Speaker Time Text
brendan schaub
Absolutely not.
bryan callen
Never watched it.
joe rogan
Wow.
Does anybody know it?
Just let me know.
We're live?
We're live.
We're actually live.
We're on the air right now.
Eddie Bravo is here.
Eddie Bravo.
bryan callen
Eddie Bravo.
eddie bravo
Hello.
joe rogan
Brian motherfucking Colin.
bryan callen
Yes, I am.
joe rogan
And Brendan Schaub is perfect.
brendan schaub
I fucked up.
I put too much stevia in the coffee, though.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
That stevia is strong.
unidentified
You know what we could do?
joe rogan
You just take this one.
And I trust your spit.
I hope you don't have herpes and just go back and forth with mine because there's none in there.
bryan callen
There you go.
joe rogan
And then we'll make a concoction.
Except for the both of us.
bryan callen
Split it up, bro.
unidentified
Split it up.
joe rogan
A concoction.
Just do it if you're a scientist.
eddie bravo
You can snort stevia.
joe rogan
Yeah, and remember Diego Sanchez got really into that for a while?
bryan callen
What?
eddie bravo
With Dan Quinn, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, Diego Sanchez got really into Dan Quinn's stevia thing, like he was going to melt fat with stevia and cure cancer and go to the moon.
eddie bravo
Yeah, there's a guy out there, his name is Dan Quinn, who believes that stevia can change the world.
brendan schaub
Tell me how that big brown stevia is.
bryan callen
Well, good for him.
What did he say that you could win?
joe rogan
Tastes like a chocolatey man kiss.
brendan schaub
Oh yeah.
Alright.
That's what I'm going for.
bryan callen
Tastes like a chocolatey man kiss.
joe rogan
If you're listening to this podcast, we're watching the fights live from Germany.
They play at noon in LA. So we all got out of our comfy beds and beautiful wives' arms and embraces and came here to watch dudes fight.
bryan callen
We're not going to be watching the fights.
If you want to know what happened, we don't know.
We'll be talking about subjects that belong in a 14-year-old's treehouse.
And that's essentially what we talk about.
And the other thing about muscles, the grips.
joe rogan
We might eventually get to some of these fights.
I want to talk about Aliyah Latifi and Ryan Bader when that fight happens.
brendan schaub
Tough fight.
I don't like that fight for Bader.
joe rogan
That dude's scary as fuck.
Latife can bomb.
brendan schaub
Yeah, he can throw some punches.
joe rogan
He's a tank.
brendan schaub
Bader's been known to eat a couple.
It does nothing for Bader either.
joe rogan
Yeah, but Bader's fought well against certain guys that are like powerful, scary guys.
He just really fucked up against Rumble.
So you're looking at that.
brendan schaub
He shit the bed against Rumble.
joe rogan
He just made a giant error.
brendan schaub
I don't blame him either.
joe rogan
Yeah, you can't blame him.
You see what Rumble just did to Glover?
brendan schaub
That low, like, weird...
unidentified
He tried to ankle-pick and then Rumble just beat his brains in it.
joe rogan
I think he just took a chance, you know, at something weird.
Like, hoping maybe it would work out.
brendan schaub
Can't do that at that level.
joe rogan
I think he also maybe, like, had a moment, you know, in there.
brendan schaub
Oh, shit moment.
That's Anthony Rumble Johnson.
joe rogan
Oh, Jesus.
brendan schaub
Yeah, that's not James Toney.
Don't do the same game plan Randy Couture had against James Toney.
unidentified
Exactly!
joe rogan
That was exactly what he did.
brendan schaub
Because Anthony Johnson went, huh?
Punched him right in the face.
joe rogan
Not only that, he controlled him on the ground until he punched him in the face and eventually got him flattened out on his stomach.
It might be the worst place in the world to be.
Flattened out on your stomach underneath Rumble Johnson.
bryan callen
It's terrible.
There is a...
Probably that is the worst place.
joe rogan
It's right next to that dude who got his arm trapped in the rock and had to saw it off.
bryan callen
Yeah.
And also, in a swamp full of crocodiles.
joe rogan
That's worse.
bryan callen
That guy.
brendan schaub
Or standing right in front of him like Glover.
joe rogan
Oh, God.
Well, Glover just tried to put that pressure on him.
unidentified
Hey, man!
bryan callen
Dude, you can't walk forward.
brendan schaub
Did you see an uppercut?
bryan callen
Do you remember that white supremacist where they had his brother in jail, and in protest, he videotaped himself sawing his own hand off?
unidentified
What?
bryan callen
For real?
Yep, he had a camera on and he goes, I want to show you guys something, essentially basically showing them that they had no control of him, that his mind was stronger than theirs.
And just cut his own hand off.
brendan schaub
Would you guys do that for me?
joe rogan
Jamie, pull that up.
I need to see this.
brendan schaub
My brother would do that for me, I feel like.
joe rogan
Let's talk off the air.
brendan schaub
I wouldn't want him to.
joe rogan
This is Marcin Held and Taehyungbang.
brendan schaub
Taehung Bang.
bryan callen
He is from Korea?
brendan schaub
He's a Korean cowboy.
joe rogan
He's a Korean cowboy.
eddie bravo
You said Marcin Held?
bryan callen
A lot of cowboys in Korea.
joe rogan
Oh, I'm sorry.
Nick Hine.
eddie bravo
You got me all excited.
joe rogan
You know what?
Marcin Held just got signed.
I was actually going to bring that up.
He just got signed over from Bellator.
bryan callen
Very hesitant here, ladies and gentlemen.
joe rogan
He's a really good footlock guy, huh?
eddie bravo
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Good leg locks.
eddie bravo
One of them rare leg lockers in MMA. Yeah.
joe rogan
I don't know why.
I confuse all white people.
I think all white people look the same.
brendan schaub
Me too, especially if they're athletes.
joe rogan
I'm super racist when it comes to white people.
bryan callen
To the whites.
To the whites.
joe rogan
White people from other countries where they talk weird.
brendan schaub
All the same.
eddie bravo
Yeah, that can never be racist.
White people look the same.
brendan schaub
No one cares either.
eddie bravo
But any other race, it's very trouble.
Any other race.
Even Mexicans.
joe rogan
A black person can say white people all look the same to me on TV and nobody gives a shit.
unidentified
Not at all.
eddie bravo
Exactly.
joe rogan
You'd have to be really, really funny, and it'd have to be a really obvious joke for you to use any other race, especially if you were a white guy.
bryan callen
Sam Tripoli has that joke where he'll be like, I lost Bobby Lee at the Korean Day Parade.
You ever lose a Korean in a Korean Parade?
It's like looking for a needle in a needle stack.
Come on, that's funny.
joe rogan
It is funny and it is true, too.
bryan callen
Sir, I'm not going to say it's true, but I am saying it's funny.
joe rogan
There's certain races that share so many similarities as far as their mannerisms or their features and stuff.
I mean, there's so much variety in America, right?
Because we come from so many different parts of the world.
And if you thought of us as a country, which, you know, we are a country, but we're not a country like, say if you wanted to go and meet some Colombians.
You were in Colombia.
Most of them are going to look like Colombians.
brendan schaub
You know what I mean?
joe rogan
They have a very distinct look to them.
brendan schaub
Especially the women.
joe rogan
Yeah, baby.
bryan callen
Well, China, China very much like China.
Some of the best.
I think in China, to have that many people speaking Mandarin, which had to do, I think, with the Yangtze and the Yellow River, because they could trade and, you know, share ideas...
And so, plus I think they were pretty isolated, so you're right.
There wasn't as much, you know, immigration in the United States.
I mean, everybody's fucking everybody.
joe rogan
Well, not only that, it's never been like this before, where there's 300 million people, and we vary so much, and we're more varied now than ever before.
Like they say, what is it like, I think they said 20 more years, and white people are going to be a minority?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's fascinating.
brendan schaub
Because the Chinese, or you can say Asian, and Mexicans will be the minority in America, correct?
bryan callen
Well, China's film market is neck and neck with the United States now.
brendan schaub
Well, they like Expendables 19. They love all that bullshit.
bryan callen
They're making their own movies, and they're building huge movie studios now.
brendan schaub
They're also using our old, like, Sylvester Stallone's such a hit now over there.
Like, they just found them.
You know what I'm saying?
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, it's just, it's interesting, man.
It's interesting that this world is sort of, it's in some places, it's not sort of meshing with everything else, but in most places, people are spreading out and sort of like integrating with each other.
brendan schaub
I remember when I was little, my dad gets so, I was like four or five, and we'd see an Asian person, and I'd say, oh, look at that Chinese guy.
You know, something, I'd say something, he's like, he's not, he's Korean.
I'm fucking five, man.
bryan callen
That's what I do.
brendan schaub
I can't tell the difference between the eyes, dad.
bryan callen
I do.
joe rogan
Your dad got mad at you at that when you were five?
brendan schaub
Even today.
Even today.
He's from Korea.
joe rogan
Fuck, man.
Well, today, maybe it should make sense.
You should have learned it by now.
unidentified
Maybe.
brendan schaub
It's tough.
I've never been over there.
I can tell the difference between a Korean and a Japanese person now.
bryan callen
My favorite thing to do is...
brendan schaub
Pretty close, yeah.
bryan callen
I love drawing the distinction and alerting people to the fact that I know the difference.
And then I'll give you a little history lesson on it.
unidentified
Yeah, you do.
bryan callen
And then I walk away feeling good about myself.
joe rogan
Greg Fitzsimmons does this thing in his show where he guesses the Asian.
He calls it Guess the Asian.
He points at people.
unidentified
God bless him.
joe rogan
He's really good at it.
brendan schaub
I bet.
If you can tell the difference...
joe rogan
He tells the difference between Filipinos and people from Bali.
bryan callen
I think that's easy.
There are huge differences, I think.
brendan schaub
That's a skill, my man.
bryan callen
No.
brendan schaub
It's like an X-Men power.
bryan callen
No.
brendan schaub
If you're in America, it is.
joe rogan
You know what's weird is that America's only been around for, like, really a few hundred years from the first settlers, right?
First European settlers.
bryan callen
1640 or something, yeah.
joe rogan
And then before that, just one look, right?
Like Native American.
And then in that time, the change of the landscape has been so drastic in just a short amount of time.
You think about any other time in the world, any other part of the world, someplace as big as the continental United States just gets transformed over a couple hundred years into just white people, just filling them up, filling it up!
I used to have that bit, remember?
There's a brown-skinned dude with dark curly hair throwing rocks and a brown-skinned dude with dark curly hair holding a machine gun.
I go, what's going on?
How do you guys look exactly like your enemy?
I go, this isn't like the Chinese versus the African.
I go, this is like a tennis match between the Williams sisters.
I'm like, who the fuck is who?
bryan callen
What's even crazier, what's even crazier, they believe in the same God.
They believe in the same God and basically the Quran says that everything in the Old Testament is true.
So even the Quran says that's the first book, then they had a problem with the New Testament, but it's kind of wild.
brendan schaub
For sure figure it out by now.
bryan callen
It's just territory, territory.
joe rogan
Well, there's no way you're going to figure it out, because you want to make your parents happy, and they have a set of rules, and you grow up with them, and you start raising your kid that way.
And then all those ancient ideas about who those people that you don't know are versus these people next to you that you don't know.
Well, these people are on my side of the dirt, and those people are on that side of the dirt.
And we believe a certain type of wacky shit, and they believe a different type of wacky shit.
brendan schaub
I mean, they have their problems over there, but we have problems here too.
Have you seen how the Kaepernick situation escalated?
bryan callen
Explain that to me.
brendan schaub
So Kaepernick won't stand for the...
joe rogan
Explain who he is.
brendan schaub
Colin Kaepernick is the starring quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers.
He's African American and mixed with something else, so he's lighter skinned, and he was adopted.
He was raised by white parents.
And so he was a big-time quarterback, playing like shit lately, but he was a big-time quarterback, refuses to stand for the National Anthem because says his people are oppressed and the cop treatment, stuff like that.
And then a picture came out that he wore them a while ago, these socks with cops as pigs on them.
He wore them to practice a while ago before he made this stance.
And so that photo's been brought back out.
So now the cops in Santa Clara are saying, we're not working the games anymore.
Unless you guys do something about Kaepernick, we're not working the games anymore.
So the cops are taking a protest now, which to me is like...
It's definitely not the right thing to do.
Because he has freedom of speech, right?
First Amendment, he can do that, whether you agree with it or not.
But the cops, now you guys are sinking to his level.
joe rogan
You can't make a decision to not do your job because you don't like a guy's opinion.
brendan schaub
Cops at work games are off-duty police officers.
They're not on duty.
joe rogan
Oh, that's a good point.
bryan callen
So they're doing it for extra money.
brendan schaub
Well, they're just doing it because they enjoy the game and they want to keep the fucking San Francisco 49ers safe.
bryan callen
Well, they're going to exercise their right, and then Colin's going to exercise his right.
Somewhere in the middle, something's got to happen.
brendan schaub
It's a complete nightmare, though.
It's not good.
joe rogan
You know, it's not a good...
It's not a smart platform for all this.
brendan schaub
I agree.
joe rogan
Because it's all going to get lost in the noise.
brendan schaub
That's the problem.
joe rogan
If he has a real point...
If he has a real point about what he doesn't like about the way the United States is going, or the way our country is being led, that's not...
It gets a lot of people paying attention, but it's just going to get a lot of hate.
brendan schaub
You're not changing anything by not standing for the anthem during the National Football League.
The cops are still going to be the cops, and the black people are still going to be oppressed.
You're really not changing much.
joe rogan
Well, he's starting the dialogue, he thinks, and when you're young, and you have a strong ego, and you feel like you're in a position of quote-unquote leadership, you feel like you can make a stand.
bryan callen
It's a little clumsy.
Maybe a little clumsy on his part.
brendan schaub
But now you have other players starting to do the same thing.
eddie bravo
Isn't that what he wanted, though?
Why would he say all that?
He wants this.
It's like, mission accomplished.
brendan schaub
It's working.
eddie bravo
Because everyone's talking about it.
joe rogan
I don't think he realized it was going to be like this, though.
brendan schaub
Well, I think he kind of, but the big issue is he's just not playing very good football.
So now the Niners, if they release him, they're going to get so much flack.
Oh, that's fucking racist.
No, no, no.
He just can't throw a fucking football.
joe rogan
I bet they won't.
I bet they won't.
I bet the tougher thing will be him getting picked up by somebody else.
Like, what team wants to take on that PR nightmare?
unidentified
True.
joe rogan
You know, and you're gonna risk the ire of all the police unions that are working your games, you know, and all the people in your town.
They're gonna say, oh, was this what our team's all about?
We're about taking this guy in?
brendan schaub
What if you went to a more African-American market, like Atlanta or Philadelphia?
bryan callen
I wonder if most African-Americans...
See, when you don't stand for the national anthem, which is the United States versus government or a government policy, those things can be separate.
I look at them as separate.
unidentified
He says that though.
brendan schaub
He says that.
He says, so now instead of just sitting on the bench, he takes a knee because he goes, I'm not doing this against the soldiers.
I have friends.
My uncle was in the military.
So now he takes a knee and had a former Navy SEAL next to him and hugged him after.
He goes, I'm doing it because the way- You should have made out.
Yeah, that'd been dope.
bryan callen
He's just trying to make...
brendan schaub
He's just gay as shit, too.
This is for gays as well.
Just over the top.
bryan callen
For everybody.
He's trying to bring attention to something he feels strongly about.
The question is, is it, like you said, the best venue and it's the most effective?
joe rogan
It's obviously working, though.
brendan schaub
We're talking about it.
eddie bravo
He didn't want to be quiet about it, obviously.
He wanted to be loud about it, and this is loud as fuck.
brendan schaub
He even grew a powerful afro.
eddie bravo
I think he loves it.
brendan schaub
Powerful afro.
joe rogan
Maybe.
brendan schaub
It's tough when he's not playing well.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's the thing.
You've got to be playing real well to have a fucked up opinion.
brendan schaub
Yeah, like if Tom Brady did it, we're like, oh, cool, man, yeah, do your thing.
With him, it's like, fuck!
jamie vernon
He's not even the starter, probably, and he's going to be paid $19 million this year, so that might have a little bit to do with him getting cut, too.
brendan schaub
That's what I'm saying.
His contract and his on-field play is the bigger issue if you're calling.
joe rogan
That's a tremendous amount of money.
brendan schaub
That's a lot of money.
jamie vernon
He signed a $114 million contract two years ago.
bryan callen
Brendan, at a $19 million after agents and taxes, what do you think he sees?
brendan schaub
I mean, 19 million, that's his guaranteed signing bonus, right?
So agents take 10% in the taxes.
I mean, he sees a shitload of money.
bryan callen
He sees about 10 mil of that.
joe rogan
No, no, no, no.
Because you've got to figure out, he's probably in a 48% tax bracket.
He's probably as a manager, an agent, and a lawyer.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
And there's a lot of shit that gets distributed.
brendan schaub
But don't get it twisted.
This is just part of the contract.
He's rich as fuck.
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Because this is his third contract or second, Jamie?
His second.
So before that, he was already making money.
joe rogan
Was he better before?
Was he a better player before?
brendan schaub
Oh, yeah.
He took him to the conference finals and the playoffs.
joe rogan
So when did it start going bad for him?
brendan schaub
From my insiders, who actually, some of them worked for the San Francisco 49ers, they were saying it really went bad for him because he was a really athletic quarterback and no one could really pick up his style of play.
And once they figured it out, he was a guy who was on social media all the time and the negativity got to him.
So he's a sensitive dude and just all the critiquing from the media and everyone else really got to him.
So he's lost weight, he's changed his throwing motion, he doesn't run anymore, he's black power now.
joe rogan
Social media fucked with him?
brendan schaub
They're saying just this wave.
He let all the criticism get to him.
joe rogan
Really?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Whoa!
The haters right now are going, what?
brendan schaub
The trolls are like, yeah!
unidentified
We got him a hook!
We got him!
brendan schaub
He still has 19 million dollars, people.
joe rogan
Yeah, but if he's losing weight and feeling nervous, they win.
unidentified
100%.
brendan schaub
Losing weight.
How old is he?
bryan callen
How old is he?
unidentified
He might be 26. Damn, that's a lot of money.
brendan schaub
How old is he, Jamie?
26?
joe rogan
That is so much money.
First of all, asking a 26-year-old to take a stance about global issues while they're in the middle of a professional athletic career at the highest level, which demands you know as much as anybody.
If you're playing professional football, tell us how much fucking that demands of your day.
brendan schaub
Especially as a quarterback.
joe rogan
How much does that demand of your day?
brendan schaub
Oh man, in season, I mean...
I mean, you're talking full-time.
I mean, nine to five doesn't count.
You're talking about endless hours of studying, practice.
You're the leader of the team.
joe rogan
Strength and conditioning.
No, just conditioning.
Plios.
Video.
brendan schaub
Really, they're in the film room more than anyone.
Break down tape.
joe rogan
And how tired are you all the time after practice?
I mean, you're exhausted.
brendan schaub
Especially a guy like that who, he relies on his athleticism to get the plays done.
The NFL doesn't work like that.
You have to use your brain.
bryan callen
Look at the best quarterbacks in the league.
How many plays per team would you say?
Because they have a book, right?
brendan schaub
I mean, you're talking thousands.
bryan callen
Thousands of players that they have to know.
brendan schaub
And he has to know the whole inside and out.
joe rogan
So that dude doesn't have time to be studying global issues?
brendan schaub
No, that's why he's playing like shit.
It'd be way more powerful if he played well, was a starter, started winning games, and then came out and did this maybe after the season.
joe rogan
Dude, there's no 26-year-old that's built to handle the kind of pressure that comes being that famous and a big football player.
And then on top of that, supporting some sort of a global issue, like some sort of a national issue on the United States, like the state of the United States.
Are you going to make an official statement?
brendan schaub
I can't imagine.
bryan callen
It's putting a lot on your plate.
joe rogan
I shouldn't be making an official statement today, and I'm almost 50. I'm like, not ready yet.
brendan schaub
I can't imagine what he's dealing with.
I'm sure he has support from a lot of people, but a lot of it's negative.
Then you've got to get ready for a football game.
It's make or break.
bryan callen
If you're playing poorly, it's going to get negative real quick from all sides, right?
brendan schaub
No, I don't think from all sides.
I think African-American people are pretty proud of him in a certain aspect.
joe rogan
Well, some people are proud of him, too, that feel like things aren't the way they should be in this country, and at least this guy used that platform and took a chance.
brendan schaub
Correct.
joe rogan
But I think you're dead right in that the real problem is you've got to be playing really fucking good to pull something like that off.
Like, people don't want to just listen to you if you're ruining play.
And there's going to be so much pressure on him every time he does play.
People are going to be psyched if he gets nailed.
eddie bravo
What's the pressure?
I mean, he watches a couple YouTube videos, and there's not something that he's got to study.
He wears socks.
So what?
What is he doing?
bryan callen
No, you mean tweet?
eddie bravo
And then what?
brendan schaub
He has the entire San Francisco 49ers organization on his back to win games.
And if he doesn't perform, he's going to lose his job.
eddie bravo
Poor him.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
I mean, it's a tough gig.
It's a tough gig, man.
joe rogan
You don't feel bad about him, Eddie?
eddie bravo
No.
joe rogan
But he's got money.
brendan schaub
Because he's black?
eddie bravo
Fucker's rich as shit, super famous, and he wants this attention.
Why else would he wear those socks?
If Tom Brady wore those socks, the whole arena would be yelling, fuck the police, right?
brendan schaub
For sure, yeah.
Tom Brady's white, though.
eddie bravo
Exactly.
joe rogan
Would they, though?
I think they would turn on him.
I think they'd turn on Tom Brady.
brendan schaub
There's no turning on Tom Brady.
joe rogan
That's bullshit.
brendan schaub
He can't do anything wrong.
joe rogan
They would turn on him.
brendan schaub
He can't do anything wrong.
Incorrect.
New England wouldn't.
unidentified
Incorrect.
brendan schaub
He could murder someone, and they'd be like, yeah, what can you do with Tom Brady?
eddie bravo
Gangster.
bryan callen
Tell us the whole story.
He did murder four people.
brendan schaub
Well, the guy probably lipped off...
Even with Ern Hernandez, the guy who's a straight-up murderer, they were like, I mean, if he gets out, we'll take him.
He's such a good player.
New England was like, I mean, we wouldn't be mad if he gets...
He's such a good player.
They just want to win fucking football games in New England.
unidentified
God.
brendan schaub
That's how good of a player it is.
bryan callen
Throw to the murderer.
unidentified
You know what?
eddie bravo
The Patriots might sue you for saying that.
joe rogan
They'd probably agree with you.
brendan schaub
No, they're like, yeah, that's how it goes.
Trying to win games here.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
Neil Brennan has a fucking hilarious bit about football that I can't do it without doing it.
You know, I can't give you the premise of it, but he's talking about why football players do fucked up shit in real life.
It is hilarious.
brendan schaub
Dude, he's my favorite guest on your podcast.
joe rogan
Is he really?
brendan schaub
By far.
I think he's the most creative fucking...
I've never met him in person, but dude, he's a great guy.
That guy's brilliant.
joe rogan
Very, very smart.
brendan schaub
He's so creative.
joe rogan
Get him on the Fighter of the Kid.
bryan callen
Yeah, we will.
joe rogan
You guys will love him.
He's awesome.
brendan schaub
God, he's talented.
bryan callen
I've been meaning to do that anyway.
brendan schaub
So talented.
joe rogan
The football bit he did last night, I was crying.
brendan schaub
Really?
Crying.
joe rogan
I can't do it because it'll give away the bit, but it's very, very funny.
brendan schaub
Dude, I finally watched The Roast with Jim Ross with Big Boy.
What's his name?
The big fat guy.
Ralphie Mae.
joe rogan
Ralphie Mae.
brendan schaub
Where his feelings got hurt?
joe rogan
I heard it was bad.
brendan schaub
Dude.
joe rogan
I can't watch.
brendan schaub
Dude.
joe rogan
I don't want to watch.
bryan callen
What happened?
brendan schaub
I mean, it's a roast battle.
Ralphie's going through a divorce, and these people just fucking...
unidentified
The fucking hammer in the coffin.
brendan schaub
The guy goes, well...
You've lost...
It's so fucked up.
You've lost your wife, your career.
You can't sell tickets.
You've lost everything.
The only thing you haven't lost is weight, motherfucker.
And it was like...
bryan callen
I don't like that stuff.
It's a roast.
brendan schaub
Well, don't fucking watch.
It's a roast, though.
joe rogan
Yeah, don't get involved.
bryan callen
Don't get involved.
eddie bravo
They were roasting Ralphie Mae.
brendan schaub
It was a Ralphie Mae roast.
No, it's like one-on-one roast.
bryan callen
Roast battle.
joe rogan
Roast battle and roast each other.
You ever see roast battle?
It's a hilarious show.
Yeah, they have it at the Comedy Store.
You gotta come, man.
brendan schaub
I love it.
joe rogan
They do it at the Comedy Store on Tuesday nights, and they do it late at night.
And I think it starts at midnight, right?
brendan schaub
I'm not sure.
unidentified
Isn't it?
brendan schaub
But your boy Tony Hinchcraft tore it up, too.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It's just some of the funniest, young, up-and-coming kids.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
joe rogan
And adults, I should say, some of them are, like, for whatever reason, deep in their 30s.
brendan schaub
There's some old-ass people in there, too.
joe rogan
Yeah, some 50-year-old people that are on Rose Battle.
brendan schaub
They have great judges, too.
joe rogan
Yeah, and they have comics judge it, and then they'll do, like, one, you know, one joke, and the other person will do a joke against them, and they go back and forth, and then the audience decides who got who better.
brendan schaub
It's so creative.
And like, Tony Hinchcliffe, I guess he does a podcast at the Comedy Store on Monday nights or something like that, whatever it is.
And he texts me and goes...
joe rogan
It's called Kill Tony.
brendan schaub
Kill Tony, yeah, yeah.
He texts me and goes, hey man, when do you come by and do the podcast?
And I went, oh, no, do the show.
And I went, I'm down to do like a podcast, but I'm not letting you just roast the shit out of me.
unidentified
It's too easy.
bryan callen
I don't know how to come back.
I'm not good at roasting other people.
I'm not good at those comebacks.
joe rogan
Also, you want everybody to love you.
bryan callen
You don't want to be mean to people.
I also don't want to hurt anybody's feelings.
joe rogan
It ain't for you, B. It ain't for you.
brendan schaub
Tony would eat you alive.
bryan callen
I can't hurt people.
Even if I had a good put down, I couldn't.
brendan schaub
Tony would eat you.
I don't like hurting people's feelings like a cannibal.
joe rogan
Brian Moses, the guy who hosts it, is perfect.
He's a hilarious guy.
bryan callen
I like Brian, yeah.
joe rogan
It's a great show.
brendan schaub
You know what's tough on that?
Because obviously they're going based off each other, volleying back and forth on jokes and roasting each other.
But when someone has a horrible, just a great roast, and the other one's not ready, when a roast is bad, it's bad.
Like Ralphie Mae was like, that's why your eyes are close together, and the crowd's like...
It's just dead silent.
I'm like, oh, God.
unidentified
Fuck.
joe rogan
I heard about it and I couldn't watch it.
unidentified
It's on the spot.
bryan callen
Yeah, I don't want to see somebody get knocked out like that.
I don't like that shit.
brendan schaub
Is this on Comedy Central?
I'm sure it's on YouTube.
But Whoopi Goldberg was a coach, or she was a judge?
Man, it was tough.
joe rogan
What was tough?
Whoopi Goldberg being the judge?
brendan schaub
Just her commentary and everything.
She's just out of the loop, you know what I'm saying?
joe rogan
Yeah, she's out of the fucking loop.
That's like someone with your grandma on the mic.
brendan schaub
Yeah, that's 100% what she was doing.
bryan callen
It's funny how people can ride something great for a long time.
Like her first HBO special was pretty...
joe rogan
Was it really great?
bryan callen
Yeah, it was really good.
I thought it was really, really good.
Theatrically, it was excellent.
joe rogan
This motherfucker's in an audition again.
He's in the room right now with the producers.
Brian's trying to get on to some wine last night in Santa Monica with some good friends.
bryan callen
You cannot take away from her.
brendan schaub
Brian's trying to get on The View right now?
bryan callen
The two things she did to get herself known on HBO, they were pretty amazing.
eddie bravo
Whoopi Goldberg?
bryan callen
Yeah, you can't take that away from her.
But I will say that she did Ghost, but you can ride that shit for a long time.
joe rogan
I'm blacking out right now.
There's no air in this room.
It just sucked it all out.
bryan callen
Hey, 20 years ago.
It was 20 years ago.
brendan schaub
Well, she's not like in the comedy scene.
joe rogan
She does the view.
She does the view.
She's got a look that's very distinctive, and she seems like a very friendly person, and America took her in a long time ago, and she's sort of been in this steady, coasting state ever since then.
So when she goes and does something that demands pop, like these things, or when she expresses herself on The View, when she's got an opinion, it's not very succinct.
It's not clear and sharp and well-defined.
There's a lot of laziness to it.
I'm sure she's just a really wealthy woman who is set.
For life.
She doesn't have to worry about shit.
brendan schaub
She dresses that way too.
joe rogan
And when she's up there, she's like casual and she's being herself.
brendan schaub
Casual as fuck.
She has Crocs on and shit.
joe rogan
In some ways, it's like what you're getting is when you get a person that's like at that level.
She's an Oscar winner.
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
She's over it.
She's like, what's up?
bryan callen
I won't be Goldberg.
brendan schaub
I don't have to do shit anymore.
joe rogan
She even brought that up on the show.
She said, I have Oscars.
That's what she said on the show.
brendan schaub
That was her roast, yeah.
joe rogan
When someone came at her, when her and Jeselnik were going at it, and she was like, who are you?
I have Oscars.
That's her thing.
She's like, I have Oscars, honey.
brendan schaub
That's not funny.
joe rogan
You know what happens?
bryan callen
Sometimes success can stop a lot of things.
Bob Dylan was, and he's produced a lot and been amazing, but they were going through the lyrics that he was writing and stuff when he was younger that made him a legend.
He literally went, isn't that something?
And they go, what do you mean?
He goes, I just don't...
That was a different person back then who wrote that stuff.
Like, I could never do that again.
I could never replicate that again.
That magic that made me what I am is gone.
So much of it was wanting to be heard so badly.
So much of it was, can I even do this?
The wonder and the mystery of, who am I? And let me see if this effort can bear fruit.
And when you get really wealthy and you get really famous and you become a legend, it's very difficult to replicate that kind of stuff.
Like, Ellen Generous, for me, when she was younger and doing stand-up, personally, I loved her stand-up when she was younger.
And then I was thinking to myself, you had this great stand-up career, and then you became a talk show host.
You make a fortune.
brendan schaub
She's really good at that, though.
bryan callen
But I just could never do that.
That would be so boring to me, in comparison.
joe rogan
You know the best interview with her?
Her and Caitlyn Jenner.
Caitlyn Jenner was talking about how she doesn't believe in gay marriage, because I'm more of a traditionalist.
So she's sitting there with her frozen face.
Why have I always been traditional?
And you're like, what in the fuck are you talking about?
Your face is Botox, you cut, and your jaws, half your jaw is missing.
You're wearing lipstick.
That's her up there on the screen.
All this craziness, and she's saying that she's not into gay marriage, or she wasn't into gay marriage, she's trying to change my opinion now, but because she's more of a traditionalist.
Like, you are a man that thinks they're a woman.
unidentified
There's nothing further from a traditionalist.
bryan callen
That's the Hollywood insanity.
joe rogan
But Ellen wrote her on it.
She's like, how can someone like you, who's faced so much discrimination, how could you be against gay marriage?
And this is my take on this Caitlyn Jenner thing that everybody's always been missing.
You're talking about a nonsense person.
You're talking about a male Kardashian.
This is what this is.
We're having this national debate, which is an important national debate, because there's a spectrum of gender, and there's some people that get stuck in some weird spots, and to be mean about those people, because they're not a manly man like Brendan Schaub, or a girly girl, like Katy Perry.
There's a lot of women and men that fall in these weird places.
But this is the wrong one to pay attention to!
This is crazy.
bryan callen
I agree 100%.
joe rogan
This is, I mean, it's not a bad person, you know?
They're not a horrible person.
brendan schaub
She's Kardashian.
joe rogan
Yeah, but this is what we've been dealing with when we're talking about, like...
Putting focus on people for no reason whatsoever other than the fact that there's a camera on them.
bryan callen
People also get bullied into being super supportive and completely a fanatic on that side.
Instead of having an objective, fair, critical point of view, like it's weird or like, I don't know, she's not that impressive.
What she did in 1976 was pretty impressive and whenever, but...
joe rogan
Dude, it's social media, man.
Social media, the pressure and the amount of human beings that you're communicating with, it's off the charts.
The numbers are crazy.
The numbers that you're interacting with on a daily basis, if you have any sort of a point whatsoever, like this football player dude.
If he has any sort of a point that he wants to make, dude, you're dealing with...
Literally millions of people throwing their opinions your way and it's a storm and you can't you can't like go outside in the rain and pick the Raindrop that you're gonna communicate with.
brendan schaub
No you can't.
joe rogan
That's essentially what he's doing when it's opinions.
Opinions are coming at him like rain.
brendan schaub
Well, but also look at homegirl.
Who's the comedian from Ghostbusters the black girl?
Leslie Jones.
unidentified
Her shit got so bad people are She exacerbated that.
joe rogan
You think?
She exacerbated by about poorly...
unidentified
They leaked naked photos, too.
No, no, no.
joe rogan
That was afterwards.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I know.
unidentified
Before that.
brendan schaub
But they went ham on it.
joe rogan
I don't know if it's the same people.
I mean, obviously, somebody leaked her naked photos.
But they'll leak your naked photos, too, if you leave them on iCloud, stupid.
Yeah, for sure.
Everyone's naked photos.
You leave your dick on iCloud, that shit's going online.
bryan callen
All my dick pics, I'm pretty proud of.
joe rogan
But she interacted with some of those people.
That's what you can't do.
It was poorly thought out.
brendan schaub
I feel like she's new to it, too, though, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, she is new to it.
Dude, it's a motherfucker out there.
Sideways rain, baby.
There's a fucking hurricane out your door.
Go out there and find a raindrop.
brendan schaub
But I feel like successful people don't pay attention to most of that bullshit.
joe rogan
Some people do.
Tyron Woodley, apparently, has been paying attention to it.
I've been reading all this shit about Tyron, reading all these haters' tweets.
brendan schaub
Why would he do that?
joe rogan
I don't know, man.
Maybe someone needs to talk to him.
Maybe he doesn't mind.
Maybe he's using it as a psychological exercise, but he's talking about all these people that are being racist to him and talking shit to him.
unidentified
No, let me get dark, man.
brendan schaub
He needs to focus on Wonderboy.
joe rogan
Not only that, when you find out, when they find out that you're paying attention and it freaks you out, like this Kaepernick guy who's losing weight and you fucking can't throw right anymore.
There's too many of them, man.
There's too many people.
brendan schaub
Especially in negative.
If they can't affect the celebrity in that fashion, they're gonna fucking try, man.
joe rogan
It's natural.
It's as natural as a virus.
Being a negative?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's a certain amount of people that they got a fucking shithand in life.
And they are who they are through a series of bad decisions and life circumstances and genetics and all the above.
And they see a guy like Kaepernick that's making...
50 million bucks over the next couple of years, and I fuck him!
brendan schaub
Good-looking dude, too.
Has a bit of a nose, but good-looking dude.
joe rogan
And they come home every day, and they run to that computer from their McDonald's job with fucking fry smell all over their body, their hands, and they just start All kinds of rude shit about him.
bryan callen
Although the article we read in Time Magazine had a front page article, and according to that author and his research, a lot of that hate comes from, oh, I don't know, kindergarten teachers, doctors, lawyers, and people, your next door neighbor you would never imagine, but they just have a mean streak.
And they just want to be mean.
brendan schaub
They said it could come from anyone.
Just don't assume the guy's in the basement of his mom's house jacking off.
It can literally come from anyone, especially Kaepernick, who's a San Francisco 49er.
You might be a Seattle fan.
You're like, yeah, I'm going to hate it.
I might as well.
I'm a doctor in Seattle.
Fuck this, dude.
joe rogan
It gives you a free pass if you're from another state.
bryan callen
There's also something about some people, when nobody's looking to do something outrageous, forbidden, that would be totally out of character, it's freeing, right?
So they just want to do, like, it's almost like when you go, when you're in a really, in an airplane, you have to be quiet and stuff, and you go to the bathroom, and you're about to pee, and you look in the mirror, and you go, and you just do some weird face, because it's a release.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's you, you fucking weirdo.
brendan schaub
That's some weird shit.
bryan callen
Maybe, guys.
I don't know.
joe rogan
But no, you're definitely right.
I think people that are buttoned down all day, like doctors and lawyers and people that have to put on a persona all day long, those are the ones who want to hire mistresses and get them to shit on them and smack them in the face and do wacky stuff.
bryan callen
They've done a lot of studies on cultures that produce a lot of shit videos and these really perverse videos.
unidentified
That's right.
brendan schaub
I'm talking about the Japanese.
bryan callen
Well, I'm talking about the Japanese and the Germans who tend to be very disciplined, very authoritarian, and very buttoned down and formal.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bryan callen
So, listen, man, when you've got to do that all the time...
eddie bravo
It's called Pukaki.
brendan schaub
I can't watch them.
I'll throw up.
bryan callen
You want some extreme...
Human beings will...
They just want to be...
It was like they were talking about why would the Germans, at one point, who were the quote-unquote most civilized society in the world, they read Goethe and everything else, and they had...
And what happened?
It culminated with concentration camps and feeding people to gas chambers and ovens.
Huh?
What?
What the fuck?
joe rogan
Meanwhile, Alir Latife is stepping towards a cage.
Just a video of him online, really recently, where he deadlifts, what was it, like 450 pounds 33 times?
That's impressive.
bryan callen
Oh my god.
Brennan Schaub might not be able to do that.
joe rogan
Something ridiculous like that.
brendan schaub
I can't do that.
joe rogan
But he does 33 deadlifts with it.
He's built for it.
brendan schaub
He's a little spark plug.
joe rogan
Check this motherfucker out.
What is the weight?
What does it say there?
brendan schaub
440 33 times.
joe rogan
Okay, 440 pounds, he does it 33 fucking reps.
bryan callen
Mr. Schaub's doing $5.50 for $10 and doing $10 sets of that.
brendan schaub
I could probably get close.
bryan callen
To this?
brendan schaub
I'd blow my asshole out.
bryan callen
I bet you could.
joe rogan
Is a big fucking dude.
brendan schaub
Oh, he's not doing continuous.
bryan callen
Oh, Brandon will do that.
joe rogan
He's doing them and then dropping them and then letting them go.
bryan callen
Brandon Schaub will do that.
joe rogan
No, let me ask you this.
Is that the way to go with deadlifts?
Do you just let it go when you don't lower it down?
Why wouldn't you lower it down?
brendan schaub
Yeah, I lower it down, especially if I'm doing continuous reps.
That's a little weird.
I guess maybe saving energy, but you're restarting every time, so it's more work, I feel like.
joe rogan
Well, maybe that's why they're doing it.
It's a lot more work.
This is something thought up.
brendan schaub
I thought he was going boosh.
unidentified
Boosh!
joe rogan
No.
He's letting it drop.
brendan schaub
It's still impressive.
It's not as hard.
bryan callen
He's doing 33 reps, dude.
But B was doing, Brennan was doing 550, 10 reps.
Don't call him B. Don't call him B. He was doing 10 reps, sorry.
He was doing 10 reps and he did 10 sets of that.
And you were doing that.
You were lifting 550 like you were getting out of a chair.
That was ridiculous.
brendan schaub
For what?
Because I fucking tell dick jokes and drink coffee.
bryan callen
You're strong.
joe rogan
Because you want to look good.
bryan callen
You're very strong.
brendan schaub
Correct.
joe rogan
Yeah, you want to look like a stud.
bryan callen
When you're right, you're very strong, man.
joe rogan
If you've got a big-ass gorilla body and you weren't lifting weights, it would be rude.
Like, you've got this big-ass body and you let it get all doughy and soft and get a little pot that hangs over your belt buckle.
brendan schaub
Could be funny, though.
joe rogan
No.
brendan schaub
No, that's not funny.
joe rogan
People would be upset.
This motherfucker got the perfect frame and he's wasting it, eating Cheetos.
You know?
I mean, if you have one of those bodies, you're supposed to fucking maintain that bitch.
Like, if you have a Ferrari, and you're putting paint, like, on it.
I want to paint my smiley faces on it.
brendan schaub
Like an asshole.
joe rogan
Yeah, put bumper stickers.
Free Tibet on a Ferrari.
unidentified
Free Tibet.
bryan callen
Fuck you.
Don't ever do that.
That's really funny.
joe rogan
You're ruining the shape of this beautiful thing.
Ryan Bader, stepping in.
Now, how does one, you know, like, recover from that, um...
That Rumble-Johnson fight, like he's moving into the top ten, he's in the top ten.
brendan schaub
Oh, top five?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah.
brendan schaub
He won five in a row?
joe rogan
He's on his way towards the title shot, and then he fights someone like Rumble, and he gets so annihilated that it leaves this, like, okay, how much improvement would he have to make before he could beat Rumble?
brendan schaub
Well, but that Rumble fight, I don't think, if I'm Ryan Bader, I'm his camp, you can't really chalk it up as, ah, he was the better fighter.
I think Bader shit his pants in a huge situation.
It didn't go his way.
Back to the drawing board.
You get past this one, then he's probably going to get Gustafson next, if they both win, is what I would assume.
joe rogan
Maybe.
Could be.
brendan schaub
Because, you know...
joe rogan
OSP's still in the mix, too.
He already beat OSP. Yeah, he did, but OSP, I'm sure, would like a rematch.
brendan schaub
Yeah, it'd be tough.
It'd be tough.
joe rogan
He's only 33. It's amazing when you think Ryan Bader won the Ultimate Fighter way back in the day.
brendan schaub
Forever ago.
joe rogan
So long ago, man.
brendan schaub
Then he has those wrestling days.
bryan callen
Bader's 6'2"?
I didn't know he was that tall.
joe rogan
He's a big boy.
bryan callen
Wow.
joe rogan
He's fairly narrow.
Latife's different.
How tall is Latife?
Is he 5'10"?
bryan callen
5'10"?
Where's he from?
brendan schaub
Sparkplug.
bryan callen
Where's he from?
joe rogan
I think Latife is Albanian.
See if that's true.
brendan schaub
But he was Swedish, right?
He grew up in Sweden.
bryan callen
I'm going to say Afghani.
joe rogan
I'm pretty sure Rose from the comic store said that's her Albanian brother.
bryan callen
Huh.
brendan schaub
Goddamn, he's jacked.
joe rogan
Find out if he's originally from Albania.
Both these guys are bodied up.
She's right.
This guy's a tank, though, man.
unidentified
He can hit, too.
joe rogan
Look at the size of him.
If you look at his fucking head, he's a tank.
brendan schaub
If I'm beta, I wear his ass out and look to knock him out in the late second or third.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's super explosive.
It says he was born in Sweden.
It says all Sweden.
bryan callen
Yeah, but he's not Swedish.
joe rogan
Doesn't say anything Albanian.
He must Might go to the Wikipedia, buddy.
brendan schaub
He was born and raised in Sweden.
bryan callen
Background.
joe rogan
Because they don't make him look like that in Sweden.
Does it say ethnicity?
Is it Albania?
Yeah, Albania.
brendan schaub
There you go.
eddie bravo
Swedish people all look the same.
joe rogan
Yeah, they do.
brendan schaub
Fucking whiteys.
joe rogan
Goddamn whitey.
brendan schaub
I'll tell you what, though.
Mousasi ate the fucking shit out of...
Latifi's whole world.
Just jab the fuck out of him.
joe rogan
Latifi took that fight on super short notice because somebody else got injured.
It was a last-minute fight.
It was Latifi's first fight in the UFC. Latifi doesn't have a good...
brendan schaub
Latifi doesn't have a good...
He doesn't have a big win.
This would be his biggest win by far in the UFC. He doesn't really beat anyone that good so far.
joe rogan
No, this would be his biggest opponent for sure, but...
He's a spooky dude.
brendan schaub
Oh, I hate this fight for Bader.
Especially coming off a loss for Anthony Johnson in fucking Germany.
joe rogan
Well, Latife's a world-class wrestler, too.
That's the other scary thing about it.
So Bader is most likely going to be out-wrestled by him.
Like, if they just go wrestling to wrestling.
And Latife can starch you with one shot.
Like, he clipped him right there.
He just clipped him with a left hook.
brendan schaub
Remember, Bader has power, too, though.
joe rogan
He does.
brendan schaub
Remember, he had Glover on the ropes and then ate a fucking hook from Mars.
joe rogan
Well, he won the Ultimate Fighter by bombing on Vinny Magalese.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Remember that?
eddie bravo
And he wrestled in college.
brendan schaub
Him and Kane were on the same team.
joe rogan
But he's fighting a guy with a lot to gain and some serious power and a guy who doesn't have a lot of miles on him.
That was a good right hand there by Vader.
brendan schaub
Latifi has a lot of miles on him because of the world wrestling shit.
You know what I'm saying, Joe?
joe rogan
Wrestling training, you mean?
brendan schaub
Yeah, all that wrestling.
I mean, granted, Bader grew up wrestling too, but a little different on the world level.
joe rogan
Latife is really reaching.
He's trying to close the distance with these frantic sprints, and Bader is really elegantly sliding out of the way.
brendan schaub
That doesn't look good for Latife.
joe rogan
Ooh, nice.
brendan schaub
Bader's beat Phil Davis, Rashad Evans, OSP. He's beat some fucking guys, man.
He's been in there with way better competition.
joe rogan
100%.
No question.
And here's the thing about Latife.
He's got this big power, but if you look at his technical approach, like how he's trying to approach Ryan, he's trying to step and then bomb.
And if it works, look, if he catches you with one of those things, you're fucksville.
brendan schaub
But a guy at Ryan's level, he shouldn't really be getting caught with that stuff.
joe rogan
So he switched up to wrestling and Ryan stuffed a takedown.
So now Aaliyah is definitely losing this round so far, and he's losing it in terms of strategy, his ability to execute.
eddie bravo
Is that how he switches to Southpaw?
unidentified
Oh!
joe rogan
Kick to the body by Bader.
3.06, 3.02, 3.01, three minutes into the first round.
So if you want to sync it up with us.
Yeah, Latifi does not look good right here.
He keeps getting clipped with the kick, and look how easy Bader blocked that punch, because it's obvious, you know, it's that looping right that comes.
brendan schaub
Latifi even got double unders, couldn't take Bader down.
I mean, people underestimate Bader's wrestling.
They forget about it, because he really doesn't use it that much.
joe rogan
It's interesting how, like, there's certain things that you just absolutely predict, right?
Like, if a guy catches your leg, if you throw a right kick, and the guy catches your leg, he's gonna throw a right hand.
Like, every time.
So you know that right hand's coming.
You know, it's unusual approaches to those real common situations.
unidentified
Oh!
bryan callen
He keeps walking in that.
joe rogan
Oh, Latife throwing bombs.
brendan schaub
Got kicked in the fucking face.
joe rogan
Bader clocked him with that.
bryan callen
Southpaw this.
joe rogan
Yeah, Latife's trying to sprint at him in these exchanges.
bryan callen
He's going to catch a knee, man.
brendan schaub
Latife's hair said, see ya.
Why not just shave it, right, fellas?
joe rogan
He's got most of it shaved.
I think he just lets it grow with his beard for a couple days.
unidentified
Iliar.
joe rogan
That's a cool name.
bryan callen
Yeah, it is.
Iliar.
joe rogan
So Bader is doing a lot of switching stances.
brendan schaub
He looks great, man.
joe rogan
Yeah, he looks real loose.
brendan schaub
A big loss like the Johnson one, man.
Especially when he came out of that huge win streak.
I'm sure he went back to the drawing board just to improve on stuff.
But if you can get past him, then give him a gust of an axe.
He's right back up in there, man.
Especially at 205. Who knows what's going to happen with John.
You've got DC, Rumble, you know?
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, everybody just assumes that if Rumble catches you, you go to sleep, no matter who you are.
brendan schaub
Well, that'd be correct, unless you're DC. He did catch DC and drop him on his ass.
joe rogan
Bader, like, good technique there.
Holds the left hand high, pinned to his face, throws that counter right hand, and he's able to throw, like, check hooks on both sides.
Look at that stuff.
brendan schaub
Oh, dude, Bader is fucking on one tonight, man.
Latifi got double unders, couldn't do shit.
unidentified
Nope.
joe rogan
Yeah, he looks good, man.
Looks good.
And also, you gotta realize, Latife, we're four minutes into this fight.
He's been unsuccessful for four minutes.
His mind's gotta be fucking with him.
brendan schaub
Not even close, either.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Not a fuck with you.
joe rogan
Oh, he just connected with the left hand.
He just connected with the left hand.
brendan schaub
That's the danger of fighting this guy.
joe rogan
Yeah.
unidentified
The bombs.
brendan schaub
He has so much power.
Look at him.
The way he throws things, too.
Vader can see it coming from fucking...
joe rogan
He's got to figure out a way.
You know, you don't learn until you fight a guy like this.
You've got to figure out a way to do it technically and then bomb selectively.
brendan schaub
Correct.
joe rogan
These guys that try to bomb exclusively, those guys go dry.
They run out of gas.
brendan schaub
Especially when you get in the top five.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
I mean, even experienced guys.
12 through 15, you're fine, but top five.
joe rogan
Even Hector Lombard does that.
And he's an experienced guy with a World Bellator Championship.
unidentified
Oh!
brendan schaub
That's what we were talking about.
unidentified
He caught him!
joe rogan
He caught him!
brendan schaub
That's what we're talking about.
He just needs to get out of this round.
joe rogan
Well, he should break free, man, and keep bombing.
Ryan Bader's in deep shit right now.
brendan schaub
Bader's in deep shit.
Damn, Bader got dropped, son.
bryan callen
Damn, Bader's tough.
joe rogan
Dude, and let me tell you something.
Fuck, you got out of the round.
How do you score the fight?
How do you score that round?
This is a good question.
bryan callen
He knocked him down.
unidentified
You give it to Alifi.
bryan callen
So you gotta give it to Alifi.
brendan schaub
Bader was winning for four minutes and forty seconds of that fight.
unidentified
Here it is.
Still.
Still.
eddie bravo
It's the end of the round and he got the knockdown.
bryan callen
That's a legit knockdown.
eddie bravo
Come on, there's no way you're going to give it to Bader.
There's no way you're going to give it to Bader.
brendan schaub
It's the end of the round and he got knocked down.
eddie bravo
Dude, it was the end of the round and he got knocked down and you're going to give it to Bader?
joe rogan
Okay, but a knockdown scoring-wise in MMA is not the same as a knockdown in boxing.
If it was boxing, that would be either a 10-8 round or a 9-9 round.
eddie bravo
It's all based on boxing, though.
It was all striking.
There was no grappling.
There was no grappling.
brendan schaub
So let me ask you this, Eddie.
joe rogan
I mean, boxing scoring.
In boxing scoring, when a guy gets knocked down, you lose a point.
eddie bravo
Okay, give it to Bader, then.
joe rogan
No, I'm not saying that.
brendan schaub
No, I'm not saying that.
Eddie Bryan, so let's say he knocked him down the first 20 seconds of that fight, and then Bader won the rest 4 minutes and 40 seconds.
Who would you give the round to?
eddie bravo
That's different.
bryan callen
Probably.
eddie bravo
It's not the same.
brendan schaub
It is the same.
eddie bravo
You described a totally different situation.
unidentified
No, I didn't.
eddie bravo
It's the end of the round, and he got knocked down.
brendan schaub
So the end of the round means more.
eddie bravo
At the end of the round.
brendan schaub
No, it doesn't.
bryan callen
I would personally count how you're doing toward the end of the fight.
joe rogan
Guys can't talk over each other, please.
brendan schaub
That's not the way the judging works, fellas.
I hate to tell you.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, that's true.
It's true.
As far as what the fight is or how it's being judged because of the rules, we're talking about two totally different things.
If you're looking at the fight, yeah.
If this was a fight in the street and Latife got pulled off of him at the last second, everybody would think Latife won.
eddie bravo
Even in the sport, he won.
He knocked him down.
joe rogan
At the very least, he made it a debate.
eddie bravo
That fight could have been over right there with some more time.
joe rogan
Yeah, but he survived.
brendan schaub
It doesn't matter.
eddie bravo
You got Bader on that route?
I have a draw.
brendan schaub
I have a draw.
joe rogan
It could be.
bryan callen
I didn't see Bader doing anything besides stuffing takedowns, though.
He didn't really connect a lot.
joe rogan
He's got his front headlock here.
brendan schaub
Octagon control, forward aggression.
joe rogan
That means Bader's probably kind of tired.
And he got clipped there.
bryan callen
That's true.
He was pressing it all the time.
brendan schaub
You guys just got to know how they score the rounds.
eddie bravo
I want to know how you scored it, not how other people scored it.
brendan schaub
I would give that a draw, an even round.
unidentified
Okay.
brendan schaub
Just because one guy does something with the last 20 seconds.
That's like saying the Connor-Diaz fight.
Man, if that was a fight fight, Diaz would probably win, right?
I'm just talking about the sport.
eddie bravo
I'm not talking about Allie.
joe rogan
Latife threw a punch.
I always, like, flinch when dudes throw a punch and they land with the thumb.
brendan schaub
Oh, dude.
joe rogan
You know, and they throw that, like, right hook, but it doesn't land knuckles.
brendan schaub
That's why I have this fucking earthworm scar on my arm.
joe rogan
Yeah, I'm sure.
brendan schaub
Because I land on that, and it's fucking compound fracture.
joe rogan
Yeah, Latife just did that.
He just threw a whipping bomb of a right hand, and he landed with his thumb, and I went, oof.
brendan schaub
And it usually lands on, like, skull, like, not on chin.
It's the worst.
joe rogan
Just shatters your bone.
Keep an eye on his right hand.
brendan schaub
I shattered my right thumb and when I got a surgery, I asked the doctor, I went, how's the scar?
I went, I did my best.
It looks like a centipede on my right hand.
bryan callen
So you're saying it comes from throwing that long hook?
joe rogan
Yeah, like a straight arm hook and you hit with the thumb.
unidentified
Oh my god!
Ryan Bader, bitch!
joe rogan
God damn, Ryan Bader!
Holy shit!
bryan callen
He kept going down like that.
That's what I said.
brendan schaub
That makes it easy.
joe rogan
That makes it easy.
bryan callen
He kept dipping his head, man.
He's gonna get caught eventually.
brendan schaub
God, Bader got away with fucking...
joe rogan
Congrats to Ryan Bader.
bryan callen
That's huge, Bader.
joe rogan
That's huge.
brendan schaub
Such a dangerous fight.
unidentified
Jesus.
joe rogan
There's such a dangerous fight and hurt at the end of the first round and comes back with that shot.
Holy fuck, man.
Now, was that a kick or a knee?
bryan callen
It was a knee.
He kept going down like that because he's a southpaw.
brendan schaub
Let's see.
I think he was doing both.
See, he was going for a kick.
joe rogan
It was a kick.
brendan schaub
That's awful.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
Look at that.
Walk away.
bryan callen
Look at this.
unidentified
Boom!
joe rogan
Yeah, that was a kick that landed on the knee.
bryan callen
That's dangerous.
joe rogan
That looks awful.
God, it was perfect timing, though.
brendan schaub
Beautiful.
joe rogan
Holy shit.
Goddamn, that was good.
brendan schaub
He landed two of those in the first round.
bryan callen
Boom!
joe rogan
Actually, that kind of looks like a knee.
It's like he adjusted.
brendan schaub
It looks like he was going for a kick and then just fall through on the knee.
joe rogan
I think he might have adjusted and turned it into a knee.
brendan schaub
Beautiful.
bryan callen
But being a wrestler, his instinct looked like he just would keep going for that double when he got in trouble.
joe rogan
Goddamn, Ryan Baker.
Holy shit, that's huge.
brendan schaub
Such a big win for him.
Coming off that loss, dude, to get a knockout win.
Top four.
You're getting gusts for next, son.
Enjoy that.
It's a tough fight.
Joe Silva's out, so I make the matchups now.
unidentified
So is that it?
joe rogan
Is Joe Silva definitely out now?
brendan schaub
Yeah, he's retiring.
He said, I made bank, son.
joe rogan
Is he done like this year or is he done right now?
End of the year.
brendan schaub
End of the year.
unidentified
Wow.
brendan schaub
He said, I made my money.
Fuck this silly matchup stuff.
joe rogan
Wow.
That's interesting.
brendan schaub
Sean Shelby, take care of this.
eddie bravo
He must have gotten paid.
brendan schaub
That's what they say.
unidentified
What's he do after this?
brendan schaub
Just lead the troll charge online?
unidentified
Porn.
joe rogan
Joe Silva just starts doing UFC porn.
brendan schaub
Does he just lead the troll charge?
He's the head troll online now?
joe rogan
Cut to Joe Silva's next project.
Quick YouTube clip.
Him in a diaper.
Pink cage.
Bam.
Coming soon.
bryan callen
He may be short, but he's got a dick.
brendan schaub
And just all big dudes in MMA gloves.
unidentified
Boom!
joe rogan
Yeah, it's like he was going for a kick and then adjusted in mid-swing and turned into a perfect knee.
bryan callen
You can see it.
Look at this.
joe rogan
Bam!
Yeah, see how he turned to hit the knee in?
bryan callen
That's awful.
joe rogan
Yeah, beautiful.
bryan callen
Fuck, that's awful.
joe rogan
Fuck, man, that's amazing.
Good for Ryan Bader.
Congratulations.
brendan schaub
God, that's huge.
joe rogan
It's amazing that, again, that he's only 33. I mean, we've seen this dude in the UFC for a long time, but realistically, he's in his prime right now.
brendan schaub
Right now.
joe rogan
Yeah.
He's 32 to like 35. Experienced, too.
brendan schaub
Especially light heavyweight or heavyweight.
joe rogan
Around 35, 36, you start going, hmm, if you're not doing anything, how long can you keep this up?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
Yeah, if you're not on an upward trajectory, it's not going.
joe rogan
Hey, let me ask you that, because you just had Scott Coker on, who I'm a big fan of.
Such a good dude.
Yeah, great guy, and he's running Bellator now.
Wish him all the luck in the world.
Powerful Matt Hughes.
That's a chin.
That's an American chin right there.
brendan schaub
That's a fucking American haircut.
unidentified
God damn it.
joe rogan
That's an American, period.
brendan schaub
G.I. Joe, you guys.
eddie bravo
Him and Henzo in Abu Dhabi.
joe rogan
Respect.
Yeah, they're going to have a grappling match.
That's awesome.
But Scott Coker running Bellator, if you're a fighter and you know Cajun, you know you like a little help, you know, in trains sometimes we're tired and you know, just a little pick-me-up, you know, run away from the doctor and you know, no one need to know, a couple days I'll be back, my friend!
brendan schaub
My friend!
joe rogan
There's people that have been doing that since the beginning of time.
They've been taking a little something-something, and then they get to the weigh-in, and all they have to do is pass what most fighters call the intelligence test.
Don't get popped after the fight.
So it'll help you with your training.
How many guys are looking at Bellator and saying, well, there's no USADA over there?
bryan callen
I can fight longer.
joe rogan
Oh, not only longer, how about better?
brendan schaub
Yeah, better.
joe rogan
How about way better?
brendan schaub
That'd be better.
And I can have all my sponsors.
joe rogan
You know what I'm saying?
Oh, well, we can't find Brendan.
He's on a mountain somewhere in Colorado, and we can't get a piss test off of him.
Meanwhile, he's just out there, just veins coming out of your dick and your face and your tongue-ass veins.
brendan schaub
Rocky Mountain Oysters.
joe rogan
He's just doing deadlifts.
unidentified
Fuck a little TV. 34, 35, 36. Yeah, man.
joe rogan
I mean, there's a real incentive.
And then there's a financial incentive because you can keep all your sponsors.
You don't have to worry about having a Reebok paired shorts on.
You can have Nike and fucking Under Armour and Condom Depot and whatever the fuck you want.
brendan schaub
Well, that's what's going on with GSP and UFC, right?
Like, GSP goes, so I retired, but his contract freezes.
So the contract doesn't change because the last time he fought was 2013. He still has that old contract.
So when he comes back, they just go, yeah, turn the contract back on.
He's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
When I was fighting for this money from the UFC, I had Under Armour, I had all these crazy brands.
I'm making tens of millions of dollars.
So you gotta make up for that.
And they're going, no, we're good.
And he's like, no, you can't do that.
I'm fucking George St. Pierre.
joe rogan
Did you see the war of words he's been having with Dana?
Where Dana's like, he really doesn't want to fight.
He doesn't want to fight at a championship level.
And then George goes, he does not know me.
brendan schaub
He does not know me.
He goes, give me one fight and I'll show you who wants to fight.
How much money do you fucking need, UFC? Just pay the man.
joe rogan
Here's the thing from my perspective.
You can never say that a guy like George doesn't want it anymore unless he fights.
You cannot say that.
He is the greatest welterweight of all.
There's two guys.
There's Matt Hughes and there's George St. Pierre.
Those are the two, without a doubt, greatest welterweights historically ever.
So if either one of those guys wants to fight again, the last thing you can say is he doesn't want it.
Because only he knows if he wants it.
That's right.
He's the hardest motherfucker that ever weighed in at 170 pounds and fought.
And fought everybody.
eddie bravo
He might go to Bellator?
brendan schaub
No, he can't.
But he owns his contract.
joe rogan
But if I was Dana, I'd probably say the same shit.
brendan schaub
100%.
unidentified
That's what you gotta say.
All they're doing is to get him fired up.
joe rogan
I will sign your contract.
unidentified
I'll sign it!
joe rogan
I'll fucking sign it!
eddie bravo
Nah, he don't want it.
brendan schaub
I'll do it for free!
Fuck it!
Give me that Reebok kick!
joe rogan
For Quebec.
All the money will go to my country.
brendan schaub
George is too smart.
Do you hear me?
He goes, I know what Dana's trying to do.
He goes, I'm too smart to play these games.
I'll sit out.
Like, it's not going to happen.
bryan callen
Is he sitting out for more money?
Is that what the deal is?
joe rogan
Why don't you take over Joe Silva's job?
Why don't you call Dana up and say, yo, bygones.
Let's let this shit go by.
Water under the bridge.
Holler at me, dude.
brendan schaub
I got some ideas!
joe rogan
Plus, I got flavor and a number one podcast.
Come with me, son!
Let's take a ride.
brendan schaub
Let's do this.
joe rogan
Let's take a ride.
brendan schaub
Let's take a ride.
joe rogan
Come on, man.
You want to have some fun?
Have a dude that you argue with all the time, and you guys publicly have little spats.
Everybody gets excited.
brendan schaub
Come on!
Let's do this!
bryan callen
Mix it up!
joe rogan
Spit in my hand!
brendan schaub
Come on, it's all good, man!
joe rogan
Shake!
brendan schaub
I can't wear Reeboks, though.
unidentified
No Reeboks.
brendan schaub
That's the one stickler.
joe rogan
Would you wear Yeezys, you fucking dunce?
brendan schaub
You're fucking right.
You're fucking right, I would.
bryan callen
That's how Yeezys are better.
brendan schaub
I thought I had them on right now.
bryan callen
That's a large Serbian man or whatever he is.
joe rogan
Look at what I'm wearing here.
brendan schaub
Chucks.
joe rogan
These are like some slick-looking Chucks, but these are old-school Chuck Taylor Converse.
brendan schaub
I'm not mad at them.
joe rogan
You feel the ground.
brendan schaub
Those are classics.
joe rogan
Quite flexible.
brendan schaub
Fashion.
joe rogan
Easy, son.
brendan schaub
They're not comfortable.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
How dare you?
unidentified
How dare you?
brendan schaub
For a long day, there's not much comfort.
Although they redid the soles on those.
joe rogan
I don't like the new ones.
brendan schaub
Nike makes the soles now.
joe rogan
I don't like the new ones as much.
I wear them.
I like them.
They're okay.
I should say I don't like them.
I prefer these.
Those are second.
brendan schaub
You prefer the old school fucking wood bottoms.
joe rogan
Yeah, like these, man.
These ones that...
Oh, what's this guy's name?
brendan schaub
Those are new, son.
unidentified
BM Footwear.
joe rogan
But these are not new.
These are the old school Converse.
unidentified
Instagram, BM Footwear.
joe rogan
Check them out.
BM Footwear.
VM. Don't go BM. There's body, bowel movement.
brendan schaub
Nah, even these are upgraded, son.
joe rogan
I don't have to believe so, buddy.
brendan schaub
Yeah, feel the soul.
Feel the inside.
bryan callen
Oh, Brennan, no shoes.
unidentified
You can see it.
bryan callen
Brennan, no shoes.
unidentified
There's Lunarlon on there.
joe rogan
Where?
unidentified
Is it green?
brendan schaub
No, no, they're not the Nike Lunar.
The padding on the bottom is thicker than what they used to be.
unidentified
Way thicker.
joe rogan
Okay, the inside, like the insole?
brendan schaub
Yeah, but it's not the Nike Lunar.
They're still fucking hardest.
joe rogan
The sole's the same, but the insole's quite a little bit thicker.
Either way, that's what I like.
I like old school chucks, because they're flat.
That's like how your foot's supposed to be.
When you wear things with an elevated heel, like a running shoe, it's not really supposed to be very good for you.
bryan callen
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah, your body doesn't want to be elevated in your heel like that.
You're supposed to wear some- Like cowboy boots?
Like, Eddie, when you lifted, you would always lift with these on, right?
brendan schaub
Yep.
joe rogan
Yeah, they're real thin.
bryan callen
That's why I wear ninja slippers.
brendan schaub
That's a fucking shoe there, Joe.
Can we get you to wear some Yeezys?
No.
Why?
bryan callen
Those are goofy.
joe rogan
They're the worst shoe running in those things.
Look, why does it have a thin sole where the toes are- It's a running shoe.
Shut your fucking mouth.
A fat soul down there.
Why?
brendan schaub
For pure comfort.
joe rogan
Nobody's running in those.
It's a running shoe.
unidentified
People work out on them all the time, too.
joe rogan
How dare you.
brendan schaub
You do not work out on these.
unidentified
I don't.
joe rogan
People do, though, at the gym.
bryan callen
I just don't think that they're that cool looking.
I don't like them.
brendan schaub
Well, you're 50. I don't think you're the demographic.
bryan callen
Nah, they still just don't.
You wouldn't know, though.
Aesthetically, they kind of suck, dude.
brendan schaub
You wouldn't know, though.
joe rogan
You and Jamie are on the wrong side of history with these stupid shoes.
unidentified
I don't think so.
brendan schaub
Well, I have cons, too.
bryan callen
You're gonna look back on those shoes like people do, and you're gonna be like, I can't believe I wore those back in the movie.
brendan schaub
You know what I will never look back on?
Me wearing sandals with jeans like you do all the time.
You just can't do that.
bryan callen
Jesus did it, so kiss my ass.
I guess Jesus is wrong, too.
I always forget about Gustafson when I think about the division.
Such a badass.
joe rogan
Well, and also Gustafson is one of those guys that's been talking about retirement.
He's talked about ending it soon.
brendan schaub
He went down to San Diego because he wanted to find the passion again, and I guess he still didn't find it.
So that's why they kind of...
joe rogan
Are you sure?
brendan schaub
This is kind of a toss-up fight.
Yeah, you were saying he's still having some struggles with it.
joe rogan
Well, he's been public about that?
brendan schaub
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
While training for this fight?
That might be a trap.
unidentified
Who is the guy he's fighting?
brendan schaub
Compared to Gustafson, he's a joke.
joe rogan
Well, he's not a joke.
He's just inexperienced in comparison to Gustafson.
But he's a dangerous guy.
He's from Poland.
They don't fuck around, dude.
brendan schaub
Gustafson is the fucking...
You know what I'm saying?
He's that one percenter.
He almost beat fucking DC. He almost beat John.
And then he got that freak knockout by Johnson.
He's lost to just the one percent of one percent.
joe rogan
True, true.
True, true.
brendan schaub
It's tough, man.
joe rogan
Yeah, Blakovich is certainly, this is like, without a doubt, like the toughest fight he's ever had.
bryan callen
That guy looks like a bad guy from the James Bond movie.
The guy on his right, look at that guy.
brendan schaub
Yeah, he really does.
bryan callen
Jesus, he looks tough.
Definitely killed people.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's like the guy that James Bond has to fight in like an elevator and he kills him with a pen.
bryan callen
He looks rough.
Like the suit, he's wearing a suit and it's just, it's impossible to be elegant with that.
He just looks brutal.
brendan schaub
It's not a well-tailored suit either, is it?
bryan callen
It doesn't look...
He's not at home in a suit.
He's at home in camo.
joe rogan
Camo?
bryan callen
With a knife.
Or a line cloth.
joe rogan
Did he leave his Yeezys at home?
bryan callen
That guy doesn't wear the Yeezys.
brendan schaub
Well, he can't get ahold of them.
Yeezys melt off the fence.
They're so exclusive.
They're tough to get ahold of them.
joe rogan
What about fake Yeezys from China?
Is that super popular?
brendan schaub
It's super popular, but it's very easy to tell.
Me and Brian were at lunch the other day, and four guys had him on.
I went, Brian, you want to see fake Yeezys?
How could you tell?
bryan callen
He's got an eye, man.
He's got an eagle eye for that show.
joe rogan
How could you tell?
brendan schaub
There's little things.
Like, on the Converse, you know, like, maybe the star is black on that Converse.
On the Yeezys, the stitching on the back's different.
The space between the soles is different.
joe rogan
He's like a sneaker connoisseur.
bryan callen
It's unbelievable.
joe rogan
It's like smelling him like a fun one.
bryan callen
He'll have long conversations about it.
brendan schaub
No, no.
joe rogan
The glue is from Indonesia.
brendan schaub
This is fake.
unidentified
Ha, ha, ha.
brendan schaub
You know what it is, Joe?
It'd be the same if someone bought a Z28 and then put SS badges on it.
You're like, well, those rims are different.
The exhaust is different.
The interior's different.
Let me see the engine.
You're like, God damn it.
You're honeydicking me.
This ain't a fucking SS. Cars are just like shoes.
joe rogan
Exactly.
brendan schaub
Details.
It's all in the details, kids.
joe rogan
Exactly.
bryan callen
All in the deets.
brendan schaub
Dude, how about your boy Damian Maia?
joe rogan
Dude.
Dude, his jujitsu is so next level.
For him to do that to Condit, just slice through him like butter?
brendan schaub
Dude, can you imagine?
Let's say Wonderboy beats Woodley, and then you have Damian Maia vs.
Wonderboy.
It would be like Hot Tub Time Machine 1993. Because you have one guy who just does jujitsu, One guy that just does stand-up in 2016. He doesn't just do jiu-jitsu.
eddie bravo
The reason why he's able to pull off his beautiful jiu-jitsu is because of his wrestling.
He can take everybody down at 170. It doesn't matter.
brendan schaub
For sure.
unidentified
For sure.
brendan schaub
But it's still one aspect of MMA compared to one aspect of MMA in 2016. Right.
But at the highest of highest levels, it's fucking dope.
joe rogan
It's a throwback.
It is pretty dope.
brendan schaub
It's dope.
It's like Hot Top Time Machine, but we just, you know what I'm saying?
They went back, but their skills are ridiculous.
joe rogan
It's so equivalent, because one guy's this elite, world-class striker, and the other guy's this elite, world-class grappler, who, like, they could compete outside of the UFC, In striking or in grappling.
If Wonderboy took on a kickboxing bout in Glory, he'd be very competitive with some of the best kickboxers in the world.
And if Damien Maia entered into a major jiu-jitsu competition tomorrow, he'd be very competitive against some of the best grapplers in the world.
It's really crazy.
brendan schaub
It's cool, right?
Isn't it cool in 2016 to have that crazy dynamic?
I can't think of last time something like...
eddie bravo
Generally, most UFC fighters, most of them, They couldn't go into, like, Abu Dhabi or even EBI and they would get smashed.
brendan schaub
Unless they're a high-level wrestler.
Yeah, it'd be tough.
eddie bravo
Yeah, and even high-level wrestler, like in the submission-only tournament, they've got leg locks.
unidentified
In Abu Dhabi, well, submission-only, but, like, EBI different.
brendan schaub
Abu Dhabi, there's some high-level wrestlers, guys that jump in there with not a ton of jutsu experience.
eddie bravo
Exactly.
In Abu Dhabi, because of the point system, wrestling becomes fucking everything.
brendan schaub
Correct.
That's why you can see some guys go in and compete.
eddie bravo
All the Brazilians, when they're getting ready for Abu Dhabi, they're going to wrestling camps.
Maybe with the church boys and all that.
bryan callen
Because Abu Dhabi counts takedowns or what?
joe rogan
We should just explain that Abu Dhabi is the Abu Dhabi Combat Club.
This is like the biggest submission for jiu-jitsu.
Yeah.
Sheik Tak Noon, the guy who owns, I think he owns 10% of the UFC. He also is a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Henzo Gracie.
And he puts on these grappling competitions that are just monstrous.
They spend money, and they have the best fighters in the world, and they put together...
They should really adopt EBI rules, dude.
brendan schaub
It's like blood sport for jiu-jitsu.
joe rogan
EBI rules need to be standard, edgy brah.
eddie bravo
You know what?
EBI wrestlers are going to get fucked up.
Many tournaments are switching.
joe rogan
I see it.
eddie bravo
Many, many tournaments are switching to EBI rules now.
brendan schaub
That makes sense.
joe rogan
Sonnen went to it.
Chael Sonnen's tournament went to it.
brendan schaub
They did?
joe rogan
Yep.
It's smart.
It's the most exciting set of rules by far.
brendan schaub
By far.
Not even close.
eddie bravo
Thank you, man.
brendan schaub
Thank you.
eddie bravo
You guys going to the show next week?
joe rogan
Jihad.
eddie bravo
Are you going?
joe rogan
Yeah, Jihad.
unidentified
Sunday?
You going?
brendan schaub
Where's it at?
eddie bravo
Next Sunday at the Orpheum.
LA? LA, downtown at the Orpheum.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I'll be there.
unidentified
Let's go.
eddie bravo
Get your tickets at ebiofficial.com.
unidentified
We're in.
We're in.
eddie bravo
Oh, for sure?
What about you, Brian?
bryan callen
I'll come.
eddie bravo
Next Sunday, it's going to be fucking amazing.
Gordon Ryan.
bryan callen
I might be in New York City.
unidentified
Gordon Ryan is the best jiu-jitsu player on the planet right now.
bryan callen
I'm doing Gotham Comedy Club.
September 16th and 17th.
When is it?
joe rogan
September 11th.
bryan callen
I'll be around.
eddie bravo
Tower 7 day.
Did you guys see Gordon Ryan versus Keenan Cornelius go for, what, 90 minutes?
joe rogan
90 minutes, yeah.
brendan schaub
Keenan's a monster.
eddie bravo
Keenan's a monster, but Gordon Ryan beat him, man.
Tapped him.
joe rogan
20 years old.
Kid's been training jiu-jitsu four and a half years.
eddie bravo
Jesus Christ!
But Keenan Cornelius is going to do EBI November 6th.
We're doing the light heavyweights, and Gordon Ryan's going to do that one as well.
brendan schaub
I love Keenan.
eddie bravo
But next Sunday is 185. Next Sunday is 185. It's the middleweights, EBI, downtown LA, the Orpheum.
joe rogan
What time does it start?
eddie bravo
At 5 o'clock.
Okay, cool.
It's going to be on UFC Fight Pass, but for those of you that don't live in Southern California.
joe rogan
Yeah, UFC Fight Pass, stepping up.
I love it.
eddie bravo
Yeah, man.
joe rogan
It's so cool that they did that.
Okay, here we go.
We got Gustafsson versus Blachowicz.
Gustafsson got checked.
brendan schaub
I would be willing to bet if Gustafsson, for whatever reason, loses his fight, is done fighting.
joe rogan
Blachowicz with a right hand over the top.
brendan schaub
Gustafsson's so fucking big.
joe rogan
I think you say Blachowicz is the way you're supposed to say it.
brendan schaub
Blahovitch?
joe rogan
I'm saying Blahovitch.
brendan schaub
I think it's Blahovitch.
I like Blahovitch.
Just call him the block, son.
joe rogan
The block.
brendan schaub
Talking about the block?
joe rogan
The blow-ho.
The blow-ho?
No, that doesn't work.
Yeah.
brendan schaub
I like the block.
The blow-ho.
joe rogan
Oh, fuck!
He's, um...
brendan schaub
I don't like the way Justin's looking.
joe rogan
Blachowicz keeps his head right in the center when he's throwing bombs against a really elite guy.
He stiffens up a little bit when he's standing up.
He could get clipped with counters.
brendan schaub
Gus and I trained together for my Mitrione fight, and he went six rounds with a world-class boxer, and it was fucking a war, and then jumped in and went three rounds with me back-to-back.
He's a fucking animal.
joe rogan
He's a fucking animal.
He's a tough guy.
And you know what?
I mean...
brendan schaub
Powerful CM Punk for Mickey Gall sponsor on the back there.
What are you saying?
joe rogan
What are you saying?
Oh, right there on the wall?
brendan schaub
That's ridiculous.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, I mean, he's a famous guy.
Look, the CM Punk thing, the thing that's most interesting about it is that he took all his time.
Whoa, Blachowicz is throwing some bombs.
But he's stiff.
Stiff with the neck.
Stiff in there.
He's like...
brendan schaub
Gus Fin's reach is so good, man.
joe rogan
Not in this fight.
brendan schaub
Not in this fight.
But usually it's fucking on point.
His jab's world class.
joe rogan
Well, Blachowicz is fighting really well.
brendan schaub
Yeah, he's fighting really, really well.
joe rogan
He's very stiff.
He's using up a lot of energy.
brendan schaub
I'll tell you what a surprise is.
Gustvin's wrestling, man.
His counter-wrestling is amazing.
joe rogan
Well, when he took John down in the first round, everybody was like, oh, shit.
brendan schaub
Called that.
Because I was wrestling with his ass.
I'm like, Jesus Christ.
joe rogan
Do you really think he was going to take John down?
I did.
brendan schaub
I called it.
unidentified
Wow.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's hilarious.
brendan schaub
Because his wrestling's so unexpected and good.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
That's impressive.
brendan schaub
He's so big for a 205 or two, man.
He's tall as shit.
bryan callen
6'5", man.
joe rogan
Yeah, I always wonder, what does a guy like that walk around at?
brendan schaub
He's like high 220s, 230s sometimes.
joe rogan
So with a guy like him, do you think there'd be any benefit in a rigorous strength and conditioning program and moving up?
brendan schaub
To heavyweight?
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
I mean, him versus Stipe would be a hell of a fight, but I think when you fight guys like Rothwell, like Stipe, JDS, Kane, I think he might be alright.
I don't know if he doesn't possess the power.
That's the problem.
joe rogan
I don't know, man.
He's knocked guys out.
He knocked Jimmy Manoa out.
brendan schaub
Name a high-level guy that he's knocked out, though.
joe rogan
Well, Manoa's pretty high-level.
brendan schaub
Take it easy.
Let's just be real.
When you're talking about John Jones, DC, you're talking about 1%ers.
joe rogan
But the only guy out of that group that stopped him was Rumble.
And Rumble could stop anybody.
And if you look at the way Rumble stopped him, it's actually arguably more impressive that he lasted as long as he did when Rumble was bombing on him.
But those extra shots that he took, those don't help you.
brendan schaub
Not at all.
What's like...
Oh, my God.
Oh, shit.
He's making a dogfight.
What's like Carlos Condit, right?
Like, he loses that fight, and he's like, I don't know if I want to do this anymore.
Then I heard his coach on the interview, Brandon Gibson, powerful Brandon Gibson.
There's his wrestling.
I don't know if he wants to do it anymore.
He wants to move on, do other stuff.
It's time to get out, man.
He can still beat 90...
8% of the division, but still, man, get the fuck out, Condit.
joe rogan
He's also a smart guy.
brendan schaub
Very smart.
joe rogan
And when you're that smart, you're aware, like, okay, how many more shots am I going to be able to take?
brendan schaub
Well, he was at like, what was he, 16, 17, doing Valley Tudo bare knuckle boxing and shit?
Like, he's a nightmare.
bryan callen
That age?
joe rogan
Yeah.
He fought his first ever kickboxing match against Andy Sauer, who's a world champion.
brendan schaub
Yeah, if you don't know Andy Sowers, fucking Google or YouTube him.
bryan callen
I marvel at Condit, how good he's always been.
joe rogan
Yeah, Andy Sauer is like a phenom, like a world champion, multiple-time world champion.
That was Carlos' first kickboxing bout.
It's so insane that he took that fight.
brendan schaub
He's done bare-knuckle stuff.
He's just been fighting forever, man.
So the head trauma, like you said, he's a smart guy.
He talks about it.
He's open about it.
bryan callen
What's he talking about?
He said about head trauma and stuff?
brendan schaub
Yeah, just like it's a concern of his, and he doesn't know if he wants to keep doing it and stuff like that.
He has a second or third baby on the way, I think.
bryan callen
He's probably got some money in the bank, I hope.
joe rogan
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know how much money he's made.
brendan schaub
It's tough with a guy like that.
He's an interim champ, right?
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
And then he's always fought top five level, but to really make that crazy retirement money, you've got to beat a guy like GSP, Conor, you know what I'm saying?
joe rogan
Yeah, or you got to figure out some way to market yourself outside of the UFC. I mean, it's got to be something like Alan Joban's doing modeling.
You know, you broke off into podcasting.
There's got to be, like, another way as well.
But to only rely on your success in athletic contests to make your money?
brendan schaub
You almost have to, Joe.
Because Damien Maia's not thinking about making money anywhere else.
eddie bravo
Condit right now can open up an MMA gym and make plenty of money.
brendan schaub
That's tough, man.
I think that's easier said than done.
eddie bravo
No, it's not that hard.
You're a UFC fighter.
brendan schaub
The UFC gyms would beg to differ.
joe rogan
Verdooms, verdooms.
brendan schaub
I'm just saying in general, if you go off the general consensus of opening a gym, you don't get your money back returned within four years.
It's not a smart business to go into.
If you're a black belt and you're a legit, if you're a UFC fighter and you're a black belt, and you're not, I'm in the, this is my business.
You're a great teacher.
unidentified
No, he doesn't even have to teach.
eddie bravo
He doesn't trust me.
He could make plenty of money with just his own gym.
Have two gyms.
Super easy.
You just gotta be a black belt at the marketing.
Learn the marketing.
Learn how to do it.
He's got a black belt and he's a UFC fighter.
I know guys that are purple belts that are making a living.
They just have the marketing down.
It's huge.
It's still growing.
It's expanding.
Jiu-Jitsu schools and MMA gyms done right.
It really is like the gold rush.
I agree 100%.
It's wide open.
brendan schaub
Now you're assuming he has the money put down to open a gym.
eddie bravo
She could do it easy.
Easy.
A million percent.
Easy.
Carlos Condon?
That guy's a famous UFC star and a black belt?
brendan schaub
I'm not saying he can't.
I think to assume a guy can open a gym and make a shitload of money is tough.
eddie bravo
A million percent.
A million percent.
brendan schaub
So anyone in the UFC could do it?
eddie bravo
If you're a black belt, if you're a legit black belt and you've had success in the UFC, like I just said, I've had guys that haven't been in the UFC, not even black belts, and they're It is two different skills.
You just gotta know the business.
brendan schaub
That's a big if, though.
Am I wrong here, Joe?
Running a business and knowing how to fight is a completely different world.
eddie bravo
Yes, that's why I said if you master the marketing and the business side.
brendan schaub
That's a big if.
joe rogan
If you learn how to speak Spanish, you could write awesome books.
eddie bravo
No, but it's easier than learning Spanish.
It's easier than that.
joe rogan
I believe it.
eddie bravo
The motivation is there too because it's like your money and it's your family.
It's not that hard at all.
joe rogan
Learning how to coach.
eddie bravo
I'm dealing with this every day.
I deal with this every day.
brendan schaub
And you're brilliant at it.
joe rogan
It doesn't mean it's easy though.
There's a lot of guys that are just not good at coaching.
eddie bravo
But it's easy.
It's easy.
All you gotta do is know the system and work hard.
That's it.
You work hard.
If you're lazy, it ain't gonna happen.
joe rogan
Yeah, but that's the truth of everything.
There's so many people that are looking for things to be happening.
eddie bravo
No, no, but there's a lot of things that require just shit that you could never learn, like being a stand-up comedian.
Not everybody can do that, right?
Not everybody could be a singer.
Not everybody.
But everybody can do certain things in business.
All you gotta do is do the work and not be lazy, and you can make it happen.
You don't need special talent.
joe rogan
Blachowicz cannot get off his back.
brendan schaub
Powerful wrestling by Alexander.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's getting smushed.
He's getting a lot of elbows.
eddie bravo
I agree with you, Brandon, a million percent.
Once a fighter starts doubting whether they have the heart, I think it's time to just transition.
brendan schaub
Especially a guy like Carlos.
eddie bravo
It's time to transition.
joe rogan
It's also an absolute fact that when you get hit in the head a lot, it starts to affect your enthusiasm.
It starts to affect your endocrine system.
There's a potential, like, you know, I know a guy who's a world-class boxer, and I know a friend who trains him, who said that he absolutely has pituitary gland damage, and he has a really hard time getting the energy up to train.
They had his testosterone checked and it's just ridiculously low.
And there's nothing they can do about it because the supplement is illegal.
So they can't supplement his testosterone.
So this guy is forced to fight with low testosterone, low enthusiasm.
He just can't muster up the kind of performances he had earlier in his career.
And that's super common, man.
When you see fighters slow down as they get older, it is not just because they're older.
It's because they're older and they've taken a lot of punishment.
Those are the big factors.
bryan callen
And it causes a physiological change in their body.
joe rogan
Yep.
Well, you see some guys like Chinzo Machida.
Chinzo's like 39 years old, but he doesn't have a lot of fights on him.
And so he's fighting in Bellator now.
He looks like a world-beater.
He looks fucking fantastic.
brendan schaub
He's a starching dude.
joe rogan
Knees, kicks, starching good.
He looks like his brother in a lot of ways.
He looks like Lyoto.
Maybe even a little more aggressive than Lyoto.
brendan schaub
He's aggressive.
He's more wild, I would say.
bryan callen
How's his jiu-jitsu and stuff?
joe rogan
Very good.
Well, he's an elite martial artist.
He's an elite martial artist.
eddie bravo
Chinzo Machida.
brendan schaub
Such a good guy, too.
joe rogan
I bet.
brendan schaub
Oh, he's a good guy.
joe rogan
Well, Leoto's an awesome guy.
brendan schaub
Yeah, they're all great.
joe rogan
But the point being that that guy hasn't taken a lot of mileage, so even though he's 39 years old, he looks fucking good.
He doesn't look like a 39-year-old guy who's at the tail end of a long MMA career, and he's got all these injuries he's constantly struggling against and can't get through camp without getting hurt.
It's not like that.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
joe rogan
You're looking at a guy who's...
brendan schaub
Well, that's like the CM Punk argument, right?
He's 37 or 38, whatever he is, and he has a lot of injuries coming from professional wrestling, and he's never done the sport, so then he has to train two years and then go into it.
You're talking about a different animal.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's not a good fucking...
It's not like, if you look at it like a plan.
Like, this is the way I want to get into MMA. It's not a good plan, but this is the plan that he was dealt.
I mean, he's 37 years old.
He decides he's going to do it now.
He does a lot of things that I like.
He goes to Rufus Sport, which is an outstanding gym.
brendan schaub
One of the best.
joe rogan
He's working with world-class trainers and world-class sparring partners.
And then on top of that, he took two whole years.
So it's as good as the guy could do.
brendan schaub
Two whole years?
joe rogan
Two whole years.
eddie bravo
Think about...
Damien Maia's damage he's taken throughout his career.
He hasn't really taken any damage.
brendan schaub
He's taken 13 punches in his last, what, four fights?
joe rogan
Yeah, 13. It's incredible.
brendan schaub
What the fuck?
eddie bravo
What fight was he involved in that he received the most damage?
joe rogan
Nate Marquardt starched him with one punch.
eddie bravo
Oh, really?
joe rogan
Knocked him out?
brendan schaub
Knocked him out.
bryan callen
He went to kick.
brendan schaub
He struggled for a while there.
eddie bravo
You know what he did?
He figured there's a guy who broke down all his jujitsu on YouTube into four parts.
It's pretty fucking interesting.
You go through his early decisions on the ground to the decisions he's making now.
He has got this path.
The passes that he's using now, he kind of tripods and it's kind of like a smash pass.
He gets to top half.
He knows that if he just hovers over, keeps his head on his opponent's chest, and he's pinning him down, and he gets to top half.
He doesn't even need to pass, and then he turns.
He's not taking any damage.
Then he goes to three-quarter mount, and then from there he throws a couple punches.
The guy gives him his back because in three-quarter mount you basically already have a hook in.
He's figured out this path, nice and simple.
There's so many things you can do as a jiu-jitsu black belt to pass your first initial move.
There's all these passes.
He has chosen the passes.
To the mount and to the back, that path is the best path in MMA. He's 38 too, right?
joe rogan
39. He's 39. 38 or 39, I'm not sure.
brendan schaub
If he's smart, if I'm his management, and people get mad when I do this shit, but he's not fighting anyone until he gets a title shot.
Six in a row, you don't fight anyone.
joe rogan
Well, you know what's really interesting?
Jake Shields beat him, and he out-grappled him.
brendan schaub
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Look at the list Jake Shields beat.
joe rogan
Don't ever forget how goddamn good Jake Shields is.
And he just submitted Leota Machida, by the way, in a grappling competition.
brendan schaub
And he beat Woodley.
He beat Woodley.
You know, he's beat everyone.
Look at the top five guys.
joe rogan
Jake Shields beat him.
bryan callen
Didn't he fight Robbie Lawler and beat Robbie?
brendan schaub
He beat Robbie, yeah.
joe rogan
Submitted him.
Submitted him.
Standing guillotine.
Jumped up, grabbed ahold of his neck, and Robbie was like, um, what's this?
This is a world-class squeeze, son.
bryan callen
This is a vegan squeeze.
eddie bravo
Look at what Maya's doing on his back.
What Maya's doing on his back, there's a million things you can do.
There's all these styles.
He's keeping it nice and simple.
All Damon Maya is looking for when he's on his back is the underhook.
Everything is a setup to the underhook.
He gets in a Z-guard.
He times the punch.
As soon as you throw a right punch, he shoots in.
He has a Z-guard, then he shoots in, grabs the underhook, and either gets on top and they stand, just like Chuck Liddell used to do with the underhook, or he uses that to sweep him like he'll get into dogfight and he'll go through him.
He keeps it simple.
joe rogan
When I see a guy like him, I want to see him fight a guy who's a world-class jiu-jitsu guy with a wicked guard.
Like a Braulio Estima.
Like someone who's nasty off of his back.
bryan callen
You want to see Damien?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
eddie bravo
He's going to do the exact same path, whether the guy knows jiu-jitsu or not.
The path that he's chosen, from the bottom and from the top, no matter who he's going with, that's the best path.
When there's no gi, when there's punches, when there's elbows, Damien Maia is just...
Just dwindled everything down, keeping it nice and simple.
On his back, it's just the underhook.
joe rogan
I'm sure he would do it, but my question is, would he be able to execute that kind of a strategy against a guy like Braulio Esteeman?
It would be harder.
Yeah, that's why I want to see it.
I want to see what a guy with a world-class guard.
Braulio does a lot of weird stuff, too.
He's got that triangle that he does, that underneath triangle.
You know that weird backwards triangle he does?
unidentified
Is he doing MMA? Yeah, he's doing MMA. He's doing some fights.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's doing some fights.
eddie bravo
Holy shit.
bryan callen
When I watch someone like Damian Maia, because I don't have that much of a trained eye, it doesn't look like he's doing anything different than everybody else when he takes your back or when he's on top of you and he's controlling you.
And what's interesting is the subtlety of jiu-jitsu on that level that unless you have a cultivated eye...
It just looks like he's wearing him like a sweater.
He's controlling the arm.
He's coming in.
He somehow gets that figure four around his stomach.
But there's no way you're getting that dude off.
You're not getting him off.
And why?
Someone like Carlos Kanda can't even get him off.
And Carlos Kanda is experienced as anybody.
And that's where that level of mastery is so subtle and almost invisible.
It's hard to see unless you really know what the hell he's doing.
Because a lot of it seems to be like where he's putting his weight, those little differences, how he's countering, how he's predicting what you're going to do before you do it.
eddie bravo
Well, that path that Maya is on, the techniques that he's putting together, the treasure map that he's on, Carlos Condit probably wasn't getting someone on a daily basis at a high level hitting him with that specific path.
Those moves that he chose, that he strung together, nice and simple, nice and tight.
And, you know, you gotta prepare for something as simple as that.
You gotta prepare for someone coming at you exactly like that.
Because everything that Maya chooses, all those positions are the best positions for MMA. No doubt.
He's got a path.
bryan callen
He's figured it out.
eddie bravo
Yeah, he's figured out the path.
There's a million moves, but he's got the path, and it's the same shit he's doing over and over.
joe rogan
You know, I want to see guys like, you know, Rafael Lovato is now getting into MMA, and he's had a few MMA fights outside of the UFC. He's going to do well.
He's going to smash guys.
It's a very similar style.
That top, heavy pressure just grinds, it smashes, and squishes you.
unidentified
It's all about those moves.
bryan callen
One position or the next, like these small, methodical, one position.
His chest is on you.
He's so heavy.
joe rogan
It's all Hicks and Gracie lineage.
Hicks and Gracie, Salo Hibero, and he's with Salo.
It's like that old-school, solid jiu-jitsu.
Like, that fucking scary, perfect-based jiu-jitsu.
eddie bravo
It's really more the specific...
You can't breathe.
It's the specific moves that he's choosing.
It's how he's doing...
It's not like he could have picked...
joe rogan
Are you talking about Damian?
bryan callen
I'm talking about Maia.
joe rogan
We're talking about Rafael Lovato.
eddie bravo
So he does have that smashing, high-level jiu-jitsu, but there have been a bunch of high-level jiu-jitsu guys trying to transition into the UFC. The problem is they're not selecting the moves that Damian Maia is selecting.
Everybody in MMA right now, if you're not studying, if you're in the UFC, And you are not studying exactly the moves that Damien Maia has chosen and the path, it's all laid out for you.
That's the path you need to get on.
There's a lot of different jujitsu techniques, a lot of different styles of playing guard, different guard passing styles.
There's all this shit you can decide to do in the mountain, three-quarter mountain, all these decisions.
Damien Maia's making all the right decisions.
If you're not studying his shit, I mean, there's something wrong with you and your coach.
brendan schaub
Look how long it took Damien to get there.
He went through some shit to figure out himself as a fighter.
eddie bravo
There's an evolution.
He wasn't choosing that exact path early on.
brendan schaub
He was trying to stand too much.
eddie bravo
On the bottom, he was always about the underhook from his early days.
But what he changed is he doesn't sit...
When he's on top, he never sits into...
A Z half guard.
He calls it headquarters.
He doesn't sit into that anymore because when he wants people to sit into Z guard when he's on bottom, because from there he just waits for you to throw a right punch and he times it.
He shoots for the underhook because you just left a big ass opening and from there he gets to dogfight.
That's all he's waiting for.
So he doesn't want to do that because he knows that that's actually the wrong thing to do.
So he tripods when he's in that headquarter position and he gets up and he drives his head down and then he maneuvers his way into top half and then he turns towards it.
It's really simple.
It's not like he's mixing it up.
joe rogan
Right.
unidentified
He knows the best shit in MMA. He's doing the same path over and over and over again.
brendan schaub
You know who else is in the MMA recently?
I just found out that Tiffany Van Hoos, the Tiffany Time Bomb.
She fights in Invicta, I think, next week or two weeks.
joe rogan
Is it her first MMA fight?
brendan schaub
I think so.
It's her first MMA fight.
eddie bravo
Was she a Jiu-Jitsu?
joe rogan
No.
Muay Thai.
World champion.
brendan schaub
World champ Muay Thai.
joe rogan
Nasty.
Little tiny girl.
She's 115, right?
brendan schaub
115, yeah.
But when you look at the women's division, she's going to be in the UFC. C-C-C-C. Quick!
Knocking bitches out, too.
Tana's fucked.
joe rogan
If she can avoid the takedown, it's going to be interesting.
She's a great base.
She's in Joanna's division.
brendan schaub
That's what I'm saying, yeah.
bryan callen
Jamie, bring her up for a sec.
Let me see your Tiffany time moments.
eddie bravo
Isn't it crazy that just maybe four years ago, women being huge in the UFC was...
I mean, most people thought that would never happen.
bryan callen
Good-looking woman, too.
brendan schaub
Yeah, she's beautiful.
She's beautiful.
She's a world champion Muay Thai, and she...
I think she lives in Bali, but then she does her camps out here.
She's doing it right, man.
joe rogan
She's badass.
brendan schaub
Badass.
Have you seen her on AXS TV just knocking bitches out left and right?
joe rogan
Yeah, all the time.
And with little gloves, it's going to be very interesting.
brendan schaub
And I think she's training at Alliance down there, too.
joe rogan
Is she?
brendan schaub
Part of it.
joe rogan
Good move.
brendan schaub
She has her same striking coach for Muay Thai, but then I think she's doing some at Alliance.
joe rogan
There's just going to be a level of technique that she has that most girls just are not going to be able to hang with.
brendan schaub
She has such a big advantage.
joe rogan
Except for Joanna.
Juana's pretty fucking high level, dude.
brendan schaub
I agree, but let Tiff get a few fights, then you got yourself a real barn burner.
Because everyone else in that division can't even match up with a striking-wise.
Tiff can.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, there's a lot of dangerous kickboxing women that are coming over now, like Valentina Shevchenko.
You see when she fought Holly Holm?
No, she's fighting in the UFC. She beat Holly Holm.
brendan schaub
Do you know who I'm talking about in Bellator, the chicken in Bellator?
joe rogan
No, but Valentina, when you see all her years of Muay Thai experience at a world championship level, when she fights someone like Holly, you get to see that.
You're like, oh, there's levels to this shit.
brendan schaub
Plus they've been there.
joe rogan
Yeah, that check hook that you kept nailing it with, that check right hook.
Holly got rattled early in the first round.
You realize the timing is very different for someone who's that good.
brendan schaub
Plus those girls that come from that super high-level background of striking with boxing, Muay Thai, whatever it is.
You don't really see women come from a high-level background other than those two.
The ones that do, I have such...
Some of them.
joe rogan
Mackenzie Dern, she's in now.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but there's someone in the UFC with high-level jiu-jitsu who's killing it.
joe rogan
Well, she's not in it yet, but I mean, there's women out there.
eddie bravo
She had one fight.
joe rogan
Mackenzie Dern, yeah.
I'm not saying in the UFC, yeah.
brendan schaub
I'm just saying, Joe...
From history with women's fighting, usually they come from that high-level striking background.
They have such an advantage because they've been in the live fire.
You know what I'm saying?
unidentified
For sure.
brendan schaub
So when they get in the UFC and they're fighting a girl who maybe she just likes to fight and do it all, when they fight these super high-level strikers, they're fucked, man.
unidentified
Yep.
brendan schaub
A lot of them.
eddie bravo
That's why, you know, they're going to need that wrestling and that jiu-jitsu.
And another thing about Damon Mai is when he gets the back, a lot of people get the back in MMA, but he's on that Marcelo Garcia level, but when he gets your back, he knows how to close and he knows how to finish.
It takes so long to have that master.
Because anybody can get on the back and put the leg hooks in and then they've got the overrun fight.
unidentified
But people, to be able to close that shit...
brendan schaub
With gloves, it's tough.
eddie bravo
It takes a while, and he got to the point.
Now, in the beginning, he probably wasn't really known for taking people's backs and choking them really, really easily.
It took a while, but now, man, when he gets your back, it's very hard to escape.
Unless you're high level.
Unless you're already at a black belt.
But, you know, he gets...
brendan schaub
Carlos is a black belt.
eddie bravo
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Different...
Levels.
eddie bravo
How many rear naked chokes has Damian Maia gotten?
joe rogan
Six.
brendan schaub
The record's seven.
The record's seven with Kenny Florian.
joe rogan
It's not just that.
It's like when he gets to that position, you doesn't even have to get under your chin.
He just squeezes your fucking head.
eddie bravo
All that shit is in the jaw.
That's what it's all about.
Closing the deal.
Making you tap.
He knows how to make you tap.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Somebody played an interesting video, they sent it to me on Twitter, of one of Hickson's black belts in Australia.
This guy's doing this demonstration with a rear naked choke, and he was saying that the rear naked choke is all about the legs.
And so he's got the rear naked choke on and just using his legs, obviously like stretching the body out, but applying pressure just with his legs.
And he was like, that's what the rear naked choke's all about.
I'm like...
Man, I see what you're doing, and I think that is definitely...
It's huge.
It adds pressure.
It adds power.
But to me, I think the most important thing is the squeeze.
eddie bravo
All of it.
Every ounce of your body is perfect.
Everything's got to be perfect.
Your butt, your hips, your shoulders, your neck.
Everything has to be perfect.
That's a high-level squeeze.
It's everything.
joe rogan
Like Gary Tonin.
Didn't he win EBI? He got a rear-naked choke with no hooks in.
eddie bravo
If you got a world-class squeeze and you get a clean angle on the neck, if it's clean and deep and you're under the chin, you don't need the leg hooks no more.
I forget who he did that to, but he did that in EBI 5. It was fucking awesome.
joe rogan
I forget who he did it to, too.
So, the guy's right.
Legs definitely have a huge factor.
And when someone's got your back, and they have really...
You ever see when Toquino grappled with Mayhem Miller?
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
eddie bravo
In a grappling match?
joe rogan
No, they were in Brazil.
brendan schaub
It was in Brazil and England.
joe rogan
He was down there training, and Toquino just...
Well, I talked to Mayhem and I was like, hey, I was out partying the night before.
I was drunk.
It was probably totally true, you know?
brendan schaub
100%.
joe rogan
But it didn't matter.
Tequino just took his back like a ghost.
Or took his arm.
bryan callen
No, I thought that was...
joe rogan
Salivaries took his arm.
bryan callen
It wasn't Tequino you're talking about.
joe rogan
It was Husamar Pajaras.
bryan callen
That's what I'm talking about.
Yeah, Paul Harris.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's his nickname.
It means tree stump.
A guy like that, when they get your back with those giant ass legs that he has, when he's like squeezing down on your shit and stretching you out as he's choking you.
brendan schaub
He's a fucking nut.
eddie bravo
Did you see Gary Tonin against Taquino in Polaris?
joe rogan
Yes, yes.
eddie bravo
You see that?
brendan schaub
Amazing.
eddie bravo
That's an example of one of those submission-only matches that ends up in a draw, but was amazing.
There's so many badass draws out there.
They're not all bad.
Just because it's a draw doesn't mean it...
brendan schaub
Look at my draw with Cyborg.
joe rogan
To a guy like you, or you who could really appreciate the technique and sees what's going on.
Did you just say, look at my draw with Cyborg?
brendan schaub
Obviously.
joe rogan
How dare you.
brendan schaub
Obviously joking.
Obviously joking.
Obviously seeing who's paying attention.
eddie bravo
You know what's crazy about this EBI coming up is one of the worst case scenarios people would come up to me and ask me about, and I would think about it too.
brendan schaub
Would have someone won EBI? By escapes.
eddie bravo
Got into overtime in every round and then won by quickest escape time.
Would that ruin the show?
And I thought, damn, I don't know.
But Eduardo Telles, he's a turtle guard master.
brendan schaub
And turtle guard is just basically giving up your back.
eddie bravo
So anybody who goes to turtle guard, very few people can do this.
They've got to have the best back defense ever if you're going to play turtle guard.
Right?
So he does.
And he's known that.
And he's known in the jiu-jitsu community.
He's a legend.
Legend at defense.
It's untappable, this guy, Eduardo Telles.
So he's doing EBI 8 next Sunday.
You can watch the Countdown Show on YouTube, EBI Countdown, EBI 8. He's on the Countdown Show talking about winning EBI on escapes.
Right?
joe rogan
That's crazy.
eddie bravo
So now that's an actual real scenario that we're dealing with.
So instead of killing the show, now it's actually interesting to see if he could win the whole thing by escaping.
joe rogan
Look at this shit.
Ricardo Lamas versus BJ Penn, October 15th in Manila, Philippines.
bryan callen
Why do they do that to my boy BJ? Manila, Philippines.
joe rogan
Why not, man?
Let's see what's up.
eddie bravo
That's a good fight right there.
brendan schaub
Let's see what's up.
bryan callen
I keep thinking BJ's retired.
He's...
joe rogan
Well, BJ honestly should be fighting someone who is outside of the top 20 to get his timing back.
brendan schaub
Let him fight Sam Punk.
joe rogan
But that said, BJ Penn is fucking BJ Penn.
And BJ Penn wants to fight the tough guys.
brendan schaub
He can do whatever he wants.
joe rogan
He can do whatever he wants.
And if he doesn't fight a guy who's super dangerous, he's probably not going to train as hard.
He's not going to get up for it.
So this is how BJ's kind of got to do it.
brendan schaub
I fucking love BJ Penn.
joe rogan
It's smart.
eddie bravo
Did Llamas call him out or something?
bryan callen
No.
eddie bravo
How did that happen?
brendan schaub
They just tossed him the Llamas.
joe rogan
He had a fight with, was it Bermudez?
Who was the fight he had scheduled with?
brendan schaub
In LA, remember?
joe rogan
It wasn't Dennis Bermudez.
brendan schaub
It wasn't Bermudez.
joe rogan
No, it wasn't Bermudez.
It was someone he had a fight scheduled with.
unidentified
Nick Lentz?
joe rogan
No, it wasn't Nick Lentz because Nick Lentz is fighting at 155. There was some fight that got cancelled because BJ had taken an IV to rehydrate himself.
brendan schaub
That was on the LA card, remember?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
What was the fight?
Goddammit, who was it?
Anyway, so they had to give him another fight, and so the other fight they gave him is llamas.
Which is a tough fight for anybody.
brendan schaub
They threw him to the fucking...
145. I mean, it's BJ Penn, what are you going to do, but still...
eddie bravo
Apparently, his fighting stance is back to the old BJ, right?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, he went to Winklejohn, you know, in Brandon Gibson.
eddie bravo
Is he there now?
joe rogan
Yeah, he's been training at Jackson's.
Here it goes.
What does it say?
Cole Miller at 199. Oh, Cole Miller.
See, Cole Miller's a real good fight.
That's a real good fight, too.
That's a real good fight.
eddie bravo
Did he listen, man?
unidentified
He did.
eddie bravo
He went to...
unidentified
Remember, people would say, what if BJ went to, like, Jackson?
Yeah.
eddie bravo
What would happen then?
And he actually did it.
How cool is that?
joe rogan
He's BJ fucking Penn.
Don't ever forget that.
If that guy's body is willing, and he can figure out a way to motivate himself into awesome shape again, he is BJ motherfucking Penn.
unidentified
He's the prodigy.
brendan schaub
I think he should just focus on using his striking to take people down and just take him to the ground.
I think he's still one of the best on the ground.
You know who I don't want to see fight again?
And I hope for whatever reason contractual it doesn't happen is GSP, man.
His last like three or four fights he took so many hits to the head.
He has money in the bank.
The 70 pound division has completely changed now.
I just don't want to see it.
joe rogan
Maybe he's bored.
brendan schaub
Yeah, he must be bored as fuck making like Kickboxer 2 and shit.
joe rogan
Yeah, and he did something with Seagal where Seagal kills him in some movie.
brendan schaub
That would make me want to fucking get back to anything I was doing.
bryan callen
That video of Seagal with that, he's not been missing any meals.
joe rogan
Oh, he's so big now.
He's so big.
It's crazy.
brendan schaub
He would fuck you guys.
joe rogan
He's this giant barrel of a chest.
He's got to be 100 pounds overweight.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's really weird.
Because if you go back to Hard to Kill, like this first movie...
bryan callen
He's very thin.
joe rogan
Oh my god, he looked awesome.
brendan schaub
I used to like him, man.
Under Siege 1 and 2?
Watch your mouth.
joe rogan
Plus he did a bunch of weird stuff that nobody had ever seen before.
A bunch of smacking...
It's like, if you go and watch Steven Seagal's earliest movie...
It was Hard to Kill, right?
No.
bryan callen
No, it was Justice.
Above the Law?
Above the Law, yeah.
Justice.
joe rogan
Above the Law is his first one.
It's fun to watch his fight scenes.
You're like, I'm kind of feeling this.
I feel like he could maybe pull this off.
You know?
He's kind of doing like Wing Chun, but he's smacking some fucking clotheslines on people and sweeping them off their feet and snapping arms and shit.
bryan callen
I think he's actually kind of a good actor, too.
brendan schaub
Under Siege 1 and 2 is fucking brilliant.
Hard to Kill was great.
joe rogan
Who'd his face in 88?
In 88 above the law.
bryan callen
Handsome dude.
brendan schaub
Dime piece in Hard to Kill.
joe rogan
And he was only probably 30 years old back then.
brendan schaub
In that ponytail?
joe rogan
He had been teaching...
Aikido in Japan.
He was the first American to run a dojo in Japan.
bryan callen
Well, that's been contested.
joe rogan
Shut the fuck up, Brian.
Why are you ruining...
bryan callen
Sorry, buddy.
eddie bravo
Sorry.
joe rogan
Look at him back then.
Look at the body.
bryan callen
Look at that knife.
joe rogan
But that's a body of a guy who actually knows martial arts.
eddie bravo
Have you guys heard of that new Jean-Claude Van Damme show called Jean-Claude Van Johnson?
He plays himself.
joe rogan
Van Johnson?
brendan schaub
You're talking about the reality show?
eddie bravo
Dave Callahan wrote that.
My student who wrote Godzilla.
He has a show now.
It's on Amazon.
brendan schaub
I don't even know, but Tate's in it too.
bryan callen
Really?
eddie bravo
It's called Jean-Claude Van Johnson.
It's about Jean-Claude Van Damme is in it.
He plays himself.
And he's like this, like, washed up actor.
Like, he's just himself.
brendan schaub
So it's a story about Jean-Claude Van Damme and he's playing himself but making fun of, like a parody?
eddie bravo
Yeah.
It's kind of like that movie.
brendan schaub
Goddamn times are rough.
I refuse to watch it.
I love Jean-Claude Van Damme.
eddie bravo
It's supposed to be funny as shit.
Nope, can't do it.
brendan schaub
Can't do it.
I remember him from Bloodsport.
joe rogan
Powerful Josh Barnett.
Still swinging.
brendan schaub
God damn it.
That's a terrible picture.
joe rogan
Still throwing leather.
brendan schaub
Tough fight to call, man.
Two vets.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
USADA testing.
Germany.
joe rogan
Well, I mean, who would have ever predicted that Orlovsky would have gotten that close to a title shot again?
After all those years out, after getting starched by Sergei Karotanov, after getting beaten down by Rumble Johnson, to come back from all that, get back into the UFC and work his way to the top four...
Like, what?
brendan schaub
Amazing.
joe rogan
How the fuck did he do that?
brendan schaub
Went to Jackson's, got on a huge four or five fight win streak.
joe rogan
Amazing.
I mean, it's amazing.
When, like, a lot of people thought the Keratonoff fight, like, they're like, someone's got to step in.
Someone's got to stop this.
bryan callen
It's amazing the difference between his nose now and when he first started fighting.
joe rogan
Dude, do you know how many times this guy's been knocked out?
Like, if you really, like, went over, like, his entire career, I would like to find out.
brendan schaub
Well, between him and Overeem, it's a goddamn...
bryan callen
And in training, I wonder.
joe rogan
Yeah, Overeem's had a lot of stoppage losses.
brendan schaub
Overeem's had more than anyone.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, all the kickboxing losses, MMA losses, yeah.
Yeah, man.
A lot of these guys have been stopped a lot of times.
brendan schaub
Andre's slim for this one.
joe rogan
He was like 136. Wow, his nose is flattened.
Look at his nose.
bryan callen
I know.
joe rogan
That's a guy who's been in some wars, man.
Who's been in as many slugfests as Arlovsky?
unidentified
Damn.
brendan schaub
Barnett.
joe rogan
Barnett has, yeah.
brendan schaub
I mean, they're close.
joe rogan
But Andre's almost always in slugfests because he's a striker.
You know, he's not like trying to take someone down.
eddie bravo
Has Josh Barnett been knocked out?
joe rogan
Yeah, he got knocked out.
brendan schaub
Travis Brown elbows to the back of the head.
joe rogan
Yeah, real bad.
brendan schaub
Before that, though, he has for sure.
joe rogan
And Rothwell just choked him out.
Rothwell caught him with that crazy ten-finger go-go guillotine.
Whatever he calls it, go-go guillotine, go-go choke.
eddie bravo
There's so many different ways to put on that guillotine and they're all secretive because you can never see the grip and everyone has a certain way they hold the grip.
It's a hidden grip.
There's probably 13 different, at least, guillotines.
brendan schaub
Orlovsky went old school with this pregame fight interview too.
He was talking about how when he was the UFC champ, Barnett was in pride saying how Orlovsky wasn't the real champ.
He was.
joe rogan
Yeah, but Josh Barnett was never the champ of pride.
brendan schaub
15 years ago.
I know, but he was a runner-up.
When they were asking Barnett back then, he was like, UFC champ doesn't really count.
Orlowski's not the real champ.
Orlowski brought that shit back like an old elephant and didn't forget.
joe rogan
Wow.
brendan schaub
He was like, excuse me, sir?
That was 20 years ago.
bryan callen
Like an old elephant.
brendan schaub
Like an old Belarusian elephant.
joe rogan
It's another one.
If you look at him, he's 37. That's amazing that he was elite in the UFC in his early, early 20s.
And Josh Barnett's the youngest heavyweight champion ever.
bryan callen
Really?
brendan schaub
Oh yeah.
joe rogan
When he beat Randy Couture, he became the youngest ever UFC heavyweight champion.
But then...
Didn't he get stripped?
He got stripped.
He pissed hot.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
He pissed hot shit between him and over him.
It's a goddamn...
It's a goddamn MLB in the glory days.
Martin McGuire, Barry Bonds.
Two badasses, but they'll piss hot.
joe rogan
It would be interesting if Bellator just becomes like a P.E.D. league.
brendan schaub
You mean pride?
joe rogan
Yeah, just P.E.D. league.
Just let him do whatever the fuck they want.
brendan schaub
Well, Scott Coker said that.
He's like, our walkouts, we try to mimic pride.
I'm like, yeah, for sure.
Just let guys juice to the gill and do that.
Do you hate money, Mr. Coker?
bryan callen
Get some dry ice smoke.
Let him juice to the gills.
joe rogan
I mean, someone's got to explain to me Bobby Lashley.
brendan schaub
Explain what?
joe rogan
Explain what's going on there.
How's that possible?
unidentified
Why?
bryan callen
Can I see a picture, please?
joe rogan
You want to see Bobby Lashley B? Yeah, he's a very strong, powerful wrestler that is the cover boy for the smell test.
bryan callen
Well, that's the craziest shit I've ever seen in my life.
That is so ridiculous.
He's a tank.
Now, does he moonlight as a bodybuilder?
joe rogan
No, he used to be a WWE guy.
unidentified
He still is.
joe rogan
Look at that.
bryan callen
Yeah, that's natural.
Those traps are all natural.
Is he fighting in Bellator looking like that?
joe rogan
Yep, yes.
bryan callen
Huh.
joe rogan
Yeah, show a picture of him in Bellator.
bryan callen
That's a lot of Dolce Weh.
Is he taking a lot of Dolce Weh?
joe rogan
Look at that picture of him.
brendan schaub
Legit wrestler, though.
joe rogan
Look at him there in Bellator.
Look at the size of him in Bellator.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
bryan callen
Yeah, now listen.
I mean, some people are just born super muscular.
joe rogan
But he only fights in funky places like Oklahoma, Indian casinos and shit.
Look at the size of them.
bryan callen
That's the craziest shit I've ever seen.
joe rogan
Look at the fucking size of them!
brendan schaub
Hey, this is the thing.
The nicest guy in the world, obviously on some Mexican supplements, motherfucker can wrestle his ass off.
He's a monster.
bryan callen
Yeah, I can believe it.
Looking at him, I wouldn't say he's an accountant.
I would say he's a wrestler.
brendan schaub
No, no, but it's not like CM Punk wrestling.
He has a legit wrestling background.
bryan callen
I believe that.
brendan schaub
Yeah, in the military, he's champ.
joe rogan
And he's had a lot of fights.
I mean, he fought in Showtime for a while.
brendan schaub
He's only had, I think, like eight or nine.
He's not that active.
joe rogan
Well, he fought in Strikeforce and lost to Chad Griggs, remember?
The Gravedigger?
brendan schaub
Yeah, that's right.
The Gravedigger.
joe rogan
Yeah.
And that was a big setback for him.
Had to get his shit together again.
Start all over again.
bryan callen
Josh Barnett's body is an interesting...
brendan schaub
You know who his training partner is?
Josh Barnett?
Bobby Lashley and Barnett train together all the time.
joe rogan
Makes sense.
brendan schaub
Never seen Bobby Lashley taken out.
unidentified
Ever.
joe rogan
Okay, prediction.
Arlovsky.
Barnett.
bryan callen
Barnett looks bigger than Arlowski.
That's a big man.
joe rogan
They're both giant.
unidentified
Yep.
brendan schaub
Barnett's heavier.
Arlowski's in better shape, I would assume.
joe rogan
But, uh...
Barnett's got a lot of options.
brendan schaub
Yeah, Barnett, he's like a smart guy.
He has too many options.
joe rogan
He has a lot of options.
brendan schaub
And Arlowski, his only option is to knock him out.
joe rogan
Oh, he tagged him!
Barnett with a right hand over the top.
Oh!
unidentified
Oh, shit!
bryan callen
What's going on here?
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
Hey, guys.
Oh!
bryan callen
What the fuck?
joe rogan
Oh my god.
bryan callen
Are we all out of our minds here?
brendan schaub
Couple one-two oldies fucking slaying in the mood.
joe rogan
Guys, Barnett just took a big deep breath.
bryan callen
And by oldies, 12 years younger than me and Joe.
joe rogan
Barnett is saying something.
Barnett is saying something.
brendan schaub
What is he saying?
Was he grabbing my gloves?
unidentified
I don't know.
brendan schaub
He's saying he's grabbing my gloves.
He's grabbing my gloves.
joe rogan
Oh, is that what he's saying?
brendan schaub
I think so.
joe rogan
Wow, man.
brendan schaub
And the ref said, let's shut up and fight.
I think that's what he said.
joe rogan
Did he say that?
Shut up and fight?
brendan schaub
I don't think he said shut up.
He said, let's just fight.
joe rogan
Wow.
brendan schaub
Holy fuck, these boys ain't messing around.
Wow.
When Arlossi does do this, he's usually at his best.
Like when you think about Travis Brown, we just caution him the wind.
joe rogan
Yeah, but Barnett is good at controlling the pace here when he gets a hold of you like this.
This is going to sap some of the strength.
bryan callen
He's got such wide hips, he's just so strong.
joe rogan
He's a tank of a guy.
brendan schaub
Super skilled too, man.
joe rogan
Oh, caught him on the break.
brendan schaub
Ooh, someone's about to get knocked out.
Get ready, boys.
joe rogan
Oh, Jesus.
brendan schaub
Marlowski's bleeding hardcore.
bryan callen
What a tough way to make a living.
brendan schaub
Big right hand coming from Marlowski.
bryan callen
What a tough way to make a living.
unidentified
Oh, Jesus.
bryan callen
Oh.
brendan schaub
Don't listen to that.
Left hook from Barnett coming up.
joe rogan
This is intense.
brendan schaub
Someone's going to sleep real soon.
unidentified
Oh.
brendan schaub
Damn, attack that body.
bryan callen
Oh.
brendan schaub
Oh.
joe rogan
There's like a...
There's like a weird way that Arlovsky throws his right hand.
Have you noticed that?
Almost like a whipping action from the hips.
He doesn't throw it the way he threw it when he was young.
No, not at all.
bryan callen
Arlovsky painted his nails.
Arlovsky painted his toenails.
joe rogan
Shut the fuck up.
unidentified
I won't.
Look at that.
joe rogan
Don't bring it up.
bryan callen
Sorry, sorry.
He's a warlock.
He's a fucking warlock and I knew it.
joe rogan
That's what a bad motherfucker Chuck Liddell is.
He had everybody painting their goddamn toenails.
brendan schaub
He really did.
And no one said shit.
bryan callen
I'm not saying shit.
I just made an observation.
joe rogan
They all wind up doing it.
bryan callen
He sacrificed a goat to Satan last night, and that's why he had...
Erlowski with the takedown!
joe rogan
Look at this!
Erlowski with the takedown!
brendan schaub
See, I like Erlowski putting Barnett on his back.
Barnett's not a guy who parties off his back very much.
bryan callen
He doesn't party off his back, guys.
brendan schaub
He doesn't.
joe rogan
I wonder.
brendan schaub
Only on top.
joe rogan
I wonder if he's got some shit off his back.
I mean, I'm sure he's capable.
bryan callen
Uh-oh, watch that!
brendan schaub
Come on, son.
joe rogan
He went for a double wrist lock from the bottom.
brendan schaub
I went for that bully beatdown double wrist lock.
joe rogan
I wonder what he was going to do there with that.
bryan callen
Look at this.
Look at the blood coming down.
He doesn't care.
That's a headbutt blood.
Look at that.
Go ahead.
Give me a charley horse.
joe rogan
This is an interesting fight, man.
bryan callen
Hold that ankle.
Hold that ankle.
joe rogan
This is an interesting fight.
Barnett on his back.
brendan schaub
Arloski needs to watch his legs here.
joe rogan
Can you just punch him in the dick?
brendan schaub
He needs to watch his legs here, man.
If there's one thing Barnett does know, it's fucking leg locks down here.
joe rogan
I think you forget the Sambo background of Andre Arlovski.
bryan callen
I didn't.
Remember when he got, what's his name, Tim Sylvia in that, uh...
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
joe rogan
Got him in a straight ankle lock.
brendan schaub
I think you forget about that fucking...
eddie bravo
Dude, I think Josh Barnett just played a little De La Riva guard for one split second.
Like, watch.
brendan schaub
Barnett is thicker than a Snickers right now.
Just a vanilla Snickers.
Doing the damn thing.
bryan callen
Big man.
eddie bravo
Look at that.
Oh.
brendan schaub
And their bolster skin.
This is the veteran.
Let's rest.
joe rogan
You rest, I rest.
bryan callen
Oh, is that what it is?
joe rogan
Okay.
brendan schaub
Yeah, that's the veteran.
unidentified
I'm going to rest.
bryan callen
You rest.
unidentified
I like it.
bryan callen
I like it.
brendan schaub
Couple one-two old butts.
bryan callen
Keep the hands up, please.
Somebody?
All of you?
brendan schaub
Barnett looks tired.
I mean, uh...
Jesus Christ.
bryan callen
These guys just clash heads, man.
Gigantesque.
Gigante, man.
Oh!
unidentified
Combination by Arlovsky.
eddie bravo
Josh Barnett's so tough though.
He looks fine.
Josh Barnett looks fine.
brendan schaub
Someone's going to sleep!
joe rogan
Barnett switched stances.
Was he standing orthodox earlier?
He was, right?
brendan schaub
Yeah, he switches.
joe rogan
Interesting.
I wonder...
bryan callen
Does Orlowski always have black nail polish?
joe rogan
No.
bryan callen
First time.
eddie bravo
Get over it, bro.
brendan schaub
It's a great fight.
Fuck his nail polish.
bryan callen
Bro, I'm just saying, man.
I'm allowed to make an observation.
God, you're white, Josh.
Let's get a tan.
You're whiter than I am.
brendan schaub
No, you can't tan.
That would look weird on him.
bryan callen
He'd look pink.
He just turns pink, right?
brendan schaub
He'd be red.
bryan callen
He'd get all red.
Come out there like a red fucking pickle.
Yeah, a fucking giant pickle.
joe rogan
A red pickle?
bryan callen
I don't know why I even said pickle.
brendan schaub
Like a lobster.
bryan callen
Yeah, you big fucking blonde lobster.
joe rogan
Josh is giving up the neck.
He's like, go ahead, take it.
brendan schaub
Yeah, our lobster's not known for those.
joe rogan
Want to get crazy?
Pull the guillotine off.
brendan schaub
Wow.
joe rogan
I would never think that Josh would lean in on anybody like that ever again after that Travis Brown fight.
brendan schaub
Well, the thing about that is Travis is so good at him because of his leverage, how tall he is.
joe rogan
Oh, Jesus!
Oh my goodness.
bryan callen
I mean, flash knockouts on both ends here.
unidentified
Oof!
brendan schaub
Great takedown.
I think Travis is the only one who can pull off those elbows because he's so tall.
joe rogan
Maybe.
Well, he's also just explosive as fuck with them in that position.
That's his spot.
brendan schaub
He did it to Gonzaga and then he did it to Barnett.
unidentified
Yo.
eddie bravo
You're on the air.
We're doing the Fight Companion.
unidentified
Already?
joe rogan
Joe Diaz!
bryan callen
Well, Joey, it's like one, two.
eddie bravo
You're not watching the UFC on Fight Pass?
unidentified
No, I'm doing my own UFC. I just got back to Jiu-Jitsu, bitch.
Fuck Fight Pass.
I just did my own.
joey diaz
I got choked out eight times.
unidentified
I just did my own fucking Jiu-Jitsu.
Beautiful.
I just got Luke Barnett.
eddie bravo
Everybody choked me out today.
Nice.
We're at Legacy?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I did a little better today, to be honest with you.
joe rogan
Round two.
brendan schaub
Dude, after a minute rest.
unidentified
I did a little better today.
eddie bravo
Hey, the fight's...
Oh!
bryan callen
You've got to watch that overhand right.
Keep telling Orlovsky that.
unidentified
All right, do your thing.
I'm sorry, brother.
I saw you call me earlier.
You know I love you.
eddie bravo
Okay, I'll call you right back.
bryan callen
Keep your head in his chin.
When I teach clinch, I always say, use your fucking head, spear the chin.
joe rogan
When you what?
bryan callen
Huh?
When I do a clinch clinic, I call it the clinch clinic with the kid.
Nobody ever comes, but if somebody did, I would always say, use your head.
I cannot get anybody to fucking come, and I have something to say.
joe rogan
He puts on a message board.
bryan callen
There's going to be a clinch clinic with the kid.
joe rogan
Piece of paper with a bunch of things you can rip off that have the phone number on.
Just one ripped off and he ripped it off himself.
brendan schaub
I put it up on phone polls.
bryan callen
I put it up on phone polls.
joe rogan
And nobody calls.
bryan callen
Nobody calls.
I can't get anybody in my fucking clinics, man.
I have cupcakes and Kool-Aid for everybody.
brendan schaub
How's this not a five-rounder?
bryan callen
Right, Brendan?
joe rogan
Because they're old.
brendan schaub
I don't give a fuck!
Isn't every main event five rounds?
joe rogan
Is it a five-rounder?
It might be.
brendan schaub
Oh, it is.
It is.
unidentified
Sorry.
brendan schaub
The fucking reindeer thing was blocking on us all three.
joe rogan
The reindeer thing.
Did you guys see that thing where those fucking reindeer, 300 of them...
Got electrocuted to death.
Was it 300 of them?
bryan callen
Jesus Christ.
joe rogan
Is that how many it was?
bryan callen
What?
joe rogan
Why do I want to say it's 40?
bryan callen
Oh, you've got to keep your hands up.
joe rogan
323?
323 reindeer got electrocuted to death.
They were all standing in water.
Lightning hit the ground.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
The ground was soaked with water, so they all got barbecued instantly.
brendan schaub
No.
joe rogan
Instantly.
bryan callen
Dude.
brendan schaub
Boy, these boys are throwing.
unidentified
Hundreds of them.
brendan schaub
Those poor fucking reindeer.
That's crazy.
Oh, fuck.
unidentified
It was harp.
brendan schaub
So can you just go there and eat them?
Can you go there and eat them?
joe rogan
Well, it depends on how cold it is.
You know, if it was right afterwards, yeah, definitely.
bryan callen
So that could have happened to us when we were hunting, technically.
joe rogan
It technically could happen, yeah.
Because the ground's all wet.
So it's connective.
eddie bravo
So this shit shouldn't be happening all the time.
joe rogan
It could happen.
bryan callen
Well, we got rubber boots on, though.
joe rogan
Yeah, we have rubber boots on, and also we're not fucking reindeer.
bryan callen
Yep.
God likes me more than he likes reindeers.
joe rogan
They're called caribou.
I call them caribou.
bryan callen
Yep.
joe rogan
They're delicious animals.
If you were there and you came right after the fact, you'd be psyched.
Because you'd have all the meat.
You wouldn't want it to go to waste.
I agree.
So it's not even like you feel bad for shooting the caribou.
bryan callen
If you're starving in the wilderness.
brendan schaub
When you post those Instagram videos of grilling that fine, fine, wild meat, I gotta get hungry.
joe rogan
It's my favorite thing to cook.
brendan schaub
I'm starving right now.
joe rogan
I cooked some last night.
eddie bravo
I will say that one you did with the jalapenos.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's my shit, dog.
Dude, I'm telling you, I know you're scared of...
Eddie grew up with a fucked up stepfather, so he's got some crazy food issues because his stepdad used to force him to eat food.
So Eddie's like, meat, potatoes, stop!
Don't get crazy!
brendan schaub
You don't eat meat or potatoes?
joe rogan
No, no, he's super down the middle.
I don't like gamey meat.
brendan schaub
That's how my brother is.
joe rogan
Elk is not gamey.
That's the thing, man.
I'm telling you.
It's like if you like Fogo de Chao, you like when they come over, it doesn't taste like that because it's got more firmness to it.
Oh, good reversal by Barnett!
eddie bravo
It's on now.
joe rogan
Oh, this is not good.
This is not good for Arlovsky.
This is terrible.
Barnett is a smusher.
Look at that.
Instant pass.
Full mount.
Grapevine.
Old school.
bryan callen
Catch wrestling style.
We call that the Saturday Night Live Ride.
We call it the Saturday Night Ride.
joe rogan
Yeah, you gotta call it one of the other.
You can't call it...
eddie bravo
Alright.
unidentified
Skydive.
bryan callen
We call it staying alive.
brendan schaub
Boy, if he can last a minute, he's gonna be gassed.
bryan callen
He's got it for a minute.
joe rogan
Yeah, I don't know about all that.
That's a tough call, B. He might get smushed here, dude.
bryan callen
Just hold on.
joe rogan
He's looking for the arm triangle on that right arm.
eddie bravo
Or the Americana.
bryan callen
Did you say just hold on to him, B? Yeah, just hold on to him.
brendan schaub
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
joe rogan
Well, Josh Barnett will put a beating on you in that fucking mount position, too.
He's an expert at maneuvering.
Getting you in bad spots, you know, anticipating your defense and dropping those short palm-to-elbow elbows down on you, those press-down, you know, Jeremy Horn-style elbows.
brendan schaub
He also has a great head-arm choke here that he does.
joe rogan
Jeremy Horn was like one of the first guys that really was teaching that.
eddie bravo
Oh, he's cutting him up.
joe rogan
Oh, he's smashing him.
40 seconds to go.
eddie bravo
Man, he's got to finish him.
bryan callen
He's nasty.
joe rogan
He's looking for that arm.
He's looking to straighten those arms out.
But Arlovski's got fairly good defense, but not right here.
bryan callen
Come on, Andre.
Don't turn to his back.
eddie bravo
30 seconds.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
He's getting beat on.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
brendan schaub
It's not enough to stop it, though, is it?
joe rogan
Yeah, but he's getting smashed.
brendan schaub
Andre, he's going to be fucked when he gets on.
joe rogan
It's over.
He's beating on him, man.
brendan schaub
Now it's over.
joe rogan
Oh, it's flat.
bryan callen
You got time.
brendan schaub
Now it's over.
He's going to sink it in.
joe rogan
Josh Barnett.
Oh!
brendan schaub
There it goes.
eddie bravo
Oh, he's gonna survive!
brendan schaub
I don't think so.
eddie bravo
Yes, yes.
Oh hell yeah, he's surviving.
brendan schaub
It's over.
joe rogan
It's over.
eddie bravo
They're not gonna stop it.
brendan schaub
Oh, he got it.
unidentified
Wow.
eddie bravo
Wow.
joe rogan
Dude, what a beating.
He took a ferocious beating.
brendan schaub
Morlowski's in trouble.
joe rogan
Like, getting up, he's gotta be reeling right now.
I mean, his face is smushed.
eddie bravo
And he's tired as fuck.
joe rogan
It has to be, man.
He just exploded for survival for the last minute.
The last minute was just a crazy swim to shore with sharks biting your asshole.
bryan callen
Is that Winklejohn right there?
brendan schaub
And then you gotta go back out there.
joe rogan
Mike Winklejohn is the guy to his left.
Like right in front of Orlovsky.
That's Mike.
brendan schaub
And that's Greg Jackson.
joe rogan
Been here a bunch of times.
That's not good.
brendan schaub
You've been here 100 times.
Well, I'm literally on the brink of dying.
joe rogan
You start thinking about...
brendan schaub
Where do either of these guys go from here?
I guess they're both.
joe rogan
They're both in the mix.
brendan schaub
Yeah, heavyweight division's pretty old.
bryan callen
Could take down Barlovsky, but he got reversed.
joe rogan
Watch this.
eddie bravo
Yeah, the momentum.
bryan callen
Man.
eddie bravo
Mounted way easy.
bryan callen
Yeah, that's not what you want.
joe rogan
Oh my God.
Barnett just dropping bombs down on him.
Super accurate.
Josh Barnett is no joke, man.
bryan callen
Come on, Andre.
unidentified
Come on.
joe rogan
Look at this.
And Barnett also can keep up this pace for five rounds.
He fought Roy Nelson and gave Roy Nelson a beating like that for five rounds.
brendan schaub
Yeah, he did.
joe rogan
That was super impressive.
brendan schaub
He's just such a vet, man.
He's seen it all.
joe rogan
Yep.
Well, he's also just so fucking tough.
unidentified
Durable.
brendan schaub
And has so many fucking tricks.
joe rogan
But Arlowski's still got the bomb, man.
He's still got the bomb in his hand.
Look at him.
He's trying to set it up.
brendan schaub
I don't think that landed.
joe rogan
Dude, it's weird the way he throws that right hand.
It's like his elbows down, his shoulders up, and he like whips it.
It's almost like he doesn't throw it straight anymore.
See what I'm saying?
unidentified
Yeah.
bryan callen
He throws that kick and he's getting caught.
That's the second time he's gotten caught.
joe rogan
But it's like he's throwing it with his body, and then the arm is sort of following behind it.
It's like whipping.
It's weird.
bryan callen
They're so tired, these guys are kind of...
joe rogan
I would like...
Oh, man!
Right hand!
eddie bravo
Barnett!
unidentified
Oh!
Barlovsky!
bryan callen
Barlovsky is a stud!
These guys are amazing!
unidentified
Oh, nice knee to the body!
joe rogan
He hurt him with that knee to the body!
brendan schaub
No, he poked him in the eye.
joe rogan
Oh, he poked him in the eye.
brendan schaub
Well, the ref didn't see it.
Barnett knows better than that to stop it.
Oh shit, and he's whooping his ass.
bryan callen
Oh my god, this is an amazing fight.
Come on.
brendan schaub
Orlovsky said, enjoy your win with one fucking eye.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
Give it up!
Orlovsky gets behind him.
unidentified
Get out!
joe rogan
Kimura!
unidentified
Kimura!
brendan schaub
Orlovsky needs to stop this shit.
He keeps trying to grapple.
joe rogan
Double wrist lock.
Double wrist lock.
brendan schaub
Goddammit.
joe rogan
Look at that.
Flipped him.
brendan schaub
Now you need charm ripped off.
Now you need charm ripped off.
joe rogan
He's fucked!
brendan schaub
He's super fucked.
unidentified
Damn it.
brendan schaub
This is Barnett all fucking day long.
joe rogan
This is his world.
I mean, this dude submitted Dean Lister, Huron Gracie.
brendan schaub
Huron, yes.
joe rogan
Easily.
That is a big feat, man.
brendan schaub
Huge.
eddie bravo
It's over right here.
joe rogan
This is not good.
unidentified
Oh!
Shit!
bryan callen
Dude, this is a fight.
eddie bravo
It's still over.
bryan callen
This is an amazing fight.
brendan schaub
It's still over.
eddie bravo
There's no way Orlovsky's going to get up here.
brendan schaub
It's still over.
eddie bravo
He's going for the Kimura again.
bryan callen
Orlovsky's a warlock, so he's got those powers.
joe rogan
He's going for it again.
brendan schaub
He doesn't have much room, though.
joe rogan
Barnett, upset that it got away, man.
He's going to make a big point to try to get it out.
brendan schaub
If you're Arlowski, quit fucking trying to grapple with him.
joe rogan
Oh, he's elbowing him, too.
He's going to open it up with elbows.
bryan callen
Barnett's so nasty.
brendan schaub
A little tenderizing.
bryan callen
Barnett's so nasty.
joe rogan
Do you remember that time when Arlovsky was on the ground and Roy Nelson had him inside control with a double wrist lock, locked in, and they stood him up in Elite XC, that crooked-ass organization?
Remember that?
brendan schaub
Hell yeah, I do.
And then Arlovsky went around.
joe rogan
Oh, no!
eddie bravo
No way he's going to survive this.
joe rogan
Oh, two minutes and 20 seconds.
eddie bravo
He's still in the mouth, though.
bryan callen
Well, that's not good.
This is not good, gentlemen.
joe rogan
No, this is not good.
He's giving up the back.
brendan schaub
He's going to get choked out.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's giving up the back.
bryan callen
Josh's flattened him out.
joe rogan
He's flattened him out.
He's getting the neck.
eddie bravo
That's it!
joe rogan
Josh motherfucking Barnett, ladies and gentlemen.
brendan schaub
Two warriors, man.
Two legends.
bryan callen
Goddamn.
joe rogan
If I was Brennan Schaub, I'd say, for sure get off me before you congratulate me.
brendan schaub
Yeah, for sure get the fuck out of here, man.
Let's do this when we get up, huh?
joe rogan
For sure we can do this friendship shit when you're not mounting me.
brendan schaub
Yeah, man.
eddie bravo
You've got great cardio.
unidentified
Fuck, yes.
eddie bravo
You would never think so, but man, he...
bryan callen
God, is he good.
Goddamn, that was a good fight.
joe rogan
Tough as nails, man.
Fuck.
Josh Brennan is tough as nails.
bryan callen
Tough as nails.
joe rogan
That was a goddamn war.
Woo!
What a fight.
bryan callen
And, you know, all due respect, he doesn't seem...
He's got great cardio.
He doesn't...
If you looked at his body physically, he doesn't look like he's in that good of shape.
unidentified
What?
brendan schaub
Good Lord.
bryan callen
Josh Barnett?
joe rogan
Come on.
He's always...
brendan schaub
You're talking about a legend.
bryan callen
I know he is.
joe rogan
I'm just saying.
bryan callen
Don't judge a book by its cover, Brendan.
brendan schaub
Look at Fedor.
bryan callen
I've always said that.
brendan schaub
Look at Fedor.
bryan callen
Yeah.
God, he's amazing.
unidentified
Boom!
bryan callen
Oh, no.
And still took it.
eddie bravo
He had his hand.
brendan schaub
Barnett fucked him up after this.
He went, oh, you want to poke me in the fucking eye?
Check this out.
See, this is our lossy loss to fight there.
bryan callen
Why did the ref stop that eye poke thing?
That was weird.
joe rogan
Didn't see it.
You didn't see it.
When they're looking at certain things, you know, and they miss little stuff like that, it's so hard to stop and reset.
Because you also stop the momentum of the fight.
And sometimes a guy gets punched in the eye.
Yeah.
And they'll reel away as if they got poked, but if you're watching the replay, it's just the knuckle.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like Chuck Liddell used to get guys all the time, and he would throw these wild, crazy punches.
He would, because of the way the wraps are, and because of the way the gloves are, sometimes when Chuck is punching you, he's hitting you like this.
brendan schaub
Yep.
joe rogan
So these are going in your eyes.
brendan schaub
You can't stop it because of that.
joe rogan
I mean, he's just dropping bombs on you and sometimes they don't land perfectly with the knuckle.
Or sometimes even with the knuckle.
The knuckle goes into your eye.
But these things right here, these are not covered.
So if you're slinging and you catch someone like this and it goes in the eye, it feels just like a poke.
brendan schaub
Definitely can't stop it.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Probably Dan Hardy.
Look at him.
He looks like an Englishman.
brendan schaub
Dude, did you see Bruce Buffer's fucking white tux?
joe rogan
No, he had a white tux?
brendan schaub
That's some Germany shit.
That's that foreign shit.
Don't bring that hair.
joe rogan
Oh, it shouldn't?
No.
brendan schaub
No, can't have that hair.
joe rogan
How come?
We just can't.
brendan schaub
We just can't do it.
Dan Hardy, those aren't jeans.
joe rogan
Powerful, powerful Josh Barnett.
bryan callen
We went for the finish every time.
I know we slowed down, but...
joe rogan
We went for the finish every time.
bryan callen
So, please give it up for Andre Olowski.
joe rogan
Give it up for Andre Olowski.
bryan callen
Damn right.
Damn right.
That's a great sportsman.
joe rogan
This is a crazy division.
It's going to be opened up next week.
We're going to find out what the hell's going on.
Because if Stipe can defend the title, you know, you've got a real champion on your hands.
And if Overeem could beat him, things get very, very interesting.
eddie bravo
Look at how we put the choke on.
Look at the grip.
brendan schaub
Then you've got Verdum Travis Brown again.
joe rogan
He smushed it.
He, like, punched at it.
eddie bravo
He went like this.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Interesting, huh?
Well, he's a real artist when it comes to submissions.
Josh Barnett knows his shit.
There's some big-ass fights coming up, dude.
Some big-ass fights coming up.
eddie bravo
If you would have hit his face, it would have been different.
unidentified
Boom!
joe rogan
Oh, that's so fucked up, man.
But that's something when you see a guy turning away holding his eye like that.
Go ahead and punch him in the face.
Jamie, what's the card next weekend?
brendan schaub
You got the heavyweights, right?
So you got Stipe, Overeem, Verdum, Travis Brown rematch.
bryan callen
You know what?
I didn't know until today, just now, that Stipe, Overeem was September 10th.
I thought it was today.
I've been really excited about it.
brendan schaub
You thought it was on Fight Pass?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Why did you think it was today?
bryan callen
I don't know.
Just did.
joe rogan
So you're upset?
bryan callen
I'm a little upset right now.
brendan schaub
You thought it was next on Fight Pass?
joe rogan
So Stipe, Alistair, look at this.
Verdum and Travis Brown, very interesting.
What was the original fight?
Was this the original fight they had played?
brendan schaub
No, Fabrizio was supposed to fight...
God, who pulled out?
Who the fuck pulled out?
Travis Brown was a late replacement.
Oh, Rothwell pulled out.
Oh, did he?
joe rogan
Oh, that's right.
brendan schaub
He pulled out.
Brown got back in, right?
Because he just got his face kicked off by Kane.
So he came back in for this rematch.
joe rogan
Man, Travis Brown's in a tough spot.
brendan schaub
He loses this one.
joe rogan
Better get Rhonda pregnant.
How fairly short is the notice?
brendan schaub
Not that short, right?
Like four or five weeks.
joe rogan
But it's pretty recent since the fight with Kane.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I know.
That's why it's tough to get back in there.
He got that spinning wheel kick.
Yeah, it was tough.
What's next for Kane?
joe rogan
That's a good question.
Probably a title fight, I would imagine.
Look at that CM Punk versus Mickey Galls.
The third fight of the night.
That's crazy.
brendan schaub
That is before Faber and...
joe rogan
Yeah, it's after Faber.
brendan schaub
Yes, sorry.
joe rogan
Favoring Jimmy Rivera, which is an interesting fight, man.
Jimmy Rivera's a tank.
brendan schaub
Super tough fight for you.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
He always wins, though, doesn't he?
joe rogan
Well, he wins a lot.
brendan schaub
Besides the title.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, the Dominic Cruz fight was, you know, he got dropped in that fight a couple of times and got hurt, which is interesting.
brendan schaub
I'll tell you, the fight I want to see is Steve versus Kane.
That's the fight.
Match-up-wise, it's such a fun fight.
Very similar styles.
joe rogan
Hey, what's going on with Tysimov?
He can't get into the country?
brendan schaub
Yeah, I don't think so.
That's what I've heard.
bryan callen
That giant wrestler you're talking about?
joe rogan
No, no, no.
He's not a giant guy.
He's a 155er.
Was he 45 or 55?
Who is he supposed to be fighting?
brendan schaub
Uh, 55. Right, Jamie?
Look that up.
bryan callen
Who is Landsberg?
joe rogan
Cyborg's fighting Nick Lentz.
Yeah, he's fighting Nick Lentz.
And Nick Lentz has been fighting 55. Damn.
Who is Landsberg?
Lineker versus Dodson is crazy!
That is goddamn crazy.
October 1st, Portland, Oregon.
That is madness.
brendan schaub
Lineker's the fucking truth, right?
Who's the poor soul-fighting Cyborg?
eddie bravo
Holy shit!
bryan callen
His name is Landsberg.
brendan schaub
Who's the body back fighting fucking cyborg in Brazil?
joe rogan
She looks like a swimsuit model.
In Brasilia, Brazil.
Yeah, she's gonna be fed.
brendan schaub
Jamie, what's her background?
joe rogan
She's a demon hunter.
brendan schaub
Landsberg.
She's a fucking warlock hunter.
bryan callen
She's a demon hunter.
joe rogan
A necklace of garlic and a fucking sword with a crucifix at the bottom of it.
brendan schaub
And still won't help.
You won't get knocked the fuck out.
Here's a shield.
joe rogan
Good luck in that fight.
brendan schaub
God damn, man.
joe rogan
That's one of them good luck fights.
Who's gonna beat Cyborg?
That's a good question, man.
Who is going to be?
Yeah, Maribak Tysimov out of UFC 203. Visa issues.
brendan schaub
He's such a monster, too.
joe rogan
He's very good.
brendan schaub
So fucking good.
joe rogan
But he's had Visa issues for several fights in a row now.
I just don't know why the UFC can't clear that up.
Unless it's some weird shit.
brendan schaub
For sure someone help him out.
joe rogan
I wonder what the problem is.
I don't understand visas, man.
I don't understand who gets them and who doesn't.
brendan schaub
I think right now it's a little tough.
joe rogan
It was declined.
brendan schaub
Hmm.
joe rogan
Yeah, I wonder why they declined those things, man.
I don't know what it is.
But too bad, because he could fight his ass off.
brendan schaub
So good.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's very good, man.
Very good.
And look at that whole card.
That's Ian McCall and Ray Borg.
That's right, I forgot that.
Ray Borg's no joke.
That's interesting.
brendan schaub
Who's on that fight path?
joe rogan
Betch Goye, Yancy Medeiros, Sean Spencer.
That's a good fight.
That should be next weekend.
So what else is going on?
brendan schaub
You're calling that fight, obviously.
It's heavyweight championship in the world.
joe rogan
Yeah, I'm there next week.
Yeah.
Powerful Cleveland.
See ya.
See ya, fuckers.
brendan schaub
Cleveland.
Beautiful Cleveland.
joe rogan
That's deep-based town.
It's gonna be interesting, man.
They're gonna come out in droves for him.
brendan schaub
Hopefully.
joe rogan
Yeah.
No, it's going to be.
It's a very interesting fight, man.
Stipe is no fucking joke.
brendan schaub
It's a toss-up for me.
joe rogan
But Alistair Overeem is so good at striking.
He's so clever and sneaky.
And now the way he fights, he moves around you and doesn't take any chances until he sees an opening.
Then he snipes on you.
And Miocic has got to be able to counter that.
And if he can't clip him and hurt him the way Rothwell did...
Then the fight becomes interesting.
brendan schaub
You also look at the way Stipe almost terminators forward, you know what I'm saying, has that relentless pace like you do with JDS. You can't really do that with Overeem.
There's no training like that, really.
joe rogan
Well, it's going to be hard if he gets hit with leg kicks, like right away, because Alistair Overeem has some fucking ferocious leg kicks.
brendan schaub
Body kicks, too.
joe rogan
He also throws that left kick to the body.
He switches stances a lot.
He can do a lot of different shit in there, striking-wise.
His knees are fucking horrific.
brendan schaub
And then his grappling.
joe rogan
Yeah, his grappling's good.
brendan schaub
He can fucking grapple.
We forget about it.
joe rogan
Yeah, his grappling's good.
It's very good.
He won the European Abu Dhabi qualifier.
brendan schaub
Correct.
joe rogan
And he's, I think, the first guy to submit Vitor before Jon Jones did.
He submitted him with a guillotine back in the Pride days.
He's no joke, man.
brendan schaub
Yeah, people forget about that.
joe rogan
Johnson versus Poirier.
unidentified
That's going to be fun.
brendan schaub
Hall Brunson's a fun one, too.
joe rogan
Oh, that's very good.
Yeah, Reroy Hall almost got the Anderson Silva fight, right?
And Anderson hurt himself.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Phil Brooks is a wrestling superstar.
Hmm.
It's interesting.
This whole thing is so interesting that it's taken so long...
brendan schaub
Yeah, I mean, I don't hate on the guy for pursuing something new.
I hate on a guy for doing something new out of his lane.
You know, that's my life.
joe rogan
Cowboy and I were making fun of him the other day for being a straight edge, for not drinking.
People got so mad.
brendan schaub
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah, they got so mad.
bryan callen
He's never been a drinker?
joe rogan
No, he's no drinking, no drugs, no steroids, no nothing.
And we were like, alright, good luck with all that.
brendan schaub
Have fun.
joe rogan
People get so mad.
Like, folks, relax.
You know, if you don't want to drink, you don't have to drink.
I'm not saying you should drink.
brendan schaub
He's a superstar.
joe rogan
And I'm not drinking right now.
I'm stone cold sober.
I didn't drink it all last night either.
I go many, many days without drinking.
You don't have to drink, but...
brendan schaub
I only drink here.
I almost don't drink.
joe rogan
It's fun.
brendan schaub
Damn, his shirt was super corny.
joe rogan
But you don't have to do it.
bryan callen
He's got a lot of guts, though.
brendan schaub
I'm not mad at his girl, either.
joe rogan
Well, it's also, like, how many options does he have?
It's really interesting when you think the fact that this guy was competing in the WWE, and he's going to fight at 170. It's kind of crazy.
Because, you know, 170 is small.
It's not very big.
bryan callen
Is that a big weight cut for him?
What does he walk around at?
joe rogan
No, it's not a big weight.
He's not a big guy.
But it's even more interesting that this guy was able to compete as a professional wrestler.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like, on television, like, to do all that stuff against guys, they must be way bigger than him.
Because he's not a big guy.
brendan schaub
No, he's not a huge guy.
He's gonna get fucked up.
joe rogan
How dare you, Eddie Bravo?
How dare you, crushing the man's spirit?
unidentified
Two years?
eddie bravo
You've been training two years?
joe rogan
No, look at this striking.
It's fucking elite.
eddie bravo
You've been training two years?
brendan schaub
How dare you, Joe Rogan?
joe rogan
It's elite?
brendan schaub
How dare you?
bryan callen
It's elite.
joe rogan
It's world class.
brendan schaub
Well, it is.
He's fine at world-class level.
joe rogan
Look, he's a guy who's taking a big fucking chance.
We can mock him all day long, but at the end of the day, you've got to respect the fact that he's going to do it.
brendan schaub
I don't think too many other people would do it.
How many other people would do it at his level?
joe rogan
I don't know, man.
Also, I'm very curious to see how he responds to the pressure.
brendan schaub
Me too.
That's the one thing that bothers me.
I heard people go, oh, are you worried about the crowd and the UFC jitters?
They're real.
And he goes, I've been in front of big, big crowds.
It's no different.
I'm telling you it's different.
I've played football in way bigger crowds.
Fighting is completely different.
Even though you wrestle and it's one-on-one, it does not count.
joe rogan
Yeah, but the wrestling's not real.
brendan schaub
That's what I'm saying.
joe rogan
He hasn't done anything competition-wise.
brendan schaub
There's no pressure.
joe rogan
Didn't do karate tournaments.
Didn't wrestle.
Didn't kick box.
There's no jujitsu tournaments in his past.
So the only competitions that he's had, really realistically, are smokers inside the gym, which I believe they put him through a few.
eddie bravo
How did he get into the WWE? How did that happen?
What's that story?
He's not a big guy.
Was he an actor?
How did he do it?
bryan callen
I don't know.
joe rogan
It's a good question.
eddie bravo
He'd have something special about him if he's a small dude, he's not taking steroids.
joe rogan
He's a famous guy.
eddie bravo
He's not taking any steroids and he's doing pro wrestling?
How does that even happen?
joe rogan
He's a good talker.
But if you watch, he's a good entertainer.
But if you watch his pro wrestling, there's guys that are in pro wrestling that are just freak athletes.
You know, and they can somersault, flip over their opponents and land behind them and then spin them around and get them a figure four toehold or whatever the fuck they do.
He's not one of those guys.
bryan callen
He's not one of those guys?
I thought he was the guy who jumped off and did flips and stuff.
unidentified
No.
eddie bravo
Not like those Mexican masks ones?
brendan schaub
No, that's not his thing.
joe rogan
Those guys are the craziest.
brendan schaub
Yeah, that's not his thing.
joe rogan
They'll scissor you in the legs and flip you by your own neck.
eddie bravo
You have to do crazy shit.
That's just the law.
If you're going to be tiny and right, you got to be fucking backflip.
brendan schaub
He was like the outcast in WWE. He was like the anti-man, like would it go against Vince McMahon, the businessman.
That was his whole spiel.
eddie bravo
Are we allowed to see like one?
What is this?
joe rogan
He's jumping through the air and he's going to land on a table?
jamie vernon
They make him do crazy shit there, but yeah.
joe rogan
Well, that doesn't mean he's athletic.
You're jumping onto a cushion.
How crazy.
My kids do that.
brendan schaub
Yeah, my mom could do that.
joe rogan
There's a place down the street from here.
There's trampolines and they have cushions.
You jump on the cushion.
eddie bravo
Sky Zone!
joe rogan
Yeah.
eddie bravo
We go there all the time, man.
joe rogan
I mean, it's kind of funny, but at the end of the day, it's not like Brock Lesnar.
You look at Brock Lesnar, and the way he would move around, he'd be like, I'd like to see that guy fight for real.
You look at this guy, and he's a reasonable athlete.
You look at his body, he's a reasonably athletic guy who looks like he works out, but you look at his legs, you don't go, Jesus, I bet that guy could jump over the fucking moon.
brendan schaub
Yeah, he's not a big guy.
He's not a real athletic guy.
He's like your everyday, average gym guy.
He's like, cool, let's see him fight.
He has a big name.
joe rogan
Hey, you never know.
brendan schaub
Everyone's tuning in.
I mean, I do know he won't be the 170-pound champ of the world.
We do know that.
joe rogan
How dare you.
How dare you?
brendan schaub
I don't think he wants to do that, either.
joe rogan
Look at him next to The Rock.
Looks like The Rock's about to eat him.
I will eat you.
brendan schaub
I would love to see The Rock fight.
eddie bravo
He doesn't look too much smaller than The Rock.
joe rogan
Oh, he's way smaller than him, dude.
eddie bravo
Not in that picture.
unidentified
Well...
eddie bravo
Look at those arms.
They look similar.
bryan callen
He's got big arms.
brendan schaub
It's for sure the camera.
joe rogan
I think it's a perspective issue.
If you see any of the...
I mean, I'm not degrading his body or anything like that, but if you look at most of the pictures of him wrestling, like go to that one on the upper left, right-hand side, go down, scroll down a little, Jamie, that next column, and there, go to the right.
Right there, click.
brendan schaub
Yeah, you can tell he wasn't taking PDs.
joe rogan
It's like he's a fit guy.
He's in shape.
But the difference between him and a Rock or absolutely a Lesnar.
Rock is a big, powerful athlete.
A guy who works out a lot.
bryan callen
He's obviously jacked.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's a jacked fucking giant dude, but Brock moves around like a guy who knows how to kill people.
There's a total difference.
Like when he grabs guys...
What happened recently?
He broke some guy's head open with elbows?
brendan schaub
An elbow, yeah.
unidentified
It's all scripted.
joe rogan
Did he do it on purpose?
brendan schaub
Yeah, for sure.
joe rogan
But it was a real cut.
brendan schaub
It's all scripted.
bryan callen
Yeah, but they have a lot of scar tissue up there from taking chairs to the head and stuff, so if you're going to open a professional wrestler up, do it there.
joe rogan
Jamie, you know this is true?
jamie vernon
He supposedly got into a real fight with somebody backstage that didn't know that the thing that was going out in the ring was stage two.
joe rogan
Oh, really?
unidentified
Some guy got mad that, you went too far, bro.
joe rogan
But he didn't because everybody knew about it.
So they planned on doing that in advance.
So the guy in the back was like, you went too far, bro.
He didn't know about it.
And he didn't know it was staged.
Is he retarded?
It's 2016. How does he not know it's staged?
It's pro wrestling, right?
jamie vernon
Supposedly Brock Lesnar's known for going off script, which is part of his craziness.
unidentified
That motherfucker.
joe rogan
That off script motherfucker.
brendan schaub
That roid raging motherfucker.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's a big fella.
It's too bad.
unidentified
Big athletic dude, yeah.
joe rogan
You know, USADA, I don't know what kind of a suspension they're going to give him, but they're talking about not giving him that much of a suspension.
brendan schaub
Fuck off.
joe rogan
He's going to get the Hillary Clinton treatment.
brendan schaub
His is straight clomate, though.
joe rogan
Listen, shut the fuck up.
brendan schaub
Different than John.
unidentified
Shut the fuck up.
bryan callen
Is he talking about coming back and fighting another fight?
joe rogan
Oh yeah, I'm sure he would.
I'm sure he would.
He made a ton of money.
bryan callen
Crazy money.
joe rogan
He really didn't get beat up.
Did well.
Fought Mark Hunt, controlled him on the ground.
brendan schaub
Him versus Barnett would be next, I bet.
bryan callen
I was about to say, that'd be interesting.
joe rogan
That would be variant.
John Jones, Brock Lesnar facing potential shorter suspensions from USADA. Listen, they need to just throw USADA and go, look, we proved the point.
I think we got it.
brendan schaub
We got it.
bryan callen
But how does it work?
Does USADA take the place of the commission now in testing?
joe rogan
No.
No.
It's not that they take the place of the commission.
I believe the commissions are still within their rights to test fighters.
You'd have to actually look that up to make sure that's correct.
But the most important thing is...
The UFC is testing fighters all year round.
You have to give notice of where you are constantly, all the time.
So they're testing you whether you're in competition, whether you're out of competition, they're testing you randomly, they're showing at your house at 7 o'clock in the morning, and if they catch you, they're going to suspend you.
brendan schaub
But who do they report it to, Joe?
joe rogan
That's a good question.
Who do they report it to, and who makes the decisions?
brendan schaub
That's what I'm saying, because USADA's hired by the UFC. They're not a commission.
bryan callen
They're not a commission and USADA test you.
You get tested by two different Bodies.
brendan schaub
But remember, USADA, they don't test the whole card.
It's selective testing.
Not USADA, the commission.
But the question is, and this is what we talked about with Scott Coker, so with USADA testing, who's an employee of the UFC? The UFC hired USADA to test their athletes.
eddie bravo
They have nothing to do with the commission?
brendan schaub
No.
So when USADA, let's say they find Lesnar or Lofsky, you know, random names.
Let's say CM Punk failed a test.
Do they go, hey, Dana, he failed a test.
Like, how does it work?
What's the exact steps?
This was our exact question on firing the kid, and no one answered it, really.
bryan callen
What's the path to...
brendan schaub
Like, can Dana go, fuck, alright, well, it's just Molly.
Let's not spend him for that.
Or, you know, it's this, he's our main event, let's not do that.
bryan callen
I don't think it's up to Dana.
eddie bravo
Molly.
bryan callen
There's no way.
brendan schaub
I'd like to party.
It's weird to think about.
I don't know.
I'd love to know.
Obviously, there's no way Dana or whoever's – well, it would be Dana's going, well, he just spent for that.
Let's do this.
eddie bravo
So when it comes to Bellator, the commission still checks, but it's a random thing.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
bryan callen
Well, they can't be checking that much.
brendan schaub
Well, no, but for Fight Week, you get – I mean, it can for sure.
bryan callen
Well, how does that guy, Michael Chisley, whatever his name is, get away with it?
brendan schaub
Bobby Lashley?
Yeah.
bryan callen
Michael Chisley.
And Michael Chisley.
brendan schaub
He's fighting in places that don't have commissions.
unidentified
I got you.
brendan schaub
Like Oklahoma, wherever.
bryan callen
Oh, okay.
brendan schaub
Certain states don't have their own commission.
So then Bellator, the UFC, is responsible in deciding whether they want to test or not.
Like when Bellator went to England, there's no commission there.
There's no fight commission testing them.
So Bellator had their own testing.
eddie bravo
Hmm.
bryan callen
So, yeah.
brendan schaub
Which is, again, how's that work?
bryan callen
Not sure.
brendan schaub
It's interesting, right?
unidentified
Yeah, it's very interesting.
brendan schaub
Hey, fellas.
No commission.
Do your thing.
joe rogan
Yeah, they should be able to do whatever the fuck they want.
It's their organization.
If they don't want to hire USADA and they don't want to do it that way, let's see what it's like if you do it the old way.
brendan schaub
Let's do it the old way.
You're talking about Pride.
joe rogan
No, we're talking about Strikeforce.
brendan schaub
Or the UFC pre-days.
You're talking about Ubering vs.
Brock.
bryan callen
Without mentioning names, you can see such a difference in some people's bodies in the UFC now that they've cracked down on this shit.
joe rogan
No one more than Ubering.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
Well, maybe Vitor.
Like, TRT Vitor?
bryan callen
Yeah, unbelievable difference.
joe rogan
But that was a weird one because it was so transparent, because it was TRT. I mean, he was taking it, it was legally prescribed.
brendan schaub
Yeah, Vitor's number one on that.
joe rogan
He's number one.
Also, number one for, like, the poster boy for results.
unidentified
Like, Jesus, where do I sign?
bryan callen
Explosive as shit.
brendan schaub
If you show a kid a video and like, Dad, why the fuck wouldn't I do it?
I have no argument, son.
I have no argument.
joe rogan
Like a human and a lion made a baby.
brendan schaub
For real.
bryan callen
It's like, even Tanner, he was Tanner, the mohawk, the whole thing comes out.
joe rogan
It like crosses, it's shaved into his head.
brendan schaub
Went uber religious.
joe rogan
It was intense.
brendan schaub
Jesus ain't putting that testosterone in your blood, son.
joe rogan
Well, that was one of the things that he said after he got off of it, is that he has a holy supplement that he doesn't need TIT anymore.
brendan schaub
How's that working out for you?
joe rogan
Well, it just took a while for the holy supplement to really...
bryan callen
Yeah, the blood of Christ.
brendan schaub
I'm still fucking waiting.
Yeah.
Just pray every day.
joe rogan
Who's Weidman going to fight?
That's what I want to know.
brendan schaub
He's fighting in New York, though.
joe rogan
Well, he should be.
But, I mean, damn, he was in the mix.
Now they're talking about Rumble versus Jon Jones for a shot at the title.
And they're talking about...
Is that supposed to be at Madison Square Garden?
Is that what they're saying?
brendan schaub
That's what they're saying.
So wouldn't it be Rockhold Weidman 2?
joe rogan
Rockhold, Weidman 2 would be fucking awesome.
brendan schaub
I would love to see that.
Because you have Bisping Henderson for the title in England happening in October.
joe rogan
That's in Manchester.
brendan schaub
In November, you'd have Weidman vs.
Rockhold, right?
joe rogan
It's not a bad idea, but then what do you do with Yoel Romero?
He's still in the mix.
bryan callen
Very much so.
brendan schaub
Yeah, not really.
joe rogan
You don't think he's in the mix?
brendan schaub
Not when it comes to those guys.
unidentified
Man, I don't know.
bryan callen
What do you mean, though?
joe rogan
It's hard to market.
brendan schaub
You can market the fuck out.
You're not going to put Yoel versus one of these guys in New York.
It's a huge, huge Maston Square Garden.
He's coming off suspension.
Rockhold Weidman, we're going to watch.
joe rogan
Let me tell you something.
I will see Yoel Romero fight against fucking anybody.
Me too.
Wow.
Rashad Evans.
Maybe Rashad Evans versus Yoel Romero.
brendan schaub
No, Rashad's fighting Tim Kennedy.
joe rogan
What is this?
unidentified
MSG. Yeah.
joe rogan
Holy shit.
jamie vernon
November is the only one that's supposedly confirmed.
brendan schaub
Powerful Tim Kennedy.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
Wow.
That's interesting.
So Kennedy's back in full training mode.
brendan schaub
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Because he's been overseas.
brendan schaub
He's always in shape.
joe rogan
He's been still serving.
brendan schaub
Well, he was in kill mode.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
This is fight mode.
This is easy mode for him.
Get ready for a fight?
What?
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
It's easy.
joe rogan
Talk about a guy living an intense life.
brendan schaub
Tough fight for Rashad.
I like the matchup, though.
joe rogan
It's interesting to see if he can make that 185 cut, because he's not a big 205-er, and he was carrying around quite a bit of muscle.
brendan schaub
I'm surprised Tim went on with the Reebok deal.
I wonder what did it for him.
joe rogan
I don't know.
brendan schaub
Maybe he just wants to fight.
joe rogan
Maybe he just wants a fight.
But yeah, man, it's interesting to see what can happen without the Reebok deal, without USADA, over Bellator.
And they're slowly starting to get top talent.
I mean, now they've got Benson, they've got Rory.
brendan schaub
Roy's by far the biggest.
joe rogan
By far the best, right?
brendan schaub
Biggest.
Young, still has a lot of fight left in him.
eddie bravo
Ben's right up there with them.
Benson Henderson?
brendan schaub
Too many wars.
joe rogan
No, he's had some wars.
Too many wars.
He's slipped a little bit.
I mean, he might still be a lead of the elite, but at one point in time, he's accomplished more than any of them.
I mean, he was...
bryan callen
He's amazing.
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, he was...
eddie bravo
He was a champ.
brendan schaub
WC champ.
joe rogan
WC champ.
bryan callen
Even on our podcast, he even kind of hinted at...
He's coming to the end of sort of what he considers his MMA career.
joe rogan
He can only do it for so long.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
But he didn't hint that...
No, he thinks he's going to be champ, and he's obviously fighting for the belt.
bryan callen
Sure.
brendan schaub
He's fighting Chandler for the belt, which is a tough fucking fight for him.
joe rogan
Tough fucking fight.
brendan schaub
Chandler's a nightmare.
joe rogan
He's dangerous.
brendan schaub
And Ben hasn't...
You know, I love Ben, but he hasn't looked that great in Pelotor.
Lost his first fight.
His last fight with Pitbull.
Not a great fight.
I'm actually losing that fight until Pitbull got hurt.
joe rogan
Rory's going to take a whole year off for his nose.
brendan schaub
For his nose, yeah.
bryan callen
And that's from Robbie Lawler.
joe rogan
Yeah, that crazy smash-em-up fight.
Well, Wonderboy opened it up, but as Robbie Lawler broke it so bad in that fight that he broke it twice more in training for Wonderboy.
It just keeps breaking.
So I don't know if he gets surgery for that.
Like, what do you do?
brendan schaub
He thinks it's just time.
Like, he had the proper surgery, but he keeps rushing back and it's just not getting better.
bryan callen
Can't breathe.
joe rogan
If he had the proper surgery and he went and got smashed up again, it's probably got to be cleared up again.
brendan schaub
So maybe that's why he's taking a year.
joe rogan
That is such an issue with fighters because they want to get their nose fixed, but if you do get your nose fixed, you really shouldn't get punched in it for a while.
But if you don't get your nose fixed, then you can't breathe out of your fucking nose.
brendan schaub
Yeah, you have to do it.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's a real weird one.
Vanderlei had the craziest solution.
Make your nose bigger.
Go to get surgery, take a chunk of cartilage out of your rib and make me a big nose that I can really breathe out of.
brendan schaub
Give me that LeBron James nose.
I'll take the LeBron.
joe rogan
He got this extra chunk in his nose where his nose was bigger than it was before his fighting career.
brendan schaub
He got a nose job.
Let's be real here.
joe rogan
He got a nose job that makes your nose bigger.
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
Which is crazy.
brendan schaub
Which is rare.
joe rogan
No one's ever done that.
brendan schaub
Hollywood was like, dude, what?
Yeah, I want it bigger.
Bigger with my nostrils like this.
So the ear's like ram.
unidentified
Like his ram ear right into my fucking nostrils.
joe rogan
Like he's got a hood scoop on.
brendan schaub
If you want, I guess, man.
It's fucking nuts when you think about it.
joe rogan
That is funny, man.
It is funny.
Yeah, he had to get all sorts of stuff done.
He had to get his eyebrows cut down.
He had so much scar tissue around his eyes that his eyes were sagging.
Yeah.
brendan schaub
He had a facelift.
joe rogan
Well, he got all the scar tissue cut, and then they pull it up.
bryan callen
Let's see it before and after, Jamie.
joe rogan
Well, you can see that he's got deep scars all around his eyes.
Like, Vandele has been in some...
brendan schaub
Fucking wars.
Legend, legend, legend.
joe rogan
And then on top of that, he comes from Shoot the Box and their sparring sessions.
Nobody spars like they used to spar.
brendan schaub
Hell no.
joe rogan
Like today, nobody does it like that.
They used to knock each other out for fun.
You can't.
brendan schaub
You can't spar like that.
joe rogan
There's an old story of Vanderlei.
eddie bravo
Before and after.
joe rogan
Oh, that's not...
brendan schaub
That's not even a good one.
joe rogan
That's not even a good one.
brendan schaub
No, because that right one's not the new one.
joe rogan
Well, the right one is...
The one on the right-hand side is relaxed, like after the surgery.
Go above there, like there, like there.
You can see, like, it's...
You got to see him, like, right after the surgery.
That says nose number three.
He's had three different noses?
brendan schaub
Look, it says one, two, three.
You see that, Jamie?
Nose one.
The next one's two.
joe rogan
Yeah, so what that is, is that's right after surgery, and that's when it's a little bit more relaxed, I guess.
But yeah, he had to get sliced down.
That guy's had some crazy wars.
Him and Shogun fought over a Pitbull puppy, supposedly.
And he knocked Shogun out and took the puppy.
They made a contact, if I knock you out, I get the puppy for free.
If you knock me out, I'll give you, you know, whatever you're asking.
brendan schaub
That's some Brazilian shit.
eddie bravo
You actually do a really good Vanderlei impression.
brendan schaub
Vanderlei.
unidentified
Vanderlei, Dana White.
You know, this is what they've done in Nevada.
Athletic commission.
What they've done is not good.
eddie bravo
It's almost as good as Cowan.
unidentified
It's very good.
brendan schaub
Just like him.
joe rogan
They fucked him, man.
He might have got fucked more than any MMA fighter ever.
They banned him for life.
brendan schaub
For life.
bryan callen
For life.
joe rogan
And he won.
So they threw it out, but now he doesn't have a license.
He doesn't have a timeline.
He doesn't have it.
And they're talking about him fighting.
They were talking about him fighting Fedor in Japan in like December, right?
brendan schaub
In Risen, yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
They even had posters and shit.
joe rogan
I don't know if that's ever gonna happen.
bryan callen
When does a guy like that, after all that damage, take...
Stop.
I mean, that's probably...
brendan schaub
Him for his fate or I'll watch, though.
joe rogan
Live to fight.
unidentified
Fight is a good fight.
brendan schaub
It's like a Brazilian Arnold Schwarzenegger.
bryan callen
Come on, do it!
brendan schaub
Come on, do it!
joe rogan
Dana White.
unidentified
Dana.
joe rogan
Back to Pride.
brendan schaub
Dude, you want to hear a fucking crazy story I heard about Jake Ellenberger.
This is from his camp.
So Jake, after his last fight, have you heard this?
joe rogan
No.
brendan schaub
Jake, after his last fight, gets cut.
Joe Silva calls him like, yeah, man, see you, you cut.
Jake flies to Vegas, shows up at the UFC headquarters, meet with Dana.
He's in his office.
He's like, I need one more, man.
You got to give me one more.
I fought monsters.
My head wasn't right.
I have all this shit going on.
You got to give me one more.
Dan's like, I can't, man.
You've lost, whatever, four out of your last five.
It just ain't happening.
Gets up, leaves, and Jake goes, I'm not going anywhere.
I'm not going anywhere until you give me another fight.
I'm not doing anything.
He's staying and leaves, does all his shit, comes back.
Jake's still in his office.
Jesus Christ, man.
unidentified
Fine.
brendan schaub
One more fucking shot.
Days go by.
Joe Civil calls his manager, Morgan, who I know really well, and he goes, Alright, man, we got your boy a fucking fight.
We got Matt Brown.
And his manager goes, Jesus, man!
Matt Brown!
I don't know if we...
Do you have anyone else?
And Joe Silva goes, no, that's the fight.
Just forget it.
He doesn't have a fight.
Hangs up and then Morgan's like, no, no, no.
We'll fucking take it.
And then calls Jake and then obviously Jake goes in there.
Terrible matchup for him.
Just starches Matt Brown.
joe rogan
Knocks him down with a right hand.
Takes him off his feet and then liver kicks him.
brendan schaub
Great story, man.
bryan callen
Crazy fight.
brendan schaub
When they told him that story, I had goosebumps.
joe rogan
Good for you, Jake.
brendan schaub
Good for you, man.
bryan callen
Damn, desperation can sometimes breed great success.
unidentified
God bless him.
joe rogan
Well, he also started working with Nick Curzon.
Nick Curzon, who's a strength and conditioning trainer, Speed of Sport.
He's Marv Marinovich's disciple.
And he's the guy that's done Joe Schilling.
He handles Provodnikov, Aaron Pico.
A lot of elite athletes go to him.
It's really pretty revolutionary strength and conditioning ideas.
And he worked with them and really built up his training and built up his endurance and did a lot of plyos and shit with them.
brendan schaub
For Jake, obviously he was fighting just monsters.
It seemed to be a little bit of a mental thing.
He's been fighting forever.
joe rogan
He's been fighting the best of the best.
brendan schaub
Yes, it's hard to...
joe rogan
First fight in the UFC is against Carlos Condit.
brendan schaub
Yeah, man.
Remember, he knocked out Jake Shields, too.
joe rogan
Knocked him out, starched him.
Was that his first fight in the UFC or was it Condit's first fight in the UFC? It was Ellenberger.
I want to say Condit's first fight in the UFC was Ellenberger.
brendan schaub
Condit's because he came from WEC. Ellenberger knocked out Nate Marquardt, remember?
joe rogan
It was Ellenberger's first fight in the UFC then.
I want to know.
That's interesting.
bryan callen
It wasn't Nate, right?
brendan schaub
No.
joe rogan
Ellenberg is a beast, man.
brendan schaub
I was way down the road.
joe rogan
Remember when he knocked out Pele?
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
Outside of the UFC? KO'd Pele with one punch?
brendan schaub
Crazy power, man.
Crazy power.
eddie bravo
Pele Landy?
unidentified
Carlos Condon.
joe rogan
Carlos Condon was his first fight as well?
So I think it was Carlos' first fight as well.
Decision split.
Real close fight.
brendan schaub
And remember when Jake Ellenberger beat Shields?
That's the same week Shields' dad passed away.
And he was thinking about not fighting.
And he took the fight and just got starts.
Not to take anything away from that fight.
joe rogan
He was super close to his dad, too.
Super, super close.
unidentified
Can you imagine?
brendan schaub
No, I can't.
unidentified
He just...
joe rogan
It's hard to imagine.
Hard to imagine fighting right after losing your dad like that.
Like, your motivation would be out the window.
brendan schaub
His dad was his manager, too, I think.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
It's a bummer, man.
joe rogan
Yeah.
What is this?
Rumor?
Conor McGregor versus GSP at 205. Where are you hearing this?
I was looking around for...
jamie vernon
There's rumor-reveal stuff for that fight, and there's supposedly a big fight announcement is all I saw, and then I saw a big McGregor fight announcement.
brendan schaub
That would be awesome.
joe rogan
Prepared to get wrestle-fucked.
Just a rumor right now.
brendan schaub
Prepared to get that French-fucked for 25 minutes.
Give me my fucking money back.
joe rogan
It would be interesting, man, because Connor is fast as fuck.
And at least in that first round, while he's exploding with those ridiculous sprint punches that he lands, he lands those counter shots on you and they're so fast.
brendan schaub
St. Pierre's not slow.
joe rogan
He's not slow.
brendan schaub
And he's way, way too smart to get caught with that.
joe rogan
And he's big.
He's a big boy.
brendan schaub
And can grapple with the best of them.
joe rogan
And his natural walk-around weight is a solid 20-plus pounds heavier.
unidentified
Solid.
bryan callen
190?
joe rogan
Yeah, he's probably at least in the high 180s.
brendan schaub
100%.
joe rogan
And Connor weighed 168 against Nate, which you've got to assume that that's him not really cutting weight.
He's just really fit.
brendan schaub
For Conor, man, everyone knows I'm the biggest Conor fan, but you look at the matchups at 55, besides 45, which you can't really make anymore, but you look at 55 and then these super fights, it's not great, man.
joe rogan
Well, they're talking about doing him and Eddie Alvarez.
That is no picnic.
unidentified
No.
brendan schaub
And that's his easiest matchup at 55. Definitely not his easiest.
No, just go through the top five.
Bring up the top five, Jimmy.
I went through this the other day, I'm like, Jesus Christ, man.
joe rogan
I could not imagine how you could say that the champion would be his easiest fight.
Stylistically, I don't think that's an easy fight for anybody.
Eddie Alvarez is a fucking monster.
brendan schaub
Exactly, that's what I'm saying.
It's not good for Conor.
It's a rough fight for him, but stylistically, out of the top five, I'm like, fuck's sakes, man.
bryan callen
He doesn't want to fight Khabib.
joe rogan
Well, Dos Anjos is going to fight Tony motherfucking Ferguson.
brendan schaub
Both those two are top five.
joe rogan
Rafael Dos Anjos, Tony Ferguson in Mexico.
unidentified
That's going to be great.
joe rogan
In Mexico, my friend.
That's going to be great.
brendan schaub
Look at the top five for me, Joe.
Look at that.
bryan callen
Khabib Nurmagomedov.
joe rogan
Nurmagomedov is a monster.
We'll see.
Dos Anjos and Tony Ferguson are locked in a death fucking match for the number one position.
brendan schaub
Even the winner of that.
Let's say the winner of that.
Or either of those guys.
Even the loser fights, Connor, it's a fucking tough fight.
joe rogan
Okay, and Barboza.
Well, here's the thing about Barboza.
Barboza's kicks are out of this fucking world.
Like he might be, but he's been caught before.
He's been cracked.
Barboza's your best bet.
Cowboy cracked him and took his back, and Donald Cerrone and him would be chaos.
bryan callen
Donald would take him down.
joe rogan
Donald is not fighting 55 anymore.
brendan schaub
No.
joe rogan
He's going to keep fighting at 170. So I don't even know why they got him ranked there.
Because I think he's top 10 right now at welterweight as well.
brendan schaub
He's number 7. Yeah, isn't he?
joe rogan
Yeah, Donald Cerrone.
It's interesting.
He's top 10 in both weight classes.
bryan callen
He's fighting better than he's ever fought.
I mean, he's just incredible.
joe rogan
How dare you have him before Neil Magny?
brendan schaub
No, no, no.
How dare you?
I think Donald, especially after that last win, should be number 5 in that lineup.
bryan callen
He beat Edson Barbosa.
joe rogan
Yes, he did, but he beat him at lightweight, and now he's not really fighting at lightweight anymore, but yeah, you've got a good point, because Barboza's listed as number four, but Barboza's looked sensational, especially in his last fight against Gilbert Melendez.
Barboza's just off the charts technical.
brendan schaub
I know, but you've got to count head-to-head.
joe rogan
I know.
I agree.
And then before that, his fight with Pettis.
But the fact that Donald is semi-retired from that division, you gotta give Barbosa a little bit of a bomb.
brendan schaub
But this, you see my thing, Joey?
Like, you look at it, alright, Khabib, fuck's sakes.
Dos Anchos, good God.
Tony Persson, not great.
Nate Diaz at 55, he's better at 55 than with 70. Why?
I think it's natural for him.
I think he's gonna be faster, better cardio.
I think it's a tough fight.
unidentified
Maybe.
brendan schaub
All I'm saying for Conor, 55, if you're his management, you're like, God damn, man.
There's no, like, you know what I'm saying?
joe rogan
Right.
There's a lot of killers.
eddie bravo
I don't think he's looking for easy fights.
I think he wants big money.
unidentified
Didn't say that.
brendan schaub
Didn't say that.
If you want big money, fight Floyd Mayweather.
You do a super fight with some of these guys.
Yeah.
eddie bravo
Donald Cerrone McGregor would be awesome.
joe rogan
It'd be awesome.
eddie bravo
How is Tumanov ranked 15th?
At 170. I don't know.
The welterweight division is insane.
joe rogan
It is insane.
eddie bravo
That's insane.
joe rogan
Yeah, it is insane.
And then, did you see how good Lorenz Larkin looked against Neil Magny?
Good lord.
brendan schaub
How is he ranked lower than Neil Magny?
Why is he 9 and Neil's 8?
joe rogan
Because his ratings suck.
That's terrible.
He just ran through Neil Magny.
brendan schaub
What cheeto fingers do these?
joe rogan
He literally ran through them in the first round.
brendan schaub
Oh, like a knife to warm butter just starched my boy Neil Magny.
joe rogan
How is he ranked below him?
That is insane.
eddie bravo
What about Kelvin right there?
Kelvin, number five.
joe rogan
By the way, Tumanoff beat Lorenz Larkin.
So Tumanoff won a decision against Lorenz Larkin and he's down there at number 15, whereas Lorenz just destroyed Neil Magny and he's at 9 and Magny's at 8. These rankings are retarded.
eddie bravo
They're so bad.
unidentified
Maybe they're old.
eddie bravo
They're probably old.
joe rogan
I doubt they're old.
brendan schaub
No, they're not old because they have the up and down signs.
joe rogan
Well, this is what it is.
These rankings are journalists.
Do you know how these things are established?
Journalists.
A bunch of journalists give their top pick, and half of them are drunk.
They're not paying attention.
They're doing drugs.
brendan schaub
Half of them are jacking off to their favorite fighter.
joe rogan
Well, it doesn't make any sense.
Those ratings don't make any sense.
Tumanoff being at 15, Lorenz Larkin, who he beat, being ranked way above him, and then Neil Magny being above him when he just blew Magny out of the water in the first round.
It doesn't make any sense.
brendan schaub
Remember when the base guys pay off the rankings, and the fighter's like, What the fuck is going on here?
Dana's like, just fucking with you.
It's going to be Reebok.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Just fucking with you.
We ain't doing that.
bryan callen
That's crazy.
I'm just messing with you.
brendan schaub
That's crazy.
joe rogan
Yeah, the rankings and the money and all that jazz, it's just, what a mess.
unidentified
But yeah, for Conor, it gets tough at 55. I'd love to see him fight Eddie, though.
bryan callen
I agree.
He could win.
joe rogan
That's probably the fight.
bryan callen
He could beat him.
joe rogan
That's probably the fight.
bryan callen
Then what happens?
If he gets the belt then, he would probably defend against Khabib.
joe rogan
Yeah, good luck with all that.
bryan callen
Yeah, that's a disaster.
brendan schaub
I don't think anyone wants to fight Khabib.
No one.
It's not even a Conor issue.
It's an entire fucking division.
joe rogan
They're just hoping that he keeps training like a fucking werewolf and then tears another knee or blows his back out.
That's what everybody does is stay back while that guy whips himself into a frenzy in every training camp.
brendan schaub
If I'm his coach, that bitch is just on the Aerodyne.
That's his whole camp.
joe rogan
God.
brendan schaub
Irodyne wears that crazy Russian hat and then jumps in the fucking octagon.
joe rogan
He just jumps from the sauna into the frozen lake.
I don't know why people talk to him.
brendan schaub
I just have a bubble around him.
Irodyne.
Crazy Russian hat.
joe rogan
Do sprints.
Build up that cardio.
brendan schaub
He's a fucking nightmare.
joe rogan
When you watch him fight Dos Anjos, and you see how Dos Anjos just overwhelms guys with grappling and pressure, and then Khabib just ragdolls him.
brendan schaub
He's nuts.
joe rogan
Just ragdolls him.
brendan schaub
Oh, you like to grapple?
unidentified
Check this shit out.
joe rogan
This is my favorite thing to do.
I like to break people.
brendan schaub
My daycare was grappling grizzly bears, you fuck.
Check this out.
bryan callen
Does he have a fight coming up, Khabib?
Is he scheduled to fight anybody?
brendan schaub
No, he doesn't have anything.
joe rogan
No, he doesn't have anything.
Why?
Probably injuries.
I don't know.
brendan schaub
Blow his asshole out or something.
He's always hurt.
bryan callen
No, I think he's healthy.
joe rogan
I hope he is.
He won a fight recently against a guy who took the fight on real short notice.
brendan schaub
And it was straight Mahan Miller bully beatdown style.
joe rogan
It was a pretty ferocious beatdown.
But he looked like it was good for him to get that fight under his belt, but he did look like a killer.
He's a killer.
I mean, his grappling is so next level.
brendan schaub
The injuries are killing him, man.
joe rogan
Train's hard.
brendan schaub
Dude, did you see his video of him in Russia doing like a signing for Reebok?
joe rogan
No.
brendan schaub
It was like Tom Cruise shit.
joe rogan
Oh, I'm sure.
brendan schaub
They freak the fuck out.
joe rogan
Dude, anytime I post anything about the UFC, my Instagram comments get swarmed with Khabib.
Khabib time.
Khabib time.
Really?
Oh my god.
In other parts of the world, like here he is.
You see like this fucking, the high-level smash and grappling this guy has.
brendan schaub
You're right, Joe.
This was good for him, though.
This was good for him, because he had a lot of time off with the injuries.
joe rogan
Darryl Horcher, to get that fight under his belt, feel good.
bryan callen
Dude, he does whatever he wants.
joe rogan
He's so powerful.
When it comes to his grappling...
bryan callen
Look at this Dos Anjos thing.
joe rogan
Yeah, play that fight.
Play him versus Dos Anjos.
bryan callen
Let's see this.
joe rogan
Full fight.
He's a goddamn werewolf, man.
Even the way he leaps in and throws punches, he's so ferocious.
It's hard to stay healthy when you train like that, though.
I don't know what a guy does.
brendan schaub
Some guys are fucking figuring it out.
joe rogan
Hey, answer me this.
How come they can show this on YouTube?
Is it because it's in a little window?
jamie vernon
Yeah, this is the tricks they play.
joe rogan
This is a little window.
jamie vernon
There's this faded line over here that's also going to add to tricking the computer.
joe rogan
It might have different music on it.
They added this on top of it.
brendan schaub
Definitely illegal.
joe rogan
It's definitely illegal.
Yeah, scoot up ahead so we don't have to watch them walk in.
Yeah, it's interesting, man.
This guy has been more plagued with injuries than any elite fighter other than Dominic Cruz.
Dominic Cruz and him probably take the cake.
brendan schaub
But Dominic Cruz had how many fights before he started getting all these injuries?
joe rogan
He hasn't had that many fights in the UFC. And he's undefeated, which is really crazy.
No one at this level is undefeated.
Nurmagomedov is the only guy that's undefeated.
brendan schaub
Just because he hasn't fought enough, though.
joe rogan
But it's the fucking pressure.
Look at this guy.
When he moves forward, just massive pressure.
Constant pressure.
But good distance control.
Just outside the range, but always putting that pressure on you.
brendan schaub
Skinny Dos Anjos.
joe rogan
It's a good kick to the body, but yeah, a lot skinnier Dos Anjos.
This is the fight that probably got him to start lifting weights and drinking watermelon juice.
Boom.
Look at this.
Look who carries him around and just drags him to the ground.
Dude, his grappling is so next level.
Combat Sambo, my friend.
Master of sport.
World champion.
unidentified
Unreal.
joe rogan
Just so fucking brutal.
And the style that he does, it's like, it makes sense that this guy gets injured a lot because his style is pedal to the metal.
unidentified
Explosive, yeah.
joe rogan
And you gotta train like this.
There's no way he doesn't train like this.
So if you're training like this all the time, you're dealing with little injuries, little micro injuries that get exacerbated, and then your fucking knees blow out.
Let's get the fuck out of here, boys.
Let's wrap this bitch up.
Let's bring it home.
bryan callen
Let's bring it home.
unidentified
How long did that fight go?
joe rogan
Three rounds.
Three round beating.
eddie bravo
Oh, okay.
bryan callen
I always feel like I'm particularly quiet because I'm watching the fights.
eddie bravo
Did he stop him in the third round?
joe rogan
No, no.
He just overwhelmed him.
It was a decision.
Yeah.
Overwhelmed him.
Just kept Los Angeles defending.
That's all he was doing was defending towards the end of the fight.
unidentified
Habib.
bryan callen
Habib.
joe rogan
I've worn his hat several times.
Twice at least.
Sweaty hat.
He puts it on me when I interview him after he wins.
I forget what that thing's called, the big crazy hat.
bryan callen
It's called a babushka, I think.
unidentified
Is it?
bryan callen
Uh-huh.
joe rogan
Really?
bryan callen
Babushka.
joe rogan
Are you sure?
bryan callen
Look it up.
joe rogan
What is that thing called?
Find out what that thing's called.
bryan callen
That might be just a wig, but I think it's a babushka.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
It's a warm hat, man.
It's probably like lamb's fur or sheep fur or something like that.
bryan callen
There it is.
joe rogan
What is it called?
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
That's not it?
bryan callen
Well, babushka's a grandmother, but the hat, I think the hat, headscarf tied under the chin.
Okay.
joe rogan
There you go.
Well, what is that?
Well, just Google Nurmagomedov's hat.
bryan callen
Maybe it's for babushka hat.
joe rogan
And someone will have the name of it.
I don't think it's a babushka, bro.
I think it kind of looks like a babushka, but I think it's a...
See, is that a babushka?
Okay, well, just Google Nurmagomedov's hat.
Because he comes from a very particular place, Dagestan, and they have their own kind of hat.
bryan callen
Is it Dagestan?
joe rogan
Yeah, see right there, Habib Nurmagomedov hat.
Habib hat.
bryan callen
Maybe it's just called a Habib hat.
joe rogan
Find out what it is.
There it goes.
bryan callen
Dagestani.
joe rogan
Distinctive hat.
The heritage behind it is distinctive hat.
Papeka.
P-A-P-A-K-H-A. Man, it means hat.
bryan callen
They call it hat.
They're a matter-of-fact people.
joe rogan
It says a very shaggy, wild papeka, and papeka simply means hat.
brendan schaub
On-born lamb fur?
Jesus Christ.
joe rogan
So when is he...
What is it?
On-born lamb fur?
Unborn lamb.
What?
He made the hat wear of the fur of unborn lamb.
How's that...
Is that real?
bryan callen
Yeah.
It's super soft.
joe rogan
They give birth to them like that?
bryan callen
No, they take it out of the womb.
joe rogan
That doesn't make any sense.
bryan callen
They take it out of the womb and they take the fur that's already there because it's extra soft.
joe rogan
But does that make sense that they could get that much fur that long inside the womb?
bryan callen
Yeah, they do that stuff too.
So one car company, I can't remember, was using Cow Fetus.
Because the leather was super soft.
joe rogan
Shut the fuck up.
bryan callen
Swear to God.
joe rogan
What company?
bryan callen
I think it was Infinity.
brendan schaub
No way.
bryan callen
I think how many animals they'd have to kill, B. They were using cow fetus.
Cow fetus is like, it's in the womb and it's so soft.
It's pretty fucking brutal if you think about it.
brendan schaub
Infinity was doing that?
joe rogan
You better not say that.
brendan schaub
They'd be getting sued.
bryan callen
It was some car company.
joe rogan
You're going to get sued.
bryan callen
I will.
joe rogan
No, you're going to get sued.
bryan callen
Yeah, they're going to sue me because they waited for the cat to be born, then they used it.
joe rogan
Wow, how weird, huh?
Well, you know, that's what lamb is.
I was trying to explain something.
They're like, what's the difference between sheep and lamb?
A lamb's a baby sheep.
bryan callen
It's a baby sheep.
joe rogan
And someone looked at me like, what?
I go, yeah, it's a baby sheep.
bryan callen
How do you know that?
It's delicious.
joe rogan
Yeah, you didn't know that?
eddie bravo
Where lamb skin condoms are made from baby sheep?
joe rogan
Uh-huh.
brendan schaub
Goddamn, that's sad.
joe rogan
There's a difference between a lamb and a sheep.
Like, if you eat lamb, you're eating a baby sheep.
But if you eat mutton, you're eating a sheep.
bryan callen
That's right.
joe rogan
So, like, the people in, like, Scotland eating mutton.
bryan callen
Scotland.
joe rogan
They're eating that stuff.
That's a different, that's a much more gamey.
bryan callen
But don't kill the lambs.
brendan schaub
I don't fuck with lambs.
bryan callen
I slaughter the lambs.
joe rogan
It's really good for you.
bryan callen
Slaughter those fuckers.
joe rogan
It's really like a very healthy protein.
Very easy to digest, too.
I love lamb.
brendan schaub
Don't fuck with lamb or pig, really.
bryan callen
I do.
You don't fuck with pig?
I eat pig.
eddie bravo
You're not on that bacon thing?
bryan callen
I eat lamb.
I eat pussy.
joe rogan
Yeah, I like bacon.
eddie bravo
Bacon's good.
joe rogan
But I don't like domesticated pigs.
The whole pig industry, it bothers me because pigs are smart.
And they're all penned up like that.
There's only one way to get bacon outside of that.
You've got to find a dude who's a farmer who's ethical.
You've got to find a guy who's a farmer.
It's too tough.
This has got Joel Salatin.
Yeah, Joel Salatin, what he does is he has a giant piece of land, and he moves his pigs around with electric fences.
So he sets up an electric perimeter, and then he moves it, sets up a new electric perimeter, and then he moves it.
So they're constantly foraging like regular pigs.
bryan callen
They love to forage.
joe rogan
But they're constantly contained.
So they're domesticated.
But they have dark meat, like a wild pig does.
brendan schaub
Because the other pigs, aren't they eating just their shit, everything?
They're eating bullshit?
joe rogan
They eat everything they can get their hands on.
It's a hard, scrabble life.
bryan callen
They do it.
The Imbérico ham, the Blackfoot hog, they eat acorns.
That's why that fucking prosciutto is...
joe rogan
I got some in that dick.
That refrigerator back there.
Yeah.
My buddy brought them back.
Chris Ryan, Dr. Chris Ryan, brought it back from Spain.
brendan schaub
What, is it salami or something?
bryan callen
You're going to have to cut me off some stuff?
joe rogan
No, it's like prosciutto.
bryan callen
It's the best prosciutto in the world.
joe rogan
The fuck?
brendan schaub
We could have a fight companion with pig prosciutto.
joe rogan
You guys would be smacking into the...
I'm going to have to get some of that.
Just animated gifs of you popping peanuts in your mouth and chewing.
brendan schaub
I'll snack in some nuts.
joe rogan
All of us.
All of us are guilty.
eddie bravo
We didn't drink any wine in this one.
joe rogan
We didn't.
That's why it was a good podcast.
brendan schaub
Good point.
bryan callen
No more wine.
I'm afraid I'm the wine master and I must reserve the wine for after the five companions.
joe rogan
Sometimes we just get a little hammered.
brendan schaub
A little hammered, a little high.
bryan callen
Wine gets you going, man.
joe rogan
A little ridiculized.
eddie bravo
This is a non-drunk podcast.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was a noon podcast.
We're responsible.
We're all parents.
bryan callen
Good God.
joe rogan
We're Four Dads.
This is our new sitcom.
It's called Four Dads.
Four Dads Escape.
bryan callen
Four Dads.
We don't watch the fights.
We don't know what's going on.
joe rogan
This is the only place where we can be ourself.
Because we live with women.
bryan callen
With women.
And by ourselves we mean we talk about fighting at nauseam.
joe rogan
You get all those four bitches to move into a house together and take care of the kids.
And we'll move into a house right next door.
bryan callen
Yep.
joe rogan
And just have fight companions every day.
bryan callen
And swap!
joe rogan
They can come over and go, this place smells like men.
unidentified
Ew.
joe rogan
They come over and pick up your sock.
Is this yours, Brandon?
Brian, you left pizza on the fucking counter.
bryan callen
Sorry.
We're like, sorry.
joe rogan
You live over in their world, bro.
You gotta live by their rules.
You gotta not use those special towels.
You know, like, did you use the towel that's hanging?
It's a towel.
It's a fucking towel.
Of course I used it.
That's a decorative towel.
This is a different kind of towel.
bryan callen
And it's guys.
We sleep in the same bed, but it's guys.
We're like, this is awesome.
unidentified
We're naked.
joe rogan
We don't care.
We're not scared of dicks.
bryan callen
I got a morning heart on you guys.
joe rogan
Look at this thing.
I'm not scared.
bryan callen
Brennan, grab it.
Let's see how big your hand is on my dick.
Who came first?
joe rogan
I'm down.
brendan schaub
I'm down, man.
bryan callen
My prostate's big because I'm older, so I'm dribbling, you guys.
Eddie, you'll see you shoot.
joe rogan
One of the things I think about Brian whenever we go on these hunting trips is like it's all dudes.
We're all like, and Rannell and his crew who are this fucking salt of the earth.
We're hanging around just laughing.
I'm like, this is what we're supposed to do.
bryan callen
It's true.
joe rogan
What men are supposed to do is get in these groups and they go out and they just leave the women alone.
The women talk shit about you while you're gone.
And then enough time passes where they miss you.
And you come back and they meet you at the door and you hug.
This is traditional.
bryan callen
That's right.
joe rogan
When you're all on top of each other all the time, it just wears on each other.
unidentified
Right.
bryan callen
And we have so much fun on this.
Those hunting trips are all one big comedy show.
joe rogan
Well, it's all men being men.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's saying things that would get you in real trouble if people heard.
brendan schaub
Don't you feel like you're doing that in general, though, when you're doing your comedy and hanging out with your friends and the companions and shit?
bryan callen
Yes, but when you're in the middle of Alaska, like we're literally miles from anything, including other animals, by the way, you just end up...
There's something that happens to you where you just want to say the most outrageous shit.
Because you're like, how can I one-up...
Joe, now, I'm going to say something outrageous that's going to even shock me.
brendan schaub
No, I get that, but you could do it at dinner, though, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, but there's a difference.
When you're in the woods and you're doing this, and me and Brian are specifically geared for fucking with each other in those kind of situations.
And I also know that what he's saying, he doesn't mean, and he's joking, and I'm expecting him to take it to another place that's even more fucked up, and it just keeps going.
And when we were in Montana the first time, it was literally $5.
Days of gay jokes.
bryan callen
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
And with a few wife-beating jokes thrown in there.
bryan callen
I took a shit.
joe rogan
A few choke-fuck jokes.
bryan callen
I took a shit and Joe took a fucking...
He put a flag in it.
joe rogan
I made an aluminum foil flag.
bryan callen
He fucking put a flag in it.
In my shit.
joe rogan
Terrible shit, too.
bryan callen
A terrible mountain.
Dehydrated mountain.
eddie bravo
You don't bury your shit in the woods?
bryan callen
I'm not fucking buried.
I'm in the middle of...
Dude, that place sucked.
I'm sorry about the shit.
Nobody's going to be like, God damn it, in the Missouri Brakes where it's all clear and nothing.
How dare you take a shit there?
You ruined the landscape.
Fuck.
It was a mustard poo.
joe rogan
You were supposed to take it and put it in bags, and most of the time we did that.
unidentified
No bags.
Why?
joe rogan
Occasionally, because you're supposed to protect the environment from your poo.
bryan callen
You don't want a bunch of shit, especially your shit after you've been eating that dehydrated mountain food that comes in a pouch.
brendan schaub
You can't just bury it?
joe rogan
You can bury it too.
bryan callen
Yeah, I buried it.
joe rogan
That's probably the best way.
bryan callen
You can bury it or you can put a flag in it.
brendan schaub
No, you bury it like a gentleman.
bryan callen
With a message that says, Brian was here.
joe rogan
Well, he shit on a log and then I put an aluminum foil.
I'm seeing if I have it in here.
Aluminum foil flag in the log.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
It was good times.
bryan callen
Yeah, and by the way, we were in our late 40s.
joe rogan
Yes.
This was a couple months ago.
Tax-paying adults.
brendan schaub
Tax and adults.
How often do you think you guys could do that?
eddie bravo
Like once a year?
bryan callen
I do it.
I could do it once a month.
eddie bravo
Once a month.
bryan callen
I mean, if I'm with him, which is the fun of being an idiot.
brendan schaub
You can go hunting once a month.
bryan callen
No, but being an idiot, being out there and being miserable, but kind of having fun at the same time, there's something about it that makes...
It brings out, in many ways, the best of you.
joe rogan
You have a good time, even though you're miserable.
bryan callen
It's bonding.
joe rogan
You're miserable, and you're cold, and you're wet, but you're laughing your ass off.
When we finally made that fire, have you ever enjoyed a fire that much?
Never.
We were rained on for five days in a row, and then we finally got a dry night, and we got a bunch of the guys from camp to find as many small pieces of dry wood as we could.
We stacked it on top of each other and started lighting Fritos.
bryan callen
You were wet.
Joe didn't bring the proper rain gear.
He was basically wet, including his sleeping bag.
He was wet the whole time.
And I remember we were in that tent, and I was looking at you, and you were just talking, but you were shaking.
joe rogan
You were shivering.
Constantly like a little shiver.
bryan callen
And your lips were going, and they were jiggling back and forth.
brendan schaub
You had a set of lips on you.
You had a set of lips.
bryan callen
He's got huge lips.
And you just kept talking and it was just, guess what?
It's the morning, our body temperature is low, we're wet, we're cold as fuck, and we're going to be cold until we start walking.
joe rogan
Yeah, but once you start walking, even though you're wet, you're wearing wool clothes.
That's the thing about those first light merino wool.
Keeps you warm even when you're wet.
brendan schaub
How many days?
joe rogan
We were there for six days.
It was awesome though, man.
Even though it sucked, I think about the memory and it was awesome.
And then also the landscape was awesome.
It's so wild there, man.
brendan schaub
You guys should do that shit every Saturday at Runyon or some shit.
bryan callen
You'd be surprised though because the memory brings you back.
joe rogan
That's turkey hunting.
bryan callen
Look at that.
Look at how handsome I am.
I mean, we are.
joe rogan
That was in Northern California.
That was hilarious because we would go turkey hunting during the day and then Brian and I would go to the finest restaurants at night because there was all these amazing restaurants in Napa.
brendan schaub
Oh, really?
joe rogan
And these fucking guys wanted to pretend they were camping, so they went back to this Airbnb house and made fucking burgers.
I go, come on, guys.
It's on me.
bryan callen
Let's go eat.
joe rogan
Let's get wine.
bryan callen
Yes.
unidentified
They didn't want to.
brendan schaub
Well, that's the way to do it.
bryan callen
Yes!
brendan schaub
I'm down for that.
bryan callen
Yes, we drink the best wine and eat the best food in the world.
joe rogan
Brian and I went to this fucking insane restaurant and I had this short rib risotto that I still jerk off to this day.
brendan schaub
God, that's fucking fresh.
joe rogan
It had like shaved squash, like a pumpkin, like a pumpkin-y I haven't eaten it today either, so I'm starving.
With risotto and this rich burgundy red wine sauce for the short ribs.
bryan callen
I'm getting nostalgic right now, looking at these pictures for real.
Do we have a good time, man?
joe rogan
You ain't gonna cry.
I just did one without you.
It wasn't as fun.
bryan callen
Well, you know, you didn't bring me.
joe rogan
Well, I couldn't.
You don't know how to shoot a bow and arrow, you fuck.
bryan callen
Fuck, that's right.
brendan schaub
But you could be there for moral support and just like, hold Joe's hips.
bryan callen
I could have practiced and I could have held your hips while you shot.
brendan schaub
You could do that.
bryan callen
I could have gotten your ear while you were drawing and I could have gone, control your breathing, control your breathing, control your breathing.
This is going to feel like what it is and it is what it is.
joe rogan
You know, the more spectacular thing about it or the weirdest thing about it is being introduced to the world of public land.
That's one of the weirder things about hunting that I didn't anticipate.
brendan schaub
What do you mean?
joe rogan
We own human beings that live in the United States and pay taxes.
We own enormous chunks of land that are public land that you can go hiking on and rafting and you can go fishing and hunting if you have the proper tags and licenses.
And it's not like this anywhere in the world.
We have this incredible resource.
We have all this public land that you can go and explore on.
And it's all amazing.
There's so much amazing wilderness in this country.
unidentified
Where were you?
joe rogan
We were in Nevada in the high country desert.
bryan callen
What is that like?
joe rogan
Five hours outside of Reno.
You go to Reno and then you go five hours into the desert.
brendan schaub
Hot as fuck?
bryan callen
You drove five hours?
brendan schaub
What the fuck are you hunting up there?
joe rogan
Mule deer.
bryan callen
And what's that topography like?
joe rogan
Oh, it's alien, man.
It's amazing.
These hills that are covered in sage and then these patches of small mahogany and like desert trees.
And there's springs.
You find springs, and the animals generally go near the springs, and the springs are really easy to find.
Because you're looking on this sort of grayish, greenish, dry landscape, and then you see these lush green patches.
And then you go to those lush green patches, and that's where there's springs, and that's where a lot of animals tend to congregate.
It's fucking amazing.
bryan callen
Are you allowed to use a drone to hunt?
joe rogan
No.
In most states, they're starting to stop that.
But in some states, yes.
Some states, it's illegal.
And most of what they're doing is they're using them to spot.
It's super controversial what you're allowed to do and what you're not allowed to do.
With technology?
Yeah.
In Nevada, where we were, you're allowed to use walkie-talkies.
So you could tell me where a deer is, and it's totally illegal.
But if we were in Montana, that would be illegal.
brendan schaub
How the fuck are they going to tell?
joe rogan
Well, you don't just don't...
If you have rules, you really should follow them.
Because the rules that are in place...
It's so fucking hard, if you are bow and arrow hunting, to close in on a mule deer.
It's so hard that they're like, yeah, go ahead, use a walkie-talkie.
Yeah.
But Montana's like, yeah, but what if a guy has a rifle?
We have to kind of have universal rules across the bat.
And if you have a rifle in Montana, you're dealing with much more wooded area.
You could kind of pinpoint where the animal is maybe a little bit better.
Maybe it's a little too much.
And Montana's like a real traditional state.
Like, they don't even allow lighted arrow knocks.
You can't have a light on your arrow sight, on your bow sight.
You can't have a light.
unidentified
Makes sense.
eddie bravo
Why the walkie-talkie law?
joe rogan
Because they don't want you to be able to have a bunch of friends.
Here's a perfect example.
One state, Arizona is famous for allowing the use of walkie-talkies and allowing the use of electronics.
And there's certain tags that are really hard to draw.
There's a unit called 13B. And it's called the Strip.
It's a strip between Utah and Arizona.
And it's so coveted and so cherished because the animals are enormous.
And it's really well-matched.
Pull up...
Arizona Strip, Mule, Deer, Buck.
These things look like elk.
Some of them are like 270 inches.
Enormous fucking when they measure each time.
bryan callen
You know what else is huge?
Columbus, Ohio.
Ohio has giant whitetails.
joe rogan
Okay, a lot of the Midwest does.
But my point is, this one area, because it's so difficult to get a tag there, A guy will pull up one of these animals.
This is a deer, by the way.
This isn't an elk.
These are enormous deer.
bryan callen
Holy shit.
joe rogan
So this is a once-in-a-lifetime tag.
To be able to hunt one of these animals is literally once-in-a-lifetime.
brendan schaub
Why is it so tough to hunt them?
joe rogan
Because they make sure that very few people can hunt them so they can keep the populations very strong and high.
Because the genetics are so powerful.
So when a guy gets a tag for a deer like this...
If you get a 13B tag for Arizona, you want to get a deer like this.
So these people literally will bring 20 of their friends.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime thing.
So your buddies come and help out, and they all get around on these different points, and they glass, meaning they set up tripods, they put on binoculars and spotting scopes, and they locate the animal, and then everyone's coordinating.
So you've got to go 100 yards down, go down there, he's at the bottom of the canyon, and then the other guy's at the other end, and he's like, we've got an eye on him out here, he's not coming this way.
brendan schaub
That's not hunting, is it?
bryan callen
It is, though.
joe rogan
It's still difficult.
Because, first of all, it's impossible to get a tag.
But for these people, it's so important that they capitalize on this one opportunity they're ever going to have in their life to hunt in this area.
bryan callen
Look at that deer.
joe rogan
It's very controversial.
brendan schaub
That wouldn't be hunting.
joe rogan
Some people say, oh, you should be able to have one guy who's communicating with you.
And some people say, you shouldn't ever be able to communicate.
bryan callen
It's always going to be a debate.
joe rogan
But with these guys, the way it's set up, you can have a bunch of people.
unidentified
So...
bryan callen
I can tell you that even if you have a lot of people, I'm sure a lot of people leave that hunting ground empty-handed.
joe rogan
Of course.
The rate of success is super low.
bryan callen
Dude, that's an elk.
Look at that rack.
brendan schaub
You know they're using drones to keep the rhinos safe in Africa now.
joe rogan
To farm?
brendan schaub
Yeah, to make sure the poachers, and to find poachers now, the drones are a beast down there.
It's helping with that.
joe rogan
We're going to have to have some drone rules over the next few years because they're going to get bigger and better and quicker and easier.
bryan callen
And smaller and more stealthy.
joe rogan
Yeah, they're going to look like bugs.
bryan callen
Yep.
joe rogan
You're going to be able to spy on your ex-girlfriend by floating one right in her house when she opens her door.
bryan callen
Can't wait.
joe rogan
She's not even going to know.
brendan schaub
Just kill everything.
joe rogan
She's not even going to know.
They might have silent, solar-powered, Tesla-made drones.
bryan callen
Alright, kids.
joe rogan
That's it.
You leave it on that?
bryan callen
I guess so.
You just reminded me I'm a Tesla.
I've got to get home, but I love all three of you.
Come see me in New York, everybody.
joe rogan
