Look at my earbuds.
gordon ryan
I've never seen this guy.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's always doing it.
He does love the UK ones.
brendan schaub
France is the best crowd, though.
Great crowd.
joe rogan
Are they?
Yeah.

Rowdy.

Alright, we're live.
We're live, ladies and gentlemen.
unidentified
Hello.
Here we are.
joe rogan
Hey, Gordon Ryan in the fucking house.
Brian Cowan, Brennan Schaub.
Let's go.
Fight companion.
Jamie, send me the link so I could.
Did you send it to me?
unidentified
All right.
joe rogan
We'll tweet it out to let all the folks at home.
Look at Paul Felder.
Looking like a guy from the 40s.
bryan callen
Do you know what he majored in in college?
joe rogan
Dance.
bryan callen
That's right.
joe rogan
Theater.
bryan callen
Theater.
joe rogan
That's amazing.
Yeah, I know.
It is funny.
bryan callen
It's so funny.
joe rogan
It is funny.
bryan callen
He was at the comedy store one night, and I was like, Can you phone me at Link Two?
Yeah.
He was at the show, and he was like, I was like, do you watch a lot of stuff?
He goes, well, I majored in theater.
brendan schaub
Bisbon did not major in theater and he's booking a ton of roles.
bryan callen
He did the commercial I wrote.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but I'm talking real roles.
bryan callen
Oh, yeah.
brendan schaub
Yeah, your commercial was for UFC guys.
He's booking like movies.
joe rogan
Is he really?
brendan schaub
Yeah, like legit movies.
joe rogan
Bro, that guy's crushing it.
You want to talk about a guy who has had to struggle.
His fucking neck was so bad, dude.
He could barely get out of bed to do podcasts and do his commentary work, and then he's in bed most of the day after that.
brendan schaub
And he has one eye.
joe rogan
His one eye.
He's had his neck fused like three different times.
bryan callen
I was on the plane with him when he was fucked.
He was in this right after his surgery with that brace.
And he was miserable.
I go, how are you doing?
He goes, hey, you know.
joe rogan
Bro, he's been miserable for years.
Like in intense pain for years.
brendan schaub
But he's better now, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, he's slightly better.
We hooked him up at Wastewater.
He got two knee replacements.
So he's got two fake knees.
He's got his neck is all fucked up.
Offer him a fight tomorrow.
He's like, I'll take it.
bryan callen
Wow.
brendan schaub
How about his last fight ever?
They're like, hey, man, are you down to fight Gaslam in China on eight-day notice?
joe rogan
Yeah, right after you just fought George GSP and got dropped with a left hook.
bryan callen
He's been fighting since he was 14, man.
14.
You can see video of him here.
brendan schaub
Oh, he's the face of European MMA.
He's up Mount Rushmore if they had one over there.
joe rogan
Bro, he was a beast.
He was a beast in his day and fought undersized, you know, for a lot of his career, light heavyweight.
unidentified
Yep.
joe rogan
Just the fact the guy won the world title with one eyeball.
I mean, imagine you got a wife and a family and a future.
You're in your 30s.
You're like, well, I still have one eye.
brendan schaub
But here's my thing.
joe rogan
That's so crazy.
That's so gay.
bryan callen
He's wearing eye patches.
joe rogan
He's such a gangster.
gordon ryan
He's fighting like that.
Like, you have your retina detached.
And you can go blind and the one eye you do have.
joe rogan
And he got his retina detached in that eye, too.
unidentified
Yeah.
gordon ryan
So it's like, what's crazy has one and you're doing a sport where you can definitely lose.
brendan schaub
Yeah, no doubt.
What's crazy, though, too, is the commissioner was like, ah, he's good.
joe rogan
Well, you know what he did?
He memorized the fucking scale.
The eyeball thing?
Read a tail chart.
bryan callen
That's a junkie for fighting.
joe rogan
That's crazy.
How many guys are looking for a way out all the time?
And this fucking guy fights 10, 11 fights in the UFC with one eyeball.
brendan schaub
He's a legend.
Legend.
bryan callen
That's unbelievable.
joe rogan
Just face of it.
This is going to be an interesting fight.
Benoit Saint-Denis and Mauricio Ruffi.
Rufi is fucking crazy at 155.
brendan schaub
He's like a Brazilian Connor.
joe rogan
But he's huge.
unidentified
Huge.
joe rogan
It doesn't make any sense that he is 155.
He's like 6'2.
He's strong.
bryan callen
He's 6'2.
joe rogan
He's huge.
unidentified
He's undefeated.
joe rogan
He's Rufy.
brendan schaub
He's undefeated in the UFC.
joe rogan
Bro, he wheel kicked Bobby Green into another dimension.
He's super talented.
brendan schaub
Cardio is the only question.
Hasn't fucked up.
joe rogan
5'11.
brendan schaub
Competition.
joe rogan
Is he only 5'11?
It says on Google.
Oh, I don't believe that.
Google beat bullshit.
I think he's tall.
brendan schaub
Come on, Jamie.
Come on, bro.
unidentified
It's 5'11, 156.
bryan callen
And Mike Fantasy is 6'2.
joe rogan
I believe he's taller than that.
I've seen him standing next to like Trickus Duplicis and all these other guys.
He's like, he's fucking tall as shit, man.
brendan schaub
Tough fight for your boy BSD in his hometown.
bryan callen
Yes.
brendan schaub
BSD, he takes some chances, man.
joe rogan
He does, but the thing is, like, on deep striking and striking, Rufy has a giant advantage.
And Rufi's not a slouch on the ground.
And Benoit Saint Denis, really good at judo.
bryan callen
Yo, some of these guys who fight at 55 when you see them, like the fact that Michael Chase was able to make 55 at one point in his career is so ridiculous.
He walks around at 6'2, 200 pounds.
joe rogan
They tore their fucking kidneys apart, man.
Just break your fucking knees.
Yeah, you're drying your organs out like an old sponge.
bryan callen
Like, you're your Rodriguez at 45?
That's ridiculous.
gordon ryan
Did you say Khabib was the biggest 55er?
joe rogan
No, Glason.
Glason Taibau.
And I think that's the one guy that should have beat him.
If you look at the record, you know, you look at like Khabib's got an undefeated record.
There's an asterisk.
And that asterisk is Glason.
Glason T-Bow.
That was a very fucking close fight that I thought Khabib lost.
But it was early in Khabib's career.
You know, it was before he won the title.
brendan schaub
But to your point, Khabib, 55, biggest at like the championship level.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Khabao was never like world class.
No, well, he was world class, but he was never.
brendan schaub
Well, I'm talking like world class in the 55 division, like top five.
He was never like tip of the spear.
joe rogan
Well, if you think that he almost won or could have won, he definitely could have gotten that decision over Khabib.
He's right up close.
But he's a, he's, you know, early in Khabib's career, to your point.
bryan callen
255 is way bigger than Khabib.
brendan schaub
After a while, bro.
joe rogan
These guys, their body just can't do it anymore.
It's like, yeah, how many fights can you have where you can still fight at your potential?
Look at the size of T-Bow.
That's so huge.
bryan callen
I saw him.
joe rogan
He was well over 200 pounds.
bryan callen
Oh, yeah.
I saw him at top team, and I couldn't believe how thick he was.
joe rogan
Bro, he's so thick.
bryan callen
It made no sense.
joe rogan
He had a perfect physique.
gordon ryan
Well, dude, the craziest thing to me is Pereira making 85.
joe rogan
Oh, that's the nutty.
bryan callen
That's the nuts.
joe rogan
Hands down.
gordon ryan
I met him.
I was like a Jack 235 once, and he was like way bigger than me.
And I was like, what the fuck does this guy make 185?
bryan callen
And his hands are.
joe rogan
Let me take that.
gordon ryan
The 12th of me is longer than me.
Every part of him is bigger than me.
Like, how does this guy make 185?
joe rogan
The craziest one was Rumble Johnson.
Yep, yep, yep.
bryan callen
Rumbo was crazy.
joe rogan
Rumbo was the guy.
bryan callen
Dude, I was doing Warrior with him.
He was 235.
joe rogan
He fighting 170.
bryan callen
Dude, he fought at 170.
When I say 235, I remember I was saying to Sam Sheridan, I go, I feel bad about myself.
He goes, why?
Because I'm looking at fucking, I didn't grow.
Like, how did I get to look at him?
Like, I want to look like that.
I just want to look like him.
And he sucked down to 70.
It was the craziest shit ever.
joe rogan
Well, look at the size of him in the lower right.
brendan schaub
He got juicy.
There's a law there where he just.
gordon ryan
That's where I met him.
When he was fighting at 170, I was like 12 years old.
joe rogan
What did he die of?
bryan callen
Did he get sepsis or liver or something with his liver?
joe rogan
God damn, man.
bryan callen
It might have been liver.
It might have been some kind of a liver cancer or something.
brendan schaub
He was so talented, too.
He came into our gym in like his prime, and the coach was like, are you right or left-handed?
He's like, whatever you want to do.
He's like, well, left or right, man.
He's like, literally, whatever you want to do.
And he was like, 230 pounds were all.
unidentified
Oh, shit.
joe rogan
Okay.
Organ failure due to complications from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a rare immune disorder.
bryan callen
And he had it for a long time.
He knew he had it.
joe rogan
That's horrible.
bryan callen
Remember when he said, I have to retire?
I'm retiring for other things.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Terrible.
And then he died shortly after.
bryan callen
That's crazy.
It happened to my friend.
Just died.
We didn't know, but he had bone marrow cancer.
We didn't know.
brendan schaub
Keeby went to that restaurant, didn't he?
bryan callen
Via Veneto.
unidentified
Yeah.
bryan callen
My boy Fabrizio, one of my favorite people.
And he just stopped answering texts.
And I was like, you know, what's going on?
And he goes, no, I'm good, brother.
I'm just taking a break.
Remember, not you, but just like, you know, taking a break and relaxing.
And I was like, that doesn't make sense.
Turns out he was in LA.
And then I think he got septic or something like that.
His family keeps it close to the best, but that was a good buddy of mine.
But just crazy that I get a call and says, hey, he passed off.
brendan schaub
But this is Brian in a nutshell.
We do the show Monday.
I'm like, hey, Benny's like, man, give me.
Oh, yeah.
My friend died.
bryan callen
Jesus Christ.
I don't know how to deal with it.
I'm not good with emotion.
joe rogan
It's hard when someone dies because it doesn't feel real.
bryan callen
It doesn't feel real.
joe rogan
Especially if you don't see them dead.
It's like, what?
You're not there anymore?
I call you.
You don't answer?
bryan callen
My buddy called me.
My buddy calls me and he goes, hey, man, just look like this.
He goes, hey, man, we lost Fabrizio last night.
I go, what?
joe rogan
Where is he?
bryan callen
What are you talking about?
And he goes, he passed.
I go, what?
Because I had no clue.
I had no idea.
brendan schaub
He was such a good guy.
He's one of the best food ever.
gordon ryan
They fucking released the ZR-1 Xpex or ZR-1 around Nuremberg.
I'm like, oh, man, let me send this to my dad.
My guy's been fucking dead for five years.
brendan schaub
You took it to another level.
unidentified
I'm sorry.
Oh, my God.
gordon ryan
He just squeezed.
bryan callen
My head just goes down.
Ah, never mind.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's weird when people die.
bryan callen
It is.
joe rogan
It's very odd.
brendan schaub
The ZR-1's badass, though.
gordon ryan
Their dad would have been.
You see, they did the Nuremberg fucking test.
And they got with Professor Nürburg.
It was with the engineering.
joe rogan
Nuremberg is Nazi Germany.
You mean Nureburg Ring?
gordon ryan
Nurburg Ring.
unidentified
Yeah.
gordon ryan
I have no idea how to pronounce it.
bryan callen
Nuremberg.
gordon ryan
I just say it.
joe rogan
I just see it.
unidentified
I just see the hard one like that.
gordon ryan
The one that begins with an end.
joe rogan
I drove that ZR-1, not the X, but the regular one.
I drove it around Coda.
It's fucking incredible.
It's incredible.
It's like 1,100 horsepower.
It sounds like just like the perfect vehicle.
It sounds so good.
It feels so good.
It's got such handling.
It's so good, dude.
unidentified
It's so fucking fast.
gordon ryan
Does it have a traction issue?
joe rogan
No.
brendan schaub
Fuck, no.
joe rogan
Mid-engine giant ass fucking wheels, mid-engine, giant-ass tires, the widest tire you can buy on a production automobile.
brendan schaub
But Joe would drive that shit, and then he calls me.
I'm like, I need to figure out a way to get one.
I need to sell some shit.
joe rogan
It's such a good car.
They nailed it, man.
It's like they, first of all, they nailed it with the mid-engine with the Corvette, the C8.
And then this is that times a thousand.
bryan callen
I remember one time, I don't know anything about cars, and Joe pops the hood of this new Porsche he had, and he kind of like went like this.
The way you do a magic trick, he goes like that.
And I was like, oh, man.
I was like, and you said something about it being dual aspiration.
I was like, dual?
joe rogan
You don't even know how to say that.
unidentified
Fuck yourself.
joe rogan
Dual aspiration.
He's made up of terms.
It has aspirations.
bryan callen
What inspiration?
It was some dual thing.
I was like, oh, man.
It's got two lungs instead of one.
My car has one lung.
joe rogan
He's just making things up.
bryan callen
That's what I heard.
I heard dual aspiration.
unidentified
All right.
joe rogan
So this is the first fight.
Gomez is very good.
He's from France.
That's that dude right there.
unidentified
Yep.
joe rogan
Very good striker.
And then who is this gentleman?
bryan callen
Some white guy.
joe rogan
That guy looks like Poland.
They blocked him right out of Kentucky.
unidentified
Yeah.
bryan callen
Poland or Kentucky.
joe rogan
I've never been to Paris.
That is a layover there once.
brendan schaub
I have no desire to go.
bryan callen
Great city.
Great city.
brendan schaub
I have no desire to go.
joe rogan
How do you say that name?
Ruchala.
Richarda.
unidentified
Rachala.
joe rogan
Ruchala.
bryan callen
Ruchalla.
Ruchala.
Anybody who's fighting in France usually isn't French.
It's like by way of like Russia, you know what I mean?
Armenia.
joe rogan
Yeah, France is very heavy in terms of its immigration.
unidentified
Yes.
joe rogan
A lot of immigrants.
Francis and Gano.
That's where he is.
brendan schaub
Oh, that's right.
But even with Imavov, you know, that was the build up to this fight.
They're like, he's not really French.
You know, he's originally Dagestani.
bryan callen
Yeah, or Russian, maybe, right?
brendan schaub
I think Dagestani.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
Your fave.
bryan callen
Yeah, my fave.
Every time there's a Dagestani knocking somebody out, he's like, are you jerking off, Callan?
Huh?
All of those daggy nuts.
brendan schaub
Jerking off their nuts.
bryan callen
Man, like, look at the way they control their top control.
They're flow wrestling.
They're transitions.
unidentified
How about that guy sent you guys in the text message today?
bryan callen
Oh, dude.
joe rogan
That young kid.
That May Thai kid.
bryan callen
That axe kick.
That axe kick.
joe rogan
The thing about that kid, though, is I don't think he's a grappler.
I think it's just Muay Thai.
That's why he's fighting in one.
brendan schaub
It's always weird when you see a daggie and he's good at stand-up but not wrestling.
What the fuck you been doing?
joe rogan
How about that?
gordon ryan
Yeah, well, that's Shara Bullet at 145.
joe rogan
Six foot at 145 was kind of bananas.
brendan schaub
Oh, Chery Bullets fighting Paulo Costa.
bryan callen
Oh, that's a good idea.
joe rogan
Here's another guy with one eye.
Yep.
Sharah Bullets out of his fucking mind.
unidentified
Yep.
bryan callen
He's a big boy.
brendan schaub
How the fuck does he pass?
What's the commission doing?
bryan callen
You're good.
joe rogan
He doesn't fight in America.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Where we have rules.
brendan schaub
No, didn't he fight?
joe rogan
I don't think he fought in America yet.
I don't believe so.
Did he?
brendan schaub
I think you're right.
joe rogan
I don't believe he's fought in America.
brendan schaub
They're like, you just stay out there.
I thought it was going to be tricky for Hamza to fight here, but once Trump came president, they said, come on in, buddy.
joe rogan
First round.
If you want to sync up to us, it's 452, 451, 450, 449, 448.
Here we go.
First round.
This is a very good card, though.
brendan schaub
Great card.
joe rogan
Especially the last two fights.
brendan schaub
Oh, for the locals, too.
Like, there's a bunch of big names in France on here.
Like, if you're watching local MMA, all the top stars on this card, they stack this one right.
joe rogan
Yo, our boy Kentucky can move.
brendan schaub
Is he from Kentucky?
joe rogan
He is now.
bryan callen
Gordon, you should take a couple MMA fights and just turtle up.
joe rogan
They're all around in Abu Dhabi.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, they're all in a part of the world like, my friend, not a problem.
Not a problem, my friend.
brendan schaub
He did film a movie in Hollywood, though, so they allowed him to do that.
bryan callen
Sure.
joe rogan
They allowed him to come over here briefly.
brendan schaub
And he was a pirate.
joe rogan
They probably put an ankle monitor on him.
bryan callen
100%.
He's not hard to find.
Find that red-bearded guy with one eye.
brendan schaub
Yeah, his only hiccup was Michael Venom Page.
joe rogan
Well, that just shows you how fucking good Michael Venom Page is.
That's the puzzle.
brendan schaub
I like MVP at 85.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
I love my 85.
joe rogan
Yeah, man.
Well, the Cannoneer fight, I was like, ah, the size.
brendan schaub
This is where he might meet his match.
We're like, man, he fucked him up.
joe rogan
But he fucked around too much.
Cannoneer got him on his back.
brendan schaub
And that's on MVP.
Like, if you have a guy at that caliber, hurt, fucking finish him, dude.
Don't wait around.
bryan callen
How about Cannonier at 42?
He looks like he's made of metal.
joe rogan
He is.
bryan callen
Hand me that lighter, buddy.
gordon ryan
It's interesting with MVP because he's so hard to take down because he always has down block ends.
unidentified
Yep.
gordon ryan
So all the punches come from the bottom and he also has a down block hands.
But then once he actually gets put on bottom, he didn't wasn't, he couldn't get up.
joe rogan
Those guys with that point fighting style are so hard to touch because they're so used to playing that tag game and their ability to close distance is nuts.
bryan callen
Yeah, when you're like the blitz, his speed.
joe rogan
Oh, accuracy, too.
I mean, he makes everybody look stupid.
He made Kevin Holland look stupid.
I wonder what he looks stupid.
brendan schaub
I wonder what they do with an 85, though, because you start going towards those upper echelon guys.
It gets dicey.
joe rogan
Well, it's going to be interesting to see.
You know, it's going to be interesting to see.
As long as he doesn't fuck around like he did in the third round with Cannonier, I think people are going to have a really hard time even touching him.
Early on, for sure.
bryan callen
He's just so fun to watch anyway.
I would keep him as he's just so entertaining.
brendan schaub
No, dude, there's so many super fights.
bryan callen
100%.
joe rogan
Did you see what he's saying to Cannonier?
Calm down.
unidentified
Chill, bro.
joe rogan
Chill my fight.
unidentified
I know.
joe rogan
In the middle of the fight.
unidentified
Chill.
joe rogan
After he punched him in the face.
brendan schaub
Chill.
unidentified
Chill.
bryan callen
Like, what do you do to that?
unidentified
Nothing.
joe rogan
This guy just punches you in the face.
And he's telling you to chill.
bryan callen
You swing an air because it's just like, oh, God.
brendan schaub
Think how good Ian Machado Gary is.
joe rogan
I know.
brendan schaub
People sleep on Ian.
He's such a beast, man.
joe rogan
Yeah, you can't.
Well, it just shows you how good Shavkot is.
unidentified
Yeah.
Right?
joe rogan
The only guy that's ever beat him by decision.
brendan schaub
Yeah, that was a good thing.
joe rogan
They're doing Shavkot versus Sean Brady.
That's a good fight.
brendan schaub
I love that fight.
joe rogan
That's a real good fight.
That's a real good fight.
I'd like to know what injury Shavcott had that led him to not take the title shot.
Wild.
Yeah.
I mean, it must have been a serious problem.
He had surgery.
I know he had surgery.
But apparently, before the Machado fight, he was not going to take that fight.
Like, he's that injured.
But he took that fight, won that fight, and then had to get surgery.
brendan schaub
He had a lot of hype, too, and then just kind of went.
joe rogan
Yeah, people forget, man.
There's so many good dudes.
You know, it's Carlos Protest is coming up.
How about that fucking guy?
Jeff Neal.
brendan schaub
Now he's fighting Leon Edwards.
unidentified
Ooh.
brendan schaub
Protez versus Edwards.
I'm pretty sure it's on Mass Square Garden.
Is it Mass Square Garden, Jamie?
bryan callen
Pratez is so much taller than I. I'll get you some with that.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
brendan schaub
That's a tough fight for Leon.
joe rogan
That's a tough fight.
That kid's an animal.
Protes is smoking cigarettes, drinking.
brendan schaub
Again, Machado Gary beat him.
joe rogan
Yep, beat him.
brendan schaub
People sleep on Ian.
joe rogan
He had Machado hurt, though.
He dropped him, remember?
Is it Madden Square Garden?
bryan callen
So Brady's fighting Shavkot?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Wow.
I like that fight a lot.
gordon ryan
Brady's a baby gorilla.
Brady was impressive when he fought Leon.
Oh, yeah.
He did a lot of most of the things right to keep him down.
joe rogan
Yeah, and he's got these extra layers of muscle on his back that make him look like a turtle.
gordon ryan
Yeah.
bryan callen
Who is his loss, too?
joe rogan
Who did he look?
brendan schaub
Bala Mahan.
unidentified
Balal.
joe rogan
Balal stopped.
brendan schaub
He got beat up back.
joe rogan
Look at that fight.
brendan schaub
But he learned from Edwards versus Protestant.
How about Protes just smoking six?
Yeah, too.
joe rogan
It's crazy.
bryan callen
It's like Joe Schelling.
unidentified
I love it.
gordon ryan
It's like Hulk Persona is basically like, I want to prove you can be degenerate.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
gordon ryan
And still fuck people up.
joe rogan
Well, he can.
brendan schaub
He's doing it.
joe rogan
He's that good.
But also, over 100 fights.
bryan callen
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
Boy Ty, kickboxing, MMA.
Over 100 fights.
bryan callen
Crazy.
brendan schaub
He's a talented guy.
joe rogan
Under 30.
bryan callen
Come on.
joe rogan
Right?
How old is he?
How old is Pratez?
I think he's 28.
bryan callen
That's like those Russian amateur fighters.
joe rogan
32?
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
Oh, is he really?
bryan callen
Yeah.
That's like Russian boxers.
Their amateur careers will be like 150 fights before they even turn pro.
joe rogan
Bro, the craziest guys are the Ties.
Buakow just fought recently.
He's 43.
I think he has 287 fights.
bryan callen
So insane.
unidentified
What?
bryan callen
So what?
joe rogan
But I think 287 times.
brendan schaub
But that's boxing in general and kickboxing in general.
Like even in the States, that's typically how it is.
Like those young dudes have so many amateur fights, but we're used to the Jake Paul's and this shit, and people just jump to the top.
unidentified
Right.
brendan schaub
Where it's kind of watering it down.
bryan callen
Yeah, they're brought up with people that are at their level slowly, especially with boxing.
joe rogan
Speaking of boxing, what do you think about next week?
bryan callen
Canelo?
Can't wait.
brendan schaub
Oh, Canelo.
I see, I don't think it's going to be that entertaining of a fight.
What?
joe rogan
What makes you say that?
unidentified
Why?
brendan schaub
I mean, I guess if Crawford takes some chances, but he's jumping up such a high weight class.
Canelo by decision.
bryan callen
I'll tell you what, though, Crawford looks thick.
joe rogan
You see the photos of him that he put on his Instagram?
bryan callen
He's got big legs.
I know.
joe rogan
He's fucking jacked.
So you think that makes him fast to piss ten.
bryan callen
That's a good question.
brendan schaub
You think it makes him fast?
bryan callen
That's a good question.
joe rogan
Pissed him.
bryan callen
That's how dare you.
But B, I'm not sure.
joe rogan
I'm not sure if he's doing anything, but he might be.
bryan callen
Yeah.
I'm not sure that his father's.
joe rogan
Look at that.
Come on, son.
Look at that.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
Cowan's jerking off this lady.
100%.
bryan callen
I have a boner that could cut glass right now.
joe rogan
There's a photo on one of the websites that shows him when he's fighting at 47, ripped versus him fighting now at 68, ripped.
And he definitely looks thicker.
He looks quite a bit thicker.
brendan schaub
Technical, he's better than Canelo.
I just don't see him being Canelo.
bryan callen
I don't know if he's better technically.
Canelo's pretty good.
brendan schaub
Pound for pound number one in the world.
bryan callen
He's amazing.
brendan schaub
He's so good.
joe rogan
Crawford's so good.
bryan callen
What he did to Errol Spence is unbelievable.
brendan schaub
But then also remember, Crawford hasn't fought in two years.
joe rogan
Is it that long?
brendan schaub
Yep.
bryan callen
He's great in this.
joe rogan
Matt Madramoff was two years ago.
Well, the thing about Errol Spence, though, you got to remember, Errol Spence crashed his Ferrari and flipped it and flew out and landed on his head.
Like he got fucked up in that car accident.
bryan callen
I know, but I don't think it had anything to do with it.
I think Crawford's just got a higher fighter.
brendan schaub
No, I had to do something with it.
A guy that gets that fucked up.
bryan callen
Crawford's so good.
Like he does that to everybody.
joe rogan
Crawford's so good.
No doubt.
gordon ryan
He was like he was ejected from his Ferrari and landed on his skull.
It was like he was fine.
joe rogan
Go back to that.
Take that consideration.
Callan, you need to take a screenshot of that and bring it into the show.
bryan callen
Dude, that's burned in my mind.
It's burned in my mind.
joe rogan
Bring it into the bathroom later.
bryan callen
I'll start crying.
That's fantastic.
joe rogan
When you come, you're going to cry.
bryan callen
I'm full of shame.
joe rogan
As you're coming, oh, no.
bryan callen
And then I'll watch it, and then I'll look at it again.
unidentified
And then you look at yourself in the mirror.
Think about in boxing.
brendan schaub
So you got Canelo Crawford.
You got Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather.
That's happening.
And then you have Jake Paul Javante Davis.
That's the state of boxing.
joe rogan
That's crazy.
brendan schaub
Let that sink in.
Jake Paul.
joe rogan
Javante Davis is so crazy.
135 versus 200.
That is so nuts.
gordon ryan
They're all exposition.
brendan schaub
None of them are real.
joe rogan
They're exhibitions.
bryan callen
But what does that mean?
joe rogan
Just means you don't really, nobody wins.
brendan schaub
They're not right.
It's kind of, I mean, it's weird.
I don't want Jake to assume that they're not real.
It's not like a real scrap.
It's not real.
bryan callen
Really?
So they're not trying to knock each other out?
joe rogan
No, Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather don't like each other.
They have not liked each other forever.
bryan callen
Tyson and Mayweather.
unidentified
Yes.
brendan schaub
But they like each other.
joe rogan
Mike Tyson and Mayweather don't like each other.
If there's a fight that might be real, like where Mike Tyson might say, I'm going to knock this motherfucker out, or I'm going to try to knock this motherfucker.
bryan callen
It would be Floyd.
They wouldn't.
joe rogan
Yeah, because if you look at the Jake Paul fight, no disrespect.
And if you look at the Roy Jones fight, no disrespect.
They look like they were sparring.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
Right?
It looked like there were agreements made.
I do not know if Mike would honor any of those agreements if there was a moment to really.
brendan schaub
If he'd be for years.
joe rogan
Yeah.
If there was a moment to really, could he hit him?
I mean, that little motherfucker can move still at 50 years old.
He's so slick.
He's still in shape.
He's still fit.
They're both old as fuck.
Old as fuck.
brendan schaub
But this is the boxing.
gordon ryan
How old is Mayweather?
brendan schaub
67?
unidentified
49.
bryan callen
Dude, Bernard Hopkins.
Bernard Hopkins was still at the best in the world at 50.
joe rogan
Yep.
bryan callen
I mean, that's incredible.
brendan schaub
That doesn't mean shit, though.
With this.
Because he was active fighting contenders.
joe rogan
Kentucky's got Gomez on the ground.
brendan schaub
You're talking about two retired guys.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Fighting the exhibition.
joe rogan
So weird money grabs.
bryan callen
It's so weird.
joe rogan
Yeah, it is weird.
It's money grabs.
I don't like it, but it's fun.
You know, something to watch.
unidentified
Tune.
brendan schaub
I hate on it, but I'll tune in.
joe rogan
Yeah, I'll tune in.
It's, you know, but it's not really fighting.
bryan callen
So Jake Paul's not going to actually be trying to knock out Java Davis.
brendan schaub
The reason it says exhibitions.
joe rogan
If I had a guess.
Yeah.
The event itself would be a world-class venue and be presented to a global audience with new in-ring technology elements that will reshape how boxing is presented and scoring is achieved for years to come.
brendan schaub
What does that mean?
That shit has Abu Dhabi written all over it.
joe rogan
What does that mean?
This is Tyson versus Mayweather.
What does that mean?
Where are they doing that?
Are they doing that in Saudi Arabia?
brendan schaub
But of course.
joe rogan
But of course.
brendan schaub
Because they have all the money.
bryan callen
My friend.
brendan schaub
And they just go, what do you want to see?
I'd always like to see Floyd Tyson.
unidentified
Who wants to fight an alligator?
bryan callen
It is.
joe rogan
He's really good.
Dude, so much money.
They got that oil money, dog.
bryan callen
I'm really curious about Crawford Canelo.
Because they're actually kind of the same size, same height.
brendan schaub
They're not the same size.
bryan callen
It's different.
brendan schaub
They're not the same size.
bryan callen
They look pretty much the same size.
brendan schaub
No, but once it made a career fighting at much heavier weight.
It would be like a 135 or jump up to 170.
They're the same size.
bryan callen
Frame-wise.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but one guy made a career at 170.
But right now, they made a fight at 555.
bryan callen
Right now, they kind of are the same size.
brendan schaub
Well, right now.
But once a naturally gifted, bigger guy has competed at world-class level at that heavier weight.
So you can't say they're the same.
gordon ryan
And change your game when you go up that much.
joe rogan
Yeah, you're not going to be as fast.
bryan callen
He had to put on a lot of weight.
gordon ryan
And one made a career adaptation.
brendan schaub
The other one's just doing it for a money grab.
He hasn't fought in two years.
joe rogan
Well, he was doing it for legacy, and he is, he is like, he prepared for this.
It's not like he just went, had a fight at 147 and then jumped up to 68 three months later.
bryan callen
He's a big jump, though, isn't it?
joe rogan
He did a 68 out of training, put weight on, like real weight.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
We'll see.
I'm interested in that.
Just because I think Crawford's that good.
brendan schaub
I just don't think.
I think this is the problem with boxings.
They built these things up like Jake and Tyson and people think to me this great product or Crawford and Canelo.
And there's not much action.
joe rogan
Bro, I'll tell you who's this.
It's just no fucking deal.
Moses.
Moses Atama.
Do you know who that motherfucker is?
bryan callen
The giant 20-year-old heavyweight.
unidentified
Oh, yes, yes.
joe rogan
Did you see what he did to Dillian White?
Yes, he's a problem.
brendan schaub
He's a bro.
joe rogan
He's a problem.
That guy's a problem.
Is he only 20?
20 years old.
He's just slightly older than Tyson was when he won the title, so he can't be the youngest guy to ever win the title.
This motherfucker is so fast.
He moves like a middleweight.
Here's, I talked about watch this guy.
bryan callen
That's that Samoan, Samoan, or whatever it is.
joe rogan
Bro, look at the fucking skill.
It's the skill, the movement back in the future.
bryan callen
Dylan White's no joke either.
Dylan White's no joke.
Look at this shit.
joe rogan
It'd be honest if you said his name right.
It's Dillian.
It's all right.
Bro, he tuned this guy up.
One round, man.
I mean, again, White is past his promise.
bryan callen
He's also gotten beat up.
White's gotten.
joe rogan
Yeah, sure.
Tyson Fury beat him up.
A lot of guys are not going to be able to do that.
brendan schaub
But this is the test you want for this young contender.
joe rogan
It's the way he did it.
He did it like, I'm a world champion.
brendan schaub
Mopped the floor with a lot of people.
bryan callen
Didn't Deontay Wilder start him as well?
joe rogan
Oh, I don't know if they fought.
I don't know if Deontay fought Dillian Royal.
brendan schaub
They're trying to do Deontay Wilder Francis.
They're talking shit to each other.
Take my fucking money.
joe rogan
Yeah, take that.
brendan schaub
See, that's on exhibition.
The MMA boxing, take my, that, take my fucking money.
bryan callen
But Crawford, somebody's not an exhibition, Bubba.
joe rogan
Hootie didn't get snocked out in that one.
At this stage of the game.
bryan callen
I don't got him.
brendan schaub
You know what the problem with Wilder is?
He did all that ayahuasca.
He's too friendly.
Whenever someone does too much ayahuasca, I'm like, oh, he's losing.
joe rogan
Or any ayahuasca.
If you want to be a fighter.
gordon ryan
He did the interview, a one-time enemy.
He's like, I just, I lost it.
I lost it.
joe rogan
Ayahuasca took his darkness.
That happens to a lot of guys.
bryan callen
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah, they come back and they're just like too sweet.
Some of my buddies are too sweet.
bryan callen
My buddy just came back from doing a 10-day ayahuasca retreat.
He's made billions of dollars.
And he goes, I go, how was it?
He goes, it was intense.
And I go, oh, that's cool.
And he goes, I just have a deeper appreciation for my friends.
brendan schaub
Fuck you.
Did you say that?
bryan callen
It was great.
He goes, I thought about you.
I was like, oh, boy, this is getting offward.
brendan schaub
I was rocking hard.
joe rogan
He'll say, hey, give me some money.
bryan callen
I know.
unidentified
It's still hot.
bryan callen
I'm loving it.
Pay my mortgage.
Before the sports are halfway high.
joe rogan
Cut me a check.
brendan schaub
Did you tell Rogan that time you did ayahuasca?
bryan callen
Nah, it was mushrooms.
I don't want to get into that.
joe rogan
What did you do?
bryan callen
No, no.
It got real bad.
Tell him.
brendan schaub
He literally did the God dose or whatever.
He didn't mean to, did you?
bryan callen
I did three grams and I was in Mother Earth's Vagina.
And then I did four more grams because I was invited to take more medicine.
And the son sucked me into his mouth and spit me out into one of the upper rings.
No, no, no.
brendan schaub
Don't tell them what you're doing in real life.
Don't tell me what the words you're saying.
bryan callen
So I'm going to just say this.
Apparently, I was, because I thought I was in hell.
Apparently, for four hours, I was asking for a manager.
I was asking to speak to a manager.
Yeah, because I needed to get out of there because I was like, I need to speak to the manager.
I don't believe I'm a good person.
I just tripped into a portal.
I need to get home.
brendan schaub
But the hell wrote him the real.
He was curled in a ball.
bryan callen
I don't want to get profusely.
My buddy goes, you were in a fetal position farting so loud and screaming and screaming this word.
brendan schaub
We can't listen.
bryan callen
Screaming a lot of different words that you're not allowed to say in the top.
unidentified
Dude, when he told me, I was like, what the fuck?
joe rogan
That's how they're illegal.
bryan callen
Dude, I don't remember anything.
I don't remember anything.
brendan schaub
You tried to get me to do it.
I'm like, get the fuck out of here.
joe rogan
You know, slightly less.
bryan callen
Yeah, you know what I learned?
Don't do mushrooms anymore.
When I did.
joe rogan
Well, just don't do seven grams when you're troubled.
bryan callen
You made me eat a whole chocolate bar on this podcast.
joe rogan
You had to.
bryan callen
You see that?
And you look at me in the video.
I'm like, this.
joe rogan
It had to be done.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
But that's like three.
Three is a reasonable.
You get to around five and things get very strange.
Then you start meeting aliens.
brendan schaub
Joe, now that you stopped alcohol?
Yeah.
Are you smoking more weed?
joe rogan
Allegedly.
brendan schaub
She's how it goes.
joe rogan
Allegedly.
bryan callen
I thought you stopped smoking weed.
joe rogan
I don't know why.
Maybe.
They got to make that shit legal.
I got to talk to the big guy.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Donald, you want to make some friends?
brendan schaub
Techs.
joe rogan
This is how you go.
This is how it goes.
You want to make some real friends?
They won't know what to do.
Dude, he's.
See what he's doing right now in Chicago?
This is one of the funniest things ever.
They are now saying they're going to look into taking gun rights away from transgender people.
So what happens now is liberals have to defend gun rights.
unidentified
I love it.
bryan callen
I know.
joe rogan
This is like the ultimate trap.
This is like the ultimate trap.
It's like, do they fall into it?
the guy sweating with the two buttons first of all he says things that he doesn't mean Like, it's wild when a president says, we're looking into taking away Rosie O'Donnell citizenship.
You can't do that.
gordon ryan
I saw a meme yesterday.
He was like, imagine Rosie O'Donnell moves to Ireland to escape Trump and then McGregor just becomes the leader of the business.
unidentified
Oh, he's literally.
joe rogan
He's very well, Mike.
He really might win.
brendan schaub
I saw some video he posted like campaigning for it.
It's at like 50 million views.
joe rogan
Apparently, he has like 60% in the poll.
bryan callen
Wait, who's this?
joe rogan
Connor McGregor being the president of Ireland.
brendan schaub
You know what that motherfucker?
It's basically Arnold Schwarzenegger, but for us.
For the UFC.
You know, movie star.
Yeah, two-time world champion.
Now if he becomes president, actor.
bryan callen
That's nice.
brendan schaub
Actor.
That's what I'm saying.
bryan callen
Well, there's a real movement in England and in Ireland because of this sort of like unchecked immigration.
gordon ryan
Well, dude, Elon's gone off the fucking chain, too.
bryan callen
Yeah.
gordon ryan
Elon's making posts like, you guys got to fight back.
bryan callen
Oh, yeah, man.
Because people are getting arrested in England just for posting stuff on social media about it.
joe rogan
Bro, they are arresting thousands of people in England.
brendan schaub
Did they say 1400 a day?
joe rogan
The guy who was on my podcast, he left my podcast, went back to England, and they arrested him.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
Oh, wow.
bryan callen
I just had Tommy Robinson online.
You know who Tommy Robinson is?
So he got arrested for the same thing for a documentary, and I just had him on it.
joe rogan
He got arrested for a documentary?
bryan callen
Yes, dude.
He did 18 months.
unidentified
What?
bryan callen
He just got out.
He just did the podcast.
joe rogan
What was the documentary about?
bryan callen
It was basically about his hometown, which he grew up to.
It started out with one mosque, and now there are 49 in his hometown of Lutton.
I think it's called Lutton.
And basically just talking about the grooming gangs and stuff.
joe rogan
It is crazy what they're doing.
It's just immigration.
gordon ryan
The hiking ban in Canada.
joe rogan
Yeah.
gordon ryan
What is it?
joe rogan
For climate.
gordon ryan
You can't go for climate change.
You're not allowed to go.
bryan callen
Are you kidding me?
gordon ryan
I watched a video yesterday.
joe rogan
They find you $28,000.
gordon ryan
Veteran of a veteran takes a video, like, hey, I'm with the guys here.
I'm not on camera because we're not allowed to record them.
But they said that if I walk into the woods here, I'm going to get a $28,000 fine.
bryan callen
Are you fucking shit?
gordon ryan
So he takes a video of him.
He walks three feet into the woods, walks out, and then there's a video of him at the desk saying it's a $28,000.
Oh, it's like a $25,000 fine plus like $3,000 in taxes and victim fees.
bryan callen
Canada's so full of Canada's such a mess.
joe rogan
Well, they are what we can be if we're not careful.
If you have the wrong people running the country, Omar, if all these tights, I mean, if it got to a point where some of these people, if you took away the natural born citizenship thing, like if you could be a president and never born in America, we'd be fucked.
brendan schaub
Super fucked.
joe rogan
We'd be fucked.
Because we're already fucked when they become mayors and when they become governor.
If that starts happening, you're just going to import people from all over the world and they're going to take whatever their country is and make that state it.
bryan callen
Let me ask you this.
Is it true that when you have so if you have a bunch of illegal immigrants in your town, your census numbers go up?
Yes.
joe rogan
Congressional seats.
So the way it works is the census only counts how many human beings.
It doesn't count how many illegal immigrants.
It doesn't.
No, it doesn't care.
It doesn't matter.
So that's why they were moving people in with buses.
So that's why they moved all these people to swing states.
So you're basically rigging these areas.
And then they were trying to offer a pathway to citizenship and allow those people to vote, which would have completely rigged all the swing states.
Wow.
Yeah.
I mean, Elon talked about it pretty extensively and documented it.
It's a real thing.
And people push back about it.
It's a dangerous conspiracy theory.
But it's not because the census counts people.
And the more people you have, the more congressional seats you get.
If they just eliminated that, the Democrats would be cooked.
I don't know if that's even legal, though.
I think constitutionally it's basically the way it's set up.
It's supposed to be the amount of people.
It's not supposed to be the amount of legal citizens, which it should be.
Congressional seats.
I mean, come on, it's crazy.
bryan callen
I think it should be citizens.
joe rogan
Especially when you're just opening up the border and you allowed 20 million people to come in over a period of four years.
gordon ryan
That is a massive percentage of the population of the United States.
joe rogan
It's nuts.
gordon ryan
Like 20 million people.
I was like, it's such a huge percentage of the original population.
bryan callen
Tommy Robinson told me 43%.
I don't know if this is true, but I think it's something like 43% of the immigrants that come into the UK and I think in Europe in general are on the dole, but especially in the UK.
So they're on the dole.
They're literally on welfare.
And the main problem is that a lot of these people from certain countries don't assimilate.
No, because they are, you know, Islamic first and then, you know, and essentially the whole idea is to get a caliphate, create a caliphate in the UK, which is insane.
joe rogan
Well, they're doing it.
That's what's really insane is that they're doing it.
But the thing is, like, who's allowing this to happen?
And what's the end of the world?
gordon ryan
Did you see the new latest just got elected in the UK for like for like border patrol and it's just like her Arabic or Farsi or whatever it is written behind her?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, she wants Sharia law.
It's completely bananas.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
Yeah.
bryan callen
This is the problem.
It's like, well, you want to assimilate, great.
It doesn't matter where you're from, what your religion, who cares?
But if you want to start overthrowing the very country that you're emigrating into, the problem is if you say something against then, oh, you're racist.
joe rogan
I've had a conversation with Constantine Jason Vachin.
bryan callen
I'm not racist.
I grew up in the Arab world.
Fuck, I'm the farthest thing from...
joe rogan
I love...
bryan callen
I grew up with the Arabs and Muslims, so you can't call me that, That's what you're doing, my cousin.
joe rogan
I'm not racist.
bryan callen
Yeah, everybody, every race.
Here's the difference, though.
Can I just say this?
The biggest thing that the left does is this.
You say there's a problem, which is a legit problem.
You say, you know, London's now a minority country.
There are these young Muslim men, for example, who are not assimilating and are becoming militant and fundamentalist.
Okay, you say something like that.
What then a leftist will say is they'll go, instead of like debating that issue, which is a problem, you're just stating a problem.
Okay.
They will say, oh, you're Islamophobic, you're xenophobic, and you're racist.
So they diagnose you.
They kind of, I'm stealing this from Nick Frites, by the way.
So shout out to Nick Frites, but that's what they'll do.
They'll diagnose the person and their personality and their character, not they'll step outside of the debate.
unidentified
Yeah.
bryan callen
So you can't have a conversation with people like that.
joe rogan
No, which is not.
gordon ryan
But that's why it's scary, though, is because there's no talking point.
There's no common ground that you can discuss it.
You can't agree on anything.
unidentified
Right.
gordon ryan
So it's like if I'm over here and you're over here and we both can't meet somewhere in the middle, men can't get pregnant.
bryan callen
Exactly.
gordon ryan
At some point, you just have to fight.
Right.
bryan callen
Because I'm going to stop it and call you a transphobe and turn my back.
gordon ryan
You've got a divorce or you have to fight.
joe rogan
But don't you think that this is on purpose?
I think it's to keep each other at each other's throats.
It's to keep us in chaos so that they can implement more control.
And it's working.
gordon ryan
Yeah.
bryan callen
Well, is it?
Or are we starting to get wise to the fact that we're all being game?
joe rogan
It's a battle.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's a battle.
brendan schaub
Are there massive people?
But it's working.
joe rogan
Well, it's working on a lot of people.
There's a lot of people that are just falling right in.
They're falling right in line.
And, you know, and if you tell them that they're homophobic or xenophobic or transphobic, they'll do whatever the fuck they can to avoid that label.
And so then they fall right into your trap.
bryan callen
Although Trump did get elected, and it seems like that argument by the left is starting to lose a lot of its stealth.
joe rogan
Yeah, but he only got elected by half the country.
The other half the country didn't want him.
brendan schaub
That's a lot of people.
joe rogan
It's a lot of people.
So it worked on a lot of people.
They were in the process of implementing a plan.
And that plan, if it worked, would have made this country a one-party state.
bryan callen
But disliking Trump and disliking those policies are two different things, right?
So there are people that are conservative who don't like Trump.
There are people that are moderate Democrats or Republicans who don't like Trump.
My question is, you would know this better.
How much of this stuff online is real?
unidentified
Bots.
bryan callen
Bots.
How much?
joe rogan
A huge percentage.
unidentified
Really?
gordon ryan
Still.
And it's like the opposite of real life.
joe rogan
An FBI analyst said as many as 80% of the people that are posting on Twitter are bots.
unidentified
What?
brendan schaub
Posting what, though?
joe rogan
Just political shit?
All kinds of stuff.
Climate, politics, race, gender.
China just got busted using ChatGPT to run a host of different accounts, a bunch of different accounts that were all posting about USAID being shut down.
They were posting about LBGTQ plus TA, whatever the fuck issue.
brendan schaub
Just to divide us more.
bryan callen
Just to divide us more.
So Brian Shaw told me that he posted a picture of him and Jordan Peterson.
He always gets a lot of, you know, he's the strong man.
And he said that he was getting all this like immediately, just all these comments that were like, how could you do this and stuff like that?
Then he'd go to the profile and be like, this doesn't feel like it's real.
joe rogan
No, not a real person.
bryan callen
It's not a real person.
joe rogan
There's a giant percentage on Instagram, a giant percentage on Facebook and on Twitter that are not real.
And it's legal and you can do it.
And I bet we do it too.
I bet corporations do it.
I bet human, you can crowdfund, by the way, on purpose.
Like say if Brian Cowan, if you like, you hated Brendan Chaub, it shouldn't be the fighter and the kid.
It should be the kid and the kid.
Just me.
Everybody agrees.
You could literally go to a company and have them attack Brendan Chaub and you would pay for it and they would use their bugs.
brendan schaub
It's been done before on me.
joe rogan
Yeah, I'm sure.
Well, it could be done on anyone.
That's the point.
It's like any, whatever your goal is.
Say, let's get rid of all red lights.
No more traffic lights.
You could do that.
You could have whatever the fuck you want, have a bunch of fake people protesting.
brendan schaub
Just a waste of fucking time.
gordon ryan
You know what you can't do?
joe rogan
But it's not really.
It's not really.
I guess it's effective with dumb people.
unidentified
Yeah.
gordon ryan
Especially if you have a country doing it.
Like China can do it to us, but we can't do it to them.
joe rogan
Right.
We can't get into their system.
gordon ryan
They have whatever they want.
The people know.
joe rogan
Oh, well, we're a colleague.
gordon ryan
They run their own propaganda and they run it against us.
joe rogan
That might be the least of our problems.
We let them buy land around military bases.
brendan schaub
They own a shit ton of land.
bryan callen
My friend had his company attacked that way.
gordon ryan
I mean, the biggest issue with China is definitely AI.
joe rogan
Yeah.
gordon ryan
The AI is like the next benefit.
brendan schaub
But those two dudes you had on here with AI, they're saying we're actually still a step ahead of them.
joe rogan
I don't know if they know.
Did I summarize that?
Yeah, they said that at the time, but I don't know if they know.
Because here's the thing.
They steal all the data from OpenAI.
They steal data from, like, Grok just got infiltrated by this guy who stole their shit allegedly and then sold it to OpenAI.
And OpenAI got infiltrated allegedly by China.
Like these, you've got all these Chinese nationals that are over here working.
Yeah, that's how most of the AIDS are.
gordon ryan
They're in the airlines.
And technicians.
bryan callen
They're Chinese nationals.
brendan schaub
Because remember, when we had Tulsi Gabriel.
gordon ryan
This was like the biggest problem America is facing, for sure.
brendan schaub
100%.
Because when we had Tulsi Gabbard on the podcast, right, I was like, yeah, Russian, when I say Russian hackers, I kept talking about Russian hackers.
And she's like, hey, off the air.
She's like, just so you know, we're better at hacking than they are.
We have better hackers.
So this whole thing keep talking about with Russians.
unidentified
I don't know.
brendan schaub
I kept saying Russians.
She's like, America actually has way better people to hack all that.
bryan callen
But it's an arms race.
It's an AI race.
joe rogan
Yeah.
The thing is, they're all together.
It's the government with the corporations in China.
They're all in lockstep.
They're not like in battle with their corporations.
bryan callen
Corporations do what the government says.
joe rogan
Exactly.
They tried that over here with Facebook.
Like when Facebook, when the FBI clamped down on them, told them to get rid of the Hunter Biden laptop story.
brendan schaub
And they did it.
joe rogan
Well, they didn't at Facebook.
They kind of limited the reach, but Twitter, they completely blocked it.
But the other thing that they did was they told them to get rid of factual information about COVID.
Factual information.
The government was contacting Zion.
bryan callen
Why do you think that is?
joe rogan
Because they didn't want vaccine hesitancy because they wanted to make more money.
brendan schaub
Got to get it more.
bryan callen
Was it money or was it?
Did they believe that that vaccine was saving lives?
joe rogan
Money.
unidentified
For sure.
Money.
gordon ryan
For sure.
bryan callen
Really?
joe rogan
Look at you.
You're so cute.
They just want to save lives.
brendan schaub
He's still one of those guys.
No, Brian's still one of those guys.
joe rogan
Brian's still one of those guys.
gordon ryan
There's not a goddamn thing the government cares about him, dude.
bryan callen
I really am.
joe rogan
It's not a goddamn thing the government does for you.
Like for you to make your life better.
Everything they do is to either get elected, raise more money, campaign, like more, more money, like raising money for causes.
brendan schaub
It's their own issue.
gordon ryan
But you see, in the UK now, they're like, we're going to deal.
We have a solution to deal with mass immigration.
We're going to the digital IDs.
So it's like they created an issue.
unidentified
Yep.
gordon ryan
And then they're going to give you a solution to give them more.
unidentified
That's why my thing is how much fucking money do you need?
bryan callen
But what you just said, what you just said about the government, whether it's true or not, that's a very important thing to keep in to believe.
joe rogan
I have representative Luna on the podcast.
You know what she said to me?
We were talking about certain issues.
She goes, they don't want to resolve those issues because they could fundraise against them.
bryan callen
Of course.
joe rogan
So they literally don't reach resolutions.
brendan schaub
But my question, Joe, is how much money do they need?
joe rogan
They always need new money every week.
brendan schaub
But my thing is like Pelosi.
How much money does that big, heavy bitch have?
She has the biggest.
gordon ryan
It's like a half a billion, half a billion.
bryan callen
And she just checked.
joe rogan
$400 million.
Yeah.
bryan callen
Well, that was her husband.
I mean, he's always been an investor.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
But he's denying that.
The way he's doing is insider trade.
bryan callen
Right.
It doesn't mean it's not.
It doesn't mean it's all in the up and up, obviously.
brendan schaub
But I'm just saying how long does she need to go?
joe rogan
She's 82 years.
bryan callen
The answer to that is that government will continue to grow like a leviathan.
And it does, what does it do?
gordon ryan
Well, that's why they want two parties here.
They want no common talking ground between the two parties, so we just keep fighting.
bryan callen
Well, that might be good.
You want government to fight each other, right?
You want this divide and conquer thing so government moves at a glacial pace.
That would be the idea.
gordon ryan
Yeah, but right.
But government is the issue.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Remember when Elon was trying to start the American American wing?
Remember that?
He was like not Democrat.
bryan callen
Yeah, third party is never really, it's hard.
joe rogan
First of all, I don't think you're allowed to name it.
I think we looked into that.
You're not allowed to name your party the America Party.
Because you can't call it America.
Because then if you go against it, you're going against America.
bryan callen
That's fair.
That's like the Patriot.
unidentified
The genius of the Patriot Act was like understand what Elon's going to do.
gordon ryan
I don't know how that's going to work in effect.
Like if he starts another party.
joe rogan
Oh, there we go.
brendan schaub
It's back.
bryan callen
Here we go.
brendan schaub
You'll see he's leaving ESPN, ESPN said, once you get staff on his tit right there.
bryan callen
Has he got staph on his TV?
brendan schaub
Looks like a bruise.
gordon ryan
He's got something.
brendan schaub
But it's a big toe to the titty.
gordon ryan
It doesn't look like staff.
unidentified
No.
gordon ryan
Staff is usually raised.
It just looks kind of red.
It doesn't really look raised from here, but I can't tell.
joe rogan
The worst one ever was Kevin Lee.
Remember when Kevin Lee went to the welt.
gordon ryan
He had like makeup on it.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Was that when he fought Tony?
Was it that fight?
joe rogan
That could be anything.
That doesn't look raised, though.
brendan schaub
Dude, how about Tony got a win the other night?
bryan callen
I heard that staff doesn't come from the mat, it comes from the person you're rolling with.
Is this?
joe rogan
What's up, Jamie?
Oh, that is staff.
brendan schaub
That's staff issue.
joe rogan
Oh, that's 100% staff.
bryan callen
That's not.
brendan schaub
See the little white head up top?
bryan callen
I'm surprised you let him fight.
gordon ryan
But if you're in antibiotics, I think it's 24 or 36 hours.
You're not contagious anymore.
brendan schaub
It's just going to drain your fucking cardio.
gordon ryan
Damn.
joe rogan
How effective is topical solutions on something like that?
So you have to take systemic antibiotics.
gordon ryan
I actually just had staff like a month ago.
joe rogan
Of course you did.
You've had it a thousand times.
unidentified
Yes.
gordon ryan
And I was like, and I actually, I actually use fucking Grok to help me cure it without antibiotics.
Really?
So I had it on my back, and I put the topical clindamycin pad, and there's like liquid clindamycin that you can like just rub on there.
And then there's a pad.
So I doused a pad and clindamycin and I taped the clindamycin pad to my back.
And then I broke one of those heating pads and I taped the heating pads to my back because staff, once you start getting above body temperature, it doesn't replicate.
Yeah, like it, I think it dies like 140 or 150 degrees somewhere around there.
bryan callen
Wow.
joe rogan
So get a sauna.
gordon ryan
But yeah, the problem is that you have to, that's sustained over time.
Like you can't sit in 150 degree sauna for 24 hours.
unidentified
Right, right.
gordon ryan
So I kept the heating pad on there and I would just change it like five, six times a day, change the pad, and it went away in like two weeks.
Took a little bit longer, but I didn't have to take any oral.
bryan callen
How's your stomach?
gordon ryan
And I'm like, wow, I wish I knew this 10 years ago before I ruined my fucking life.
Fuck.
bryan callen
How's my stomach?
It is still?
gordon ryan
I haven't been able to do like a hard session since like early 2024.
unidentified
Damn.
gordon ryan
I just start dry heaving every time my heart rate goes up.
bryan callen
Fuck.
gordon ryan
So I'm just like a skinny fat guy now.
joe rogan
That's so nuts.
brendan schaub
Jesus Christ, dude.
joe rogan
Have you tried fasting?
Have you ever tried that?
gordon ryan
I've been forced fasted.
Like I just haven't been able to eat for two weeks.
joe rogan
You haven't eaten anything in two weeks or just a little bit?
gordon ryan
Like just nothing.
I just wasn't able to eat.
brendan schaub
Like just could only drink water.
unidentified
Yeah.
gordon ryan
I was like before I fought Roberto Jim and I was actually had to go to the hospital because I couldn't drink water or eat for two weeks.
And I was like in the hospital like three days before you couldn't drink water.
No, just like too nauseous to get anything to keep anything.
joe rogan
That is so nuts.
gordon ryan
I just like went to the hospital, got an IZ, and then like flew to go.
I can beat.
joe rogan
All right.
Here we go.
What do we got here?
Sola and McKee.
gordon ryan
You got to get at least one of them a nickname now.
I feel like we're.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
That guy.
So McKee is the guy with the tattoos.
unidentified
Yep.
brendan schaub
Sola's going to be a big fan favorite because he's a champion in a lower league out there.
joe rogan
Oh, is he?
unidentified
Yep.
brendan schaub
They put a bunch of those cats on him.
joe rogan
So Paris didn't, or France didn't even have MMA until really fairly recently, right?
Like 10 years ago?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Because when Francis was over there, he couldn't steal MMA.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
You couldn't.
And then finally they got PFL did events in Africa.
joe rogan
And he didn't show up.
brendan schaub
Because he said they didn't use any regional guys.
joe rogan
That's why he wouldn't show up?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Really?
brendan schaub
Yeah, he's like, no, you didn't use any of my fucking guys.
joe rogan
Wow.
brendan schaub
I think there's a chance.
Oh, I think there's a chance Francis comes back to the UFC now.
joe rogan
I don't think there is.
brendan schaub
Why do you say that?
joe rogan
I don't think Dana wants that.
brendan schaub
All right, well, you do.
joe rogan
Dana had a bad experience with him.
unidentified
I heard him.
joe rogan
Didn't enjoy working with him.
brendan schaub
But do you not think there's a chance some of the other shot callers there go, dude?
We can get him back.
Him versus John.
joe rogan
Him versus John.
brendan schaub
At the White House?
unidentified
Yeah.
gordon ryan
You think Uncle Espinol?
Yeah, John on the White House card.
brendan schaub
I think John does the White House.
Dana goes, they go, what's the chance?
He goes, one in billion.
joe rogan
Did he really say that?
brendan schaub
He was one in a billion.
gordon ryan
I saw that.
brendan schaub
John responded with a great answer.
gordon ryan
He did.
joe rogan
You're saying there's a chance.
brendan schaub
You're saying there's a chance.
He goes, I'm a one in billion guy.
Don't take their chances.
gordon ryan
That's exactly what I thought when I saw it.
And I was like, I was like, oh, since there's a chance there.
unidentified
There's a chance.
Yeah, 100%.
bryan callen
This guy's getting caught.
joe rogan
Good news is John's most recent case has been dropped, which is excellent.
Yep.
bryan callen
He wasn't even there, apparently.
I don't know.
I only go with what my phone says.
unidentified
All right.
joe rogan
Oh, I think I'm all.
bryan callen
I'm always with my phone.
joe rogan
Listen, I think there should be a place.
I think there should be a place in this country that has no law.
One city.
Just one city with no law.
bryan callen
Just go to Mexico.
brendan schaub
We're Kirk.
joe rogan
Just maybe it's Albuquerque.
Go to Mexico.
one place with no law.
Just like, or maybe like a little gray area in between the stairs.
gordon ryan
What about the purge?
Just 24 hours where there's a lot of people.
joe rogan
Just one place where you could just get buck wild.
bryan callen
Well, you can go down to Tijuana, dude.
You can just live like Taiwan.
brendan schaub
Go to Mexico.
bryan callen
I mean, but Ed Calderon, I was listening to that podcast.
unidentified
Fuck.
joe rogan
That's a crazy podcast.
bryan callen
That dude has seen it all.
I can't imagine what he's actually seen.
joe rogan
37 assassinations in the last Mexican elections.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but they all dabble.
But all those politicians, they dabble with the cartel.
So it's not like they're not.
joe rogan
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
They're not dabbling.
They are all cartel members.
brendan schaub
That's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm saying.
gordon ryan
Do you see what happened in Germany?
Yeah, they're all involved.
Seven of the right-wing cabinets had just been, had just died.
bryan callen
Yeah, then I looked into it and they were like, there's no foul play here.
I'm like, but that's seven.
That's a lot.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
No foul play.
brendan schaub
But my thing when you had Ed on, A, I'm never going to Mexico again, but B, I mean, fucking never.
bryan callen
Terrifying.
brendan schaub
Never.
But B, too.
I sent my wife that because she wants to take the kids to Mexico because she's from there.
It's never fucking happening.
And so I sent her that podcast.
But when he was like, yeah, Trump's, you know, they have the drones like kind of following the cartel and all that to get information on.
Like, he's going to, they're going to do something.
They're send people in there.
But when he was saying the cartels, like, in the government, in the police units, they're everywhere.
It's like, okay, so you're going to take out the henchmen.
That does nothing.
bryan callen
Well, Calderon said.
brendan schaub
So my summarization of that podcast was like, oh, well, Mexico's fucked.
There's nothing you can do.
You're never going to get rid of it.
It's too ingrained in the community.
bryan callen
Bukeley, look what Bukele did.
unidentified
He treated him.
gordon ryan
It's like ingrained here.
You can go to Afghanistan.
We're so far separated that it's not really like the cartel can come up here and fuck with us.
brendan schaub
Correct.
bryan callen
Well, Calderon said the only way to deal with it is treat it like it's an insurgency.
And when they had that conservative guy in charge, they actually did a lot to cripple the cartels.
But unless you treat it like an actual civil war, where you got to treat it like this is a real insurgency.
joe rogan
They have so much money.
They buy so many politicians.
They buy so many people.
It's so difficult to beat them at this point because we let it get so far.
Mexico let it get so bad that when you have 37 people get assassinated in one election, it's so hard.
brendan schaub
But how's that not on if CNN wants to break some news?
How's that not on the tracker at all?
joe rogan
Yeah, you have to hear it from me.
bryan callen
You have to hear it on this.
Did you hear this influencer, this TikTok influencer killed her, her husband, and her seven-year-old and 13-year-old wrapped him in plastic and put them in a truck?
Did you hear about this?
unidentified
No.
bryan callen
This is a week ago.
gordon ryan
But see, that's what I'm saying.
unidentified
In Mexico, the husband was doing something with it.
bryan callen
Yeah, and the two guys that the cops brought in were witnesses to it.
They got kidnapped.
unidentified
Jesus.
bryan callen
Right out of the prosecutor.
brendan schaub
But didn't Ed say like 91% of murders go unsolved?
bryan callen
Yes.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Everything's just a cold case.
bryan callen
I don't know, dude.
I think anything.
brendan schaub
If you're the 9% that gets busted, you can walk there.
joe rogan
You can just walk there.
You can walk right into chaos.
You can walk there.
From here, you can get there in a day.
bryan callen
But if you're a tourist, a lot of times they'll leave you alone, right?
joe rogan
Five-hour drive.
brendan schaub
Dude, when I was living in California, I had my Ford Lightning, and there's a shop down there that makes carbon fiber parts for Lightnings.
I was like, I'll just go pick it up.
I drove down there, and the guy working the custom goes, what are you doing?
What are you doing?
What do you mean, man?
I'm here to pick up some guard parts.
He goes, listen, we knew you were coming because you posted.
You're coming down here.
We knew you were coming.
And we're good.
And we're fans.
unidentified
We're good.
brendan schaub
We're good guys.
But if we know you're coming, the bad guys know you're coming.
He's like, don't come back here, man.
I'm like, really?
He's like, don't come back.
He's like, you're in a loud orange Ford Lightning and you're posting you're coming down here.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Don't do that.
brendan schaub
Worth it.
Was it?
I mean, it's cool.
Yeah.
Because carbon fiber fenders are tough to find.
bryan callen
Who would run for mayor?
joe rogan
Look at that.
From 2018 to mid-2024, 1,709 murders, attacks, and threats were recorded against politicians and officials.
That is crazy.
brendan schaub
Who's going to run for the police 37?
joe rogan
At least that's it.
Some people just disappear.
bryan callen
You have an insurgent thing.
brendan schaub
You'd think at 27 the guy'd be like, fuck this, dude.
bryan callen
Well, Calderon said the people are getting so sick of it.
I think ultimately there becomes this.
brendan schaub
What are they going to do, Bea?
unidentified
Revolt.
bryan callen
The population arms itself.
brendan schaub
Yeah, that's it.
And do what?
joe rogan
Get shot.
gordon ryan
They're so organized, though.
joe rogan
Yeah, they're literally like military.
bryan callen
They have military weaponry.
And they have night vision.
They have armies.
brendan schaub
I mean, this one said, what are you going to do?
bryan callen
I don't know.
brendan schaub
A revolt and do what?
bryan callen
Get murdered?
I think you're going to see more of what that happened, that Venezuelan boat that just got taken out in the middle of the water.
joe rogan
I was seeing people saying that that wasn't a cartel thing, and that what Donald Trump has committed is a war crime.
He blew up people from Venezuela for no reason.
You don't think they know that this fucking boat filled with taped up satchels?
bryan callen
Yeah.
And Maduro, I can't believe that the Justice Department said Maduro, we have a reward for his arrest.
joe rogan
$50 million.
Oh, that's $50 million on the president's head.
bryan callen
That's setting something up.
They're setting something up.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
There must be some gold in them, Dar Hills.
bryan callen
Yeah, I got a feeling we got some badasses kind of already down there.
joe rogan
Well, probably.
There's probably also some.
brendan schaub
I mean, between Mexico and Canada, it's just a shit show.
joe rogan
Yeah, but Canada is like so much safer.
bryan callen
Yes.
Canada, you have your job.
You have your reputation destroyed.
In Mexico, they kill your whole family.
It's kind of a different situation.
joe rogan
In Canada, one of 20 people in Canada is assisted suicide.
bryan callen
What?
joe rogan
Yeah, one in 20.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
Yeah, I'll send it to Jamie so he can post it.
It is so crazy.
bryan callen
In other news, did you see that Roy Jones Jr.?
unidentified
Yes.
bryan callen
Wasn't that good?
joe rogan
That was heartwarming.
bryan callen
It was so amazing.
brendan schaub
Why they gave him his gold medal?
bryan callen
Yeah, this Korean guy who got beat.
I love that.
joe rogan
It was heartwarming.
It was really good.
bryan callen
I got emotional over it.
joe rogan
Yeah, because there it is.
Assisted dying now accounts for one in 20 Canada deaths.
bryan callen
That's how depressed they are.
joe rogan
Well, they're doing it for people that are depressed.
They're doing it for people.
Oh, you hurt your knee.
Jesus Christ.
gordon ryan
I'm not allowed to hike anymore.
joe rogan
Okay, they killed 15,300 people last year.
bryan callen
What a shit show.
What a shit show.
joe rogan
It was legalized in 2016, but it showed around 15,300 and 300 people underwent assisted dying last year.
brendan schaub
Median age is 77, though.
joe rogan
After being successful in their applications.
The median age is 77.
I kind of get that.
gordon ryan
So you can just do it for any reason.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Small minority of other cases, patients may not have been terminally ill, but sought an assisted death due to long and complicated illness that had significantly impacted their quality of life.
Well, it really makes you think, like, what percentage of people are just suffering where life just fucking blows?
Probably quite a bit.
brendan schaub
And are they doing it in those tanks?
They're doing those like weird spaceship things.
unidentified
I don't know.
brendan schaub
Have you seen those?
They look pretty nice.
joe rogan
They do it in Oregon.
You could get assisted suicide in Oregon.
brendan schaub
But how are they putting him down?
Do we know?
joe rogan
I don't know.
gordon ryan
Is it IV or is it gas?
brendan schaub
Because there's a place in Sweden.
I watched a documentary on.
He kind of just jumped in this little like alien ship looking thing and just came over.
bryan callen
Cooked you.
brendan schaub
He had his last meal with his wife.
I was like, all right, see you on the other side.
bryan callen
And just you and I were talking about suicide one time, and I was like, I can't understand how anybody would do it.
And a guy who I would come to my shows periodically and he'd give me like, he made knives and stuff.
And he emailed me and he goes, just so you know, I'll give you an idea of what it's like when you contemplate suicide.
I was like, okay.
And he goes, have you ever been in a Hasana and you can't stand another second?
You got to get out because it's just too hot.
Think of being that with no doors all the time.
joe rogan
For your whole life.
unidentified
Yeah.
bryan callen
And I was like, holy fuck.
brendan schaub
And did he do it or no?
bryan callen
He tried twice, I guess.
Now he's better.
joe rogan
Well, think about the kind of pain that Bisping must have been in because of his neck.
You know?
brendan schaub
But Bisbing's a guy, but he didn't even consider it.
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
No.
brendan schaub
There's a difference.
joe rogan
No, he's probably trying to line up a fight.
brendan schaub
Think about Gordon.
joe rogan
Think of the shit he deals with.
bryan callen
Still winning.
brendan schaub
You know what I'm saying?
gordon ryan
Being seasick 24-7?
joe rogan
I can't understand how no one can figure out how to fix what's wrong.
gordon ryan
Well, I mean, the issue is that they know what the issue are, what the issues is, and they're just like, we're going to try to reset your gut biome.
And I'm like, sweet.
What's like the agreed upon baseline homeostasis for like what your gut biome is supposed to be?
They're like, we don't know.
It's different for every person.
joe rogan
Just eat nothing but kimchi for a year and see what's happening.
gordon ryan
I could do that, yeah.
bryan callen
Yeah.
gordon ryan
Or I could just kill myself.
bryan callen
Don't do that.
Gut biome.
Yeah.
That's like a fief gunoon, and he's got that clinic.
joe rogan
Because everybody always wondered, like, what happens if you take antibiotics too much?
There you go.
Now we know.
Yeah.
bryan callen
Remember my psoriasis?
You remember seeing how covered I was?
And then Andy Galpin and Dan Garner gave me a bad thing.
joe rogan
Why are you laughing?
You're such a piece of shit.
bryan callen
I never appreciate it.
But I can't.
joe rogan
I chased him.
bryan callen
I laughed.
I laughed.
joe rogan
Look at his face.
gordon ryan
It's like when, who is it?
Bobby Labor?
It's like, I was brutally molested.
Oh, yeah, I just started fucking crying.
joe rogan
Died by a Down syndrome guy.
bryan callen
He starts laughing.
joe rogan
That's such a brutality.
bryan callen
No, because Bobby goes, all right, I'm going to say this again.
gordon ryan
If you guys laugh, everything.
And he goes, he goes officiously.
bryan callen
When I was just avoiding him, he was brutally molested.
I'm like, you don't say brutally, dude.
joe rogan
Think about Bobby.
It's like, Bobby might have been making that story up.
He was.
bryan callen
He's so funny.
unidentified
He knew I was laughing because every time it got worse and worse and worse.
bryan callen
Bobby's one of the funniest people ever.
brendan schaub
He's funny as fuck.
joe rogan
He's one of the funniest people ever.
Very funny.
bryan callen
I miss him.
brendan schaub
So is Santino, man.
joe rogan
Will Bobby not talk to you anymore?
bryan callen
We tax it.
But I miss him.
brendan schaub
He texts like three years ago.
bryan callen
No, nobody.
brendan schaub
You don't text like on a regular basis.
bryan callen
No, I said we made up, though.
Yeah.
He had said, he told somebody to say hi to me.
And then I said, hey, you know, I heard, and I said, he goes, how are you?
I go, I'm good and eternally sorry.
And he goes, we're good.
joe rogan
Well, that's cool.
brendan schaub
Is he at the mothership?
joe rogan
That's a good fight.
Lopez, Diego Lopez, that's next weekend.
brendan schaub
Does Bobby come to the mothership much?
joe rogan
He's been there.
Yeah.
I mean, he comes when he's in town.
I tried to get him to move here.
unidentified
I'm never moving to Austin.
joe rogan
But when he was here, he met some nice ladies.
brendan schaub
Tim Dylan's take on Austin's hilarious.
joe rogan
It's funny.
brendan schaub
It's so funny.
He's like, there's like two good restaurants.
I've been to him multiple times.
bryan callen
There's no live music scene.
Six buskers on heroin.
joe rogan
He's here all the time.
He was here last week.
He's going to be here again this week.
bryan callen
Yeah, he's the best.
joe rogan
He owns two houses here.
He's just nuts.
He's very funny.
brendan schaub
He's just being silly.
bryan callen
He's so funny.
brendan schaub
And then they write articles on it.
joe rogan
What's really funny is that it became like a whole thing, like the movements leaving Austin.
The shine has worn off.
brendan schaub
It quoted me, Shane Gillis, and Tim Dylan saying how much we hated Austin.
I just said I miss the baseball dads in L.A. That's all I said, man.
joe rogan
That's hilarious.
brendan schaub
I love it here.
joe rogan
I used to miss the comedy store until I opened the mothership.
That was all I missed.
I love everything else about Austin.
I have no problem, sir.
bryan callen
I'd like them to clean up some of that homeless shit, though.
Compared to L.A. That's pretty bad on 6th.
joe rogan
First of all, what are you doing on 6th other than go to the club and get out of the club?
unidentified
I do.
brendan schaub
Yeah, don't know.
bryan callen
I've got a shot.
I'm showing you the dead rabbit sometimes.
That's the problem, right?
joe rogan
That shelter's right there, which is so nuts.
You get some people that are homeless.
bryan callen
Right.
joe rogan
Trying to get clean.
And where do you put their shelter?
A block away from the biggest party fucking street in all of Texas.
bryan callen
I know.
joe rogan
It's so dumb.
brendan schaub
I'll be honest.
I haven't seen because I'm not, I haven't been down to six at all.
I haven't seen a single homeless person.
joe rogan
Well, they're very centrally located.
Yeah, it's all sixth street.
brendan schaub
I'm like a weird bubble.
It's like Pleasantville.
It's just, there's no danger, and I don't like it.
bryan callen
Look at this, look at this, look at this.
This is a matter of time.
joe rogan
That's it.
Herb Dean, seen enough.
gordon ryan
Yeah, that guy was just, he was just like this can't even be real, but it might be.
Did you see they just opened a $65 million transgender homeless shelter in New York?
joe rogan
What does that mean?
bryan callen
How many fantastic people are doing?
joe rogan
How many gunless people are transgender?
gordon ryan
I saw it.
We could factor it.
brendan schaub
There's three people in there.
joe rogan
Well, Mom Donnie is saying that he wants to set it up where people can go there and get snipped for free.
brendan schaub
He's going to win, huh?
joe rogan
Hopefully.
bryan callen
Yeah.
unidentified
To watch New York try to experiment with a socialist again.
gordon ryan
I heard an interesting take yesterday where apparently a lot of the rather than a lot of the super rich people in New York actually want them to win.
So they're like, yeah, go ahead.
We're not going to be affected.
You guys fucking see how it goes.
joe rogan
New York City opens first taxpayer-funded transgender homeless cells in New York.
Wow.
Progressive political theater.
That is adorable.
bryan callen
There you go.
joe rogan
150 beds for trans and gender non-conforming individuals, nowhere to sleep.
brendan schaub
Those are expensive beds.
bryan callen
Wow.
joe rogan
That is really wild.
brendan schaub
Nations.
joe rogan
What is gender non-conforming?
Do you get to choose if you're gender non-conforming?
What if I just decide I'm gender non-conforming?
I think all I have to do is just say it.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
If I just say, I'm gender non-conforming.
Okay.
bryan callen
Well, that's what's new about the transgender movement.
It's rooted in what?
A feeling.
It's not rooted.
So you can be a minority and a minority on the same level or even bigger than a black man.
Ask Dave Chabelle because you feel like one.
brendan schaub
You know what's weird, though?
Your daughters are older.
Have your kids actually, like when that transgender shooter, just the, was that last week?
The mass shooter?
joe rogan
Seven of them in a row.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I'm saying this last one is all over the news.
We have the news on when my kids ask me about it.
Because kids kind of have a better understanding.
I mean, it's very black and white.
Where they're like, wait, dad, he's a, or she's a girl.
I go, no, that's a guy.
bryan callen
Right.
brendan schaub
He's like, but she thought she was a girl.
I'm like, she felt like it, but she's a man.
He's like, oh, that makes sense.
joe rogan
There's no lines are in the manifesto.
This guy said that he regrets going trans and he doesn't want to chop his hair off, even though he hates his hair.
He doesn't want to chop it off because he'd be like giving in to all the people that said he wasn't really a woman in the first place, but he regrets ever doing it in the first place.
bryan callen
Here's my take on it.
It's not about transgender people being more violent.
It has nothing to do with that.
There are people that are completely out of their minds.
And one of the manifestations of that is to decide that you're a different gender.
joe rogan
Gender district.
bryan callen
So what happens is, but now when you stigmatize that, when you say you're not even allowed to talk to somebody, but maybe they might be a little confused because that's considered conversion therapy.
What happens is you're now lumping those two things in.
joe rogan
Wait, what do you mean?
So in other words, no one is not allowed to talk to someone about being confused about their gender.
brendan schaub
You're saying you don't have to tell your parents.
bryan callen
No.
So there are, there was in California, there was legislation presented and a number of states were said when a child says, I feel like a girl, but I'm a boy, and a psychiatrist tries to treat that as an abnormality or a mental illness or a confusion.
Oh, you're saying you can't question that.
joe rogan
You can lose your license.
bryan callen
Yes, you can lose your license.
Why?
Because Miriam Grossman, I had her on, she wrote Trans Nation, I think.
And that can be considered malpractice, and you can get sued and lose your.
Yeah.
joe rogan
So then the real problem is the psychiatric drugs because they're all.
bryan callen
There you go.
And what I'm saying is that if you might have a kid who's profoundly disturbed in a number of ways, one of the manifestations of that is saying, I'm now a girl or whatever it is.
That should be a signal, maybe, many times that your kid is not well.
And let's take a look at what the fuck is going on.
joe rogan
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
brendan schaub
But if you say that, then you're anti-trans.
bryan callen
Of course, that's what I, what that goes back to what I'm saying.
brendan schaub
And how many mass shooters have we had?
Clearly, there's a fucking issue, man.
bryan callen
Right.
brendan schaub
There's an issue.
unidentified
Right.
brendan schaub
Doesn't mean all trans people are bad, but these mass shooters, we got to figure it out.
Can't keep going down this road.
bryan callen
I'm getting in touch with my feminists.
joe rogan
I'd say we just keep going down this road.
bryan callen
We don't have a choice.
joe rogan
As long as we disarm them all.
This is what they're going to do.
unidentified
I can't wait to disarm them.
bryan callen
I can't wait to see the left defend gun.
joe rogan
I can't wait.
Yeah.
I'm going to open up a transgender gun club in Austin.
unidentified
Hilariously.
joe rogan
Well, fuck it.
Let's go.
The left will never oppose me.
If I just, like, I say, well, I'm going to open up a gun club only for transgender and non-binary conforming people, whatever.
bryan callen
That's good.
joe rogan
Gender non-conforming.
bryan callen
Have you tried to have any of the really far-left professors on your podcast?
No.
joe rogan
I've had them in the past.
bryan callen
Have you?
joe rogan
Yeah.
bryan callen
How's that going?
joe rogan
Not so good.
bryan callen
No.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thaddeus Russell, I had a very long and stupid conversation with him about the difference between men and women.
There's no difference.
And I'm like, so if you get a boy puppy, if you get a puppy and it's a boy puppy and you wanted a girl puppy, and they say, well, there's no difference.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Like, this is the dumbest conversation ever.
bryan callen
But at least Thaddeus is the guy who'll have the debate.
Most of the left won't even talk about it.
joe rogan
Yeah, but it's not a good one.
gordon ryan
He's just talking circles.
joe rogan
It's nonsense.
It's nonsense.
bryan callen
You talk in circles.
joe rogan
Like, I thought we were on the same page.
I was like, no.
Way off.
You're saying nonsense.
brendan schaub
Does he have kids?
joe rogan
I don't think he does.
I'm not sure.
I shouldn't say that.
I have no idea.
But the bottom line is biology is really simple.
Double X, X, Y. Sometimes there's a mistake.
Sometimes there's an error and you get X X Y. Sometimes you get hermaphrodites and there's that is a real thing.
bryan callen
There's over.
joe rogan
But it's super fucking rare.
unidentified
Yes.
joe rogan
What this is is a social contagion.
And Abigail Schreier wrote a fantastic book about it called Irreversible Damage that she highlights how they're happening in these clusters of a lot of girls who are autistic.
Yes.
And let's get to the bottom.
bryan callen
It's like anorexia.
joe rogan
What's causing all that?
How come one in every 12 kids who's a boy in California has autism now?
Because that's what's going on.
That's what's going on in California, which has one of the strictest fucking vaccine policies.
One in 12.
Did I say vaccines cause autism?
Maybe I will have a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a drink.
brendan schaub
Our RFK is getting to that, yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah.
brendan schaub
Now Florida doesn't demand vaccines.
bryan callen
That's dangerous to me.
brendan schaub
I knew you'd jump on that drink.
joe rogan
Of course it's dangerous, Brian.
What are you talking about?
bryan callen
Tetanax.
Tetanus, no, no, no, no.
brendan schaub
Just go down the road right now.
joe rogan
We need to bail on the tetanus thing because Suzanne Humphries.
Suzanne Humphries explained tetanus.
bryan callen
She's not a vaccinologist.
I know that woman.
What are you talking about?
So you're saying that.
joe rogan
She's a medical doctor that absolutely understands tetanus.
She said tetanus, all you have to do is keep the wound open and clean it.
unidentified
Oh, that's it.
joe rogan
You don't bullshit.
It's not bullshit.
Do you know how many people die of tetanus every year?
Very few.
gordon ryan
What about tetanus?
bryan callen
Okay, so let me ask you a question, Mr. Joe Rogan, Mr. Scientist.
Are you saying that we shouldn't?
joe rogan
Don't do that.
Don't call me Mr. Scientists.
I'll start mocking you and it's so much easier to do.
bryan callen
So you don't believe in vaccines?
You don't think we should have vaccines?
joe rogan
It's not that I don't believe in vaccines.
I don't think you should give a kid a HEP B vaccine when they're a baby.
bryan callen
It's a different subject.
joe rogan
No, you have to.
MMA vaccine is absolutely connected to a host of serious, debilitating fucking problems that kids have gotten from them.
There's a lot of problems because they don't test vaccines in a double-blind placebo-controlled setting.
They test them against other vaccines.
You know that, right?
bryan callen
Yes, I do.
Excuse me.
Let me just say something.
Yes, you're right.
You can make the argument for Hep B. Here's why.
Because the chances of a child coming in contact with the kind of activity that causes Hep B is different.
Specially transmitted disease and so now you say this, you say this.
That chance is zero.
The chance for vaccine injury with the Hep V B is not zero.
It's non-zero.
Okay, so I understand that math.
Okay.
What I'm trying to say to you is that there are certain diseases.
Pick up a history book.
Smallpox, diphtheria, mumps.
Have you ever looked at paralytic diseases?
joe rogan
Have you ever polio?
Please stop.
bryan callen
No, I won't.
I won't.
I know you think it's just a bad thing.
Brian, Brian, Brian, Brian, Brian, Brian Humphreys.
joe rogan
This is a long conversation that we're not going to have on this podcast because I'm going to get angry because I've researched this for years.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
Let's just.
bryan callen
But you're not a scientist.
joe rogan
I don't have to be a scientist to know this.
Yes, you do.
Brian, shut the fuck up.
I don't have to be a scientist to read research to understand that they were spraying DDT all over the fucking country when everybody was getting polio.
Do you know that?
You know their first essence is a polio?
They happened in rural communities where they're all farmland and agriculture, and then cows were getting them and horses were getting them and dogs were getting them.
bryan callen
Let me make a statement.
joe rogan
They were calling it paralytic polio.
bryan callen
Do you agree with the following statement?
It's not just.
joe rogan
I'm not going to do this with you.
bryan callen
But it's not just about Joe.
joe rogan
No, Brian, I don't want to do this with you.
bryan callen
But it's not just about...
joe rogan
We're in the middle of a fight campaign.
It's annoying.
bryan callen
All right, but it's like.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
bryan callen
But vaccines.
joe rogan
No, it's anti-vaxxer.
brendan schaub
It's anti-vax.
Questioning why there's so many.
joe rogan
My kids are all vaccinated.
And they're vaccinated, but they went on a delayed schedule.
They delayed schedule.
bryan callen
So did mine.
joe rogan
So did mine.
Yeah, good for you.
I don't think you need to.
brendan schaub
No, they're healthy as fuck.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Between the two of them, they have 12 touchdowns this week.
Two home runs.
joe rogan
I think the problem is that the pharmaceutical drug companies have an exemption because of what they did in the 1980s with Reagan, where they allowed them to never worry about being sued.
And that's when they ramped up the fucking schedule.
And that's also the correlation.
When you look at all the fucking host of all sorts of diseases and issues, you're looking at it.
brendan schaub
Just look at autism.
joe rogan
It's through autism is just one.
There's a lot of other autoimmune issues.
There's a lot of like serious problems.
bryan callen
I think there are three things that have pushed us beyond our biology and the reason we don't have a lot of children dying.
Nutrition, sanitation, and vaccines.
And I think anybody who says otherwise is, you know, I think it's crazy.
unidentified
But you can't say all vaccines, B. I didn't say all vaccines.
bryan callen
Because he's not saying very worried when people are saying that.
brendan schaub
But he's not saying all vaccines.
bryan callen
It sounds like he is.
joe rogan
Brian, you don't know what the fuck I'm saying.
You don't.
bryan callen
Well, I know because you don't want to talk about it.
joe rogan
Brian, I don't want to talk about it in the middle of a podcast because it'll completely derail the podcast.
And I'll start showing you statistics.
If you look at when people stopped getting all of these diseases and then when the introduction of vaccines happened, it's at the end after the diseases had already gone through the population.
Most of those diseases were eradicated by sanitation and nutrition.
There was a huge problem in this country.
People were living in fucking squalor.
bryan callen
I agree.
But there's still pathogens that are very dangerous.
Sure, there are.
joe rogan
The problem is that these pharmaceutical drug companies are fucking insanely, entirely corrupt.
They have been corrupt for a long fucking time.
And there's a revolving door between the FDA and these pharmaceutical drug corporations.
They go from the FDA into these positions.
They have this golden parachute.
And then they ramp up the fucking schedule every year.
And it's not about public health.
None of it is about looking out for you.
All of it is about making money.
That's the problem.
brendan schaub
Who wants to do some smelling salts?
joe rogan
Okai's good.
brendan schaub
Who wants to do some smelling salt?
joe rogan
Chuck one over here, Jamie.
We got some.
bryan callen
Where's Okai from?
joe rogan
From your mother's pussy.
bryan callen
Hey, that's out of mine.
Hey, that fucking burn is too far.
Joe and I always have these arguments, Gordon.
unidentified
Yes.
joe rogan
This one's weak.
brendan schaub
Is it?
joe rogan
Yeah, it's a little old.
It's a little old.
bryan callen
Get you going, though.
gordon ryan
What are they like?
unidentified
We got seven of them over here.
brendan schaub
God, get you some, Brian.
gordon ryan
Get that big.
brendan schaub
Fucking dick no.
gordon ryan
Besides to watch your friend suffer.
What are the actual?
joe rogan
I don't know.
Let's find out.
Pop one of those, see if it cures your tummy.
brendan schaub
It wakes you up, though.
joe rogan
It might help your stomach.
gordon ryan
Or it could make me nauseous.
unidentified
We'll see.
joe rogan
Yeah, if you fucking projectile bombers on the Buddha.
bryan callen
That's great.
Don't do it, Gordon.
You might throw up.
brendan schaub
That's good for you.
joe rogan
This one's basically dead.
gordon ryan
What is it actually supposed to do, though?
joe rogan
It just jolts your system.
gordon ryan
And like, this guy's got a crazy.
He's got like 15 of them laying around every place I go.
Yeah, you go to the green room.
He's got like 30 bottles and everything.
bryan callen
I gave everybody a decent visa.
What you gave me?
And I was like, I want more of that shit.
Once I do it once, I want to keep doing it.
gordon ryan
Is it supposed to wake you up?
brendan schaub
Yeah, it'll wake you up.
Guys will do it before they lift super heavy.
Go for it.
I know that.
bryan callen
I'm even spicy right now.
brendan schaub
Just a party.
Hey, just to get away from the vaccines before he's broken.
Dude, I brought it up.
gordon ryan
I feel bad.
I was hoping right after right after he sniffed it, Brian was going to bring vaccines back up.
bryan callen
Dude, Joe and I'm off.
brendan schaub
Don't join him on it.
bryan callen
Joe and I used to have arguments about acting class.
We'd get in shouting fights.
joe rogan
He used to tell me that vitamins weren't necessary.
Vitamins aren't necessary.
bryan callen
I talked to him.
joe rogan
I talked to the voice.
Vitamins don't work.
gordon ryan
They don't do anything.
joe rogan
This is me and him at a fucking restaurant in Seattle.
I mean, please shut the fuck up.
bryan callen
Yeah, but then I started taking vitamins and I called him up and I go, dude, I feel great.
He goes, fucking, I know.
joe rogan
I wish you could go back in time and not take vaccines.
Why am I so healthy?
I never got psoriasis.
bryan callen
This is crazy.
Shut up.
joe rogan
Turns out I had autism the whole time.
brendan schaub
Dude, we've been in Austin for how many months now?
I've been trying to give him a ways to whale for how long?
unidentified
Finally, I got my levels tested.
bryan callen
My test, the best.
So I just got my levels test with Brigham.
It was awesome.
And I got stem cells.
joe rogan
Nice.
bryan callen
So check this out.
I'd worked out at Archetype.
joe rogan
Is this Marvin Vittori's brother?
bryan callen
Is it?
brendan schaub
They look very similar.
bryan callen
I worked out.
I meant to call you about this.
So I work out and I kind of forgot I had to go.
So I probably shouldn't have worked out.
Didn't sleep much, but my test is the lowest it's ever been, which is 785.
Not bad for me.
joe rogan
That's very good.
bryan callen
Not bad, right?
joe rogan
That's very good.
bryan callen
Now, my free, though, is low.
It's like 45.
And she said it should be 151.
But then I did a bunch of research on chat GPT with PubMed, and I looked at it, I talked to a couple of the doctors, and they said, if your test is that high, because I have a lot of energy, they go, just be careful because you got to test it again.
So she, at Waste Well, they go, we don't want to put you on anything yet because we want to test because your magnesium is a little low and your DHEA or whatever it is.
So they're going to put me on that because my test is really high.
brendan schaub
Yeah, just take TRT and get it.
joe rogan
No, no, no, no.
He's right.
Magnesium is huge.
And I have low magnesium.
That's huge.
bryan callen
Yeah, yeah.
And I talked about Mike Isratel, who gave me that.
He told me, I said, if I wanted to get huge, give me the steroids.
brendan schaub
It's not possible.
bryan callen
And he goes, you don't mind if your liver becomes styrofoam?
I go, just fucking hit me with it.
He gave me the stack.
joe rogan
I saw that.
bryan callen
Oh, dude, it's great.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's a freak.
bryan callen
He's amazing.
brendan schaub
What was he talking about?
Dekka and all that?
bryan callen
He's got his PhD.
brendan schaub
He's telling you to take Decka and everything.
joe rogan
Well, and also, he's on everything.
bryan callen
Oh, yeah.
Have you had him on?
He's hilarious.
Oh, I love that guy.
joe rogan
Here we go.
brendan schaub
Shit, I think they're coming events next.
joe rogan
Okie and Jones.
Is the Kome next?
Yep.
unidentified
Nice.
brendan schaub
Nice.
joe rogan
That's the one I'm looking for.
brendan schaub
Me too.
joe rogan
Rufi and Benoit.
bryan callen
If you had the gun in your head, who do you have?
Imavov or Bahalo.
joe rogan
Imavo.
This is Bojalio's toughest fight, I think, in the UFC.
brendan schaub
Imavad has a better strength of schedule, too.
I usually go by that.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's definitely faced a tougher competition.
He's coming off of a KO of one of the all-time greats.
brendan schaub
I don't think either one gets a fight.
joe rogan
Oh, he just fucking popped on.
bryan callen
Oh, oh, damn.
brendan schaub
Oh, please end fast.
unidentified
I don't think it fight.
joe rogan
Oh, he's getting dinged, dude.
He's getting dinged.
bryan callen
Tough, though.
There you go.
joe rogan
Well, he's moving.
He's definitely moving, but he keeps getting popped on a chin.
brendan schaub
I don't think the winner of Imavov in this fight, Hamzat.
bryan callen
No.
brendan schaub
I think the winner of Fluffy in RDR fight.
Because I think that's more like you end in a finish.
joe rogan
It ain't getting a fucking chin.
I'll tell you that.
Because this dude gets cracked.
And Oki can crap.
bryan callen
Yikes.
joe rogan
And he's throwing haymakers at him.
bryan callen
Yeah.
I think.
brendan schaub
Looking like a young Kevin Randall man.
bryan callen
Bahalo's defense is really good striking-wise.
joe rogan
Well, he's really good all around.
That team, that fighting nerds team is so good.
So passionate.
They're so good.
They're so good.
bryan callen
Where are they out of?
joe rogan
Brazil.
Brazil.
Yeah, that's Jean Silva.
That's Carlos Pratez, Mauricio Ruffi, Borgalio.
Now, Mikhail Olek Sajuk, he's over there with them now.
bryan callen
Wow.
joe rogan
Came over from Poland.
He's like, fuck it, let's go.
bryan callen
I feel like those Poles and stuff, those Russians, have such good fundamentals and defense.
joe rogan
They have good bones.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like when Jan Bohovich used to fucking go shin to shin with people.
Yeah, Magamanov was just fucking limping all over the place.
Like, what the fuck are you doing?
Just going shin to shin with a crack.
He's such a dense dude.
bryan callen
My shins are like fucking touch him.
You flick him.
unidentified
Vaccines.
joe rogan
It's all those rest.
bryan callen
I got bird bones.
I would have been a great fighter if I didn't have bird bones.
brendan schaub
See, I'd like to see DDP at light heavy.
joe rogan
Really?
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
I think you'd fuck some dudes up.
joe rogan
Don't you think they would out-wrestle him there?
The problem with that guy is now after what Hamzat did to him, everyone's going to out-wrestle him.
brendan schaub
The words out.
If you get him the right matchups, then if he got the ankle.
joe rogan
The thing is, though, most guys are not at Hamzat's level.
gordon ryan
Most people aren't as good at keeping at riding.
unidentified
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
bryan callen
Oh, my God.
joe rogan
It's turned around.
Look at this.
bryan callen
Oh, my God.
joe rogan
No, he doesn't have it under.
brendan schaub
He's laying down.
I'll tell you what, too.
bryan callen
Look at this.
joe rogan
This guy's got tired.
I mean, you got to think how much energy he blew.
gordon ryan
Pretty good at riding chest to chest, and he's much better than pretty much everyone at riding chest to back.
brendan schaub
Dude, I went to Hamzat's camp, and I didn't want to be biased.
I called Joe when I left.
I went, dude, I've never seen anyone look like that.
And I was like, I've been out of the game a little bit.
Last person I saw that dominant in camp was John.
Dude, I'm talking national champion wrestlers, all-American wrestlers, world-class jujitsu guys.
He was fucking them up and was kind of going light, and then the coach yelled something and whatever chest in, and he just fucking mopped the floor with everybody.
Back to back to back.
bryan callen
Do you think that Bo Nickel has taken a little page from that whole game?
Which is, I'm going to just blast up you or grab.
brendan schaub
We're going to find out.
They just announced it.
joe rogan
Yeah, but what do you do with Vrenade?
gordon ryan
It's different, though.
joe rogan
Yeah, when he fought Reiner DeRitter, first of all, what do you do?
You're going to get him to the ground?
And then what happens?
You're going to get strangled.
Like, DeRitter is way better on Jiu-Jitsu.
Way better with Jiu-Jitsu.
And what if he reverses you and gets you on your back?
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, like, so he didn't want that.
Also, DeRitter is way too much.
bryan callen
So that's why he didn't.
joe rogan
DeRitter's 6'4, and he's a giant 185.
Giant.
Bo Nickel can fight.
unidentified
Oh!
bryan callen
Oh, my God.
brendan schaub
Gonna fight.
joe rogan
Oh, wow.
bryan callen
Oh, wow.
joe rogan
He let it go.
bryan callen
Damn.
joe rogan
These guys are exhausted.
This was a crazy first round.
bryan callen
Yeah, it was.
joe rogan
But now that this guy weathered to storm, what a fucking chin, Jones.
Dude, what a chin because this dude took some bombs.
brendan schaub
He's going to be gassed.
joe rogan
Is everybody going to move into a crucifix now, too, after that fucking DDP fight?
How many times did he get him in a crucifix?
brendan schaub
Man, last time you saw that was.
gordon ryan
I think it's like a full five minutes he had him control.
joe rogan
Bananas.
brendan schaub
But it wasn't doing too much damage there.
No.
I still think it's a mistake where people are like, oh, Hamzad style is boring.
It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, that's how he fought DDP.
These next guys, like, he's a finisher, man.
He's a fucking savage.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
Well, he wanted to win.
unidentified
Right?
gordon ryan
It's got to keep more.
brendan schaub
But also, to your point, Joe, he wanted to win.
It's also his first time.
And I know it's Hamzad and he's this big, there's all this hype.
Remember, it's his first chance at a title.
You're fighting DDP.
You don't want to risk it on your feet.
But he even went in the corner with Shruken was in his corner.
He goes, I want to stand.
And Shruken was absolutely not.
Keep doing what you're doing.
We have it in the bag.
He's like, keep doing what you're doing.
unidentified
I want the box.
gordon ryan
I want the key.
He also learned a valuable lesson because if you look at his fights in the past, the big question was cardio.
Will he fade in the fourth and fifth, whereas DDP just never, I don't think that got answered.
brendan schaub
Because if you did a UFC fight and you were just on top the whole time doing jiu-jitsu, I don't find out much about that because that's what you do.
gordon ryan
But he learned an important lesson from it: that if you can ride the guy and make him carry body weight for the full amount, the full time of the match, it doesn't matter how good the cardio is.
There's such a discrepancy in work rate that even if his even if his VO2 max is much higher than yours, he's going to get past entire significant time faster.
So he learned a tactical lesson where he just basically just recreated what Khabib does.
Like with Gilbert, he was just striking the whole time, and you saw he started to get also.
joe rogan
Gilbert has a guard.
gordon ryan
Yeah.
joe rogan
Gilbert has a very dangerous guard.
And I think that was part of the problem.
brendan schaub
And he was compromised at 170, I think.
He's so big.
How he got to 70?
I'm like, what?
joe rogan
Yeah, I think you're right.
Compromised at 170.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
That wake up.
unidentified
It was brutal.
bryan callen
He's a legit 6'2, isn't he?
joe rogan
He's big.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
And he's strong as shit, man.
Which is really crazy that he got himself to 170 and still maintained any strength.
bryan callen
That wrestling strength.
Christ.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I don't know who's going to beat him at 85.
joe rogan
Bro, Oki is Ty Erd.
He is tie.
brendan schaub
He's not allowed to get the finish.
joe rogan
Well, Chaoson famously said that once.
If you go for a finish and you do not get it, you won't win a decision.
It's not always.
It's not always.
bryan callen
It's interesting.
joe rogan
But it's a very astute quote.
bryan callen
Yeah, you'd use all your adrenaline.
unidentified
Ooh.
bryan callen
Getting tossed.
joe rogan
What did you think of Jail in his matches with the two?
I heard that was Buggy Chokes.
bryan callen
I heard that was a kind of exhibition, though.
gordon ryan
They look fake.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Looked at work.
gordon ryan
They looked.
It looked fake.
bryan callen
Yeah, I believe it was fake.
I think it would have happened anyway.
gordon ryan
Perhaps.
joe rogan
They tapped him once before in a real match.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
gordon ryan
They had a match at ACC.
brendan schaub
Chaol also took it on like a day notice.
So that's how that should go.
joe rogan
I'm sure he was in mid-camp anyway.
bryan callen
Gordon, have you ever rolled with any of those high-level Russian wrestlers or taggies?
gordon ryan
No.
I mean, there's some sambo guys.
Like we had a couple of smaller guys that used to train out of Ricardo, Ricardo Amelo's camp.
But like none of the big guys, no.
bryan callen
It was really, I was listening to you talk about the importance of watching, studying the minutia, like tape, like sitting there and watching, like almost the way a football player watches tape.
Nobody does that, no?
brendan schaub
They do.
gordon ryan
They do.
bryan callen
I'm saying with jiu-jitsu.
gordon ryan
They do, but most people just don't know what to look for.
joe rogan
Oh, nice spinning elbow.
gordon ryan
Yeah, you just break it down.
They look for the wrong things or just surface-level things most of the time.
brendan schaub
Like Sarukian and Hamzat would watch hours of tape.
bryan callen
Really?
brendan schaub
And they'd watch it with no commentary, and they'd watch hours and hours to pick up tendencies from the guy.
And if the guy only did it once, they'd watch like five of his fights.
If he only did a move once, it's on his replication.
bryan callen
So they're watching tape all the time.
brendan schaub
All pros are big.
Yeah.
At this level, you don't make it.
gordon ryan
But if you look at the wrestling that the Dagestani guys do in fighting, there's no real place to study that wrestling.
You have to create your own system because it's not jiu-jitsu.
It's not wrestling.
Like, if you look at freestyle wrestlers, freestyle wrestlers, historically in the UFC, don't hold anybody down.
Like, the takedowns are scored by the actual takedowns in freestyle wrestling.
bryan callen
Yeah, I always wondered why.
joe rogan
But that's a good point.
Not control.
gordon ryan
The takedown when you're fighting means nothing.
It's the control that actually scores.
Like, can you hold the guy down and actually keep him down and do damage?
brendan schaub
That's why the taggies are dominant.
bryan callen
Is that why Joel Romero never used his wrestling?
Because he was so bad.
brendan schaub
I think that was a cardio issue.
bryan callen
Really?
gordon ryan
But he's put guys down, but he wouldn't hold them down.
Yeah.
Like, like when Khabib and Hamzat put guys down.
joe rogan
Oh, Jones is fucking OK.
bryan callen
Keep them down.
gordon ryan
Or George put a guy down.
Like, he would keep them down.
bryan callen
Yep.
joe rogan
Okie's in real trouble.
gordon ryan
And George did a better job at punishing guys as they got up.
joe rogan
His elbows.
gordon ryan
Hamzat and Khabib did a better job of controlling.
Of controlling them, making them carry body weight.
joe rogan
Jones has some fucking cardio, man, because this is a crazy.
And they're in the middle of the second.
He's just smashing it.
brendan schaub
They're about to stop it.
They're about to stop it.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
He's going to go out.
He's going to go out.
brendan schaub
Co-main event, baby.
Coming hot.
bryan callen
Wow.
joe rogan
What a comeback.
unidentified
What'd you say?
bryan callen
Paul Craig's fighting for.
joe rogan
Oh, Paul Craig.
That's my favorite guy to watch when he's on his back.
bryan callen
Yeah, he's good.
joe rogan
Because Paul Craig can pull some shit off.
He's one of the rare guys.
brendan schaub
I think he's lost six times last eight.
joe rogan
Yeah, he loses.
brendan schaub
But he just, the UFC just resigned him.
joe rogan
Oh, he's fighting Medusta Spokakis.
He's fun to watch.
I like him at Light Heavyweight, too.
When he got down the middleweight, I was like, boy, how hard is that?
You're so big.
bryan callen
Are there any Americans left?
joe rogan
There's no Americans.
There's no American championship, right?
brendan schaub
Kayla Harrison.
joe rogan
Oh, Kayla Harris.
brendan schaub
She's the only one.
joe rogan
Males.
No males.
bryan callen
I don't know.
Is she going to fight Nunez at 45?
brendan schaub
I'd delighted.
gordon ryan
She's at 35.
brendan schaub
At the White House.
bryan callen
35?
unidentified
35.
bryan callen
Make it 45 for her.
I mean, that's just painful.
joe rogan
She made 35 to win the title.
That's the champ.
She's the champ at 35.
brendan schaub
That fight's at the White House.
She was at the White House yesterday, I think.
bryan callen
How did she suck that?
joe rogan
It is kind of crazy that Amanda Nunes has been the 45-pound champion, and then they just abandoned the weight class.
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Because there's like three big bitches.
joe rogan
And she was running through them.
I saw Kayla.
bryan callen
Yeah, I saw Kayla at one of the UFCs and just like when she was probably 175.
I mean, it's obscene.
joe rogan
She looks like Glason T-Belt.
bryan callen
She's incredible.
She's just incredible.
She's like just incredible, like just a body like that.
I'm too light in the ass, but I appreciate it.
joe rogan
Yeah, would you like her to grab you and just throw your own shit?
bryan callen
Shut up, Joe.
brendan schaub
Country.
unidentified
If she only had a huge car, stuff in my mouth against my will.
If she only had a beard and piss in the car.
joe rogan
One of them beards, like Gordon Ryan-type special operator beards.
bryan callen
No, I think she's.
brendan schaub
Yeah, she's a pretty girl.
unidentified
And you're talking about the greatest judoka ever out of America.
bryan callen
And you want to get Ninjenjek when she's on.
I thought she was very hot.
You don't see her when she's all skinny and stuff.
I saw her at the UFC in a dress.
joe rogan
She looks a lot better now.
Jesus, yeah.
She's starving herself to make that weight her whole life.
bryan callen
She's a great, great fighter.
brendan schaub
But Kayla Harrison's, supposedly, that's the, she's going to fight in the White House card.
bryan callen
Valentina Shevchenko is, I find her very attractive.
brendan schaub
Cool.
unidentified
I'm going to share that with you guys.
joe rogan
You like how she got a gun tattooed on her hip?
unidentified
I do this favorite.
bryan callen
Yes, I do.
Yes, I do.
It's very interesting.
joe rogan
She's a real kind black woman.
bryan callen
You would take kinda out of that sentence.
joe rogan
She's a real-life black widow, like the lady from the Avengers.
bryan callen
Yeah, shoots guns.
joe rogan
Yeah, like really good, too.
She's a really good markswoman, I guess you would say.
brendan schaub
And she's fighting Weile.
bryan callen
Yeah, that's going to be.
joe rogan
That's interesting.
bryan callen
Very fun to watch.
joe rogan
Well, at this point in her career, it seems to me that she doesn't wade into the fire like she did when she was younger.
brendan schaub
She's smarter, yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, and she grapples heavy, too.
bryan callen
She's a very good grappler.
Very good grappler.
joe rogan
But Jean Wei Lee is a demon.
She's a demon.
brendan schaub
Chinese demon.
joe rogan
She comes out, and she could do everything.
brendan schaub
Artificially created.
bryan callen
She's got to deal with that wrestling, though.
That's the one thing.
Yes, Shevchenko's got that edge.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, it's going to be interesting.
It's going to be interesting to see if Jean Wei Lee is even stronger at 125 because I don't know how much weight she's cutting.
I don't know how hard that 115 cut is.
But when you're down that low, 10 pounds is a giant difference.
unidentified
Everything.
joe rogan
It's so big.
bryan callen
There's never been any movement on just making another weight class in the middle of that.
joe rogan
God, there should be.
There should be a weight class.
brendan schaub
It's not happening, fellas.
It should never happen.
bryan callen
Why?
joe rogan
There should be a weight class every 10 pounds for men.
Yeah.
No, boxing is a lot more.
brendan schaub
Boxing is a lot more.
joe rogan
They just need it where there's tweeners.
Like 85 to 205 is bananas.
20 pounds is crazy.
brendan schaub
Well, hold up.
Remember, I would fight at 230, 235.
Every guy I fought was 265.
joe rogan
Right.
brendan schaub
Think about from 206 to 265 is a weight class.
That's insane.
joe rogan
It is.
brendan schaub
Really, that should be a cruiser weight.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bryan callen
It should be a 225 weight class.
joe rogan
Remember when we were trying to figure out that name the other day for the weight class in boxing?
I think it's called Bridger Weight.
I think they're calling it Bridger Weight.
There's like a 220-something weight class.
bryan callen
Meanwhile, the gorilla over here couldn't make 225.
And he'll tell you he can, but he could.
joe rogan
Well, he could, but it would be hard.
brendan schaub
I couldn't.
joe rogan
It would be dehydration.
brendan schaub
I could, because I'm not doing tons of cardio now.
joe rogan
If Pereira can make 185, he can make it.
He's good.
unidentified
Big bones.
joe rogan
But the thing is, like, big, strong muscle guys actually can lose more weight.
That's why Yoel could do it because your muscles are mostly warm.
bryan callen
Oh, is that right?
joe rogan
That makes sense.
Yeah, Bridger weight.
That's it.
We couldn't remember what that was the other day.
brendan schaub
That's an awesome idea.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It's a good move.
I think that they should have legitimately a weight class every 10 pounds in MMA, and I don't think that's bad.
brendan schaub
You have a ton of death.
joe rogan
205, and you can get a little crazy there and go 205, 225.
And then I think for heavyweight, it should be unlimited.
It shouldn't be you have to make two slopes.
brendan schaub
I promise you get big sloppies.
joe rogan
So what?
Big sloppies get fucked up.
They don't have a problem with that in boxing.
gordon ryan
They already have big sloppies now.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Look at Moses Aitama, right?
Boxing doesn't have a problem like that, right?
That kid is only like 250 or something like that, or 240-something.
brendan schaub
I mean, the UFC has a prom at 265.
Like, there's no talent right now.
There's no big guys.
joe rogan
Right, but you don't have to be 265.
You could be 300.
You could be 205.
gordon ryan
You could literally be Brock Lesnar.
joe rogan
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
I mean, look at Brock Lesnar or Francis if he didn't cut weight.
Like Francis Cutsweight or Tim Sylvey in his prime when he was saucy.
brendan schaub
What is manufacturing big guys right now?
joe rogan
Francis.
Yeah, I think Francis at his highest.
It was probably around 300.
unidentified
What?
gordon ryan
I had dinner with him one night and he was 295.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
295.
bryan callen
Seriously?
All muscle.
And there's no fat on him.
gordon ryan
No.
I was sitting next to him and his fucking quad, like his leg, was like the size of my fucking torso.
bryan callen
Jesus Christ.
joe rogan
So he had to cut weight to get to 265.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
Imagine that.
brendan schaub
So did Carwin.
So did Lesnar.
unidentified
Yep.
brendan schaub
Some of those boys do that.
bryan callen
He's so horny right now.
joe rogan
I remember when I was training at Amal Easton's place in Boulder and Carwin walked in.
It didn't even look like a human being.
It looked like one of the Avengers.
It was like the thing.
brendan schaub
He looks like the thing.
bryan callen
First time I met Carwin, I look at him.
I go, fuck.
I go, I don't know what I'd do if I had to share a jail cell with you.
And he goes, I didn't even know him.
He goes, you'd suck my cock.
And then he picked me up.
I didn't even know he picked me up.
And he squeezed me.
And I started tapping.
He goes, that's 30%.
joe rogan
That dude had giant fists.
His fists were preposterous.
4X, 4X, right?
gordon ryan
Some 4 and 5X.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
Something big.
bryan callen
Yeah, he was 285.
brendan schaub
He had the biggest glove ever in UFC history.
bryan callen
He was your main sparring partner, right?
It was good for your head.
unidentified
That's all I had.
bryan callen
Just punching each other in the face.
brendan schaub
It was a great team.
We pushed each other.
joe rogan
Bro, how good is Lerome Murphy?
Fucking good.
brendan schaub
How about poor Aaron Pico?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Is that what they're going to do?
brendan schaub
They did it.
joe rogan
What do you mean?
bryan callen
Got knocked out.
brendan schaub
Lero Murphy fucking spinning elbow Aaron Pico.
unidentified
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
joe rogan
I thought you said Poirier and Pico.
brendan schaub
Sorry, I got speech impediment.
joe rogan
I thought you said that.
I was like, what?
The Poirier, what?
I was so confused.
I was like, Pico's going to 55, but he just got knocked down.
bryan callen
He looks so good.
Pico looks so good.
He looks so good, man.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's so slick.
brendan schaub
He's too aggressive.
bryan callen
You said it.
joe rogan
Pico's bad.
gordon ryan
Look at even Pico.
Pico took him down.
Yeah.
Amazing wrestler.
Yeah.
And couldn't hold him down.
bryan callen
Yeah.
That's right.
joe rogan
That's good point.
That's a good point.
Right?
If he had that daggy wrestling.
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
He could control him more.
But even the first 20 seconds, I looked at my wife.
I go, Pico's going to get knocked out.
She's like, what the fuck?
I'm like, he's way too aggressive.
You can get away being that aggressive at these lower levels.
Bellator, PFL, all that shit.
When you're fighting a world-class guy, dude, they're going to use that aggression against you and you're going to get fucked up.
joe rogan
He time that's going to be a lot more dangerous.
brendan schaub
You're not just going to get starched.
You're going to get so fucked up.
bryan callen
I thought it was a lucky shot.
And then I was like, oh, not at all.
unidentified
Of course he did.
bryan callen
Yeah, I don't know.
joe rogan
That's the vaccine he's talking.
brendan schaub
Yeah, that's the vaccine.
joe rogan
It's the vaccines.
There's a few guys.
bryan callen
Oh, look at that fucking.
What is that choke?
Is that an Anaconda?
brendan schaub
Oh, I didn't see the start of it.
joe rogan
Look how he gets over him and starts barking.
bryan callen
He's in that fight nerd camp, right?
joe rogan
Yes, yes.
He's one of the best.
That's a good fight.
That's a really good fight.
Him and Lopez.
brendan schaub
It's in San Antonio, isn't it?
joe rogan
Next Saturday.
brendan schaub
You're supposed to be in Mexico.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bryan callen
Yeah, Lopez got a fight.
Who did he lose to?
The last fight?
Who was it?
joe rogan
Volkanovsky.
bryan callen
Yeah.
The champs.
Guy, Volkanovsky.
So fucking good.
To come back, by the way, at that weight class, too.
joe rogan
At his age.
brendan schaub
They should go Murphy versus Volkanovsky.
bryan callen
I talked to him.
gordon ryan
Rob Font is doing his camp with us.
joe rogan
There's the choke, if you want to analyze it, Gordon.
gordon ryan
It looks like a figure four guillotine, but Bryce tried to turn out of it.
Jeez, I think it started when he was chest to back.
unidentified
Remember, that was Bryce's discipline fight because he praised Hitler.
gordon ryan
It's a figure four guillotine, and he tried to turn out, but he didn't.
bryan callen
Oh, he couldn't.
brendan schaub
You're not getting out of it.
bryan callen
Yikes.
Yeah, I talked to O'Malley about, like, I said, what is it about Murab, his chain wrestling and stuff?
And he was like, he's so, he's actually, he said, Sean said, he's fucking strong.
He's way stronger than you can imagine.
Like, he's just, you know, some of these guys are just made of metal.
joe rogan
That motherfucker worked so hard.
brendan schaub
Murab?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
It was so hard.
When DC went to visit him the day after he won the title off of Sean, he was running.
Wow.
The day after DC went to his home in Vegas and he goes, Murab's out running.
And DC made a video.
Can you believe this motherfucker?
brendan schaub
He's a freak.
joe rogan
He showed his gym.
bryan callen
The day after the fight.
joe rogan
The day after the fight.
So Sunday, he went to visit his friend who just won the title.
Murab is running.
bryan callen
Well, dude, when he was wrestling with the gold medalist Henry Cejudo, he was winking and saying shit to Mark Zuckerberg at Cage Side.
brendan schaub
He's like, oh, the final one.
joe rogan
He picked him up.
Picked him up like a dog.
bryan callen
Kissed his back.
joe rogan
Yeah, just threw him to the ground, laughed.
brendan schaub
Murab has the best weapon in UFC history.
bryan callen
Cardio?
brendan schaub
It's cardio.
bryan callen
He's also just so good.
brendan schaub
It's strange.
And what you got to like about him is he's super active.
Most champions aren't.
He wants to fight all the time.
bryan callen
That's a thousand pounds.
joe rogan
Well, he trains so hard and he trains constantly.
And, you know, when I talk to guys who train with him in the gym, they're like, can you just watch him hit pads is nuts.
Really?
He just does everything full blast, full blast all the time.
And so he's gotten acclimated to just this insane workload.
bryan callen
And he loves it.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Same work rate.
Also, he's from a part of the world where like George is tough.
unidentified
Yeah.
bryan callen
That's a tough one option.
Fight your way.
brendan schaub
DC was on Shay Shay show, Shannon Sharps.
And they're asking him, they're like, what is it about the Dagestanians?
And DC gave a great answer.
I love the interview.
He goes, it's not that they're better athletes or that they, any of that stuff.
They're not better athletes than we are.
It's just they have no other option.
So like, because Shannon goes, well, your son has all the resources.
Yeah.
But over there, they have nothing.
So my son has all the resources.
Yeah, he's like, they have to make it.
Where my son can fall back on his dad.
Over there, there's no fallback.
So they train their ass off.
They have to.
unidentified
Also, the hunger, the drive to succeed.
bryan callen
And in Russia, it's supported.
Those countries, like, you get a doctorate in boxing and shit.
Like, you know, you get a massive stipend.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
Khabib for winning the championship owns like half of Russia.
bryan callen
Yes, he does.
brendan schaub
That's the award.
joe rogan
Yeah, like try to get him to fight again, man.
brendan schaub
Like, he's like, what?
Why?
joe rogan
Why would I do that?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
I would have put myself through that.
Plus, he's got to weigh 200 pounds now.
bryan callen
Yeah.
He's very thick.
joe rogan
He's big.
brendan schaub
His boy, Islam's doing.
I think Islam only has like two or three left.
Max.
Maybe two left.
unidentified
Really?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
What makes you think that?
brendan schaub
In his interview, he's talked about it.
joe rogan
Really?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
bryan callen
Dude, John Fitch said when he would wrestle, and John Fitch is an insane wrestler, and John's probably 200 pounds walking around.
John said, in fact, he's 205 when I was talking to him.
And he said, when he would wrestle Khabib, if he could stand up once in practice with him, it was a good day.
unidentified
Jesus.
bryan callen
Like, that's John Fitch.
joe rogan
But is it very fascinating what you're saying, Gordon, that there is a giant difference between just regular freestyle wrestling and control-based MMA wrestling?
gordon ryan
Yeah, it's completely different.
The different rules, different sporting criteria.
Like the takedowns themselves score, and the higher amplitude the throw, the more points you score.
Whereas when you're fighting, especially at the heavier weights, you don't want to lift a guy fucking over your back multiple times.
You get tired.
And the more energy the throw, the higher amplitude, the less control you have when you land.
brendan schaub
Americans just need to adapt to that style.
Again, they don't have some secret.
It's just we need to adapt our style to it.
joe rogan
Yeah, but they adapted early on, and that's the secret.
bryan callen
There's so much to it, though.
There's so much to it.
gordon ryan
But if you look at the Dagestani guys, they are significantly better than the Americans and everyone at riding chest to chest and especially riding chest to back.
It's pretty easy to hold the guy down if you just stuff him in half guard and you ride chest to chest.
But when the guys start to turtle and they turn away, like Khabib, the only thing that ever fucked up Khabib was when guys Grambied on him.
Like a guy, I forget who he fought earlier in his career, Grambied a few times and actually got away, actually reversed.
Yeah.
And then, but, and then Hamzat actually follows Gramby's pretty well.
Like, DDP tried one Gramby, I think it was, and Hamzat followed through.
But their ability to ride chest to back and just keep hands on the floor the whole time.
So the entire weight, the entire, like for 22 minutes, DDP was carrying Hamza's entire body weight.
brendan schaub
It's also their wrist control.
So they take away their foundations.
gordon ryan
Yeah.
joe rogan
One of the most anxiety-filled moments I ever had calling a fight was when he got Michael Johnson and when Khabib got Michael Johnson in a Kimora and Michael wasn't tapping.
I'm like, please tap.
Please tap.
Please tap because it was like full on.
And he came out.
If he wanted to, he could have snapped his shit.
bryan callen
Was that when he was talking to him?
Saying, come on.
Yeah.
joe rogan
He said, you know, I deserve this.
You know I deserve title shot.
You know, I deserve it.
brendan schaub
Come on, tap.
joe rogan
Tap now.
bryan callen
That would have been like, you know, you're right.
gordon ryan
I mean, what was actually interesting in the Hamda fight was, and no one talked about this, was he actually ended up in bottom position at the end of the fight.
brendan schaub
Yes.
gordon ryan
And he ended up in half guard.
He couldn't get up.
And DDP passed him into mount and then briefly took his back.
He fucked it up and he fell off.
So everyone forgot about it.
But Hamzat himself wasn't that good at getting up when he was in bottom position.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a good point.
He's very good.
gordon ryan
He did a really good job at holding the guy down.
But when he actually got put in bottom position, it's funny because he knows how to hold the guy down.
So in theory, he should be able to reverse engineer that and say, I'm doing this, this, and this to hold the guy down.
So I need to deny him the ability to do this, this, and this.
brendan schaub
But I'd be curious on Hamzat's camp how often guys are getting him where he's working on his back.
Nobody is.
joe rogan
Yeah, probably nobody.
gordon ryan
Well, that's his problem.
He should be putting himself in those positions.
joe rogan
100%.
You know, another good matchup that's coming?
Bo Nickel is fighting.
gordon ryan
Oh, I just saw that.
I forget who it is, though.
brendan schaub
Jiu-Jitsu.
joe rogan
Adolphov.
brendan schaub
Adolfo.
gordon ryan
Adolpho.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bryan callen
What about him?
Is he a really great jiu-jitsu?
unidentified
World champion.
joe rogan
You ever seen his body?
He makes Glaze and Tebow look like a fatso.
Yeah, show me Rodolfo Vieira's body.
brendan schaub
You ever seen Hadolfo?
gordon ryan
Adolfo.
joe rogan
He's a jiu-jitsu guy.
Oh my god.
He's got one of the freakiest bodies you've ever seen in MMA.
And amazing jiu-jitsu.
brendan schaub
World-class jiu-jitsu.
gordon ryan
That's a tough matchup for damn it.
bryan callen
Oh, that guy's fucking awesome.
I saw him at Meta Morris.
joe rogan
Bro, he's a beast.
bryan callen
He fought somebody.
He's ridiculous.
joe rogan
He's a beast.
bryan callen
Yeah, I'm built for dance.
This is such bullshit.
Look at that.
joe rogan
But in MMA, his striking is much improved.
He's getting a lot better.
brendan schaub
He's getting better.
Has some experience.
bryan callen
Come on.
brendan schaub
It's a good fight for Bo.
bryan callen
He's better than fucking Pato Cup.
joe rogan
That just shows you how fucking dangerous Fluffy Hernandez is because Fluffy cooked him.
gordon ryan
He finished him.
brendan schaub
Fluffy will be fucking people up.
joe rogan
He fucks people up.
He's like, someone was calling him the middleweight Marab.
And it's like that.
Like, he melts guys.
brendan schaub
He melts guys.
And it's interesting because he doesn't have a world-class background in wrestling.
He quit wrestling, I think, his freshman year in high school.
So he doesn't have this extensive wrestling background.
bryan callen
Remember, you, me, and Matt Mitrion, we were backstage, and Rodolfo had his shirt off.
And he's just standing like that.
When?
It was at your fight.
Me, Matt Mitron, and you, and I, and we were both looking, we were all looking at him like this, just like teenage girls.
It's like, what the fuck is going on with that guy's body?
joe rogan
He has a preposterous build.
bryan callen
Preposterous.
joe rogan
It's interesting, though, how he doesn't have a lot of submissions in the UFC.
gordon ryan
No.
brendan schaub
Guys avoid it.
Guys avoid it.
Keep it on the feet.
What's like Bouchesha, too?
He came over.
He's doing well-in-one championship.
Then came over the UFC, and he got fucking dealt with, man.
I love Bouchesha.
But just didn't translate.
joe rogan
And then Boudet, the guy who beat him, they cut.
gordon ryan
I didn't watch that fight, but from what I understand, Bouchesha had a hard time holding him down.
brendan schaub
He had his back so many times, but he was getting high.
It's like, buddy, I need to know.
joe rogan
How does a guy win a fight and then you cut him?
brendan schaub
Boring.
The UFC's there for entertainment.
bryan callen
They did that.
joe rogan
Wasn't it that boring?
I mean, that's how you're supposed to fight that guy.
Just a fight with DDP was boring then.
brendan schaub
Oh, I loved it.
But I see what you're saying.
I see what you're saying.
But with him, it's heavyweight, no finishes.
And he had a body of a lunch lady.
But we can't sell this.
unidentified
I understand.
brendan schaub
You're the toughest lunch lady in the world.
We can't fucking sell it.
gordon ryan
Talking off of win against Bouchet is kind of rough.
I agree.
Bouchesha had a lot of hype coming.
brendan schaub
They didn't cut him.
They didn't re-sign him.
joe rogan
That's the same thing.
unidentified
Hey, tomato tag.
brendan schaub
Not your boy Dana.
I'm a data.
joe rogan
I would be the worst for that because I would be like anti-marketing.
I would be, there's the number system.
Let's figure out what the number system is.
So number one, the champion, always has to fight number two.
Yeah.
brendan schaub
You got to make money, though.
gordon ryan
Yeah.
joe rogan
I get it.
But I mean, I feel like.
gordon ryan
We're trying to see what the best guy is.
joe rogan
If it's football, if it's baseball or anything like that, like you have to, you do this, and that's how you get to the number one.
brendan schaub
You'll see it in.
joe rogan
Craig's got to be careful of that overhand right now.
But they'll make more money than me.
They'll make way more money than my version, which takes place on a football field.
brendan schaub
Dude, you and Eddie in that fucking football field and no gloves.
joe rogan
No gloves.
brendan schaub
Can we not argue that with him?
joe rogan
No gloves.
Years of argument.
Upkicks allowed.
Up kicks allowed.
Soccer kicks allowed.
Stomps allowed.
Surprise.
bryan callen
Old Pride.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But better.
bryan callen
God.
joe rogan
Because Pride didn't have elbows.
brendan schaub
True.
joe rogan
Which is really bananas when you think about it.
unidentified
That's when they drew the line.
joe rogan
Think what Rampage Jackson did.
Do you remember when Ricardo Rona, that crazy slam off the triangle?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Now imagine that's okay.
But you can't elbow a guy.
brendan schaub
Dude, no, that's where we're going to get a lot of people.
gordon ryan
Like manually like stomp kicking kids.
joe rogan
Do they even have did Pride even have standing elbows?
unidentified
I don't remember when elbow press on that is wild.
So you see Crocop soccer kick guy in the face.
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
They're like, that's good.
joe rogan
That is so crazy.
They didn't even allow standing elbows.
brendan schaub
That's where they draw the line, dude.
bryan callen
They used to have headbutts.
You could be in somebody's car and just start.
joe rogan
No, no.
No, no, no.
That was UFC.
That was early days.
They used to do that.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Maybe early days of Pride had that.
Because early days of Pride was like 94.
And there was still headbutts back then.
Because I remember when I was working for the UFC in 97, Mark Coleman was using headbutts from the guard.
brendan schaub
Radius headbutts, yeah.
joe rogan
Yep, and with wrestling shoes on.
bryan callen
Jesus, come on.
joe rogan
Yeah, bro.
Everybody got on the sauce when Mark Coleman was around.
Everybody got saucy.
bryan callen
That's a rumor.
joe rogan
Everybody got saucy because that dude would hold you down and headbutt the fuck out of you.
brendan schaub
Do you want to talk about somebody on the sauce when you look at Mark Kerr in his heyday?
joe rogan
Oh, my goodness.
bryan callen
Cast in America besides Randy Holly.
joe rogan
I was there.
gordon ryan
He was like 285.
joe rogan
I was there with Kerr.
bryan callen
He wrestled at 188 in college, senior year, I believe.
And he was 260.
gordon ryan
And then he was like, this is gay.
I was there when I'm going to 285.
joe rogan
Kerr, when Kerr fought Dan Bulbit, and he stuck his chin in his eye.
Stuck his chin in his eye socket and grab the back of his neck.
bryan callen
I'll tap.
joe rogan
Look, that's me interviewing him.
bryan callen
I was with you, Bubba.
joe rogan
Size of that motherfucker.
bryan callen
I was with you.
We went to that fight.
And we talked to him afterwards.
joe rogan
Crazy.
How about that picture of him next to it?
The sad truth.
Oh, my God.
That's crazy.
unidentified
How about the rock had to get on more steroids to play him in a biopic?
brendan schaub
That's how big Mark Kerr was.
They're like, hey, Rock, we need you to play Mark Kerr.
We need you to get him on more steroids.
bryan callen
Rock got like they got an eight-minute standing.
gordon ryan
He's natural, dude.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's a lot of weight.
He lost a lot of weight.
Have you seen him now?
He's slimmed down.
I bet getting that big probably felt like shit.
brendan schaub
Well, someone's like, hey, your heart's going to explode, right?
joe rogan
And number two, you got 50.
brendan schaub
50, your heart's working overtime.
You don't have to forged internals anymore.
And also, he wants different roles.
He doesn't want to just play the actor.
unidentified
Right, right, right.
joe rogan
Of course.
Yeah.
They all want to do that.
bryan callen
He wants to get into politics.
joe rogan
Tista.
That's why he...
Yeah.
He lost all that weight, too.
And people are like, oh, you look so scrawny now.
And he was like, I'm 6'4, 240.
Yeah.
brendan schaub
He's like, I need a break, too.
My fucking body.
joe rogan
Like, the difference between him at 300 pounds being very unhealthy.
He's like, I feel so much better now.
I saw him in an interview recently.
I love that guy as an actor, but the thing that he did on the Jimmy Kimmel show where he was like mocking Trump and like punching the heavy wag and calling him a bag of milk.
brendan schaub
That's so cringy.
gordon ryan
Who is this?
brendan schaub
He's like, you think you're a tough guy?
joe rogan
Yeah, fuck, dude.
unidentified
Okay.
joe rogan
He's 80.
brendan schaub
What are you doing, dude?
joe rogan
So cringing the bag?
Like, what is this?
Who said you should do this?
gordon ryan
Have you ever seen it?
joe rogan
Because if he wins, this is a bad look.
brendan schaub
I bet you got paid, though.
joe rogan
I bet he did.
brendan schaub
It's like Travis Kelsey with Pfizer.
joe rogan
Yeah, like 20?
brendan schaub
20 mil.
I was making fun of him.
They told me how much he made.
unidentified
I get it.
gordon ryan
He was.
joe rogan
Yeah, he probably said, give me that Biden dose.
Batista had an alien in it.
unidentified
Yeah.
bryan callen
What's that?
gordon ryan
Have you seen Batista had an MMA fight?
joe rogan
He had one MMA fight.
Took a guy down.
bryan callen
I'm proud about Jiu-Jitsu.
joe rogan
Big, fucking strong.
brendan schaub
You always got to be careful with celebrity belts.
bryan callen
Mattaroya.
joe rogan
Who's got one that's a legit?
Is there, because everybody brings up that Moneybird guy.
You trained with him.
gordon ryan
Yeah, I'm friends with that.
brendan schaub
Gordon, Gordon, Gordon.
gordon ryan
Derek, everyone thinks that Derek is going to go out and beat an ADCC champion.
joe rogan
Paul Craig's about to go, of course.
gordon ryan
It's just not going to be beat up.
That's not how it's going to work.
But, I mean, if he trained with a guy, he's 45 years old or 42 years old.
Like, if he trained with a 42-year-old black belt, he'd do fine.
joe rogan
That's all you need to hear.
Because everybody was so against him.
Because he's rich.
But here's the thing.
If you're rich and you have discipline, and oh, did you kill him?
brendan schaub
Yeah, that's bad.
bryan callen
That's really bad.
joe rogan
Come in events coming up.
That was a weird stop.
brendan schaub
That wasn't bad.
bryan callen
It was bad.
No, not really.
unidentified
It was really bad.
joe rogan
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I mean, like, he stepped away.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Oh, it was off to the bell.
Oh, we didn't hear the bell.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
They just waved it off.
Bukakis had the worst fucking knee injury I've ever seen in the UFC.
bryan callen
Really?
joe rogan
Khalil Roundtree sidekicked him in the knee.
Remember that?
It was horrible, dude.
He totally bent his knee sideways and down.
See if you can find that, Jamie, so we can all cringe.
I guess when it comes to giving Roundtree Audestus Bukakis.
brendan schaub
I guess when it comes to giving that rich guy the black belt, I think for people that do jiu-jitsu, it's like there's different levels of black belt.
Like, if you're never going to compete and he got him, what, two years?
joe rogan
Three and a half.
That's the thing.
gordon ryan
It doesn't fucking matter.
Like, just get better at jiu-jitsu.
The belts are irrelevant.
joe rogan
Good point.
gordon ryan
Good point.
brendan schaub
Wait, explain irrelevant.
gordon ryan
Like, there's just focus on getting better at jiu-jitsu.
The belts are irrelevant.
brendan schaub
Agree.
I didn't come up to the market and give him his black belt.
That's what I'm saying.
gordon ryan
Yeah.
I mean, listen, I didn't give him his black belt either.
joe rogan
But Jake Shields did it.
Jake Shields is very legit.
And so if he said he's a black belt, I just take it at face value.
Okay, watch this.
Watch this.
Oh, jeez.
Bro, and that's Khalil Roundtree, who's one of the nastiest fucking kickers in the sport.
brendan schaub
He is shocked.
joe rogan
Oh, look at him.
He's just laying there in agony.
bryan callen
And you know that's 10 months.
joe rogan
Oh, at least.
He had to get it reconstructed.
But now, Bukakis has some big ass legs.
Here's the elbow that took Paul Craig out.
brendan schaub
Oh, my God.
bryan callen
Fuck.
joe rogan
Isn't that crazy how sideways that goes?
bryan callen
Fuck that.
joe rogan
That goes so sideways, dude.
It just blew it apart.
bryan callen
God.
Your knees are shit.
gordon ryan
But he trains seven days a week.
joe rogan
Look at this.
gordon ryan
Like four hours a day.
bryan callen
Who does?
gordon ryan
Derek.
bryan callen
That's a lot.
That's legit.
joe rogan
Yeah, man.
gordon ryan
If you've got discipline with legitimate champions, and he has like some of the best ability to recall information that I've ever seen.
Like, I can teach him something.
I could teach him something.
joe rogan
Autism.
bryan callen
Why politics?
gordon ryan
I could teach him something.
And I come back to a year later.
And he's like, oh, he worked on this, this, and this last time.
brendan schaub
I guess he would do a black belt as far as knowledge rolling with you guys.
But as far as competition goes, like, is he executing it in against other guys?
joe rogan
Like, besides Jiu-Jitsu?
gordon ryan
He doesn't compete.
He has no aspirations.
joe rogan
No, no, no, no, he means in training.
brendan schaub
Like, does he go against other purple belts, brown belts?
gordon ryan
So he trains with a guy so he comes in to train him.
So he doesn't have a lot of looks.
He doesn't go to a normal gym and train, which I think is something that's important to do just for your just personal journey in jiu-jitsu.
We just opened the new school.
We just opened Kingsway.
And we have a bunch of black belts who come from other schools.
And, you know, for the last 10 years, I'm used to being around.
Like, a shitty black belt to me is like a guy competed at a world level and I call my submission on.
That's like my definition of a shitty black belt.
unidentified
God damn.
brendan schaub
But there's levels.
gordon ryan
If you go to the gym and you see what your average black belt is, it kind of brings you back to reality.
And you're like, oh, this is what most black belts are.
Like, if Derek rolled with a regular black belt in the gym, he'd do fine.
brendan schaub
Maybe, right?
Because he's not doing it.
It's like when Brian told me he's really good at tennis and I said, are you paying the insurance?
bryan callen
I didn't say it was really good.
brendan schaub
You know what I'm saying?
gordon ryan
I train with normal black belts at the gym and I train with Derek right now there.
I'm telling you, he would do fine against the normal black belts.
brendan schaub
Well, then that's what it is.
gordon ryan
Yeah, you would know.
He's not going to go out and win worlds.
But if he had to compete against an average black belt who's been doing jiu-jitsu for 10 years and he does it for an hour at a random gym in Kentucky, he would hold his own.
He would probably beat him up, to be honest.
bryan callen
Wayne McCulloch said about me on a radio station.
joe rogan
I like how he brought it back to you.
bryan callen
No, I'm going to tell you, because to his point, to his point, Wayne McCulloch goes, I put Brian in the...
I laugh even saying it.
He goes, I put Brian in the ring with anybody.
Meanwhile, even a remotely good amateur would knock me the fuck out.
joe rogan
It's not just that.
Being in the ring with anybody doesn't mean anything.
It just means he wants to watch you get punched.
Also, I never put Brian in the ring with Mike Tyson.
bryan callen
Also, I never, I never, I would spar with these guys.
If they were good, they would take it easy and they'd move around with a 48-year-old actor.
gordon ryan
Like, he's a 42-year-old hobbyist who's worth $100 million and focuses on making money.
unidentified
Yeah.
gordon ryan
And also trains four hours of that.
bryan callen
Sounds awesome.
joe rogan
Yeah, if you're disciplined.
gordon ryan
Everyone's giving him shit because he used it to market himself and was like, you're too fucking stupid to get a black belt in three and a half years.
And I'm not.
That's why everyone's upset about him.
Well, he does train hard every day.
joe rogan
It's a great idea because I had no idea he existed.
And now I'm defending him.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
I've defended him based on what you said.
gordon ryan
Actually, he's here right now.
He did the 1030.
joe rogan
Paul Craig just retired.
brendan schaub
Good for him.
joe rogan
Good for him.
That's enough.
I mean, that guy's been KO'd again, and he's a great guy.
He's very smart, too.
bryan callen
I'm sure.
It gets to a point, though, right?
Where you get to an age.
joe rogan
By the way, has a fucking submission victory over the champion, Magaman and Kolio, caught him with a triangle.
His triangle is so tight.
It's so quick.
bryan callen
He got on Coli.
joe rogan
Yeah, with one second to go, dog.
One second to go in the third round.
Whipped up a triangle and fucking, he made him tap with one second to go.
That's how tight it was.
bryan callen
And had the COVID vaccine the day before.
That's what's incredible.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
He had all of it.
brendan schaub
But Gordon, you can see why some people, if a guy gets his black belt in two years, you're like, okay, what's going on?
joe rogan
Three and a half.
But you're right.
brendan schaub
You're just DJ Penn.
joe rogan
But how much did he really train?
So like, this is the idea that we always say, this is what I always say when people talk about Jake Paul.
They say, oh, Jake Paul is fucking YouTubers, this, and that goes, push all that away.
Yes.
But that doesn't mean he can't be good at something.
And also, the kid was a wrestler in high school and college, legitimate athlete.
Like, if I just watched him, if I watched him knock out Tyron Woodley, just watched him, I'd say that kid's a prospect.
He's fun.
He's exciting.
He's young.
He's got one punch go to sleep power.
brendan schaub
Yes, he actually.
He didn't have all that baggage.
joe rogan
But that's the baggage.
It's psychological.
You look at him like the YouTube guy.
So a rich guy, like a Moneybird guy or a Zuckerberg, you say, oh, he can fuck that guy.
But if he's got discipline and he can hire the best trainers, if he really doesn't tough.
If he's actually deeply in the middle of the day, he's here today.
gordon ryan
He's in Austin.
He did the 1030 to 12 class, and then he's taking three two-hour privates with Gian Carlo, Luke, and Marigali.
bryan callen
That's legit.
gordon ryan
So he trains.
He stretches from 10.30 until it's like seven o'clock at night.
joe rogan
You can't knock just that.
bryan callen
And he's also been really successful in something else.
So he applies that discipline to get it.
Exactly.
joe rogan
Not only that, the workload.
If he's doing that many hours and he's doing it every day, it's a lot.
This is the Gordon Ryan method, right?
Your method has always been not just study harder than everybody else, but you don't take days off.
That's a giant factor.
It's a giant factor.
I talk about him all the time because that training 365 days a year.
bryan callen
You wouldn't take one day?
joe rogan
It's kind of nuts.
No.
No days off.
gordon ryan
I mean, if I'm sick or I have staff or my legs hurt, I come watch.
I'm always there thinking about the sport.
brendan schaub
My thing with Jake Paul is take all that baggage away.
You would still, if this is, if Boxing had a belt class system, you would still say Jake is a blue belt with his experience.
You wouldn't say he's a black belt.
He's not a master of the sport, even though he's dedicated to whatever the last four.
gordon ryan
But this goes back to my original point, which is just belts are just fucking.
This belt thing, like blue belts can beat up black belts now.
joe rogan
Yeah, I don't like, you know, it's they certainly can if they're strong and they're fast and they've got tight technique and the black belts got up.
unidentified
So it's like a really good black belt.
brendan schaub
Jim, I came from, there was no blue belt.
I didn't even have black belt belts.
I don't know what the fuck was that.
gordon ryan
Would I have a black belt in three and a half years?
No, but I also don't have any black belts.
Like my standard for a black belt is like so unrealistically high that I don't even, I don't have a black belt.
bryan callen
Have you not given him a black belt?
No.
joe rogan
Eddie had this kid.
gordon ryan
I don't have any black belt belt belt belt belt.
joe rogan
Eddie had this kid that was a Division I wrestler.
I wish I could remember his name because he was a fucking nightmare.
Every time I roll, it was so ridiculous.
We would do neon belly drills and you start with neon belly.
And this dude would throw me off him like I was a pillow.
And then when he would get on top of me, knee on my belly, I was going nowhere.
I was stuck there.
We're the same size.
We're the same size.
He was crazy fucking strong.
Now, that guy was a blue belt.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Like, he was just an elite wrestler who you just show him a few of these things, and he already knows how to move his body and control people.
brendan schaub
He doesn't know how to do an uma plot or a proper groundball.
joe rogan
He didn't, he's terrible off his back.
brendan schaub
Yeah, he's good.
He's not a black belt.
bryan callen
But he's also been fucking wrestling.
joe rogan
He could fuck black belts up.
He could because he could pass your guard.
He would smush you.
He would geek.
bryan callen
And he was a D1 wrestler, right?
joe rogan
He was a D1 wrestler who was jazzed.
He had this powerlifting routine that he would do.
He would not skip powerlifting workouts.
He's like, it's the most important part of my game.
He was all clean.
bryan callen
And that's what he's doing.
joe rogan
That's powerlifting, deadlift, snatches.
It was all.
That's all he did.
brendan schaub
To the other end of that, we've had D1 guys come into the academy and they get fucking smoked.
joe rogan
That can happen too.
That could happen too.
But this kid was training.
brendan schaub
That's how it goes.
joe rogan
But he was training for a couple of years.
brendan schaub
There's been blue belts or purplets that come in and get fucking starch, man.
It takes a long time to learn and stop.
joe rogan
What I'm saying is that this guy loved MMA.
He was an elite wrestler.
And he was two years in a jiu-jitsu, but he was a blue belt.
That's what I'm saying.
So he's a blue belt, but years of experience fucking trouble.
gordon ryan
I just gave Jason Nolfa's blue belts.
Jason Nolfa's like having matches with Renato Canuto.
He's like having like, they had matches with Tyratolo.
He's having competitive matches.
brendan schaub
And did you give him his blue belt because of experience?
gordon ryan
Well, he's like a world-class wrestler.
joe rogan
That's such a factor.
gordon ryan
He's like American wrestling legend.
joe rogan
I think this is, I've always said this, but I say it again.
That's the best base.
100%.
If you could dictate where the fight takes place, that's the most important thing.
Look at no champs.
Yeah, all fights start striking.
But look what happens to a lot of these guys that have striking.
Did you see when Chaos Williams fought Gustafsson?
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
That fucking Viking dude?
bryan callen
No.
joe rogan
He just, Chaos Williams, his terrifying power.
Terrifying one punch.
Just has a highlight reel of starching guys with one shot.
This fucking Viking just got a hold of him and just absolutely ragdolled him for three rounds.
To the point, like, you felt bad for Chaos at the end.
brendan schaub
It was the beatdown.
joe rogan
He was beating the shit out of him.
Like, I've never seen anybody beat the shit out of chaos.
It's grappling.
bryan callen
It's crap.
joe rogan
The wrestling is so goddamn important.
If you can do that and you can hold a guy and you can dictate where the fight takes place, that's number one.
Even if a fight starts standing, chaos is fucking dangerous.
And Gustafson got KO'd earlier today.
He got KO'd by that Russian cat that I thought was going to be a grappling match.
bryan callen
Alexander Gustafson?
joe rogan
He doesn't have...
bryan callen
Oh, okay.
I'm sorry.
brendan schaub
Completely different.
joe rogan
Andreas Gustafson.
But his fucking strength is insane.
This guy does one-armed barbell snatches with 175 pounds.
unidentified
What?
brendan schaub
To say power for a penalty.
bryan callen
That dude.
joe rogan
Papa Tom.
brendan schaub
He's like the strongest guy.
joe rogan
You can find some video.
There's a video compilation of him weightlifting.
It's insane.
This is him.
bryan callen
Yeah, that's like crazy.
Look how much time it is.
joe rogan
He got stopped today in the first round.
bryan callen
What does he fight at?
joe rogan
170.
bryan callen
Oh, my God.
joe rogan
So my point is, at least in the Chaos Williams fight's good example, the grappling is so goddamn important.
It's number one.
Number one for sure.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
Number one.
brendan schaub
He should dictate where the fight goes.
Keep it on the feet.
Go to the floor.
gordon ryan
And if you're fighting for 20 years, you take so much less damage than a striker.
joe rogan
Correct.
gordon ryan
That's the thing no one talks to us.
It's like, look how much damage like a Khabib took in his career versus on the end of the day.
brendan schaub
But that's why I always say that.
joe rogan
Khabib got touched four or five times his whole career.
brendan schaub
But that's why I say it's always way more impressive what Izzy's done, what Alex has done.
When they're strikers and they don't have an option to grapple, and you know they're going to keep it on the feet and they get to that championship level, that level of difficulty is so much higher than what Khabib or these other grapplers are doing.
Because you know they're not, they're only going to do one thing.
Right, Pereira.
joe rogan
Like Pereira.
brendan schaub
That's what I'm saying, Alex.
Alex is all they're going to do, they're going to knock you out.
They have no other way to win.
That's all they're going to do.
Well, Pretty much.
joe rogan
He was the guy I was the most excited about when he came over from Glory.
Because I'm not going to be able to do that.
brendan schaub
You were talking about him for a second.
joe rogan
I was like, dude, you got to watch this.
bryan callen
Did he starch everybody in Glory?
joe rogan
Man, I just always knew.
You always remember from gyms, right?
There's always a guy in the gym that you're like, how are you doing that?
Like, how are you hitting everybody so hard?
There's guys you'd watch them hit pads.
You're like, okay, what the fuck are you doing different than everybody else here?
bryan callen
That's Pereira.
joe rogan
You see him hit things?
It's like, you see him right hook that fucking punch machine.
You know that punch machine?
He got 190 with his right hand.
bryan callen
His left hand's his power hand, dude.
joe rogan
His left hand was hurt.
So he threw a right.
bryan callen
Mike Brown said that amount of time.
He said that about Dustin Poirier.
He said Dustin Poirier knocks guys out all the time.
joe rogan
Dustin Poirier is a terrific puncher.
Absolutely.
But Pereira is a different thing, man.
He's like a one in a million guy.
brendan schaub
Really?
joe rogan
The power this guy has is one in a million.
It's nuts.
brendan schaub
He's built like a brain man.
joe rogan
He's built different.
He's built like a fucking alien, man.
bryan callen
His bill is this high.
It starts in the middle of his back.
joe rogan
He is a legitimate Amazon warrior.
Like an absolute legit Amazon warrior.
His family comes from an Amazonian tribe.
Oh, my God.
So the power of this is a bad thing.
bryan callen
You see his sister?
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
brendan schaub
She's a fucking beast.
joe rogan
She's fucking good, man.
And technically, this is when he knocked out Izzy the first time.
Dude.
bryan callen
Wow.
joe rogan
Terrifying puncher.
And then by the time he got to glory, he went up from 85 and put some masks on.
And that's when he started fucking people up.
When he was a two-time glory champion in 85 and 205.
brendan schaub
God, did they fast-track him?
He's LFA, starts some dude.
They put him right in the UFC.
joe rogan
Right in the UFC.
brendan schaub
Starches.
joe rogan
Starches Micheladis with that flying knee.
Oh, my goodness.
And then Starch is Sean Strickland.
And then he had that one fight where Bruno Silva made the fucking...
That dude, I forget who he's fighting.
That guy, there's so many guys in here.
Like, he fought Jason Willness and head-kicked him and then flying knee him in the head.
Jason Willis is a world champion, dude.
Like an elite world champion.
bryan callen
Good God.
joe rogan
I know they have to have that.
This is him against Dustin Chikov.
Watch that left hook.
One more time.
One more time.
That is fucking crazy power, dude.
unidentified
Look at this.
joe rogan
Look at that power.
It's just different, man.
Every now and then a guy, you'll see a guy hit the bag.
You'll see a guy hit pads.
You see a guy punch someone in the ring.
And you're like, what is he doing different?
That's Pereira.
Like maybe the best example in kickboxing I've ever seen.
Because everybody knocks guys out.
They're all killer strikers.
But his was different.
There was a finality to what he did to people.
Look at that.
bryan callen
Oh, my God.
joe rogan
Yeah.
unidentified
Ferocious.
bryan callen
Jesus Christ.
joe rogan
Bro, and these are big-ass gloves, right?
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
These aren't MMA.
No, no, no, no.
They're 10.
They're 10.
Yeah, they're 10s.
brendan schaub
Those also are world-class strikers.
He's not going to be able to do that.
joe rogan
This is Jason Willis.
bryan callen
Oh, my God.
joe rogan
Flying knee.
brendan schaub
Those are world-class guys, Brian.
joe rogan
Jason Willis is a world champion, dude.
He head-kicked him first, and then he flying-kneed him out.
Oh my god, God.
brendan schaub
Bro, he's not doing the skins, can't he?
joe rogan
So no grappling.
I mean, he had zero grappling.
And in fact, he had one MMA fight.
He got taken down and rear nicked choked.
So that guy got taken down to rear nick and choked, which highlights how fucking important grappling is.
bryan callen
Yeah, 100%.
joe rogan
Then he hooks up with Glover.
So that was the big thing.
Glover to Shara teaches him how to wrestle, at least a little bit.
And then slowly over time, you see it getting better and better inside the octagon.
bryan callen
Takedown defense, standing up, all that stuff.
brendan schaub
But then you get to a certain point where there's not, I don't give a fuck if Gordon's teaching whatever.
There's not enough hours in the day to make up that gap when you get to a certain level at the UFC.
Like for DDP, there's nothing we can do for him to beat Hamza.
joe rogan
There's not enough time in his life to beat Hamzat in wrestling.
brendan schaub
He's not 21 years old.
bryan callen
We're like, now you need to get Russians in there and they're like, this is what you got to do.
joe rogan
He can definitely get better.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
No doubt he can get better.
But Hamzat is extraordinary.
bryan callen
Yeah, he is.
joe rogan
He's extraordinary.
He can't make up.
bryan callen
He said, it wasn't his strength.
He said his job.
brendan schaub
You think you can, Gordon?
gordon ryan
Yeah.
I think it's possible.
bryan callen
I have to pee before I watch this fight because I'm excited about this.
joe rogan
I think one of the worst backgrounds to get into with MMA, unfortunately, is jujitsu with no wrestling and no striking.
gordon ryan
Last call Jiu-Jitsu.
bryan callen
Yeah, you're fucking awesome.
joe rogan
Last class Jiu-Jitsu.
gordon ryan
I think it's the worst because you have no ability to dictate where the fight goes.
unidentified
Yep.
gordon ryan
There's also an agreed upon unspoken rule in Jiu-Jitsu where one guy plays top, one guy plays bottom.
joe rogan
Correct.
gordon ryan
And the way that the point system is set up in Jiu-Jitsu is that the guy on bottom stays on bottom.
The guy on top tries to pass.
joe rogan
They're showing a Hamzad highlight really here now.
No, no, it's okay.
So go ahead.
Keep going.
gordon ryan
So it's usually the guy on top is Patty Cake, Pedicate, Pedicate, Opportunity passes scores.
Backs away, patty cake, patty cake, passes scores.
So, jiu-jitsu guys never actually focus on holding anyone down, which is why when they actually go fight people, they just have zero to ability to keep them in bottom position.
And if you look at the finishers, like people are people are minimalists in jiu-jitsu, whereas the ideal for jiu-jitsu is a maximalist, like you do the minimum amount of work to win.
So, they patty cake, patty cake, side control, three points, and they stall for the rest of the match.
Whereas if you actually go in and you look at guys who actually work towards finality, then you have guys who are actually good finishers.
And so, if you just combine all this, like even Hidolfa versus that guy, Fluffy is his nickname.
Like, he got to good positions.
Like, he mounted him, he took his back multiple times, but he spent this whole career just winning on points.
So, when he actually went to finish him, like, there's like, it's just you don't have the mistakes.
joe rogan
Isn't that fascinating that the rule set kind of really kind of ruined a lot of what made jiu-jitsu important?
Yeah, like rule set did.
gordon ryan
The number one thing that no one talks about in my career, which separates me, is the fact that when I put people in bottom position, no one ever stands up.
And if they do stand up, they've used so much energy standing up that it wasn't even worth it to stand up in the first place.
Like, everyone that I fight knows by passing is so good, and they know my pins are so good.
Like, they know that they, if I get chest to chest and half guard and pass them, I'm gonna finish them.
So, everyone's like, I'm fucking getting up.
Like, I spent like I fought Andre, I fought Yuri, I fought all these guys.
Like, no one, everyone knows if I'm in bottom position, I'm gonna get my guard pass, and if I get my guard pass, I'm gonna get a finish.
So, like, I need to get up like my life depends on it, and nobody even gets close.
joe rogan
And so, like, and if they do, it sounds like bragging, but that's 100% true.
gordon ryan
Like, like when I fought Wagner, like you were there, like Wagner tried his absolute hardest to stand up when he was fresh.
And just, if you look at he fought everybody else, fought Craig, fought everyone else, he just kicks away, kicks in the hips, he fought MMA, kicks in the hips, stands up, and he's back up.
And so, it doesn't allow you to keep pressure over time.
I just put him on bottom, and they just never got away.
And then the one time he did get away, it was so late in the match that he was so exhausted that I just let him up, and then I just put him back in bottom position.
So, no one talks about the fact that I can hold people down, but the number one issue with classical jiu-jitsu guys is that they never spend any time holding people down.
So, when they, first of all, they can't take them down, and if they do get on top, the guy just stands up.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, and um, also, no striking at all.
So, going into it with that, going into MMA with no ability to take a guy down, no real experience in holding guys down, and then poor finisher and poor finish.
gordon ryan
So, even if you, even if you jump guard, for example, and you're in bottom, because you never spent your time actually working on like submission finishing mechanics, right?
This guy can't even finish him from bottom position.
joe rogan
Guys who win jiu-jitsu tournaments that don't even attempt a submission, yeah, they just get mount.
gordon ryan
So, if you're on top, which is unlikely because you can't take the guy down, it's it's unlikely you're gonna hold top position.
And even if you are in bottom position, you're not dangerous enough to actually finish the guy.
So, it's like classical jiu-jitsu is just getting phased out, and we call it scrimmage wrestling.
joe rogan
Uh, what the Dagestoni guys are doing is going to be phased in, like, they just I like how somebody was mocking you about scrimmage wrestling, and then it got used on it by Nikki.
gordon ryan
Like, I'm not, I'm not denying it's wrestling, it's just a different kind of wrestling.
And if you look at every historical piece of information, like you look at Aaron Pico, took the guy down, he's an amazing, you know, classical American wrestler, couldn't hold him down, yeah.
And then Hamzat was like the next match, he takes the guy down, rides in the whole, like, had 23 minutes on top.
The only reason he didn't have like a full, almost 25 minutes was because he got stood up, like, you know, midway through one of the rounds.
I think it was like 23 minutes of control time.
Like, I'm not saying it's not wrestling, it's just a different kind of wrestling.
bryan callen
When you teach jiu-jitsu, like, when you start with somebody, do you start from what is the what is the system?
How do you start?
Are they on the bottom first?
joe rogan
But before you get to that, this the scrimmage wrestling thing, what I was getting to is like somebody was mocking that.
I was like, why are you mocking a term?
Like, what are you trying to pretend he doesn't know what he's talking about?
Like, it seems crazy.
But then the exact same thing got done to him.
gordon ryan
Yeah, correct.
He was like, oh, like.
joe rogan
It got done to him in the match with Nikki Rodd.
bryan callen
That's hilarious.
gordon ryan
It's like everyone just thinks you could just come in as a collegiate or freestyle wrestler and dominate.
And it's just not the way.
Like, there's so many things in wrestling that work perfectly.
There's so many things that don't work at all.
There's so many things that don't make sense to do.
Like a fireman's carry.
Like, you hit a fireman's carry.
Next thing you know, the guy's in a crucifix on you.
joe rogan
Right.
gordon ryan
Or he has your back or you're in your triangle.
joe rogan
Do you remember when Big Daddy Goodrich fought Paul Herrera?
Paul Herrera took him down, got him in a fireman's carry, and Big Daddy Goodrich locked his legs up, locked his arm up, and elbowed him.
Oh, I remember that 50 million times in the head.
It was fucking crazy.
bryan callen
So never do a fireman's carry?
joe rogan
It was back when there was...
Look at this.
Watch this.
This is back when there's no tapping either.
Look at this.
bryan callen
Oh, my God.
I remember this.
He was out right away.
joe rogan
The referee should stop this 80 elbows ago.
bryan callen
He's 10.
joe rogan
And by the way, stop.
Bro, bro.
They added extra to it.
Did they add it?
It says 50 elbows.
I know, because it repeats itself here.
It's a loop.
But what is the actual number?
Let's see if we can find the actual.
Just find Big Daddy Goodrich.
unidentified
Oh, shit.
joe rogan
We're watching Mauricio Ruffy and St. Denis.
It's already started.
Oh, Ruffy just popped him with a jab.
bryan callen
These comedy mothership cigars are nice, Baba.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's a foundation cigar.
Shout out to them.
gordon ryan
He's like, now this connection.
Like, takedown score is nothing.
Can he actually hold him down from this position?
joe rogan
Well, Saint Denis is pretty good at holding guys down.
I mean, clearly not on your level of it, but he does have a very pressured case.
gordon ryan
It looked like Ruffy didn't even try.
He just accepted bottom position.
So it was like, there was like there's no, like now he's trying to get up, but he's already got his guard.
brendan schaub
It's a great game plan by.
joe rogan
Oh, Centenni, this is huge for him.
Full mount already?
brendan schaub
Requesting guys, cardio.
Where's that out early?
Bro, look at that.
joe rogan
He's going for the arm triangle.
He's going hard for it.
Look at this.
gordon ryan
And if you look at the pace of the body.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
I think he's going to get it.
bryan callen
It's called Leche de Padre.
joe rogan
Bro, does it?
That's what he said.
bryan callen
Father's milk.
joe rogan
Really?
bryan callen
You just buried him.
joe rogan
Seven years ago?
bryan callen
Bury him into his tit.
joe rogan
I thought that was when you smother a guy.
bryan callen
Yeah, that's what it looks like he's doing.
joe rogan
Well, no, this is an arm triangle.
He's isolating the right arm.
brendan schaub
What do you do?
Come out single leg?
Double leg?
gordon ryan
Went to double legs to waist up to a body.
joe rogan
Mauricio's almost up.
Nope.
gordon ryan
He's got to lock the triangle.
joe rogan
Oh, he's got his back now.
gordon ryan
Now he should go power half or he's going to get taken up.
bryan callen
Jeez.
joe rogan
This is terrible for Rufy.
Oh, he can get him on the back.
gordon ryan
He's done.
He should have gone power half.
brendan schaub
Now you can stand up.
Just stand up, Bubba.
joe rogan
What did he do instead of power half?
What did he?
gordon ryan
He just stayed with two hands over the shoulders, and then the guy just kind of misaligned the body.
So, see, like, he had a takedown, and he couldn't hold him down.
joe rogan
Right, and now they're back at their feet, and Rufy's fucking dangerous at a distance, dude.
Look at that.
Nice knee to the body.
gordon ryan
He's dangerous at a distance.
joe rogan
Nice.
gordon ryan
Do you know how mentally fatiguing it is to put a guy down and not be able to do any damage?
And then it's not just physical.
It's like I put this guy down, and then he fucking got up on me and I couldn't do anything to him.
joe rogan
He's like some special forces French guy.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
What is his exact military?
Like, what did what his experience is?
brendan schaub
Whatever their fucking Delta team is over there.
joe rogan
Is that what he is?
bryan callen
Oh, he's one of those guys.
joe rogan
Their version of it.
Yeah, but there's like French are no joke.
This dude's no joke.
He's an intense motherfucker.
He was thanking America for helping France in World War II in one of his post-fight speeches.
bryan callen
Jesus.
joe rogan
He's like, I love Amenica.
You helped us in World War II.
I'm like, whoa.
This guy, what is he thinking about?
gordon ryan
So he's got his back again.
He's got him.
brendan schaub
French Army specialist.
joe rogan
He's got him down again.
So far, this is not a good round for Rufy.
So now we know about Rufy's grappling because what we've seen from him is just, well, also, Saint Denis is a beast.
brendan schaub
He's a beast.
joe rogan
He's a beast.
Look at that full mountain gambling.
brendan schaub
Fuffy can survive this.
joe rogan
Arm triangle.
Arm triangle.
bryan callen
Gordon, do you guys start with a traditional guard triangle?
Do you start?
gordon ryan
So what kind of athlete am I trying to build?
joe rogan
Oh, like elite Brian Cowan.
gordon ryan
Brian Cowlin.
If I'm trying to build an athlete from the ground up and I have time to work with them, I always start them in bottom position.
unidentified
Right.
bryan callen
On his package.
gordon ryan
Bottom position is the hardest to learn.
Most people start standing.
Standing is actually the last thing I teach them.
bryan callen
Really?
gordon ryan
I start.
Yeah.
Because if you can get good submissions and get off balances from bottom position, good guard retention and good escapes, pin and submission escapes, those are the first things that I do.
brendan schaub
So more guys asking you to come in their camp.
joe rogan
He's yelling at something.
He's complaining about something.
Ruffy's complaining about something.
brendan schaub
See, he's holding the glove.
joe rogan
So he's holding something.
gordon ryan
Yeah.
joe rogan
He's holding shorts.
gordon ryan
Hamzat asked me to train like in Newport?
No, I was in Sweden.
I'm like, I'm not going to Sweden right now.
brendan schaub
He does the camps in Newport now.
It's not too bad for you.
gordon ryan
Yeah.
I'd be like, okay, so if he trained hard, it would be great.
joe rogan
He had his hands in his shorts.
brendan schaub
Yeah, he can't be doing that.
joe rogan
He was holding on to the shorts, I think.
Is that what he's saying, Jamie?
gordon ryan
Hopefully, he's grabbing his dick.
joe rogan
Hopefully, he's grabbing.
That was a fight once with Big Daddy Goodrich as well.
He fought this dude, the Pedro, and he reached his hand into the guy's junk and fucking crushed his nuts.
bryan callen
No.
joe rogan
Yes, he did.
brendan schaub
It was legal, too.
joe rogan
In Brazil.
In Brazil.
Yeah, there was no rules back then.
He reached his hand and crushed the man's balls.
brendan schaub
How bad do you want to win?
joe rogan
How bad do you want to win, bitch?
bryan callen
Oh, God.
Is it true that bullshit?
Or when DD Duplessi had his finger in Kamzat's ass?
Is that true?
Or Kamzat was a.
brendan schaub
Ryan's on TikTok a lot.
I'm sorry, guys.
Excuse my fucking friend.
bryan callen
Here we go.
Edit that out.
Edit that out.
joe rogan
50 seconds left.
unidentified
Oh, Rufus.
bryan callen
I like that drone.
joe rogan
He's swinging.
But he's got to be so exhausted now, and now he knows he can't get taken down.
Never seen Rufi like this before, man.
This is interesting.
Well, I mean, you got to think of the guys that Santeni has fought, too.
He just fought Dustin Poirier.
Oh, yeah.
brendan schaub
Strength of schedule.
St. Denise way higher.
joe rogan
Hanato Moikano.
Yep.
He's fought some pretty elite guys.
bryan callen
He lost him, I kind of right.
gordon ryan
Yeah.
joe rogan
He got beat up.
brendan schaub
He does.
gordon ryan
But you see, like, even this, like, when you're standing, there's so much less that has to go wrong for a good guy to get beaten by a guy who's not much lesser.
Like, when you're grappling someone, so much has to go wrong in order to lose to a guy who's worse than you.
So, like, if he took him down in the first 30 seconds of the round and he remained in top position, like, just riding him, there would have been like almost zero danger in the round, which is like what Khabib and Hamzat do.
joe rogan
Correct.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
Whereas in this guy, that last 50 seconds.
gordon ryan
If you're here or there, you get knocked out.
If you're on the ground, there's a lot of shit that has to go wrong to get beat.
joe rogan
Especially when you're tired.
That's the thing.
It's like you have to make choices.
Do I move now?
Am I too tired to explode out of the way?
I see him winding up.
Do I try to duck?
Like, what do I try?
You don't have that.
Like, when Itama fought Dillian White, the in-and-out footwork, whoo!
After something like that, that shit's gone.
unidentified
Right?
joe rogan
So you can't really get out of the way.
brendan schaub
St. Denise is banking.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Like, even if I don't finish him, let's drain this fucking gas tank so his footwork's not as good.
So he's not as dangerous on the feet.
But this is such a good test for Hoofy because he really hasn't beat those high-caliber guys yet.
It's such a good test.
joe rogan
Here's a real question.
Do you think that with guys like Murab and then Fluffy as well, but maybe to a slightly lesser extent, do you think what they're showing is that just like some people can do those 100-mile races that like Goggins and Cam Haynes does, and that we think that a marathon is hard, but it's just because that's all you train for.
unidentified
Correct.
joe rogan
But guys like Cam do a marathon literally every day.
And it's just, you got to go past where you think the boundary is.
And a guy like Murab can keep that kind of pace up for five minutes because he's in that 100-mile running.
unidentified
Yes.
joe rogan
You know what I mean?
brendan schaub
Is he genetically gifted where he can do that or is it just all mentally?
joe rogan
He says not.
He says he used to figure it out.
bryan callen
That's true.
They say that like Pré-Fontaine, those guys have harder bones in their feet and stuff like that.
joe rogan
Well, that's also from use, though.
That's from use.
That's the same tactic.
Yeah, you get that from kickboxers.
You get that from weightlifters.
unidentified
Oh.
bryan callen
Because Saint Denise, I'm sorry, I'm going to say it.
His hands are down a lot of times.
He's close.
joe rogan
Oh, he just got elbowed hard.
bryan callen
He gets caught, man.
joe rogan
He got elbowed hard.
Well, he's tired.
brendan schaub
He gets reckless, too.
bryan callen
He does get reckless.
joe rogan
Well, he's a very violent man.
Yeah.
But here he goes.
He got him down again.
He's down down again.
brendan schaub
He's down to train.
joe rogan
He's got it.
bryan callen
He's what?
brendan schaub
He's down to training.
joe rogan
Oh, Rufy reversed him.
Oh, this is huge.
That means he's tired.
gordon ryan
That's what I was talking about scrimmaging.
unidentified
Yeah.
gordon ryan
Like, Rufy was just like, I'm not accepting.
And every previous takedown, he's like, I'm accepting bottom position.
This time he was like, I'm not getting put on bottom.
And he just kept moving until he was in top position.
joe rogan
And now he's going to let him stand up.
Every time this happens, Ben Watt's in more and more trouble.
He's just got to be clean here and just don't get wild.
bryan callen
If Ben Watt gets hands down, he's kicking with his hands down.
gordon ryan
You see the clear tactical difference between these guys and a guy like Khabib.
brendan schaub
Yes.
gordon ryan
Saint Denis tried to take him down in the first round and tried to finish him in the first round.
So he had more submission attempts and more, he worked towards submission a lot more than a Khabib would.
But now he's a lot more tired.
Like Khabib and Hamzat spend the first like, if it's a five-round fight, the first like two to three rounds just riding the guy.
Like there's no submission attempts.
The sole focus is keep the guy down, control him, make him carry body weight.
joe rogan
You know, see, this is the thing.
If you get to like 155 pounds and you're a striker, you know, that is at the weight where like most of these guys can knock each other the fuck out.
Like if this guy fought Ilya Toporia, he'd get knocked the fuck out.
Or he could knock Ilya the fuck out.
Like it's so tight when you're at like a championship level and you're you're that fast and hit that hard.
That's a wild game.
What you're saying, Gordon, is like it's so important for people to hear because that is the clearest pathway to success.
Like complete control on the ground.
It's the least amount of damage you take.
gordon ryan
And it's safest post-career.
brendan schaub
Correct.
unidentified
Yes.
joe rogan
Saint Denis, look at this.
Look at this.
gordon ryan
Rufus is tired, too.
joe rogan
Look at this.
unidentified
Look at this.
bryan callen
That is not fun.
gordon ryan
He's got this.
bryan callen
Two and a half minutes.
Oh, fuck that.
gordon ryan
He's going to pull the hand down.
If he pulls the hand down, he's going to be.
brendan schaub
Underneath his chin.
joe rogan
He's battling it.
Ooh, that is close, though, Jack.
Oh, he's putting the squeeze on the jaw.
bryan callen
That's just.
gordon ryan
Oh, if he starts turning belly up.
joe rogan
Oh, he's out.
bryan callen
He's got him not fun.
joe rogan
Wow, Benoit Saint-Denis.
That is the biggest win of his career.
bryan callen
Yep.
Oh, my friend.
Right in France.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a huge win.
That is fucking huge.
brendan schaub
And that's the first loss for the fighting nerds.
joe rogan
Yeah, and that's a big one, man.
That's a big one.
Because Rufi was the ninja.
You know, Rufy was the guy that hit Bobby Green with that wheel kick.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
And Rufi was the one.
Yeah, he's got to be feeling it right now.
brendan schaub
I mean, that's his boy.
And then the captain of the nerds is fighting the main event.
joe rogan
Benoit just starts shooting at the ground.
gordon ryan
He could have turned out because he was actually budged against the fence.
So he wouldn't have been able to follow that.
bryan callen
He's a fucking beast downtown, bro.
joe rogan
That dude's a fucking beast.
bryan callen
Good for him.
Good for him.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's a beast.
And the thing is, it's like he didn't get deterred from his losses either.
You know, he gets beat up by Moay Cano, didn't get deterred, beat up by Dustin Poirier.
brendan schaub
He's about those, though.
He wins that last one.
That last one, he didn't look great.
bryan callen
Strong mind.
joe rogan
He looked great too.
brendan schaub
And he took it on short notice.
joe rogan
To do that to Ruffie, that's big, man.
That's big for him.
I wonder.
brendan schaub
Well, maybe we don't know how good Rufi is, you know?
joe rogan
Yeah, well, we know how good he is standing.
He just got submitted.
bryan callen
Sending him working on his wrestling a lot, I think, here.
joe rogan
Well, he started his background was judo initially.
brendan schaub
His grappling.
joe rogan
He's a really good grappler.
You know, not fighting MMA that long.
He's only been fighting MMA for a few years.
bryan callen
Wow.
Really?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
bryan callen
Damn.
joe rogan
And really didn't start striking until later.
unidentified
God.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's kind of a freak, man.
I asked him in a post-fight speech.
I said, how did you get so good so quick?
Like, I thought maybe he'd have some insight.
I don't think he understood what I was saying.
bryan callen
But that's kind of remarkable.
joe rogan
Uniquely violent man.
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
You know, he's used to violence.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's a different level of understanding of violence.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
Oh, what did you pull up his background, Jamie?
What is his background?
Look at shooting people.
Look at this.
And cutting throats.
bryan callen
He's no joke.
I'll fuck you up.
joe rogan
First Marine Infantry Paratroopers Regiment, unit of the French Army Special Forces Command.
He served as a French Special Air Service Operator in Maori during the war and more generally in West Africa, fighting terrorist groups.
bryan callen
That's an elite motherfucker, right?
joe rogan
Fighting terrorists.
bryan callen
Boko Haram and stuff.
gordon ryan
Terrorist groups in West Africa.
joe rogan
Jesus.
Christ.
So that's why he's so fucking violent.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
And he's only started in 2004.
unidentified
2017.
brendan schaub
He walked in a gym or two.
joe rogan
Well, I think he had a judo career before that, though.
This is, I think he did judo first, right?
When he was younger, didn't he?
Does it say anything before that?
Yeah, practiced judo.
unidentified
Yeah.
bryan callen
At a good level.
joe rogan
His mother was a teacher.
His father was a French army officer, practiced judo.
So he trained in judo in France and Germany at the age of eight.
Okay, yeah.
Yeah, at the age of eight, and learned a black belt.
Doesn't say at the age of eight, he got a black belt.
It said he beginning at the age of eight, and then he earned his black belt.
He played football and rugby in his youth, so he's a beast.
brendan schaub
I mean, fucking violent dude.
He's a soccer when they say football.
bryan callen
Yeah, he's been moving his body on a high level for a long time.
joe rogan
Yeah, violent dude.
Rugby.
brendan schaub
And also killing dudes in West Africa.
joe rogan
Killing dudes in West Africa.
bryan callen
If you're an SAS guy like that, you were doing that for me.
joe rogan
Yeah, he looks like it.
Like when you talk to him, you know.
bryan callen
It's a very different consideration.
Also, by the way, when you're in wartime like that, you're not as nervous.
You don't expend a lot of energy with the nerves beforehand.
You have more energy.
joe rogan
Well, it's like what you've seen is so much worse than what you're about to do, right?
You're just going to go into a fight.
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
And it's probably the only job that you can do in actual combat.
bryan callen
Which gets you twice.
brendan schaub
When you get to Juf C, you're like, that's what happened.
Yeah.
Name another job you can do where it's going to get you ready like that.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bryan callen
Everything's a step down.
unidentified
Nothing.
joe rogan
Nothing.
Yeah, that's the only thing that's going to make you calm.
unidentified
Fuck.
joe rogan
Having survived war and then fighting in the octagon is a cakewalk.
bryan callen
Yep.
Especially to make it in that elite division.
joe rogan
Well, think about what Francis went through.
Think about what that guy went through.
bryan callen
Didn't he walk through the desert?
joe rogan
He walked through the desert like seven times, dude.
They kept arresting him and bringing him back to the desert.
unidentified
Fuck.
joe rogan
Yeah.
They literally try to kill you.
They try to take you when they capture you in Morocco and then drop you off deep in the desert.
And then every time you get a ride back.
unidentified
God.
joe rogan
He did it seven times over like a long time, like over a year, a year and a half or something as a homeless person.
brendan schaub
There's not going to be a good in that guy.
bryan callen
He doesn't want to quit.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
He's been through.
bryan callen
He's fucked the desert, fuckface.
joe rogan
He was living outside with like a tarp.
And then when he got to France, he told me he was living in a parking garage.
He was sleeping in a parking garage.
He can't come here.
brendan schaub
Dude, how about his fucking luck, right?
His son passes away, which is horrible.
Unthinkable.
Horrible.
And then he's riding a motorcycle, hits a young lady.
She passes away.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
It's fucking terrible.
unidentified
Horrible.
joe rogan
It's so scary.
But it's like, think about what that guy's been through.
And then, like, what is a fight for him?
unidentified
You know?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
But even he, after the Steve Bay Miocic fight, he was kind of fucked up in the head.
brendan schaub
Hell yeah.
joe rogan
And like when he fought Derek Lewis, like barely engaged.
unidentified
Yep.
joe rogan
We thought that fight was going to be KO.
Bro, we were like, here we go.
Like, this one's going to be chaos.
brendan schaub
I think my prediction was this won't go past two minutes.
joe rogan
Yeah, I thought it was going to be hammers.
gordon ryan
Like, the five modern days of Houston Alexander and Kimbo.
Yeah, that's right.
unidentified
Right.
brendan schaub
That's right.
joe rogan
Yeah.
That was a very disappointing fight.
But then he came back after and started starching fools again.
Who did he knock out first?
Was it Junior or Kane?
brendan schaub
Junior, right?
joe rogan
Junior Dos Santos.
Yeah.
He beat the brakes off of Junior.
And then he KO'd Kane.
bryan callen
Well, Kane's leg.
joe rogan
And he KO's fighting.
bryan callen
Did he hit him first and then Kane's leg went?
Or did Kane's leg go and then get hit?
joe rogan
I think he hit him with an uppercut.
And Kane had some knee problems for quite a while.
Kane's body kind of was not strong enough for his mind.
bryan callen
Well, his spine in a cage break it down.
Wasn't his spine in a cage?
joe rogan
I think they had to do some crazy surgery on him.
But the most important thing is that he had a button.
brendan schaub
They posted a picture of him.
He has a gray beard.
He looks normal.
bryan callen
How long is he in prison for?
unidentified
Supposed to get on, I want to say January.
joe rogan
It's crazy that they made him go to jail at all any more than he already went.
brendan schaub
It's just because he was...
gordon ryan
I mean, he shot the wrong guy, right?
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
He shot the stepdad, who's also a creep, but he was firing the gun into the public places, like on the highway, so he's going into the body.
bryan callen
Can't really do that shit.
Can't have that.
brendan schaub
So that's where they got him.
bryan callen
I can't have that.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a bad idea.
You don't want to encourage that.
brendan schaub
Also, if I'm Kane, I have his skill set.
Fuck a gun, dude.
Don't you want to hurt this dude with your bare hand?
bryan callen
I think he wanted to kill him.
brendan schaub
Yeah, do it with your hand.
gordon ryan
I mean, at least planning it a little better.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
gordon ryan
Like, if he planned it a little better, he may have gotten off.
bryan callen
I think it was rage.
I think he found out and he just went, I'm going to go kill this guy.
joe rogan
Yeah, for sure.
I mean, how could you not have that kind of thing?
bryan callen
I just don't understand.
gordon ryan
I get it.
But he didn't kill the guy, and now he's in jail.
joe rogan
Yeah, I know.
That's true.
And the guy got out before Kane did.
The guy was out in the street before Kane went.
gordon ryan
Like, if you're going to kill the guy, fucking.
bryan callen
Put him in the same cell, block as Kane.
Here's your new roommate.
Enjoy this.
joe rogan
A guy like that has to be in protective custody, right?
They'd have to hide him.
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
You touch kids.
joe rogan
Yeah.
You touch kids.
Yeah.
They want to get you.
brendan schaub
But even when he gets out, he's out now.
He has to go into hiding.
The streets will get him.
Especially with Kane, the way he's connected.
Good luck, bud.
Enjoy the rest of your life, you fucking creep.
unidentified
Yeah, it's a horrible, horrible, horrible story.
bryan callen
I don't think you should ever get out, but.
joe rogan
So Kane, back to the physical issues, like he had shoulder problems, knee problems, back problems, neck problems.
And it was just like that guy trained so hard.
brendan schaub
All those boys did.
unidentified
DC, Khabib, Brock, Josh Thompson.
bryan callen
They used to go full, too.
joe rogan
Well, they were so good, too.
And it's like such a lion's den.
A young Makachev was there.
brendan schaub
Like, they're monsters, man.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Yeah, and if you just think about Kane in his prime, though, like when he beat Nog.
brendan schaub
Best heavyweight ever, I think.
joe rogan
One of them.
The real travesty is that we never got to see Kane versus Fedor in their prime.
That was the real travesty.
That would have been the fight.
You know, that is, you know, that's like the fight.
That's the one where you go, yeah, if there was one fight I could have made, yeah, that would have been it.
Kane in his prime versus Fedor in his prime.
Because their primes overlap, too.
brendan schaub
Well, Fedor's kind of towards the end, though, but he was still good.
joe rogan
He was still pretty fucking good when Kane was, when Kane was coming up and Kane became the champ.
Fedor was still Fador.
bryan callen
How would Fedor do now, you think?
joe rogan
But he's, you know, if he's young Fedora?
Young Fedor's going to fuck people up in any generation.
brendan schaub
Now you look at the heavyweight division, like you have Aspinol, speed, power, drop-off.
Like the heavyweight's never been hurt.
joe rogan
However, we don't even know how good Aspinall is.
Like every fight he's had.
brendan schaub
And the poor guy, he just became champion at the wrong time.
There's just nothing for him to prove himself.
bryan callen
He's also so much bigger.
A guy like Aspinall is his frame is so much bigger than Fedor's, I think, right?
brendan schaub
He's a lot of big guys.
bryan callen
Yeah.
He's a big boy.
joe rogan
He's a lot bigger.
bryan callen
265 or something?
joe rogan
He's a lot bigger, but Fedora was a special fighter.
He was special, too.
You need to watch his defense when he fought a Cro Cop.
brendan schaub
You ever see the Crocop, they're both.
joe rogan
Pro Cop Prime?
Throcock was throwing those power high kicks and he would lift his knee all the way up here and catch it.
He was catching a lot of the body kicks on his knee.
His defense in that fight was amazing.
Somebody made a compilation of Fedor's defense that fight.
Like when Crocop hits him with a body kick, he takes out his supporting leg.
He was so good in his, and he could submit guys like that, too.
He'd catch arm bars out of nowhere.
Like he had a fully multifaceted game.
bryan callen
So insane.
joe rogan
Probably the best.
brendan schaub
So explosive too.
joe rogan
The best guy in the heavyweight division ever that could do that, that can transition from a knockout blow to a triangle choke or an arm bar, just like that.
When he catches arm bars, he would catch them.
brendan schaub
Boom.
unidentified
Boom.
bryan callen
They were so fast.
joe rogan
So fast.
He was probably the best heavyweight ever of that, don't you think?
brendan schaub
Yeah, and the shots.
joe rogan
The guy who could do both of those things, like with lightning speed, he was so good, dude.
Those Noguera fights, oh my God.
That was when Noguera was in his prime, son.
Noguera was in his prime, and Fedor just could not be denied.
His grounding power was fucking terrifying.
brendan schaub
The best.
Yeah, the best.
bryan callen
Remember, he fought Orlovsky, who was training with Freddy Roach in affliction.
His boxing was great, and then Fedora just caught him, man.
joe rogan
No, Orlofsky was winning that fight.
bryan callen
I knew what he tried to beat.
I know, I know.
And he was like, fucking God.
joe rogan
Bro, he caught him in the air with a picture-perfect right hand.
bryan callen
And he'd walk out like he just finished playing cards.
It wasn't even warmed up.
He'd just walk out like, I just finished playing cards.
I'm going to beat this guy.
joe rogan
Even in mid-battle, dude, his expression would never change.
bryan callen
Never change.
brendan schaub
You've just seen that slow motion when Kevin Randleman's throwing him on his head and he's just like dead eyes.
Just relaxed mid-air.
bryan callen
He's all been here before.
joe rogan
Never freaked out.
And then within a minute, he came more.
brendan schaub
And then isn't it weird?
His brother just wasn't as good.
joe rogan
No, his brother was a wild tattoo.
unidentified
Better killing people, but he's better.
bryan callen
His brother had better tattoos.
brendan schaub
His brother had tattooed of the Grim Reaper holding the baby.
joe rogan
Yeah, yo.
Did you ever see that?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yo, bro.
brendan schaub
That guy's in some dope.
joe rogan
Does scary shit.
Yeah, there was a lot of dark tattoos that dude had.
brendan schaub
He was scary.
joe rogan
Remember when he fought James Thompson?
James Thompson came out.
James Thompson was an animal.
He came out fucking roa.
And Emilianko just picked him apart.
There was that other big Brazilian cat, too.
Remember that other dude that he flatlined in a similar way?
Big Brazilian guy who was a heavyweight.
gordon ryan
I know he's a drink.
unidentified
Remember that?
gordon ryan
I don't know his name, but yeah.
joe rogan
He flatlined that guy, too.
bryan callen
Watching what it takes.
brendan schaub
Look at what he does now.
joe rogan
I think he was in legal trouble.
Who is this?
Alexander Emilian Echo.
Fedora's brother apparently is a wild fellow.
brendan schaub
He got in some trouble.
gordon ryan
He's a wild fellow.
brendan schaub
He served some time.
bryan callen
But I think Fedora's super close to a Putin.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
bryan callen
So he could probably not be.
Yeah, he probably calls him.
He's like, hey, my brother fucked up again.
Is there any way?
joe rogan
Maybe.
I don't know.
Because that Chechny guy was mad at him once.
bryan callen
The guy.
joe rogan
Kartiov?
bryan callen
Yeah, Kartiov.
joe rogan
He was mad because Fedor criticized them having young kids fight each other.
Oh, interesting.
brendan schaub
Did you see Hamzad when he got his belt and flew back to Chechnya and he gave that warload the belt and he was wearing it?
Like, he was like, thanks, dude.
And then kept it.
unidentified
Yeah.
bryan callen
Yeah, that guy's been sanctioned by more countries than any other ruler.
joe rogan
He's kind of a wild guy to be friends with.
bryan callen
Yeah, I would imagine.
Like the biggest mafia lords.
brendan schaub
You ever see him in Hamzat roll?
bryan callen
No.
Oh, yes, that's good.
Yeah, I did.
That's a good one.
unidentified
I did.
bryan callen
I did.
joe rogan
Bro, how about Hamzad and Saruki and Roland?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
unidentified
Suruki is very good.
bryan callen
That's the guy that Toporia is going to have all the problems with.
All the problems.
unidentified
Yeah, Saruki and Suruki.
brendan schaub
He'll still be favored, though.
joe rogan
Really, really good.
brendan schaub
No, I know he is.
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Toporia will be.
bryan callen
Yes.
brendan schaub
I think he's scared of them.
joe rogan
He's got two erasers.
bryan callen
Yeah.
Yeah.
joe rogan
He's got two erasers.
brendan schaub
And he grew up wrestling.
bryan callen
Yeah.
Surukian can also strike, though, in his wrestling.
brendan schaub
Oh, not like Topuria.
bryan callen
His striking is pretty good.
brendan schaub
His striking is good.
Nobody on this planet would say it's as good as Topirius.
I think where he can get his problems.
bryan callen
Yeah, would you put your money on Taporia, though, in that fight?
brendan schaub
I would have put money on that fight.
joe rogan
I'd say, listen, Saruki knocks people out.
He's a very good striker.
But what Tapuria has is that weird power.
The same thing we were talking about, Pereira.
He's got that weird power.
bryan callen
He does get hit, though.
joe rogan
He does get hit, but he wants to get hit.
He wants to throw himself in there so he can get those counters off because he knows when his land.
brendan schaub
It's over.
joe rogan
So in that sense, you haven't seen those kind of fights.
He stopped three legends in a row.
bryan callen
Legends.
joe rogan
In a row.
bryan callen
Shot him all.
brendan schaub
Max Holloway's never been knocked out.
unidentified
It's one of the greatest three-fight wins.
bryan callen
I think Surukians, I would probably say Surukian's wrestling will get the job done.
brendan schaub
We're not talking about wrestling.
bryan callen
And it might be a boring fight.
brendan schaub
We're not talking about wrestling, though.
Dude, to go from striking.
joe rogan
To go from knocking out Volkanovsky to knocking out Max Holloway to knocking out Oliver Rivera, that is the greatest three-fight win streak in the history of sports.
Chaos, all flat lines.
That's different.
But Sarukian doesn't get hit a lot.
He's a really good wrestler.
His transition is big for the weight class.
unidentified
Yes.
joe rogan
Which is probably why they fucked up in the last one when he got pulled from the fight.
unidentified
That's right.
joe rogan
Because he's probably cutting too much weight.
brendan schaub
But the knock on Suruki would be when he fought Charles Olivera, who Topira just starched.
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Because if that was a five-round fight, he probably would have lost it.
bryan callen
Interesting.
unidentified
Look at this.
brendan schaub
But Surukien's definitely as tough as slow-mo KO.
bryan callen
Oh, my God.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bryan callen
Hit him twice.
Okay.
joe rogan
Bro.
Nobody's ever done that to Olivera like that at 55.
The last time he got KO'd like that was Cub Swanson, probably.
brendan schaub
Old school.
joe rogan
Remember that?
unidentified
Yeah.
That's right.
joe rogan
There was a time where Charlie Olivero was just not all in.
He just wasn't fully focused.
brendan schaub
He had like quit in him.
Once you show signs of quit, you're fucking.
He found it somewhere else.
joe rogan
He found it.
unidentified
He found it.
gordon ryan
It's a very interesting psychological study.
Most guys at that level that quit that overtly, like, don't make it.
brendan schaub
It never comes back.
He's the one guy.
gordon ryan
He turned it around.
brendan schaub
And I held it against him forever.
joe rogan
Until he started picking up.
brendan schaub
I never picked him.
Once I know a guy that's quit in him, I'm like, I'm out.
I never picked him.
And then he kept proving me wrong.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's an extraordinary case.
Very unusual case.
So Soruki and Tabori would be the fight.
But the thing is, I almost think the general public doesn't know enough about Soruki.
bryan callen
That's true.
joe rogan
I almost would say, like, listen, you fucked up.
You didn't make weight.
You're probably a little too big, fella.
Why don't we give you one more contender?
brendan schaub
They did that.
joe rogan
Put on a show.
brendan schaub
They're giving him a fight.
I think it's Hooker.
That's a good one.
joe rogan
That's a good one.
Hooker is a dangerous guy.
Is this going to be a five-rounder?
brendan schaub
I don't know.
joe rogan
Who is Hooker drafted fighting?
Hooker was taking some deep water.
That Hooker Poirier fight, that's an all-time classic.
bryan callen
That's crazy.
joe rogan
That was a classic.
brendan schaub
Five-round made of that.
unidentified
Oh, there it is.
joe rogan
UFC Qatar.
Qatar's bringing that loot.
bryan callen
Damn.
What is Hooker ranked right now?
joe rogan
He's in the top 10, I believe.
What is Dan Hooker?
bryan callen
I'm actually kind of surprised at that fight.
joe rogan
What is Dan Hooker ranked?
Dan Hooker, he's another one of those dudes.
It's just like...
brendan schaub
He's my CTV.
joe rogan
He's a dog.
brendan schaub
He just wants to fight.
He's a guy who'd do bare knuckle.
joe rogan
Yeah, he'll do anything.
brendan schaub
Yeah, he's down for whatever.
joe rogan
He got the win over.
That was a great fight.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
He was scheduled to fight Justin Gaci early this year before withdrawing due to hand injury.
brendan schaub
Yeah, he hurt his hand, remember?
Pulled out.
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's right.
He's a dog.
bryan callen
I watched that Strickland fight with Imovov?
joe rogan
Yeah.
bryan callen
Wow.
joe rogan
Rock and sock'em robot.
Strickland melts guys.
bryan callen
He does.
joe rogan
He puts a pace on guys.
bryan callen
I love the way he fights.
joe rogan
Fuck.
He constantly pushed pressure on you, and he's constantly got you moving backwards.
bryan callen
Hard to hit.
Slips, you know, all that.
joe rogan
What Gordon is talking about with grappling, Strickland employs a lot of that same sort of strategy with the striking.
Like, he keeps you backing up all the time.
Yeah.
There's a factor to it.
Obviously, Pereira knocked him out.
He's more susceptible.
He's not in control of the situation when you have wild strikes coming your way.
But by always having you back up, you're going to get way more tired.
Nobody runs backwards.
gordon ryan
He's a pressure fighter.
unidentified
Yes, he is.
bryan callen
It's right in your head.
brendan schaub
He's a pressure fighter, but he doesn't have the power.
He's a pressure fighter.
gordon ryan
It creates volume.
But look at Nick and Nate.
Nick and Nate did the same thing.
They're not knocking guys out left and right, but they're just constantly walking you down.
joe rogan
And they have better cardio.
And the thing is, it's like all he has to do is just keep hitting you at 50%.
If he hits you a lot at 50%.
And really hard to hit man.
I was going to say that shoulder roll thing.
unidentified
Yeah.
bryan callen
I'm surprised he's not taken down more, but his takedown defense, he's way harder.
gordon ryan
If you look at most of the champions, they have one thing that they're better than almost everybody else in the world at, and they're good, sufficiently good at everything else.
brendan schaub
Yes.
gordon ryan
Strickland's not better than anybody at anything.
Like he's not the best striker.
He's not the best wrestler.
But he just has pressure.
And so much can be said for just walking a guy down and putting pressure.
Now, obviously, a guy like Pereira is used to it.
So he countered him as he was coming in.
But for most guys, he just walks him down and puts pressure.
brendan schaub
Like, dude, Khabib doesn't know.
gordon ryan
Khabib just literally walks that guy.
He doesn't even shuffle.
Like, look at the Khabib versus Edson Barboza.
Like, he knew that Edson wanted to keep him at range to kick him.
So he literally just walked at him so that Edson couldn't shuffle back fast enough, and he was 100% exhausted inside of a round or two.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bryan callen
This is exciting.
joe rogan
It's very exciting.
I spent a lot of pressure on Imam Vov fighting in France.
brendan schaub
And plus, you know, if you put on a good performance, you're going to fight for the title.
joe rogan
Yeah, you're next.
brendan schaub
Like, Dana didn't commit because it's basically a four-man middleweight tournament.
So Dana's not committing.
joe rogan
So he's letting them put on a show.
brendan schaub
He's saying, who wants it more?
bryan callen
Right.
He's a big one.
brendan schaub
If you do it by decision, which most of these guys aren't finishers, these two aren't.
joe rogan
Well, him knocking out Adesania like that was crazy.
I did not expect that.
I thought that was going to be a close fight.
bryan callen
He's every bit of 6-3.
He's a big boy.
Did I watch the contender for the first time?
I never watched that.
brendan schaub
Best fight showing.
bryan callen
It's so great.
brendan schaub
You've never seen it before?
bryan callen
I never have.
brendan schaub
It trumps Ultimate Fighter.
It's not close.
bryan callen
Did you see it?
My boy Jean-Paul LeBozniani got in there, and his dad had been training him forever.
I know.
His dad had been training him since he was seven.
There's a video of him doing it.
And just to watch that kid, he wanted to do everything else.
His dad goes, no, you're going to wrestle and you're going to fight.
And he made it to the UFC.
Fucking jiu-jitsu's sick.
We'll see.
joe rogan
Well, this guy's coming in his own.
You know, it's like, I think the Strickland fight taught him a lesson.
bryan callen
Immobile.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Because Strickland just puts so much pressure on him.
And he's got that.
He's got a weird style, too, where he throws that teeth from the front foot.
Strickland's like constantly teeping you and constantly got you moved.
And he moves back really well when punches are thrown on him.
And he's got his hands like this.
brendan schaub
I want to see bodies out of Strickland.
I'd love to see that fight.
bryan callen
What age do you think fighters pick typically?
brendan schaub
It depends what weight class.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Well, it's wild when they're really lightweight and they're still in it, like Volkadovsky.
brendan schaub
Like usually after 30 at the lighter weights.
joe rogan
What is this, Jamie?
brendan schaub
It's a disaster.
unidentified
That's it.
bryan callen
LeBoz Niani, right this.
So watch this.
You see?
brendan schaub
He won by knockout.
bryan callen
Yeah, he won by knockout.
Check this out.
Jamie, I'm going to send you a video right now.
joe rogan
Did you see that again?
He threw that kick off of the punch, like the kick and punch at the same time.
Watch this.
bryan callen
Jamie, I'm going to send you something.
brendan schaub
See that?
joe rogan
See how he did that?
brendan schaub
Came over the top?
joe rogan
No, he throws the jab and the.
Yeah, he threw it over the top, but he did the jab and the kick at the same time.
Stylebender does that a lot.
bryan callen
And he practices that.
joe rogan
That's such a slick move.
bryan callen
There's a video of him practicing that move with his dad at seven years old.
joe rogan
That's nice.
bryan callen
Watch this.
unidentified
Boom.
joe rogan
Oh, my goodness.
That's nice.
brendan schaub
Yeah, that contender series is awesome.
joe rogan
It's very good.
It's brilliant.
And look how many guys have come out of that and are now fighting in the UFC.
So many.
brendan schaub
Dude, how about that UFC Paramount deal?
joe rogan
Yeah, it's crazy.
unidentified
Great.
joe rogan
It's a lot of money.
What is it, like $7 billion for seven years?
brendan schaub
No.
Because it's basically.
Is it $7 billion?
joe rogan
Well, that's Jamie.
What are you doing, Brian?
unidentified
I got it, Brian.
bryan callen
Check this out.
joe rogan
You're in the middle of this.
brendan schaub
You know, you don't have to walk over to Texas.
joe rogan
Yeah, don't you know his number?
bryan callen
Because I'm a Katie Medica.
joe rogan
Airdrop him or some shit.
bryan callen
Like, so you see this move?
Watch this.
Watch when he's a kid.
Look at this with his dad.
Look at this.
joe rogan
Oh, that's crazy.
bryan callen
Now watch this, Ready?
He's doing his.
This is when he's in first grade.
Now, boom.
joe rogan
Oh, that's crazy.
bryan callen
How cool is that?
joe rogan
Well, those guys that do have that traditional karate background, the thing's a problem.
Karate in particular is that you're not really getting hurt and you're throwing a lot of kicks and you learn leg dexterity.
And it's like, especially like Taekwondo, you learn leg dexterity that regular people don't have.
It's like just how you're talking about there's a level of cardio that you would need to run a marathon and then you think, that's about as good as anybody could ever get.
And then there's guys that come along 100 miles.
There's also that with what you're seeing with MMA, with cardio and MMA.
But it's also that with everything.
It's that with like grappling, with striking, with kicking, with everything.
We're used to like a certain level of it.
But if there's the league like Taekwondo guys really figured out Muay Thai and then wrestling and grappling, you're in trouble.
Like these guys that can throw wild wheel kicks at you and spinning sidekicks to the body.
unidentified
And it's their thing.
joe rogan
And their time in trouble.
Because they've gotten way past the level that everybody else is at.
bryan callen
That's right.
Yeah, I think he rolled with you.
Didn't he, LeBoz Nayani?
Didn't he?
He was like 17, though.
You probably don't remember, but he was very complimentary, obviously.
His jiu-jitsu.
Eddie Brown was telling me about that kid.
That kid's jiu-jitsu is so crazy, though.
And now he's in the UFC.
joe rogan
We have Gordon Ryan's Abu Dhabi belt right there.
bryan callen
Damn.
joe rogan
Donated to the studio.
Look at that, son.
gordon ryan
I guess I have somebody now just giving that as gifts.
bryan callen
That's amazing.
joe rogan
Is someone out there, some doctor, fix his tummy, please?
gordon ryan
Fuck, for real.
You have one, and then I'm waiting.
They have, I'm waiting.
Like, I'm going to give Trump one.
joe rogan
Oh, wow.
That's hilarious.
That's hilarious.
brendan schaub
Joe, how many people?
joe rogan
I love that it's gold.
brendan schaub
I love it that it's gold.
How many people are hitting you up for those White House tickets?
joe rogan
Oh, quite a few.
Hey.
bryan callen
How about your boys over here?
joe rogan
You probably won't pass any kind of tests that you need to get in there.
bryan callen
No, we've been to the White House.
Chop and I have been to the White House.
joe rogan
Who invited you to the White House?
bryan callen
Some guy who is a doctor.
He was a fan, but he was a Secret Service guy.
unidentified
Oh, wow.
bryan callen
Got us in there.
brendan schaub
I was all up in there.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
brendan schaub
All the rooms.
bryan callen
When Obama was.
brendan schaub
It's weird.
Yeah.
joe rogan
When Obama was president.
bryan callen
That was that long ago.
joe rogan
That's wild.
brendan schaub
That was when Bush was dead.
bryan callen
Dude.
joe rogan
That's wild.
What is all this talk about them arresting Obama?
What is all this?
bryan callen
Silly.
brendan schaub
Is it real?
bryan callen
No, it's not.
brendan schaub
No, it's lies.
joe rogan
Are they really going to start doing that?
Going to arrest in former presidents.
bryan callen
That's a good idea.
unidentified
By the way, after arresting every one of them, that's a lie.
bryan callen
Yeah.
That warfare, that legal warfare.
Look at the size of Barlow.
He's 6'4.
joe rogan
That'd be a good fight, son.
He's a big boy.
Again, these guys are both 185.
Okay, this is crazy.
They're not 185.
These are 200-plus-pound guys.
bryan callen
Him sucking weight is so hard for him, Barhalo?
joe rogan
Borgalio.
Yeah, it looks like him.
He looks like a 200-pound guy.
brendan schaub
Bojalio is also 32.
unidentified
Is he 32?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Is that true?
brendan schaub
I think it was like a young kid.
bryan callen
Wow, Imavov is 20-something, 27.
brendan schaub
28, I think.
29, maybe?
joe rogan
This is a good fight, man.
bryan callen
It's a good fight.
Very good fight.
Man.
Borjalio is really, really explosive.
Look at him.
Probably the better athlete.
joe rogan
I wonder how much it fucks with them watching Ruffie get tapped right before.
brendan schaub
That's what I was just thinking.
It can't be good.
Your first loss with the nerds?
joe rogan
I know, and he's a good friend of yours.
Yeah.
Training partner.
brendan schaub
And you all went through training camp for this night a little bit?
And he gets mud stomped?
joe rogan
Right.
And maybe you know how you go with him.
bryan callen
Mud stomped?
brendan schaub
Well, you just get your shit pushed in, and you're like, oh, we just did an entire camp not to get taken down.
And then that guy, we didn't last a chance.
There's definitely some doubt in that.
You're like, oh, shit, our camp's not the best.
unidentified
Yeah.
bryan callen
Bro, it's huge.
joe rogan
What was Imam Vov's kickboxing background before he became an MMA fighter?
He has a background in striking, right?
Am I wrong?
brendan schaub
No, he has a background in striking.
joe rogan
Because it doesn't matter.
It certainly looks like it.
When I'm looking at the way, I mean, everything looks real.
Like that stutter step that he did before he delivered that right hand, that's really high level, man.
And look at how he throws that front teep to the body.
He's fucking good, man.
brendan schaub
Remember, Strickland beat him.
I think Strickland took it on short notice.
joe rogan
Bro, Strickland puts that pressure on you.
I'm telling you.
And it's a different style.
It's a weird fucking style.
brendan schaub
Remember that fight?
joe rogan
Strickland kind of broke him.
Yeah, he kind of broke him.
I think he just overwhelmed his cardio to the point where he became defensive.
That's what I would say.
unidentified
Man.
joe rogan
Because Strickland just keeps that pressure on him.
Look what he did to Izzy.
Same shit.
He keeps that pressure on you.
brendan schaub
See, that'd be a good fight, Frizzy.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
I think Izzy wants that fight.
I think they're actually talking about that fight.
brendan schaub
Because Strickland's suspension's up in November or something like that.
unidentified
Look at the same thing.
brendan schaub
Anger management.
joe rogan
For jumping in the ring and punching some anger management.
gordon ryan
I don't know if it's true, but I saw a thing on the internet.
It could be fake.
It also could very well be real.
That he got kicked out of anger management because he kept threatening to fight the teacher.
joe rogan
I think that was just a meme.
Borgalio almost got the trip.
Yeah, almost got that trip.
But Imovov is no joke, man.
No joke grappling, too.
Good defense.
But standing up, he seems to have an advantage.
gordon ryan
He's doing a really good job of keeping you on the fence.
bryan callen
Musasio.
joe rogan
Yeah, a little bit, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
That was a guy that didn't get his flowers.
That was a guy who did not get his flowers.
bryan callen
Fucking kids.
joe rogan
Gagard Musasi was a fucking animal.
bryan callen
You know, who used to train with Fedor.
joe rogan
Oh, really?
bryan callen
Yep.
joe rogan
That makes sense.
brendan schaub
Remember Musasi, we started the big dick energy rumor about him?
unidentified
Yes.
brendan schaub
And then his manager told me he was, yeah, he loved it.
joe rogan
Of course he loved it.
We're saying he probably has a big dick, and he probably does, man.
bryan callen
Sure, he don't wear hats.
brendan schaub
He's so smart.
joe rogan
So smart, man.
gordon ryan
Very well read.
joe rogan
Yeah, and very high fight IQ, too.
Just intelligent, his approach to fighting, but ferocious.
brendan schaub
But then he went to Bellator or Peter.
joe rogan
Did he put him on the shelf there?
brendan schaub
Forever, dude.
He was going to sue him to get out.
joe rogan
But he's too old now.
Like, how old is he now?
brendan schaub
He's fucked up.
He wastes like three years in there.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
How old is Gegard Musasi now, Jamie?
unidentified
54?
joe rogan
Then when he knocked out Wideman?
brendan schaub
Fuck it.
Remember, knocked out Jock Ray Souza?
bryan callen
But Souza then got worn, though.
joe rogan
What's that?
bryan callen
He's 40.
joe rogan
40.
Yeah, 40.
unidentified
It's over.
joe rogan
It's over.
I mean, if you're claiming.
bryan callen
Oh, oh, oh.
Nice shot.
joe rogan
You can fight in other organizations.
Keep the facts.
Train kept a rolling.
I feel fantastic.
bryan callen
Remember when Souza put him in that guillotine, though?
Just like Jock Ray just caught him, and it was like crazy.
joe rogan
Well, you know, Jock Ray is Jock Ray.
unidentified
Yeah.
bryan callen
Yeah, he's a beast.
I can't believe Johnny.
brendan schaub
Did you see Strickland's tweet about Rampage's son?
He's like, we're both head to anger management.
Just one of us is going to have a felony on their record.
gordon ryan
Or one of us is going to be able to own a gun afterwards.
bryan callen
It's a good fight, man.
joe rogan
Yeah, Bahalio's closing the distance now.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
This is interesting.
So there's a thing about him breaking when he fought Strickland.
If you think he broke.
brendan schaub
He melted, yeah.
joe rogan
Like, did he, but did he just run out of cardio or did he lose his enthusiasm?
bryan callen
He was giving as good as he was getting, though.
They were socking it out to the last minute.
brendan schaub
But he broke him.
He broke him.
Yeah.
joe rogan
I mean, he certainly overwhelmed him.
He certainly overwhelmed him.
brendan schaub
But you can tell just the guy's from his face when he wants out.
joe rogan
It's also an intelligent thing.
It's an intelligence thing.
If you know that you don't have enough left, like here's an example.
Last round of Strickland versus Adesanya.
Strickland's like, fuck it, come on.
unidentified
Come on.
joe rogan
He's coming towards him.
Is he going to do?
Yeah, all right.
Let's do it.
Knock me out.
Like, fuck that.
Like, you're exhausted.
You got dropped in the first round.
You're losing the fight.
You know, you're losing the fight.
Stay defensive.
Just get out of there.
You could say, oh, he broke him, but isn't that just a smart move?
If you don't have anything left, if you can't do it, like you know, you're too fucking tired to fight the guy off.
Are you supposed to?
What are you supposed to do?
Throw yourself into the fire?
I mean, you could try that.
That doesn't usually work.
brendan schaub
How many guys play?
joe rogan
But the thing is, it's like you want a guy, but you want a guy who just wants to fight to the end, too.
So it's like.
bryan callen
It's more entertaining.
joe rogan
I know.
It's like, what do you, what, what do you favor?
Do you favor intelligence and tactics and live to fight another day?
Do you look at it in terms of an entire career?
Like, if you just decide to throw down right there and you're exhausted and you know you're exhausted and you only got a couple of seconds of haymakers in you, and then you get KO'd and flatline, you're at the jaw, you get your jaw wired shot at the hospital.
brendan schaub
You're spending time with it.
bryan callen
I love seeing fighters that don't get hit.
Like that skill, the ability to take less damage to me is what now, as somebody who's such a fan of fighting, that's what I love.
joe rogan
Right.
But then you have Max Halloween last round.
Penny has done winning the fight, points at the ground, and the universe rewards him with a highlight real KO of just strikers will, in general, be bigger stars than grapplers.
brendan schaub
Always.
gordon ryan
But grapplers will, in general, be more successful.
brendan schaub
Yeah, they have a higher winning percentage for sure.
But the stars are always strikers.
Always, always, always.
gordon ryan
Look at Connor, look at Izzy.
unidentified
Always.
brendan schaub
The biggest stars are always striking.
Yep.
unidentified
Always.
joe rogan
Yeah, they put on that.
brendan schaub
Well, that's the casuals.
That's what they know.
Like, oh, he punches him.
He knocks.
bryan callen
Oh, man, I don't care who you are.
It's such a, everybody's so talented now.
It's just crazy.
joe rogan
I know.
It's really interesting, man.
You know, it's that way with everything.
It's that way with everything.
bryan callen
Because they're watching each other.
brendan schaub
Even my son at nine years old, like, you watch these baseball players.
You're like, these kids are fucking nine.
This is how good everybody is?
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Because they specialize.
bryan callen
It's like singers.
joe rogan
They specialize in it also.
They get to see what it looks like on YouTube.
I think that's a big thing.
bryan callen
I agree.
joe rogan
I think everybody watching everybody is making everybody else way better.
gordon ryan
Because there's a lot more shared knowledge now.
bryan callen
Yes.
joe rogan
Way more.
brendan schaub
Because when we were coming up, it was like, whatever the best kid in the neighborhood, if I was the best kid, it's like, oh, man, this is your medical.
That's so good.
But I didn't see the kid in fucking Cuba playing it.
And now the kids are privy to it.
They're like, oh, shit.
bryan callen
We got people like Gordon Ryan breaking down jujitsu.
gordon ryan
There's a kid in jiu-jitsu.
His name is, the name is Daniel220Volt, I think it is on Instagram.
Dude, he's like fucking eight years old.
He's like shredded with an APAC.
And he's doing like flying arm bars and shit on hits.
joe rogan
It's fucking insane.
That's so cool.
gordon ryan
He's got like 600,000 followers.
He's like nine years old.
joe rogan
That's Eddie.
gordon ryan
So he just goes in and just crushes it.
brendan schaub
But to that point, the kids are pushing themselves so much now and specializing in each sport, and they're getting fucking good.
But like Tommy John's surgery is up 80% with kids under 13 years old.
joe rogan
Oh, they're doing it on purpose?
Just to give them an advantage?
brendan schaub
Some of them, and then some of them, because they're throwing so hard now.
joe rogan
This is a kid.
bryan callen
Who's this dude?
Oh, my God.
gordon ryan
There's one.
Try to find the one where he's doing a flying arm bar.
It's pretty recent.
It's up at the top.
brendan schaub
Look how Jack is in that one.
gordon ryan
There's one.
Oh, just look at this.
brendan schaub
Oh, my God.
joe rogan
We're missing out on a good fight talking.
unidentified
We're talking about sorry, this looks like a fight going on.
joe rogan
The kid was never training.
Or Hollywood just landed a right hand.
bryan callen
We touched on a lot of subjects.
joe rogan
Yeah.
The thing about a guy like Imamov that I was going to get at with the cardio is much like Connor, like these guys that are real fast and explosive, that is like sprinting.
brendan schaub
Oh, correct.
joe rogan
That was a nice ride to the bottom.
bryan callen
You can't do both.
unidentified
You're not going to find a guy with crazy knockout power.
joe rogan
Right.
So the difference between him and Murab is Murab just kind of mauls you.
Yeah, he's moving fast and powerful, but once he gets a shot or two off, he's shooting.
brendan schaub
Shoot every time, no matter what.
joe rogan
And that pressure.
That pressure is going to make his strikes even more effective because you never know when the strikes are coming.
bryan callen
You know, boxers used to do this thing they still do where they run for like an hour and a half and you keep your heart weight at a certain level, not super high.
And that's how you build new capillaries and stuff.
Lance Armstrong would do that too.
joe rogan
Yeah, they call it, what do they call that?
Zone two training.
bryan callen
Yeah, overtraining.
brendan schaub
UFC fighters do that.
bryan callen
Yeah, for the longest time.
The boxers would do it for like literally run an hour and a half and stuff.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but UFC guys do that.
bryan callen
Really?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
I think all elite athletes in all sports are doing stuff.
brendan schaub
Yeah, all the secrets are.
Wow.
joe rogan
There's no.
bryan callen
Yeah, now the secrets are the talent.
joe rogan
Like the technical, when you look at how technical everybody is now, like this fight right now, this is an awesome fight.
If these guys were just kickboxers, this would be an awesome.
This is like a high-level fight.
unidentified
Yep.
bryan callen
And they're not, their cardio is great.
Like, look at this.
brendan schaub
They're both still early.
It's the second round.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
There's another.
bryan callen
There's not a lot of wrestling.
joe rogan
Very smart, Chaleson quote.
He was saying that no one can fight full blast for 25 minutes.
It's just too long.
unidentified
Fighting.
brendan schaub
It's Rob Begs that differ.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's what I was going to get to.
It's like, okay, but isn't that like no one can, if you run a marathon, you will die.
I'll tell you right now, you want to run 26 miles.
Your kidneys will dysfunction.
bryan callen
That's right.
joe rogan
You will bleed out of your pancreas and you will die.
There's people that'll tell you that, right?
bryan callen
Cam Haynes ran 220 miles or something like that?
unidentified
More.
joe rogan
Yeah.
He's run more.
I think the Bigfoot 240 is 238.
bryan callen
I hung with him in Eugene.
Oh, nice right hand.
joe rogan
Oh, right hand back.
Oh, they both landed good shots there.
Oh, Imavov.
bryan callen
Dude, this is good.
How do you score this fight?
I don't even fucking know.
joe rogan
We barely paid attention.
We were watching little kids strangle each other.
We were watching little kids do armbars.
unidentified
I think we should go back to the vaccines.
bryan callen
Let's get past that.
I knew we were going to touch on it.
joe rogan
When I was a kid, you know, when martial arts was on television, it was on TV.
Maybe like PKA karate would be on TV.
Remember those days, like on ESPN?
Like maybe once a month on a Saturday, you'd watch two dudes in karate pants throw bad kicks at each other.
bryan callen
Yep.
joe rogan
Imagine like kids growing up and seeing this now.
bryan callen
I know.
joe rogan
From the time they're like babies, they're seeing elite level MMA.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
Elite level grappling, striking.
And then if they're like become fans and they get crazy, then they get fight pass.
They start watching UFC, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
brendan schaub
You know what the big difference now is?
There's the UFC video game.
So like I learned sports through video games.
Me and my brother play Madden or Tech Mobile, so I knew everything about football, the rules, everything.
All the players.
But now they have the UFC game.
So my kids know who Hamzad is.
Not when he fights, from the video game.
So when they see him like, oh, there's Hamzat, because they pick him all the time in the game.
unidentified
That's crazy.
brendan schaub
And they know to use his wrestling.
joe rogan
That's crazy.
brendan schaub
Through the video game.
joe rogan
But that makes sense.
gordon ryan
Yeah.
I played like, I don't know, 10 years ago, I played the first UFC video game.
And I would just get so fucking mad because I couldn't do the moves on the ground that I know how to do.
I'm like, fucking, what's the board of the buttons?
joe rogan
That was a nice right hand.
unidentified
Yeah, it was.
bryan callen
Look at that.
joe rogan
That was a good right hand back by Bahanyo.
It was a good fight.
bryan callen
Yeah, it is.
brendan schaub
I play some of the stuff.
joe rogan
They've never figured out a way.
There's probably not a way until they get something that can really change your actual experience, like what you're seeing, where they could make a virtual reality game with grappling.
But you can with striking, at least with boxing.
They have those.
It's fucking good, dude.
It's good.
brendan schaub
I'm dripping and so on.
joe rogan
It's competitive.
Like this thing's coming at you, throwing punches at you.
You'd like it, Brian.
brendan schaub
You look ridiculous, but yeah.
joe rogan
You look ridiculous.
bryan callen
I've done it.
It's great.
joe rogan
Yeah, but you hold your gloves the wrong way, unfortunately, because if you punch normal, like the gloves are like upside down.
bryan callen
But it's a workout.
joe rogan
It's a real workout.
brendan schaub
Oh, he hurt him.
joe rogan
He hurt him.
He hurt him.
bryan callen
Yeah.
Snapped his head back.
unidentified
Oh, now you're seeing blood.
bryan callen
Body shot, nice.
Oh, shit.
joe rogan
Bro, Imavov looks good.
bryan callen
Yeah, he does.
brendan schaub
He does.
bryan callen
Yeah, he does.
joe rogan
Bohalio looks like he's recovered, though.
He's dirty.
brendan schaub
He's getting touched.
joe rogan
He's getting touched.
brendan schaub
And I just don't think either of these guys beat Hamza.
bryan callen
Yeah, they got to deal with that whole wrestling thing.
Good luck with that.
Good luck to everybody.
That's a really hard puzzle to solve.
joe rogan
I think for a guy like Imavov, too, what we're seeing is this version of him that learned a lot from the Strickland fight.
You know?
I mean, think a guy like that.
bryan callen
We got kneading the balls.
joe rogan
Did he?
bryan callen
Yep.
joe rogan
I think a guy like that goes through a loss like that and is like, okay, I got to up my cardio.
I got to up my pace.
I got to not let people push me around.
I got to learn from that.
I didn't expect that.
Because if you see Strickland on the outside, you don't know what that is.
brendan schaub
I think that's where fighters make their biggest growth.
Either they make so much growth and get so much better and become contenders, or they go the fucking opposite.
That's why I'm hoping happens with Bo Nickel.
If I have to watch him fucking strike again, I'm going to freak the fuck out.
unidentified
Dude, use your goddamn grappling, man.
brendan schaub
Get with someone to help you with your grappling.
gordon ryan
They put him in there fast, too.
joe rogan
Super fast.
gordon ryan
Like, RDR is fine.
brendan schaub
It's the UFC, baby.
But that's the thing.
Like, Ed Swara says it.
Like, if you go to the UFC, be ready to fight anybody they offer you.
Don't say no to anybody.
Otherwise, don't come.
joe rogan
But is that smart?
If you're developing a fighter?
bryan callen
Makes no sense.
joe rogan
It's not really smart.
But the thing is, like, some guys can pull it off like John, right?
So John did it.
You know, I remember John against Gustafsson or Bonner?
No, Gusmau.
Like one of his first fights.
And I remember thinking, like, where's this guy coming from?
Like, this is crazy.
This guy is so good.
brendan schaub
Well, when you saw him against Jake O'Brien.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Boom.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Oh, bro.
He was special.
So that guy got thrown right into the fire.
22 years old fights Shogun, you know, in New Jersey, wins the title.
It's crazy.
brendan schaub
But you're in the big leagues.
joe rogan
But he's a freak.
Most guys, if you were raising them and training them, you would, you know, if you were raising them through their career, you'd be like, we need to talk to you.
We need to test you against the real Sun.
brendan schaub
But they've done that with Patty Pimlett now.
They've done well with him.
They do well with Sugar Sean O'Malley because I think the UFC's learned.
Like with Darren Tild, such a talent.
Look at what he's doing now.
They pushed him way too fast.
Way too fucking fast.
And it fucks these guys up.
joe rogan
Bro, Till can fucking strike.
brendan schaub
He can crack, man.
He's made a career for himself.
joe rogan
He can strike.
Yeah.
And that knockout of Luke Rockholt was crazy.
That was crazy.
brendan schaub
I think the UFC did learn, but the UFC can only do so much.
They can only do so much.
And Sugar Sean, they go, all right, here's Peter Young.
joe rogan
I think Darren had knee problems, too.
I think that's part of the thing.
brendan schaub
He asked for his release so he could get on that SIE and get his injuries and heal up.
joe rogan
Oh, that makes sense.
brendan schaub
Because he's like, I can't do this.
You guys are testing me all the time.
Release me.
They didn't cut him.
He asked for his release.
Most people think he was cut.
He asked for his release.
joe rogan
Oh, that makes sense.
brendan schaub
And now he's just starching dudes outside the UFC.
joe rogan
Bro, he looks so good against Rockhold.
I'm like, this guy might have a career as a legitimate boxer.
He started off as a Muay Thai guy.
bryan callen
He actually had some boxing bouts, too.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's legit, man.
Man, he's fucking crouched next.
Yeah, Carl Froch, but Carl Froch is 150 years old.
bryan callen
You guys are missing out.
These guys are in each other's grill right now.
joe rogan
I know we are missing out.
bryan callen
They're at mid-distance here, just banging it out.
Great defense.
Bro, how's defense is outstanding, man?
brendan schaub
I just think this is great.
I just think Comzotte eats these guys up.
He takes them down.
bryan callen
He takes them down.
If you're that close to him, he finishes both of them.
brendan schaub
It just is what it is.
bryan callen
You think so?
That's it.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Bro, he looks good.
But it's the difference in his feints, like as he's moving in.
Everything's very precise.
bryan callen
Very much.
joe rogan
He does.
bryan callen
I like that move.
joe rogan
That's nice.
Oh, I pose.
brendan schaub
You like his footwork, right, Joe?
joe rogan
His tight running steps.
He's got this stutter step that he does when he's coming in, where you think he's coming in, then you relax a second, and he lulls you to sleep a little bit.
brendan schaub
Yeah, it's high level.
bryan callen
This kid is a stud.
Oh, that sucks.
unidentified
See, this is where you're like, let that time run, baby.
joe rogan
Let's get this lung capacity back.
Let's slow this heart rate down.
Let him boo.
bryan callen
That's fine.
unidentified
Right?
joe rogan
If you're in his corner.
bryan callen
Yep.
unidentified
Let him boo.
brendan schaub
No one ever takes a full five ever.
It's never been done.
joe rogan
Really?
brendan schaub
It's never been done.
joe rogan
That's crazy.
brendan schaub
No one's taking the full five.
unidentified
Wow.
brendan schaub
It's a lot of pressure.
gordon ryan
Dude, five minutes was a long time when you're in there.
It never fucking.
brendan schaub
And plus the crowd, like I've been kicked in the nuts by Gonzaga.
I poked in the eye by Krokop.
joe rogan
That's fine.
brendan schaub
And you think you want the five minutes and the crowd's like, fuck you.
You're like, okay, I'm good.
No, I'm fine.
I'm good.
And you're not.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
unidentified
God, these guys are evenly matched.
gordon ryan
That's a pretty deep shot.
bryan callen
Yeah, it was.
gordon ryan
They're so good.
He got in well, but he didn't fully commit to it.
joe rogan
And we are only in round three of a five-round fight.
bryan callen
He doesn't want his gas.
I really don't know how I'd score this at this point.
joe rogan
Because we haven't been paying attention to it.
bryan callen
No, I've been watching it.
brendan schaub
From the small fraction I've seen, Immova's up two rounds.
unidentified
Really?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, I thought he definitely won that last round.
He's landing the more effective strikes.
brendan schaub
But again, you ain't getting a title shot against Hamzat fighting like this.
It's just not the same.
joe rogan
It depends on how it ends.
bryan callen
Yeah, correct.
gordon ryan
Who's RDR fighting again?
brendan schaub
Fluffy Hernandez.
bryan callen
Oh, there you go.
brendan schaub
And this is where, and again, who knows, Joe?
You know, you're the expert.
But when you said RDR is the best matchup, I think it's his easiest.
unidentified
Really?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
I think he got him out cold.
Oh, standing.
unidentified
Yeah.
gordon ryan
I don't think he bothers.
bryan callen
Who's that?
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a good point.
gordon ryan
He's been knocked out before.
He did drop by Whitaker.
joe rogan
And the difference between his stand-up versus Hamza stand-up is pretty significant.
gordon ryan
Also, the fact that RDR will be concerned about the takedown means that he's going to be timid to really open up standing.
joe rogan
Yeah.
gordon ryan
If you watch what Hamzat does to those guys, like those, the second he does start to get comfortable standing is when Hamza put him down.
joe rogan
That Mershot fight.
brendan schaub
He went, whoop, bam!
joe rogan
Yeah, when he knows he's got an instruction strike, he can strike.
It's clean.
brendan schaub
He loves to strike, like even against DDP.
He's like, let me fucking light this guy up.
Srukin's like, no, no, no, just keep doing what you're doing, dude.
Let's get the check and get the fuck out of him.
But he's getting all this criticism from the fan base.
You're boring, boring champion.
He's like, I'm boring?
Hanson?
Okay.
Okay.
Watch this.
And RDRs, I'm like, yeah, let's do it.
joe rogan
A lot of pressure on him to stay winning, though, too.
brendan schaub
He has the pedigree to do it.
joe rogan
Yeah, he does.
gordon ryan
I mean, once you're a champion, that's the most important thing.
joe rogan
Yes.
gordon ryan
Just keep winning.
brendan schaub
Now you're making real money.
And I'm curious what the UFC is going to do with the payout because his pay-per-view points before, and now that's gone.
gordon ryan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
You know?
joe rogan
Right.
Do you think they do it based on how many people watch?
brendan schaub
That's weird, right?
joe rogan
But that's the best way to do it.
Right?
So it's like ratings on a TV show.
If you got friends' ratings, you get a lot of money.
brendan schaub
You get a percentage of that ad revenue?
joe rogan
I don't know how you would do it.
brendan schaub
It's way above my pay grade.
joe rogan
I don't know how you would do it, but I would imagine something like that would be reasonable.
Like the idea is that if more money is being acquired by the company, if they're making more money now, it would be great if the fighters got paid more money.
That just makes sense.
brendan schaub
And I think the UFC is going to do that.
They're going to do it.
Even if the UFC doubled everybody's pay, they're still only putting out 50% of overall pay.
So for the UFC, it's a win-win.
bryan callen
Burrow is winning this.
Barrel is more busy with this, man.
He's way more busy.
joe rogan
He looks good in this round.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
And that's the thing.
It's like these rounds, you know, this is only a minute in, and this is the fourth.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
So there's got a lot of fighting left to go.
bryan callen
And Barrow's been busy.
brendan schaub
But Joe, you'll hear, you'll hear guys argue fighter pay and they compare it to the NFL and NBA and they go, it should be 50-50.
And I don't agree with that.
Because any league that's ever done above what the UFC's done, they're all out of business.
There's only one promotion ever in the history of fighting that makes a profit.
It's the UFC.
And it's not the NFL.
It's not the NBA.
It's different.
So it's hard to argue that they should do it any different.
Again, even if they doubled everybody's pay, it's still only 15% of profit.
They can do it.
It's nothing.
gordon ryan
And you can always fight somewhere else.
brendan schaub
That's a tricky one.
You could.
unidentified
Yeah.
You could.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a good argument.
But then it's like, would you want to look at your overall career, like what your potential for stardom is?
There's no question.
If you go to just elite guys, they got paid really well in the PFL that nobody knows who they are.
And maybe they made more money than the UFC, but they won't get the same kind of sponsors.
They won't get the same.
brendan schaub
It's not even close.
You're basically, you went from the NFL to CFL.
gordon ryan
Yeah.
I mean, I see both sides, but at the end of the day, if you want to make Connor money, do Connor Ship.
brendan schaub
Correct.
joe rogan
That's true.
Oh, Bohalio just caught him with a right hook.
Oh, boy.
bryan callen
Damn, Imohovski is back, though.
joe rogan
Oh, these dudes are throwing down.
bryan callen
Damn.
joe rogan
These dudes are throwing down.
unidentified
God.
bryan callen
Excellent.
Jalio's.
His defense, bro.
joe rogan
He's such a high-level fight.
bryan callen
They're both their defense is really good.
Really good.
They're just strictly boxing, basically, right now.
joe rogan
Yeah, not a whole lot of kicks.
No.
bryan callen
Too close.
brendan schaub
Also, neither guy can get the other down.
They've tried.
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
It's also tiring.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Imaval was throwing some kicks earlier.
He threw a lot of front kicks to the body, too.
brendan schaub
They keep tying up like this, but there's no like real shots, you know.
joe rogan
Right, they're just grappling in this cage.
brendan schaub
Getting rest.
bryan callen
Both have great cardio.
Exhausting.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
joe rogan
Oh.
unidentified
Dude.
joe rogan
Damn, that was a nice one.
bryan callen
That was clown.
That connected.
Oh, God.
brendan schaub
Somebody's going to get their opening up now.
joe rogan
Oh, these boys are swinging.
They're very close to getting cracked.
Each one of those punches is missing by an inch.
unidentified
Yep.
bryan callen
God.
joe rogan
This is when it's the most terrifying event.
If a guy has a giant advantage when you're deep into the fourth and you're exhausted and he's got a giant striking advantage.
bryan callen
He just got caught again.
joe rogan
And maybe you tried taking him down and it didn't work out.
brendan schaub
So Imavov was born in Dagestan, but then moved to France.
Is that how his French citizenship?
When he was not.
Okay, that's a long ass time.
joe rogan
From when he's not.
Yeah, but that's enough.
He got the soul of the country in his bones.
unidentified
Culture of work ethic.
joe rogan
Well, it's like, what a history of combat sports, man.
brendan schaub
Dagestan?
joe rogan
Yeah, it's crazy.
bryan callen
Hilarious.
joe rogan
It's not a big place.
bryan callen
Armenia, Azerbaijan.
joe rogan
Armenia.
How many Armenians have been fighters?
Both fight wrestling and boxing, wrestling, kickboxing, MMA.
bryan callen
Huge part of the culture.
Same with Azerbaijan, same with Dogs.
joe rogan
I used to love Armenians back in LA.
They were real men.
bryan callen
They're great.
joe rogan
They were men.
They were men men.
brendan schaub
Did you ever see in this like probably two years ago in LA?
They tried bringing like the trans shit into Armenian district.
Did you see what happened?
Did you see all the hairy Armenians?
Just a line of G-Wagons show up to the school.
joe rogan
Just cologne and Glendale.
bryan callen
They don't fucking enjoy it.
Armenians aren't here in a penny.
brendan schaub
No, they rioted.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
They're like, no, this ain't what happened.
bryan callen
Nah, not with our kids.
brendan schaub
Schoolbird, but our bad.
Yeah, bitch.
bryan callen
Good luck with that.
Don't fuck with the Armenians.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bryan callen
They're tight.
They're a tight group.
joe rogan
Tight group.
bryan callen
Yep.
Had to be.
brendan schaub
Yeah, they tried bringing in like the safe rooms in Armenians.
joe rogan
Oh, oh, just caught him with a nice left hook and a right hand.
unidentified
God, they're a couple rugged fucks.
bryan callen
Their faces look pretty clean.
brendan schaub
Barrio's a little more beat up.
unidentified
Yeah.
Dude, kidding me right now?
gordon ryan
But imagine how much of time, like, imagine how much time this takes off your fighting career versus if they just grappled the whole fight.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
Well, not just your fighting career, man.
gordon ryan
Your actual life.
Your life.
brendan schaub
Yeah, your brain.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
I mean, this is a car accident.
When you think about the kind of pressure that this fight puts on your, just everything.
Your lungs, your heart, your brain, your bones.
bryan callen
But what a thing, right?
brendan schaub
But you're not even considering the eight weeks in camp.
joe rogan
Right.
You go in the fights just part of it.
brendan schaub
The camp fucks you up.
If you have hard enough training partners, you're getting fucked up in camp.
joe rogan
What was the worst injury you ever went into a fight with?
brendan schaub
I got knocked out three days before I fought Nogero.
Oh, my God.
And I got knocked out four days before I fought Rothwell.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
brendan schaub
Shane Carwin, sir.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
bryan callen
That is so I would watch him spar these giants, and they would go full, and I was just like so horrified.
And you didn't even warm up.
You guys would just start banging.
I was like, leaving fucking kidding.
joe rogan
That is so ridiculous.
bryan callen
He literally wouldn't warm up.
I'm not kidding.
joe rogan
That's so ridiculous to fight three days after being KO'd.
That's so crazy.
brendan schaub
We just didn't know any better.
And then people are like, oh, shop doesn't have a chin.
It's like, yeah, yes and no.
Fuck you.
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
I got knocked out by Carwin right before this.
bryan callen
You had your fucking nose shattered by Crocop.
joe rogan
It's just such a nutty sport, man.
bryan callen
Yeah, it is.
joe rogan
Last round.
brendan schaub
It's also the best sport.
joe rogan
It's the best sport.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
I mean, it's everything.
bryan callen
The thing is, sparring in practice, it's everything.
Yeah, it requires everything.
That's for sure.
joe rogan
Well, the thing is, it's like it transcends all languages, cultures, everything.
Everybody can watch this and know exactly what's happening.
brendan schaub
But also, to your point, Joe, you're watching this.
You're knowing these guys are taking years off their lives.
That's what you're dealing with.
bryan callen
I love when people say horseback riding uses every muscle in your body.
joe rogan
Like, there's some fights, like Justin Gage, Tony Ferguson, that are hard to watch.
bryan callen
Yeah.
unidentified
Right?
joe rogan
It's hard to watch.
That's horrible.
bryan callen
It should have been stopped.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Well, that's also how this game goes.
joe rogan
That's how the game goes.
He's tough.
He didn't want to quit.
He was trying to fight to the bitter end.
Oh, fucking nice one.
gordon ryan
Warrior and Robbie Lawler.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
That's the ultimate example.
brendan schaub
That's a great example.
unidentified
But that's also like, that's like he lost five years of the other.
bryan callen
Boxing, they would have stopped in the game.
brendan schaub
That's the name of the fucking game.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
But it's like when it's expressed that purely, it's like something special to watch.
I mean, it's a horrifically violent fight.
bryan callen
The two fights that one was the Ferguson Gaci fight and the other was the Ortega Olafsky Volkanovsky fight.
That was awful.
I would have stopped that way earlier.
We knew who the winner was.
joe rogan
There's a few fights where you just go, oh, I wish this guy would just stop.
Just the corner would say this is enough.
bryan callen
That's when your corner has to throw in the towel because spiders are too tough for that.
gordon ryan
They're fucking Frankie and Gray Manor.
bryan callen
Oh my God.
joe rogan
But he won.
brendan schaub
But imagine if he throws the towel in.
If he's throwing the towel, then he fucking loses.
joe rogan
Bro, in his prime, Frankie Edgar was a fucking durable dude.
And the thing about him was he was a real 155.
He wouldn't stock weight.
brendan schaub
An actual 55.
joe rogan
He actually weighed 155.
He's beating these dudes who are cutting crazy weights.
bryan callen
Didn't he fight 45?
joe rogan
He did eventually later, yeah.
And then he fought 35.
brendan schaub
Yep.
joe rogan
He's about to fight bare knuckle, right?
brendan schaub
He's getting a million bucks, though.
joe rogan
Is he really?
brendan schaub
Yep.
joe rogan
Whoa.
unidentified
For real?
For real?
brendan schaub
For real.
joe rogan
Damn.
I get it.
bryan callen
Poked again.
Yeah, I'm going to get you.
brendan schaub
Me too.
Fuck yeah, I get it.
Three two-minute rounds.
Fuck yeah.
joe rogan
Poke in the eye again.
Brajalio got a poke.
bryan callen
You might have to give him a point.
brendan schaub
He's fighting Jimmy Rivera, who's no punk, but a million bucks.
They're going to give you a good matchup.
joe rogan
Jimmy Rivera was good in the UFC.
brendan schaub
He was one of my favorite.
joe rogan
Solid striker.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like very compact dude.
bryan callen
Dude, needing the balls, poked twice.
unidentified
Fuck.
bryan callen
He's going to get him a point.
brendan schaub
Yeah, sometimes I think I have a problem because I watch every fight, pretty limbs up.
I watch every fight.
Then I'll watch BYB, Backyard Brawling.
unidentified
I'll watch BKFC, whatever fight, I'll just watch all of them.
joe rogan
So you think you have a problem because you like it?
brendan schaub
I can't get enough of it.
joe rogan
We're all watching it right now.
We're having fun.
Like, why would that be bad?
brendan schaub
Yeah, but like, I'll go home and watch the prelims and shit.
joe rogan
I probably will too.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
There's a few fighters on the prelims that I'd like to check out.
And then I also like to watch some of the fights that I was talking through.
brendan schaub
Me too.
bryan callen
Yeah, you haven't lost your enthusiasm for watching fights ever.
brendan schaub
My parents, Steve Stevens.
bryan callen
Mike's bro.
joe rogan
That is going to be crazy.
It's tough to watch the chicks turn each other into a pole.
bryan callen
I don't like it.
brendan schaub
Especially when Paige Van Ant was fighting.
I'm like, ooh, please don't.
unidentified
I know.
brendan schaub
Save your face, girl.
When they're ugly, it's fucked up.
bryan callen
Oh, how you just cracked him.
unidentified
Oh, bro.
joe rogan
Bro, he's like, oh, boy.
unidentified
Oh, boy.
gordon ryan
That's going to be the only click.
bryan callen
Watch your fingers, bro.
He's got to watch his fucking fingers, man.
brendan schaub
Annihilated.
joe rogan
So, what is he doing?
Is he sticking his hands forward?
bryan callen
Every time he comes through, he comes in with those fingers.
That's a big fucking thing.
joe rogan
Look at that.
He's poking his head out.
Oh, my God.
He's totally doing that.
bryan callen
No, it's a big problem because it fucks your whole rhythm up and everything else.
And then you can take advantage of it.
joe rogan
Bro, he's doing it again.
bryan callen
I know.
brendan schaub
It's also a way to become world champion.
That's true.
unidentified
He's crazy.
gordon ryan
He keeps getting to body locks and unlocking.
He locks his hand.
I got it.
brendan schaub
And let's go.
gordon ryan
See, I'm now feel some kind of danger.
brendan schaub
Now he's got proper shots.
bryan callen
Varhalo's worrying about his fucking fingers.
gordon ryan
He shoots a shitty shot.
And like, it builds up to the ways well.
brendan schaub
And then let's go.
unidentified
Let's go.
brendan schaub
I know.
It's very strange.
bryan callen
I don't know.
gordon ryan
Like a takedown would be big.
brendan schaub
Huge.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
It is kind of weird that Goddard isn't saying anything while he's extending his fingers.
bryan callen
Get those fucking fingers out there.
joe rogan
He's literally not supposed to do that.
bryan callen
I know.
That's.
joe rogan
I mean, what is the law?
I think that is the rule.
You can't have his fingers.
bryan callen
You can't be doing this when people are trying to jump.
joe rogan
You can't stand.
gordon ryan
You can't go out like this or up.
brendan schaub
Nope.
bryan callen
No, fuck.
brendan schaub
You can't extend any fingers now.
joe rogan
Can you do this?
bryan callen
Because now every time you go in, you're worried about getting poked in your eye.
joe rogan
Well, why do we have extended fingers in the first place?
Why don't we cover those things with leather?
brendan schaub
We've been over this, man.
joe rogan
Yeah, we didn't cover it again.
Someone's not listening to us.
Look, eye pokes are a real problem.
Huge.
But the fingers like this.
They don't help you with grappling.
brendan schaub
Here's the problem.
So they changed the gloves before knockdowns went down like 60%.
So UFC's all fuck that.
But the real issue is, as soon as Imovov touches his eye, you should automatically deduct a point.
I guarantee you he doesn't do it again.
The reason he's getting away with it is because, hey, don't do that again.
He's like, yeah, no doubt.
joe rogan
That's a very complicated thing.
brendan schaub
He's done three times on the left.
joe rogan
That's true, too.
brendan schaub
If there's no, if there's absolutely black and white, you touch their fucking eye, you lose a point.
Guys are going to stop doing it.
joe rogan
100%.
brendan schaub
But they're too loosey goose.
bryan callen
You got to take them down here.
joe rogan
And nut shots, too.
brendan schaub
Nutshot, fence grab, any of that shit.
We take a point.
joe rogan
If you do a nutshot with the proper cup, you don't even get hurt, but you can pretend you got hurt.
brendan schaub
Yep.
bryan callen
Six seconds.
Oh, oh, oh.
He caught him twice.
Oh, I know.
What a fight.
What a fight, dude.
That was a crazy fight.
brendan schaub
Imavovav decision.
It's like told you of decision.
bryan callen
I'm thinking maybe Movav here.
I don't know.
joe rogan
Yeah, it looked like Imovov.
When a fight like that, it's almost like it takes a couple of seconds for these dudes to chill and hug each other.
bryan callen
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
You know what I mean?
joe rogan
Like for a couple seconds.
bryan callen
Yeah, that was like, remember Robbie Lawler?
After he fought fucking, was it Henderson?
joe rogan
Johnny Hendricks?
bryan callen
Johnny Hendricks, yeah.
And just after the fight, he just kept looking at him like this, just sitting there with his lip all fucking.
I mean, he's so game.
Robbie Lawler, I don't know if you make a human being tougher than Robbie Lawler.
joe rogan
Animal in his prime.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
One of the greatest knockouts of all time is him versus Melvin.
bryan callen
Oh my God.
And Melvin Monroes were eating his life.
He was fucking eating his life.
brendan schaub
He's fucking him up.
bryan callen
Like bowling pants.
brendan schaub
And remember in New York when they were protesting and he was on the bus?
bryan callen
No.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
brendan schaub
He was on the bus.
They were protesting on the streets, and there was a UFC fucking black van filled with fighters.
And Robbie Lawler's one of them.
And everyone's like, oh, my God, they're about to break in.
He goes, sit down, conserve your energy.
We're going to need it.
Because those doors open, they're going to have problems.
And think of Robbie Lawler walks off that fucking bus.
bryan callen
Good luck.
unidentified
And some blue-heard lady's like, you son of a bitch.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Enjoy that.
joe rogan
He could beat up a while.
What was that protest about?
Was it a Gaza protest?
Was that what it was?
bryan callen
No, it was Black Lives Matter, I think.
unidentified
Was it?
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
So what year was this?
bryan callen
And they do matter, Joe.
joe rogan
I've always had to do.
What year was that?
brendan schaub
When all the chaos is going on.
bryan callen
Has that always been there?
joe rogan
That guy.
bryan callen
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Palestinian protests.
bryan callen
I've never seen that.
joe rogan
The Palestinian protest.
brendan schaub
And the fighters have nothing to do with it.
They're just trying to get to the arena.
joe rogan
So it was a Gaza thing.
So this was, what time was this?
What year was this, Jeremy?
Two years ago?
2023?
brendan schaub
2023.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Wow, isn't that crazy that Gaza shit's been going on that long?
bryan callen
Have you seen what Gaza looks like now?
Like the surface of the moon?
joe rogan
Oh, here it goes.
brendan schaub
49-46, it seems like.
joe rogan
Unanimous decision.
brendan schaub
Imavov, for sure.
joe rogan
Nasser Dean Imam Vov.
bryan callen
Wow.
brendan schaub
He's not getting hot.
bryan callen
You called it.
joe rogan
Well, I mean, who else then?
Who's getting confident?
brendan schaub
The winner of RDR Fluffy.
joe rogan
Well, it really depends on what that fight looks like, right?
Because this was a fucking war.
This was a good fight.
He might not have stopped him, but he put on a show.
bryan callen
Put on a show.
Both of their stock went out.
joe rogan
They both went after it.
Yeah.
It was a good fight.
You didn't think it was a good fight?
brendan schaub
It's a good fight.
It ain't going to get you a title shot.
unidentified
Hmm.
joe rogan
Interesting.
unidentified
Well, what would based off the UFC's standards?
joe rogan
Okay, but like who is the big star behind these guys now?
Behind Imam Vav.
So Imam Vav just has this great performance.
brendan schaub
He's ranked number two.
joe rogan
He's on TV, right?
Who's the big star other than him?
bryan callen
You mean to fight guys?
brendan schaub
I could leapfrog to jump him.
Fluffy and fluffy and RDR.
If there's a finish, they're guaranteed to get it.
If they get a finish, which that fight should be a finish.
But let's say that one's boring too.
Your biggest star is Strickland.
joe rogan
Right.
He's the biggest star.
brendan schaub
And he beat him of them.
gordon ryan
And I'll talk shit.
Right.
brendan schaub
And we can build that fight for a pay-per-view.
Although there's no pay-per-views.
joe rogan
I wonder if he can get right back in there like that.
brendan schaub
He comes back in November, December if he's not.
joe rogan
Right, but does he go right back into a title shot or does he have to fight somebody?
Because he lost to Drickus.
brendan schaub
Yep.
joe rogan
He hasn't lost anybody since then.
That was quite a while ago.
bryan callen
And that fight with Drickus was pretty close.
brendan schaub
Well, he also had a staff.
joe rogan
You know, he also had staff going into that second fight.
gordon ryan
Which is a way bigger deal than you would think.
joe rogan
Yeah.
unidentified
Wow.
I'm back.
gordon ryan
The average person would think.
brendan schaub
Yeah, Dranger card.
bryan callen
Just because of the egg that he takes, the antibiotics and the antibiotics and just the staff itself.
brendan schaub
Zapshiju, energy and cardio.
joe rogan
Yeah, and you're also fighting one of the most physical guys in the division who's a fucking bulldog.
Drickus is an animal.
He never gets tired.
He comes fucking throwing haymakers at you.
He keeps punching.
brendan schaub
What do you do with DDP now?
joe rogan
I don't know.
It's a good question.
Isn't it crazy?
Like, he was UFC champion, the king of the world, on top, and then just gets manhandled for this.
brendan schaub
This is how it goes.
gordon ryan
He's going to turn into a gatekeeper until he thinks he's ready for a title shot again.
If Hamza keeps it.
brendan schaub
But it's tough if he needs Hamza to either move up or move on, you know?
Because no one wants to see that for five rounds.
joe rogan
Well, let me say this.
You're a grappling expert.
If they hired you, if they said, listen, we know we have to make some changes and we want a real genius to look at my game.
What can I do?
gordon ryan
If I work with DDP seven days a week for a year, Jesus Christ.
He could be a bare minimum competitive with the Comzotte that he fought.
joe rogan
At the bare minimum.
brendan schaub
But then remember, if he does that with you seven days a week, he has to forego all his other shit.
joe rogan
Probably should do that anyway.
unidentified
Yep.
joe rogan
Right?
How about that?
What a return story that is.
gordon ryan
So that's the issue is you need to split everything up.
But right now, there's such a discrepancy in the grappling that needs to take priority.
Like he could do grappling seven days a week and then spend time keeping his other skills sharp or striking sharp in the morning.
But he just got dominated across the board when he did the grappling.
Not only could he not stop the takedown, but he also couldn't get up.
And when he did get position on Hamzat, he couldn't hold it.
Correct.
joe rogan
I wonder what's like a protocol.
If you continue to add work, if you start off with 10 miles, then you want to work to 11 and 12 and 13.
You start off training in MMA.
You start off at this pace, and you have a heart rate monitor on.
You want to push it faster and harder.
I wonder what the fucking threshold is if we've even seen it yet.
I really wonder.
Because we've always had these ideas before guys like Murab that there's these physical limitations that a guy can't fight every minute of every round.
But yeah, they can.
So are we there yet?
Or is this like one of those things where no one knows yet?
brendan schaub
Because they have limited time.
joe rogan
Like the four-minute mile.
Oh.
There's things like that.
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Where guys just have to see it.
They go, hold on, that's possible.
And then they're like, well, if he can do it, I can do it.
gordon ryan
That sport's only 30 years old.
joe rogan
I know it's nuts.
And it really, in this form, is only 20 years old.
Because like 2005, go back and watch a 2005 UFC fight.
It's pretty different.
Pretty different.
Yeah, pretty different.
brendan schaub
The athletes, the technique.
joe rogan
There's nothing like this.
There's no other sport like this.
gordon ryan
If you look at the sport now, like you have guys who are like specialists in one thing, and then you know, like Pereira's a great striker, and then he's like decent everywhere else, or you know, could be a great grappler, and then he's, you know, got decent striking.
You know, 20 years from now, people are going to be specialists in fucking everything.
joe rogan
Yeah, they're going to be doing it from the time they're kids.
brendan schaub
See, we've said that, but we haven't seen it.
Like, they said that 10 years ago.
They've said that, and for whatever reason, you might be right.
You might be right, but the specialists have always dominated.
gordon ryan
Yeah.
joe rogan
The thing is, it's like if you're specialists, we're also just meatheads.
gordon ryan
So that's another issue.
brendan schaub
Fair.
But coming from a fellow meathead, because those guys that are specialist are so dominant in that one aspect that it blankets everything else.
Because they control where the fight's going to be.
gordon ryan
The finality of MMA, in my opinion, should be a situation where a generalist MMA fighter can be competitive with specialists across the board in every martial art.
So it could hold it.
He can hold its own, hold its own with the world's best boxer, his weight.
World's best jiu-jitsu guy, his weight, world's best wrestler, and his weight.
unidentified
That's hard.
gordon ryan
World's best jiu-jitsu.
brendan schaub
See, I don't think that's possible, Grun.
joe rogan
Listen who you're talking to, dog.
bryan callen
But you might be able to.
joe rogan
You just got a protege that's willing to put it in.
unidentified
So for example, they make peptides legal hours in the day.
gordon ryan
So for example, like for example, like with wrestling, like I'm not, I'm never going to be the best freestyle wrestler in the world, but under an ADCC rule set, I can hang with anyone, any Olympic champion under ADCC scoring criteria in a wrestling match.
So like you're not going to be, the MMA guys won't be beating the best guys in their domain, but they can be competitive enough with the best guys in the world.
brendan schaub
Where they're not going to get finished.
gordon ryan
Yeah.
Like they won't, you know, if a guy is, you know, this finality I'm talking about, if a guy is wrestling an Olympic champion, maybe he gets taken down four times for every two that he hits.
So he was losing every match, but it's at least competitive.
Stuff like that.
So he's getting finished, you know, every for every one finish.
joe rogan
Who's the closest that's ever come to putting it all together?
brendan schaub
Well, GSP.
gordon ryan
I think George.
brendan schaub
George and George.
But I also think the only way you can get to that point is getting real athletes in the UFC.
Like legit athletes where guys, whether they're going to be all-stars in the MLB or NFL, they start coming over to the UFC.
We're not seeing that.
And it's because it's just, it's kind of the nature of the way America is set up.
gordon ryan
And it's not just the athletes, too.
They need to be extremely intelligent athletes.
bryan callen
Correct.
brendan schaub
Correct.
But it's the same thing with like the reason Dagestanis are so dominant in fighting is because their athletes aren't playing football.
They're not playing soccer.
They're not playing baseball.
They're literally all those young men are just doing wrestling.
joe rogan
It's embraced by the culture.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
And here in America, like, I've talked to Eddie about it.
Like, I'm like, your kid's not fucking savant and jiu-jitsu.
He's like, no, because his friends aren't doing it.
They want to do what their friends are doing.
So his friends are playing baseball, so he played baseball.
Yeah, it's cool.
So it's a cultural thing.
joe rogan
Yeah, you can't compete.
The fucking national sport is fucking people up.
No, that's like their national sports.
brendan schaub
But then they can't compete with us when it comes to other sports.
Not even fucking close.
joe rogan
No, not even close.
brendan schaub
Put a basketball.
Good luck.
joe rogan
Didn't they do a football game in Sao Paulo yesterday?
brendan schaub
Yeah, they did.
joe rogan
That's wild.
bryan callen
Chiefs charged.
brendan schaub
Chief Chargers.
bryan callen
That's wild.
brendan schaub
No, they lost.
joe rogan
Really?
Wow.
Have you ever been to a, because they watch soccer.
Do you ever been to a football game?
Like a soccer game, rather?
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
What they call football?
No.
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Like a real one?
Yeah, a real one.
Have you been?
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Is it cool?
bryan callen
It's fun.
joe rogan
First of all, there's no breaks.
Like, you know why they can't have it on TV?
Because there's no room for commercial.
They don't take time off.
You have to be in shape.
bryan callen
I love watching the World Cup.
brendan schaub
They average 10 miles.
joe rogan
These dudes all have crazy fucking legs.
Crazy.
Like, ridiculous.
And the streamlined upper bodies.
bryan callen
and they're just fucking cardio And soccer, if you see soccer in Europe, those kids start at like people like Messi and all of them, they start at six, even younger, and they go to special schools where all they do is play soccer.
brendan schaub
That's the only thing that's happening.
So I have a Tiger had a buddy in LA, and his dad was from England, and he was the best seven-year-old I've ever seen in soccer.
I was like, what the fuck are we doing?
His dad played semi-pro, so he grew up doing it.
His footwork, I was like, this is insane.
And then he just was in that school one day.
I'm like, where the fuck is this kid at?
And Tiger's like, oh, he moved to England.
So I text his dad who I was buddies with.
I'm like, yo, man, what the fuck?
He's like, oh, Manchester United picked him up.
I'm like, he's seven.
He goes, yeah, he's in the feeder program.
bryan callen
They take the feeder program.
It goes all the way up.
All the way up.
joe rogan
Oh, that.
bryan callen
And those kids, but most of those kids don't make it.
So what happens is you play your whole life and you don't make it on the Premier League.
And now you're just a good soccer player.
And thanks for the time.
Tennis is a pro sports.
joe rogan
There's no guarantee in anything.
bryan callen
Nothing.
joe rogan
Nothing.
brendan schaub
You can't pro sports.
bryan callen
Tennis is the same way.
Tennis, they're not.
joe rogan
It's a pretty start sport.
It's not a right.
brendan schaub
Pro sports is very cutthroat.
joe rogan
Yeah.
And the most cutthroat is when you're fucking throwing bones at each other inside a cage in your underwear.
This is the most cutthroat.
brendan schaub
The most cultural.
And the shortest career span.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Year and a half.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bryan callen
It's the thing about someone like Aaron Pico, who was wrestling on the international circuit at 16 years old and boxing.
So that he was raised.
Yeah.
He was amazing.
And so his skill set is so complete.
But then there are those little factors, right?
You rush.
Maybe you're maybe in the big show, you kind of, you know, but forget about him.
joe rogan
What about Lerone?
Lerone has been quietly one of the most elite guys that no one talks about in that division.
But because that division's too crazy, the division is just filled with animals.
bryan callen
It's crazy.
joe rogan
It's all assassins.
It's like a fucking just a killer's den.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
So Lerone had to make a big statement, and that was a big one.
brendan schaub
But to Gordon's point, like when you're talking about like smart fighters, that's the difference.
Like a John Jones IQs through the fucking roof.
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
A Tom Cosmo.
Like those change, like Izzy's a very smart guy.
bryan callen
How you train.
brendan schaub
Strickland is a smart guy.
His fight IQ is very high.
bryan callen
Staying injury-free is a huge thing.
joe rogan
Strickland's investing all his money, too, you know.
brendan schaub
Wicked, smart.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's wicked.
Yeah, you think he's an idiot because he says crazy.
He's not, but that's also why he's famous.
bryan callen
Smart like Fox.
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Playing the game.
bryan callen
Any of those guys.
I always look at how well do you stay injury free?
You know, how do you train?
How much damage do you take in training while getting better?
It's a whole science.
That's what I was talking about.
What I love about Brian Shaw.
He deadlifting 1,200 pounds for 13 years in a row.
And one of the few guys who really didn't get injured.
joe rogan
That's nice, but he's friends with Jordan Peterson.
So pass.
bryan callen
I know, pass.
unidentified
Pass.
High pass.
bryan callen
Exactly.
How big is he, by the way?
Remember, I brought him to the green room?
joe rogan
Dude, it's not even a human.
It's so weird.
Vikings, like whatever those things.
unidentified
Something from the private.
bryan callen
Brian Shaw, yeah.
joe rogan
Something from the digital.
gordon ryan
I saw him a private.
bryan callen
Oh, you did, right?
What was that one?
gordon ryan
I made him drill Big Dan.
I'm like, I'm like fucking drilled.
joe rogan
That's funny.
gordon ryan
He was like, I want to do MMA.
So he's like, we did like a little bit of a fight.
brendan schaub
Oh, that's right.
MMA fight.
gordon ryan
We did like some stuff on kind of Gatame, like arm triangles from Mount.
And we did some wall wrestling stuff.
brendan schaub
And then his fight back didn't happen, right?
bryan callen
No, it didn't happen.
They swindled.
But he was serious.
I brought him with Cody Donovan.
He went to high altitude.
joe rogan
Dude, bro, he's 400 pounds.
gordon ryan
He's drilling with fucking Big Dan on the wall.
And I'm like showing him dumping a single as the guy's second leg comes towards you, locking a double and putting him down.
And I'm just like, I grab Dan.
I just like circle him down.
Dude, Den's six foot seven, 330 pounds.
So Brian just does the first move, locks both legs, and just picks him up over his head.
He's like, whoop, and fucking puts him down on the ground.
bryan callen
He did the same thing with Derek Wolfe.
Derek Wolf's all-star, 285 pounds, like, you know, the Viking.
And just picked him up.
Derek was like, it's so suffocating.
He just got underhooks and went, I'm going to pick you up and move you over here and just throw.
I mean, you're not doing anything with this.
joe rogan
He's too big.
bryan callen
He's too big.
joe rogan
So that's like in the Bible.
bryan callen
He's Goliath.
joe rogan
Yeah, the guys who come over the hill and everyone runs because they're giants.
bryan callen
They did a decorative title.
joe rogan
It can't be just one of him, right?
What he is, he's like the echoes of the past.
bryan callen
Well, they looked at his giantism.
His bone density.
He doesn't have giantism, actually.
It's a different thing.
His bone density is, they've never quite seen anything like it.
He has, I think, the densest bones they've ever recorded.
joe rogan
They said it's one in 500 million people have bones that dense.
brendan schaub
Jesus, him and the hippo.
joe rogan
Him and like four other dudes on earth.
bryan callen
He's got rhino, rhino muscles.
joe rogan
He's a real freak, but it's weird just when you're standing next to him, like, okay, this is a different thing.
Like, this is a gorilla.
Oh, this is a chip.
bryan callen
Did you ever hear Andy Galpin talk about they took muscle tissue from one of these, one of the greatest Olympic lifters of all time?
And this guy had not only been training, but had been taking a certain, you know, certain Russian concoctions.
And they found that his muscle fibers were akin to a rhinos.
Like the density were akin to, I'm going to say it again, a fucking rhino.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Like it was a different density.
brendan schaub
Some people are just different.
Like I'm around kids all the time.
You can just grab a kid and you're like, dude, what the fuck?
bryan callen
You're pretty bad.
gordon ryan
That's how I strong grapple fucking Thor.
joe rogan
Oh, that's another guy, right?
gordon ryan
It was like, the best part is, it's like, I want to do a private.
I was at the PI because we were doing UFC fight pass the next day.
So I had to compete the next day.
So I taught him private.
I'm like, I can't train because John will kill me if I get hurt.
And you're pretty likely to injure me because you're fucking 450 pounds.
brendan schaub
He's so big.
gordon ryan
So we do a private and the cabber guy's like, can we just do one roll?
Can we just do one roll?
So I'm like, fuck.
I like look around and like I see John like doing his fucking workout in the in the corner.
And I'm just like, all right, he's like 100 feet away.
He probably won't see us start rolling.
And when we're already rolling, I'm already too late.
And I'm like, all right, fucking, let's do it.
And that guy is just like, I think he was, I think he was close to 400 pounds, maybe when we last time I saw him.
bryan callen
I think I saw him.
You got him.
gordon ryan
And I let him start in top side control because we were doing side control.
First of all, I was doing it.
I was teaching him and Martin's Leeches, or I don't know how to pronounce his last name, and other strongmen, side control escapes.
And they immediately, I'm like, just drill the move.
They immediately just, one of them's bottom side control, one of them's top side control.
And it just immediately degenerates into a full live roll.
They're just fighting from side control for a full hour.
And I'm like, I just drilled the move.
And they're like, they just can't do it.
So I let them both start from top side control.
So Thor locks on from top side control.
And I'm like, all right, go.
And he squeezes me so hard that I'm like, if he could do this for 20 seconds, he's going to asphyxiate me just by like, just like my lungs cannot expand from this position.
So like, I just like brought my knee nail together and like swept him and like mounted him.
brendan schaub
And I saw him.
I saw him right after.
gordon ryan
I finished him in like 30 seconds.
And I did it with Martins too, who actually wrestled in high school.
So he was a little bit more self-like aware with his body.
He was actually a little bit harder to deal with.
But I hit like a sixth sweep on him.
And like as I went, he like used the momentum and just like rolled through.
I had like perfect body position.
He like went to go roll through.
I'm like, well, guess we're going back on bottom.
And then like I rolled him through again and then adjusted the second time.
But it was interesting for sure.
brendan schaub
I saw four.
bryan callen
I love that.
I thought it took you 30 seconds though.
It was kind of tough because it's having 34.
brendan schaub
I did a photo shoot with Thor right after he rolled with you and he was telling me about it.
He's like, yeah, I went with this Gordon Ryan.
I'm like, yeah, that's my buddy.
I said, you know, he's like the Michael Jordan Jiu-Jitsu.
He's like, I don't understand, man.
You had me just doing all this stuff.
And I go, you thought you were going to do well?
And he goes, well, yeah.
I'm like, oh, buddy.
No.
bryan callen
You just don't know.
unidentified
He just got no.
brendan schaub
He's got a fucking chance, dude.
I was like, and he's probably going up 50%, man.
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Well, that's like, that's like, I just don't know.
bryan callen
They had a pro come in, a big guy.
He was a male stripper, but he had a couple pro fights in boxing.
And he knocked, he brought another guy in and he knocked the dude out.
joe rogan
So he brought a guy in a spar.
bryan callen
Yeah, you're not supposed to do that.
So Wayne McCulloch, who fought at 190.
brendan schaub
He came out at Boxingburn.
bryan callen
Yeah.
No, this was at maybe his Boxing Burn Type.
He might have been at, no, it was at Gloveworks.
And yeah, I was, but he wasn't.
I was.
And he goes, Wayne goes, hey, we don't do that here.
You know, take it easy.
And the guy went like this to Wayne.
Stuck his tongue out.
Knocked his buddy out again.
Really dangerous.
unidentified
Twice.
bryan callen
Yes, really dangerous.
So Wayne goes, Wayne goes, stay in the morning.
And doesn't even put headgear on.
And this giant dude, like 220, just jacked and juiced his kills.
He's had his boxing.
And Wayne just throws.
And Wayne just goes, and hit him in the liver.
And apparently, I wasn't there.
I heard that he went, he made this high pitch.
Just fell to the ground.
And that was all she wrote, kids.
Just fucking ate his liver and said, don't do that in my gym.
And just got the fuck out.
brendan schaub
You guys just don't know.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bryan callen
That's crazy.
Don't fuck around.
joe rogan
There's so many nuts that come into gyms and want to spar.
brendan schaub
Bro, Tim Kennedy and your boy Shane invited me to that archetype boxing.
And he goes, bring your son, I'll bring mine.
So when we're going, the kids go.
So I bring my boys.
There's a bunch of guys there, and there's this guy, and he has double knee braces on, which is always a red flag.
Double fucking knee braces.
I'm like, that's weird.
And he has his ears, pierce, bald head.
I'm like, oh, this can't be good.
bryan callen
Double knee braces.
joe rogan
What kind of knee braces are we talking about?
brendan schaub
Like the ones you have from Walgreens, you know, where he's just like, I have been watching.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
brendan schaub
And you're like, this guy's a black shit.
bryan callen
And it was Chris Angel.
brendan schaub
But he's talking.
He's talking about UFC, whatever.
Now, everyone in that group is a black belt.
Everyone.
All tops.
Everyone's really good.
And we're moving around with each other, you know, sparring.
And this new guy, and Tim goes, hey, don't go with that guy.
Anyway, he goes, dude, I didn't read my DMs.
Apparently, I invited him like months ago and he fucking showed up.
I didn't know he's going to be here today.
He goes, but I don't know him.
So he's trying to knock people out.
So he's going with his friend Shane, Shane Steiner.
And they're going.
I see him grab Shane's head and go, boom, boom.
bryan callen
And Shane's like, Shane's very nice.
brendan schaub
Shane's super nice.
So we're like, what the fuck?
joe rogan
Collar tie?
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
I mean, he's going, boom.
bryan callen
And you never do that.
We're just touch sparring.
brendan schaub
No, he's going to touch.
So I'm like, oh, buddy.
And then Tim goes, stop, stops around.
unidentified
He goes, stops up.
brendan schaub
He goes, you and me.
You and me.
And that guy with the knee bracelets, you and me are going to go.
So I get my son.
I go, watch this.
joe rogan
Watch this.
brendan schaub
He goes, well, he goes, just watch, watch.
So Tim's like, you ready?
And he's like, yep, he's start the clock.
Like this, and then fucking Tim.
bryan callen
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Just fuck this dude.
brendan schaub
I'm just annihilating.
bryan callen
And he goes, you good?
brendan schaub
You good?
And the guy goes, I'm good, man.
unidentified
I'm good.
brendan schaub
And he's one of these guys who goes, I needed that.
bryan callen
Like, what the fuck?
And Tim, by the way, Tim, by the way, wasn't even.
I saw the video of that.
And Tim is being very nice.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
There's so many nutty dudes like that.
brendan schaub
What do you think was going to happen, dude?
joe rogan
There's so many videos online where guys don't know how to box at all and they go into a gym.
Like, put the gloves on me, man.
I'm a fucking street fighter.
Okay.
There's so many videos of those.
brendan schaub
Did you ever see that troll that Deontay Wilder invited to his gym?
He was like, you come in, I'll fuck you up.
This little white dude in a white beater shows up.
bryan callen
Oh, that kid.
brendan schaub
He goes, let's do it.
And Wilder's like, oh, sign these forms so you don't sue me.
Okay.
Put your gloves on and just fucking.
bryan callen
Well, he was saying shit about his daughter.
That guy, that guy's a mess.
He's actually truly crazy.
brendan schaub
It doesn't matter.
Piece of shit.
joe rogan
You just invited him into your life.
Congratulations.
unidentified
Yeah.
bryan callen
Yeah, I know.
Fucking nut pack.
They're all nuts.
joe rogan
Deontay and Francis is probably the only fight that I'd be interested in seeing from either one of those guys right now.
brendan schaub
Agree 100%.
bryan callen
Deontay Francis would be.
joe rogan
I mean, maybe there's another fight for Francis.
Heavyweight boxing.
But the real fight for Francis is obviously the UFC title.
bryan callen
When was the last time Deontay fought?
joe rogan
It's been a while.
brendan schaub
He's found some hard times since he did that ayahuasca.
joe rogan
Did he fight after that Zhang fight?
brendan schaub
What?
He got knocked out by Jang.
joe rogan
He has a high interest.
So was that his last fight?
The Zhang fight?
brendan schaub
Francis and Gano offered lucrative return to boxing by former world champion.
Your power against my power.
bryan callen
You ever hear how Teddy Atlas talked about Deontay Wilder's power?
He goes, he'll hit you so hard, he'll hit you in the face and shatter your ankles.
joe rogan
He called it the eraser.
Oh, because he was like, oh, the errors that he made, he erases them with one punch.
bryan callen
Just blap.
brendan schaub
And his technique's not great.
Back foot's off the ground.
But just fucking.
joe rogan
It's extraordinary.
brendan schaub
He fought that, was that Brazil?
I was working for a showtime.
They sat me and my brother in New York next to that Brazil's family.
And I didn't know it.
And he's walking out.
They're the only people cheering.
And I'm like, oh, no.
My brother goes, why?
I'm like, we're next to fucking Brett.
This is a dead man walking.
This can be the worst fucking time ever.
joe rogan
But it shows you the chin that Tyson Fury has.
Because Tyson Fury ate one shot on the top of the head that went all the way down to his fat.
His fat wiggled.
It's a crazy sight.
Just like an earthquake.
It went through his body.
brendan schaub
It gets up like the Undertaker.
bryan callen
Craziest shit I've ever seen.
joe rogan
Well, that was the first fight.
This was the second fight where he got dropped, I think, three times.
Still came back and knocked him out.
unidentified
Wild.
joe rogan
Wild.
His chin is insane.
He took that left hook, went down, and everybody's like, well, it's definitely over.
He took a right hand and then a left hook, right?
Wasn't that what it was?
He's my left hook on the way down.
unidentified
Yes.
joe rogan
Flat.
Like he's out cold.
unidentified
Out out.
joe rogan
Rises and then wins the remainder of the round.
brendan schaub
Wow.
joe rogan
And then realized in winning the remainder of the round how to fight him.
bryan callen
That's right.
joe rogan
Get him back up.
bryan callen
Just push him forward.
Yeah, he's got to be fine.
brendan schaub
I think he's done, yeah.
joe rogan
Tyson Fury.
I think he's done.
brendan schaub
He said he's retired.
joe rogan
He was thinking about one more Usik fight.
He was talking about.
bryan callen
Usik is fighting.
joe rogan
Because he's the closest that anybody's to solving Usuk.
The early rounds, that first fight, it looked like he was solving that.
bryan callen
Oh, dude, Usik is so special.
joe rogan
He's special.
Oh, he's special.
bryan callen
I watched them break, like real boxers break down what he does, like how the traps he sets.
brendan schaub
He's never lost, sir.
bryan callen
It's unreal.
brendan schaub
Cruiserweight, heavyweight, Olympics.
joe rogan
That dude Waffy was crazy.
bryan callen
He fought it, fought, started at 88.
I mean, he's a natural cruiserweight or something.
He's not even at.
joe rogan
Yeah, he fought Better Beeve in the Olympics.
unidentified
Yeah.
bryan callen
Better Beef.
joe rogan
Or at least an amateur fight.
bryan callen
Better Beef is another one.
joe rogan
He's another one.
bryan callen
He just throws ones and twos and just fucking.
joe rogan
Oh, dude, three, four years ago, he was the scariest fucking human being alive.
But he's 40.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
But he's obviously 40.
brendan schaub
Different 40.
joe rogan
He's not getting the golden snitch sniffing around.
It's pee-pee.
unidentified
Dude.
brendan schaub
Golden snitch is nowhere to be found.
bryan callen
I don't know.
joe rogan
I don't know what they do.
Because when he's in those fights with Bival, what kind of testing did they do?
Because they're talking about a trilogy.
Do you think that'd be cool?
bryan callen
I don't know, man.
joe rogan
You know, this is the thing, Gordon, like what they're doing with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu on this UFC thing where you have to get drug tested.
Like, are they drug testing everybody?
gordon ryan
They said they were going to start testing in 2026.
What that means, I don't know.
But that means that the only...
joe rogan
They should have a multiple choice test.
gordon ryan
Which means that they're going to have to sign people exclusive.
It's also got a lot of money in things.
joe rogan
Jiu-Jitsu has been juicy for so long.
Like, there's so many guys that are juicy that are in jiu-jitsu.
It's like the last thing.
bryan callen
This is all going to be caveman talk because they have that two things coming.
One is that peptide that you can take and you will, it literally has no endocrine.
It doesn't change your endgrine thing.
I think it blocks your myostatin.
So, you're going to be able to build muscle with almost no sound effects.
Crazy.
And then the second thing is with this CRISPR-Cas9 shit, now if you have high cholesterol, they can get your liver to stop making the kind of cholesterol.
You become that person that makes very little cholesterol and has low cholesterol naturally.
And so that's what they're going to do.
So statins are going to be a thing of the past as well.
Because with CRISPR-Cas9, you can get one quick gene editing thing, and it's coming down the pipe fast.
joe rogan
Not just that.
Gary Nolan was on here and he does cancer research.
He's out of Stanford.
One of the things he was talking about was they're going to develop a cream that you could rub on your skin that doesn't make you so you're no longer susceptible to sun radiation.
Yeah, because he's got like that weird gene, a weird gene where he has a lot of melanoma all over his skin because he has an actual expression of a gene.
You're much more likely to get it.
And he was saying he's got like cuts all over his body where they have to always cut these things off.
But that's a gene.
They can edit that.
And they can edit it with a cream.
And I said, is this possible?
He's like, oh, it's going to happen.
bryan callen
Incredible.
I can't wait.
Come on.
Science.
joe rogan
Bro, they're going to turn old ladies into hot again.
That's going to get weird.
bryan callen
Did you hear the guy?
The guy who's got a lot of people.
Baba, did you hear the guy who owns the LA Times who has all those cancer patents?
He said they've got this where they boost your helper T cell.
And Newsweek did an article about this.
They are, first of all, they're curing bladder cancer.
Cleoblaston.
brendan schaub
How old is she?
joe rogan
That's Martha Stewart?
unidentified
84.
joe rogan
Is that a real picture?
Is that like a star?
unidentified
She just posted it like this week.
joe rogan
That's crazy.
bryan callen
That's insane.
gordon ryan
That even with a filter.
unidentified
Money, money, money.
bryan callen
But you still got to work.
But the body still sex.
The body still sucks.
joe rogan
How do you know, Brian?
Don't be so negative.
brendan schaub
Yeah, don't be a hater.
joe rogan
How do you know?
She got a banging body under there.
brendan schaub
But that 80-year-old skin just feels a little different.
joe rogan
Not when you get that super special CRISPR cream.
brendan schaub
Maybe right.
joe rogan
Crisper cream.
There we go.
Young CRISPR cream all over your body.
bryan callen
We're going to be 80 and come back.
joe rogan
You and I. 80 and jacked and smelling like a baby.
You're going to smell like a baby.
What if I say that?
brendan schaub
What if they start focusing on hair, B?
bryan callen
Huh?
brendan schaub
You guys could both have long long hair.
joe rogan
I would shave my head even though.
That's coming down the pipe, too.
brendan schaub
You're too.
bryan callen
No, no, no.
They got the peptides.
joe rogan
No, but I like it.
brendan schaub
I like shaving my head.
joe rogan
But the thing is, like, I don't want to talk to a fucking haircutter.
You ever been kidnapped where they just hold you there?
unidentified
And then I told her, you are not going to fucking treat me like that.
joe rogan
Good for you.
Stand on your ground.
bryan callen
Oh, my God.
unidentified
Oh, my God.
bryan callen
You're there for 40 minutes.
joe rogan
You're fucking trapped.
brendan schaub
You can't go anywhere.
unidentified
Sip, Sib.
joe rogan
Say, well, yeah, I get it.
I see your point.
She's out of line.
She's definitely out of line.
bryan callen
You got to pick up that peptide that also you rub on your thing that grows.
It revives new hair.
joe rogan
I can't wait.
Yeah, they've developed some sort of drug that actually grows legitimate hair.
Like, revitalizes your follicles completely.
bryan callen
I want to do that.
joe rogan
They're turning back.
They're taking skin and making skin young again.
They're doing weird shit.
Yeah.
Damn, she's got the gabble.
Look, this is 82.
This one is 83.
And then this one is 84.
bryan callen
She looks amazing.
joe rogan
Is she getting something done every year?
Or they just hope so.
I know she's really dedicated to the cause.
She's trying to up her craft.
brendan schaub
But look at Chris Jenner.
joe rogan
She's the Gordon Ryder of Plastic Surgery.
bryan callen
Yeah, man.
joe rogan
She's a days up.
No time off.
bryan callen
She's got a lot of money.
If I can pay my mortgage.
Twins look hot.
joe rogan
Twins look hot.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Let's go.
bryan callen
I got bills.
joe rogan
Yeah.
The thing is, like, what is your, you know, what is your body pop?
Like, what's the hottest body an 80-year-old woman has ever had?
unidentified
Like, what's up?
bryan callen
Require wealth.
Require well.
Bring her up for a sec.
I bet she.
joe rogan
She has some genes, right?
Some ladies have those.
brendan schaub
How old's someone?
Is she like 50?
joe rogan
Yes, I've seen that.
brendan schaub
Sophia Viewer.
joe rogan
I've seen her.
Yeah, she's like 56.
bryan callen
She's insane.
joe rogan
She's insane.
bryan callen
I've seen her.
joe rogan
Jill's 50.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
bryan callen
JLo's a freak.
brendan schaub
Again, 50 is the new set.
joe rogan
Those Latin genes, though.
bryan callen
Yeah, it's crazy.
joe rogan
That's a fact.
brendan schaub
You ain't seen no white girls like that.
bryan callen
I've seen a white girl.
I've seen an 80-year-old English woman who looked at her.
No, 60-year-old, 60.
She was beautiful.
joe rogan
I've just changed 62.
unidentified
I've just turned 62.
bryan callen
What is the accent with that?
joe rogan
I want you to Google what is the hottest 80-year-old lady.
unidentified
I just did.
I just did.
I'm fine.
bryan callen
James, you have to get Google.
Jamie's so good.
joe rogan
Your Google searches fuck for a while.
bryan callen
Oh, there you go.
All right.
unidentified
Well, there is that 71-year-old.
joe rogan
Frank Zane is the hottest 80-year-old lady.
bryan callen
There's that 70-year-old.
joe rogan
That is ridiculous.
80-year-old grandpa crushes it.
bryan callen
No, you know who's really, really amazing?
Is who's the guy who sings Jesse's girl?
joe rogan
Rick Springfield.
bryan callen
Dude, check out Rick Springfield at 60.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
He's like 72 and he has no shirt on on stage.
bryan callen

Age is a big.
Bring up Christy Brinkley now.

Shut the fuck up, Brendan.
Why are you ruining everything?

She's 67.
Pretty fucking good.
bryan callen
Who's the game?

She's hot too.
brendan schaub
Dude, she's a good one.

brendan schaub
Keep it together.
joe rogan
Yeah, ladies.
brendan schaub
Keep it together.
bryan callen
I know, man.
That's disciplined.
joe rogan
They have to lift weights.
When you get to a certain point, the only way you're going to keep your shit.
You should always lift weights.
Yeah.
You got to lift weights.
bryan callen
Oh, fuck.
You should see my boy.
Here, I'm going to show you the best hair.
joe rogan
She's 60?
brendan schaub

Oh, yeah.
I'll show you the best.

joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
bryan callen

He was, I'm a fan of yours.

Bro, he's wearing the I'm About the Fuck Elizabeth Hurley collection.
bryan callen
He's damn right he is.
unidentified
I've always been a fan of the way you present yourself on camera.
joe rogan
That's like dude, he's crushing it.
brendan schaub
It's a fucking weirdo, man.
joe rogan
Yeah, what is that outfit?
Is he had a bullfight?
unidentified
Fucking weirdo.
joe rogan
Is he a bullfighter?
brendan schaub
I don't know what the fuck you are.
joe rogan
Imagine you're a president, former, or other, and they ask you to wear that.
You're like, no, I'm good.
I think I'll wear a regular suit so I don't wind up.
brendan schaub
Can I just wear the regular shit?
gordon ryan
Did you see the picture or the video of Cuomo giving a speech with the, I think it was Muslims, and one of the dudes he brought just had a durag on.
Just gave the girl trying to fit in.
And he just was wearing a fucking blue durag.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
bryan callen
I'll show you the best body at 74.
There's nobody like this.
joe rogan
Oh, my gosh.
bryan callen
Nobody liked this horse.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
That's so funny.
You're going to find Rick Strong.
Yeah, no, no, no.
unidentified
This is Shane Steiner's father.
bryan callen
Shane Steiner's father is the most damned.
joe rogan
This is Shane Steiner.
bryan callen
Shane's my buddy who owns the helicopter.
gordon ryan
Oh, he's rich as dad.
bryan callen
You gotta see his dad.
I've never seen anything like that.
I've never seen anything like it.
I'm gonna send you a video.
joe rogan
How many times did you jump off to it?
bryan callen
Well, I'm not gonna talk off.
brendan schaub
So you can wait too long.
bryan callen
That's a personal question.
Well, Jamie, how do I get this to you?
brendan schaub
Text, man.
joe rogan
Listen, grandpa, don't you know about airdrops?
Grandpa.
bryan callen
Oh, here it is.
joe rogan
This is so stupid.
gordon ryan
Walk over there to have him take a picture of your phone like he did last time.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
Grandpa, send it to Jamie, grandpa.
bryan callen
I'm sending you.
Jamie, is your airdrop on?
unidentified
Yeah, should be.
brendan schaub
Holy shit.
joe rogan
Gordon Ryan stays outside the airdrop ecosphere.
bryan callen
James Pro?
gordon ryan
Didn't you?
joe rogan
He's one of the rare birds.
brendan schaub
What kind of phone is that?
joe rogan
What is Android?
gordon ryan
Z-Fold.
bryan callen
No, it's mine.
gordon ryan
Don't you have an Android now?
joe rogan
No, I still haven't switched over yet.
bryan callen
Yeah, did you get it?
gordon ryan
I got you both.
joe rogan
Yeah, I do have both, but I haven't been using the other one.
I'm going to use it as my primary phone once I have to switch a bunch of shit.
bryan callen
Watch this boat.
He was a world champion bull rider.
He's 74 years old.
joe rogan
He was a bull rider?
bryan callen
Yeah, world champion.
joe rogan
How's he not completely broken?
brendan schaub
And he owns like a moth.
bryan callen
Because he's built like that.
He never stops working out.
Jacked.
It's ridiculous.
74?
Fuck you.
unidentified
Jesus.
bryan callen
That's ridiculous.
joe rogan
That guy looks incredible.
bryan callen
He's unbelievable.
I've never seen.
I kept looking at him last night.
I was like, I can't get over this shit.
joe rogan
That's a discipline.
bryan callen
His shoulders are this wide.
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
That's a discipline.
bryan callen
Iron discipline.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bryan callen
And the whole family.
joe rogan
He's doing it for a living.
bryan callen
He's a billion.
He's a billion.
joe rogan
Which is weird, right?
bryan callen
The Steiners own the largest cattle.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
bryan callen
Yeah.
But they're all beautiful people.
And the whole family, they're all cowboys.
joe rogan
You ever go to that Steiner Ranch steakhouse?
unidentified
Yeah.
bryan callen
Yeah, I was there last night.
I was there last night.
Yeah.
That's good.
Last night.
And the nephew, Rocker, is the world champion Bucking Bronco rider.
His brother Sid is like the world champion.
gordon ryan
He had the cameo in Yellowstone.
bryan callen
Yeah, that's right.
brendan schaub
Oh, really?
bryan callen
That's right.
joe rogan
What a crazy thing to get good.
bryan callen
The whole family's built like this.
joe rogan
Riding horses.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
Fucking Broncos.
bryan callen
And bulls.
Bulls.
Bull riders and bucks.
brendan schaub
They're all wild boys because then the son Shane only gets around by a helicopter.
bryan callen
That's right.
Shane only.
Shane doesn't drive.
gordon ryan
Yeah, he used to train at Roka with us, and you used to hear the helicopter coming.
You're like, Shane's here.
bryan callen
He landed.
gordon ryan
He lands in the detention pond.
bryan callen
He picks me up every day to go work out, and my neighbors are like, what the fuck?
He'll be there at nine, exactly.
I gotta run to the house.
joe rogan
A friend of mine, his daughter was taking this gymnastics class, and one of the kids would get dropped off by helicopter.
brendan schaub
That's him, dude.
His daughter does gymnastics.
joe rogan
That's hilarious.
What a flex.
bryan callen
He's the best guy.
joe rogan
I think there's a bunch of guys that do that, though.
I don't think it's just one.
I think Austin has a weird.
gordon ryan
In Texas, you can just land them anywhere.
Yeah.
As long as you don't, I think it's like the rules are like, as long as you don't obviously go against any FAA rules.
joe rogan
Don't take out any power lines.
gordon ryan
And you have the landlord or just permission from the person.
brendan schaub
He flew over my house.
joe rogan
Didn't Tim have a helicopter for a while?
bryan callen
No, that was Shane.
Tim and Shane are best friends.
joe rogan
That was Shane's helicopter.
bryan callen
Tim will get out when they're shooting hogs.
Tim will stand on the skis and shoot and ten, and Shane's like, please wear your seatbelt.
And he's like, shut up.
I've done this.
He's so out of his mind.
They try to get on skis and come down low enough to jump off the skis onto a wild pig's back with a hatchet.
And they tried that and it didn't work because they missed the pig.
And apparently Tim kind of fell face first into the fucking dirt.
brendan schaub
Jesus Christ.
bryan callen
I'm going to kill a pig from your helicopter.
They're like, you want to try that?
I go, I'm not going to fucking do that.
gordon ryan
Imagine if you had a GoPro on your head and it worked.
bryan callen
I know.
gordon ryan
It's like the fucking coolest thing.
joe rogan
I can't get involved with that shooting pigs out of helicopters thing.
I've seen the videos.
It's pretty wild.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's fun to watch.
bryan callen
You don't want to do it?
joe rogan
It just doesn't seem like the right thing to do.
bryan callen
Well, it's pesky.
gordon ryan
First of all, I get it.
joe rogan
It's pesky first, and I would do it.
I would do it.
But I can't.
I just can't.
If I had to do it, like, if I had a ranch.
bryan callen
It's actually hard to do, too.
Because you got to shoot.
I think the way you do it is a specific way.
It's like not easy to do.
joe rogan
I thought about it because Ted Nugent invited me to it.
And I was like, that's not the craziest fucking thing you could do in your life is go pig hunting out of a hell of a huge.
bryan callen
Well, farmers will pay to do it, too.
unidentified
That'd be cool.
bryan callen
Farmers will pay because they decimate your corn and stuff.
gordon ryan
Remember the first time we talked about it?
joe rogan
Yeah.
gordon ryan
You're like, you're like, pigs cause $700 trillion a year in damage to the crops.
You're like, look it up, Jamie.
And then it was like, it's only $3 million a year.
I mean, you're both like, maybe we shouldn't be fucking killing all these pigs.
joe rogan
It's not just $3 million.
It's more than that.
It's $6 million a year.
I was reading some articles that sounded like a shit.
I was reading some articles.
It sounded like clickbaity bullshit, but it was about these 500-pound super hogs that are coming out of Canada.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
This is like the latest thing we're supposed to be scared of.
Like giant super hogs out of Canada, America.
bryan callen
Yeah, well, Canada.
joe rogan
But like, how are they so big?
Like, what are you talking about?
Why are they so big?
Why do you have 600-pound pigs?
bryan callen
They get that big.
brendan schaub
It's like that picture I see of that deer that got eaten fucking stomach first in front of my house.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
brendan schaub
Like, what the fuck did it?
bryan callen
Is that a mountain lion?
joe rogan
It's probably a bobcat.
Could be coyotes.
Could be a lot of things.
bryan callen
They do have mountain lions in Austin, actually.
joe rogan
They do.
Yeah, they do.
We got some kind of a cat on our camera, and it's tough to tell perspective.
But someone thought maybe, because it was really black and it was night vision.
It was before we upgraded the cameras.
It looked like it might have been a German shepherd, but it was weird.
It moved like a cat.
But you know how German shepherds have that weird thing where they kind of like lower in the butt?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
They move a little more cat-like.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
Which is one of the things that I think why they can go so fast.
Like Belgian malamois.
bryan callen
How about that shepherd, that thing you sent me, right?
joe rogan
Insane.
But this thing was in front of my house.
bryan callen
I asked.
brendan schaub
And we got an alarm.
joe rogan
Well, they were like, there's a large predator.
Like, bring the dog inside.
And then I went and watched the video of it.
I was like, what the fuck is that?
Like, what is that?
brendan schaub
Yeah, I asked Animal Control, like, what the fuck would do this?
They're like, usually, if it's like wolves or coyotes, coyotes, there would be blood everywhere.
Like they eat them and then it bleeds out.
But everything was clean.
joe rogan
So it's probably one animal did all the work.
brendan schaub
Yep.
No guts, no blood.
joe rogan
Well, whatever the fuck this thing was, it was in the shadows.
It was hard to pick up, but it looked like a cat.
It looked like a pretty big cat.
bryan callen
How about the cats?
You see how big those mountain lions are on Idaho and in Colorado?
They're not like your 100-pound mountain lions.
They're 200-pound cats.
joe rogan
Have you ever seen the one Derek Wolf?
unidentified
Yes.
bryan callen
It's the biggest thing I've ever seen.
joe rogan
It was massive.
Massive.
unidentified
That one in LA?
joe rogan
You know how big he is?
And they see him holding that wolf.
I mean, holding that mountain lion up.
bryan callen
It's crazy.
brendan schaub
That one in LA in Woodland Hills was, they said it was plus 200.
That big dude just on the fucking cameras.
bryan callen
Bro.
Well, they take down elk.
unidentified
200?
bryan callen
They take down elk with their face.
joe rogan
And they eat dogs like crazy.
When they find them in California, when they have to do those depredation things, they have a problem mountain lion.
They found that 50% of their diet is pets.
unidentified
What?
bryan callen
Really?
joe rogan
In San Francisco.
Oh, Northern California, Bay Area.
bryan callen
Well, leopards in India do that a lot.
joe rogan
They just snatch your dogs, man.
bryan callen
Everything.
joe rogan
But there's kids missing and shit.
bryan callen
Yes.
joe rogan
Leopards.
In the old days of the Hollywood Hills, there's stories about kids missing.
They never figured out what happened.
bryan callen
That's probably a mountain lion.
joe rogan
There's a lot of them up in that whole park area up there.
bryan callen
In Colorado, there was a family hiking, and the six-year-old, they were all in a line.
And a mountain lion came out of the bushes, grabbed that six-year-old, and disappeared.
unidentified
Oh, my God.
bryan callen
Out of nowhere.
brendan schaub
Can you imagine?
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
bryan callen
No, I cannot imagine.
joe rogan
Have you seen the one that we have on the studio wall?
The one that's a photo with the cat with a Hollywood sign behind it?
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
He's wearing a collar.
It's L.A. to me.
That photo is L.A. to me because it's completely retarded.
Like, everything about it is retarded.
brendan schaub
They built in?
They built them a runway.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
This one is dead, but they're building other ones a runway.
They're spending millions of dollars so they can cross the highway safety and kill dogs.
So this thing has a collar on its neck, too.
So it's this huge mountain.
Like, Jimmy, pull that picture up.
If you can find it, please.
Is a huge mountain lion with a collar on his neck with the Hollywood sign perfectly illuminated in the background.
It looks fake.
bryan callen
Yeah, I know.
joe rogan
But it's like, this is how goofy that town is.
You have giant predators, and instead of like killing them, when you find them, what you do is you collar them and release them so you know where they're killing everything.
That's the uh photo that we have on the wall back there.
bryan callen
Look at that side.
Look at his front paws and stuff.
joe rogan
Who took that photo?
It's like a famous photographer, right?
Give that guy his flower.
bryan callen
They can jump a school bus.
They can lengthen that.
unidentified
They can't Steve Winter.
joe rogan
Look at that.
Look how crazy that photo is, man.
bryan callen
That's a great picture.
joe rogan
I stare at that picture all the time, but that represents LA to me.
bryan callen
Now, actually, it's almost no sense.
At 300 pounds, that you get a tiger.
gordon ryan
Well, dude, I was in Abu Dhabi, and they had like baby ligers.
Oh, God.
Like, just at the size where you're like, okay, like, if they bite you, they could start doing some damage, probably, like, you know, this big.
Like, it was clearly still a baby, but it was like this big, probably, like, I don't know, 60 pounds.
And they're like trying to get everyone to pick them up.
And they're like, then go hold them.
Like, if they know that you're scared, like, they can sense that you're scared.
They won't let you touch them.
So I'm like, give me this fucking thing.
So I picked this thing up.
And the fucking, it feels like you're trying to move around like steel cables, like their legs and their fucking paws.
It's like, they feel like concrete.
bryan callen
Yeah.
gordon ryan
Like they're so dense.
unidentified
Yes.
bryan callen
You ever grab a chimp, a baby chimp?
gordon ryan
No.

They made a wood.
They feel like they're wood.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bryan callen
Their backs feel like they're literally wood.
joe rogan
I have talked about this one we had on news radio.
It was like a scene in news radio that wound up getting cut, but I had to do a thing with a baby chimp.
And this thing climbed on my back with a diaper on, climbed on my back and whacked me in the back.
Just playing.
Just having a good time.
Whacking me in the back.
And I was so stunned by how strong it hit me.
I was like, that is crazy.
gordon ryan
Look at this.
joe rogan
It felt like it was made out of wire.
Like corded, like steel wire.
bryan callen
That's right.
Just a different kind of muscle.
joe rogan
Yeah, but imagine that in a cat that's like on your neck.
unidentified
You're fine.
joe rogan
And you know, this is just doing shit.
Just relax.
bryan callen
Bites through your skull.
joe rogan
Oh, I've seen that with the monkey tears the guy's head off or tears the guy's scalp apart.
gordon ryan
Fucking goes to right.
joe rogan
I hate looking at that.
Yeah, don't show him.
It made me put it up on the screen for everybody.
bryan callen
Oh, I saw this.
This is insane.
gordon ryan
He goes to LA and he just like pulls like half of his fucking scalp.
joe rogan
Just for no reason.
Just feels like it.
bryan callen
Yeah, it's a bad situation.
joe rogan
He just felt like it.
Fuck you.
unidentified
Fuck it.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
Guy didn't do anything wrong.
He's trying to be peaceful.
I am at peace.
I am at peace with this monkey.
Me and a monkey are good friends.
bryan callen
They don't make good pets.
Baboons will challenge you, especially the males.
And they have large teeth.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Animals.
unidentified
All right.

brendan schaub

bryan callen
That's right.
brendan schaub
We don't get suppressed on that.
joe rogan
Is Patreon suppressed you like that, or would you have to go to OnlyFans if you wanted to show your nuts?
bryan callen
If we were talking about me doing a Patreon where I show my nuts, how about if it's just like red-hot chili pepper style?
Yeah, but if I just put my nuts in different situations and we took, we did video and pictures of just my nuts.
joe rogan
I wonder if I'm doing it.
No one.
You're going to make less money.
No one wants to see that.
brendan schaub
You should see these nuts now.
bryan callen
They're good nuts.
brendan schaub
They're big.
unidentified
