It's fucking tremendous.
It's of the gods.
It's tremendous.
He has a Hector Lombard sprawl.
You know how Hector Lombard slams a motherfucker down when he sprawls on you?
Hector Lombard has that.
Are we live?
We're live right now.
Hector Lombard has the scariest sprawl I've ever seen.
Like, when he snapped down Tim Boche, it was like, bitch!
It wasn't just a sprawl.
He's making you pay.
He's making you pay for even thinking about taking a sprawl.
You know who else had a crazy sprawl, actually?
He did, but he was ready to crack as soon as he got up.
Fedor was more wild in the transitions with wild punches and judo throws and shit.
Fedor was always wild in the transitions.
But I'm telling you, Tim Bosch and Anthony Rumble Johnson are two of the scariest fucking sprawls I've ever seen.
Just, stop the presses.
None of this is going on.
Who is he fighting next
I don't know
Hoguera
Hoguera
Hoguera
Hoguera
Hoguera
Little Nog
God damn
I want to see him fight Glover
Oh no no no
Let me tell you something
Little Nog is a very good boxer
In fact he fought for the Brazilian national team
He meddled
He meddled for the Brazilian national team
He's a bad motherfucker with his striking
That shut Rashad Evans down.
Like, if you watch that Rashad Evans fight, it wasn't the best fight for Rashad.
He was a little off in that fight.
But one of the reasons why he was a little off is because Garrett tagged him a couple times in that first round with clean shots.
He's a clean boxer.
It's a real crisp technique.
Nothing flashy, but he knows what the fuck he's doing, and he'll light you up.
You zig when you should have zagged, he'll crack you.
Him and his brother.
Fuck yeah.
Shit happens.
Awkward pause.
Someone's got a little personal experience to share.
Someone ought to sit this kid down.
He's better than his brother.
He's better than his brother as a boxer.
He's better than his brother as a boxer.
And he also submitted Dan Henderson.
They both submitted him, both brothers.
Isn't that crazy?
Little Nog and Big Nog, both got him on an armbar.
So he's better.
You think Little Nog is actually better than his brother?
No, I think he's got better boxing,
but his brother was definitely more successful as an MMA fighter.
But it's only slightly better.
When you talk about better, look, if Little Nog and his brother boxed,
either one of them could knock each other out.
It doesn't always play out that way.
Brendan and I were talking about this before the
podcast about no one catches a lucky rear
naked choke. Never. If two
black belts are going at it, the guy who taps the guy
is the better guy. Right. But if two
guys are slugging it out in the gym,
you fucking shit can happen, man.
I've seen guys who are
really good get lit up by a guy by guys not that good in the gym
I just get cracked with a shot for just you run into it a hard jab
Something it takes your legs out, but there are lucky shots and jiu-jitsu why I love jiu-jitsu is Dana
I was I wasn't like ah damn. I accidentally caught him in an ankle lock. You know I'm saying
There's none of that ever ever no yeah. I accidentally got a rolling heel hook.
Yeah.
You actually got to know what you're doing.
You're not going to get lucky, you know?
Yeah.
Any fat dude can throw a big right hand and hit you in the right spot.
What is the one jiu-jitsu move that has had the highest rate of success?
Let's let everybody know.
Round one of the John Lineker fight is right about to take place.
If you listen to this podcast, you never heard this.
There's no philosophizing.
What we're doing is we're watching fights.
And as the fights are taking place, we're talking shit.
Joey motherfucking Diaz is here.
Holla at your boy.
Joe Diaz.
What's happening?
Brendan Chubb and Brian Callen.
The fight started.
You could probably, it says 4.43 right there.
When I said that,
that's what it says
as far as the time
if you want to sync up
because there's a bit
of a difference
between the fights
and the live broadcast
that we're doing.
There's like a 15 second delay,
something like that.
And look for me
to make a lot of comments
in this fight
commanding guys.
Fight, shut down.
John Lineker,
that dude with the red shorts,
he's a fucking beast.
He's one of the hardest hitting flyweights in the world.
The guy cracks, but can't make the weight.
Keeps fucking up and missing his weight.
Did he miss weight this time?
Missed his weight cut twice.
He would have already had a shot at the title.
Look at how he hits.
This motherfucker with a heart shot.
He left hooks him to the upper rib cage.
Heart shot.
Takes away his heart.
Those are the worst.
Those are ruthless.
Lineker can fucking, I'm telling you,
I've seen a lot of dudes that are in this weight class crack.
He's totally different than all of them.
If every 125 was like Lineker,
this would be a hugely exciting division.
This motherfucker puts guys to sleep.
He hits hard.
He's got like weird power.
Like when he hits you, you see dudes go like, whoa, nobody ever hit me like that before.
My bad, at 135.
125.
125, my bad.
He's a flyweight, man.
So he was supposed to be fighting DJ.
Well, that's why he has a hard time making 125, obviously.
Look at this.
Oh, shit, nice takedown.
Good strength.
Blicker's from AT&T, right?
Brazil, yeah, AT&T, right? Brazil.
Yeah, AT&T.
Pretty sure, right?
Yeah, he's got AT&T.
Oh, I thought he was about to set up a –
He's doing a good job getting over that leg, that left leg.
Oh, look, he's out.
He's out.
He's out.
Oh, he let that dude get on top of him.
You know what?
That's what sucks about the cage, right?
You can't skip your hips back.
Yeah, there's no shrimping against the cage.
You're just stuck right there.
I think the cage benefits wrestlers a lot more with their heavy hips, their ground and pound.
It's definitely an advantage for a wrestler.
Is there a jiu-jitsu move that has had the highest percentage of success in the UFC?
Rear naked choke.
Yeah, probably a choke.
Maybe a guillotine.
You think a guillotine?
I think the most would be a rear naked.
And then guillotine.
I'm sure there's a stat somewhere, right?
Okay, what submission?
Oh, and then anaconda.
Wait, hold up.
There's only been one in the heavyweight division.
Wait a minute.
Brendan.
Brendan.
Come on, stop.
Silly goose.
Come on, stop.
You silly goose.
Well, other guys have hit anacondas, haven't they?
Not in the UFC.
Not in the heavyweight division.
Did Phil Davis, did he get a DARS on Gustafson?
No, that was an anaconda.
That was an anaconda.
That's light heavyweight, though, isn't it?
Oh, that's right.
You said heavyweight.
Sorry.
I thought you said in the UFC.
Oh.
Oh.
But he did get a, that wasn't an anaconda, right? Yeah, no, there's been a bunch of anacondas. I spent in the in the UFC. But he did get a...
Yeah, no, there's been a bunch of anacondas.
I spent in the heavyweight division.
It's the dopest name.
Right?
Yeah.
Anaconda choke?
What's a doper name than an anaconda killing somebody?
Everybody wants to be an anaconda when you're doing jiu-jitsu.
Anaconda.
This is the fucking...
This is the kangaroo choke
What?
Ew
Get that away from me
But I want an anaconda
Motherfuckers
Catch a dude
With an anaconda
Actually don't remember
The last time I saw
Besides
Not with a kick
But with a punch
Somebody takes somebody out
With a liver shot
Oh it happens all the time
With hands?
With hands?
Well it happens with all kinds of things
With kicks yes
But not I don't know about hands.
I see a lot in boxing, but not. It definitely
happens. That's when you know a guy's a high-level striker
if he's going to the body. Right. Yeah. Especially
in a high-level fight, if the
high-pressure fight and he's going to the body, he's a
really good striker. Hard to set up, right? You've seen
Fabio Maldonado fight, right?
You know, he's not at the level of the top
guys, and he got chewed up by Miocik.
He just should not be.
We called that one.
He just should not have been fighting heavyweights.
He's just smaller.
And Miocic is a beast.
They shouldn't even sanction that fight.
I agree with you 100%.
It was a Brazilian sanctioning fight.
I don't think they probably would have accepted it in Vegas.
No.
Miocic just had way too much for him, too much power, too much technique.
Stipe looked fucking fantastic, though.
He looked really crisp in that fight.
Looked really good.
Yeah.
Yeah, he looked great.
I'll friggin' drive down to Chipotle
and I'll come fool's out if you want to hype it up.
How dare you?
How dare you?
I'm just saying, man.
It's a mismatch.
Yes.
It wasn't.
Big time.
And not only that.
He was a lot bigger, too, it looked like.
Yeah.
He was way bigger.
Well, Maldonado was supposed to be on another fight.
Maldonado should probably be fighting at 70.
Let's be honest.
Oh, shit.
No, you didn't.
No, for real.
He could make 70.
He's got some extra weight.
He definitely has a few pounds.
That's all I'm saying.
He's a beast of a fighter.
Some of the best boxing, if not the best boxing.
Yeah.
Well, he's the best.
He's like one of the best at just eating shots and still coming forward.
Him, Glover, that was tough to watch.
Yeah, man.
But what about when he clipped Glover with that left hand?
Oh, shit.
What's going on here?
That was pretty crazy.
I always wanted to see Glover versus DC.
That would have been a great fight.
Very interesting fight.
DC against anybody is very interesting.
Rear naked choke is number one. That's what I is very interesting. Rear naked choke is number one.
That's what I thought.
Yeah, rear naked choke is numero uno.
Number two, I'm going to say guillotine is number two.
For sure, guillotine.
You think so?
Maybe armbar, right?
Nope, guillotine.
Guillotine.
Let's see.
Yeah, because with wrestlers, a lot of times people shoot in.
Yep, guillotine, number two.
Number two is guillotine.
But you can kind of crank on someone's neck and choke them out, even if you're not, you
know.
Yeah, if you don't know what you're doing.
Yeah.
Like, try pulling off a darts if you don't know what you're doing.
Try pulling off a Peruvian necktie if you don't know what you're doing.
Yeah, but you're right.
If you get someone's head in there, you kind of headlock them to death.
Certain angle.
For example, Chael Sonnen.
Chael's not known for his jiu-jitsu.
No.
Chael Sonnen versus Shogun when he got him that guillotine.
It was just kind of, and he's arching back and straight on.
But a lot of guys are arching back now.
A lot of guys are arching back if they have a different angle.
You know, it used to be like with that arm-in guillotine that everybody would always say that you have to smother it.
But Eddie Bravo now says that there's also a way to do it if you're sideways where you're arching back.
You can arch back sideways.
He's like from certain angles,
it's okay to arch back.
It's like,
that's the complexity of jujitsu.
It's just little tiny adjustments.
Like we were talking before the podcast about Amal Easton taught me a
variation on the guillotine that was really good for the defense,
which is to go over the top of the back.
But also there's just little variation in the way you hold it made the bone of the arm dig into the neck.
And just that one little thing was like, ah, fuck.
But when you're looking at it, it almost looks the same.
Like when someone shows it to you, they're just showing you one little tiny tweak,
but that tiny tweak has a huge impact.
You know, with wrestling, it's interesting because before when the wall was up with
the Soviet Union and
East Germany, when they would meet,
they had their own technique and the West had
their own techniques. And they
would watch tape on each other, but they couldn't figure
out really what they were doing,
right? Because it was so subtle.
When the wall came down
and all those Eastern Europeans started coming
over to the United States and wrestling with those guys,
wrestling changed dramatically, like in 10 years.
Because everybody's starting to share their secrets.
Because they couldn't figure it out just watching tape.
It wasn't like you watch boxing.
It was so subtle.
The little differences, like you're talking about, on how one guy would shoot a double leg or where he was holding on the knee and stuff like that made a huge difference.
I'll tell you who didn't give a shit about technique.
You could show him whatever he wanted, whatever he did worked.
Shane Carlin.
You got a hole in your neck.
He was like, how's that feel?
I'm like, you're literally about to break my neck off.
You're going to snap my neck off.
He's way too big.
He's just too big of a human being.
I was at a mall's place, and he walked in, and he had a rash guard on,
like the skin-tight rash guard, short-sleeve rash guard.
No fight scheduled.
So he's eating whatever the fuck he wants, including Mexican supplements, right?
So he walks into the gym, and he didn't even look like a human.
He looked like Shrek, like if Shrek was a real person.
He was so much bigger than everybody there.
Like, this is ridiculous.
Bro, training partner for basically my entire career since I moved out here.
Good lord.
And no one would work with us.
It was just me and Shane.
Shane took me under his wing and paid for my private training.
But in exchange, I was the only one who would spar with him.
Oh, my God.
One day, and I'm not going to go put his personal business out there,
but one day he was going through some rough times at home.
Shane-o is stressed out, and he's 300 pounds, and work's kicking his ass, and he's very, very is stressed out and he's 300 pounds and works
kicking his ass and he's very very stressed out and he's having girl problems so i show up to
spar and this motherfucker is there super early like he's on the couch he's on the couch right
i'm like what the hell are you doing dog he's like oh it was rough like you know shane's a deep voice
it was rough last night slept slept at the gym i'm good though literally almost in
tears so i'm like whatever man we spar and i catch him with a decent right hand he has headgear on
300 pound shaved silverback gorilla i hit him with a good right hand and he goes
fuck rips his headgear off shakes the cage tears are in his eyes he's just dealing with other stuff
he's not doing well and i'm like what the fuck oh it's me it's me him and our coach trevor whitman
was there and trevor goes throwing trevor adam like a wounded animal, like a crocodile. Trevor goes, Shane, take a minute. He goes, no, I'm good.
I'm good.
And I'm like, fuck, Shane.
What about me, man?
I'm your friend.
I'm fucking terrified in this bitch.
I got Shane Carlin freaking out, crying over me.
God, that's terrifying.
Dude, he knocked out Gonzaga.
I would have faked a tummy ache.
He knocked out Gonzaga with a six-inch punch.
It was like this far.
It traveled this far. There's no one like, I'm telling you. the tummy ache. He knocked out Gonzaga with a six-inch punch. It was like this far. It traveled this far.
There's no one like him.
It was just like this.
Yeah, but when you're sparring with him,
the headgear is not doing shit really against those giant mitts.
That's why my footwork got good because, no, there's no, what?
Yeah.
Hit by Shane Carver and his fist.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Everything on him is just thick.
Your heart is beating.
Everything.
Your heart is beating.
Everything.
Everything.
Everything.
Your heart's beating all the time.
You're not looking forward to sparring.
It sucks, right?
I was terrified.
Yeah.
I would sit in my car before and she'd be like, God damn, I don't want to do this.
And then Shane would text me, where you at, bro?
I just parked.
Coming.
Talking to myself. When it comes around i stopped talking
i stopped talking he leaves i start talking again it was like debo dog he just punked that guy
he hit so hard he was so big too oh man the first round again brock lesnar man that was the game
changer when he did that thing where he picked me up and squeezed me, and I started tapping, and I heard him whisper,
I'm only at 40%, bro.
My arm, he hit a nerve or something.
For like a month later, my arm would get these weird numb spells.
Dude, when Shane would drink, he's one of those guys who would hit you.
I hate being hit.
You're 300 pounds.
We're in downtown Denver.
For sure don't hit me in front of people.
My body would be tore up.
Hey, he's all busted up from football, huh?
Yeah, his back and his neck.
I mean, yeah.
He was a middle linebacker at Western.
Got a tryout with the Philadelphia Eagles.
And then he wrestled, you know, high caliber wrestler, man.
College, high school, everything.
Yeah, your body just can only take so much. Those soft tissue areas, the breakdown areas, inside the discs.
I tell you what, man, I miss that guy.
Ooh, do I miss him.
Best training partner I've ever had.
Good dude, too.
Just a great guy to be around.
He was one of the guys when I couldn't afford to work with Trevor Whitman,
who was like this crazy, right, had world champions.
Shane sought him out and was like, hey, come with me.
I'm like, bro, what do you want me to give him, a fucking back rub for a minute?
I got nothing.
I didn't have much money.
And Shane talked with him.
And then the next day he was like, hey, you're coming with me.
Shane didn't have a ton of money either.
He just put it all on his credit card, paid for mine and his private.
So me and Shane work out at the same time.
Wow.
That's pretty cool, man.
That's very cool of him.
What is it like working with Whitman?
You like Whitman?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Whitman's biggest thing, man, is he's a super positive guy and he's creative.
Yeah.
I mean, listen, what he did with Shane and with me was pretty cool.
He had two straight flat canvases.
Me and Shane were like rock them, sock them robots, which is why I stutter now.
Every round, every round, it would give us the 30-second marker.
No matter what we're doing
on the ground,
wrestling,
whatever,
we'd both get up,
go to the center of the octagon,
hit gloves,
and sit there
and punch each other
in the face.
Good times.
I wish,
good times.
I wish Trevor would be like,
hey,
Brendan,
listen,
that's great,
but I'm going to do you a solid
don't do that anymore,
man.
Right.
Yeah.
Because you played football
for your whole life
and then you free sparred, you sparred with Shane Carman
for eight years.
You definitely have some brain trauma.
I'll tell you what, though.
Literally best train partner in the world.
Speaking of brain trauma, look at this fucking fight.
These guys are slaying it.
We're missing a crazy fight.
Lineker's going off, man.
Jesus Christ.
Both guys are landing.
Oh.
Crazy, man.
Yeah, but Lineker is like, it's just a difference when he hits you.
It just sucks.
This is why the injuries, I talked to Joe Daddy.
I worked with him.
You got a good body shot in there.
Joe Daddy, I said, do you have any injuries?
He goes, yeah, I got a cracked pelvis, broke my pelvis, broke three bones in my neck.
I was like, Jesus.
Broke my pelvis.
Yeah.
I said, how'd you do that?
He goes, I don't know, in a fight.
I think I got kicked.
Oh, you don't know? Oh, okay. Broke your hip. Like Bob Sapp? This fight's ridiculous, by the way. Yeah, I said, how'd you do that? He goes, I don't know, in a fight. I think I got kicked. Oh, you don't know?
Oh, okay.
Broke your hip.
Kicked by Bob Sapp?
This fight's ridiculous, by the way.
Yeah, this fight's incredible.
You know what's incredible?
I'm looking.
Atlantic City starts about three rows out.
Check out the people three rows and beyond.
Look at that fat dude with the hot knee orange shirt.
Atlantic City starts three rows and beyond. Look at that fat dude with the hot knee orange shirt. Atlantic City starts three rows out.
You guys have no fucking idea what Atlantic City is.
I've never been.
Hell.
First time.
I've never been.
I've been there.
They bus white trash in from all fucking ports.
It's 15 to get on the bus and to go to Atlantic City.
Here's the clinker.
They give you $10.25 when you get to Atlantic City.
So they basically give you $10
back, then they give you a book
of coupons for another $50 to eat
to try to keep you there all day.
So if you go, let's say, at the
8 o'clock in the morning bus, you can't
leave till 5.
Whether you're broke, whether you ate all your
coupons, you cannot
go back on the fucking bus.
I ain't trying to be funny.
I'm telling you.
Right.
I'm telling you the rules.
So they have a scam.
Every fucking hour on the hour from all points in New Jersey and New York, buses go down to Atlantic City.
Right now, half those people sitting there have already lost their money, and they're just killing time to the midnight bus,
and somebody from the UFC just happened to give them nice tickets they're sitting there they don't
even know what the fuck the bookmaker who's gonna win the fucking the Yankee
game because that's how they're gonna bounce back on Sunday and they could go
down the shore and look at them they're mummified looks like a fucking old
Anderson Silva right there that a hand on his face.
That's Atlantic City for you.
Where's fucking Dana in his room with eight bodyguards?
Good body shot.
Where's Dana White?
He ain't nobody to be found yet.
They haven't showed him to the Fertitta brothers.
Fuck them.
They're in their rooms hiding.
This is Atlantic City.
They ain't coming back.
Satellite feed.
They're hiding.
Yeah, Dana comes out in the main Fox Sports fights.
He comes out for that.
Towards the end, when we have that thing where we sit down and we start breaking down the fights in the main card.
He's getting tagged, man.
Oh, Lineker.
These guys are getting tagged.
Oskalich can take it, though, man.
He's eating some hard shots.
He's standing his ground, man.
These guys are sweating, huh, Bren?
Lineker's a beast.
They sure are, Bren.
Fucking Dana White comes in like De Niro and Goodfellas shaking hands.
He does.
He does.
Towards the end,
shaking hands,
pointing at people.
Pointing at people.
What's happening?
What's happening?
What?
When has there ever been a billion dollar organization with a president like that?
I know.
He's amazing.
He's a character in a movie.
He doesn't even exist in a movie.
Yep.
Look at his Twitter feed.
He goes back and forth with idiots all day.
Talking shit with idiots.
Talking shit with idiots.
Idiots talk shit to him.
He talks shit right back to him.
Makes fun of their pictures and shit.
It's fucking funny.
It's fucking funny, man.
People get angry.
He's like, I'm having a good time.
It's different for sure.
I was standing there with Tim Tebow.
He walks by. He goes, Tim Tebow!
Tim Tebow, thanks for coming out! And he just keeps walking
by. Just shouts at him. It works.
It works, you know?
Oh, great body shot.
Lineker rips the body, man.
Because the kid is tough as shit. Oskalich is no joke,
man. But he is eating some
bombs, and Lineker is just coming at him,
man.
I like this guy. Oh, man. But he is eating some bombs, and Lineker is just coming at him, man. I like this guy. Oh, shit.
Makes up them kicks, son.
I don't understand how some guys can take these shots.
Well, he was kicking earlier.
He landed some really good leg kicks.
Lineker's got this fight, man.
How often is it slippery in there?
Because people say that the canvases
vary. I've never
really had an issue with the canvas.
The only time I've had an issue is when one of the monsters I was fighting,
when the logos get wet, they get slippery.
That's the only part you've got to watch.
Oh, shit.
Oh, Lineker cracked him.
Oh, that's it.
That's it.
Damn.
Power into the third round.
Okay, dominating a fight for three rounds.
Actually, I don't know if he was dominating in the second because we were talking shit.
He's doing well.
Dominating a fight in the third round for sure.
And still, KOs him.
That's 11 seconds.
That's 11 seconds to go.
He's a beast, dude.
I'm telling you, he KOs everybody.
He's a beast.
God.
Damn, he just has a weight problem.
He's got a weight problem.
Well, he needs to hire like a Dolce.
Get on it.
Let's say you can't afford Dolce.
Let's say Dolce has gone straight Hollywood.
You can't afford him. Who do you go with in MMA?
That's a very good question. There's a void to be
filled. Oh, nice left hook. Look at that
stumble. Boom. Oh,
dude. Dude. Ouch.
That's a good fucking angle for
me to get into. Nutrition for
MMA fighters. That's it. Joey Diaz
is a nutrition for MMA fighters. Let's do it. Don't worry about nothing. I'm going to get into nutrition for MMA fighters. That's it. Joey Diaz. Joey Diaz.
Let's do it.
Don't worry about nothing.
I'm going to drive you somewhere nice.
Just come on.
Let's go.
God damn.
This Lineker can fucking bang.
Good technique, too.
You know, he throws wide shots, but he's got a lot of weight behind him.
Super wide.
In that situation.
He's a beast, man. You don't want to get cracked by that guy.
But you know what?
I think DJ's too fast.
DJ's too fast, too smart.
He's not going to stand in front of you like that.
It's going to be a totally different.
But it'll be interesting to see if Lineker can adapt.
If you think about the champs in every division,
they're the guy with the best defense.
A lot.
Think about it.
Most of them, name all the champs,
most of them have the very best defense In the division
Does Kane have
Really good defense
When's the last time
You saw Kane really get caught
Just the junior fight
The junior fight
That could happen to anyone
Right
And then those fights
He got dropped by
Chet Congo
Chet Congo
Chet Congo hit him perfect
And he had like six fights
Yeah
But think about it now
Like Junior Dos Santos
Really
We're not hearing a peep
Out of striking against Kane
Yeah it's true Bigfoot Nothing You know What's crazy too About the Kane thing But think about it now. Like, Jair Dos Santos, really, we're not hearing a peep out of striking against Kane.
Yeah, it's true.
Bigfoot, nothing.
You know what's crazy, too, about the Kane thing?
He got dropped by...
Chuck Congo?
Chuck Congo.
And just immediately shoots in and gets the double.
It's because that's what's natural to him. Yeah.
And that's gotten me in trouble.
Like, Frank Mir and I were talking about this.
When Frank Mir fought Noguera, he got
blasted with the right hand. Blasted, right?
He's on a queer street shaking.
And his kind of plan B,
just his body automatically does it,
is shoots in. And that's when he shot
in and then broke his arm, Mir
and Kamura, where Noguera
could have finished him. I thought Noguera
went to finish him because Noguera wanted
to make a point because Frank was saying something about Noguera's jiu-jitsu.
So he's not worried about Noguera's jiu-jitsu.
Noguera's jiu-jitsu is kind of basic.
And went for that guillotine.
What I had heard was that he wanted to submit Frank Mir
because of their first fight, like to sort of prove a point.
Which is great, but you would have had an extra, whatever, 225K in the bank
if you just kept punching him like this. It was literally over right and me and frank were talking about in the back and i was
like that right hand man i go in the locker room that fucking right hand he goes bro i got caught
the exact same way you did he goes but your natural instinct was sit there and swing my body just took
over and i fucking went in man meanwhile that was like the most devastating turnaround and then
counter that submission.
Are you kidding me?
Frank Mir, Nogueira?
He broke his arm in half at the top.
Like you could see it go limp.
Yeah, Brazilian cats, especially Nogueira.
He's not tapping.
Not tapping.
Frank Mir, I think, greatest heavyweight submission artist of all time.
It's hard to argue.
He's definitely the best bone breaker.
How long does it take to actually come back from an injury like that?
It depends if you ever come back from it.
I mean, Tim Sylvia arguably was never the same.
Tim Sylvia arguably was never the same.
I mean, he was always a big right-hand puncher, but he had a real good left too.
And he had real problems with that arm.
He thanked Herb Dean for saving his career by stopping that fight
because he was trying to keep going.
He was trying to keep swinging because he's a to keep swaying because he's a champ.
But who knows?
Only he knows.
Only he knows how that affected his arm.
Only Noguera knows how that arm affected him.
It affected him for a long time.
He had to postpone a fight because his recovery
was not going as quickly as he thought it was.
Yeah, there's a lot of guys in trouble.
That's so crazy, man.
The loudest I've ever cheered is when,
for someone who's not a friend or a teammate,
is for Frank Mir when he fought Brock
Lesnar. I wanted to beat Brock so
bad. Because I didn't want Brock to come from
WWE playing
grab ass, making all this money, and just
stroll over and just destroy catch.
Which is what he was basically doing. You were cheering for him
when he got him in that ankle lock? Oh, yeah.
What? And he got beat by Jiu Jitsu?
My favorite fight of all time.
But it was one of the worst taps ever. because the referee was just not on it, man.
He just didn't get on it quick enough.
Fucking Mazzagati.
If you're a heavyweight and see Mazzagati, yeah, for sure.
But you're like, damn, son.
He's a good dude.
Don't have my head on a swivel.
Chomp on that.
There are mental lapses that you can't have.
And when you've got a guy like Frank Mir yanking on your fucking knee bone.
Frank Mir gets a hold of something.
Yeah, you better watch your P's and Q's.
He's going to break it.
It depends who you are, yeah.
Oh my God, that'll just take out your,
that'll destroy your entire life.
Dude, he broke Tim Sylvia's arm in a weird way.
Like, he had the elbow,
like he was real low down on the arm bar.
Bro, Frank Mir frustrates me.
Frustrates me.
One of my, literally, we talked about it,
one of my favorite guys,
bro, if I'm Frank Mir and I got those nasty leg locks and all this shit,
and I'm fighting Daniel Cormier, Josh Barnett, whoever,
even though Josh is a beast on the ground,
I'm jumping to half guard, son.
I'm going for your fucking legs.
Because most guys aren't, no matter, listen,
if you're fighting Frank Mir and you're not a leg lock specialist,
and you're like, oh, I got three months to get ready for it,
dude, just do what you do. Forget about the fucking
leg locks. If he gets a hold of you, you're in trouble.
Don't you want to know
basic submission defense?
You don't think everyone he trains with knows
basic? If you're Frank Mir's training partner,
you're like, yeah, I know some shit on the ground
with my legs because I train with Frank.
And he's still adapting that and catching
them. So then you go into the fight and you get caught in this complex ankle lock
and you're defended with the first basic defense because you're not very versed on him.
But isn't that assuming that you're really deeply caught, though?
There's a lot of the defenses catching it before it ever gets bad.
For sure.
I mean, if Frank Mir gets caught, I mean, if he catches it, it's a good attempt.
Right, but you should know basic defense.
You should have known that shit before you took the fight, son.
That's true, but if you've got three weeks, you can improve your basic defense quite a bit.
Oh, there's Trevor Whitman right there.
He is right there.
He is right there.
So what you're telling me is, okay, so you're fighting Ronda in two months.
I know from being a moron that if she touches my fucking wrist.
You got to know what she's doing.
You got to know what she's doing.
You definitely got to know what she's doing so you can maybe help.
Like, look at Misha Tate.
Misha Tate held it off until the third round.
You know, the only reason why she held it off is because she knew what was going on.
And Misha is a good submission artist herself.
Misha hired a teammate of Ronda's who did judos known for arm bars.
Ronda was very hurt by that. Hired
someone who was on the team with Ronda or they were in the same
circle to brought her in
and she was like, yeah, if you pay me, I'll help you out.
His side defended Ronda's arm bar.
Wow. Dude, way to piss off,
way to freaking poke the bear. Ronda was
like, what? I'm going to fuck your arm
up now. Way to poke the bear.
Enjoy that. That is the last bitch you want in your weight class.
What?
When she hit Alexis Davis with that right hand, knee to the body, and then hip toss,
full weight on her.
Boom.
Lands into side mount.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
I love it.
That's how you know the rest of the bitches.
They're like, who else wants some?
No, you're good.
16 seconds.
No one wants it.
Well, Kat Zingano said she wants a fighter.
Yeah, like two weeks later.
No, I'll fight her.
No, I have this fight, though.
We'll figure it out.
Yeah, no shit.
Yeah.
Heavyweights.
Heavyweights.
Sonya's knocked out.
You look on Twitter.
The number fucking 45th ranked guy in the world's calling Kane out.
You know what I'm saying?
Right, right, right. Girls, they're like, no, we're cool world is calling K-9. You know what I'm saying? Right, right, right.
Girls, they're like, no, we're cool.
You got this, girl.
They're at the fucking movie premiere, right?
They buy all our tickets.
What's scary about her is she's getting better, and she's way better than everybody else.
And she's getting better.
Every time she fights, she's better.
The fucking Sarah McMahon fight, boom, knee to the body takes her out.
We've never seen that.
Just crushed her.
Crushed her with the knee to the body. This fight, catches her with the right hand, and then boom, knee to the body takes her out. We've never seen that. Just crushed her, crushed her with the knee to the body.
This fight, catches her with the right hand, and then perfectly placed knee to the body,
and then a hip toss about as good as you've ever seen in the UFC.
Almost broke that bitch's neck.
Yeah.
Everyone's like, oh my God.
Ronda said, I guess, that she was out when she was throwing it.
She could tell that she was limp.
Yep.
So she had probably gotten knocked out by either the punch or the knee to the body sometimes makes you just go limp.
Because if I'm correct, I think she hit her with a left knee, which is like a left hook on that side of your body.
Right to the liver.
So she probably brutalized her.
Shut things down.
Shuts your whole system down.
Look at that.
Look at that.
Look at all those pickpockets.
Look at that.
Look at all those Puerto Rican pickpockets. Look at that shit. Look at that. Look at all those pickpockets. Look at that. Look at all those Puerto Rican pickpockets.
Look at that shit.
Look at that.
That fucking town.
Are you fucking crazy, Atlantic City?
The best fight in that fucking card is the one after the fucking UFC fight on the boardwalk.
Get the fuck out of here, UFC.
Hey, what do you think about this possibility that Gina Carano might sign or that Holly
Holm is going to fight her next?
Holly Holm's not going to fight her next.
Holly Holm said she wants a couple more fights before she takes on Ronda.
And Ronda has the Mike Tyson effect, man.
Who else wants some of Ronda, right?
Who else wants some of Deebo?
Everyone's like, no, we're good.
We're good.
She's so good.
Because now bitches, because before, bitches were like, what?
I'll be the main event?
Championship fight?
I'm going to have all these cameras?
Not if you last eight seconds, bitch.
No one remembers you.
You got to hang in there.
Yeah.
Like Liz Carmouche, we were out with her in Vegas.
Yeah.
All anyone came up and talked about was her fight with Ronda.
Yep.
Ah, you almost had her.
That was cool.
Yeah.
Of course.
Yeah, well, that's always what happens, too, when someone is like this super dominant person.
It's like people are waiting to see them lose.
They're waiting to see them get beat.
That's the number one reason why people go to a Floyd Mayweather fight.
Just want to see him lose.
Yeah.
If there was a percentage, how many people are here to see Floyd lose?
It's probably like 40%.
Yeah.
At least.
Every hater in the crowd here, and they all have his Team Money Mayweather shirt.
People are hoping.
I saw him once.
I saw him once.
After that fucking last 16 minutes, you won't see Joe Silver for months.
They got him with a briefcase in the neighborhoods.
They got him in Africa.
They got him in England.
What are you talking about?
After what?
The booker.
After fucking Ronda beat the hell out of him.
They just took him on Monday's meeting.
Joe Silver, you're going on a long fucking trip.
You understand me?
Long.
You got to go find some fucking body to fight this chick. You understand me? Long. You got to go find some fucking body
to fight this chick.
You understand me?
You got to go somewhere
deep in the jungle.
Somewhere deep.
Well, what's interesting
about the Gina Carano thing
is if Gina Carano
does fight,
that she's going to
fight her first.
That's how it should be
because guess what?
Gina Carano has one fight
to make her career
relevant in acting again.
So she gets one fight
against Ronda.
They publicize
the shit out of it. Ronda likes Gina. She's a fan. So she's not fight against Ronda. They publicize the shit out of it.
Ronda likes Gina.
She's a fan.
So she's not going to rip her head off.
If someone said, yo, girl, most of the girls out there said, hey, you got to fight Ronda
Rousey.
Just let her arm bar you.
You get like a mill.
It's all good.
She's not going to hurt your face.
She's going to body slam you on your back.
And then she's going to break your arm.
But you just got to tap early.
You're going to get a nice mill.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Every chicken head's like, oh, hell yeah.
Every chicken head.
And walking out with their black belt around their neck.
Gina's going to have a hard time making 35, isn't she?
No.
No, she's going to hire a professional.
She was never known for her work ethic.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
So now I think she's going to give it a legit go.
She does fight Ronda.
She needs a lot of time.
Her striking is pretty legit, isn't it?
Yeah.
It doesn't matter what the fuck she does.
It's going to last one round.
Hopefully it lasts longer than the last
16 seconds, so we at least
get to see some of it.
Just get in shape and show up.
Tap out. Get your check.
Go have some fun. Call Big Brown.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm a good time.
You're giving her just the first round.
You're saying that's how dominant.
Are you kidding me?
No, it's not even a fight.
Really?
Not even a fight.
No.
They should be like, Brendan versus the guy who made his burrito.
Come check it out.
It's not going to last long.
You're saying so Gina Caruso, because she's been out so long, or it's just a different level?
It's a different level.
What are we talking about?
Alexis Davis is a beast.
Okay, let me say, what about this?
What about juice to the tits cyborg?
When she was at her best.
Juice to the tits.
Cyborg when she was at her best.
That's a tough fight.
Yeah.
It's a tough fight.
Cyborg could hit really hard.
Cyborg making 135 cyborg cyborg
making 135 was strict testing gonna get ate the fuck up yeah yeah nom nom nom nom nom that's
135 with strict testing is a little bit problematic i'd like to go back in time to the
price when she was 175 oh and shoot what my ass what are we talking about there's a picture gina
she's she was terrified she was terrified there was terrified. There was a picture of her from behind and her husband, Cyborg.
And her back is roughly as wide as his.
It was.
She slimmed down considerably.
I've got a lot of respect for her, man.
Me too, man.
She fought Karina Dams.
She fought that kickboxing Muay Thai chick who nobody wanted to fight for three years.
And Cyborg fought her, I think, in her fourth fight or something like that.
And even though she doesn't look physically the same when she was super intimidating,
like scary when she fought Gina Carano.
She looked like Vanderlei with some cornrows.
Yes, yes.
She looks much more womanly now.
But she's still a beast.
She lost that fight, didn't she?
Yes, she did.
Super beast.
But I'll tell you what, man.
She got cracked in the first round.
She got front kicked in the face and dropped.
She got up.
And she came after this chick, man.
The chick was still going after her.
I mean, it was a wild-ass fight.
And the woman she fought is so legit, she hasn't been able to secure a fight in three fucking years.
Wow.
She's really good.
I would still rather watch Misha Tate fight.
She can lose six in a row.
Cool.
I'll watch him.
Yeah, she's attractive.
Wow. Ronda Rousey, yep, sign me up. She's Bren six in a row. Cool. I'll watch them. Yeah, she's attractive. Wow.
Ronda Rousey, yep, sign me up.
She's Brennan.
You know what I'm saying?
You show business.
Gina Carano versus Ronda will be the biggest women's fight ever.
Why?
Because they're both hot.
Yes.
What are we talking about?
It's what we all want.
Well, that's the whole thing.
Turn the lights on, let them get sweaty.
What are we talking about?
Listen, I am a hardcore fan, and I will watch Cyborg fight anybody.
Every time she's fighting, I'm watching.
I watch her in Victor fights.
I'm going to watch her when she fights at 135.
I think she's a badass fighter.
I think she is.
I really think she's a beast, man, 100%.
She is.
I'm just saying if you gave me my pick, I would pick these other girls.
I actually don't agree with you on that.
I like watching the most skilled fighter out there.
We're goofing around.
Yeah, I know.
The UFC knows.
They have a problem.
We've got to come up with somebody.
Well, I think if there's anybody
that's got a chance,
it might be Cyborg.
Well, they've got to come up
with the next four fucking girls.
If Cyborg can comfortably make
at the same time.
That's two years.
It was funny,
because, yeah,
she'll take on the Italian chick
and Gina Carano
at the same fucking time.
If I'm Ronda's advisor,
I'm saying,
you fight two more times
and we're out.
We're going to wait around until they find some
monster working out in
freaking Brazil. There's got to be some gold
medalists right now that are sitting around.
Some judo people that are sitting around right now.
They're seeing the money she's making and what she's been able to do.
There's got to be some wrestlers.
They're all coming up. It's about them putting together
a career and getting to a position where they can
actually challenge her and not just jumping right into the lion's mouth.
She may be gone by that.
She's going to be out before that happens, I think.
What do I know, though?
I don't think so, dude.
I think she likes beating bitches' asses.
I think she's going to stick around.
I think she's going to stick around.
She enjoys it, man.
She's too good to stop.
I'm not saying she's stopping next week.
I'm just saying maybe three or four.
Maybe.
Two more fights is another year, Brandon. Maybe. Two more fights is another year. Exactly.
Two more fights is another fuck year. You gotta realize
she's been doing judo since she's a kid. Her body
is not, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, well she's got
a little bit of knee surgery she's about to do right now.
She did it yesterday. Meniscus?
I think so. They cleaned it up, scoped the knee.
But listen, man. She's too good to stop.
She's revolutionary good.
She's redefining combat sports for women. Even if she stopped right now, it's too straight, stop. She's revolutionary good. She's redefining combat sports for women.
Even if she stopped right now, she's straight, man.
But she's still going to get better, man.
And get paid.
She's still going to get paid.
Dude, she's a lot of money on the table.
She's so gigantic.
I don't think she's going to stop.
I think you're crazy.
I think the UFC would figure out a way.
I'm not saying she's going to stop.
You think she should?
I think after three fights.
Wow.
Which stick around and wait for what?
Till they find a monster to beat you?
But is that what she's doing?
And then she's stuttering.
Then she's with her kids and she's stuttering.
Right.
How long are you going to wait?
And she doesn't need any more money.
Oh, and her movie career is booming.
She's also been pretty vocal about the fact that she is going to retire sooner than later.
Yes.
Has she been?
Yeah.
At least she said so on my podcast.
She's been pretty.
You mean our podcast?
No, even mine, when I did it on the Brian Callen Show.
I didn't know it was that.
Brian Callen Show.
On the Brian Callen Show.
Man thoughts.
Man thoughts.
Motherfucker called his show Man Thoughts for a while.
I had to talk to him.
Joe was like, just call it Brian Callen Show.
Yeah, I shouldn't even name my show The Joe Rogan Experience,
but I just did it because I'm a Jimi Hendrix fan.
As you see the Jimi Hendrix mugshot behind me.
I just named it that just for, you know, it was a goof.
You know?
We had a laptop with snowflakes.
Yep.
Joe Proctor, Massachusetts boy.
Those dudes like to fight.
Which one?
Joe Proctor.
Justin Salas.
Oh.
Throwing some bombs.
Quincy Mass.
In the house.
Joe, make sure you tweet for me.
I'm going to be at the West Palm.
You don't do it for yourself.
Sometimes this motherfucker tells me to tweet for him, and I check his page, and he hasn't
tweeted.
I know.
And I was like, hey, dude, you can't do that.
He gets so mad at me.
He's like, hey, asshole, he asked me to tweet for you.
And he hasn't even done it.
And it's in my drafts.
I'm like, oh, it didn't go through.
So for instance, August 1st, I'm going to be at the Ace Theater in downtown LA with
Joey and Duncan.
And we've been tweeting that shit for weeks.
I've been tweeting.
I've been doing Instagrams and tweeting.
I've been doing it.
You've been doing some of those Instagram videos, but you are awful on Twitter.
Hey, by the way, Joey, you never –
For reals, right?
So bad.
I was like, can you tweet this out, please?
So he won't put any like at Brendan or hashtag find the kid what we use.
He just puts Brendan's really funny in this one and then put a link.
Everyone's like, what the fuck?
What are you talking about?
I've got to learn how to do that
I'm really
No I'm learning now
For sure learn
I am
Just pay attention a little
Listen
You have a fucking iPad for a phone
I know
You didn't give us any love
For the picture that we Instagrammed
Where I'm jumping in the air
Did you get a text back
No I didn't
I did send it to you
I sent you a text back
No
Yeah
You big time me
I was like oh that's cool
I think I Text back ha ha ha ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
But I was in Hawaii.
Somebody was like, flying squirrel.
We got all kinds of things.
We had some funny things.
It's not rape if you scream surprise.
I was impressed with your article.
Oh, you're right.
I didn't text anything back.
You thought, ha, ha.
That works for me, Doug.
Yeah.
Those shorts are sexy, man.
Big-timing you?
Big-timing.
I want to thank America for all the comments about my shorts.
Yeah, you were jumping pretty high.
That's legit, right?
Yeah.
Our friend who took that picture, literally, I was like, hey, take this picture.
This fool's about to blow his asshole out jumping on the beach.
So he jumped, and she got it in one snap.
And I was like, let me see that.
I'm like, Brian, get over here.
I was like, oh, my God. I'm like, Brian, get over here. I was like, oh, my God.
Perfect shot.
Sun reflecting off my pigeon chest.
Did you run and jump?
Yeah.
But I felt.
You ran about 40 yards.
I remember I felt.
I was like, I feel.
I go, I'm going to jump high.
Because I used to do all those demonstrations in Taekwondo.
I go, I'm going to jump really high.
Demonstrations.
I took ballet.
I took ballet for two years in theater school.
Why did you even admit that?
I will. Why can't it just be a cool picture, bro? Nope. Got to keep going two years in theater school. Why did you even admit that? I will.
Why can't it just be a cool picture, bro? Nope.
Gotta keep going. Gotta push it.
And wore a leotard for two years and I could jump, ladies and gentlemen. You wore a leotard
for two years? Yes, I did. Did it help your kicking?
Well, I had been doing taekwondo
so I actually could do all the
jumps and stuff.
If you can do a jumping wheel kick, you can do a
tour jatte in the air. What's that, you guys? Google it. Tour a jumping wheel kick, you can do a tour jete in the air.
What's that, you guys?
Google it.
Tour jete.
Yeah, it's called a tour jete.
How many times have you had a girl say yes because you could say tour jete?
Many.
Let's just give it to me, Brian.
I had sex with all the girls in my ballet class.
Don't kid yourself.
All of them?
Oh, my God.
Good move.
I was a young man.
They probably thought you were confused.
They were trying to fuck you back to straight.
Running around, tights on.
You have to wear a dance belt, which is essentially a thong and a cloth around your piece.
What did your dad say when he said you want to do ballet class?
My dad's a ballet fan.
Is he?
My dad's a ballet.
He signed you up for it?
He's a ballet and opera fan.
Damn, if my kid told me that, I'd be like, damn, little dude.
For real?
I was a good, I was a very, I was, I'm more, I should have been a ballet dancer.
I'm built for it.
Wait, are you joking? I'm being dead serious. Are you being dead serious? I was a natural. Get the fuck out of here, man. I was a good, I was a very, I was, I'm more, I should have been a ballet dancer. I'm built for it. Wait, are you joking?
I'm being dead serious.
Are you being dead serious?
I was a natural.
Get the fuck out of here, man.
I was a natural.
I could do four pirouettes.
I'm not kidding.
How weird is this Jack Daniels commercial for fucking Frank Sinatra?
What if Frank Sinatra was alive?
He'd be like, hey, yo, yo, yo.
What the fuck are you doing?
What are we doing?
Why are you having my songs and my picture?
He says the nectar of God.
Who fucking sold me here?
Who sold me here?
No one's making bank, though.
Can you imagine when Sinatra was alive, him doing a Jack Daniels commercial and fucking
snapping his face?
I think Elvis made more money when he was dead after he was dead from all the songs
than he did when he was alive.
And Christopher Walken wrote a one-man show about it called Him.
That was Joey's theory on Michael Jackson.
Yep.
He is.
What's that? I think Michael Jackson. Yep. He is. What's that?
I think Michael Jackson is making more money now.
Michael Jackson was dead when he was alive.
He was broke.
Yep.
And the day he died, his stock, look it up.
Yep.
He's made more this year than...
Oh, look at that lump.
Oh, no.
Oh, my God.
Oh, no.
Ain't that a bitch, though?
That sucks, man.
Making all that money after you're gone.
I guess it helps the family out.
What's going on with that thing?
Is that a hematoma?
That's what happened to my cheek, bro.
Everyone's like, oh, you broke your jaw.
Nah, man.
Or let's see your head button.
My cheek's swelling up like a bumblebee.
Wow, yeah, I thought you had a broken jaw for sure.
No, sir.
Flourishing now.
Back to training.
Powerful.
Powerful, Brendan Washington.
Bro, Joe Proctor's face looks crazy.
He's got a mouse living near his ear.
Dude, if that moves towards his eye, they're going to stop.
Joe Rogan.
Really?
It's one of those New Guinea worms.
It is because it'll burst in your eyeball?
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
He just got hit in that same spot.
Oh, my God.
See what MJ made last year.
Oh, it's bigger.
I guarantee he made a couple hundred, a couple hundred million MJ last year.
Estimated 2013 earnings from Michael Jackson.
Guaranteed.
Filthy rich, huh?
And when he died, it was all a scam.
It was all a dream.
He owned like the fucking, you could see something coming.
Remember they started putting the Beatles back on iTunes.
It was a big old scam.
He owned the fucking things.
He was in debt.
They were losing shit.
Paul McCartney did the Super Bowl.
He came back in 67 like he needs any fucking money.
He made $125 million last year.
Estimated.
He's made over $700 million in the last five.
Oh, my God.
$700 million in the last five years. I would trade spots with him, right?
Wah, wah, wah.
Wait a moment. His kids.
I wouldn't mind having his money.
Wait. He's dead. His kids
are living like fucking doctors.
Joe Jackson's
living like a doctor.
The fucking mother's living like a doctor.
Oh, that's so funny. They're all living like a doctor. The fucking mothers living like a doctor. Oh, that's so funny.
They're all living
like fucking doctors.
Unbelievable.
A hundred and twenty-five
million dollars.
It is weird that you
could sell someone shit
after they're dead.
It almost kind of seems
like when you're dead
all your artwork
should be free.
It's an interesting
looking referee.
He's got those cornrows.
I'm trying to figure him out.
He looks like the,
you know who he looks like?
The female fighter.
A million dollar baby.
What would you do, Brian? If you, uh, if you were gonna die and looks like the, you know who he looks like? The female fighter, a million dollar baby. What would you do, Brian?
If you were going to die and you had like, you know, a long career behind you,
your kids are all full grown, everybody's healthy,
and you had this idea that when you died you're going to be like more valuable than you are alive.
Like Michael Jackson.
I'd set up a charity, a foundation.
But a charity, a um but just but a charity
that that a training like a school to train like i'd go like set up schools in uh like the way
andre august he did in the inner cities and stuff because you remember the shit that was going down
with michael jackson's kids joey no yeah there was some shit where michael jackson's kid his mom was
missing remember his mom was missing oh that's right. She went to Arizona. And the kids, they're having a hard time because everybody knows that they're in line to inherit that money.
Can you imagine?
You have that whole giant group of people, whoever has a vested interest in that,
just hovering over that honeypot that is the Michael Jackson estate and seeing his kids.
His kids are going to get massive dinero.
Like, forget about a career.
Like, those kids, like, they have, oh, damn, Proctor cracked him with that left.
Proctor might win this even with that crazy hematomia.
Bro, so what we need to learn from this is you need to fake your death.
Start making some bank.
That's where the money's at, but you can't enjoy it.
It is an interesting question, though.
Like, what would you do?
How would you set things up?
Oh, we heard him again. Oh, he's messed up, man. He's really fucked. The referee's close. That enjoy it. It is an interesting question, though. Like, what would you do? How would you set things up? Oh, we heard him again.
Oh, he's messed up, man.
He's really fucked.
What if he's close?
That's it.
Damn, Joe Proctor with a mouse growing out of his head.
Let's do something else.
What did Tupac make last year?
What did Tupac make last year?
Jamie, what did Tupac make last year?
$3 million.
$3 million.
$3 million?
$75.
But you have to bet over the course of his death, he's probably made a shitload.
Now, can they stick a needle in that and drain that?
Yeah, they're going to have to drain it.
Is that what they do?
Yeah, when you don't drain blood like that and it pools up, it calcifies.
That's when you get cauliflower here.
I've got a piece on my knuckle, man.
I've got this one knuckle that hurts like hell every time I punch the bag.
It's because I cut myself my knuckle and then I taped got this one knuckle that hurts like hell every time I punch the bag. It's because I cut myself,
my knuckle,
and then I taped it up,
I wrapped it up,
but blood got underneath it
and it calcified.
Ouch.
And now I got this,
it's weird.
It's this weird knot I have
right on this knuckle,
on this finger.
And whenever I hit the bag,
it takes me like two rounds
before it stops hurting.
I have to numb it up,
so I just slap it in there
until it numbs up.
Do you have any wrist problems? Not anymore. I have to numb it up, so I just slap it in there until it numbs up. Do you have any wrist problems?
Not anymore.
I have wrist problems.
I got some of that
prolotherapy on my wrist.
I used to have a big wrist problem
with this right wrist.
I heard it kickboxing in like 1989,
and it was bad until like 2002.
Yeah, my wrist every day.
Yeah, it fucked with me
until I got prolotherapy.
I don't do anything for it.
Dude, prolotherapy is the shit.
I need to, though.
So good.
I did it on my neck, and it worked.
Oh, you did do it?
Yeah, prolotherapy.
I did it for three treatments, and it worked.
For reals?
Yep.
Prolo is great on anything.
I'll show you the place.
Anything where you got tendon issues, ligament issues?
Insurance cover it?
I don't believe so.
No.
I think it's an alternative therapy.
My neck was bunched up, like really.
How long ago was this?
The point where I got an x-ray on it.
These are the injections that we're talking about?
Yeah.
The way I understand it.
The way homeboys flew over to Germany?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, that's that shit.
That's Regenequin.
Oh, that's what I'm looking for.
No, I'm good on the icy hot you're talking about.
Yeah, Regenequin's the shit.
I'm going tomorrow if you want to go with me.
Really?
Yeah, I'll tell you when we get off this thing.
You're doing it for your neck?
No, no, I'm doing it for my knee and my shoulder.
I'm doing it for any time something even bothers me a little.
You just go in there?
Really?
I just go in there.
And they just inject it?
I just take some blood.
Yeah, so far I've had my knee done.
I've had my thoracic spine done twice, and I had my cervical spine done once.
Wow.
I'm just going to have them give me the ones.
People get mad at me.
They're like, most people can't afford it. You should stop talking about it. It's a miracle cure. What? It's still a miracle once. Wow. I'm just going to have him give me the once. People get mad at me. They're like, most people can't afford it.
Stop talking about it.
It's a miracle cure.
What?
It's still a miracle cure.
Yeah.
All right, whatever it is,
the shit is fantastic.
So what do they do?
What's the whole process?
The process, which I don't understand.
Look at Mike Dolce.
Look at all sexy.
I think Misha's in this too.
They take blood out of your body
and then they spin it in a centrifuge
and heat it up.
And when you heat it up, it like gives your blood a fever.
And this is, I'm obviously giving you a very layman's version of what happens, but your
body creates this anti-inflammatory response to that heat.
And then that's in the blood and it manifests itself as this yellow serum.
And they extract this yellow serum and they inject it directly into any area where you
have inflammation.
Like if you have a knee inflammation, for me, it was my back and my neck. My neck, I had a
bulging disc. It completely fixed it. Dang. How long did the whole process take?
It took a while for me. It took several months. The injections
you space out. I spaced them out. I had two weeks worth.
But then within three, four weeks
afterwards it started feeling, it felt good right away,
but better over time as the anti-inflammation aspect of that blood serum slowly but surely
brought down any injury that I had.
And then within like months, it felt way better.
It's amazing.
I was having some problems with my knee.
Boom, shot it up.
Perfect.
Kicked the bag like a fucking werewolf now.
Dude, those kicks, I've shown everybody I know those kicks on Instagram.
Hanging in there at almost half a century.
Not bad.
47, those are some very hard kicks.
Joe Proctor.
Joe, let's get rid of that.
Can't wait for this man a bit.
Me neither, but what time?
I've got to get out of here by 8.
Come on, man.
Where are you going at 8 o'clock?
I've got to do some little stand-up.
Gotta do some little stand-up.
Where at?
Just show up.
Well, this weekend it's West Palm Improv.
But, uh, sorry.
What are you there every three weeks at the West Palm?
I love it down.
You're there every fucking three weeks.
I love Florida, though.
Fort Lauderdale, West Palm.
Don't you love Florida?
It's my favorite place to perform, probably, besides Canada.
They're wild.
Canada, yeah.
I love it.
So the next fight is Rick Story, motherfucker.
Oh, shit.
There you go.
See?
This ain't a bad card.
Story and Mofra up next.
This ain't a bad little fucking card.
And then Barboza and Dunham after that.
And you got to remember, guys, it's 1030 in Lenox City.
These are savages.
These motherfuckers don't give a fuck about work.
Look at the guy with the green shirt yelling,
The Yankees!
That guy with the green shirt is yelling,
The Yankees!
Go Yankees!
Fuck Anderson Silva.
Bring back Chael Sonnen and Brock Lesnar.
Have you guys seen this one white cat that keeps challenging these black heavyweight boxers?
Yeah.
He keeps getting the fuck beaten out of him.
He's a total troll.
But he's willing to put the gloves on and actually get in there.
He can box a little bit.
Well, he runs away with a body shot last night.
He got dropped.
Who dropped him?
Oh, he got annihilated by this dude.
Some champ.
This guy's like whatever.
Deontay Wilder Beat the fuck out of him
Yeah that's who I'm talking about
And then there's another guy
Who just did it recently
I didn't know he did it again
He kept sitting down
He wouldn't even fight Deontay Wilder
It's his thing
Another guy did it
He chased him out of the ring
The guy ran out of the ring
He dropped him
Got him on the ground
Kneed him in the face
And then beat him down
While he was on the ground
Until everybody pulled him off
Damn
Yeah he kneed him in the face
Is he trying to be funny
Or is he just being a dick
No he's an insane person
He thinks he's getting famous off of it.
He is.
I mean, we're talking about him.
Oh, boy.
He's an insane person.
Yeah.
He's not good.
He's not a healthy guy.
Poor fucker.
Just trying to...
Imagine wanting Deontay Wilder to punch you, too.
Jesus Christ.
That guy hits fucking hard.
Well, who's filming it?
He just brings his boy and is like, yo, dog, you have to film this.
Because most gyms I know, he would get beat up, too. I don't think he's filming it. You think he's filming it? I brings his boy he's like yo dog you have to film this because most gyms i know that he would get beat up too i don't think he's filming it you think he's
filming i thought it was wild there's people no he has a homeboy filming it for sure because he
because then how's he getting the footage and release it releasing all this stuff i didn't
know youtube channel i thought they were releasing it i don't think so i don't know because otherwise
why would they keep it you know i'm saying why would they release that I don't know because they just wanted to show everybody this guy talks shit and that they beat his ass I
don't know if he's I don't know who I'm just speculating right now I don't know
who I'm just saying I think it's he gets a homeboy who's down too and was like
yeah I need you record this hmm I gotta see this is it bad that I really want to
see this I know I really want to see this? No. I really want to see this. It looks like fun.
Let's all go.
He looks great.
Let's go see this, man.
Let's go see this on a huge screen.
I buy him as Hercules.
Me too.
As do I.
I think that they need to redo Conan the Barbarian again.
That James Moma guy was awesome.
He's perfect.
He's the best Conan of all time as far as the way he looks.
And we know from the Game of Thrones that he's fucking awesome if you give him a good script.
Yeah, man.
Please, somebody read it.
He's really good in Game of Thrones, man.
He was fantastic in the Game of Thrones.
And he was the best Conan of all time.
I'm sorry, Arnold.
You ever seen that guy?
He was the most believable Conan.
I've never seen it, but Arnold's the best.
You ever seen him in person, though?
This is not true.
Johnny Momoa or whatever?
Yeah, I met him.
Giant man.
Huge.
I met him at the UFC.
He's big?
Very big. Big. Samoan, man. Very nice guy. Hawaiian. Is he whatever? Yeah, I met him. Giant man. Huge. I met him at the UFC. He's big? Very big.
Big.
Samoan, man.
Very nice guy.
Hawaiian.
Is he Hawaiian?
Yeah.
But my point being, oh, see, look at that.
That's some rock shit.
He did some rock shit.
That's ridiculous.
Samson doesn't move like that, bro.
He doesn't raise his eyebrows.
But Momoa was the perfect Conan.
The greatest Conan of all time.
No doubt.
I didn't see the movie.
Arnold Schwarzenegger does pales in comparison.
Because Schwarzenegger was really good, but he was still Arnold.
And he had the hair.
I love it.
And he had the beautiful muscles.
He was very thick.
I read every Conan book.
Every Conan book, man.
I'm coming to you by crumb.
Crumb does not care.
He does not care who you are.
Crumb is just crumb.
Crumb. It was still Arnold. Krum is just Krum. Krum.
It was still Arnold, you know?
He still had that Austrian accent.
Like, why is his accent different?
What is Will Chamberlain doing in there?
What is he doing with that white bra?
Kane motherfucking Velasquez.
How was Conan?
Powerful Brown Pride.
With Johnny Moe.
Was it good or no?
No, it wasn't good.
It was decent.
It was decent up until about halfway in.
And then the ending was diggity diggity dog shit.
Yeah.
Unfortunately, because I wanted to love it.
Gotta have a good script.
Gotta have a good script.
Moe McGuy's awesome.
I'm a huge fan of the original books, the Robert E. Howard books.
Great books.
Yeah, I have all of those.
I read all of them, man. You like the Planet of the Apes
movies? I haven't seen it yet. I haven't seen the new one.
I saw the new one. Is it good? It did really well.
A little too apey for me. A little too apey.
That's my kind of movie, though, bro.
I would assume you would like it. I'm scared.
A little too apey for me. I want to watch it when there's not as many people
in the seats so I can fucking spaz out a little.
It's a good movie, though. It was well done, for sure.
It's good.
CGI, son.
They can do some shit these days.
Yeah.
They can do some shit.
They really can.
You know?
That's why they had to remake Godzilla.
Even though they didn't even have a plot.
They're like, fuck it.
It's some bullshit, though.
Look what we can do.
What happens?
They fight.
It's Japan.
Shut up.
Make the fucking movie.
But we have to have a plot.
Ah, we'll get to that.
Yeah.
This is what i
want gonzalo to do i want him to open up another monster's face and shit down his neck what is this
movie guardians of the galaxy is this a comedy it's a marvel comics um series from uh there's a
fucking raccoon 80s yeah am i supposed to take that seriously oh well they will 100 be there
to see them it was like right after Star Wars when everybody
was doing like these
star things.
Yeah, but that's a raccoon.
So they came up with
Guardians of the Galaxy.
Can't have a raccoon.
Oh, this fight, son.
I can't wait.
This fight, son.
Matt Brown and
Robbie Lawler.
Can't wait.
He's so tough.
Is that San Jose?
Yes.
So I'm going to be there.
That's on Fox, son.
Matt Brown is so rough.
This fight is gonna be
Fucking fantastic
Can't wait for this
Fucking fight
I got Lawler
And I never
You know me
I never make picks
If I was betting
I got Lawler
I think the styles clash
You might be right
He just keeps coming But I don't know man He just keeps. You might be right. He just keeps coming.
I don't know, man.
He just keeps coming.
You might be wrong, too.
I'll tell you what.
I'll watch that dude fight anybody he wants to fight.
Matt Brown?
Yeah, both of them.
Robbie Lawler, too.
He's a psycho.
Look at him.
Psycho.
Psycho.
Dead eyes.
Dude.
Dead eyes.
Well, he's calm as fuck when he gets in there, man.
I'll tell you what. When he was fighting Jake Ellenberger,
I've never seen a dude legitimately smile because he was having a good time
the way I've seen Robbie.
Seriously?
It's a very bizarre smile.
Real psycho.
Real psycho.
He got taken down by Ellenberger, and he had this juicy smile on his face,
like, he wants to take me down.
Yeah, he's a beast.
And then he got back up. Good butterfly guard.
Got back up to his feet.
Just dropping bombs.
This is going to be sick.
And Ellenberger came after him in the third.
Ellenberger was down.
He was down in the third.
He was down on the cards.
Came after him.
But, man, Robbie Lawler is a motherfucker right now.
Right now he is.
He's always been great.
He's also the hardest hitter at 170, I think.
One of them.
He's right up there.
But you can't
discount Hendricks, you can't discount Woodley,
you can't discount Lombard.
Lombard can crack!
For sure, but if you look at who has more
knockouts than all those guys you mentioned. More
fights too, though. But still, more knockouts
at a higher level. Well, Lombard, you know what, did
a lot of his fighting at 185, where I think
he was just outmassed
by a lot of people. I think at 170 you're going to see Lombard put some serious hurt on a lot of his fighting at 185 where I think he was just outmassed by a lot of people. I think at 170, you're going to see Lombard put some serious hurt on a lot of dudes.
Lombard is huge.
Lombard made me feel bad about myself.
He is jacked.
Yeah, he is.
Super jacked.
You know who's even more jacked than him?
Yoel Romero.
Yep.
You see Yoel Romero and you go, okay, what am I?
Am I a little boy?
It's a cartoon.
It's a cartoon.
And they trained together. I'm not even a man. He little boy? It's a cartoon. It's a cartoon. And they trained together.
I'm not even a man.
He's a superhero.
He's a superhero.
If I was training with him, I'd be in the picture.
No, I'm cool, man.
I'll get in the next one.
That's right.
You'll never see me.
My daughter has a waist that's only slightly smaller than Yoel Romero's.
For real.
And his body blooms out.
It's crazy.
It's this fucking triangle, like a pterodactyl.
It's crazy. out this fucking triangle like a like a pterodactyl only one person is as
ridiculous with his shape is Phil Davis true Phil Davis shoulders the most
ridiculous with yeah yeah it ridiculous like Tommy Hearns style for a 205
pounder he said you've stud did they did they give Phil a fight yet I do not know
I don't think so I do not know. I don't know either.
I don't think so.
I do not know.
I don't know.
One of the good guys for sure.
Great guy.
Great guy.
Great guy.
He's a really nice guy.
That Rumble Johnson fight was a tough fight for him.
Bad matchup, man.
Horrible matchup. Also, he's doing a lot of talking about Jon Jones leading up to that fight,
like trying to hype up a Jon Jones fight if he wins.
People, if you do that, here's the problem.
You have to win if you do that.
You have to win.
If you don't win, people get really upset with you.
And they have a reason to point at you.
Like, hey, he wasn't even paying attention to Jon Jones.
He overlooked him.
He looked past Phil Davis, looked past him.
You can't look past Rumble at 205.
He's fucking terrifying.
Yes.
I just think
Phil Davis overall is a
better fighter, just style-wise.
There couldn't be a bigger nightmare
problem-wise matchup
than Anthony Rumble Johnson. He might be
a better fighter than what Anthony Johnson used
to be. I don't know if he's a better fighter than Anthony
Johnson now. Because Anthony Johnson
now is something. He's really coming into
his own. If you watch the fight with Orlovsky,
he beat the fuck out of Orlovsky in that
first round. Broke his jaw. Dropped him.
He looked sensational. For sure. And that was
at heavyweight. Well, he
walks around at 230.
He's a natural heavyweight
almost. Yeah, almost.
Almost. But now he's
down to 205. My point being that he's just
a monstro. Straight monster. He's a monstro. Monster now he's down to 205. My point being that he's just a monstro.
Straight monstro.
He's a monstro.
Monster.
How about him versus Glover?
Him versus Glover would be a sick fight.
I love that fight.
You're welcome, Joseph.
That's what I want to say.
That's the fight I want to say.
But I told you he's going to have a hard time with Hojirio.
Him and Hojirio is going to be a war.
I think so, too.
But who knows?
It might not be.
He might clip him.
With that power at 205. Could be. Hojirio might clip him, too, man. But who knows? It might not be. He might clip him. With that power at 205.
Could be.
Hojira might clip him, too, man.
Anything can happen.
Hojira, you watch that fight with Rashad Evans.
The only thing to worry about Hojira is he pulled out with a back injury.
He's been doing it forever, man.
That's what I'm saying.
When you hear a guy say he had a back injury, man, back injuries are tricky.
Lundberg's going through a herniated disc.
Matt Brown went through a herniated disc matt um matt brown went through herniated disc like when you start going through those man a lot of those fucking
come back those come back carlin had to retire because of it yep yeah yeah he suffered from the
entire time i know like knee shit man knee shit sucks but you can get an acl reconstructed in a
year later you're good to go once your fucking spine starts giving out in certain spots,
you do rehab, you strengthen it up.
But the problem with a lot of these guys is, look,
I've had a chance to take, obviously I'm older,
so I don't recover as quickly,
but I've had a chance to take a full year off of jiu-jitsu.
I only trained once in the last year, only rolled once.
But during that time, I did nothing but strength and conditioning
nothing but kettlebells nothing but like no yanking on my neck no nothing so now like everything is
healed up strong and everything's really good but most guys who are fighting don't have that
opportunity man they're back in the gym a couple months later you're gonna have to work through
some shit and you just get it like i talked to matt sarah after matt sarah fucked up his back
before he had a rematch with gsp i go what did you do about your neck your back because you fucked your
back up pretty bad he's like bro i couldn't fucking move he was talking about holding on to
his back he's like he was at at the end of training he was demonstrating a move and then something
just gave out and he was just in insane extreme agony so they give him an epidural you know an
epidural just takes the pain away.
Takes the pain away.
And you know, X amount of months later, he's fighting GSP in Canada for the title.
You know, when you start having, like, guys come back from them.
They come back from back injuries.
But you've got to be super careful you don't make that thing a chronic issue.
Yeah, a nerve, spinal cord kind of.
I was reading about Benji Radek
the other day because I used to
be a fan of, well I still am, a fan of
Benji Radek. He fought in the IFL.
He was a good fighter. Strike force.
Good fighter. And he had an issue with his neck
and it was so bad that his
pectoral muscle just deflated
down to the bone.
His triceps and his pec.
It was from nerve damage? Yep. Just went down to the bone. Jesus.iceps and his pec. It was from nerve damage? Yep.
Just went down to the bone.
Jesus.
Yeah.
Can you imagine that?
Jesus.
And so he had an operation.
He had to get, when that happens, man. Did it come back though?
Yeah.
He came, I don't know to what extent, whether it was 100%, but it certainly came back slightly
at least.
But when you have that, you have a brief window.
When you start getting like severe atrophy, to anybody out there, this is really important because it happened to a friend of mine recently um one of eddie's black
belts he had a neck issue his arm had atrophied by the time he got to the doctor the doctor's like
you got to go into surgery you have to get that opened up like you can't allow it to go this far
they can fix it though no that's what the doctor said it's like he atrophied so much he's like the
odds of this coming back 100 are pretty small small. He waited too long. He waited
many months of it being completely atrophied.
Where he's got one arm that's
bigger than the other arm.
The doctor's like, your nerves are shut off.
The problem is when there's long-term
impingement like that,
they die. They don't come back.
Whatever you do get back is
really slow.
For sure wouldn't take that surgery, right?
Well, you've got to take that surgery to open up the area where the nerves are.
What they do is they go into your column where the nerves are,
and they open it up so that your nerves have more room,
so they're not impinged upon.
I think they call it a disectomy.
They cut some of the disc away, the impinging disc. What is degenerative? What is that when they say degenerate discs?
That's what it is. It's from impacts. Your discs get smaller and more smushed.
Because they're made of, they're a spongy material.
Yes. And the way to combat that is first of all, stretching and yoga are huge.
Spinal decompression is another one that's really good. Spinal decompression is big.
Like those things that people do where they hang by their ankles.
Inversion tables.
Yeah, those are great.
Really?
Great.
I love them.
And I was showing Brendan this one that I do with a kettlebell.
Where you hang off the thing?
Joe is super, real quick, Joe is super flexible.
Yes, he is.
Crazy flexible.
You're kind of weirdly flexible.
It's not weird.
One time we had a meeting and we were talking about doing a show together.
And in front of these executives, he grabs both his ankles and pulls his feet straight up sitting on a couch.
Do you remember that?
I'd never seen it before.
Literally.
I'd never seen it before.
I was like, what the fuck is he doing?
And everybody kind of was like, oh, that's pretty good.
I was like, bro, take it easy.
Literally went and took both his legs like the way a porn chick would do it and just went, ha-da! And I was like bro take it easy literally went took both his legs
like the way a porn chick
would do it
and just went
and I was like
I'm flexible
and the guy
finally there was like
a pause
and the guy goes
how do you do that
he goes
I've just been doing
martial arts my whole life
my body grew around it
grew around it
I was like
alright
well good meeting
I don't remember
what the meeting was about
it was with Eric Tannenbaum
and some other people
and it was about
us doing a TV show
what year was this?
That was probably 1998 or 9.
Story is throwing some heat.
Yeah, Rick Story is a fucking brute.
He's a thick kid.
Yeah, he's a brute.
And he's team takedown, right?
He's training with Hendrix and crew?
I don't think so.
No?
No, I don't think so.
Oh, no, right?
He's with Brave Legion. Oh, shit don't think so. Oh, no, right? He's with Brave Legion.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
He landed a hard left on Mothra.
Oh, shit.
Mothra's a little shaky.
Yeah, he has the lab on his trunk,
so that's with Ben Henderson and John Crouch in Arizona.
Nice.
That's a good spot.
Great spot.
I love John Crouch.
Me too, man.
Big fan.
Big fan of Henderson too.
And they're producing some good fighters, man.
I like what they did with Alex Caceres.
You know, he lost to Uriah Faber, but he did a great job.
It was a good fight.
Top fight for him.
Very tough fight for him.
He was in over his head, but that's a learning fight.
You know, Uriah Faber didn't even start in the WEC until he was a year older than Caceres is now.
Yeah, tough fight.
Yeah.
The amount of experience Uriah has on his side.
How old is Uriah now?
36, I believe.
I want to say 35, 36.
How old is he?
You might be right.
I know Mitrione just turned 36, too.
His birthday was yesterday.
Shout out to Matt Mitrione.
Happy birthday, big Matt.
Meathead's fighting that Lewis cat now.
Huh?
You see that, Joe?
Who's he fighting?
Oh, that big black dude.
They were talking shit to each other.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, Matt, for whatever reason, when they're crowded, he stood up.
Derek Lewis?
Yeah, I gave him Derek Lewis, the throat slash.
Oh, really?
Yeah, now these fools are fighting.
What do you think about that?
I think Matt destroys him.
Yeah.
He's got to be minding his P's and Q's in the standing position.
Matt?
No, Mitchie Owen can crack.
Oh, yeah.
He can crack.
A kid who played in the NFL for six years, Southpaw?
Yeah, he's fast.
In speed?
What?
He's fast, dude.
Watch that Kimbo Slice fight.
Everybody needs to watch that fight.
If you forget what Mitchie Owen can do, if you stand in front of him,
that inside leg kick from the right-hand stance when he fights southpaw,
he throws that snapping inside leg kick and a nasty right hook.
Boom!
I think Lewis is in trouble.
I think it's too much for Lewis right now.
Well, it's a big assignment.
But I'll tell you what, man.
Lewis can bang.
He hits hard.
Heavy hands for sure. Heavy. That ground and pound I'll tell you what, man. Lewis can bang. He hits hard. Heavy hands for sure.
Heavy.
Had ground and pound.
It's ferocious.
Giant man.
Ferocious.
Rick Story working that arm triangle, arm triangle, arm triangle, arm triangle.
Oh, yeah.
Keep that head there, son.
Oh, yeah.
Nope.
Lost the arm position.
So hard.
Rick Story can bang, man.
I was so impressed with him taking all those shots from Calvin Gaslam
and then catching him with that right hand.
Because Calvin was on fire in that fight.
Up until the point when Rick dropped him.
There's a guy who needs to get his diet in order.
Bro.
Yeah, if that's one thing UFC don't mess with, miss and wait.
Yeah. Nothing drives them more nuts than that't mess with, missing weight. Yeah.
Nothing drives them more nuts than that.
Well, he missed it the last time.
And before that, he barely made it on the undercard of the Hendricks fight.
Barely made it.
This is the second time.
What do you get fined for that?
Kelvin Gaslam.
20% I think.
20% of your purse goes to your opponent if you don't make the weight.
Ooh.
Rick Story.
Yeah, beautiful use of the leg to keep his opponent down.
He's just stronger, man.
He's very strong.
He came into 10th Planet one night and submitted everybody.
Did he really?
Yeah, he was strangling dudes.
Jesus.
Strangling dudes.
Putting arm travels on dudes.
Black belts and everybody just beating them.
Well, I don't think there was any black belts there at the time, but good guys.
I don't remember who it was that he rolled with, but I remember Eddie was saying,
Dude, this guy is strong.
And this was before he fought.
He was fighting in the UFC.
I want to say it was about four years ago, three.
He probably walks at 200 pounds, right?
He's a big boy.
He's a big boy.
He's got an interesting style.
A lot of body punches.
Remember, he was supposed to fight Nate Marquardt,
and then Nate, whatever, didn't get cleared because of supplement issues,
testosterone issues.
Right.
So then they put in Charlie Brenneman.
And then Story had all that hype before that.
And Charlie Brenneman goes in there and beats him.
Well, you know what?
That's a weird fight when it's the day of the fight and they change your opponent
and you're the main fight of the night and you've been preparing for this dude
who's a wicked striker and you think you're going to be doing some striking.
And then all of a sudden Brenneman is going for ankle picks
and fucking hanging on your legs, and you're just not
prepared for that.
It's tough, man.
Yeah.
But then what do you do if you're Rick Story?
You're like, nah, man, I'm not taking it.
You can't do that.
Nope.
You're going to be fired.
Send it up your poop hole, son.
Straight up.
Who's Nate fighting again?
Do we know?
We don't know yet.
No, you don't.
Well, not only that, if you're a guy like Rick Story and you're favored above Charlie Brenneman,
you're supposed to think you're going to win that fight anyway, right?
He just was not prepared for that style,
which shows you how important game planning is for specific fighters when it comes to specific opponents.
You know, I mean, he's training for a guy like Marquardt,
and you better best believe that back when he was training for Marquardt,
everybody was scared of Marquardt.
Marquardt was a motherfucker then.
And he was a motherfucker at 185.
Even though he lost to Chael Sonnen, he was still throwing bombs from his back,
throwing elbows, and still dangerous to the very end.
Knocked out Marvin Kampman.
Knocked out Woodley at 170.
Yeah, that was afterwards, actually. That was after he got kicked out Marvin Campman. Knocked out Woodley at 170. Yeah, that was afterwards, actually.
That was after he got kicked out of the UFC.
He got cut, went to Strikeforce, won the belt.
Knocked out Marvin Campman.
He is an absolute monster.
Yeah, he's a monster.
Knocked out Damian Maia with one punch.
Countered his leg kick.
Yeah, boom!
He was doing a flying knee or something.
Took Talley's ladies and put them on his back and pounded them for three
rounds. Yeah, he's beaten
some fucking... Wilson Govea
beat him down. Nate Marquardt
at 185 was a motherfucker. Back at
185. Beat James Tahuna.
He looked good. I think the weight
cut is just too much, man. What'd you say?
The weight cut's just too much. For Tahuna?
For Nate. I think Nate is just like...
70? No. It's just too hard. I mean, he did it withate is just like 70 no it's too hard it's too i mean
he did it with woodley but man he fought at 185 for so long and he was really good at that weight
he's always gonna have a hard time with the wrestlers when you get an elite level wrestler
like a guy like chael they could put you on your back yeah that chael fight he just went in with a
horrible game plan he he was he was doing something camp, and the day of, a certain coach told him to do something,
and there was this flying knee, and you need to land power shots,
so that's why he was getting taken down.
I wonder if Chael would tell everybody,
I mean, if you got popped with EPO,
I want to know how long you've been taking that stuff for.
Bro.
He'd probably tell you, that was the first time I ever tried it.
Ever, man.
Here's the funniest thing.
It was the day before. And you'd believe him. You'd talk to him, and he'd be like, damn, you might be right, was the first time I ever tried it. Ever, man. Here's the funniest thing. It was the day before.
And you'd believe him.
Yeah.
He'd talk you into it.
You'd be like, damn, you might be right, dog.
I've never tried it before.
Somebody told me how to try it.
I tried to figure, when's this going to be out of my system?
They said three weeks.
I said, I'm fine.
So I took it.
There's my luck.
Don't ever cheat.
Where is he?
He got caught with a bunch of stuff.
Have we heard from him?
He's fighting in Metamoros.
He has a match in Metamoros.
He's got a jujitsu match.
But he lost his job on Fox, man.
He's the best they had.
That's so harsh to me.
Well, it doesn't mean he lost it forever.
It means he lost it for now.
He's so good.
What Chael should do is, you know, he had a book, right?
He does have a book, right?
I don't know.
Didn't he put out a book?
I hope he did before this came out.
Put out another one.
Just put out another one.
Do it like Lance Armstrong, dog.
Do it like Lance Armstrong.
Yeah, but Chael's different in that he never lied about it for long periods of time.
He's also sued people.
But it is kind of funny that he was talking shit about Lance Armstrong.
Yeah, about Lance Armstrong.
I didn't want to delay.
Rick Story working on that left arm, by the way.
Poor Chael. He's got a good Kimura, man. He's got a good Kimura. Rick Story working on that left arm, by the way. Poor Jay.
He's got a good Kimura, man.
He's got a good Kimura.
The dude's going to roll and give up the back.
Oh, beautiful transition to the mount.
Look how smooth that was, man.
That was like lightning.
Rick Story is just too much for this guy.
He's just too strong.
That was beautiful.
That mount was textbook.
John Crouch.
Triangle. Here it is. Oh, boy. Yeah, this is what I was talking about. This is what he has. It mount was textbook. John Crouch. There he is. Triangle.
Arm triangle.
Here it is.
Oh, boy.
Yeah, this is what I was talking about.
This is what he has.
It's really good.
He's a beast at this.
That left arm is going to sneak by.
He has to get through.
Oh, nicey.
Nice.
Nice.
Homeboy should be rolling away from it.
Yeah, that's a wrap.
See, they roll into it.
That's a wrap.
Beautiful.
Great jiu-jitsu.
Yeah, that's what he has.
He's got a vicious arm triangle.
There's nothing poor about Chael Sonnen, man.
He did what he did.
He got busted.
I know.
He's a buddy.
He's a buddy to everybody.
I love that guy.
He did great things for the UFC, but then he did bad things for the UFC.
So it negated.
It's right down the fucking middle.
He did good things for the UFC, but then he did bad things for the fucking UFC.
He probably did a lot more good than, you know.
Look at this fucking dilemma.
A lot of guys are doing what he did.
And it's not just him.
They keep busting these people.
Hey, I'm not a fighter.
It's got to be fucking, you know, I've got to ask you something.
He had their Herschel Walkers on the phone with Goldberg.
And Goldberg asked him, what's tougher, MMA training or football training?
You know,
and he said,
actually MMA training.
Oh, yeah, by far.
And it's so funny how,
you know,
and football,
you got those,
you know,
August is a motherfucking football.
You have five weeks
where you got to release.
August is a motherfucker.
But even now in the NFL,
you can't do two,
two a days in a row anymore.
No more?
No, the new players,
they create it
because they said
it's too much on the guys. Yeah. So now have a two-a-day the next day is either a light
day or an off day yeah that's smart you know all that toughness training idea that people had in
their head they're just over training yeah just over training motherfuckers breaking joints
fucking up backs messing up necks yeah a lot of the injuries didn't have to take place.
It's amazing how even after I read the book, The Punch.
The Punch is about when the guy punched Rudy Tomjanovich in basketball in 1978.
After that punch, road teams, you're not allowed to play no more than two basketball road teams
a week.
Yeah.
Like little things.
They realized that it was too much on players.
Too much stress.
So one thing they stopped after that punch was no more,
because they explained in the book,
what people don't know is in those days they flew commercial.
So they got to fly the late flight out and the early flight in.
Yeah, it's not easy.
They can't have it on the airport.
You're not getting sleep. So that's what they stopped. So it's little Yeah, it's not easy. They can't have it on the airport. You're not getting sleep.
So that's what they stop.
So it's little things like that that make adjustments.
But in MMA, going through a training camp, people ask this,
well, what if some freak, what if Vernon Davis,
who's just this freak tied in for the 49ers,
what if he decided to do MMA?
He's such a good athlete.
Man, I'm telling you, when you're going through an eight-week camp
and you're doing two days
and three days for eight weeks,
no one's signing up for that, man.
No one's like, what? No, it's a different type
of bird. Yeah, and the
difference between getting hit and not
getting hit are so
gigantic. The difference between being
an athlete where you never get hit by anything
and then being an athlete where another man
is beating your ass.
Not only that, and you're going to get your ass beat in training.
Everyone's getting their ass beat.
Listen, if you're at a high level, you're not going playing grab ass,
you know, in Orange County at the beach in Newport with some rich dudes.
You're looking for the baddest guys in the world,
and you're saying, I want you to try and whip my ass.
Every day.
I'm going to miss this main card.
Bitch, you ain't going anywhere.
You ain't going anywhere.
What is this show you're doing?
Where's your spot at?
I have to.
I'm closing it.
Get out of here.
Where is it?
What time does it start?
8.
Where is it at?
They'll be fine.
My set is at 8.55.
Your set is fine.
Don't worry about it.
Don't say that.
Where's your show at?
I'm fine.
Down at that West Side Comedy.
Oh, you didn't even want to go there.
Don't go there. Well, I have to. Downtown? Jesus Christ. No, I'm fine. Down at the West Side Comedy. Oh, you didn't even want to go there. Don't go there.
Well, I have to.
Downtown?
Jesus Christ.

Nothing at night.
Santa Monica.
There's vampires.
Santa Monica?
You're in no danger.
Even if you leave now, you're not going to make it, so forget it.
Yeah, stay here.
Call them and talk to them.
Well, it's not that.
You got an hour, right?
It was my watch off.
I got an hour.
Oh, you're straight.
It'll take you 10 minutes to get there.
Shut up.
Yeah.
Oh, shut up.
It'll take you 10 minutes. Please be quiet. I heard Yeah. Oh, shut up. It'll take you 10 minutes.
Please be quiet.
I heard it's a bad crowd, bro.
15 minutes of traffic.
I heard it's rough over there.
I heard the writing.
I'm going to say one thing.
People are angry.
Let me see how we're doing.
It's a lot of bad audience members and shit.
People are drunk.
Some hacks are on right before you.
They're doing all your best bits.
Some guy's doing some shit about how he's built to dance.
Taking a shit.
El Gato, he has.
Because the guy's seen it seven times, so he knows the routine.
No, not the routine.
No.
Brian Callen's going to have to abandon some of that material.
It's going to hurt him badly.
He loves it.
He loves it.
He needs to retire El Gato.
He'd kill me if he did.
He's got a few bits.
He's got a few bits that have been around.
Yeah, they're good, though.
I'll give you that.
It's good.
It's very good.
I've seen it 45 times.
It's hard.
You know what's really hard?
If you don't put them on a CD or a DVD or something, you still have them laying around,
but you never put them on anything, that becomes a real problem.
You don't know what to do with them.
Like, what am I going to do with these fucking bits?
Yeah.
Look at this transition, man.
They're going to show this again.
I love this fucking transition.
The way he hit that arm triangle.
Oh, they're going to show the end of it?
Powerful shitty man in the truck.
The transition between him being in that, him trapping that arm and then hopping across.
Dude, how good did Frankie Edgar look?
Yeah, he looked good.
How bad did BJ look?
He didn't look good.
He's not happy.
BJ's not happy with a lot of things.
Apparently, it was a hard weight cut.
Obviously.
And BJ doesn't use IVs.
Thinks IVs are cheating.
Do you have, he thinks they're cheating?
Yep.
Dang.
He's so gangster.
He's hardcore as fuck.
He's almost too tough. He's almost too tough.
He's almost too tough to default.
You know what I'm saying?
Oh, he's legit.
You wanted to fight like Bob Sapp and shit.
He's legit as fuck.
He was ready to fight Tim Sylvia.
One of the best ever.
I interviewed him way back when he was the lightweight champ, and he said he would have
fought Tim Sylvia.
Well, he fought Liotta Machida and Mitch Franklin too, right?
Yeah.
He fought Liotta Machida.
No, Liotta fought Franklin.
But BJ fought Liotta.
That's right. That's right. He fought Liotto, but no, Liotto fought Franklin. But BJ fought Liotto.
That's right.
But he said, he was when Tim Sylvia was the champ,
and he was like, yeah, you know, I'd fight him.
Hey, you know, you never know what happened.
He might fall down.
I get his back.
Yo, you're batshit crazy.
He's huge.
You never know what's going to happen, you know?
He was serious, though.
Dead serious.
Look at this.
Gabriel Iglesias got a goddamn movie.
Kapow.
Only in movie theaters, son.
Gabriel blow the fuck up.
Strictly by word of mouth.
No TV show.
Just crushing it.
You've got to see him on Chelsea.
Yeah?
And Chelsea's like, how come no tv shows like

road than anybody you would hear about him doing like nine shows in a row in a club
just murdering it for the last month he's been flying into cities just flying into cities
like he took the whole month like he usually takes the summer off not this year for the last month
he's just been flying into cities going into that baddest radio station and saying what do you
motherfuckers want to do tonight and then just setting up a show somewhere? That night? That night.
Crazy.
Wow.
Meeting people.

Mike's excited
I love Mike
He's always walking around
Like what the fuck
Yeah
How you doing
Somebody was talking some shit to Mike Faberman,
and Mike Faberman punched him at the comedy store a couple weeks ago.
And they were telling me about the story.
They said, yeah, somebody was talking some shit to one of these comedians.
He said, go ahead and punch me.
So the guy punched him.
I go, oh, it was Mike Faberman.
I go, it's probably Mike Faberman.
He goes, it's a big guy, big guy with like one of those old school caps,
those paperboy caps.
Mike Faberman. I'm like, that's Mike Faberman. And then, yeah, yeah, it was Mike Faberman. He goes, it's a big guy, big guy with one of those old school caps, those paperboy caps. Mike Faberman.
I'm like, that's Mike Faberman.
And then, yeah, yeah, it was Mike Faberman.
And then I ran into Mike, and he was laughing.
He was like, you knew it was me?
I go, yeah, of course.
You fucking ape.
Ape?
He's crazy.
He's a funny dude, man.
Good cook.
That's what I hear.
Mike Faberman, cook his dick off.
I hear you can barbecue his asshole.
All you got to do is put on Facebook, I'm having a barbecue.
Oh, man.
They'll call you within one hour
And go look up
This is what we're gonna do
Go get 10 pounds of chicken
Go do this
Just make sure you got 15 bitches there
That suck dick
I want professional dick suckers
I want to see resumes
I want to make sure they had chlamydia
Or something
I want to make sure
I go home with a disease.
Barbosa is a monster.
Sounds like a barbecue I want to be at.
Yeah, he will go three hours early, marinate the meat for you, the whole fucking deal.
He really is great.
Yeah, he knows his shit.
Yeah, he really is great.
Here's an interesting statistic.
Edson Barbosa, only fighter in the UFC ever to stop two guys with leg kicks.
Really?
Mike Lulo and Rafael Oliveira.
By the way, that's all in my memory.
Look at that.
Kapow.
Yeah, I can't think of another guy who stopped two.
I might be wrong, but I can't think of another guy who stopped two different people with leg kicks.
Mitrione didn't stop Kimbo with leg kicks?
No, he beat his ass.
I thought Mitrione went like this.
I thought Kimbo went like this.
But not two, but I'm just trying to think of something.
Maybe.
To leg kicks.
Barbosa was all leg kicks with Lulo, Mike Lulo,
and then all leg kicks with Rafael Oliveira.
Barbosa works with Mark Henry, that cat I was telling you about.
Yeah, he loves him.
Loves him.
Loves going down there.
Yeah, that Mark Henry, dude, I was so impressed by your depiction of what that guy does for you.
Yeah.
With Frank Jaeger.
Made me want you to move there.
I don't want to lose you, buddy, but go to Jersey.
Take us to Jersey.
Move them up here.
They probably don't want to be there anymore.
I know.
Come on.
Poor Brandon in Jersey.
He'd be very disappointed.
He'd be miserable.
He'd be smacking people at the gym every day.
You would have to.
Yeah.
People would come up to you.
Jersey, it's all like,
you don't know my mentality.
You know, there's a reason
why I'm not fighting in the UFC.
A lot of it is my prior convictions.
They wouldn't let me in.
But if I got in the UFC, bro,
you don't understand.
I'd go fucking mental.
You don't understand.
I might not have, like,
the best punch.
I might not have the most jiu-jitsu skills or something.
But, bro, my mentality is I don't lose.
I go fucking mental.
My mentality is I don't lose.
Okay?
My fucking family would kill me if I lost.
I'm going to press forward.
I'm going to beat your ass.
And you're going to feel that when you're inside that cage with me, when that door shuts.
When that door shuts.
And you know my mentality. It fucking comes out of me, bro comes out of me i'm like i see red i don't even
know who i am by the time it's over i'll have fucking memory loss but you'll be dead you'll be
dead i'll have memory law i won't even remember what happened it's like i fucking became a monster
that's his jersey that's it that Every guy in Jersey thinks he's something special.
I don't even eat.
I don't even eat.
Just put me in a fucking cage.
Throw bottles in there and just let me loose on Saturday. I could be Cain Velasquez if I was drunk.
I don't even eat.
I fucked Cage up eight years ago in the tournament.
Ask him.
On a Saturday in Arizona, I went down there.
He didn't want to fucking wrestle with me.
The guys who tell stories are the best.
Or the worst.
The best or the worst.
I beat Kevin Randleman five times in the
amateur MMA
before he came. There's no amateur MMA.
That's the next
UFC hidden camera
show is a fighter to
sit with a fucking makeup on.
I wish. With a little camera right here.
With a makeup on.
Like, you're just an old guy sitting in the fucking audience.
Yeah, just go into the gym.
No, you go to the gym and you work out really badly.
Bro, I'll just go in Gold's gym the other day.
I was doing deadlifts.
In the middle of my set, this dude comes up to me.
I'm not going to describe him.
Big dude.
People figure out.
Huge dude. Headphones on. He goes, bro to describe him. Big dude. People figure out. Huge dude.
Headphones on. He goes, bro.
Bro, I don't know this guy at all.
I've seen him maybe twice in there in gold. I'm only there
out of camp. Bro, middle of set.
Bro, take my air butt out. What's up, man?
That Orlovsky fight.
Gotta get better.
Gotta get better. You gotta get a little more aggressive, man.
Your jab. I need more jabs.
I'm not making this up. In the middle of a set. I need more jabs. Oh, no. I'm not making this up.
In the middle of a set?
In the middle of my set?
I need more jabs.
You know what I did?
And I'm still sensitive about it.
I just fought less than four weeks ago.
I had to collect my thoughts.
I went, how many fights do you have, man?
He's all, well, none.
I did some wrestling, and then I'm like, cool.
And I was like, thanks, man.
Just put my headphones on.
Took every ounce.
Not to snap his dick off in Gold's Gym.
Every ounce.
How many fights you had? Not to just grab it and go.
Good for you.
Good for you keeping it together.
That's a good question.
Sitting in the fucking audience doing a fight.
In the real audience.
Not in the UFC section.
I've done it, man.
When I was coming up, for sure.
When you hear them, look at that fucking.
And they show up with their girlfriends.
All roided up.
Everyone's a blue belt
because they bought a tap out shirt.
No, with their sleeves cut off
and they sit there
holding on to their girlfriend.
And after every fight,
they're like, look at that guy.
You see that guy in the corner?
I fucked him up at that tournament.
Makes me sick.
I fucked that guy up at the tournament.
You know what else is brutal?
I went to see Glory kickboxing.
Fantastic fights. Amazing. I heard to see Glory kickboxing. Yeah.
Fantastic fights.
Amazing.
I heard. So much fun.
Really fun.
But when Joe Schilling is fighting, you know, one of his sayings is he can't stop crazy.
Yeah.
So they're all yelling, can't stop crazy.
Like people in the audience, can't stop crazy.
Can't stop.
He's in the middle of a fucking war with one of the best Muay Thai fighters in the world.
He wound up knocking him out in the fourth round.
It was a draw after the third round.
They fought an additional round, wild round, and Schilling caught him with a wicked right
hook on the jaw in a wild scramble.
Boom, flatlines him for the first time in his career.
First time the dude lost.
Anyway, the whole time, can't stop crazy.
Girls, guys, fucking everybody thought, like yelling out, can't stop crazy. He was going to like, you know what? You're right. You can't stop crazy. Girls, guys, fucking everybody thought yelling out can't stop crazy was going to like, you
know what?
You're right.
You can't stop.
Who fucking crazy now?
Woo!
The best is when you hear, knock him out.
Rip his head off.
Go to the body.
Knock him out.
You're neglecting the body.
I just want to be like, time out.
Bitch, I'm trying.
I am trying.
What do you think I'm trying to do?
What do you hear when you're in there?
How is Barbosa?
Nothing.
I don't hear any of it.
I can hear my coach.
I listen to the other corner a lot of the time, but I can hear the corners talking.
But you don't hear the audience.
It's just who's on there.
You can hear boos and cheers for sure.
Dog, let me tell you how bad Atlantic City is.
Insurance didn't even let Ariane go.
Ariane is not there.
They only put Buffer.
Ariane's got that TV show now, man.
Overhauling, right?
Dude, Evan Dunham just cracked him with a right hook.
He landed a right hook in that exchange.
What type of TV show?
She's in Overhaul.
Overhaul.
What's Overhaul?
Overhaul is my friend Bud's show.
Oh, snap.
That was a show where they take cars, they steal them from people, they fix them up.
What is Dunham's background?
I don't know enough about him.
He's a jiu-jitsu black belt.
He was also a ballet guy.
I don't think you know.
We danced against each other in the Nutcracker.
He's got good fucking striking.
He landed another right hook on the exchange after that kick.
Dude, Evan Dunham is no joke on the feet.
That's why I was surprised at them saying that he has to take him down.
He's moving real good.
And he's training a lot with Ray Sifo.
Ray has done a lot of work with him, kickboxing.
Oh, Dunham landed a nice left hand there.
That's what I said.
Don has been in the freaking tattoo chair.
Get tatted up.
Yeah, he's got his back and side are done up.
Ooh, the ribs hurt.
Yeah, that's the most painful spot, apparently.
Tagged him.
Look at this.
Work on that single.
He's good.
One thing that Don him is, he's fucking relentless.
Yeah, always. He's good. One thing that Donovan is, he's fucking relentless. Yeah, always.
Relentless.
He's been jobbed a couple of times, too.
The Sean Shirk fight.
I thought he won that fight.
It was a good fight.
That was a real good fight.
So Sean Shirk is done?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sean's just had too many injuries.
A little too much time in the game.
It's all about wrestling.
What about the guy from AKA?
Fitch?
No, the other guy.
Which one?
Kostchak.
Yeah.
Josh.
He moved.
Right, he opened up
his own gym.
Ooh, nice knee to the body
there by Bozo.
Josh has done it.
You know, Josh has been
in the game for a long time.
Right, right.
No, I don't know.
I don't see him
on any cards coming up.
Yeah, well, he lost
to Robbie Lawler.
First round knockout.
That was his last fight.
I don't know if he's got
anything scheduled right now.
Remember how Dunham was on this crazy hot streak,
and then they gave him Melvin Gileard,
and he knocked him out with that knee?
Gallard was on fire in that fight.
That was prime Melvin.
When Melvin's on point, he's terrifying.
Melvin Gallard on point is one of the best.
One of the best.
Dunham's not afraid.
He's coming right in, man.
Look at this.
But Donald Cerrone kind of ate his heart.
Yeah, he did.
That was a crazy fight.
In Denver, that's right.
Crazy fight.
Back and forth.
Shin kick and then the right hand behind it wobbled him with the shin kick.
And then boom!
He shinned him in the head off the left switch.
This is an interesting fight, man.
But I gave Dunham way more credit than whoever was doing the commentary with the stand-up.
He's pretty slick.
Yeah, you called it before.
You said one thing people aren't talking about is...
Oh, no.
Dude.
He got nailed in the balls, it looked like.
Is that balls or the liver?
In the body, in the body.
Was it?
Yeah, I believe so.
It's hard to tell.
It looked like he was indicating that it was his balls.
Oh, that was crazy. Was he indicating that it was his balls or was he indicating that he got hit in the body? No, he got hit in the body. Was it? Yeah, I believe so. It's hard to tell. It looked like he was indicating that it was his balls. Oh, that was crazy.
Was he indicating that it was his balls, or was he indicating that he got hit in the body?
No, he got hit in the body.
Well, they'll show it again.
They'll show it again.
I hope it was the body.
You know what Machito was telling me?
If you get kicked in the body like that, what do you got to do?
Fall to your back, have them get in your guard so you can recover, you can grab them.
Yeah.
Because most guys aren't just going to jump in, so it buys you time.
True.
Since he was a kid, that's what he's learned to do.
Four kick-related KOs, TKOs, most in UFC history.
Man, he kicks.
You can't do much against that.
Man, interesting, interesting.
I want to see the real crew play.
Yeah, me too.
Let's see this guy.
This is nuts.
Because by the way he was indicating.
Oh, no, right in the solar plexus.
Oh, bro, nothing worse.
Right in the solar plexus.
But it didn't look that clean. No, it didn't. It was like a foot. Look at this. Let's see itus. Oh, bro. Nothing worse. Right in the solar plexus. But it didn't look that clean.
No, it didn't.
It was like a foot.
Look at this.
Let's see it again.
Yeah, it grazed him.
Weird.
Right up top in the solar plexus.
Weird.
Damn.
Weird.
Grazing with the toes.
Gentlemen, I love you.
I got to go.
Oh, you savage.
Go do the funny.
Look at this, man.
Oh, definitely had an impact.
His toes got in there, huh?
Yeah, his toes just dug into his solar plexus.
Man, crazy. Oh, look at that. Just right in there in there, huh? Yeah, his toes just dug into his solar plexus. Man, crazy.
Oh, look at that.
Just right in there.
That's tough.
All right, boys.
Crazy.
Yeah, I never thought about when he hit to the body to just go to your butt and recover,
try and get in your guard.
At least it buys you time.
Yeah, and if he doesn't do that, he kicks your legs.
Exactly, which is cool.
You're not going to finish the fight.
Yeah.
You know who did that?
Vitor.
He fought John Jones. That's right. Front leg side kick him in the body. Yeah. You know who did that? Vitor. He fought John Jones.
That's right.
That's right.
Front leg sidekick him in the body.
Yep.
He went right to his body.
Yeah.
This is one of the rare times you saw a front leg sidekick being utilized like that, like
to the body.
Yep.
John Jones, man.
Scary dude.
There's Mark Henry right there.
There he is.
The man.
The myth.
When are you going to train with him again?
I don't know, man.
It'll take some time.
Go down there.
It's a good time to be in New Jersey.
Look at powerful.
Gabriel Iglesias is blowing the fuck up.
Who's the hottest comics right now?
Him and Kevin Hart?
Yeah.
Tosh.0?
No.
He's a really good comic, but...
Tosh is big because of Comic Central, right?
Those guys are on another level.
Him and Kevin Hart's the biggest right now.
Kevin Hart's number one.
Killing it.
Cat Williams is on his way back, I'll tell you that.
I saw his new shit.
He's so funny, though.
Cat Williams' new shit is hilarious, dude.
He had a new thing that somebody filmed and put it up on YouTube.
I don't know if it's up anymore because I think it was his new special that somebody filmed in the audience.
It was an audience YouTube camera.
Dude, kid's on fire. He's back, 100%. And I didn't like his last special that somebody like filmed in the audience it was like an audience YouTube camera dude kid's on fire
he's back
100%
and I didn't like
his last special
I didn't think his last special
was like as focused
I didn't think it was as good
as his previous shit
getting arrested
every fucking day
how can you be focused
dude it's funny
his new shit is funny
why was he getting arrested
so much
getting crazy
talking about drugs
talking about some drugs
I don't know
he's getting crazy well you
don't do that if you just eat mcdonald's you know what dude i don't think you can get a fucking real
comedian that's not at least partially crazy whenever i hear a funny guy who's doing some
crazy shit you hear about him doing something demons so if you're funny at some demons i don't
know if it's demons but impulsive comedians are nuts the the ability to go up there
and get into a cage and duke it out with some dude to the average person they're not going to
understand you so when you start telling crazy stories that scares them away yeah they're not
gonna know who is this fucking guy the guy like me i embrace that i said it's so warm i'm like yes
tell me more like my friend tate same way like way. Tate will tell you some crazy fucking stories.
You just want to give him a hug and giggle with him.
For sure.
Because he's a savage, and he loves fellow savages.
You run into a dude that is living a life like yours.
If you're some cat that's like a doctor or a lawyer
or tries to keep it on the up and up all day,
they're not going to know what the fuck to do with you.
Well, a lot of comics are the same way, man.
Plus they tell you some stupid-ass stories.
Yeah, a lot of comics are the same way, man.
A lot of comics are just maniacs.
I mean, I keep it together as much as possible,
but I know a lot of comedians are just maniacs.
And you hear about them doing something crazy,
and you're like, yeah, I saw that coming.
So we hear about a guy like Cat Williams,
he's funny as fuck, just getting arrested all over the place
and doing nutty shit and screaming at an audience.
You're like, yeah, he's got an engine in there, man.
Sometimes that fucker overheats.
Sometimes he blows a rod.
I think the toughest thing, maybe the same with comics,
is you guys are on the road and you've got to be on.
There's so much stimulus all the time.
When I get home, I have anxiety.
I can't
like sit down and relax i have to make myself busy i have to have stuff going on really well i have a
family so it's very different so when i get home i chill out i just hang out with the little ones
and just have a good time yeah i like to get in the pool and i've learned how to do that yeah i
bet over the last few years of my life i've've learned how to really, really relax and just shut my phone off. Don't answer any emails. Don't look at my, uh, you know, I don't do anything.
I don't read the news. I don't do shit for hours at a time. Cause if I don't do anything,
I feel like I'm slack and being lazy. Well, there's certain times that I definitely feel
like that too. There's definitely times that I feel like that too. But as long as I've covered
all my bases, as long as I get all my shit done,
but I can't enjoy a vacation if I don't get
all my shit done.
I've also found that.
Then if I haven't
got my shit done,
it eats at me.
I get anxiety.
Dude, like I went to Cancun
after that Orlovsky fight.
Literally all I could think about
was the Orlovsky fight
and how I'm going
to change strength.
All I did.
You could have put me
in Nebraska
and it would have been
the exact same.
It wouldn't matter where I was.
The beach was great.
No that matter.
The food I could care less about.
You're just thinking about the most important thing.
That's it.
Yeah.
There's no way around that, man.
If you want to get great at something, you have to have madness.
And the only way you're ever really going to appreciate a significant growth moment in your life,
like a big loss where you just really felt like shit,
you've got to feel that pain.
You've got to feel that pain so it motivates a change.
You've got to feel that pain so that you up your training.
Crazy, man.
He towed him.
That's weird.
Not a hard shot.
Towed him in the gut.
Nothing in Evan Dunham's defense or nothing's worse than getting hit there, man.
It's true, but Dunham is tough as shit.
Beast.
It's just so unusual.
I agree.
Seeing him get lit up like that.
Wow.
It's crazy because that easily could have been in any other fight.
I mean, no doubt about it, it hurt like fucking hell.
I mean, Evan Dunham is tough as shit.
If he went down, he's a reason.
But in any other fight, that would have just been an exchange
when nothing happened and the fight kept going.
Weird.
But Bozer can crack, though.
That's what that's all about.
Bozer's a beast.
Yeah, he kicks fucking hard, man.
It's fucking 11 o'clock in New Jersey.
And these savages are still out.
And it's Wednesday night.
Yeah, it's Wednesday night.
And these savages are still out.
Most of them still have to do a two.
Oh, shit.
Ronda's girl.
Two fighters.
Ronda's roommate.
Jessamyn Duke. Jessamyn Duke Jessamyn Duke
One of the four
Horsemen
Horsewomen
Horsewomen
I don't even know what you call them
Yeah what is that about
Horsewomen
Well it's
Jessamyn
The other girl who fights in the UFC
Marina
And Ronda
Oh this chick moves good
That chick moves good
She's part of the squad
She's on the Ronda program.
Yeah, but there's another one, her opponent.
The other one's a beast.
Yeah, her opponent.
Super beast.
Moves good.
Yep.
I think she took out an eight-day notice, too.
Frankie Edgar said he'd fight Uriah Faber at 140.
Ooh, I'd love to see that fight.
If the right situation arises, he says.
Holy shit.
It'd be a great fight.
Why don't they just fight at 145?
I agree. Uriah fought at 145 they just fight at 145? I agree. I mean, Raya fought at
145 before.
He could do it. I agree.
For Frankie, that's gotta be a hard
ass cut. Another five more pounds?
I bet he could do it.
Look at Mel Gibson, hating Jews, still making
motherfucking movies.
That badass motherfucker.
I guess this is the
Stallone production.
He can do whatever the fuck he wants.
Yeah, they film in Bulgaria because you don't have to pay the same as taxes
and you don't have to get permits to blow shit up.
So he does it in Bulgaria because they're just like, cool, dog.
Blow up whatever you want.
Stallone.
Gotta hire him.
There's never been a dude closer to 70 that's still kicking ass in a convincing manner.
I agree.
He just jumped off a building onto a helicopter in a movie and he's 70.
Straight up.
Straight up.
He just jumped off of a fucking building onto a helicopter and he's 70 like this.
With only one lip that moves.
Bro, you know what kind of chicken heads he's dealing with?
Oh my goodness.
Sylvester Stallone?
50-year-old chicken heads.
Fuck.
You got to up your chicken head the number, the age, where you tolerate him.
Wasn't Sylvester Stallone.
You think?
I don't think.
I think he's like a 23, 24-year-old still.
He won't take pictures with women.
Did you know that?
Smart.
Because his wife?
Yeah, remember somebody was telling us?
Was I with you?
Yeah, he probably doesn't want to do it.
Doesn't take pictures with women.
No women.
Because you don't want to deal with the drama.
Another man and a woman. But with women. No women. Because you don't want to deal with the drama.
Don't take a picture with another man and a woman.
But no women. You know what?
Arnold's the same exact way.
Arnold's the same way.
Too late, Arnold.
Yeah, too fucking late.
Me and him took a picture and he goes, oh, and he had his assistant get in.
I was like, I don't know this bitch.
They get this assistant in here.
Put her in the picture.
He did that every time.
Yeah, every time.
It has to be for some reason because, you know,
these chicken heads are going to keep it and then post and say,
no, look at this, we were here, and then he raped me or whatever the bullshit.
It certainly probably can happen.
Boom, bop, bop, bop, bop.
So the next fight is?
Jessamyn Duke.
Yeah, Jessamyn Duke.
I think that fight already happened, son.
It did.
Yeah.
It already took place.
So, Cerrone Miller is the next fight.
No, they're going to put it in to match the time.
Yeah.
They're going to put it in to match the time.
Probably ended early or some shit.
Oh, no, it did happen early.
That's what I'm saying.
No, but it probably ended early.
So, it'll be a fast fight.
I'm sorry.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
You know, first round stoppage, and right now it's only 8.15.
So they've got to fill 9 to 10.
They've got to fill 45 minutes, I told you.
Yeah, 45 minutes.
So this is probably a first round fight.
Yeah.
I'll put the other one in.
There you go, 9 o'clock. It's over.
Powerful woman's been a way about.
Dana White still not making a fucking appearance in Atlantic City, I told you.
He's up in his room with 18 fucking bodyguards.
They even called Kimbo Sliceback
just a guard out there.
Dookie's got some
long reach, son. Oh, shit.
Good right hand by the other girl.
Jessamyn only has, I think, her record's three in one real quick yeah she lost her last
fight yeah she's three in one i think might be four in one who did she fight in her last fight
uh she fought homegirl who uh threw up the four what's her name uh has that weird name brazilian
amanda nunez. I forget her name.
Betch?
Oh, Petra Gojera.
Yep.
Yeah.
Yeah, they were shocked that she lost that fight, but I didn't think she... I agree.
I didn't think it was...
I didn't think it was shocking.
Yep.
Like, they were like, what the hell?
Like, her whole corner was like, what?
Oh, I know.
And I was like, come on.
Did you watch the fight?
She didn't do much.
She's talented, though.
She's got good striking. I like her length fight? She didn't do much. She's talented, though.
She's got good striking.
I like her length, too.
Yeah, super long.
She just has to use her reach.
Good front kick to the body.
It's got to be really hard being a lot of these girls knowing that Ronda is at the top of the food chain.
It's just the level of athleticism you're dealing with when you're dealing with her.
Damn, she's getting blasted, son.
She is.
Just standing straight up.
One of these chicks probably got a picture around her wall.
She's drinking raw eggs.
It's going to be just like fucking Rocky 20 years later.
Take her to the fucking ropes.
Five rounds.
They'll do a rematch.
They'll sell the most fucking pay-per-views.
Chael Sonnen will make a comeback by then.
EPO free.
EPO free.
Fucking everything fucking free.
They'll give him somebody.
Hey, what are they going to do?
Speak of this, okay?
Brian was talking about this guy, Aubrey de Grey, that he interviewed recently.
Yeah.
Who's an anti-aging specialist.
If they do figure out a way to reverse aging, what the fuck would they do if all of a sudden Randy Couture looked like he was 30 years old again and he's inside the octagon?
It'd be dope.
How weird would that?
How weird?
Oh, shit.
Damn, this girl's teeing off.
Oh, shit.
Oh, my goodness.
Great body shot.
I told you this chick looked good. You better get Ronda on the phone, cocksucker. Oh, this fight's Oh, shit. Damn, this girl is teeing off. Oh, shit. Oh, my goodness. Great body shot. I told you this chick looked good.
You better get Ronda on the phone, cocksucker.
Oh, this fight's over, son.
You better call Ronda on the bat phone.
It's over.
Wow.
I told you she looked good.
Yeah, she did look good.
The chick can strike.
Eight-day notice, son.
Eight-day notice.
She took this fight in eight days?
Yeah.
Damn, she can strike, man.
She can strike.
You better watch out.
You beat her any faster, you're going to piss Ronda off.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Then you got a fight On your hand son
Well
All you have to do
Is have a few of those
And you're going to have
A fight on your hand anyway

Look at that left to the body, the right, boom, knee to the shoulder.

And she even adjusted the knee when she saw she was going down and went to the shoulder.
She's not eating for a week now at the Ronda household.
No.
You lost.
You lost.
We don't do that.

Nobody else showed up.
Bro, I flew on the plane with Buffer from the Expo.
Oh, no, please.
That didn't happen.
Classic.
I have to earbud with him.
We talked the entire 50 minutes nonstop about girls.
Oh, no, you didn't.
Oh, yeah.
Don't tell me anymore.
It's classic.
Don't tell me anymore because I'll start crying.
Powerful John Anik with a sweet purple tie on.
I hate how guys wear three-piece suits.
Leslie Smith throwing down.
Very impressed.
Seven and five.
She's tough, man.
Super tough.
Yeah, I don't like the three-piece suit either.
They gave me a jacket.
I stopped wearing the jacket. I wore the jacket for a little while, but I'm like, come on. You're. They gave me a jacket. I stopped wearing the jacket.
I wore the jacket for a little while, but I'm like, come on.
You're Joe Rogan, huh?
What am I wearing this jacket?
You're Joe Rogan.
What are you trying to do?
I'm built like a bridge troll.
They don't really make jackets that work.
Well, they do.
You look like Oddjob from James Bond.
They don't work.
You don't want that.
Yeah.
I looked very boxy.
Yes.
Because to a man with narrow shoulders like a John Anik, more of a feminine gentleman,
a beautiful man, perfect skin. Kenny Florin would pull off a suit now. He could pull off a suit. narrow shoulders like a John Anik, more of a feminine gentleman, beautiful man, perfect skin.
Can he floor in and pull off a suit now?
Perfect.
He can pull off a suit.
I look like an ape.
I look like someone trying to dress up a monkey.
I love me some suit.
I just can't have that extra clothing.
I just got too much East and West going.
It's not you either.
You know what I'm saying?
It's just not you.
Yeah, I feel like a loser.
Yeah.
I feel like a loser.
I do.
I put a suit on.
I feel like a loser.
I do.
I'm not kidding.
I feel like some guy who's-
You feel uncomfortable.
Sucking the man's dick. Sucking dick for the man with my fucking suit on and feel like a loser. I do. I'm not kidding. I feel like some guy. You feel uncomfortable. Sucking the man's dick.
Sucking dick for the man with my fucking suit on.
Sucking dick for the man.
Had you in a three.
They could have start you off in something a little more subtle.
Can't put you in a three piece.
I got to get a nice neck choke in there.
Show you traditional.
I'm very traditional with my ties.
It's just pathetic.
It's a silly outfit.
And not only that, it's an outfit that leaves you vulnerable to attack.
I don't like having a fucking handle around my neck.
Yeah, it's tough.
I'm sorry.
I've been collar choked a gang of times.
Super uncomfortable.
I've been Ezekieled many a day.
I've been caught with that fucking clock choke that guys get.
Where they come around.
Where they go like that and they go under the arm.
That's nasty.
That's a nasty choke
And that's all about your collar
Why would you have a tie on
If you had a tie on
And it's a strong tie
You're a dead man
You're screwed
You're a dead man
Well they weren't thinking about that
Cause everyone's
No one's worried about that
The thing is
Oh shit
Oh it's coming next
If you
If a guy has a tie on
Okay
And you slip your hand around that knot
So it's not gonna change
So it's not gonna slip in or out You're around that knot so it's not going to change so it's not going
to slip in or out you're controlling that knot and then you start cranking yeah and you get it like
you get side control on this motherfucker and you start cranking on that knot he's a dead man yeah
that's if you decide he's dead he's dead you left a handle on your neck if you do if billy from you
know the nine to five office does it they're straight you know yeah well that's true but i'm
saying someone who's choked guys before.
Just any strong person who understands the move.
It's not a complicated move.
Ezekiel chokes?
No.
Anything where you're collar choking?
I can teach you that.
Carlin did it with two fingers.
Just freaking snapping that.
But if you teach somebody this one where you reach back with the hand like the karate chop
and you grab the back of the neck and then you do this one right here.
You get through it.
God damn, there's so much power in that.
You teach someone that first day, they kill somebody.
First day.
First day, they got a submission jacket, but three-piece?
No.
Yeah.
UFC Fight Pass.
I'm a member.
Fight Pass.
Who's not a member?
I love the fact they're being proactive, putting all these fights on the internet.
In the future, that's going to be where it's at, man.
For sure.
You're going to have a Fight Pass app that's going to be on your television or just whatever,
and you're going to be able to watch shit live.
Well, that's like Apple TV, right?
Yeah.
Apple TV, Netflix, all that stuff.
Yep.
Yep.
Powerful Brian Stan.
A little too handsome, a little too big.
Stan next to Brian.
They look a little weird.
It looks like he won them in some sort of contest.
John Anik has different hands.
Donald Cerrone, Jim Miller, 6 and 7.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, that's a beast of a...
What a division.
What a division.
I hope Josh Thompson gets some good fights in.
You know, he's like 35, 36 now.
He was going to retire, right?
He was thinking about that last one.
He's thinking about retiring.
I think it was just...
Don't give him that number four, though.
Don't give Thompson number four.
Khabib.
Khabib.
What?
No joke.
Don't give anybody that guy.
He's also another guy where everyone's like, who wants to fight Khabib?
Everyone's like, I don't know.
Maybe next week.
Oh, I got something coming up.
No, you don't.
Who wants to throw down with the crazy Q-tip?
What?
When he comes out with that...
The Russian hat, right?
The Khabib crazy hat on?
That shit is warm.
That dude's scary good.
That dude's scary good.
Yeah, he's wrestling.
It's no joke.
And he's aggressive as fuck.
Plus, he comes from a place where death is just a
normal part of life you know it's a very dangerous part of russia well they they showed him freaking
choking out grizzly bears and shit at four years old while i was playing grab it here we go man
god damn this is gonna be a fun fight yeah it's gonna be super fun i hope it goes a little while
so we can see the game plans.
Donald has that tricky jiu-jitsu.
Yeah.
And then Jim Miller just has that straight traditional badass black belt jiu-jitsu.
He fucking submitted Komois.
Now that's big, man.
Huge. That's big. With an arm bar? Yeah huge that's the arm bar yeah from the guard from the guard son komois a hoyler gracie black belt old school jiu-jitsu black belt who's
been around a while fabrizio known for his jiu-jitsu so for him to be on top and for the
way he did it too was so slick slid that shin across the face, and then slapped that bitch on.
Jim Miller's got a serious fucking guard.
Real technical guard.
I mean, if these two grappled, if it was just a straight metamorphs or something like that in worlds, Jim Miller would, I think, kind of own Cerrone on the ground.
Really?
You think so?
I do.
Wow.
I think he'd put a, just because his positioning does a lot more jiu-jitsu than a gi.
He's known for his jiu-jitsu.
Wow. I think just because his positioning does a lot more jiu-jitsu than a gi. He's known for his jiu-jitsu. However, in the UFC, Donald has these couple of moves where you just can't duplicate in practice.
And by the time you realize your continent, it's too late.
How do you think this fight goes down?
Oh, man.
Does it depend on which Donald Cerrone shows up?
Yeah.
I mean, look, we all know how talented Donald is.
And sometimes, more times than not, he's showing up and you're in trouble.
I think Donald has a lot more ways to finish this fight.
But I think it's the toughest fight Donald's had in a long time.
Wow.
I would agree with you with that.
I think it's a real close fight.
And I think that Donald, when he's on, and he's been on a lot lately,
he seems to me like a
dude who's turned the corner like he realizes that you know what he might have had some some
lapses in his career where he didn't fight at his best donald's also a guy who is a wild when i talk
about not being able to rest not be able to turn it off you're talking about donald who's wrestling
freaking jaguars and shit and jumping off mountains and driving Harley Davidsons into walls and shit.
He's a whole other level.
And now Donald's not single anymore.
He has a fiance who's kind of calmed him down,
so now he's focused more on fighting.
I think he's won every fight since.
I mean, the Dos Angeles fight he lost.
What is he coming out to?
What songs has he got?
Cowboy?
No, what is this?
Always, CCR.
She was a long, cool woman in a black dress.
Yep.
Always CCR.
Dang, look at him.
He looks like he's ready to have some fun.
Yeah.
How crazy, he's born in Sparta, New Jersey.
Sparta.
We were born in high school.
Sparta High.
That's hilarious, though.
I mean, you want to talk about a perfect place for a fighter to be born.
Sparta.
Both of you guys are from New Jersey?
Yeah.
Born similar?
Well, he's from Cuba.
You're from Cuba.
Yeah.
This is crazy, man.
Such a good fight.
I love this fight.
Very excited.
Can't believe it's about to happen. This is the best feeling. Not the best, but it's a good fight. I love this fight. Very excited. Can't believe it's about to happen.
This is the best feeling.
Not the best, but it's a great feeling.
It's good, yeah.
Like, right before a big fight starts and you know it's going to go down,
ooh, boy.
There's something about being there live, too, that gives an extra little kick.
When you're, like, cage side for Chris Weidman, Liotta Machida,
right before that shit went down.
I was just goose bumpy.
My feet were like my heels were bobbing up and down.
I was like, oh, shit.
You know, jumping my knees up and down.
I was like, oh, my goodness.
Here we go.
Especially a fight where you don't know what the fuck is going to happen, man.
Like this one.
Like the Machida-Weidman fight, man, I was blown away.
Me too.
I've never been so impressed with a fighter.
With Weidman, I was like, damn, he's the truth.
He's an animal.
Straight animal.
He's a tank.
Ran through everything Machida threw at him.
Machida staggered him in the fifth round.
He's still waving him on.
Like, come on.
That's a champ, man. Come on.
That's a champ.
He's an animal, man.
For his run, he's going to have, well, he's right now in his prime, you know. He's at his best right now. He's a tough, man. For his run, he's going to have...
Well, he's right now in his prime, you know?
He's at his best right now.
He's a tough guy to beat.
He's super tough to beat.
For a long time.
I think Jock Rays could give him some issues.
Maybe.
I think he's going to do well against Vitor if that is next.
I think Vitor's going to have a real problem with his hormones.
That's what I think, too.
But if he doesn't... I think Luke Rockhold's going to have a real problem with his hormones. That's what I think, too. But if he doesn't...
I think Luke Rockhold's going to be a tough matchup for him.
Luke Rockhold's a tough matchup for everybody.
He's tough for everybody.
He's long, he's big.
You know, he caught TRT Vitor in his prime.
What do you mean caught?
You mean when he kicked his eye off?
Yeah, when Vitor wheel kicked him in the head.
When he flew 18 hours to Brazil and got kicked in the face?
Yes.
Yeah, I mean, he caught TRT Victor.
You don't want that.
Vitor at his very prime.
Let's go, cowboy.
It's going to be interesting to see what the difference is in his performance
now that they're telling him he can't take testosterone anymore.
I agree.
Very interesting.
People don't think that's a big factor.
What? It's night and day think that's a big factor. What?
It's night and day.
It's a totally different world.
It's like taking a playbook from Peyton Manning and being like, yeah, let's see how he does.
Well, it's like changing your body structure and giving your body the thing that it needs to recover the most.
I mean, there's a bunch of factors.
Especially at his age, though.
Yeah, exactly.
His age and, you know and all those years of sparring
and training and fighting.
Here we go, baby.
Powerful Atlantic City.
They don't give a fuck.
They all want this to be over so they go to White Castle
and get down. That's what they're
really throwing down tonight.
They're busting out the fucking hammers and the left hooks.
It's over after this.
These motherfuckers are fired up.
Isn't it funny they put Vaseline all over your face, and then you grapple,
and your head goes to a guy's chest, and then your shoulders go to the guy's chest,
and then you got Vaseline on your shoulders.
Covered in it.
And then, you know, you're both scrambling on the ground,
so his back and your back, and everybody's covered in Vaseline.
True.
I don't like how long Cowboys' shorts are.
You remember the old days when they used to let the corners put Vaseline on?
Yeah.
What?
Before Phil Nurse.
Dude.
Phil Nurse was rubbing it on GSP's chest and pretending like,
oh, we're doing voodoo on him.
Bitch, you're putting Vaseline on him.
You just put Vaseline on him you just put
vaseline on his face and now you're coming up with some reason why you need to do circles around his
chest with your greasy ass hand because the he gsp was seeing this dude who called himself the
witch doctor and he had all these weird things we'd line your chakras and you would like they
would rub the chest and touch the back of your head and all this good shit. The shit worked, though. The fool's undefeated.
It worked.
It worked.
So the voodoo killer Matt Serra said, uh-uh, uh-uh.
It was actually post-Matt Serra that he was doing all that.
That makes sense.
You got the guy's number.
Let me know.
Well, that's the one who's married to his ex-manager who's suing him.
Oh, all right.
Yeah.
They used to call homeboy the witch doctor.
Powerful Dan Mergley ought to rock on the gray beard like a gangster.
Oh, boy, here we go.
This is going to be interesting, too, because Miller's from New Jersey.
Miller's from New Jersey.
Cowboy's a slow starter.
Miller's not.
Yeah, crazy local power energy coming towards Jim Miller.
The whole town of Sparta's in the house.
Everyone's wearing camo.
Yeah, but the last time Miller fought in New Jersey was against Healy,
and Healy schooled him.
That was a tough fight for him.
That's true.
Remember, at East Rutherford, they fought.
And he won both bonuses and lost them because he tested positive for marijuana, right?
Yes, he tested positive for marijuana.
That was not a good fight for Miller.
No.
That's right.
Yeah.
Damn, he's a 205 underdog.
That's surprising.
Yeah.
Well, maybe it's because of that Pat Healy fight.
That was the last time they saw him here in New Jersey.
That's true, but Pat Healy and Donald Cerrone are completely different fighters.
No doubt.
No doubt.
Yeah, completely different styles, no doubt.
Yeah, completely different.
Yeah, why do you think he wears those long, crazy shorts?
He usually doesn't do that.
I don't know what he's doing.
Well, they're slid up to size.
He's not going to have a hard time kicking with them.
But my only issue ever with those shorts.
You can grab on them.
Yeah.
You can grab them.
Even if you get penalized, you're still grabbing.
Like, spandex is the way to go.
If you grab the short and take someone down and say, hey, Shob, don't grab the shorts.
Oh, cool, I'm in full amount.
Thanks, bro.
You know what I'm saying?
Exactly.
Oh, won't do it again, Herb.
My bad.
It's like when someone grabs a fence to avoid a takedown.
That should immediately be a point off.
Immediately be a point off.
Point off or you start down.
Or you touch it, you're done.
Something along those lines.
Because you can't just allow someone to stop a takedown and then they can land a big shot. By the way, Jose Aldo, Chad Mendes, you're done. Yeah, something along those lines. Because you can't just allow someone to stop a takedown,
and then they can land a big shot.
By the way, Jose Aldo, Chad Mendes, exactly what happened.
Aldo grabs a cage, and then boom, lands a knee to the face of Mendes.
That fight's getting intense.
Woo, they're talking a lot of shit.
He accused Mendes of PEDs, right?
And then Mendes accused him of PEDs.
Because he backed out of the fight.
He said he backed out of the fight right after random drug testing was announced.
Because he didn't want to do what happened to him.
Might have been the best thing for the fight for it to get canceled.
Ooh, Cowboy's starting out fast.
Yeah, juice up the interest in it.
Cowboy's got that nice knee to the body.
I was just talking about that.
The nice knee to the body he does off that right leg.
The only problem is with a guy like this, he's going to time that knee and take him
down eventually.
Maybe.
That right is nasty, though.
That knee to the body is painful.
Super nasty.
It makes you hesitate on all your shots.
Fucking hurts, man.
He did it again.
He's looking for it again.
Big left, Doug.
Oh, good to the body.
Cowboy just needs to get his sweat on.
He needs to be about two minutes in and he'll be straight.
It's early.
He scares me.
Well, that early war with Barboza, man, that was fantastic.
That was when he went with the jab.
But before that, he was in trouble.
Well, he was getting caught, but he looked okay.
I mean, obviously, he was fine.
But Barboza really tried to take it to him.
Barboza knows the knock on him, jumps on him.
And Barboza works with Henry, right?
There's that knee to the body again, too.
Well, you know, they know. They know to jump on him, jumps on him. And Barboza works with Henry, right? There's that knee to the body again, too. Well, you know,
they know. They know to jump on him.
Oh, yeah. So Miller's got him up against Cage here.
This is very
interesting here. See, oh,
Donald's got sharp, sharp
knees. Knees and elbows. Yeah,
in the clinch. Very
sharp.
Interesting, though, the difference between a guy like that
There it goes
There it is
Gotta be careful with Donald down here though
Like I said he's tricky
He's trying to set up a triangle right now
See how he has
Nice Donald
Scramble
Beautiful scramble
Damn
Very nice
Wrist control
Threaten off the back
And then get back up to his feet in the transition.
Oh!
Nice straight right.
Nice straight right.
Another one.
Cowboy for a while there was in Denver just wrestling all the time.
Wrestling nonstop.
Who was he wrestling with?
Lee Sturr Bowling, our old wrestling coach. Shane Carman, my wrestling coach. I like that he wrestling with uh uh lee stir bowling our old uh wrestling coach
shane carwin my wrestling coach i like that he stops him with that left knee just to create
distance to put space in between him and miller he's very good at using his knees both offensively
and defensively he's like more offensive it seems with the right knee but that left knee very good defensively. Ooh.
Dang, he's loading up that left hand.
He's faking the takedown coming up top.
Good kick to the body by Miller.
This wrestling coach, where does he coach out of?
Out of Muscle Farm Gym.
Legit wrestling coach. Muscle Farm Gym looks pretty badass, man.
That's one of the places where Rampage trained back in the day.
Yeah, back in the day.
And now they lend it to the, I guess you'd call them really the elevation team with Leister Bowling.
It's like Nate Marquardt, Leister Bowling, all those cats.
Cody Donovan, Brandon Thatch.
And so that's where Donald goes to work on his wrestling?
Yeah, well, he was a year and two years ago ago last time I was there. He was there every day.
Does Donald stay in Albuquerque or does he live
in Colorado?
I think he lives in Colorado. He has a place in both
I want to say.
He has the ranch in Albuquerque
where he has a bunch of people and farms and you know
dogs and shit, cats.
Damn. Miller's got
the clench.
Oh, beautiful takedown Look at that
Hard whizzer
By Cerrone
Back to the feet
Knee to the body
And the fucking clench
Nice
This fight has put
Joey Diaz to sleep
No no no
I'm just watching
That's a word
What the fuck is going on
This is beautiful
That's a great fight I just want is going on? This is beautiful.
It's a great fight.
I just want Cowboy, which he is, I just want to get to the second round.
We're going to see some shit.
He's doing very well in this fight.
Yeah, Miller's struggling with the reach.
The reach and also in closing, Donald has so many weapons.
And in the transition.
So get him down and Donald's not staying there.
He's moving right away. Don't let him control him. Damn. Which is what you he'll get him down and Donald's not staying there. He's moving right away, not letting him control him.
Damn.
Which is what you got to do.
That was a nice exchange right there.
Well, he's also, Donald's been able to get right back.
Oh, nice uppercut.
Donald's been able to get up to his feet.
Look at this.
Donald's grabbing with him.
Minute to go.
Donald's trying to take him down.
This is nuts.
Body lock.
He's going to try to trip him, pull him off and trip him. That's a wheel breaker, right?
If Donald gets him to the ground, starts bashing him.
It really is when you're not thinking about it.
Look at that.
He didn't think it was coming.
Yep.
And he's so comfortable in the transitions that he decides to try to take you to the ground.
And constantly pressing forward.
Good pressure by Cerrone.
Oh, good right hand by Miller.
Nice short right hook.
It's a great fight, people.
Oh, good left. It's a great motherfucker right here. Nice short right hook by Miller. I'm telling you. It's a great fight, people. Oh, good left.
It's a great motherfucker right here.
Nice short right hook by Miller.
I'm telling you, people, you don't want this thing to end early.
We want this going fourth, fifth round.
Yeah, please.
One of five.
I don't have shit to do.
Let's take this to the fifth.
No, I'm just kidding.
Oh, damn.
That's right.
I forgot this was a five-rounder.
Yes, sir.
Oh, man. Donald's starting to get toer. Yes, sir. Oh, man.
Donald's starting to get to him.
Beautiful first round.
Beautiful first round.
One round for Cowboy, I'd say.
Yes.
I like how they keep the upper right-hand corner, they keep the fight on.
That's pretty cool, isn't it?
That's dope.
So you still get your commercials in, but I get to see if anybody quits in between rounds or something happens.
Or if they're pointing to a part of the body.
Oh, Lord, please help me.
Tremendous.
What's the matter, Joey?
Nothing.
What do you want the Lord to help you about?
Tremendous little fucking fight.
That was a tremendous round, I'll tell you that.
Great fight.
Yeah, that's kind of what I thought was going to happen.
Similar. I knew that Millie was getting a a lot of shots but i had a feeling don't worry bro bathroom's
right there we're here for you all stressed out do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, That knee again, that fucking knee to the body is nasty.
He throws that so well, it just makes you, it fucks up your timing coming in.
Ooh, nice leg kick too, and a good straight right behind it.
Oh, he's going up high.
Oh, he's going up high.
Again with that knee.
I like how he drives forward with that knee, too.
Good power in that right knee.
Donald Cerrone's starting off this round strong.
Another strong knee to the body.
Oh, good right kick by Miller.
Oh, front kick to the body.
He's hurt.
He's hurt. That's it. Oh, good right kick by Miller. Oh, front kick to the body. He's hurt. He's hurt.
That's it.
Oh, dang.
Well, no.
What are you doing, Dan?
He's saying it's a groin shot.
He's saying it's a groin shot.
Wow, that was a body shot.
Donald's saying it's not.
Let's see it.
Let's see it.
Let's see it.
I thought it was a front kick to the body.
Yeah, it did clip the cup on the way up, but it's the body that got it.
Oh, my goodness.
They're going to keep the fight going?
Yo, that is crazy.
Shouldn't he get five minutes?
Or did he say, let's do it right now?
I don't know, man.
Because he doesn't look recovered.
Dang.
Don't have that.
That'll mess with your mentality, man, when you think the fight's over.
You know what I'm saying?
Man, I think that was a front kick.
Ooh, great body kick.
Yeah, he's just going to go straight to the body.
He knows he's hurt now.
Oh, Jim's trying to take him down.
Jim's forced to kind of wrestle, you know?
Yeah.
That's his background.
Front kicks are coming, son.
Dang, that leg kick is nasty. And a beautiful sidestep, too.
A confident Donald.
Good luck with that.
Once he's feeling it like he is right now,
he's going to start getting creative.
What?
Wow, another front going to start getting creative. What? Wow.
Another front kick to the body.
Man, I'm not happy with that.
That was a front kick to the body, man.
I mean, he kind of grazed the cup coming in, but it was the body shot that he went down to.
Yes.
That's crazy.
How do you play that, though?
Because Dan thinks it's a groin shot.
I don't know.
What can he do?
And he can't let Cowboy finish him off.
I think you have to watch the replay.
And if the replay shows it's a body shot, you stop it.
It's over for Donald?
That makes sense.
Yeah, if Donald wins.
Yeah.
Yeah, if the replay showed that, what we saw, I say the fight stopped.
I agree.
He went to it again.
Now he's hurt.
Ooh, threw a big right hand.
He went to it again.
Dang. Oh, Jesus. Oh, he's He went to him again. Dang.
Oh, he's just kicking that fucking stomach.
How tough is Jim Miller?
Tough as shit.
Jim Miller might still win this fight, son.
He might still win this fight.
Anything can happen.
Oh, man.
Dumb was lighting him up with that fucking eye kick.
Bon Jovi could show up right now.
Look at this poor fucking guy.
Fucking Bon Jovi could show up with the whole band right now.
What are you talking about?
Not even Bruce Springsteen cage side could save him.
Fuck that.
Oh, tried to switch kick.
He's worried about that front kick to the body.
Look how low his hand is.
Donald's going to switch kick him in the face, I think.
Well, he just tried.
He just tried, but Miller covered it with his right shoulder.
Ooh, nice inside leg kick by Miller.
He can't run into anything because Miller tried to catch it with that right hand.
Look how red his whole body is.
His whole body just tagged up.
His organs are fucking done.
Donald's going to switch it up.
Ooh, but he's throwing a lot of kicks, too.
He is.
I don't want this fight to end. I don't want it to end, but I think it should have ended. Me, too, but now's throwing a lot of kicks too. He is. I don't want this fight to end.
I don't want it to end, but I think it should have ended.
Me too, but now that's not.
I want Cowboy to win, just not yet.
That's a crazy bad ref call.
Horrible call.
Oh, I like that inside leg kick.
Damn.
It's doing work.
It's the only thing that's working for him, really.
Oh!
Oh, Jesus.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Oh, son.
He's hearing Bon Jovi right now.
Oh!
Right now, he's hearing fucking slippery when wept backwards.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
He's not good in New Jersey.
You give love a bad name.
Damn.
That was spectacular.
Look at that.
They just sent Joe Silva to shake his hand.
He's back on the hunt for fucking tough women.
That was spectacular.
Well, you know what?
Joe Silva is on the ball.
I'm sure he thought that first one was a stoppage.
He should have stopped him with that first one.
Donald was just complaining about something.
I think he said it should have been stopped earlier.
It should have been stopped.
He's right.
He's right.
Look at this.
Boom.
Set it up with a punch.
That shit is perfect.
That is a perfect shin to the head.
He looked low and came high.
Look at this.
Look, he shielded it with the right hand.
Look at that.
Boom!
That right hand was designed just to stick out there.
And the shin was coming behind it the whole time.
As he was throwing that right hand, he was already kicking.
Look.
Boom!
See that? That wasn't like right hand, he was already kicking. Look. Boom! See that? That wasn't
like right hand misses, land the shin.
The right hand was just a setup
to shield the
kick so he wouldn't see it.
Completely blocked the kick. He's
throwing it and the kick's right behind it. He already knew
he had him fucked up too and he was mostly covering
his body. That was beautiful, man.
That was beautiful. God damn
that was beautiful. Damn, that was sick.
Donald Cerrone's a motherfucker.
The kid's on fire.
Straight fire. So good,
man. He's so
good. So good.
This is the Donald Cerrone, like, focus, like
you were saying, you know?
Guys shit together.
Powerful Joe Diaz, where you at tonight?
I'm fucking nowhere.
I'm here with you.
I ain't going nowhere.
You got no gigs?
You want to come to the improv?
No.
Take half my spot.
No.
I want to watch you.
No.
I want to watch you.
Do it for Joe.
Come on.
Please.
I want to watch you.
You guys want to see the improv fight?
Yeah, I'm at the 10 o'clock show.
I got shorts on.
I'm going to go home.
Shorts, perfect.
I got to get up.
Gabriel Iglesias does his whole show in shorts.
Look, now he's got a giant movie.
Shit.
Shit.
He's a good dude, right?
He's one of those dudes that I don't know him, but everybody is happy that he does well.
Yeah.
You know, I don't hear anybody say bad things about that guy.
No, he's a solid fucking dude.
How old is he?
35, maybe?
Maybe. Something like that. 17 years is he? 35, maybe? Maybe.
Something like that.
17 years.
Let's see.
34, yeah.
Let's see.
Let's find out.
I'd say, yeah, 34 maybe.
Gabriel.
Gabriel Iglesias.
Plus, he's legit Mexican, so the Mexicans are very excited.
You know, they get very bummed out
with minstelia they couldn't believe it 37
yeah brian stan calling it correct look at this boom the way he covers it with that right hand
hides it with that right hand look hides it with that right hand.
Look at those guys getting crazy.
Yeah, that's it.
Yeah.
That's the way I beat him up that time.
I told you.
I told you right after high school, that fucking guy that I went to science class with.
Damn.
Yeah, New Jersey's bad luck for you, Jim Miller.
Don't take these fucking fights no more.
Hey, poor dude.
Hey, he's a tough guy.
He's only going to get better.
Damn, Bruce has on that three-piece.
I'm telling you, three-piece is making a comeback.
Apparently.
Where is Miller training?
He's at his school, right?
In New Jersey.
Is that where he's training?
I think so.
Yeah.
Does he do Mark Henry at all?
Does he train with him at all?
Ever?
Nope.
But they're in the same town, right? Or the same part of the... Where's Mark Henry at all? Does he train with him at all? No. Ever? Nope. But they're in the same town, right?
Or the same part of the...
Where's Mark Henry at?
He's in New Jersey.
He owns Pino's Pizza.
He owns a pizza place?
Yeah, Pino's Pizza.
It's like the best pizza you've ever had.
Where at?
In what part of New Jersey?
I don't know what part.
I'm not familiar with it.
Are you close to the bridge?
Are you close to the tunnel?
No.
Okay.
When I was a kid...
It's a ways out.
There was a Pino's. Are you close to... Who's No. Okay. When I was a kid, there was a Pinos.
Are you close to... Who's the jiu-jitsu guy in New Jersey?
Ricardo Amanda? Yes.
Him and Ricardo are best friends.
Frankie?
Ricardo, Frankie, and Mark Henry
are the squad.
That's the team there.
Miller is training at his own place. Who gave Miller
his black belt? I'm not sure.
Do you know who he trains with?
I don't. I thought it was his school, right?
It was him and his brother doing work together.
It's so important, Brendan Shaw, so
important to be in the right camp, right?
You're right. That's what we were talking to you about, son.
True.
And you gotta, and what I see is
you gotta get, you know what?
You gotta get into a camp that makes you happy.
And what these people are doing now, like I just read that Overeem's with Greg Jackson.
You know, it's like Greg Jackson's taking everybody down there now to fucking save them.
Overeem's been in too many camps before.
There you go.
There you go.
Once you keep moving, it's not the fighter.
It's the fighter.
There's something going on with the fighter.
You know, somebody's telling him something he don't think he wants to hear or something.
He can't take criticism.
I don't like that.
A camp is fucking really important.
You can't be your own boss.
No, it's like a camp for comedy.
You have your friends.
You have three or four friends that you throw shit around.
One of your friends will tell you you're slipping.
That joke has been done before. That's an old joke. You of your friends will tell you you're slipping. That joke has been done before.
That's an old joke.
You have your friends. That's our camp.
That's our camp.
Your camp is a home.
When are you happier? When your wife
is upset or when your wife is happy?
When are you fucking happy?
You know what I'm saying? Depends on what you're looking
to do. Depends on what you're looking to do.
Your house has to be happy.
If you're looking to fucking sign some legal papers, you're like, finally, she's mad at
me.
Let's end this.
If your house is undecisive, you're going to be undecisive in that fucking house.
That is true.
That's a great analogy.
No, it's the truth.
It's totally true.
It's the truth.
You know, confidence is, you know, what I've found out lately at the age of 50 is, Jesus
fuck, and I wish somebody told me at 26 is, guess what, guys?
Timing is everything.
It's everything.
It's me doing the right scissor sweeping jujitsu to my joke working to my punch working to me timing a knee.
To knowing the right time to kiss a young lady.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Timing is fucking everything, man.
True.
Yeah.
It really is remarkable in so many ways that timing is...
It's everything.
It's a lot.
It's certainly a lot.
I mean, it's about recognizing moments.
That's what striking is all about, recognizing the correct moment.
You know, and the more you work on your technique, the more you spar, the more you get your timing down,
the more you know how to recognize
the correct moment.
It's the thing with jiu-jitsu too. Knowing the correct
moment to move. Knowing the correct moment
for transitions. It's a lot.
It's everything. Conversations.
How bad is it having a conversation with someone
who doesn't know when to shut the fuck up?
Or just ends every story?
Oh yeah. Or just talks over you.
The worst is when you're telling a story, and instead of responding to your story and talking about,
wow, that was crazy, what were you thinking?
What's going on with you, Brendan?
They just start telling a story of their own that's completely unrelated.
Completely unrelated.
And you're like, hey, man, were you not listening?
I just told you a crazy-ass story.
You don't even have any questions.
It's offensive.
We're not talking here
yeah you're just using me as a fucking a wall to throw a rubber ball against yeah you fuck you
fuck look at this dome god damn he throws that right neck kick so good perfect too look at it it. Boom. Shin. All shin. Floppy foot.
Right around the neck.
Damn.
Incredible fight.
Donald Cerrone's
at his best of all time right now, right?
You don't want to fight him, yeah.
He's on point right now. He's doing so many things well.
When's the last time he lost?
He lost to Dos Angeles.
Dos Angeles. How long ago?
Yeah, Dos Angeles was a really close fight.
This year.
He lost this year, too.
Yeah.
Dos Angeles wrestled him.
He was off, man.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was an interesting fight.
And then the Pettis fight, Pettis caught him with that nasty left.
Look at these motherfuckers bringing Chris Lytle back and shit.
Chris Lytle, good analyst, knows his shit, smart guy, was actually running for office in Indiana.
That's right.
Smart motherfucker.
All those guys are smart up there.
Yeah.
No doubt, no doubt, Kenny Florian.
I like that hanky.
Do you use it to blow your nose?
Because I would.
For any reason, it should be there.
Yeah, if I have a hanky.
Look at it.
Cormier got a nice hanky in there, too.
Three-piece.
You know, I guarantee you this is some shit that the UFC made for them,
like the UFC does with me.
Oh, yeah, they got fitted.
They all got fitted for suits.
Oh, there it is.
Yeah, that's why I have suits.
The UFC hooked it up.
I have an issue.
Look at powerful Chris Lytle, though, looking slick.
Good to see him getting some love up there.
He's a smart dude see this is where randy
really fucked up taking that short money to go over to that bellator thing he missed out on this
shit all this stuff he could have been an analyst on fox forever they would have loved to have him
on everyone loves randy everyone loves randy it would have pumped up every movie he did. To take that short money and go over to that Bellator show, which was not going to last, man.
There's not enough guys.
It's just too hard.
Well, who do you blame in that?
You blame his manager, his friends?
I don't blame anybody because I don't have enough information.
If I talk to Dana White, I'm most certainly going to get a story that's in favor of Randy fucking up.
If I talk to Randy, maybe he'll say that he had to take the money, he needs it.
I don't know.
Who the fuck knows?
Who knows, yeah.
I'm not asking.
Bad idea, though.
But it's a bad idea for a guy like Randy as the sport is growing
and all these analyst positions.
Who knows, man?
Maybe he doesn't like doing analyst positions, too.
That's also possible.
I think that's a possibility.
Of course.
He's a movie star now.
He's world renowned.
He could do seminars.
He could do whatever he wants.
Maybe he doesn't want to wear a monkey suit.
True.
Maybe he'd be up there with his bandana on and fucking weird bracelets and shit.
I hope eventually Chael Sonnen's back up.
They're doing this stuff.
Do you think that they'll take him back?
I think they can take him back.
I think you'd have to have some.
How do you do it?
The country forgives everything.
It's how he approaches it.
This is going to be how he approaches it.
This is all up to him.
Well, I'm sure the UFC wants him, so I'm sure at some point they're going to advise him.
You need to do, you know.
I don't know what you can advise, though.
I think part of the issue is.
You just got to let it die down?
Yeah.
Part of the issue is what do you say?
What do you tell him to do?
It's all just speculation.
Like, what's going to make it go away quicker?
I don't think there's anything.
Time.
Time.
Time.
Time.
They forgave Michael Vick.
Yeah, but there's...
They did.
That's a good point.
That's a great point.
Okay, they forgave Michael Vick, guys.
It's time and how you approach it.
I still haven't.
How you...
I still haven't.
There's a lot of people that hate him, but I'm still saying how...
Nobody's hating on channel here. This was very hard for Dana. haven't how you i still there's a lot of people that hate him but i'm still saying how nobody's
hating on chale here this was uh this was very hard for dana this is very hard for fox it was
just something that you know bro they wouldn't have let him go if he didn't goof on people yeah
um yeah people he goofed on people and sometimes if you live by the motherfucking sword
you die by the i don't think you die by the motherfucking sword.
I don't think you're right in that regard.
I think they would have let him go no matter what.
They would have let him go no matter what, but even the thing he said about whatever gave him cancer, he said a lot of fucked up things, guys.
Yeah, but he said he didn't say that.
A lot of shit was funny, and a lot of shit wasn't.
If you would have said it or I would have said it, we would have had problems, man.
He said a lot of fucked up shit.
He knows this. He knows this. That's what made him a star had problems, man. You know, he said a lot of fucked up shit. He knows this.
He knows this.
That's what made him a star, though, too, you know?
That's what made him a star.
Like I said, live by the sword, die by the sword.
Well, it's interesting.
He became this shit talker, like, late in his career.
Like, he'd go to the early career.
Oh, didn't you see?
Like, he fought in Bodog.
Back when he fought in Bodog.
Remember Bodog?
Yeah, man.
Remember Bodog?
Oh, yeah.
Bodog put on some good fucking fights, man.
Heck, yeah.
Kane fought in Bodog. Did he really? Kane fought in Bodog. Remember Matt man. Remember Bodog? Oh, yeah. Bodog put on some good fucking fights, man. Heck, yeah. Kane fought in Bodog.
Did he really?
Kane fought in Bodog.
Remember Matt Linlin versus Fedor?
That might have been what brought Bodog down.
True.
What?
They had to pay him like a million dollars to fight on the internet.
Back when the internet just like was not smart.
Not there.
And then the homeboy of Bodog ran the Bodog betting website, and that got like shut down.
Well, not only did it get shut down, but he is a criminal.
He can't even come into the country anymore because he was operating what they deemed to be an illegal gambling site.
Yep.
And so Calvin Ayers, he had some thing with Dana White where he invited Dana, said he would pick him up on a private jet and show him his lifestyle,
you know, because Dana was jealous of him.
Yeah, yeah, this is like when Bodog was competing with the UFC.
They were trying to.
Yeah, way, way, way, way back in the day.
And, you know, Dana was like, dude, you're a criminal.
You can't even come into this country.
Yeah, I'm all good.
What are you talking about?
I'm going to hang out with you, you criminal.
And then after Bodog went down, that's when Affliction opened up and signed Fedor?
Yes.
There was a billboard on Vegas.
I'll never forget it.
As I was driving in, Calvin Ayer presents.
And it was him standing there with a suit on, sunglasses on and shit.
So dope.
So dope.
I was like, what am I looking at?
I love it.
He's advertising fights by showing pictures
of himself. His ego
is so big and he's so fucking
rich.
When you're a baller like that. And also
he's also promoting a brand.
True.
He wants to be Dana White. That's what he wants
to do by putting his face on the billboard.
Sort of. But back then Dana White wasn't even
the Dana White that you think of when you think of him today you know today he's a superstar back then i don't
believe he was nearly as famous because mma wasn't as famous he's more of the transitionary period
before mma exploded i think it was pre i might be wrong but i want to say it was pre-ultimate fighter
or close and then affliction came along just paying Orlovsky, Fedor, Rothwell, Vitor, Lin-Lin.
They threw some money, son.
They threw some money.
Had one legit show in there.
Just like, damn, we're broke.
There's the fucking man right there at 155.
No one kicks like that, dude.
Woo!
Woo!
I'll tell you what.
Don't sleep on Miles' jury at number eight there.
No.
He's good.
Getting better, too. Habib, man, I'm telling you, the matchup no one wants jury at number eight there. No. He's good. Getting better, too.
I'm telling you, the matchup no one wants is that Habib cat.
Yeah, you're right.
No one wants to fight that guy.
He's a beast.
Horrible beast.
Just a bad match for everyone in there.
Wouldn't you love to see him versus Pettis?
I would.
Holy shit, that would be crazy.
I would really like to see what happens in that.
Me too.
You know, I get criticized for this all the time, but I'm going to say it again.
I think that a guy like a Ben Askren, which everybody says,
oh, you know, I don't like watching his style.
I want to see him fight everybody.
Really?
Everybody.
Because he's going to talk it up.
Not just that.
All he is is a young Chael Sonnen.
That's what he is.
Better.
Better wrestling.
Better wrestling, but I'm saying in MMA.
That's what he's kind of going for now.
Yeah, maybe.
Well, he's going for hyping things up.
But my point is just forget about his talking.
If he never said a word, I want to see him fight everybody.
I want to see him fight Woodley.
I want to see him fight Rory.
I want to see him fight Nick Diaz.
I want to see what the fuck guys can do to him.
And you're cool with him just taking them down and and winning by
decision if he can do it yeah if he can do it you're cool me too we're on the same i'm just
saying people are gonna say that's not fighting though so were you a fan of john fitch yes yes
i'm with you because if you can't stop it's impressive he's that good if you can't stop it
it's a tactic and if you don't know how to fight off your back if you can't attack off your back
get back up to your feet or stop him from taking you down. It's super impressive because you know how hard it is to take someone down for 15 minutes or 25?
Yeah.
Look, and I get it, folks.
It's not entertaining.
If you say you don't like that, I guess I'm a bigger fan than you.
I just like the real deal.
Well, the difference is you know what's going on.
You have a history with mixed martial arts.
Those people just want to be entertained. Maybe. Whether you get knocked out five times or you win, you know what's going on. You have a history with mixed martial arts. Those people just want to be entertained.
Whether you get knocked out five times or you win,
you know what I'm saying? They don't care.
Whoever gets knocked out, that's all they want to see.
I'm being just completely
facetious. I think there's some legit
mixed martial arts fans that don't want to see that
ever. And they're legit fans. They want to see
some action. They're the exception though.
But my point of view
is that I'm a purist. And as a purist, I need to see some action. They're the exception, though. But my point of view is that I'm a purist.
And as a purist, I need to see all the possibilities.
We would have never known that leg kicks existed if someone didn't come along and start throwing them.
You didn't know that a guy could choke guys out like Hoyce Gracie did until he came along.
So when a guy like Askin comes around and he just takes everybody down and controls top position.
You don't think we've seen that?
Not like that.
I don't think so.
But he's not fighting top competition either.
Exactly.
Exactly.
I know.
But look what he did to guys that are really good over there.
Look what he did.
Over where?
Bellator?
Yeah, but still.
I mean, still.
You're talking about C-level fighters.
I think B, but yes.
Some B for sure.
Some even A.
Chandler, Eddie Alvarez.
You're talking A level.
They have some A level for sure.
I'm not clowning Bellator.
I'm saying for the most part, though, Ben Askren isn't fighting top dogs.
So we don't know.
Exactly.
So we got to see.
And the only one way to see is to let him do it.
Jump in there with Johnny Hendricks?
Fuck yeah, with anybody.
Throw him in there with anybody really good.
You wouldn't want to see him and, you know, name the beast.
Hector Lombard.
Jesus Luizis.
You're telling me you wouldn't want to see Ben Askren versus Hector Lombard?
Two former champs from Bellator.
Hey, I'm with you.
I think if a guy's that dominant at one position, it's dope to see.
Like, everyone talks about the super fight with George St. Pierre and Anson Silva.
Hate to tell you
That's not gonna be a fun fight
George is gonna lay on him
If they ever did fight
Which isn't happening obviously
Five
For 25 minutes
I just think
GSB's laying on top of him
I don't know if that
Necessarily wouldn't happen
I think that fight
Is a possibility
If George ever does
Decide to come back
Which who knows if he does
And Anderson
Is going to come back
Anderson's already
Throwing kicks
Have you seen that?
There's a video of Anderson Punching the bag and he throws a kick with that fucking leg.
Slaps into the bag.
I think if that fight does happen, it's going to get marketed as biggest fight ever in UFC history.
And everyone's going to be like, damn, dog.
25-minute wrestling clinic.
That's what I think.
You think so?
Yep.
Be interesting.
Who knows?
Who knows?
Who knows? But knows? Who knows?
But I don't want to see,
I want to see all styles,
dude.
I want to do my,
for me,
it's very important to know what's possible.
And there's only truly one way to know what's possible is you got to see those guys duke it out.
You got to see the best guys duke it out.
And when a guy is a champion of another organization,
like a Bellator champion,
and he's been able to do that to everybody over there and he starts talking a bunch of shit but the bring
him in the way the ufc works though is they're not going to bring you in and have him fight
johnny hendrix they'll bring him in be like take number seven hector lombard have fun with that
because we want to just see you get destroyed yes yes yes yes yes yeah i'm with you be dope
yeah i'm with you i want to see if he, and I want to see if he doesn't.
If he can take Lombard down and molest him for three rounds, holy shit, that would be
wild to watch, man.
Then we got problems on our hands.
It'd be wild to watch, man, if he starts molesting everybody.
How old's Ben?
That's a good question.
I would say-
Because he's wrestling for a while.
I'm going to take a guess.
I'm going to say 31.
Let's see.
Ben Askren.
Just turned 30.
30.
Pow, pow.
30 years old.
It's prime.
Plenty of time.
That turns tomorrow.
Plenty of time.
Plenty.
Bellator wraps you up in that contract, though, so who knows if we'll see it.
Yeah.
What's up with that, huh?
Because they know.
Well, no one's trying to be like, I want to be Bellator champ for life.
Well, he's out, though.
He's out of that contract.
Well, he's in, what is it, 1FC now, right?
Yeah, look at this.
They're doing a little demonstration.
Well, I see the socks, Kenny.
Sweet, sexy red socks.
DC's just waiting for a shot, right?
He had surgery?
He's having surgery on his knee?
He doesn't know if he's going to have it.
He might not have the surgery.
He might just try to rehab it.
His ACL is only partially torn and his MCL is torn,
so the MCL he can rest up and do therapy on it.
He's 36 years old, and he's concerned with taking a full year off
because that is what is going to happen.
And then jumping in with Jon Jones or Gusman.
Yeah, whoever wins.
Yes.
Or, you know, who knows?
By then, if he gets surgery and then the landscape changes in a year,
then maybe he's fighting Glover, maybe he's fighting, you know,
who knows who he's fighting.
He needs to just wait for his title shot.
Well, it depends on how good his knee is, though,
because what if he waits for the title shot and his knee is bunk and it goes out in the first round
and he could have just waited an extra six months after that, let somebody else fight,
and then fought John with a 100% knee?
No, I'm with you.
There's two arguments.
No, as long as your next fight's for the title, once you're in line for the title, don't do anything.
Don't do any surgery.
Well, no, I'm saying don't take any other fights.
Right.
Like, don't get surgery, then they'll be like, all right, well, we're going to toss you Glover.
Beat him, then we're going to give it to you.
Nope.
What do you think about Verdum and Kane?
That's a big fight.
I think it's a rough matchup for Kane.
You think so?
I really do, man.
Really?
You know, I'm always pro-jiu-jitsu.
I just think Verdum, if you've ever seen that dude, obviously you have, he's huge, man.
That's what I'm saying.
He's like 6'6".
You know what I'm saying?
He's a big dude. Legit
dangerous striking. Owen Kane,
he's going to throw those elbows and
that Cordero teaches him all that stuff and the knees
and you want to take him down off that?
Well, his fight starts once
his back hits the ground. We're not
talking about Junior Dos Santos on the ground,
Chet Congo, a Bigfoot.
No, son. We're talking about
their very best
pure Brazilian jiu-jitsu artist
in the heavyweight division
on his back.
Without a doubt.
Without a doubt.
And also,
if I'm Verdun's corner
and I'm saying,
all right, son,
if he's doing what
he did to Junior Dos Santos
and he puts his forehead
in your chest
and he's dirty boxing
against the cage,
if that's going on
for a long amount of time,
you're jumping to half guard.
Mix things up. We're not going to stay there and get
our ass whipped like Junior Dos Santos did.
You're going to half guard, you're going to look to sweep, you're going to look for submissions.
Very interesting.
Crazy, right? I don't know. I'm all
about it. I believe in Verdum in this one.
Could you imagine if Verdum taps him
in Mexico? What?
Oh, good lord. And then they find out Verdum
speaks better English or better Spanish than Kane?
You'd have the biggest heavyweight star since Brock Lesnar.
You think so?
Yep.
Why do you think that?
Why do you think he would be so big?
He has a personality.
He's bilingual.
We're just getting into Mexico.
He's a coach on Tough in Mexico.
Right.
Very well-spoken, good-looking dude.
Legit, legit skills.
Listen, Kane's is number one in the world.
Number one badass in the world.
But personality-wise, it's just not there.
You know what I'm saying?
And Verdum has a personality to match it.
Well, you know, the other thing about Kane that you've got to deal with is that cardio.
That cardio is off the chain.
There's no one like him.
The motherfucker doesn't get tired.
Or if he does get tired, it is not like everybody else gets tired.
No, he keeps going. It's crazy.
But if you're Verdum, alright man,
cool. You're starting to get a little tired and
getting your ass whipped the first two rounds, dirty boxing
in the cage, we're taking this to the ground.
Because you're not going to sit there for five minutes
while he just wears your ass out and then we're on the
fourth round and you're getting TKO'd. You know what I'm saying?
That's very interesting. That's very interesting.
It's weird. I could see, you know,
like a crazy transition going on on the ground where he's threatening, too.
You think what he did to Fedor.
I mean, Fedor was trying that brutal ground and pound that he uses on everybody.
Wild, though.
Yeah, and Verdun was like, wrap it up, son.
Snap, snap, snap, snap.
Snap, snap, snap, snap.
And we're not talking about Fedor with the love handles like crazy hanging over the muffin top.
We're talking about Fedor where everyone was like, what?
See, that's where I kind of disagree with you.
Because I think that Fader was already slightly on the slide.
Slightly, but not Bigfoot style where you're like, damn, someone tossed in the towel.
Well, he had knocked out Brett Rogers in that fight before that.
Looked great in that fight.
But he was tested in that fight a little bit with Rogers.
Then he caught him with that right hand and dropped him.
Huge right hand.
And the reality of Brett Rogers' skill was that Fedor shouldn't have been tested by him.
No, should have walked him.
He's just not the same guy.
I don't believe that Fedor is the same guy as the Fedor that fought Fujita,
the Fedor that fought Crow Cop, the Fedor that fought Noguera.
No.
It's a different Fedor.
Because I think he had been through all the wars.
He'd gotten divorced.
Came to America.
A lot of shit.
His body changed.
His body stopped being big and muscular. If you look
at those old fights when he was doing strength training,
doing weights and strength conditioning
training, he was way bigger.
Way more physically imposing.
He always had a little bit of a gut. Always.
But he didn't give a fuck. But he was
bigger in the shoulders, bigger in the neck and the chest.
And then as he got older, like
as he fought Dan Henderson, he lost a lot of that bulk.
That's true.
Probably just didn't want to do the weightlifting anymore.
Still, even when he fought Verdum, he was still a scary dude, man.
Oh, yeah.
So when Verdum pulled that off, the difference between Fedor's ground and pound and Kane's is Kane's very calculated and very smart.
Fedor believed in it so much he was
just wild so that triangle was like snap son sort of but i really think that fedor was gone because
then you see the fedor fight with bigfoot think about what cane did to bigfoot and then watch
that fedor fight with bigfoot and be like fedor was never really in that fight it was a mess it
was horrible i thought they were going to toss in the towel yeah when when cane was or when fedor
was on his back and Bigfoot mounted him
I was like, oh, yeah, I was like, please stop. It's like two different free. It looked like three different weight class. Yeah, he's a building
Bigfoot's a building man. He's a monster enormous enormous guy with giant
But speed
If you can be what kills him, yeah, if you can catch him, that's how Cormier lit him up
But speed.
Speed's what kills him.
Yeah, if you can catch him.
That's how Cormier lit him up.
That's how Kane got him.
Everybody gets him with speed.
You have to.
Close the distance and crack him.
Yeah, you have to.
Yeah.
Dum, dum, dum.
LaHoller and Brown.
Johnson, Hoguera.
Oh, my goodness.
That's going to be fun.
Here's that fucking crazy combo.
