Starting point is 00:00:00 Four, three, two, uno, yee-haw! Live, ladies and gentlemen, Eddie Bravo, Joey Motherfucker Diaz, and Brandon Schaub. I love you guys. I love you guys, too. Happy New Year. Happy New Year, motherfuckers. Happy New Year. Everybody who came to the show last night, thanks for coming out.
Starting point is 00:00:21 Sorry we couldn't stick around. I've had a stomach bug since Thursday. I was severely worried that I was going to shit myself during the show last night. Thanks for coming out. Sorry we couldn't stick around. I've had a stomach bug since Thursday. I was severely worried that I was going to shit myself during the show. I was worried I was going to shit myself during the UFC. During the UFC, I didn't eat all day. And then right before it, I'm like, God damn it, I got to eat something. Yeah, my stomach's been fucked. My kids had some sort of a bug, some sort of a flu.
Starting point is 00:00:41 The whole house had it. My wife had it. My daughters had it. And I didn't get it until I got to Vegas. And on Vegas, I worked out with De La Grata Thursday, and I was burping and farting. I was like, what is going on? And then the middle of the night, I woke up.
Starting point is 00:00:53 I was like, oh, this ain't good. This is not good. And then the next day, I couldn't eat anything. Couldn't hold anything down. And right before the UFC, I said, oh, I got to eat something. So I had some quesadillas. I just took a chance. And I was like, I might very well have to sprint to the shitter.
Starting point is 00:01:06 So I got through that. That was during the UFC. Yeah, I was severely worried I was going to have to shit myself. But I pulled it out and then wrecked a bathroom afterwards. Destroy. That time when you smell it coming out of your body. You're like, what in the fuck is in there? And then the same thing yesterday. Couldn't eat all day before the show
Starting point is 00:01:28 Couldn't eat a goddamn thing And then right before we were in the dressing room I go I gotta eat something I'm tired I feel kind of weak So I had some cheese and some meat So that's why I didn't stick around after the show Ladies and gentlemen But if you came we had a good goddamn time
Starting point is 00:01:40 I figured you got sick Because you made like a bear meat fucking omelette or some shit Fed it to your family If I got sick from that figured you got sick because you made like a bear meat fucking omelet or some shit. Fed it to your family. If I got sick from that, no. Everybody got sick from school. Little kids, man. They just get sick. There's a bunch of them together and they just somehow or another. You ever think about that?
Starting point is 00:01:57 Who's the first person who got VD? There had to be one dirty motherfucker that was number... There has to be a patient zero. Snotty nose zero. There's one person like VD, right? That had to come from an individual first, right? Every cold has to come from somewhere.
Starting point is 00:02:15 Apparently a lot of the colds we get come from agriculture. That's why it's all like swine flu and shit like that. I thought the white man brought it here to the Indians. We're like, hey, how you doing? And then they're just sick as fuck and die. Dude, we went over that the other day in a podcast. 90% of all Native Americans were wiped out by diseases that they didn't have an immune system for when the Europeans came in the 1500s.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Fucking white people. Didn't more of them get actually killed in battles? No. No. No, more of them died by disease, believe it or not. Fucking 90% of the population. It's really crazy. Where'd you get that from?
Starting point is 00:02:50 The library? We're not doing that today, Eddie Bravo. Ain't happening. We're not doing that. We ain't having it. We're not doing that today. What figure? Library.com, yo.
Starting point is 00:03:02 So UFC 207, that was one of the craziest events of all time and watching that main event was it was like that was it was surreal first of all surreal because i was my body was all weirded out because i was a little out of it about to pass out about the shit all over my chair but But it was also just bizarre. That was the least competitive main event, other than Aldo and McGregor, but that was one dynamic shot to the chin that knocked him out. Everything about that was off. Can you think about another main event championship level
Starting point is 00:03:43 where it was that kind of big of a discrepancy you know what i'm saying like it wasn't even a fight and i think leading up to it there were some kind of red flags that you saw leading up to it if you think back now that she was in great shape though everybody said right physically physically though physically she looked great but like was what kind of sparring was she doing you know one of the things i was thinking when she was hitting pads she's standing there hitting pads with edmund i was like they're standing right in front of each other like she's not moving like she's just hitting pads pop pop pop pop pop pads are tough to tell though right because sometimes they're doing it for the camera if the countdown crew's there you don't want to show your new shit but also what did people think
Starting point is 00:04:20 was going to happen like did you think this whole time when she's shooting these movies doing so edmund her come up with a plan for her to stick on the outside, jab and move? That's not in her DNA. That's not even good enough anyway. She had to close the distance and clinch. That should have been the only plan. The idea of standing with Amanda Nunes is just ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:04:39 The difference in punching power is literally double. But we've seen her fight big punchers before. Who? Betch. Could hit pretty hard. I'm not saying similar, but I'm saying what Betch did, she was a beast. Betch has decent power and she's very aggressive. She throws volume strikes, but she throws their arms.
Starting point is 00:04:56 She doesn't hit nearly as hard as Amanda. Amanda torques her whole body in this shit. I agree, Joe. And Betch's arms are this long. Yeah. And that's all fine and dandy. And that's all fine and dandy. Goddamn telephone poles.
Starting point is 00:05:09 And that's all fine, but don't you think the game plan should have been get her to the ground, engaged, and she tried that a little bit. She didn't shoot that. She was already lit up. She wasn't there, though, mentally. That's why I'm saying there's things leading up to it,
Starting point is 00:05:21 and I think the biggest red flag for me, and you know Dana better than anyone, he's a promoter through and through. If not the best of all time, I can't think of another one. Don King, I guess. But still, for him to say, yeah, you can skip all the media shit and just focus on the fight, I was like, God, that just doesn't seem right, man. You know why?
Starting point is 00:05:40 She's managed by or she's handled by William Morris in her endeavor, WME. Yes. WME owns UFC now I'm aware. I'm sure that's what that's the only decision was his decision. It was his decision He was I'm the one who let we agreed to this. It was in her contract. It's one time thing I'm never doing again. I thought god damn that is so she must have put it in the contract She must have said this is what I want to do. I don't want to talk to any media I just maybe that's not a red flag to you. Not if Connor did it. I
Starting point is 00:06:01 I don't want to talk to any media. I just want to go on a train. Maybe. That's not a red flag to you? Not if Conor did it. I mean, Conor doesn't have the choice. Conor can stand between himself. But if Conor did it. But if Conor did it.
Starting point is 00:06:09 If Conor said, fuck all this fucking media. I'm going to Dublin. I'm going to train. He would never do that. If he did, I'd have zero problem with it. Is that not a red flag, though, to anyone involved at all? No. For Dana to say, all good, don't do anything.
Starting point is 00:06:23 But here's the thing. She goes out. She goes out, grabs hold of Manunez, flips her on her head semi-unconscious, catches her in an armbar. She's the new champ in 35 seconds. You're not saying this. I disagree. No! You wouldn't say there's a red flag if she went out and dominated and got an
Starting point is 00:06:37 armbar in the first round. You would definitely not say skipping the media is a red flag. You're only saying it because this is like armchair quarterbacking. It's not though because I said it was a red flag before this. So if she did interviews afterwards, let's say she went out there, dominated her in a minute, submitted her, and then she did interviews afterwards, that's a little different. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:06:58 Because she's just saying, I'm not doing any media at all. Even post, you're saying? Even post. Yeah, well, she doesn't want to talk after that. I mean, why would you want to talk after that? The other thing in the whole sell on this was she's serious now. Oh, my God. She's focused, knowing her.
Starting point is 00:07:11 She's serious now. To what extent? The whole thing was like this big, obvious marketing perspective, like a promotional Hollywood perspective. Like they had the movie, which is a really good guy you pumped up, like that whole thing about her coming back, and they lift up the garage door and you see her working out really hard. What they did is they created a great hype piece.
Starting point is 00:07:33 If you're in the Ronda Rousey business. Exactly. Amanda Nunes going, what the? Exactly. The best was their picture promoting this UFC and it's a picture of Ronda in her fight gear and Ronda in her street clothes goes, she's back, 207. It's like, fuck, man. What about Amanda?
Starting point is 00:07:50 When I say, in this crazy world of MMA. I saw that picture. Who did that picture? Was that an official UFC picture? That was an official UFC kind of social media post. Wow. It's crazy, man. Because now what do you do?
Starting point is 00:08:01 It's also crazy because it's crazy for a marketing perspective. I mean, a lot of people thought that Ronda was going to win. A lot of people. I was 100% who the fuck knows. Me too. That's exactly how I felt. When I was watching that fight play out, I was like, who the fuck knows? No idea.
Starting point is 00:08:16 I mean, you could see, look, Ronda looked like she was in amazing shape. You think about the things that Ronda's been able to do in the past, like Sarah McMahon. You would think, well, maybe she ties her up in a clinch, blasts her with a knee to the body, flips her on her back, and arm bars her. Who the fuck knows? If she gets you on the ground, her arm bar technique is outstanding. It's just some of the best, if not the best, I've ever seen inside the octagon. Probably the best. That could have happened.
Starting point is 00:08:39 But it was so who the fuck knows. But the moment she got hit, she's not moving her head at all. She's standing straight up in the air. And then I see her legs get close together. And that's when you know someone's really hurt. When someone gets lit up and then they start moving but their legs are too close together, it's just not working right. It's not like they kind of know what to do, but it's just not.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Their balance isn't good. There's no head movement. She was probably hurt with like the second or third punch that Amanda hit her with. She was probably on Queer Street. That's what woke her up. She didn't know where she was until she got hit, Joe. Look at that one. She got hit when you go, ooh, ooh, she's hurt, she's hurt.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Look at her face, her hands. You even said it yourself, she threw up a kick. She threw some kicks to try to keep Amanda off. I think she didn't realize. I think when Amanda hits girls, they just go, holy shit. But what else would you expect in that? You know what I'm saying? You don't realize until you get hit, but you hear all the criticism now of Edmund,
Starting point is 00:09:38 who's obviously a terrible coach, but take that out of it. If you bring a horse to water and they can't drink, there's nothing else you can do. So if mentally she doesn't want to be in there, it doesn't matter. Do you think she didn't want to be in there? Why do you say that? It didn't look like the same tenacity that we're used to seeing. She looked super tenacious until she got cracked. Joe, it was 44 seconds.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Yeah, but you don't need more than that. When she ate that first jab? She got hurt with a right hand, maybe 10, 50. We can watch the whole fight. Yeah, we can. It's 48 seconds. It's on YouTube already. Yeah, 50. We can watch the whole fight. Let's watch the whole fight. It's 40 seconds. It's on YouTube already.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Yeah, it's everywhere. It doesn't matter. You don't think she's faced tough fighters before? What do you think it is? I don't understand why you're even saying this. You see that she got hit, and you see she got hurt, and you've been hit and hurt before. Correct. You know what happens.
Starting point is 00:10:20 You just don't know what the fuck's going on. Correct. I think Amanda hits. I don't think that jab put her lights on. Correct. I think Amanda hits. I don't think that jab put her lights out. It wasn't just a jab, dude. She hit her with a right hand. It was the first jab that landed. The first jab?
Starting point is 00:10:31 When she went into close distance. The first jab landed, but then she got hit with many punches. I don't understand why you're confused as to the result. I mean, she got hit by the biggest power puncher in the 135-pound division by far. There's not a single girl in that division that punches like Amanda does. I agree with that. But it wasn't a right hand right away. Yes, it was.
Starting point is 00:10:49 It was a jab right away. It was a jab right away. But a right hand right after that. Once Rhonda tried to close distance. It was 40 seconds of Amanda punching Rhonda in the face until Rhonda went out. Like the idea that something's confusing, that she didn't look like she wanted to be there. She was hurt multiple times in those exchanges. I just don't, I think we're doing a lot of armchair quarterbacking, right?
Starting point is 00:11:10 Who the fuck knows what was going on in her head? What you're speculating whether or not she wanted to be there after she got hit. The problem is she might have been just rocked. And there's also the reality that she was knocked out fucking cold a year ago. And it was a bad beating and then a vicious head kick and there is something about those goddamn neck kicks man there's something about when when someone shins you in the neck like she got shinned and your whole body just goes limp you're doing so much damage in there but she had 411 days off that's nice i think it was just bad
Starting point is 00:11:44 strategy it's really simple. The strategy was not good. That's possible too. Look, I was the one who said way early on, I think Amanda's her most dangerous challenge. Because Amanda hits so fucking hard. After she starched Sarah McMahon, and when she was
Starting point is 00:11:59 beating up Misha, I was like, Jesus Christ. She punches harder than anybody in that division. She's got dangerous like, dangerous weapons with her hands. But I really think there's a lot of people that get KO'd like that, and they are never the same again. I agree. They can't absorb a shot anymore. And then also in your brain, according to Chuck Liddell,
Starting point is 00:12:17 he was telling me about it, like, because, you know, Chuck was so tough that he would, like, just fucking use his chin, sort of like Lineker does. Like, it's part of his defense, like, knowing that he would like just fucking use his chin sort of like lineker does like it's part of his defense like knowing that he can absorb shots and after a while his brain was like hey man fuck you like his brain was just like we're not gonna do this and shut up yeah just shuts off early i also think protect you there's a certain level where they're where they're that great and you look at like a tiger woods or mike tyson when that foundation gets a little shaky, they're just never the same.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Yeah, that's true. It's just never. They're like, I'm not God's gift to the UFC. Exactly. No, the MMA gods don't give a shit. Exactly. And then, like we said, even if she was undefeated and she fought Nunes, Nunes is going to give her problems. Because if you watch like the Misha Tate fight, Misha Tate, like even though she beat Misha Tate twice, Misha Tate gave her a hard time.
Starting point is 00:13:04 There's some good scrambles. Misha Tate gave her a hard time. There were some good scrambles. Misha Tate hit her with some punches. If Amanda hits you with punches like that, you're fucked. You can't make mistakes. You're in trouble. Yeah. In a lot of ways, she's like a female Rumble in that she might not be able to close a show with one shot like Rumble can. But if you make mistakes, you get stung so bad.
Starting point is 00:13:23 And you see it with Sarah McMahon fight is a perfect example. She cracks Sarah with her right hand. You see her whole face is like, what the fuck? Nobody hits them like that. Nobody. And she's long. Amanda catches you on the end of those punches too. She's great at distance.
Starting point is 00:13:39 I also think that the game's evolving so fast where Amanda, all she cares about is being champ all she does is train that's the only thing she gives a fuck about i think we saw the same thing in the dominic cruz uh cody garbant fight all cody wants to do is be champ dominic's doing analyst work he is for the so i think there's there's this kind of change of hands right now where you're seeing these guys who are they're all in and that's what you have to do to be in this game this day and age. Guys are too good. They're too good now.
Starting point is 00:14:08 I think you're dead right. I think you're dead right about that. Here we go. We'll watch the whole thing live now. Give us some volume, young Jamie. So here it is. So that jab landed with five seconds. Look at this.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Jab right there. Watch this. She stung her right there. One, two, two. One, two, two. Yeah, see? So she stung 10 seconds in. We'reung her right there. One, two, two. One, two, two. Yeah, see? So she stung 10 seconds in. We're at 4.43.
Starting point is 00:14:28 We're 15 seconds in, and she's already right there. She's fucked. Right there, she's fucked. That was a super hard right hand. Super fucked. And this is bad. This is real bad. It's hard to watch.
Starting point is 00:14:37 It's real hard to watch. Hard to watch. Boom to the body, too. She ripped that shot to the body. So, like, the idea that she didn't want to be there, 10 seconds into the fight, she didn't know what the fuck was going. Oh, that left hook with the right hand and that right hand behind it. This is horrific, man.
Starting point is 00:14:52 It's tough to watch. Boom, boom, boom. Goddamn. Good stoppage by Herb. Great stoppage, but goddamn, Amanda Nunes is good. She put a finger up to her mouth, walked right up to Edmund, looked at him and went, shh. So gangster.
Starting point is 00:15:08 So gangster. You know what? Rhonda's still standing. Well. She got heart. She's in another dimension. She got heart. There's no doubt about it. She's got heart.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Look at that. There's no doubt she's tough. And also, she's got that thick old neck. That helps. Look how long Amanda's arms are. She's great at keeping distance and not crowding herself. Well, Amanda has wide shoulders, and that helps, too, and then long arms as well. And she's got awesome distance, man.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Her ability to catch you at the very end of the punches where all the power is. Because if you're punching someone and you want to hit them here, but they just move forward a foot, you lose like 90% of your power. Do you think Amanda can fight guys at 135? Well, bad guys. Not good guys? No, not like the super high level guys. Like she's not going to beat TJ Dillashaw. What about top 10?
Starting point is 00:15:56 No, it's changed now, man. I think if you asked me that same question three or four years ago, I'd have a different answer. But like that division is so stacked now. It's like when 135 first opened up, it was in the UFC, there wasn't as many guys that were that elite. You know, there's like even to watch the guys who are really good improve. Like you saw the Cody fight where he was fucking fantastic against Dominic. But how goddamn good did TJ look against Lineker? Completely nullified Lineker. Nullified him. Lineker,
Starting point is 00:16:28 he's like one of the best examples of a guy with absolutely freakish physical attributes. A fucking iron jaw. Iron jaw. I've never even seen the guy get hurt. He gets hit by everybody. He gets head kicked. He gets punched. Rob Font said he hit him with the hardest punch he ever hit anybody with in his
Starting point is 00:16:44 life. And he goes, he didn't even acknowledge that he hit him. He just walked right forward. He said he hit him with the hardest punch he ever hit anybody with in his life. And he goes, he didn't even acknowledge that he hit him. He just walked right forward. He said he hit him with a body shot. Felt like he got hit by a car. He didn't look like that. That Lineker, I don't think that same Lineker showed up on Friday night. TJ nullified him. He didn't have a chance.
Starting point is 00:16:56 He did, but Lineker was very hesitant. And I think it was because of TJ's, the way he was fighting him, with the feints, the takedowns, the kicks, and throwing that head kick to the body kick. But he was very tentative, super tentative. He got out beat. He threw him in the truck, almost had him in a cap slicer. Yes.
Starting point is 00:17:11 I thought he was going to go for the twister. I was like, oh, my God, if he goes for the twister. But he went for the cap slicer. But I'm like, I looked at him like he's not going to tap that. It's just pain. He needed a stomp down. TJ looked amazing. Amazing.
Starting point is 00:17:24 Yeah, and the timing in those takedowns. Like lightning bolts. It looks like he's throwing a punch and he's underneath you. It was so nasty. He's so fast, man. But God damn, Cody Garbrandt. What the fuck? God damn.
Starting point is 00:17:38 And I'll admit, I said, I think Cody's going to be champ. Just not yet. He's going to be your champ, but he's not ready for Dom yet. Then I opened him around. I was like, what the fuck? He looks so good. He's mimicking him. He's doing break dancing.
Starting point is 00:17:50 He's doing push-ups and shit. Well, he fucked with Dom McHugh's head. And that was one of the things I was thinking of. Like, this kid's been in a lot of street fights. Like, I don't know if this trash talk is going to work on him the way it works on other guys. Like, he said he was fine in there. Like, I asked him about it. He's like, I like that. He goes, I feel calm. calm he goes i know i can stay calm when that's going on and i think he's
Starting point is 00:18:09 just like this young hungry dude who he took it personal and a lot of guys get real emotional and i was worried that cody come out super emotional and just get murked like taken down just you know the real emotional like a although did against McGregor, which just forgets about his technique and rushes and gets murked? But, dude, he just took all that and the best performance. I mean, can you name another performance like that where a guy, remember, he was even number one contender. He's five or six in the world. I think he was eight.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Was he eight? I thought he moved to six. Maybe. That might have been some shenanigans. Yeah, right? Who knows the Cheeto finger rankings? Yeah. But still, motherfucker went from five, six rank, number one.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Number one. God, that's a big stretch. And beat him handily. It wasn't a close decision. Dom won one round. Yeah. And I love Dom. He won one round.
Starting point is 00:18:54 And Cody dropped him, hurt him. We still don't exactly know where the cut came from. Some people are saying he came from a punch. I heard people online say he came from a kick. Definitely not a headbutt. The guys in the truck said it was a headbutt. Your truck boys were off. Cause I heard when they said that, I'm like, what the fuck are they watching? Yeah. They, they, uh, pulled it up for me, but it's hard. See, while
Starting point is 00:19:12 the fight's going on, they'll do that. And they'll tell me it's a headbutt and see, I have two monitors in front of me. I have one right here and then I have one over the side and they'll say, like, look on monitor B and then they'll show it to me. But I can't really, it's hard for me to do that while I'm watching the actual fight. So they'll show it to me and usually I just take their word for it. But occasionally you get... That's fair.
Starting point is 00:19:32 But I think in the replay that they showed, maybe they saw different and didn't show the correct one. The replay that they showed, it definitely wasn't a headbutt. Well, they definitely did collide heads. For sure. For sure. And so who knows?
Starting point is 00:19:42 It was hard to tell. But who gives a fuck? Either way. It was a big-ass cut. Big-ass cut on Dom's eyebrow. And so who knows? It was hard to tell. But who gives a fuck? Either way. It was a big-ass cut. Big-ass cut on Dom's eyebrow. And he got drunk. How good is Dominic Cruz took a punch, too, by the way? My God.
Starting point is 00:19:51 His chin? He gets cracked. His legs go stiff. He goes down. And a couple times, Cody acted almost like he wasn't going to follow him to the ground and beat on him on the ground and almost acted like he was done. He was calling him up or like a Mark Hunt kind of walk-off KO. You better get on him, son.
Starting point is 00:20:08 What are you doing? Didn't even make an attempt to get on him. That's weird, right? Well, maybe he doesn't want to have anything to do with the ground. Maybe he feels like that's where Dominic might have a chance. God damn, it's not Bouchesha down there. Relax, son. I don't know what Dominic Cruz's ground game is like.
Starting point is 00:20:19 I thought he just wanted to punish him, too, maybe. Does Dominic Cruz have any submissions? Oh, no, Dominic Cruz is really good on the ground. Yeah. Oh, hell yeah. I mean, on his Does Dominic Cruz have any submissions? Oh, no. Dominic Cruz is really good on the ground. Yeah. Oh, hell yeah. I mean, on his record, does he have any submissions? Yeah, he has submissions, usually from guillotines, though. Back in the day, WC.
Starting point is 00:20:31 His jiu-jitsu's really good, trust me. No, no. You train with him? He's a black belt, for sure. No, I've seen him compete. In jiu-jitsu tournaments? Yeah. And he wrestled, as well.
Starting point is 00:20:43 He's a wrestler. But for a guy not to go down in his guard, that's some shit. That's like some Conor McGregor Diaz shit where you're like, I can lose too easily down there. Well, I mean, it might not have been that at all. It might have been even more simple. That's a lost, Jamie. Rear naked. Yeah, so he's got a rear naked there.
Starting point is 00:21:01 So he lost to, he's got one rear naked. He's not known for his guard, though, Joe. You're right. Well, who knows? Still, you don't know what he could do. But the bottom line was Cody wanted to keep the fight standing. I think he just wanted to punish him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:13 He might have thought it was over. He hit him so hard, he might have thought the fight was over. He seemed to, the answer for Dominic, I mean, at least it worked for Cody, was it or was it not? I'm no striker. That he made Dominic come to him. And it's different when. was it or was it not? I'm no striker. That he made Dominic come to him and it's different when is that what it was? Well sort of but it's also you gotta give credit to his team.
Starting point is 00:21:32 See Justin Buchholz and those guys have been imitating, they've fought Dom so many times they can imitate his movements so they can mimic his shit. So when they're sparring they do that fake false start you know cause Dom does this thing where he false starts, and then he starts. And you never know which one's going to be a kick.
Starting point is 00:21:49 It's a lot of patterns that Dom throws up. Feints. So they figured out how to do that, and they mimicked it, and they watched him so many times that they can get it down to a tee. And Cody didn't buy into the feints. He was like, come on, come within this range. And he kept baiting him and baiting him
Starting point is 00:22:05 and they'd make it count. Yeah, the bottom line is if his brain's not confused and he just knows that in these exchanges Dom's going to be there and he's going to do some,
Starting point is 00:22:13 you know, he's got some really unpredictable movement Dom does, but he does like a bunch of things a lot. And then commits. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:22:19 and so he timed those things and caught him with some fucking vicious punches, man. Yeah, and yeah, he wasn't, like Dom fights a lot of guys and they're like, what the fuck? It's like that Chris Tucker movie where you get hit in the face like, all right, which one of y'all kicked me? And you don't know where it's coming from, but he just, Garbrandt just never bought it. He was like, I'm just going to wait for you to commit.
Starting point is 00:22:39 You can do all that jazz and I'm just going to wait right here. It's also a guy who's been boxing when he was real young. That's what we were talking about last night. he was 32 and two amateur record you look at that but in the ufc compared to other fighters that boxing comes in handy huge he was catching he was cody was catching dominic cruz on the way out which that which a lot of people don't catch him on the way out. You never see it. No, he was catching him on the way out. And the speed and precision of those punches.
Starting point is 00:23:10 And the power. Glorious. For five rounds. And then people forget Cody in high school. I think he was first team All-State out of Ohio, which is a big deal out there. He had scholarships to compete in Division I wrestling. He was like, no, I'm just going to fight professionally full-time that's what kind of stud you're dealing with yeah and his his uncle was an alternate for the olympic boxing team so i mean he comes from a long line of just
Starting point is 00:23:34 savages too pretty crazy yeah this his countdown piece was pretty amazing i didn't see it i wish that uh fighters appreciate the science of boxing more. When GSP, one of those fights he trained with Freddie Roach, and he came back with that fucking jab, it made waves, but a lot of people didn't copy that. Well, Arlovsky did first. It was like, no, let's just go, boosh! You know, he's like, holy shit. Amanda Nunes' boxing trainer is Howard Davis' son
Starting point is 00:24:02 in American Top Team, so she's... I don't know why people don't incorporate that that much more. I think there's so much to learn. You said there's three levels of striking, pretty much. In the UFC, you know, we had a discussion last night when the jiu-jitsu guy, 170, came in. You know, he came in. He was a great jiu-jitsu guy. He won a—what's his name?
Starting point is 00:24:23 The guy that triangle, the chail from the top? Damian Maia. Damian Maia. That guy came in, he was a great jiu-jitsu guy. He won a, what's his name? The guy that triangle, the tail from the top? Damien Maia. Damien Maia. That guy came in, he won the first couple matches jiu-jitsu. Then somebody told him he was a boxer. Yes. And he started getting lit up. It happens.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Now he's fucking back to just hit me once, I'm going to grab your leg and it's over. There you go. That could be Ronda. There you go. That could be Ronda. 100%. If Ronda just said, okay, I'm going to take a year off. I'm going to go to the Olympic wrestling facility, wherever.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Just focus on wrestling. Still work on your striking goal with Dwayne Ludwig. That would be awesome. Or Rafael Cordero. Mix it up. You know what I mean? You've got to change shit up now, obviously. But wrestling should be the focus.
Starting point is 00:25:03 When you see a Ronda Rousey promo, you shouldn't see her hitting mitts. You should see her shooting, getting the clinch, double leg takedown, singles. It should be wrestling every day, twice a day. But think about her camp, her whole camp. It's just a boxing gym. Her head coach is a boxing coach. So they want her to be this boxer. People sold her as the next Mike Tyson
Starting point is 00:25:26 so you have all that coming and she was murking girls remember I was on board too I'm like damn her striking she's knocking bitches out it's the level it's like what's the level she's knocking them out at yeah but I think the media and a lot of people are like dang she's a knockout artist so you hear those
Starting point is 00:25:42 and her camp's going you're a knockout artist she can strike with anyone right Right. And her coach, like, look, that was always the case. You remember when Gerald fought in the UFC? It was always the case when Gerald was a, was he a black belt back then or a brown belt? No, he was a brown belt. Really good jiu-jitsu guy, though. But his fucking
Starting point is 00:25:58 striking coach had him convinced that he was a Thai boxer. He's like, you're going to go out there and get a kick. And I remember Eddie and I would train, watch him hit the bag and hit the mitts and stuff. And I was like, man, there are some scary guys in the UFC. And he got a real scary one in Josh Thompson. And Josh Thompson was like, yep, none of that. Crack.
Starting point is 00:26:16 Crack. No, no, it didn't go down like that. Josh the Punk Thompson? No, what ended up happening is Gerald's Jiu-jitsu is Gerald Streven, as we're talking about. He was my first student. Before 10th Planet, I was teaching jiu-jitsu to a guy named Gerald Streven. He was a blue belt at the time. And I brought him up, showed him.
Starting point is 00:26:36 He got really good at the twister, really good at rubber guard. First meat hook, rubber guard triangle in MMA history in a gladiator challenge show. He was kicking ass, and then he fought John Silva in England, in London, and it was a spectacular match. Joe showed that fight to Dana White. Dana White gave him a shot, gave him Josh Thompson. Boom, right off the bat. He started working Muay Thai with this Muay Thai coach,
Starting point is 00:27:03 and it was six months. He was training six months with them, right? And he wrestled in high school as well, so he'd been grappling total at that point. Is that Joey? Are you breathing into the mic? No. I'm hearing some— For sure, Joey.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Are you kidding? I was confusing my head. It sounded like a submarine. I hear it, too. It sounded like a submarine, right? it too. Submarine, right? But anyways. And it's an interesting point. I was just thinking about this.
Starting point is 00:27:31 It's the exact same thing. It's when a striking, like let's say I got a striker. Muay Thai came in. He'd been doing Muay Thai for 10 years, and he wanted to learn the ground. And he was doing MMA. He's already fighting MMA. It comes up a lot. I'm going to show him jiu-jitsu. I'm going to be in his corner.
Starting point is 00:27:48 I'm not going to be telling him to take his ass down and work at fucking jiu-jitsu. Pull guard. I'm like, you just... It's been six months. Let's relax. Egos get involved. What I want to see is that dude win with his Muay Thai and it gives me another fight
Starting point is 00:28:04 to get his jiu-jitsu together. The longer we avoid the jiu-jitsu, in my eyes, the better. We got away with another one. Now we have another four or five months to work on the jiu-jitsu. That's a good way of looking at it. There's a lot of strikers out there. There's a lot of striking coaches out there
Starting point is 00:28:19 that'll take some grappler in, teach him striking for six months, and then corner him in an MMA fight and instruct him to stand with this motherfucker. Do you remember what he said? And I got to pull the guy to the side and say, dude, don't listen to this guy. You're not standing with this motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Do you remember what he said? You know how many times I had to say that to my guys? I go, don't listen to this motherfucker. Always. You're taking this motherfucker to the ground. Even Hodger Gracie came out throwing jams. I remember what he said. Do you remember what he said to him?
Starting point is 00:28:45 He's been ready. Yes in six months. He said it was bangkok ready. He's gonna go out there But you know what it was it was a good thing It's a good thing because this is what happened is he had him so believing that he was bangkok ready after six months of Muay Thai Then when he did the walkout in the UFC, he came out with full Muay Thai shit. Yes! Dude, with the Muay Thai headband. I love it.
Starting point is 00:29:10 Muay Thai bicep bracelets or whatever the fuck they are. Traditional shit. Dude, full Muay Thai garb, dancing and doing the Muay Thai thing. He was in the octagon and did, you know, he went around the octagon and blessed like each. Doing this? Yes, doing that. Doing this?
Starting point is 00:29:24 And Josh Thompson sitting there, and I talked to Josh Thompson since blessed. Doing this? Yes, doing that. Doing this? And Josh Thompson's sitting there, and I talked to Josh Thompson since then. He's a killer. Josh Thompson wrestled in high school, and he's a really good striker. He was fucking up people off his back. He was triangling people. We knew all about Josh Thompson.
Starting point is 00:29:36 Gerald was not, you know, he was not in the best frame of mind for that fight. You know what I mean? Because Josh Thompson was a fucking killer back then. He was a killer. Well, he was in his prime back then that was Josh when he was he was one of the top like five or six guys in the division before the UFC got rid of the 155 pound division it was him and Eve Edwards yeah and Eve Edwards
Starting point is 00:29:58 knocked him out that was like Eve Edwards became the uncrowned king so this one happened so luckily and this is according to Josh Thompson. Josh goes, dude, I was so worried about his stand-up based on all that Muay Thai ritual stuff that when we saw the fight, my whole thing was how are we possibly... No, no. The whole thing was for sure Josh Thompson's not going to want to go to the ground with Gerald. That's where all his good shit is.
Starting point is 00:30:23 He's fucking people up in MMA. All his fights up until the UFC was fucking people up with his jiu-jitsu. So how are we going to get the fight to the ground? We were thinking about pulling an elaborate, unorthodox guard pull. How are we going to do it? That's what I was thinking. I go, because six months, I go, I know he thinks he's Bangkok ready. That's six months, man.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Bangkok ready. That's a great T-shirt. So Josh takes him down, and I'm sitting there thinking, what the fuck? Thank you. He takes Gerald down because he's so worried about his movie Die. And Gerald right away throws up a hellfire with his guard. He threw a lot of heat. It was pretty badass to see.
Starting point is 00:31:03 But at the end of the day, first, he almost had him in an armbar. Josh pulls out. And then there's like a scramble on the ground. Gerald goes for a leg lock because he finally pulls out of his guard. And then Gerald was really good at leg locks. And he went for a leg lock. And then Josh Thompson hit him like in the back of the head and knocked him out. Josh is a killer.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Yeah, that was one of those. Yeah, that was one of those. Going for leg locks is risky. What started this all off? People, those coaches that get these fucking people convinced that they're a killer in one particular area or not. You see it in every camp, though. Every camp, it happens. Especially if you have a superstar camp.
Starting point is 00:31:39 This is coming from my own personal experience. You have a superstar wrestling coach, boxing coach, jiu-jitsu coach. You're spending your time with them. They want to see you win with their shit. Yes. And it's nice. Even strength and conditioning coaches go, you see the way he tossed them off? The W should be number fucking one.
Starting point is 00:31:58 It's nice when they win with some shit, of course. Like, fuck that. You showed me that shit. That's always good. But it's all about the goddamn W. That's number fucking one. That's why you gotta have a head coach. You gotta have a head coach that's not a striking coach,
Starting point is 00:32:11 like a head coach, like a Matt Hume. That's a head coach. When he works with DJ, they do everything. They work on submissions together, spar together. They work on all these different techniques, and it's total technique and tactics oriented conversations. How many
Starting point is 00:32:28 Matt Humes are there though in the world? There's like five. If that. But only one. If that. Honestly, in my mind, it's like he, if he's not number one, it's him and Firas Zahabi. I count two that can do it all. Yeah. That really know the game in and out, can do a game plan from standing to wrestling to
Starting point is 00:32:44 grappling. Yeah. I mean, I think those one guy might be better for you. One guy might be better for the other. But those know the game in and out can do a game plan from standing to wrestling to grappling yeah i mean i think those that one guy might be better for you one guy might be better for the other but those the those are the top dogs there's two because there's such wizards on the ground or wizards to and they they could physically do it too that's like a big part of it and plus they know the transition like sometimes if you go to a pure jiu-jitsu guy like dude this isn't gonna work if i commit both hands this i'm gonna get blasts in the face do you remember when george gregel like he was a black belt in brazilian jiu-jitsu back when there was very few black belts but then he became he wanted to stand and bang with everybody
Starting point is 00:33:12 and that was his thing yeah became his thing standing and banging and that's that happens so often it's it's so crazy and it's so rare that a guy comes back and figures it out like damian maya house damian mayia tried it that way for a while. Yep. He got sucked into it. And he figured it out. And that's exactly what Ronda should do. What's that expression?
Starting point is 00:33:31 You go to the dance floor, what took you to there? What's that expression? I don't fucking know. Yeah. I know what you're trying to say. And what happens is, a lot of early, I saw a lot of high-level jiu-jitsu guys come into the ufc that their hands are men's amends yeah like it's like a three striking and they never evolved to that now the striking is evolving quick we get jacare quick yeah quick you know it used to be that the only guys the the only
Starting point is 00:33:59 black belts that got to the ufc were like like the guys that were only dedicated their lives to jujitsu. They just started learning striking. You could tell, you could tell like, holy shit, they're, they're just trying to fucking get some kind of clinch. It's obvious. But now what there's so many goddamn black belts in Brazil now that it's not about, it's all about, you know, here's, here's a hundred black belts in the camp. We're only going to take the best strikers, like the fierce ones. You know, the days of pure jiu-jitsu guys coming out and looking like this, they're long gone now. You can't get through the minor leagues with striking like that.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Well, in a way, your attitude is like, I got this. Right? Yeah. My first three years in comedy, I didn't write shit. I would just go up on stage and do that new york shit what do you do for a living yeah it was 50 50 what do you do for a living you do this i got really good at it but i couldn't make a living doing that if i'm bombing i could fall back to that shit and rock the house i don't work that muscle anymore do you know i'm
Starting point is 00:35:04 saying when i first started comedy i had to go on stage every tuesday in front of the same fucking and rock the house. I don't work that muscle anymore. Do you know what I'm saying? When I first started comedy, I had to go on stage every Tuesday in front of the same fucking people. So you had to write a new five minutes. For two years, I did that. There were some weeks I couldn't do it. So I just decided just to improvise. I got so good at improvising. By the time I got to Seattle and started featuring,
Starting point is 00:35:23 I was a really good improviser. So what are you saying about how does this equate to fighting i don't i don't improvise no more because i got it when you first met me at the store 15 years ago i would go on stage and do seven minutes of material and the rest was improvising i thought it was cool right it was chic and when it works it works but when doesn't work, it's a nightmare. But I'm pretty good at it. I can really improvise pretty good. Do I still do it today? No.
Starting point is 00:35:51 Because you have to evolve. I can fall back on it, dog. I can fall back on my wrestling. That's my wrestling. That's my pedigree. When I call you and I make you laugh on the phone, it's like that. I didn't call you with a script. When I call you, me and you are talking about something.
Starting point is 00:36:05 That's not a script. That's me and you driving, getting excited. I got that pedigree. I could rock that pedigree, but that pedigree isn't going to take me to the next level. You have to sit, and you have to write, and you have to evolve different things. So I think that when I'm a wrestler, okay, I'm a black belt in jiu-jitsu. I've been doing this since I was 18.
Starting point is 00:36:21 I'm fucking 31 now. I've won Abu Dhabi, do Abu Dhabi, no G-Pan Americans. I got this. I've been doing this since I was 18. I'm fucking 31 now. I've won Abu Dhabi, Dubu Dhabi, Nogi, Pan Americans. I got this. I got this, Joe. Yeah, I think there's two different styles of winners. There's the all-around guy like DJ and then there's a guy like Anderson Silva
Starting point is 00:36:38 that really, I mean, he might submit people, but it's so rare. And when he submitted Chael Sonnen, it's almost like Chael Sonnen gave it to him. I mean, that fucking arm-ball-triangle combination wasn't even locked in. It wasn't even locked in. I mean, it was kind of over the calf a little. It wasn't clamped down. I mean, maybe Chael was so exhausted that he had a tap,
Starting point is 00:36:56 but honestly, I mean, if you ask him, he was pretty honest about having mental breakdowns in fights. He did it with Paulo Filho. Remember, same thing? Chael said in the Anderson Silva fight though he said going in he goes I know I'm gonna get submitted I'm gets submitted so when he was taken down he's in his guard for like three minutes he's going it's just a matter of time he's gonna catch me he's gonna catch against Anderson
Starting point is 00:37:18 Silva well he had been submitted a few times and fights that he was winning you know it's just the whole thing is it. But my point is, Anderson's never been a great jiu-jitsu guy. He tapped out Dan Henderson. Remember that? He beat the fuck out of him before he tapped him. Yeah, he ran naked, Chuck. But he rocked him. It was a beautiful technique.
Starting point is 00:37:37 That is true. He did get his back and choke him out. I disagree with you on that triangle. That triangle was legit as hell. Let's look at it. Chael Sonnen versus Anderson Silva triangle. If I remember it correctly, it wasn't fully locked in. There was a little bit of space. It doesn't have to be fully locked in. I felt like Chael tapped. It all depends on how much
Starting point is 00:37:54 you're squeezing and leg curling. It's true. And he has long legs, so dudes with long legs leave openings. That's true, too. It's a good point. To Joe's point, though, he was exhausted. But my point is, Anderson Silva's a goddamn specialist. His specialty is Muay Thai. His specialty is striking. When you look at Anderson Silva's highlight reels,
Starting point is 00:38:09 it's that front kick to the face on Vitor. It's that fucking knee to the body on Stefan Bonner. That's his gift. So here it is. Jail's beating the brakes off him at this point. Yeah, this is... Jail had a beautiful double, didn't he? Yeah, he really did.
Starting point is 00:38:23 He drove in so hard on that double. He takes him down. Should he fight in a couple weeks? This is the Chael had a beautiful double, didn't he? Yeah, he really did. He drove in so hard on that double. He takes him down. Should he fight in a couple weeks? This is the fourth round. Let's go to the end of the fight. Okay, let's see this. This is where Chael stands up and sits back. That's tight as fuck, dude.
Starting point is 00:38:38 Let me see. That's tight as fuck. Oh, that's tight as fuck. That's a lot tighter than I thought. Well, when he finally got the arm bar, he opened up the leg. Yeah, that's what it is. Because it looked like he was about to swing the leg over the head. I haven't seen that in a while.
Starting point is 00:38:50 Go back to that again. But right there, it's tight as fuck. That's pretty goddamn tight. Look, right there, it's tight. I take it back, Chael. Right when he gets the arm, that's when he opens it up. Now it's a different thing. Now it's an arm bar.
Starting point is 00:38:59 So he does like that. Yeah, there he opens it up. Yep, that's right. So my point being, the best guys at one particular thing are pretty rare. Like the guys like in Anderson that are just so elite at striking that nobody wants to strike with them, or a guy like Damian Maia, so elite at jiu-jitsu that he makes guys like Carlos Condit look like they have no idea what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:39:20 He gets you on the ground, and he makes you look like a white belt. So there's that kind of guy that can do that. Or there's a guy like Mighty Mouse that, Mighty Mouse, although he's got really good submissions, you're not going to see that style. He's not going to be able to submit the best jiu-jitsu guys in the world at 125 pounds, most likely, in a jiu-jitsu match. Damian Maia probably could. Damian Maia has the potential to beat pretty much anybody he rolls with on the mat in an actual straight-up jiu-jitsu match.
Starting point is 00:39:47 So you have two different styles. You have, like, that style of winner, which he's never won the title. And there's only a few guys like Anderson that have. You know, and Anderson, in all due fairness, he won it, like, what, in 2005? Was that when Anderson became the champ? Somewhere around there in the UFC? That might as well be 30 years ago. It's a totally different class of fighter.
Starting point is 00:40:10 The evolution of the game is so fast. Four years ago, we were in leather helmets. I would love to watch Tyron Woodley versus Damian Maia. I would love it. I would love to watch it. That would be incredible. That, to me, is maybe one of the most interesting fights on the horizon for me. Because so far, Damien Maia's been able to take down wrestlers at 170.
Starting point is 00:40:30 He's been able to take them all down. Yeah. Like, easy and just with beautiful technique. But can he do that to Woodley? Shit. I don't know. You've got to go through the storm. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:41 The storm of fucking meteors coming your way that woodley drops on you yeah because he's the most dangerous in that first round and when you're you're trying to take him down you're closing the distance on him and you haven't like figured out how fast he is yet he's not he doesn't just hit hard he's fucking fast i saw some uh just rumor i'm sure but but Bisping was talking about it. Him and Woodley agreed to a super fight at 180. Really? Bisping and Woodley. Really? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:41:10 When did they agree to this? I was talking to my brother this morning. He was like, you see Woodley and Bisping? Want to do that catchweight at 180? I'm like, what? That's an interesting fight. First of all, can Bisping make that healthy? That's what I was thinking.
Starting point is 00:41:22 Because I feel like 85 is a tough cut for him. Remember when he used to fight 205? Oh, yeah. Won the Ultimate Fighter at 205. Yep. Wow. That's what I was thinking. Because I feel like 85 is a tough cut for him. Remember when he used to fight 205? Oh, yeah. Won the Ultimate Fighter in 205. Wow. That's an interesting fight. Well, I think what Woodley wants is that big payday. He's like, look.
Starting point is 00:41:32 How could you not? Yeah, I mean, he's campaigning for it. Look at this. Mike Bisbee and Tylan Woodley agree to catch Wade Bowden. This is legit? So this just happened today? That's on the internet. What is the name of the lowkickmma.com?
Starting point is 00:41:47 Interesting. That's Spizbing's Instagram? Very interesting. Very interesting. Gangsterweight, as Chael Sonnen calls it. Yeah, I like it. I like it. But to your point, Woodley just wants a big fight for a lucrative payday.
Starting point is 00:42:03 That's all. He wants the biggest name possible to get paid. Yeah, smart. That's the name of the game. Yeah, and Anderson back in that has still been calling for a rematch with Bisping too because his fight with Bisping was so fucking close in England. He feels like he beat him. That was one of the craziest situations ever.
Starting point is 00:42:18 That was so weird. He hits him with that flying knee, KOs him. I mean, Bisping was out. He went out. He dropped. And Anderson does a walk-off KO, and they go, eh, not so quick. It was so weird. It was so weird.
Starting point is 00:42:31 No, watch that. Get a video of that. Because remember, Bisping takes a break because his mouthpiece falls out, and he's like talking to the ref, and Anderson goes, yeah! Oh, that's right. That's right. He was trying to get the referee's attention, and Anderson flying knee to him in the face. And wasn't the ref coming in to stop it, and Anderson did that flying knee?
Starting point is 00:42:49 That's why the ref was like, hold up. No, that doesn't count. Yeah, let's look at that. It was a weird scenario. It was a very weird scenario. Bisping box his fucking face off, though. Yeah, like he's saying something. It's Herb Dean.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Look, he's like, right there, right there. Boom! Oh, Jesus. That was also the end of the round, too, right? Yeah. Oh, my God. Jesus. Look at this again. He's like, hey, let Boom. Oh, Jesus. That was also the end of the round, too, right? Yeah. Oh, my God. Jesus. Look at this again.
Starting point is 00:43:07 He's like, hey, let me get my mouthpiece. Yeah. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Damn. Look at this. Boom. That is such a crazy drop, too, the way he got hit.
Starting point is 00:43:18 You know what? I think he would have thrown the knee regardless, whether he looked to the side or not. I think he would have thrown it regardless. And it wasn't like Bisping put his hands down. He looked over, but he was still covered up. Here's the crazy thing. I don't know about that. I think he was a little distracted there for sure.
Starting point is 00:43:32 Here's the crazy thing. Bisping comes back and wins that fucking fight and boxes his face off. How does he win that next round? He comes out that, I think that was the third round, right? He comes out that fourth round and boxes his face off. Crazy. Like a fucking kangaroo. Crazy recovery.
Starting point is 00:43:47 That's unbelievable recovery. His cardio is insane. Yeah, because most people get hit like that. That's it, man. That's game over. It's game over. I mean, his body shut off and he dropped like gravity. Give us a second. And we're back. Is he partially blind in one eye or completely? Partially.
Starting point is 00:44:04 But he can still sort of see? He's crooked as fuck. He can see enough where they let him fight. Yeah, I mean, he does those eye tests. They have to do eye tests. Apparently what they did is they put some kind of oil in his eye, and that oil protects his retina somehow or another, and that's why it looks so crazy.
Starting point is 00:44:20 And once he's done fighting, then they'll fix it. But the problem is, if he gets it fixed now and then he goes and fights again and tears it even worse. And then the other thing is, the more time he waits, the more advanced all this stem cell shit is getting. Like, they brought someone's vision back with stem cells. A blind guy, right? Yeah, someone was blind and they injected stem cells
Starting point is 00:44:40 in this guy's eye and brought his vision back. And that's today, 2017. What's it going to be like five, six, seven years down the line? I mean, Bitsman would be retired by then. I would hope he'd be retired in three or four. I mean, I think he's 39 now, right? How old is Michael? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:57 He might not be that old. I might be upping him up a bit. Was he 36? He might be 36. He might be 36, 37. 37. I don't think he has three years left. Well, he might.
Starting point is 00:45:08 Look, the guy's so fucking game. You know, Michael Bisping does not have any extraordinary physical attributes. Not that he's not a great athlete. He certainly is. Not that he's not a very good fighter. He certainly is. Cardio. But if you look at a guy like Rumble, extraordinary physical attributes.
Starting point is 00:45:21 John Lineker, extraordinary physical attributes. What Michael Bisping has is just toughness. Just game as fuck, toughness. Knock him out, he comes back, and he just keeps coming back. He has no quit. He has no quit. And he has great cardio. He has no quit.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Amazing cardio. Ryan Parsons says in the gym, he said he's never seen a guy that hates getting tapped and hates losing, exchanges more. I've never seen anything like it. Even just, you know how you do your normal warm-up, like if you're doing underhooks. He's going 100% nonstop. Like, how the fuck? Slow down, son.
Starting point is 00:45:54 I want him in the title, man. I want him in the fucking title. And he gets better and better. You watch him improve fight to fight. Look at his boxing. His boxing's ridiculous, man. He outboxed Anderson Silva. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:08 Knocked out Luke Rockhold. Yeah. Luke Rockhold looked disdainful in that fight. Like, come on, man. What are you going to do to me? He was pissed. Yeah. He was pissed he had to show up for that fight.
Starting point is 00:46:16 Yeah. He was, like, disdainful that that was his challenge. And he got murked. And he got murked. Oh. And Bisbee was shooting triple X-19 in Toronto. I was like, huh? Yeah, I'll be down there in four days.
Starting point is 00:46:28 It do, Swirl Champ. What a great fucking story. It's the best story. And you've been fighting for 10 years. The best story. I fucking love Bisbee. And then beats Dan Henderson in a close decision for this fucking fight. That was a fucking fight.
Starting point is 00:46:40 You forget about that fight when we talk about fights of the year. Oh, yeah. That fight was so good. So good. And again, his cardio. Yeah. He of the year. That fight was so good. So good. Again, his cardio. He landed the H-bomb twice. Yeah, landed it. That English zombie popped back up and just starts fucking boxing.
Starting point is 00:46:55 It's fucking crazy. He's got nothing but heart, that dude. Listen, bro, I'm going to tell you something. I had a funny feeling about Luke Rockhold. How dare you? I didn't think Luke was taking it seriously. How could you? Bisping on four days? And I'm like, this guy has been
Starting point is 00:47:09 fighting for fucking years. All he needs is one shot. But Bisping's not even a knockout artist. The betting odds for him to knock Luke Rockhold out in the first round, I have no idea. Let me tell you something. If my daughter catches you with one of those swinging overhand punches and clips the tip of your chin, you got a problem.
Starting point is 00:47:27 Hey, Brian told me he went to this new boxing gym. And the guy was like, hey, mind if this girl, he's going to kill me for telling the story. You mind if this girl jumps in there and spars some rounds? And Brian's like, sure. He starts to move around. This bitch is dead serious. And he hits him with the right hand. Brian was like, oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:47:44 He said he's like a little wobbled. Brian was like, oh, shit. He said he was like a little wobbled. I'm like, bro, if anyone catches you flush, man, you're going to be in for a long night. Especially the point of the chin, the way Rockhold caught. And Bisping swung it over the shoulder. It was a beautiful left hook. He stepped in with it and just whipped it over the top. And it was something that him and Perillo had seen in Rockhold's game. Perillo's coach of the year.
Starting point is 00:48:05 Very good coach. Hands down coach of the year. Very good coach. Hands down coach of the year. He used to be Tito Tease's coach. He still is. He worked with BJ. He's worked with a lot of guys. BJ, Tito, Chris Cyborg, and Michael Bisbee. Yeah, he's a quiet guy in terms of, like, he's not out there trying to get a lot of publicity. He's not a tension
Starting point is 00:48:21 whore. He's just an excellent boxing coach. Really knows his shit. I'm impressed with that guy. As far as boxing, one of the best in the game. Yeah, one of the best in the game. And good at adapting it for MMA, too. You know, he understands MMA. And it's like, you know, it's like there's those camps that do it.
Starting point is 00:48:37 You know when I hear something fucking crazy that Woodley told me the other day? Would love to. I went to dinner with Woodley and Mighty Mouse and some dude and his wife who won the, they won some VIP thing, the UFC thing, and we met them and I had dinner with them. Woodley didn't have a fucking head coach. He coached himself. Up until
Starting point is 00:48:56 the Kelvin Gaslam fight. The Kelvin Gaslam fight was the first fight that he worked with Duke Rufus. And he was trying to figure out if he was going to go to ATT or if he was going to work with Duke Rufus. I thought he was at ATT before all that. His son. No, he never had a head coach who'd go down there and do a camp. What the fuck was he thinking? Just talented.
Starting point is 00:49:12 Talented and just figuring it out on his own. His son told him to go to Chicago. How old's his son? Milwaukee, rather. How old's his son? He's a little kid. This little kid told him he had the idea that his dad, he should go. He goes, and I got it. He goes, it was like 15 below zero.
Starting point is 00:49:26 Got in my fucking car and drove to Milwaukee. And then he won, he beat Calvin and then he's won every fight since then and won the title. This day and age, you have to have that head coach. You have to have all bases covered. There's another guy. You can't be distracted with this. You can't be doing this over here. You can't live here and then flying just for your camp.
Starting point is 00:49:44 You can't decide to get serious six weeks before. People are too good. But how crazy is that? Imagine the NFL did that. Imagine if Tom Brady was like, I'm going to do this even though I'm in season. Right before training camp starts, I'm going to get serious. They can't. You just can't, man. Yeah, and Duke's another guy
Starting point is 00:50:00 that doesn't get enough credit because he's another guy that's pretty quiet. Duke Rufus is not out there trying to make a lot of noise and get a lot of people to pay attention to him. He's just an awesome striking coach. Amazing striking coach. I think the reason why maybe he doesn't get enough credit with Woodley is because of what's going on with Pettis.
Starting point is 00:50:15 Yeah, yeah. That's the only reason. Pettis is in a weird state, huh, man? I mean, he can't fight at 145. He's just too weak. It's not for him. He just can't take it. You know, you watch that fight and it's like, God, Max Holloway
Starting point is 00:50:26 just beat the fuck out of him. But look, I don't get why he went to 45. Look at his losses at 55. It's like, it's not that bad. You're talking about split decisions, decisions. It's really not that bad. You obviously can compete in the top five there. He definitely competed and could actually go the full distance while
Starting point is 00:50:41 getting beat up. Whereas at 45, his body was breaking down. And he even said, he goes, I did everything in my power to make weight. I just, my body shut down. I don't know what to tell you guys. Maybe he should just go fucking heavy. Just start strength and conditioning work. Start fucking, you know, doing deadlifts and shit.
Starting point is 00:50:57 Beef his body up. Because if you look at Dos Anjos, there's Dos Anjos before, like, Habib Nurmagomedov, and then there's Dosanjos afterwards. You mean the USADA? I don't know what you're saying. You're talking about the USADA? You're trying to point to USADA. I don't know who you are. Johnny Hendricks.
Starting point is 00:51:11 I don't know who you are. I don't know who you are. No, he didn't. But there is absolutely a difference when a guy gets on a serious strength and conditioning routine, regardless of Mexican supplements. He went with Nick Curzon. And Nick Curzon, you ever see the videos of Rafael Dos Anjos and Curzon working out? Yeah, doing work.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Curzon is a beast. He has guys doing crazy shit. He's got you doing all that Marv Marinovich shit where you got all this footwork stuff, and he believes in, like, foot strength above all, all plyometrics, all these explosive box jumps and shit, all this crazy fucking burpees and all the nutty, explosive sprinting back and forth type stuff. That's the shit you need.
Starting point is 00:51:48 I love that meathead chick. For a while, remember Carlos Condor was climbing on trees and shit and fucking Conor was doing all this weird stuff and then all of a sudden just the meathead movement is back. The meathead movement? How so? Like in what way? That training. Kershaw's not a meathead.
Starting point is 00:52:04 I wouldn't say he's a meathead movement at all. I think that's the opposite. No, no, no. What I'm saying is that raw power, that strength condition, you can't make up for that by climbing on trees and doing this weird yoga movement and all that shit. There's room for that. That's all good, but you gotta be able to move. It can't be your focus.
Starting point is 00:52:19 It can't be your fucking focus. But Connor, what Connor's been able to do is develop, like, extremely agile back and forth movement. And I think a lot of that is that Ido Portal guy. I got to admit that as weird as his stuff looks when he's flipping around, doing all these jumps, if you can move your body like that, that's going to directly translate into your footwork and your movement. I give more credit to his head coach. 100%.
Starting point is 00:52:46 I mean, John Cavanaugh is a wizard. As far as his movement. Speaking of UFC 207, you know who the biggest winner is? Who? Conor McGregor. How so? He's the only star. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:55 He's the only mega star and goes, he gets all the stock. You fellas want to talk now or what do you want to do? Because I'm the only guy left. Well, how about this? It's that and then the next pay-per-view is Holly Holm versus Jermaine Durandame, which is a tough sell, right?
Starting point is 00:53:12 Tough sell? Fuck yeah, it's a tough sell. I would buy it as a hardcore fan. I'll buy it for sure. For sure. You and me and 100,000 people, Will. Yeah. It ain't going to be Conor McGgregor numbers right bottom line conor when she lost and i'm sure he likes ronda by a bit business-wise he's like excellent excellent
Starting point is 00:53:33 yeah that's well it's a tricky situation now with the marketing campaign the w wmme wme put together for this that was so ronda heavy and then Ronda gets smashed and now what are you going to do for it? Like the girl who smashed Ronda? Is that what Amanda gets for her next title fight? You do a press tour, world press tour with her like let's introduce you to the girl who beat the shit out of Ronda now. She's not fighting
Starting point is 00:53:58 let's do this press tour that she deserves. So they try to piggyback on Ronda again and show the beating. Well, you know, she sort of retired two legends in the sport. That's why she's my fighter of the year. She retired Misha, and then she retired Ronda, if Ronda retires. That's huge. She retired both of them.
Starting point is 00:54:16 All of a sudden, Amanda is Nate Diaz. Did you see Cat Zingano posted on Instagram that Amanda blocked her? Because Cat Zingano posted on Instagram that Amanda blocked her because Kat Zingano stopped Amanda. And Amanda was hurting Kat Zingano bad in the first round. Real bad. Kat was in big fucking trouble. But she survived and went on to stop Amanda. And I love Kat, but all fucking Amanda could do is be like, you lost to the chick I just beat in 17 seconds.
Starting point is 00:54:41 Yeah, but she got caught in an arm bar. How did Amanda lose that fight? I don't remember that one. She beat her down. She beat her down the third round. Kat got on top and started blasting her. Did she kind of gas? No.
Starting point is 00:54:51 Well, she kind of gassed, but Kat is ferocious. Kat beat Amanda. You know that fucking scream? There's a recording of Kat Zingano screaming after she won that fight. And it's so primal, dude. It's like an animal scream. I think you played it before on the podcast. Yeah, because when she did it, I was like,
Starting point is 00:55:11 whew, there's some shit you hear. That's it. That's her. God, Doug. Come on, man. That scares the shit out of me. You can't fake that. That's in your bones, man.
Starting point is 00:55:22 That's in your soul. Remember that's after all that darkness she dealt with her husband can be a suicide just all this dark Was that that was after that is that so that was the fight afterwards? That was the play that again Jamie play that again Listen to this shit Oh, yeah. That's like when I first had my big DMT. That shit makes me nervous. That shit makes me nervous. She's fucking ferocious. But, Brendan, to answer your question from before, not to interrupt you,
Starting point is 00:55:55 they're sitting on a fucking goldmine, William Morris, now, with this fucking Amanda Nunes. I told you last night, she's part of the LBGT community, Jack. Great story. Deep fucking pockets, okay? Excuse me. Deep's probably LBGT community Jack great story fucking pockets, okay It's LBGT QA now What is that gotta keep up lesbians They just hit the fucking lottery thing asexuals are in there to their Liz karmush before that but
Starting point is 00:56:21 They just hit the fucking lottery ticket. Asexuals are in there, too. Because they had Liz Karmouche before that. But Liz Karmouche didn't beat up fucking Ronda Rousey. She was still lesbian. It helps, but Liz Karmouche wasn't the champion. Once you're the champion, it's everything. And when Liz Karmouche fought Ronda, she fought her at the first fight when no one knew who Ronda was. So Ronda has all this hype behind her.
Starting point is 00:56:40 She wins that fight and then goes on. And Liz has done well in the UFC, but having that, it's not the same. I agree. Tanya Evanger is. She fights for Invicta. She's awesome. Have you ever seen her fight, Tanya Evanger? Very tough. She is badass. She's in Invicta. She's super tough.
Starting point is 00:56:57 She's really good and she's openly gay too. What weight is she? She's hilarious, man. I love that chick. She's like 135, 14 she? She's hilarious, man. I love that chick. She's like 135. 135, 145. She's good, man. There's going to be more. It's the same thing we were talking about when Anderson was in his prime,
Starting point is 00:57:13 when he was just lighting people on fire. The division was like, there wasn't, you know, you had like Patrick Cote. He had a couple of fights for the title. Talos Latis, where you're like, there's no one. Rich Franklin. Well, Rich Franklin was the champ. But there's no overwhelming need to see that fight. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:57:32 Like, you want to see the fight because I'm interested to see. Patrick's got a great chin. He's got power. Let's see what happens. But it's not like, oh, here's the next one. It's like Cody Garbrandt fighting Dominic Cruz. You were like, oh, let's see what happens here. There was no one like that for Anderson for a long-ass time.
Starting point is 00:57:51 And I think in the women's bandweight division, you've got a kind of similar situation now. It's like now you have Amanda Nunes who beats the shit out of Misha. Misha's going to step back. She's gone now. She beats the shit out of Ronda. Ronda steps back. Holly goes up to 145. Holly's going to fight Jermaine Durand to make.
Starting point is 00:58:05 They've got to change that shit. Why not have Amanda fight for both belts? How about Amanda Holly home to save that card? Fuck yeah. I mean, make some moves. Because have you seen the card? Well, no. Holly's already on that card.
Starting point is 00:58:17 Holly's the headliner. That's what I'm saying. Holly's fighting Jermaine Durand to me for the 145. I think they should give Jermaine Durand to me. Nunes already beat her. $500,000 to chill out. Nunes already beat her, by the way. You know, they need to... Nunes beat who?
Starting point is 00:58:30 I thought Nunes already beat Jermaine Duran. Yeah, she beat her. Yeah, she beat her in the UFC. Yeah, Jermaine is a wicked kickboxer. She's a world-class, multiple-time world champion kickboxer. I think she won the world Muay Thai title on several occasions. She's really elite as a Muay Thai fighter.
Starting point is 00:58:50 But big gloves, stand up. Always stand up. There's no ground. And as soon as she got in the UFC, you could see that transition between learning the striking with takedowns versus just fighting in a kickboxing bout, it's a big transition.
Starting point is 00:59:06 It takes time, too. But you're also going against people who aren't going to give you the time. Exactly. They're just fucking shooting it on her and beating her up and taking her down. It's just a different sport. Who's on that card? I thought the card was pretty good. It's in Brooklyn, yes?
Starting point is 00:59:17 Travis Brown is fighting Derek Lewis. That's an interesting fight. But where's Travis's head at right now? He's training in the same camp, isn't he? Yes. God damn it, Travis. Yeah. Holly Holm versus Amanda Nunes.
Starting point is 00:59:30 That's the fight right there. Yeah, I agree with you. I think a 135, that's a fucking wild fight. They should do that for this card. No, make Amanda the two-belt champion. But then you have to remember that Valentina Shevchenko just beat Holly and beat her up stand-up. Two losses.
Starting point is 00:59:44 Yeah, and Valentina beat her up stand-up with that check right hook. That's the fight we should see. Put those two together. They need help with this card. The problem is most people, even though Valentina won, they don't know who she is yet, even though she won. I mean, she needs a few more victories inside the UFC in order to get people excited. Is this pay-per-view? This is pay-per-view.
Starting point is 01:00:04 Brooklyn. The only reason people know Holly, too, is they don't know her past losses, really. Granted, her fight was on Fox, but all they know is she's the girl that knocked out Ronda. That's what's selling this. Eddie, bro, are you trying to say that this isn't going to get you the last 60 bucks? I'm just saying that- I will illegally stream it like I did the last one. Amanda Nunes just fought for 45 seconds.
Starting point is 01:00:22 She's fresh. Have her headline that card. Hey, man, let's build her up. Where's the fire? Where's the fire? Is that the Super Bowl card? Yeah. Damn.
Starting point is 01:00:32 I agree with that. I agree with that. I'm not saying nothing. That's February 5th. I'm not saying nothing. I'm just saying. No, no, Super Bowl weekend is in Houston. It's a different card.
Starting point is 01:00:41 Oh, it is? Yeah. Oh, they changed it. I don't think they have that card locked up either, by the way. I think they're still moving fights around for that Brooklyn card because I think they recognize that they need a little bit more juice on that card. So no Super Bowl card in Vegas this year? No, it's not in Vegas.
Starting point is 01:00:56 It's in Houston this year. And the Super Bowl's in Houston. Yeah. Is Super Bowl in Houston or Dallas? I thought it was Dallas. Is it Houston? I know it's Texas. Texas.
Starting point is 01:01:05 So they'll have a big card for the UFC there. Hey, man. That's a great fight. All they have right now is Bermudez and Chan Sung Jung. That's a good fight. But what day is that? That would sell seven pay-per-views right now. February 5th?
Starting point is 01:01:19 4th? Super Bowl's on the 5th. The 4th. Yeah, so. They need to throw Amanda on one of those cards. I'm not there for that. You need to slow down, sir. Jesus Christ. What are we doing over here? The fight? That's a Super Bowl's on the 5th. The 4th. Yeah, so. They need to throw Amanda on one of those cards. I'm not there for that. You need to slow down, sir. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 01:01:27 What are we doing over here? So the fight, that's a Super Bowl card, and it's a fight night? No, no. You're like, what's a Super Bowl weekend? Super Bowl weekend. That's it. That's it. Super Bowl weekend.
Starting point is 01:01:35 The 29th? The game is on the 5th. Yeah, that's the night before. It's a free fight night. It's a free fight night because Super Bowl weekend, it's always been a pay-per-view UFC. It's usually been in Vegas. It's been in Vegas. Yeah, I wonder where they're doing, man.
Starting point is 01:01:49 Well, you know what, man? Who's going to headline cards right now? Who would sell a pay-per-view? It's a good fucking question. There's a lot of stars out there. No heavyweights other than Stipe Miocic that can sell a big card right now. And he has to sell it in Cleveland, too. There's a lot of stars out there.
Starting point is 01:02:03 There's a lot of stars out there. That would sell a pay-per-view, Eddie. Well, name one. Which ones? Serious. And just, like, give me three and go. Well, Amanda Nunes really didn't, I mean, she put in 45 seconds. They should take advantage.
Starting point is 01:02:20 I mean, you want... I'm talking about legit pay-per-view sellers. Honestly, there's Conor McGregor and then there's everybody else, right? Correct. There was a thing that they showed the other day that Conor, in three fights, drew more pay-per-view than the entire UFC roster in 2014. His three worst gates in pay-per-views of all time beat Ronda's best and Brock Lesnar's best. Yeah, he's the best. He's the biggest for sure.
Starting point is 01:02:42 Are you guys arguing? No, no, you're not. But some people are. No, I'm just looking at you like this. He's the biggest for sure and anybody But some people are looking at you Dana's are he did right? Yeah, he's a star. Connor's like no what Ron is is is like Here's what's different when Rhonda's face came on the screen the first time in Vegas this weekend I heard young girls scream. That's all I heard. I heard young girls. It was like Justin Bieber pulled his dick out. It was like... How about that motherfucker's talking shit?
Starting point is 01:03:09 How about Bieber's talking shit? I know. He made a tweet that said, you just got knocked the fuck out. Hey, Bieber, sing your fucking songs and beat it, nerd. What? That dude's so silly. You don't even write your own music. What the fuck are you talking about? That dude's so silly. That's what I can't stand. When people aren't involved in the game, they say stuff like that. It's like, what have you ever done to risk your... fuck are you talking about that dude's so silly that's what i can't stand when people aren't involved in the game they say stuff like that it's like what have you ever done to
Starting point is 01:03:28 risk your what are you talking about yeah damn it got 239 000 likes and it's it's because ronda her she was at some concert or something and her little sister wanted to meet bieber and he didn't have time so then she got mad remember that she was was like, fuck Bieber. So that's where it stems from. Oh, wow. Oh, okay. So he's like waiting. Well, you remember when fucking Ronda got KO'd by Holly, Trump said, I'm glad she got knocked out.
Starting point is 01:03:53 Not a good person. Trump talked shit again, didn't he? Trump did another tweet about Ronda. About Ronda? And he's the president of the United States. No. I'm pretty sure. Really?
Starting point is 01:04:01 He is so crazy. Check out his tweet. He is so crazy. Why was he mad at Ron, though? I don't fucking know. She might have talked shit about him. Because she said, she goes, I would never vote for Trump. Yeah, she said she was going to vote for Bernie Sanders.
Starting point is 01:04:12 You're the president of the United States, motherfucker. What do you care? I know, right? Hey, man. Don't you have bigger fires to put out instead of tweeting bullshit? Well, not only that, man. He's not a politician, man. I don't see it.
Starting point is 01:04:23 That's not what he is. I know, right? He's not. He's not. He's not trying to. He don't even want to stay at the White House. That's not what he is. I know right he's not he's not that trying to be Don't even want to stay at the White House Playboy Mansion. Yes. You're like, what? It's nasty. Mildew on the windows and shit.
Starting point is 01:04:52 You've been in the mansion, right? Didn't you come with me to that marijuana policy project thing? At first, when I first got invited to the mansion, I thought, oh my God,
Starting point is 01:05:01 it's going to be just like those videos you see. They used to be like commercials. Girls Gone Wild. Playboy Mansion. And you'd see on E the Playboy Mansion. You're like, oh shit. You get invited to
Starting point is 01:05:14 an event there. And then you figure it out really quick that, okay, not every night goes off because there's no girls there. They had giant screens everywhere in the backyard playing loops of people partying on the good nights. So you're at the Playboy Mansion seeing people party at the Playboy Mansion. And then I looked into it and it turns out they rent out the place like all the goddamn time.
Starting point is 01:05:43 They rent it out all the time. It's not like what you see on TV There's only two times per year words that what you imagine where they're just 80% girls and they're on their own That does happen, but it's only the Halloween party and their fourth of July or a midnight summer's Eve Remember we would see fights there yeah we saw we saw Strikeforce yes that's right Brandon Thatcher
Starting point is 01:06:08 no girls yeah dude Thatcher man that was a tough loss yeah it's probably over isn't it yeah he just did not he looked terrible
Starting point is 01:06:15 on the ground man he was making big rookie mistakes super amateur yeah he was like he was like leaving himself open he wasn't patient
Starting point is 01:06:23 he wasn't doing it the right way I'm telling you if you saw him in the gym you like, I've seen him against the best in the world. You're like, this motherfucker's going to do it, man. So what is it? Commitment to the grappling. Commitment to grappling. Commitment to jiu-jitsu.
Starting point is 01:06:36 He's just so good at stand-up. His dad's this legend in Denver as far as striking. And he was a taekwondo guy. And he trained him since he was little. And that was always the it factor in the gym where you're like, dude, if you're standing with him, good luck. He could do it all. Both ways, whatever you wanted.
Starting point is 01:06:51 He could mimic anything. He looked good standing up too, man. He's a real good. And he made the mistake of initiating the grappling. I was like, Jesus Christ. And what hurts him even more, I don't know if you guys saw this with all the chaos going on with UFC 207, their head coach, Lester Bolin, who was my head coach, and I think one of the best in the game, is retiring.
Starting point is 01:07:11 He's leaving Muscle Farm. Why is he doing that? Because his kids, his kids are in wrestling and he lives far away. He's like, dude, I'm spending too much time with the guys traveling and stuff. He was in the summer. I had three weekends with my kids. He's like, I just can't do it. And his son, Little Lester, is really getting competitive in wrestling,
Starting point is 01:07:27 and Leaster's his wrestling coach. How far away does he live from the gym? Wow. Like an hour. That sucks. He should move closer. What the fuck? But again, because he owns his own business, he makes crazy money.
Starting point is 01:07:38 So he's just doing it, and it kind of got out of hand. He's like, dude, I'm spending too much time with the team and not enough time with my family. He's a good dude, too. One of the best. Really good guy. One of the best. Very smart, too. I'll tell you what I'd like to see. I have no idea. I don't know if they've talked about this. I have no idea. But I'd
Starting point is 01:07:52 like to see Matt Brown take kind of a leadership role with that team. Really? And move that into the next phase of his career? I don't even know if he's into it, but I've seen him with the guys and with his mentality and experience. You're talking about a coach who kind of knows it all, like we were talking about with Matt hume who's been there be a good idea i have no idea if he's even into it yeah it was interesting because duane was working with matt brown for this
Starting point is 01:08:12 fight he worked with him for a few weeks but i thought maybe we'd see more like footwork and movement from matt that's like similar to duane style but duane style doesn't work that way duane you have to be in and you have to spend a ton of time with him. And I really think he's the perfect coach for TJ. But unless you're one of those small guys with that crazy footwork, he's not a guy you can go to for six weeks and pick shit up. But you know what, man? I agree with you.
Starting point is 01:08:36 But do you remember when Travis Brown was first on the scene? Like when he fought Skyscraper? And he moved like Dominic Cruz? Yes, that's what I'm saying. Because he's training at Alliance. That's what I'm saying. The entire division was like, what the fuck are we going to do? Yeah, well, what happened to him?
Starting point is 01:08:52 Edmund. 100%. Is that what it is? 100%. Think about all his fights since he left there. He was a barbarian, man. I always said that he was the dark horse in the division. I was like, let me tell you something.
Starting point is 01:09:03 If this guy puts it all together, he can do some shit that you rarely see from a heavyweight. He went from Alliance to Winklejohn for a while? Yes. He was always at Alliance. He went to Alliance, then he went to Jackson's and was good there. Yeah, Jackson Winklejohn. He fought Overeem and those guys. Then Overeem stayed there, then he left.
Starting point is 01:09:20 And then he ended up going to Edmond with Ronda. Damn. But same thing. I remember, I forget what UFC it was. UFC one, I forget. Anyways, I fought Ben Rothwell. He was on the card fighting some scrub. And I looked at my coach and I was like, do you know about that guy?
Starting point is 01:09:38 And he was leasing me. He goes, a little bit. And I went, he's probably your next heavyweight champ. Have you seen the way he moves? I went, we don't want to fight him down the road. We want to fight him soon. Because that guy has so much talent. He's probably the next champweight champ. Have you seen the way he moves? I went, we don't want to fight him, like, down the road. We want to fight him soon because that guy has so much talent. He's probably the next champ. They're like, really?
Starting point is 01:09:49 Then we saw his fight, and everyone was like, Jesus Christ. I'm like, he has footwork like Don McCruise, and he's a C6-7. Yeah, you know, I talked to Brian Stand about him, and Brian was pretty adamant about it, like, after the last fight. He's like, where's all his footwork? He's like, I remember this guy having incredible footwork and movement when he's at Jackson's camp and now he's just kind of lost all of it he's become this stagnant like he has the same desire anymore like when he knocked out Gonzaga or Josh Brown bingo yeah Josh
Starting point is 01:10:21 Barnett brother who just got flagged yeah Yeah, he got flagged, huh? What do you know it for? Steroids. Really? Hey, man, that guy, he's been flagged before, for God's sakes. And I love Josh. Shit happens. He's got caught a few times. You know, the whole Edmund, somebody put a video out, pretty funny, about everybody getting
Starting point is 01:10:40 knocked out at Edmund camp with a little flute, like from fucking and shit you know and it's it's it's fucking sad you know right before the round the fight I had a pee and I was paying I said to myself you know what I can't call this fight but what do I want to happen let this poor girl fucking win let him let her retire let Amanda Nunez she would never retire if she won you You know, whatever. I was hoping. I didn't want to see what I just saw again. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:10 But why do we feel that way? See, but you didn't see what you just saw again. What you saw was way worse. The Holly fight, it was her trying to get Holly, but Holly was fighting wisely. She was sliding away, cracking her with shots. It was Ronda being Ronda. She got hunted. Yes.
Starting point is 01:11:30 Ronda got hunted down and destroyed by an assassin. If I hunt him down right now, if I get up and go and say, I have two seconds before his head adjusts and he realizes where he is, even Eddie, if I get on top of him in side control as big and fat as I am, Eddie would go, fuck, I can't breathe. But after a while, you get it together. She didn't even get it together. Yeah, but the big difference is getting hit in the head. Oh, I understand.
Starting point is 01:11:55 She probably had no idea what the fuck was going on. But it was like, but Joe, she just came from a training camp. Was her media scrum stuff like her training camp usually she's got little guys she's throwing around in training camp this time I didn't see her throwing
Starting point is 01:12:12 nobody around in training camp she definitely had judo work there was some footage that was up of her hitting takedowns did she tell Edmund I don't want to see nobody I don't want to talk to nobody was her training reflective of her attitude
Starting point is 01:12:26 Towards the media and everything like this Something is not fucking right here That's what I'm saying, Joey Joe, I love you and I appreciate the headshot But something wasn't there I get shot in the head, I put my hands up I think that's fair to say, Joe Something was not there
Starting point is 01:12:41 That's why I feel And the public, I mean, guys are really, you feel broken hearted in a way. Isn't that weird? Why do we feel broken? I feel broken hearted. I do too. I called you up the next morning and told you, you are driving back from the airport, and
Starting point is 01:12:54 I'm broken hearted. Yeah, you were devastated. Because me, me, everybody gets fired after Holly Holm. Everybody. I go back to the Japanese cultural center with Masaki down there for $7 every time. That's not what made Ronda Ronda, though. She's so loyal. But something, but if she was so loyal, she wouldn't have left the guy that got her into the UFC, though.
Starting point is 01:13:13 What guy? Who? You're talking about the manager? Yeah. Our manager's different. Manager's a scumbag. But if she was so loyal, she wouldn't have left him. Yeah, but who knows what that deal is?
Starting point is 01:13:22 Yeah, you're talking about money. That's different. Money's different, though, right? But there's two different versions of that story. I don't know who's right. And I feel the same way, and for whatever reason. Something was not right there. I agree 100%.
Starting point is 01:13:34 The head punch is great, but something wasn't there, Joe. Something wasn't there when she went to grab her. Nunes went like this. It wasn't the same Ronda that... Like this, Joe. Like this. It wasn't the same Ronda that came out for Holly and that tenacity.
Starting point is 01:13:51 Joey, remember that time you told me you mugged that gay guy and he beat the shit out of you? Yeah. Yeah. You know? Yeah. And he wasn't a gay guy. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:00 Because I'll get in trouble now. What happened was guys that were thinking they wanted to be gay, like guys that had families and shit, that wanted to get their dick sucked would have a few drinks in them, and they'd go to Hudson County Park to see if there was somebody there to get their dick sucked. Like before I went into your show last night, I parked. Sean just said park in this lot.
Starting point is 01:14:20 I didn't park in that lot. I parked in a lot that was empty, and when I was walking over there, some dude kept making weird eye contact with me. He wanted to suck dick. I don't take it. He looked at you. He could have thought you were big pussy. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:14:35 You want to suck my dick? No, no, no, no, no, no. I know that look. I know when somebody looks at me. Maybe it's a fan of his comedy. I know when somebody looks at me because they see me from the podcast. Joey's got like a guide in his head.
Starting point is 01:14:46 What does that look mean? No, no, no, no, no. I know exactly. I know it's either he had two looks to him. Either he wanted to sell me drugs or he wanted to suck my dick. Okay. How'd you decide that it was dick? How creepy it was.
Starting point is 01:14:59 Oh, okay. Just his appearance. I don't want to say he looked gay. Right. But just his appearance. But he looked gay. He was a male prostitute. Let's pretend he was a male prostitute.
Starting point is 01:15:06 His mouth was watering. Okay. Okay, so. Anyway. So these guys. These guys would come down and they'd be half drunk. Like in hindsight, I think about it, and there are all these type of dudes that may not just be gay. They just have a family.
Starting point is 01:15:19 Right. They like the gay. It was 1980. That'd be gay though, wouldn't it? In 1980. It wasn't easy to go, I'm coming out of the closet. There was a lot of guys in the... Let me talk to you about something.
Starting point is 01:15:29 You ever been around a guy? Tell me the truth as a man. You ever been around a guy that when you get in your car and go home, you're like, you know what? For sure. I could definitely talk that dude into sucking my dick. He's dying to suck a dick. Even though he's got a hot girlfriend and a kid and they got a dog and he goes to fucking CrossFit.
Starting point is 01:15:48 You could tell maybe he could mingle on the other side. You could talk him into switching governments if you had to. He's got a kid and a dog. And a dog. There's a lot of dudes like that that you look at and you go, this guy could suck a dick. With a kid who's walking his dog.
Starting point is 01:16:03 He's like, fuck, am I gay? No, no, no. Dude, I'm a fuck dick. Maybe you have evil fantasies like Rob Halford in Hell Bent for Leather. You know what I'm talking about? Rob Halford's evil fantasies. But he was gay as fuck. No, I'm not saying that.
Starting point is 01:16:18 I love Rob Halford. I love Rob Halford. I do, too. But I'm just saying that. You got another thing coming. There's a lot of fucking guys dog that you see that you know Maybe their dad's still alive and he was a marine Blow guys Rogan you were in and tell how many guys you think are out there right now
Starting point is 01:16:43 We've had this discussion that are married, whatever, but every once in a while they put a feather suit on and they go dance like anything. It's probably more than ten. And that's what we used to, you know, we used to go down there. We were dumb kids. We figured out we could rob these dudes that were
Starting point is 01:16:59 drunk. They come down and get their dick sucked. So we beat them. We got the cap in the police's son. So we weren't going to go to jail. He was better looking beat them. We got the captain of police's son. So we weren't going to go to jail. He was better looking than you. We weren't going to go to jail. We put him out there. We put like a guinea t-shirt, you know, those white beaters with a little gold chain with a cross on it and shit.
Starting point is 01:17:17 The all-threat card thing. And we put him out there on Boulevard East. And then we'd hide in the trees. And then he'd go out and suck your dick and the guy would park. And then we'd hide in the trees. And then he'd go, suck your dick, and the guy would park. And then he'd walk him back. And right before I went to get that one knee, I come up with that straight right kick, John Jones to the fucking nutsack.
Starting point is 01:17:34 God damn, Joey. You go down. We're in the trees. We're hiding in the trees. We fucking fly down from the trees. And we just bam, bam, bam. We take your money. We were 16 guys.
Starting point is 01:17:46 You know nobody fucking knows what you're writing. Not that. My mother. No. Perfect guy to rob. The guy's not going to the cops. He's not going to the cops. And you gotta remember, my crew was the third crew on. There was a crew from 64th Street. They were not only robbing you. They were taking you to your house.
Starting point is 01:18:02 I had friends that were in high school that actually were getting, were setting you up. Yeah, taking you to your house. I had friends that were in high school that actually were getting, were setting you up. Yeah, let's suck your dick. And then they put you back in your car and go to your house and rob you. We were the light crew. We were just going down there peppering you with a few shots and running away with you. My point about the story was, there was
Starting point is 01:18:17 one time where you... Well, I got beat up. I went down there by myself. Yeah, you went down there. I went down there by myself. I had the Knicks minus the 8.5 and I only won by 8. So I got caught by the hook. You went down there. Yeah, you went down there. I went down there by myself. I had the Knicks minus the eight and a half, and I only won by eight. So I got caught by the hook. And I called my buddy, and I go, dog, we lost. And he goes, I'm with my girlfriend. But at the time, I'm with, yeah, you want it up.
Starting point is 01:18:35 I'm hanging out with my buddies. We're hitting the bag. I'll go down there. I'll go down there, dog. I'm from Jersey. They ain't got to do nothing to me. This dude lit me up. It could have been Nunes' uncle.
Starting point is 01:18:52 It could have been a man named Nunes' uncle. He punched me with so many shots. But again. He lit your ass up? Lit me up. And had a Bronco. But here's the funny thing. In hindsight now, I know what Joe is saying.
Starting point is 01:19:05 Levels are striking. I never saw striking. It was nighttime, so I didn't even see his hands. I just kept seeing lights. You ever see lights? I just kept seeing lights. When you see lights at night, that's fucked up. The motherfucker had some training.
Starting point is 01:19:22 There's a funny thing about striking, too, and this relates to what Amanda can do. There's power, and then there's, like, whoa power. There's, like, crazy power. God-gifted power, yeah. Some people just have it, and you see it with Lineker. Lineker for sure has it. Rumble for sure has it.
Starting point is 01:19:36 There's people that have this weird power. They have an ability to hit people, and you see people that normally can take a shot, and you see the look in their eye where they're in big trouble, like right away. And when you get hit like that, man, you don't know where the fuck you are. Let me ask you this. In jiu-jitsu, every black belt knows how to do a rear naked choke, but very few people can do a rear naked choke like Marcelo Garcia. Right. Very few people.
Starting point is 01:20:01 Why? I mean, very few people. Why? It's because, would you say it was natural, like Lineker? Or was it because he spent a lot of time perfecting the back? And I know for a fact that he did. He used to ride on people's backs with the over-under and not even try to tap them. He would just spend a lot of time just riding and perfecting the control.
Starting point is 01:20:21 Then he just mastered the fight. Then he realized how important that squeeze was so that he would ride and squeeze and he knew that it was all about the power of the squeeze so he spent a lot of time with the rear naked choke and you know there's a lot there's there's quite a few guys out there now that that are uh of uh fall you know his students and other guys that have developed back attacks is is is almost as good as Marcelo, but probably not as good. Now, when you're talking about power, you know, certain guys have the power, whether they're born with it or not.
Starting point is 01:20:53 What if the guys with the power are actually in their training, working harder and more consistently at developing power? Like, what would you need? Like, you got to... It's that. There is a possibility, but it's also a physics issue. It's also an anatomy issue. What if it's both, though?
Starting point is 01:21:12 It might be both, but there's... It has to be, right? It is. Like, okay, here's a... Like, Cody Garbrandt is not a big hands. He's not built like a George Foreman-type character. Like, George Foreman has freakish physical attributes. He's got hands that are, like, the size of, like, canned hams. They're fucking gigantic. George Foreman type character. George Foreman has freakish physical attributes.
Starting point is 01:21:27 He's got hands that are the size of canned hams. They're fucking gigantic. And he would just thump, just thump guys with a jab. And you would see them get stunned and hurt. Obviously, trained like a motherfucker. Obviously, had very good technique too. Obviously, worked on all those things too. But you can't overcome the physical attributes if a guy does all those other
Starting point is 01:21:46 things as well. That's where the freaks come in. That's where the people that just have this ridiculous one-shot power. But there's technique. Look at Conor. Conor's not a big guy. He's a wide-shouldered guy, but he has that one-hit quitter.
Starting point is 01:22:01 Yeah, no question. When you think about your turning sidekick, your personal turning sidekick, everybody knows now that it's extremely powerful. Scary powerful. Very few people. I've never seen anybody throw a turning sidekick as hard as
Starting point is 01:22:18 you. I've worked with a lot of martial artists in my time. Still to this day, holy shit. Michael Jai White, excuse excuse me he's right up there too but he's like 6'4 240 anyways uh but you have said many times that the the the secret behind your power was the reps you knew that it was all about just hitting that heavy bag as many goddamn times as possible every day just standing in front and you said that most people don't develop that power because most people just don't spend the time standing in
Starting point is 01:22:51 front of a bag and just working so that's also the way it's built though well that too listen man there was a lot of guys that i trained with that had good turning sidekicks i always knew that i had a cheat i had had a physical advantage. Like, the size of my hands, for someone my size, I mean, you have to realize I had hands as big when I was fighting at 154. It was ridiculous. They were just certain physical attributes you have.
Starting point is 01:23:16 The width of the shoulders is big. But that has nothing to do with your turning sidekick. It does. It does. It's in the hips, too. It's the same thing with my hips, my knees, my ass, all the... Explosive. It's in the hips, too. It's the same thing as my hips, my knees, my ass. Explosive. It's also the fast twitch fiber. Well, that's when you get coincidence.
Starting point is 01:23:31 Is it a coincidence? No, that's when you get greatness. The power of a lot of it is fast twitch. And you either have fast twitch or you don't. I mean, like, Nick Diaz is a hard puncher, but he's never going to be a puncher like Woodley. No matter what he does, who he trains with, it will never be that. They'll never be able to punch like Woodley. No matter what he does, who he trains with, it will never be Woodley. Your average MMA fighter, how much time do you think they spend working on the
Starting point is 01:23:51 power of their turning sidekick? Very little. Well, no one really throws a spinning sidekick in the UFC. Very few then, right? Well, there's a few guys. They have allotted a certain amount of time a week. Like, for 20 minutes on Mondays, I'm going to do it. Yeah, but to your point, power. How many guys focus on throwing a right hand or left hand if they're dominant left hand?
Starting point is 01:24:09 There's Southpaws. Everyone does. There's very few who can do it in one punch and knock guys out. You know fighters that specifically train every day just to develop specific punching. Like today, I'm going to spend power punches. In between camps. In between camps, guys do that for sure. Guys will just go.
Starting point is 01:24:27 George was famous for doing that. He would go down to Henzo's and just only train jiu-jitsu for months on end, just to really tighten everything up. He went to Brazil a couple times just to train jiu-jitsu. Or Losky would do it in boxing. I would do it in boxing. What's the best thing you can do? You're a professional fighter.
Starting point is 01:24:44 You're fighting in the UFC. You're ranked 13th. And you want to take your power, your hand. You want to be able to knock someone. You want to have that Conor McGregor strength. What do I got to do to get it? Lift weights? Yeah, I don't think so.
Starting point is 01:24:56 What would you do to develop punching power? I don't think so. I think it's genetics. Yeah, it's genetics. I think genetics has a lot to do with it. Giant amounts. 90% of it. If you go see somebody, they could clean up the efficiency.
Starting point is 01:25:06 Yes. For sure. It's your shoulders. Yes. Your shoulders. Yes. There's a lot of technique in it. There's a lot of stuff that goes into that punch.
Starting point is 01:25:14 You know, if a wrestler, a world champion wrestler came in, and I came in, and I was a world champion wrestler, but my punches weren't that hard. I think in time. Look at Woodley. Woodley was specifically. All these are true, but let me tell you something. You talk to someone who's a real boxing trainer Okay, and they will tell you that there are guys that just come in and for whatever reason They might not have ever boxed before but you haven't throw a jab and they're like
Starting point is 01:25:34 And you're like, oh Jesus can't teach this whatever sure there's those people and then Makes it better. Yeah the technique like if you look at a guy like Sergey Kovalev, who's a vicious knockout artist, vicious puncher, he's got both. He's got the beautiful technique, but he also has that freakish God-given strength. Those are the guys that oftentimes wind up being champions. Now, to that point, look at Andre Ward, who just fought, who probably trains more than Sergey. He was an Olympic medalist, gold
Starting point is 01:26:06 medalist, has been training, fighting since he was 10, I think. And he works on power punches, but he's not a knockout artist. So you're saying you're a head coach of a team, you would tell all your fighters to, you're either born with power or you're not, don't worry about working on your power, just work on your
Starting point is 01:26:21 talent. You can always work on your power, you can always improve everything, but you're never gonna get it to that rumble level. I'm not saying that. I'm never gonna tell rumble. Hey, let's pick our shots here. Let's, more volume. No, I don't think we're even arguing.
Starting point is 01:26:33 No, we're not arguing. What can you do specifically? 15 minutes a week, 30 minutes a week, we're focusing on developing power. You're not known for a right hand. Every coach does it already. You know, after two years, we're going to do, what is it though specifically?
Starting point is 01:26:46 Go in the pool with dumbbells like Muhammad and just throw punches. Is that the best way? You could most certainly do some strength and conditioning work that would help. Just hitting a bag. Hitting a bag would help a lot. Hitting a bag, maybe, it's, all the above will help.
Starting point is 01:27:02 Like, Evander Holyfield started working out with Mackie Shillstone when he went up from cruiserweight to heavyweight. So he did a lot of weightlifting. And his power came up with him. Put a lot of weight on, though. Put a lot of weight on. And maybe Mexican supplements. Yes.
Starting point is 01:27:12 And he's also explosive. And maybe definitely Mexican supplements. And maybe 100%. 100% anyways. And he could win the Olympia at the same time. But the guys who are like, there's a good video of Joseph Valtellini. Go to Bazooka Joe Valtellini on his Instagram page. Valtellini, who was glory champion, had to step back because of concussions.
Starting point is 01:27:32 And I think he's going to stay retired. He hasn't decided yet. But he went down on top. I mean, he's one of the best kickboxers in the world. But there's a video of him hitting the pads and just digging, just digging into pads and talking about like the importance of sometimes just going all out with power just all out power shots on the pads like watch you can see this guy he's uh but and when he's doing it when he's when he's hitting these pads the good thing about it is hands never drop from his chin always good position but to really dig in and work
Starting point is 01:28:07 only solely on your power you don't want to do that all the time like this is just something that you're going to do occasionally and only you know every athlete has to decide it really depends on the person depends on what else you're working on five minutes a day see but like this combination these are so simple combinations like Like right hand, left hook, right kick. To develop power, isn't it better on a heavy bag than as opposed to these? Not necessarily. That's just as good. That's just as good that style, but that's not as good for straight kicks.
Starting point is 01:28:36 Because you can't kick a person to the body that way. Like if I put a body pad on a dude and I spinning back kick him, he's going to get really hurt. Like I'll break your ribs. Even with one of those big body shields on it, if you let someone spinning back kick you in the body, he's going to get really hurt. Yeah, that's not good. Like, I'll break your ribs. Even with one of those big body shields on it, if you let someone spinning back kick you in the body, it's going to break your ribs. There's some punchers, too. If they do a liver shot on a coach with a body pad,
Starting point is 01:28:52 they'll drop him. Yeah, they'll drop him. Internal bleeding. I hit so fucking hard. That fuck-up mitts, dog. Yeah. The dude who lost. Who was the first boxer that got choked out in the UFC?
Starting point is 01:29:02 James Toney? I heard that dude. Oh, he can fuck some mitts up. Oh, people should know. James Toney. Most talented in the UFC. James Toney? I heard that dude. Oh, he could fuck some mitts up. Oh, people heard. James Toney. Most talented of all time. James Toney is a fucking artist. Rest in peace.
Starting point is 01:29:12 He said, dog, you got to put extra. He will fuck your shit up. He was an artist when he was at his best. He was an artist, James Toney. If you talk to anyone from that national team, they'll say, who's the best boxer, most talented of all time? Every single person unanimously says James Toney. Even Floyd Mayweather is like best we've ever seen.
Starting point is 01:29:27 Talent-wise, James Toney. He was a bad motherfucker, but he liked to eat. He loved him some fucking Big Macs. That's a problem. He got thick. He went all the way up to heavyweight. Remember that? James Toney started out his career at 160, 168.
Starting point is 01:29:40 Freak. Super freak. To that point, though, Eddie, and we can end on that. I'll get rid of it but look at baseball like mark mcguire he's never gonna be a single base guy he's a fucking guy but here's a good example full of mexican supplements when he's at his best true if you get that guy on the natch and had him hit a baseball i mean how how much how much distance is the difference so he might hit 30 home runs instead of 70, but still, it was in his genetics.
Starting point is 01:30:06 Big forearms, powerful hips, follow through. He was never going to be the guy who would bunt the ball and lead off. Sosa, same thing. Same thing. Barry Bonds, jacked to the gills. But that might not necessarily translate into punching power, which is really interesting. It's like they might just be really good at that. Punching power is a weird one, man. It's a real weird one. Kicking power is just as that. You know, I mean it's like punching powers a weird one man
Starting point is 01:30:25 It's a real weird kicking powers just as we're awake. I hit hard cuz that motherfucker throw hard Again that movement from the hips all that same movement. Oh They said that when you they had a documentary on on the 83 draft 30 for 30 hells yeah, and how they fucking slammed him, how they had to scam him up. Like they had to pull, Steinbrenner had to draft him because he didn't want to go to Baltimore. Yeah, he didn't want to go to the Colts. And that's fucking tremendous shit, kinky shit. But, bro, this dude could stand on the warning sign.
Starting point is 01:30:57 That's a true story. He could stand on the warning track, John Elway, take one step and put the ball right there in your glove at home plate. Really? That's deadly shit. There's a receiver. Oh, you have no idea. There's a receiver. How far is that?
Starting point is 01:31:13 Let's say 305, 305 feet. 305 feet, and is he going up in the air, or is it a straight line? Just a bullet. You have to throw so fast for that ball not to drive. You have to watch some of the 30s. He's a freak. It's very interesting how he didn't want to play for Baltimore. So somebody went to Steinbrenner's office and they said,
Starting point is 01:31:36 we'd like for you to draft John Edwin. Steinbrenner goes, and he opened up the schedule for the lineup like three years later. He had Elway starting in the right field already. Here's why that's crazy. Here's why being able to throw from the morning track into home plate is crazy. If you took a baseball and you threw it and you shot a bullet, they would both drop at the same rate.
Starting point is 01:31:58 So the bullet's only going to be in the air for a few seconds. That's why you could be 200 yards away, put your crosshairs on someone, pull the trigger, and then then boom they die immediately it's because the bullet's traveling so fast but the drop is the same amount of time so it depends on how long it takes to get there it's how far it's going to drop so like if you're shooting someone something from really far away like there's a lot of people that get into long range shooting like they're going those ranges they'll hit these plates these steel plates that are like five, 800, 1,000 yards away, and you hear bang, clink.
Starting point is 01:32:31 There's a delay, a noticeable delay. And in that delay, they have to calculate the drop. So if they're shooting at that plate, their reticle, where they aim, it has to adjust for the fact that this bullet is going to drop in the amount of time that it takes to get 800 yards. So they aim higher. Yeah. So it's going to take a second or so or half a second, whatever it is. So they have to aim higher so that its scope adjusts for that.
Starting point is 01:32:55 If you're throwing a baseball, imagine how much slower that is than a bullet. So you have to throw so fucking fast. If you're throwing straight, if you're just going to throw straight and get into home plate, that motherfucker must be throwing a bullet. I mean, it must be crazy. You know his receivers in Denver. Yeah, the first three years, couldn't catch the ball. They couldn't catch the ball.
Starting point is 01:33:16 They would catch with their pads, and it would be so hard, it would leave imprints underneath their pads on their chest. Damn, my people. Crazy. And that's a known skill that some people just never develop. The ability to throw a fastball. That's another one. It's like punching power. We discussed it last time.
Starting point is 01:33:32 The dynamics of it. I'll tell you who I think it translates from if he threw a punch, a guy who was explosive as fuck and could throw and do it all, Bo Jackson. Oh yeah, Bo Jackson could punch. Have you taught Bo Jackson how to punch? Here's another example. Herschel Walker.
Starting point is 01:33:48 Herschel Walker could punch like a motherfucker. And he was a karate black belt. He fought a bunch of MMA fights deep into his 40s, remember? And jacked! Jacked at like 48! Shredded, giant six-pack. Not an ounce of fat.
Starting point is 01:34:03 Looks like a superhero. Looked like Yoel Romero, but aged as fuck. And didn't look old. It was weird. Weird. Real weird. He still looks good. He's in his 50s now.
Starting point is 01:34:12 Talking about having one more fight before he stops. Yeah, let's not. But yeah, I hear you. But why not? Go to some small league. How about fucking rising? Oh my God. Did you see Gabby Garcia beat up that grandma?
Starting point is 01:34:24 I was going to post it. I was going to post it. I was going to post it. I got the video. I was just going to post, what the fuck, Japan? Have you guys seen it? And then I thought about it. I go, I can't do this. She was running.
Starting point is 01:34:33 The chick was running. The fuck was that? Can we see that? Yeah. Do you know where it is, Jamie? I'm going to put it up. I got to pee real quick. Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:34:39 I'm going to put it up. I'm going to put it up on Instagram, Jamie. And when I put it up on Instagram, you could just. I'm just going to put it up. Have you seen this, Joey? And I'm going to write. You Instagram, Jamie And when I put it up on Instagram You could just I'm just gonna put it up Have you seen this, Joey? And I'm gonna write You know who Gabby Garcia is? Fucking
Starting point is 01:34:49 Huge She fights a straight up grandma She comes out and is doing like the WWE off the rope stuff As she's coming out like it's a game You know my girl Jessica Tapp Fucking Gabby Garcia Jessica who? Flowers
Starting point is 01:35:02 Oh really? She did? Yeah How? In competition? She did? Yeah. How? In competition? In competition. Oh, at Worlds? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:08 Okay, I just posted it, so if you go to my Instagram, Joe Rogan, you'll see it just says What the Fuck Japan, WTF Japan, and you see this one woman towering jack to the tits. Looks like Jose Canseco in 1984. Oh, my God. Look at that old lady. And she fought a 50-year-old woman who looked like she hasn't worked out in a year. And she looks so scared. Can we get a GoFundMe so she doesn't have to do this shit?
Starting point is 01:35:36 Well, that woman looks so scared, too. Hell, I'd be scared. Can you refresh that? God. Oh, look, she knees her in the body. Oh, my God. And punches her in the face. I mean, and mercifully, Gabby Garcia is not the, she knees her in the body. Oh, my God. And punches her in the face. I mean, and
Starting point is 01:35:45 mercifully, Gabby Garcia is not the most vicious striker in the world. Not the friendliest. Oh, well, she had to do what she had to do. Why would you take that fight? Gabby? Yes. For easy cash? I understand easy cash, but God damn. And look at this poor lady. If she moved to North Hollywood and gave him massages,
Starting point is 01:36:02 or fight Gabby Garcia. Look at this poor lady. They told me, you're going to fight her or go to North Hollywood and suck dick. I don't even think they give her the option. I think they just delay the trip to North Hollywood. Watch this. Look how scared she is. Look at her big, deep breasts while she's looking at Gabby's body.
Starting point is 01:36:22 Gabby's like 6'4". She's legit 6'4", probably 240. All natural. Oh, totally natural. Because all steroids are natural. They all come from Earth. What the fuck is going on, Japan? What are you doing? So crazy. Why is that grandma
Starting point is 01:36:38 even in there? It's so rude. If I'm Gabby Garcia, I'm like, I just can't, man. I'm gonna win no fans if I do this. Well, I don't think most people have seen this. I bet he's got the Sakuraba knee braces on and shit. Yeah, what is the reason why she did it? This lady, you've got to wonder. Look how scared.
Starting point is 01:36:54 She's scared right now. She shook her hand after it's over. Maybe she was a pro wrestler or something. Yeah, I think she was a pro wrestler. They probably gave her a big-ass payday to lose a few years of her life. What the fuck? Yeah, what the fuck indeed. That was what the,
Starting point is 01:37:09 I will say this, that's the worst Japanese freak show I've ever seen because that was a woman who did not belong in there at all. I'll say this,
Starting point is 01:37:15 that's the worst fight I've ever seen. Yeah, that's the worst. Match up, that's the worst I've ever seen, ever. The most brutal mismatch ever.
Starting point is 01:37:22 Yeah. It's horrible, man. Horrible. Why, but Gabby's a jiu-jitsu black belt. Why didn't Gabby just grab a hold of her The most brutal mismatch ever. Yeah. It's horrible, man. Horrible. But Gabby's a jiu-jitsu black belt. Why didn't Gabby just grab ahold of her and choke her? I mean, she could have easily not even hurt the old lady. People will pay to watch anything on New Year's Eve.
Starting point is 01:37:39 I know, but I mean, if you're Gabby, if you're Gabby and you're looking at that. If I called you up and said, listen, I know a guy that wants to fuck his dog. You want to come over for five dollars? New Year's Eve? New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve. As long as I make it to where I got to go by said, listen, I know a guy that wants to fuck his dog, you want to come over for five dollars? New Year's Eve? New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve. Fuck it. As long as I make it to where I got to go to by midnight, I'm solid. Did you ever see one of those videos when you were a kid?
Starting point is 01:37:51 Did you know anybody that had a VHS of Barnyard Betty? No. You never saw one of those? What the fuck's Barnyard Betty? No, no, no. My friend Billy, when I was like 20, I guess, got a VHS tape of this chick that got fucked by animals. And we went to his basement. He had to hide it.
Starting point is 01:38:11 So he had to like go get it. And then we had to meet down the base. And then one of us had to watch the door. The process. So that no one would, you know, one of the parents like. So one of us was like on the stairs, like looking down, you know, like railings in the basement. There's like the fucking gap between the stairs know like railings in the basement there's like the fucking gap
Starting point is 01:38:25 between the stairs and the railings so i don't remember who it was but he was like on the stairs like watching the tv through the gap because he had to be the guy with his arm up in case the door opened because we're watching this chick blow a fucking dog and blow a horse and get fucked by a donkey and all this different crazy shit same lady lady or was it multiple women? I don't know. It was so grainy and so hard to tell, but it was real. I mean, she really was like letting a dog fuck her. She was like letting a pig fuck her. It was horrible. It was horrible.
Starting point is 01:38:54 I mean, I remember faces of death. I couldn't even finish it. I was so scared. Do you ever see? I've seen them all. You've seen them all? Remember the one when they tied the dude between two trucks and pulled him apart?
Starting point is 01:39:05 I don't remember that one. Yeah, it was in the Middle East. Yeah, I didn't get that one either. You had that X-rated shit. I took it off. I remember the one with the guy, the newscaster that was walking backwards and the alligator got him. One minute he was like, we're here at the... We're here live in fucking Clearwater,, to see the reigning of the ducks.
Starting point is 01:39:26 And the guy's going deeper and deeper and deeper. Yeah, all the children are here, and all of a sudden you see the guy go, and they're like, stop it, stop it. And somebody comes and throws a blanket like a leg pops up. Oh, my God. I remember the guy hang gliding,
Starting point is 01:39:40 and he had, like, the camera, and he's hang gliding and just goes into that fucking swamp and then just crocodiles Oh, Jesus Christ the one with the guy hanging the power You ever see when when you're driving and those guys are hanging the terminals mm-hmm and they showed a guy doing something a bolt Just blowing them up and him just like Like this hair going on fire. I'm just dry dad God. They showed the monkey in China where you go to the restaurant and you hit the monkey in the head.
Starting point is 01:40:07 I don't like that. Remember that one? You hit him in the head. Yeah, that's awful. How about that one satanic ritual where they supposedly ate? That's fake, though. That was fake?
Starting point is 01:40:16 That one's fake. There was a few of those that they did where they staged stuff where they pretend, we're pulling out the guts. It was like, it looked fake and cheesy, but that poor monkey was really screaming, man.
Starting point is 01:40:26 They were hitting him in the fucking head. God damn. That's a hard thing. Brutal. That was before. But by the way, that's all before they knew that eating primate brains is like super bad for you. Is it? Fuck yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:38 Primates have prions in their brains. That's where you get mad cow disease. Like mad cow disease or Jacob, Jacob Cruxfeld, however you say it, that disease comes from eating the same tissue as the species that you are. So that's why cows get it. Cows get it from eating brain tissue of other cows. Like you feed cows. Like that's one of the horrible things about industrialized farming
Starting point is 01:41:00 is they would actually take whatever the fuck is left of the cow they're not using and they'd grind it up and feed it to fucking cows. Cows that are straight vegetarian that are only supposed to be eating grass. They're not even supposed to eat corn. When we eat corn, it fucks them up. And they're feeding them cow brains. They're feeding them their own bodies. It was hard.
Starting point is 01:41:19 And that's how they got mad cow disease. What about your calf brains? That's okay. That's okay. Your calf brains are good. My mother used to slice them thin. Yeah. Bread them with Italian progresso and deep fry them.
Starting point is 01:41:32 God damn. Good. A little bit of fucking lemon. My Uncle Vinny used to cook them on the grill. Cook what? Hold up. Lamb brains? Lamb brains?
Starting point is 01:41:40 Oh, my God. What the fuck are we talking about? Delicious. Brains of a cow. Oh, I thought you said cats. Oh, shit. I'm sorry. Oh, god. What the fuck are we talking about? Brains of a cow. I thought you said cats. Oh, shit. I'm sorry. What the fuck is going on here?
Starting point is 01:41:52 That's such a small scoop. I know. I thought you were a cat guy. What the fuck? I thought he was a cat guy. Oh my god. My mom used to slice those. Cats brains.
Starting point is 01:42:02 Cats brains. I'm sorry, dog. What the fuck? And you squeeze lemon on them. And if I give them to you and go, go ahead, eat that chicken cutlet. You'll go, Joey, these are the best chicken cutlets I ever fucking had. And I'll go, they're not chicken cutlets. They're calf's brains. Yeah, cow brains is good, man.
Starting point is 01:42:19 It's really good. Go to Limoncito. Limoncito. Don't feed it to another cow. There's a thing called prions, and those are what the problem is. And these prions, here's what's really crazy. It's almost like nature has a foolproof way. There's calf's brains.
Starting point is 01:42:35 Nature has a foolproof way of making sure it fucks you up with these prions. Because these prions can exist at 1,000 plus degrees for a long time. So you can't cook them out. They exist at a temperature way above anything you're ever going to expose your food to. And they can, I think, find out how long prions can exist at over 1,000 years. Tight move, guys. It's something stunning, like hours. Hours at 1,000 degrees.
Starting point is 01:43:04 So you're not going to kill them. So if you got them in your food, if you're eating and where they found this also, not just in mad cow disease, but in New Guinea, in cannibals, when they find cannibals, they exhibit the same sort of neurological issues where their whole body starts shaking. Like with Jacob's Cruxfeld's, it's like a lot like Parkinson's. Like they start fucking shaking. It's a neurological disease. Those prions from eating brain matter from human beings, it actually gets into your system and just fucks you up. Apparently you can eat meat, though.
Starting point is 01:43:36 You can eat, like, human meat. It doesn't do anything for you. And you're fine? Yeah, it's human brains that's the real issue. It's just... Who the fuck is eating human brains? A lot of people, man. I mean, there was one of the best evidence,
Starting point is 01:43:48 best pieces of evidence that human beings, homo sapiens, preyed on Neanderthals, was finding Neanderthal brains, or skulls, with their brains scooped out. They had scratch marks on the inside where people were scooping out the brains. They had spoons? They had rocks.
Starting point is 01:44:04 They had whatever the fuck they could use to scoop stuff up. But they're scraping. You know, when you get in a brain, there's that connective tissue. It's the shit that all goes wrong when you get knocked out too many times. And that connective tissue is this fibrous matrix that holds the brain in place. And they're scraping that shit away with a rock or something. Is that like a gel that covers your brain? It's fluid, yeah.
Starting point is 01:44:23 There's fluid, but there's also like tissue. There's like fiber. Well, maybe it was raccoons scratching shit, you know? No or something. It's like a gel that covers your brain. It's a fluid, yeah? There's fluid, but there's also like tissue. There's like fiber. Well, maybe it was raccoon scratching shit, you know? No, no, it's tools. It's like deep bone scratches. Some gnarly ass raccoons, man. Well, they've figured out, they know the difference between what the characteristics of predatory stuff, like an animal that's like gnawing on bones and real obvious slices that came from like
Starting point is 01:44:45 a like a tool like when when human beings made those flint tools and shit like that so they've done enough of those tests where these archaeologists can examine these flint marks on bones and with a very high degree of certainty tell whether or not someone's using a flint tool on bone whether or not they're using you know what's one of the more interesting things about egypt in fact because there's some artifacts in egypt that are so perplexing when i had john anthony west on the podcast he and i had some conversations about it was really interesting because they don't know how the fuck they carve these things out there's these there's some vases vase vase um that they made out of stone that exhibit like
Starting point is 01:45:27 looks like someone cut them with a diamond like some diamond headed drill like they don't they literally don't know how they did it because it's missing all the characteristics of uh that you would normally get from someone making something like this like the the hole at the front is too small and it goes inside and it's all smooth inside. It's like, how the fuck did they do this? They did it all out of stone. They carved it all out of one piece of stone. So they can see stuff like they found some other things, different holes in things that they're pretty sure. They used some sort of a, if not a diamond drill, like some kind of a drill with an incredibly hard tip.
Starting point is 01:46:02 So they know. They know that people were eating neanderthal brains which is fucked up that's fucked up but it makes sense you know i mean we know the donner party they fucking ate each other and they knew each other and they ate each other how about that movie alive yeah plane that went down in argentina yeah dude you get hungry you do whatever the fuck you got to do to stay alive bro imagine if was not. Bro, imagine if we go down to the plane, everybody started looking at me and shit like, dog. Joey, you got some good ribs. I wonder how long it takes.
Starting point is 01:46:38 How long, how many days of no food does it take before you start looking at other dudes and you're like, damn. Yeah. Like his shoulder starts looking good. Well, it's also like if you were with your friend and you were like trapped somewhere, you would have to think like, okay, if I eat this dude, I have to live with that for the rest of my life. Like even if you guys drew straws, like you said, okay, one of us is going to live, one of us is going to die. If I come up short i'm jumping off this fucking cliff you climb down the bottom and eat me like you get you make an agreement like with someone who's so gangster they actually fall through that some matt brown
Starting point is 01:47:14 some matt brown type character right so if you did do that like you probably were gonna die anyway eventually like and then but on your way you'd be so ridden with guilt. And even if you made it, even if you made it home, you'd still be thinking you'd be fucked for the rest of your life. What kind of a life do you even have now that you ate your buddy? That'd be a good time to know jiu-jitsu, right? In a plane crash and you're trying to survive up in the mountains and there's 20 people.
Starting point is 01:47:42 After a while, you just put a little rear naked choke. No, you'd be weak. You can't do no fucking jiu-jitsu if you ain't eating. Don't they say after 21 days without foods, when you start getting fucked up, that's that naked or freight shit. Three days with water, 21 without food, right? Yeah, well, you're fucked up pretty much right away,
Starting point is 01:47:56 but your body goes into a state of ketosis and it eats off as much fat as you have. The more fat you have, the better. We don't think about that with our carbohydrate rich diets. Look at this. What are you showing me, Jamie? Survival is the last resort. In the case. You know, we don't think about that with our carbohydrate-rich diets. Look at this. What are you showing me, Jamie? Survival is the last resort in the case of one group, a drift in a lifeboat, 116 passengers,
Starting point is 01:48:15 116 days passed without food before the party turned to eating human flesh. In most cases, anything even remotely resembling food was first eaten. Dogs, candles, leather shoes, and blankets are all consumed first before cannibalism becomes the only recourse for survival. Leather? Shoes? They eat shoes and blankets? Yeah, blankets. They fucking eat it?
Starting point is 01:48:33 Oh, shit. Jesus. Candles. That's dark. What you do is you rear naked choke one dude and just say, hey, look, you fucking had a heart attack. And then you always have another body and you're in charge of that body.
Starting point is 01:48:45 Yeah, but if you choke him out, if you choke him out, his body goes into fucking, then the meat's going to be tough. Whatever. You know what I'm saying? It's like when you shoot a deer the wrong way. So you got to let him die of natural causes, then the meat's tender.
Starting point is 01:48:59 Then you cut a little slice off a leg, and you're fucking tenderizing it. You got to wait. Joey's like, I'm aging him. You got to age meat? You got to be tender. You thought you were going to kill this guy. No, wait. Joey's like, I'm aging him. You gotta age me? You gotta be tender. I thought you were gonna kill this guy. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:49:08 I'm killing him with kindness. Yeah, you gotta kill him with kindness because if you stab him, then the meat is gamey. Gamey. Now, bro, my buddy called me. Did some guy go see you in Colorado? He invented a bullet that as soon as it hits the duck, it has marinade in it. What? Have you heard about this shit?
Starting point is 01:49:24 What the fuck are you doing? I swear to God. It has a marinade? duck, it has marinade in it. What? Have you heard about this shit? What the fuck out of here? I swear to God. Come on. It has a marinade? So like teriyaki in it? Something for duck that when you shoot the duck, as soon as you hit it, the marination goes in it.
Starting point is 01:49:34 I swear to God. That's so silly. That's so ridiculous. Yeah, something crazy. I don't think that would work. And he hit me up, and I go, he's in Denver this weekend. Go see him. That guy might be nuts.
Starting point is 01:49:44 What if the marination goes bad? What if it gets rotten? Yeah, that's a good point, too. I don't know what the fuck it was. It was marinated or salt and pepper. You've got to keep the bullets in the freezer. Salt and pepper bullets. Salt and pepper's here, and we're in a fix.
Starting point is 01:49:54 You've got to keep the bullets in the freezer, I think. God, it sounds like a bad business plan, though, Joey, huh? It sounds like a dude who's high on meth and comes up with a wacky idea that's not going to sell. Come on, Rogan, I've got these teriyaki bullets, bro. That's what you have to do. You got to try cannibalism. Shoot him with a teriyaki bullet. But marinade is like
Starting point is 01:50:16 if you marinate a steak, you need like a pan. You fill it up with marinade and you lay it in there and the idea is it slowly works its way into the muscle and soaks in over like a day or two.
Starting point is 01:50:26 Well, let's say you shoot the duck. He's up in the air. He falls. By the time you get to him, it's two days later. Two days later? Let me get that sprayed, though. Let's get the party started. Let's get the party started.
Starting point is 01:50:38 Hey, did you guys see that Krohn fight? Yeah, man. It was amazing. Man, Kawajiri is no joke. That was the first big test, or first real test for Krohn. Yeah, why don't you see if you can find that online, because I've only seen the finish. I love the way he trapped the leg and caught him with Kawajiri.
Starting point is 01:50:52 He's trying to drop stomps on him and stuff, and he's off his back. The Krohn rising card was sick. It was a great card. He pulled guard three times. Yeah, why not? He's a freak. Hey, people frown upon it. Well, he's another one, Not if you're Chrome Gracie.
Starting point is 01:51:05 But he's another one, like we were talking about, that's like an elite specialist in this one area. You know? I mean, he's not fighting anywhere in UFC type. I mean, Kawajiri's about as close. I think he's 45. That was at 45, right? Isn't he fighting at 45?
Starting point is 01:51:20 I don't know. I'm pretty sure that was at 45. No way. No way is Kawajiri at 45. That's like 55 or 70. That's Japan, so he might have weighed 45. Kawajira might have weighed 180. Did a grandma fight Gabby, for God's sake?
Starting point is 01:51:31 No, he's not that light. I think he's 55 or 65. Krohn probably walks at 180. No, sir. Yes, of course. No way. Of course. He does Abu Dhabi 170.
Starting point is 01:51:43 What do you think he walks around at? I think he walks at 170. Dude, he has size. Abu Dhabi, 170. What do you think he walks around at? I think he walks at 170. Dude, he has size. God, he's not 180. But when we had him on the podcast, he didn't seem that big. He didn't seem 180, but he did seem 170. But I could be wrong. Yeah, you know what?
Starting point is 01:51:55 He could be 170, 175. What did they weigh in at, Jamie? What weight he fought at. Jamie will find out for us. Look at him. He's got a Fighter and the Kid t-shirt on. Look at that. I'm mad at that shirt.
Starting point is 01:52:04 Wow, Fighter and the Kid t-shirt by the Kid. Whoa. Jamie, young out for us. Look at him. He's got a Fighter and the Kid t-shirt on. Look at that. I'm mad at that shirt. Wow. Fighter and the Kid t-shirt by the kid. Whoa. Jamie. Young, powerful Jamie. It's good that they had that card, but didn't they have that card over three days? Is that what happened? They had the heavyweight tournament over three days. That's kind of cool, right?
Starting point is 01:52:18 No, it's terrible for your brain. Not for Crow Cop. No, but for the audience. He thrived. Crow Cop figured it out. It's like a new festival. It's like a weekend thing. It's like a festival. It's awesome. It's like a new festival. It's like a weekend thing.
Starting point is 01:52:25 It's like a festival. It's awesome. It's really from that movie Warriors, the only time that existed in real life up until this. Yeah, this ain't the movies. Guys were getting fucked up. Yeah. Except for Crow Cop. Crow Cop. 42.
Starting point is 01:52:35 Who did he beat? King Mo. Time. That father time. King Mo, father time. That Iranian monster. Big ass Iranian from AKA. How did he knock him out? Caught him with a left hand. Oh, shit. He fucked King Mo up with a, that Iranian monster. Big-ass Iranian from AKA. How did he knock him out?
Starting point is 01:52:45 Caught him with a left hand. Oh, shit. He fucked King Mo up with a left hand, too. He'd fuck King Mo up with some kicks to the body. Ooh. Nasty. Threw some heat. Look, in Ryzen, Crow Cop can go back to his old ways.
Starting point is 01:52:57 Yeah. You know, there's no USADA in Japan. As a matter of fact, they encourage it. They're like, hop on, buddy. They're like, what are you doing? They both weighed in at 144.4. Kawajiri weighed 144.4. So basically 145.
Starting point is 01:53:10 In Japan, you get suspended for not doing steroids. Yeah, it's frowned upon. That's crazy. So Krohn is fighting at 145. Yeah, he's a small dude. Listen, how crazy would it be? He got the fight to the ground so easily by just pulling guard. There's no way he was going to take him down. Kawajiri's got some serious wrestling.
Starting point is 01:53:28 He's a tough motherfucker. Dude, how crazy would it be to see Krohn in the fucking UFC? That'd be sick. He's 4-0 now. 5-0. You know, but here's the thing. Ooh, trapped that leg really nice. Look at that.
Starting point is 01:53:39 Look at that. Beautiful job. Smart. Tracked him down, dude. He trains with the right camp to do it, too. Yep. Who's he training with? He's training with the Diaz brothers. He's with the right camp to do it, too. Yep. Who's he training with? He's training with the Diaz brothers.
Starting point is 01:53:46 Melendez, Jake Shields, the Diaz brothers. Jake Shields, he lost to John Fitch yesterday. Look at that right there. Pulled guard right there. No problem. Big decision, though. 46-49. When he's here, he likes getting in this side guard.
Starting point is 01:54:00 I call it the cliff, but it's like a side thing. It's a good position to get good at. Ooh, good dexterity of that right leg. Look how he sneaks that right leg in and gets that butterfly under the armpit. But if you go back, back up a little, Jamie, watch how he does that. He's such a savage. Ooh, look how slick he is. He has him right there.
Starting point is 01:54:18 He's such a savage. Jamie, let's get rid of that TV this week. We have this TV that's not designed for this. You know how classic these images are right here, dude? Yeah. Against the ropes. Look at that. Ooh, look at this.
Starting point is 01:54:30 Look at that. This is like forever shit right here, dude. Look at it. He's thinking. This is where we saw Crone rise right here. Kyle Jerry's no punk either. Yeah. This is his test.
Starting point is 01:54:40 Look at him trying to flip over. And you know what? He didn't even try to take him down. He just kept pulling guard on him. Because he's doing like I'm to the dance. Exactly. He tried to kick him in the face from there. And then he went.
Starting point is 01:54:49 How did he get his back hair? It's a compilation. Yeah. Okay. That's interesting. Yeah. Krohn's jujitsu is just so next level and compared to these guys. There's no one close.
Starting point is 01:55:00 Yeah. When you're fighting MMA guys like these guys, they're just not going to have the same kind of technique that he has. He's going to have to get there, though. I mean, you see his stand-up. Look at that. Boom. Look at that. Easy takedown.
Starting point is 01:55:13 No problem. I'll fight you off my back. Yeah, the UFC right now would be a little tough for him. Fuck yeah, it would be. He's obviously on the right path. But the cool thing about pulling guard and having a guard good enough to make it a good idea is you can do it at any time to anybody. Look, he trapped it again that same way. He catches that leg when the guy tries to kick him.
Starting point is 01:55:31 And Kawajiri's a tough guy. Can you rewind that again? Let me see how he caught that leg. Let's see. A little bit before that, Jamer. Before that. Right there. Right there.
Starting point is 01:55:40 Catches it, wraps it up with his legs, and then uses it to sweep him. Beautiful. Was his dad in his corner? Oh, yeah. The legend was in the corner. Look at this. This is classic-ass shit right here, man. I'm not mad at the army green gloves, Ryzen.
Starting point is 01:55:53 Yeah, that's kind of cool. Yeah. I just think that I just hope they don't continue with that three-man, three-day fight shit. Look at his right arm. Look at Cowager's right arm, what it does right here. It's not doing anything to defend. Look, it's not really doing anything right, what it does right here. It's not doing anything to defend. Look, it's not really doing anything right there. He's in trouble.
Starting point is 01:56:07 It's not doing anything. It's like just hanging out. His right arm, he kind of just... Look at that shot. What are you doing? Look at that shot. You put your hands... Oh, you got to put your hands to work.
Starting point is 01:56:17 There's his dad. Both your hands. There's his dad. Remember that? Fujita? Yes. I mean, not Fujita. Funaki.
Starting point is 01:56:22 Funaki, yeah. That's a real samurai. Kawajiri isaki, yeah. That's a real semi. Kawajiri is legit, man. This is a big statement for Krohn. Yeah, huge stat for him. Look at him. Yeah, crazy, man. Powerful.
Starting point is 01:56:33 What's really interesting is if he keeps going, you know, a couple more fights and continues with his stand-up training, you could easily see him fighting in the UFC in the next few years. Easily. Or maybe he stays at Ryzen and they sign him to an exclusive. The Gracies in Asia have such a big name. He's making bank.
Starting point is 01:56:54 He's probably making more money over there than a lot of 45ers. He'd have to go through the small fight, like Titan. No, they would sign him straight from this. No, no, no. But before, if he decided to go through the US route right at the beginning he couldn't get into the UFC until he had like four or five
Starting point is 01:57:10 I did right yeah, I bet they'd sign him no not right away with no fights Crone no they wouldn't sign the same thing Marcella Garcia. Why would I do it? I think they would do that. I'm saying Krone right now if I could right now Oh, what are you guys talking about? Beginning of his career, before he started. No, no, no. Not now, no. I'm talking about Krohn now.
Starting point is 01:57:29 What Eddie's saying is that he went this way. It's a smart way to go. Oh, yeah. He fought in 1FC, I think. He fought in 1FC, yeah. Look, we would all be better off, everybody would be better off, if Ryzen continued to blow up. If they continued to blow up, it'd be just like pride in the UFC back in the day.
Starting point is 01:57:46 It'd be great for everybody. If they develop some sort of Fedor-type character, you know, if someone comes along that is like a legit consideration. Like, Fedor, in my opinion, is the only consideration for not only best pound-for-pound, but like best heavyweight ever that didn't fight in the UFC. Oh, yeah. He's the only one. I can't think of another one.
Starting point is 01:58:05 I think Ryzen and Bellator. If you have those three, if you have those three big dogs where even if American fighters want to stay in an American fight and not be in the UFC, you need Bellator to develop. Yeah, you got to pay attention to 1FC, too. I mean, that has nothing to do with Japan, Southeast Asia. Rich Franklin runs that bitch, doesn't he? He's got some job over there. Rich Franklin?
Starting point is 01:58:26 No, Chaudhry. No, no. No, no. Rich Franklin got some big executive job there. Oh, he did? Oh, I didn't know that. Let me ask you guys something. What's the situation with Cyborg at this point? She's pissed hot again. They're waiting to see what the commission does. What kind of suspension? She's getting at least a year. At least.
Starting point is 01:58:43 What she pissed hot for is also an anti-androgen. It's getting at least a year. At least. What she pissed hot for is also an anti-androgen. It's a DHT inhibitor. I used to rub that shit on my head to prevent hair loss. It inhibits DHT. And it's also used by people who take steroids
Starting point is 01:58:57 to diminish the effects of when females take steroids. Diminish the effect. It's also a masking agent. So if females take steroids, diminish the effect. It's also a masking agent. So if you take steroids, some people take that stuff as a masking agent. She's 31? It's also a diuretic. So it's a very weird drug.
Starting point is 01:59:14 It's called spironolactane. Is it lactane? Lactone? But it has many different uses. If she gets three years, that's no way. What's her argument then? It's not a good argument. All the arguments that she gave are not good arguments.
Starting point is 01:59:27 That she took something out of competition, that she was told by her doctor that it would be okay, when it's clearly on the USADA banned list. It's 100% banned. It's not like, there's certain things you could take out of contests. Like, the big one's pot. Like, say if they catch you tomorrow and you're supposed to fight in six months and you're smoking weed like crazy and they test you and they go look we got a test you go look i just want to let you know i've been smoking a lot of weed they're like okay as long as it's not steroids that's why john jones didn't get in trouble when he pissed hot for
Starting point is 01:59:56 cocaine three weeks out of the fight with daniel cormier because that's not in competition and it's not a performance enhancing drug he's just just partying, right? So what this is, though, is a performance enhancing drug. Not just a performance enhancing drug, but problematic in that it inhibits. It's performance enhancing in that it works as a diuretic. You're not allowed to use diuretics. But it also inhibits their ability to detect steroids in you. She's in trouble. She's in trouble.
Starting point is 02:00:24 You saw it was going to eat her ass up. And if she gets three years... Well, here's the thing. How old is she? She's in her mid-30s. Mid-30s. They tested her because she passed on three world title fights. They had three world title fights lined up for her.
Starting point is 02:00:41 At 145, which is the weight class that she asked for, she said she couldn't make it in eight weeks. And so then they gave her more weeks. Skeptical, hypocritical. Yeah, they gave her a third test and they're like, something's up. And whether or not they were going to test her anyway, who knows? But that's when they tested her and that's when she pissed hot.
Starting point is 02:00:57 It makes sense. And she did not reveal before that that she was taking that. The whole thing is- She's in trouble, man. There it is. Have you seen the skeptical baby? That's huge. This is a skeptical baby now.
Starting point is 02:01:10 I see that in everybody. Skeptical baby. Look at this baby. That's so funny. This baby's like, bitch. Like, what the fuck? That skeptical snake is so skeptical. With cyborgs super skeptical
Starting point is 02:01:27 Have you seen the skeptical house the motherfucker so skeptical skeptical catalac Those are windows what the fuck kind of window is that skeptical window do you think they did that on real house? Yes. Those are windows. What the fuck kind of window is that? Skeptical windows. Do you think they did that on purpose? Hell no. What's wrong with people? It almost seems like that was an accident. It's so funny. That is funny.
Starting point is 02:01:54 But with Cyborg, she gets three years, she's in trouble. I find the interesting, too, when Ronda lost again, and she's throwing shade at Ronda. I'm like, bitch, you just got busted for steroids. How do you throw shade at someone? Well, she didn't get busted for steroids. She got busted for a dihydrotestosterone. No, no, no. you just got busted for steroids. How do you throw shade at someone? Well, she didn't get busted for steroids. She got busted for a dihydrotestosterone. No, no, no. It's not a precursor.
Starting point is 02:02:10 It's a dihydrotestosterone inhibitor. That's what it is. Inhibitor. Yeah. And to me, my brain goes, you're in trouble. Yeah. We know you're in trouble. She certainly could be in trouble.
Starting point is 02:02:19 It's one thing if she got... She said that she's got a bunch of issues because she really did wreck her body getting down to 140 which definitely does happen yeah which i'm sure and i that that seems the problem is when you wreck your body like i think she's saying that she takes in too much water now and her body's like trying to hold on to water and that they gave her a drug to diminish the amount of water i talked to a couple of doctors about this. I asked them questions, and they all gave me that snake face. They're all like, what the fuck? They're all like, bitch. With her background, too, it's like, fuck, man.
Starting point is 02:02:53 You don't fuck with anything that's illegal, and you definitely don't fuck with anything that people use because they're women that take steroids. Even if it's just a coincidence that you happen to be, you should look at every fucking label extremely carefully. There's no coincidence. Is that the worst cut of all time? Yeah, it's one of them. What do you mean cut? But here's the thing, man.
Starting point is 02:03:12 The worst thing cut of all time. Fucking Diego Sanchez. Diego Sanchez made 145. He fought in 185 in Ultimate Fighter 1. Kenny Floyd. Here's the problem. She fucking deadlifts 305 pounds a couple weeks after passing on fights. She passes on the fight and then puts up Instagrams of her deadlifting.
Starting point is 02:03:31 Massive weight. You know, whoever the fuck handles her Twitter account, because I wrote that up, because me and Brett Akamoto were having a discussion about it on Twitter. Very good dude. We were having a little back and forth on Twitter about it. And, you know, he said, isn't it weird that she's not fighting for the title? And I'm like, what's weird is that she passed on the title fight and then posts Instagram photos of her deadlifting.
Starting point is 02:03:56 And then she responded that it's just like what football players do when they're not in camp. Excuse me, ma'am. And I'm like, what? You saw that Golden Snitch was like, what would you say? Meanwhile, she's not writing that. I'm looking at the English is perfect. I'm like, this is whoever works with her or her boyfriend or whoever the fuck handles the Instagram account.
Starting point is 02:04:14 I'm like, that's no excuse. There's a lot of maintenance that you do that's not deadlifting 305 fucking pounds. You do that to put on mass. That is why you deadlift. You deadlift to put on fucking mass. She's got muto mass. She's got plenty of mass. She has no problem with mass.
Starting point is 02:04:32 You know, I mean, that's not what she needs. If she really wants to fight at 145 pounds and she needs more than eight weeks to make the weight, what she should be doing is long-term cardio and no weight lifting. I guess that's what she's doing too, though, Joe. She goes, I do that and then I run every morning. That's so dude. Come the fuck on. she's doing too, though, Joe. She goes, I do that, and then I run every morning. Look at this, though, dude. Come the fuck on.
Starting point is 02:04:49 Those aren't as heavy as they look. Trying to develop that power, son. What the fuck are you talking about? No, they're made out of light rubber. No, no, that's 300-something pounds, son. That's 305 pounds, bro. That's what she's doing. This is YouTube, though. Why did she tag Gabby Garcia?
Starting point is 02:05:02 That's worse. Did Gabby Garcia curl? Gabby Garcia helped Gabby just. Did Gabby Garcia curl it? Oh, cool. And Gabby just started curling that shit? They have the same doctor. I don't know. Fuck's sake. The whole thing is awful.
Starting point is 02:05:12 It's awful. It's awful. Whoever the fuck was in her corner that let her post that video, I'd be like, hey, hey, hey, what are you doing with your phone? What are you doing with your phone? You going to put that online? Get the fuck out. Give me your phone.
Starting point is 02:05:22 Because the golden snitch is literally just waiting in the dark. If he's looking at that, he's looking at a woman deadlifting 305 for reps. You're going to put that online? Get the fuck out. Give me your phone. Because the golden snitch is literally just waiting in the dark. If he's looking at that, he's looking at a woman deadlifting 305 for reps. We're going there 6 a.m. tomorrow morning. Yeah. Boom. Look, it is possible that you could get that big and that jacked without anything. But it takes a long fucking time.
Starting point is 02:05:39 And that's what you're doing. That's what you're doing all the time. If you look at some of those CrossFit gals, some of those are on steroids, 100%, but some of them are not. And you can get big if you have the right genetics and you do that kind of lifting. But that kind of lifting is for people that want to put on power. She's got ridiculous power. Cyborg has some of the nastiest power you're ever going to see in women's MMA.
Starting point is 02:05:59 Probably the most. Probably the most. The most. It's right up there with... Well, she has the full range. She'll kick you and knee you and punch you and elbow you, whereas Nunes is, Nunes will kick you hard, but it's her punches that are fucking ferocious and scary. She doesn't hit hard in Cyborg. No way.
Starting point is 02:06:13 No way. Cyborg hits you like Mike Tyson with braids. She hits, yeah, she hits girls and you see the cognitive shut off. You see them like, what the fuck did I sign up for? She makes world class girls look like that grandma in Rison. She's a beast. Monster. Just unfortunate that there's so much controversy. Like, I would love if there was someone like Cyborg with no shade
Starting point is 02:06:32 attached to it, no weirdness attached to it. But now she's got these two strikes against her. Well, Amanda Nunes. She has no shade. She knocks girls out. She just murked Misha Tate. You know, you're probably the number two most famous girl of all time in women's MMA. And she just murked the number one.
Starting point is 02:06:47 There's your star with no shade. Great person. It's true. That's the other thing that's happening with the youth now. That they're already coming up without that pride. We were getting a lot of guys from Pride in the beginning. The Juice was okay. Right.
Starting point is 02:07:01 These new guys, Cody's and these Amanda Nunesunez's they're gonna come up straight up right right right they're gonna come up the right way which is even scarier they're not gonna flag they're not gonna be no drama maybe i hope not but that's what i'm saying you're gonna see shorter careers that's for sure young generation you know is uh i think in mma you're seeing short careers anyways like like to me this this i feel the same way as you guys do. It's sad the way Ronda lost, but it's not that sad because she had such a great run. She was a pioneer. She was on the Mount Rushmore of MMA in general.
Starting point is 02:07:35 She was on Mount Rushmore. It's really not that sad. God damn, what an iconic run, man. Sad is a guy like Mark Coleman or a guy like if Mark Hunt were to retire. That's sad. People don't have money and fame. Mark Hunt were to retire. Like, that's sad. People don't have money and fame. She's set, man. It's not that sad.
Starting point is 02:07:49 She did some great shit, man. She did great things, man. You know what's interesting here that's going on? It's like the Ronda fans, they're not MMA fans, a lot of them. They're Ronda fans. And so, like, you see how they respond to stuff on Twitter, and you see, like, the reaction and the things that they're saying. It's very emotional.
Starting point is 02:08:07 It's very emotional. It's also almost like they don't understand. They don't understand the sport, you know. Get back on the horse. Like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Fuck the horse. No, listen to your mom. Your mom's saying stop.
Starting point is 02:08:18 Her mom's brilliant. Yeah, her mom's brutal. She's so brutal. She says, she goes, go let stupid people get punched in the face. Sorry, stupid people. Her mom's brilliant. And she's a doctor. And the good thing for Rhonda, too, out of all this is she's going to find out who's in her corner.
Starting point is 02:08:33 There's been so many yes-men. You know how it is in Hollywood. When you're on set, you know how a lot of bullshit is. Your agents, these other people you're working with, these other celebrities telling you how good you are. Well, now when you lose, that phone stops ringing, the text stops coming, everyone asking you to dinner, you're going to find out who's in your corner. That's probably what they might be good for. Now let me ask, what movies did she do the last two years?
Starting point is 02:08:54 Because I heard they cut her one thing down and the other one disappeared. Who knows? Who knows what kind of deal she has, but things definitely dried up substantially after the Holly knockout because she's not the same person anymore. The thing about all those deals is when you're a winner in Hollywood and they start throwing all these movies at you and you're some athlete that's coming over, it's all predicated on you being that person that they're selling, right? What are they selling? They're selling this undefeated women's ass kicker, the likes you've never seen before, right? Throwing people in their head, get them in arm bars. That's what they're selling
Starting point is 02:09:30 Well, that's not you anymore now. You just got smashed by Holly and then smashed again by Amanda They can't sell your acting abilities You need to do Acting to she do Roadhouse did she redo road? They killed I don't know about any of that stuff. I just know to his point where it's almost a good thing for him. It really is, man. It's not a sad story. I don't find it as a sad story.
Starting point is 02:09:51 I really don't. Well, it's definitely sad. No, she was an angel. But it's not the saddest. She did what she had to do and she disappeared, bro. It's not the saddest story. She came to open the door. She leaves with all that money.
Starting point is 02:09:59 It's no different. Do we feel sorry for Tiger Woods? Like I said, when that foundation rocks, what do you think is different with Tiger? His swing? No. His body? No. The difference is Tiger Woods didn't get the fuck beat out of him in 48 seconds. No, no, I know and that's fighting, but what I'm saying is their mentality changes. Right.
Starting point is 02:10:13 Tiger was unstoppable. He's had that, he had the scandal, but then he also had some significant back injuries. Correct. Or okay, a better example to your fight example, Mike Tyson. Yeah, that's also wear and tear too, man. Ah, okay, a better example to your fight example, Mike Tyson. Yeah, that's also wear and tear, too, man. Ah, yeah, you can say that.
Starting point is 02:10:30 For Ronda, too. For Ronda, too, it's wear and tear. I'll tell you why I can say that. One of the reasons why is because the driver that I had this weekend in Vegas that took me to the airport was Mike Tyson's driver for 17 years. He and I had a long conversation. Cool dude. I wish I could remember his fucking name because I only met him for that brief ride to the airport. But he was telling me how fucked up Tyson was after the Lennox Lewis fight.
Starting point is 02:10:50 He's like, dude, Lennox Lewis hit Mike, and Mike was fucked up for a long time for that. And you don't think that. You watch a guy get knocked out. You watch a guy get stopped. And Mike was talking after the fight. And he was like, hey, I'm done. It's over. And he stepped back.
Starting point is 02:11:06 But when he goes home, and he he's alone and the cameras are off and he's got vertigo he's got equilibrium problems and his ears won't stop ringing and his head won't stop throbbing you don't see that he's doing interviews his head's throbbing his ears are ringing there was no internet back then it's harder it's harder to hide nowadays. When you got your daily thing that you do and everybody, you got your followers and they all know your daily thing and you guys are doing the daily things. All of a sudden you disappear.
Starting point is 02:11:33 Everybody knows you disappear. Back then no one really knew. You lost a fight, you never really see them again. When you're suffering alone, the only way people find out is if you talk about it. We don't know what happens to a lot of these guys after they get beat the fuck up. You know, here's one. Terry Edom.
Starting point is 02:11:50 When Terry Edom got knocked out by Edson Barboza. The wheel kick from another dimension. It was the first wheel kick KO in the UFC and the worst wheel kick KO. It was fucking horrible. Oh, my God. And he has never been the same again. Does he still fight? Yes.
Starting point is 02:12:07 He's fought a few times. I feel bad saying that. But before that, Terry Adam was a bad motherfucker. He was really good. And Terry Adam was one of those kids that was coming up like a lot of other guys in the division. You know, he's looking like he might be a contender someday. He's like, he's slick.
Starting point is 02:12:20 He's got a good, you know, he's got a good boxing, kickboxing style. He's got good submissions. He works hard. He's a smart fighter. He's a good guy. You meet him. He's slick. He's got a good boxing, kickboxing style. He's got good submissions. He works hard. He's a smart fighter. He's a good guy. You meet him. He's a gentleman. You're like, this kid might have real potential.
Starting point is 02:12:45 Sh-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p As much as you can when you're there, man. You got to demand. That's why your boy Tony Ferguson holding out and being like, I need more money. He could get wheel kicked. Chance of it happening, not good. But he could get wheel kicked. So that's why he goes like, dude, I need as much money as possible. Well, he's not going to get wheel kicked against Nurmagomedov. He could eat a huge right hand and he'd never change it. He fought Barbosa.
Starting point is 02:12:59 He beat him. That Barbosa fight was amazing. It was a good fight. Oh, tourney's so fun. Tony Ferguson is one of my favorite guys to watch, for sure. Oh, hell yeah. He's so fun. He's like you said.
Starting point is 02:13:10 He's a straight Barbarian. I'll figure it out. What's going on with that? Because I saw he posted Instagram that he's in Big Bear. He's in Big Bear with his family, enjoying the snow. Oh, just chilling? He's not training? No.
Starting point is 02:13:22 I thought he was going up there to train. I was like, oh, I got all hopeful. I thought it was on got hopeful not that i know of not that i know of but you know what they're trying to do what they're trying to do aldo and nurmagomedov for a fucking interim 155 and i'm like how do you have a 155 interim when connor just won the 155 a week ago what about max though what about max holloway he is max hollow Well, he's got the intern 145. Such a shit show. And Holloway is the one interim. Because Aldo versus Negan Murdoch is sick.
Starting point is 02:13:51 Yeah, it's a great fight. Aldo versus Murdoch. Well, especially when you see what happened with Michael Johnson. Michael Johnson stunned Habib. He stung him. He hit him and stung him. And Michael Johnson, with all due respect, is nowhere near the striker that Jose Aldo is. Jose Aldo's on a totally different level.
Starting point is 02:14:08 You think Jose's as powerful as Johnson? Explosive? That's a very good question because he's not as big. He's been fighting at 145 his whole career, and he's going to be fighting a fucking gorilla. I mean, they ain't nobody. There's a brushing gorilla. There's a difference between Johnson's bottom game and Aldo's bottom game. 100%. Oh, come on. 100%. game and Aldo's bottom game. 100%.
Starting point is 02:14:25 Oh, come on. No, no. Oh, 100%. 100%. Aldo's will be way better. Way better. Also, Aldo's kicks, they're a giant factor. Because if Aldo, who has amazing takedown defense, fucking amazing.
Starting point is 02:14:37 Some of the best. Some of the best takedown defense. So he's also got fucking nasty leg kicks. So if Nurmagomedov moves at him, what is this? Who is this? Who is this? What are you showing me here? Habib Nurmagomedov slams UFC for lying to the fans about Jose Aldo, demands relevant fight against Turner.
Starting point is 02:14:53 Why isn't he saying he's lying to the fans? Let's see. Let's see what he says here. Oh, shit. No, it'll come back on. This goddamn screen, dude. It's clear to everyone that you hiding Con Connor from me, but stop lying to your fans like I don't want fight with Aldo.
Starting point is 02:15:08 I'm ready to fight with anyone in my division. Give me relevant fight so you won't, first of all, take your phone away from your sister. Somebody got this phone and making... No, he's definitely doing it. The broken English is so rough, but I love it. It makes it more gangster. Okay, you've never matched up.
Starting point is 02:15:24 What is that? I can't see that, Jamie. This thing's in front of me. Oh, you never matched up. Two guys with a 9-8 win streak in UFC. Never in UFC history. Okay, that doesn't mean anything. See, here's the problem. Sorry, Tony Ferguson is too expensive.
Starting point is 02:15:36 I see what he's saying, but let me explain why he's wrong. They need big, relevant fights to sell pay-per-views right now. That's all they care about. And here's the deal. The UFC was purchased for $4 billion. Imagine if you bought a, I mean, you own a place, right? Correct. You own your house. You know what a mortgage is.
Starting point is 02:15:57 Sure do. Mortgages are pretty cunty. You look at them every month and go, Jesus. Now, if you have a mortgage for a nice house and you spend a million bucks, that's a fucking nut you got to make every month, man. You got to think about it. You got to go, okay, we got the mortgages covered. All right. And then you move on with all the other bills, right? Tell me about it, son. Imagine a $4 billion house. What kind of fucking mortgage?
Starting point is 02:16:19 And how do we pay the bills? By doing huge fights. Huge fights. So we got to figure some shit out. Huge fights. Interim, interim, interim. Everybody get a belt. And the reality is John Jones is suspended, and John Jones isn't even the champ right now.
Starting point is 02:16:31 So when he comes back, he's not even fighting for a world title unless he fights for the world title. So you got to have, DC has got to be healthy, or you got to have John fight for an interim. Because they're just throwing interims out like they're fucking flyers that they put on your car when dudes are trying to sell car washes and shit. It's a good time to be in the UFC. And my brother, if they don't start getting these fucking cards selling, there's going to be another season of Fear Factor that's going to be added on pretty soon. No, there's not. No, there's not.
Starting point is 02:16:58 You're going to see CM Punk versus some Brad Pitt shit just to sell pay-per-views or some shit. They'll do something, dog. I don't know what they're going to do. Who knows if I'll be there for it. But when you look at the title picture, that card that they have
Starting point is 02:17:15 in Brooklyn, that's a pay-per-view card and it looks like an FS1 card right now. I'm sure they're going to juice it up. They'll get more. You better be a die-hard fan to pay $60 for that shit. It's hard. It's hard to make those cards. So I think we kind of nailed it when we were talking about it earlier.
Starting point is 02:17:31 Like, what guys sell pay-per-views? I think Woodley is a bigger star now that he beat Wonderboy, but he still wants that big. Not a pay-per-view, Joe. And Dana and I were having this conversation. He's like, you can't have Nick Diaz. He goes, Nick Diaz hasn't won a fight since 2011. You can't have him step in and just go right up to the title and fight. It sells, though, though.
Starting point is 02:17:48 That's what I said. I said, but I want to see it. And he goes, I want to see it, too, but you can't just do that. You can't sell it. Well, no one's going to take the sport serious. If you give a guy who hasn't won since 2011 or 12, give him a title shot. Fans are going to be like, come on, bro. You say that, but I think they missed the boat if they wanted to make the fucking big
Starting point is 02:18:04 money. It's Nick Diaz versus Conor McGregor. No, he's too big, brother. Whatever, they fight at 170. Oh, come on. No, his brother was too big for him. His brother was too big for him. Do you think he's too big?
Starting point is 02:18:15 Way too big. I think that talk is nonsense because Conor's a 155-pound champ. Nate fought at 155 most of his career. He fought at 170 a couple of times and he's undersized. Dong Yong Kim beat him at 170. He's a legit 170-er though. Especially now. He's older now too. Maybe.
Starting point is 02:18:33 But he fights 155 easy. He looked great against Michael McDonald at 55. Tyron Woodley can't make 55. If his fucking life depends on it, Tyron Woodley is not going to make it 55. The champ can't make $155 at $170. Nate can. So Nate is not a real $170.
Starting point is 02:18:50 Now here's to your point, and Dana's point, he hasn't won a fight since 2011, and you have Conor, your cash cow fight this monster hasn't won forever. It's a great story. It really is. I love a great story. Big Brother steps in. I would watch it. I would watch it I would watch him in
Starting point is 02:19:05 but to your point they have to figure something out to get these stars he can't do it overnight to me it doesn't matter you put Nick Diaz for what he's done
Starting point is 02:19:13 out of respect who's gonna complain well apparently they offered Nick Diaz Robbie Lawler and Nick passed on it that's the word that's the word
Starting point is 02:19:21 behind the scenes interesting maybe I'm not supposed to say that but I wanted to see that fight. Me too. I would love to see that rematch. But I think Nick wants a fucking title fight.
Starting point is 02:19:30 I think Nick is like, look, I want a big, big name or a title fight. I love how they make these demands now. He's got money. Nick made some money. He's not ridiculous. He doesn't spend it all. Well, how about Nate? I'm not answering the call unless it's 20 million.
Starting point is 02:19:42 Yeah, we talked about that. Get him, son. We talked about that recently in the podcast. I was like, well, let's break this down. Because let's say they do a million pay-per-view buys, which is top end. There's only a few people that have ever sold a million. It's like Brock, Ronda, Conor. That's it.
Starting point is 02:19:56 A million is top of the food chain. So a million pay-per-view buys at $60. You're taking one-third right off the bat for Nate. It's really hard to justify giving someone $20 million for a fight. UFC's not going to do that. It's going to be real hard. And then obviously... Conor could demand that. Conor's like one of the only guys
Starting point is 02:20:13 that can get that kind of money. He's the only guy. You think eventually guys will just start doing, like they get so big like Conor. He just does his own show and he gets his own people to produce it. No, the UFC lawyers are too good to let you get out of your contract to do that. They realize that. Here's the thing. If Nate had a legit
Starting point is 02:20:29 fight with someone other than Conor that was exciting, the problem is there's no one else in the division that's got that kind of marquee value. At 55? Yeah, there's no one in the division that has the kind of marquee value that if you had a... Look, I think Nate is a fucking huge star. But in less... Especially now. I mean, after after he beat Connery's one of the biggest stars
Starting point is 02:20:47 outside of that upper echelon pay-per-view look like level I give him time anybody's not a world title holder right now so if you wanted to really have a big fight for Nate I would have him that would work I'm fight all that would work that would work that would work no no winner that fight is Conor. Does GSP ever come back? GSP, apparently, they couldn't work out the deal with the Reebok deal. Like, he's got a deal with Under Armour. He's got a big deal with Under Armour. He makes a lot of money through Under Armour.
Starting point is 02:21:15 Monthly shit. Yeah, and so he couldn't work out a deal that was worth it to him. You know, there was an offer on the table. He didn't like it. They're still talking. He still says he wants a fight, but if the UFC, now that they've lost Ronda, most likely
Starting point is 02:21:32 lost Ronda. We don't know what happens. She's not the same draw anymore. She's definitely not the same draw anymore. Definitely a tough sell. Who fucking knows? A year and a half down the line, she's still only 29. I think Ronda could still get pay-per-views if she comes back in a year. For sure, but it's not the same.
Starting point is 02:21:50 It's not the same. That baby sitting money flows like water. That sitting money, yeah. For sure. People will not want to watch it even more. But she's not fighting anytime soon, so you can't bank on her as part of your stable. No, no, no, no, no, no. So you got to move on from it.
Starting point is 02:22:01 If she comes, great. Let's keep going. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. It's interesting, man. It's a crazy sport. It what I'm saying? Yeah. It's interesting, man. It's a crazy sport. It goes up. It goes down.
Starting point is 02:22:08 It moves all over the place. Every sport's like this, though. Here's the other thing. When is Brock Lesnar back? I mean, if Brock Lesnar's suspended. The first of never. That's not true. God damn it, son.
Starting point is 02:22:19 Listen, he only got suspended for clomiphene. Like, clomiphene, even though it enhances steroids, your recovery from steroids because it reduces estrogen. It's post-psychotherapy for steroids. It's definitely not good. But it also exists in a bunch of different supplements, like over-the-counter stuff. Hey, man, are you arguing he wasn't taking it? No. No, I'm not.
Starting point is 02:22:40 No, I'm not. What I'm saying is, how much time do you think they're going to give him off? Like, how much time are they going to sack him for? How many times are you going to let him not do the USADA test and go in there and beat up a guy? But no, no, no. He will have to do the USADA test again. He didn't last time. Because the last time he did it, they had a couple exemptions where they can get in on the four-month thing that they built in in case they wanted to make a big fight where they could sign somebody.
Starting point is 02:22:59 So that one obviously blows up in their face. And he's going to get suspended. But how long? For how long? I thought they gave him a year and $225,000 fine. Is that what it is? Pretty sure. Okay.
Starting point is 02:23:10 So that's from what? July? Yeah, it's all. That's retroactive. Yeah, retroactive. So that ain't that long from now. We're in January, February, March, April, May, June. Six months.
Starting point is 02:23:20 Then the heavyweight division needs him. Fuck yeah. John Jones. First heavyweight fight. Brock Lesnar. You're welcome. Can you imagine that fight? The only problem is... Jon would murk him. Do you think so? Yes. He'd murk him in the grappling?
Starting point is 02:23:37 I think you're just completely dominated. I think fucking Stiopik would fucking wreck him. You piss that mother... You piss that mother fuck off from Cleveland, and he'll fuck Brock Lesnar. Because he'll say it. You better do the fucking steroids. Steopic is crazy.
Starting point is 02:23:52 I love that motherfucker. Miocic, I love him. He's got that immigrant mentality. Bring him on. Give him more fucking steroids. What's that? He's born in America. Yeah, whatever the fuck he is, but his name is Miocic.
Starting point is 02:24:03 Definitely born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. He's got that fucking crazy blood in him. Yeah, whatever the fuck he is, but his name is Miocic. Definitely born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, but whatever. He's got that fucking crazy blood in him. And he don't give a fuck. Croatian. Listen, he proved it with fucking Overeem. He don't give a fuck. Put him in there with Brock Lesnar. Go ahead, I dare you.
Starting point is 02:24:16 The Brock that fought Mark Hunt? I'll rip his fucking head off. Yeah. That juice to the gill fucking Brock Lesnar who just ragdolled poor Mark Hunt. Yeah, but Mark Hunt's never been the kind of grappler that Stipe is. Stipe's way better at defending takedowns. Oh no, I think Stipe beats him. And you know what? If he punches Stipe in the face, it's gonna get
Starting point is 02:24:33 more steam out of his fucking ears. He's not gonna bring back Brock Lesnar coming back. Brock Lesnar ain't never coming back. Well, he's not gonna come back and fight for a world title right away. You don't think so? No. That was the biggest embarrassment of the fucking I think he'd be the only way. That was the biggest embarrassment of the fucking year.
Starting point is 02:24:47 Good Lord, that would be crazy for them. That was the biggest fucking embarrassment of the year, that dude. Why would that be? Embarrassment, bro. What was embarrassing? Just embarrassing him against Mark Hunt. They knew he was on the juice. He went in there, loaded to the gills.
Starting point is 02:24:58 It was just an embarrassing fucking thing. Get up, Joey. It was an embarrassing thing for everybody. And Mark Hunt had every fucking right to be mad. They put him in there with a guy that's coming off rocket fucking fuel. That dude just don't eat deep water. Look at the size of his fucking head. He's taking shit that makes your fucking head grow.
Starting point is 02:25:15 Okay? That's what they give to fucking pit bulls. I hope they put him against my yo-chick. I will fly to fucking Cleveland. That gum is climbing out of your mouth. He's so fast. I found this knot in my nose that was bigger than this gum. They had to take the gum out to eat it.
Starting point is 02:25:28 Ew! You ate a booger? Oh, it was so long. It was like a Coke booger. I got a flashback from the 80s. I inhaled that motherfucker anyway. Why did you eat a booger? Because I love them. Ew! I love them. From time to time I have a little pimple. What the fuck is wrong with you? And I squeeze it and it just comes out
Starting point is 02:25:44 like a stream and it's got like a little pimple. What the fuck is wrong with you? And I squeeze it, and it just comes out like a stream. And it's got like a little clam. Dude, I was on board with you with all the Steve May talk and shit. Do you really eat boogers? Listen, from time to time. Oh, Jesus Christ. When you do coke for 30 years, it's a habit. You wake up in the morning, pick one out.
Starting point is 02:25:57 It's like a fucking candy cane with coke on it. You inhale that motherfucker. It's like going to the dentist for free. I will throw up on this fucking table Let's be honest with ourselves we're all friends here that was the most embarrassing fucking thing I ever seen I agree They knew he was on it and they put that fucking animal in there Okay, and you know what man go ahead keep doing those steroids put him in there against be open whatever Go ahead.
Starting point is 02:26:21 Keep doing those steroids. Put him in there against P.O.P. Whatever. Young Chich. I love that Cleveland motherfucker dude. Stipe. He'll kill him. He'll fucking kill him in general.
Starting point is 02:26:35 I don't think they would ever be able to have him come off a suspension and fight for the title. That's not how it goes. Ah, they've done it before. Bro, $4 billion. Don't eat a scab off an Iranian's head right now. $4 billion. Right now, they're fucking sitting there going, we lost Ronda. Take the gum out of your mouth.
Starting point is 02:26:47 You're driving me crazy. We lost Ronda. Give me a piece of paper. Give me a tissue. We lost Ronda, and the only other thing we got is fucking Khan, and he's having a baby. He don't want to fucking come back.
Starting point is 02:26:56 No, you know what you got. He's talking about he might come back right after the first year. Yeah, but they don't want to give him who he's supposed to fight. Who's he supposed to fight? He's supposed to fight that fucking Khalabeeb. End of story. End of story. Khalabeeb. No more fucking around. But want to give him who he's supposed to fight. Who's he supposed to fight? He's supposed to fight that fucking Khalabeeb. End of story.
Starting point is 02:27:06 End of story. Khalabeeb. No more fucking around. But they would give him that. No more fucking around. Well, then let's do it. Let's set it up. No, that's not a money fight.
Starting point is 02:27:14 Yeah, I'm with Joey. Let's fucking do it. Let's fuck up this shit. You don't need to fight Aldo. You don't need to fight nobody. He's number one, right? Or is your boy number one? Tony?
Starting point is 02:27:23 Khabib's number one. Okay, then that's the fight. Enough! Enough! Wait a minute. Tony was number one, and then Khabib became number one. Why did Khabib leapfrog Tony? I don't know.
Starting point is 02:27:33 Who knows the rankings? Because he fucking took my girl, whatever. But he's only fought a couple times in the past X amount of years. I don't know if he's number one, brother. Khabib's number one. Well, that's the thing he did. Listen, he's fighting now. He's available today.
Starting point is 02:27:44 He's available today. He's available today. He's available for Brooklyn. Okay. He said it when he fought against Michael Johnson. He's available for fucking Brooklyn. Okay, he's available for Brooklyn. Interesting. Let's get Eddie against Rafael.
Starting point is 02:27:55 That's a good fight. Let's get Edson back in there. People like watching him. Let's get Don Bonio, the reussionaire. We got some fucking people here, okay? We got a lot of good guys here. We got a lot of everywhere. Where the fuck are they? Why aren't they fighting? Let's get Don Bonio, the real shinair. Let's get... We got some fucking people here, okay? Yeah, a lot of good guys here. We got a lot of fucking good guys there. Where the fuck are they?
Starting point is 02:28:07 Why aren't they fighting? Let's get here. He sells pay-per-views. Donald Cerrone. Cerrone? Not 300,000, but he's always... But he's fighting at 170. Robbie Lawler, that guy there is good.
Starting point is 02:28:19 Fucking... They got it. Joey needs to be the matchmaker. They fucking got it, okay? Well, no, he... Yeah, man, it's an interesting situation, isn't it? They got plenty of good fucking fighters. They got a whole shitload of them.
Starting point is 02:28:28 They just don't want to give us the fights we want to see. No, they don't. That's the fucking problem. What fight don't they want to give you? I want to see Khabib. That's the fight. Khabib. That's it.
Starting point is 02:28:37 End the story. There's no Aldo. There's no Tony Ferguson. There's no babies. There's no nothing. But he has a baby. But he's got a baby. But it's also not a big draw for him. It's not a big draw for him. There's no babies. There's no nothing. But he has a baby. But he's got a baby. But it's also not a big draw for him.
Starting point is 02:28:47 It's not a big draw for him. Give him the fuck. You got three babies. I throw $20 million on you, the babies wait six weeks. But Conor's already got $20 million. That's the difference. He wants to take time. He cannot.
Starting point is 02:28:57 He cannot. His life is more important than what the UFC wants. He's running the show. I agree with you. He's running the show. Then May 5th, Memorial Day weekend. It's Khalid Habib and him. He's running the show. I agree with you. But right now, May 5th, Memorial Day weekend, it's Khalid Habib and him. Habib. Habib.
Starting point is 02:29:09 Say it. Habib. Give Ferguson Cerrone. Let's have some fun. Give Ferguson Cerrone. Let's have some fucking fun. Cerrone is not fighting 55 again. I didn't say that, but we're all mixing weights right now. Did we not say that before?
Starting point is 02:29:25 No. They want to put Aldo against Khabib. But no, Aldo's thinking about moving up anyway. Moving up anyway, so who gives a fuck? It seems like he's kind of chasing, like a chess move. Yes, he's chasing. He's chasing. He wants that Conor fight.
Starting point is 02:29:35 He wants that fight. That's what everybody wants to see again, whatever the fucking order is. But the order that they're trying to put together is the order that I don't want to see. Because they have to sell pay-per-views, Joey. They're going to do this, okay? This is the route, you fucks. The route they want to do is they're going to bring him back against fucking the black dude at 170. That's the fight.
Starting point is 02:29:57 Tyron Woodley? That's already been made at the thing. That's going to come together. Slow the fuck down. Watch it. Watch it. But we just said that Woodley's going to fight Bisping in a catchweight fight. I know. I know. I know. That's all great. They're going to come together Slow the fuck down Watch it Watch it But we just said that Woodley's going to fight Bisping In a catchweight fight
Starting point is 02:30:06 I know I know That's all great They're going to fight Watch You think that Tyron Woodley Is going to fight Tyron Woodley That was already established
Starting point is 02:30:13 In New York Tyron Woodley Tyron Tyron Woodley Is already going to Fucking fight him Okay That's the first fight
Starting point is 02:30:19 Then they're going to try That's the fight They're going to put there At 170 maybe in May What happens to Khabib Then they're going to This is what So you think he's going going to put there at 170 maybe in May. What happens to Khabib? Then they're going to, this is what. So you think he's going to go to 170 and fight for the title? This isn't my fucking decision.
Starting point is 02:30:29 This isn't my decision. This is beyond you. This is beyond me. How do you know this? Because I've already seen the setup at the fucking New York. I worked for the UFC. Were you fucking blind because you didn't see what I see? But I talked to them.
Starting point is 02:30:38 I know you talked to them. But I talked to them. But I'm talking to the people behind the scenes. You didn't know until they fucking zoned it. I did at the end. I understand. But the problem is here that the seed was already planted in New York. It was already planted.
Starting point is 02:30:52 None of you motherfuckers saw it. What are you guys watching? What seed? The seed of him talking back and forth with Tyron Woodley. Okay, that's the fucking seed. Jesus Christ. That's the fucking seed. It smells like a zoo in here.
Starting point is 02:31:04 He's going to look at Call of Duty That's the fucking seed. It smells like a zoo in here. He's gonna look at Khalid B, already at the press conference. Khalid B again. Already Khabib. He said he doesn't fight enough. Okay, what's going on here? That's Conor at Wayne's talking shit to him. That's the seed, you dumb fucks.
Starting point is 02:31:19 That's the seed. What's happening here? What is he saying? He's just talking shit to him. Can we hear what he said? I don't think so. It went on. It's just Connor talking shit. And then Tyron said some shit. He might have just said, hey. Did it come out?
Starting point is 02:31:31 Stop. That's what he said. He said something like, you're lucky I don't come to 70. Hold on. Watch. Look at him trying to be cute with him. See? Hey, bro.
Starting point is 02:31:42 It got set up right there. Okay, so that's the next fucking fight, guys. It's Conor saying we can do it at 70. We can do it at 70. Damn, Jolie. What is that shit? You people don't see dick because you see what you want to fucking see. That's the next fight.
Starting point is 02:31:56 He already planted the fucking seed. He's not going to fight Tyron. He's going to fight Tyron and kill more time for Collarbeam like they threw Dennis Seaver on him when Frankie Edgar was fucking lurking. When Frankie Edgar was working, they threw Dennis Seaver on him. Oh, well, Dennis Seaver's available. Dennis Seaver's available. Look at the color of his skin. Look how red he gets.
Starting point is 02:32:18 Look how red he gets. Hey, he's talking some truth here. It's in between fucking. He doesn't want to fight Ferguson. He's not going to fight Tony Ferguson. Why not? It's Netflix between fucking... He doesn't want to fight Ferguson. He's not going to fight Tony Ferguson. Why not? It's too much hype and Tony Ferguson don't give a fuck. He's a barbarian.
Starting point is 02:32:32 Who fucking farted? That is a horrible fart. That was me. It's a tremendous fart. It's a tremendous fart. It smells like a zoo up in this bitch. Oh, look at this. They are going at it.
Starting point is 02:32:40 Don't fucking tell me, guys. Let's get some volume on that. Can we get volume on that? Back there. Let me hear this. Go all the way back. Way back. They are going. Don't fucking tell me, guys. Let's get some volume on that. Can we get volume on that? Back there. Let me hear this. Go all the way back. Way back. Here we go.
Starting point is 02:32:49 Crank it up. He's setting it up. She's setting up the 170 belt. There's eight guys there, guys. You're like a woman with that phone whoa because it's crazy guys he's calling him out there's 10 guys look how drained tyron looks yeah let's hear it rewind it again rewind that rewind that shh what's up
Starting point is 02:33:23 you hear that lady you just said what's up terrified? He just said, what's up? And he stared at him. Connor said, what's up? He said, not much. But meanwhile, you look at Tyron. Tyron looks so drained there when he made that weight. It's like right after he made the weight. I'll tell you what's crazy.
Starting point is 02:33:34 I like Connor's chances in that fight. He's going to go for three fucking bouts, guys. How crazy is that? I can't believe nobody ever saw this shit. He doesn't want, he's not going to fight Ferguson because it's a fucking, it's a, Aerosmith, Guns N, it's a Aerosmith. Guns N' Roses was Aerosmith on steroids. And Tony Ferguson is Little Diaz with fucking elk blood in him.
Starting point is 02:33:56 You understand me? He don't want that kid. He don't want Tony Ferguson. He don't want Tony Ferguson. And Dana. It's not a draw for him, Joey. Uncle John, Uncle Bobby Dana is not gonna let
Starting point is 02:34:07 His nephew fight Are you kidding? Conor vs. Tony is not a draw? It's not a draw for Conor That's a big fucking fight Tony vs. Conor Even Tony vs. Khabib That's a huge fight
Starting point is 02:34:22 Why do you think they're making it, Eddie? You tell me. Why do you think they're making it? It's not going to sell. And I love these guys. Don't get me wrong. I'm not clowning your guy. But as far as the average consumer buying a pay-per-view, that's not a sell.
Starting point is 02:34:36 It's just not. Hell yeah, it is. I disagree. Conor fighting anybody is a sale. Conor fighting a top challenger is always a sale. And Tony Ferguson. But Tony Ferguson isor fighting a top challenger is always a sale. And Tony Ferguson. But Tony Ferguson is most certainly a top challenger. When Nate Diaz fought Conor for the first time, it was a giant fight because Nate Diaz had a name.
Starting point is 02:34:54 And he's a bigger name than Tony, arguably, for sure. Not even close. Much bigger now after he beat him. Before, the Diaz brothers and Tony? Wasn't the same as it is now. It's a different thing now. It's a different thing now. It's a different thing now. But he had it because of Nick, and Nick had all the Strikeforce success, Elite XC success.
Starting point is 02:35:15 You know, all that. There's a lot of TV time there. Nate was the ultimate fighter winner. Nate. And then on top of that, Nick had just got done beating Anderson, or fighting Anderson, rather. And, you know, Nick is like a pretty well-known figure, right? His brother. The Diaz brothers are, like...
Starting point is 02:35:30 So that's a different level. But having him take that fight on short notice, too... But Conor was the main draw, is my point. Conor's the main draw. And I agree. But this is why Conor's not taking it, because I agree, he's the main draw. If you're Conor and you're his manager, are you going, let's fight Tony, who's a tough fucking matchup,
Starting point is 02:35:48 but he's not as big as the name as a guy like Nate Diaz at 55, who we're going to make more money, maybe not as tough as a fight, bigger name. So they're doing it from a business point. That's why he's not fighting Tony. That's why he's not fighting Khabib. Tony's a tough fight, horrible fight for him. They're going to do a Russia card. And when they do a Russia card, they want to do a Russia card with Conor.
Starting point is 02:36:08 Or with Khabib, rather. So when they do a Russia card with Khabib, it's most likely going to be for a title. I would imagine. It's for a title. It all depends if Conor accepts it. Remember, Conor has all the power. It might be Tony, and it might be for an interim. And apparently they offered it to Tony, and Tony said that he wanted to make the same amount of money that Habib makes.
Starting point is 02:36:25 Which is perfectly fine. It's perfectly fine. But they said, nope, you've got a contract, you've got to honor your contract. That's at least how it's been explained. Yes, that's how it's been explained. They go, well, you signed these contracts, you've got to honor the contract.
Starting point is 02:36:38 Yeah. But that only works one way. That only works for the UFC, because they don't honor all the contracts, do they? Right. What do you mean? If it works for them. They can cut them.
Starting point is 02:36:46 You have a six fight contract, you've lost two, and it's boring, you're cut. It's in the contract that you can get cut. If it wasn't in the contract, there's guys who have fought and they've fought out
Starting point is 02:36:54 their entire contract. For sure. But I'm just saying, it's very one-sided. Remember in the early days when Pedro Erizo had this giant contract because they thought
Starting point is 02:37:01 that Pedro was going to be the heavyweight champ. And so they were giving him like undercard fights. He was making a quarter of a million dollars. Yeah. Yeah. It's tricky, man, because I get the idea that they would want to protect Conor, you know,
Starting point is 02:37:13 and really set up the big money fights, especially now because he's the biggest guy. But then you've got Conor, who's kind of fucking crazy. And he's like the way he has John down, Tyron Woodley. I don't think it's Conor doing it. I think from a business standpoint, they're going, what's the biggest fight? Let's say you have three fights left. Who are the three biggest names we can fight to make this happen so you stay
Starting point is 02:37:34 undefeated and make the most money? The biggest thing, he might not be undefeated. I mean, he's definitely not undefeated now, right? But the biggest thing is the Woodley fight because that's a 1-7. That's 1-7. That's a third belt, guys. That's a fight. If you didn't see it, shame on you. Does the UFC give him that much control? Shame on you motherfuckers if you didn't see it.
Starting point is 02:37:48 Number two, listen, I'm not saying that Khabib is going to beat Khan, especially after I see him take the punch from Michael Khan. I'm not saying these things. Michael Khan. Michael Johnson. But the fight is Khabib. And then the next fight has to be Ferguson if he beats him. That's the way it is where I come from.
Starting point is 02:38:03 But Ferguson and Khabib can't wait. Ferguson needs a fight in the next four or five months. Khabib needs a fight in the next fucking two, three months. Khabib said he'll fight in Brooklyn. I told you Ferguson will fight in Brooklyn. When you interviewed him, and he put the hat on your fucking head,
Starting point is 02:38:21 he said he'll fight in Brooklyn. He put the hat on my head every time I've been around. I know, it's great. I fucking love it. And you don't say dick to him. No, he looks at me. He looks at me. He shows me the hat. I give him the nod.
Starting point is 02:38:29 I'm like, yeah, I'll put that on. I love it. Put the fucking hat on. I like that hat. Now, Eddie, me as a fan, the number one fight I want to see is Tony versus Khabib. That's the fight. That's a fight, too. There's not a better matchup that can be made in the UFC.
Starting point is 02:38:42 I don't know about that. I like Tony versus Conor. I even like Habib versus Conor. Yeah, I like them both. I like any of those. Any of those. I like Conor versus Woodley. I like that fight, too.
Starting point is 02:38:52 That's the fight, guys. That's the next money fight. But he's going to eventually- I don't think the UFC gives them enough power to do that. They're not going to let him get that much control. You just said Conor has all the power. Yeah, he's got all the power. Well, here's the thing about Woodley.
Starting point is 02:39:04 I do. You think they can give him more power? Woodley loses to Bisping. has all the power. Yeah, he's got all the power. Well, here's the thing about Woodley. Woodley loses to Bisping. If he loses this catchweight fight, he still keeps that 170 pound strap. That's if that catchweight fight happens. That's just smoke up your ass. What? No, he can't hold up two divisions. It's Tyron against my boy Conor McGregor.
Starting point is 02:39:18 I got to go with Joey on this one. I'm telling you, they planted the thing. He was going after Tyron. They planted the seed right there. When does that ever happen? I've been backstage at UFC all the goddamn time. That shit don't happen. Like, dudes aren't just fucking nutting up on people.
Starting point is 02:39:31 And they're going to push him away from the Russian and Ferguson for as long as they can. I mean, but specifically, we got video of him. We can't talk over each other. No, they'll do the Nassau thing when they go to interview him. They die in car accidents and shit. But that's the fight, guys. That's the fight right there that everybody wants to see right off the bat. I love to see Conor and Khabib.
Starting point is 02:39:49 I love to see Ferguson and Khabib. But they're not going to do that right off the bat. They're going to hope that they fall off a cliff or a plane goes down. Let's give them the money fight, which is 170. Can he get the third belt? Here's the thing. If he does lose, if he goes up to 10, he's tiring. Nothing happens. Nothing happens.
Starting point is 02:40:06 It's risk-free. It's risk-free. Same thing with that first Nate Diaz fight. Okay. Remember who runs this show. What do you do with Tony and Khabib? They go to Bellator. No.
Starting point is 02:40:16 They're going to get pissed off. They're going to say, fuck you, UFC. We can't take this no more. You're hiding this kid from us. Here's another thing. At Bellator, there's still one guy left that I don't know where his contract's at, but Michael Chandler is a motherfucker. He is a motherfucker.
Starting point is 02:40:31 Remember, he beat Eddie Alvarez, who was the champ at 155. And did you see we did that pit bull guy and starched him with one punch? Starched him. Dude, Michael Chandler is legit as fuck. How many fights does he have left, though? I don't know. It's interesting. He was just at the UFC the other day.
Starting point is 02:40:44 That's why I'm saying it. He was in the front row. I was talking to him. I didn't talk to him about the fight. He's a bad motherfucker. I'll tell you another guy, Lance Palmer from Team Alpha Man, who's World Series of whatever. He has one fight left, and after that, he's going straight to the UFC. Good luck beating that motherfucker. What weight is he?
Starting point is 02:40:59 45. Can wrestle his paws off. Interesting. There's a lot of talent coming up, man. A lot of talent coming up. Then you have some guys going to Bellator like that. Lorenz Larkin, who's a monster. Is he going to go to Bellator?
Starting point is 02:41:12 They're talking to him. He's a free agent. I hope he stays in the UFC. I really do. Is Bellator paying pretty good? Yes. They have to. They have to.
Starting point is 02:41:21 That's how people are going to get over there. Roy McDonald, Lorenz Larkin. I don't know if Lorenz is on there yet, but Lorenz, the way he put away Neil Magny, I was like, don't go anywhere, man. Stick around. You don't have to rebut those things. Lorenz beat Robbie Lawler. Lorenz is legit as fuck.
Starting point is 02:41:39 He's a nightmare. He's a dangerous striker. He's one of the best strikers in that 170-pound division and fought a good chunk of his career at 185. 170, he's a dangerous striker. He's one of the best strikers in that 170-pound division and fought a good chunk of his career at 185. 170, he's a big fella, and he's got ridiculous kicks. He throws that goddamn oblique kick to the body better than anybody I've ever seen. Pull up the fight, Lorenz Larkin versus Neil Magny. Neil Magny, who is a tough fucking dude, didn't even have a chance in that fight.
Starting point is 02:42:04 He got starched. He beat Johnny Hendricks. The judges helped, He just beat Johnny Hendricks. He didn't even have a chance in that fight. He got starched. He beat Johnny Hendricks. The judges helped, but he beat Johnny Hendricks. I had Neil winning one and three in that. I think he could have been conceivably won because of having him in that triangle in the third, but the first round was so loose. It just didn't look dangerous to me.
Starting point is 02:42:20 That was like a legit loose triangle. But he still did more than Johnny. It didn't look loose to me. I disagree with that. I'm also biased as fuck. You might be right. I have to look at it again, but I saw some space. I saw some space, and I think the arm was tucked in enough where I don't think Johnny
Starting point is 02:42:34 was in real trouble, but he was definitely stuck. The thing about those judges, though, they don't know shit. So they see him in danger, they're giving him a nap. He was definitely in some serious motherfucking danger. Anytime you're caught with one arm in and one arm out and the shit is singed, you're in fucking trouble. It's almost like his legs are so long that he gives you a little extra space because his legs are so long. No, the problem was he started throwing elbows.
Starting point is 02:43:01 And when that does, his head's right there. It pushes him out. That's what happens. The more you hit him. So it's like you've got to land a couple. Farting up a storm. It's like you've got to land a couple elbows and then grab the wrist and pull them back in. You've got to constantly pull them back in, throw a couple.
Starting point is 02:43:16 Because they're like this. When you throw elbows, you're pushing them out of your shit. Remember when Anderson stopped Travis Luter? That's how he got him. Locked him up in a triangle. Travis Luter didn't miss weight? Yeah. Could there have been a more frustrating weight cut? He didn't just miss weight, dude. He was the
Starting point is 02:43:29 closest I've ever seen where it looked like the guy was dead. Watch this fight. Here's Lorenz. Lorenz is a slick striker, but watch this oblique kick to the body. A lot of guys are throwing this to the leg, but Lorenz throws it to the body, and he switches stances a lot, but the way he lands it,
Starting point is 02:43:45 he launches you through the air with it. So he hits him with that low kick, low kick on the bottom of the calf, like real low. Is it going to happen right now? It's going to happen. I mean, this is just the fight itself. But the way he throws it is really unusual, man, because he'll be like from here, like right there.
Starting point is 02:44:02 That's it. Yeah. See that? Is that the one? Yeah, that's exactly it. That was a rear push kick. No, like right there. Right there? That's it. Yeah. See that? Sparta kick the one. Is that the one? Yeah, that's exactly it. That was a rear push kick. No, no, no. Watch, watch. It's an oblique kick.
Starting point is 02:44:10 That's not Verdun versus Edmund kick. See that? This is what it's like. No, no, no. No, it's not. It's like this. He's doing this. Watch it again.
Starting point is 02:44:16 Do it again. Watch it again. Back it up again. Slow motion. Watch this. Just watch it. Just watch it. Trust me.
Starting point is 02:44:22 I know what the kick is. Watch how he does it. Watch where his heel is. His toes are pointing. See? His toes are kind of pointing at the outside. That fucks Neil up, too. Oh, dude.
Starting point is 02:44:31 I'll show you on a bag. It's a devastating kick. Did you hear Neil talk about that fight? He goes, I literally just overlooked the guy. He doesn't get a lot of hype, but he definitely should. What? You overlooked Larkin? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:44:40 He goes, I don't know. He doesn't get a lot of hype. We thought it was going to be an easier fight than it was. Well, he just got off a beat in Hector Lombard. He might have been feeling his oats. Yeah, exactly. But Larkin is a totally different animal. Oh my God, he's tough. One of the most technical and capable
Starting point is 02:44:56 guys in the division when it comes to striking. Look at that. See it again. Watch it again. His wrestling is ridiculous too. His foot is not... He's hitting with the heel. Like this? It's like this. This is what he's too. See, his foot is not. He's hitting with the heel. Like this? It's like this. This is what he's doing.
Starting point is 02:45:07 See how he does that there? Yeah. Dude, come on, son. Who kicks like that? That shit's embarrassing if you kneel, too. Back that up again. Back that up again. Look at the extension he gets.
Starting point is 02:45:16 Watch this. Watch how he throws this kick. This is a beautiful kick, man. He sets it up with that and then steps in. Bam! Spartan style, son. Dude, it's a beautiful kick, man. He sets it up with that and then steps in. Bam! Spartan style, son. Dude, it's a weird kick because a lot of guys don't do it the way he does it. He's stomping.
Starting point is 02:45:32 And John does it all the time. But turning the heel out. Yep, but John does it to the legs. And Holly did it a lot to Ronda. Holly did it to Ronda. He stomped him but turning his heel in instead of out, right? Exactly. It's like you step forward and you do this.
Starting point is 02:45:45 Yes. And it's got a lot of power. Condor to do it. All the Jackson boys do it. Next time you're in front of a bag, I'll show you. A new kick is born in the UFC. No, no. It's not a new, he didn't invent it, but I'm just saying it.
Starting point is 02:45:54 Winklejohn, they've been doing it forever, Jackson boys. People have been doing it forever, but they've been doing it to the leg. Not to this degree, though. He fucking Sparta kicks his ass. Lorenz is on another level. He just is. And the only loss that he has inside the octagon at 170 is against Tumanov, and that was a super close fight.
Starting point is 02:46:08 And he's not the only guy to ever throw it exactly like that? Well, he's one of the only guys I've ever seen throw it to the body. And knock someone down. And the way he throws it to the body is just massive power. And speed. The way he chambers his legs and then gets that kick to launch straight in a straight line practice Is that right guys are doing now especially with this success? Okay, at league you have to see a thousand times before people make it part of their daily routine
Starting point is 02:46:34 But he's fucking up that so many strikes again Lorenz flies under the radar like he wants more Publicity again. He did it. I mean does it from here to the body, which is so crazy. Can you imagine him versus Roy McDonald in Bellator? I could, but I can imagine him fighting for the title against Woodley, too. I want to see him at 170 in the UFC. I'm selfish. What's his record of the last three fights?
Starting point is 02:46:58 He only lost to Tumanoff, and it was a razor-close decision. Was that recent? That was like two or three fights ago, and he's won all the other ones. He's a monster. So he's on a win streak. Yeah, but this is the big win because Magny's a top contender, and he beat the fuck out of Magny. I mean, Magny was never in this fight.
Starting point is 02:47:13 This fight was like he worked him, man. Yeah, Magny's really only been outclassed in this Larkin fight, and then he got outclassed when he fought Damian Maia. Larkin throws a lot of weird shit, too, man. He'll throw like wheel kicks to the thigh. Dude, he came into Reign and everyone was like, we don't know what the fuck to do. Really? There's no, me and Pat couldn't get him down. His takedown offense was ridiculous. His striking was unconventional.
Starting point is 02:47:34 He was a nightmare. Yeah, he's got a, I think a Kung Fu background. I think that's where he started his career, but you see like that low leg kick, man? He likes, he attacks like below the knee. Look at him just eating Neal up. He's found a sweet spot with those oblique kicks. Look at this takedown
Starting point is 02:47:49 defense, too. It's speed. Look, Magni pulls guard. Yeah, I bet it's interesting being a guy of his caliber going, God, do I go to Bellator where I make more money or do I stay in the UFC where I could actually be a UFC champion? You know the notoriety that comes with that. It's a tough fucking... You know what I'm'm saying the problem is you could go to Bellator
Starting point is 02:48:07 and you could chew away years of your career and no one will know who you are you know look at Diego Lima you know or Douglas Lima I know I'm just kidding you know no exactly no Lima's a world look at Michael Chandler yeah Michael Chandler's it I mean he's better than Eddie Alvarez beat Eddie Alvarez yeah you walk down the street yeah but still I mean you he's better than Eddie Alvarez. Beat Eddie Alvarez. But Eddie beat him, too. Yeah, but still. I mean, you talk about a guy of that caliber. He walks down the street, goes into 7-Eleven.
Starting point is 02:48:33 People are like, what are you, CrossFit? They don't know who he is. Yeah, what happened to your ears, bro? Where if he was in the UFC, everyone knows who he is. Yeah, no, you're right. It's not there yet. I wish it was. They can get there, though.
Starting point is 02:48:43 I don't know, man. They don't have pay-per-view. They don't have those. Why do you need pay-per-view? They're on Spike TV. It's not the same. It's Viacom. I agree, but they've tried one pay-per-view.
Starting point is 02:48:55 It was a terrible disaster. What was the pay-per-view they did? Rampage. Remember? I do remember. Yeah, I mean, it didn't work. Nobody bought it. There's a difference. But their ratings on regular cable are good, just as good as the UFC's.
Starting point is 02:49:09 What's weird is their ratings on regular cable still don't translate into stardom. It's very strange. Well, it's because I think what they've been doing is they've been getting the older guys from the UFC where people are like, oh, yeah, he's kind of over the hill. Where now they have a guy like Roy McDonald. Right. Who's young and he can he's kind of over the hill. Where now they have a guy like Rory McDonald. Right. Who's young and he can be that kind of world class athlete. But the UFC shows a replay of Wonderboy fucking up Rory. That's what they show over and over and over again.
Starting point is 02:49:34 And then they show Robbie Lawler knocking out Rory. And they'll just show it over and over again in their highlights. True. Until everybody knows Rory left and went over there. Look, I wish Rory nothing but the best. Yeah. Until Bellator gets through like a Michael Venom page. Right. Until everybody knows Rory left and went over there. Look, I wish Rory nothing but the best. Until Bellator gets through like a Michael Venom Page. Let's say he just, if they get one superstar like a John Jones who starred with them,
Starting point is 02:49:53 then you're going to start seeing some changes. But Page got kind of exposed in his last fight. What happened? Went the distance. Didn't knock the guy out. Didn't really look that good. I'm not saying he's the answer. I'm saying they need a type of guy. I forget who he fought.
Starting point is 02:50:04 Because the Chael Sonnen versus Tito Ortiz, it'll do record-breaking. It's going to kill number-wise because we know who those guys are. You think so? But they're both older. Oh, it's going to sell for sure. Well, it's not selling. It's going to be on regular TV, right? It's not pay-per-view.
Starting point is 02:50:16 Well, no, no. I'm going to say it's going to sell ticket-wise at the Forum. Okay. Because remember that Brooklyn card was supposed to be at the same time as that Bellator card. UFC left. Because they didn't have a headliner for that, so they left Anaheim. Remember that? Same night?
Starting point is 02:50:32 Is that where it was? Oh, well, that's the Brooklyn card? They moved that card to Brooklyn? Yep. That's what happened? Yep. Oh, that's interesting. The Brooklyn card does look like they're still working on it, though.
Starting point is 02:50:42 I'm hoping they could pull that together. It's just my room, because Tito Chael, and we got fucking Holly this. So that's the same weekend? Yep. So the Tito fight is the same weekend as Jermaine Durand-Demayne? No, I think they switched it, but it was the same as Bellator. Bellator is January 21st on Spike. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 02:50:59 So February. Yeah, they switched it to that February. Now, when is Verdum Dos Santos? Did we schedule that? No. Well, Verdum was supposed to fight Kane, but Kane got pulled off the card because he fucked up, man. He did an interview and said that he needed surgery after the fight. And they're like, what?
Starting point is 02:51:15 So, you know, Bob Baker from the Nevada State Athletic Commission, who does a fucking awesome job, he is not going to let you fight if you go around telling people that you need surgery. Too much of a liability. Yeah, it's a liability. It's a liability. It's just business 101, Cain. And you just can't do it. He fucked up. He probably didn't think about it.
Starting point is 02:51:30 He just thought, look, I'm just going to show everybody how tough I am and go through it anyway, which you can do. See, the thing is, his back is structurally sound. The doctors cleared him. So if he did, like he thought in his mind, even though he does need to get the pathways cleared out, he's got some sort of stenosis where the pathways to the nerves, it's irritating his nerves, but he can get a cortisone shot. Now, if he gets a cortisone shot, then he won't feel it.
Starting point is 02:51:53 He can go through the fight structurally. He's fine. It's not like he's compromised, like he's got a weak joint. So it's just a little bit of pain. He goes through it. Then after the fight, he can get the surgery. That's what his doctor said, so that's what he was saying. He just didn't take into consideration that whenever
Starting point is 02:52:06 you say, two things happen. First of all, the betting line changes. You go and tell everybody you need surgery after the fight. So that gets squirrely, especially with Nevada. They have to figure out how they put this line up. And second of all, there's that liability thing. Huge liability. And then did you see
Starting point is 02:52:21 they did offer the fight of Junior Dos Santos, and then Verdum came out and started calling Junior Dos Santos gay. Yeah, what's that about? He was like, just come out of the closet. He said, nothing against homosexuals, but everyone knows you're gay. Damn, son. Did he say that? Yeah, went hard in the pain at JDS.
Starting point is 02:52:36 Wow. That's rough. That's super rough. And DC Johnson, that's not on the horizon anytime soon. DC's just getting back to training on Monday. DC had a a torn muscle and he decided to opt for surgery right? Yeah So he went for surgery on that right yet surgery's just getting back to training but who knows how long he's out They got John Jones his suspensions up in July and then rumble said I'm the only thing I'm doing is fighting for a title I'll wait a year if I have to.
Starting point is 02:53:06 But the UFC's like, no, son, you're going to fight Jon Jones for an interim title. That's what I think's going to happen if DC's not ready. So Jon Jones comes back in July. I think his suspension is up right when that July 4th weekend card comes up. Boom, boom, boom. So he'll be probably the headliner for that.
Starting point is 02:53:25 That's a tough go, because he had some ring rust when he fought OSP. Yep. Let's not get it twisted. Anthony Rumble Johnson, you don't get any mistakes with that gentleman. Well, and also, he had ring rust before the OSP fight, and now it's another year off.
Starting point is 02:53:38 That's a long... It's a long time off. To your point with Ronda, Ronda had 411 days off. Ring rust is real, man. I don't give a fuck what people say. And not only is it real, but you're not getting warm-up fights. She's not fighting Liz Karmouche.
Starting point is 02:53:51 You're fighting fucking this killer who just fought at UFC 200. Who's ready to go. No warm-ups. What do you think about BJ Yair? That's going to be crazy. Yair is the future. Scary. Yair Rodriguez, he's so dynamic, man.
Starting point is 02:54:07 It's fun to watch. BJ's at Jackson's, right? Mm-hmm. Man. That's what everyone was saying. Like, oh, BJ needs a real camp. If BJ went to Jackson's or if BJ went here, AKA or whatever, and he actually listened and he did it.
Starting point is 02:54:22 A little too late, but yeah. It's weird that it's- It's never too late. Weird, that's not true, It's weird that it's weird. It's never too late. If he's in the right camp and that's BJ Penn, it's never too late. How did he lose all that weight? Although Yair is a bad motherfucker. But BJ, you know, with the right camp, just like everybody said, if he had the right camp, he's got the right camp now.
Starting point is 02:54:38 Yeah, but what happened to his body where he's going to 45? Like, why is he going to 45? Especially as you get older. It's tougher to cut. That was always his real weight. He was doing jiu-jitsu at 147. That was always his weight. Right, but wasn't he like 12? Yeah, he was young as fuck.
Starting point is 02:54:53 He won the world's, he won the black belt world's at 147. He fought Machida for God's sakes. He's fine. He's a legend. He's crazy. He's an animal. I never root against BJ. It's just goddamn disrespectful. Like, he's fine. He's a legend. He's crazy. I never root against BJ. It's just goddamn. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:55:07 Unfortunately, Yair is fucked. That's a nightmare opponent for BJ. Yair's the future man. But this is the best BJ we're going to see. This is the best one. That's a strong statement at his age, sir. No, no. When I meant the best possible we can see BJ.
Starting point is 02:55:21 Yeah. That's what I'm saying. We're going to see him. He has a great camp. He's probably in shape He's sticking to it Jack's not fucking around with BJ Are you kidding?
Starting point is 02:55:28 You can't You get ate up Yeah He's 38 years old though And that's 38 MMA years And 38 years old After a war How good is Yair's Jiu Jitsu?
Starting point is 02:55:38 It's pretty god damn good It's dynamic and it's different He's a mad scrambler He'll fly to knee bars. Is he black belt level? I don't think so. I don't think he's black belt. He's brown belt level.
Starting point is 02:55:49 Yair Rodriguez, BJJ rank. Okay. I don't know. Yeah, find it, Jamie. But here's the thing about Yair, the distance. He keeps that kicking distance. He's fucking so lethal. He's quick.
Starting point is 02:56:02 So lethal on the outside. That's going to be the problem for BJ is the quickness and the youthfulness. If BJ stands with him, yeah, the odds are not in his favor. But if BJ just decides to get in that clinch and take him down. Squeeze him out. And jump on his neck, I think that's the best route. Not to stand. 100%.
Starting point is 02:56:18 Vintage BJ. He's got to take Rodriguez down. I didn't like BJ versus Lamas. What the fuck? It's a legend, man. Don't give me Cardo Lamas. Cardo Lamas is a bad Rodriguez. I didn't like BJ versus Lamas. What the fuck? It's a legend, man. Don't give him Ricardo Lamas. Ricardo Lamas is a bad motherfucker. I know.
Starting point is 02:56:29 So is Yair, but Ricardo Lamas is going to hurt you. I didn't like that. You don't think Yair is going to hurt you? Not the same way Ricardo is. Jesus, dude. Did you see the touchy-feely fight when he launched that fucking flying roundhouse kick to his jaw and flattened him? Those are good points.
Starting point is 02:56:43 Yeah. I didn't like the Lamas fight. I think they're both equally scary. The thing about Lamas is Lamas has more experience against world-class competition. Went five rounds with Aldo and was beating Aldo in the fifth round. And good luck taking Lamas down. He's on top of him, ground and pounding him. He's got a nasty guillotine, too, where he guillotined Bermudez, cracked him with a punch,
Starting point is 02:57:03 and then snuck in that tight arm-in guillotine. He's very good. Lamas is one of the best guys, but he's also 34, 35. He doesn't do anything for BJ in that fight. And Lamas is such a badass and he's so skilled. That doesn't do much for BJ. At least a year if he wins, he's young, that's a huge feather in his cap. That makes more sense.
Starting point is 02:57:23 I guess, but I think if BJ beat Lamas, it was a big feather in his cap. It's like, Jesus, he beat a top 10 contender. He's back. He hasn't fought forever. To us. What do you mean to anybody else? Well, the only thing about Yair is that Yair won the Ultimate Fighter. He won the Latin America Ultimate Fighter.
Starting point is 02:57:39 True. Yair's a motherfucker, dude. He's a motherfucker. He really is. People hate when we say that, by the way. Stop calling people motherfuckers. That's what you guys say. That's our lingo, for God's sake.
Starting point is 02:57:49 He's a beast. He's a motherfucker. He's a beast. Bad motherfucker. You guys need more adjectives. You need more adverbs, too. Talk like me and my friends. There's a lot of goddamn good fights on the horizon.
Starting point is 02:58:04 There's a lot of potential fights. If you the horizon There's a lot of Potential fights If you're Wonderboy Wouldn't you be pissed At all this Woodley talk About Woodley fighting Anybody else other than Wonderboy No one's even
Starting point is 02:58:11 Talking about Wonderboy Yeah they forgot He's alive Wonderboy needs to Start talking shit To Conor I'll tell you what I'd watch Wonderboy
Starting point is 02:58:19 Versus your boy Tony Ferguson Yeah but they're Different weight classes Well I'm on Joey Diaz's train now. Fuck weight classes. Listen, Cowboy has fought at 155 and at 170.
Starting point is 02:58:30 The fight between him and Tony Henderson, you guys were talking before, I was seeing it. Explosions are going off in my head. That's a great fight. Tony Henderson or Ben Henderson? Well, your guy. Tony Henderson. I always get confused.
Starting point is 02:58:43 I did about 19 sprays. He's been taking them non-stop. How many sprays did you take? It's the Lord's Day. We got nowhere to be and nothing to do. What the fuck? Wow, that spray scares me. Oh, it's tremendous. I wrote them an email. They wrote me back. They're nice people. I gotta go up to the stop
Starting point is 02:59:00 and get some more from them. Some strong shit, huh? Listen, man. you guys are talking about we need $4 billion, we need fights. This is it. These are all the fights I'm going to have to do now. So you think they say fuck weight class and just make the biggest fights?
Starting point is 02:59:14 Not fuck weight classes. Everybody has to respect the weight classes, but go up if you want to go up. If you think you can run with it, run with it. You've got to convince Dana the same way Con Connor convinced Dana. Have some of them jombos. Have some of those if you're brave.
Starting point is 02:59:29 What are these? Exactly. I can't see without my glasses. Read them to me. Jombos. That's a fucking super powerful edible. It's a two-cookie-dough truffles. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:59:41 Hey, gluten-free, Joey. It's gluten-free. Get in there. I'm excited. Take care. Oh, my goodness. Now I can go's gluten-free. Get in there. I'm excited. Take it. Oh, my goodness. Now I can go hang out with my faggy friends. Hey, easy.
Starting point is 02:59:50 And hang out. Go find that guy who's going to suck your dick to them. Yeah. Take a smell of that. Organic. He makes them with honey. They're so good. How many?
Starting point is 03:00:00 It tastes good. What's the strength? Death. All the above. Read the strength of me, Bob. Straight to the end of the earth. For sure it doesn't stay on there. It tastes like dick. It tastes good. What's the strength? Death. All of the above. Read the strength of me, Bob. Straight to the end of the earth. I'm sure it doesn't say on there. It tastes like dick.
Starting point is 03:00:08 It tastes like dick? Why does it taste like dick? Too organic for you? Joey's used to that processed sugar. It doesn't say how much is in here. Exactly. He meant it as a compliment. They don't even want you to know.
Starting point is 03:00:19 It says eat a truffle when you need a boost of energy. Hmm. What kind of energy you got? I don't know about that. What does it say about milligrams of THC? It doesn't say energy. Hmm. What kind of energy do you got? I don't know about that. What does it say about milligrams of THC? It doesn't say it. Hmm.
Starting point is 03:00:27 Interesting. I feel like that's something you need to know. Yeah. Right? I feel like that's important on there. This one says 25 milligrams.
Starting point is 03:00:36 Maybe I gave you the wrong one. This is pretty light. 25 is not that bad for a guy like you. That's nothing. 25 milligrams. That's a waste of your time.
Starting point is 03:00:44 I ate 1,200 last week. God damn. This one's 100, but I think there's two of them in there. There's this new edible called Moon. So this is 200 if you eat the two of them. Listen, there's a thing called Moon. Okay? It's a chocolate bar. It's $10 fucking dollars. $10.
Starting point is 03:01:00 It's called Moon. I've eaten them twice. How long do you know me? A long time. 20 years. Both times the next day, I could not go to Jiu Jitsu. I didn't do much. How long do you know me? A long time. 20 years. Both times. The next day, I could not go to jiu-jitsu. I didn't do much. I didn't do much the next day. They're that strong?
Starting point is 03:01:10 What'd you do? I ate the whole bar. And then what happened? Dog, you got to see pictures of me. How many milligrams is it? 250, but they're lying to you. They're definitely lying to you, which I like. I like being lied to.
Starting point is 03:01:26 I don't want to know what I'm eating. Bro, I saw pictures of me. It's like I got hit by Nunes. Bullseye. There it is. That pocket fudge, that rocket fudge, that shit will fucking kill you. Here's the beauty of that.
Starting point is 03:01:38 You go into these places, and they have all these $40 edibles, and they have all these 10, you know. This is $10 fucking dollars. You eat a half of that thing and you'll be drooling. And I got a better one for you. I don't want to drool. Listen to me. I don't want to drool.
Starting point is 03:01:55 There's one called Cushy. They have 50 milligram, 100, and then they have Knockout. And the back, listen to me. It says it will activate in 60 minutes guaranteed. Here's the thing about this. Give it to Jamie. Jamie, it comes in a pushy punch. That's super potent.
Starting point is 03:02:14 The fucking Warriors, not the recovery one, but they've got one that is so fucking strong. I call it transmission fluid. Because when you open it up, it comes like a, you know,
Starting point is 03:02:26 you ever go eat breakfast, the butter packages? Yeah. You have to rip them open and stick a knife in there? Comes in one of those. And they chop it in fours for you. Okay?
Starting point is 03:02:34 Me, I'm a gavone, I ate the whole, but when you peel the top off and you smell it, it's like you're walking into a transmission shop. Like, that's exactly, where is it?
Starting point is 03:02:45 Not the hybrid. Not the ending. That's awful pussy. TKO. TKO, bitch. That's awful pussy. That's transmission fluid. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 03:02:54 Super potent gummy formula. Best for high tolerance users. That's high tolerance users. God. God. Oh, man. It's a weird time because it's all legal now. Now that it's legal, you're going to see what these dudes can do.
Starting point is 03:03:08 You know, because they're going to have to be held back, though, because I think there's regulations on the potency of edibles now. Is there? I think so. You just have to let people know what's in them. I think it's 10. 10. Yeah, so each one will be 10.
Starting point is 03:03:22 Like in Denver, they were selling these containers of 10. It was 100 milligrams, and they were these gumdrops, and each one of them was 10. They're pretty consistent, but not totally consistent. Like I ate one. I was like, yeah, that feels like 10. And then I ate another one that felt like 40 or 50. I was like, ooh, this one. They don't have the real numbers.
Starting point is 03:03:43 I'll bring that cushy to you, and I'll make you eat the whole thing, and you'll go, Joey, that's not 200 milligrams. They lie to us. That's the case often, though. I mean, like, it's hard to get real accurate testing. And then also, like, who's doing the actual making and blending? Making it, exact measurements. Well, tomorrow I pick up my shipment of anarchy edibles.
Starting point is 03:04:03 Those are my home run. My shipment. Every Monday. Those are my home run. My shipment. Oh, every Monday I meet him. Like a fucking pallet. I meet him every Monday before jiu-jitsu, about 10.45. He gives me 100, 200 milligrams, 100 red ones, and a couple brownies. I give the brownies away to my friends.
Starting point is 03:04:18 And I keep those for the podcast when I fly and shit like that. But then you get used to the same strain. It's like marijuana. If you smoke the same joint for three days, it's not going to get you as high as the first day because your tolerance builds to that strain. So I make some match, bitch. And the only ones that allow to miss the Uncle Joey's neighborhood are Cushy, the TKO, brilliant. Fucking brilliant.
Starting point is 03:04:41 But that new Rocket pocket That rocket chocolate That shit dog Twice I've eaten them already And I'm telling you The next day I get up I take the baby to school I ride a little bit
Starting point is 03:04:52 And by 10.30 There ain't nothing going on I gotta go right back to bed For four or five hours dog Fucked up the next day There's gonna be a time In our lifetimes Where they start passing
Starting point is 03:05:03 Medical psilocybin It's gonna happen where they start passing medical psilocybin. It's going to happen. And when they have medical psilocybin, eventually they're going to go with recreational psilocybin. And when they go with recreational psilocybin, we're going to see a different world. It's going to be a different fucking world. But the same benefits that you're seeing with marijuana, the difference being that marijuana, at least when you're smoking it, it's easier to regulate. The experience isn't so world-changing and dissolving. But we're going to have freedom.
Starting point is 03:05:29 It's not here yet, but it's here now for pot in a way that's never been before. Do you think once a big pharma goes 100% in on cannabis, what kind of things do you think they'll do to squeeze out the small guys? Because that, you know what I mean? They've already done it. They tried to do it in Ohio. They can make it, okay, now it's legal, but we're the only ones that could sell it. Well, that's what they did, Jamie.
Starting point is 03:05:53 You know what I mean? You can't sell it if you're on your own. What was that deal in Ohio, Jamie? That seems like what's going to happen eventually. The big businesses get involved. They're going to squeeze everybody out. They're going to pass regulations. Jamie?
Starting point is 03:06:04 Yeah, they were trying to lock down. I think it was like four companies that would have been able to grow, and no one else would have been able to grow or sell. I think it was in perpetuity, like forever. It just seems like that's what we're going to deal with. Cuts. People like a regular person. There's money involved.
Starting point is 03:06:19 Regular people, can they start their own cigarette companies? Exactly. Can they do that? Right. It's a good question. You can't get into the cigarette company? Exactly. Can they do that? Right. It's a good question. You can't get into the cigarette company? No. I don't know.
Starting point is 03:06:29 I don't know anything about it, but I don't hear about people making their own cigarettes. You make your own wine, though. You can make your own cigarettes if you buy your own tobacco and you can roll your own. But as far as going into large-scale production, yeah, you're probably right. The thing about the marijuana thing is you already know how easy it is to grow, you fucks. The fact that they try to lock it down and make it so only a few companies can grow it, make it legal, but only a few people can profit off it, that's crazy. And then they make it so goddamn cheap.
Starting point is 03:06:57 Growing it yourself and trying to sell it yourself just doesn't become an option anymore. People just say, fuck it. They're just going to get cheap-ass weed at the liquor store, at the gas station. They're just, after a generation or two, people forget it. It'll be like a connoisseur thing. You know that in the fucking 70s, 60 Minutes did a show one time, and they showed that already in the 70s, the cigarette companies already had farms set up. They were already working on the packaging.
Starting point is 03:07:26 Oh, yeah. In the 70s, they were already trying to legalize them. The cigarette companies were already in on it. Right now, if you don't think all these fucking cigarette companies are setting up that Kentucky. What is that weed from Kentucky that's really good? Kentucky, they have a weed in Kentucky. Like, Alaska has, like, Matt Luther Thunderfuck. Kentucky has, like, that Bluegrass.
Starting point is 03:07:46 Kentucky Bluegrass. I went up there once. Somebody brought me that weed. They're going to package all those. The same way they package Acapulco Gold. Remember that? You think there'll be a Marlboro Cannabis? Yeah, they're already getting involved.
Starting point is 03:07:58 I got a friend. We have a mutual friend. I won't say his name, but he's in the marijuana business. Brian Cowan? No, I wish. It'd be awesome. But he was saying that's the issue is that those big cigarette companies are buying up so much shit. They're making it hard for other people to get involved in.
Starting point is 03:08:14 Yeah, that's just the way it goes. Like other small businesses, yeah. They already have their hands in it for sure. Anytime there's something that's selling like hotcakes, eventually the small man gets cut out. Right? Yeah. That's the way it works. It happens a lot.
Starting point is 03:08:29 It certainly happens a lot. Whenever there's regulations where they can profit and they can use their influence and fuck over people that also could... The problem with pot is it's so goddamn easy to grow that if they don't do that, anybody could step in. But what they were trying to do in Ohio, lock it down for perpetuity forever, that these one companies could be the only ones. They're setting up monarchies. That's scary. That's coming, though.
Starting point is 03:08:55 We haven't heard the end of that shit. No, no, no. That's coming. Well, it's going to be interesting when Trump's the president now, see where they go with all this. Because that Jeff Sessions guy that he's bringing in, that guy hates pot. They're not going to let these hippies make millions of dollars. That's only going to last. These are going to be considered the good old days.
Starting point is 03:09:10 They're going to wish it was never legal. Who knows? We're going to find out. It's going to be interesting. Trump has said that he's going to leave it up to the states, but presidents always say shit that they don't do. I mean, Obama was going to close down Guantanamo Bay. That motherfucker's still open, eight years later.
Starting point is 03:09:26 He never even made an attempt at it. I think sometimes they say that stuff, they don't realize how much work goes into it, right? Well, I think they say that, and then they get into office, and then they get handed some dossiers and some fucking briefings, and they understand, like, what... People are like, this is why we haven't done this before.
Starting point is 03:09:41 Look, I know you were saying you were going to close down Guantanamo Bay because it helped your campaign, but we're going to get you in here and show you what the fuck's going on. I think all those guys, they didn't sit this before. Look, I know you were saying you're going to close down Guantanamo Bay because it helped your campaign, but we're going to get you in here and show you what the fuck's going on. I think all those guys, they didn't sit them down. They knew that shit way before. They knew what they were getting into. Maybe. It's the only reason they were allowed to rise so high.
Starting point is 03:09:56 I think they say a bunch of shit to get into office. They say whatever the fuck they want. No, no, for sure. They lie their ass off. Everything that comes out of Hillary's mouth. Do you watch House of Cards? It's so clear. It was like George W. Bush. Everything that George W. Bush lie their ass off. Like, everything that comes out of, like, Hillary's mouth. I mean, like. Do you watch House of Cards? It's so clear. It was like George W. Bush.
Starting point is 03:10:09 Like, everything that George W. Bush says when he talks. God damn it. We got into conspiracies. If your bullshit meter doesn't go off, right? Bro, he didn't even get to the part. Tell him about Edmund, the CIA. No, no, no, no. We were talking about it yesterday. Tell him about Edmund.
Starting point is 03:10:18 Edmund is the CIA, dog. I'm talking about Edmund. No, no, no, no. Maybe that's the key. So, let's end it. Let's do it. It's 8-10. This is a good fucking podcast. Love you, man. Happy New Year, no. Maybe that's the key. So, let's end it. Let's do it. It's 8-10. This is a good fucking podcast.
Starting point is 03:10:28 Love you, man. Happy New Year, everybody. Thank you, brother. Good to see you, man. I've seen you in a while. Love you, brother. Thank you. Good times, ladies and gentlemen.
Starting point is 03:10:34 We'll be back tomorrow with hashtag WhoIsFatWeek. Tom Segura and Burt Kreischer weigh in tomorrow at 11 a.m. They've been losing weight for months now, and Tom is writing hashtag Bert is fat. Bert is writing hashtag Tom is fat. Tom and Bert both started out at about 267 in that range, and now
Starting point is 03:10:55 they're fucking light. I can't wait to see. Tom looks fantastic. Tom's only been drinking water. That's it. He doesn't even drink soda. Shredded. Doesn't drink diet soda. Doesn't drink coffee anymore. He's just drinking water. Two of my favorite people. Super disciplined.
Starting point is 03:11:09 He looks fucking great. Did you see the videos of his face? No, I'm just saying. His fucking skin. Can we see that real quick before we go? Go to Tom Segura's Instagram before we leave, because he's got a real funny video. We'll leave it on this, and then we'll show one of Bert's to balance it out. But Tom Segura's Instagram, there's a video of him talking to the cameras
Starting point is 03:11:27 because Bert put this video of he ran for five and a half hours and lost like 3,000 fucking calories because Bert's a savage. I mean, he's a psychopath. Psycho. He's not the disciplined guy that Tom is. Tom's more slow and steady, wins the race. And Bert is like, I will run until I die. You know who he is right now? I went to his house for Christmas, see you on steady, wins the race. And Bert is like, I will run till I die. You know who he is right now?
Starting point is 03:11:45 I went to his house for Christmas, see you on Christmas Day with the kids. He's Bert Rudiger. Remember when he was outside the sauna? Yeah. And they were like, get in there. And he's like, I can't right now. He told me that. No, no, Tom.
Starting point is 03:11:59 Go to Tom Segura. He told me that the next Bert Kreischer is going on like a fucking, he's starving himself right now. God damn, look at that. Look how good Tom is. Wow. Play that. Hey, what's up? I saw old fat ass Bert's Instagram and all you fucking suckers believing it.
Starting point is 03:12:17 That's called playing catch up. Catch up. I've covered so many more miles than you. I'm not losing this beautiful, perfect fucking beard. Loser has to shave the beard. Keep running, man. You should run all night. I don't want to see Tom run a beard.
Starting point is 03:12:30 Run tomorrow. Run every day. I don't even have to fucking run anymore. I already have your ass beat. He looks great, man. Lost already. I'm ahead in the game. And I am watching a fucking bowl game.
Starting point is 03:12:43 Because I know I weigh less than you, you fat motherfucker. Look how good he looks, man. Donnie, that's great. Let's go to Bird here. I talked to Tom Skirr the other day, and I told him I'm turning on the nitrous oxide to this weight loss challenge. You want to see what the nitrous oxide is?
Starting point is 03:13:00 22 miles. God, Don. Five hours and 23 minutes. How many calories? 3,266 at an average of 4.1. This is that Mickey Mantle gene I always talk about. That long-strand DNA. That part of your brain that won't let you quit.
Starting point is 03:13:19 It forces you to go that extra 22 miles to make sure you don't lose your beard. We'll be weighing in live on YouTube on Joe Rogan's podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, January 2nd and January 3rd. Tune in to find out who loses their beard. I can tell you one thing. It won't be the guy killing it. It'll be the guy laying in bed watching a bowl game right now. Oh, Big Tommy Buns.
Starting point is 03:13:41 I hope you got a sponsorship from Dollar Shave Club because I'm coming, and I'm coming for your beard. I love those guys! It's hilarious, but honestly, it's going to be real interesting to see whether Bert's craziness can balance out Tom's discipline, because
Starting point is 03:13:59 Tom's been disciplined for a long time, man. I've been watching him. He does an hour of fucking cardio every day. Every day. He's not taking any days off. He's not drinking at all. He's not cheating at all. Bert's been drinking this whole time.
Starting point is 03:14:14 Bert's still drinking. You don't think he drank last night? It was New Year's Eve. You know he... Ah, a couple of cocktails. A couple of vodka sodas. And he just figures, I'll just find out what a vodka soda is, and I'll burn that off on the treadmill. Yeah, look at that.
