help you.
brendan schaub
Fizio balls?
Fizio balls?
joe rogan
No, heavy stuff.
Yeah.
If you're going to apply an explosive movement to a martial art, there's no doubt about lifting weights helps, right?
No doubt about it.
No doubt about it.
If there was no weight restrictions, you could do whatever you wanted and lift as much weight as you wanted.
There's a big difference between 170 and 200. There's just a big difference.
You get way stronger.
If you get way more explosive, it's beneficial in an applied situation, right?
Agreed.
That's movement.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's not much different.
It's like you're talking about movement with weights or movement with Muay Thai.
There's a lot of people that say training in Muay Thai has helped their jiu-jitsu.
bryan callen
I believe it.
joe rogan
It makes sense.
unidentified
I get all this, man.
joe rogan
The explosions you have to do in Muay Thai, that's movement too.
bryan callen
I get all this.
joe rogan
I would also say, I would avoid Cummings with gymnastics.
eddie bravo
I got a movement for you.
brendan schaub
I did gymnastics too.
bryan callen
What leads one person, like with Hickson, what leads him into the other disciplines is that mindset.
That comprehensive mindset.
brendan schaub
That open mindset.
To constantly get better.
His foundation is so fucking good.
joe rogan
Insane.
But also, he was a student of the great Japanese samurai.
bryan callen
Yes.
joe rogan
Correct.
Their philosophy.
So I'm sure he read the Book of Five Rings.
And one of the things about the Book of Five Rings that it emphasized was like taking in all sorts of different, be soft, like taking calligraphy, do painting, stay flexible.
bryan callen
And the reason for that, if you look at any great innovator, they started with one discipline, they started with one discipline, and then when they studied other disciplines, they were able to appropriate those disciplines and come up with a new style.
You don't revolutionize a new style by studying that style.
You branch out.
brendan schaub
A young Hickson might beat Alan Joban.
unidentified
A young, handsome as shit.
joe rogan
He's from the jungle, essentially.
He's from South America.
A 19-year-old Hickson?
unidentified
And he would twist the pussy?
joe rogan
He would have a real problem with that.
eddie bravo
Can you imagine the pussy Hickson was getting?
bryan callen
Please bring him up.
I'd like to look at him.
eddie bravo
Supermodels left in line.
joe rogan
Again, let's not bring up a specific instance.
I think your jujitsu helps your music, and I think your music helps your jujitsu.
And I think as your jujitsu's gotten better, your music's gotten better, and as your music's gotten better, your jujitsu's gotten better.
brendan schaub
I really do.
joe rogan
I think they're all...
How dare you?
brendan schaub
If you hired a movie coach, you'd be Red Hot Chili Peppers.
joe rogan
You're right, though.
When you get great at things, especially you, specifically, you're a guy who...
One of the best things about you creating 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu, ever since I've known you, if you have an idea in your mind, there's a point you have to get to.
Like, okay, there's a spot over there you gotta get to.
You have this crazy tunnel vision where you'll figure out unconventional paths to get to a point.
Like, you can block out a lot of, like, external shit that a lot of other people don't, you know, they can't block out.
They can't, like, tune in to the finish line the way you can.
It's really interesting to see, because I think that applies to your music as well.
I think it applies to everything you do.
And I think it comes, for a lot of us, I think it comes from, like, some fucked up place where you didn't get enough when you were a child.
brendan schaub
Enough attention or what?
joe rogan
Anything.
Love, attention, praise, friendship, camaraderie.
bryan callen
Also what's really important is like I said this to him the other day.
He says don't spar.
You know why I spar?
Because it terrifies me.
I'm not good at sparring.
joe rogan
How did you turn this into you when I was talking about it?
bryan callen
I'm trying to explain to him.
No, no, what I'm saying is that...
How dare you?
No, listen, listen, listen.
joe rogan
You son of a bitch.
bryan callen
No, no, this is the point I'm making.
Listen, when you do something that you're afraid of or that makes you uncomfortable, I end up writing.
I think when you do another discipline that maybe you're not even good at that scares you, it'll open up channels in your original discipline.
It'll jumble your brain so you come at things in a different way.
If you stay comfortable in stuff...
You're most likely, if you're in a creative field, it's harder to branch out and become more creative.
If you do things you're not that good at, that maybe you're scared of, that cause you to stretch in other areas, and this is the argument for movement coaches, when you do things you're not that good at to step out of your comfort zone, you'll probably get better at your original discipline.
brendan schaub
You better be good at everything else before you hire a movement coach.
With that being said, being open-minded, I think the four of us should get a timeshare.
joe rogan
Fuckin' A! Where?
brendan schaub
Just four dudes.
I don't know.
joe rogan
Let's do it.
brendan schaub
How much fun would we have?
eddie bravo
That's what I'm saying.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
brendan schaub
Be open minded.
eddie bravo
We have to do a podcast every day.
joe rogan
Listen, after all of our chicks get sick of our bullshit, let's just get a fat house in the hills and do this.
brendan schaub
And have a movement coach every day.
joe rogan
We just have a big house with four branches where we don't have to necessarily hear each other.
We just meet in the kitchen.
You know what I'm saying?
And just live like men.
Don't live like these bitches that we've become trapped in this world.
This is when we get to be free.
We can be free like this all the time.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
That's what I'm saying.
unidentified
That's what I'm saying.
joe rogan
Mel Gibson at the end of Braveheart.
unidentified
Freedom!
brendan schaub
That's what I'm saying.
joe rogan
Ovin, say pew.
Pew.
eddie bravo
Fuck yeah, Ovin's in the house.
joe rogan
Good dude.
eddie bravo
With a broke foot, whips him up.
joe rogan
I wonder what the actual injury was.
eddie bravo
OSP, baby.
bryan callen
Probably just a sprain.
He looks like he's walking okay.
joe rogan
Yeah, he looks like he's walking okay.
He's a tough one.
bryan callen
Anderson Silva.
joe rogan
Anderson Silva.
brendan schaub
What do you think of that fight?
I forgot to say Anderson.
joe rogan
It's a very good fight at this time in both their careers.
It becomes interesting.
Whereas Anderson, when he was dominating, right after he smashed Chael Sonnen in the second fight, you would think that's a tough fight for Bisping.
Anderson's just in the matrix.
Super tough fight.
Anderson comes off of...
Psychologically, there's two brutal losses in a row.
One, a loss for sure.
One, a catastrophic injury.
Then he just gets by Nick Diaz, but he gets humiliated.
Nick Diaz lies on his back and puts his hands on his head and mocks him.
He's talking to him.
He's calling him a bitch.
Dude, Nick Diaz was super respectful right up until the moment they got in that cage, and then he was Nick Diaz.
brendan schaub
It was back on.
joe rogan
It's like that old fable about the scorpion and the frog.
The frog wants to get across the pond, and the scorpion says, Or the scorpion wants to get across the pond and the frog is in the water and the scorpion says, let me ride on your back.
And the frog says, I won't do that.
If I do that, you'll sting me.
He goes, well, if I did that, we would both die.
I'm not stupid.
So the scorpion rides on the frog's back and halfway across the water, he stings him.
And the frog's like, what the fuck?
And the scorpion's like, sorry, it's in my nature.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Damn, what kind of childhood stories did you have?
I've never heard this one.
bryan callen
That's a famous story.
They also use it in connection with when he stings him and the guy...
What's that?
brendan schaub
You guys are 50. I don't know the scorpion and the frog.
bryan callen
That's a great allegory.
joe rogan
Well, the little red riding hood once upon a time when you put your food in a basket, you sent your children in the woods and you legitimately had to worry about them getting eaten by wolves.
What was the moral of that story?
bryan callen
The moral of the story is this.
joe rogan
It's vegans are retarded.
That's the story.
These motherfuckers want wolves everywhere.
What was the moral of that story?
Because stay the fuck out of the woods.
bryan callen
Stay out of the woods.
joe rogan
Stay out of the woods.
eddie bravo
There's a fucking wolf out there.
joe rogan
Wolves will eat you.
Yes.
bryan callen
And don't trust strangers, actually.
brendan schaub
That's rule number, numeral.
joe rogan
Definitely, for sure, because the person inside the house had pretended to be his grandmother.
But the reason why they were always wolves, whether it was Little Red Riding Hood or Three Little Pigs, it was always wolves.
It's because wolves legitimately ate a lot of fucking people.
And people seem to have forgot about that now, where all these assholes are like, we need to bring back the wolf.
We need to make sure the wolves are...
Wolves will kill everyone you know.
And they don't eat what they kill.
bryan callen
A lot of it was metaphor.
joe rogan
They eat some of what they kill.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
Oh my god.
Wolves are so prey-driven that they will kill whole herds of elk and not eat half the meat.
brendan schaub
I'll slap the fuck out of them.
bryan callen
But German fairy tales like Hansel and Gretel, what happens?
A lady, an old lady, takes them and she's a witch.
She puts them in a cage and starts feeding them to what?
Plump them up so she can eat them.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bryan callen
Moral of the story, don't trust even old ladies.
The Germans are like, you're a stranger?
joe rogan
Sorry.
Well, also, let's be honest about like a long time ago, a thousand years ago in rural areas where food was scarce and people had suffered through a lifetime of abuse and chaos and seeing murders and seeing assaults and rape and constant, just the programming of a person.
How much cannibalism was going on back then?
bryan callen
A lot.
joe rogan
A lot.
bryan callen
According to Steve Rinella, like in this country...
Really?
joe rogan
We were talking about the other day with the Native Americans, the Nez Perce.
Steve Rinella has the best Native American stories.
He's a legit scholar, almost.
I mean, I don't think he would call himself that, but he's incredibly knowledgeable about Native American history and what the Nez Perce Indians did in the...
Like the Great Lakes area?
There's a lot of cannibalism, man.
bryan callen
A lot.
They'd file their teeth down.
eddie bravo
What if that was a crazy guy writing history?
bryan callen
No.
Even back then, history was bullshit.
There's a lot of documented evidence.
eddie bravo
What if that all was like, yeah, we got this from an Indian.
They were cannibals, so we have to kill them all.
unidentified
That's so true.
eddie bravo
Because they're cannibals.
joe rogan
Look, we got stories.
bryan callen
By the way, any problem might be onto something.
eddie bravo
We got stories.
bryan callen
They eat each other.
eddie bravo
They're going to eat you.
Meanwhile, they're all hippies.
bryan callen
They were human beings just like all of us.
They were human beings just like all of us.
They weren't any more noble.
They were no more noble than anybody else.
They were good people and bad people.
They were just as violent as...
Hey, the most violent people arguably could be white people.
Look what the Germans did.
brendan schaub
Fucking white people, man.
joe rogan
Well, I think also, like, when you're dealing with people in the Great Lakes states...
brendan schaub
Speaking of white people, fucking white people.
joe rogan
That's a horrific knockout, man.
bryan callen
I don't like seeing that.
joe rogan
The Roy Nelson Minotau knockout.
But, you know, those people are living in a horrible, horrible climate.
Like, the Great Lakes before the invention of heat...
bryan callen
Oh, it must have been so fun.
brendan schaub
Gotta eat each other.
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, people got desperado.
Like, you know, we know about the Donner Party in Colorado.
They got trapped in the mountains.
They had to eat each other.
That shit probably happened all the time in the Great Lakes.
They just didn't talk about it.
You're talking about 15 below zero recently, right?
brendan schaub
I wonder what part you eat first.
Probably the legs or ass.
joe rogan
Just go right to the asshole.
brendan schaub
Asshole first?
bryan callen
For you, I take the chest.
brendan schaub
That's aggressive, bro.
bryan callen
I eat your chest.
joe rogan
I just say, listen, worst case scenario, I'm eating someone's asshole.
I'm going to scoop it out with a sharp spoon.
bryan callen
That's the last thing you eat.
joe rogan
I'm going to file a spoon with a fucking...
I'm not even going to pass on the shit.
You don't even want to...
Like, there's shit you have to hold on to.
You might need to eat their shit.
eddie bravo
I would eat their balls and their dick.
You know why?
joe rogan
We need to eat that dick first.
eddie bravo
You know why?
Because that's what the raccoons and the squirrels go after first.
There's a reason.
Think about that.
joe rogan
They go after the dick.
bryan callen
No, they're both.
eddie bravo
They go after the dicks.
joe rogan
That's how wolves determine who's the alpha.
The alpha gets to eat the liver.
Is that true?
Yeah, there was a guy who did this whole documentary where he lived with wolves and he lived amongst them and he had to fake a kill.
He would have a kill there and he would pack a liver inside of it and he would pull the liver out and eat it in front of them.
And he had to eat it in front of them and then he would let them eat.
eddie bravo
Sounds like a liar.
unidentified
No, no, no, no.
joe rogan
There's fucking video of it.
It's terrifying.
Really?
Here's the thing.
What happened?
He had a farm nearby that was having problems with wolves and this guy was a wolf scientist and so he would go there with these big gigantic speakers that play wolf sounds because he had to scare off this one pack of wolves with a new pack of wolves that invaded Yes.
unidentified
Jesus.
joe rogan
And he had to make it scary enough so these wolves backed off.
It's all on video.
bryan callen
The scary thing is when the alpha...
joe rogan
So here's the thing.
He came back.
The guy came back after a month.
And there was a new wolf had taken over.
And so the new wolf wanted to kill him.
So he had a whimper.
He had a whimper in front of this wolf.
So he was recognized as the old alpha.
And to avoid being killed, which is standard...
It's normal.
Like a wolf would challenge and they would fight to the death and the new alpha would kill or try to kill the old alpha.
He came that close to dying.
unidentified
There was a human involved in all that fucking shit with the wolves.
joe rogan
Oh yeah, there's a whole documentary on it.
It's called Living with Wolves, I think.
Here's the thing about it, man.
They don't understand that he's unusual because they've been with him since they were a baby.
See, the only way that works...
eddie bravo
He didn't just walk in.
joe rogan
It's a gigantic wildlife preserve.
And this guy lives in the wildlife preserve with these wolves.
eddie bravo
Oh, he knows them.
joe rogan
For their whole life.
So they've been with him since he was, you know, like four or five years ago.
But they're fucking grown, dangerous-ass wolves now.
eddie bravo
Holy shit.
joe rogan
It's amazing.
You have to see it.
eddie bravo
What's it called?
joe rogan
Find it, Jamie.
Is it called Living With Wolves?
I bet it's probably on that.
I watched it.
eddie bravo
Living With Wolves?
joe rogan
Oh, shit.
eddie bravo
Originally, I thought you were saying some guy came in and said, check this out, I'm going to fix this wolf problem.
No, no, no.
brendan schaub
I'm like, this has got to be some bullshit.
Aubrey mentioned to me some dude who was living with the grizzly bears.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, that's grizzly, man.
He died, yeah.
brendan schaub
Got fucked up by the bears.
eddie bravo
They ate him.
unidentified
And he texts Aubrey like a...
joe rogan
What?
brendan schaub
Am I confusing people?
bryan callen
No, you're confusing people.
Grizzly Man.
That's one of the best documentaries ever.
joe rogan
It's a Werner Herzog documentary.
brendan schaub
Nah, fuck that noise.
I'm not talking about that guy.
joe rogan
Oh, there's another guy that lives with bears.
eddie bravo
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, maybe.
brendan schaub
And he was like, they're real aggressive today.
And then the thing he ate his asshole, like, the next day.
joe rogan
Well, there was one bear that they used on a movie.
They used on, like, some football movie.
brendan schaub
You're talking about Bart the Bear.
joe rogan
Yeah, that bear killed that guy in 12 seconds.
brendan schaub
Yeah, no shit.
joe rogan
No shit.
The guy was just standing there doing, like, they were doing some sort of drill together.
And the bear just decided to tear his throat apart.
unidentified
But of course, bears are gonna do bear shit.
joe rogan
I agree with you.
brendan schaub
What did you think was going to happen?
bryan callen
Can I talk to a trainer with bears?
It's always possible.
I talked to this trainer with bears.
He said, well, bears will warn you about three minutes before.
If they're having a bad day, you've got to step off.
I go, what do they do?
They start clicking their jaw.
When a grizzly starts clicking his jaw, it's time for you to stop training.
joe rogan
Wow.
bryan callen
He trains big cats.
brendan schaub
Look at this fucking idiot.
bryan callen
He says they will warn you.
joe rogan
What is this?
Is this the same guy?
brendan schaub
Dude, those are wild wolves?
joe rogan
No, no, this isn't the same guy, Jamie.
No, this isn't the scientist.
The scientist was a younger guy, but this is another guy that does the same thing.
eddie bravo
This guy's pretty badass.
joe rogan
Yeah, I think that guy's living with wild wolves.
Yeah, Werner Herzog.
Werner Herzog.
brendan schaub
You like chills with him?
joe rogan
No, it's not Werner Herzog.
Werner Herzog's grizzly man.
This guy's name is Werner Frund or something like that.
It was a different guy, and I'm really pretty positive it was a younger guy.
eddie bravo
Oh shit, I'm gonna get all into this now, man.
joe rogan
It's amazing.
It's amazing.
They have a really sophisticated social system.
bryan callen
Yeah, they do.
eddie bravo
You know what I've been into lately, big time?
bryan callen
Yeah, they do.
Anyway, keep going.
eddie bravo
Did you end up seeing Making a Murderer and all that?
joe rogan
I still haven't seen it.
brendan schaub
Goddammit, Joey, still haven't seen it?
joe rogan
Yeah, I'm a rebel, bro.
brendan schaub
Yeah, you're a wild man.
joe rogan
If you talk shit to me, I'll fucking wait, bitch.
brendan schaub
But you walk wolves and bears balls deep.
joe rogan
I got a real problem with that, man.
I'm obsessed with wildlife.
Absolutely fucking obsessed.
I'm obsessed.
eddie bravo
Damn, Royce 39. Have you seen that Netflix documentary about India and the Ganges River?
joe rogan
No, what's it called?
brendan schaub
Dude, it's called Wild in India, but it's on Netflix.
joe rogan
Wild in India?
eddie bravo
The Ganges River is insane.
Very dirty.
It comes from...
No, but listen, it's not that dirty.
This is the crazy part about it, is all that river comes from the Himalayas, all the ice and the glaciers in the Himalayas.
brendan schaub
Wild in India?
eddie bravo
Something like that on Netflix about India.
But the part about the Ganges River, it's a magical fucking river.
They burn dead bodies in there.
They throw trash, sewage, everything.
But there's something...
joe rogan
It's called Wildest.
Wildest India.
unidentified
Yes, yes.
eddie bravo
There's something about that water.
It has so much mineral composition that...
It's like an antibacterial water.
brendan schaub
It kills all the bacteria and the pathogens.
eddie bravo
According to this documentary that could be full of shit on Netflix, but they're saying that there's so much sewage goes into there, but it cleanses itself.
You can still drink it.
You can be down the river, people still drink it.
bryan callen
Well, it's not true, because my friend jumped in and had an earache for two years.
unidentified
Dude, I said according to this documentary.
brendan schaub
This might be some white-on-white crime right now.
joe rogan
Do you remember my bit about the Sundarbans?
brendan schaub
This is going to be fast.
bryan callen
The Sundarbans is no joke, huh?
joe rogan
Do you remember that bit I used to have, Eddie, about the guy who got killed in a boat?
There was a boat.
unidentified
There was five dudes.
bryan callen
With the tigers?
joe rogan
Yeah, they swam out to the boat and killed these guys individually, one by one, and dragged them back to the shore.
The tigers swam out to the boat three times.
brendan schaub
Oh, I remember that.
You told me that.
unidentified
Three times.
eddie bravo
There's a documentary that talks about that.
bryan callen
They couldn't get out of the way.
eddie bravo
That's the only spot on the world where tigers actively hunt humans.
They love the taste of humans.
brendan schaub
Fuck that noise.
joe rogan
Where's that at?
India.
brendan schaub
Don't go to India.
eddie bravo
Oh, I ain't going.
But they got great documentaries about it.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I'll watch that shit.
joe rogan
Well, they've killed literally hundreds of thousands of people over the last hundred years.
brendan schaub
Hundreds of thousands?
unidentified
Yeah.
bryan callen
Over the last hundred years.
joe rogan
Tigers?
Yeah, they have some nutty number.
brendan schaub
It's not the worst way to go.
joe rogan
Over the last 200 years, I think the number is like 300,000.
I quoted the number honestly and realistically in my comedy special.
That was in Talking Monkeys in Space.
They fucking killed this guy, dragged him to shore, and then jumped back in the water, killed another guy, dragged him to shore, jumped back in the water, killed another guy, dragged him to shore.
They couldn't swim away.
These things are so fast.
They can swim faster than five guys can row a boat at full speed.
brendan schaub
Is there anything scarier?
bryan callen
There's a great book called The Man Eaters of Kumon.
Read The Man Eaters of Kumon about tigers.
Fuck Jason.
That's worse than Jason.
joe rogan
Dude, crocodiles don't fuck with them.
Crocodiles don't fuck with tigers.
brendan schaub
Rochelt's running from Roy Nelson like he's a tiger right now.
joe rogan
Well, Roy Nelson is a dangerous dude.
bryan callen
Dude.
joe rogan
Roy Nelson throws fucking hammers.
You want to talk about a guy who's always been known as a jiu-jitsu guy?
brendan schaub
He throws fucking fire.
joe rogan
Eddie and I knew Roy Nelson back when he was just big country.
Everybody called him big country and he was a jiu-jitsu guy.
Oh, Jesus, that fucking haymaker.
eddie bravo
Back in the Mark Lehman days.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bryan callen
It's getting low here.
brendan schaub
Now, are these guys gonna get a Versace contract?
unidentified
Yes.
joe rogan
He should.
If Versace was fucking smart, they would try to get in on that chubby band dollars.
brendan schaub
For real, is that dad bod?
joe rogan
Come on, folks.
Why does everybody have to be beautiful?
Roy Nelson in a fucking fat suit with a cigar in his hand.
brendan schaub
He's sick.
joe rogan
His wife on his arm.
brendan schaub
Dick hanging out.
joe rogan
Listen, people love that guy.
I really believe absolutely 100% that he's under-marketed by a lot of companies.
Companies should scoop that guy up.
eddie bravo
Schlitz.
joe rogan
Burger King was a lot of people.
But not even as a joke like that, but just like a good company.
unidentified
He's a man.
joe rogan
He's a fucking man.
brendan schaub
He has the most knockout bonuses in UFC history for heavyweight.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's a fucking man.
He's an animal.
Look at that.
brendan schaub
He has a grown man running from him.
joe rogan
Yeah.
I mean, this motherfucker throws hammers.
Do you remember when he knocked out Mitrione?
eddie bravo
Jesus Christ!
brendan schaub
Dude, he knocked out Noguera like he was a fucking paper cutout.
joe rogan
Is he the hardest guy that's ever hit you?
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
eddie bravo
That was hot.
brendan schaub
Damn, look at Rochelle.
joe rogan
Rochelle can take it.
He's like, fuck you, bitch.
brendan schaub
Rochelle's about to get knocked out.
eddie bravo
I think Rochelle is an elite wrestler, right?
brendan schaub
Yeah, Oklahoma State national champ.
But heavyweight national champ, it's similar to sumo wrestling.
I hate to be shitty about it, but it really is.
It really is.
joe rogan
Until Brock Lesnar's in your division.
brendan schaub
Bro, that was 20 years ago.
I'm talking about now with the big old fat boys.
joe rogan
What's the difference between now and then?
Like if Brock Lesnar was around today, is it possible to still have a guy like that?
brendan schaub
There's no Brock's out there anymore.
joe rogan
How come?
brendan schaub
I don't know.
joe rogan
Let's ask that.
eddie bravo
You follow college wrestling?
brendan schaub
I watch the finals every year.
bryan callen
Harsley, he's an evolution.
He's a freak.
He's a blonde silverback.
joe rogan
I don't know what the fuck he is.
Is it evolution?
Are we seeing the last of the Viking DNA? Because he has a regular-sized wife.
brendan schaub
Guys are going straight emo now.
Yeah, probably.
joe rogan
Well, he has a regular-sized wife.
I'm sure his children would be fucking gigantic.
unidentified
Maybe.
joe rogan
His wife was a pro wrestler, right?
Whose wife?
She was a pro wrestler.
brendan schaub
She was Sable.
She was Sable.
And she was fucking...
Fine, son.
unidentified
Beautiful.
joe rogan
Beautiful.
He did well.
He did well for himself.
brendan schaub
Do I have a calendar?
I used to jack off to middle school.
joe rogan
How dare you say that about his wife?
brendan schaub
No, it's a good thing.
joe rogan
You son of a bitch!
eddie bravo
Hey, bring it, bitch!
brendan schaub
You don't do shit.
You fake fight.
joe rogan
Oh, how dare you.
It's true.
Dude, boy, if you met him in an alley, he's like one of the worst people you could run into for a brief exchange.
unidentified
Dude, he'd rape me.
brendan schaub
Let's be real.
He'd rape me.
bryan callen
And I'd have to do something.
I'd have to jump on his back.
Don't, Brock.
joe rogan
I'd have to pull him aside and say, listen.
bryan callen
Look at her.
joe rogan
That's his wife.
Okay, perfect.
bryan callen
His kids are going to be freaks.
joe rogan
His kids will probably still be freaks.
So when his kids grow to be about 18 years old, we'll start getting nervous again.
brendan schaub
We'll start getting nervous again.
bryan callen
That is impressive.
brendan schaub
There's no Brock Lesnar out there right now.
bryan callen
She's beautiful.
joe rogan
Look at that.
Well, who was that dude that just fought?
That kickboxer dude.
Black gentleman from...
Was he from Africa?
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
In the UFC? Yeah.
You're talking about the dude from France.
joe rogan
From France.
That's right.
brendan schaub
He was like a shittier looking Czech Congo.
With dreads.
joe rogan
Nasty power.
Nasty power.
brendan schaub
For sure take him down.
joe rogan
Yeah, well he got taken down the first round.
Who was that?
Jamie?
Who was that, Jamie?
brendan schaub
Sable, though, was the hottest.
I haven't talked about her in forever.
bryan callen
Sable.
joe rogan
Okay, if you can get, like, Gabby Garcia and Shane Carwin to have a kid.
Good lordy, Miss Claudia.
What would we have?
What would we have?
unidentified
Who?
joe rogan
Who again?
Shane Carwin and Gabby Garcia.
unidentified
Oh, shit.
joe rogan
Oh, shit.
You got a woman who's six foot four.
Are you periscoping, you fuck?
bryan callen
No.
unidentified
Periscope.
What are you doing?
bryan callen
I have a periscope.
brendan schaub
He doesn't know what a periscope is.
He has no idea.
joe rogan
Shane Carwin and Gabby Garcia have a baby.
brendan schaub
You think that's a...
No, no, no.
joe rogan
It's an ultimate super athlete.
brendan schaub
No, bro.
Fuck that noise.
joe rogan
How dare you?
brendan schaub
No, no.
Check this out.
Shane Carwin and Serena Williams.
joe rogan
Oh, you're right.
You're right.
Interracial as well.
bryan callen
Yes!
joe rogan
Yeah, there's just a lot of emotional power to both sides combining together in one furious union of athleticism.
brendan schaub
And you just send that kid to the hood.
joe rogan
No, no, no, no.
brendan schaub
No, you don't make him rich and happy.
You send him just...
joe rogan
They might not make it out of there, though.
brendan schaub
Nah, they'll figure it out.
unidentified
I don't know, man.
joe rogan
That's a risk.
bryan callen
Ha ha!
joe rogan
You have to make more than one.
brendan schaub
How ridiculous do we get on this fucking convention?
joe rogan
This podcast is ridiculous.
bryan callen
I'm looking up Sable as we should be outlawed.
eddie bravo
What was that movie?
Remember that guy?
Was it Mask?
The guy who was born with a deformity?
brendan schaub
You're talking about with Cher?
joe rogan
Yeah.
eddie bravo
With Cher.
brendan schaub
That's Mask.
joe rogan
What'd you say?
unidentified
The bear guy.
joe rogan
The bear guy?
Meet Sulu the bear man.
Oh, okay.
It's a new bear guy.
brendan schaub
And his face got ripped off too?
joe rogan
Did he get killed?
bryan callen
Oh, boy.
joe rogan
Do you know, Jamie, or are you guessing?
brendan schaub
They kind of deserve it, though, yeah?
joe rogan
Find out if he got killed.
brendan schaub
Hey, bitch, don't give the beer watermelon, huh?
joe rogan
Well, here's the thing about bears, man.
Bears can be a lot like dogs if they're, like, really taken care of.
If you feed them and love them.
Like, people have lived with bears, where they, like, swim with bears.
But you've got to be with them from the time they're a baby.
They can never be feral.
And you've got to be able to raise them and give them love so they sort of have to identify with you.
Get a dog!
But they imprint on you.
But they're like a dog in a lot of ways.
I agree with you.
It's always a risk because you're dealing with something that like one generation removed was completely wild.
Like you could easily have a grizzly bear where the mother grizzly bear had to fight for its life against a mountain lion that was trying to kill its baby.
You know, that's totally possible.
And then here it is, like one generation later, you got the pup and it's living in your house.
brendan schaub
Tell you right now, I'd rather chill with those grizzly bears than some of those chimpanzees and shit in my house.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a good call.
Chimpanzees might decide to fuck you.
brendan schaub
Ain't shit you do about it.
At least the bears are just gonna rip my throat out.
eddie bravo
Chimpanzees just fucking hold you around.
brendan schaub
Yeah, that chimp wants to bust a nut in my ass.
He's gonna do it.
eddie bravo
If you're on the verge of suicide, if you want to commit suicide, then that might be a good idea.
You know what?
Since you're gonna kill yourself, why not go fucking live with lions?
brendan schaub
That's what I'm saying, Eddie.
unidentified
You know what I mean?
eddie bravo
See what happens, and then if they kill you, whatever, you were gonna kill yourself anyways.
bryan callen
That's a guy in South Africa who lives with 21 Lions and wrestles with them and stuff.
eddie bravo
Yeah, might as well.
brendan schaub
Good luck.
You absolutely turn out great.
bryan callen
Yeah, that works out.
eddie bravo
Are you suicidal?
Call this number now.
bryan callen
Guys, dudes will do whatever they can to separate themselves from the past.
eddie bravo
Dude, they're scientists that are like, they want to gain data that, like, you gotta be suicidal to go into those motherfucking dens.
joe rogan
Did Rochal catch Roy?
Is that what you were doing?
bryan callen
No, he fell.
He slipped.
brendan schaub
He slipped.
I'm surprised you're not trying to grapple more.
joe rogan
I do that all the time, and I get embarrassed when I go, OH! And something won't land.
unidentified
So it slipped.
joe rogan
OH! And I'm a professional.
Like, I'm at the fights, calling the fight, and someone throws a head kick and it doesn't land.
But it looks like it's gonna land, but at the last minute it gets away.
I'm like, oh my god.
But it's genuine, I swear to god, folks.
brendan schaub
I swear to god, it slipped.
It's tough, though.
joe rogan
When I yell, OH! I don't do that accidentally.
I mean, I don't do that artificially.
This looks like a good-ass fight.
bryan callen
These guys look like they're completely related.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, they're definitely the same species.
brendan schaub
They look like brothers.
bryan callen
They look like the exact same species.
Exact same species.
joe rogan
This isn't confusing.
bryan callen
At all.
joe rogan
You know?
bryan callen
Good thing he has a beard, because I wouldn't know.
I'd be like, huh?
joe rogan
Remember when Keith Hackney fought Emmanuel Yarbrough?
bryan callen
Do I ever.
joe rogan
You're like, okay, what's going on here?
These things are so not similar in their size.
These two individuals.
unidentified
They're both picked.
eddie bravo
They're both picked.
brendan schaub
These two individuals.
eddie bravo
Rochelle looks like a supermodel version of the mask, right?
unidentified
Oh!
joe rogan
That's what you were gonna say!
unidentified
You son of a bitch!
joe rogan
That's fucked up!
bryan callen
Supermodel version!
It's nothing sacred!
It's nothing sacred here!
Come on!
eddie bravo
How is that talking shit?
I said you look like a supermodel!
brendan schaub
Of the mask!
unidentified
Oh my god!
brendan schaub
Of the guy from The Cher Show!
joe rogan
This is my favorite show of all time!
bryan callen
Yes, yes, yes!
Of The Cher Show!
Goddammit, Eddie!
joe rogan
Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, look!
bryan callen
Dammit, Eddie!
unidentified
Look, look!
bryan callen
That's terrible.
That's probably the greatest thing I've ever heard.
eddie bravo
Supermodel!
unidentified
All right.
joe rogan
Oh, that's so funny.
bryan callen
I'm not talking about Zoolander.
eddie bravo
I'm not talking about a joke in Zoolander.
I'm talking about, like, Alan Juban.
bryan callen
It's his better looking brother.
joe rogan
Marcus Schakenberg.
Let me say something, man.
Your joke is so cool.
eddie bravo
Marcus Schakenberg.
joe rogan
It's going to cost Roy Nelson this fight.
The karma of your joke is so cruel.
brendan schaub
It's not a joke.
joe rogan
It's a compliment.
You might have fucked over Roy Nelson.
unidentified
It's a compliment.
bryan callen
Here's a trivia question.
Who is the actor who played him?
brendan schaub
He's the real dude.
eddie bravo
Come on, man.
brendan schaub
That's not makeup.
That's a real dude.
He passed away.
bryan callen
No, I thought that was Eric Stoltz.
joe rogan
No, no, no, no.
bryan callen
It's Eric Stoltz.
joe rogan
No, no, that's Eric Stoltz.
bryan callen
Yeah.
Are you sure?
Goddammit, Brennan.
brendan schaub
How bad did that make you feel?
bryan callen
I was like, oh, no.
No, I knew it was Eric Stoltz.
joe rogan
Here's a little jujitsu trivia.
Powder.
Remember that dude?
Sean Patrick.
You made a black belt in jujitsu.
Legit black belt.
Under Sean Williams?
Yeah.
Sean Williams, Henjo Gracie, black belt.
Legit lineage.
bryan callen
That's a big deal, man.
brendan schaub
Did Powder do anything after Powder?
joe rogan
Well, here's the deal, dude.
Did he need to?
The guy who directed Powder was a guy who was like, There was some controversy about some alleged child molestation charges, which made Powder a really weird movie.
Because Powder was kind of like a Nambla love story to a lot of people.
There was a whole conspiracy about that.
That guy got in trouble.
It wasn't a little thing.
Like, he got in, like, real criminal trouble.
I do not remember the specifics.
bryan callen
Holy shit, I didn't know that.
joe rogan
I do not remember the specifics.
Is there a documentary on that?
I don't think there is, but there's...
bryan callen
Netflix!
joe rogan
Netflix!
eddie bravo
You're fucking slipping!
joe rogan
Here, hold on a second.
Here we go.
jamie vernon
Barry Crimmins was the one we were talking about it, I believe.
eddie bravo
Get on the case, Netflix.
joe rogan
Barry Crimmins, was he talking about that?
He was talking about AOL. Barry Crimmins was talking about AOL, how child molesters were selling things to AOL, but Barry Crimmins did comment about that guy on a...
Was it on a podcast or was it on Twitter?
unidentified
I thought that's how I heard about it.
joe rogan
Maybe.
You might be right.
You might be right.
I had known about it before that.
There was a big article that was about it, I want to say, like, two years ago.
But, yeah, Barry, of course, if you don't know who Barry Crimmins is, he's a Boston comedy legend, and he had a Bobcat Goldthwait do a documentary called Call Me Lucky, and it's about him getting molested when he was a kid.
It's horrific, man.
He was four years old.
He was four years old, and his babysitter's boyfriend would fuck him.
God damn.
brendan schaub
Why'd you bring the podcast down like this?
joe rogan
Dude, you gotta see it.
Call me Lucky, he's an amazing doctor.
Here's the guy.
Look at this.
Victor Salva loves terrorizing semi-naked youths.
Look at him!
brendan schaub
No shit!
bryan callen
But they're semi-naked.
Don't be pussies.
joe rogan
That's from 2012 from Vice.
Better than naked.
bryan callen
Take your shirt off.
Ready?
unidentified
Boom!
brendan schaub
Boom!
bryan callen
What do you mean terrorizing?
unidentified
Semi sounds like bottoms on, tops off.
bryan callen
Exactly.
Take your pants off, move around, and I might kick you.
I don't know.
eddie bravo
I might.
brendan schaub
Damn, Roy's going for the shake kill now.
joe rogan
Three for three.
eddie bravo
Roy had appeared before it was cool.
People think he's a hipster.
joe rogan
Went for a takedown, did not get it.
brendan schaub
Roy's wrestling's underrated.
Look what he did to Barnett that time.
joe rogan
Well, he has a loss on his record that I think is one of the most unfair stand-ups ever.
brendan schaub
Arlovsky?
joe rogan
Against Arlovsky.
Side control, working on a Kimura.
He has a full double wrist lock.
He has the double wrist lock.
He doesn't have the lock, right?
Because he has to get it locked...
Turn behind the back on a strong guy.
It's all set up though.
Camorra's an interesting move because Marcelo Garcia doesn't like to do it because he thinks it's a strong man move.
He doesn't incorporate it.
He's all about chokes.
He's all about whatever he does has to work on everybody.
What do you think about that?
eddie bravo
Nothing wrong with that at all.
brendan schaub
That's a weird way to think.
eddie bravo
But he doesn't believe in any kind of chokes with Armin, like arm triangles or AK side choke or Darces or Japanese necktie.
But I understand.
I understand.
unidentified
Really?
eddie bravo
I totally understand that, hey, shit, if you only focus, you take that time, everybody has the same amount of time to drill.
Everyone has the same time.
Everyone has 24 hours in a day.
Everyone has a life.
Everyone...
Everyone has the same motherfucking time generally.
What are you gonna do with that block every day when you break it all down?
What are you gonna do with that block?
If you say, why don't you save all that time for shit that works on the big guys?
If it works on the big guys, it's gonna work on the small guys.
So let's just work on that.
There's nothing wrong with that at motherfucking all.
That's brilliant.
That's genius.
Me personally, I like working on everything that works on guys that Have, like, 15 pounds on you.
You know what I mean?
Because you're gonna be rolling a lot with guys that are your size, and maybe, as long as it works on guys that have a little weight on you, I'm into those moves.
brendan schaub
To me, that's a legit move.
eddie bravo
If it works on a guy that's around your size at a high level, I want that move in my character.
bryan callen
Henson used to talk about that.
He would work on chokes.
He said, chokes always work.
Whereas other stuff, you know, is tricky.
eddie bravo
But there's a difference between arm and chokes, like Darces, Japanese neckties, arm and guillotines, and then straight neck chokes, like Marcella teens, and all these weird little fucking things like Rothwell on Barnett.
There's all these ninja chokes and shit.
There's about 23 motherfucking ways to squeeze a neck.
bryan callen
Yeah.
eddie bravo
To make a motherfucker tap.
bryan callen
Yeah.
eddie bravo
You know what I mean?
So all those take special time to get good at.
Just because you're good at one of the 23 has nothing to do with are you good at this one or are you good at that one.
You gotta spend the same amount of time on that shit.
It might give you a little boost if you're really good at this one.
Then you'll get really good at this one quicker than a guy who's not good at that one.
But, generally, you gotta spend time in all these chokes to master them.
joe rogan
Eddie, let me ask this before I forget.
Who was that?
There was one choke that I saw only once in the UFC. It was a choke, like, almost similar to a go-go plata by a kid who was a Tiger Showman student.
unidentified
Nick?
joe rogan
Nick something or another?
brendan schaub
Was that in the UFC? Yes.
joe rogan
He had some crazy choke and he said that he invented it while it was going on.
He's like, I invented it in the fight.
eddie bravo
I have no idea what that is.
joe rogan
Do you know what I'm talking about?
eddie bravo
I know what I'm talking about, but I couldn't show you.
Guys show me techniques all the goddamn time and I'm like, shit, I should have videotaped that because that shit's gone.
bryan callen
If you don't videotaped that, it's gone.
eddie bravo
Is jiu-jitsu growing any?
joe rogan
There it is, Nick Pace.
Yeah, Nick Pace.
eddie bravo
He did some crazy...
joe rogan
Let's see if you can find the submission, because it was some weird leg submission.
eddie bravo
I don't remember.
I couldn't show you.
joe rogan
Well, I remember it had something to do with a shin across the neck.
brendan schaub
It was a leg submission?
joe rogan
No, no, no.
It was a neck.
It was a choke.
It was some weird choke that had to do with some weird omoplata-type setup, and he wound up in some position with his shin underneath this guy's neck in an unconventional way that I don't necessarily remember.
I'd have to see it again.
But I remember saying, have you done that before?
And he said, that was the first time he ever did it.
bryan callen
Is there a huge difference between guys?
That's crazy.
Is there a huge difference between really good guys now and 10 years ago?
joe rogan
Oh, fuck yeah.
bryan callen
Jiu-jitsu-wise, like all different techniques?
eddie bravo
That's like saying, is there a difference in stand-up comedy now, in general, as in the 80s?
Come on, in the 80s, there was a difference.
brendan schaub
Right.
bryan callen
You know what I mean?
eddie bravo
Same thing.
brendan schaub
Same Russian comedy?
joe rogan
Hey Eddie, look up behind you.
That's the choke.
Nick Pace is gonna show us the choke.
Why does it look so crappy, Jamie?
See, look at this.
He grabs it like this.
He throws the leg over the neck, and then he shoots under like this, and he grabs his ankle.
Look at this.
eddie bravo
That's gun show control.
It's called gun show.
joe rogan
But he chokes him from here.
eddie bravo
Yep, yep.
I got a guy, Ben Eddy, who does this shit.
joe rogan
Yeah.
All the time.
All the time.
He came up with this on the fly in the UFC. Damn.
And now he calls it the pace joke.
I don't recall...
bryan callen
That guy's hair is great.
joe rogan
Who do not do that?
unidentified
I don't believe...
That's legit.
joe rogan
Is that Lewis Gowden now?
eddie bravo
Well, that's legit.
joe rogan
Is that Gowden?
eddie bravo
That's really legit.
unidentified
I got a guy...
bryan callen
Maybe not that hair, though.
joe rogan
I got a guy whose style is based off that control.
brendan schaub
You just said it looks nice, fuck.
bryan callen
No, but I'm being sarcastic.
eddie bravo
There's guys that spend a lot of time there.
bryan callen
That's an atomic green.
joe rogan
Those guys...
Tiger Shulman, for a lot of people who don't know, those guys were a giant karate chain.
In the East Coast.
bryan callen
You see them in New York all the time.
joe rogan
They didn't think of them as legit, necessarily, because they thought, well, most giant karate schools aren't legit.
However, they are legit.
I mean, think Uriah Hall, this fucking kid, Nick Pace came from there.
That guy who won last, Frankie Rivera, the guy who won last week against Yuri Alcantara, he's from there.
Jimmy Rivera.
There's a lot of fucking really high-level guys from Tiger Shulman's.
Tiger Shulman, Uriah Hall is, look, his kickbox, or his stand-up is ridiculous.
His karate skills, fucking ridiculous.
That spinning back kick to the face that he caught Gegard with, he's nasty.
That's all Tiger Shulman, man.
It's amazing.
And this Nick Pace kid.
They're one of the few big name schools that was a whole chain that became a real legit gym.
unidentified
That's cool.
eddie bravo
They're a karate chain.
The one karate chain.
Maybe there's others that did it.
I'm sure there are.
But Tiger Schulman's was a straight, dominant karate chain.
And when they saw MMA unfold...
brendan schaub
They jumped on.
eddie bravo
They were like, okay, we need some jujitsu.
We need some of that.
We need some of that.
So Tiger Showman is open-minded, modern.
bryan callen
The other way to look at it also is that you have that big a school, there are always going to be some superstars who are going to come through.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
Their training is really good.
It's not just that.
eddie bravo
They evolved when most other martial arts, most other traditional martial arts associations didn't evolve.
Tiger Showman was all about evolution.
Most, most Roy once, son.
Traditional martial arts associations are not into evolving because the people at the top, they're fucking lazy.
Powerful Roy Nelson.
Because they would have to learn all this new shit.
joe rogan
Look at this.
eddie bravo
They don't want to do it.
joe rogan
Who does this?
Who gets on top of a top row, pulls his shirt up, and rubs his belly?
eddie bravo
Homer Simpson does that shit all day.
brendan schaub
It's tough after a decision.
joe rogan
Stipe Miocic in the motherfucking house.
brendan schaub
Ooh, Stipe got that new girl.
joe rogan
Hey, easy.
Girl.
Dude.
brendan schaub
God damn it.
It's the wine.
unidentified
Yeah.
bryan callen
Handsome guy.
He's a handsome guy.
I got Stipe as a very handsome man.
eddie bravo
Come on, man.
We spent 20 minutes on Alan Juban and you're going to talk about Stipe.
bryan callen
Stipe's a handsome guy.
He's a big, handsome man.
joe rogan
Let's be honest.
This is...
This has been one of the least fight-heavy fight companions ever.
We've barely paid attention to these fights.
bryan callen
By the way, Conor McGregor is bigger than Dos Anjos.
eddie bravo
Is this the gayest one ever?
joe rogan
No, definitely not.
eddie bravo
Is that we've been gayer?
Have we been gayer?
joe rogan
Whenever Brian's here, it gets gay.
Yeah, it gets gay.
I can't help it.
eddie bravo
The dream about your boyfriend.
unidentified
I can hear that over and over and over.
eddie bravo
Have you had another dream?
Was that the only dream?
That was the only one.
bryan callen
So far, the only dream.
brendan schaub
I can't wait for Conor Dos Anjos.
joe rogan
What do you think?
bryan callen
Conor's bigger than Dos Anjos.
How about that?
unidentified
How about Dana saying that Conor has no chance?
eddie bravo
What's up with that?
unidentified
That's crazy.
brendan schaub
Dana didn't say that.
joe rogan
No, he didn't.
eddie bravo
Oh, he didn't?
joe rogan
No.
eddie bravo
Oh, he didn't?
Okay, because that's what it says in the underground.
joe rogan
I apologize.
I think what he said was, I have a hard time seeing Conor win this fight.
I'm paraphrasing.
He's being honest.
He's being honest.
unidentified
What did I say?
brendan schaub
No, no, no.
It's called honeydicking.
eddie bravo
What did I say?
brendan schaub
It's called honeydicking, everybody.
joe rogan
Listen, man, you cannot neglect the skills of Dos Anjos.
You can't sleep on that guy.
When I look at Dos Anjos, I look at a fucking beast, man.
The way he put away Benson Henderson, the way he put away Donald Cerrone, the way he beat the fuck out of Sergio Pettis, or excuse me, Anthony Pettis, he's something special, man.
brendan schaub
Dude, I can't think of a worse matchup for Conor, but Conor, you talk to Conor, he thinks that it's a legit, he goes, ah, he's just like Jose Aldo, but shittier version.
eddie bravo
Do you think he's really trying to start his own promotion?
Do you think that's legit, or that's bullshit?
bryan callen
What's Conor gonna do about his wrestling?
What's he gonna do about his wrestling?
eddie bravo
That's real.
brendan schaub
I think so, he has the power.
eddie bravo
He's actually saying, Did he actually say he's going to start his own promotion?
joe rogan
Listen, man, if I was Conor McGregor, why would I work for the UFC after a while?
I would go, I'm just going to do the Conor McGregor show.
Take that shit in the road with all the best concert promoters.
unidentified
So it's real?
joe rogan
I would imagine.
brendan schaub
Is that real?
eddie bravo
You guys know, I don't know.
joe rogan
I would imagine if Conor McGregor has a contract that would allow him at a certain time to no longer be with the UFC, he could do whatever the fuck he wants.
bryan callen
He can take the sport with him.
joe rogan
But, here's the question.
Why would he?
brendan schaub
How dare you ghost those last two fights on that main event?
joe rogan
Ghost him?
What?
What'd you say?
bryan callen
Amanda Nunez is no joke.
joe rogan
Let's not talk about that right now.
What I'm saying about Conor is that Conor is a fucking legit superstar.
But the UFC made him a superstar.
The UFC is the perfect vehicle.
They've got everything down.
The promotion, the management, the way it's all set up, the way the marketing is on point, it's on another level.
If you go to some other organization, good luck running a smooth ship.
What happened to Affliction?
What happened to Elite XC? What happened to Strikeforce?
brendan schaub
Bellator even.
eddie bravo
Bottom line, bottom line.
joe rogan
This is the bottom line.
eddie bravo
Conor McGregor would be unknown to the world in Ireland training in a boxing gym if it wasn't for the UFC. I agree 100%.
You've got to remember that shit.
The UFC made him famous.
brendan schaub
Agree?
He still deserves the money.
joe rogan
It was a cooperative venture.
There's no either or.
They're not mutually exclusive in their amount of success that was dependent upon their actions.
brendan schaub
They both benefit from the relationship.
eddie bravo
No, make no mistake about it.
The UFC would always be big.
It would always be big.
If there was never a Conor, the UFC would be just as big.
joe rogan
But never as big as with a guy like that.
If you want to be as big as what that guy is, you need a Conor McGregor.
It's the only way it happens.
eddie bravo
No doubt about it.
Or Ronda.
brendan schaub
Or Brock Lesnar.
Yeah.
eddie bravo
I've always been fucking fascinated with Conor.
bryan callen
Maybe GSP today?
joe rogan
Maybe GSP today.
bryan callen
Why?
Why do you say that?
joe rogan
Because I think the UFC today is bigger than it's ever been.
Oh, you're saying a young GSP? A young GSP today, if he was a champion, goddammit, girls would be...
Fucking damp panties would be filling up 100,000 seat arenas.
He's a stud.
bryan callen
He's a stud.
joe rogan
He's so big.
GSP was in his prime when he beat BJ Penn for defending his title.
When he was in his prime.
If the UFC was...
I think the UFC's probably...
I don't know how many more people watch it now than then, but as far as being well-known, it's way more well-known.
brendan schaub
I agree.
joe rogan
Way more.
eddie bravo
What about BJ Penn coming back?
joe rogan
What the fuck?
bryan callen
Amazing.
eddie bravo
That's crazy, right?
He did the right thing.
He went to fucking Greg Jackson.
God damn it.
He thought about it.
He's sitting there and fucking on Hilo, chilling the volcanoes outside the fucking window.
He thought about it and he knew it.
He came back.
What did he fucking do?
He goes to Greg Jackson.
I mean, he did the best fucking thing possible.
I mean, he could have went to AKA, he could have went to Tristar, all that shit.
But he decided to go to one of the top fucking schools.
Greg Jackson's not a bad goddamn choice.
joe rogan
Oh, it's the best choice.
eddie bravo
Come on!
joe rogan
Well, it's one of like five best choices.
unidentified
Yes!
joe rogan
Like, Eric Del Fiero, down at the Lions, that's a best choice.
You've got Firas Zahabi, who is probably my first choice, or one of them.
brendan schaub
He'd be my number one.
bryan callen
Him or Lisa As a striking coach, you mean?
joe rogan
As an everything coach.
eddie bravo
Farras is a mastermind.
joe rogan
John Donahue is another mastermind.
eddie bravo
That's Farras, though.
I think Donahue is with Farras.
brendan schaub
Number one, Mighty Mouse is coach.
bryan callen
Matt Hume.
joe rogan
So you're right.
Matt Hume and Farras, a hobby, to me, are commensurate.
I think they're exactly the same level.
They're both wizards.
Both are masters.
Both those guys, they're masters.
Matt Hume had more MMA fights, I think.
Feras had a lot of kickboxing fights.
But Feras is nasty on the ground, and he's a super genius.
When it comes to his analytical mind, the way he breaks down fights, he breaks down street fights.
He does YouTube videos where he breaks down...
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah, he breaks down how this guy came at a guy, and he cracked this guy with a left hook, and he explains the footwork, and draws it in a diagram.
brendan schaub
He's also young.
eddie bravo
And you know what he also did?
joe rogan
He's smart as fuck.
unidentified
He's cool.
You know what he did?
brendan schaub
He's younger, and he's been through it like he came up with everyone.
eddie bravo
You know the coolest fucking thing he did?
He just put out a video where he's testing guard work and ground and pound on guards.
What guard works best for ground and pound?
He did this shit.
He put it on YouTube.
He put it up.
So he had him.
Him.
Gary Toten and I think Gordon Ryan, they had some dude jump with boxing gloves, jump in their guard and start pounding them.
And in the video, the guys on the bottom, whether it was Faraz, Gary Toten, or I think it was Gordon, I don't fucking know who that third guy was.
But they were just wrecking the guy on top with leg locks, just a bunch of different things.
It was like a revolutionary experimentation, one of the smartest things you could ever do.
joe rogan
Makes sense.
eddie bravo
He needs to, I think we should add, there's different scenarios in ground and pound.
It's not always the same, ground and pound.
Sometimes a guy's on top, he doesn't want to even be on the ground.
So if you're not holding him on the ground, he's going to stand up and back out.
You have to have that, that scenario too.
What happens in that scenario?
For a guy that's on top in your guard, you must have pulled guard because he didn't try to take you down.
He wants to stay on his feet.
So as soon as you open your guard, he's going to back out and he's gone.
So what guard is best for that scenario?
And there's another scenario also.
You have the scenario where your opponent is getting beat up on his feet.
So he's taking you down at will and you have to deal with a guy who's trying not to let you stand up.
So I think...
Version two of those ground and pound experimentations.
I thought it was seven or something.
To figure out what's the best guard.
brendan schaub
I think that's my two cents.
eddie bravo
But what the fuck do I know?
I don't know.
But the fact that Feras actually did that, he's already experimenting on what is the best guard for ground and pound.
It's brilliant.
I love it.
unidentified
I want more.
I want more.
joe rogan
He makes his UFC debut.
But I could have swore.
brendan schaub
Eddie, you trying to bet on this main event, son?
eddie bravo
I'm trying to...
brendan schaub
You want to break down the girl again?
joe rogan
You make a good point, Eddie, and you know what another good point?
Ryan Callahan talked about Fabrizio Verdum's guard, and he was like, none of our ground and pound worked on him.
With King Mo, who's a nasty wrestler.
King Mo's like world-class wrestler.
eddie bravo
We need more of those films than Ferraz did.
We need those on a consistent basis.
joe rogan
Here's the thing, though, Eddie.
I think there's only like five guys who can do that.
I mean, that's how high in regard I hold Ferraz the hobby.
brendan schaub
His stand-up's ridiculous, too.
joe rogan
Ridiculous.
He's just a real martial arts wizard.
He's a super smart guy.
You ever talk to him?
eddie bravo
I've trained with him.
joe rogan
Tell me what that's like.
brendan schaub
He honestly set the blueprint for everyone in Denver, like Shane Carwin, myself, Nate McCart, in the blueprint for GSP. He had them doing all this different stuff.
bryan callen
A lot of movement.
brendan schaub
He's a genius, man.
joe rogan
Like what kind of shit?
bryan callen
Like walking on logs.
unidentified
No, definitely know that movement shit.
brendan schaub
No movement!
joe rogan
Playing when I was a kid.
brendan schaub
Playing with rocks.
A lot of the drilling.
You have George drill a ton.
More than we would drill.
unidentified
Drill what?
brendan schaub
Movement?
Instead of just sparring.
No, drilling on the pads, jiu-jitsu movements, starting worst case scenario, where we weren't doing that.
He's a legit genius.
joe rogan
I think that's one of the biggest mistakes that people make is too much sparring, even in jiu-jitsu.
I was talking to a buddy of mine who's a Purple Belt about this, and he's like, he hurt his hip, and he had to get a hip replacement surgery.
And, you know, he's like our age.
He's like in his late 40s.
And he's a very successful businessman, and he went from there to going back to training again, but...
Once he healed up, he's doing drills.
And he's like, man, I'm telling you, just from doing all these drills, my jiu-jitsu has gotten much, much better.
Because now he's constantly improving upon his database of positions.
bryan callen
Patterns, right?
Patterns?
joe rogan
Yes.
brendan schaub
It's really the only way to get that.
bryan callen
A lot of it's pattern chunking, man.
joe rogan
You were talking about Henner, like a good Henner Gracie is, like pattern chunking his whole life.
He just understands jiu-jitsu.
bryan callen
Boxing's that way.
Boxing's a series of patterns, and then mixing them all up.
joe rogan
So is Taekwondo.
brendan schaub
Dude, look at Johnny Hendricks' body.
joe rogan
He looks fit.
bryan callen
Now, Johnny Hendricks beat Tyron Woodley in the NCAA... What are you saying?
joe rogan
How does he look?
brendan schaub
Johnny Hendricks looks amazing.
joe rogan
He looks slim, right?
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
He doesn't look at all like he had any sort of a weight problem.
brendan schaub
He was underweight this morning.
Or when they weighed in, he was underweight the morning of the weights.
joe rogan
That's the French guy.
This motherfucker.
unidentified
Woo!
joe rogan
Jack.
What's his name?
Francis...
brendan schaub
Francis...
joe rogan
Make that larger.
Ingano.
Man, he's a beast.
He's got some serious power.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
And good defense on the ground, too, when he got taken down.
The dude didn't do shit to him.
bryan callen
He may be French, but he's West African, sir.
joe rogan
Oh, for sure.
He's gigantic, too.
bryan callen
That's a stud.
That's a warrior.
joe rogan
When I was interviewing him, I'm like, hi.
brendan schaub
Jesus.
joe rogan
Just going to interview you over here.
I went to interview him, and he decided he wanted to walk away and go see how the guy's feeling after he beat the fuck out of him.
I'm like, okay.
brendan schaub
I'll just be over here.
You do your thing, buddy.
bryan callen
Look at him.
What a man.
brendan schaub
He fucked that dude up.
I don't know who the fuck he fought.
bryan callen
He's probably got a tiny dick, right?
joe rogan
I don't know if the guy he had fought.
Look at Joe Silva next to him.
brendan schaub
He's a debut to us.
bryan callen
Look at Joe Silva.
Look where he comes up to with these guys.
Oh my lord.
brendan schaub
But he holds their fate.
joe rogan
Listen.
bryan callen
He holds their fate.
joe rogan
Joe Silva, he's a great guy.
He just needs mushrooms.
brendan schaub
And a fucking reality check.
joe rogan
Mushrooms are a reality check, Brendan.
unidentified
Oh.
brendan schaub
I think an ass whoop him would be the same thing.
joe rogan
Oh, how dare you?
Listen, I like Joe Silva.
I have never had any ill dealings with Joe Silva.
He is my friend.
I enjoy him as a human being.
unidentified
Perfect.
joe rogan
I do not know what the fuck went down with you and Joe Silva.
brendan schaub
Me?
Ask any fighter.
joe rogan
You bitches need to work that shit out on your own.
brendan schaub
Nah, now I'm good now.
eddie bravo
Brendan, if you decide in another dimension, you decide to come back and you're going to fucking do it.
You're going to come back one more time, you're going to make a comeback.
What camp do you join and what is your strategy?
brendan schaub
It's hard to turn down Muscle Farm with Leaster Bowen right now, but I'd probably go TriStar.
joe rogan
I like Muscle Farm for a couple reasons.
One, it's a big new facility.
Everything's super state-of-the-art and it's got some momentum.
A lot of dudes are gravitating towards there.
Leister, Elliott Marshall, Dwayne Ludwig is in cahoots.
There's a lot of other really good striking coaches.
You've got Brandon Thatch.
Is Clegg Weed there now?
eddie bravo
You know why it's happening?
joe rogan
Clegg Weed is there.
eddie bravo
You know why Muscle Farm is happening?
Ryan Drexler, the guy who's running it now, he's a student of mine, and he always wanted to...
He was very successful in the supplement industry, very, very successful, and his passion was to build an MMA, too.
Years ago!
Years ago!
joe rogan
Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go.
bryan callen
Clay Guida, that fight with Diego Sanchez and Clay Guida was the craziest fight ever.
joe rogan
Hendricks and Thompson is about to start, and we gotta pay attention to this.
Okay.
This shit's important.
First of all, Hendricks, you're right.
brendan schaub
Any predictions?
joe rogan
Hendricks looks fantastic.
bryan callen
Hendricks looks so fit.
Dude, he's never looked like that.
joe rogan
He looks so fit.
bryan callen
He's got to solve that wrestling.
joe rogan
Well, he fucked up in the Tyron Woodley fight.
He didn't make weight.
Look at this fucking side stance.
This side stance is so unusual.
eddie bravo
This is so epic right now.
joe rogan
How epic is this?
And here's the thing about Stephen Thompson is that he's been training a lot with Weidman.
eddie bravo
Damn!
joe rogan
So his wrestling has gotten a lot better, and he's not worried about being taken down.
brendan schaub
Guess what?
bryan callen
He'll get taken down by Johnny.
brendan schaub
He also trains with Ryan Hall.
joe rogan
He might get taken down, but he might not.
You're talking about NCAA champ.
bryan callen
NCAA champ, that's hard to deal with.
joe rogan
Yeah, you're right.
It is hard to deal with.
You know what else is hard to deal with?
57-0 in kickboxing.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's super hard to deal with, dude.
brendan schaub
See, Johnny's wrestling's way harder.
bryan callen
Johnny's wrestling's so tough.
joe rogan
Maybe.
brendan schaub
In an MMA fight, I think the wrestling's hard to deal with.
joe rogan
Listen, we're watching it.
Let's just watch it.
We don't know what the fuck is going to happen.
You might be right, but you're saying what's definitely going to happen while it's happening.
That seems ridiculous.
brendan schaub
No, I'm just saying probability.
bryan callen
That's how I sound like a wizard.
unidentified
Are you psychic?
bryan callen
I'm a little psychic, dude.
I see things exactly one second before they happen.
joe rogan
This is the worst kind of commentary ever.
I knew that.
Imagine if we did commentary like this, saying what's going to happen while different shit is happening.
unidentified
Don't say shit!
joe rogan
He's gonna take him down, he's gonna take him down, he's gonna crush him.
unidentified
Don't predict!
joe rogan
No, he's not even taking him down.
brendan schaub
No, it's actually happening right now.
bryan callen
The predictions are making cool.
Countering, countering.
Watch this sidekicks, a lot like mine.
A lot like mine.
eddie bravo
More of that, more of that.
joe rogan
King to the face, dude, I'm telling you.
There's very few guys that can avoid the takedown like him and have these kind of skills.
It's a completely different kind of leg dexterity.
brendan schaub
His movement's nasty.
joe rogan
Dude, he used to fight in that Chuck Norris league.
Oh!
Dude, Johnny Hendrix is in a world of trouble here.
He's getting lit up.
brendan schaub
He's getting lit up like Christmas tree.
joe rogan
Thompson can do some shit that Hendrix has not seen before.
bryan callen
Yeah.
It's hard to get a sparring partner.
It's hard to get a sparring partner like this.
joe rogan
You're not going to find a guy like him.
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
You're not going to.
unidentified
And he's hard to take down.
eddie bravo
He's hard to take down.
joe rogan
He is one of the elites in American kickboxing.
eddie bravo
Oh, shit.
bryan callen
He's a freak.
Look at him, man.
unidentified
Oh, shit.
joe rogan
He fights like a snake.
eddie bravo
It's hard to deal with.
It doesn't look good at all.
bryan callen
So much taller.
Look at that step in right hand.
joe rogan
It depends on who you're looking for.
If you're looking for Thompson, it's looking excellent.
brendan schaub
Yeah, it's looking great.
joe rogan
I'm talking about Hendricks.
It's not looking good.
Hendricks is in a bad situation.
bryan callen
Hendricks is trying to throw that kick and he's getting caught.
He's getting timed.
joe rogan
He's in a terrible situation here.
eddie bravo
This is Ronda Rousey.
joe rogan
Oh, look at this switch kick!
Jumping switch kick.
Jumps with the left and kicks with the right.
Right hand on the chin.
eddie bravo
God.
unidentified
Duh!
brendan schaub
He's lighting him up.
joe rogan
And no relentless.
bryan callen
How tough is Johnny Hendricks?
He doesn't even look like he's getting hurt.
He just keeps coming forward.
joe rogan
Dude, Wonderboy might be able to do this to everybody.
How about that?
bryan callen
I've said that for a long time.
brendan schaub
I think he beats Robbie Lawler.
I'll call it now.
joe rogan
Well, he's learning how to fucking fight MMA at the same level that he learned to be this elite kickboxer.
Did I watch him in that Chuck Norris thing?
Remember the World Combat League where they were fighting that bull?
eddie bravo
He was in that?
unidentified
He was in that?
He was in that.
joe rogan
He was the champ.
I don't know if he fought in the world, but I was a fan of that Chuck Norris kickboxing league.
eddie bravo
He was the champion?
bryan callen
Look at that.
joe rogan
He was one of the best guys in it.
bryan callen
Oh my god.
joe rogan
He was one of the best guys in it.
bryan callen
Johnny's covering well.
eddie bravo
Damn, I didn't know that.
brendan schaub
Look at that right hook.
joe rogan
He just caught it with.
Dude, look at this dude.
unidentified
Oh!
joe rogan
It's over, kid.
brendan schaub
He just dropped him.
eddie bravo
It's over.
bryan callen
Oh, no.
eddie bravo
Dude, he's gonna fight by title.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
He's crushing it.
bryan callen
And he's talking to him, saying sorry.
unidentified
Oh!
bryan callen
Oh, God.
brendan schaub
Johnny just looked at the clock.
unidentified
Oh, no.
eddie bravo
It's over.
unidentified
Oh, shit.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
brendan schaub
Goddamn.
bryan callen
Oh, my God.
eddie bravo
Title shot.
joe rogan
You can't fight that guy.
Title shot.
unidentified
Title shot.
eddie bravo
I've been saying it.
bryan callen
I've been saying it.
joe rogan
Oh, look at this.
He can't even walk.
brendan schaub
Oh no, he was doing the Karate Kid.
He was never doing the Karate Kid.
unidentified
It's epic!
eddie bravo
He got you!
unidentified
Yes!
bryan callen
Dude, are you kidding me?
joe rogan
Oh my god, he double got me.
unidentified
He double got me.
joe rogan
I thought he was hurt.
bryan callen
Oh shit, son!
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
unidentified
Fuck movement!
eddie bravo
Fuck movement!
Fuck it!
joe rogan
Hey, Conor McGregor, definitely don't try to go up to 70. His movement is karate.
eddie bravo
He has minimal movement!
joe rogan
I mean, that footwork movement is just like doing all those movement drills with karate, and you see the way he does flips?
bryan callen
I guarantee you, McGregor will never say the 70-pound belt is looking good to me.
He'll never say that.
Oh, my God.
joe rogan
You don't want to fight this guy.
Dude, look at this.
Look at what he did.
Boom!
Precision typing!
eddie bravo
Oh, that one right there!
joe rogan
Look at the precision though!
The precision!
unidentified
Bam!
eddie bravo
He knew it!
joe rogan
Bam!
The uppercut!
bryan callen
Poor Johnny, man.
joe rogan
The difference in the level and he nodded at him.
Look at this.
No, he nods at him.
He's like, yep, you got me.
Dude, he got lit up.
bryan callen
Poor John.
eddie bravo
He couldn't get taken down.
He couldn't get taken down.
That was the key.
joe rogan
This is the former champion who's gone through the best camp of his life.
He's in the best shape he's ever been.
He comes in there motivated and he gets torn apart by a genius.
How do you not give him a title shot?
How do you not give him a title shot?
It has to be a title shot.
eddie bravo
We're witnessing the second wave of evolution.
unidentified
Woodley just got fucked.
eddie bravo
First, that was Machida, but we needed another one.
We needed another one.
Machida was like, okay, he's a special one.
It's still not karate.
Now, we see it.
For sure.
joe rogan
The wave coming.
bryan callen
He is the wonder boy, dude.
joe rogan
Guys, this is one round.
You can do Woodley and him for the fucking title.
Give Robbie Lawler a little bit of a break.
unidentified
Nah, man.
joe rogan
He just got through a war with Carlos Condit.
eddie bravo
Karate is back.
joe rogan
Give him some time off.
bryan callen
Karate is back.
brendan schaub
Stronger than ever.
Jesse Thompson.
Thompson Lawler.
joe rogan
Yeah, but come on, son.
Wouldn't you want to see him versus...
bryan callen
He'll light Lawler up, in my opinion.
joe rogan
That's what I'm saying, B. It's hard to take Woodley's title shot away.
It's very hard.
brendan schaub
You don't have the UFC roles.
joe rogan
I do, but I'm saying...
brendan schaub
That's six in a row.
joe rogan
In a sense of fairness, if we're going to look at a sense of fairness, it's very difficult.
eddie bravo
He's going to outstrike everybody.
joe rogan
But how much would you like to see him versus Damian Myers?
eddie bravo
He's going to outstrike everybody up.
bryan callen
I'd like to see him fight.
unidentified
If Hendricks can't take him down, Maya's not going to be able to take him down.
brendan schaub
Wonderboy, he kicks Damian Maia's face.
eddie bravo
He's going to be on a fucking island.
unidentified
He and Condit would be a good fight.
joe rogan
I've been predicting the rise of Wonderboy for a while.
Karate is back.
He had one bad fight.
brendan schaub
Four years ago.
joe rogan
He was overtrained against Matt Brown.
And since then, he's been dominant and getting better every time.
And he was smart.
He's a 170. Look at that.
He goes and trains the 185 pound champion who's one of the grittiest fucking wrestlers in the game.
He goes to Weidman's camp, Weidman's a bigger guy, and he learns how to survive.
brendan schaub
Bro, people, a lot of people don't know, Steven Wanderboy Thompson got his start from GSP. GSP was fighting Carlos Condit, brought Wanderboy in, I don't know how they met, brought him in.
And then he sent them to Denver to train with Nate, myself, all the guys, and he was just fucking everybody up.
joe rogan
Meanwhile, how about this?
One of the most marketable guys ever.
The nicest guy.
Legitimately the nicest, friendliest guy you'd ever want to meet.
Clean cut.
Doesn't look like some murderer.
brendan schaub
I hope he asked for a title shot here.
joe rogan
Like, look at him!
brendan schaub
He's gonna thank God.
I gotta thank God.
unidentified
Shh.
Jesus Christ, this kid's good.
Good sign for you, only.
bryan callen
He's religious?
There's something to this guy's shit.
eddie bravo
If this guy came up to you at a club and said he was a fucking badass striker, you'd laugh at him.
bryan callen
I'm gonna go to church and get better at fighting.
joe rogan
I knew he was gonna try and get into the cage.
eddie bravo
Use his hands to set it up for the takedown.
brendan schaub
Like, this guy's on fucking speed.
joe rogan
Look at that front leg side kick, dude.
You see the extension?
Look at that front round kick.
bryan callen
Looks a lot like mine.
joe rogan
Well, it'd be better if it wasn't.
Boom!
Boom!
Left hand.
It doesn't look anything like yours.
You shut the fuck up.
Boom!
Look at that right hand.
Dude, he's a sniper.
unidentified
Ouch.
joe rogan
He's a fucking sniper.
Look at that right uppercut.
brendan schaub
No one's ever beat Johnny Hendrix like that.
joe rogan
Dude, not like that.
Look at that right kick to the body on the way out.
bryan callen
Johnny's so fucking tough, though.
Look at this.
joe rogan
Boom!
Oh, Jesus.
To the arms.
Well, come on, man.
bryan callen
You gotta give it up.
He's a genius.
He's amazing.
brendan schaub
I like Johnny, too.
bryan callen
He's amazing.
eddie bravo
Hashtag Callen called it.
unidentified
Of course I called it, dude.
bryan callen
I got my fucking barbell jeans on.
joe rogan
I will fight tonight.
eddie bravo
Dude, you were a genius tonight.
You were right in every fight.
bryan callen
I was quiet in the beginning.
eddie bravo
Every fight?
bryan callen
I was tired in the beginning.
He was wrong in every fight.
eddie bravo
He was right every fight.
I know.
Dude, Carol was on fire tonight.
joe rogan
I thought you said he's a genius.
We only have five minutes left.
unidentified
I'll tell you what, Wonderbar Thompson, he put everybody on notice.
joe rogan
How badly are these things timed?
It was a first round knockout.
bryan callen
Let's hear Johnny.
Johnny's a man.
Let me hear.
Turn this out.
unidentified
Let's hear Johnny Come here That's a man right there Yeah.
Yeah, let's not interview him after you said that.
joe rogan
That's fine, because that just shows his character.
bryan callen
Johnny's awesome.
He's been real.
joe rogan
He's a great guy.
bryan callen
Johnny Hendricks is a man, and he's awesome.
joe rogan
He's a man.
brendan schaub
He's the best.
He's the nicest guy ever.
bryan callen
He had to fight a fucking monster who strikes, has been striking since he was three years old.
joe rogan
You know what he's fighting right now?
He's fighting a Wonderboy.
He's figured out how to stay standing.
He's figured out how to do it where he's gotten so comfortable with it they can get loose.
eddie bravo
That was the dark day.
See, that's not the way to be dramatic.
joe rogan
You're forced to stay higher than everybody else.
bryan callen
This is how you be dramatic when you say this.
Watch this.
Hey dude, you know what he was fighting?
The future.
And that's all you gotta say, brother.
joe rogan
But no one's gonna give you that amount of time.
That's sort of a format.
bryan callen
Why, the pause?
unidentified
The pause?
joe rogan
The four people, everyone drinking coffee and talking shit.
You don't have that time for that.
bryan callen
No, I can't pause.
I can't pause.
joe rogan
This is a wolf den, son.
bryan callen
See, I turned back.
joe rogan
I know.
bryan callen
Well, at the beginning, you guys were talking about fucking all these details, and these guys had never heard of it.
I was like, I can't find an opening.
joe rogan
I was trying to give you an opening for wine.
I was trying to give you props for your wine skills.
bryan callen
But I was kicking when you talked about that.
unidentified
Oh, God.
bryan callen
I mean, you know, you can just sabotage me.
joe rogan
Brian's wine skills are off the charts.
bryan callen
Not bad, right?
You're not mad.
joe rogan
Oh, your wine skills are off the charts.
You know as much about wine as my business manager who's got a fucking wine cellar in his house.
bryan callen
I pay attention.
I'm obsessed.
joe rogan
He's one of those dudes.
brendan schaub
Really?
bryan callen
I'll sit in a wine store and talk to the guy for hours.
My wife has just dragged me out.
joe rogan
I'll call my friend Matt.
I'll call him from, like, anywhere.
I'll be like, alright, dude.
I'm in some Cabernets right now.
Let me read you some shit.
This is expensive shit.
Is this any good?
Just tell me which is a good one.
He'll give me, that's a good one.
brendan schaub
What year is it?
joe rogan
97?
95 is a better year, but 97 is not bad.
brendan schaub
Cal is the go-to.
Dude from Tool has good wine?
eddie bravo
Dude from Tool has good wine?
unidentified
Who?
eddie bravo
Dude from Tool.
joe rogan
Oh, fuck yeah.
brendan schaub
The band Tool?
eddie bravo
He's got good wine?
joe rogan
He definitely does.
Have you ever had Maynard's wine?
It's delicious.
unidentified
No, I haven't.
bryan callen
Who's Maynard?
joe rogan
Maynard Keenan.
Purple Belt and Jiu Jitsu, by the way.
brendan schaub
From Tool.
joe rogan
He was the one I was talking about before, when I was talking about my friend who injured his hip.
I just didn't want a name drop.
brendan schaub
Oh, word.
joe rogan
He owns Caducey.
It's really good.
He does everything.
If he does anything...
bryan callen
He does it well.
joe rogan
He does it at a black belt level.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, I eat singer of Tool.
He makes...
Fucking fantastic.
Back on the mats.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
Drilling.
You know, he's my age.
brendan schaub
Great music.
He's ridiculous.
joe rogan
He's a beast.
bryan callen
Wow.
joe rogan
Like an intellectual...
He's a no-bullshit kind of a guy.
Yeah.
And he called me up because I had that Primal guy on, Mark Sisson, and he got a lot of things right, but apparently when he was talking about wine, Maynard was like...
Stay in your lane, son.
brendan schaub
Damn!
joe rogan
Yeah, he's like, we don't use 87 different chemicals.
He's like, we use some natural shit like yeast.
You know, maybe.
And, you know, maybe some tannins.
bryan callen
It's remarkably simple when you see how they make wine a lot of times.
Remarkably simple.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ, Wonderboy's good.
bryan callen
Good God.
joe rogan
He's a snake, man.
bryan callen
I've been saying this not to be a dick.
I've been saying this from...
Since 1986. No, you have.
eddie bravo
I remember back in the day.
joe rogan
The way he moves, man.
eddie bravo
In Vegas.
unidentified
Dude, he just fucked up the number two welterweight in the world.
joe rogan
Eddie fucked him up in the first round.
bryan callen
Look at that fight.
joe rogan
He crushed him in the first round.
brendan schaub
Look at that.
joe rogan
Dude, we might be looking at the champion right there.
We really might be looking at the champion.
brendan schaub
Who's going to beat him?
bryan callen
I've been saying it.
joe rogan
I've been saying it.
unidentified
I'll tell you what.
joe rogan
Robbie Law is goddamn ferocious.
That motherfucker knocked out Melvin Manhoff.
brendan schaub
Robbie doesn't touch him.
joe rogan
It's a horrible matchup.
brendan schaub
Horrible matchup for Robbie.
joe rogan
You might be right, but...
brendan schaub
Johnny Hendricks was the worst matchup.
joe rogan
You might be right, but I believe there's a difference in the amount of danger that Robbie Lawler will put himself in versus the amount of danger that Johnny Hendricks will put himself in.
I'm just saying the amount of danger he'll put himself in trying to hit him.
Robbie Lawler will take some crazy-ass fucking chances and do some explosive, ridiculously aggressive shit.
brendan schaub
Good luck with that.
joe rogan
Even as a champion.
He might not land it, but dude, he knocked Melvin Manhoof...
Dead.
bryan callen
It's crazy.
He's so indestructible.
joe rogan
It was a fight where Manhoof was teeing off on him.
bryan callen
He was treating him like a piñata.
Like a piñata.
Just kicking his leg.
His leg looked like it was on a string.
And then he just tucked his head and threw him right.
brendan schaub
You gotta give Wonderboy the title shot.
joe rogan
Well, I believe so.
I believe so.
But I think that Tyron Woodley still has a real good argument that he deserves the title shot.
Even though he's not as impressive as this guy, because his last fight he won by injury.
You know, right?
brendan schaub
Carlos Condit kicked, fucked up his knee.
bryan callen
So fucking good.
joe rogan
He was winning that fight, though.
He definitely won the first round.
brendan schaub
That's a tough argument, especially as far as markability right now.
joe rogan
No, I'm just saying that he was supposed to be fighting Johnny Hendricks for the number one title shot.
Johnny Hendricks had to pull out because he didn't make weight, and essentially Tyron was promised a title shot.
brendan schaub
I don't think it's a bad thing.
joe rogan
I don't think it's a bad thing if Wonderboy waits out and knocks somebody else off.
Because I'm telling you, a performance like this is like some superstar emerging shit.
Dude, he looked like a genius tonight.
A striking genius.
Look at that spinning back kick to the arm.
It's like getting hit by a fucking bat in your arms.
He's kicking him in the arms.
Johnny Hendrix is like, what the fuck?
eddie bravo
It's like getting hit by a machine, right?
joe rogan
Oh my god.
A guy who kicks like him, everything he's doing is perfect.
This is like an example.
This is a direct example of what we were talking about when we were going over the technique of the kick.
He throws everything.
He slides into it.
He turns his hip over.
He turns his hip over and he throws punches.
He's laser beam accurate, man.
bryan callen
And sees what you're doing before you do it, right?
Yes.
See, oh, you're going to throw a right, and let me just move a little bit back, ba-bang!
joe rogan
Dude, the way he landed that right kick to the body, that right kick to the body in that exchange before, it was extraordinary because he knows he's on the way out, but he also knows where Hendrick's left arm is, and he sneaks that right kick right under it as he's sliding backwards, which very few people are going to be able to do.
Crazy.
bryan callen
I gotta take my fighting more seriously.
eddie bravo
No matter what you do in martial arts, like I said before, we all have a certain amount of time to drill.
So whatever the kung fu, the karate guys, whatever they were doing during the dark ages when we thought it didn't work, whatever they were doing, they were getting really good at it at that range and getting fucking the best at that range.
Maybe they can get taken down easily.
Maybe they don't know any jujitsu.
But now we've gotten to the point where they spent all that time in that range and now they added and supplemented wrestling so they can stay in that range.
The range that they rule.
The range that they spent all their time in.
The range that nobody else spent that much time in that range.
But they got the wrestling and the surrounding.
They can stay in that range that they rule in during the dark ages when everyone thought that didn't work.
But hey, guess what?
Now it fucking works because I got all that shit to supplement.
I love Eddie.
And you're fucked up!
That's what we just talked to!
joe rogan
We just talked karate, kung fu, taekwondo!
bryan callen
When Eddie talks, he talks like a conspiracy.
He's like, dude...
joe rogan
We have to end this podcast on that, because we're literally out of time.
We're at the three-hour mark.
We're at the three-hour mark.
Did we go over yet?
Yeah, we slightly went over three hours, so most of this is gone.
Good night, everybody.
Good night.
Big kiss.
eddie bravo
Eddie, you were great to ramble.
