Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan.
Podcast by night, all day.
joe rogan
Good, you're up.
We're up.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
We're back.
It's just like getting pulled over by the cops.
The window rolls down.
unidentified
The cops are like, what the fuck are you doing?
Shit.
din thomas
Joe, I took one hit of that shit.
Actually, it was strong as hell.
I feel high already.
john rallo
That's good for you, dude.
It's good for you.
Opens your mind.
joe rogan
It's the right stuff.
Yeah, there's some talk about Trump legalizing marijuana now.
john rallo
That would be amazing.
matt serra
It kind of feels like it is legal right now.
joe rogan
Well, it should be.
It's so stupid.
I can't believe we're still dealing with this.
I mean, I would have thought by the time, I just turned 58.
I would have thought by the time I'm 58, we would have figured this out.
matt serra
Can I tell you with my ulcerative colitis?
We always thought with my ass.
But with my ulcerative colitis, after my colonosomi one time, the doctor's like, well, there's this pill you could take.
It could affect your liver, but not for many years.
Like, not for.
No, this was when I was like 39.
I'm 51 now.
I'd be going to Columbia for stem cells for my fucking liver at this point.
So what I do is the natural stuff, and it does help me.
It just helps, and I don't have to...
joe rogan
It would take the place of so many different pharmaceutical drugs.
And that's a big part of the problem.
The other part of the problem is the alcohol industry.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
din thomas
That would suffer for sure, right?
joe rogan
And they've done studies.
They know.
They lobby.
They work on it hard.
They do not want marijuana becoming legalized in the whole nation.
matt serra
Alcohol is way worse.
It's way worse.
An age-old conversation, but.
joe rogan
Well, the real big problem is who's selling if it's illegal?
The cartel.
john rallo
That's right.
joe rogan
You know, I've talked about this before.
If you've heard it before, I'm sorry.
But there's a guy named John Norris who's been on the podcast before, who was a game warden.
He wrote a book called Hidden War.
He was a game warden in California.
You know, just a guy who checks fishing licenses and shit.
He loves the woods, loves being outdoors.
john rallo
He came in the middle.
joe rogan
And he came upon a fucking cartel grow op in the middle of the national forest.
And then they realized, oh, no, this is what they do.
They go deep into the woods and public land and they set up a grow op and they got fucking AKs and they got the Virgin Mary photos that they pray to at night.
matt serra
It's crazy.
joe rogan
Like full-on campsites filled with cartel dudes.
They started turning into a tactical team.
So this guy had to get Belgian malamois and bulletproof vests and they're getting shootouts with the cartels in the middle of the woods.
john rallo
I thought he was signing up to be a park ranger or anything.
matt serra
No shit.
john rallo
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Hear people's fish stories.
Like, how'd you get this one?
You know, no, he's fucking getting shootouts.
john rallo
Because it's a full cartel.
joe rogan
So when California made their laws where you could have legalized recreational marijuana, what they also did was if you grow it illegally, it's only a misdemeanor.
So the cartel could just grow if it's a misdemeanor.
It's a misdemeanor.
It's a big deal.
And if they catch people that are illegals up there, they don't do shit.
So it's the perfect spawning ground for cartel grow-ops.
And what he was saying at the time he was here, which was a couple of years back, but he was saying that it was as much as 80% of the marijuana, I think, that was the number in the country in places where it's illegal is coming from these dudes.
And they're using all these crazy pesticides and herbs that are totally illegal.
Fucking super toxic shit.
Shit that's outlawed on farms in America, but it's effective.
And so they're using it.
So you're getting this weed that's infected with these pesticides and herbists.
There's no rules, man.
It's illegal weed.
If they had it legal, you could have inspectors who could check the fucking fact, the farms and the factories.
It'd be just like alcohol.
If alcohol was illegal, we'd all be fucked.
We'd be drinking moonshine.
No one would, you know what I mean?
din thomas
Yeah, no doubt.
joe rogan
Fuck a nice glass of wine.
You're drinking fucking straight up alcohol, nasty shit, because that's all that's available.
And that's what people are doing right now.
It's dumb.
It empowers the people that are criminals.
john rallo
Well, you said it before.
It's the money.
They're going to affect the big pharma.
And we all have seen From COVID, what the hell kind of power big pharma has.
joe rogan
Yeah, they're worried about it, but I think the alcohol people are worried more.
john rallo
The alcohol people got us twice.
They were fighting.
Remember, they fought MMA hard too, Bud Lawrence.
din thomas
Did they?
joe rogan
Oh, that was it, Buddy.
john rallo
Because of boxing, you know.
joe rogan
Yeah, kind of crazy that Bud Light became a sponsor years later.
matt serra
How long did the prohibition last for?
joe rogan
Prohibition on alcohol, that's a good point.
I think it was 10 years.
Was it 10 years, Jimmy?
matt serra
Must have been a rough fucking 10 years.
Bro, it had to be crazy.
din thomas
Yeah, right.
joe rogan
But that's where the organized crime got all their money.
13 years.
Yep, that's where Nash 13 fucking years.
For 13 fucking years, alcohol was illegal in this country.
You know how crazy that is?
A grown man telling you you can't have a drink.
matt serra
Who loves?
Same thing.
You want to smoke?
What's the problem?
joe rogan
Exactly the same thing.
matt serra
It's weird.
joe rogan
Exactly the same thing.
We're just delusional about it.
And we put it under the label drug, which is alcohol.
Alcohol is a drug, dummy.
It's the world drill.
din thomas
Everything's a drug.
joe rogan
There's a lot of drugs.
din thomas
Caffeine is a drug.
unidentified
Exactly.
joe rogan
We're drinking espresso.
You just stop it.
It's just knowing how to use each drug.
And the only way you know how to use it is if people are honest.
And if they do studies.
You have actual scientists who aren't being paid off to come up with some sort of negative or positive result.
You know, that's what it's supposed to be.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
For all of us.
It's all just fucking co-opted by money.
You know, Maryland.
Enforce it.
Never heard that.
john rallo
Maryland had been food.
Well, that's good.
joe rogan
So you have a drug.
john rallo
You've done everything for Maryland.
Shout out to Matt Bush Amy.
joe rogan
By the way, how crazy is that?
john rallo
Right.
joe rogan
Also, home of ground control.
john rallo
Yeah.
unidentified
Hey, guys, I guess I missed the message.
joe rogan
This was a totally different.
john rallo
I've been here for 30 years.
din thomas
I know.
joe rogan
Totally up.
We didn't talk about this at all.
john rallo
Well, I saw Matt were his last time, and I said, well, that's it.
The green light.
I'm shamelessly self-promoting.
And then Dean came down.
I go, motherfucker, I got there.
And he goes, I got to represent.
And then you came in with it.
joe rogan
So we love to talk about it.
din thomas
I know, that's crazy.
joe rogan
That's crazy.
matt serra
I'm left out of the loop here.
unidentified
I know.
joe rogan
I wish we had some extra.
din thomas
We just were bought.
joe rogan
I had an extra one, too.
You know what's so funny?
I had one that was still in the package, and I was like, should I bring this?
I'm like, no, I don't need this.
matt serra
I think you should have.
I should have wanted you.
joe rogan
That was like the universe telling me that you needed one of these shirts.
And I ignored it.
john rallo
That's great.
matt serra
We're talking about stuff that's good for you.
And I've been telling you, I've been eating a ton of fucking pizza.
And I still got answers.
john rallo
Oh, here it comes.
joe rogan
Are you less?
matt serra
Can I tell you I'm talking?
You guys are taking it on me.
I can see it in me.
din thomas
Sarah's done.
matt serra
Can I tell you now that I'm so proud of this?
I don't like to brag.
Dean doesn't.
I need a little bit.
But on Long Island, we have three champions.
Four, if you include Murab.
You know, he's adopted by us.
Chris Wideman has his own day in Long Island.
Aljamain Sterling has his own day.
I'm not butthurt about not having my own day, but I have something better.
Thank you, Talios, from Matsupequa Park and Minniola.
I have my own Sarah slice.
It's the best fucking, it'll knock your dick off.
It's the best slice.
I put it up against any slice that they could give me.
unidentified
And the reason being, listen, tell Dave Porter.
matt serra
Listen.
john rallo
Tell them what.
matt serra
Is this kid Rob?
There he is, my buddy Rob.
Oh, he's talking about it.
unidentified
I want to show you guys how we make the Sarah.
Our Roman shelf here.
We're going to go down with our grande.
Look at that.
No moisture.
Look at this.
Mozzarella.
This is a very simple pizza.
So these stripes of our chow tomato sauce imported from Italy.
matt serra
Imported from Italy.
unidentified
Sea salts, basil, and olive oil.
That is my recipe for my tomato sauce.
No sugar.
Stop putting sugar in your sauce.
And we have our beautiful housemade box sauce.
Dude, you make it with Machito di Parma.
matt serra
I'm getting a hold on.
joe rogan
Matt, tell us it's the Sarah pizza.
john rallo
Tell him where the dough comes from, Matt.
matt serra
He's going to sit.
Caputo.
Caputo flour from Italy.
No bromate.
No preservation.
unidentified
Sicilian oregano.
We have some beautiful Fiordi Latte fresh mozzarella.
Come on, man.
matt serra
Just wait for the fucking pesto.
Wait for the pesto.
unidentified
Super simple.
Go in the oven.
Got eight minutes.
matt serra
Look at this fucking thing.
Look at this fucking thing.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
This is one of the best advertisements for cards I've ever seen.
matt serra
No bleach.
You know, I tell you, this is the only green I eat.
unidentified
I eat that fucking grated pecorino.
matt serra
Ready?
Wait for the course.
Oh, the money shot.
Let's fucking go, Rob.
joe rogan
The pesto.
unidentified
Take a bite.
matt serra
Guys, I'm so proud.
unidentified
Sarah, come get it now.
Both locations.
Calio pizza.
joe rogan
He was so happy.
matt serra
Thank you, Rob.
john rallo
This is the first time you'll ever see Matt's mouth shut.
matt serra
I'm so happy.
unidentified
So good.
matt serra
Why you didn't bring us none?
Dude, can I tell you, I'm there all the fucking time.
My podcast I'm doing, I found the first shop near Mineola train station, and I'm like, this fucking shit's ridiculous, you know?
And then the guy happens to be a fan of the fight and Rob.
So then he's like, look, I'm opening up another spot.
Dude, in Massa Pequil Park.
Dude, that's five minutes from my house.
This is meant to be.
It's fucking meant to be.
And now he's training now, Rob.
john rallo
So that's awesome.
matt serra
Italio's pizza.
The G is silent like lasagna.
And I just, I'm so happy.
joe rogan
That is the number one problem with any of that carnivore diet bullshit.
That's the number one problem is pizza.
john rallo
Oh, right.
din thomas
Yeah, no doubt.
joe rogan
Italian subs.
matt serra
He was telling me that it's not even legal in Europe to have the bromate.
I didn't even know what the bromate was.
He goes, it's stuff they put in the dough to make it last longer and this and that.
This kid has such balls where he started important.
He's twice as much for a flour of caputo flour.
Dude, I don't know much.
unidentified
I know a lot about it.
joe rogan
You feel different if you eat that flour.
matt serra
I'll eat this shit on the way to go train at my school.
And I'm not doing that with Pietro's, no offense.
I'm not doing that with other schools.
He has a.
It's so good.
joe rogan
Potassium bromate, a flour additive used to strengthen dough, may have potential health risks.
While it's legal in the U.S., it's banned in many other countries due to concerns about its potential carcinogenic effects.
Studies have linked it to kidney and thyroid cancers in animals.
Well, fucking duh.
And it's been associated with genotoxic and nephrotoxic effects in both animal models and humans.
Acute symptoms from ingestion can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
din thomas
They put this in our flour.
matt serra
Dude, that's what I'm saying.
din thomas
That's crazy.
matt serra
Crazy.
joe rogan
It causes changes in DNA and potentially lead to mutations.
matt serra
Guys.
What the fuck?
I'm telling you, man.
joe rogan
Look at that fucking statement.
john rallo
That's crazy.
matt serra
Dude, that's why, man.
john rallo
I noticed its place at the end.
matt serra
Give this kid so much credit.
Nobody does this.
People can't.
They can import the flour.
It's just more.
But this kid's killing it.
And it's fucking, and it's, it's such a difference, man.
They say when you go to Italy and you come back and you're eating all that shit and you come back, you're not fat.
It's that shit.
It's the flour, man.
And he makes the heroes out of the same flour.
joe rogan
Jamie, do you remember that video that I sent you about that dude breaking down exactly what's in flour and why it fucks us up?
Do you remember that video?
You find it.
The dude with the hat on, who's the health expert, is a young guy, and he does an amazing job of breaking down the difference between our flour and their flour.
And you see, you get so upset.
You're like, this is so crazy.
You guys let them do this to us.
din thomas
Yeah, that's banned in other countries, but legal here.
How's that possible?
unidentified
That's crazy.
din thomas
You would think, why are we putting up with this shit?
joe rogan
Why?
Why?
Yeah, why would it be?
It's because it's slow poison.
It's not like alcohol is like, whoa, you feel it the next day.
Like, oh my God.
unidentified
Pizza is just a slow poison.
joe rogan
Slow poison without poison dough.
matt serra
It weighs you down.
joe rogan
But it would weigh you down.
It would be just as good, just as good in terms of how you feel when you eat it, just as good flavor-wise, just not fucking kill you.
unidentified
Explain to me why I can eat bread in Spain and in, I can, in Greece, Italy.
No problem.
I was gluten-free in 15 years.
I've been gluten-free.
In Parana, America can't eat it.
That's because in America, what we call bread can't even be considered food in parts of Europe.
See, here in America, it's not so much the gluten as what we've done to the grain.
About 200 years ago, we started stripping the brain and germ or the fiber and nutrients to make flour shelf stable, also nutritionally dead.
Because the nutrients were gone, we enriched it with folic acid, which a large majority of the population can't even metabolize.
Therefore, many people experience fatigue, anxiety, hyperactivity, and inflammation.
But then the bread wasn't white enough, so they bleached it with chlorine gas, and the bread didn't rise enough, so they added a carcinogen called potassium bromate, which is banned in several countries like Europe, the UK, and even China.
Then we wanted to ramp up production, so we started using glyphosate to dry out the wheat before harvest, causing endocrine disruption and damaging your gut.
So now you're bloated, brain fogged, tired, and blame gluten, but gluten is just the scapegoat.
The real issue is ultra-processed, chemically altered, bleached, bromated, fake vitamin-filled wheat soaked in glyphosate.
This isn't bread.
This is.
matt serra
That's it.
din thomas
That's wild.
joe rogan
That's it.
matt serra
Neon sign up in his thing.
No bleach, no bromate.
joe rogan
That's amazing.
matt serra
Dude, I got fucking absolutely pizza.
It's like heaven.
john rallo
He's at the right time now, too, because people are starting to be made aware.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's yeah, and you can blame it on gluten all you want, but go eat pizza in Italy.
Give it a shot.
You feel good.
matt serra
It's like I'm doing that every day.
john rallo
Pasta there.
joe rogan
Yeah, pasta is incredible.
There's a few places.
john rallo
How I cheat here on pasta.
Like back home, Deep Esqualis is the big Italian spot.
And they have, you can get ricotta gnocchi's.
So they're made with ricotta cheese.
And it's like maybe five grams of carbs and a thing of gnocchi.
joe rogan
Yeah, you could cheat it out, but if you really want to get fucking blasted with some carbs, lasagna will do you in.
Lasagna will do you in.
Oh my God.
There's something about Italian food.
When I'm really hungry, I just can't help it.
I don't care about my diet.
din thomas
Fuck.
The sauces and all that stuff.
Yeah, it gets you.
joe rogan
You know, Joe DeRosa, the comedian, he's got a place called Joey Roses.
It's a sandwich shop.
And Joey Roses, they import all their flour.
That's the thing.
And it's the same thing.
They make their bread fresh every day and they throw it out at the end of the day.
They never use stale bread and they never use any preservatives.
And he's like, that's the difference.
Like, you can eat these sandwiches and you feel good.
It's crazy that that's rare.
Isn't that weird?
din thomas
That's not how you consume food.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, you should be feeling good after you all the time.
joe rogan
Yeah, we're fucking poisoning ourselves.
And the fact that it's illegal in China and all these other places, it's like, how would they?
We're more corrupt than them.
That's crazy.
john rallo
I mean, that was part of it too.
When you talk about the trade imbalances, some of our food not being able to go over there was just the fact that they wouldn't allow the food.
din thomas
Because it's not even food to them.
unidentified
Exactly.
matt serra
It's not even legal, that bromate and shit.
It's fucking crazy.
joe rogan
It's fucked up that we're feeding that to our kids.
And these regulators knew about it.
They knew about it for a long time.
And if you're in that business, if that's your business, you fucking know what's going on.
And you guys let them just do that to people for profit because they can make more money this way.
But also, there's a problem with feeding fucking 300 million people.
That's a problem.
Any disruptions to the food source is a fucking dangerous thing because no one's growing shit.
You know, we're all relying on someone else to do the growing work.
And then what are we doing?
We're fucking going to these farms and catching all the people that are doing the work and then deporting them.
Which is like, whoa, we need it.
din thomas
We need that.
joe rogan
Bro, we can't do anything right.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
We can't do anything right.
unidentified
Be a little fair about the bromate stuff.
joe rogan
It's been used since 1923.
unidentified
And the FDA has been telling people to stop using it since 1991.
Wow.
joe rogan
Don't worry about it.
They've been telling people to stop using it, but they didn't tell them they have to stop using it.
unidentified
Well, they urge people.
joe rogan
It's up to people to do whatever they want in America.
But in America's, is it the only place that uses it?
I don't know about only.
unidentified
I think they said Canada.
din thomas
Yeah, Canada.
joe rogan
Canada.
Of course.
din thomas
They like our little brother.
You know what I'm saying?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
This is part of the show where I talk about AG1, which I've done for years.
And usually I like to talk about routine.
And don't get me wrong, because routine is super important.
And AG1 is exactly the kind of daily, easy routine that can help you feel healthy and help you get the nutrients that your body needs.
But even if you love a routine, isn't it nice to switch it up a little?
Well, here we go.
After 15 years of the original, AG1 Has introduced three new flavors, tropical, berry, and citrus.
It's still daily, it's still a routine, but it's no longer one flavor fits all.
And honestly, the best part is that's the only thing that's changed.
Besides new flavors, we're talking about the same science, the same 75-plus ingredients, and the same exact benefits.
I partnered with AG1 for so long because they're committed to constantly improving.
And now that includes offering three new flavors.
Subscribe today and choose Tropical, Citrus, Berry, or the Classic Original Variety.
If you use my link, you'll also get a free bottle of AGD3K2, an AG1 welcome kit, and five AG1 travel packs with your first subscription.
Just go to drinkag1.com/slash Joe Rogan or head to the link in the description to get started with AG1 and try the new flavors yourself.
That's drinkag1.com/slash Joe Rogan.
Our little cousin that we got to hang out with fucking family weddings.
You know, that one cousin.
And he texts you later, and you're like, Jesus Christ.
din thomas
We all got that one cousin, right?
He's just like, yo, man.
joe rogan
He wasn't talking to you about communist theory.
Like, come on, fuck.
john rallo
Relax.
joe rogan
Shut up.
They're fining people for walking in the woods.
You hear about that?
john rallo
Where?
joe rogan
In Saskatchewan?
Is that where it is, Jamie?
din thomas
I have no idea.
Walking in the woods?
joe rogan
Yeah, this guy got fined.
They told you that if you get caught in the woods because it's so hot out, they're worried about wildfires.
There's no wildfires, but they're worried about wildfires.
Every year you worry about wildfires.
So to combat this, you can find people $28,000 to walk into the woods.
That's a lot of money.
One guy did it.
One guy's like, fuck you, I'm going to the woods.
And then he went viral, of course.
john rallo
Man.
joe rogan
Which is a good move.
Probably.
john rallo
What's going on in this is the guy?
joe rogan
I mean, they're putting a $28,000 removed.
john rallo
They're putting thousands of people in jail for social media posts.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
No, banana stuff.
john rallo
These fuck it's getting everybody's going communist.
joe rogan
Yeah, one person put this Facebook post or something like that critical of immigrants and saying they come over here and rape and murder our women.
And because of putting that up on Facebook, this person got 20 months in jail.
john rallo
Absolutely.
Damn.
joe rogan
20 months.
That was way too much in the UK.
In the UK.
matt serra
That's fucking really easy, dude.
A bunch of sensitive pussies.
joe rogan
They've arrested my friend Constantine Kissing from Trigonometry, the podcast.
He's the one that first told me about all this because he had this conversation with this guy where he said, How many people do you think get arrested for social media posts in Russia?
And, you know, he tells them what the number is.
It's like about 400.
Like, oh, wow.
He goes, how many people do you think get arrested for social media posts in the UK?
And the guy was like, what?
It was like, it's 4,000.
din thomas
Damn.
john rallo
True.
matt serra
Yeah, 40% of the time.
din thomas
Like, what would the charge be for posting something?
joe rogan
They don't have freedom of speech like we do.
john rallo
Dude, I actually saw a police cam video where the fucking cop was telling them that.
Yeah, but your post offended.
Like, it's like, what the fuck do you mean?
I'm going to jail because my post offended someone?
Get the fuck out of here.
joe rogan
A man, what is this, Jamie?
A man has been jailed for Facebook person encouraging violence.
He's been jailed for 20 months for encouraging people on social media to attack a hotel in Leeds housing more than 200 migrants.
So is this the same guy, Jamie?
unidentified
I Googled man jailed in the UK for Facebook post 20 months.
This is what came up.
joe rogan
Interesting.
Well, that's different.
john rallo
That's Google funneling you what they want you to see.
Oh, he's talking about violence.
unidentified
Oh.
joe rogan
No, but I'm not sure.
I mean, maybe he was talking about violence.
john rallo
I mean, this guy obviously was.
joe rogan
I'm willing to wager there were more.
Where the whatever the guy with the wig is.
What are they called over there?
john rallo
Yeah, right.
joe rogan
They wear the wig.
The dude, if you can find the video, Jimmy, the guy's full-on wearing the wig.
din thomas
A wig, like a George Washington wig.
joe rogan
And so he reads the Facebook post that this guy made, you know, which wasn't nice.
But then, you know, then he says, like, for this egregious crime, I sentence you to 20 months of detention.
And even the wording they use is weird.
It wasn't like detention.
It was like a weird euphemism for fucking jail.
matt serra
He's on timeout.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It was weird listening to him talk.
It was super dystopian.
He's got a custodial sentence and He only has to serve half of it.
Oh, so then there's to serve 10 months in a prison for making a post on Facebook.
Can you find the video, Jamie?
unidentified
Well, I appreciate it.
joe rogan
Sure.
Find the video because it's kind of funny when you see the guy's wig.
Like, they have to wear the wig.
That's like the move over there.
The old school powdered wig.
john rallo
Wasn't it back in the day?
Didn't they used to wear them to hide shit?
joe rogan
No, it was syphilis.
matt serra
They were losing it.
joe rogan
I don't wait.
Yeah.
That's where the term big wig comes from.
Because the richest people got the biggest wigs.
They all got syphilis.
So this is what happened.
They came over to America, right?
In the 1492 days.
When they came back, they brought syphilis.
And syphilis just going rampant through these European cultures.
And these people have told me that.
din thomas
So syphilis came from here and then went back there.
joe rogan
This is the thought.
So there's different types of syphilis, but they're pretty sure there's some evidence that indicates that one type of syphilis was transferred from Native American populations to Europeans.
Native Americans who had already had a resistance to it, just like we had a resistance to smallpox and the flu when the Europeans came over here, and that's what the Indians did, and that's why they got wiped out.
Well, they didn't have resistance to this kind of syphilis.
This is like hole in your face.
Your hair falls out.
This is the guy.
Listen to this motherfucker.
unidentified
You did not want your money going to immigrants who, quote, rape our kids and get priority, end quote.
This offense is so serious that an immediate custodial sentence is unavoidable.
Would you stand, please?
The sentence that I passed has been reduced by one-third to reflect your guilty plea.
The sentence is one of 20 months imprisonment.
Say that you didn't have to do that.
john rallo
This guy said he didn't want his money going to immigrants and went to jail.
This wasn't somebody threatening violence.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
They edited the post, so we don't know what else to do.
Right, there was an edit.
I was going to point that out.
There's something there.
So this, here's the thing, too.
Whenever it's possible for something like this to exist, whenever it's possible, there's going to be a bunch of people from other countries that edit stuff to make you more mad at the people in the UK.
Like, China does that in America.
There's a lot going on with social media and these kind of clips and posts and stuff.
There's a lot more going on than makes sense.
matt serra
People always bitch about America, but look at that shit.
You know what I mean?
They're not locking anybody up over here yet.
joe rogan
You can't bitch about America in comparison.
The whole rest of the world is way worse in terms of how you're able to express yourself, the consequences of expressing yourself.
This is a pretty good spot.
It's just not perfect.
matt serra
It's a cool thing.
It feels weird now that it's like the younger generation, everybody's like, they just like, it feels cool to say, like, fuck America.
Like, people are like, you wear an American shirt, they just think you're a fucking MAGA guy or something.
It's like, dude, you can't be proud of where you're from.
You're from America.
You can't be proud of your country.
joe rogan
America's everything.
It's all the things.
You know, it's just, we're so tribalized, and we have to get over that.
That's the number one problem is people decide that there's people that they hate and they hate everything about them.
And then, okay, now you got 50% of the country that you can't associate with that's not on your team.
Like, what did you do?
And so, well, now you have to justify everything your team believes in, including shit that doesn't make any sense and shit that is probably immoral, you know, especially when you get into like trans kid surgeries and shit like that.
You have to sign off on that because if you don't, then you're signing off on these right-wing bigots that want to fucking, you know, put the Bible and everything.
john rallo
You're a Nazi.
joe rogan
Yeah, you're a Nazi.
It's like bad.
Both fucking versions are bad of both sides when you're looking at it from the other side because it's all cartoonish.
Because most people live in the middle of shit.
john rallo
Yeah.
I mean, I feel that's 100% true.
Most people are in the middle.
I think you made like the point you made earlier, too.
You're getting just fired through the algorithm, you know, the shit that pisses you off if that's what you're clicking on all day long anyway.
So it just drives that wedge deeper and deeper, I think, because you're just inundated 24-7.
Like sometimes you just got to stop and get outside or watch a TV show to decompress.
matt serra
That's the fucking problem, though.
You can't even enjoy.
Man, what they did with Star Wars, with the Oculite.
You can't even enjoy.
You can't enjoy.
I love the pop culture.
I love movies.
I tried to watch the electric state, that fucking thing, because I love robots going fucking rogue and AI.
joe rogan
Watch the electric state.
matt serra
It's a Netflix movie with Chris Pratt.
And it looked like a big budget.
It was by the Russo brothers who did The Venges and shit.
So like, I go about AI robots.
Dude, what a piece of shit.
I couldn't even get through the opening.
And then, I know what I don't like.
I don't like when I'm watching a movie and already I see, okay, I know who the director voted for.
Like, you know what I mean?
They're bringing up the uprising or the robots.
And they go, and to celebrate the enslavement of the robots, Kid Rock did a concert.
Oh, did he really?
Did he really, you fucking assholes?
Can't I enjoy this shit?
Okay, you're on that side.
Go fuck.
I turned it off.
You're bringing me right out of it because you're showing me like you're taking shots for the audience to know.
Dude, fuck off.
I want to see some fucking robots.
I want to see, I want to be entertained.
I don't want to know about your fucking politics.
joe rogan
I feel like we have political fatigue, though.
I feel like most people are tired of talking about it.
Most people are like, just stop.
din thomas
That's where I'm at.
I don't want to talk about this shit ever.
joe rogan
It's also, it's like pretending that one side is beyond reproach is fucking ridiculous.
And if you're one of those tribal people, you have to do that.
You have to support your side.
And like, that just gets nuts.
You can't do that.
There's too many people.
There's too many financial interests.
There's too much money.
There's too much shit going on.
There's too much.
Why is there a bro mate in my bread, bitch?
din thomas
Exactly.
matt serra
Exactly.
din thomas
That's the political home.
john rallo
Angela number five.
joe rogan
You motherfuckers have been doing a terrible job of taking care of us.
You're not really taking care of us.
We want to think you're like a cool counselor or something like that.
It's like looking out for the rest of the kids that are on this camp together.
You know, like our councilman is going to take care of us.
They're going to teach us how to get through the woods.
Meanwhile, they're just stealing money.
john rallo
No, you can't go to the woods.
It's a 28,000 hours.
unidentified
That's Canada.
joe rogan
But that's Canada.
I mean, but this is the problem with places that don't have the freedoms that we have.
Like the Constitution, our founding fathers, they nailed it.
john rallo
They really did.
joe rogan
It's crazy that they nailed that so well.
They knew human nature so well that it applies like it's important 300 years later.
john rallo
Maybe since they came from a monarchy, you know what I mean?
They gave them that perspective.
joe rogan
They were so smart, but I wonder how many of them were there, right?
Like how many really well-educated people were around back then?
john rallo
Think about the age.
din thomas
Couldn't have been that many.
john rallo
They were kind of young.
din thomas
It ain't even that many now.
john rallo
Not a young man.
Not even young.
We're writing this thing.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Some of them are like in their early 20s.
matt serra
But that's middle age, man.
john rallo
That's a good point, man.
matt serra
It's fucking middle aged.
joe rogan
That's true.
You get an infection back then.
You get staff.
din thomas
That's syphilis.
matt serra
All done by 35 over there.
joe rogan
Yeah, bro.
The syphilis thing is really nuts, though.
But that is why that stupid fucking thing that that guy was wearing on his head.
din thomas
So that's the tradition based off of syphilis.
And they still do this shit today.
joe rogan
Yeah, and the guys with the most money had the biggest wigs.
That's why they call them big wigs.
din thomas
Big wigs.
joe rogan
It all started with these two brothers that were royals.
Was it brother or a guy and his cousin?
I forget.
But these guys who are royals in France.
And these guys were like, you know, the socialites.
They were the celebrated people.
And they started losing their hair because they're freaks.
You know, they're probably fucking up a storm over there and they're catching syphilis.
And they got holes in their face and shit.
And they smell awful.
And their fucking hair's falling out.
So they just get a wig.
And then other dudes say, I want to be like him.
So they got wigs.
And then a bunch of people started getting syphilis.
They covered it up with wigs.
din thomas
But that's crazy to me that you're almost celebrating having syphilis by getting a bigger wig.
joe rogan
Well, you know what it is?
It's like you're not celebrating syphilis, but since everybody's wearing a wig, your wig is the dopest one.
matt serra
That's right.
din thomas
We got to have a dopest one right now.
joe rogan
It's crazy that it's all because of sexually transmitted diseases.
matt serra
Wearing that shit.
john rallo
It's crazy.
It's crazy.
That's our first export, syphilis.
joe rogan
I think it was smallpox, man.
Smallpox wiped out the whole country.
The whole country, the whole, all of North America was filled with people.
They all got killed.
It's like 90% of the people got killed.
din thomas
Damn.
Hold on.
matt serra
What year was that?
joe rogan
This was between the times of the first settlers to the 1800s.
It was 90%.
john rallo
90%.
Like Native Americans died from disease that Europeans broke.
joe rogan
And you know, for a long time, they were trying to deny, they were trying to figure out what happened to the Mayans.
Well, I'll tell you what happened to the Mayans.
unidentified
Disease.
joe rogan
Disease.
Obviously, Europeans, they had this spectacular civilization in Mexico.
If you ever go down and you ever go and seen any of the ruins?
john rallo
Yeah, I went to Cheat.
I was in Cheechina.
unidentified
Cheechinese.
din thomas
Yeah, I went there too.
Yeah, I went there too.
joe rogan
It was a couple months ago.
john rallo
It's amazing.
joe rogan
Fucking dope.
It's dope.
But like, what were they?
What drugs were these mothers?
din thomas
Yeah, how were they building that shit?
john rallo
I don't know, man.
din thomas
A thousand years ago.
john rallo
It was pretty amazing to see.
And even like the, remember that the ball court they had where you can stand at one end or the other and you could hear each other talking and shit because of the acoustics.
unidentified
And it's just the sheer size of it.
john rallo
The size of it.
din thomas
It's like, wow.
joe rogan
And then just wiped out by a cough.
Like dirty, stinky Europeans right off the boat, breathing on everybody, swept through the people, no immunity to it.
That's crazy.
john rallo
That's pretty wild, man.
joe rogan
It's exactly what happened to all the Amazon, too, man.
They're finding that out now.
The Amazon was all just disease.
Damn.
They had millions of people who were living in the Amazon, and some Europeans went to visit, and like, I forget what year it was, but they came back and had these stories about these beautiful cities and filled with gold and all this crazy shit.
And then people went back 100 years later, it was all gone.
Oh, they said, oh, this guy was lying.
matt serra
White tourists.
joe rogan
But it wasn't that.
Isn't that crazy?
It wasn't lies.
So now they use LIDAR and they scan over the top of the forest and they see where these cities used to be.
john rallo
There's so much shit over there that they haven't even uncovered.
joe rogan
It's just nuts that it's just dirty diseases.
Those first people, they fucking hey, coming over to fucking disease.
john rallo
They were hard-ass enough to make it here.
You know, they were bringing some shit with them.
joe rogan
Oh, bro, you know how hard people must have been back then?
Just to even say, okay, I'm going to try it.
When someone says, hey, we've got a wood boat and we're going to go out there.
We have no idea if we're going.
din thomas
I've always given Christopher Columbus credit for that shit.
On a fucking wooden boat in the middle.
I can't even fucking find directions to get to the fucking apex half the time.
joe rogan
The crazy thing is, we give him credit for landing here, and he didn't even make it here.
He landed in the Indies, right?
Like the West Indies.

Where did Columbus actually land?
It was like near the Bahamas.
He wasn't even in America.
john rallo
Bahamas is the best.
din thomas
Hey, I don't give a fuck where he landed.
That motherfucker went out into the ocean 500 years ago on a boat.
joe rogan
We give him Christopher Columbus Day about land here.
john rallo
I mean, I'm looking at the Vikings.
These motherfuckers, you know, just conquered nations going everywhere.
joe rogan
So, what does it say here?
San Salvador in the Bahamas.
Yeah.
First land on an island in the Bahamas.
That is not America, bitch.
You don't get credit for discovering America.
john rallo
The Italians are, we're taking credit anyway.
joe rogan
But that's probably when those diseases started hitting them areas.
unidentified
Also, the history of smallpox goes back to the sixth century, starting in China.
joe rogan
Smallpox does?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Interesting.
So the sixth century, and then was it mostly smallpox that killed off the Native Americans?
Or was it a bunch of different diseases that we brought with us?
unidentified
Problem.
john rallo
I mean, there it is.
unidentified
17th century European settlers bring smallpox to North America.
joe rogan
There's an amazing guy named what is that, Jeremy?
European settlers are here with Christopher Columbus.
That's in the 16th century.
unidentified
That's right?
1500s?
joe rogan
Right.
unidentified
If he landed in 1490s.
john rallo
Yeah, 1400.
joe rogan
That's 200 years later almost.
Right.
Well, it's probably like how many people came.
You know what I mean?
Like when Christopher Columbus came, that was, so this was 1492.
He lands in the Bahamas.
Yeah.
How many people were interacting with them?
You know what I mean?
How many people, once they started coming over here regularly?
Like, when did folks start hopping in boats and coming over regularly?
Like the early settlers.
din thomas
I wouldn't have did it.
unidentified
How many naked lands go across the fucking way?
joe rogan
No fucking way.
Those people were animals, man.
unidentified
For real.
joe rogan
You're going to take a chance.
This dude knows how to get across the ocean in a wooden boat using a thing.
din thomas
Yeah.
unidentified
We stare at the stars and try to figure out where you are.
joe rogan
And he's drunk all the time.
Jamestown was 1607 when that started.
That's when it started, huh?
Interesting.
john rallo
Well, that would be.
joe rogan
So that probably makes sense for us.
So like 100 fucking years they talked about it.
Isn't that kind of crazy?
matt serra
I like in Vikings.
joe rogan
You see the show?
unidentified
Vikings?
joe rogan
Vikings talked about America for 100 years before they came over.
matt serra
Oh, no shit.
joe rogan
Yeah, so it's like he lands in the Bahamas and then 100 years later.
din thomas
Oh, right.
And then most people started.
joe rogan
Yeah, then they start the first colony.
john rallo
I wonder how long it took him just to get across.
joe rogan
Can you imagine what it would be like setting up a colony in a new country?
And you know, there's people with bows and arrows.
You knew the first people that set up the colony.
They knew.
matt serra
They knew that there's the fucking Indians waiting for them.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, everybody knew.
They knew that this was inhabited and they knew the type of people.
They'd come back, you know, whether it was Columbus's people or the other, whoever was here, came back and they had all these crazy stories about, you know, interacting with.
Also, the craziest stories were from, there was a, one of the guys was a priest or something, some holy man that was traveling with Columbus who had a detailed description of the horrific shit Columbus and his men did to whoever the indigenous people were that they encountered.
Oh, horrible shit.
Where they were saying, if you don't bring back your weight and gold, we'll chomp off your arms.
They were chomping arms off, dashing babies' heads on rocks.
Yeah, they were forcing these people to bring them gold.
It's like, do you remember that guy's name, Father Something or another?
So he had his memoirs of his time over there with Christopher Columbus's people.
And he was like, it was horrific.
So these people that we celebrate, I mean, this is one thing that the Wokesters got right.
You know, if you want to celebrate Christopher Columbus, like Christopher Columbus, we have Columbus Day.
Be careful who you're celebrating.
If that father, that priest was telling the truth, you're celebrating a monster.
You're celebrating literally like a mass murderer who would go to another.
din thomas
I mean, but it's believable when you think about history.
joe rogan
Bro, that's all they did.
din thomas
For sure.
john rallo
You mean everybody conquered everybody at one point or another.
joe rogan
Yeah, and when there was no internet, you could get away with a lot.
A whole lot.
john rallo
A whole lot.
joe rogan
Yeah, nobody knew you were coming.
You're coming with boats.
You're fucking people up.
You're taking all their shit.
And when you land places, you're like, it was like, this is probably the only time in history where a boat can land in a place and it's not hostile.
In America, when boats come here, it's like where you land.
But for the most part, most boat travels not hostile.
It's like, oh, look, a big boat full of people.
They're going to come eat at our restaurants.
And strange people from a different land are going to come and enjoy what we have to offer here in Portugal or wherever you are.
john rallo
Some people are counting on that.
joe rogan
Bro, it used to be a boat showed up.
din thomas
You didn't know what it was.
joe rogan
It was on.
din thomas
She's got the war horns.
joe rogan
You hear a fucking shell.
unidentified
Fuck.
joe rogan
You got to wake up, put your armor on.
unidentified
Fuck.
joe rogan
I can't believe I got to do this.
john rallo
Just imagine that shit.
joe rogan
Bro, that's how they live forever.
That's how people live for thousands of years.
It's nuts.
It's amazing we made it as far as we did.
din thomas
I don't know if we'll do another thousand.
joe rogan
I think it's a lot of people.
din thomas
Not with these technical motherfuckers.
No, I'm just saying, like, think about where the people are.
Think about where we are now.
Like, those dudes, they was hard, right?
Like, regardless, they was hard.
Now we in TikTok culture.
matt serra
We got hard like that.
joe rogan
No, there's a lot of that.
And there's an encouragement of men to not be strong, which is always weird.
john rallo
Pushing out the business.
joe rogan
It's always weird.
There's that encouragement.
And it comes from people that aren't strong.
They want more people like them.
More like us.
When they're in control of social media, that's where things get weird.
matt serra
The fucking afterlight, I'll tell you, they clipped all the balls from the Jedis.
Nobody's going to want an action figure of that fucking little Star Wars.
Well, I mean, they made it.
john rallo
I mean, they pussified the Hulk in Marvel.
joe rogan
Yeah, they gave him glasses and now he can talk.
Now it doesn't even make any sense that you would go back and forth between being the Hulk and being Bruce Banner.
din thomas
Yeah, because he wasn't all in this.
joe rogan
They made this smart guy who's weak.
john rallo
Yeah, Mysterious.
din thomas
And that was my favorite movie.
matt serra
That wasn't that great that movie.
But Superman.
joe rogan
That is a weird movie.
It's a weird choice to give a guy role to a girl.
It's a weird choice because there's so many girl roles in Super Chick superheroes.
Especially in the X-Men.
The X-Men had plenty of backgrounds.
john rallo
They had tons of them, right?
matt serra
They got to do that over right now.
joe rogan
It's like you've got Superwoman.
There's plenty of different characters you could play.
I don't know why.
Unless you're trying to prove a point.
Like Matt Sarah says, I know who you voted for.
matt serra
Yeah.
To be fair, there is a female Silver Surfer.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
For all the people that did it.
john rallo
Well, here's the deal with that.
She was in maybe two episodes where she mattered, and the rest of them, she was mentioned.
Like, she's not a real character.
joe rogan
Bro, I used to love the Silver Surfer.
Did anybody ever do a comic surface flat-out movie that's any good?
john rallo
Not a straight-up one.
I thought the first Fantastic Four one, they got the Silver Surfer pretty good in that one.
joe rogan
Why wouldn't they have a Silver Surfer movie?
That's a no.
No, that's like my favorite character.
Silver Surfer.
john rallo
Cosmic character.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Zen is fucked.
Never gets upset.
john rallo
1,000%.
I mean, he basically sacrificed himself to save his planet and his girl.
joe rogan
Bro, the Silver Surfer is literally the coolest comic book guy.
matt serra
He made him look cool in this.
joe rogan
Rise of the Silver Surfer.
john rallo
Yeah, I thought this was.
joe rogan
They did a version of a whole episode of The Avengers or a whole movie of The Avengers on the Silver Surfer.
I forgot that.
matt serra
Fantastic Four.
joe rogan
What year was that?
john rallo
This was Fantastic Four.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, Fantastic Four.
This was pre-2007.
john rallo
This was when Jessica Alba was the Invisible Woman.
joe rogan
2007.
john rallo
And the Captain America was the human torch.
That guy Chris Evans.
din thomas
Yeah, he was cool.
Who played Silver Surfer in this?
john rallo
I don't remember.
joe rogan
It might have been all seasonal.
john rallo
He looked the part, though.
I thought they nailed it, I thought, in this.
unidentified
The thing looks good.
din thomas
The voice was Lawrence Fishermart.
I remember that.
matt serra
When I was chubby, I looked like Michael Chiklitz.
Whatever the fuck is it?
joe rogan
The Shield.
john rallo
Chicklitz.
The Shield movie was a show.
din thomas
Yeah, that was a great show.
matt serra
It kind of looked like the thing.
But yeah, I saw that new Fantastic Four movie, and it wasn't overly woke or anything, but they could have done more with the thing.
john rallo
Yeah, I heard he was like a minor part.
matt serra
You know, the girls had the best parts.
They're the ones that did the thing with Galactus at the end.
I don't know.
No spoilers.
What fuck.
So, you know.
But I am happy to say, and I know you were waiting for me to bring it up.
I enjoyed the new Superman.
joe rogan
I didn't see it yet.
matt serra
Of course not.
We're all adults except for me.
joe rogan
I want to see it, though.
I heard it's good.
matt serra
James Gunn, man.
I don't believe I never heard of that song Punk Rocker by Teddy Bears.
Oh, that'll change your life.
It has Iggy Pop in it.
Oh, it gets my nipples hard.
It's so good.
And the movie, if you like Guardians of the Galaxy, which I'm sure you did, they were good.
Then you'll like this because it's just fun.
Let's have fun again.
I am nothing against the Henry Caval one.
He was a badass.
john rallo
He was good.
matt serra
But it was a little, you know, Snyder's got that darker feeling.
joe rogan
It's still kind of weird that we still want to see the same fucking characters over and over and over again in different versions of the same movie.
Like, isn't it kind of weird?
matt serra
No, because I love it.
Some people love those movies.
joe rogan
I can understand, but it's like there's a little thing of it that it's like seeking comfort in this thing.
Oh, it's Superman again.
din thomas
Like, not letting go of our childhood.
john rallo
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
100%.
100%.
Because, like, try coming up with a new Superman today.
People are going to be like, fuck you.
Like, some new kind of comic book guy.
Like, no background at all in comic Books.
So you come up with a superhero type character now in a movie.
No one's going to watch it.
din thomas
Right.
joe rogan
Like, I don't want a new one.
No one wants a new one.
Everyone wants the Hulk.
Everybody wants Spider-Man.
You want to see Spider-Man?
There's like, how many different dudes have been the Hulk?
Like four or five dudes.
Bunch of dudes.
Ed Norton was the best.
john rallo
They got rid of him because he wanted to keep the Hulk like the Hulk.
You know what I mean?
They didn't liken him as a kid.
joe rogan
Yeah, that was my favorite version of the Hulk.
Ed Norton movie.
din thomas
And he's running through the favelas in Brazil.
joe rogan
Yeah, that was awesome.
When the Hulk starts running through that factory and he smashes the whole thing.
That's when it was like, you kind of knew it was bullshit.
You're looking at it like a CGI.
din thomas
It's okay.
john rallo
It's a comic book.
joe rogan
But as long as you keep it kind of darkly lit, you know, don't show me too much.
matt serra
They got better with that.
They got better with the.
joe rogan
That wasn't too long ago for Hancock.
That was a superhero that was just out of nowhere.
matt serra
I can't watch anything with this fucking guy anymore.
joe rogan
I didn't want to watch him.
unidentified
He's so shocked.
din thomas
I was about to say, how did you hear him laughing?
john rallo
His whole life.
He's real corny.
matt serra
And this guy's doubling down on smacking Chris Rock.
You know that?
He has a verse.
It's like, you disrespect me on the stage.
Expect me on the stage.
Which is kind of cool saying, but you know, I mean, that was horseshit.
He's doubling down on it.
john rallo
Spiral, downward spiral.
And then, I mean, you're basically, he stole our show name because he is a cuck.
din thomas
He's saying that.
john rallo
You saw what the hell his wife has humiliated that poor guy.
joe rogan
Yeah, publicly.
unidentified
Man.
joe rogan
Yeah.
That was weird.
john rallo
And he was universally loved, and now he's pretty well almost universally reviled.
unidentified
You know, Chris, and then the music shitty.
din thomas
I was about to say his rap is so trash.
Garbage.
joe rogan
Sometimes you hit your horse to the wrong wagon.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
And that'll take you on a bad journey.
So that'll take you on a bad journey.
And you might hang in there for a while and keep your sanity for a while.
But eventually, if you're living with someone who's not right for you and there's a lot of tension, which there seems to be with them, a lot of weird shit.
matt serra
Important decision is the spouse.
Most important fucking decision.
joe rogan
Gigantic.
john rallo
Yeah, I mean, look at the kids.
joe rogan
At least the son.
Imagine if you had to camp out with your best friend for the rest of your life.
You would have to really be careful.
Like, I have to pick one dude and I'm going to be able to camp out with him for the rest of my life.
Just me and him in a tent for the rest of my life.
matt serra
And you get to fuck him.
Nothing.
I'm going to say personality.
joe rogan
Yeah.
But now you add in sex and the fact that you're not even the same gender.
din thomas
Yeah.
matt serra
You got to be.
My thing is, I always say, you got to be compatible.
You know what I mean?
Me and my wife very compatible.
john rallo
Yeah, me too.
Because man, I got lucky.
matt serra
I can't stand anybody.
joe rogan
Well, you know, you just got to be picky.
And some people aren't.
Some people just settle for hot.
din thomas
Yeah.
That's the problem.
joe rogan
Settle in for a lot of people.
din thomas
And that's always the most dangerous thing.
john rallo
That's the only chart with the hot and the crazy chart.
joe rogan
That's the problem.
matt serra
The girls settle for, all right, shit.
I got to get a kid soon.
I'm going to be 30.
You know, so they'll settle for Mr. Good Enough.
So that's the most important thing.
It's got to be hard for the girls out there, too.
Fucking bunch of savvy.
joe rogan
It's hard for everybody out there.
It's a weird time, and now everybody's on dating apps.
So everybody has a new opportunity at every swipe of the finger.
john rallo
Today it's like socially acceptable to be a hoe.
joe rogan
I think it's also, there's real concerns that intelligent people have about population decline.
That sounds kind of crazy.
Like, well, we're not going to population decline.
There's plenty of people.
But the problem is people are not having nearly as many people, like replacement people.
It's like not enough.
Like, in order for a society to exist at the same numbers, essentially everyone has to have kids.
matt serra
Right.
joe rogan
Right.
But a giant percentage of people, like in our generation and younger generations, are not having kids.
They're deciding to opt out of it and just focus on their career.
john rallo
They say in Italy and here, I mean, Japan, like they're all having a negative population over the years.
Like they're not having enough kids to sustain the population.
joe rogan
And you add into that microplastics that are killing everybody's balls.
john rallo
Knocking down your weird.
joe rogan
It's like a thing that we don't see coming.
You know, we don't see it coming, like real population.
But places like Japan are freaking out, man.
They're really worried about it.
South Korea, same thing.
Yeah, it could be a real problem.
din thomas
I didn't even know that was a thing.
joe rogan
Well, it just makes sense, man.
If you've got everybody just wants to have a career, and if you can't focus on your career because you have kids, you put your kids off till you're in your late 40s.
john rallo
What's the number, like the 2.1 or something?
You know, you have to have 2.1 kids in order to maintain just the current level of population.
joe rogan
Someone was telling me that in vitro fertilization, which a lot of women use, that those hormones that they have to give you are linked to cancer.
john rallo
Really?
joe rogan
Is that true, Jamie?
Can you look that up?
Because someone brought it up to me, and I was like, I don't know if that's really.
matt serra
And why is testosterone in the younger generation not as strong as it used to be?
john rallo
Microplastics.
He had a lady on that went deep into that stuff.
joe rogan
I mean, there's no strong evidence to say this is AI.
AI is working for the government, man.
Okay, let's see.
National Institute of Health says transient increase in the risk of having breast or uterine cancer.
So as soon as you start admitting things like that to me, and this says no conclusive evidence that fertility 1999.
Yeah.
Six years old.
Right.
What does it say?
unidentified
Like, 17 do not.
joe rogan
It says doesn't.
unidentified
Treatments do not increase the risk of ovarian cancer, malignant melanoma, or cancers of the endometrium.
Hmm.
joe rogan
Why am I skeptical?
I don't know.
Maybe I'm skeptical because you're using Google.
Well, I mean, I know, but you know what I'm saying?
That's the place to use.
But I would wonder how much of that would be available.
Like if someone's some sort of an alternative doctor or someone who's stepping outside of the lines and saying, I'm treating a bunch of cases of cancer, like where would you even find that guy's work?
unidentified
I don't know.
No idea.
Twitter?
joe rogan
Yeah, that's the problem, right?
You see a thing on Twitter.
You're like, is this guy a quack?
john rallo
Right.
joe rogan
Is this guy real?
But a person told it to me that I trust.
And I was like, really?
That stuff causes cancer?
Because you've got to dose yourself up with a bunch of hormones when ladies do that in vitro fertilization thing.
matt serra
All I know is I like that now at our age, we're all in our 50s.
Are you 50 yet, motherfucker?
Next year.
din thomas
I'm still in my 40s, man.
matt serra
I mean, are you on T-RT?
Are you on TRT yet?
din thomas
Yeah, yeah, I got a little bit of idea.
matt serra
Thank God we have that, man.
Because back in the day.
joe rogan
Yeah, you'd fall.
matt serra
They'd be fucked up at our best.
john rallo
Back in the day, we would just find it on the street.
joe rogan
You had a different neighborhood.
But those guys were right.
That's what's crazy.
It's like old juice heads were right in a lot of ways.
There's a lot of old juice heads in the gym that were looking jacked in their 50s and 60s.
john rallo
What is he doing?
joe rogan
Bobby just stays on D-ball.
john rallo
These guys are one CC.
joe rogan
You would meet people in the gym that would tell you what they do and how they did it.
And then you had to take advice from those folks.
And a lot of fighters got their.
You would think by the time a fighter gets to the UFC, you know, like, wow, he's probably got a professional team behind him, a bunch of really organized folks.
Like, no, no, no.
These dudes come with sketchy characters.
Like, super sketchy connections to the streets.
john rallo
I just read as much as I could, you know, if you were going to try to get as much information as you could about what you're putting in yourself.
joe rogan
The best guy is online is Derek.
john rallo
One place now today.
He wasn't around in the 80s and 90s.
joe rogan
I know, but he's like the best first pro scientist.
john rallo
He's a smart motherfucker.
joe rogan
Smart motherfucker.
unidentified
Yeah.
matt serra
I wouldn't fuck with that myself.
Like, I go to a place that, you know, they check my blood every six weeks.
You got to donate blood now.
You got to do this and that so it doesn't get too thick, you know?
joe rogan
I heard that before, but I don't have that problem for some reason.
john rallo
Yeah, it doesn't do it.
I think it doesn't, you know, every once in a while doesn't do it to everybody.
matt serra
They go donate the blood.
joe rogan
No, I was recommended to check it a bunch of times.
Like, make sure I'm okay.
Yeah, you're perfect.
din thomas
I only had to do the blood twice.
You do it every six weeks?
matt serra
No.
john rallo
No, you mean you're getting checked me.
matt serra
They check me, and if it gets too high, my red blood cells or whatever they do.
john rallo
So you're just getting the finger prick to see what you're doing.
matt serra
Yeah, they take a little blood out and then they check it, and then they check all my everything.
john rallo
Well, they can do your red blood cell count.
Like, if you go donate blood, they fucking prick your finger and check what your level is.
matt serra
Yeah, I go there.
Well, my place finds out first, and then they say, all right, I could either do a dump there, but they don't use the blood.
I like to donate it because I feel better about blood.
john rallo
Yeah, I do decide.
joe rogan
Do you have unvaccinated blood?
Do you have pure blood?
john rallo
I got pure blood, man.
din thomas
I don't.
joe rogan
They pay me double three times.
din thomas
I got all three of them.
You know what happened there?
Yeah, I got all.
I had to.
I had to.
joe rogan
Why?
Because you had to work.
din thomas
I had to work.
matt serra
You made it what?
UFC meeting.
din thomas
Yeah, they made it.
matt serra
They didn't make me.
I fucking didn't know shit.
joe rogan
But I got to travel, though.
If you travel in all of the places.
matt serra
Fuck sad.
john rallo
Some of these countries weren't letting you in without it.
din thomas
Yeah, yeah, they wouldn't let us in without it.
joe rogan
When you fucking make someone take something because the only way they could use your service is if they take, because you think that this thing is going to work and it doesn't work, shouldn't you be able to go, fuck you?
unidentified
You made me take this and this thing didn't even work.
joe rogan
It didn't even do any of the things you said.
unidentified
Yeah.
matt serra
I feel bad for the people.
joe rogan
It's crazy what you can get away with in the world, especially during something like a pandemic, you know, where everybody just agrees to different rules.
Because that's what happened during the pandemic.
din thomas
I was thinking about that shit.
Are people still dying from COVID?
unidentified
No.
din thomas
That's what I'm saying.
Like, what happened today?
joe rogan
There's people that are dying with COVID.
So there's people that are dying and they also have COVID.
But they're dying.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
Right.
And that's the difference.
And that's why the numbers for the deaths were elevated so high.
john rallo
You got a cancer or you had COVID.
joe rogan
It was COVID, bro.
Shark attack.
Check the fetus.
He's got COVID.
Yeah, like everybody died of COVID.
Because they were financially incentivized people to treat deaths as COVID does.
john rallo
Same with the ventilators.
They were getting more money if they had somebody put on a ventilator.
And then they find out the ventilators were killing people.
matt serra
Bro, imagine that.
joe rogan
There was so much craziness.
Like, you know, when we were saying we hope that someone is in charge that knows exactly what to do.
And no, there's a lot of times in history you have no idea what the fuck they're doing.
And then financial interests get involved.
And then they come up with, we're going to just make everybody take this.
This is going to be amazing.
din thomas
Yeah, a lot of money.
joe rogan
By the way, they all did it.
Just take it once.
john rallo
They can't take you to court.
joe rogan
And they can't take it.
john rallo
They fuck their liability.
joe rogan
Because they called it a vaccine, but it's not even really a vaccine.
It's a gene therapy.
It's a totally novel new thing that you're giving to 300 million people just in this country alone.
matt serra
The ads were so shady.
Like, I'd be in my car and it'd be like two students talking.
Like, my parents don't want me to take it, but I'm really nervous.
It was like, really crazy.
I'm like, what the fuck is this?
john rallo
So nuts.
joe rogan
Bro, that's so nuts.
You know how many people have stories where they let their kid take it and then the kid has a stroke?
They're all over online.
john rallo
Myocarditis was a big thing.
joe rogan
Myocarditis.
Yeah, there's undiagnosed myocarditis out there too, I bet, where people just feel tired all the time, feel a little fatigued.
Yeah.
din thomas
So am I the only one here who got the vaccine?
john rallo
Yeah.
joe rogan
Jamie got COVID real early.
Jamie survived it early, so I knew I knew it was not that big a deal.
matt serra
Good job, Jamie.
din thomas
Took one for the team, Jamie.
joe rogan
Jamie toughed it through.
Jamie seems okay.
And then Tony Hitchcliffe got it.
He got it worse than Jamie.
He had it a little longer than you, right?
unidentified
I don't know.
joe rogan
You don't remember?
Yeah, man.
The creepy thing is these motherfuckers, they meet and then they say, oh, there will be another pandemic.
You're like, how do you know?
unidentified
Yeah.
john rallo
Well, what about Biden and friends were trying to sign one with the WHO where they had control over being able to shut the U.S. down and all this nonsense.
Thank God we pulled right the fuck out of that.
joe rogan
What a dumb idea.
Let some giant global health organization.
It's fully corrupt.
Let these motherfuckers run the country because Bill Gates is a core one.
Yeah.
Just nuts, man.
It's just nuts.
matt serra
Crazy shit.
Before I got here, I was watching fucking Comzat versus Kamar Uzman.
Not to just jump into that now.
joe rogan
Yeah, let's jump into it.
matt serra
You know, I had Drake's on Unfiltered the other day.
john rallo
Yep.
matt serra
And, you know, he's an intelligent guy, man.
He's not a guy that doesn't do his homework.
And he was just saying about everybody talks about how aggressive Comzat is.
And he goes, watch his fight in Kamar Uzman in the second round.
Over three minutes of him just standing there.
john rallo
Standing there.
matt serra
He's like, he's not going to be able to do that to me.
He's going to be working the whole time.
He trains so fucking hard that he puts out everything in that five minutes.
That one minute gets him right back.
It's almost like he approaches that at like five different fights.
Like, you know what I mean?
Because in that one minute, he comes back down and then he goes back out there again, Dracis.
And we were just talking that we saw, you saw the same thing I saw with his grappling ability.
He took out a whole I mean, listen, it's different.
Those guys are a lot of guard players.
But he did a quintet and submitted everybody.
Again, they were more jujitsu guys.
It's a different type of style, but that was impressive.
Not to mention, and I looked, you know, my producers gave me his bio and everything.
And I'm like, dude, he started his first thing in the first entry into martial arts was at five years old doing judo.
And his second discipline was at 12 years old doing wrestling.
I mean, it's not like he's not a grappler.
Everybody's just so used to him fucking throwing his bombs and his kicks.
john rallo
Well, you know, I'm on your side with this.
We had that talk last night.
unidentified
I know.
joe rogan
He's a monster.
And there's guys, and you know this because you work with Murab.
There's guys that reach this level of discipline and they achieve a level of cardiovascular performance that's just above everybody else's, and then they maintain it.
Like they get that advantage and they keep pushing it and they slowly keep adding on to it.
Like you're seeing Murab now, particularly in the second O'Malley fight.
You're just like a totally different beast.
He's super non-stop.
Non-stop, and you can't keep up with that.
You know, he's like, it's just hard work.
It's just hard work.
I believe that, but man.
john rallo
Yeah, but state of mind, too.
Like, he believes it mentally.
joe rogan
But the amount of hard work is extraordinary to get to that level.
And I think Dricus is kind of a similar kind of guy.
I think that dude works so hard that he can go out there and fight full blast, which is what's weird to when you watch him fight.
Like sometimes it doesn't look as clear.
john rallo
He looks like he's mouth-breathing, but he just keeps the same thing.
joe rogan
That was a lot of that was the earlier fights before he got his nose fixed.
So he got his nose fixed.
All right.
So he could breathe out of his nose.
Changed everything and then went on a tear after that.
That's when he crushed Whitaker.
Like the Whitaker one was shocking.
Because we all know how durable Whitaker is.
The Yoel Romero fights.
Like that guy's durable as fuck.
To watch him just flatten him like that, you're like, whoa.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Hang on.
matt serra
He's funny.
He says he goes, I don't, he's like, I don't have a great polka face.
He goes, people say I look tired because I am tired.
And when you get tired, you breathe out of your mouth more.
And he goes, but even if I am tired, I don't have a poker face, but I'm still coming forward.
I'm still going to.
And he has, he's got, man, he's got confidence.
He's beaming with confidence.
He's just that guy.
din thomas
I mean, he's a good champion.
He's a great champion.
He speaks well.
Yeah.
joe rogan
Much apart.
It's interesting.
The Izzy fight.
I went and watched that again.
And, you know, it seemed like Izzy had an advantage up to a point, but then the pressure got to him.
Then he got hit with a couple of those long shots.
And it just looked like he just didn't have enough in him to fight his way out of it.
And when he went down, he got submitted pretty quickly afterwards.
But I would wonder what Izzy in his prime, how that fight would have looked.
Because that would have been a lot different.
A lot, you know, Izzy in his prime when he was, you know, he was a little quicker, a little bit more angles.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
Also, just hadn't been damaged.
And there's the damage of training.
But like, Izzy Paulo Costa.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's prime.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's prime.
That's also motivated, Izzy.
Like, fuck you.
din thomas
He was sitting down on his shots.
Izzy, yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, put him away quick and then dry humped him.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, don't do that, kids.
But that is the that would have been very interesting to see him versus Dricus because he could have handled that pressure.
Because that pressure, the pressure is bananas.
You know, like Anthony and Hernandez fight last week.
unidentified
Jesus.
joe rogan
That pressure is nuts.
din thomas
Crazy.
Man, I was like, you couldn't keep up with him, dude.
matt serra
He looked like a different level.
john rallo
He looked great.
matt serra
He's Roman.
john rallo
Looked amazing.
joe rogan
He looks like a world champion.
He looks like a world champion.
john rallo
I spoiled it for you guys.
Sorry about that.
joe rogan
No worries.
No, I was out.
Yeah, when I came home, I was like, fuck.
I didn't see it yet, but I watched it as soon as I got home.
I was super impressed, man.
And that whole division is like, Jesus, there's so many different contenders in that division.
You got Bohali.
matt serra
Yeah, this whole fight card.
john rallo
Another dude with a gas tank.
joe rogan
Strickland, like, what's going to happen with Strickland?
They suspended him indefinitely for punching some dude.
matt serra
Oh, did you see that?
din thomas
Like, he didn't have to do that, man.
Those guys got it.
Him and Chris Curtis, man, they just, man, you can't fuck with them.
unidentified
Yeah.
din thomas
Because they, yeah, they will not back down.
You just can't fuck with them.
joe rogan
Yeah, and you can't, but you can't jump into a cage and punch.
din thomas
That's what I'm saying.
joe rogan
Like, I don't care in front of everybody.
matt serra
That guy was being a little disrespectful, though.
I like Strickland.
Fuck that guy.
I mean, that was kind of.
And then they interviewed that guy after that.
He's like, you know, he doesn't have anything on the mic.
He's like, yeah, well, it's entertainment.
It's like, oh, boy, he was.
joe rogan
Jesus.
matt serra
He got what he wanted.
joe rogan
He got his shit what he wanted.
matt serra
Yeah, he got his two seconds.
joe rogan
But Sean is crazy.
din thomas
Yeah, man.
Those guys.
joe rogan
He's really late, man.
He is what he sells.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know what I mean?
He walks that fucking shit.
john rallo
He definitely want an act.
joe rogan
You ever see when that guy tried to, well, the guy who was like running from the cops and he was sneaking around his house.
matt serra
He comes out of the house.
joe rogan
Sean came out with a pistol.
john rallo
Yeah, I did see that.
joe rogan
The dude had like crashed DUI and then jumped out of the car running into the wrong fucking yard right into strong Sean Strickland.
unidentified
I mean, a lot of times now, though, waiting to shoot somebody, bro.
matt serra
He sucks.
Oh, that's a wet dream for him.
Yeah, but you know, nowadays with that guy and being disrespectful like that, there's just so everybody's so used to no repercussions.
It's like, yeah, so everybody just gets so much ruder.
john rallo
I always say that.
Bring bullies back.
The world was a better place.
joe rogan
Teach everybody martial arts.
I mean, that would help because this just sucks when a guy who is into martial arts like Strickland does something.
And you still love him.
matt serra
I told them a story last night where Long goes like, yeah, this kid wants to do an interview.
His mother's a little overbearing.
And, you know, she's a little crazy.
But then, how about the kid?
The kid's a nice kid.
So I'm like, all right.
So after a Saturday class, I got like 60 people.
You know, I get up.
My nights aren't great because my ulcerative colitis, but you know, I'm energetic.
I do my class.
I do this thing for this kid, 12-year-old kid, and the mother's like, oh, we want to inspire the youth of today because they're all little shit.
She's an Irish lady.
And then, so I sit down with this kid.
I'm like, all right, you know, he goes, okay, I'm here with freaking UFC legend Matt Sarah, and I'm 12 years old, and yet we managed to be the same exact height.
unidentified
I got fucking, I got, I got blindstarted by this little fuck.
matt serra
So now, and when he said that, the husband and the wife are the husbands behind the cat.
I'm like, dude, I'm seeing red.
joe rogan
I want to fucking so they're laughing.
matt serra
Oh, they're like, in other words, they want a response.
So I'm like, so my first thought was directed towards the father who might have taught this kid no matter.
john rallo
Stop lying.
The kid's your size.
You wanted to hit him.
unidentified
I wanted to see more than the fucking Loki and that motherfucker.
matt serra
I was going to take that little fuck.
So then I remembered that I got my daughters in there.
So I go.
So he tried to ask me.
I go, oh, so I go, who came up with that question, bud?
He goes, me, me.
Now, this kid knows I can't strangle him.
I want to kill his fat father.
And then I remembered my three daughters are in there.
So I go inside.
I go, I can't.
I go, give me one second, kid.
I go inside.
I go, Maria, this kid's giving me a hard time.
I want you to roll with him and put it on him.
unidentified
Okay.
matt serra
On my Instagram, this kid wanted clicks, 38,000 views of my.
Hello, my daughter, strangled the fuck out of this kid.
And we got some clicks.
And it was talking shit.
Oh, no, he's talking shit to the kid.
Repercussions, Joe.
Re-fucking percussions.
unidentified
He's my height now, kid.
john rallo
On my Instagram, the video.
Oh, you're going to get some clicks on this?
matt serra
Yeah, you want some clicks, you little fuck.
And they, you know, oh, you see my daughter.
joe rogan
Mercy for the 12-year-old.
matt serra
And then after my daughter said, I go, you want to stop from the feet or throw the foot on the knees?
He chose on the knees.
You know, my daughter strangles him once.
Then I go, I pull him, pull him on top, pull him, and go out.
I'm just anything.
I just, I go, you're going to make any more short jokes, cameras.
No, little fuck.
You know?
But anyway, I just love jiu-jitsu, man.
Shout out to my Maria.
But I'm glad I tried.
My first instinct was attack the old man.
I'm like, you fat fuck.
I'm sitting there giving you my target.
It's the first question.
You get away with that.
I know you for 30 years, John.
unidentified
Fuck that little fuck.
matt serra
You know?
Joe, who's not right?
joe rogan
If you think about like the industry of like trying to keep bodies together, what industry, what sport provides more patience than jiu-jitsu?
Oh, goodness.
Like, everybody, you know, like, if you think about it, when you get to a certain point and you've been training for a certain amount of time, you're going to get fucking banged up.
Like, what sport benefits more from like guys in their 40s and 50s, like peptides and stems?
matt serra
Yeah, for sure.
joe rogan
Jiu-Jitsu brings a lot of patience because everybody's hurt.
unidentified
Yeah.
matt serra
Everybody's hurt.
joe rogan
Regular 40-year-old dudes aren't hurt all the time.
You know what I mean?
They usually work.
They go into an office.
They don't rarely get knee injuries.
Injuries are rare.
matt serra
I'll tell you.
joe rogan
40-year-old jiu-jitsu guys, everybody's knees are fucked up.
din thomas
Everybody's fucked up.
Everybody's fucked up.
Everybody got a hurt shoulder.
joe rogan
Everybody.
matt serra
Elbow's fucked up.
unidentified
Everybody got a bunch of people.
matt serra
Peter fucking pickleball.
I do a 40 and overnight class every Wednesday.
I teach it.
Oh, Mimi.
And then just to feel like Gordon Ryan, I jump on the old men.
I have fun with them.
But, dude, they fucking love it.
Sometimes when it's less than 20, I'll do like my old school jiu-jitsu gang fight.
Everybody, I pick teams.
I put this guy over there.
I get it kind of even.
They all start on their knees.
You remember this.
We used to do it from the feet back in Henzo.
Everybody's breaking their backs, jumping on backs.
But when one team, no lower body submissions, could be two-on-one, three-on-one.
It stops when one team submits the whole other team.
So we got these old men in there, like, they're jumping on back.
Dude, they're upstairs in the locker room.
It reminds me of the Twilight Zone movie when they play Kick the Kid.
They're like little kids up there like talking about.
They have such a good time practicing murdering each other.
joe rogan
Isn't that funny?
It's making it novel like that, making it like a team thing.
matt serra
Oh, it's funny.
joe rogan
Especially if you trust each other.
matt serra
If you're training partners, the biggest thing out of an academy is the atmosphere, as you know.
So I make sure I pluck guys out on a fucking every month.
Somebody comes in, I don't like, all right, keep you a couple hundred dollars, get the fuck out of here.
joe rogan
It's all top-down.
It all comes down from the attitude of the people that are running the place.
Always, always.
din thomas
Yo, do you ever show up at a random jiu-jitsu school and just pop in?
joe rogan
No.
matt serra
You can't do that.
joe rogan
I haven't rolled at all in a year.
din thomas
No kidding.
joe rogan
No.
I've had a reoccurring knee issue and a reoccurring lower back issue that I'm trying to get right before I do anything stupid again.
Dude, man.
matt serra
Shout out to Bio Accelerator.
joe rogan
Oh, that place is great.
matt serra
They're so fucking great.
joe rogan
A lot of positive results from that place.
I know a lot of people went down there.
matt serra
I was able to throw my right hand again, which I used to wave like fucking this.
And now I'm just, I'm so happy I'm able to do it again.
joe rogan
Bring it back to the Kamaro fight with Chimaev.
Kamaro's been down there too.
din thomas
I was down there a couple years ago.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's a lot of UFC guys go down there.
matt serra
Oh, 100% Christian.
joe rogan
And now that CPI in Tijuana is a closer, closer trek.
That place is really good.
And the UFC is affiliated with them now.
matt serra
Okay.
joe rogan
Yeah.
matt serra
Very interesting.
joe rogan
Yeah, they're really good.
I know a lot of people.
Eddie Bravo's been down there multiple times, but I know a lot of UFC fighters that have been down there.
matt serra
Man, I've been to the, again, Columbia.
What is it?
Medelline?
Am I saying that?
unidentified
Medaline.
joe rogan
Meda Eane.
matt serra
They always fucked that up.
But for, hey, the food down there was fucking delicious.
unidentified
Oh, yeah, man.
matt serra
Went out there with my Jedi Abe and fucking, he took me into town.
The food, I was eating the bread.
I was, and I'm just, again, South America knows how to do it.
You know, fuck that pro-mate.
It's so good.
din thomas
Yeah, I went down there.
Dan Severn was down there.
joe rogan
Dan the Beast.
din thomas
Yeah, Dan the Beast.
He was in a fucking wheelchair getting rolled around.
joe rogan
Oh, no.
He's in a wheelchair.
din thomas
No, just for that trip because he was getting the breaker.
matt serra
Oh, yeah.
You got me addicted to these fucking things.
john rallo
Yeah, you got at home, my Muay Thai coach at home, Vince Mosky, Thai program.
He goes, Yeah, tell Rogan, thanks.
I tried them fucking Zins, and now I'm addicted to them.
joe rogan
I took my whole vacation off of them.
And like I said, I was like wondering what it was going to feel like.
I was like, oh, my word.
No, nothing.
It was fine.
It was nothing.
I just think it's, I think it might be a biological thing.
You know, some people, cigarettes, just get them and they just want to smoke cigarettes every day.
And some people, nicotine gets them.
I think some people could just stop taking nicotine and they seem to be all right.
And thankfully, I seem to be one of them.
matt serra
It helps me shit.
I do have a lot of people.
I just shoot a couple of those with my espresso and a seltzer in the morning.
Oh, Jesus.
joe rogan
You know, it's terrible.
matt serra
I feel so great.
joe rogan
It's terrible for playing pool.
If you take too many of them, you're shaky.
You don't have a good connection between your movement.
You feel like weird when you're shooting.
You don't notice it when you're talking because it is a stimulant.
So it's like stimulating your brain.
It actually helps brain function.
Nicotine itself is a nootropic.
It's a nutrient that helps brain function.
It'll help you pass tests.
matt serra
I think it helps my ADD a little.
joe rogan
It probably does.
Terrible for pool, though.
din thomas
But I'm still on that alpha brain, so that's all the.
joe rogan
That's legit.
We got gummies now, too, man.
din thomas
Oh, D?
Gummies.
joe rogan
Yeah.
din thomas
Nice.
joe rogan
Yeah, I'll take some too.
I'll give you guys a jar of them.
We'll get out of here.
matt serra
How many do you take?
joe rogan
I take three.
john rallo
Oh, shit.
Back on the Duplessis fight there.
I mean, we were talking last night.
We both think that DDP can pull this out and win it.
My mindset.
And look, we all know Kamzat's a savage.
joe rogan
He can win it too.
Yeah, I could see him going either way in this fight.
john rallo
But if we look at it, I mean, his two toughest opponents, save for Whitaker, who went in there with a broken face and got it broke the rest of the way.
Right.
You know, Gilbert won 70, and maybe Gilbert won that one.
Kamaru 170, took it on very short notice.
matt serra
On the couch off the couch.
john rallo
Almost won that one.
If it goes longer, probably he does win that.
joe rogan
That was middleweight.
john rallo
Well, yeah, but he's 170-pounder.
If he's making 70 all the time and going to 85, now you're fighting a dude that walks at 230, so he's not going to have a big strength advantage over him.
Yeah, he's going to be the better wrestler.
But I just think that Drickus is going to be able to weather the storm and then come out the other side and it's going to be a problem.
And if Kamzat comes in, people are talking about him fighting at a slower pace.
Well, that's not his style.
And if he fights at a slower pace, I think that plays into Drickus's hands because it will allow him to make it move forward and pressure him and the thing.
joe rogan
So it's going to be interesting to see if it gets into deep water.
That's what's going to be interesting because I know he started training with Cala Vita.
john rallo
He went for his conditioning.
joe rogan
Yeah, he went to Sam Calavita, who trained TJ Dillishaw.
He works with Aaron Pico.
Armand Sarukian's doing it with him too.
And that guy is a legend, man.
Cala Vita is a real.
john rallo
No, 100%.
joe rogan
He's a real.
john rallo
I believe with cardio too, part of it is your mental, your mindset, like with pushing through the tired.
And, you know, we were talking a little last night, and, you know, Kamzat's a bad motherfucker.
I don't know about his mind yet.
joe rogan
This is what I was getting at.
john rallo
He pulls out of a bunch of fights.
joe rogan
Armand Sarukian, who also just pulled out of a fight.
But Armand said the problem was Hamzat overtrained for every fight, and he would always come into fights worn out.
And that was the difference between working with Cala Vita.
They're monitoring his actual recovery.
They're making sure they're doing everything scientifically.
Calvita, I think his background is in cycling.
It was in endurance sports.
john rallo
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I'm familiar.
I'm familiar with him.
I know who he's.
I know he was TJ's guy.
joe rogan
Nobody knows more about cardio than cyclers because it's all cardio.
The whole thing.
It's all cardio.
So they know.
john rallo
Cardio and EPO.
joe rogan
Yeah, they know that, too.
They know how to recover, and they know what's your threshold, like where you should be.
john rallo
For sure.
joe rogan
So he's using real science to do it.
And he's like, this is the first time he's ever been through a camp like this where he's coming in fresh, where he's not overtrained.
john rallo
Well, we're going to see.
We're going to see.
And my question is, too, if he gets in a bad spot, is he going to push through it?
Will the bully crumble?
joe rogan
He didn't crumble with Gilbert.
matt serra
He didn't crumble true.
john rallo
He got sat down by Gilbert, too, though.
matt serra
But Drake has even said in that fight, how he started strong.
There's a certain amount.
He was counting how many minutes he was just standing in front of him.
He said that with both those fights.
His fight with Gilbert and Kamara Hoodsman.
He had the exact amount of time.
He goes for three minutes and whatever seconds he was just standing in front of him.
He was saying that for both guys.
joe rogan
Kamaro was coming on strong in that third round.
din thomas
I know.
He was coming to the bottom.
joe rogan
If that was a five-round fight, I bet the betting would shift.
unidentified
For sure.
din thomas
Oh, 100%.
He started coming on at the end of the second.
He started to.
john rallo
In the third round, it was all Usman, I thought.
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, but it is impressive the way that motherfucker can shoot from halfway across the octagon.
john rallo
No one's going to be able to do it.
His wrestling, too.
Like, I don't know.
Do you know Pat Downey?
joe rogan
Yes.
john rallo
All right.
Well, I've known him since he's a little kid, and he was in Kamzat's camp and said, like, he said his wrestling, he goes, wrestling is like real good.
He said he's got top-notch wrestling.
Like, he talked about, he said, we probably both did better with each other than you would think.
Like, he did better with wrestling, and I did better with Jiu-Jitsu.
He said, but he said, like, he said the guy's a beast.
He said he's strong, said he's, and he said he's a high-level wrestler.
joe rogan
Schaub was down there watching him train.
And, you know, they asked Shaab, they asked Shabb to spar with him.
He's like, fuck you.
He's like, I'm 40-something years old.
No, I'm done.
I'm not doing this anymore.
And he said Hamzat was just lighting people up.
He said, he looks really good.
unidentified
Nice.
joe rogan
The thing about Hamzat.
All these guys were 170s, right?
You're right about that.
But with 170 comes speed, right?
And Hamzat's speed is a factor.
It's a big factor with his hand speed.
He's, you know, people forget because what he did to Kevin Holland, the way he could ragdoll guys on the ground.
But what he did to Gerald Merschart is pretty fucking spooky.
unidentified
Yeah, you know, that's a really good punch.
joe rogan
Technical and sharp and straightforward.
john rallo
He's a very well-rounded guy.
joe rogan
He's fucking good standing up, man.
He's good standing up.
And that's where it's going to be weird.
That's where I want to see because duplicity makes everybody look stupid.
He finds a way.
john rallo
He takes a lot of time.
Every mistake is a lot of fun.
din thomas
He must have got a lot of power.
joe rogan
But they're not mistakes.
For sure has a lot of power.
But someone did a great breakdown of what he did with Robert Whitaker, where he set up that right hook.
And the way he was recognizing that Whitaker had this certain pattern.
And it's not like it looks weird because he just moves different than everybody else.
din thomas
That's all.
He's stiff.
joe rogan
Whatever it is, it works.
din thomas
It works.
joe rogan
And when he hits you, it's like he can't hit by a car.
matt serra
He doesn't have to be that pretty.
din thomas
That's what I'm saying.
He's got to have power to make guys so nervous about getting hit by him.
joe rogan
Bro, that cat is so big.
He looks like a fucking heavyweight when you're next to him.
You're like, how are you a middleweight?
How are you 185 ever?
matt serra
The thing that I, that comes that I keep thinking about is like, when's the last time he actually, though, fought a guy with Comzat style?
I mean, who's ever, who's trying to shoot on him?
Besides, maybe there was a Derek Brunson or something.
unidentified
But when's the last time he fought a guy that's just going to be no one has a Hamzat style in the UFC?
john rallo
Well, what I like.
matt serra
But even a grappler, a straight wrestler.
john rallo
DDP said, he said, look, I'm fully prepared.
I'm going to get taken down.
Like, he's not in there saying, my wrestling, I'm stuffing him.
He said, I'm going to get taken down, but I'm going to weather the storm and I'm going to be able to get back up.
unidentified
And I'm going to devise a strong warm-up in a rubber suit.
Man, you're slippery as fuck.
joe rogan
If you don't want to cheat, you can bend the rules because it's not cheating.
john rallo
I mean, when he gets on top of somebody, man, you definitely don't see guys getting him off of you.
joe rogan
Well, when you got a guy who's got, I mean, that actually might not be a bad idea.
Give him those tracksuit things.
din thomas
To get warm up with it.
joe rogan
Might not be a bad idea.
Because you totally can do that.
Like, no one could stop you from doing that.
matt serra
Whitaker was defending okay when he was down there.
joe rogan
Well, I mean, everybody remembers his teeth getting shattered, but before that, likely he would have survived because Kamaro survived it too, right?
It's possible to survive.
Unless he just, like, what he did to Kevin Holland was kind of crazy.
john rallo
Holland almost.
joe rogan
He just went one to the other.
din thomas
Well, here's the thing, he just crushed him.
Gilbert, his guard, kept him out of it.
joe rogan
Yep.
din thomas
You got to have a decent guard because he don't like it.
When Gilbert started moving his hips, he said, nah, I'm out of here.
matt serra
Gilbert's actually really world-class Jiu-Jitsu.
john rallo
Oh, world-class.
joe rogan
Gilbert's world-class.
Yeah, Gilbert's dangerous as fuck everywhere.
You know, it was interesting watching him roll with Rockhold because I know that, you know, it's not like Rockhold was in camp and prepared for this and this is Rockhold at its best.
I don't even know how much he had been training, but Hamza just handled him.
Just handled him.
And we know how good Rockhold is.
unidentified
Yeah.
matt serra
Very good ones.
joe rogan
Bro.
matt serra
Listen, what's so exciting about it is there's a chance he could just take him down and do what he everybody else.
There is that chance.
Definitely.
Because he's so good on the floor and he comes out so aggressive.
But if he survives it, you know, history shows.
joe rogan
And Does he have the confidence to go for it and possibly empty the gas tank and get the finish?
And if he doesn't, how fucked is he?
matt serra
He has no other way.
I don't think he came down and smashed.
That's what he wants.
That's what he's.
He makes no, you know, you can't adjust.
He's disguising it.
joe rogan
You can't adjust now in the world championship fight.
You got to just hit the gas.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
That's the sprint.
john rallo
Instinct's going to kick in, and he is a sprinter.
You know what I mean?
joe rogan
Right.
But that's the question: is can he sprint for five rounds?
Because we know DDP can.
john rallo
Right.
joe rogan
Him and Stean Strickland, they were ready to have heart attacks at the end of that fight.
They were ready to have heart attacks.
He's probably like the most elevated heart level we've ever seen in a world championship fight.
matt serra
Getting his nose busted like that.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
matt serra
He's still staying in the house.
joe rogan
He's always fighting with staff.
He had staff.
He had staff to the second fight.
That's why he was listless.
Yeah.
He was on antibiotics and everything.
He's all fucked up.
Yeah, it fucking is terrible, man.
That happens all the time.
Meanwhile, that happened with Murab.
unidentified
He fucking noticed.
joe rogan
No one even noticed.
john rallo
He's on antibiotics.
din thomas
Marab is different, man.
joe rogan
Murab is so different on antibiotics.
He's outworking everybody.
Like, that's crazy.
That was the.
Which fight was that?
matt serra
With the staff?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Was it the Umar fight?
john rallo
I think it was the Umar fight.
joe rogan
It was the Umar fight, which was crazy because there was pace that melted Umar, and he's doing it while he's on the NFL.
john rallo
His back was hurt too for that, wasn't it?
matt serra
Murab, yeah, yeah.
There was times he wasn't sleeping through the night.
He couldn't.
That is different.
din thomas
That is nuts.
I saw John Wood the other day.
They think they're just going to run through Corey.
joe rogan
Oh, I don't know.
din thomas
Murab just going to run through.
joe rogan
Well, somebody's going to be a good guy.
john rallo
Somebody back running through him.
joe rogan
You got to be real careful with Hubris.
din thomas
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
For sure.
matt serra
Murab's not.
john rallo
That's not Murab thinking like that.
matt serra
That's not Murab saying anything.
John Wood said that?
joe rogan
Well, he, I mean, Murab could have had leg amputated.
john rallo
Yes, dude.
joe rogan
That's Murab.
unidentified
They don't need legs.
joe rogan
They could have taken one leg.
He said, oh, he was just taping it up and going back to practice.
unidentified
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
joe rogan
Someone close to Murab told me that regular people would have probably had their leg amputated if they had to deal with the staph infection that he had on his leg.
john rallo
Jesus.
joe rogan
He was just like taping it up and going, I don't believe that.
Whoever told you that, that's not true.
They would put antibiotics on that.
That's not true.
They don't just randomly amputate people's legs.
I hope.
din thomas
I hope.
joe rogan
It said he had broken his hand early in the fight.
Oh, Number Gomedoff did.
He said he broke my back in training camp, but some days I couldn't get up from the bed.
I just laid down.
I don't have a training camp.
I don't have a Khabib Nubra Gabetov to help me train.
Some days at the PI was closed.
It was Christmas.
It was New Year's and weekends.
And it happened a couple of times.
Umar was there.
The security goes, I'm sorry, we can't let you go in.
Yeah, Murab's different.
matt serra
Yeah, Murab's built different, man.
joe rogan
Yeah.
But there's also something about dudes that are from that part of the world.
That is a war-torn part of the world.
And it makes a different kind of man.
matt serra
He's the American dream, man.
I just had him on my pod, and we were talking for over an hour about his whole journey.
And dude, when he came over, he did not see him.
Like, I couldn't even communicate with him.
I could because I have a way, but he didn't speak any English.
When I see him doing the skits now, the chicken banana.
He's funny as shit.
He's funny.
He's just, he goes back.
And now he goes back to his to Georgia, just have the chariots next to him.
This dude trying to jump on the bus.
It makes me so happy, man, because you've seen his whole journey.
When he first came to New York, he was got linked up with fucking retards.
And these guys were morons.
And thank God he went into Longo at the head of Racy Academy.
And then he found his way to Longos.
joe rogan
That's a problem, right?
If you don't know where to go and you wind up at a real bad camp and then they claim you forever.
matt serra
Oh, man.
He had him doing the gold.
He had to do the gold.
joe rogan
Just like a bad wife.
matt serra
This guy was up.
din thomas
That's what I always say.
It's like a bad marriage.
joe rogan
It's just like a bad marriage.
Yeah.
Yeah.
matt serra
But he found his way.
Yeah.
joe rogan
Oh, you guys are so good.
You and Longo without a doubt need a reality show.
Some sort of reality show with you two guys coaching people and then going to dinner with the sucking shit.
It would be a great show.
I fucking love it when you guys, I would really love it when you guys were, you know, in the corners when you get mic'd up.
He's the best.
matt serra
We have a good time.
unidentified
It's great.
joe rogan
The two of you guys together, it's a fun team.
matt serra
Everybody says that.
din thomas
Everybody wants to see a show with you guys.
john rallo
I told him last night when he's on your podcast, he's the best.
matt serra
You know what's so cool now, man?
I have my 16-year-old over there.
He's holding for us.
It just makes me sad.
That gets me emotional.
Oh, my God.
joe rogan
That's awesome.
matt serra
It's so cool, man.
You know, he's 67.
He's still fucking going, man.
Longo.
joe rogan
He's the best.
john rallo
He's such a Ray's awesome.
joe rogan
But you two in the corner are so uniquely fun.
It's so fun to watch.
Like, if I was a television producer, I'm like, that is a no-brainer.
matt serra
We took our guy down to the flagpole.
joe rogan
Jamie Paramount Plus.
Listen to this.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Paramount Plus, new merger, whatever was happening.
din thomas
We got some content here.
joe rogan
New deal.
matt serra
It's exciting, I guess.
john rallo
I think so.
joe rogan
You and Ray Longo, Paramount Plus, going to pizza places, talking shit.
matt serra
I'm not against it.
din thomas
Going to the fights.
joe rogan
Going to the fights, like talking about your fight.
See, it's like a built-in show.
You have fighters that you're training.
You talk about how he's doing.
Talk about how he came to you.
You two guys just talk about the world.
unidentified
Yeah.
matt serra
Fucking promises out there.
Somebody get a listener.
joe rogan
He keeps dinging.
Is that me?
matt serra
It's not me, is it?
joe rogan
It might be me.
matt serra
I don't think it's me.
john rallo
I'm pretty sure I'm airplane dude.
joe rogan
I think it's me.
Yeah, it's totally a built-in show.
You can't miss.
matt serra
We have a good time.
joe rogan
You know what I mean?
matt serra
Like, you should do it.
joe rogan
You know, if you have the time.
matt serra
All I'm doing is you can find me at my school or my podcast, and that's every channel on YouTube.
I'm having fun with that.
So what?
Guys?
And then, dude, I'm having, dude, I do movie reactions.
You know what I do with that?
I watch a movie and they.
joe rogan
They react in real time?
matt serra
I'm just talking shit, watching a movie.
joe rogan
Oh, that's great.
matt serra
It's fucking fun.
I play my VR, which is fucking fun.
And then I have people in, like I had Marab and I, oh, I had Keith Jardine the other day.
Keith Jardine, man, let's plug his new movie.
What the fuck?
din thomas
Kill me again.
matt serra
Me and my wife went to Tribeca for the, and I saw Tate.
Tate's in it.
Your buddy Tate Fletcher.
What a sweetheart they are.
joe rogan
He's the best.
matt serra
He's such a nice guy.
Just want a guy you want to hug.
joe rogan
He's a big, huggable person.
matt serra
Huggable Bear.
And it's almost this movie, Kill Me Again, right?
He written and directed it, Keith Jardine.
And it's basically Groundhog Day, but a serial killer.
joe rogan
Oh, jeez.
matt serra
Oh, it's fucking, it's really good.
It was, I mean, listen, I wouldn't even bring it up if I thought it was shit, to be honest.
It was a fun movie.
You can get it on Amazon.
joe rogan
I went on.
I believe you.
din thomas
Yeah, is it on Amazon Prime now?
matt serra
It's on Amazon Prime.
You can buy it.
It came out August 8th.
And I'm proud of him.
And what a sweetheart that guy is.
Keith Jardine.
joe rogan
Jardine's awesome.
matt serra
He was in a great movie called Shot Caller.
joe rogan
Shot Caller.
unidentified
That was a good movie.
matt serra
Fuck, Jamie Landis.
Jamie Landis.
He's driving drunk with his couple.
He's like a yuppie with another couple.
Something happens.
The guy gets killed in the back seat.
He goes to jail, kind of like, you know, white-collared.
Next thing you know, he's got a fucking show.
He's not a bitch.
And now he's a hardened motherfucker.
He's fucking shanking people.
John Bernathal's in there.
unidentified
Shot caller.
matt serra
You like it.
Shot caller is in the car.
joe rogan
Oh, I remember that.
Look at this.
matt serra
This was a good fucking movie.
And Keith Jardine, Keith Jardine is in this.
joe rogan
Was Keith a bounty hunter?
matt serra
No, he was in his call.
joe rogan
But was he an actual bounty hunter in real life?
Shit.
matt serra
Man, he didn't bring that up on the show.
Unless he did, I would have remembered.
joe rogan
See if that's true.
matt serra
He was, I went over his whole fucking show.
joe rogan
I hope I'm not imagining.
matt serra
He was more of a grappler than he was even a striker.
joe rogan
Yeah, he was a bounty hunter.
matt serra
He was a fucking bounty hunter.
joe rogan
Jardine worked as a personal trainer, firefighter, football coach, minor, and bounty hunter.
Miner and bounty hunter.
That's two of the hardest fucking human beings that have ever lived.
Connected.
matt serra
It's so funny, though.
He's very soft-spoken, though.
He's very nice.
joe rogan
He's a great guy.
matt serra
He looks like a fucking awesome fights.
I asked him if he ever, because I said, you know, sometimes I'm at a UFC thing and they'll go, oh, yeah.
Joe, can I have a picture?
I go, the wrong ball guy.
unidentified
I asked him, I asked him.
matt serra
He asked me about Dane.
They think I'm Dana.
I asked him, I go, look, I go, you got to answer this for me because have you ever been mistaken for the techno-viking?
You know who that guy is.
john rallo
He does look like him.
matt serra
You know, he does look like a man.
He looks exactly like Jamie.
The Techno-Viking.
He's a fucking guy.
joe rogan
Jamie pointed out that that might have been staged.
john rallo
Really?
matt serra
I don't know.
That looks like it's a good idea.
joe rogan
Jamie, Jamie.
john rallo
Jamie ruins it for me, the techno-viking.
joe rogan
Jamie does not like the wool being pulled over his eyes, so he thinks that everything is staged.
matt serra
I don't know.
There he is.
So this guy's like Keith Jardine.
joe rogan
He came in.
He kicks the guy.
din thomas
He looks just like Keith Jardine.
joe rogan
Hey, it's already questionable that's being filmed.
And this guy's like center stage.
john rallo
He's do have a point there.
joe rogan
You got a point.
matt serra
Give this guy a bottle of water.
joe rogan
Let's fucking go.
matt serra
Let's go.
joe rogan
Yeah, so there he goes.
matt serra
If I was still clubbing, this is how I look.
joe rogan
Yeah, 100%.
john rallo
Look at him.
He's all mollied up.
He's ready to go.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
Mollied.
He's probably got.
matt serra
That guy's a boss.
joe rogan
He's probably got one of them cruising doses in his system.
unidentified
He's got his minions behind him carrying his bottle.
joe rogan
Probably legit Viking jeans, too, man.
At least some of them.
john rallo
Fucking looks like it.
joe rogan
Yeah.
john rallo
Got his Thor's hammer around his neck.
joe rogan
Well, he looks like the 21st century version of it.
matt serra
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, what would come on, man?
matt serra
Look at that.
joe rogan
The original Vikings probably looked like those strongmen dudes that you see coming out of Iceland.
I bet that's what showed up on the fuckers.
john rallo
Can you try to imagine that?
A bunch of half-thor Bjornson showed up.
joe rogan
Bro, who's that guy, that Viking dude that fights in Welterway?
He just fought Chaos Williams.
john rallo
Oh, the one looks like a fucking caveman.
matt serra
And he brought his name.
din thomas
I'm trying to think of it.
john rallo
He got famous for being ugly.
joe rogan
Is it Andreas?
What is his name?
din thomas
Yeah.
john rallo
Yeah.
joe rogan
He looks just like Keith Jardine.
That's crazy.
din thomas
It is Andreas.
joe rogan
Jamie, could you go to Chaos Williams Wikipedia, look up his MMA career?
Because Chaos is fucking good, man.
din thomas
He's hard.
He's hard.
joe rogan
He's a dangerous guy.
din thomas
He got worn to fuck this out by this.
joe rogan
This is another one of those dudes.
Me and DC have been talking about this.
Extreme physicality is a tool.
And Coleman used to say this.
Coleman used to say that strength is a skill.
And I was like, it kind of is a skill.
Andreas Gustafson.
Yeah, this guy's fucking terrifying.
john rallo
He's a different dude.
joe rogan
And what you should see, go to Andreas Gustafson Workout.
Just Google workout.
And this dude is a hardcore powerlifter.
Like, when you see some of the shit he's doing, the amount of strength that this guy has, you're like, oh, Jesus.
Like, there's guys that are not that big, right?
Like, you know, see that janitor who pulls pranks on Instagram, who walks up to these big meetings and lifts up the stuff.
He's not that big, though.
But these super strong dudes who practice powerlifting, you can be incredibly strong and not look like a bodybuilder.
That's this guy.
He's a 185.
din thomas
No, he's a 75.
joe rogan
No, excuse me.
170.
170.
Oh, man.
But this motherfucker is so strong, man.
When he gets a hold of guys, he's just ragdolling people.
You know, Chaos has been very consistent in his career with good takedown defense.
He knows how to fight guys off, dangerous striker.
And he couldn't do shit to this guy.
It was like one-sided ass whooping, like a real one-sided ass whooping that I didn't expect.
I was like, that is, I thought it'd be a good fight.
And it was just a mauling, man.
din thomas
I thought Chaos was going to clip him.
joe rogan
He can easily have the power that Chaos has.
He puts guys out with one shot, but this dude just tucks his chin down and wades bombs at you until he gets a grip on you and then just starts throwing you around.
matt serra
He's 170.
He's well.
joe rogan
He's 170.
matt serra
I'll tell you who's the dark horse in that division.
john rallo
Pretty good.
matt serra
Sean Brady.
din thomas
Oh, Sean Brady.
joe rogan
I don't even think he's the dark horse.
After that Leon Edwards fight.
matt serra
People aren't talking about him enough, though.
That's what I'm saying.
joe rogan
Bro, that Leon Edwards fight was crazy.
din thomas
I'll be with them tomorrow.
Yeah, tomorrow, yeah.
matt serra
Dude, he's looking great, Sean Brady.
I love his father.
joe rogan
He's a monster.
He's a monster.
matt serra
It's so funny.
I had him on, and he's like, you know, people always talking about me being short for wealth to wade.
I'm 5'9.
It's not like I'm 5'6.
unidentified
I'm like, ah!
Sean!
I'm your fan!
din thomas
Come on, man!
matt serra
No, it's funny.
joe rogan
He's got a turtle muscle on his back.
He's trying to get a crush your head muscle.
din thomas
He's trying to get that Ian Gary fight.
matt serra
I love his favorite.
joe rogan
Is that what he's looking for?
din thomas
Well, he'll fight anybody.
joe rogan
Well, you know, I would love to see him fight for the title.
I mean, I think that's a reasonable fight.
Like with Jack Della, like, who's next after if Jack Della and Islam fight, which seems to be exactly what's going to happen, who's next after that?
Like, who's in number one position right now?
matt serra
I think Ian Gary has to be up there.
din thomas
It's either Sean or Bilal.
joe rogan
Well, right.
Ian Gary has one loss, right?
unidentified
Yeah, because he's just a shot.
joe rogan
Shove it.
Right.
Real close fight, but that one loss set him back a little bit.
So Bilal's number one.
But, you know, I bet they're going to want Bilal to fight somebody else.
They seem to have a heart on for Bilal.
You know what I mean?
din thomas
Nice looking guy.
joe rogan
The numbers don't mean that's the fight that gets made.
din thomas
Right.
joe rogan
Not always.
matt serra
I think Sean Brady's only the only problem, the only one loss he has is from Bilal, right?
joe rogan
Can you put that back up, Jamie, so I can see who else is in there?
matt serra
No, man.
joe rogan
So it's like, if you look at that division, you know, that division has gone through so many different changes.
So you've got Shavcott, who just had some kind of surgery that's undisclosed, right?
We don't know what injury he's recovered from, but he had like a pretty significant injury, apparently.
And then you got Leon, Kamaru.
din thomas
Michael Morales is the real dark horse of that division.
joe rogan
Right.
din thomas
He fucked Gilbert Burns.
joe rogan
He fucked him up.
Yeah, that looked like Gilbert just didn't belong in there.
unidentified
Sure did.
joe rogan
And that's weird to see, right?
john rallo
I don't know if Gilbert fan.
joe rogan
A lot of miles, a lot of fights.
matt serra
Yeah, I'd like to see Sean Brady get his shot.
din thomas
That's what we're working on.
matt serra
Dean Thomas, he must be strong.
din thomas
He's strong as fuck.
He's fucking strong.
Yeah, he wears all of us.
matt serra
Dude, I like his positional.
His jiu-jitsu's very, very good for fighting.
I'll tell you, nowadays, I can't even watch some jiu-jitsu matches.
I watch, it's just fucking a lot of scissoring and I'll tell you what, man.
joe rogan
I was blown away by Kamaru versus Joaquim Buckley.
I was blown away.
unidentified
Oh, yeah, yeah.
din thomas
He looked great.
He looked good.
joe rogan
He looked like Kamaru the champion.
john rallo
He was a good job.
joe rogan
He looked like the champion.
He looked like if Joaquin was challenging Kamaru for the title, that's the Kamaru that you would expect to see.
That's what he looked like.
din thomas
He showed some good IQ.
Intelligent fight.
joe rogan
The ability to move, right?
Like, you didn't seem hampered by his knees, all the things that people talk about.
din thomas
And that's what we thought it was going to seem.
We thought it was an old-ass man with them bad knees.
joe rogan
Didn't look bad at all.
And I think, you know, it's a lot of it is mental strength, of sure.
But it's also like he hasn't really taken a lot of damage other than the big high kick from Leon.
And, you know, if you go and you watch his fights, he had a pretty good war with Colby before he won.
I mean, they exchanged a lot of blows.
You know, Gilbert dropped him.
Remember that?
But overall, not a lot of damage in his career.
Mostly he's been the dominator.
You know, so even though he's 37, I think.
din thomas
Yeah.
He's still pretty fresh.
john rallo
I thought it was good to see him go back to his wrestling roots a little bit.
A lot of times the wrestlers get good with their hands and all of a sudden they forget about what got him to the show and he just straight manhandled it.
joe rogan
Yeah, he did, but he also looked good on the feet, man.
He looked good everywhere in that.
din thomas
Disciplined and just good straight punches.
joe rogan
Everything looked great.
john rallo
Sean Brady looked great in his last fight with his hands too.
joe rogan
100%.
And to do that to Leon, well, you know, Leon knows he can't lose again.
He lost the title and he wants to come back and get it back.
And now all of a sudden you got this turtle shell motherfucker in front of you.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
Who just seems insanely strong.
din thomas
How's Kobe still in these rankings?
john rallo
I was thinking when I saw it.
joe rogan
Kind of crazy.
I wonder how much of that would be because he's still super valuable.
din thomas
He's got to be.
joe rogan
Yeah, because if you're a guy, why kick him out?
If you're a guy like Shovcot and they offer you Colby, you know, in the main event of a fight night or something like that.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like that's a great fight for both guys.
They'll probably make way more money.
So how does that work with Paramount now?
din thomas
I don't know.
joe rogan
Here's the question.
john rallo
I thought you'd have the inside.
joe rogan
Yeah, man.
I don't talk to Dana about business.
john rallo
Right.
joe rogan
You know?
din thomas
Yeah.
matt serra
I heard they're raising the.
joe rogan
I'm more of a socialist when it comes to that shit.
I would be the worst.
They'd fucking fire me for sure.
I would change the pay structure immediately.
You know.
But I wonder if you're no pay-per-view.
Yeah, you want a mint?
Like, That's the mind mints.
That's neurogum.
The neural mints.
john rallo
I had the gum.
matt serra
Ooh, a mind mint.
john rallo
You want one?
matt serra
I need it for my fucking brain.
Give me some of that.
joe rogan
We got one left in there.
matt serra
Nice.
joe rogan
Take the last one.
matt serra
Oh, thank you.
joe rogan
It looks dirty on the animal.
john rallo
You want some of that crap?
din thomas
No, I'm good.
I had a gummy.
joe rogan
Yeah, gummies.
Yeah, I'm always giving myself mind mints and all that shit, and I'm still stupid.
What were we just talking about?
din thomas
The pay structure.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
So they used to get the money from pay-per-view, right?
So if you're a guy like Conor McGregor that's going to get 2 million pay-per-views, you get a percentage of that, and you're set for life, right?
You get one big one like that, and woo!
matt serra
How does that work now?
joe rogan
So how does that work now?
How does it work now if it's for free?
There's no more pay-per-view.
matt serra
He did say, I did hear him saying he's up in the fight night.
john rallo
Yeah, the bonuses.
I did see that.
joe rogan
The low-hanging fruit, that's easiest to answer.
Bonuses are obviously going up.
That's great.
That'll be big.
And forget about the tide rising with all the other fighters.
Just the number the bonuses bring to a fighter, it's millions of dollars.
Okay, well, that's great.
Okay, so then there's a bonus structure like if that many people watch your thing, you get millions of dollars.
That's what he said.
john rallo
That would be cool.
joe rogan
That sounds great.
Paramount's got a ton of loot.
And this is a great move for them.
matt serra
And good content, too.
joe rogan
Do you think people are going to sign up for Paramount Plus if you get free UFCs forever?
john rallo
And South Park.
joe rogan
That's crazy.
And South Park, right?
And South Park.
And a bunch of other shows, too.
This is a shitload of shows.
All of Taylor Sheridan's shows are all Paramount shows.
din thomas
But did anybody see this coming?
No one saw this coming just.
john rallo
No one saw this coming back.
joe rogan
Bro, I'm tight with Dana, and I talked to him.
We were talking about the problems with this and the problems with that.
But I need to ask him this weekend in Chicago if it's true that the Netflix people wanted to stop the fights in the Apex.
They didn't want any fights in the Apex.
They wanted fights with big crowds.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like they wanted to be big.
We want it to be big, big, big.
din thomas
Like all the fights, big, big, big, yeah.
joe rogan
One of the best heavyweight fights of all time in terms of like the result was Francis Ngano versus Steve Miocic with no crowd at all in the Apex in the small ring.
It was like one of the best experiences.
You want to watch a guy in his prime who's fucking terrified, who's figured it all out versus a guy who's got, he's a legend, he's a champion, but he's got a lot of miles on him and there's a lot of wars.
And you see it with no one there.
You're hearing the huff and huff of each breath.
Every time Francis hits him, you fucking feel that thud in your cells.
din thomas
Hey, you done got to sell me, man.
I love watching fights at the apex.
I love it.
joe rogan
It's my favorite.
din thomas
Me too.
john rallo
I mean, I really believe that the smaller cage just forces more action.
din thomas
That's why the fights are so good.
john rallo
I always wanted her to stay with downsize the arena cage because of the quality of the fights that was in the smaller cage.
joe rogan
The problem with that is, like, when you got a guy that is just very footwork-based and has developed his style, you're fucking large.
john rallo
You're fucking him.
joe rogan
He's developed his style based on his ability to move around a full-size cage.
The Netflix thing is from a troll account, I think.
Oh, trolls did it?
unidentified
I think so.
joe rogan
Oh, that's good.
Well, who knows why they decided to not do it, but man, whoever gets the UFC and does the no pay-per-view model, you just gained millions of subscribers instantaneously.
100%.
100%.
din thomas
Yeah, for sure.
joe rogan
Because everybody's going to get every pay-per-view now for free.
You're going to be scrolling through the channels like, oh, let's see who's fighting.
john rallo
I wonder how much money I'll save a year and then save me 80 a month or two.
joe rogan
You know, you tune it in and you watch one Alex Pereira high kick knockout.
You're like, oh, shit.
And then you're hooked.
And then the next time it's on, you're like, oh, the UFC's on.
And then boom, you've got more fans.
I mean, it's the most exciting to this average spectator because you don't have to know anything.
You have to know shit to watch guys just go to war.
unidentified
True.
din thomas
I'm just surprised that ESPN didn't step up.
I mean, at 7.7, that's what I'm saying.
At 7.7, they probably was like, nah, we're good.
john rallo
Their app was shit anyway.
joe rogan
Well, Paramount's giving them a billion dollars a year for seven years.
I mean, that's wild.
That's a lot of loot.
matt serra
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
matt serra
I'm excited about that Aaron Pico.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
matt serra
This whole card is excited.
john rallo
This card is a very good card.
joe rogan
LeRon Murphy's no joke.
matt serra
No joke.
din thomas
I don't know.
Who you got on this?
john rallo
I'm going to be leaning Murphy's way.
din thomas
I'm still in.
I still am.
I think the UFC Jitters is a real thing, man.
john rallo
It is.
joe rogan
Kissy Jitters is a real thing, and Murphy is no joke.
He is super solid, super technical everywhere.
john rallo
And if Aaron wants to be a boxer, this kid is really explosive on his feet, Murphy.
matt serra
He's got the wrestling.
john rallo
Murphy is he does, but he don't use it enough, I don't believe.
joe rogan
Murphy, to me, is very much like Leon Edwards in his prime at 145.
din thomas
For sure.
joe rogan
Very similar.
Very similar.
Strong everywhere, super technical, doesn't make any mistakes.
He's good, man.
I think Barboso.
john rallo
I think he's a more aggressive version, too.
Leon could kind of cruise at times where I think Murphy's looking to finish you.
joe rogan
He's world championship potential.
He's certainly world championship potential.
john rallo
He is coming on short notice, too.
matt serra
Who is?
john rallo
Murphy.
joe rogan
Yeah, but he's a consummate performer.
din thomas
Yeah, I was going to say, he's a type of guy.
john rallo
They said straight up he's ready.
They said three weeks might be too much time because he's ready all the time.
joe rogan
Well, this is the word out of that part, that camp, is that that guy's always training, which is what you want to see from a guy like that who's undefeated and also not getting the shine that a lot of other guys in that division are getting.
john rallo
Props to him for taking the fight, too.
joe rogan
There's so many good guys in that division, you know, and Ilio is such a star that everybody with Volkanovsky in there, Yair, and everybody kind of got lost.
Diego.
john rallo
Is it a five-rounder?
It's the co-main event.
din thomas
It's a three-rounder.
john rallo
That's a three-rounder for Kio.
unidentified
Yeah.
matt serra
Oh, shit.
john rallo
That could change.
unidentified
I'm not listed on the website as the co-main, but I thought it was.
joe rogan
It's in there.
din thomas
It is co-main, but it's still three rounds.
I read that today.
john rallo
That's cool.
Well, that changes things.
joe rogan
One of my paperworks.
It's interesting because Pico is really good, man.
But I would have liked to see him against someone, you know, to establish a name for himself.
din thomas
I thought he had a really good shot at beating Mozar.
joe rogan
Well, Mozart is crazy because the grappling for Mozar is just off the charts, but you're not dealing with the kind of kicks that you're dealing with with Murphy.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
With Murphy, he's going to chop you up on the outside.
And if you're heavy on that front leg because you like boxing, like, ooh, a couple of those calf kicks, change everything.
john rallo
He's got a lot of spinning attacks.
joe rogan
Yeah, a lot of everything.
He's a problem.
john rallo
He's a pretty dynamic person.
din thomas
He's a problem.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
matt serra
I thought Al Joe beat him.
joe rogan
I thought Mozzar.
john rallo
I thought he was Al Joe won that fight.
matt serra
The only cooker round ended with Mozar on top, but he was dominating that.
joe rogan
I thought Al Joe won that fight as well.
matt serra
I thought Al Joe was fighting.
joe rogan
But it was close, but I thought Al Joe was close as well.
Mozvar is very, very, very good.
But that's a good fight for Pico because Pico's an elite grappler, and he's got real dangerous hands.
Real dangerous hands.
din thomas
I thought Pico would have beat him.
joe rogan
It would have been a great fight for him.
It would have been an interesting fight for him.
This is a different fight.
This is a different fight, and I think a more dangerous fight in a lot of ways just because of his style.
din thomas
The footwork.
joe rogan
Yeah.
din thomas
Yeah, it's going to be tough for Pico.
joe rogan
He's tough, man.
Murphy's tough.
And again, he's one of those guys that is way better than his public persona.
People don't know about him.
john rallo
People know about him.
joe rogan
There's so many guys in that division, man.
That division's crazy.
It's filled with killers.
Filled with killers.
john rallo
This card's a good one.
din thomas
Killers for stars, too.
And Digo Lopez.
joe rogan
Just Neil.
John Silva.
din thomas
John Silva.
joe rogan
Bro, that fight is going to be great.
din thomas
Are you close to that?
That's in Guadalajara.
joe rogan
Antonio.
din thomas
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
San Antonio.
joe rogan
It's in Texas.
I might go to that.
That John Silva guy looks like a world champion.
That's another one.
He looks like a world fucking champion.
din thomas
For sure.
john rallo
He's a character, too.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
The barking and shit.
matt serra
I like that.
joe rogan
Bro, what he did to Bryce Mitchell was just, he sent him down.
din thomas
You sent him down to the band.
john rallo
You made yourself lightheaded barking out at the wolf earlier.
matt serra
Yeah, I got a little lightheaded with that.
joe rogan
The fact that he was so relaxed and laughing.
He just knew it was a matter of time and then submitted him and put him to sleep.
matt serra
What's funny about that is Bryce Mitchell, who just went down in weight, looked great.
joe rogan
Great.
That's the right division for him.
That's the right division for him.
And he's got two choices.
Bulk way up and cut down, which is what most of these guys are doing.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
Or go to 135, which he looked great.
din thomas
And that was just discipline for him.
Just got to live a better life.
joe rogan
Right, because he was never like real ripped at 45.
matt serra
Yeah.
unidentified
He's eating cornbread on the farm and shit.
joe rogan
I don't know what he eats.
I'm sure he eats healthy.
I mean, he's a very good grappler.
I'll tell you that.
That guy's dangerous.
unidentified
He's got good grappling.
joe rogan
Really, really good jiu-jitsu.
Really smart.
I've seen a lot of his tutorials online.
Very, very good stuff.
But, you know, John Silva is just a different thing, man.
There's guys that are just better everywhere.
din thomas
Yeah.
And I thought he would have gave Ilya a problem.
joe rogan
I think so, too.
unidentified
Yeah.
din thomas
I think if Ilya stayed down and he fought John Silva, I thought that was going to be a problem for Ilya.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Both have one-punch knockout power.
And John Silva is a very good kicker.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
Very, it's different.
Like, Ilya does not throw a whole lot of kicks, and most of them are to the legs, right?
Ilya's not throwing any head kicks.
I'm sure he can.
I mean, he might do that just because we're talking shit right now.
But what Ilya does do is he touches you, and that's what Ferrazza Hobby calls the touch of death.
He's got that touch of death, man.
When he did that shit to Charles, I was like, I can't even believe I'm seeing this.
din thomas
They folded him.
joe rogan
Folded him.
din thomas
I know.
joe rogan
The night before.
din thomas
Remember, we talked about that?
Like, yo, I think we were in the back talk.
We were like, yo, this is crazy, man.
No one should be doing this.
And he goes out there and does it.
john rallo
Just like Arnold on Pump and Iron when he was.
Remember, he's telling Lee Fregno at breakfast.
unidentified
Should I call my parents one already?
joe rogan
That's a big difference, though.
All he has to do is flex in his underwear.
Ilya had to go out there and knock out Charles Oliver with one punch.
That was wild, man.
That dude has power.
matt serra
He looked good on the floor, too.
unidentified
Oh, no.
john rallo
He's a very cool guy.
Man, I saw, like I said, I saw footage of him and Murab wrestling.
I don't know where they were.
And I didn't see anybody get caught in this video, but Ilya just seemed to be one step ahead in the wrestling exchanges, you know.
So he's at least on Murab's level.
And Murab's a savage.
joe rogan
You know what he does?
It's really interesting.
He talked about it on the podcast.
He trains each sport individually, and then he puts them all together.
So he doesn't train MMA Jiu-Jitsu.
He trains Jiu-Jitsu with Jiu-Jitsu guys.
So he trains with elite Jiu-Jitsu guys, elite wrestlers.
He wrestles with elite wrestlers, boxes with elite boxers, does everything, and then puts it all together himself.
matt serra
I mean, that is the way to do it.
He's coming at the other room.
john rallo
Yeah, I think so.
joe rogan
Interesting how some camps don't do that.
You go there and you have everybody's doing MMA.
He's like entering into jiu-jitsu spaces, training there, entering into boxing spaces.
I think it's because of that, like we all know that the boxing and boxing is at a higher level than the boxing in the UFC.
There's no way to be as good as David Benavidez if you're not boxing your whole fucking life and doing it every day and only doing that.
There's no way you're not going to be as good as that.
And so we know that.
But if you can get more closer to that by training with them and only training with them, you get Ilya Taburia.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
I mean, that's what you get.
That's what you get.
You get a guy who's boxing with boxers.
john rallo
Yeah, I think you retain more details.
You know what I mean?
joe rogan
But man, the discipline you have to have to do all those things with the same kind of intensity and then put it all together.
Well, that's a good idea.
din thomas
Well, I mean, he's got a very like he's, and that's the benefit of not having like this big camp doing it all.
Like when you're just by yourself and everybody around you is helping you get to these places and do those things, it's a huge benefit.
joe rogan
Yeah.
And it's also like today we know what everybody else can do too.
Like if you're at a certain level like Illya is already, you know your abilities, like you don't necessarily have to be in a camp where there's a bunch of people.
din thomas
Right.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Like you don't need that.
joe rogan
Yeah.
You know which guys you have to bring in for sparring partners.
Concentrate everything on you.
That way you're not dealing with all these dudes in the locker room that maybe you got beef with and Colby's talking shit about your girlfriend and you're just trying to use the sawdust.
Fuck off, Kobe.
You know what I mean?
It's like, there's something to be said for them really small camps.
din thomas
Yeah, I think, you know, as we move forward and evolve, man, I think that's the direction it's going.
Like all the big guys are going to be like, yeah, for sure.
Could you imagine Floyd Mayweather in class with everybody else?
Okay, you go, I go.
unidentified
Like, that shit ain't happening with a blue belt in jiu-jitsu class.
joe rogan
Yeah, exactly.
That's a good point.
Yeah, I mean, and most of those guys would take their camps outside.
You know, like Muhammad Ali did it.
Tyson did it.
A lot of these guys, they would go somewhere, go to Big Bear.
De La Joya did that.
john rallo
That was bringing their people there.
joe rogan
Yeah.
john rallo
Shoot, get away.
Crawford and Canelo?
joe rogan
What do you think of that?
john rallo
Personally, I'm a big Crawford fan, so I'm going to lean his way.
My only concern is just the size.
It didn't look like Terrence's power transferred in the last fight, so Modrom up some more.
You know what I mean?
joe rogan
Part of the problem with that is Modromov is really good.
He's really fucking good.
john rallo
But I just think Crawford is weird to say against Canelo, but I think he's the better boxer, and I think he's the guy who can make the better in-fight adjustments if Canelo doesn't kill him.
joe rogan
It's going to be interesting.
I'll tell you that.
john rallo
What do you think?
joe rogan
I don't know.
You know, it's a big jump to go from 54, which was a step up for 47.
Right?
So it goes to 54, and now he's going to 68.
That's so much weight.
john rallo
A lot of weight.
joe rogan
But Terrence is, I think he's the best switch hitter since Hagler.
john rallo
Hagler was my favorite.
I mean, they claim he's walking around like a buck 90 or something.
And you do know he's a wrestler.
joe rogan
Yep.
john rallo
So he's got that mentality to him.
joe rogan
He also built up slowly.
Like he took his time.
It's been a long time training for this fight.
He came on this podcast more than a year ago, and he was talking about that.
That's the fight he wants.
And that was a long time ago.
I remember.
So he's been trying to get that fight for a long time.
So knowing after he beat Errol Spence that he wasn't ever going to fight at that weight again and then going up fighting Madrimov and then knowing he's got like at least a year before he fights Alvarez.
He got pretty big.
john rallo
Yeah.
Yeah, I like it.
din thomas
I'm leaning.
Yeah.
joe rogan
He's slick, man.
He's slick.
He's super intelligent.
Like he sets traps.
He does stuff.
And then, you know, there's a bunch of great breakdown videos of particularly the Errol Spence fight, like him setting traps.
It's just, he's a very high-level guy, but Canelo is dangerous.
He broke Billy Joe Saunders' whole face.
Broke his whole face.
What he did to AmirCon.
Remember that show?
din thomas
Oh, yeah.
Oh, embarrassing.
joe rogan
Lordy.
Lordy.
And never been down.
Never been dropped.
john rallo
Yeah, Canelo's a stud.
din thomas
Yeah, Terrence, they rented out the Apex for a while.
Was training there.
Kids running around all on the mat.
I was get these badass kids out.
joe rogan
He was using the Apex?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Why was he using the Apex?
din thomas
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'd say 30 people.
You know, 30 people.
Yeah.
Half of them in suits.
joe rogan
How many times did he use it?
din thomas
He was there for a while.
unidentified
Really?
Yeah.
din thomas
They were training at the Apex.
joe rogan
Interesting.
And this is getting ready for this fight?
din thomas
Yeah, getting ready for this fight.
joe rogan
Well, that makes sense because the UFC is co-provolved.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Dana is a part of it.
john rallo
I saw on their website.
I saw, like, you know, buy the Canelo Crawford fight.
In my head, I was like, holy shit.
And then I was like, oh, yeah, Dana is involved with this.
joe rogan
Yeah.
john rallo
That's something you never thought you'd see.
joe rogan
It's interesting.
It's because it's like, I wonder how that's going to affect combat sports.
Like, what's going to happen?
I mean, if the UFC model gets, if they start making fights that people want, like, there's a lot of fights that people just want.
They just don't get.
Like, if David Benavidez and Canelo Alvarez were in the UFC, that would be the fight to make.
The UFC would have to figure out later on.
din thomas
Hey, guys.
joe rogan
Hey, guys.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
These are the guys you guys have to fight.
Like, this is the fight.
Like, it can't be, I'm going to do something else.
I'm going to fight Jake Paul.
No, it's got to be, this is the fight.
john rallo
They've got to change their culture, though, you know, because a loss in boxing means a lot more than a loss in MMA.
Like, the MMA fans are more accepting, especially if the fight was good, where in boxing, their whole role is to build you to 20 so they can get you title fights.
And they're finding people for you along the way.
joe rogan
Well, Canelo lost to Bival, and he lost to Floyd, and I don't think it really damaged him that much.
He's still a superstar.
john rallo
Well, Floyd, he was at that time, Floyd was the superstar.
So I think it probably, I mean, you know, Floyd jumped him at the right time.
And Bival, like, I mean, again, Canelo was doing his thing, moving up in weed and things of that sort.
matt serra
As far as business model, I wonder if he's going to, with Dana involved, like, the problem with boxing is nobody gives a shit about the undercard.
They show up for the main card.
Is it possible for him to make it as exciting as a UFC where he's got the whole lineup where his fights you want to see?
Is there that many boxes out there that oh, yeah, for sure?
joe rogan
They can do that.
And they're trying to do that.
And that's one of the things that they're doing with those Riyadh series fights.
matt serra
Yeah.
din thomas
So, like, they're trying to create the league.
And I think that's where it gets all into the legislation and all that stuff is changing the Alley Act and all that stuff.
So, I mean, it gets a little tricky, but I mean, the goal is to create a league where boxers can go, and then, like, losses won't mean as much.
matt serra
That might change right there because nobody really gives a fuck that much with the mixed martial arts.
You got your fan favorites, you got guys you want to see, you got fights you want to make.
People give them shit about what they're doing.
joe rogan
Pereira got knocked out by Izzy, and he didn't lose anything, right?
din thomas
Nothing, nothing, nothing.
joe rogan
Zero, exactly.
And then he came back and won the light heavyweight title, and everybody's like, He's back!
din thomas
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
matt serra
He's shooting his arrows.
joe rogan
He's back.
din thomas
Ah!
joe rogan
Best walkout ever.
Best walkout ever.
No one's walkout is like his.
matt serra
It's hysterical.
joe rogan
Callum Walsh and Fernando Vargas Jr.
john rallo
That's a good fight.
Fernando Vargas Jr.
joe rogan
That's great.
Yeah.
So these are two good fights.
There's two good fights underneath that as well.
But it's like they're going to have to do this consistently and build these people up and have real good video series like the UFC does with embedded and what they do with the countdown shows and just really get everybody excited about it.
din thomas
I mean, is that a bad thing though for that?
I mean, because people are being critical of the idea of that, but to me, it sounds like a good thing.
joe rogan
To get a bunch of high-end fights on one card.
din thomas
Well, no, I'm just saying like the idea of like a league for boxers to where there's a promotion that will do stuff like that for them.
Because boxing's not doing it for them.
joe rogan
Well, it's all in how much money is getting distributed, right?
So the boxers that make a lot of money are the Canelos, the Floyds, the people that are superstars.
They make a lot of money.
But dudes that fight on undercards that you're watching on TV don't make shit.
And that's where everybody gets confused.
You watch UFC fights, and there's people that are undercards that are making way more money than the undercard people in a boxing range.
Way more money.
john rallo
Tons.
joe rogan
Yeah, so it depends on who's on the card.
The majority of the money, I'm sure, is going to the top guys.
Whereas in the UFC, it's probably a more spread throughout the day.
din thomas
It's a bigger middle class.
joe rogan
Yeah, but they don't have a high end that's the same.
Like Usik made $114 million, something like that.
unidentified
How is that possible?
joe rogan
For his last fight with Dubois.
din thomas
That's possible.
john rallo
How many buys did you have?
joe rogan
And Dubois made like 70-something million.
john rallo
They're just throwing that oil money.
joe rogan
It might even be selling Usik's number wrong.
I think it might have been like $130.
john rallo
That's ridiculous.
joe rogan
You know, crazy money.
Crazy money for that Dubois fight.
So that's the difference.
So that's only possible with the boxing model.
din thomas
Right.
joe rogan
So the guys who eat the most are going to eat the most with the boxing model.
But the people underneath that are not going to be doing nearly.
john rallo
Do you think that fight made any money?
If I'm giving $200 million out between the two guys that are fighting the fight, they're not getting that many pay-per-views.
din thomas
I don't know where the money comes from.
joe rogan
Bro, they got that black gold flashing out.
din thomas
Yeah, I was about to say that's crazy.
john rallo
How do you sustain that business model, though, if that's how they're doing it right now?
Like, people scream about these guys making more money, but the UFC would be out of business if they paid that money because it's just not bringing that money.
joe rogan
Or get the Saudis to pay everybody the same.
Let's take advantage of that black gold.
john rallo
That's right.
joe rogan
Those dudes don't give a fuck.
That money for them is like me ordering a pizza.
Like, hey, everybody guys love pizza.
john rallo
I'll make a call.
joe rogan
I'll get a pizza delivered.
They don't give a fuck.
They're making insane amounts of money.
Like, we don't even know how much money they have because it's not public.
It's not like us.
Like, you know, like Bezos has to disclose his wealth.
Like, the richest man in the world.
Like, are you sure?
unidentified
Yeah.
din thomas
Well, you got to think there's got to be so much if they're paying these guys $100 million to box.
joe rogan
To buy.
din thomas
To box.
Not even do nothing like world changes.
joe rogan
I think that's why Canelo was holding out with Benavites because the number that I heard was $200 million.
He wanted $200 million to fight Benavitez.
It seems like they're kind of close to that.
Well, you know, if they're getting in the 130s for Usik, this is crazy.
unidentified
That's so much money to guarantee somebody.
matt serra
If they do a new model, they got it.
Like, look, the early prelims, shit.
I don't miss those.
You got Edson Barbosa on early prelims for Strakaro.
john rallo
That's deep, man.
matt serra
I mean, that's a fucking sick fight right there.
john rallo
Yeah, two guys that want to bang it out.
matt serra
I like that you're calling close.
He's never had quite his day.
Like, he gets to a certain level.
din thomas
Yeah.
matt serra
And then what is his name?
Fucking.
Baruch.
Baruch.
din thomas
Darius, Darush.
matt serra
Barani Darush.
din thomas
Yeah, Benil Daruz, yeah.
matt serra
Give me another Mint for the brain.
joe rogan
You know, Benil looked great in his last fight.
din thomas
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Benil looked real good.
He looked real good against Moikano.
unidentified
Right?
matt serra
Yeah.
He's a great fighter.
And he's getting a little bit older, too.
You know, he fools you with that gray hair.
din thomas
I was about to say he looks like he's 50.
joe rogan
Yeah, he comes in with that gray hair.
din thomas
He's like 36.
Yeah, he's not that old, man.
matt serra
He's a savage.
He did great in that Moccano fight.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's very good, man.
It's a great time for watching fights.
Who else is on the card this weekend?
matt serra
I was definitely going to be a little bit more famous.
joe rogan
That was Jeff Neil, Jeff Neil, the Russians.
Oh, that's right.
john rallo
Tim Elliott and Kaikar.
joe rogan
Yeah, bro.
Pratez, Pratez, and Jeff Neal.
That could be a banger.
din thomas
And I think it all depends on which Jeff Neal shows up.
joe rogan
100%.
A 100%.
din thomas
If the good ones show up, I think he knocks Pratez out.
matt serra
I think Carlos Pratos takes us in the first round with a knockout.
joe rogan
Oh, and then it's Jared Cannonier and Michael Page.
That's the puzzle.
How about how that dude just goes from middleweight to welterweight, doesn't give a fuck.
That's a fan.
And no one even seems to talk about the fact that he's going up and down in weight.
matt serra
I'm a huge fan.
din thomas
He's like 6'4.
matt serra
I'm a huge fan.
joe rogan
It's crazy that he can make light, that he can make welterweight.
john rallo
He's a super fight, I think.
joe rogan
The only person who figured him out was Ian Gary.
You got to drag him to the ground.
Yeah, man.
Brian Battle and Ruzaboyo.
That's a good fight, too.
din thomas
That's a good fight.
joe rogan
That dude is gigantic.
He was Walterweight for a while, too.
din thomas
He was a boy?
joe rogan
Yeah, remember?
din thomas
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
He lost to Joachim.
He was like a 6'5 Welterweight.
din thomas
But he hits hard.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
Dangerous.
Dangerous dude.
Yeah.
So he went up to 185.
din thomas
Yeah, he trains silly.
I think he was out training with Hamz out a little bit, though.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
din thomas
Yeah, a little bit for this camp.
joe rogan
Was this his second or third middleweight?
Because he quit.
I think that last Buckley fight, he was like, enough of this Walterweight bullshit.
matt serra
Man, these guys are killing him.
Brian Battle is so.
I love when he fucking.
joe rogan
So that's his second fight.
matt serra
I love his mom's middle.
Brian Battle fought in France, was it?
In Paris?
din thomas
Oh, yeah, yeah.
matt serra
And he's like, there's no way you think I'm going to lose a fist fight to a French dude.
unidentified
Don't booing him.
din thomas
There's no way to put him.
matt serra
He's going to lose your fight.
din thomas
He's a lot of fun, man.
unidentified
Brian Battle's a lot of fun to a French dude.
matt serra
Oh, Lord.
Don't booing him.
Oh, it was fucking bad.
john rallo
That's awesome.
joe rogan
Well, everybody's got to remember that's what Colby did when he beat Brazil.
din thomas
Damian Maya.
joe rogan
He beat Damian Maya in Brazil.
matt serra
He was less classy, though.
joe rogan
Way less classy.
But he was going full WWE heel.
john rallo
It saved his life.
It saved his career for shit.
joe rogan
Oh, it made him millions.
It made him millions.
john rallo
Because they were cutting him.
joe rogan
Yeah.
matt serra
Nah.
It's still your soul.
joe rogan
It's still to be said.
I agree.
But there's something to be said.
If you're purely business-minded, talk a lot of shit.
matt serra
Yeah, about people's dead fathers, about their wives.
What a piece of shit.
joe rogan
No, his way.
matt serra
You know what I mean?
Yeah, you talk like that.
You're looking over your shoulder.
He could be having a cup of tea in fucking London a year from now, 10 years from now.
If Leon Edwards runs into him, what do you think's going to happen?
Remember, you brought up my dead father, motherfucker?
I mean, dude, there's stuff, some stuff you could do for the entertainment, but then, hey, man.
john rallo
There's a line.
matt serra
We've talked about repercussions, bro.
You want to talk about somebody's wife or kids or a dead parent?
john rallo
Well, it's the same thing.
Even with Connor, in the beginning, he was a funny shit talker, and then it seemed later in the career, it was more almost like force.
matt serra
He got dark.
john rallo
He's trying to be a bit more darker.
joe rogan
It got darker.
You know what I mean?
matt serra
It's no fun.
joe rogan
Well, it's also you're dealing with people that are dealing with the pressures of being at the top of one of the most dangerous occupations in the world.
And every day when you go to bed, you know there's some dude out there that wants to kick you in the fucking dick.
He's out there right now.
He's out there training.
And that pressure sometimes wears on guys.
And over the course of time, they get neurological fatigue.
Like you're just fatigued from just the strain.
din thomas
You don't give a fuck no more.
joe rogan
He starts being dangerous.
And then you got CTE.
So there's a lot of things going on.
john rallo
I mean, also, the pockets get fatter and you're under that microscope even more.
joe rogan
And then there's down out.
unidentified
Yeah.
If you want to hang out, you got to take a route.
matt serra
It's crazy.
joe rogan
And he probably gets the good stuff.
unidentified
I might try Connor's Coke.
joe rogan
I've never tried Coke, but if I was going to, I'd try it from Connor.
matt serra
Man, it's not even like hiding it, man.
joe rogan
Hey, bro, you got to love that part of him.
john rallo
Yeah, he doesn't give a fuck.
joe rogan
He's a pure savage.
din thomas
Yeah, he don't care about it.
joe rogan
He's a pure savage.
And that's also why he was so good at fighting, man.
In the middle of the Jose Aldo fight, I remember looking in his eyes and watching how calm, like genuinely calm he was.
I'm like, this guy just, and Dana said it best.
He's like, he eats pressure.
He just eats it.
He likes it.
He wants it to be chaos.
Does God say that, but they don't really believe it?
john rallo
Yeah, I was at that fight.
Thank you, Joe.
And when he came in, like, I tell this story to everybody about him.
When he came in, did his thing, he ran around the cage, and then he went in the center of the cage and he just fucking went like this.
unidentified
Yeah.
john rallo
And the place erupted.
And I was like, God almighty, how fucking comfortable?
I think she came out.
joe rogan
She did the walkout song for that one.
It was one of them she did the walkout song for.
john rallo
Yeah, my wife.
joe rogan
She sang it live and it was bone-chilling.
john rallo
You may write.
joe rogan
Oh, shit.
matt serra
You know what's a funny thing is when you see a clip of him saying that somebody's interviewing him and he goes about partying, he goes, partying is weakness for your soul or something like that.
And then there's a clip of him now.
Fucking going.
john rallo
This is the blade music behind him.
din thomas
The salt of the head!
matt serra
Right?
joe rogan
That opening scene in the blade.
din thomas
But no, he was, man, he was something else.
It's Chad Mendez fight.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
din thomas
Like how much shit he was talking to him, but just still in it.
Like, even he got rocked.
He goes down.
He still comes up and still knocks him out.
joe rogan
Eddie Alvarez.
din thomas
Oh, New York.
matt serra
That's the class.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
I mean, going up to challenge for a second world title and hitting the Matrix.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
Full Matrix in a fight with a killer.
Like, Eddie's a fucking killer, man.
matt serra
Definitely.
joe rogan
What he did to Jafael Dosanjos to win the title.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
Wild performance.
Those fights that he had with Chandler that those guys took 10 years off each other's lives.
matt serra
Sorry, my ass.
unidentified
Sorry.
joe rogan
We got those toilets.
They're the best.
There it is.
Aries.
unidentified
This was the fight before.
din thomas
Yeah, this was the Chad Mendez fight.
UFC 189.
unidentified
Oh.
Didn't sound as loud, tartan.
But the angel of spells or the lefty swounds rang out a...
joe rogan
And the best part about this is how he walks out with this giant fucking leprechaun smile on his face.
Yeah, watch this.
unidentified
get to where he walks out jamie in the springing of the air while the world did get But yeah.
joe rogan
That dude just knew how to handle pressure.
din thomas
Yep.
john rallo
Yeah, he thrived in it.
unidentified
might shine through the foggy All right, Jimmy.
joe rogan
That was a fight that he couldn't even grapple.
He couldn't even grapple in training camp.
He fucked his knee up.
And that's one of the reasons why Chad was able to take him down so easily.
He had a hard time training for that fight.
din thomas
And he fucked Chad up.
joe rogan
Fucked Chad up.
john rallo
Maybe we got to give Chad.
He got up off the sofa for this one.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, he did too.
john rallo
Took it over seven days or so.
din thomas
Yep.
joe rogan
Bro, Chad's second fight with Aldo, he got fucked.
I remember I reached out to him after the fight.
I'm like, damn, dude, because the first round after the bell, Aldo cracks him and rocks him.
Like for the first time in the fight, he got rocked.
And clearly after the bell, I'm like, damn, that's terrible.
After you got knocked out by the guy in the first fight, you come back in the second fight.
The first round's wildly entertaining.
And then you get hit with a shot after the bell.
din thomas
Yeah.
I mean, it was still a great fight, though.
joe rogan
It's still a great fight, but it makes me wonder.
Like, if that shot doesn't land, that's a real shot, man.
That was a different.
That was like a real, like, you're almost out shot.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
And if you get hit with one of those in a fight, that significantly changes the fight.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
Significantly changes it.
Give me some volume.
john rallo
Left on the side of the head of Mendez.
Uppercut.
unidentified
See, the chad still isn't recovered.
din thomas
All right.
joe rogan
I mean, that guy way after the buzzer.
din thomas
And that dropped him.
joe rogan
But Aldo was coming on strong.
Clearly.
Aldo was coming on strong.
john rallo
Dude, Prime Aldo, I don't know who's better.
That guy's a fucking monster.
joe rogan
It's amazing how good he still is when he fought Zahabi.
And I think he had his gloves down.
I was like, damn, dude, he's still really fucking good and really fast.
john rallo
And down a weight class instead of up as he got older.
Most guys don't go down weight class.
joe rogan
I know, but I mean, when you look at how muscular he is at 45, and then you think about like what Max did to him, that muscle comes with a price.
And when Max put that pace on him, Max was the first guy to really expose him and put that pace.
john rallo
Jose was all fast Twitch.
You know what I mean?
Remember when he double-kneed fucking Cub Swan?
joe rogan
How about this?
Murab didn't take him down.
din thomas
I know.
unidentified
How crazy?
din thomas
He couldn't take him down.
joe rogan
How crazy is that?
john rallo
He does have a great takedown, dude.
joe rogan
He's 38 years into his career.
Yeah.
And Marab couldn't take that guy down.
din thomas
Couldn't take him down.
joe rogan
Bro, his balance is crazy.
din thomas
He took down, what's his name?
Pyotr Jan, like 10 times.
Yeah, he couldn't take down Aldo.
joe rogan
He couldn't take Aldo down.
Yeah, that's wild.
john rallo
And Aldo's Jiu-Jitsu was good.
He was very good.
joe rogan
He was that double knee.
Like, wow.
Wow, what the?
john rallo
What the fuck, man?
And Cub was a stud, too.
joe rogan
Oh, bro, he was a monster.
Aldo was a modern.
Look, he's trying to hit him even after the referees pulled him off.
john rallo
WEC was a double knee to the dome.
He had some talent.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, for sure, man.
And this is when Aldo was in his book.
din thomas
Yeah, he was different.
Leg kicks?
john rallo
Remember, he murdered Uriah?
Uriah's leg kicks.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
Yeah, Uriah, like, that leg was fucked up, man.
john rallo
Yeah, he told me two weeks he was in.
din thomas
Two weeks he was in crazy.
john rallo
He was on crutches, he said.
joe rogan
Yeah, man.
He was in his prime.
He was something really special.
But, you know, it's like, how long can you keep that up?
He's kept it up more than anybody.
Like, really, because he's still at a world-class caliber at Bantamweight.
john rallo
I mean, dude, for 10 years, nobody touched him.
That's a long time to reign, especially in a weight division like that where he just keeps coming.
joe rogan
He just kind of gassed out in that last round because he was going for the finish.
He emptied out and Zahabi survived.
john rallo
Yeah, I mean, you could make an argument for Aldo and that.
That was a close fight.
I didn't think he got stomped out or nothing.
din thomas
But I mean, how good was he to himself to know that he's retiring probably because he feels like he can't do it at the level he knows he can.
And he's still doing it at a high level.
You know what I'm saying?
But in his head, he's like, I'm not doing it at the level I want to be able to do it, so I'm just going to retire.
joe rogan
Crazy.
Crazy.
Yeah.
That division, man.
Between 35 and 45, it's interesting that 25 gets so little love.
Like, Pantosha is only 10 pounds lighter.
din thomas
I know, I know.
matt serra
He's loving.
joe rogan
He's a straight-up killer.
He's a straight-up killer.
john rallo
It is crazy, though.
Like, nobody cared about Mighty Mouse, and that guy was maybe the top martial artist in the league.
matt serra
Oh, that takedown to unlock that tall.
john rallo
I don't know if you'll ever see something like that.
joe rogan
But it's crazy that it's only 10 pounds.
din thomas
I know.
How do you know?
You can't tell the difference.
How can you tell the difference?
joe rogan
People get real weird.
They get real weird.
din thomas
They just have this bias towards.
Well, I mean, it was like our shit.
Like, we were lightweights, and they cut our division after that little tournament.
joe rogan
Yeah.
din thomas
And who'd have thought that the lightweights would be the best division?
matt serra
He was still going away, too.
They asked me to go back up to welterweight.
and just go, all right, let me fucking...
I was making guys, you know?
joe rogan
Well, the UFC just had a weird position.
I mean, before it really took off, they were just trying to figure out, like, we got to figure out a way to make money doing this thing.
What do people not want to see?
And if someone has this idea, oh, the problem is the lighter weight divisions.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
Those are the most exciting.
Look at him now.
Like, the craziest fights we've seen.
35, 45, 55.
matt serra
Pantosha is a great champ, man.
He defended it, what, three, four times?
What did he do?
joe rogan
Well, he's so good, too.
john rallo
And he massacres everybody.
din thomas
I know.
matt serra
Great Jiu-Jitsu.
He's got striking.
joe rogan
Yeah.
john rallo
Takes torture well, too.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's an animal.
din thomas
He made Kai Car France look bad.
joe rogan
And the first fight was good.
din thomas
I know.
joe rogan
They had a good fight like nine years ago or eight years ago, what it was.
But the difference between how much better Pantosha got was right away was obvious.
matt serra
He's another guy.
He was doing Uber Eats when he was here, fighting in the UFC, and he was still fucking working.
He's a real humble guy.
He's like a real, just the sweetheart of a guy.
john rallo
Good for him.
matt serra
This guy you want to see do well.
joe rogan
Exactly.
But that's why I wish the guy got more love.
It's like, I don't understand.
If he was 145, he'd be a superstar.
Right?
din thomas
Just the idea of being a flyweight just has people spooked out to root for him.
joe rogan
I know.
john rallo
I don't get it.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's weird.
It's weird, but it's always been that way.
Even Cejudo, you know, when he was the champ, and you know, when Mighty Mouse was a champ, like, kind of with everybody.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
Figueredo didn't get the love that he deserved.
Brandon Roy Val.
matt serra
Rob's getting the love.
joe rogan
He's getting a lot of love.
john rallo
Definitely.
joe rogan
But it's always like, it's always like, yeah, but they're flyweights.
din thomas
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, but flyweights are worse division.
No, they're not.
joe rogan
Like, what?
I wonder what the biggest flyweight pay-per-view of all time was.
Like, how many people.
You know what I mean?
It would have to be.
din thomas
It's got to be pretty low.
joe rogan
It would have to be a Mighty Mouse one, probably, wouldn't you think?
john rallo
I saw him talk.
I don't know.
joe rogan
Maybe there's more pay-per-view buys these days.
din thomas
Yeah, I would think that it may have been when Pantosia did it in Brazil because they probably had a lot of Brazilians on the road.
joe rogan
Right, Pantosia Ursa.
That was a good fight, too.
But I bet it's like not high.
din thomas
Yeah, it's pretty low.
joe rogan
Yeah.
matt serra
Shit, man.
I enjoy it.
I enjoy all the fucking way clay.
It's all I watch, man.
Even though I can't even watch the boxing.
I wish I could.
I don't know.
It's just so it's not nearly as entertaining as the mixed martial arts.
And the fact that there's one on like every week, I just.
john rallo
I need it to be a good one.
Two good boxers.
I'll tune in.
I'm a boxing fan, too.
But I mean, if I have a choice, I'm going to watch it.
joe rogan
Did you watch Usik and Dubois?
john rallo
I did.
Usik's like Usuk is like Lemonchenko plus 100 pounds.
He's got great footwork.
He's a great technical boxer.
Now he's starting to put people out too.
Before he was just out boxing people.
joe rogan
Especially Dubois when you see what he did to AJ in that last fight.
john rallo
What is he going to do?
He's beat everybody twice.
In the heavyweight division, who do they have left for him?
joe rogan
Well, Tyson Fury was talking about coming back, but then it looks like he changed his mind.
john rallo
He decided.
unidentified
He's like, it's a young man in sport.
john rallo
He's not wrong.
joe rogan
He's not that old.
But if anybody could have beaten him, it would have been Tyson Fury in his prime.
Because particularly, you know, in moments in the first fight, especially in the early rounds, before he got dropped in the ninth, he was doing really well.
He was lighting him up.
More damage than he's ever seen Usuk take in a fight ever.
And more clean shots that were landing.
john rallo
I mean, look, Tyson was a fantastic boxer, too.
Don't let the dad bod fool you.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
john rallo
I mean, he was light on his feet, you know, very technical.
I mean, he obviously has a size and reach advantage over Usik.
And when he gets that jab popping, he's tough to beat.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's not just a jab.
He's got a slick uppercut.
He's got a crisp right there.
john rallo
He's got a great head movement.
He's defensive.
joe rogan
He's an all-time great boxer.
All-time great.
matt serra
Is Francis still boxing or is he doing MML?
joe rogan
Yeah, he's going to do boxer.
john rallo
Is he going to do it again?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
They were talking about setting up a Francis Deontay Wilder fight.
john rallo
That would be interesting.
din thomas
They need to make that happen.
joe rogan
But boxing, you always get sucked in.
It's like there's these stories.
Like, are they doing that?
Are they doing that?
And then they don't do it.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Are they doing it?
din thomas
Are they doing it?
john rallo
You're right.
din thomas
And they don't do it.
john rallo
I mean, that's one of the problems with the sport.
joe rogan
Well, this is the Benavidez-Canelo situation.
Because if you ask the average, if you want a hardcore boxing fan's dream fight, it's not necessarily Canelo and Crawford, which is a great fight.
But you got this thing where Crawford's jumping up all this weight.
You're like, man, I don't know.
But the great fight is Canelo Benavidez.
Everybody knows it.
din thomas
Right.
joe rogan
Everybody knows it.
That's the fight.
din thomas
Can't make it happen, though.
john rallo
It's been going on forever.
Pacquiao should have Floyd alone.
din thomas
That's what I was going to say.
It happens all the time.
You can't never make the big fights happen.
joe rogan
That has to happen.
That fight has to.
If boxing is to be complete, if the circle of power is to be folded over onto whatever, the rocks you get for your ring, whatever Thanos gets.
Infinity stones.
matt serra
Oh, sorry, guys.
Now I'm back in the conversation.
He had the gauntlet.
joe rogan
That's the only way it happens.
Like, you have to have that fight.
that's the fight.
And if they fuck that up, and if he goes up and now Benavidez is fighting light heavyweight more, you know, In fact, it's terrible.
din thomas
I don't think it happens or it's going to be too late.
Canelo's probably going to lose.
joe rogan
He's going to have back surgery.
unidentified
Did he?
john rallo
No shit.
joe rogan
Yeah.
He had it on his Instagram.
He said his back's been fucking with him for 10 years and he finally got surgery.
john rallo
Like, well, that might or might not help.
Back surgery is always like, 50-50.
Shit, I had one, and I'd knock on wood.
It gave me my life back.
I had sciatica fucking horribly.
joe rogan
Would you get which surgery?
john rallo
Well, they did a laminectomy from like L2 all the way through S1.
joe rogan
Oh, so all of them were bulging?
john rallo
Like, well, I had stenosis is what was happening.
So the bones were growing and pushing on the nerves.
I mean, I would get up in the morning and be fucking holding my wall to get to the bathroom.
joe rogan
And still rolling, son of a bitch.
Still rolling.
That's how dumb she is.
din thomas
You feel business.
Like you said in the beginning.
40 years old.
It always hurts.
matt serra
That shit's the worst.
I think it's an epidural shot.
john rallo
Yeah, I remember when I blew my head.
I tried GSP.
joe rogan
When you fought GSP the second time, your back was fired.
matt serra
It was back in January, New Year's Eve.
I could hardly walk.
And then I got Dr. Yasha on my black belts.
I went to the city, got an epidural shot, and that fucking started to bring me back.
Yeah.
But I literally couldn't walk, dude.
When I would go to brush my teeth, I couldn't posture myself back up.
john rallo
It was fucking bad.
matt serra
It is the worst thing.
joe rogan
Think about that, and then knowing that you have a cage fight coming up against a guy who's the best wrestler in the division.
john rallo
That's what I said.
How do you fight that motherfucker with a bad back?
matt serra
Yeah, well, shit, you saw the rematch.
The first one's way better.
joe rogan
Not at all.
matt serra
Ah, shit.
But yeah.
joe rogan
There's stuff that you can do for your back, but man, it takes a long ass time to heal back injuries naturally.
john rallo
What's going on with yours?
You were saying?
joe rogan
Mine's a lot better now, man.
And one of the things that I made sure I did this year is I do twice a week, I do lower back exercises, like core exercises with twists and lifting, like do back extensions with weights.
That changed everything.
john rallo
Yeah, dude.
I do hypers and the reverse hyper machine for my lower back.
joe rogan
I do that too.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
It used to bother me when I'd play pool.
I'd be done.
I'd be like real stiff, and that completely went away.
Good.
And really, what it all fucked up was from archery because, you know, you pull one way all the time and this side started getting this drawing.
It's almost like a tendinitis.
No, no, no.
I just ignored it and beat it into the ground.
And even though I was in pain, I still kept shooting while I was in pain.
So I fucked it up for months.
Now I draw, I have a cable pulley system at my gym.
So I hold a 10-pound weight and then I draw 80 pounds like I'm pulling a bow.
And I pretend I'm shooting a bow.
So I do that for as many reps as I shoot arrows.
I do that with my left side.
So I'm more balanced now.
And then the lower back exercises.
But fuck, it takes forever to not.
If you don't, if you want to really heal something and really get it better and not get surgery, it takes forever.
matt serra
Let me ask you: with the bow hunting, what do you got against the gun?
What makes you want to, is it more primitive?
Is it more primal?
john rallo
It's definitely harder.
joe rogan
It's more.
matt serra
That for sure.
joe rogan
It's more difficult for sure.
And it requires more concentration.
And it's much easier to fuck up.
And that's why I like it.
matt serra
It's harder.
din thomas
But is it more satisfying?
joe rogan
You can't compare.
I've shot a lot of animals with a rifle hunting, and it's great.
It's very effective.
It's real smart.
It's a good way to hunt.
If you're hunting for food, like if I had to provide food for my family, I would 100% be hunting with a rifle.
100%.
No questions asked if that's what I'm doing.
But what I'm doing is I'm trying to get meat with my hobby.
So my hobby is archery.
And calling it a hobby is like a little disrespectful.
It's almost, it sounds very corny, but it's almost like a spiritual journey.
Like you're going to the woods and you're sneaking up.
I'm doing it with a guide who's a good friend of mine and we go together.
And we're sneaking up on these animals that are trying to avoid mountain lions and bears.
And you're getting within archery range of them and just launching a perfect arrow.
And that's how you're getting your food.
So every time you eat your food, it's the best food in the world, but you're also thinking how you got it.
Like you worked hard for a whole year to prepare for it.
You train for it.
I do cardio for it.
I do weighted, I carry a weighted backpack.
I put this fucking 45-pound plate on my back, and I walk around for hours.
I do a bunch of shit with these different exercises just for hunting training.
din thomas
Well, how close is archery range?
Like, how close you had to get to him?
joe rogan
I'm comfortable anything inside 70 yards if I don't think the animal's moving a lot.
So, if an animal's moving a lot, like in the rut, sometimes they're fighting other males, so they'll run at each other and they'll come back, and like, then you can't take a shot like that because they're not going to be there when you shoot the, they're moving so fast.
It's not ethical.
With a rifle, you could.
With a rifle, you just need them to stop for a second.
Just stop for a second, baboom!
And you got him.
matt serra
Did you ever shoot him but missed the kill shot?
You got to go over to it and stand cut in his throat.
joe rogan
No, what are you doing?
I'm not going to do that.
matt serra
I mean, it's a horrible thing to think about.
joe rogan
You hit him with a second arrow.
Even if you hit him perfectly, and I've hit an elk perfectly before, if they don't go down, they're standing there.
As long as they're standing, you hit them with another arrow.
matt serra
And that usually takes them out.
john rallo
Yeah.
joe rogan
You want to do it as a bad thing?
john rallo
You got one, not enough.
Now you got to track him down.
joe rogan
They're so tough.
You'll track them and you're like, this is so much blood.
There's no way this thing's not going to be dead five feet from here.
And then you'll find them 800 yards away, dead.
john rallo
It's crazy.
joe rogan
They're so tough because you're dealing with an animal that's like every day is mountain lion season.
Every day there's mountain lions just sneaking up on them everywhere.
If they make it to be seven, eight years old, which is when I start hunting them, like these motherfuckers gangsters.
They're wise.
Some of them have one eye because they get their eye poked out by another dude because they get those antlers and jab in each other's faces.
matt serra
My favorite meat is the venison.
Oh, my God.
joe rogan
Have you had elk meat?
Have you had any?
matt serra
I don't think so, no.
God, I wish I would have.
joe rogan
I wish you lived here.
I'd give you some.
matt serra
My father, though, he says game.
joe rogan
He froze there.
I have frozen elk out there right now.
If I had a freezer box, I could give you that.
matt serra
Shit, man.
I mean, because they say that the venison, they say it's gamey or something.
Dude, not the way.
He makes it like a bad thing.
joe rogan
Yeah, if you know how to make it.
matt serra
It's so fucking good.
joe rogan
It's all in taking proper care of it once you shoot it.
If you let the animal lay out in the heat, or if the meat gets dirty, or if you accidentally cut the glands, they have these tarsal glands on their legs.
That's a nasty smell that they're putting out so that the ladies hear it.
The ladies smell it rather and the other men know that they're there.
If that stuff gets on your meat, you're fucked.
There's a lot of it is like bad preparation, bad care.
But if you take care of venison and do it well, it's the best meat.
Delicious.
matt serra
So delicious, man.
I love that shit.
I don't have it often, but when I do, it's my favorite, man.
joe rogan
The UFCPI should be serving that shit.
I bet they serve like buffalo, though, which is also.
matt serra
How's horse meat?
joe rogan
You try that?
I did try it.
matt serra
How is it?
unidentified
Peckoo is loved.
din thomas
Yeah, remember that?
joe rogan
I tried it in Montreal.
In Montreal, there's a place called Joe Beef.
Shout out to Joe Beef.
One of my favorite restaurants in the world.
It's an incredible restaurant.
I went there.
It's fucking great.
matt serra
What does it make you feel powerful?
Is it tasty?
joe rogan
Oh, well, I didn't ask for it.
Let me just say that.
They served it to us.
The guys who run it are awesome.
We know them.
I met them through Bourdain.
And so they just served us whatever they wanted to serve us.
And one of the things they gave us was, it was like a loin of a horse.
And I was like, really?
Like, this is like tenderloin, like horse tenderloin?
And it was really good.
It tasted like game meat.
din thomas
I actually went to Joe Beef with Vitor Belford and Sean Brady.
Oh, wow.
joe rogan
Oh, wow.
din thomas
Yeah, it was a good restaurant.
joe rogan
That's cool.
That's cool.
matt serra
Fogo the chow last night.
john rallo
Just fucking wearing it out.
matt serra
Yeah, man.
john rallo
With the dark lord John Danaher.
joe rogan
Yeah, how's he doing?
unidentified
He's doing good.
matt serra
He's good.
He wasn't in a rash guard.
He was wearing a jersey.
john rallo
He had a jersey on, dude.
unidentified
What?
john rallo
When he walked up, I was like, what the hell?
matt serra
And he's walking very nice.
john rallo
It's right.
His hips are peeling up.
matt serra
He's got fucked up for a while.
joe rogan
So did he get both of his hips replaced now?
Yeah.
matt serra
He's teaching over at his nice place.
john rallo
He's three months out of his second hip surgery.
joe rogan
He looks good.
It makes you wonder, like a guy Who's that smart and that driven towards jiu-jitsu?
Like, what would happen if he didn't have a crippled body?
unidentified
Oh, I know.
joe rogan
You know what I mean?
matt serra
Well, even with a crippled body when he was rolling.
john rallo
Yeah, he used to fuck people destroyed.
joe rogan
I know.
Isn't that crazy?
Like, blown apart knee, you know, reconstructed to the point where it doesn't even like fully extend, right?
Has to get what has he got and replaced so far?
john rallo
I mean, I know both hips.
Did he get a knee too?
He might have got his knee because he said after the hip damaged his knee so bad that he thought he's gonna have to get the knee done.
matt serra
Oh, he's walking great, though.
I was so happy.
john rallo
Yeah, he looked good.
I'm like, man, look good.
It's always good to see him.
matt serra
Yeah, that's my thing now.
I get to see him when I come out.
joe rogan
Your knee doesn't fuck with you, right?
matt serra
My left knee?
No, but I fucking.
The one thing that really is, if I could just, it just haunts me is because I fucked up where you're supposed to step down with your bad leg when you get the surgery.
I went up, I went to put up my curtain, I stepped down, and if you see, I'll just show you here.
See, it's missing here.
joe rogan
Yeah.
matt serra
Ooh, damn.
Yeah, you turn it into him.
din thomas
I'm like, oh, man.
joe rogan
So beautiful.
matt serra
And it's so fucking when I, sometimes I'll walk, it'll dip.
Like, I, it, you know, so it sucks.
I went to go butterfly sweep.
I felt it get real tight.
So I got the stem cells shot right in that bitch.
That's the only one that hurt because they said there's no way to do it.
joe rogan
But they can't reattach it.
matt serra
I would have to done that earlier.
john rallo
I didn't even know I did it earlier.
matt serra
So I went back to PT the next day.
And I was dealing.
I didn't want to go through another fucking surgery.
I just got a new knee.
So, man, the knee itself, dude, titanium.
Adonamium.
unidentified
What if the Wolverine's got to be a bit more?
matt serra
But I could block a kick with that.
I feel great with it.
And I'm rolling.
I'm flexible.
But I fucked up that.
It's a little weak.
It's a little compromised.
joe rogan
Is there anything you can do with late weights?
matt serra
I'm doing squats.
I'm doing my regular squats.
I got to do more.
I have to do more with the weights.
joe rogan
I'm thinking of like single-leg lunges, you know, like with that leg.
john rallo
What do they call them?
Bulgarians?
Squats?
I'll hold like a 100-pound kettlebell and do them one lung.
matt serra
Yeah, I got it.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
matt serra
It's noticeably weaker.
So I just got to do something with that.
But besides that, the knee itself, I just wish I didn't do that because I hear about Bisping running still.
If I run this fuck, I could dip with this.
john rallo
That is my ass guy.
joe rogan
The running thing is weird, but how much time do you have on those knees?
john rallo
Exactly.
joe rogan
Like, you kind of have to be.
john rallo
And you got to get them fixed again.
joe rogan
But I mean, can they do that?
Can they chop the fucking thing off and put a new one in and unscrew it?
matt serra
I'm not looking for it.
I'm holding off of my right one for as long as I can.
joe rogan
Is your right one still fucked?
matt serra
My right one, I just got shot some stem cells in there, but yeah, if I'm walking too much, I'll feel that bitch.
Yeah, I mean, they're both just severely, not my left now, it's new, but it's just fucking arthritis, man.
Fuck, he doesn't sound like an old man with the arthritis.
Oh, my arthritis.
joe rogan
But it's jiu-jitsu.
matt serra
Yeah, I mean, I know, also, to get to 55, I used to just fucking have to run in the morning for 45 minutes.
Low intensity, but just still, I was on a treadmill just fucking on enduro rush.
Fucking just running.
So I must have wore that shit down, man.
joe rogan
I'm sure, but that's what Bisping says.
He's always running.
matt serra
Yeah, you know.
joe rogan
He ran a lot on the streets, too, which I'm sure is a lot of extra power.
matt serra
That's no good.
I can't do that.
Yeah, he's still doing it, though.
He's fucking long.
din thomas
He's out of his run.
matt serra
Especially for jiu-jitsu.
joe rogan
Well, I think he's doing better now, luckily, because for a long time, his neck was fucking with him so bad he could barely get out of bed.
unidentified
Jesus.
matt serra
His body.
din thomas
Yeah, I remember he had surgery, and like a week later, he was right back on the call.
Right back coming.
john rallo
You got to be careful with your neck, too.
Like, that's where the spinal cord is.
I thought your spinal cord went all the way through your back till I had my back surgery, you know, but it doesn't.
It comes down like maybe halfway.
And so that's why when you have your neck impingements, cause a lot of those fucking problems.
joe rogan
That's why that Ernesto Hoost neck kick is so effective.
You know, when Hoost is kicked so many people in the neck, just wow.
john rallo
He was a savage.
din thomas
He was always one of my favorite guys to watch.
joe rogan
Mr. Perfect.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, one of the most beautiful kickboxers of all time.
Like just the combinations he would throw.
Pop, pop, left hook to the body, right low kick.
matt serra
Wow.
john rallo
And they ruined him with Bob Sapp.
unidentified
I know.
joe rogan
Isn't that crazy?
john rallo
Bob Sapphire.
Beat him twice.
Two times.
din thomas
See, that'll always baffle me how Bob Sapp beat that guy.
joe rogan
Well, you know what it is?
Like, this is one of the reasons why Ernesto wasn't like the best candidate for kickboxing to enter into MMA because he was like smooth and super technical and very fast, but not explosive, right?
Not like, like, just launch himself.
But Crocop was.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
When Crocop fought Bob Sapp, Crow Cop fucked Bob Sapp up because Crocop would just blast on you.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like full power, full blast on you.
It's like, it was a different kind of thing that he would do.
And that's why he was so effective in MMA.
Like when he went over to MMA, like all of a sudden he's this fast, powerful striker.
It's not like a boxer who's going to move around a little bit and pick you apart for a few rounds.
din thomas
Styles matter.
joe rogan
Matters a lot.
din thomas
Styles matter.
matt serra
I wish he would have been in the UFC in his prime.
He got over a little late.
john rallo
He had pretty good takedown defense, too.
He was able to keep good range.
He would frame guys off and everything.
Yeah, he was, I mean, and we all know Beth is, what was it?
Left kick cemetery.
What was it?
joe rogan
Right kick hospital, left kick cemetery.
Bro, he fought Heath Herring.
And there's a shot of him throwing this low kick or this body kick deep into Heath Herring's cage.
Like his whole rib cage has just collapsed.
And you just see Crokop's shin basically touching his liver.
It's insane.
It's so deep that you just, it's one of the most painful pictures you see from an MMA fighter.
john rallo
Heath Herring.
Remember that dude kissed him before he fighted.
unidentified
Fighting him.
joe rogan
I am with one shot.
Yeah, in pride.
matt serra
Listen, man, you get what he's doing.
joe rogan
It's the one in the upper left-hand side.
The second one, upper, that one right there.
Yeah, that one.
Look at that.
din thomas
Bro, concave.
joe rogan
Bro.
john rallo
Got to be some broken movies.
joe rogan
And when you know how powerful Crokop's kicks are, and then you think about eating that on the ribs like that.
Oh, my God.
That is.
din thomas
He's like it's folding around his leg.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
I mean, that's another one that he landed on.
That's Josh.
That's Josh Barnett.
Bro, the power that that dude had.
And how about the one that he landed on Vanderlane when he flatlined Vanderlane?
john rallo
Dude, he had some wheels on him.
His legs.
joe rogan
And power.
It's just the difference was like when he was throwing kicks at you, it was 100% gas.
He was not feeling you out.
He was trying to let you know, motherfucker, there's some darkness behind the shaft.
You will see darkness, and then you have a flashlight in your face.
And they'll be like, you okay?
Stay put, stay put.
You're going to be okay.
But then Gonzaga did that to him.
Oh, remember?
matt serra
I was there for that.
john rallo
And then he rolled over his ankle.
din thomas
Yeah.
john rallo
Remember that man?
joe rogan
His ankle was popping.
din thomas
And that will forever be known as the Crocop.
So whenever you see that happen, you always think back to when it happened.
matt serra
That was in London.
We were there for that.
Yeah.
That's right after I got the belt.
And I remember me, you and Eddie went out and got some pasta.
joe rogan
That's right.
matt serra
Yeah.
That's so funny.
joe rogan
That was crazy.
People forgot about Gonzaga.
That was a big win, man.
matt serra
Oh, he shook you, Jesus.
joe rogan
He's a big fucking dude.
Big natural dude.
The heavyweight division right now is so shallow in the BFC.
It's so shallow.
john rallo
It's like without, you know, because I just think they're all playing football and basketball.
joe rogan
100%.
Yeah.
matt serra
What about Johnny?
What's Johnny?
I hate to say.
din thomas
Walter Walker.
matt serra
Walter Walker.
What about him taking leg locks at everybody?
din thomas
Yeah, I know.
Like three in a row.
Yeah.
joe rogan
Looks good.
Yeah.
I mean, we need more of that.
We need someone to like, if Aspinall's going to have, he's got Cyril gone, right?
So that's an interesting fight.
And then who?
din thomas
There's no one after that.
joe rogan
Jack Lewis, just on name.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Derek would be fun.
matt serra
By the way, Cyril Gone didn't have a bad movie.
Not to keep bringing up movies, but I love movies.
But he had a fucking KO with Cyril Gone.
joe rogan
What is it?
matt serra
It's a movie on Netflix.
He has his own movie.
He's an action star.
joe rogan
He's the star of the movie.
matt serra
He's the star of it.
And you might be thinking, all right, how's his acting?
It wasn't bad.
joe rogan
Really?
matt serra
Fucking, he's the new action Jackson.
I'm only fucking around.
unidentified
Cyril Gonzalez was speaking in English.
john rallo
I do remember that.
matt serra
Is it in English?
It's dubbed in English.
It's a friend of mine.
joe rogan
So how do you know if he's any good?
matt serra
Well, I mean, I watched it.
unidentified
What do you mean?
joe rogan
Yeah, but I'm saying it's like it's not even his voice.
matt serra
Well, you could see him.
joe rogan
You say his acting is really good, but it's another dude's voice.
That's kind of crazy.
matt serra
Well, I mean, it's Cyril God's just not going to be.
You don't got to be.
unidentified
He's called KO.
matt serra
It's called KO, but it's not bad.
There he is.
Hey, listen.
joe rogan
You know, it's not the best sign when a fighter starts starring in movies.
din thomas
Yeah, you're right.
joe rogan
I'm not saying that it's not fun.
din thomas
Is this new?
Is this new?
matt serra
This is pretty new.
joe rogan
Yeah.
din thomas
Everybody watching for him and his chances against Tom Espinoff.
john rallo
Yeah, like that's what I'm saying.
You better be training.
joe rogan
Yeah.
If there's a world that can soften you, it's the world of acting.
matt serra
It's a weird thing, man.
din thomas
I mean, acting and music kills fighters.
joe rogan
There's also a thing, like, once you become a movie star, like, I don't know, it just doesn't seem to go well.
Like, remember Tommy Morrison when fought Ray Mercer?
din thomas
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Right after rocking.
john rallo
Oh, that was a hard knockout.
He beat him down.
joe rogan
Mercer had him tangled in the road.
And robes punching him blasting away.
unidentified
Boom.
matt serra
Didn't Ray Mercer knock out Tim Sylvia also?
din thomas
Yeah, he did.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
One punch.
matt serra
That was great.
joe rogan
One punch.
Ray Mercer, man.
And he did that.
He was like 46.
john rallo
Remember when he, who the hell did he fight?
And it was like K-1 or Pride, and they kicked him and he just left the ring.
It was Ray Mercer.
Simmer, threw a head kick.
He looked at him like he's speaking a foreign language and he fucking just left.
joe rogan
Really?
matt serra
Ray Mercer?
Are you sure that was Mercer?
john rallo
I'm pretty sure.
Can we find that?
matt serra
I don't know.
joe rogan
I think one of the most interesting boxers that entered into MMA or entered into kickboxing was when Masato fought cool Vince Phillips.
din thomas
Vince Phillips.
Vince Phillips.
john rallo
Vince Phillips did all right.
unidentified
What are you talking about?
din thomas
He couldn't deal with them leg kicks.
john rallo
Yeah, back when he was.
din thomas
He couldn't deal with that legs.
joe rogan
He chopped apart some leg kicks.
That's what's interesting when you watch a boxer who goes over there and is like, oh, shit.
Like, what is this?
unidentified
They never got kicked in the leg before.
din thomas
When Shannon Briggs fought Tom Erickson.
joe rogan
That's right.
unidentified
Same thing.
joe rogan
Shannon was on the podcast.
He was telling me about it.
din thomas
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
He's like, Jam, every time he hit me, champ.
I was like, oh, don't let him kick me again.
I've got to crit.
matt serra
How did that go?
joe rogan
He knocked him out.
Shannon knocked him out because Shannon hit him with a jab to the body.
unidentified
So here's the Tim Solar Mercer and Sylvia.
joe rogan
So what happened was Tim was not supposed to kick.
They only had this authorized as a fight.
But since it was like an MMA fight, there was supposed to be a boxing match.
One shot.
So what it was was supposed to be a boxing match.
They couldn't get authorized for it to be a boxing match because Tim Sylvia did not have a boxing record.
And so you can't fight a former world champion and you've had no boxing record, but you could fight him in MMA.
It's a world champion versus a world champion.
He knows that boxing is a sport that's in MMA.
You could do that.
And so they made an agreement: okay, don't kick me, and I'll fight you in the cage.
And then Tim opens up with an inside low kick.
And that's why Ray Mercer, you see, like, he drops his hands.
din thomas
Yeah, like, what do you do?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
din thomas
That makes a lot of sense.
joe rogan
Because the original fight they were contracted for was a boxing match.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
And Tim's like, once I got you in here, I'm going to kick your fucking legs.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
And then Ray.
din thomas
That's kind of a cheap shot, though.
If you make an agreement about that, that's a cheap shot.
joe rogan
Jamie, play it again.
Because when you see when Ray gets that inside low kick, he drops his hands.
He's got this look in his face.
john rallo
What are you doing?
joe rogan
What the fuck is this?
So watch.
He steps out, watch this, throws the kick.
Look at his face.
din thomas
Bro, they're like, bro, what's that?
joe rogan
Oh, I can't believe it.
unidentified
I love him.
joe rogan
Tim Burr.
matt serra
Tim Burr.
joe rogan
Out cold.
matt serra
Yeah.
joe rogan
Ray Mercer.
matt serra
Good for him.
joe rogan
I mean, Ray Mercer could fuck, son.
din thomas
Into the shot, too.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
matt serra
About to be a full mount right there.
joe rogan
It's kind of amazing how few boxers have actually entered into MMA.
Not, you know, this was like you got tricked into this one, but it's only like James.
din thomas
You would think more would, too, right?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, I guess not if you see those Usik paychecks.
john rallo
Right.
din thomas
Yeah, but how many guys get there?
joe rogan
Like, think of, you know, relatively Spence and Crawford made.
That was like a big fight.
din thomas
I mean, they probably still made a lot, a couple, you know, a gang of millions.
joe rogan
Right.
john rallo
I mean, I'm guessing in the single-digit millions, though, not fucking hundreds of millions.
joe rogan
I bet it's disclosed.
See if you find out what the purse was, Jamie.
matt serra
We need the next Art Jimison in here.
joe rogan
That's a 25 mil.
din thomas
25 million.
joe rogan
25 mil each.
Nice.
Nice.
matt serra
At least 25 mil for their fight doesn't matter.
din thomas
But even still, it's such a small population of boxers to make that, as we said.
So you would think that more would go, you know what?
I probably got knocked to make 25 mil.
I'm not good enough to make that, but I'm good enough to maybe go to MMA and make 100 grand, 200 grand.
joe rogan
They got to sit there really good.
matt serra
Learned how many other skill sets, though.
joe rogan
That's true.
But if you're a guy like Crawford who started out as a wrestler, that's that much.
john rallo
And there are some of them.
I think like the Citron brothers, right?
One of them was a wrestler, too, I thought.
din thomas
Yeah, Kermit Cintron.
john rallo
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
I was digging through a boxing forum.
They didn't believe the Usik payout numbers.
Oh, they didn't believe it?
They think it's bullshit?
john rallo
Yeah, I don't understand how they can do that.
Unless you're just lighting money on it.
joe rogan
You mean about the Usik numbers?
unidentified
Yeah, the payout.
joe rogan
Oh, really?
unidentified
No one believes it.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, but that's just because they're haters.
I mean, no one proved it.
No one proved it.
It was $200 million.
unidentified
It wasn't on pay-per-view.
There's no, like, unless someone just gave him the money.
john rallo
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
joe rogan
This is the thing.
Those Saudis are known to do that.
I mean, look what they did with that Liv golf tournament.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
They just bought the tournament.
And if they did that with basketball or with anything else, they have enough money to do that with basically all sports.
Supposedly they did it with the John Jones fight.
I said John Jones asked COC for $30 million to fight Tom Aspinall, then pulled out two days after they agreed.
He didn't think it would come up with the number, and they did.
Saudi Arabia was involved.
He was hoping they wouldn't meet the number.
john rallo
I literally just saw that this morning.
That's what Aaron almost said.
joe rogan
Interesting.
I wonder where he's getting his information.
That's interesting.
john rallo
He said earlier in the thing that he priced himself out of the Nganu fight, and he thought that that strategy would work again, but apparently they met the 30 million.
And then John, a couple days later, did the retirement thing and said he wasn't going to fight.
matt serra
Why the fuck would he want to do that then?
john rallo
Yeah, I'm with you.
joe rogan
Listen, it's a dangerous fight.
john rallo
I had to ask for sure.
Especially at this point in John's career.
matt serra
30 fucking million, though?
din thomas
I would take the L for 30 million.
joe rogan
Yeah, but he doesn't want the L. Here's the thing.
The real thing is John's rich right now.
He's already a millionaire.
So what is he going to do?
What's that extra?
It's going to be nice to have an extra 30, but the reality is he's rich right now.
He probably doesn't have to work for the rest of his life if he doesn't do anything crazy.
john rallo
He still makes money doing his appearances and whatever else.
joe rogan
And he doesn't have to take that ass kicking.
Not saying that he would, but if you wanted to look at it from that perspective, like if it's a tough fight, he's been through wars.
The Gustafson fights, all his work.
They all take something out of you.
And you got to know when you don't want to do that anymore.
And if that's where he's at right now, I hope he stays retired.
But then he jumped right back in and said he wants to fight at the White House.
So it's like, it's so hard for those guys to let it go.
When they do let it go, it's difficult to figure out who you are.
john rallo
Man, we've got to see where that train's going to go off the tracks when he's not fighting.
joe rogan
Jane Kepa Robinson.
It's like an Aerosmith song, son.
I mean, guys at all-time great, though.
I mean, if not the all-time great.
matt serra
I know who's going to have been really good lately.
And I forgot who he's going to be fighting, but Dominic Rey is fucked up for him.
joe rogan
He's like Carlos Lynch is crazy, right?
matt serra
Oh, he's like, oh, bro.
john rallo
That should be a good one.
din thomas
In Australia.
matt serra
That's a real good thing.
joe rogan
That's a real good one.
Olberg's interesting.
Olberg's fast.
din thomas
I know.
He's fast.
He might be faster than Dominic Reyes.
joe rogan
I'll tell you what, man.
I rewatched Dominic Rey as John Jones, and I could see Dominic Reyes winning that decision.
matt serra
That was a tough one.
joe rogan
That's a close fight.
I mean, I'm not saying I sat down and scored it, but I'm like, okay, I could see the argument.
I could see the argument.
john rallo
I want to know John's story.
How much Coke did he do the week of the fight?
You know what I mean?
How about when he told DC that?
unidentified
Yeah, regular hours on cocaine.
Like, that's got to be the coldest thing to ever say, right?
joe rogan
You know, they say there's nine years that a fighter can fight at his very best.
It's most for most athletes.
And I think they did this.
Someone was explaining this to me.
They think they did this based on tennis because tennis is all about like fast twitch and movement and the ability to explode back and forth.
And they're not taking any damage.
And you could kind of keep your level going at the highest level for about nine years.
And then everything just slows down a little bit.
It's just too many micro injuries.
matt serra
I mean, the training for these things, that's the biggest thing is the camps, especially as you get older.
Fuck.
You know, getting there in one piece is just, it's just almost impossible.
If you want to just check all the boxes, get ready for these fucking things.
Yeah.
joe rogan
And when guys get to be like 37, 38, 39.
din thomas
It's so hard to predict them to show up to fight.
joe rogan
I know.
din thomas
I got to make predictions.
I'm like, well, they're 38.
Now.
joe rogan
I'll tell you what, dude, I'm not counting out Cannon here anymore.
After he beat Gregory Rodriguez, I was like, God damn.
john rallo
Put it on him, too.
joe rogan
Put it on him.
And Gregory tried to take him out in that first round, man.
He went all gas.
matt serra
Gregory's a beast, too.
RoboCop.
He just came back and knocked out the Joker Hermanson.
And that was brutal.
joe rogan
It was a battle.
din thomas
Yeah, I think Gregory Rodriguez would be the biggest threat to Reiner DeRitter.
matt serra
Oh, that's interesting.
din thomas
Because just like when you think about Styles, just the biggest.
I think he would knock Reiner Dorito's head off, bro.
matt serra
I like that thing.
joe rogan
The striking's terrifying.
DeRitter's got that knee to the body that is so interesting, the way he fucking forces you to clinch and then blasts that knee to the body.
din thomas
It's tricky.
It's tricky.
joe rogan
So good in the entrance with that knee to the body.
And when he did that over and over and over again, I was like, wow.
matt serra
Pay for it one time with that overhand.
joe rogan
That's true.
matt serra
And that's where Rodriguez would be fucking.
unidentified
Yeah.
matt serra
Throw that knee and fucking Robocop.
john rallo
People start waiting.
matt serra
That locked on his jaw.
unidentified
Yeah.
matt serra
But perfect nickname for him, too.
din thomas
I know.
matt serra
Robocop.
He looks like him.
john rallo
He does look like him.
joe rogan
That's a fight, right?
DeRitter and Robocop is a fight.
din thomas
That would be a crazy fight.
joe rogan
That's a good one.
That's a real good one.
matt serra
I'm impressed with his jiu-jitsu, that DeRiddler, man.
Am I saying his name right?
din thomas
DeRiddler?
matt serra
It's DeRiddler.
unidentified
The fuck?
matt serra
Everything goes back to comics.
But, man, he's...
joe rogan
He's so big.
din thomas
Yeah.
unidentified
He is.
joe rogan
He's so big for 85.
din thomas
But so is Robocop.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
joe rogan
Yeah.
matt serra
The way he handled Bo Nickel.
He made the Bo Nickel small.
john rallo
I thought that was a horrible matchup for Bo Nickel.
joe rogan
But it was a lot of those knees to the body.
unidentified
I don't know.
joe rogan
Those knees to the body were nasty, man.
matt serra
I didn't know face.
joe rogan
He was so good at it.
unidentified
He was so good at throwing that knee to the body.
matt serra
He's very calm, too.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
Well, he's been through it, man.
I mean, we haven't seen him, but over in one I've seen him.
That knee to the body is so nasty.
It's so nice.
It's so nice.
matt serra
And he took a punch for it, too.
It doesn't matter.
Yeah.
unidentified
Oh, my.
matt serra
That sucks.
joe rogan
And on the ground, he's a monster.
john rallo
Yeah.
joe rogan
What he did to Kevin Holland, I was like, whoa.
Okay.
matt serra
Jiu-jitsu's on point, man.
joe rogan
So that's another 85-er.
I mean, think about that division.
You got Fluffy, who just, like, has this breakout performance last weekend.
You got, you know, the whole division.
matt serra
Fluffy's funny, too.
din thomas
Hey, what about that African dude?
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
I'm scared of him.
joe rogan
He might be the one.
din thomas
He might be the one.
He is so big.
You know what I'm talking about?
john rallo
It's like a guy who was 185.
din thomas
Yo, he, but he's fast.
matt serra
Does anybody know the African dude's name?
din thomas
Atier, something like that.
Ooh.
joe rogan
Is it Goutier?
din thomas
Goutier.
Goutier.
It's a, you know, it's like a word for you.
joe rogan
Atabi Goutier.
din thomas
Yeah, Atabi Goutier.
Yeah, yeah, that sounds more like it.
joe rogan
Am I saying that right, Jamie?
din thomas
I don't know.
john rallo
He's looking for verification.
joe rogan
He's from Cameroon as well, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
He's scary.
He's real scary.
There's dudes that just, God just gave him an extra little, extra little, extra little.
din thomas
He gave him more than an extra little.
I was, you know, Cadeside, man, we watching these dudes and he's punching this guy like in the back.
joe rogan
And the guy's like going, there he is.
Atiba Goutier.
john rallo
Yeah.
joe rogan
And he's like 6'4", 185, doesn't have an ounce of body fat on him.
I mean, look at that photo of him.
Just look at that photo.
That's crazy.
You know?
That's like one of those, the guy your girlfriend tells you not to worry about photos.
din thomas
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
There's a few of those guys that just, they don't even look real.
Rodolfo Vieira, he's another one.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
You see him, you're like, how's that a real dude?
So here he is, man.
And this is in his last fight.
I mean, vicious power.
john rallo
Yeah, he bought this guy.
matt serra
Vicious power.
din thomas
Like, that guy's just getting hit like, yo, somebody stop him.
matt serra
You were talking about the heavyweights, man.
I was upset by Buscema, man.
din thomas
Oh, Buscema?
joe rogan
Buscema.
john rallo
Steven Buscema.
unidentified
Oh, Steven Buscema.
I've been watching Boardwalk.
joe rogan
I was upset by Barada.
din thomas
Yeah, he looked bad, Buscema.
matt serra
Buscema, man.
He looked bad.
john rallo
Horrible cardio.
joe rogan
How about they fucking got rid of the other dude?
matt serra
That's weird.
That guy looked good.
joe rogan
They let him go.
Like, you fucked up.
din thomas
I think I think they're going to resign him I think it's just a matter of like just like not having so many guys on a roster to have that burden to keep fighting them why that doesn't make any sense if the guy's on the like a win streak guys are the win streak yeah but I think they're I think they're going to resign him though it's just probably so it's just like they didn't sign in time well you know what it is like when they have so many guys on the roster they have to promise them certain amount of fights so oh so it's like let guys go so they don't have to promise them yeah so they don't have to promise him fights but for sure?
john rallo
I'm just speculating because that's why they pay him if they don't.
din thomas
Yeah, because they have to pay him anyway if they don't get a certain amount of fight or not.
joe rogan
I know, but I mean, imagine you just fought your ass off.
You beat Buchetch.
I guess Buchetch cutting you, right?
You're like, what?
din thomas
I think what they'll do is when they need him again, they'll just get him back.
I was disappointed.
unidentified
How bad shape he was getting, cardio-wise.
matt serra
I think he banked on that single leg, which was getting taken away.
john rallo
Have you seen him fight that rug rug guy or whatever and won?
That was a crazy fight, a crazy war.
He took a lot of torture.
Like, I was impressed because most jiu-jitsu guys, when they get hit like that, they're not out there for the fight.
And then in this fight, didn't look anything like the guy that fought at one, and I thought he was going to be better, you know, because he's training.
joe rogan
Let me ask you this.
What kind of drug testing do you think they're doing over there?
john rallo
Yeah, none where.
unidentified
Yeah, look at a drug test.
din thomas
Drug testing?
john rallo
You got a point.
joe rogan
I mean, this is a problem with a lot of guys we got from Pride.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, they come over with different physiques.
They look different.
din thomas
Oh, yeah.
matt serra
100%.
joe rogan
Moudet signs with Octagon MMA, faces off with the heavyweight champ.
unidentified
All right.
matt serra
Well, he's staying busy.
joe rogan
You know, the guy's good, and we need good guys in the heavyweight division.
There's just not a lot of people.
I mean, the thing about it is it's like you got to be exciting.
john rallo
I mean, I think part of it too is physically.
He looks horrible.
I think if he looked more marketable, I bet you'd still have a contract.
joe rogan
I know, but isn't there like something to a guy who looks like shit, fucks everybody up?
din thomas
There is something to that.
john rallo
Especially when he's a good person.
Because he's always related.
joe rogan
Look, when Fedor was in his prime, that was part of his charm.
din thomas
Part of his charm.
joe rogan
Roll around his face and dead behind the eyes.
din thomas
Old man back and shit.
matt serra
How many guys didn't root for fucking Roy Nelson?
I'm not saying he looked like shit, bro.
He's like an everyday savage.
He's knocking guys out.
Fucking, you know, people like him.
joe rogan
Bro, people loved him.
That power that Roy had was crazy.
He came over from jiu-jitsu.
Everybody knew he was a black belt in jiu-jitsu.
Like, always competed in Abu Dhabi and the circuit.
unidentified
Then all of a sudden he's throwing hammer.
din thomas
He got this mullet and shit down here.
matt serra
He's a savage.
joe rogan
He takes a shot better than any living human being that's ever lived.
I mean, who took a shot better than Roy?
He took some bombs, dude.
That guy took some bombs and absorbed them.
matt serra
Nah, he was badass.
joe rogan
And people loved watching him fight with that big belly.
They left off.
john rallo
That's me.
He made it up, too.
joe rogan
Yeah, he'd rub his belly.
Yeah, so I don't buy that.
He looked like shit.
It's just the performance was, it wasn't exciting.
If you watch that fight, that fight wasn't a good fight.
You know, Buchetcha didn't wrestle at a high level.
If you're going to be a jiu-jitsu guy and everybody knows you're as a multiple world champion in jiu-jitsu and you're fighting an MMA, son, you better have some take downs because ain't nobody going to want to be fucking grappling with you.
Why would they do that?
john rallo
You're right.
matt serra
He was just banking on that single leg.
And once he started taking that, he was taking away that single leg very well.
And then I'm like, oh, shit, it's a long way.
I was all excited.
Like, oh, I thought too.
unidentified
I was like, oh, shit, let's see how this goes.
joe rogan
How many times have you watched a high-level jiu-jitsu match between two black belts and it starts in a standing position and no one goes down at all for like 10 minutes?
No good shots.
It's annoying.
They're just tying up.
There's no good shots.
There's no one threatens to take someone down.
Everyone's afraid to commit.
john rallo
Oh, when you start on your ass in class, then you never practice your takedown.
unidentified
100%.
din thomas
You're right.
joe rogan
You're right.
john rallo
You start on your knees.
joe rogan
But it's also that no one wants to take a chance and open themselves up to getting caught, right?
So you don't want to dive in for a double and then get caught in a guillotine.
matt serra
Shit, man.
And Abu Dhabi, I pulled guard every fucking time, right?
I don't give a fuck.
If you trust in your guard or being able to get back, now they call wrestling up because I was doing that back in the day before it was called that.
But like, you know, if you're good at not letting somebody pass, especially the Abu Dhabi rule set, after five minutes, you know, all right, now I'm on back.
If I'm good at getting out and getting up and putting a guy down, you know what I mean?
I don't know.
It's all strategy with that.
But I hate when it's a stalemate with just two guys just fucking pummeling them fucking.
joe rogan
But I get it from the wrestler's perspective, too.
It's like, hey, fuck, fuck sitting on your ass.
Like, take me down, bitch.
You want me on the ground?
You got to take me to the ground.
I get that, too, because that's correct.
And that's one of the things that you see that's like very humbling for a real good jiu-jitsu guy when there's no way he can take a guy down.
And then the guy starts beating him up standing up.
And you're just rushing forward, trying to grab him.
You can't get the fight to your expertise level, your area of expertise.
din thomas
It looks so bad.
matt serra
It's especially bad.
Nothing to fear from you standing.
din thomas
Exactly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Exactly.
john rallo
What about Don Fry and Amri Batech?
Oh, yeah.
That was a bad ball for that.
joe rogan
That was a moment.
matt serra
And he was tiny, by the way.
That was a stud, but he might have done well if they gave him anybody else.
But one, he was a if you watch that again, he's way smaller.
joe rogan
And that's a small Don Fry back then, too.
john rallo
Don Fry was a 200.
That was before he really got on the gas.
Don Fry is a lot different than that Don Fry.
joe rogan
Pride Don Fry is a superhero.
Yeah, he got gigantic.
john rallo
Even his mustache got bigger.
matt serra
I didn't know that that guy, the big Japanese guy, that they were punching each other in the face.
I didn't know that guy became a quadriplegic.
john rallo
Something happened.
I saw a picture of him visiting him.
matt serra
How small he is.
Yeah, come on, dude.
joe rogan
Yeah, Don was not big.
Look at Don.
I mean, he wasn't a big muscular.
I mean, obviously super.
matt serra
This is crazy.
joe rogan
But not the Dom from Pride.
The giant roided up Don Fry from Pride was a different Amari was just trying to get down there.
john rallo
He just grabbed the fence.
din thomas
Grab the fence.
joe rogan
Full-on grabbing the fence.
Look, he's hanging onto the fence with shoes on.
That's the other thing.
He's got wrestling shoes, which is also kind of crazy.
unidentified
Sucks.
matt serra
Poor Omari.
I mean, he didn't have any fears.
john rallo
It was bad.
din thomas
I used to train with Amari back, old school top team back there.
john rallo
It was a long fight.
joe rogan
What do you think Amri Batech weighed in this fight?
matt serra
I'm going to say an opposite round.
john rallo
What do you think?
A buck 70 or something?
joe rogan
He's crazy.
matt serra
He looks small.
I mean, look at his size.
joe rogan
There's different weight clothes.
john rallo
Look how young he is.
I know.
joe rogan
Big difference.
matt serra
No gloves.
john rallo
Yeah.
matt serra
Yeah, shit.
john rallo
Was 30 years ago.
Wow, so crazy.
unidentified
What?
matt serra
30 years?
john rallo
It was 96.
matt serra
Sometimes I forget him fucking in my 50s.
51.
This is a catch weight.
john rallo
I'll be 57.
din thomas
It was catch weight.
unidentified
Yep.
joe rogan
Did it say Amre Betetch's weight?
unidentified
I'm looking up a different spot.
joe rogan
He looks like Walter Weight.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
There was a lot of those fights back then.
john rallo
Oh, my God.
Tons of them.
din thomas
Catch weights?
joe rogan
No, just crazy fights where there was fighting someone way smaller than them.
john rallo
It's like Kerr and Gajell, Fabio Gergel.
din thomas
Yeah, that's one of my favorite fights of all time.
john rallo
I was a big Fabio fan.
matt serra
Well, I was crazy.
Murillo Bustamante fighting Tom Erickson for 45 minutes.
I know.
john rallo
Oh, yeah.
Marillo was a jiu-jitsu guy that had some stand-up and had some wrestling.
He took Linland down.
din thomas
Yeah, remember?
john rallo
He sat on the feet with Chuck Liddell.
joe rogan
I thought he had Linland twice.
matt serra
Twice.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
matt serra
Marillo Bustamante is one of my favorites to watch.
The thing about the Jiu-Jitsu guys back then, some of those guys, Fabio Gajelle's another one.
Marillo is their jiu-jitsu games, it could transfer over from Gi, No Gi, MMA, and it all resembles the same skill set.
You know what I mean?
But it could cross over.
joe rogan
Mario Sperry.
matt serra
Mario Sperry.
unidentified
Yeah.
matt serra
He was great too.
You know?
Yeah, man.
joe rogan
A lot of those guys from that Carlson Gracie team had a real solid team.
john rallo
Real good team, man.
joe rogan
Jiu-Jitsu game.
din thomas
Yeah.
john rallo
Couldn't doubt Carlson's teaching.
Like, a lot of savages came out of that camp.
A lot of them.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Including Vitor.
din thomas
Well, that's how I got my black belt from, from Laborio, from that camp.
john rallo
Yeah, well, yeah, I mean, Laborio was.
Laboro was awesome.
He was a good dude.
matt serra
Where's he been?
unidentified
I don't see him.
din thomas
He's in Orlando.
He's got a school in Orlando.
john rallo
He's still got a school.
din thomas
He's still got a school.
And like the whole network.
matt serra
He's not going for MMA anymore.
din thomas
No, no MMA stuff.
matt serra
I used to see him in Japanese.
john rallo
He rolled out of top team.
din thomas
Never.
Nice guy.
matt serra
What a sweetheart guy that guy is.
john rallo
Yeah, he wasn't.
joe rogan
When did he leave top team?
din thomas
He left before I did.
unidentified
Really?
din thomas
Yeah.
So, I mean, in fact, like when he left, that's when they really hired me to kind of take his place in top team.
joe rogan
Oh, that makes sense.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
That makes sense.
What is this like 2019?
He's talking about coming up.
Oh, Joe Piver.
din thomas
Oh, yeah.
matt serra
Joe Pfeiffer, yeah.
din thomas
He's fighting Abus Magametoff.
unidentified
Yeah.
Ooh.
din thomas
Joe Piper.
matt serra
I like Joe, man.
He's fucking tall.
din thomas
He's got some hands in that fucking shit.
joe rogan
Joe Piver thought that I was too hard on him in the commentary of the last fight.
But it's just because it's just because of his potential.
That's all it is.
I just knew that he was looking for the big shot instead of just letting it come.
He was so good in the first round that unfortunately he had so much success and almost took him out that he started looking to take him out.
And if you load up with Kelvin, he still boxed.
din thomas
I think it freaked him out a little bit that Kelvin was still there.
he's like, yo, I didn't hit this dude with everything.
This dude's still here.
What the hell is going on?
joe rogan
Nobody's got a chin like that guy.
matt serra
Yeah, chubby, though, Kelvin.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
He's a 70.
He's a 70.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
He shouldn't be.
matt serra
But he's always had such problems making it.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
But you know what, man?
It's just like if that guy was at the UFCPI and they gave him all his meals and he had someone babysit him and make sure you don't just don't fuck off.
Don't eat anything other than this.
And it's like too many guys just want to feel comfortable.
matt serra
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's like, okay, but you're not going to feel comfortable losing.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
So you're fighting a giant.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
And that this guy's coming down from an extreme weight.
john rallo
185.
unidentified
First 210.
And that's why.
joe rogan
Oh, Umre Petach is 185?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Okay.
Damn.
unidentified
He's also a late replacement.
matt serra
I got to go back again.
I'm sorry.
joe rogan
Well, let's wrap it up.
matt serra
Oh, man, guys.
My ass is stopping this.
unidentified
No, no, no, no, no, no.
joe rogan

We've been doing it three hours.
matt serra
Okay, I feel you guys are going to fucking curse me after this.
I'm sorry.
joe rogan
No, no, no, no.
We understand.
matt serra
Be in my head.
joe rogan
You got a legitimate issue.
matt serra
I have a lot of issues.
john rallo
There's nothing wrong with that.
joe rogan
