brendan schaub
Oh, fuck.
joe rogan
Three.
Two.
Uno.
unidentified
Yee-haw!
joe rogan
Live, ladies and gentlemen.
Eddie Bravo, Joey Motherfucker Diaz, and Brandon Schaub.
brendan schaub
I love you guys.
joe rogan
Love you guys, too.
joey diaz
Happy New Year.
joe rogan
Happy New Year, motherfuckers.
Happy New Year.
Everybody who came to the show last night, thanks for coming out.
Sorry we couldn't stick around.
I've had a stomach bug since Thursday.
I was severely worried that I was going to shit myself during the show.
I was worried I was going to shit myself during the UFC. During the UFC, I didn't eat all day, and then right before it, I'm like, God damn it, I gotta eat something.
Yeah, my stomach's been fucked.
My kids had some sort of a bug, some sort of a flu.
The whole house had it.
My wife had it, my daughters had it, and I didn't get it until I got to Vegas.
And on Vegas, I worked out with Della Grate Thursday, and I was burping and farting.
I was like, what is going on?
And then the middle of the night, I woke up, I was like, oh, this ain't good.
This is not good.
And then the next day, I couldn't eat anything.
Couldn't hold anything down.
And right before the UFC, I said, oh, I gotta eat something.
So I had some quesadillas.
I just took a chance.
And I was like, I might very well have to sprint to the shitter.
So I got through that.
Yeah.
That was during the UFC? Yeah, I was severely worried I was gonna have to shit myself.
But I pulled it out and then wrecked a bathroom afterwards.
Destroy!
That kind where you smell it coming out of your body and you're like, what in the fuck is in there?
And then the same thing yesterday.
I couldn't eat all day before the show.
Couldn't eat a goddamn thing.
And then right before we were in the dressing room, I go, I gotta eat something.
I'm tired.
I feel kind of weak.
So I had some cheese and some meat.
So that's why I didn't stick around after the show, ladies and gentlemen.
But if you came, we had a good goddamn time.
brendan schaub
I figured you got sick because you made like a bear meat fucking omelet or some shit.
Fed it to your family.
joe rogan
If I got sick from that, no, everybody got sick from school.
Little kids, man, they just get sick.
There's a bunch of them together, and they just somehow or another...
You ever think about that?
Like, who's the first person who got VD? There had to be one dirty motherfucker that was number...
There has to be a patient zero.
brendan schaub
Snotty-nosed kid.
joe rogan
There's one person, like VD, right?
Like, that had to come from an individual first, right?
I mean, every cold has to come from somewhere.
Apparently a lot of the colds we get come from agriculture.
That's why it's all like swine flu and shit like that.
brendan schaub
I thought the white man brought it here to the Indians.
We're like, hey, how you doing?
And then they're just sick as fuck and die.
joe rogan
Dude, we went over that the other day in a podcast.
90% of all Native Americans were wiped out by diseases that they didn't have an immune system for when the Europeans came in the 1500s.
eddie bravo
Fucking white people.
Wait.
Did more of them get actually killed in battles?
joe rogan
No.
More of them died by disease, believe it or not.
Fucking 90% of the population.
It's really crazy.
eddie bravo
Where'd you get that from?
The library?
joe rogan
We're not doing that today, Eddie Bravo.
We're not doing that.
We're not doing that today.
joey diaz
One figure.
eddie bravo
Library.com, yo!
joe rogan
So, UFC 207. That was one of the craziest events of all time.
And watching that main event, it was like...
It was surreal.
unidentified
First of all, it was surreal because my body was all weirded out because I was a little out of it.
joe rogan
About to pass out.
About to shit all over my chair.
But it was also just bizarre.
That was the least competitive...
Like, main event, other than Aldo and McGregor, but that was one dynamic shot to the chin that knocked him out.
Like, everything about that was off.
brendan schaub
Can you think about another main event championship level where it was that kind of big of a discrepancy?
You know what I'm saying?
Like, it wasn't even a fight.
And I think leading up to it, there was some...
Kind of red flags that you saw leading up to it, if you think back now.
eddie bravo
She was in great shape, though, everybody said, right?
joe rogan
Physically.
brendan schaub
Physically, though.
joe rogan
Physically.
She looked great.
But, like, what kind of sparring was she doing?
You know, one of the things I was thinking when she was hitting pads, she was standing there hitting pads with Edmund, I was like, they're standing right in front of each other.
Like, she's not moving.
Like, she's just hitting pads.
brendan schaub
Pads are tough to tell, though, right?
Because sometimes they're doing it for the camera.
If the countdown crew is there, you don't want to show your new shit.
But also, what did people think was going to happen?
Like, did you think this whole time when she was shooting these movies, doing something, had me and her come up with a plan for her to stick on the outside, jab and move?
That's not in her DNA. That's not even good enough, anyway.
joe rogan
She had to close the distance and clinch.
That should have been the only plan.
The idea of standing with Amanda Nunes is just ridiculous.
The difference in punching power is like literally double.
brendan schaub
But we've seen her fight big punchers before.
joe rogan
Who?
brendan schaub
Betch could hit pretty hard.
I'm not saying similar, but I'm saying what Betch did, she was a beast.
joe rogan
Betch has decent power and she's very aggressive.
She throws volume strikes, but she throws their arms.
She doesn't hit nearly as hard as Amanda.
Amanda torques her whole body in this shit.
brendan schaub
I agree, Joe.
unidentified
And Betch's arms are this long.
joe rogan
Amanda's got some goddamn telephone poles.
brendan schaub
And that's all fine, but don't you think the game plan should have been get her to the ground.
And she tried that.
A little bit.
eddie bravo
She was already lit up.
brendan schaub
She wasn't there though mentally.
That's why I'm saying there's things leading up to it.
And I think the biggest red flag for me, and you know Dana better than anyone.
He's a promoter through and through.
If not the best of all time.
I can't think of another one.
Don King, I guess.
But still.
For him to say, yeah, you can skip all the media shit and just focus on the fight.
I was like, God, that just doesn't seem right, man.
joe rogan
You know why?
She's managed by or she's handled by William Morris in her endeavor, WME. WME owns UFC now.
brendan schaub
I'm aware of that.
joe rogan
I'm sure that's what...
brendan schaub
Dana said it was his decision.
joe rogan
It was his decision.
brendan schaub
Yeah, he goes, I'm the one who let...
We agreed to this.
It was in her contract.
It's a one-time thing I'm never doing again.
I thought, God damn, that is sketchy.
joe rogan
So she must have put it in the contract.
She must have said, this is what I want to do.
I don't want to talk to any media.
I just want to go out and train.
unidentified
Maybe.
brendan schaub
That's not a red flag to you?
joe rogan
Not if Conor did it.
brendan schaub
I mean, Conor doesn't have the choice.
joe rogan
But if Conor did it, if Conor said, fuck all this fucking media.
I'm going to Dublin.
I'm going to train.
brendan schaub
He would never do that.
joe rogan
If he did, I'd have zero problem with it.
brendan schaub
Is that not a red flag, though, to anyone involved at all?
joe rogan
No.
brendan schaub
For Dana to say, all good, don't do any so.
joe rogan
But here's the thing.
She goes out, she goes out, grabs a hold of Man Nunes, flips her on her head, semi-unconscious, catches her in an armbar.
She's the new champ in 35 seconds.
You're not saying this.
brendan schaub
I disagree.
unidentified
No!
joe rogan
You wouldn't say there's a red flag if she went out and dominated and got an armbar in the first round.
You would definitely not say that skipping the media is a red flag.
You're only saying it because this is like armchair quarterbacking.
brendan schaub
It's not, though, because I said there's a red flag before this.
So if she did interviews afterwards, let's say she went out there, dominated her in a minute, submitted her, and then she did interviews afterwards, that's a little different.
You know what I'm saying?
Because she's just saying, I'm not doing any media at all.
joe rogan
Even post, you're saying?
Even post.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Well, she doesn't want to talk after that.
I mean, why would you want to talk to that?
brendan schaub
The whole sell on this was, she's serious now.
Oh my God.
She's focused, knowing her, she's serious now.
To what extent?
joe rogan
The whole thing was like this big, obvious marketing perspective, like a promotional Hollywood perspective.
Like they had the movie, which is a really good, like, yeah, you pumped up.
Like that whole thing about her coming back and they lift up the garage door and you see her working out really hard.
What they did is they created a great hype piece, you know?
brendan schaub
If you're in the Ronda Rousey business.
joe rogan
Exactly.
brendan schaub
Amanda Nunez going, what the- Exactly.
The best was their picture promoting this UFC, and there's a picture of Ronda in her fight gear, and Ronda in her street clothes goes, she's back, 207. It's like, fuck, man, what about Amanda?
When I say, in this crazy world of MMA- I saw that picture.
joe rogan
Who did that picture?
Was that an official UFC picture?
brendan schaub
That was an official UFC kind of social media post.
unidentified
Wow.
brendan schaub
It's crazy, man.
Because now what do you do?
joe rogan
It's also crazy because it's crazy for a marketing perspective.
I mean, a lot of people thought that Ronda was going to win.
A lot of people.
I was 100% who the fuck knows.
brendan schaub
Me too.
joe rogan
That's exactly how I felt.
When I was watching that fight play out, I was like, who the fuck knows?
brendan schaub
No idea.
joe rogan
I mean, you could see, look, Ronda looked like she was in amazing shape.
You think about the things that Ronda's been able to do in the past, like Sarah McMahon, you would think, well, maybe she ties her up in a clinch, blasts her with a knee to the body, flips her on her back, and armbars her.
Who the fuck knows?
If she gets you on the ground, her armbar technique is outstanding.
It's just some of the best, if not the best, I've ever seen inside the icon.
brendan schaub
Probably the best, probably the best.
joe rogan
That could have happened.
But it was so who the fuck knows.
But the moment she got hit, she's not moving her head at all.
She's standing straight up in the air.
And then I see her legs get close together.
And that's when you know someone's really hurt.
When someone gets lit up and then they start moving, but their legs are too close together, it's just not working right.
It's not like they kind of know what to do, but it's just not, they're not, they're The balance isn't good.
There's no head movement.
She was probably hurt with like the second or third punch that Amanda hit her with.
She was probably on Queer Street.
joey diaz
That's what woke her up.
She didn't know where she was until she got hit, Joe.
Look at that one.
She got hit when you go, ooh, ooh, she's hurt.
She's hurt.
Look at her face.
Her hands.
You even said it yourself.
She threw up a kick.
joe rogan
She threw some kicks to try to keep Amanda off.
I think she didn't realize.
I think when Amanda hits girls, they just go, holy shit.
brendan schaub
But what else would you expect in that?
You know what I'm saying?
You don't realize until you get hit, but you hear all the criticism now of Edmund, who's obviously a terrible coach.
But take that out of it.
If you bring a horse to water and they can't drink, there's nothing else you can do.
So if mentally she doesn't want to be in there, it doesn't matter.
joe rogan
You think she didn't want to be in there?
Why'd you say that?
brendan schaub
It didn't look like the same tenacity that we're used to seeing.
joe rogan
She looked super tenacious until she got cracked.
brendan schaub
Joe was 44 seconds.
joe rogan
Yeah, but you don't need more than that.
brendan schaub
When she ate that first jab.
joe rogan
She got hurt with a right hand, maybe 10-50.
We can watch the whole fight.
unidentified
So watch the whole fight.
joe rogan
It's 48 seconds.
joey diaz
It's on YouTube already.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's everywhere.
joey diaz
It doesn't matter.
brendan schaub
You don't think she's faced tough fighters before?
Like, what do you think it is?
joe rogan
I don't understand why you're even saying this.
You see that she got hit.
And you see she got hurt.
And you've been hit and hurt before.
You know what happens.
You just don't know what the fuck's going on.
brendan schaub
Correct.
However, I don't think that jab put her lights out.
joe rogan
Well, it wasn't just a jab, dude.
She hit her with a right hand.
brendan schaub
It was the first jab that landed.
When she went into close distance.
joe rogan
Okay, but the first jab landed, but then she got hit with many punches.
I don't understand why you're confused as to the result.
I mean, she got hit by the biggest power puncher in the 135-pound division by far.
There's not a single girl in that division that punches like Amanda does.
brendan schaub
I agree with that, but it wasn't a right hand right away.
joe rogan
Yes, it was.
It was a jab right away, but a right hand right after that.
brendan schaub
Once Rhonda tried to close distance.
joe rogan
It was 40 seconds of Amanda punching Rhonda in the face until Rhonda went out.
The idea that something's confusing, that she didn't look like she wanted to be there, she was hurt multiple times in those exchanges.
I think we're doing a lot of armchair quarterbacking, right?
Who the fuck knows what was going on in her head?
What you're speculating whether or not she wanted to be there after she got hit.
The problem is she might have been just rocked.
And there's also the reality that she was knocked out fucking cold a year ago.
And it was a bad beating and then a vicious head kick.
And there is something about those goddamn neck kicks, man.
There's something about when someone shins you in the neck like she got shinned and your whole body just goes limp, you're doing so much damage in there.
brendan schaub
But she had 411 days off.
joe rogan
That's nice.
eddie bravo
I think it was just bad strategy.
Just really simple.
The strategy was not good.
brendan schaub
What happens if Amanda's just better?
joe rogan
That's possible, too.
Look, I was the one who said, like, way early on, I think Amanda's her most dangerous challenge.
Because Amanda hit so fucking hard.
After she starched Sarah McMahon, and when she was beating up Misha, I was like, Jesus Christ!
She punches harder than anybody in that division.
She's got dangerous weapons with her hands.
But I really think there's a lot of people that get KO'd like that and they are never the same again.
brendan schaub
I agree.
joe rogan
They can't absorb a shot anymore.
And then also in your brain, according to Chuck Liddell, he was telling me about it, because Chuck was so tough that he would just fucking use his chin, sort of like Lineker does.
It's part of his defense, knowing that he can absorb shots.
And after a while, his brain was like, hey man, fuck you.
Like, his brain was just like, we're not going to do this.
And shuts off.
Yeah, just shuts off early to protect you.
brendan schaub
I also think there's a certain level where they're that great, and you look at like a Tiger Woods or Mike Tyson, when that foundation gets a little shaky, they're just never the same.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's true too.
brendan schaub
It's just never, they're like, I'm not God's gift to the UFC. Exactly.
No, the MMA gods don't give a shit.
joe rogan
Exactly.
And then, like we said, even if she was undefeated and she fought Nunes, Nunes is going to give her problems.
Because if you watch the Misha Tate fight, Misha Tate, even though she beat Misha Tate twice, Misha Tate gave her a hard time.
There's some good scrambles.
Misha Tate hit her with some punches.
If Amanda hits you with punches like that, you're fucked.
You can't make mistakes.
brendan schaub
You're in trouble.
joe rogan
In a lot of ways, she's like a female Rumble.
She might not be able to close the show with one shot like Rumble can, but if you make mistakes, you get stung so bad.
Sarah McMahon fights a perfect example.
She cracks Sarah with her right hand.
Her whole face is like, what?
Nobody hits them like that.
Nobody.
And she's long.
Amanda catches you on the end of those punches, too.
brendan schaub
She's great at distance.
I also think that the game's evolving so fast where Amanda, all she cares about is being champ.
All she does is train.
That's the only thing she gives a fuck about.
I think we saw the same thing in the Dominick Cruz Cody Garbrandt fight.
All Cody wants to do is be champ.
Dominick's doing analyst work.
He is.
So I think there's this kind of change of hands right now where you're seeing these guys who are all in.
And that's what you have to do to be in this game in this day and age.
Guys are too good.
They're too good now.
joe rogan
I think you're dead right.
I think you're dead right about that.
Here we go.
We'll watch the whole thing live now.
Give us a volume, Young Jamie.
So here it is.
brendan schaub
So that jab landed with 5 seconds.
joe rogan
Look at this.
Jab right there.
Watch this.
She stung her right there.
1-2-2 there.
1-2-2.
Yeah, see?
So she stung 10 seconds in.
We're at 4.43.
We're 15 seconds in.
And she's already right there.
She's fucked.
Right there, she's fucked.
That was a super hard right hand.
brendan schaub
Super fucked.
joe rogan
And this is bad.
brendan schaub
This is real bad.
joe rogan
It's hard to watch.
It's real hard to watch.
brendan schaub
Hard to watch.
joe rogan
Boom to the body, too.
She ripped that shot to the body.
So, like, the idea that she didn't want to be there, ten seconds into the fight, she didn't know what the fuck was going on.
Oh, that left hook in the right hand, and then that right hand behind it.
This is horrific, man.
brendan schaub
It's tough to watch.
joe rogan
Boom, boom, boom.
brendan schaub
God damn.
Good stoppage by Herb.
joe rogan
Great stoppage, but goddamn Amanda Nunes is good.
She put a finger up to her mouth, walked right up to Edmund, looked at him and went...
brendan schaub
So gangster.
joey diaz
So gangster.
eddie bravo
Rhonda's still standing.
joe rogan
She's in another dimension.
There's no doubt about she's got heart.
There's no doubt about she's tough.
And also she's got that thick old neck.
That helps.
eddie bravo
Look how long Amanda's arms are.
brendan schaub
She's great at keeping distance and not crowding herself.
joe rogan
Well, Amanda has wide shoulders, and that helps too, and then long arms as well.
And she's got awesome distance, man.
Her ability to catch you at the very end of the punches where all the power is.
Because if you're punching someone and you want to hit them here, but they just move forward a foot, you lose like 90% of your power.
eddie bravo
Do you think Amanda can fight guys at 135?
joe rogan
Well, bad guys.
Not good guys?
No, not like the super high-level guys.
She's not going to beat TJ Dillashaw.
eddie bravo
What about top 10?
joe rogan
No, it's changed now, man.
I think if you asked me that same question three or four years ago, I'd have a different answer.
But that division is so stacked now.
It's like when 135 first opened up, In the UFC, there wasn't as many guys that were that elite.
Even to watch the guys who were really good improve.
You saw the Cody fight where he was fucking fantastic against Dominic, but how goddamn good did TJ look against Lineker?
Completely nullified Lineker.
Nullified him.
Lineker, he's like one of the best examples of a guy with absolutely freakish physical attributes.
A fucking iron jaw.
Iron jaw.
I've never even seen the guy get hurt.
He gets hit by everybody.
He gets head kicked.
He gets punched.
Rob Font said he hit him with the hardest punch he ever hit anybody with in his life.
And he goes, he didn't even acknowledge that he hit him.
He just walked right forward.
He said he hit him with a body shot.
Felt like he got hit by a car.
brendan schaub
He didn't look like that.
Lineker, I don't think that same Lineker showed up on Friday night.
joe rogan
TJ nullified him.
He didn't have a chance.
brendan schaub
He did, but Lineker was very hesitant.
And I think it was because of TJ's, the way he was fighting him with the feints, the takedowns, the kicks, and throwing that head kick to the body kick.
But he was very tentative.
Super tentative.
joe rogan
He got out beat.
eddie bravo
He threw him in the truck, almost had him in a cap slicer.
joe rogan
I thought he was going to go for the twister.
I was like, oh my god, if he goes to the twister, but he went for the calf slicer, but I'm like, I looked at him like, he's not going to tap to that.
unidentified
It's just pain.
eddie bravo
He needed to stomp down.
brendan schaub
TJ looked amazing.
joe rogan
Amazing.
Yeah, and the timing and those takedowns, like lightning bolts.
Like, it looks like he's throwing a punch and he's underneath you.
brendan schaub
It was so nasty.
joe rogan
He's so fast, man.
eddie bravo
But god...
joe rogan
Damn, Cody Garbrandt.
eddie bravo
What the fuck?
joe rogan
Goddamn.
brendan schaub
And I'll admit, I said, I think Cody's going to be champ, just not yet.
He's going to be your champ, but he's not ready for Dom yet.
Then I opened him around, I was like, what the fuck?
He's mimicking him.
He's doing breakdancing.
He's doing pushups and shit.
joe rogan
He fucked with Dominic's head.
And that was one of the things that I was thinking of.
This kid's been in a lot of street fights.
I don't know if this trash talk is going to work on him the way it works on other guys.
He said he was fine in there.
I asked him about it.
He's like, I like that.
He goes, I feel calm.
He goes, I know I can stay calm when that's going on.
brendan schaub
And I think he's just like this young, hungry dude who, he took it personal.
And a lot of guys get real emotional, and I was worried that Cody would come out super emotional and just get murked, like taken down.
You know how the real emotional, like Aldo did against McGregor, who just forgets about his technique and rushes and gets murked?
But dude, he just took all that and the best performance.
I mean, can you name another performance like that where a guy...
Remember, he was even number one contender.
He was five or six in the world.
joe rogan
I think he was eight.
brendan schaub
Was he eight?
I thought he moved to six.
joe rogan
Maybe.
That might have been some shenanigans.
brendan schaub
Yeah, right?
Who knows with the Cheeto finger rankings.
But still, motherfucker went from five, six, rank number one.
And you're like, God, that's a big stretch.
joe rogan
And beat him handily.
It wasn't a close decision.
brendan schaub
Dom won one round.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Yeah.
brendan schaub
And I love Domi when one around.
joe rogan
And Cody dropped him, hurt him.
We still don't exactly know where the cut came from.
Some people are saying it came from a punch.
I heard people online say it came from a kick.
Definitely not a headbutt.
The guys in the truck said it was a headbutt.
brendan schaub
Your truck boys were off.
Because I heard when they said that, I'm like, what the fuck are they watching?
joe rogan
Yeah, they pulled it up for me.
But it's hard.
See, while the fight's going on, they'll do that and they'll tell me it's a headbutt.
And see, I have two monitors in front of me.
I have one right here and then I have one over the side.
And they'll say, like, look on monitor B. And then they'll show it to me.
But I can't really...
It's hard for me to do that while I'm watching the actual fight.
You know, so they'll show it to me.
And usually I just take their word for it.
But occasionally it gets...
unidentified
That's fair.
brendan schaub
But I think in the replay that they showed, maybe they saw it different and didn't show the correct one.
The replay that they showed, it definitely wasn't a headbutt.
joe rogan
Well, they definitely did collide heads.
brendan schaub
For sure.
joe rogan
For sure.
And so who knows?
It was hard to tell.
But who gives a fuck?
brendan schaub
Either way.
joe rogan
It was a big-ass cut.
Big-ass cut on Dom's eyebrow.
And he got drunk.
How good is Dominic Cruz took a punch, too, by the way?
brendan schaub
His chin?
joe rogan
He gets cracked.
His legs go stiff.
He goes down.
And a couple times, Cody acted almost like he wasn't going to follow him to the ground and beat on him on the ground and almost acted like he was done.
brendan schaub
He's like calling him up or like a Mark Hunt kind of walk-off KO. You better get on him, son.
joe rogan
What are you doing?
Didn't even make an attempt to get on him.
unidentified
That's weird, right?
joe rogan
Well, maybe he doesn't want to have anything to do with the ground.
Maybe he feels like that's where Dominic might have a chance.
brendan schaub
Goddamn, it's not Bouchesha down there.
Relax, son.
joe rogan
I don't know what Dominic Cruz's ground game is like.
brendan schaub
I thought he just wanted to punish him, too, maybe.
joe rogan
Does Dominic Cruz have any submissions?
unidentified
Oh, no.
eddie bravo
Dominic Cruz is really good on the ground.
unidentified
Yeah.
eddie bravo
Oh, hell yeah.
joe rogan
But I mean, on his record, does he have any submissions?
brendan schaub
Yeah, he has submissions, usually from guillotines, though.
eddie bravo
Back in the day, WC. His jiu-jitsu's really good, trust me.
brendan schaub
No, no.
You trained with him?
He's a black belt for sure.
eddie bravo
I've seen him compete.
joe rogan
In jiu-jitsu tournaments?
eddie bravo
Yeah.
And he wrestled as well.
He's a wrestler.
brendan schaub
But for a guy not to go down in his guard, that's some shit.
That's like some Conor McGregor-Dia shit where you're like, I can lose too easily down there.
joe rogan
Well, I mean, it might not have been that at all.
It might have been even more simple.
That's a lost, Jamie.
Oh.
brendan schaub
Rear naked.
joe rogan
Yeah, so he's got a rear naked there.
He's got one rear naked.
brendan schaub
He's not known for his guard, though, Joe.
You're right.
joe rogan
Well, who knows?
You still don't know what he could do, but the bottom line was Cody wanted to keep the fight standing.
brendan schaub
I think he just wanted to punish him.
joe rogan
He might have thought it was over.
He might have thought the fight was over.
brendan schaub
He seemed to, the answer for Dominic, I mean at least it worked for Cody, was it or was it not, I'm no striker, that he made Dominic come to him, and it's different when...
Correct.
eddie bravo
Is that what it was?
joe rogan
Well, sort of, but it's also you've got to give credit to his team.
See, Justin Buchholz and those guys have been imitating, they've fought Dom so many times.
brendan schaub
Six times?
joe rogan
They can imitate his movements.
So they can mimic his shit.
So when they're sparring, they do that fake, that false start.
Because Dom does this thing where he false starts, and then he starts.
And you never know which one's going to be a kick.
It's a lot of patterns that Dom throws up.
So they figured out how to do that, and they mimicked it.
And they watched him so many times that they can get it down to a tee.
brendan schaub
And Cody didn't buy into the feints.
He was like, come on, come in within this range.
And he kept baiting them and baiting them and they'd make it count.
joe rogan
Yeah, the bottom line is if his brain's not confused and he just knows that in these exchanges Dom's going to be there and he's going to do some, you know, he's got some really unpredictable movement, Dom does, but he does like a bunch of things a lot.
brendan schaub
And then commits.
joe rogan
Yeah, and so he timed those things and caught them with some fucking vicious punches, man.
brendan schaub
Yeah, Dom fights a lot of guys and they're like, what the fuck?
It's like that Chris Tucker movie where you get in the face like, alright, which one of y'all kicked me?
And you don't know where it's coming from, but Garbrandt just never bought it.
He was like, I'm just going to wait for you to commit.
You can do all that jazz and I'm just going to wait right here.
joe rogan
It's also a guy's been boxing when he was real young.
joey diaz
That's what we were talking about last night.
He was 32-2 amateur record.
You look at that, you're like, ah.
But in the UFC, compared to other fighters, that boxing comes in handy.
joe rogan
Huge.
joey diaz
He was catching...
Cody was catching Dominic Cruz on the way out.
joe rogan
Mm-hmm.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
joey diaz
Which that's...
A lot of people don't catch him on the way out.
brendan schaub
Never see it.
joey diaz
No.
He was catching him on the way out.
brendan schaub
Bop!
joe rogan
And the speed and precision of those punches.
brendan schaub
And the power.
joe rogan
Glorious.
brendan schaub
For five rounds.
And then people forget Cody in high school.
I think he was first team All-State out of Ohio, which is a big deal out there.
He had scholarships compete in Division I wrestling.
He was like, nah, I'm just going to fight professionally full-time.
That's what kind of stud you're dealing with.
And his uncle was an alternate for the Olympic boxing team.
So, I mean, he comes from a long line of just savages, too.
joe rogan
Pretty crazy.
Yeah, his countdown piece was pretty amazing.
brendan schaub
I didn't see it.
joey diaz
I wish that fighters appreciate the science of boxing more.
When GSP, one of those fights he trained with Freddie Roach, and he came back with that fucking jab, it made waves, but a lot of people didn't copy that.
brendan schaub
Arlovsky did first and was like, nah, let's just go boosh!
You know, he's like, holy shit.
Amanda Nunes did.
eddie bravo
Amanda Nunes, boxing trainer, is Howard Davis' son in American Top Team, so she's...
joey diaz
I don't know why people don't incorporate that that much more.
joe rogan
Like, that's just so much to learn.
joey diaz
You said there's three levels of striking, pretty much.
In the UFC, you know, we had a discussion last night when the jiu-jitsu guy, 170, came in.
You know, he came in.
He was a great jiu-jitsu guy.
He won a, what's his name?
The guy that triangled Chael from the top?
brendan schaub
Damien Maia.
joey diaz
Damien Maia.
That guy came in.
He won the first couple matches jiu-jitsu.
Then somebody told him he was a boxer.
And he started getting lit up.
And now he's fucking back to just, hit me once, I'm gonna grab your leg and it's over.
unidentified
That could be Rhonda.
eddie bravo
That could be Rhonda.
If Rhonda just said, okay, I'm gonna take a gear off, I'm gonna go to the Olympic wrestling facility, Wherever.
Just focus on wrestling.
Still work on your striking goal with Dwayne Ludwig.
That would be awesome.
Or Rafael Cordero.
Mix it up.
You know what I mean?
brendan schaub
You've got to change shit up now, obviously.
eddie bravo
But wrestling should be the focus.
When you see a Ronda Rousey promo, you shouldn't see her hitting mitts.
You should see her shooting, getting the clinch, double leg takedowns, singles.
It should be wrestling every day, twice a day.
brendan schaub
But think about her camp.
Her whole camp, it's just a boxing gym.
Her head coach is a boxing coach, so they want her to be this boxer.
People sold her as the next Mike Tyson.
So you have all that coming.
And she was Merkin Girls, remember?
I was on board too.
I'm like, damn, we're striking.
She's knocking bitches out.
joe rogan
It's the level.
It's like, what's the level she's knocking them out at?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
But I think the media and a lot of people are like, dang, she's a knockout artist.
So you hear those.
And her camp's going, you're a knockout artist.
She can strike with anyone.
joe rogan
Right.
And her coach, like, look, that was always the case.
You remember when Gerald fought in the UFC? It was always the case when Gerald was a...
Was he a black belt back then or a brown belt?
eddie bravo
No, he was a brown belt.
joe rogan
Really good jiu-jitsu guy, though.
But his fucking striking coach had him convinced that he was a Thai boxer.
He's like, you're going to go out there and get a kick.
And I remember Eddie and I would watch him hit the bag and hit the mitts and stuff.
And I was like, man, there are some scary guys in the UFC. And he got a real scary one in Josh Thompson.
Josh Thompson was like, yep, none of that.
eddie bravo
Crack!
No, no, it didn't go down like that.
brendan schaub
What ended up happening is Gerald's jiu-jitsu is Gerald Streben, as we're talking about.
eddie bravo
He was my first student.
Before 10th Planet, I was teaching jiu-jitsu to a guy named Gerald Streben.
He was a blue belt at the time.
And I brought him up, showed him up.
He got really good at the Twister, really good at rubber guard.
First meat hook rubber guard triangle in MMA history in a Gladiator Challenge show.
He was kicking ass and then he fought Jean Silva in England, in London, and it was a spectacular match.
Joe showed that fight to Dana White.
Dana White gave a shot, gave Josh Thompson, boom, right off the bat.
He started working Muay Thai with this Muay Thai coach, and it was six months.
He was training six months with them, right?
And he wrestled in high school as well, so he'd been grappling total at that point.
joe rogan
Is that Joey?
What are you breathing into the mic?
unidentified
I'm hearing some For sure, Joe Are you kidding me?
I was confusing my head It sounded like a submarine I hear it too Submarine, right?
eddie bravo
But anyways And it's an interesting point I was just thinking about this.
It's the exact same thing.
It's when I'm when a striking like let's say I got A striker.
Muay Thai came in.
brendan schaub
He'd been doing Muay Thai for 10 years and he wanted to learn the ground.
eddie bravo
And he was doing MMA. He's already fighting MMA. Comes up a lot.
I'm gonna show him Jiu Jitsu.
I'm gonna be in his corner.
I'm not gonna be telling him to take his ass down and work your fucking Jiu Jitsu.
Pull a guard!
unidentified
It's been six months, let's relax.
eddie bravo
What I want to see is that dude win with his Muay Thai and it gives me another fight to get his jiu-jitsu again.
The longer we avoid the jiu-jitsu, in my eyes, the better.
We got away with another one.
Now we have another four or five months to work on the jiu-jitsu.
joe rogan
That's a good way of looking at it.
eddie bravo
But there's a lot of striking coaches out there that'll take some grappler in, teach him striking for six months, and then corner him in an MMA fight and instruct him to stand with this motherfucker.
joe rogan
Do you remember what he said?
eddie bravo
And I gotta pull the guy to the side and say, dude, don't listen to this guy.
You're not standing with this motherfucker.
joe rogan
Do you remember what he said?
eddie bravo
You know how many times I had to say that to my guys?
I go, don't listen to this motherfucker.
unidentified
Always.
You're taking this I remember what he said.
joe rogan
Do you remember what he said to him?
eddie bravo
He's Bangkok ready.
joe rogan
Yes.
eddie bravo
In six months, he said it was Bangkok ready.
He's going to go out there.
brendan schaub
What?
eddie bravo
This is what ends up happening.
But you know what?
It was a good thing.
It's a good thing because this is what happened.
He had him so believing that he was Bangkok ready after six months of Muay Thai that when he did the walkout on the UFC, he came out...
Dude, with the Muay Thai thing?
Yes!
Dude, with the Muay Thai headband.
I love it.
A bicep bracelet or whatever the fuck they are.
brendan schaub
Oh yeah, traditional shit.
eddie bravo
Dude, full Muay Thai garb dancing and doing the Muay Thai thing.
He was in the octagon and did, you know, he went around the octagon and blessed like each.
unidentified
Doing this?
eddie bravo
Yes, doing that.
brendan schaub
Doing this?
eddie bravo
And Josh Thompson's sitting there, and I talked to Josh Thompson since then.
Josh Thompson wrestled in high school, and he's a really good striker.
He was fucking up people off his back.
He was triangling people.
We knew all about Josh Thompson.
Gerald was not, you know, he was not in the best frame of mind for that fight.
You know what I mean?
Because Josh Thompson was a fucking killer back then.
He was a killer.
joe rogan
Well, he was in his prime back then.
That was Josh when he was one of the top...
Like five or six guys in the division before the UFC. Before the UFC got rid of the 155-pound division, it was him and Eve Edwards.
And Eve Edwards knocked him out.
That was like Eve Edwards became the uncrowned king.
eddie bravo
So this is what happened.
So luckily, and this is according to Josh Thompson.
Josh goes, dude, I was so worried about his standup.
Based on that Muay Thai ritual stuff, that when we saw the fight, my whole thing was how are we possibly...
No, no.
The whole thing was for sure Josh Thompson's not gonna want to go to the ground with Gerald.
That's where all his good shit is.
He's fucking people up in MMA. All his fights up until the UFC was fucking people up with his jiu-jitsu.
So how are we gonna get the fight to the ground?
We were thinking about pulling an elaborate, unorthodox guard pull.
How are we gonna do it?
That's what I was thinking.
I go, because six months, I go, I know he thinks he's Bangkok ready.
That's six months, man.
You know what I mean?
brendan schaub
It's a great t-shirt.
eddie bravo
So Josh takes him down, and I'm sitting there thinking, what the fuck?
Thank you.
He takes Gerald down because he's so worried about his Muay Thai.
And Gerald...
Dude, right away throws up a hellfire with his guard.
He threw a lot of heat.
It was pretty badass to see.
But at the end of the day, first, he almost had him in an armbar.
Josh pulls out.
And then there's like a scramble on the ground.
Gerald goes for a leg lock because he finally pulls out of his guard.
And then Gerald was really good at leg locks.
And he went for a leg lock.
And then Josh Thompson hit him like in the back of the head and knocked him out.
brendan schaub
Josh is a killer.
eddie bravo
Yeah, that was one of those going for leg locks is risky.
joe rogan
What started this all off?
Those coaches that get these fucking people convinced that they're a killer in one particular area.
brendan schaub
You see it in every camp, though, because in every camp, especially if you have a superstar camp, This is coming from my own personal experience.
You have a superstar wrestling coach, boxing coach, jiu-jitsu coach.
You're spending your time with them.
They want to see you win with their shit.
With their shit.
And it's nice.
You see the way...
Tossed them off.
eddie bravo
The W should be number fucking one.
It's nice when they win with some shit, of course.
Like, fuck that.
Like, you showed me that shit.
That's always good.
But it's all about the goddamn W. That's number fucking one.
joe rogan
That's why you gotta have, like, a head coach.
You gotta have a head coach that's not a striking coach, not a jiu-jitsu.
Like a head coach.
Like a Matt Hume.
That's a head coach.
You know, like when he works with DJ, they do everything.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, they work on submissions together, spar together.
They work on all these different techniques.
And it's total technique and tactics oriented conversations and training sessions.
brendan schaub
How many Matt Humes are there though in the world?
joe rogan
There's like five.
If that.
But only one.
If that.
Honestly, it's like in my mind, it's like he, if he's not number one, it's him and Faraz Ahabi.
brendan schaub
I count two that can do it all.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
That really know the game in and out, can do a game plan from standing to wrestling to grappling.
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, I think one guy might be better for you, one guy might be better for the other, but those are the top dogs.
brendan schaub
There's two.
joe rogan
Because there's such wizards on the ground, and they can physically do it too.
That's like a big part of it.
brendan schaub
And plus they know the transition.
Sometimes if you go to a pure jiu-jitsu guy, you're like, dude, this isn't going to work.
If I commit both hands to this, I'm going to get blasts in the face.
joe rogan
Do you remember when George Grigel, he was a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu back when there was very few black belts, but then he wanted to stand and bang with everybody.
brendan schaub
And that was his thing.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Became his thing.
Standing and banging.
And that happens so often.
It's so crazy.
And it's so rare that a guy comes back and figures it out like Damien Maia house.
Damien Maia tried it that way for a while.
unidentified
Yep.
joe rogan
Got sucked into it.
And then he figured it out.
joey diaz
And that's exactly what Rhonda should do.
What's that expression?
You go to the dance, what took you to there?
What's that expression?
I don't fucking know.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
I know what you're trying to say.
joey diaz
And what happens is, a lot of early, I saw a lot of high-level jiu-jitsu guys come into the UFC that their hands are men's amends.
It's like a three striking, and they never evolved to that.
Now, the fucking striking is evolving quick.
brendan schaub
Look at Jacare.
joey diaz
Quick, Jacare.
eddie bravo
It used to be that the only black belts that got to the UFC were guys that only dedicated their lives to Jiu Jitsu.
They just started learning striking.
You could tell.
Holy shit.
They're just trying to fucking get some kind of clinch.
It's obvious.
But now, there's so many goddamn black belts in Brazil now that it's all about, you know, here's 100 black belts in the camp.
We're only going to take the best strikers, like the fierce ones.
brendan schaub
You know, the days of pure jiu-jitsu guys coming out and looking like this, they're long gone now.
eddie bravo
You can't get through the minor leagues with striking like that.
joey diaz
Well, in a way, your attitude is like, I got this.
My first three years in comedy, I didn't write shit.
I would just go up on stage and do that New York shit.
What do you do for a living?
Yeah, it was 50-50.
What do you do for a living?
You do this.
I got really good at it, but I couldn't make a living doing that.
If I'm bombing, I could fall back to that shit and rock the house.
I don't work that muscle anymore.
Do you know what I'm saying?
When I first started comedy, I had to go on stage every Tuesday in front of the same fucking people.
So you had to write a new five minutes.
For two years, I did that.
There was some weeks I couldn't do it.
So I just decided just to improvise.
I got so good at improvising.
By the time I got to Seattle and started featuring, I was a really good improviser.
joe rogan
So what are you saying about how does this equate to fighting?
joey diaz
I don't improvise no more because I got it!
When you first met me at the store 15 years ago, I would go on stage and do seven minutes of material, and the rest was improvising.
I thought it was cool.
It was chic, and when it works, it works.
joe rogan
But when it doesn't work, it's a nightmare.
joey diaz
But I'm pretty good at it.
I can really improvise pretty good.
Do I still do it today?
No.
Because you have to evolve.
I can fall back on it, dog.
I can fall back on my wrestling.
That's my wrestling.
That's my pedigree.
When I call you and I make you laugh on the phone, it's like that.
I didn't call you with a script.
When I call you, me and you are talking about something.
That's not a script.
That's me and you driving, getting excited.
I got that pedigree.
I could rock that pedigree, but that pedigree isn't going to take me to the next level.
You have to sit, and you have to write, and you have to evolve different things.
So I think that when I'm a wrestler, okay, I'm a black belt in jiu-jitsu.
I've been doing this since I was 18. I'm fucking 31 now.
I've won Abu Dhabi, Dubu Dhabi, Nogi Pan-Americans.
I got this.
I got this, Joe!
joe rogan
Yeah, I think there's two different styles of winners.
There's the all-around guy like DJ, and then there's a guy like Anderson Silva that really...
I mean, he might submit people, but it's so rare.
And when he submitted Chael Sonnen, it's almost like Chael Sonnen gave it to him.
I mean, that fucking armbar triangle combination wasn't even locked in.
It wasn't even locked in.
I mean, it was kind of over the calf a little.
It wasn't clamped down.
I mean, maybe Chael was so exhausted that he had a tap, but...
Honestly, if you ask him, he was pretty honest about having mental breakdowns in fights.
He did it with Paulo Filho.
Remember the same thing?
brendan schaub
Chael said in the Anderson Silva fight, though, he said going in, he goes, I know I'm going to get submitted.
I'm going to get submitted.
So when he was taken down, he's in his guard for like three minutes.
He's going, it's just a matter of time.
He's going to catch me.
He's going to catch me.
unidentified
Against two?
brendan schaub
Against Anderson Silva.
joe rogan
Well, he had been submitted a few times in fights that he was winning.
The whole thing is weird.
But my point is, Anderson's never been a great jiu-jitsu guy.
He's a good black belt.
eddie bravo
He tapped out Dan Henderson.
Remember that?
joe rogan
He beat the fuck out of him before he tapped him.
eddie bravo
But he rocked him.
joe rogan
It was a beautiful technique.
That is true.
He did get his back and choke him out.
eddie bravo
And you know what?
I disagree with you on that triangle.
That triangle was legit as hell.
joe rogan
Let's look at it.
Chael Sonnen versus Anderson Silva Triangle.
If I remember it correctly, it wasn't fully locked in.
There was a little bit of space.
eddie bravo
It doesn't have to be fully locked in.
It all depends on how much you're squeezing and leg curling.
joe rogan
It's true.
eddie bravo
And he has long legs, so dudes with long legs leave openings.
joe rogan
To Joe's point, though, he was exhausted.
But my point is, Anderson Silva's a goddamn specialist.
His specialty is Muay Thai.
His specialty is striking.
When you look at Anderson Silva's highlight reels, it's that front kick to the face on Vitor.
It's that fucking knee to the body on Stefan Bonner.
brendan schaub
That's his gift.
joe rogan
So here it is.
brendan schaub
Jale's beating the brakes off him at this point.
joe rogan
Yeah, this is...
Jale had a beautiful double, didn't he?
Yeah, he really did.
unidentified
Jesus Christ.
joe rogan
He drove in so hard on that double.
He takes him down.
brendan schaub
Shit, he fights in a couple weeks.
joe rogan
This is the fourth round.
Let's go to the end of the fight.
Okay, let's see this.
brendan schaub
This is where Chael stands up and sits back.
eddie bravo
That's tight as fuck, dude.
joe rogan
Let me see.
eddie bravo
That's tight as fuck.
Oh, that's tight as fuck.
joe rogan
That's a lot tighter than I thought.
eddie bravo
Well, when he finally got the arm bar, he opened up the leg.
Yeah, that's what it is.
It looked like he was about to swing the leg over the head.
joe rogan
I haven't seen that in a while.
Go back to that again.
eddie bravo
But right there, it's tight as fuck.
joe rogan
That's pretty goddamn tight.
eddie bravo
Look, right there.
joe rogan
That's tight.
I take it back, Chael.
eddie bravo
Right when he gets the arm, that's when he opens it up.
Now it's a different thing.
Now it's an arm bar.
joe rogan
Yeah, there he opens it up.
Yep, that's right.
So, my point being, like, the best guys at one particular thing are pretty rare.
Like, the guys like an Anderson that is just so elite at striking that nobody wants to strike with him.
Or a guy like Damian Maia, so elite at jiu-jitsu that he makes guys like Carlos Condit look like they have no idea what they're doing.
He gets you on the ground and he makes you look like a white belt.
So there's that kind of guy that can do that.
Or there's a guy like Mighty Mouse that...
Mighty Mouse...
Although he's got really good submissions, you're not going to see that style.
He's not going to be able to submit the best jiu-jitsu guys in the world at 125 pounds, most likely, in a jiu-jitsu match.
Damian Maia probably could.
Damian Maia has the potential to beat pretty much anybody he rolls with on the mat in an actual straight-up jiu-jitsu match.
So you have two different styles.
You have that style of winner, which he's never won the title, and there's only a few guys like Anderson that have.
And Anderson...
In all due fairness, he won it, like what, in 2005?
Was that when Anderson became the champ?
Somewhere around there in the UFC? That might as well be 30 years ago.
It's a totally different class of fighter.
brendan schaub
The evolution of the game is so fast now.
Four years ago, we were in leather helmets.
joe rogan
Like I would love to watch Tyron Woodley versus Damian Maia.
Love it.
I would love to watch it.
That to me is maybe one of the most interesting fights on the horizon for me.
eddie bravo
So far Damian Maia has been able to take down wrestlers at 170. He's been able to take them all down.
joe rogan
Yeah.
eddie bravo
Like easy and just with beautiful technique.
But can he do that to Woodley?
joe rogan
I don't know.
You got to go through the storm.
eddie bravo
Yeah.
joe rogan
The storm of fucking meteors coming your way that Woodley drops on you.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Because he's the most dangerous in that first round when you're trying to take him down, you're closing the distance on him, and you haven't figured out how fast he is yet.
He doesn't just hit hard.
He's fucking fast.
brendan schaub
I saw some rumor, I'm sure, but Bisping was talking about it.
Him and Woodley agreeing to a super fight at 180. Really?
Bisping and Woodley.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
When did they agree to this?
brendan schaub
I was talking to my brother this morning.
He was like, you see Woodley and Bisping?
Want to do that catchweight at 180?
I'm like, what?
joe rogan
That's an interesting fight.
First of all, can Bisping make that healthy?
unidentified
That's what I was thinking, because I feel like 85 is a tough cut for him.
joe rogan
Remember when he used to fight 205?
brendan schaub
Oh yeah.
joe rogan
He won the Ultimate Fighter at 205. Wow, that's an interesting fight.
Well, I think what Woodley wants is that big payday.
brendan schaub
How could you not?
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, he's campaigning for it.
Look at this.
Mike Bisbee and Tylan Woodley agree to catch a weight bout.
This is legit?
So this just happened today?
eddie bravo
That's on the internet.
joe rogan
What is the name of the lowkickmma.com?
Interesting.
brendan schaub
That's Bisbee's Instagram?
joe rogan
Very interesting.
Very interesting.
brendan schaub
Gangster weight, as Chael Sonnen calls it.
joe rogan
Yeah, I like it.
I like it.
brendan schaub
But to your point, Woodley just wants a big fight for a lucrative payday.
He wants the biggest name possible to get paid.
joe rogan
Yeah, smart.
brendan schaub
That's the name of the game.
joe rogan
Yeah, and Anderson has still been calling for a rematch with Bisping too, because his fight with Bisping was so fucking close in England, he feels like he beat him.
That was one of the craziest situations ever.
brendan schaub
That was so weird.
joe rogan
He hits him with that flying knee, KOs him.
I mean, Bisping was out.
He went out.
He dropped.
And Anderson does a walk-off KO, and they go, eh, not so quick.
brendan schaub
It was so weird.
It was so weird.
joe rogan
Watch that.
Get a video of that.
brendan schaub
Because remember, Bisping takes a break because his mouthpiece falls out, and he's talking to the ref, and Anderson goes, yeah!
joe rogan
Oh, that's right.
Remember?
He was trying to get the referee's attention, and Anderson flying-kneed him in the face.
brendan schaub
And wasn't the ref, like, coming in to stop it?
Then Anderson did that flying-kneed?
That's why the ref was like, hold up.
No, that doesn't count.
joe rogan
Yeah, let's look at that.
unidentified
I'm trying to remember.
joe rogan
It was a very weird scenario.
brendan schaub
Bisping boxed his fucking face off, though.
joe rogan
Yeah, like he's saying something.
It's Herb Dean.
brendan schaub
Look, he's like, right there, right there.
Boom!
joe rogan
Oh, Jesus.
brendan schaub
That was also the end of the round, too, right?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Jesus.
Look at this again.
brendan schaub
He's like, hey, let me get my mouthpiece.
joe rogan
Oh, boy.
eddie bravo
Shit.
joe rogan
Oh, boy.
eddie bravo
Damn.
joe rogan
Look at this.
unidentified
Boom!
joe rogan
That is such a crazy drop, too, the way he get hit.
eddie bravo
You know what?
I think he would have thrown the knee regardless, whether he looked to the side or not.
I think he would have thrown it regardless.
brendan schaub
And it wasn't like Bisping put his hands down.
eddie bravo
He looked over, but he was still covered up.
brendan schaub
Here's the crazy thing.
joe rogan
I don't know about that.
I think he was a little distracted there, for sure.
brendan schaub
Here's the crazy thing.
Bisping comes back and wins that fucking fight and boxes his face off.
joe rogan
How's he win that next round?
brendan schaub
I think that was the third round, right?
He comes out that fourth round and boxes his face off.
joe rogan
Crazy.
brendan schaub
Like a fucking kangaroo.
joe rogan
Crazy recovery.
Crazy.
brendan schaub
His cardio is insane.
joe rogan
Yeah, because most people get hit like that, that's it, man.
unidentified
That's game over!
joe rogan
Yeah, it's game over.
I mean, his body shut off and he dropped like gravity.
brendan schaub
Give us a second.
And we're back, Box.
eddie bravo
Is he partially blind in one eye or completely?
joe rogan
Partially, yeah.
eddie bravo
But he can still sort of see.
brendan schaub
He's crooked as fuck.
joe rogan
He can see enough where they let him fight.
unidentified
Hmm.
joe rogan
I mean, he does those eye tests.
They have to do eye tests.
Apparently what they did is they put some kind of oil in his eye, and that oil protects his retina somehow or another, and that's why it looks so crazy.
And once he's done fighting, then they'll fix it.
But the problem is, if he gets it fixed now, and then he goes and fights again and tears it even worse.
And then the other thing is, the more time he waits, the more advanced all this stem cell shit is getting.
They brought someone's vision back with stem cells.
brendan schaub
A blind guy, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, someone was blind and they injected stem cells in this guy's eye and brought his vision back.
And that's today, 2017. What's it going to be like five, six, seven years down the line?
brendan schaub
I mean, he's going to be retired by then, though.
joe rogan
I would hope he'd be retired in three or four.
I mean, I think he's 39 now, right?
How old is Michael?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
He might not be that old.
I might be upping him up a bit.
brendan schaub
Would you say 36?
He might be 36. He might be 36, 37. 37. I don't think he has three years left.
joe rogan
Well, he might.
Look, the guy's so fucking game.
You know, Michael Bisping does not have any extraordinary physical attributes.
Not that he's not a great athlete.
He certainly is.
Not that he's not a very good fighter.
He certainly is.
brendan schaub
Cardio.
joe rogan
If you look at a guy like Rumble, extraordinary physical attributes.
John Lineker, extraordinary physical attributes.
What Michael Bisping has is just toughness.
Just game as fuck, toughness.
Knock him out, he comes back, and he just keeps coming back.
brendan schaub
He has no quit.
joe rogan
He has no quit.
brendan schaub
And he has great cardio.
joe rogan
He has no quit.
brendan schaub
Amazing cardio.
joe rogan
Ryan Parson says in the gym, he said he's never seen a guy that hates getting tapped and hates losing, exchanges more than Michael Pittsburgh.
brendan schaub
I've never seen anything like it.
Even just, you know how you do your normal warm-up, like if you're doing underhooks, he's going 100% nonstop.
Like how the fuck?
Slow down, son.
joe rogan
I want him the title, man.
I want him the fucking title.
eddie bravo
And he gets better and better.
You watch him improve fight.
brendan schaub
Look at his boxing.
His boxing's ridiculous, man.
He outboxed Anderson Silva.
joe rogan
Knocked out Luke Rockhold.
Luke Rockhold looked disdainful in that fight.
Like, come on, man.
brendan schaub
He was pissed.
He had to show up for that fight.
joe rogan
Yeah, he was like disdainful that that was his challenge.
brendan schaub
And he got murked.
joe rogan
And he got murked.
brendan schaub
And Bisping was shooting XXX19 in Toronto.
I was like, huh?
Y'all be down there in four days.
Deuce, world champ!
What a great fucking story!
unidentified
It's the best story.
brendan schaub
And you've been fighting for ten years!
joe rogan
The best story.
brendan schaub
I fucking love Bisping.
joe rogan
And then beats Dan Henderson in a close decision for this fucking fight.
brendan schaub
That was a fucking fight.
You forget about that fight when we talk about fights of the year.
joe rogan
Oh yeah.
brendan schaub
That fight was so good.
joe rogan
So good.
brendan schaub
And again, his cardio.
Yeah.
He landed the H-bomb twice.
joe rogan
Yeah, landed it.
brendan schaub
That English zombie popped back up and just starts fucking boxing.
He's fucking crazy.
joey diaz
He's got nothing but heart, that dude.
joe rogan
So much heart.
joey diaz
I'm going to tell you something.
I had a funny feeling about Luke Rockhold.
How dare you?
I didn't think Luke was taking it seriously.
brendan schaub
How could you?
joey diaz
Bisping on four days?
I didn't think he was.
And I'm like, this guy's been fighting for fucking years.
All he needs is one shot.
brendan schaub
But Bisbee's not even a knockout artist.
The betting odds for him to knock Luke Rockle down the first round, I have no idea.
joe rogan
Let me tell you something.
If my daughter catches you with one of those swinging overhand punches and clips the tip of your chin, you got a problem.
brendan schaub
Hey, Brian told me he went to this new boxing gym, and the guy's like, hey, mind if this girl, he's going to kill me for telling the story, you mind if this girl jumps in there and spars some rounds?
And Brian's like, sure.
unidentified
Sure.
brendan schaub
He starts to move around.
This bitch is dead serious.
He hits him with the right hand.
Brian was like, oh, shit.
He said he's like a little wobbled.
I'm like, bro, if anyone catches you flush, man, you're going to be in for a long night.
joe rogan
Especially the point of the chin, the way Rockhold caught.
And Bisping swung it over the shoulder.
It was a beautiful left hook.
He stepped in with it and just whipped it over the top.
And it was something that him and Perillo had seen in Rockhold's game.
brendan schaub
Perillo's coach of the year.
joe rogan
Very good coach.
brendan schaub
Hands down coach of the year.
joey diaz
That used to be Tito But he's his coach.
brendan schaub
He still is.
joe rogan
He worked with BJ. He's worked with a lot of guys.
brendan schaub
BJ, Tito, Chris Cyborg, and Michael Bisbee.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's a quiet guy in terms of, like, he's not out there trying to get a lot of publicity.
He's not a tension whore.
He's just an excellent boxing coach.
Really knows his shit.
I'm impressed with that guy.
brendan schaub
As far as boxing, probably the best in the game.
joe rogan
Yeah, one of the best in the game.
And good at adapting it for MMA, too.
You know, he understands MMA. And it's like, you know, it's like there's those camps that do it.
You know when I hear something fucking crazy that Woodley told me the other day?
brendan schaub
Would love to.
joe rogan
I went to dinner with Woodley and Mighty Mouse and some dude and his wife who won the, they won some VIP thing, the UFC thing, and we met them, Del Grate and I had dinner with them.
Woodley didn't have a fucking head coach.
He coached himself up until the Calvin Gaslam fight.
The Calvin Gaslam fight was the first fight that he worked with Duke Rufus.
And he was trying to figure out if he was going to go to ATT or if he was going to work with Duke Rufus.
brendan schaub
I thought he was at ATT before all that.
joe rogan
His son.
No, he never had a head coach who'd go down there and do a camp.
brendan schaub
What the fuck was he thinking?
joe rogan
Just talented.
Talented and just figuring it out on his own.
His son told him to go to Chicago.
How old's his son?
Milwaukee, rather.
brendan schaub
How old's his son?
joe rogan
He was a little kid.
This little kid told him he had the idea that his dad, he should go.
He goes, and I got it.
He goes, it was like 15 below zero.
Got in my fucking car and drove to Milwaukee.
And then he won, he beat Calvin, and then he's won every fight since then and won the title.
brendan schaub
This day and age, you have to have that head coach.
You have to have all bases covered, man.
You can't be distracted with this.
You can't be doing this over here.
You can't live here and then fly in just for your camp.
You can't decide to get serious six weeks before.
People are too good.
Imagine the NFL did that.
Imagine if Tom Brady was like, I'm going to do this even though I'm in C's, and then right before training camp starts, I'm going to get serious.
They can't.
You just can't, man.
joe rogan
Yeah, and Duke's another guy that doesn't get enough credit because he's another guy that's pretty quiet.
Like, Duke Rufus is not out there trying to make a lot of noise and get a lot of people to pay attention to him.
He's just an awesome striking coach.
brendan schaub
Amazing striking coach.
I think the reason why maybe he doesn't get enough credit with Woodley is because of what's going on with Pettis.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah.
brendan schaub
That's the only reason.
joe rogan
Pettis is in a weird state, huh, man?
I mean, he can't fight at 145. He's just too weak.
brendan schaub
It's not for him.
joe rogan
He just can't take it.
You know, you watch that fight and it's like, God, Max Holloway just beat the fuck out of him.
brendan schaub
But look, I don't get why he went to 45. Look at his losses at 55. It's like, it's not that bad.
You're talking about split decisions and decisions.
It's really not that bad.
You obviously can compete in the top five there.
joe rogan
He definitely competed and could actually go the full distance while getting beat up.
Whereas at 45, his body was breaking down.
brendan schaub
And he even said, he goes, I did everything in my power to make weight, I just, my body shut down.
I don't know what to tell you guys.
joe rogan
Maybe he should just go fucking heavy.
Just start strength and conditioning work.
Start fucking, you know, doing deadlifts and shit.
andy stumpf
Beef his body up.
joe rogan
Because if you look at Dos Anjos, there's Dos Anjos before, um, like, Habib Nurmagomedov, and then there's Dos Anjos afterwards.
brendan schaub
You mean, you mean the USADA? I don't know what you're saying.
You're talking about the USADA? I don't know who you are.
joe rogan
Johnny Hendricks.
brendan schaub
I don't know who you are.
joe rogan
I don't know who you are.
But there is absolutely a difference when a guy gets on a serious strength and conditioning routine, regardless of Mexican supplements.
He went with Nick Curzon.
And Nick Curzon, you ever see the videos of Rafael Dos Anjos and Curzon working out?
brendan schaub
Yeah, doing work.
joe rogan
Curzon is a beast.
He has guys doing crazy shit.
He's got you doing all that Marv Marinovich shit where you got all this footwork stuff and he believes in like foot strength above all, all plyometrics, all these explosive box jumps and shit, all this crazy fucking burpees and all the nutty explosive sprinting back and forth type stuff.
brendan schaub
That's the shit you need.
I love that meathead chick.
For a while, remember Carlos Kondo was climbing on trees and shit and fucking Connor was doing all this weird stuff and then all of a sudden just the meathead movement is bad.
joe rogan
The meathead movement?
How's that?
Like, in what way?
brendan schaub
That training.
joe rogan
Kershaw's not a meathead.
I wouldn't say that's a meathead movement at all.
I think that's the opposite.
brendan schaub
No, no, no.
What I'm saying is that raw power, that strength condition, you can't make up for that by climbing on trees and doing this weird yoga movement and all that shit.
There's room for that.
joe rogan
That's all good, but you gotta be able to move.
brendan schaub
It can't be your focus.
It can't be your fucking focus.
joe rogan
But Conor, what Conor's been able to do is develop, like, extremely agile, back-and-forth movement.
And I think a lot of that is that Edore Portal guy.
I've got to admit that as weird as his stuff looks when he's flipping around, doing all these jumps, if you can move your body like that, that's going to directly translate into your footwork and your movement.
brendan schaub
I'd give more credit to his head coach.
joe rogan
100%.
I mean, Jon Cavanaugh is a wizard.
brendan schaub
As far as his movement.
Speaking of UFC 207, you know who the biggest winner is?
joe rogan
Who?
brendan schaub
Conor McGregor.
joe rogan
How so?
brendan schaub
He's the only star.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
brendan schaub
He's the only megastar and goes...
joe rogan
He gets all the stock.
brendan schaub
You fellas, you want to talk now or what do you want to do?
Because I'm the only guy left.
joe rogan
Well, how about this?
It's that and then the next pay-per-view is Holly Holm versus Jermaine Derandamay, which is...
It's a tough sell, right?
And it's a very good fight.
I would buy it as a hardcore fan.
brendan schaub
I'll buy it for sure.
joe rogan
For sure.
But the bottom line is...
brendan schaub
You and me and 100,000 people, Will.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Yeah.
It ain't gonna be Conor McGregor numbers, right?
Bottom line.
brendan schaub
Conor, when she lost, and I'm sure he likes Ronda by a bit, business-wise, he's like, excellent.
joe rogan
Excellent.
Well, it's a tricky situation now with the marketing campaign, the WMME put together for this that was so Ronda heavy, and then Ronda gets smashed, and now what are you going to do for it?
You're going to, like, the girl who smashed Ronda?
Is that what Amanda gets for her next title fight?
brendan schaub
You do a press tour, a world press tour with her, like, let's introduce you to the girl who beat the shit out of Ronda now.
joe rogan
She's not fighting, let's do So they try to piggyback on Ronda again and show the beating.
eddie bravo
Well, you know, she sort of retired two legends in the sport.
brendan schaub
That's why she's my fighter of the year.
eddie bravo
She retired Misha, and then she retired Ronda.
If Ronda retires, that's huge.
She retired both of them.
All of a sudden, Amanda is Nate Diaz.
joe rogan
Did you see Kat Zingano posted on Instagram that Amanda blocked her?
Because Kat Zingano stopped Amanda.
And Amanda was hurting Kat Zingano bad in the first round.
Real bad.
Kat was in big fucking trouble.
But she survived and went on to stop Amanda.
brendan schaub
And I love Kat, but all fucking Amanda could do is be like, you lost to the chick I just beat in 17 seconds.
joe rogan
Yeah, but she got caught in an arm bar.
eddie bravo
How did Amanda lose that fight?
I don't remember that one.
joe rogan
She beat her down.
She beat her down the third round.
Kat got on top and started blasting her.
eddie bravo
Did she kind of gasp?
joe rogan
No.
Well, she kind of gasped, but Kat is ferocious.
eddie bravo
Kat beat Amanda.
joe rogan
You know that fucking scream?
There's a recording of Kat Zingano screaming after she won that fight.
And it's so primal, dude.
It's like an animal scream.
eddie bravo
I think you played it before on the podcast.
joe rogan
Yeah, because it was like when she did it, I was like, whew, there's some shit you hear.
eddie bravo
That's it.
joe rogan
That's her.
Come on, man.
You can't fake that.
That's in your bones, man.
That's in your soul.
brendan schaub
Remember that's after all that darkness she dealt with with her husband committing suicide and just all this darkness.
eddie bravo
How long ago was that?
brendan schaub
That was after that.
eddie bravo
That was the fight.
joe rogan
Play that again, Jamie.
Play that again.
Listen to this shit.
unidentified
Hell yeah.
eddie bravo
That's like what I...
First time I did DMZ.
joe rogan
That shit makes me nervous.
unidentified
That shit skit too.
joe rogan
That shit makes me nervous.
She's fucking ferocious.
joey diaz
But Brendan, to answer your question from before, not to interrupt you, they're sitting on a fucking gold mine, William Morris now, with this fucking Amanda Nunes.
I told you last night, she's part of the LBGT community, Jack.
brendan schaub
Great story.
joey diaz
That's deep fucking pockets, okay?
joe rogan
That's deep pockets.
It's LBGTQA now.
joey diaz
What is that?
brendan schaub
God damn.
eddie bravo
What is that?
joe rogan
Gotta keep up.
Lesbians.
Gays.
joey diaz
Transsexuals.
joe rogan
I don't know how transsexuals get lumped in there.
joey diaz
They just hit the fucking lottery ticket.
They just hit the fucking lottery ticket.
joe rogan
Asexuals are in there, too.
brendan schaub
Because they had Liz Karmouche before that.
joey diaz
But Liz Karmouche didn't beat up fucking Ronda Rousey.
brendan schaub
She was still lesbian.
joe rogan
It helps, but Liz Karmouche wasn't the champion.
Once you're the champion, it's everything.
And when Liz Karmouche fought Ronda, she fought her at the first fight when no one knew who Ronda was.
So Ronda has all this hype behind her.
She wins that fight and then goes on.
And Liz has done well in the UFC, but having that...
It's not the same.
eddie bravo
You know who Tanya Evinger is?
She fights for Invicta.
She's awesome.
Have you ever seen her fight, Tanya Evinger?
joe rogan
Very tough.
brendan schaub
I don't think so.
eddie bravo
She is badass.
She's an Invicta.
She's super tough.
She's really good.
And she's openly gay, too.
joe rogan
And what weight is she?
eddie bravo
She's hilarious, man.
I love that chick.
She's like 135. 135, 145. She's good, man.
joe rogan
There's going to be more...
It's the same thing we were talking about.
Like, when Anderson was in his prime, when he was just lighting people on fire, the vision was like...
There wasn't...
You know, you had, like, Patrick Cote.
He had a couple of fights for the title.
Talos Latis, where, like, there's no one...
Rich Franklin.
There's no...
Well, Rich Franklin was the champ, but there's no...
Overwhelming need to see that fight.
You know what I mean?
Like you want to see the fight because I'm interested to see.
Patrick's got a great chin.
He's got power.
Let's see what happens.
But it's not like, oh, here's the next one.
It's like Cody Garbrandt fighting Dominick Cruz.
You were like, oh, let's see what happens here.
There was no one like that for Anderson for a long ass time.
And I think in the women's bantamweight division, you got a kind of similar situation now.
It's like, now you have Amanda Nunes who beats the shit out of Misha.
Misha's gonna step back.
She's gone now.
She beats the shit out of Ronda.
Ronda steps back.
Holly goes up to 145. Holly's gonna fight Jermaine Duran to make.
eddie bravo
They gotta change that shit.
brendan schaub
Why not have Amanda fight for both belts?
eddie bravo
How about Amanda going home to save that card?
joe rogan
Fuck yeah.
eddie bravo
I mean, make some moves.
Have you seen the card?
joe rogan
Well, no.
Holly's the headliner.
eddie bravo
That's what I'm saying.
joe rogan
Holly's fighting Jermaine Duran to me for the $145.
eddie bravo
I think they should give Jermaine Demand-Jermaine $500,000 to chill out.
Nuna's already beat her, by the way.
joey diaz
Nunez beat who?
brendan schaub
I thought Nunez already beat Jermaine Durand.
joe rogan
Yeah, she beat her in the UFC. Yeah, Jermaine is a wicked kickboxer.
She's a world-class, multiple-time world champion kickboxer.
I think she won the world Muay Thai title on several occasions.
She's really elite as a Muay Thai fighter.
It's a fun fight.
Big gloves.
Stand up.
Always stand up.
There's no ground.
And as soon as she got in the UFC, you could see that transition between learning the striking with takedowns versus just fighting in a kickboxing bout.
It's a big transition.
brendan schaub
It takes time, too.
But you're also going against people who aren't going to give you the time.
joe rogan
Exactly.
They're just fucking shooting it on her and beating her up and taking her down.
It's just a different sport.
brendan schaub
Who's on that card?
I thought the card was pretty good.
It's in Brooklyn, yes?
joe rogan
Travis Brown is fighting Derek Lewis.
That's an interesting fight.
But what's, you know, I mean, where's Travis's head at right now?
brendan schaub
He's staying in the same camp, isn't he?
joe rogan
Yes.
brendan schaub
God damn it, Travis.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Holly Holm versus Amanda Nunes.
eddie bravo
That's the fight right there.
joe rogan
Yeah, I agree with you.
I think at 135, that's a fucking wow fight.
eddie bravo
They should do that for this card.
brendan schaub
No, make Amanda the two-belt champion.
joe rogan
But then you have to remember that Valentina Shevchenko just beat Holly and beat her up stand-up.
brendan schaub
Holly's come off two losses.
joe rogan
Yeah, and Valentina beat her up stand-up with that check-right hook.
That's the fight we should see.
eddie bravo
Yeah, they put those two together.
They need help with this card.
joe rogan
The problem is most people, even though Valentina won, they don't know who she is yet.
Even though she won.
I mean, she needs a few more victories inside the UFC in order to get people excited about it.
eddie bravo
Is this pay-per-view?
brendan schaub
This is pay-per-view.
Brooklyn.
The only reason people know Holly, too, is they don't know her past losses, really.
Granted, her fight was on Fox, but all they know is she's the girl that knocked out Ronda.
That's what's selling this.
joe rogan
Eddie, bro, are you trying to say that this isn't going to get your last 60 bucks?
eddie bravo
I'm just saying that...
brendan schaub
I will illegally stream it like I did the last one.
eddie bravo
Amanda Nunes just fought for 45 seconds.
She's fresh.
Have her headline that card.
brendan schaub
Hey man, let's build her up.
Where's the fire?
unidentified
What are you talking about?
brendan schaub
Where's the fire?
eddie bravo
Is that the Super Bowl card?
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Damn.
I agree with Eddie.
eddie bravo
I'm not saying nothing.
I'm not saying nothing.
I'm just saying...
joe rogan
No, no.
Super Bowl weekend is in Houston.
It's a different card.
eddie bravo
Oh, it is?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Oh, they changed it.
I don't think they have that card locked up either, by the way.
I think they're still moving fights around for that Brooklyn card because I think they recognize that they need a little bit more juice on that card.
joey diaz
So there's no Super Bowl card in Vegas this year?
joe rogan
No, it's not in Vegas.
It's in Houston this year.
joey diaz
And the Super Bowl's in Houston.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
Is it Super Bowl in Houston or Dallas?
I thought it was Dallas.
Is it Houston?
I know it's Texas.
joe rogan
Texas.
So they'll have a big card for the UFC there.
brendan schaub
Hey, man.
eddie bravo
That's a great fight.
brendan schaub
If you want my money.
joe rogan
All they have right now is Bermudez and Chan Sung Jung.
That's a good fight, but what day is that?
brendan schaub
That would sell seven pay-per-views right now.
joe rogan
February 5th?
4th?
unidentified
Super Bowl's on the 5th.
joe rogan
The 4th.
They need to throw Amanda on one of those cards.
I'm not there for that.
brendan schaub
You need to slow down, sir.
eddie bravo
Jesus Christ, what are we doing over here?
joe rogan
That's a Super Bowl card and it's a fight night?
joey diaz
What's the Super Bowl weekend?
unidentified
Super Bowl weekend?
joey diaz
The 29th?
unidentified
The game is on the 5th.
brendan schaub
Yeah, that's the night before.
joe rogan
It's a free fight night.
Super Bowl weekend has always been a pay-per-view UFC. It's usually been in Vegas.
I wonder what they're doing, man.
Well, you know what, man?
brendan schaub
Who's gonna headline cards right now?
Who would sell a pay-per-view?
joe rogan
It's a good fucking question.
There's a lot of stars out there.
No heavyweights other than Stipe Miocic that can sell a big card right now.
brendan schaub
And he has to sell it in Cleveland, too.
eddie bravo
There's a lot of stars out there.
There's a lot of stars out there.
brendan schaub
That would sell a pay-per-view, Eddie.
Which ones?
joe rogan
Serious.
brendan schaub
And just like, give me three.
And go.
eddie bravo
Well, Amanda Nunez really didn't...
I mean, she put in 45 seconds.
joey diaz
Robbie Wall was ready.
eddie bravo
They should take advantage.
I mean, you want...
brendan schaub
I'm talking about legit pay-per-view sellers.
joe rogan
Honestly, there's Conor McGregor and then there's everybody else, right?
brendan schaub
Correct.
joe rogan
There was a thing that they showed the other day that Conor, in three fights, drew more pay-per-view than the entire UFC roster in 2014. Yeah.
brendan schaub
His three worst gates and papers of all time beat Ronda's best and Brock Lesnar's best.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's the best.
He's the biggest, for sure.
Are you guys arguing?
No, no, you're not arguing.
But some people are.
brendan schaub
No, I'm just looking at you like this.
joe rogan
Dana's argued it, right?
brendan schaub
Yeah, he goes, Ronda's the biggest star, and Conor's like, No.
joe rogan
What Rhonda is, is like, here's what's different.
When Rhonda's face came on the screen the first time in Vegas this weekend, I heard young girls scream.
That's all I heard.
I heard young girls.
It was like Justin Bieber pulled his dick out.
It was like...
brendan schaub
How about that motherfucker's talking shit?
How about Bieber's talking shit?
unidentified
I know.
joe rogan
He made a tweet that said, you just got knocked the fuck out.
brendan schaub
Hey Bieber, sing your fucking songs and beat it, nerd.
joe rogan
What?
That dude's so silly.
brendan schaub
You don't even write your own music.
What the fuck are you talking about?
joe rogan
That dude's so silly.
brendan schaub
That's what I can't stand.
When people aren't involved in the game, they say stuff like that.
It's like, what have you ever done to risk your...
What are you talking about?
joe rogan
Yeah.
eddie bravo
Damn.
joe rogan
It got 239,000 likes.
brendan schaub
And it's because Ronda, she was at some concert or something and her little sister wanted to meet Bieber and he didn't have time.
So then she got mad.
Remember that?
She was like, fuck Bieber.
So that's where it stems from.
unidentified
Oh, wow.
joe rogan
Oh, okay.
brendan schaub
So he's like waiting.
joe rogan
Well, you remember when fucking Ronda got KO'd by Holly?
Trump said, I'm glad she got knocked out.
Not a good person.
brendan schaub
Trump talked shit again, didn't he?
Trump did another tweet about Ronda.
joe rogan
About Ronda?
brendan schaub
And he's the president of the United States!
No!
I'm pretty sure.
unidentified
Did he really?
Yeah.
joe rogan
He is so crazy.
brendan schaub
Check out his tweet.
joe rogan
He is so crazy.
joey diaz
Why is he mad at Ron, though?
joe rogan
Who fucking knows?
She might have talked shit about him.
brendan schaub
Because she said, she goes, I would never vote for Trump.
joe rogan
Yeah, she said she was going to vote for Bernie Sanders.
brendan schaub
You're the president of the United States, motherfucker.
What do you care?
joe rogan
I know, right?
brendan schaub
Hey, man, don't you have bigger fires to put out instead of tweeting bullshit?
joe rogan
Well, not only that, man.
eddie bravo
He's not a politician, man.
That's not what he is.
joe rogan
I know, right?
eddie bravo
He's not.
joe rogan
He's not.
eddie bravo
He's not trying to.
He don't even want to stay at the White House.
Because I got a fucking hotel.
unidentified
I wouldn't either.
He's like, look at this little place.
I got a bidet.
joey diaz
I got Chinese butlers and shit.
unidentified
Get the fuck out of here to the White House and shit.
eddie bravo
It's probably run down.
joe rogan
It's probably like the Playboy Mansion.
unidentified
What?
brendan schaub
It's nasty.
Mildew on the windows and shit.
joe rogan
You've been in the mansion, right?
Didn't you come with me to that marijuana policy project thing?
eddie bravo
When I first got invited to the mansion, I thought, oh my god, it's going to be just like those videos, you see?
They used to be the commercials.
Girls Gone Wild.
Like Playboy Mansion.
And you'd see on E! the Playboy Mansion.
You're like, oh shit.
We get invited to an event there, and then you figure it out really quick that, okay, not every night goes off because there's like no girls there.
They had giant screens everywhere in the backyard playing loops of people partying on the good nights.
So you're at the Playboy Mansion seeing people party at the Playboy Mansion.
And then I looked into it and it turns out they rent out the place all the goddamn time.
brendan schaub
They rent it out all the time.
eddie bravo
It's not like what you see on TV. There's only two times per year where it's that, what you imagine, where they're just 80% girls and they're all in their underwear.
That does happen, but it's only their Halloween party and their 4th of July or a midnight summer's eve.
brendan schaub
And that shit blasts off.
eddie bravo
It's impossible to get into those.
joe rogan
Eddie, you remember when we went to see fights there?
Yeah, we saw Strikeforce there.
eddie bravo
Yes, that's right.
brendan schaub
Brandon Thatch.
No one thought on that.
joe rogan
Yeah, dude, Thatch, man.
That was a tough loss.
brendan schaub
Yeah, it's probably over, isn't it?
joe rogan
Yeah, he just did not.
He looked terrible on the ground, man.
He was making big rookie mistakes.
brendan schaub
Super amateur.
joe rogan
Yeah, he was leaving himself open.
He wasn't patient.
brendan schaub
It's heartbreaking.
joe rogan
He wasn't doing it the right way.
brendan schaub
I'm telling you, if you saw him in the gym, you're like, I've seen him against the best in the world.
You're like, this motherfucker's going to do it, man.
joe rogan
So what is it?
brendan schaub
Commitment to the grappling.
Commitment to grappling.
Commitment to jiu-jitsu.
unidentified
Yeah, man.
brendan schaub
He's just so good at stand-up.
You know, his dad's this legend in Denver as far as striking, and he was a taekwondo guy, and he trained him since he was little.
And Thatch was always the it factor in the gym, where you're like, dude, if you're standing with him, good luck.
He could do it all.
Both ways, whatever you wanted.
He could mimic anything.
joe rogan
He looked good standing up, too, man.
brendan schaub
He looked real good.
joe rogan
And he made the mistake of initiating the grappling.
I was like, Jesus Christ.
brendan schaub
And what hurts him even more, I don't know if you guys saw this, with all the chaos going on with UFC 207, their head coach, Lister Bowling, who's my head coach, and I think one of the best in the game, is retiring.
He's leaving Muscle Farm.
joe rogan
Why is he doing that?
brendan schaub
Because his kids, his kids in wrestling, and he lives far away, and he's like, dude, I'm spending too much time with the guys traveling stuff.
It was in the summer, I had three weekends with my kids.
He's like, I just can't do it.
And his son, little Lister, is really getting competitive in wrestling, and Lister's his wrestling coach.
joe rogan
How far away does he live from the gym?
Wow.
brendan schaub
Like an hour.
joe rogan
That sucks.
He should move closer.
unidentified
What the fuck?
brendan schaub
But again, he's like, because he owns his own business.
He makes crazy money.
So he's just doing it, and it kind of got out of hand.
He's like, dude, I'm spending too much time with the team and not enough time with my family.
joe rogan
He's a good dude, too.
brendan schaub
One of the best.
joe rogan
Really good guy.
brendan schaub
One of the best.
joe rogan
Very smart, too.
brendan schaub
I'll tell you what I'd like to see.
I have no idea.
I don't know if they've talked about us.
I have no idea.
But I'd like to see Matt Brown take kind of a leadership role with that team.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
And move that into the next phase of his career?
brendan schaub
I don't even know if he's into it, but I've seen him with the guys and with his mentality and experience.
You're talking about a coach who kind of knows it all, like we were talking about with Matt Hume who's been there.
It'd be a good idea.
I have no idea if he's even into it.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was interesting because Dwayne was working with Matt Brown for this fight.
He worked with him for a few weeks, but I thought maybe we'd see more footwork and movement from Matt that's similar to Dwayne's style.
brendan schaub
Dwayne's style doesn't work that way.
Dwayne, you have to be in and you have to spend a ton of time with him.
And I really think he's the perfect coach for TJ. But unless you're one of those small guys with that crazy footwork, he's not a guy you can go to for six weeks and pick shit up.
joe rogan
But you know what, man?
I agree with you.
But do you remember when Travis Brown was first on the scene?
Like when he fought Skyscraper?
brendan schaub
And he moved like Dominic Cruz?
joe rogan
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
brendan schaub
Because he's training at an alliance?
joe rogan
That's what I'm saying.
brendan schaub
The entire division was like, what the fuck are we going to do?
joe rogan
Yeah, well, what happened to him?
brendan schaub
Edmund.
joe rogan
100%.
brendan schaub
Is that what it is?
100%.
Think about all his fights since he left there.
He was a barbarian, man.
joe rogan
I always said that he was the dark horse in the division.
I was like, let me tell you something.
If this guy puts it all together, he can do some shit that you rarely see from a heavyweight.
joey diaz
He went from Alliance to Winklejohn for a while?
unidentified
Yes.
joey diaz
He was always at Alliance.
brendan schaub
He went to Alliance, then he went to Jackson's and was good there.
He married Overeem and those guys.
Then Overeem stayed there, then he left.
Then he ended up going to...
Edmund with Ronda.
But same thing.
I forget what UFC it was.
I fought Ben Rothwell.
He was on the card fighting some scrub.
And I looked at my coach and I was like, do you know about that guy?
And he goes, a little bit.
And I went, he's probably your next heavyweight champ.
Have you seen the way he moves?
I went, we don't want to fight him down the road.
We want to fight him soon.
Because that guy has so much talent.
He's probably the next champ.
They're like, really?
Then we saw his fight and everyone was like, Jesus Christ.
I'm like, he has footwork like Dominic Cruz and he's a C6-7.
joe rogan
Yeah, you know, I talked to Brian Stan about him, and Brian was pretty adamant about it, like, after the last fight.
He's like, where's all his footwork?
He's like, I remember this guy having incredible footwork and movement when he was at Jackson's camp, and now he's just kind of lost all of it, and he's become this...
brendan schaub
Stagnant, like...
joe rogan
It also doesn't look like he has the same desire anymore, like when he knocked out Gonzaga or Josh Brown.
brendan schaub
Bingo.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Josh Barnett.
Josh Barnett, rather.
Who just got flagged.
joe rogan
Yeah, he got flagged, huh?
What do you know it for?
brendan schaub
Steroids.
joe rogan
Really?
unidentified
Hey man, that guy, he's been flagged before, for God's sakes.
brendan schaub
And I love Josh, shit happens.
joe rogan
He's got caught a few times.
joey diaz
You know, the whole Edmund, somebody put a video out, pretty funny about everybody getting knocked out.
Edmund Camp.
With a little flute, like, from fucking Titanic and shit, you know?
And it's fucking sad, you know?
Right before the Ronda fight, I had to pee.
And while I was peeing, I said to myself, you know what, I can't call this fight, but what do I want to happen?
Let this poor girl fucking win.
Let her retire.
Let Amanda Nunes.
joe rogan
She would never retire if she won.
joey diaz
You know, whatever.
I was hoping.
I didn't want to see what I just saw again.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
But why do we feel that way?
joe rogan
See, but you didn't see what you just saw again.
What you saw was way worse.
The Holly fight, it was her trying to get Holly, but Holly was fighting wisely.
She was sliding away, cracking her with shots.
brendan schaub
It was Ronda being Ronda.
joe rogan
She got hunted.
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
Rhonda got hunted down and destroyed by an assassin.
Totally different kind of a fight.
joey diaz
If I hunt him down right now, if I get up and go and say, I have two seconds before his head adjusts and he realizes where he is.
Even Eddie, if I get on top of him in side control, as big and fat as I am, Eddie will go, fuck, I can't breathe.
But after a while, you get it together.
She didn't even get it together.
joe rogan
The big difference is getting hit in the head.
She probably had no idea what the fuck was going on.
joey diaz
But it was like, but yo!
She just came from a training camp.
Was her media scrum stuff like her training camp?
Usually she's got a little guy she's throwing around in training camp.
This time I didn't see her throwing nobody around in training camp.
joe rogan
She definitely had judo work.
She's definitely doing a lot of work.
There was some footage that was up of her hitting takedowns and stuff.
joey diaz
Did she tell Edmund, I don't want to see nobody, I don't want to talk to nobody?
Was her training reflective of her attitude towards the media and everything like this?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joey diaz
Something is not fucking right here.
That's what I'm saying, Joey.
Joe, I love you.
I appreciate the headshot.
But something wasn't there.
I get shot in the head.
I put my hands up.
brendan schaub
I think that's fair to say, Joe.
joey diaz
Something was not there.
Something was not there.
That's why I feel, and the public, I mean, guys are brilliant.
You feel broken hearted in a way.
brendan schaub
Isn't that weird?
Why do we feel broken?
joey diaz
I feel broken hearted.
unidentified
I do too.
joey diaz
I called you up the next morning and told you.
You are driving back from the airport.
I'm like, I'm broken hearted.
joe rogan
Yeah, you were devastated.
joey diaz
Me, me, everybody gets fired after Holly Holm.
Everybody.
I go back to the Japanese Cultural Center with Misaki down there for $7 every time.
brendan schaub
That's not what made Ronda Ronda though.
She's so loyal.
unidentified
I understand.
joey diaz
But something...
But if she was so loyal, she wouldn't have left the guy that got her into the UFC, though.
brendan schaub
What guy?
Who?
You're talking about the manager?
joey diaz
Yeah.
brendan schaub
My manager's different.
Managers are scumbags.
joey diaz
But if she was so loyal, she wouldn't have left him.
joe rogan
But she said, well, who knows what that deal is?
brendan schaub
Yeah, you're talking about money.
joey diaz
That's different.
brendan schaub
Money's different, though, right?
joe rogan
But there's two different versions of that story.
I don't know who's right.
unidentified
Right.
brendan schaub
And I feel the same way.
joey diaz
Something was not right there.
brendan schaub
I agree 100%.
joey diaz
The head punch is great, but something wasn't there, Joe.
Something wasn't there.
unidentified
When she went to grab her, Nunes went like this.
brendan schaub
It wasn't the same Ronda that came out for Holly and that tenacity.
joe rogan
Joe, you remember that time you told me you mugged that gay guy and he beat the shit out of you?
unidentified
Yeah.
joey diaz
But he wasn't a gay guy.
I'll get in trouble now.
What happened was, guys that were thinking they wanted to be gay, like guys that had families and shit, that wanted to get their dick sucked, would have a few drinks in them, and they'd go to Hudson County Park to see if there was somebody there to get their dick sucked.
Like, before I went into your show last night, I parked.
Sean just said, park in this lot.
I didn't park in that lot.
I parked in a lot that was empty, and when I was walking over there, Some dude kept making weird eye contact with me.
He wanted to suck dick.
I know when somebody looks at me because they see me from the podcast.
joe rogan
Joey's got like a guy in his head.
What does that look mean?
unidentified
No, no, no, no, no.
joey diaz
I know exactly.
I know.
It's either he had two looks to him.
Either he wanted to sell me drugs, Oh, he wanted to suck my dick.
joe rogan
Okay.
How'd you decide that it was dick?
joey diaz
How creepy it was.
joe rogan
Oh, okay.
joey diaz
Just his appearance.
I don't want to say he looked gay.
joe rogan
Right.
joey diaz
But just his appearance.
joe rogan
But he looked gay.
joey diaz
He was a male prostitute.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
joe rogan
Let's pretend he was a male prostitute.
brendan schaub
His mouth was watering.
joe rogan
Okay.
joey diaz
Okay, so.
joe rogan
Anyway.
So these guys.
joey diaz
These guys would come down and they'd be half drunk.
Like in hindsight, I think about it, and there are all these type of dudes that may not just be gay.
They just have a family, but they like the gay.
You know, it's 1980. That'd be gay though, wouldn't it?
In 1980, it wasn't easy to go, I'm coming out of the closet.
There was a lot of guys in the...
Let me talk to you about something.
You ever been around the guy, tell me the truth, as a man, you ever been around the guy that when you get in your car and go home, you're like, you know what?
brendan schaub
For sure.
joey diaz
I could definitely talk that dude into sucking my dick.
He's dying to suck a dick.
Even though he's got a hot girlfriend, and a kid, and they got a dog, and he goes to fucking, uh, what, CrossFit?
You could tell, maybe he could mingle on the other side.
unidentified
A kid and a dog.
joey diaz
You could talk him into switching governments.
joe rogan
He's got a kid and a dog.
unidentified
A lot of dudes like that, that you look at and you go, every guy out there with a kid who's walking his dog is like, fuck, am I gay?
brendan schaub
No, no, no.
joey diaz
Maybe you have evil fantasies like Rob Halford in Hell Bent for Leather.
You know that's all?
unidentified
Rob Halford is evil.
joe rogan
But he was gay as fuck.
joey diaz
No, I'm not saying that.
I love Bob Halford.
eddie bravo
I love Bob Halford.
joe rogan
I do too.
But I'm just saying that.
joey diaz
There's a lot of fucking guys, dog, that you see, that you know.
Maybe their dad's still alive and he was a Marine.
What the fuck does that mean?
You can't go home and tell your dad, who was a general, I want to suck dick for a time.
unidentified
I see what you're saying.
joe rogan
You know what I'm saying?
I thought you were saying, like, those guys, if your dad was alive, he's a Marine, you want to blow guys.
joey diaz
Joe Rogan, you were an intelligence.
How many guys do you think are out there right now?
We've had this discussion that are married, whatever, but every once in a while, they put a feather suit on, and they go dance like in anything.
unidentified
It's probably more than 10. And that's what we used to.
joey diaz
You know, we used to go down there.
We were dumb kids.
We figured out we could rob these dudes that were drunk.
They come down and get their dick sucked.
So we bait him.
We got the captain of police's son, so we weren't gonna go to jail.
He was better looking than you.
We weren't gonna go to jail.
We put him out there.
We put like a guinea t-shirt, you know, those wife beaters with a little gold chain with a cross on it and shit.
And we put him out there on Boulevard East and then we hide in the trees.
And then he'd go, I'll suck your dick, and the guy would park, and then he'd walk him back, and right before I went to get that one knee, I'd come up with that straight right kick, John Jones to the fucking nutsack.
You go down, we're in the trees.
We're hiding in the trees.
unidentified
We fucking fly down from the trees.
joey diaz
And we just bam, bam, bam.
We take your money.
We were 16 guys.
You know nobody fucking knows what you're writing.
eddie bravo
Not that.
joey diaz
My mother.
No.
eddie bravo
Perfect guy to rob.
The guy's not going to the cops.
unidentified
He's not going to the cops.
joey diaz
And you got to remember, my crew was the third crew out.
There was a crew from 64th Street.
They were not only robbing you, they were taking you to your house.
I had friends that were in high school that actually were setting you up.
Yeah, let's suck your dick.
And then they'd put you back in your car and go to your house and rob you.
We were the light crew.
We were just going down there, peppering you with a few shots and running away with you.
brendan schaub
Nobody getting their dicks on.
joe rogan
My point about the story was there was one time where you...
joey diaz
Well, I got beat up.
I went down there by myself.
joe rogan
Yeah, you went down there.
joey diaz
I went down there by myself.
I had to mix minus the eight and a half.
And I only won by eight.
So I got caught by the hook.
And I called my buddy.
And I go, dog, we lost.
And he goes, I'm with my girlfriend.
But at the time, I was, yeah, you want it up?
I'm hanging out with my buddies.
We're hitting the back.
I'll go down there.
I'll go down there, bro.
I'm from Jersey.
They ain't got to do nothing to me.
This dude lit me up.
It could have been Nunes' uncle.
It could have been Amanda Nunes' uncle.
He punched me with so many shots.
But again...
brendan schaub
He lit your ass up?
joey diaz
Lit me up.
brendan schaub
And had a Broncard boner?
joey diaz
But here's the funny thing that...
In hindsight now, I know what Joe's saying.
Levels are striking.
I never saw striking.
It was nighttime, so I didn't even see his hands.
I just kept seeing lights.
You ever see lights?
unidentified
I just kept seeing lights.
joey diaz
When you see lights at night, that's...
brendan schaub
The motherfucker had some training.
joe rogan
There's a funny thing about striking, too, and this relates to what Amanda can do.
There's power, and then there's like, whoa power.
There's like crazy power.
brendan schaub
God-gifted power, yeah.
joe rogan
Some people just have it, and you see it with Lineker.
Lineker for sure has it.
Rumble for sure has it.
There's people that have this weird power.
They have an ability to hit people, and you see people that normally can take a shot, and you see the look in their eye where they're in big trouble, like right away.
And when you get hit like that, man, You don't know where the fuck you are.
eddie bravo
Let me ask you this.
In jujitsu, every black belt knows how to do a rear naked choke, but very few people can do a rear naked choke like Marcelo Garcia.
unidentified
Right.
eddie bravo
Very few people.
Why?
It's because...
Would you say it was natural, like Lineker, or was it because he spent a lot of time perfecting the back?
And I know for a fact that he did.
unidentified
He used to...
eddie bravo
He used to ride on people's backs with the over-under and not even try to tap him.
He would just spend a lot of time just riding and perfecting the control.
Then he just mastered the fight.
Then he realized how important that squeeze was so that he would ride and squeeze and he knew that it was all about the power of the squeeze.
So he spent a lot of time With the rear naked choke.
And, you know, there's quite a few guys out there now that are, you know, his students and other guys that have developed back attacks is almost as good as Marcelo, but probably not as good.
Now, when you're talking about power, you know, certain guys have the power, whether they're born with it or not.
What if the guys with the power are actually in their training, working harder...
And more consistently at developing power.
Like, what would you need?
Like, you gotta...
joe rogan
It's different.
There is a possibility, but it's also a physics issue.
It's also an anatomy issue.
eddie bravo
What if it's both, though?
joe rogan
It might be both, but there's...
eddie bravo
It has to be, right?
joe rogan
It is.
Like, okay, here's a problem.
Cody Garbrandt does not have big hands.
He's not built like a George Foreman type character.
Like, George Foreman has freakish physical attributes.
He's got hands that are like the size of, like, canned hams.
They're fucking gigantic.
And he would just thump!
Just thump guys with a jab, and you would see them get stunned and hurt.
Obviously, trained like a motherfucker.
Obviously, had very good technique, too.
Obviously, worked on all those things, too.
But you can't overcome the physical attributes if a guy does all those other things as well.
That's where the freaks come in.
That's where the people just have this ridiculous one-shot power.
But there's technique.
brendan schaub
Look at Conor.
Conor's not a big guy.
He's a wide-shoulder guy, but he has that one-hit quitter.
joe rogan
Right.
Yeah, no question.
eddie bravo
When you think about your turning sidekick, right?
Like your personal turning sidekick.
Everybody knows now that it's extremely powerful.
Scary powerful.
Very few people.
I've never seen anybody throw a turning sidekick as hard as you.
I've worked with a lot of martial artists.
In my time, still to this day, holy shit.
Michael Jai White, excuse me, he's right up there too, but he's like 6'4", 240. Anyways, but you have said many times that the The secret behind your power was the reps.
You knew that it was all about just hitting that heavy bag as many goddamn times as possible.
Every day, just standing in front.
And you said that most people don't develop that power because most people just don't spend the time standing in front of a bag and just working.
brendan schaub
It's also the way he's built, though.
eddie bravo
Well, that too.
joe rogan
Listen, man, there was a lot of guys that I trained with that had good turning sidekicks.
I always knew that I had a cheat.
I had a physical advantage.
Like, the size of my hands.
For someone my size.
I mean, you have to realize I had hands this big when I was fighting at 154. It was ridiculous.
brendan schaub
They were just- Certain physical attributes you have.
joe rogan
The width of the shoulders is big.
eddie bravo
But that has nothing to do with your turning side kick.
unidentified
It does.
joe rogan
It does.
brendan schaub
It's in the hips, too.
joe rogan
It's the same thing with my hips, my knees, my ass.
brendan schaub
Explosive.
joe rogan
It's also the fast twitch fiber, whether you have it or not.
eddie bravo
Is it a coincidence?
Is it a coincidence?
joe rogan
That's when you get greatness.
Powers, a lot of it is fast twitch.
And you either have fast twitch or you don't.
I mean, Nick Diaz is a hard puncher, but he's never going to be a puncher like Woodley.
brendan schaub
No matter what he does, who he trains with it will never be there.
eddie bravo
Your average MMA fighter, how much time do you think they spend working on the power of their turning sidekick?
Very little.
brendan schaub
Well, no one really throws a sidekick in the UFC. Very few then, right?
joe rogan
Well, there's a few guys.
There's a few guys that do it.
eddie bravo
They have allotted a certain amount of time a week, like for 20 minutes on Mondays.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but to your point, power, how many guys focus on throwing a right hand or left hand if they're dominant left-handed or southpaws?
Everyone does.
There's very few who can do it in one punch and knock guys out.
eddie bravo
You know fighters that specifically train every day just to develop specific punching?
Like today, I'm going to spend...
brendan schaub
Power punches.
eddie bravo
Power punches, right?
joe rogan
In between camps.
In between camps, guys do that, for sure.
Guys will just, like, go...
Like George was famous for doing that.
He would go down to Henzo's and just only train jiu-jitsu for, like, months on end.
You know, just to really tighten everything up.
He went to Brazil a couple times just to train jiu-jitsu.
brendan schaub
Or Lofsky would do it in boxing.
You know, I would do it in boxing...
eddie bravo
So what's the best thing you can do?
You're a professional fighter, you're fighting in the UFC, you're ranked 13th, and you want to take your power, your hand, you want to be able to knock someone, you want to have that Conor McGregor strength.
What do I got to do to get...
brendan schaub
Lift weight.
joe rogan
Yeah, I don't think so.
unidentified
I don't think so.
brendan schaub
I think it's genetics.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's genetics.
joey diaz
I think genetics has a lot to do with it, but I think if you go see somebody, they could clean up the efficiency.
eddie bravo
Yes, for sure.
joey diaz
You know, because it's your shoulders turning your shoulders.
eddie bravo
Yes, there's a lot of technique in it.
joey diaz
There's a lot of stuff that goes into that punch.
You know, if a wrestler, a world champion wrestler came in, and I came in, and I was a world champion wrestler, but my punches weren't that hard.
I think in time...
joe rogan
All these are true, but let me tell you something.
You talk to someone who's a real boxing trainer, and they will tell you that there are guys that just come in, and for whatever reason, they might not have ever boxed before, but you have them throw a jab, and they're like, and you're like, oh, Jesus.
brendan schaub
I can't teach that.
eddie bravo
For sure there's those people.
joe rogan
And then the technique makes it better.
If you look at a guy like Sergey Kovalev, who's a vicious knockout artist, vicious puncher, he's got both.
He's got the beautiful technique, but he also has that freakish God-given strength.
Those are the guys that oftentimes wind up being champions.
brendan schaub
Now, to that point, look at Andre Ward, who just fought, who probably trains more than Sergei.
He was an Olympic medalist, gold medalist, has been training, fighting since he was 10, I think.
And he works on power punches, but he's not a knockout artist.
eddie bravo
So you're saying you're a head coach of a team.
You would tell all your fighters, you're either born with power or you're not, don't worry about working on your power.
Just work on your power.
joe rogan
You can always improve everything, but you're never going to get it to that rumble level.
brendan schaub
I'm not saying that.
I'm never going to tell Rebel, hey, let's pick our shots here.
More volume.
No, I don't think we're even arguing.
We're not arguing.
eddie bravo
What can you do specifically?
15 minutes a week, 30 minutes a week.
We're focusing on developing power.
You're not known for a right hand.
brendan schaub
Every coach does it already.
eddie bravo
After two years, we're going to do...
What is it, though, specifically?
joey diaz
Going to the pool with dumbbells like Muhammad and just throw punches.
eddie bravo
Is that the best way?
joe rogan
You could most certainly do some strength and conditioning work that would help.
eddie bravo
Just hitting a bag.
joe rogan
Hitting a bag would help a lot.
Hitting a bag, maybe.
All the above would help.
Like, Evander Holyfield started working out with Mackie Shillstone when he went up from cruiserweight to heavyweight.
So he did a lot of weightlifting.
And his power came up with him.
brendan schaub
Put a lot of weight on them.
joe rogan
Put a lot of weight on them.
And maybe Mexican supplements.
brendan schaub
Yes, and he's also explosive.
joe rogan
And maybe definitely Mexican supplements.
And maybe 100%.
brendan schaub
100% anyways.
And he could win the Olympia at the same time.
Yeah.
joe rogan
But the guys who are like...
There's a good video of Joseph Valtellini on his...
Go to Bazooka Joe Valtellini on his Instagram page.
Valtellini, who was glory champion, had to step back because of concussions.
And I think he's going to stay retired.
He hasn't decided yet, but...
He went down on the top.
I mean, he's one of the best kickboxers in the world.
But there's a video of him hitting the pads and just digging.
Just digging into pads and talking about the importance of sometimes just going all out with power.
Just all out power shots on the pads.
Like, watch.
You can see this guy.
He's a...
And when he's doing it, when he's hitting these pads, the good thing about it is hands never drop from his chin.
Always good position.
But...
To really dig in and work only solely on your power, you don't want to do that all the time.
This is just something that you're going to do occasionally, and only every athlete has to decide.
It really depends on the person, depends on what else you're working on.
eddie bravo
Five minutes a day?
joe rogan
See, but this combination, these are so simple combinations.
Like right hand, left hook, right kick.
eddie bravo
To develop power, isn't it better on a heavy bag than as opposed to these?
joe rogan
Not necessarily.
That's just as good.
That's just as good that style, but that's not as good for straight kicks.
Because you can't kick a person to the body that way.
Like if I put a body pad on a dude and I spinning back kick him, he's going to get really hurt.
Like I'll break your ribs.
Even with one of those big body shields on it, if you let someone spinning back kick you in the body, it's going to break your ribs.
brendan schaub
There's some punchers too, if they do a liver shot on a coach with a body pad, they'll drop them.
Yeah, they'll drop them.
Internal bleeding.
joey diaz
You got a fuck up mix, dawg.
The dude who lost, who was the first boxer that got choked out in the UFC? James Toney?
I heard that dude.
joe rogan
Oh, he can fuck some mitts up.
unidentified
Oh, people say it's the most talented of all time.
joey diaz
James Toney is a fucking artist.
He said, dog, you got to put extra.
He will fuck your shit up.
joe rogan
He was an artist.
When he was at his best, he was an artist.
brendan schaub
If you talk to anyone from that national team, they'll say, who's the best boxer, most talented of all time?
Every single person unanimously says James Toney.
Even Floyd Mayweather is the best we've ever seen.
Talent-wise, James Toney.
joe rogan
He was a bad motherfucker, but he liked to eat.
unidentified
Freak.
brendan schaub
He loved him some fucking Big Macs.
That's a problem.
joey diaz
He got thick.
joe rogan
He went all the way up to heavyweight.
Remember that?
You know, James Toney started out his career at 160, 168. Freak.
brendan schaub
Super freak.
To that point, though, and we can end on that and I'll get rid of it.
But look at baseball.
Like, Mark McGuire, he's never going to be a single-base guy.
He's a fucking guy.
joe rogan
Also, but here's a good example.
Full of Mexican supplements when he's at his best.
brendan schaub
True.
joe rogan
If you get that guy on the natch and had him hit a baseball, I mean, how much distance is the difference between him?
brendan schaub
So he might hit 30 home runs instead of 70, but still, it was in his genetics.
Big forearms, powerful hips, follow-through.
He was never going to be the guy who would bunt the ball and lead off.
joe rogan
Right.
Sosa, same thing.
brendan schaub
Same thing, Barry Bonds, jacked to the gills.
joe rogan
But that might not necessarily translate into punching power, which is really interesting.
It's like they might just be really good at that, you know?
Punching power is a weird one, man.
It's a real weird one.
Kicking power is just as weird.
joey diaz
You think Elway could hit hard?
Because that motherfucker could throw hard.
brendan schaub
Again, that movement from the hips, all that same movement.
joey diaz
They said that when you, they had a documentary on him, the 83 draft, 30 for 30. Hells yeah.
And how they fucking slammed him, how they had to scam him up.
Like they had to pull, Steinbrenner had to draft him because he didn't want to go to Baltimore.
brendan schaub
Yeah, he didn't want to go to the Colts.
joey diaz
Tremendous shit, kinky shit.
But bro, this dude could stand on the warning sign.
That's a true story.
He could stand on the warning track, John Elway, take one step.
And put the ball right there in your glove at home plate.
joe rogan
Really?
joey diaz
That's deadly shit.
brendan schaub
Really?
joey diaz
Oh, you have no idea.
brendan schaub
There's a receiver.
joe rogan
How far is that?
joey diaz
Let's say 305, 305 feet.
joe rogan
305 feet, and is he going up in the air, or is it a straight line?
Just a bullet.
You have to throw so fast for that ball not to drive.
joey diaz
You have to watch some of the 30s.
He's a freak.
Or like that, it's very interesting how he didn't want to play for Baltimore.
So somebody went to Steinbrenner's office and they said, we'd like for you to draft John Elway.
Steinbrenner goes...
And he opened up the schedule for the fucking, the lineup for two, like three years later.
He had Elway starting in the right field already.
joe rogan
Here's why that's crazy.
Here's why being able to throw from the morning track into home plate is crazy.
If you took a baseball and you threw it and you shot a bullet...
They would both drop at the same rate.
So the bullet's only going to be in the air for a few seconds.
That's why you could be 200 yards away, put your crosshairs on someone, pull the trigger, and then boom, they die immediately.
It's because the bullet's traveling so fast.
But the drop is the same amount of time.
So it depends on how long it takes to get there, it's how far it's going to drop.
So, like, if you're shooting something from really far away, like, there's a lot of people that get into long-range shooting.
Like, they go on those ranges, they'll hit these plates, these steel plates that are, like, five, eight hundred, a thousand yards away, and you hear, bang!
Clink!
Like, there's a delay, a noticeable delay.
And in that delay, they have to calculate the drop.
So, like, if they're shooting at that plate, their reticle, where they aim, it has to adjust for the fact that this bullet is going to drop in the amount of time that it takes to get 800 yards.
brendan schaub
So they aim higher.
joe rogan
Yeah, so it's going to take a second or so, or half a second, whatever it is.
So they have to aim higher, so the scope adjusts for that.
If you're throwing a baseball, imagine how much slower that is than a bullet.
So you have to throw so fucking fast.
If you're throwing straight, if you're just going to throw straight and get into home plate, that motherfucker must be throwing a bullet.
It must be crazy.
brendan schaub
You know his receivers in Denver?
joey diaz
Yeah, the first three years.
Couldn't catch the ball.
brendan schaub
They couldn't catch the ball.
They would catch with their pads and it would be so hard.
It would leave imprints underneath their pads on their chest.
joe rogan
People are crazy.
And that's a known skill that some people just never develop, the ability to throw a fastball.
That's another one.
It's like punching power.
joey diaz
We discussed it last time, the dynamics of it.
brendan schaub
I'll tell you who I think it translates from if he threw a punch, a guy who was explosive as fuck and could throw and do it all, Bo Jackson.
joe rogan
Oh yeah, Bo Jackson could punch.
Have you taught Bo Jackson how to punch?
But, you know, here's another example.
unidentified
Herschel Walker.
joe rogan
Herschel Walker could punch like a motherfucker.
And he was a karate black belt.
I mean, he fought a bunch of MMA fights deep into his 40s.
Remember?
joey diaz
And jacked!
joe rogan
Jacked at like 48. Shredded.
Giant six-pack.
Not an ounce of fat.
Looks like a superhero.
brendan schaub
Looked like Yo Romero, but aged as fuck.
joe rogan
And didn't look old.
It was weird.
brendan schaub
Weird.
joe rogan
Real weird.
He still looks good.
He's in his 50s now.
Talking about having one more fight before he stops.
brendan schaub
Yeah, let's not.
But yeah, I hear you.
joe rogan
But why not?
Go to some small league.
brendan schaub
How about fucking Risen?
Did you see Gabby Garcia beat up that grandma?
joe rogan
I was gonna post it.
I was gonna post it.
I got the video.
I was just gonna post, what the fuck Japan.
unidentified
Have you guys seen it?
joe rogan
And then I thought about it.
I go, I can't do this.
eddie bravo
She was running.
The chick was running.
brendan schaub
The fuck was that?
eddie bravo
Can we see that?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Do you know where it is, Jamie?
eddie bravo
I gotta pee real quick.
joe rogan
Go ahead.
I gotta pee myself.
I'm gonna put it up on Instagram, Jamie.
And when I put it up on Instagram, you could just...
I'm just gonna put it up.
brendan schaub
Have you seen this, Joey?
joe rogan
And I'm gonna write...
joey diaz
You know who Gabby Garcia is?
brendan schaub
It's fucking...
It's huge!
joe rogan
Here, I'll put it up right now.
brendan schaub
She fights a straight-up grandma.
She comes out and is doing, like, the WWE off-the-rope stuff as she's coming out like it's a game.
joey diaz
You know my girl Jessica tapped fucking Gabby Garcia.
brendan schaub
Jessica who?
joey diaz
Flowers.
brendan schaub
Oh, really?
joe rogan
She did?
joey diaz
How?
brendan schaub
In competition?
Oh, at Worlds?
joe rogan
Okay, I just posted it, so if you go to my Instagram, Joe Rogan, you'll see, it just says, WTF Japan, WTF Japan, and you see this one woman...
Powering jack to the tits.
Looks like Jose Canseco in 1984. Oh my god.
brendan schaub
Look at that old lady.
joe rogan
And she fought a 50-year-old woman who looked like she hasn't worked out in a year.
And she looks so scared.
brendan schaub
Can we get a GoFundMe so she doesn't have to do this shit?
joe rogan
Well, that woman looks so scared, too.
brendan schaub
Hell, I'd be scared.
joe rogan
Can you refresh that?
unidentified
God!
joe rogan
Oh look, she knees her in the body, oh my god, and punches her in the face.
I mean, and mercifully, Gabby Garcia is not the most vicious striker in the world.
brendan schaub
Not the friendliest.
joe rogan
Oh, well, she had to do what she had to do.
brendan schaub
Why would you take that fight?
joe rogan
Gabby?
unidentified
Yes.
joe rogan
For easy cash.
brendan schaub
I understand easy cash, but god damn.
joey diaz
And look at this poor lady.
joe rogan
Well, that must have been some...
joey diaz
If she had moved to North Hollywood and given massages, or fight Gabby Garcia.
Look at this poor lady.
They told her, you're going to fight her?
I'll go to North Hollywood and suck dick.
joe rogan
I don't even think they give her the option.
I think they just delay the trip to North Hollywood.
Watch this.
Look how scared she is.
Look at her big deep breaths while she's looking at Gabby's body.
Gabby's like 6'4".
She's legit 6'4", probably 240. All natural.
Oh, totally natural.
Because all steroids are natural.
They all come from Earth.
brendan schaub
What the fuck is going on, Japan?
joe rogan
So crazy.
brendan schaub
What are you doing?
joe rogan
So crazy.
brendan schaub
Why is that grandma even in there?
It's so rude.
And if I'm Gabby Garcia, I'm like, I just can't, man.
I'm gonna win no fans if I do this.
joe rogan
Well, I don't think most people have seen this.
brendan schaub
I bet she's got the Sakuraba knee braces on and shit.
joe rogan
Yeah, what is the reason why she did it?
This lady.
You gotta wonder.
Look how scared.
brendan schaub
She's scared right now.
joe rogan
She shook her hand after it's over.
Maybe she was a pro wrestler or something.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I think she was a pro wrestler.
joe rogan
They probably gave her a big-ass payday to lose a few years of her life.
unidentified
What the fuck?
joe rogan
Yeah, what the fuck indeed.
I will say this, that's the worst Japanese freak show I've ever seen.
Because that was a woman who did not belong in there at all.
brendan schaub
I'll say this, that's the worst fight I've ever seen.
That's the worst I've ever seen, ever.
joe rogan
The most brutal mismatch ever.
Yeah.
It's horrible, man.
unidentified
Horrible.
joe rogan
But Gabby's a jiu-jitsu black belt.
Why didn't Gabby just grab ahold of her and choke her?
I mean, she could have easily and not even hurt the old lady.
joey diaz
People will pay to watch anything on New Year's Eve.
unidentified
I know, but I mean, if you're Gabby, if you're Gabby and you're looking at that...
joey diaz
If I call you up and say, listen, I know a guy that wants to fuck his dog.
You want to come over for five hours?
joe rogan
New Year's Eve?
joey diaz
New Year's Eve.
As long as I make it to where I gotta go by midnight, I'm solid.
joe rogan
Did you ever see one of those videos when you were a kid?
Did you know anybody that had a VHS of Barnyard Betty?
joey diaz
No.
brendan schaub
What the fuck's Barnyard Betty?
joe rogan
My friend Billy, when I was like 20, I guess, got a VHS tape of this chick.
That got fucked by animals, and we went to his basement.
He had to hide it, so he had to like go get it, and then we had to meet down the base, and then one of us had to watch the door.
It's a process.
So that no one would, you know, one of the parents like, so one of us was like on the stairs like looking down, you know like railings in the basement?
There's like the fucking gap between the stairs and the railings.
So I don't remember who it was, but he was like on the stairs like watching the TV through the gap because he had to be the guy with his arm up and In case the door opened.
Because we're watching this chick blow a fucking dog and blow a horse and get fucked by a donkey and all this different crazy shit.
brendan schaub
Same lady or multiple women?
I don't know.
joe rogan
It was so grainy and so hard to tell, but it was real.
I mean, she really was like letting a dog fuck her.
She was like letting a pig fuck her.
It was horrible.
It was horrible.
brendan schaub
I remember faces of death.
I couldn't even finish it.
I was so scared.
joe rogan
I've seen them all.
brendan schaub
You've seen them all?
joe rogan
Remember the one when they tied the dude between two trucks and pulled him apart?
brendan schaub
I don't remember that one.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was in the Middle East.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I didn't get that one either.
You had that X-rated shit.
joe rogan
I took it off.
joey diaz
I remember the one with the guy that the newscaster that was walking backwards and the alligator got him.
One minute he was like, we're here at the...
You know, Clearwater, Florida, to see the raining of the ducks.
And the guy's going deeper and deeper and deeper.
All the children are here and often just see the guy go, stop it, stop it!
And somebody comes and throws a blanket like a leg pops up.
joe rogan
Oh my God.
brendan schaub
I remember the guy hang gliding and he had like the camera and he's hang gliding and just goes into that fucking swamp and then just crocodiles.
joe rogan
Oh Jesus Christ.
joey diaz
The one with the guy hanging the power.
You ever see when you're driving and those guys are hanging the terminals and they show the guy doing something and a bolt.
Just blowing him up and him just like his hair going on fire and him just dropping.
Like they showed a monkey in China where you go to a restaurant and you hit a monkey in the head.
brendan schaub
I don't like that shit.
joey diaz
Remember that one?
You hit him in the head.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's awful.
eddie bravo
How about that one satanic ritual where they supposedly ate?
brendan schaub
That's fake, though.
eddie bravo
That was fake?
joe rogan
Yeah, that one's fake.
There was a few of those that they did where they staged stuff, where they were pulling out the guts.
eddie bravo
Yeah, and then they started eating it.
joe rogan
It looked fake and cheesy, but that poor monkey was really screaming, man.
They were hitting him in the fucking head.
God damn.
eddie bravo
That's a hard thing.
joe rogan
By the way, that's all before they knew that eating primate brains is like super bad for you.
brendan schaub
Is it?
joe rogan
Fuck yeah.
Primates have prions in their brains.
That's where you get mad cow disease.
Like mad cow disease or Jacob Cruxfeld, however you say it, that disease comes from eating the same tissue as the species that you are.
So that's why cows get it.
Cows get it from eating brain tissue of other cows.
Like you feed cows.
That's one of the horrible things about industrialized farming is they would actually take whatever the fuck is left of the cow they're not using and they grind it up and feed it to fucking cows.
Cows that are straight vegetarian that are only supposed to be eating grass.
They're not even supposed to eat corn.
When we eat corn it fucks them up and they're feeding them cow brains.
They're feeding them their own bodies.
It was hard, and that's how they got mad cow disease.
joey diaz
What about your cat brains?
That's okay.
joe rogan
That's okay.
Your cat brains are good.
joey diaz
My mother used to slice them thin, bread them with Italian progresso and deep fry them.
God damn, a little bit of fucking lemon.
joe rogan
My uncle Vinny used to cook them on the grill.
Cook what?
brendan schaub
Hold up!
joe rogan
Lamb brains, calf brains, calf.
brendan schaub
What the fuck are we talking about?
joe rogan
Brains of a cow.
brendan schaub
Oh, I thought you said cats.
unidentified
Calf.
Calf.
Oh, shit.
joey diaz
I'm sorry.
unidentified
Oh, Joe!
joey diaz
The fuck is going on here?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
joe rogan
That's such a small scoop of cat brains.
unidentified
I know, I was like, what?
brendan schaub
I thought you were a cat guy.
joe rogan
What the fuck?
No, no.
joey diaz
You could, you could.
Oh my God, my mom used to slice those cat brains.
Calf.
brendan schaub
I heard cat.
unidentified
Cow.
joey diaz
I'm sorry, dog.
brendan schaub
Yeah, what the?
joey diaz
And you squeeze lemon on them, and if I give them to you and go, go ahead, eat that chicken cutlet.
You'll go, Joey, these are the best chicken cutlets I ever fucking had.
And I'll go, they're not chicken cutlets.
They're cow's brains.
joe rogan
Yeah, cow brains.
joey diaz
It's delicious.
joe rogan
It's good, man.
It's really good.
Don't feed it to another cow.
There's a thing called prions, and those are what the problem is.
And these prions, here's what's really crazy.
It's almost like nature has a foolproof way that has cow's brains.
Nature has a foolproof way of making sure it fucks you up with these prions.
Because these prions can exist at a thousand plus degrees for a long time.
So you can't cook them out.
They exist at a temperature way above anything you're ever going to expose your food to.
And they can, I think, find out how long prions can exist at over a thousand years.
It's something stunning, like hours, hours at a thousand degrees.
So you're not going to kill them.
So if you got them in your food, if you're eating, and where they found this also, not just in mad cow disease, but in New Guinea, in cannibals.
When they find cannibals, they exhibit the same sort of neurological issues where their whole body starts shaking.
Like with Jacob's Kruxfeld, it's a lot like Parkinson's.
They start fucking shaking.
It's a neurological disease.
Those prions from eating brain matter from human beings, it actually gets into your system and just fucks you up.
Apparently you can eat meat, though.
You can eat human meat.
It doesn't do anything.
brendan schaub
And you're fine?
joe rogan
Yeah, it's human brains that's the real issue.
It's just...
brendan schaub
Who the fuck is eating human brains?
joe rogan
A lot of people, man.
I mean, there was one of the best pieces of evidence that human beings and homo sapiens preyed on Neanderthals was finding Neanderthal skulls with their brains scooped out.
They had scratch marks on the inside where people were scooping out the brains.
eddie bravo
They had spoons?
joe rogan
They had rocks.
They had whatever the fuck they could use to scoop stuff up.
But they're scraping.
You know, when you're getting a brain, there's that connective tissue is the shit that all goes wrong when you get knocked out too many times.
And that connective tissue is this fibrous matrix that holds the brain in place.
And they're scraping that shit away with a rock or something.
joey diaz
Is that like a gel that covers your brain?
brendan schaub
The fluid, yeah?
joe rogan
There's fluid, but there's also like tissue.
There's like fiber.
eddie bravo
Well, maybe it was raccoon scratch and shit, you know?
No, no.
joe rogan
It's tools.
It's like deep bone scratches.
brendan schaub
Some gnarly-ass raccoons.
joe rogan
Well, they've figured out...
They know the difference between what the characteristics of predatory stuff, like an animal that's gnawing on bones, and real obvious slices that came from a tool, like when human beings made those flint tools and shit like that.
So they've done enough of those tests where these archaeologists can examine these flint marks on bones and with a very high degree of certainty tell whether or not someone's using a What's one of the more interesting things about Egypt, in fact, is because there's some artifacts in Egypt that are so perplexing.
When I had John Anthony West on the podcast, he and I had some conversations about it.
It was really interesting because they don't know how the fuck they carve these things out.
There's some vases, vase, vase.
That they made out of stone that Exhibit like looks like someone cut them with a diamond like some diamond headed drill like they don't they literally don't know how they did it because it's missing all the characteristics of that you would normally get from someone making something like this like the the hole at the front is too small and it goes inside and it's all smooth inside It's like how the fuck did they did this they did it all out of stone They carved it all out of one piece of stone so they can see stuff like They found some other things,
different holes in things that they're pretty sure.
They used some sort of, if not a diamond drill, some kind of a drill with an incredibly hard tip.
But, so they know.
They know that people were eating Neanderthal brains.
Which is fucked up.
joey diaz
It's fucked up.
joe rogan
It's fucked up.
But it makes sense.
You know, I mean, we know the Donner Party, they fucking ate each other, and they knew each other, and they ate each other.
eddie bravo
How about that movie, Alive?
joe rogan
Yeah.
eddie bravo
Remember that plane that went down in Argentina?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Dude, you get hungry, you do whatever the fuck you gotta do to stay alive.
eddie bravo
That movie was not...
joey diaz
Bro, imagine if we didn't go down to the plane and everybody started looking at me and shit like, dog.
Joey got some good ribs.
eddie bravo
I wonder how long it takes.
How many days of no food does it take before you start looking at other dudes and you're like, damn.
unidentified
Like his shoulder starts looking good.
joe rogan
Well, it's also like if you were with your friend and you were like trapped somewhere, you would have to think like, okay, if I eat this dude, I have to live with that for the rest of my life.
Like even if you guys drew straws, like you said, okay, one of us is going to live, one of us is going to die.
If I come up short, I'm jumping off this fucking cliff.
You climb down the bottom and eat me.
You make an agreement with someone who's so gangster, they actually fall through that.
Some Matt Brown type character.
So if you did do that, you probably were going to die anyway, eventually.
But on your way, you'd be so ridden with guilt.
And even if you made it, even if you made it home, you'd still be thinking you'd be fucked for the rest of your life.
What kind of a life do you even have now that you ate your buddy?
eddie bravo
That'd be a good time to know jujitsu, right?
In a plane crash and you're trying to survive up in the mountains if there's 20 people.
After a while, you just put a little...
joey diaz
Nah, you'd be weak.
You can't do no fucking jujitsu if you ain't eating.
brendan schaub
Don't they say after 21 days without foods when you start getting fucked up?
That's that naked afraid shit.
Three days with water, 21 without food, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, well, you're fucked up pretty much right away, but your body goes into a state of ketosis and it eats off as much fat as you have.
The more fat you have, the better.
You know, we don't think about that with our carbohydrate-rich diets.
Look at this.
What are you showing me, Jamie?
Survival is a last resort in the case of one group, adrift in a lifeboat, 116 passengers, 116 days passed without food before the party turned to eating human flesh.
In most cases, anything even remotely resembling food was...
First eaten, dogs, candles, leather, shoes, and blankets are all consumed first before cannibalism becomes the only recourse for survival.
eddie bravo
Leather?
Shoes?
They eat shoes and blankets?
joe rogan
Yeah, blankets.
eddie bravo
They fucking eat it?
unidentified
Oh, shit.
joe rogan
Jesus.
That's dark.
eddie bravo
What you do is you rear-naked choke one dude and just say, hey, look, you fucking had a heart attack.
And then you always have another body and you're in charge of that body and you keep telling people...
joey diaz
Yeah, but if you choke him out, if you choke him out, his body goes into fucking...
then the meat's gonna be tough.
eddie bravo
Whatever.
joey diaz
You know what I'm saying?
It's like when you shoot a deer the wrong way.
So you gotta let him die of natural causes, then the meat's tender.
Then you cut a little slice off, a leg, and you fucking tenderize it.
You gotta wait.
joe rogan
It's always like, I'm aging him.
joey diaz
You gotta age me?
joe rogan
I thought you were gonna kill this guy.
No, no, no, I'm killing him with kindness.
joey diaz
Yeah, you gotta kill him with kindness, because if you stab him, then the meat is gamey.
Gamey.
Now, bro, my buddy called me.
Did some guy go see you in Colorado?
He invented a bullet.
That as soon as it hits the duck, it has marinated in it?
unidentified
What?
joey diaz
Have you heard about this shit?
Or a bow and arrow?
I swear to God.
joe rogan
It has a marinade?
joey diaz
Something for duck that when you shoot the duck, as soon as you hit it, the marination goes in it.
I swear to God.
unidentified
That's so silly.
joe rogan
That's so ridiculous.
joey diaz
Yeah, something crazy.
joe rogan
I don't think that would work.
joey diaz
And he hit me up and I go, he's in Denver this weekend.
Go see him.
joe rogan
That guy might be nuts.
eddie bravo
What if the marination goes bad?
joe rogan
The thing about marinade is...
Yeah, that's a good point too.
joey diaz
I don't know what the fuck it was.
It was marinated or salt and pepper.
eddie bravo
You gotta keep the bullets in the freezer.
unidentified
Salt and pepper's here and we're in a fix.
eddie bravo
You gotta keep the bullets in the freezer, I think.
brendan schaub
God, Doug, sounds like a bad business plan, though, Joey, huh?
joe rogan
It sounds like a dude who's high on meth and comes up with a wacky idea that's not gonna sell.
brendan schaub
Come on, Rogan, I got these teriyaki bullets, bro.
joey diaz
That's what you have to do.
If you're gonna try cannibalism, shoot him with a teriyaki bullet.
joe rogan
But marinade is like, if you marinate a steak, you need like a pan, you fill it up with marinade, and you lay it in there, and the idea is it slowly works its way into the muscle, soaks in over like a day or two.
joey diaz
Let's say you shoot the duck, he's up in the air, he falls, by the time you get to him, it's two days later.
joe rogan
Two days later!
joey diaz
Let me get that sprayed, though.
Let's get the party started.
Let's get the party started.
eddie bravo
Hey, did you guys see that Krohn fight?
joe rogan
Yeah, man.
It was amazing.
eddie bravo
Man, Kawajiri's no joke.
That was the first big test, or first real test for Krohn.
joe rogan
Yeah, why don't you see if you can find that online?
Because I've only seen the finish.
I love the way he trapped the leg and caught him with Kawajiri.
He's trying to drop stomps on him and stuff, and he's off his back.
brendan schaub
The whole rising card was sick.
joe rogan
It was a great card.
eddie bravo
He pulled guard three times.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Why not?
brendan schaub
He's a freak.
eddie bravo
People frown upon it.
joe rogan
Well, he's another one, but he's another one, like we're talking about, that's like an elite specialist in this one area, you know?
I mean, he's not fighting anywhere in UFC type...
Was that at 45?
brendan schaub
I think he's 45. That was at 45, right?
joe rogan
Isn't he fighting at 45?
eddie bravo
I don't know.
brendan schaub
I'm pretty sure that was at 45. No way.
No way is Kawajira 45. That's like 55 or 70. That's Japan, so he might have weighed 45. Kawajira might have weighed 180. Did a grandma fight Gabby, for God's sake?
eddie bravo
No, he's not that light.
I think he's 55 or 65. Krohn probably walks at...
180. No!
Yes, of course.
brendan schaub
No way.
eddie bravo
Of course, he doesn't.
Abu Dhabi, 170. What do you think he walks around at?
unidentified
I think he walks at 170. He's, dude, he has size.
joe rogan
God, he's not 180. But when we had him on the podcast, he didn't seem that big.
He didn't seem 180, but he did seem 170. But I could be wrong.
eddie bravo
Yeah, you know what?
He could be 170, 175. What did they weigh in at, Jamie?
joe rogan
What weight he fought at?
Jamie will find out for us.
brendan schaub
Look at him.
joe rogan
He's got a figure and a kid t-shirt on.
brendan schaub
Look at that.
I'm not mad at that shirt.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
A Fighter and the Kid t-shirt by The Kid.
brendan schaub
Whoa.
joe rogan
Jamie, young, powerful Jamie.
It's good that they had that card, but didn't they have that card over three days?
Is that what happened?
brendan schaub
They had the heavyweight tournament over three days, right?
eddie bravo
That's kind of cool, right?
joe rogan
No, that's terrible for your brain.
brendan schaub
Not for Crow Cop.
eddie bravo
No, but for the audience.
It's like a new festival.
It's like a weekend thing.
joe rogan
It's like a festival.
eddie bravo
It's awesome.
joe rogan
It's really from that movie Warriors, the only time that existed in real life up until this.
brendan schaub
Yeah, this ain't the movies.
Guys are getting fucked up.
Except for Crow Cop.
joe rogan
Crow Cop.
42. Who did he beat?
brendan schaub
King Mo.
joe rogan
Time.
brendan schaub
He beat Father Time.
King Mo, Father Time, that Iranian monster.
joe rogan
Big ass Iranian from AKA. How did he knock him out?
Caught him with the left hand.
unidentified
Oh, shit.
joe rogan
He fucked King Mo up with the left hand, too.
He'd fuck King Mo up with some kicks to the body.
unidentified
Ooh!
brendan schaub
Nasty.
joe rogan
Threw some heat.
Look, in Ryzen, Krokop can go back to his old ways.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, there's no USADA in Japan.
As a matter of fact, they encourage it.
They're like, hop on, buddy.
brendan schaub
They're like, what are you doing?
jamie vernon
They both weighed in at 144.4.
unidentified
Kawajiri weighed 144.4, so basically 145. In Japan, you get suspended for not doing steroids.
joe rogan
That's crazy.
So Krohn is fighting at 145. Yeah, he's a small dude.
Listen, how crazy would it be?
eddie bravo
He got the fight to the ground so easily by just pulling guard.
There's no way he was going to take him down.
Kawajiri's got some serious wrestling.
He's a tough motherfucker.
joe rogan
Dude, how crazy would it be to see Krohn in the fucking UFC? That'd be sick.
eddie bravo
He's 4-0 now, 5-0.
joe rogan
But here's the thing.
Ooh, trapped that leg really nice.
eddie bravo
Look at that, look at that.
joe rogan
Beautiful job.
unidentified
Smart.
eddie bravo
Tracked him down, dude.
brendan schaub
He trains with the right camp to do it, too.
joe rogan
Yep.
joey diaz
Who's he training with?
brendan schaub
He's training with the Diaz brothers.
Melendez, Jake Shields, the Diaz brothers.
joe rogan
Jake Shields got, he lost to John Fitch yesterday.
eddie bravo
Look at that right there.
Pulled guard right there, no problem.
joe rogan
Big decision, though.
46-49.
eddie bravo
When he's here, he likes getting in this side guard.
I call it the cliff, but it's like a side thing.
It's a good position to get good at.
joe rogan
Ooh, good dexterity of that right leg.
Look at how he sneaks that right leg in and gets that butterfly under the armpit.
But if you go back, back up a little, Jamie, watch how he does that.
brendan schaub
He's such a savage.
joe rogan
Ooh, look how slick he is.
eddie bravo
He has him right there.
brendan schaub
He's such a savage.
joe rogan
Jamie, let's get rid of that TV this week.
We have this TV that's not designed for this.
eddie bravo
You know how classic these images are right here, dude?
joe rogan
Yeah.
eddie bravo
Against the ropes.
unidentified
Ooh, look at that.
joe rogan
Look at that.
eddie bravo
This is like forever shit right here, dude.
joe rogan
Look at it, he's thinking.
Should I die?
eddie bravo
This is where we saw Krohn rise, right here.
brendan schaub
Kyle Jerry's no punk either.
eddie bravo
Yeah.
This is his test.
brendan schaub
Look at him trying to flip over.
eddie bravo
And you know what?
He didn't even try to take him down.
He just kept pulling guard on him.
brendan schaub
Because he's doing like, I'm to the dance.
joe rogan
Kyle Jerry tried to kick him in the face from there, and then he went, how did he get his back here?
It's a compilation?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
That's interesting.
Yeah, Krohn's jiu-jitsu is just so next level compared to these guys.
Oh, there's no one even close.
Yeah, when you're fighting MMA guys, these guys, they're just not going to have the same kind of technique that he has.
You know, and he's gonna have to get there, though.
I mean, you see...
eddie bravo
Look at that.
joe rogan
Boom.
unidentified
Look at that.
eddie bravo
Easy takedown.
No problem.
I'll fight you off my back.
brendan schaub
Yeah, the UFC right now would be a little tough for him, but...
joe rogan
Fuck yeah, it would be.
brendan schaub
He's obviously on the right path.
eddie bravo
But the cool thing about pulling guard and having a guard good enough to make it a good idea is you could do it at any time to anybody.
unidentified
Trapped it again.
eddie bravo
Look, he...
joe rogan
Trapped it again that same way.
He catches that leg when the guy tries to kick him.
Look at that.
And Kawajiri's a tough guy.
eddie bravo
Can you rewind that again?
Let me see how he caught that leg.
unidentified
Let's see.
joe rogan
A little bit before that.
eddie bravo
Before that.
Right there.
joe rogan
Right there.
Catches it, wraps it up with his legs, and then uses it to sweep him.
Beautiful.
brendan schaub
Was his dad in his corner?
Oh yeah.
The legend was in the corner.
joe rogan
Look at this.
eddie bravo
This is classic ass shit right here, man.
brendan schaub
I'm not mad at the army green gloves, Ryzen.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's kind of cool.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
I just think that I just hope they don't continue with that three-man, three-day fight shit.
eddie bravo
The thing that's weird though, is look at his right arm.
Look at Kawajira's right arm, what it does right here.
It's not doing anything to defend.
Look, it's not really doing anything right there.
brendan schaub
You're in trouble.
eddie bravo
It's not doing anything.
It's like just hanging out.
His right arm, he kind of just...
Look at that shot.
joey diaz
What are you doing?
eddie bravo
Look at that shot.
Oh, you gotta put your hands to work.
There's his dad.
joe rogan
There's his dad.
Remember that?
The Fujita?
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
I mean, not Fujita.
eddie bravo
Funaki.
joe rogan
Funaki, yeah.
Funaki, yeah.
eddie bravo
Kyle Jury is legit, man.
This is a big statement for Crone.
unidentified
Look at him!
joe rogan
Yeah, crazy man.
What's really interesting is if he keeps going, you know, a couple more fights and continues with his stand-up training, you could easily see him fighting in the UFC in the next few years.
Easily.
eddie bravo
Or maybe he stays at Ryzen and they sign him to an exclusive.
brendan schaub
The Gracie's in Asia have such a big name.
Yeah, he's making bank.
He's probably making more money.
eddie bravo
I bet they'd sign him.
joe rogan
No, not right away with no fights?
unidentified
Krohn?
eddie bravo
Are we talking about the same thing?
joe rogan
Why do you think they would do that?
brendan schaub
I'm saying Krohn right now.
What are you guys talking about?
joe rogan
Beginning of his career.
brendan schaub
Before he started.
joe rogan
What Eddie's saying is that he went this way.
It's a smart way to go.
eddie bravo
He fought in 1FC, I think.
brendan schaub
He fought in 1FC, yeah.
joe rogan
Look, we would all be better off, everybody would be better off if Ryzen continued to blow up.
If they continued to blow up, it'd be just like Pride in the UFC back in the day.
It'd be great for everybody.
If they develop some sort of Fedor-type character, you know, if someone comes along that is like a legit consideration.
Fedor, in my opinion, is the only consideration for not only best pound for pound, but like best heavyweight ever that didn't fight in the UFC. Oh, yeah.
He's the only one.
I can't think of another one.
brendan schaub
I think Ryzen and Bellator.
If you have those three, if you have those three big dogs where even if American fighters want to stay in America and fight and not be in the UFC, you need Bellator to develop.
eddie bravo
Yeah, you got to pay attention to one FC, too.
I mean, that has nothing to do with Japan, Southeast Asia.
It's a whole different...
brendan schaub
Rich Franklin runs that bitch, doesn't he?
joe rogan
He's got some job over there.
eddie bravo
Wait, Rich Franklin?
No, Shotri.
No, no.
joe rogan
No, no.
Rich Franklin got some big executive job there.
eddie bravo
Oh, he did?
unidentified
Yeah.
eddie bravo
Oh, I didn't know that.
brendan schaub
Oh, yeah.
joey diaz
Let me ask you guys something.
Now, what's the situation with Cyborg, I think?
At this point to check.
joe rogan
She's pissed hot again.
brendan schaub
They're waiting to see what the commission does.
What kind of suspension.
She's getting at least a year.
joe rogan
At least.
What she pissed hot for is also an anti-androgen.
It's a DHT inhibitor.
I used to rub that shit in my head to prevent hair loss.
brendan schaub
They might give her three years.
joe rogan
It inhibits DHT. And it's also used by people who take steroids to diminish the effects of when females take steroids.
Diminish the effect.
It's also a masking agent.
So if you take steroids, some people take that stuff as a masking agent.
brendan schaub
She's 31?
joe rogan
It's also a diuretic.
So it's a very weird drug.
It's called spironolactane.
Lactane?
Lactone?
But it has many different uses.
brendan schaub
If she gets three years, that's no bueno.
joey diaz
What's her argument?
joe rogan
It's not a good argument.
All the arguments that she gave are not good arguments.
That she took something out of competition, that she was told by her doctor that it would be okay when it's clearly on the USADA banned list.
It's 100% banned.
It's not like...
There's certain things you could take out of contest.
Like, the big one's pot.
Like, say if they catch you tomorrow and you're supposed to fight in six months and you're smoking weed like crazy, and they test you and they go, look, we've got to test you.
You go, look, I just want to let you know I've been smoking a lot of weed.
They're like, okay, as long as it's not steroids.
That's why Jon Jones didn't get in trouble when he pissed hot for cocaine three weeks out of the fight with Daniel Cormier, because that's not in competition and it's not a performance-enhancing drug.
He's just partying, right?
So what this is, though, is a performance-enhancing drug.
Not just a performance-enhancing drug, but problematic in that it inhibits.
It's performance-enhancing in that it works as a diuretic.
You're not allowed to use diuretics.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
But it also inhibits their ability to detect steroids in you.
brendan schaub
She's in trouble.
joey diaz
She's in trouble.
brendan schaub
USADA is going to eat her ass up.
And if she gets three years...
joe rogan
Well, here's the thing.
eddie bravo
How old is she?
joe rogan
She's in her mid-30s.
brendan schaub
Mid-30s.
joe rogan
It's time to get going.
They tested her because she passed on three world title fights.
They had three world title fights lined up for her.
At 145, which is the weight class that she asked for, she said she couldn't make it in eight weeks, and so then they gave her more weeks.
brendan schaub
Skeptical hippolys.
joe rogan
Yeah, they gave her a third test, and they were like, something's up.
And whether or not they were going to test her anyway, who knows, but that's when they tested her, and that's when she pissed hot.
brendan schaub
It makes sense.
joe rogan
And she did not reveal before that that she was taking that.
brendan schaub
She's in trouble, man.
joe rogan
There it is.
brendan schaub
Have you seen the skeptical baby?
eddie bravo
That's huge, dude.
joe rogan
This is a skeptical baby now.
eddie bravo
I see that everywhere.
joe rogan
Skeptical baby.
brendan schaub
Look at that.
eddie bravo
Look at this baby.
brendan schaub
That's so funny.
joe rogan
This baby's like, bitch!
brendan schaub
Like, what the fuck?
unidentified
That's skeptical snake, so skeptical.
brendan schaub
With Cyborg, super skeptical.
unidentified
Skeptical fox.
brendan schaub
Have you seen the skeptical house?
That motherfucker's so skeptical.
unidentified
A skeptical house?
brendan schaub
And there's a skeptical Cadillac.
It's so ridiculous.
unidentified
A skeptical Cadillac?
eddie bravo
Look at the skeptical house!
joe rogan
What the fuck is that?
unidentified
Look at the skeptical house!
joe rogan
That's hilarious!
unidentified
How funny is that?
brendan schaub
Is that a real house?
unidentified
Yes!
brendan schaub
Those are windows!
joe rogan
What the fuck kind of window is that?
brendan schaub
Skeptical windows.
joe rogan
Do you think they did that on purpose?
brendan schaub
Hell no!
What's wrong with people?
joe rogan
It almost seems like that was an accident.
brendan schaub
It's so funny.
That is funny.
But with Cyborg, she gets three years, she's in trouble.
I find the incident too when Rhonda lost again and she's throwing shade at Rhonda.
unidentified
I'm like, bitch, you just got busted for steroids.
joe rogan
How do you throw shade at someone?
Well, she didn't get busted for steroids.
She got busted for a dihydrotestosterone.
No, no, no.
It's not a precursor.
It's a dihydrotestosterone inhibitor.
That's what it is.
brendan schaub
Inhibitor.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
And to me, my brain goes, you're in trouble.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
We know you're in trouble.
joe rogan
She certainly could be in trouble.
It's one thing if she got...
She said that she's got a bunch of issues because she really did wreck her body getting down to 140, which definitely does happen.
brendan schaub
Yeah, which I'm sure.
That seems fair to say.
joe rogan
The problem is when you wreck your body, like I think she's saying that she takes in too much water now and her body's like trying to hold on to water and that they gave her a drug to diminish the amount of water.
I talked to a couple of doctors about this.
I asked some questions, and they all gave me that snake face.
brendan schaub
They're all like, fuck.
unidentified
With her background, too, it's like, fuck, man.
joe rogan
You don't fuck with anything that's illegal, and you definitely don't fuck with anything that people use because they're women that take steroids.
Even if it's just a coincidence that you happen to be, you should look at every fucking label extremely carefully.
eddie bravo
Is that the worst cut of all time?
joe rogan
Yeah, it's one of them.
brendan schaub
What do you mean cut?
joe rogan
But here's the thing, man.
eddie bravo
Here's the thing cut of all time.
joe rogan
Fucking Diego Sanchez.
Diego Sanchez made 145. He fought him 185 in Ultimate Fighter 1. Kenny Floyd.
Here's the problem.
She fucking deadlifts 305 pounds a couple weeks after passing on fights.
She passes on the fight and then puts up Instagrams of her deadlifting.
Massive weight!
You know, there was whoever the fuck...
Handles her Twitter account because I wrote that up because me and Brett Akimoto were having a discussion about it on Twitter.
unidentified
I love that guy.
joe rogan
Very good dude.
We were having a little back and forth on Twitter about it.
And, you know, he said, isn't it weird that she's not fighting for the title?
And I'm like, what's weird is that she passed on the title fight and then post Instagram photos of her deadlifting.
And then she responded that it's just like what football players do when they're not in camp.
Excuse me?
And I'm like, what?
brendan schaub
You saw that Golden Snitch was like, what would you say?
joe rogan
Meanwhile, she's not writing that.
I'm looking at the English is perfect.
I'm like, this is not...
This is whoever works with her or her boyfriend or whoever the fuck handles the Instagram account.
I'm like, that's no excuse.
There's a lot of maintenance that you do that's not deadlifting 305 fucking pounds.
You do that to put on mass.
That is why you deadlift.
You deadlift to put on fucking mass.
She's got muto mass.
unidentified
She's got...
joe rogan
She's got plenty of mass.
She has no problem with mass.
That's not what she needs.
If she really wants to fight at 145 pounds and she needs more than eight weeks to make the weight, what she should be doing is long-term cardio and no weight lifting.
brendan schaub
I guess that's what she's doing too, though, Joe.
She goes, I do that, and then I run every morning.
joe rogan
Look at this, though, dude.
Come the fuck on.
eddie bravo
Those aren't as heavy as they look.
brendan schaub
Trying to develop that power, son.
eddie bravo
What the fuck are you talking about?
No, they're made out of light rubber.
brendan schaub
No, no, that's 300-something pounds, son.
joe rogan
That's 305 pounds, bro.
That's what she's doing.
eddie bravo
This is YouTube, though.
brendan schaub
Why did she tag Gabby Garcia?
eddie bravo
That's worse.
joe rogan
Gabby Garcia helped her.
brendan schaub
Gabby just started curling that shit.
joe rogan
They have the same doctor.
joey diaz
Fuck's sake.
joe rogan
The whole thing is awful.
It's awful.
It's awful.
Whoever the fuck is in her corner that let her post that video, I'd be like, hey, hey, hey, what are you doing with your phone?
What are you doing with your phone?
You're going to put that online?
Get the fuck out of here.
unidentified
Give me your phone.
brendan schaub
Because the golden snitch is literally just waiting in the dark.
joe rogan
Yeah, if he's looking at that, he's looking at a woman deadlifting 305 for reps.
brendan schaub
We're going there 6 a.m.
tomorrow morning.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Boom.
joe rogan
I mean, look, it is possible that you could get that big and that jacked without anything, but it takes a long fucking time, and that's what you're doing.
That's what you're doing all the time.
If you look at some of those CrossFit gals, some of those are on steroids, 100%, but some of them are not.
And you can get big if you have the right genetics and you do that kind of lifting.
But that kind of lifting is for people that want to put on power.
She's got ridiculous power.
Cyborg has some of the nastiest power you're ever going to see in women's MMA. Probably the most.
She has the full range.
She'll kick you and knee you and punch you and elbow you, whereas Nunes will kick you hard, but it's her punches that are fucking ferocious and scary.
brendan schaub
She doesn't hit hard in Cyborg.
joe rogan
No way.
brendan schaub
Cyborg hits you like Mike Tyson with braids.
joe rogan
Yeah, she hits girls and you see the cognitive shutoff.
brendan schaub
She makes world-class girls look like that grandma in Ryzen.
joe rogan
She's a beast.
It's just unfortunate that there's so much controversy.
Like, I would love if there was someone like Cyborg with no shade attached to it, no weirdness attached to it.
But now she's got these two strikes against her.
brendan schaub
Well, Amanda knew this.
She has no shade.
She knocks girls out.
She just murked Misha Tate.
You know, you're probably the number two most famous girl of all time in women's MMA. And she just murked the number one.
Here's your star with no shade.
Great person.
joey diaz
That's the other thing that's happening with the youth now.
That they're already coming up without that pride.
We were getting a lot of guys from pride in the beginning.
The juice was okay.
These new guys, Cody's and these Amanda Nunez's, they're going to come up straight up.
joe rogan
Right, right, right.
joey diaz
They're going to come up the right way, which is even scarier.
They're not going to flag.
There's not going to be no drama.
Maybe, I hope not, but that's what I'm saying.
joe rogan
You're going to see shorter careers for sure.
unidentified
That this new young generation, you know, I think in MMA you're seeing short careers anyways.
brendan schaub
To me, I feel the same way as you guys do with it's sad the way Ronda lost, but it's not that sad because she had such a great run.
She was a pioneer.
She was on the Mount Rushmore of MMA in general.
She was on Mount Rushmore.
It's really not that sad.
God damn, what an iconic run, man.
Sad is like a guy like Mark Coleman or a guy like if Mark Hunt were to retire.
That's sad.
People don't have money and fame.
She's sad, man.
It's not that sad.
She did some great shit, man.
joey diaz
She did great things, man.
joe rogan
You know what's interesting here that's going on?
It's like the Ronda fans, they're not MMA fans, a lot of them.
They're Ronda fans.
And so you see how they respond to stuff on Twitter, and you see the reaction and the things that they're saying, like...
brendan schaub
It's very emotional.
joe rogan
It's very emotional.
It's also almost like they don't understand.
They don't understand the sport, you know?
Get back on the horse, like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, fuck the horse.
No, listen to your mom.
Your mom's saying stop.
brendan schaub
Her mom's brilliant.
joe rogan
Yeah, and her mom's brutal.
She's so brutal.
She says, she goes, go let stupid people get punched in the face.
Sorry, stupid people.
brendan schaub
Her mom's brilliant.
And she's a doctor.
And the good thing for Rhonda, too, out of all this is she's going to find out who's in her corner.
There's been so many yes, men.
You know how it is in Hollywood.
When you're on set, you know how bullshit it is.
Your agents, these other people you're working with, these other celebrities telling you how good you are.
Well, now when you lose, that phone stops ringing and the texts stop coming.
Everyone asks you to dinner, you're going to find out who's in your corner.
That's probably what they might be good for her.
joey diaz
Now let me ask, what movies did she do the last two years?
Because I heard they cut her one thing down and the other one disappeared.
joe rogan
Who knows?
Who knows what kind of deal she has, but things definitely dried up substantially after the Holly knockout because she's not the same person anymore.
The thing about all those deals is when you're a winner in Hollywood and they start throwing all these movies at you and you're some athlete that's coming over...
It's all predicated on you being that person that they're selling, right?
What are they selling?
They're selling this undefeated women's ass kicker.
The likes you've never seen before, right?
Throwing people in their head, getting them in arm bars.
That's what they're selling.
Well, that's not you anymore.
Now you just got smashed by Holly and then smashed again by Amanda.
brendan schaub
Yeah, they can't sell your acting abilities.
unidentified
You're not going to be in Shawshank 2. You need acting 2. Did she do Roadhouse?
joey diaz
Did she redo Roadhouse?
brendan schaub
I don't know about any of that stuff.
I just know, to his point, where it's almost a good thing for her.
It really is, man.
It's not a sad story.
I don't find it as a sad story.
I really don't.
joe rogan
Well, it's definitely sad.
joey diaz
Well, she was an angel.
joe rogan
But it's not the saddest.
joey diaz
She did what she had to do and she disappeared, bro.
joe rogan
It's not the saddest story.
joey diaz
She leaves her all that money.
unidentified
It's no different.
brendan schaub
Do we feel sorry for Tiger Woods?
Like I said, when that foundation rocks, like, what do you think is different with Tiger?
His swing?
joe rogan
No.
His body?
No.
The difference is Tiger Woods didn't get the fuck beat out of him in 48 seconds.
brendan schaub
No, no.
I know.
And that's fighting.
But what I'm saying is their mentality changes.
unidentified
Right.
brendan schaub
Where Tiger was unstoppable.
And then something happens.
joe rogan
He's had that.
He had the scandal.
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
But then he also had some significant back injuries.
brendan schaub
Correct.
Or, okay, for a better example to your fight example, Mike Tyson.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's also wear and tear, too, man.
brendan schaub
Ah, yeah, you can say that.
For Ronda, too.
For Ronda, too, it's wear and tear.
joe rogan
I'll tell you why I can say that.
One of the reasons why is because the driver that I had this weekend in Vegas that took me to the airport was Mike Tyson's driver for 17 years.
He and I had a long conversation.
Cool dude.
I wish I could remember his fucking name.
Because I only met him for that brief ride to the airport.
But he was telling me how fucked up Tyson was after the Lennox Lewis fight.
He's like, dude, Lennox Lewis hit Mike, and Mike was fucked up for a long time for that.
And you don't think that.
You watch a guy get knocked out, you watch a guy get stopped, and Mike was talking after the fight, and he was like, hey, I'm done, it's over, and he stepped back.
But when he goes home, and he's alone, and the cameras are off, and he's got vertigo, and he's got equilibrium problems, and his ears won't stop ringing, and his head won't stop throbbing, you don't see that.
He's doing interviews, his head's throbbing, his ears are ringing.
eddie bravo
There was no internet back then.
brendan schaub
It's harder to hide nowadays, you know what I mean?
unidentified
Way harder.
eddie bravo
When you've got your daily thing that you do, and everybody, you've got your followers, and they all know your daily thing, and you guys are doing the daily things, and all of a sudden you disappear.
You disappear.
Everybody knows you disappear.
Back then, no one really knew.
You lost a fight.
You never really see him again.
joe rogan
But it's also, like, when you're suffering alone, the only way people find out is if you talk about it.
Like, we don't know what happens to a lot of these guys after they get beat the fuck up.
You know, here's one.
Terry Edom.
When Terry Edom got knocked out by Edson Barboza.
The wheel kick from another dimension.
It was the first wheel kick KO in the UFC and the worst wheel kick KO. It was fucking horrible.
And he has never been the same again.
brendan schaub
Does he still fight?
joe rogan
Yes.
He's fought a few times.
brendan schaub
I feel bad saying that.
joe rogan
But before that, Terry Edom was a bad motherfucker.
He was really good.
And Terry Edom was one of those kids that was coming up like a lot of other guys in the division.
He's looking like he might be a contender someday.
He's slick.
He's got a good kickboxing style.
He's got good submissions.
He works hard.
He's a smart fighter.
He's a good guy.
You meet him.
He's a gentleman.
You're like, this kid might have real potential.
unidentified
Yeah!
joe rogan
Yeah!
You get hit with those goddamn kicks.
brendan schaub
And it's life changing.
And that's why, to Dana's point, you make as much as you can when you're there, man.
That's why your boy Tony Ferguson holding out and being like, I need more money.
He could get wheel kicked.
The chance of it happening, not good.
But he could get wheel kicked.
So that's why he was like, dude, I need as much money as possible.
joe rogan
Well, he's not going to get wheel kicked against Nurmagomedov, but he could against Barboza.
brendan schaub
He fought Barboza.
joe rogan
He beat him.
That Barboza fight was amazing.
joey diaz
That was a good fight.
joe rogan
Oh, Turney's so fun.
Tony Ferguson is one of my favorite guys to watch, for sure.
unidentified
Oh, hell yeah.
joe rogan
He's so fun.
He's, like you said, he's a straight Barbarian.
brendan schaub
I hope they figure it out.
joe rogan
What's going on with that?
Because I saw he posted Instagram that he's in Big Bear.
eddie bravo
He's in Big Bear with his family, enjoying the snow.
joe rogan
Oh, just chilling?
eddie bravo
He's not training?
joe rogan
I thought he was going up there to train.
unidentified
I thought it was on.
eddie bravo
Not that I know of.
joe rogan
You know what they're trying to do?
They're trying to do Aldo and Nurmagomedov for a fucking interim 155. And I'm like, how do you have a 155 interim when Conor just won the 155 a week ago?
brendan schaub
What about Max, though?
What about Max Holloway?
joe rogan
Poor Max Holloway.
Well, he's got the interim 145. Such a shit show.
And Holloway is the interim.
brendan schaub
I don't give a fuck, because Aldo vs.
Negomurdov is sick.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's a great fight.
Well, especially when you see what happened with Michael Johnson.
Michael Johnson's stunned.
Habib.
You know, he stung him.
He hit him and stung him.
And Michael Johnson, with all due respect, is nowhere near the striker that Jose Aldo is.
Jose Aldo's on a totally different level.
brendan schaub
You think Jose's as powerful as Johnson?
unidentified
Explosive?
joe rogan
That's a very good question, because he's not as big.
He's been fighting at 145 his whole career, and he's going to be fighting a fucking gorilla.
brendan schaub
There's a difference between Johnson's bottom game and Aldo's bottom game.
unidentified
100%.
Aldo's will be way better.
joe rogan
Also, Aldo's kicks, they're a giant factor.
Because if Aldo, who has amazing takedown defense, fucking amazing, Aldo has some of the best takedown defense.
So he's also got fucking nasty leg kicks.
So if Nurmagomedov moves at him, What is this?
Who is this?
What are you showing me here?
Habib Nurmagomedov slams UFC for lying to the fans about Jose Aldo.
Demands relevant fight against...
Why is he saying he's lying to the fans?
unidentified
Let's see.
joe rogan
Let's see what he says here.
eddie bravo
Oh, shit.
joe rogan
No, it'll come back on.
This goddamn screen, dude.
It's clear to everyone that you hiding Connor from me...
But stop lying to your fans like I don't want fight with Aldo.
I'm ready to fight with anyone in my division.
Give me relevant fight so you won't...
First of all, take your phone away from your sister.
Somebody got this phone and making...
brendan schaub
No, he's definitely doing it.
joe rogan
The broken English is so rough, but I love it.
brendan schaub
It makes it more gangster.
joe rogan
Okay, you've never matched up.
What is it?
I can't see that, Jamie.
This thing's in front of me.
Oh, you've never matched up two guys with a 9-8 win streak in UFC. Never in UFC history.
Okay, that doesn't mean anything.
See, here's the problem.
brendan schaub
Sorry, Tony Ferguson is too expensive.
joe rogan
I see what he's saying, but let me explain why he's wrong.
They need big, relevant fights to sell pay-per-views right now.
brendan schaub
That's all they care about.
joe rogan
And here's the deal.
The UFC was purchased for $4 billion.
brendan schaub
Billion.
joe rogan
Imagine if you bought a...
I mean, you own a place, right?
unidentified
Correct.
joe rogan
You own your house?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know what a mortgage is.
brendan schaub
Sure do.
joe rogan
Mortgages are pretty cunty.
You look at them every month and go, Jesus.
Now, if you have a mortgage for a nice house and you spend a million bucks, That's a fucking nut you got to make every month, man.
You got to think about it.
You got to go, okay, we got the mortgages covered.
unidentified
All right.
joe rogan
And then you move on with all the other bills, right?
brendan schaub
Tell me about it, son.
joe rogan
Imagine a $4 billion house.
What kind of fucking mortgage?
brendan schaub
And how do we pay the bills?
By doing huge fights.
joe rogan
Huge fights.
brendan schaub
So we got to figure some shit out.
unidentified
Huge fights.
brendan schaub
Interim, interim, interim.
Everybody got a belt.
joe rogan
And the reality is, Jon Jones is suspended, and Jon Jones isn't even the champ right now.
So when he comes back, he's not even fighting for a world title, unless he fights for the world title.
So you gotta have...
DC has gotta be healthy, or you gotta have Jon fight for an interim.
Because they're just throwing interims out like they're fucking flyers that they put on your car when dudes are trying to sell car washes and shit.
joey diaz
It's a good time to be in the UFC. And my brother...
If they don't start getting these fucking cards selling, there's going to be another season of Fear Factor's going to be added on pretty soon.
brendan schaub
No, there's not.
No, there's not.
You're going to see CM Punk versus some Brad Pitt shit just to sell pay-per-views or some shit.
joey diaz
They'll do something, dawg.
joe rogan
I don't know what they're going to do.
You know, who knows if I'll be there for it.
But when you look at the title picture, that card that they have in Brooklyn, I mean, that's a pay-per-view card, and it looks like an FS1 card right now.
I'm sure they're going to juice it up.
They'll get more.
unidentified
You better be a die-hard fan to pay $60 for that shit.
joe rogan
It's hard.
It's hard to make those cards.
So I think we kind of nailed it when we were talking about it earlier.
Like, what guys sell pay-per-views?
I think Woodley is a bigger star now than he beat Wonderboy, but he still wants that big...
And Dana and I were having this conversation.
He's like, you can't have Nick Diaz.
He goes, Nick Diaz hasn't won a fight since 2011. You can't have him step in and just go right up to the title and fight.
brendan schaub
It sells, though, though.
joe rogan
That's what I said.
I said, but I want to see it.
And he goes, I want to see it, too.
But you can't just do that.
unidentified
You can't sell it.
brendan schaub
Well, no one's going to take the sport serious.
If you give a guy who hasn't won since 2011 or 12, give him a title shot.
Fans are going to be like, come on, bro.
joe rogan
You say that, but I think they missed the boat if they wanted to make the fucking big money.
It's Nick Diaz versus Conor McGregor.
brendan schaub
No, he's too big, brother.
joe rogan
Whatever, they fight at 170. Oh, come on!
brendan schaub
Connor fought at 170. His brother was too big for him.
joe rogan
Do you think he's too big?
brendan schaub
Way too big.
joe rogan
I think that talk is nonsense, because Connor's a 155-pound champ.
Nate fought at 155 most of his career.
He fought at 170 a couple of times, and he's undersized.
Dong Yong Kim beat him at 170. He's a good...
brendan schaub
He's a legit 170-er, though.
joe rogan
Especially now.
He's older now, too.
Maybe, but he fights 155 easy.
He looked great against Michael McDonald at 55. Tyron Woodley can't make 55. He looked great against Michael Johnson.
If his fucking life depends on it, Tyron Woodley's not going to make it 55. I know, and he's entertaining that fun.
The champ can't make 155 at 170. Nate can't.
brendan schaub
So Nate is not a real 170. Now here's to your point, and Dana's point, he hasn't won a fight since 2011, and you're going to have Conor, your cash cow, fight this monster who hasn't won forever?
joe rogan
It's a great story.
brendan schaub
It really is.
joe rogan
I love a great story.
Big Brother steps in?
Come on, son.
brendan schaub
I would watch it.
I would watch it, man.
But to your point, they have to figure something out to get these stars.
Because you can't do it overnight.
eddie bravo
To me, it doesn't matter.
You put Nick Diaz for what he's done out of respect, who's going to complain?
joe rogan
Well, apparently they offered Nick Diaz Robbie Lawler.
And Nick passed on it.
That's the word.
That's the word behind the scenes.
brendan schaub
Interesting.
joe rogan
Maybe I'm not supposed to say that.
But I wanted to see that fight.
I would love to see that rematch.
But I think Nick wants a fucking title fight.
I think Nick is like, look, I want a big, big name or a title fight.
brendan schaub
I love how they make these demands now.
joe rogan
He's got money.
Nick made some money.
He's not ridiculous.
He doesn't spend it all.
brendan schaub
Well, how about Nate?
I'm not answering the call unless it's $20 million.
joe rogan
Yeah, we talked about that.
brendan schaub
Get him, son!
joe rogan
We talked about that recently in the podcast.
I was like, well, let's break this down.
Because, like, let's say they do a million pay-per-view buys, which is, like, top end, right?
There's only a few people that have ever sold a million.
It's like Brock, Rhonda, Connor.
That's it, okay?
A million is top of the food chain.
So a million pay-per-view buys at $60, you're taking one-third right off the bat for Nate.
It's really hard to justify giving someone $20 million for a fight.
It's going to be real hard.
brendan schaub
Connor could demand that.
joe rogan
Conor's like one of the only guys that can get that kind of money.
brendan schaub
He's the only guy.
You think eventually guys will just start doing, like they get so big, like Conor.
He just does his own show and he gets his own people to produce.
No, the UFC lawyers are too good to let you get out of your contract to do that.
They realize that.
joe rogan
If Nate had a legit fight with someone other than Conor that was exciting, the problem is there's no one else in the division that's got that kind of marquee value.
brendan schaub
At 55?
joe rogan
Yeah, there's no one in the division that has the kind of marquee value that if you had a...
Look, I think Nate is a fucking huge star.
Especially now.
I mean, after he beat Conor, he's one of the biggest stars outside of that upper echelon pay-per-view level.
brendan schaub
I give him top ten.
joe rogan
But he's not a world title holder right now.
brendan schaub
No.
joe rogan
So, if you wanted to really have a big fight for Nate, you would have to have him, that would work.
brendan schaub
Have him fight Aldo.
joe rogan
That would work.
brendan schaub
And the winner of that fight's color.
joey diaz
Is GSP ever coming back?
joe rogan
GSP, apparently, they couldn't work out the deal with the Reebok deal.
Like, he's got a deal with Under Armour.
He's got a big deal with Under Armour.
He makes a lot of money through Under Armour.
brendan schaub
Monthly shit.
joe rogan
Yeah, and so he couldn't work out a deal that was worth it to him.
There was an offer on the table.
He didn't like it.
They're still talking.
He still says he wants a fight.
But if the UFC, now that they've lost Ronda, most likely lost Ronda.
We don't know what happens.
brendan schaub
She's not the same draw anymore.
joe rogan
She's definitely not the same draw anymore.
It's a tough sell.
Definitely a tough sell.
But, I mean, who fucking knows, a year and a half down the line, she's still only, what is she, 29?
joey diaz
She's 30. I think Rhonda can still get pay-per-views if she comes back in a year.
brendan schaub
For sure, but it's not the same.
It's not the same.
joe rogan
That babysitting money flows like water.
brendan schaub
For sure.
joey diaz
People will not want to watch it even more.
brendan schaub
But she's not fighting anytime soon, so you can't bank on her as part of your stable.
joey diaz
No, no, no, no, no.
brendan schaub
So you got to move on from it.
If she comes, great.
Let's keep going.
You know what I'm saying?
joe rogan
Yeah.
It's interesting, man.
It's a crazy sport.
It goes up, it goes down, it moves all over the place.
brendan schaub
Every sport's like this, though.
joe rogan
Here's the other thing.
When is Brock Lesnar back?
I mean, if Brock Lesnar's suspended...
brendan schaub
The first of never.
joe rogan
That's not true.
brendan schaub
God damn it, son.
joe rogan
Listen, he only got suspended for clomiphene.
Clomiphene, even though it enhances steroids, your recovery from steroids, because it reduces estrogen.
brendan schaub
It's post-psychotherapy for steroids.
joe rogan
It's definitely not good.
But it also exists in a bunch of different supplements, like over-the-counter stuff.
brendan schaub
Hey, man, a jargon he wasn't taking?
joe rogan
No.
No, I'm not.
No, I'm not.
What I'm saying is, how much time do you think they're going to give him off?
Like, how much time are they going to...
brendan schaub
How many times are we going to let him not do the USADA test and go in there and beat up a guy?
joe rogan
But no, no, no.
He'll have to do the USADA test again.
unidentified
He didn't last time.
joe rogan
Because the last time he did it, they had a couple exemptions where they can get in on the four-month thing that they built in in case they wanted to make a big fight where they could sign somebody.
So that one obviously blows up in their face.
And...
He's gonna get suspended, but how long?
For how long?
brendan schaub
I thought they gave him a year and $225,000 fine.
joe rogan
Is that what it is?
brendan schaub
Pretty sure.
joe rogan
Okay, so that's from what?
July?
brendan schaub
Yeah, it's all...
joe rogan
That's retroactive.
brendan schaub
Yeah, retroactive.
joe rogan
So that ain't that long from now.
We're in January, February, March, April, May, June, six months.
brendan schaub
Then the heavyweight division needs him.
joey diaz
Fuck yeah!
brendan schaub
John Jones, first heavyweight fight, Brock Lesnar.
joey diaz
You're welcome.
brendan schaub
Can you imagine that fight?
John would murk him.
joe rogan
Do you think so?
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
He'd murk him in the grappling?
brendan schaub
I think you're just completely down there.
joey diaz
I think fucking Steopik would fucking wreck him.
You piss that motherfucker off in Cleveland and he'll fuck Brock Lesnar.
Because he'll say it.
You better do the fucking steroids.
Steopik is crazy.
I love that motherfucker.
I love him.
He's got that immigrant mentality.
Bring him on.
He's born in America.
Give him more fucking steroids.
What's that?
joe rogan
He's born in America.
joey diaz
Yeah, whatever the fuck he is, but his name is Miocic.
brendan schaub
Definitely born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, but whatever.
joey diaz
He's got that fucking crazy blood in him.
And he don't give a fuck.
joe rogan
He proved it.
joey diaz
Listen, he proved it with fucking Overeem.
He don't give a fuck.
Put him in there with Brock Lesnar.
Go ahead, I dare you.
brendan schaub
The Brock that fought Mark Hunt.
joey diaz
Yeah.
brendan schaub
That juice to the gill, fucking Brock Lennon, who just ragdolled poor Mark Hunt, fucking guy.
joe rogan
Yeah, but Mark Hunt's never been the kind of grappler that Stipe is.
Stipe's way better at defending takedowns.
brendan schaub
Oh, no, I think Stipe beats him.
joey diaz
And you know what?
If he punches Stipe in the face, it's going to get more steam out of his fucking ears.
joe rogan
And you saw what Stipe did to Mark Hunt.
joey diaz
He won't land a hit on Stipe.
Brock Lesnar ain't coming back.
Brock Lesnar ain't never coming back.
joe rogan
Well, he's not going to come back and fight for a world title right away.
joey diaz
You don't think so?
unidentified
No.
No.
joey diaz
That was the biggest embarrassment of the fucking year.
That was the biggest fucking embarrassment of the year.
brendan schaub
Why would that be?
joey diaz
Embarrassment, bro.
joe rogan
What was embarrassing?
joey diaz
Just embarrassing him against Mark Hunt.
They knew he was on the juice.
He went in there loaded to the gills.
It was just an embarrassing fucking thing.
It was an embarrassing thing for everybody.
And Mark Hunt had every fucking right to be mad.
They put him in there with a guy that's coming off rocket fucking fuel.
That dude just don't eat D-ball.
Look at the size of his fucking head.
He's taking shit that makes your fucking That's what they give the fucking pitbulls.
I hope they put them against Mayo chicks.
I will fly to fucking Cleveland.
unidentified
That gum is climbing out of your mouth.
joey diaz
I found this knot in my nose that was bigger than this gum.
They had to take the gum out to eat it.
Anyway.
unidentified
You ate a booger?
joey diaz
Oh, it was so long.
It was like a coke booger.
I got a flashback from the 80s.
I inhaled that motherfucker anyway.
joe rogan
Why did you eat a booger?
joey diaz
Because I love him.
I love them.
From time to time, I have a little pimple.
joe rogan
What the fuck is wrong with you?
joey diaz
And I squeeze it, and it just comes out like a stream.
And it's got like a little clam.
unidentified
I was on board with you with all the Stephen A talking shit.
joey diaz
Do you really eat boogers?
Listen, from time to time, when you do coke for 30 years, it's a habit.
You wake up in the morning, pick one out.
It's like a fucking candy cane with coke on it.
You inhale that motherfucker.
It's like going to the dentist for free.
joe rogan
I will throw up on this fucking table.
eddie bravo
Do you ever do this?
joey diaz
I feel lightheaded.
eddie bravo
While you're eating boogers.
joey diaz
Let's be honest with ourselves.
We're all friends here.
That was the most embarrassing fucking thing I ever seen.
brendan schaub
I agree.
joey diaz
They knew he was on it, and they put that fucking animal in there, okay?
And you know what, man?
Go ahead.
Keep doing those steroids.
Put him in there against Spielberg.
Whatever.
I love that Cleveland motherfucker dude.
brendan schaub
Stipe.
unidentified
Just call him Stipe.
brendan schaub
He'll kill him.
joey diaz
He'll fucking kill him in general.
joe rogan
I don't think they would ever be able to have him come off a suspension and fight for the title.
That's not how it goes.
brendan schaub
They've done it before.
joey diaz
Four billion dollars.
They'll eat a scab off an Iranian's head right now.
Four billion dollars.
Right now, they're fucking sitting there going, we lost Ronda.
joe rogan
Take the gum out of your mouth.
You're driving me crazy.
joey diaz
Give me a tissue.
We lost Ronda, and the only other thing we got is fucking Conor.
He's having a baby.
He don't want to fucking come back.
brendan schaub
No.
joe rogan
He's talking about he might come back right after the first of the year.
joey diaz
Yeah, but they don't want to give him who he's supposed to fight.
joe rogan
Who's he supposed to fight?
joey diaz
He's supposed to fight that fucking Khal Habib.
End of story.
End of story.
No more fucking around.
brendan schaub
But they would give him that.
joey diaz
No more fucking around.
Well, then let's do it.
Let's set it up.
brendan schaub
No, that's not a money fight.
eddie bravo
Yeah, I'm with Joey.
Let's fucking do it.
joey diaz
Let's fuck that shit.
You don't need to fight Aldo.
You don't need to fight nobody.
He's number one, right?
Or is your boy number one?
eddie bravo
Tony?
brendan schaub
Khabib's number one.
joey diaz
Okay, then that's the fight.
Enough.
joe rogan
But wait a minute, Tony was number one, and then Khabib became number one.
Why did Khabib leapfrog Tony?
eddie bravo
I don't know.
brendan schaub
Who knows the rankings?
joey diaz
Those two should really fight.
joe rogan
But he's only fought a couple times in the past X amount of years.
brendan schaub
Khabib's number one.
joey diaz
Well, that's the thing he did.
Listen, he's fighting now.
He's available today.
He's available today.
He's available for Brooklyn.
He said it when he fought against Michael Johnson.
He's available for fucking Brooklyn.
Okay?
He's available for Brooklyn.
joe rogan
Interesting.
joey diaz
Let's get Eddie against Raphael.
That's a good fight.
Let's get Edson back in there.
People like watching him.
brendan schaub
Eddie and Raphael just fought.
joey diaz
Let's get Bonio DeRius in there.
We got some fucking people here, okay?
eddie bravo
Yeah, a lot of good guys here.
joe rogan
We got a lot of everywhere.
eddie bravo
Where the fuck are they?
brendan schaub
Why aren't they fighting?
joey diaz
This guy here, this kid here, he sells pay-per-views.
joe rogan
Donald Cerrone.
joey diaz
Not 300,000.
But he's always good.
unidentified
But he's fighting at 170. Robbie Lawler, that guy there is good.
joey diaz
They got it.
eddie bravo
Joey needs to be the matchmaker.
joey diaz
They fucking got it, okay?
brendan schaub
Well, no.
joe rogan
Yeah, man, it's an interesting situation, isn't it?
joey diaz
They got plenty of good fucking fighters.
eddie bravo
They got a whole shitload of them.
joey diaz
They just don't want to give us the fights we want to see.
brendan schaub
No, they don't.
joe rogan
That's the fucking problem.
What fight don't they want to give you?
joey diaz
I want to see Khal Habib.
That's the fight.
brendan schaub
Habib.
unidentified
That's it.
joey diaz
End the story.
There's no Aldo.
There's no Tony Ferguson.
There's no babies.
There's no nothing.
joe rogan
But he has a baby.
joey diaz
Brooklyn.
joe rogan
But he's got a baby.
brendan schaub
But it's also not a big draw for him.
It's not a big draw for him, Joey.
You got three babies.
joey diaz
I throw 20 million on you.
The babies wait six weeks.
joe rogan
But Conor's already got 20 million.
That's the difference.
He wants to take time.
His life is more important than what the UFC wants.
He's running the show.
joey diaz
I agree with you.
unidentified
He's running the show.
joey diaz
Then May 5th, Memorial Day weekend.
Let's call Habib and him.
joe rogan
Habib.
joey diaz
Say it.
brendan schaub
Habib.
joe rogan
Habib.
joey diaz
Habib Nurmagomedov.
Give Ferguson Saron.
Let's have some fun.
Give Ferguson Saron.
Let's have some fucking fun.
brendan schaub
That's a fight.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
Saron is not fighting 55 again.
joey diaz
I didn't say that, but we're all mixing.
We're all mixing weights right now.
Did we not say that before?
They want to put Aldo against Khabib.
joe rogan
But no, Aldo's thinking about moving up anyway.
joey diaz
Moving up anyway, so who gives a fuck?
joe rogan
It seems like he's kind of chasing like a chess move.
Yeah, he's chasing.
brendan schaub
He's chasing.
He wants that fight.
joey diaz
He wants that fight.
That's what everybody wants to see again, whatever the fucking order is.
But the order that they're trying to put together is the order that I don't want to see.
brendan schaub
Well, because they have to sell pay-per-views, Joey.
joey diaz
They're going to do this, okay?
This is the route, you fucks.
The rap they want to do is they're going to bring him back against fucking the black dude at 170. That's the fight.
joe rogan
Tyron Woodley?
joey diaz
That's already been made at the thing.
That's going to come together.
joe rogan
Slow the fuck down.
joey diaz
Watch it.
Watch it.
joe rogan
Well, we just said that Woodley's going to fight Bisping in a catchweight fight.
unidentified
I know.
joey diaz
I know.
That's all great.
They're going to fight.
Watch.
joe rogan
You think that Tyron Woodley is going to fight...
joey diaz
Tyron Woodley.
That was already established in New York.
Tyron Woodley.
joe rogan
Tyron.
joey diaz
Tyron Woodley is already going to fucking fight him, okay?
That's the first fight.
Then they're gonna try to...
That's the fight they're gonna put there at 170 maybe in May.
brendan schaub
What happened to Khabib?
joey diaz
Then they're gonna...
This is what...
joe rogan
So you think he's gonna go to 170 and fight for the title?
This isn't my fucking decision.
joey diaz
This isn't my decision.
brendan schaub
This is beyond you.
joey diaz
This is beyond me.
joe rogan
How do you know this?
joey diaz
Because I haven't really seen the setup at the fucking New York where you fucking blind because you didn't see what I see.
joe rogan
But I talked to them.
joey diaz
I know you talked to them, but they don't tell you dick.
joe rogan
But I'm talking to the people behind the scenes.
joey diaz
You didn't know they were getting sold.
You didn't know until they fucking sold it.
joe rogan
I did at the end.
joey diaz
I understand.
But the problem is here that the seed was already planted in New York.
It was already planted.
None of you motherfuckers saw it.
What are you guys watching?
brendan schaub
What seed?
joey diaz
The seed of him talking back and forth with Tyron Woodley, okay?
That's the fucking seed!
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
That's the fucking seed!
unidentified
It smells like a zoo in your mouth.
joey diaz
He's gonna look at Kalabeeb already at the press conference.
unidentified
Kalabeeb again?
joey diaz
Already Khabib.
He said he doesn't fight enough.
joe rogan
Okay, what's going on here?
brendan schaub
That's kind of Wayne's talking shit tone.
joey diaz
That's the scene, you dumb fucks!
joe rogan
That's the scene!
What's happening here?
What is he saying?
brendan schaub
He's just talking shit to him.
joe rogan
Can we hear what he said?
brendan schaub
I don't think so.
joey diaz
It went on.
brendan schaub
It's just Conor talking shit.
joey diaz
And then Tyron said some shit.
joe rogan
What did he say?
eddie bravo
Did it come out?
brendan schaub
He said something like, you're lucky I don't come to 70 or something.
joey diaz
We can do it.
Look at him.
Try to be cute with him.
See?
Hey, bro.
It got set up right there.
Okay?
So that's the next fucking fight, guys.
brendan schaub
It's Connor saying we can do it at 70. We can do it at 70. Damn!
eddie bravo
Joey, what is that shit?
joey diaz
You people don't see dick because you see what you want to fucking see.
That's the next fight.
He already planted the fucking seed.
He's not going to fight Tyron.
He's going to fight Tyron.
And killed more time for Colin Bean like they threw Dennis Seaver on him when Frankie Edgar was fucking lurking.
unidentified
When Frankie Edgar was running, they threw Dennis Seaver out of him.
joey diaz
Oh, poor Dennis Seaver.
Dennis Seaver's available.
joe rogan
Look at the color of his skin.
Look how red he gets.
eddie bravo
Hey, he's talking some truth here.
joey diaz
It's in between fucking.
He doesn't want to fight Ferguson.
He's not gonna fight Tony Ferguson!
joe rogan
Why not?
joey diaz
It's not just, bro!
It's too much hype, and Tony Ferguson don't give a fuck.
He's a barbarian.
joe rogan
He is backstage again.
joey diaz
Who fucking farted?
That is a horrible fart.
joe rogan
That was me.
joey diaz
It's a tremendous fart.
Sounds like a zoo up in this bitch.
joe rogan
Oh, look at this.
unidentified
They are going out.
joey diaz
Don't fucking tell me, guys.
joe rogan
Let's get some volume on that.
Can we get volume on that?
joey diaz
Back there?
joe rogan
Let me hear this.
Go all the way back.
Way back.
Here we go.
Crank it up.
eddie bravo
He's setting it up.
joey diaz
She's setting up the 170 belt.
unidentified
Please walk this way.
joe rogan
Put your little camera on.
unidentified
Listen.
joey diaz
Get like a woman.
There's eight guys there, guys.
joe rogan
You're like a woman with that phone.
Whoa.
joey diaz
You know what's crazy?
joe rogan
Look how drained Tyron looks.
eddie bravo
Let's hear it.
Rewind it again.
joe rogan
Rewind that.
Rewind that.
unidentified
Shh.
joe rogan
What's up?
unidentified
Not much.
We need your assistance.
brendan schaub
You hear that lady terrified?
eddie bravo
He just said, what's up?
And he stared at him down.
joe rogan
Conor said, what's up?
He said, not much.
But meanwhile, you look at Tyron.
Tyron looks so drained there when he made that weight.
It's like right after he made the weight.
brendan schaub
I'll tell you what's crazy.
I like Conor's chances in that fight.
joey diaz
He's going to go for three fucking bouts, guys.
unidentified
How crazy is that?
joey diaz
I can't believe nobody ever saw this shit.
He's not going to fight Ferguson because it's a fucking...
Aerosmith?
Guns N' Roses was Aerosmith on steroids.
And Tony Ferguson is little Diaz...
With fucking...
Elk blood in him.
You understand me?
He don't want that kid.
He don't want Tony Ferguson.
He don't want Tony Ferguson.
And Dana, Uncle Dana, Uncle John, Uncle Bobby Dana is not going to let his nephew fight Khal Abib, okay?
eddie bravo
Are you kidding?
Conor versus Tony is not a draw?
brendan schaub
It's not a draw for Conor.
I know he's your guy, Eddie.
eddie bravo
That's a big fucking fight.
Tony versus Conor?
joey diaz
That's a big fucking fight, though.
eddie bravo
Even Tony versus Khabib.
That's a huge fight.
brendan schaub
Why don't you think they're making it, Eddie?
eddie bravo
You tell me.
joey diaz
Why do you think they're making it?
brendan schaub
It's not going to sell.
And I love these guys.
I'm not clowning your guy.
But as far as the average consumer buying a pay-per-view, that's not a sell.
It's just not.
eddie bravo
Hell yeah it is.
unidentified
I disagree.
joe rogan
Conner fighting anybody is a sale.
Conner fighting anybody is a sale.
Conner fighting a top challenger is always a sale.
But Tony Ferguson is most certainly a top challenger.
When Nate Diaz fought Conor for the first time, it was a giant fight because Nate Diaz had a name, and he's a bigger name than Tony, arguably, for sure.
brendan schaub
Not even close.
joe rogan
Much bigger now, after he beat him.
brendan schaub
The Diaz brothers and Tony?
joe rogan
It wasn't the same as it is now.
It's a different thing now.
It's a different thing now.
But he had it because of Nick, and Nick had all the Strikeforce success, Elite XC success, you know, there's a lot of TV time there.
brendan schaub
Nick was the ultimate fighter winner.
joe rogan
Nate.
And then on top of that, Nick had just got done beating Anderson, or fighting Anderson, rather.
And, you know, Nick is like a pretty well-known figure, right?
His brother.
The Diaz brothers are like...
So that's a different level.
But having him take that fight on short notice, too.
But Conor was the main draw, is my point.
brendan schaub
Conor's the main draw.
Conor's the main draw.
unidentified
And I agree.
brendan schaub
But this is why Conor's not taking it.
Because I agree.
He's the main draw.
If you're Conor and you're his manager, you're going, let's fight Tony, who's a tough fucking matchup, but he's not as big as the name as a guy like Nate Diaz at 55, who we're going to make more money, maybe not as tough as a fight, bigger name.
So they're doing it from a business point.
joe rogan
That's why he's not fighting Tony.
brendan schaub
That's why he's not fighting Khabib.
joe rogan
Tony's a tough fight.
It's a horrible fight for him.
They're going to do a Russia card.
And when they do a Russia card, they want to do a Russia card with Conor.
Or with Habib, rather.
So when they do a Russia card with Habib, it's most likely going to be for a title.
I would imagine.
joey diaz
It's for a title.
brendan schaub
It all depends if Conor accepts it.
Remember, Conor has all the power.
joe rogan
It might be Tony, and it might be for an interim.
And apparently they offered it to Tony, and Tony said that he wanted to make the same amount of money that Habib makes.
brendan schaub
Which is perfectly fine.
joe rogan
Perfectly fine.
But, you know, they said, nope.
You got a contract, you got to honor your contract.
That's at least how it's been explained.
brendan schaub
Yes, that's how it's being explained.
They go, well, you sign these contracts, you've got to honor the contract.
But that only works one way.
That only works for the UFC, because they don't honor all the contracts, do they?
joe rogan
What do you mean?
joey diaz
If it works for them.
brendan schaub
They can cut them.
You have a six-fight contract, you've lost two, and it's born, you're cut.
joe rogan
It's in the contract that you can get cut.
If it wasn't in the contract, there's guys who have fought and they've fought out their entire contract.
brendan schaub
For sure.
But I'm just saying, it's very one-sided.
joe rogan
Remember the early days?
Pedro Hizo had this giant contract because they thought that Pedro was going to be the heavyweight champ.
And so they were giving him undercard fights.
He was making a quarter of a million dollars.
Yeah.
It's tricky, man, because I get the idea that they would want to protect Conor, you know, and really set up the big money fights, especially now, because he's the biggest guy.
But then you've got Conor, who's kind of fucking crazy.
And he's like, the way he was jawing down Tyron Woodley.
brendan schaub
I don't think it's Conor doing it.
I think from a business standpoint, they're going, wow.
What's the biggest fight?
Let's say you have three fights left.
Who are the three biggest names we can fight to make this happen so you stay undefeated and make the most money?
joe rogan
He might not be undefeated.
I mean, he's definitely not undefeated now, right?
But the biggest thing is the Woodley fight because that's a 170 pound belt.
joey diaz
That's 170. That's a third belt, guys.
That's a fight.
brendan schaub
If you didn't see it, shame on you.
joey diaz
Shame on you motherfuckers if you didn't see it.
Number two, listen.
I'm not saying that Khabib is going to beat Conor, especially after I see him take the punch from Michael Conor.
I'm not saying he's John Conor.
Michael Johnson.
But the fight is Khabib.
And then the next fight has to be Ferguson if he beats him.
That's the way it is where I come from.
brendan schaub
But Ferguson and Khabib can't wait.
Ferguson needs a fight in the next four or five months.
Khabib needs a fight in the next fucking two, three months.
joey diaz
Khabib said he'll fight in Brooklyn.
And Tony Ferguson will fight in Brooklyn.
joe rogan
That's a month from now.
joey diaz
When you interviewed him, and he put the hat on your fucking head, he said he'll fight in Brooklyn.
joe rogan
He put the hat on my head every time I've been in Brooklyn.
brendan schaub
I know, it's great.
joe rogan
I fucking love it.
joey diaz
And you don't say dick to him.
No, he looks at me.
joe rogan
He looks at me, he shows me the hat, and I give him the nod.
I'm like, yeah, I'll put that on.
joey diaz
I love it.
joe rogan
I like that hat.
brendan schaub
Now, Eddie, me as a fan, the number one fight I want to see is Tony vs.
Khabib.
That's the fight.
There's not a better matchup that can be made in the UFC. I don't know about that.
joe rogan
I like Tony vs.
Conor.
I even like Khabib vs.
unidentified
Conor.
joe rogan
I like Conor vs.
Woodley.
I like that fight, too.
joey diaz
That's the fight, guys.
That's the next money fight.
But he's going to eventually...
brendan schaub
I don't think the UFC gives him enough power to do that.
They're not going to let him get that much control.
eddie bravo
You just said Conor has all the power.
joey diaz
Yeah, he's got all the power.
joe rogan
Well, here's the thing about Woodley.
Woodley loses to Bisping.
If he loses this catchweight fight, he still keeps that 170 pound strap.
joey diaz
That's if that catchweight fight happens.
brendan schaub
The UFC might be like, what?
No, you can't hold up two divisions.
joey diaz
It's Tyron against my boy, Conor McGregor.
eddie bravo
I gotta go with Joey on this one.
He was going after Tyron.
joey diaz
They planted the seed right there.
eddie bravo
He can't tie up two divisions.
I've been backstage at UFC's all the goddamn time.
That shit don't happen.
unidentified
And they're going to push him away from the Russian and Ferguson for as long as they can.
joey diaz
And then they'll do what they did.
joe rogan
We can't talk over each other.
joey diaz
No, they'll do the NASA thing.
When they go to interview him, they die in car accidents and shit.
But that's the fight, guys.
That's the fight right there that everybody wants to see.
Right off the bat.
I'd love to see Conor and Khabib.
I'd love to see Ferguson and Khabib.
But they're not going to do that right off the bat.
They're going to hope that they fall off a cliff or a plane goes down.
Let's give them the money for it, which is 170. Can he get the third belt?
brendan schaub
Here's the thing.
joe rogan
If he does lose, if he goes up to 10 and beats Tyron, nothing happens.
joey diaz
Nothing happens.
brendan schaub
It's risk-free.
joey diaz
It's risk-free!
brendan schaub
Same thing with that first Nate Diaz fight.
joey diaz
Okay.
Remember who runs this show?
brendan schaub
What do you do with Tony and Khabib?
joey diaz
They go to Bellator.
joe rogan
They're going to get pissed off.
joey diaz
They're going to say, fuck you, UFC. We can't take this no more because you're hiding this kid from us.
joe rogan
Here's another thing.
At Bellator, there's still one guy left that I don't know where his contract's at, but Michael Chandler is a motherfucker.
He is a motherfucker.
brendan schaub
Remember, he beat Eddie Alvarez, who's the champ at 155. And did you see what he did to that pitbull guy and starched him with one punch?
Starched him.
joe rogan
Dude, Michael Chandler is legit as fuck.
brendan schaub
How many fights does he have left, though?
joe rogan
I don't know.
It's interesting.
He was just at the UFC the other day.
That's why I'm saying it.
He was in the front row.
I was talking to him.
I didn't talk to him about the fight.
Yeah, he's a bad motherfucker.
brendan schaub
I'll tell you another guy, Lance Palmer from Team Alpha Man, who's World Series of whatever.
He has one fight left, and after that he's going straight to the UFC. Good luck beating that motherfucker.
joe rogan
What weight is he?
brendan schaub
45. Can wrestle his paws off.
joe rogan
Interesting.
Yeah, there's a lot of talent coming up, man.
A lot of talent coming up.
brendan schaub
Then you have some guys going to Bellator like that.
Lorenz Larkin, who's a monster.
joe rogan
Is he going to go to Bellator?
brendan schaub
They're talking to him.
joe rogan
He's a free agent.
I hope he stays in the UFC. I really do.
eddie bravo
Is Bellator paying pretty good?
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
They have to.
brendan schaub
They have to.
joe rogan
It's the only way people are going to get over there.
brendan schaub
Roy McDonald, Lorenz Larkin.
joe rogan
I don't know if Lorenz is on there yet, but Lorenz, the way he put away Neil Magny, I was like, don't Go anywhere, man.
Stick around.
Lorenz beat Robbie Lawler.
Lorenz is legit as fuck.
brendan schaub
He's a nightmare.
joe rogan
He's a dangerous striker.
He's one of the best strikers in that 170-pound division and fought a good chunk of his career at 185. 170, he's a big fella.
And he's got ridiculous kicks.
He throws that goddamn oblique kick to the body better than anybody I've ever seen.
Pull up the fight, Lorenz Larkin versus Neil Magny.
Neil Magny, who is a tough fucking dude, didn't even have a chance in that fight.
brendan schaub
He got starch.
joe rogan
He beat Johnny Hendricks.
The judges helped, but he beat Johnny Hendricks.
brendan schaub
I had Neil winning 1-3.
joe rogan
I think he could have been conceivably won because of having him in that triangle in the third, but the first round was so loose.
It just didn't look dangerous to me.
That was like a legit loose triangle.
brendan schaub
But he still did more than Johnny.
eddie bravo
I disagree with that.
brendan schaub
I'm also biased as fuck.
joe rogan
You might be right.
I have to look at it again, but I saw some space.
I saw some space, and I think the arm was tucked in enough where I don't think Johnny was in real trouble, but he was definitely stuck.
brendan schaub
Think about those judges, though.
They don't know shit.
They don't know shit.
So they see him in danger, they're giving him around.
eddie bravo
He was definitely in some serious motherfucking danger.
Anytime you're caught with one arm in, one arm out, and the shit is singed, you're in trouble.
joe rogan
It's almost like his legs are so long that he gives you a little extra space.
Because his legs are so long.
eddie bravo
No, the problem was...
The problem was he started throwing elbows, and when that does, his head's right there.
It pushes him out.
That's what happens.
So the more you hit him...
So it's like you gotta land a couple elbows and then grab the wrists and pull them back in.
You gotta constantly pull them back in, throw a couple...
brendan schaub
Because they're like this and...
eddie bravo
When you're throwing elbows, you're pushing them out of your shit.
joe rogan
Remember when Anderson stopped Travis Luter?
That's how he got him.
brendan schaub
Sure, didn't Travis Luter miss weight?
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Could there have been a more frustrating weight cut?
joe rogan
He didn't just miss weight, dude.
He was the closest I've ever seen where it looked like the guy was dead.
Watch this fight.
Here's Lorenz.
Lorenz is a slick striker, but watch this oblique kick to the body.
A lot of guys are throwing this to the leg, but Lorenz throws it to the body, and he switches stances a lot, but the way he lands it, he launches you through the air with it.
So he hits him with that low kick, low kick on the bottom of the calf, like real low.
eddie bravo
Is it going to happen right now?
joe rogan
It's going to happen.
I mean, this is just the fight itself.
But the way he throws it is really unusual, man, because he'll be like, from here, like right there.
That's it.
Yeah.
brendan schaub
See that?
joe rogan
Is that the one?
Yeah, that's exactly it.
eddie bravo
That was a rear push kick.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
Watch.
Watch.
It's an oblique kick.
brendan schaub
That's not Verdun vs Edmund kick.
joe rogan
See that?
This is what it's like.
No, no, no.
No, it's not.
It's like this.
He's doing this.
Watch it again.
unidentified
Do it again?
joe rogan
Watch it again.
Back it up again.
eddie bravo
Slow motion?
joe rogan
Watch this.
Just watch it.
Just watch it.
Trust me.
I know what the kick is.
Watch how he does it.
Watch where his heel is.
His toes are pointing.
See?
His toes are kind of pointing outside.
brendan schaub
That fucks Neil up, too.
joe rogan
Oh, dude.
I'll show you on a bag.
It's a devastating check.
brendan schaub
Did you hear Neil talk about that fight?
He goes, I literally just overlooked the guy.
He doesn't get a lot of hype, but he definitely should.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
You overlooked him?
brendan schaub
Yeah, he goes, I don't know.
He doesn't get a lot of hype.
He thought it was going to be an easier fight than it was.
joe rogan
Well, he just got off a beat in Hector Lombard.
He might have been feeling his oats.
brendan schaub
Yeah, exactly.
joe rogan
But Larkin is a totally different animal.
He's one of the most...
brendan schaub
Oh my god, he's tough.
joe rogan
One of the most technical and capable guys in the division when it comes to striking.
eddie bravo
His jiu-jitsu is good, too.
joe rogan
See it again?
Watch it again.
brendan schaub
His wrestling is ridiculous, too.
joe rogan
See, his foot is not...
He's hitting with the heel.
eddie bravo
Like this?
joe rogan
It's like this.
This is what he's doing.
See how he does that there?
Dude, come on, son.
Who kicks like that?
Back that up again.
Look at the extension he gets.
Watch this.
Watch how he throws this kick.
This is a beautiful kick, man.
Sets it up with that and then steps in.
brendan schaub
Damn!
Spartan style, son.
joe rogan
Dude, it's a weird kick because a lot of guys don't do it the way he does it.
eddie bravo
He's stomping.
joe rogan
And Jon does it all the time.
Yep, but Jon does it to the legs.
Yeah, Jon doesn't do it as powerful.
And Holly did it a lot to Rhonda.
Holly did it to Rhonda.
eddie bravo
He stomped him but turning his heel in instead of out, right?
joe rogan
Exactly.
It's like you step forward and you do this.
eddie bravo
Yes.
joe rogan
And it's got a lot of power.
brendan schaub
All the Jackson boys do it.
joe rogan
Next time you're in front of a bat, I'll show you.
eddie bravo
A new kick is born in the UFC. It's not a new...
He didn't invent it, but I'm just saying it.
brendan schaub
Winkle John, they've been doing it forever, Jackson boys.
joe rogan
People have been doing it forever, but they've been doing it to the leg.
brendan schaub
Not to this degree, though.
He fucking Sparta kicks his ass.
joe rogan
Look at that.
Lorenz is on another level.
He just is.
And the only loss that he has inside the octagon at 170 is against Tumanoff, and that was a super close fight.
eddie bravo
So he's not the only guy that ever throw it exactly like that?
joe rogan
Well, he's one of the only guys I've ever seen throw it to the body.
brendan schaub
And knock someone down.
joe rogan
And the way he throws it to the body is just massive power.
And speed.
The way he chambers his legs and then gets that kick to launch in a straight line.
eddie bravo
Nobody practices that, right?
joe rogan
Guys are doing it now, I guarantee you.
brendan schaub
Especially with his success.
Copycat league.
You have to see it a thousand times before people make it part of their daily routine.
joe rogan
But he's fucking up that lower leg, too.
eddie bravo
There's so many strikes you gotta work on.
brendan schaub
But again, Lorenz flies under the radar.
He wants more publicity.
unidentified
Look at that.
joe rogan
He did it again.
He does it from here to the body, which is so crazy.
brendan schaub
He's nasty.
Can you imagine him versus Roy McDonald in Bellator?
joe rogan
I could.
eddie bravo
Oh, nice.
joe rogan
But I can imagine him fighting for the title against Woodley, too.
I want to see him at 170 in the UFC. I'm selfish.
eddie bravo
What's his record of the last three fights?
joe rogan
Only lost to Tumanoff, and it was a razor close decision.
eddie bravo
Was that recent?
joe rogan
That was like two or three fights ago, and he's won all the other ones.
brendan schaub
He's a monster.
eddie bravo
So he's on a win streak.
joe rogan
Yeah, but this is the big win, because Magny's a top contender, and he beat the fuck out of Magny.
I mean, Magny was never in this fight.
This fight was like, he worked him, man.
brendan schaub
Yeah, Magny's really only been outclassed in this Larkin fight, and then he got outclassed when he fought Damian Maia.
joe rogan
Larkin throws a lot of weird shit too, man.
He'll throw like wheel kicks to the thigh.
brendan schaub
Dude, he came into rain and everyone was like, we don't know what the fuck to do.
Really?
Me and Pat couldn't get him down.
His takedown offense was ridiculous.
His striking was unconventional.
He was a nightmare.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's got, I think, a kung fu background.
I think that's where he started his career.
But you see like that low leg kick, man?
He attacks like below the knee.
Look at him just eating Neil.
brendan schaub
The problem is you could go to Bellator and you could chew away years of your career and no one will know who you are.
joe rogan
You know?
Look at Diego Lima.
Who?
Or Douglas Lima.
I know, I'm just kidding.
Exactly.
Lima's a world-class fighter.
brendan schaub
Well, look at Michael Chandler.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Michael Chandler, I mean, he's better than Eddie Alvarez.
Beat Eddie Alvarez.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
But Eddie beat him, too.
Yeah, but still, I mean, you talk about a guy of that caliber.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
He walks down the street, goes into 7-Eleven, people are like, what are you, CrossFit?
They don't know who he is.
joe rogan
Yeah, what happened to him, bro?
brendan schaub
Where if he was in the UFC... Everyone knows who he is.
joe rogan
Yeah, no, you're right.
It's not there yet.
I wish it was.
brendan schaub
They can get there, though.
joe rogan
I don't know, man.
They don't have pay-per-view.
They don't have those...
Why do you need pay-per-view?
They're on Spike TV. It's not the same.
Viacom?
I agree, but they've tried one pay-per-view.
It was a terrible disaster.
brendan schaub
What was the pay-per-view they tried?
joe rogan
Rampage.
Remember?
brendan schaub
I do remember.
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, it didn't work.
Nobody bought it.
It's just, there's a difference.
brendan schaub
But their ratings on regular cable are good.
joe rogan
Just as good as the UFC. What's weird is their ratings on regular cable still don't translate into stardom.
It's very strange.
brendan schaub
Well, it's because I think what they've been doing is they've been giving the older guys from the UFC where people are like, oh, yeah, he's kind of over the hill.
Where now they have a guy like Rory McDonald.
joe rogan
Right.
brendan schaub
Who's young and he can be that kind of world-class athlete.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
But the UFC shows a replay of Wonderboy fucking up Rory.
That's what they show over and over and over again.
And then they show Robbie Lawler knocking out Rory.
And they'll just show it over and over again in their highlights.
brendan schaub
True.
joe rogan
Until everybody knows Rory left and went over there.
Look, I wish Rory nothing but the best.
brendan schaub
Until Bellator gets a Michael Venom Page.
If they get one superstar like a Jon Jones who starred with them, then you're going to start seeing some changes.
joe rogan
But Page got kind of exposed in his last fight.
brendan schaub
What happened?
joe rogan
Went to distance.
Didn't knock the guy out.
Didn't really look that good.
brendan schaub
I'm not saying he's the answer.
I'm saying they need a type of guy.
joe rogan
I forget who he fought.
brendan schaub
Because the Chael Sonnen versus Tito Ortiz, it'll do record-breaking.
It's going to kill number-wise because we know who those guys are.
unidentified
You think so?
brendan schaub
But they're both older.
Oh, it's going to sell for sure.
joe rogan
Well, it's not selling.
It's going to be on regular TV, right?
It's not pay-per-view.
brendan schaub
No, I'm going to say it's going to sell ticket-wise at the form.
Because remember, that Brooklyn card was supposed to be at the same time.
As that Bellator card.
UFC left.
Because they didn't have a headliner for that, so they left Anaheim.
Remember that?
Same night?
joe rogan
Is that where it was?
Oh, well, that's the Brooklyn card?
They moved that card to Brooklyn?
unidentified
Yep.
joe rogan
That's what happened?
brendan schaub
Yep.
joe rogan
Oh, that's interesting.
The Brooklyn card does look like they're still working on it, though.
I'm hoping they could pull that together.
brendan schaub
It's a smart move, because Tito, Chael, and we got fucking Hawley this.
joe rogan
So that's the same weekend?
brendan schaub
Yep.
joe rogan
So Tito fights the same weekend as Jermaine Durandame?
brendan schaub
No, I think they switched it, but it was the same as Bellator.
Bellator is January 21st on Spike.
joe rogan
Oh, okay.
So February...
brendan schaub
Yeah, they switched it to that February then.
joey diaz
Now, when is Verdum Dos Santos?
Did we schedule that?
joe rogan
No.
Well, Verdum was supposed to fight Kane, but Kane got pulled off the card because he fucked up, man.
He did an interview and said that he needed surgery after the fight.
And they're like, what?
So, you know, Bob Baker from the Nevada State Athletic Commission, who does a fucking awesome job, he is not going to let you fight if you go around telling people you need surgery.
brendan schaub
Too much of a liability.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's a liability.
brendan schaub
It's just business 101, Kane.
joe rogan
And you just can't do it.
He fucked up.
He probably didn't think about it.
He just thought, look, I'm just going to show everybody how tough I am and go through it anyway, which you can do.
See, the thing is, his back is structurally sound.
The doctors cleared him.
So if he did, like he thought in his mind, even though he does need to get the pathways cleared out, he's got some sort of stenosis where the pathways, the nerves, it's irritating his nerves, but he can get a cortisone shot.
Now, if he gets a cortisone shot, then he won't feel it.
He can go through the fight.
Structurally, he's fine.
It's not like he's compromised.
He's got a weak joint.
So it's just a little bit of pain.
He goes through it.
Then after the fight, he can get the surgery.
That's what his doctor said, so that's what he was saying.
He just didn't take into consideration that whenever you say...
Two things happen.
First of all, the betting line changes.
You go and tell everybody he needs surgery after the fight.
Everybody's like...
So that gets squirrely, especially with Nevada.
They have to figure out how do they put this line up.
And second of all, there's that liability thing.
brendan schaub
Huge liability.
And then did you see they did offer the fight of Junior Dos Santos.
unidentified
Right.
brendan schaub
And then Verdum came out and started calling Junior Dos Santos gay.
joe rogan
Yeah, what's that about?
brendan schaub
He was like, just come out of the closet.
He said, nothing that's homosexuals, but everyone knows you're gay.
Damn, son!
joe rogan
Did he say that?
brendan schaub
Yeah, I went hard in the pain at JDS. Wow, that's rough.
unidentified
That's super rough.
joey diaz
And D.C. Johnson, that's not on the horizon anytime soon?
brendan schaub
D.C.'s just getting back to training on Monday.
joe rogan
D.C. had a torn muscle and he decided to opt for surgery, right?
Yeah.
Right next to that.
So he went for surgery on that, right?
brendan schaub
He had surgery.
He's just getting back to training, but who knows how long he's out.
Then you got Jon Jones.
His suspension's up in July.
And then Rumble said, the only thing I'm doing is fighting for a title.
I'll wait a year if I have to.
But the UFC's like, nah, son, you're going to fight Jon Jones for an interim title.
That's what I think is going to happen if DC's not ready.
joe rogan
So Jon Jones comes back in July.
I think his suspension is up right when that July 4th weekend card comes up.
brendan schaub
Boom, boom, boom.
joe rogan
So he'll be probably the headliner for that.
brendan schaub
That's a tough go, because he had some ring rust when he fought OSP. Let's not get it twisted.
Anthony Rumble Johnson, you don't get any mistakes with that gentleman.
joe rogan
And also, he had ring rust before the OSP fight, and now it's another year off.
That's a long time off.
brendan schaub
To your point, Ronda had 411 days off.
Ring rust is real, man.
I don't give a fuck what people say.
And not only is it real, but you're not getting warm-up fights.
She's not fighting Liz Karmouche.
You're fighting fucking this killer who just fought at UFC 200. Yep.
Who's ready to go.
No warm-ups.
eddie bravo
What do you think about B.J. Yair?
That's going to be crazy.
brendan schaub
Yair's the future.
joe rogan
Scary.
Yair Rodriguez, he's so dynamic, man.
brendan schaub
It's fun to watch.
eddie bravo
B.J.'s at Jackson's, right?
brendan schaub
Mm-hmm.
eddie bravo
Man.
That's what everyone was saying.
Like, oh, BJ needs a real camp.
If BJ went to Jackson's or if BJ went here, AKA or whatever, and he actually listened and he did it.
brendan schaub
A little too late, but yeah.
eddie bravo
It's weird that it's never too late.
If he's in the right camp and that's BJ Penn, it's never too late.
joe rogan
How did he lose all that weight?
eddie bravo
Yair's a bad motherfucker.
But BJ, you know, with the right camp, just like everybody said, if he had the right camp, he's got the right camp now.
joe rogan
Yeah, but what happened to his body where he's going to 45?
Why is he going to 45?
brendan schaub
Especially as you get older.
eddie bravo
That's his real weight.
That was always his real weight.
He was doing jiu-jitsu at 147. That was always his weight.
joe rogan
Right, but wasn't he like 12?
brendan schaub
Yeah, he was young as fuck.
unidentified
He won the Black Belt Worlds at 147. He fought Machida, for God's sakes.
eddie bravo
He's a legend.
joe rogan
He's crazy.
brendan schaub
I never root against BJ. It's just goddamn...
eddie bravo
Unfortunately, Yair is fucked.
That's a nightmare opponent for BJ. Yair's the future, man.
But this is the best BJ we're going to see.
This is the best one.
brendan schaub
That's a strong statement at his age, sir.
eddie bravo
No, no, what I meant, the best possible we can see.
joe rogan
For today.
eddie bravo
Yeah.
brendan schaub
That's what you're saying.
He has a great camp.
He's probably in shape.
unidentified
He's sticking to everything.
eddie bravo
Jackson's not fucking around with BJ. Are you kidding?
brendan schaub
You can't.
You get ate up.
eddie bravo
Yeah.
joe rogan
He's 38 years old, though.
brendan schaub
And that's 38 MMA years.
joe rogan
And 38 years old after a war.
eddie bravo
How good is Yair's jiu-jitsu?
joe rogan
It's pretty goddamn good.
brendan schaub
It's dynamic and it's different.
joe rogan
He's a mad scrambler.
brendan schaub
He'll fly to knee bars.
eddie bravo
Is he black belt level?
joe rogan
I don't think so.
brendan schaub
I don't think he's black belt.
joe rogan
Is he brown belt level?
eddie bravo
Yair Rodriguez BJJ rank.
unidentified
Okay.
joe rogan
I don't know.
Yeah, find it, Jamie.
But here's the thing about Yair, the distance.
He keeps that kicking distance.
He's fucking so lethal.
brendan schaub
He's quick.
unidentified
That's going to be the problem for BJ is the quickness and the youthfulness.
eddie bravo
If BJ stands with him, yeah, the odds are not in his favor.
But if BJ just decides to get in that clinch and take him down...
joe rogan
Squeeze him out.
eddie bravo
...and jump on his neck, I think that's the best route.
unidentified
100%.
eddie bravo
Vintage BJ, for sure.
He's got to take...
Rodriguez.
brendan schaub
I didn't like BJ versus Lamas.
What the fuck?
It's a legend, man.
Don't give him Ricardo Lamas.
joe rogan
Ricardo Lamas is a bad motherfucker.
brendan schaub
I know.
So is Yair, but Ricardo Lamas is going to hurt you.
I didn't like that.
joe rogan
You don't think Yair is going to hurt you?
brendan schaub
Not the same way Ricardo is.
joe rogan
Jesus, dude.
Did you see the touchy-feely fight when he launched that fucking flying roundhouse kick to his jaw and flattened him?
brendan schaub
Those are good points.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
I didn't like the Lamas fight for him.
joe rogan
I think they're both equally scary.
The thing about Lamas is Lamas has more experience against world-class competition.
Went five rounds with Aldo and was beating Aldo in the fifth round.
He's on top of him, ground and pounding him.
He's got a nasty guillotine, too, where he guillotined Bermudez, cracked him with a punch, and then snuck in that tight arm-in guillotine.
He's very good.
Lamas is one of the best guys, but he's also, you know, 34, 35. It doesn't do anything for BJ in that fight.
brendan schaub
And Lamas is such a badass and he's so skilled.
That doesn't do much for BJ. At least Yair, if he wins, he's young, that's a huge feather in his cap.
That makes more sense.
joe rogan
I guess, but if BJ beat...
I think if BJ beat Lamas, it was a big feather in his cap.
It's like, Jesus, he beat a top 10 contender.
He's back.
He hasn't fought forever.
unidentified
To us.
brendan schaub
To us.
joe rogan
Well, what do you mean to anybody else?
Like, well, the only thing about Yair is that Yair won the Ultimate Fighter.
He won the Latin America Ultimate Fighter.
brendan schaub
True.
joe rogan
Yair's a motherfucker, dude.
brendan schaub
He's a motherfucker.
joe rogan
He really is.
People hate when we say that, by the way.
Stop calling people motherfuckers.
That's what you guys say.
brendan schaub
That's our lingo for God's sake.
unidentified
He's a beast.
joe rogan
He's a motherfucker.
brendan schaub
He's a beast.
Bad motherfucker.
joe rogan
You guys need more adjectives.
You need more adverbs, too.
brendan schaub
Talk like me and my friends.
unidentified
Sure.
joe rogan
There's a lot of goddamn good fights on the horizon.
There's a lot of potential fights.
If you're Wonderboy, wouldn't you be pissed at all this Woodley talk about Woodley fighting anybody else other than Wonderboy?
brendan schaub
No one's even talking about Wonderboy.
Wonderboy needs to start talking shit to Connor.
I'll tell you what, I'd watch Wonderboy vs.
your boy Tony Ferguson.
joe rogan
Yeah, but they're different weight classes.
brendan schaub
Well, I'm on Joey Diaz's train now.
Fuck weight classes.
joey diaz
Listen, Cowboy has fought at 155 and at 170. The fight between him and Tony Henderson, you guys were talking before, I was seeing it.
Explosions are going off in my head.
eddie bravo
Tony Henderson or Ben Henderson?
joey diaz
Well, your guy.
joe rogan
Tony Henderson.
joey diaz
I always get confused.
I did about 19 sprays.
brendan schaub
Did you do?
joe rogan
Did you really?
brendan schaub
He's been taking them nonstop.
joe rogan
How many sprays did you take?
joey diaz
You know me, dog.
brendan schaub
Probably 12?
joey diaz
It's the Lord's Day.
We got nowhere to be and nothing to do.
What the fuck?
joe rogan
Wow, that spray scares me.
joey diaz
Oh, it's tremendous.
I wrote them an email.
They wrote me back.
They're nice people.
I got to go up to the stop and get some more from them.
brendan schaub
Some strong shit, huh?
joey diaz
Listen, man, you guys are talking about we need $4 billion, we need fights.
This is it.
These are all the fights you're going to have to do now.
brendan schaub
So you think they say fuck weight class and just make it the biggest fights?
joey diaz
Not fuck weight classes.
Everybody has to respect the weight classes, but go up if you want to go up.
If you think you can run with it, run with it.
You've got to convince Dana.
The same way Kana convinced Dan.
joe rogan
Have some of them jambos.
Have some of those if you're brave.
joey diaz
What are these?
joe rogan
Exactly.
joey diaz
I can't see without my glasses.
Read them to me.
joe rogan
Jambos.
That's a fucking super powerful edible.
brendan schaub
It's a two cookie dough truffles.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Hey, gluten-free, Joey.
joey diaz
It's gluten-free.
joe rogan
Get in there.
joey diaz
I'm excited.
joe rogan
Take care.
joey diaz
I could go hang out with my faggy friends.
joe rogan
Hey, easy.
joey diaz
And hang out.
brendan schaub
Go find that guy who's gonna suck your dick, don't you?
joe rogan
Take a smile on that.
Organic.
He makes them with honey.
They're so good.
joey diaz
It tastes good.
What's the strength?
joe rogan
Death.
All of the above.
joey diaz
Read the strength of me, Bob.
joe rogan
Straight to the end of the earth.
unidentified
Pretty sure it doesn't stay on there.
joey diaz
It tastes like dick.
joe rogan
Tastes like dick?
Why does it taste like dick?
Too organic for you?
Joey's used to that processed sugar.
brendan schaub
It doesn't say how much is in here.
joe rogan
Exactly.
eddie bravo
He meant it as a compliment.
joe rogan
They don't even want you to know.
brendan schaub
It says eat a truffle when you need a boost of energy.
joe rogan
What kind of energy you got?
brendan schaub
I don't know about that.
joe rogan
What does it say about milligrams of THC? It doesn't say it.
unidentified
Interesting.
brendan schaub
I feel like that's something you need to know.
joey diaz
Right?
brendan schaub
I feel like that's important on here.
joe rogan
This one says 25 milligrams.
Maybe I gave you the wrong one.
This is pretty light.
25 is not that bad for a guy like you.
That's nothing.
joey diaz
25 milligrams?
brendan schaub
That's a waste of your time.
joey diaz
I ate 1,200 last week.
brendan schaub
God damn!
joe rogan
This one's 100, but I think there's two of them in there.
joey diaz
There's this new edible called Moon.
joe rogan
So this is 200 if you eat the two of them.
joey diaz
Listen, there's a thing called Moon.
Okay?
It's a chocolate bar.
It's ten fucking dollars.
Ten dollars.
It's called Moon.
I've eaten them twice.
How long do you know me?
joe rogan
A long time.
joey diaz
Both times the next day I could not go to jujitsu.
I didn't do much.
I didn't do much the next day.
brendan schaub
They're that strong?
joe rogan
What'd you do?
joey diaz
I ate the whole bar.
joe rogan
And then what happened?
joey diaz
Dog, you gotta see pictures of me.
brendan schaub
How many milligrams is it?
joey diaz
250, but they're lying to you.
They're definitely lying to me, which I like.
I like being lied to you.
I don't want to know what I'm eating.
But I saw pictures of me, it's like I got hit by Nunez.
Both eyes were fucked up.
That pocket fudge, that rocket fudge, that shit will fucking kill you.
Here's the beauty, that you go into these places, and they have all these $40 edibles, and they have all these ten, you know, this is ten fucking dollars.
You eat a half of that thing, and you'll be drooling.
And I got a better one for you.
brendan schaub
I don't want to drool.
joey diaz
Listen to me.
There's one called Cushy.
They have 50 milligram, 100, and then they have Knockout.
In the back, listen to me.
It says it will activate in 60 minutes, guaranteed.
Okay?
Here's the thing about this.
joe rogan
Give it to Jamie.
joey diaz
Jamie, it comes in a...
joe rogan
Look at that.
Pushy punch.
joey diaz
That's super potent.
The fucking...
Where is it?
Not the recovery one, but they've got one that is so fucking strong, and I call it transmission fluid.
Because when you open it up, it comes like, you know, you ever go eat breakfast, the butter packages?
joe rogan
Yeah.
joey diaz
You have to rip them open and stick a knife in there.
Comes in one of those.
And they chop it in fours for you.
Okay?
Me, I'm a Gavone, I ate the whole, but when you peel the top off, and you smell it, it's like you're walking into a transmission shop.
Like, that's exactly, where is it?
Not the hybrid, not the end.
That's all for pussies.
TKO. TKO, bitch!
unidentified
That's all for pussies.
joey diaz
Transmission fluid.
Oh my god.
joe rogan
Super potent gummy formula.
brendan schaub
Best for high-tolerance users.
joe rogan
That's high-tolerance users.
joey diaz
You will die.
joe rogan
Oh man, it's a weird time because it's all legal now.
Now that it's legal, you're gonna see what these dudes can do.
You know, because they're gonna have to be held back though, because I think there's regulations on the potency of edibles now.
brendan schaub
Is there?
joe rogan
I think so.
brendan schaub
I think you just have to let people know what's in them.
joe rogan
I think it's 10. Ten.
Yeah, so each one will be ten.
Like in Denver, they were selling these containers of ten.
It was 100 milligrams, and there were these gumdrops, and each one of them was ten.
They're pretty consistent, but not totally consistent.
Like I ate one, I was like, yeah, that feels like ten, and then I ate another one that felt like 40 or 50. I was like, ooh, this one.
joey diaz
They don't have the real numbers.
I'll bring that cushy to you, and I'll make you eat the whole thing, and you'll go, Joey, that's not 200 milligrams.
They lie to us.
joe rogan
That's the case often, though.
I mean, like, it's hard to get real accurate testing.
And then also, like, who's doing the actual making and blending?
brendan schaub
Yeah, we're making it and exact measurements.
joey diaz
Well, like, tomorrow I pick up my shipment of Anarchy Edibles.
Those are my home runs.
joe rogan
My shipment?
joey diaz
Oh, every Monday.
brendan schaub
Like a fucking pallet?
joey diaz
Yeah, I meet him every Monday before jujitsu, about 1045. He gives me 100, 200 milligrams, 100 red ones, and a couple brownies.
I give the brownies away to my friends.
And I keep those for the podcast and when I fly and shit like that.
But then you get used to the same strain.
It's like marijuana.
If you smoke the same joint for three days, it's not going to get you as high as the first day because your tolerance builds to that strain.
So I mix and match, bitch.
And the only ones that are allowed in Uncle Joey's neighborhood are Cushy, the TKO, brilliant.
Fucking brilliant.
But that new rocket pocket, that rocket chocolate, that shit, dog, twice I've eaten them already.
And I'm telling you, the next day, I get up, I take the baby to school, I write a little bit, and by 10.30, there ain't nothing going on.
I gotta go right back to bed for four or five hours, dog.
Fucked up the next day.
joe rogan
There's gonna be a time in our lifetimes where they start passing medical psilocybin.
It's gonna happen.
And when they have medical psilocybin, eventually they're gonna go with recreational psilocybin.
And when they go with recreational psilocybin, we're gonna see a different world.
It's going to be a different fucking world.
But the same benefits that you're seeing with marijuana, the difference being that marijuana, at least when you're smoking it, it's easier to regulate.
The experience isn't so world-changing and dissolving.
But we're going to have freedom.
It's not here yet, but it's here now for pot in a way that's never been before.
eddie bravo
Do you think once...
A big pharma goes 100% in on cannabis.
What kind of things do you think they'll do to squeeze out the small guys?
You know what I mean?
joe rogan
They've already done it.
They tried to do it in Ohio.
eddie bravo
They can make it...
Okay, now it's legal, but we're the only ones that can sell it.
joe rogan
Well, that's what they did, Jamie.
eddie bravo
You know what I mean?
You can't sell it if you're on your own.
joe rogan
What was that deal in Ohio, Jamie?
eddie bravo
That seems like what's going to happen eventually.
brendan schaub
The big businesses get involved.
eddie bravo
They're going to squeeze everybody out.
They're going to pass regulations.
joe rogan
Jamie?
unidentified
Yeah, they were trying to like lock down.
jamie vernon
There's like, I think it was like four companies that would have been able to grow and no one else would be able to grow or sell.
I think it was in perpetuity, like forever.
eddie bravo
It just seems like that's what we're going to deal with.
Cuts.
People like a regular person.
brendan schaub
There's money involved.
eddie bravo
Like regular people, can they make like, can they start their own cigarette companies?
unidentified
Exactly.
eddie bravo
Can they do that?
joe rogan
Right.
It's a good question.
eddie bravo
You can't get into the cigarette company.
joe rogan
No.
eddie bravo
I think they...
I don't know.
I don't know anything about it, but I don't hear about people making their own cigarettes.
brendan schaub
You make your own wine, though.
joe rogan
You can make your own cigarettes if you buy your own tobacco and you can roll your own.
But as far as going into large-scale production, yeah, you're probably right.
The thing about the marijuana thing is you already know how easy it is to grow, you fucks.
The fact that they try to lock it down and make it so only a few companies can grow it, make it legal, but only a few people can profit off it.
That's crazy.
eddie bravo
And then they make it so goddamn cheap that growing it yourself and trying to sell it yourself just doesn't become an option anymore.
People just say, fuck it.
They're just going to get cheap-ass weed at the liquor store, at the gas station.
They're just...
brendan schaub
After a generation or two, people forget it.
eddie bravo
It'll be like a connoisseur thing.
joey diaz
You know that in the fucking 70s, 60 Minutes did a show one time, and they showed that already in the 70s, the cigarette companies already had farms set up.
They were already working on the packaging.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
joey diaz
In the 70s, they were already trying to legalize it, and the cigarette companies were already in on it.
Right now, we don't think all these fucking cigarette companies are setting up that Kentucky.
What is that weed from Kentucky that's really good?
Kentucky, they have a weed in Kentucky.
Like, Alaska has, like, Matt Neuther, Thunderfuck.
Kentucky has like that blue grass.
I went up there when somebody brought me that weed.
They're going to package all those.
The same way they package Acapulco Gold.
joe rogan
Remember that?
eddie bravo
You think there'll be a Marlboro cannabis cigarette?
brendan schaub
Yeah, they're already getting involved.
I got a friend.
We have a mutual friend.
I won't say his name, but he's in the marijuana business.
joe rogan
Brian Callen?
brendan schaub
No, I wish.
Be awesome.
But he was saying that's the issue is that those big cigarette companies are buying up so much shit they're making it hard for other people to get involved in.
eddie bravo
Yeah, that's just the way it goes.
brendan schaub
They already have their hands in it.
eddie bravo
Anytime there's something that's selling, like hotcakes, eventually the small man gets cut out.
Right?
joe rogan
That's the way it works.
Yeah, it happens a lot.
It certainly happens a lot.
Whenever there's regulations where they can profit and they can use their influence and fuck over people that also could profit.
The problem with pot is it's so goddamn easy to grow that if they don't do that, anybody could step in.
But what they were trying to do in Ohio, lock it down for perpetuity forever, that these one companies could be the only ones.
They're setting up monarchies.
Yeah.
That's scary.
eddie bravo
That's coming, though.
We haven't heard the end of that shit.
brendan schaub
No, no, no.
eddie bravo
That's coming.
joe rogan
Well, it's going to be interesting when Trump's the president now.
See where they go with all this.
Because that Jeff Sessions guy that he's bringing in, that guy hates Biden.
eddie bravo
They're not going to let these hippies make millions of dollars.
That's only going to last.
These are going to be considered the good old days.
They're going to wish it was never legal.
joe rogan
Who knows?
We're going to find out.
It's going to be interesting.
Trump has said that he's going to leave it up to the states, but presidents always say shit that they don't do.
I mean, Obama was going to close down Guantanamo Bay.
That motherfucker's still open eight years later.
He never even made an attempt at it.
brendan schaub
I think sometimes they say that stuff, they don't realize how much work goes into it, right?
joe rogan
Well, I think they say that, and then they get into office, and then they get handed some dossiers and some fucking briefings, and they understand, like, what...
brendan schaub
People are like, this is why we haven't done this before.
joe rogan
Look, I know you were saying you're going to close down Guantanamo Bay because it helped your campaign, but we're going to get you in here and show you what the fuck...
eddie bravo
I think all those guys, they didn't sit them down.
They knew that shit...
unidentified
Maybe.
eddie bravo
Way before.
brendan schaub
They knew what they were getting into.
joe rogan
Maybe.
eddie bravo
It's the only reason they were allowed to rise so high.
joe rogan
I think they say a bunch of shit to get into office.
They say whatever the fuck they have.
eddie bravo
No, no, for sure.
They lie their ass off.
brendan schaub
Everything that comes out of Hillary's mouth.
joe rogan
Do you watch House of Cards?
eddie bravo
It's so clear.
It's like George W. Bush.
Everything that George W. Bush says when he talks.
joe rogan
God damn it, we got into conspiracies.
eddie bravo
If your bullshit meter doesn't go off, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
joey diaz
Bro, he didn't even get to the part, tell him about Edmund, the CIA. No, no, no, no.
Edmund is the CIA, dog.
unidentified
No, no, no, no.
joe rogan
Maybe that's the key.
So, let's end it.
It's 8-10.
This is a good fucking podcast.
joey diaz
Love you, man.
Happy New Year, everybody.
joe rogan
Thank you, brother.
brendan schaub
Good to see you, man.
I've seen you in a while.
joe rogan
Love you, brother.
joey diaz
Thank you.
joe rogan
Good times, ladies and gentlemen.
We'll be back tomorrow with Hashtag WhoIsFatWeek.
Tom Segura and Burt Kreischer weigh in tomorrow at 11 a.m.
They've been losing...
Wait for months now.
And Tom is writing hashtag Bert is fat.
Bert is writing hashtag Tom is fat.
Tom and Bert both started out at about 267 in that range.
And now they're fucking light.
I can't wait to see.
Tom looks fantastic.
Tom's only been drinking water.
That's it.
He doesn't even drink soda.
Doesn't drink diet soda.
Doesn't drink coffee anymore.
He's just drinking water.
brendan schaub
Two of my favorite people.
joe rogan
Super disciplined.
He looks fucking great.
Did you see the videos of his face?
eddie bravo
Can we see that real quick before we go?
joe rogan
Go to Tom Segura's Instagram before we leave, because he's got a real funny video.
We'll leave it on this, and then we'll show one at Bert's to balance it out.
But Tom Segura's Instagram, there's a video of him talking to the cameras, because Bert put this video of he ran for five and a half hours and lost like 3,000 fucking calories, because Bert's a savage.
I mean, he's a psychopath.
brendan schaub
Psycho.
joe rogan
He's not the disciplined guy that Tom is.
Tom's more slow and steady.
He wins the race.
And Bert is like, I will run till I die.
joey diaz
You know who he is right now?
I went to his house for Christmas.
See you on Christmas Day with the kids.
He's Bert Rudiger.
Remember when he was outside the sauna?
joe rogan
Yeah.
joey diaz
And they were like, get in there.
And he's like, I can't.
Is that what he looks like now?
joe rogan
No, no, Tom.
Go to Tom Segura.
joey diaz
Bert Kreischer is going on like a fucking...
He's starving himself right now.
brendan schaub
Goddamn, look at that.
joe rogan
Look how good Tom looks.
brendan schaub
Wow.
joe rogan
Play that.
brendan schaub
Hey, what's up?
unidentified
I saw old fat-ass Bert's Instagram and all you fucking suckers believing it.
That's called playing catch-up.
Catch-up!
joe rogan
I've covered so many more miles than you.
unidentified
I'm not losing this beautiful, perfect fucking beard.
joe rogan
Loser has to shave the beard.
unidentified
Keep running, man.
brendan schaub
You should run all night.
I don't want to see Tom on the beard.
unidentified
Run tomorrow.
Run every day.
I don't even have to fucking run anymore.
I already had your ass beat.
brendan schaub
He looks great, man.
unidentified
I'm lost already.
I'm ahead in the game.
And I am watching a fucking bowl game.
joe rogan
Because I know I weigh less than you, you fat motherfucker.
Look how good he looks, man.
brendan schaub
God, he looks great.
joe rogan
Let's go to Bird here.
unidentified
I talked to Tom Skr the other day, and I told him I'm turning on the nitrous oxide to this weight loss challenge.
You want to see what the nitrous oxide is?
joey diaz
20...
brendan schaub
God, done.
unidentified
5 hours and 23 minutes.
How many calories?
3,266 at an average of 4.1?
This is that Mickey Mantle gene I always talk about.
That long strand DNA. That part of your brain that won't let you quit.
It forces you to go that extra 22 miles to make sure you don't lose your beard.
bert kreischer
We'll be weighing in live on YouTube on Joe Rogan's podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, January 2nd and January 3rd.
unidentified
Tune in to find out who loses their beard.
I can tell you one thing.
It won't be the guy killing it.
It'll be the guy laying in bed watching a bowl game right now.
Oh, Big Tommy Buns.
I hope you got a sponsorship from Dollar Shave Club, because I'm coming, and I'm coming for your beard.
joey diaz
I love those guys!
joe rogan
It's hilarious, but honestly, it's going to be real interesting to see whether Bert's craziness can balance out Tom's discipline, because Tom's been disciplined for a long time, man.
I've been watching him.
He does an hour of fucking cardio every day.
Every day.
He's not taking any days off.
He's not drinking at all.
brendan schaub
He's not cheating at all.
joe rogan
Burt's been drinking this whole time.
Burt's still drinking.
You don't think he drank last night?
It was New Year's Eve!
You know he, ah, a couple of cocktails!
A couple of vodka sodas!
And he just figures, I'll just find out what a vodka soda is, and I'll burn that off on the treadmill.
unidentified
Yeah, look at that.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Is that supposed to be water?
eddie bravo
Skinny bitch.
joe rogan
Yeah, that ain't water.
eddie bravo
It's really interesting.
unidentified
Is that what they call them?
eddie bravo
Vodka tonic?
Or vodka soda water?
joe rogan
They call it a skinny bitch?
eddie bravo
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, man.
Really interesting.
He always does his sets with his shirt off.
unidentified
Yeah, right?
joe rogan
He takes his shirt off seconds into being on stage.
But it's funny because he's skinny.
Or because he's fat.
If he gets skinny, he can't just take your shirt off and be jacked.
Yeah, because he's a big fella.
joey diaz
He put something.
He put a picture on there.
Some guy wrote a comment on that.
I remember you had a bit about that.
joe rogan
Don't hang that on the mic.
It makes noise.
joey diaz
Oh, I remember that.
You had a bit about that, these comments that people write.
Where the fuck do they get off?
There was just one on there that he's just making a statement.
The guy's like, you can't find a shirt that fits you.
Where the fuck do these people get off?
unidentified
They're retarded.
joey diaz
Don't they have a fucking life, these people?
joe rogan
They don't.
That's why they're on the internet.
joey diaz
What a sad, sad fucking world to live in.
I remember one day Duncan sent me a thing that he did with a Reddit shit and a bunch of people, and they were talking about fat comics that they shouldn't...
When have you ever seen a successful fat comic?
joe rogan
It's been a fucking shitload of them.
joey diaz
And I was reading this going, what planet are you fucking from?
They're just dark people.
joe rogan
How about Sam Kinison?
He's fat in his whole career.
joey diaz
John Candy.
Belushi.
What the fuck?
Anyway, let's end this motherfucker.
joe rogan
Well, you know what, man?
Remember when you were 16 and you were mugging gay dudes?
If you had an Instagram account, you'd probably be talking shit to Tom Segura.
brendan schaub
It's the same thing.
It's the same thing.
Dude, I had a guy, and it's very rare I ever get back to him.
This guy said something just ruthless, and I was like, God damn it.
I clicked on his profile, and it's a picture of him holding his daughter.
So I said, dude, you got a fucking kid, man.
I get it, you might hate me.
Don't be that loser that comments on another man's fucking Instagram page.
You got a fucking kid, for God's sakes.
And now I got to block you for being a moron.
joe rogan
People can't help it.
Everybody likes to cum.
Even morons.
Morons like to cum and they can make a kid.
brendan schaub
It's just a bummer.
joe rogan
That's the end, ladies and gentlemen.
brendan schaub
Don't be a moron.
joe rogan
Don't be a moron.
But you know what, man?
This whole being a moron thing, even that, it's temporary.
brendan schaub
That's life.
joe rogan
We're coming to a head.
It's not far away, folks.
There will be integration.
All of us will be connected in some strange hive mind.
And we're about five, maybe ten years away from it.
It won't be as simple as like...
Send a fucking tweet or anything.
It's going to go right to your brain and everyone's going to be aware that you did it and they're all going to be able to go back at you and we're going to share information in a way that's just as weird to us today as the internet was 30 years ago.
Nobody ever thought you'd have to deal with this shit.
Imagine back when Rick James was a fucking on top of the world.
Do you think you would have had a look at his Instagram page like, what the fuck are they saying to Rick James?
It's a weird time when everybody can just talk to you.
It's going to be more than that.
The next levels go right into your brain.
brendan schaub
I don't like that.
joe rogan
I don't like it either, but it's happening.
Deal with it, bitch!
Deal with it!
Tomorrow, hashtag whoisfat starts at 11 a.m.
Pacific Time.
Eddie Bravo, Matt Flavor, Brendan Schaub.
That's it.
brendan schaub
Big Brown Breakdown tomorrow.
joe rogan
Big Brown Breakdown tomorrow, you fucks.
