Transcript
00:00:00.000
We are about to watch, we're watching UFC Fight Pass.
00:00:04.000
We're watching it on my computer, so I can't pull up who is fighting, but this is a lady fighter.
00:00:14.000
There's so many fighters in the UFC now, even the employees of the UFC don't know who the fuck is who.
00:00:25.000
That far surpasses the Dunbar's number of 150. That's tough.
00:00:33.000
Remember back in the day when someone would try to get away with saying that they're a UFC fighter, and you'd say, fuck you!
00:00:50.000
And then you find out, oh, this dude, yeah, he fought.
00:00:56.000
How many people didn't know about Brendan Thatch until he fought Benson?
00:01:17.000
There's a lot of fighters from other countries now, too, man.
00:01:23.000
Jamie, give us a little volume so we can hear this, too.
00:01:26.000
No one's told us to not do that, so let's just keep doing that.
00:01:29.000
And I gotta take this fucking goofy lava lamp down.
00:02:35.000
That was one of the greatest knockouts of all time.
00:02:43.000
Like, as far as the result of a knockout, like...
00:02:49.000
When Weidman connected on Anderson, it was like one of the greatest moments.
00:02:52.000
Like, not great, like, I'm happy Anderson got knocked out, or none of that.
00:03:00.000
It's more like when Buster Douglas knocked out Tyson.
00:03:07.000
Buster Douglas was hitting him with that long jab hook.
00:03:11.000
He was hitting him with that Larry Holmes-style jab and the hook behind it.
00:03:18.000
I just saw that fight again within the last six months, and goddamn, even though Buster Douglas looked...
00:03:32.000
But if you look at Tyson, even though he didn't train, he looked good.
00:03:40.000
He was really trying to knock out Buster Douglas with everything he had.
00:03:51.000
He was saying how he was just doing work on those...
00:04:19.000
I wonder how many half Mike Tyson kids there are in Japan.
00:04:22.000
Probably 70. Okay, we got Joanne Calderwood and Myrna Moroz.
00:05:02.000
She does look like she's paralyzed right there.
00:05:16.000
That last fight, the striking was so outmatched.
00:05:20.000
I think that chick is going to make, what was her name, Joanna?
00:05:27.000
She's the Ronda Rousey at 115. With better striking.
00:05:40.000
If Carla can't take her down, most fighters in that division are not going to be able to take her down.
00:05:47.000
It was a very close fight, and a lot of people actually thought that Nunes won the fight.
00:06:03.000
I would Google her, but I don't know how to say her name on Google.
00:06:07.000
I couldn't even spell it if you gave me a million dollars right now.
00:06:14.000
I just tried J-Y-Z. You want a J-Y-Z? And let's see if they figure it out.
00:06:28.000
How long did we think that girls couldn't throw punches?
00:06:42.000
She's the best American female kickboxer in the 80s and 90s.
00:07:02.000
Okay, we should stop watching this fight immediately and watch how Ann Wolfe used to knock chicks out.
00:07:58.000
You know, Eddie, there's still people that say that you shouldn't cross your feet, and I don't agree with that.
00:08:03.000
Crossing your feet with the arm bar thing, that's like, people are pretending, some people pretend it's just like crossing the feet when you have someone's back.
00:08:10.000
If the guy's on their back and you're in spiderweb, if they're on their back, yeah, you cross your feet all the time, but if they're on top of you, it all depends on What's going on?
00:08:24.000
And what's going on with the locking of the shoulder?
00:08:42.000
Wait for some shit that's going to change your feeling about what would happen if a chick punched you.
00:08:47.000
You just gotta see this fucking KO. I think you'd be surprised.
00:10:00.000
That better not be what they want people to buy.
00:10:04.000
I'm gonna fucking throw on a big brown on the back.
00:10:10.000
It's probably what they're wearing on fight night.
00:10:15.000
I should probably ask somebody since I work for them.
00:10:22.000
No capitalization, a small gap before the closure.
00:10:35.000
She hung out in there when there was this one brief moment where she could have pulled her arm out.
00:10:50.000
Well, they know that that's where the money's at now.
00:11:05.000
I think when you become champ, they should have a stylist for you right away.
00:11:12.000
If Roy Nelson became champ and decided to wear...
00:11:22.000
I think for women's MMA, they should be allowed to pull hair.
00:11:38.000
Dude, there would be all these different chokes you could do with the hair.
00:11:47.000
That's some real, legit, six-time world Muay Thai champion right now.
00:11:55.000
It's like she was just having sparring practice with pads that don't hit back.
00:12:02.000
She was hitting the mitts with some light defense work.
00:12:08.000
Dude, the technique that you see there, that is as clean as it gets when it comes to striking in MMA. That's a scary girlfriend to have right there.
00:12:18.000
If you're not on your shit, if you slip and you're kind of drunk, she'll fuck you up.
00:12:24.000
No girlfriend of mine is walking out of the house with that business polo on.
00:12:29.000
Brendan, if you guys were in a real fight, you'd win if she was your girlfriend.
00:12:38.000
But if you're kind of drunk, you're in your underwear, one, the lights dim, she'll rattle off a combination, she'll fuck you up.
00:12:48.000
I think a girl like that needs a boyfriend like him.
00:12:52.000
She needs a giant gorilla that she can't just kick in the head.
00:12:59.000
Multi-billionaire dude who's like a little old man that she beats up and he loves it.
00:13:14.000
Dude, a woman like that, that takes a lot of man.
00:13:23.000
She's not hot enough for Cro Cop, let's be honest.
00:13:31.000
For Cro Cop, though, this motherfucker runs Croatia.
00:13:46.000
I've never had a harder time Googling a woman's name.
00:13:49.000
I basically know how to say it, but to spell it, I really need to learn how to spell it.
00:13:56.000
It's preposterous that they require that of you, though, I think.
00:14:09.000
I want to say it was Nunez, but I'm doing this totally off of memory.
00:14:23.000
Because Amanda Nunes, I think, is a 135. Yeah, she is.
00:14:28.000
Can we see the Kathy Long highlight reel on that?
00:14:33.000
That Claudia Gedalia fight, that was a really fucking close fight.
00:14:47.000
I mean, that was a really good fight between those two.
00:14:50.000
I think there's a lot of action in this division.
00:14:53.000
I really think that Johanna is above and beyond the rest of them when it comes to striking.
00:15:00.000
But there's some really good grapplers in that division.
00:15:02.000
And if they get a hold of her, who the fuck knows what happens?
00:15:05.000
But if Carla can't take her down, that means every fighter is going to have a hard time.
00:15:12.000
But a striker with really good wrestling might be able to pull it off.
00:15:17.000
The problem with Carla was that the gap in the striking was so goddamn enormous.
00:15:25.000
But she still did get inside, and she got deep, and that's beyond the striking, and she couldn't finish it.
00:15:33.000
She could have gotten tagged before that, though.
00:15:39.000
If you saw the two of them, I would have to go back and watch it again.
00:15:43.000
But if you watch, anytime you see someone get tagged, there's a possibility that they're functioning in a diminished capacity, right?
00:15:54.000
I went from a legit jiu-jitsu guy to fucking two-stripe white belt.
00:15:59.000
I think he went back, mount, and I had no idea what was going on.
00:16:05.000
When you think about how good Joanna's hands are, she could have easily clipped Carla coming in, right?
00:16:11.000
And then your memory, your mortar skills are slow.
00:16:38.000
The interviews Jamie Varner's been doing lately?
00:16:43.000
He's talking about how he thinks fighters should spar way less than they do.
00:16:46.000
He's like, what you need to be doing is working on drills, hitting pads, working out on strength and conditioning, you know, do your wrestling, your jiu-jitsu.
00:16:53.000
But he's like, hardcore sparring should be done once a week at most, and only when you're preparing for a fight.
00:17:00.000
He said maybe you could even stretch it out to even more than once a week.
00:17:04.000
He's like, what's really important is that you take care of your brain and you make sure you don't spar with bigger guys.
00:17:10.000
He was saying that he made mistakes by sparring with...
00:17:21.000
I think he sparred with Buzinski, who's a little bit larger than him, too.
00:17:36.000
Jamie Varner's a 155er, and he's fighting a guy that literally fights in a division 50 pounds heavier than him.
00:17:48.000
You think we'll ever see Bader striking like Conor McGregor?
00:18:00.000
He would have to change a lot about the way he moves.
00:18:03.000
You know, I think Bader has gotten a lot better in his striking.
00:18:07.000
Like, the Feijão fight is a perfect example of that.
00:18:11.000
If you watch his fight with King Mo in Strikeforce, you see what kind of striking Feijão has when he's on point.
00:18:23.000
Yeah, he heard him before he got caught when he was trying to close the deal.
00:18:32.000
There's a video going around, like a highlight of Capoeira MMA. Have we seen this?
00:18:48.000
It's capoeira guys against capoeira guys, and that's what they're throwing.
00:18:50.000
They're just throwing massive double spinning wheel kicks.
00:18:56.000
They go on the ground and choke each other out.
00:18:58.000
What I was going to say about Ryan Bader and that, like when you're saying, do you think you'll ever have a full arsenal, is the way he moves.
00:19:12.000
Like, I'm not even wrong with the way he moves, because obviously the way he moves is effective, but it's almost like his legs, like he keeps them close together.
00:19:21.000
If you watch like a Machida, or you watch like a Brandon Thatch, like that real strong, traditional karate type background, which is the one that allows you to get away with everything.
00:19:35.000
He's like Anthony Pettis at 170. You would have to have a wider stance.
00:19:40.000
It's something wrong if you wanted to throw all those kicks and all that other crazy shit.
00:19:43.000
You look at Anderson, there's a wider stance going on.
00:19:46.000
If you look at Taekwondo guys, there's a wide stance going on.
00:19:48.000
I think that's the only way you get to throw those kicks.
00:19:52.000
Because with Muay Thai, you're throwing round kicks mostly and occasionally teeps.
00:19:56.000
But when you want to go off that back leg with anything where you're spinning, you want to have a little bit more space.
00:20:00.000
And I think if he wanted to have like Conor McGregor style, he would probably have to stand like McGregor.
00:20:28.000
Only the super high-level guys have been able to get past that.
00:20:32.000
The guys like Nicky Holtzkin, he's the guy who gets past it.
00:20:38.000
He's tough to hit, man, in the UFC. He's a phenomenal point scorer.
00:20:43.000
He's a perfect example of a guy who gets past Raymond Daniels.
00:20:45.000
And he's the champ because he just kicked his legs out from under him.
00:20:48.000
He just used traditional, solid Muay Thai, hands up, kickboxing style, blocked, threw a lot of fucking leg kicks, took him out and then took him out with a head kick.
00:20:57.000
But everybody else, when Daniels fights a guy who can't deal with that kind of hopping in and out shit, it's lethal.
00:21:03.000
So to have a guy like a Conor McGregor style, or a guy like Lyoto or Thatch, a guy who throws those wild kicks, if Bader wanted to do that, he would definitely have to widen his stance.
00:21:15.000
I also think the style you're describing is in those guys, Thatch, Connor, Machida, they're phenomenal athletes.
00:21:30.000
I don't think he's as skilled in karate or in stand-up as Machida is.
00:21:35.000
I mean, Machida's a sly, professional, high-level fighter.
00:21:47.000
Sometimes I think certain styles aren't in guys' wheels.
00:21:50.000
Like, Bob Sapp isn't gonna fucking adapt to the Taekwondo.
00:22:01.000
But he could do it, because Feijal can do those kind of kicks.
00:22:12.000
Melvin, you don't see throw wheel kicks either.
00:22:22.000
Because they're no good at them because they don't practice them.
00:22:27.000
I'm just saying certain guys, like a guy like Bader who comes from a wrestling background, the chances of him adapting, that's not good.
00:22:34.000
And you have to have the athletic ability to pick it up.
00:22:36.000
Well, I don't think Conor came from that background entirely.
00:22:39.000
You know, I think he's kind of picked that kicking style up more.
00:22:49.000
He spends a lot of time with a homie in Iceland.
00:22:59.000
I mean, Machida, you can't say shit about karate.
00:23:06.000
But eventually we're going to have a capoeira guy in there.
00:23:10.000
There's going to be a guy in the UFC who comes out and is throwing all them crazy capoeira kicks.
00:23:26.000
There's a lot of guys who've trained in capoeira, who've done the UFC, I'm sure, but who actually go out there and stand like those capoeira guys and move like that.
00:23:36.000
What do you guys think about Daniel Cormier and Bader?
00:24:01.000
Dude, you look at DC's track record, there's not too many dudes beating him.
00:24:05.000
There's one guy on this earth who can beat him, it's Jon Jones.
00:24:17.000
I don't think we'll ever get someone as good as Jon Jones.
00:24:24.000
Now he's training full-time, moved to Albuquerque.
00:24:28.000
His Instagram where it's just this balling house in Albuquerque?
00:24:39.000
You can say the same thing about Anthony Johnson.
00:24:49.000
We've never seen an issue in John Jones' game, ever.
00:24:52.000
We have that one aspect of Anthony Johnson's game that you can't neglect when you talk about him.
00:24:58.000
That's the fucking extreme weight cut that he used to make.
00:25:00.000
He made the most extreme way cut in the sport ever.
00:25:03.000
We used to all see him walking around in hotels in between fights and he would be e-fucking-normous.
00:25:10.000
He would be like 220, 230. Even 240. I saw him at 240. Oh my god!
00:25:20.000
Why the fuck didn't someone sit him down like, bro?
00:25:38.000
Some guys think that they're not doing all they can do to be a champion unless they cut as much weight as they can to get to a lower weight as they can, and they think it's a part of the discipline.
00:25:50.000
They think it's a part of the discipline of being a fighter that you have to make that weight, and they look at it as a badge of courage.
00:25:57.000
He's missed weight so many times, someone should have just been like, yo, my man.
00:26:05.000
Well, he's obviously the most professional because he's the champion, right?
00:26:09.000
He always gets on weight, even in the fucking...
00:26:13.000
He didn't almost miss it, but he had a really hard time with it in the fight with...
00:26:30.000
He took that fight, I think that was on, like, a real short notice.
00:26:34.000
He took that fight and the Maya fight on super short notice.
00:26:50.000
That was when Ray Longo was yelling at his corner, I saw what you got through at the fucking weigh-ins.
00:26:56.000
If you can lose that kind of weight, kid, you can get through this.
00:27:03.000
The thing with Weidman, though, is, again, there's no holes in his game.
00:27:11.000
We've seen him cut weight and there's holes in his game.
00:27:18.000
He's a special type of Long Island animal that you never want to have a fight with at a bar.
00:27:26.000
I wish I was there to interview him, man, when he did that.
00:27:38.000
I wanted to get, if I was there, I wanted to climb through the fucking screen and interview him.
00:27:44.000
I wanted to, like, when he was saying, fuck you, I wanted to, like, first of all, it wasn't his fault.
00:27:55.000
But John Anik was like, okay, looks like we've got some curse words here.
00:28:06.000
I would have congratulated him on a really tough fight.
00:28:16.000
I think I thought the first round was pretty dominant for Masvidal.
00:28:22.000
And I think the other two rounds, I thought Masvidal did just enough.
00:28:27.000
You know, I didn't think it was nearly as dominant as the first round.
00:28:30.000
I would like to go over again and watch it with you.
00:28:39.000
I could see it being a draw if you want to go that route.
00:28:41.000
I could see a draw if you give it 10-8 that first round.
00:28:43.000
Well, I think there definitely should be a wider disparity in scoring.
00:28:46.000
If that is a 10-9, but then the last two rounds were also 10-9, well, that's obviously right there.
00:28:54.000
That fight demonstrates the difference between the first round, the domination that Masvidal showed in that first round, and then the really debatable second and third rounds.
00:29:02.000
Masvidal kind of coasted though, especially the third round and the second round.
00:29:11.000
You never know what the fuck's going on with these guys when they get in there.
00:29:15.000
He could have been clipped in the second round.
00:29:17.000
And he was coasting because he just wasn't there.
00:29:19.000
Well, it could have been that he was hurt in training.
00:29:45.000
The Polish cat has beaten a lot of UFC guys that a lot of people don't know.
00:29:52.000
Jamie, can you put up the card, like the full card, so we can see what the whole main card is?
00:29:56.000
This is, we're right now, we're watching Paolo, Pawlok, and Sheldon Westcott.
00:30:04.000
But we're talking about all kinds of other shit.
00:30:06.000
First of all, I gotta go back to this Roy Nelson thing and strongly disagree that he gets a fucking haircut.
00:30:11.000
Bro, get a stylist, dress these guys proper, so they don't look like assholes.
00:30:22.000
Not everybody has to be a beautiful, handsome cop.
00:30:25.000
The first thing I All I want to do is go to Joanna, the 115-pound champ.
00:30:28.000
I'm like, yeah, that business button-up you're wearing, let's get rid of that.
00:30:38.000
Roy, no more t-shirts, bellies, and jean shorts.
00:30:50.000
The more unique characters we have, the better.
00:31:09.000
You know, when you think, you know, I was into the WWF. I was into the WWF. I just watched Culture High, by the way.
00:31:18.000
If I could, I would do it, but I would, I mean, I was like, damn, I'm...
00:31:22.000
The Iron Sheik story, dude, the Iron Sheik story is fucking amazing.
00:31:27.000
You know, he was an Iranian national champion wrestler who ended up being a bodyguard for the Shah.
00:31:36.000
The Shah loved the wrestlers and the top Iranian wrestlers.
00:31:40.000
And his main bodyguard dude, forget his name, but he was the best Iranian wrestler ever.
00:31:54.000
So the Iron Sheik, he was one of the bodyguards, he decided to bolt.
00:32:08.000
And he started teaching the Olympic wrestling team.
00:32:21.000
You know how his character is the Iron Sheik with that...
00:32:42.000
But once he slowly started getting into pro wrestling in Minnesota, he would coach the college team there.
00:32:48.000
They were national champions five years in a row.
00:32:53.000
Yes, somewhere in Minnesota and for the Olympic team.
00:32:59.000
And he started getting into pro wrestling, not as the Iron Sheet, just as an American Olympic coach type.
00:33:09.000
So someone told him, his wife told him, he goes, you should...
00:33:12.000
His wife suggested that he uses that because...
00:33:21.000
Like, wrestling's great, why don't we make some fucking money and you get a personality.
00:33:31.000
That's when we were at, we were about to go to war with Iran back then, and everybody, you know, the whole terror hostages, the whole Iran hostages thing.
00:33:59.000
But the way that shit's decided, they talk about this openly about how Bob Backlund was the American WWF champion.
00:34:18.000
Vince McMahon goes, well, he can't beat the American champion.
00:34:22.000
We need a villain to come in to beat Bob Backlund so then Hulk Hogan saves the day.
00:34:28.000
We have a villain champion for like a year or two.
00:34:37.000
The crazy thing about Iron Sheik is he wouldn't lose.
00:34:41.000
Because in reality, he knew he could beat everybody here.
00:34:56.000
The only one that would beat him was Hulk Hogan.
00:35:05.000
And Hulk Hogan says this, you know, says Iron Sheet could have beat...
00:35:11.000
So for him to lay down for me and let me and pass the torch to me, that created Hulkamania.
00:35:25.000
Oh, don't laugh and point me talking about the gentleman's sex tape.
00:35:53.000
Someone got betrayed in that weird love triangle.
00:35:57.000
It was like his best friend's girl or something like that.
00:36:01.000
In the middle, he's like, hold on, Nick's calling while he's getting his dick sucked.
00:36:19.000
What if you found out that Hulk did that on purpose?
00:36:24.000
Oh, and they talk about Iron Sheik being a massive coke head.
00:36:28.000
Like, he got busted with Hacksaw Duggan in a car.
00:36:30.000
They got pulled over, and they had a bunch of coke and weed on them.
00:36:49.000
I was like, this guy, he's still getting better.
00:36:53.000
He's fucking really good and still getting better.
00:36:56.000
You're smiling, you heavyweight son of a bitch.
00:37:00.000
I think, don't get me wrong, Stipe's a fucking monster.
00:37:06.000
I think that fight was more of Dos Santos, the Cain Velasquez fights took its toll on him.
00:37:34.000
Yeah, it's hard to watch the real legends like that.
00:37:40.000
Like, the Roy Nelson fight was hard for me to watch.
00:37:45.000
That was the worst fight where I was like, oh my god.
00:37:48.000
Yeah, when he got KO'd, you know, it was tough to watch.
00:37:54.000
I told you, man, when Little Nog fought Anthony Johnson, I was in the back, warming Pat Cummings up, because I was calling Pat for that fight, and he was just so beat up, and his body was so beat up, he couldn't even hit mitts.
00:38:15.000
Walks up, goes out there, gets fucking annihilated.
00:38:18.000
Do you think that he's just had too many fights?
00:38:25.000
You're talking about one of the best ever, man.
00:38:29.000
Jamie Varner was saying that he believes he's had about 30 concussions.
00:38:45.000
But whatever it was, his doctor urged him to retire.
00:38:48.000
And, you know, then he started talking about cognitive issues, memory issues, things along those lines.
00:38:54.000
Then he sees a cognitive therapist once a week to deal with them.
00:39:02.000
I can't name too many fighters who have retired where I'm like, God damn, that guy's sharp.
00:39:12.000
When you talk to Randy, Randy Couture is very lucid.
00:39:37.000
Dude, he got a rear naked choke in his first UFC. Randy Couture.
00:39:47.000
And he fought this other dude, too, that night that had real promise.
00:39:56.000
He might have mounted him and ground and pounded him.
00:39:59.000
But the Tony Halma one was big right hand, ducked under it, took him down, had his will with him.
00:40:07.000
How about when Lyoto kicked his tooth out and he's like, you know what?
00:40:23.000
I feel real bad that he and the UFC had that falling out.
00:40:28.000
Like he cornered his son or some shit like that, right?
00:40:30.000
Well, I don't know if you can quantify what started it out, but I think the thing that kicked it into overdrive, I think there was a few issues over the years, but the thing that kicked it into overdrive was him doing that Bellator show.
00:40:46.000
Yeah, after they put him in the UFC Hall of Fame, he signed up to do that Bellator show.
00:40:56.000
We all have different opinions about these things.
00:41:03.000
I mean, different opinions about whether or not he should have been able to go into some rival organization and pump up the organization.
00:41:17.000
If people offer you some money, you know, and you have an opportunity like that.
00:41:20.000
The UFC's not giving him a stipend after he's retired.
00:41:23.000
I got weird feelings on competitiveness in MMA right now.
00:41:30.000
Competition amongst organizations in MMA. And my weird feeling is, I don't think it's necessary.
00:41:37.000
And I think it'll be a lot less of this now that Scott Coker is over at Bellator.
00:41:55.000
They worked with him when he was the owner of Strikeforce, and it is possible.
00:42:02.000
It's all fun and games until Bellator's a legit threat.
00:42:09.000
I don't miss the UFC. Don't even matter how I'm UFC to the day I die, but I don't miss one.
00:42:15.000
Marcin Held has got some fucking nasty jujitsu.
00:42:31.000
He thought he won the fight, but it was a very close fight.
00:42:36.000
Yeah, Schilling did more damage, but the dude did get dominant position on him a bunch of times, which shouldn't mean as much, but oftentimes the way they score it, it does.
00:42:43.000
When the guy's on top of you and side control for a prolonged period of time, for whatever reason, that's worth a lot, even if he doesn't hurt you.
00:42:52.000
We should probably figure out what is one thing where you're controlling a guy, but if you're controlling a guy and you're not getting any damage done, what difference does that make?
00:43:02.000
Is it 50% of controlling a guy and doing damage?
00:43:07.000
The one positive thing I saw in Bellator is when homeboy Emmanuel fought.
00:43:22.000
If you watch that fight, Emmanuel took the guy down a ton and the guy was so active off his back, triangle, armbar, so active, and they gave him the win.
00:43:34.000
You get that kid on his back and he's scrambling on his back.
00:43:44.000
That's what I'm interested in seeing in this fight.
00:43:58.000
Speaking of tough fights, I saw a fucking Machida yesterday spar five rounds like it was nothing.
00:44:22.000
His athletic prime is probably, you know, right now is about maintaining the super high level he's at right now.
00:44:31.000
In this day and age, without taking anything, you're going to start to experience that pretty significant diminishment.
00:44:39.000
I'm telling you, man, though, there's no one more professional than him.
00:44:42.000
They need a documentary on Liotto just called The Professional.
00:44:58.000
They're like, yo, you can't be drinking piss again.
00:45:09.000
After I saw Machido do it, I was like, shit, I'm just going to heat this shit up.
00:45:13.000
You know, everybody makes it out that it's a big deal.
00:45:17.000
I did it with a DJ on the radio and he almost threw up.
00:45:29.000
But there is some thought that certain vitamins or antioxidants...
00:45:36.000
I would never do it if I read about it today, but when I did it back in the day, I was a little bit more susceptible to...
00:45:41.000
The internet has schooled me on the reality of drinking your piss.
00:45:44.000
I was in the UFC, I saw the cheetah do it, and I started drinking piss, man.
00:45:56.000
Why do we need our dicks to get rid of liquid waste?
00:46:04.000
What I'm thinking is your piss is designed to clean that important urethra out multiple times a day cleaning bacteria so that your piss can't be filled with bacteria.
00:46:20.000
Your body made cleaner for your dick to keep it clean.
00:46:24.000
So when you shoot out sperm, it's healthy and clean.
00:46:40.000
There has to be a special reason for piss, or otherwise we just piss out of our asses.
00:46:45.000
But women don't ejaculate, and they pee out of their vaginas, too.
00:46:49.000
So, that throws a little monkey wrench into it.
00:47:05.000
Yeah, whatever the difference in the chromosomes are.
00:47:07.000
Obviously, I'm doing a shitty job of the biology here, but we're XY. That's what men are.
00:47:20.000
But everything in the beginning, every embryo, whatever it is, every embryo starts out as a female.
00:47:26.000
And then we're raised to be obsessed with as men.
00:47:30.000
No, when it comes to women, to less than nothing.
00:47:50.000
I'm just trying to figure out what you're saying.
00:47:52.000
You know, when a girl likes a guy's private parts, there's actually six, seven, eight inches of a thing that they have to...
00:48:07.000
When it comes to female genitalia, we are obsessed with a void.
00:48:13.000
Not only is there no eight inches, but it goes eight inches deep of nothingness.
00:48:45.000
Why the fuck does that say Jacare versus Chris Camozzi?
00:49:45.000
I was doing it myself, you know, for like two or three months, and you just can't do that, man.
00:49:51.000
And do they prepare the meals for you and everything?
00:50:01.000
So do you get one of those body fat tests and a body composition test?
00:50:08.000
I just don't want to drive out there and do all that shit.
00:50:10.000
The good thing with those is those are numbers.
00:50:14.000
You got to make sure that you're hydrated because those things, the equipment that they use, unless they're dunking you, It can be a little fuckery.
00:50:23.000
There's always like a plus or minus 3% on those things, right?
00:50:28.000
I think they say the calipers, the little pinchy things, are like the least effective.
00:50:38.000
Dude, he's only been doing MMA for like six years.
00:50:59.000
Because in Denver, Colorado, we call him fucking Jan, alright?
00:51:37.000
I'm taking my boy Yan, or as we call him in Denver.
00:51:49.000
I guess this guy's just a hero out there in Poland.
00:51:52.000
My feelings about this whole Bellator UFC thing is, there doesn't have to be some crazy fucking hatred between the organizations.
00:52:02.000
I really believe that the sport of MMA still has room to grow.
00:52:06.000
And I think that a big organization that is alongside the UFC is not a bad thing.
00:52:16.000
It's better for the athletes than it is the UFC. It's very good for the athletes.
00:52:19.000
I think the UFC is obviously above and beyond in terms of the talent.
00:52:28.000
But it's not a bad thing to have Bellator around.
00:52:35.000
I enjoyed the shit out of Joe Schilling's fight.
00:52:38.000
I like how Joe Schilling does glory and Bellator.
00:52:51.000
How many of those Bellator guys do you think would come over to the UFC? They're champs and do well?
00:53:04.000
Well, he fought Donald, and Donald was on point.
00:53:17.000
Look at all the fighters that came from Strikeforce and...
00:53:38.000
This is your best fight on the card right here.
00:53:41.000
I'm very curious to see what happens in the main event.
00:53:44.000
It feels 2003. We're already at the co-main event?
00:54:02.000
Man, we've been here one hour and we're already at the co-main event.
00:54:10.000
Eddie Alvarez lost to Cowboy and they lost one more.
00:54:13.000
Okay, the last fights for Benson were Brandon Thatch, and then the Donald Cowboy Cerrone fight, and then Rafael Dos Anjos.
00:54:48.000
Oh, Cerrone beat him, and then who beat him after Cerrone, though?
00:55:03.000
Yeah, he beat Michael Chandler to leave Bellator.
00:55:17.000
It keeps kicking me off and I have to re-log in.
00:55:41.000
You're trying to give him more losses because he's so handsome.
00:55:47.000
I'm really excited to see him adjust to the higher level of competition because I think he will.
00:55:57.000
He needs some work with his leg kick checking, obviously.
00:56:00.000
I just don't think he ever fought a guy who is as slick as Donald on his feet.
00:56:04.000
When you say higher level guys, who are you talking about?
00:56:12.000
It all depends on how much damage he got through those Chandler fights.
00:56:26.000
But you know as well as I know, when you have a wild style like that, there's only so much fucking area on the board.
00:56:35.000
You get to a higher level where the pros go, okay, you're wild, check this out.
00:56:40.000
Yeah, well, just open yourself up, you know, and it makes it super exciting.
00:56:45.000
I mean, we all know those guys who just go to war at the beginning of every fucking round, and they're super exciting to watch.
00:56:54.000
And then next thing you know, two years down the road, you're fucking three and six sitting at home watching these guys who were winning by wrestling and being smart.
00:57:09.000
So it's like no one, if you win that way, you did the right thing.
00:57:12.000
But if you want to look at it as a long-term proposition.
00:57:18.000
The long-term proposition is, yes, Leonard Garcia is a good example.
00:57:22.000
Plus you gotta remember the amount it takes on your brain.
00:57:31.000
How do you say Buckwaltz, how do you say his name?
00:57:39.000
Jan went to the barber and said, can I just get that Chuck Liddell?
00:57:42.000
Is there any way you can just give me the Chuck Liddell?
00:58:09.000
I like his chances, although he's the underdog.
00:58:11.000
A good fucking jab is one of the most underrated weapons, man.
00:58:14.000
And the UFC, I think it's still the most underutilized tool.
00:58:20.000
Yeah, I think kicks are definitely underutilized as well, but man, there's something about a jab.
00:58:27.000
Look at GSP. Yeah, if you've got a real good jab, you can really disrupt a guy striking.
00:58:36.000
No, I like the way he's throwing that jab, man.
00:59:03.000
Like I said, though, you get to those higher levels, man.
00:59:10.000
Gustafson showed what he's made of in that fight.
00:59:12.000
This is like Gustafson and Anthony Rumble Johnson stuff going back and forth on Twitter.
00:59:22.000
You absolutely positive that it was a headbutt?
00:59:30.000
It seemed to me like it was definitely a headbutt.
00:59:35.000
Before I would say, you know, oh, it was a headbutt.
00:59:38.000
It was one of those ones where he was throwing the right hand at the same time.
00:59:44.000
Man, when you watch the tape in slow motion, it looks like the head does land first.
00:59:50.000
Yeah, and the right hand did land behind the headbutt.
00:59:55.000
It's a question of which one fucked him up first.
00:59:58.000
The headbutt definitely, if he did crack into him, which I believe he probably did, it looks like from the angle, it's not one of those definite ones.
01:00:05.000
You know, where you could see absolutely side-on.
01:00:13.000
Did you hear Alexander said he wanted to retire after that fight?
01:00:18.000
In front of your hometown, home country like that.
01:00:26.000
And Glover is, you know, I usually walk around like 230, 240?
01:00:33.000
Well, he realized in that last fight that he just didn't have the gas tank to deal with Phil Davis.
01:00:39.000
And he also trained in, like, Connecticut in a garage.
01:00:52.000
I think it might have had something to do with family or something like that.
01:00:56.000
So he put together his own crew down there of good guys, but you know what, man?
01:01:01.000
I mean, how many dudes, I don't have to tell you, how many dudes don't have someone managing their training?
01:01:05.000
How many dudes don't have someone who's like a Mark Henry type dude?
01:01:13.000
The main event in this, Gabriel Gonzaga, a guy who just has trained out of Team Link.
01:01:23.000
Who knows the potential he could have had if he went to Greg Jackson's or American Top Team.
01:01:37.000
When Randy Couture beat him, he beat him when he was in his total prime.
01:01:49.000
Even Gonzaga out of his prime is a fucking beast, man.
01:01:54.000
That was the scaredest I've ever been for a fight, hands down.
01:02:05.000
You know, he's knocked out some fucking monster.
01:02:21.000
Do you think that's just because you've had so many experiences?
01:02:24.000
And in the training room, I go against scary dudes all the time.
01:02:30.000
There's nothing like that fear of God in you to make you...
01:02:35.000
It becomes almost too confident or too comfortable.
01:02:40.000
Jimmy Mano was throwing some nasty kicks, dude.
01:02:54.000
And he's really worked on his boxing his last few fights, and I think that could be a really interesting aspect in this fight.
01:03:05.000
Gonzaga on top of you is some of the best jiu-jitsu in the UFC, man.
01:03:08.000
Why do you think he abandoned that and just decided to bang?
01:03:16.000
If you remember that, he was kind of whooping Shane's ass.
01:03:19.000
Yeah, it was 40 seconds, but he took Shane down, rocked him, took him down, and Shane got up and said, oh, cool story.
01:03:27.000
He had Shane hurt, and he got careless, and he ran into a short punch that just kicked the fucking generator down the street.
01:03:37.000
It was a generator tumbling down the street with a cord following behind it.
01:03:44.000
That's what happened to his brain with that right hand connected.
01:03:47.000
I also think Gonzaga has a mental issue with cardio.
01:03:50.000
So when you want to grapple a wrestler guy, especially in the UFC at this point, it's going to take a lot of energy.
01:03:58.000
Dude, Shane Carwin is probably the last guy you want to get hit with a short punch from.
01:04:28.000
He has an underhook and he's smashing uppercuts through with fucking ferocious intention.
01:04:35.000
That was some of the best striking from the clinch in the heavyweight division I've ever seen.
01:04:43.000
No, I don't think there's any other heavyweight who can hit like Shane from an underhook with that much power.
01:04:49.000
Name someone who's knocking dudes out like that.
01:04:50.000
No, he hits you so fucking hard, and he's fast and loose even for a big giant dude.
01:05:01.000
I think his deal, Shane's deal, unfortunately, in the UFC will always have been the injuries that he sustained before he got to the UFC. 100%.
01:05:09.000
It's too bad because he was a real goddamn freak.
01:05:15.000
Shane in his prime when he's getting ready for Gonzaga is the best fighter I've ever seen.
01:05:32.000
When I hear about a dude like that, that's, you know, the back issues just ultimately ended it, and you think about all the hits that he probably took in football, and you could erase those and see a guy like that compete without coming in already fucked up to a certain extent.
01:06:02.000
Todd Duffy and I were training partners for a while.
01:06:05.000
Todd's biggest problem has always been himself.
01:06:09.000
If he's tentative against Frank, he's gonna get destroyed.
01:06:12.000
If Todd Duffy performs like he does in the training room, Todd Duffy's probably gonna be fighting for a title next year.
01:06:22.000
No, for reals though, anyone who's ever trained with Todd, ask DC, ask Kane, he's been at AKA, ask everyone down in Florida at ATT. He's been in Denver, he's been to fucking every gym in America.
01:06:34.000
But if Todd performs like he does in the training room, he's a fucking nightmare.
01:06:38.000
But when you see him in the octagon, it's just not there yet.
01:06:43.000
You know, if you look at some of his finest moments, the Anthony Hamilton fight, goddamn, he throws some fucking fast power punches still.
01:06:51.000
Anthony Hamilton's not gonna fucking, you know?
01:07:03.000
Well, Frank Mir, how about that fucking jab, left hook?
01:07:10.000
There's never been a fight that Frank's fought besides Shane Carwin where I don't root for Frank Mir.
01:07:14.000
What he's done for the sport, I root for him every single time.
01:07:21.000
He threw that faint jab, left hook, knocked Bigfoot out.
01:07:28.000
I mean, Bigfoot went down pretty quick against Orlovsky, and he went down pretty quick against Frank Mir, and we know for a fact that Bigfoot, if anybody needs testosterone replacement therapy, it's Bigfoot.
01:07:39.000
Bigfoot has a legit tumor on his pituitary gland.
01:07:43.000
Apparently, according to the interviews that he's done, he would have to get surgery, and he's going to eventually get surgery to have it removed.
01:07:51.000
You know, but his testosterone is not like normal persons.
01:07:56.000
I hate to be shitty about it because I love Bigfoot.
01:08:00.000
But if you require that and you can't fight in the UFC. Right.
01:08:02.000
Because I want the same shit you're taking then.
01:08:08.000
But you would have to, if you were going to do that, if you're going to let people do it, you would have to be monitoring them all times of the day to make sure they're not putting superhuman levels in, and then everybody would have a level of testosterone they're allowed to achieve.
01:08:29.000
I mean, that's not outside the realm of possibility.
01:08:30.000
They have watches that tell your fucking heartbeat now.
01:08:34.000
If they could figure out a way to test your testosterone, maybe just point your camera at your dick every day and it would know just by the way the dick's moving.
01:08:41.000
But then your testosterone goes up real high, right?
01:08:44.000
Like, if I'm a ladies man, I'm just destroying chicks.
01:08:46.000
I'm like, goddamn, Schaub's testosterone was like nine times high this day.
01:08:51.000
Yeah, if you could be around a bunch of pretty ladies.
01:08:56.000
I'm in L.A. Someone in Idaho is probably not the same, you know?
01:09:01.000
That men around attractive women, like literally, their bodies produce more testosterone.
01:09:09.000
Like a rumbling engine, like a V8, like your American muscle car.
01:09:13.000
For whatever reason, that makes your body produce more testosterone.
01:09:32.000
You think about things that actually make your body produce more hormones.
01:09:40.000
Isn't it funny, though, that you're criticized for being a foolish person?
01:09:50.000
I'm sorry to my fucking DNA to love big-ass titties and Porsches.
01:09:55.000
Yeah, you're sorry that you enjoy some of the most fun things ever.
01:10:25.000
We did talk about titties and why we love them.
01:10:31.000
Yeah, it's funny that certain things are thought of to be for fools.
01:10:35.000
But cool cars are one of them, for whatever reason.
01:10:39.000
You're never going to see a science professional that drives a sick vet.
01:10:44.000
A sick vet and just have a girlfriend with a blowout ass.
01:10:49.000
I mean, Neil deGrasse Tyson's probably the closest.
01:10:52.000
But he would have to put on a mask when he was driving around a Corvette.
01:10:58.000
People wouldn't take him seriously if he was ballin' in a sweet Corvette.
01:11:02.000
Yeah, there's no college professors out there with Ferraris and girlfriends as big-ass dudes.
01:11:23.000
Wasn't that great of a father, according to this documentary.
01:11:25.000
And then ended up marrying his cousin, and she became like his manager, too.
01:11:48.000
So the deal was when girls would come over, they'd have to bring her chocolates.
01:11:58.000
Chocolates, now I'm going to go suck your man's dick.
01:11:59.000
And then they jump in the car and disappear for a couple days.
01:12:21.000
Yeah, you know who's allowed to that are sort of scientists?
01:12:28.000
Well, they're not scientists, but they're super geniuses.
01:12:37.000
Those super geniuses like the John Carmack type characters.
01:12:47.000
Yeah, he's the lead software guy, the lead designer, whatever, the lead computer genius at Quake, at id.
01:12:56.000
At id Game Crea- I don't know what the actual name of the studio.
01:13:01.000
But they created Doom, they created Quake 1, Quake 2, Quake 3, Quake 4. Yeah, they made a bunch of fucking crazy games.
01:13:11.000
That John Carmack guy, in his spare time, he turbo charges Ferraris.
01:13:15.000
He takes a Ferrari and he's like, mmm, not strong enough.
01:13:19.000
And he bolts gigantic turbochargers to Ferraris.
01:13:28.000
Does he live in LA? No, he lives in Dallas, Texas.
01:13:33.000
Like, you know, I have a dull mind, as it were, but when I talk to, like, legit super geniuses, I'm usually okay.
01:13:40.000
But when I'm with Carmack, I'm like, don't make mistakes.
01:13:57.000
Like if you're on a motorcycle and you're following a guy who's a motorcycle racer and you're trying to keep up with him and you know you shouldn't be driving this fast.
01:14:12.000
Well, he would talk about programming and he would talk about code and coding.
01:14:22.000
I believe he's like 40 now, because Quake has been around for a long time.
01:14:27.000
I mean, they created Quake, I think, in the early 90s.
01:14:33.000
Would you rather be a super athlete like Michael Jordan or a straight fucking genius like an Einstein or your boy at Quake?
01:14:44.000
I think genetically, I don't think they're mutually exclusive.
01:14:46.000
I think it's very possible that you can get a guy who has the physical talents of Michael Jordan and has an insanely powerful brain.
01:14:59.000
But the thing is, in order to have that much knowledge in your head and that much data bouncing around your head, you're not going to be in the gym and you're never going to reach that level.
01:15:08.000
There's one or the other in terms of what you focus your attention on.
01:15:12.000
But in terms of having the brain that has the capacity to reach super genius levels, I don't think they're mutually exclusive.
01:15:21.000
Do you take the hundred smartest guys in the world...
01:15:28.000
You take the hundred smartest guys in the world.
01:15:40.000
I didn't think that one was going to be a decision.
01:15:46.000
It's going to be tough for Jimmy to get a decision win.
01:15:56.000
I would imagine, because they have big promotions out there.
01:16:00.000
It's a big promotion that Jan was a previous champ of.
01:16:20.000
Manawa throws those nasty knees to the body, man.
01:16:28.000
We weren't watching the second round close enough.
01:16:31.000
Because we were talking all kinds of shit about booties and Mustangs and shit.
01:16:40.000
That guy had a Corvette that was hydrogen powered.
01:16:46.000
He took a Corvette and converted the engine to run on hydrogen.
01:16:57.000
Either he's telling the truth or if he's lying, he's one of the greatest actors.
01:17:03.000
You've got to be able to fake some genius shit.
01:17:10.000
You're better at explaining that shit than I am.
01:17:13.000
Bob Lazar was a former scientist, according to him, was a former scientist.
01:17:17.000
He worked at Area 51. They brought him in because he was a scientist and because he knew a lot about propulsion systems and theoretical propulsion systems.
01:17:28.000
He's like, I guess he's a physicist or something like that.
01:17:30.000
I don't know what his background is as far as his education.
01:17:34.000
There's a lot of people that say that he fudged his education.
01:17:38.000
However, this guy says that he was working in Area 51. And he was working on something.
01:17:44.000
They brought him in to back engineer a UFO. They brought him in and they took him to some...
01:17:57.000
What I'm saying is this dude was working on what they were explaining to him, nothing.
01:18:03.000
But what he believed over time was that what he was working on was back-engineering a UFO from another world.
01:18:12.000
He is the most convincing of all the people that have ever heard discussed these things.
01:18:22.000
He breaks down anti-gravity and how it works and everything.
01:18:26.000
He definitely seems like a fucking very, very, very intelligent dude.
01:18:35.000
But I'm too dumb to know whether or not he's stupid.
01:18:41.000
Like, he sounds right, but it could be like some martial arts guy that's talking all kinds of mad nonsense about what his, you know, his chi gong is gonna do to you if you get near him.
01:18:50.000
And if you're not in that world, you're like, shit, son!
01:18:59.000
So, and if someone speaks well enough, we sort of, like, assume they know what the fuck they're talking about.
01:19:05.000
And I listen to him talk, and he sounds like he knows what the fuck he's talking about.
01:19:13.000
If you really want to get into it, you would have to Google it, because I haven't really read about it in about seven or eight years.
01:19:22.000
I kind of decided somewhere along the line there was no fruit in this pursuit, because they couldn't figure out whether or not he had lied about his educational background.
01:19:30.000
They couldn't figure out whether or not he had actually worked for the government.
01:19:37.000
Well, they found out that he did work for one of the labs that he said he worked for.
01:19:46.000
So how the fuck did he get that job if he didn't have, like, a super high-level education?
01:19:50.000
But who knows what the fuck he was doing there when he was working there?
01:19:53.000
People that are, like, real scientists have a lot of doubts about all the shit that he said.
01:20:04.000
If I want to pretend, because it is fun to pretend it's some fucking dude.
01:20:07.000
And there's so much footage of him being interviewed and explaining how it all works.
01:20:17.000
He could easily be full of shit, but fuck, this guy's good.
01:20:23.000
It sounds like he knows what he's talking about when he's discussing anti-gravity, but who the fuck knows?
01:20:28.000
But when you say all these other scientists are coming out, man, this dude's full of shit.
01:20:31.000
Well, when I say that, like Stanton Friedman, he's probably a bit of a hater, but he makes some good points, man.
01:20:38.000
When you say you graduated from, fill in the blank, MIT, whatever it is, you should be able to display a degree.
01:20:47.000
And if you're not on their records, and if you can't display a degree, then Then I have to dispute everything you've said.
01:20:55.000
But is it possible that, especially we're talking about something a long time ago, is it possible that someone could go back to the records at that school and scrub him from the records?
01:21:11.000
Why wouldn't one of just his classmates be like, yeah, I was in class with him.
01:21:15.000
Someone would come out and be like, I was in class with that fucking dork.
01:21:17.000
Yeah, well, he should be able to name his professors.
01:21:24.000
Yeah, from what I have read, I would say he hasn't, but who knows how much of what I've read is the truth or what Eddie was saying.
01:21:31.000
Because I know if I graduate from Harvard, I have a fucking Harvard shirt on right now.
01:21:37.000
Do you ever hear the Eliza Schlesinger story about Yale?
01:21:47.000
She dated this guy that was pretending he was from Yale.
01:21:52.000
She got catfished, and the dude said he was from Yale.
01:21:56.000
Like this dude made up a story about his mom having cancer.
01:22:03.000
Made up that he was rich when he's really like $100,000 in debt.
01:22:15.000
And then he got a credit card to take her out to like fancy dinners and shit.
01:22:18.000
But he racked up all this money on a credit card where he didn't have the money.
01:22:44.000
She said, though, he would lie about his mom being sick or dying, and so she didn't want to get too into it.
01:22:52.000
You know, like you don't want to dive into someone's mom dying.
01:22:58.000
I mean, how good was this guy in regular conversation?
01:23:04.000
Rafael Tori, Eddie Bravo, and I both have a story about a guy that was completely full of shit.
01:23:15.000
And when Eddie first introduced me to him, he was a reporter for websites.
01:23:20.000
He was going and doing the early MMA reporting.
01:23:23.000
And he would do like gonzo journalist questions, I think.
01:23:26.000
They were describing it as like you would ask dudes if they like fucking girls in the butt like weird weird weird questions and He was telling everybody that he was a black belt in jujitsu and then Eddie rolled with him and Eddie was like man, I don't know I mean maybe he's just like going really light No,
01:23:43.000
He said that he was half Brazilian, half Italian.
01:23:47.000
And his dad, who's Brazilian, was a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
01:23:52.000
And that he knew all the old guys, but he came from the Judo side.
01:23:57.000
We were old school Jiu-Jitsu than my dad gave me a black belt when I was 18 or whatever.
01:24:09.000
I'm a black belt, but I'm old school black belt.
01:24:14.000
I bet he was so nervous when he had to roll with you.
01:24:20.000
I mean, you weren't even good friends with him.
01:24:29.000
The UG? Yeah, for the UG. And he was always at shows that I would commentate, like King of the Cage.
01:24:43.000
So, I'll take you back to when Eddie exposed him.
01:24:47.000
And Eddie, we were driving back from, like, King of the Cage?
01:24:52.000
One of those MMA fights way out in the middle of nowhere.
01:25:02.000
You know, dudes pulled me to the side and said this and that.
01:25:34.000
Yeah, you were going, dude, dude, dude, stop lying to me.
01:25:50.000
Do you know how crazy it is that you tell me you're a black belt in jiu-jitsu?
01:25:55.000
It was pretty crazy and you could hear him like stammering and stuttering.
01:26:03.000
I wish I could remember all the shit that you said, but you broke it down in an undeniable way.
01:26:14.000
He cuts him off, and then our friend Gerald Streben, who was Eddie's first black belt, right?
01:26:24.000
Gerald Streben was my first Before I even had a school, he was my first student that did MMA. Before, there was no thought of Tenth Planet.
01:26:35.000
I was just showing Gerald Streep in some jujitsu.
01:26:38.000
I was commentator for King of the Cage, and that's how I met Gerald.
01:26:45.000
Okay, so Eddie comes and teaches him some real shit, has a bunch of real fights.
01:26:51.000
He gets contacted by this guy because the guy wants him to kill his girlfriend's husband.
01:27:00.000
He tells Gerald he wants him to kill his girlfriend's husband.
01:27:07.000
No, Gerald goes to the cops after he killed himself.
01:27:11.000
Apparently, like, had him come meet him at the gym, choked him to death, killed him, and then was seen driving around in his car.
01:27:23.000
You don't have to be to know how to rear naked choke somebody.
01:27:25.000
You know, you sneak up behind some fucking fat ass who doesn't work out at all, and you get a hold of his neck.
01:27:30.000
I mean, he wasn't, like, completely inept as a martial artist.
01:27:35.000
You know, he's like kind of an amateur martial artist.
01:27:37.000
There's some videos of him throwing a spinning back kick on a pad.
01:27:44.000
It really is like, you know, you getting a hold of Duncan and teaching Duncan some spinning back kicks for a couple weeks and then having him hit the pad.
01:27:54.000
Well, what's weird is this guy's been lying the whole time that he kills a guy with a jiu-jitsu move.
01:27:59.000
He kills a guy, and then he gives Gerald a gun to bury.
01:28:03.000
Before that, though, before the murder, he set up a fake fight in King of the Cage.
01:28:15.000
So he ends up getting this big, giant Samoan guy like in a...
01:28:21.000
It's like a knee bar that's like that, and the guy just starts tapping, and he won.
01:28:26.000
He told everybody he was 14-0 in MMA, but they were all undocumented fights.
01:28:30.000
Dude, I commentated that fight, and I was saying, Rafael Torres returns to MMA to defend his undefeated record.
01:28:49.000
He had a friend drive him out to the woods, and he brought with him a giant duffel bag.
01:29:01.000
You know, if I win, I'm gonna make a lot of money, and I'll come back with first place.
01:29:08.000
Yeah, so he says to the dude, come back tomorrow.
01:29:11.000
This was a newspaper journalist, a newspaper writer.
01:29:15.000
He took the local guy, a newspaper writer, and goes, I haven't told anybody, but I'm going to, in the woods, there's going to be this kumate.
01:29:24.000
He goes, but I need you, I want you to write the story on this, but you're going to drop me off.
01:29:31.000
So the newspaper writer drops him off like in the middle of nowhere in the woods, and he says, come back for me in two days, right?
01:29:40.000
And the guy had a big duffel bag with him, right?
01:29:45.000
So the guy comes back two days later and picks him up.
01:29:50.000
He came out, and then he had this giant trophy.
01:29:53.000
Oh my god, that motherfucker packed the trophy?
01:30:03.000
He takes that story, frames it, and puts it up out of school.
01:30:15.000
At least you got a legit fighter coming out right now.
01:30:21.000
First of all, we don't know if he didn't go to Akuma Tang.
01:30:30.000
So Gerald calls me and tells me that the guy gave him the gun or something like that.
01:30:47.000
And they want to know what I know about the murder.
01:30:55.000
Because they were listening in on our conversation.
01:31:04.000
I don't know if he really killed the guy or not.
01:31:08.000
This guy's so fucking crazy, he made that up too.
01:31:12.000
At this point, at least I think this, it's pretty much proven that he killed the guy now.
01:31:17.000
But, so, you know, I got involved in it too, man.
01:31:22.000
Don't bring me to court because I met Rafael Torre at Eddie's house.
01:31:29.000
And then it gets even darker because Gerald killed somebody one day.
01:31:33.000
Gerald killed somebody like a year ago in a traffic-related incident.
01:31:37.000
Some guy and him were having some road rage incident and it got physical.
01:31:43.000
Gerald was actually on the phone with 911 and he fucking shot this dude.
01:31:47.000
And now he's in jail and he's on trial right now.
01:32:00.000
Like, he stopped his car, pulled it in reverse, and rammed him.
01:32:03.000
Like, they were having, like, some road raid incident, and that guy was drunk.
01:32:10.000
He has his rifle, and the guy's talking shit, and he's coming for him, and Gerald starts...
01:32:15.000
He's, like, on the other side of the car, calling 911, said, you know, don't get near me.
01:32:23.000
The guy came to him, and Gerald thought he had a gun, too, and he pulled it out, and he shot him.
01:32:48.000
He was on 911 saying, I got this crazy guy who just tried to run me off the road.
01:32:59.000
People are basing the possibility that Gerald might have been more of an instigator based on some of the things that he wrote on Facebook.
01:33:07.000
Apparently he had written something about, like, get out of my way when you're on the road, or something about...
01:33:13.000
And they'd been involved in some other sort of road rage type incident.
01:33:19.000
And also we have to deal with the fact that Gerald...
01:33:21.000
We know, for a fact, experienced a lot of action overseas.
01:33:27.000
He served, and then he came back and did some tours for one of those, what do they call them, contractors.
01:33:50.000
And when you're thinking about a person in an aggressive type situation and you've been in war before, you're used to people trying to kill you and you've got to kill them first.
01:34:01.000
He's in a different place than the average person.
01:34:03.000
So the average person that says, you know, hey, you can't consider the fact that he was, you know, in the war and he had PTSD. That's bullshit.
01:34:18.000
And there's some people that there's big misconceptions about martial artists that a true martial artist would have not used a gun, would have used his martial arts to handle the situation.
01:34:31.000
The more martial arts you learn, the more you know you need a goddamn gun in your house.
01:34:36.000
You need some guns because martial arts, the more you...
01:34:40.000
Learn it, you realize that's last resort when it's a life and death situation.
01:34:44.000
If it's in a sport or, you know, a controlled environment, that's one thing.
01:34:47.000
But, you know, Gerald thought the guy had a gun.
01:34:53.000
You're not going to drop your gun and double leg him and try to arm him.
01:35:01.000
If I have a gun and there's some crazy shit going down, guy's drunk, I'm gonna shoot you in the dick.
01:35:15.000
If that's exactly how it went down, I agree with you 100%.
01:35:19.000
Obviously, I'm not questioning anything, but I was not there.
01:35:28.000
He was reporting the situation before the shot.
01:35:31.000
The shot is actually caught on 9-1-1 on the call.
01:35:41.000
If that's exactly how it was happening, if he really did deal with a madman...
01:35:45.000
And as a veteran, you'd think they'd show him a little leeway.
01:35:49.000
No, no, there is history of past road rage, but that has nothing to do with this.
01:35:53.000
Just because you have a history of past road rage, you know...
01:35:57.000
If he shot, like, six motherfuckers previous, then we have a problem.
01:36:00.000
If he's shooting people, yes, but there are no records of that.
01:36:13.000
The fucked up shit is they got him in solitary confinement this whole time.
01:36:16.000
It's already been over a year and the trial don't start until January and he's in solitary.
01:36:35.000
They're trying to say that he has, you know, people have said he's been involved in road rage before.
01:36:43.000
I don't know if it's documented officially, but it has something to do with that.
01:36:48.000
But that has nothing to do with this situation.
01:37:03.000
He was talking, he was on 9-1-1, telling the guy to back off, back off.
01:37:12.000
I mean, it's on the record, so they're fucking him, man.
01:37:20.000
I feel like we're missing a piece of the story.
01:37:27.000
Some people just get fucked, and he's getting fucked.
01:37:32.000
It's either gonna be one of the saddest things we've ever watched, or it's gonna be a fucking classic.
01:37:37.000
Well, you've got to think that Mirko wants that win back.
01:37:43.000
That was his big fight in the UFC. His second event, right?
01:37:57.000
If you remember that, Randy was cage-side, and he was like, man, I'd rather fight Crow Cop.
01:38:01.000
Gabriel Gonzaga's too well-rounded, if you remember that.
01:38:09.000
There's something about Gonzaga when he walks on the scale, you know when I do the weigh-ins?
01:38:19.000
Tell you what, man, I fought both of them, and Mirko Krokop is the strongest guy I've ever fought, bar none.
01:38:34.000
Cro-Cop was like moving like the Thing from Fantastic Four.
01:38:43.000
I've heard people say the same thing about Dan Henderson, but Cro-Cop, yeah.
01:38:46.000
Listen, I fought a roided-up fucking LeVar Johnson.
01:38:49.000
He was nowhere near as strong as Marco Cro-Cop.
01:39:00.000
We have the same masseuse, and she says it's just a beast.
01:39:09.000
Well, he developed a lot of really good takedown defense in Pride.
01:39:12.000
If you look at his first fights in Pride, like the first fight with Vandele, when they had those special rules, beautiful right hand.
01:39:23.000
Well, you gotta remember, too, as Krokop, early in his career, he flew out Verdum before Verdum was really anything to work on his grappling.
01:39:46.000
Objectively, Gonzaga's been fighting in the UFC at a lot longer, higher level.
01:39:58.000
It just seems like Krokop, over his last few fights, he's just...
01:40:20.000
260. I think he might, when he's in crazy shape, get down to 245. That's insane.
01:40:33.000
And for him to, you know, beat Ishii twice, I don't know how tough Ishii is, man.
01:40:44.000
He doesn't want to kick because he doesn't want to get taken down.
01:40:46.000
He knows if he gets taken down, he's in big trouble.
01:40:49.000
Some of the best takedown defense ever in the UFC. What'd they say?
01:40:56.000
I tried taking Gonzaga, and I tried double-hugging him.
01:41:00.000
He sprawled every bit of fucking, whatever it is, 260 on my little neck.
01:41:06.000
Cro Cop's a bit tentative, and Gonzaga keeps doing that lunging double right hand.
01:41:17.000
Well, maybe he had a plan of waiting into the round before he opened it up.
01:41:20.000
You don't think his corner could speak in Croatian?
01:41:32.000
It's not that bad, but this motherfucker's heavy.
01:41:42.000
If you can get Gonzaga down from his back, he's not such a threat, but on top, man, that's his game.
01:41:59.000
Crow Cop has always been, like, real explosive.
01:42:05.000
I remember I had Crow Cop in guard, and he got his feet on my hip, and then just straight.
01:42:13.000
This is what he's worried about, too, is the elbows.
01:42:15.000
He was talking about this, that that was the big difference in the first fight, and he said that MMA probably should get rid of elbows, because it causes a lot of blood, and people don't want to see blood.
01:42:38.000
Damn, I thought he was ready to tap as he went down.
01:42:49.000
But it looked like he was reaching for it right away.
01:42:58.000
This Gonzaga using his grappling, he's going to be tough to beat, man.
01:43:02.000
I'm impressed with the Crow Cop recovering and getting back to full guard, if you ask me.
01:43:07.000
He was mounted and now he's not mounting anymore.
01:43:17.000
Krokop worked with Verdum and Dean Lister for years.
01:43:28.000
He's just not at the level where he can attack.
01:43:43.000
I think when Crow Cop goes in the fight, that's the least of his concerns is submitting somebody.
01:43:47.000
That was the second fight after Randleman KO'd him.
01:43:57.000
I don't know if we'll ever see better fighting than then.
01:44:03.000
He didn't know who the fuck was going to fight until about a week out.
01:44:14.000
I put together those Ice House shows like four days out.
01:44:18.000
How cool were those days where you had two giant, legit MMA organizations.
01:44:45.000
In the scramble, he looked pretty wild, but it wasn't as close as I thought it was.
01:44:48.000
I'll tell you what, if any guy has cardio issues between these two, it's Gonzaga.
01:44:52.000
He's always had some issues when he gets later in the rounds.
01:44:54.000
Do you think that's because of training at Team Link and not training at ATT or something like that?
01:45:00.000
Like, when you're always a bully, when you're on top, it's easy to go three rounds.
01:45:08.000
Right, and you've got to get used to moving in those positions.
01:45:13.000
And you're developing technique and you're developing endurance when you're moving in those positions when you're tired.
01:45:20.000
And that's something that people kind of don't know until they get in there and do it.
01:45:25.000
Like, I'm sure Crowcrop was in Mount during camp.
01:45:32.000
But if Gonzaga can get him to the ground like that again...
01:45:40.000
I mean, we're watching him in the main event right now, so obviously everything's going well.
01:45:57.000
You're not taking him down against the cage, son.
01:46:28.000
Krokop looks like he's just gonna eat a right hand at any second.
01:46:36.000
You know what I liked about Gonzaga's leg attack was he was completely safe from being punched.
01:46:42.000
He jumped on that foot, and that was a safe position.
01:46:45.000
If he would have cranked it a little better or had a better angle at it...
01:46:48.000
Because usually you see when guys go for leg locks or knee bars, they're usually eating punches.
01:46:55.000
Especially if you shoot up for a leg lock and the guy's still standing.
01:47:10.000
That's an old-school move, the making you do the splits.
01:47:31.000
Because Krokop, even laying under there, he's going to eat those fucking body shots.
01:48:02.000
So that must have been a big part of his strategy.
01:48:05.000
He must have knew he would be here and would attack that leg to try to get a better position.
01:48:15.000
And he also knows that he's robbing Mirko of his vitality every time he smushes his face like that.
01:48:22.000
Plus, if you're a jiu-jitsu world champion, this is a walk in the park, being on top position here.
01:48:39.000
He was like, I don't even need to bother with side control.
01:48:43.000
Do you see how there was no air in his transition?
01:48:50.000
Now, if you're a crow cop, you can only get mounted so many times.
01:48:58.000
To get a 265 pound world champ off you is going to be tough.
01:49:01.000
And as Hoist Grace would always say, he's cooking them right now, you know?
01:49:07.000
By wearing a mount like this before he attempts to spin him.
01:49:11.000
I hate when guys on the bottom of a mount try to punch.
01:49:17.000
Well, the striker, though, dude, they feel like any time they have a chance to pop your chin.
01:49:21.000
A dude knocked a guy out from the mount before in Japan.
01:49:58.000
You know, it's interesting that Krokop was always hot open.
01:50:02.000
It's interesting that he's setting up a triangle.
01:50:04.000
Krokop was talking about how he didn't like the cuts because he didn't like the blood from the elbows.
01:50:19.000
That is exactly what Crow Cop was saying that he thinks needs to change about MMA in Gonzaga.
01:50:26.000
Gonzaga just said, oh, I know what you don't like.
01:50:31.000
But the only type of person that says that about grappling and elbows is the type of person that doesn't want to get that happen to them.
01:50:38.000
As far as him being able to do it to someone, of course he would want to be able to do it.
01:50:46.000
Didn't he mount somebody before and fuck him up from the mount?
01:51:00.000
He picked it up and then tripped out the left leg.
01:51:13.000
Once he gets on top, man, that's nasty control.
01:51:18.000
If Krokop were to lose this fight, do you think he fights again in the UFC? That's a good question.
01:51:29.000
He's still, you know, like one of the most important guys in the history of MMA. Ever.
01:51:36.000
But at what point does the UFC say, you know what?
01:51:40.000
Well, he definitely is not going to fight Gonzaga next unless he beats him.
01:51:44.000
I mean, if he KOs him right here, we stop talking.
01:51:46.000
If he fucking head kicks Gonzaga right here, we stop talking.
01:51:51.000
He's a great guy for the UFC to open new markets in Europe, right?
01:51:55.000
You want to have a UFC in the Ukraine or something?
01:52:02.000
Well, if he wants to fight again in Croatia, even if he's not the main event, they'll still sell the motherfucker out.
01:52:11.000
And, like we said, undeniable, one of the legends of the game.
01:52:31.000
Gotta see him open up with that kick, maybe even to the body.
01:52:50.000
Yeah, held him down, beat on him, but he definitely took way less damage.
01:52:59.000
Dude, if he's tired, I could see Crow Cop winning this.
01:53:06.000
Bro, three minutes to go and you got two more rounds, bro.
01:53:14.000
And he's failed in his last two takedown attempts.
01:53:18.000
I'm telling you, man, against the cage, save your fucking energy.
01:54:00.000
He should have stood over him like a horse dance and punched him.
01:54:19.000
Even if this was only a three-rounder with two minutes to go, you could still finish him here.
01:54:28.000
And you gotta think, this is a real striker throwing from tight quarters.
01:54:31.000
He might not be able to use his body, but guaranteed, he generates way more power than the average person in his positions.
01:55:02.000
That was some of the best elbows from the guard in MMA ever.
01:55:10.000
He should be taking dudes down and staying in their guard.
01:55:15.000
How ironic is it that grappling and elbows are what won him to fight?
01:55:24.000
Would you put any money off if you said, hey, Crow Cop's gonna take...
01:55:26.000
He's gonna get Gonzaga's guard and elbow the shit out of TKL. And it started with that elbow standing.
01:55:34.000
Look, Gonzaga's hurt right there just trying to hang on.
01:55:57.000
We gotta see some of those elbows from the guard.
01:56:17.000
The best place for the best striker ever to be is in the guard throwing those strikes.
01:56:26.000
But when you think about it, on the ground, he can generate power in real short areas.
01:56:33.000
It all comes back to Mark Coleman, the wrestler.
01:56:45.000
This is the only guy I would never instruct to pass the guard.
01:58:24.000
What if he just goes on a tear on everyone who beat him?
01:58:42.000
One or two weeks, I'll take a rest and train again.
01:58:47.000
Now, if anybody had ever told him to retire after his losses, you know, he would have missed out on this glory, right?
01:58:55.000
But what do you think is the balance between a guy like this, who is just going to press on and still, at times like tonight, be spectacularly successful, or a guy like Jamie Varner, who says, you know what,
01:59:12.000
But a guy like Crow Cop, what's left for him to do?
01:59:16.000
Well, he obviously loves this as much as anything in life.
01:59:19.000
And this moment right now is going to be one of the greatest moments that he'll ever remember.
01:59:32.000
Most finishes in UFC pride, WEC, and Strikeforce ever.
01:59:39.000
Anderson behind that Shogun back in the day 16 Wow, that's nuts man.
01:59:46.000
That's nuts What a legend that guy is you go back to his highlight reel and pride though None better.
01:59:52.000
No one had a better highlight reel of finishes that kicked to the body on Heath Haring.
01:59:59.000
But it was like he went halfway into his body with that round kick.
02:00:03.000
You think about the guys he's beat, especially in the prime.
02:00:14.000
He lost to Minotauro, but Minotauro had the best chin in the world at the time.
02:00:22.000
And Krokop hit him with everything but the kitchen sink and the head kicked him at the end of the first round.
02:00:26.000
And when the round ended, Noguera thought for a second that they had stopped the fight.
02:00:34.000
Went out in the second round, took him down and armbarred him.
02:00:36.000
I think those were the golden years of MMA. I don't think we'll ever get it back.
02:00:41.000
Honestly, I think everybody always feels like the time that was passed was the great time.
02:00:45.000
But I think the time we're looking at right now, with the exception of a few divisions, is so much higher level than we've ever seen before.
02:00:52.000
I think it's higher level, but it's just not the same.
02:00:59.000
Anytime there's new shit, the old shit always looks better.
02:01:06.000
You could say, oh, I like early Iron Maiden or early Motley Crue.
02:01:10.000
I don't like the new album, which would be 1988. That would be new.
02:01:12.000
But now, 20 years later, that new album that came out in 1988, that's an old album and that's a classic now.
02:01:21.000
What Joe's saying is right now, we're going to look back in 20 years at this point and say, Yeah, I disagree.
02:01:30.000
Because now, if you want to be a fighter, you can do it.
02:01:34.000
When they were fighting, it was like, what the fuck?
02:01:42.000
Now, you know, I hate to be shitty, but you have some kids coming off the Ultimate Fighter or some girls who are 3-0 and they're on the big stage.
02:01:53.000
This rock and roll they play these kids these days.
02:02:04.000
You look at the level of experience and competition in those Pride tournaments, it's a higher level than we've ever been at.
02:02:13.000
I think back then you had Three guys that could strike really good.
02:02:17.000
And remember, BJ was the only guy that could box in the lightweight division.
02:02:21.000
Now everybody in the prelims, they're all good strikers now.
02:02:27.000
Yeah, like it used to be that only a couple guys had professional footwork.
02:02:31.000
But now anybody in the prelims, you can't get into the UFC unless you have professional footwork nowadays.
02:02:40.000
And now everyone is also incorporating a lot of that, what they call Neo footwork, that Dominic Cruz, TJ Dillashaw.
02:02:55.000
See, Led Zeppelin, outside of the plagiarism accusations that are pretty significant.
02:03:03.000
Goddamn, I don't think there's anybody today that can fuck with him.
02:03:05.000
They had some goddamn songs that were just so insanely good.
02:03:20.000
You know, there's a lot of bands that I think are on that level.
02:03:22.000
But I just, there's like, Hold Outta Love, I don't think there's a song that's ever been better.
02:03:26.000
There's different songs, there's awesome songs that are equally awesome, but there's none better.
02:03:32.000
It's up there with Voodoo Child, with Hendrix to me.
02:03:35.000
Think of when Krokop was fighting Vanderlei, Mark Hunt, fucking Josh Barnett.
02:03:45.000
He fought Vanderlei and then Josh Barnett in the same night.
02:03:54.000
These are some of the best that have ever done it.
02:04:04.000
When Krokop was at his very best, he hit him too, man.
02:04:21.000
That's how goddamn good Fedor was in his prime.
02:04:32.000
The games change where it's kind of like a foo-foo league now.
02:04:35.000
Well, when Michael Jordan and the Bulls were there, it was a different time, man.
02:04:45.000
They're getting better, but the game's changed because it's all about offense.
02:04:47.000
So, really, no one plays defense, really, anymore.
02:04:55.000
They're saying the exact same thing 20 years ago.
02:04:58.000
I'm sorry, I love Michael Jordan and a prime Mirko Crow Cop.
02:05:04.000
Over time, we're going to look back at LeBron and say the same thing.
02:05:09.000
He might not ever win as many championships as Michael Jordan, but already right now you gotta put him in the same class as Michael Jordan.
02:05:21.000
At a guy like Mighty Mouse, there's never been a dude like Mighty Mouse.
02:05:24.000
People don't appreciate it because he weighs 125 pounds.
02:05:33.000
It's hard because he's fighting little dudes and they're all 125 pounds and people don't appreciate it just from the human being perspective.
02:05:42.000
Because first of all, they don't have to fight gravity as hard.
02:05:46.000
If there was a guy like you that could move like Mighty Mouse, they would have sports scientists come in and try to figure out what the fuck you're doing.
02:05:53.000
You know, if you were doing something unusual with your training methods, everyone would start doing it.
02:05:58.000
If you could move like Mighty Mouse and you were heavyweight, everybody would do what you were doing.
02:06:02.000
Kenny Florian told me that DC was going out one night, and this was in Vegas, and he sees Mighty Mouse talking to the bouncer, like, bro, let me in.
02:06:12.000
DC's like, my man, this is the world champion of the UFC. And the guy's like, really?
02:06:27.000
But if you look at it from the technique perspective, I always say that if you want to emulate somebody, he's the dude.
02:06:36.000
If you're a casual fan, you don't give a fuck about the little guys.
02:06:39.000
Well, he knocked out Benavidez, which, in my opinion, was unbelievable.
02:06:48.000
You need someone that's going to come around, like another Conor McGregor at 125. It's all about personalities.
02:06:58.000
He's never been bigger now that he's gonna fight Conor.
02:07:01.000
It's the best thing that ever happened to Aldo is Conor.
02:07:03.000
It's hard though to deal with the disrespect and all the stuff that he does to him.
02:07:09.000
I think you're gonna get a fucking nasty Aldo, man.
02:07:13.000
The question is he's gonna have the stamina to do that for more than one or two rounds.
02:07:20.000
But Aldo, well, he hurt Mendez at the end of, was it the end of the first when he tagged him?
02:07:28.000
But then into the third, fourth, and fifth rounds...
02:07:33.000
He wound up winning a decision, and he wound up beating Mendez, but that was probably the best anybody had looked against Aldo.
02:07:39.000
It was the first time anybody ever cracked Aldo.
02:07:45.000
Conor's my man, but Conor Mendez isn't a good fight for Conor.
02:07:49.000
Well, it's interesting because he's such a fucking powerful wrestler.
02:07:54.000
That's the one thing we haven't seen, is the powerful wrestler.
02:07:56.000
But then you look at what he did to Llamas, he puts dudes away with his hands.
02:08:06.000
Mendes is the biggest freak in the gym, and to see Aldo take his best and still win, everyone was like, Jesus, man.
02:08:22.000
And if he can get one off, and if he can really impose that, like, his psychological game is fucking strong.
02:08:38.000
You know, he doesn't ever say, I'm gonna beat you into a living death.
02:08:47.000
It's so powerful, it makes you deny who you are.
02:08:50.000
I think it's better for the sport if Conor wins.
02:08:56.000
I think if Conor loses, maybe it's good for the sport.
02:09:00.000
We need that fucking pink elephant in the room.
02:09:14.000
You've got Frankie Edgar who's about to fight Uriah Famer.
02:09:19.000
Either one, because they can wrestle their fucking ass off.
02:09:24.000
Because we really haven't seen him at 145 in a few years.
02:09:27.000
He might be better at 145. He might be better with not cutting such an extreme amount of weight.
02:09:33.000
I mean, there's a reason why he's taking this fight.
02:09:35.000
I don't think that's an excursion into 145. We didn't expect that.
02:09:45.000
But he doesn't want to fight his boy TJ. It's very interesting.
02:09:49.000
And Conor's big enough where he can do super fights against Pettis.
02:09:55.000
And then, you know, there's a lot of guys at 155 that would love to fight him.
02:09:59.000
There's a lot of guys at 155. The entire UFC wants to fight Conor.
02:10:01.000
What he brings to the table, all of them want to fight him.
02:10:05.000
I just think his best matchup, which this is fucking insane to say, but just style-wise, all those are the best matchup in the top five for him.
02:10:11.000
After that, man, it's trouble, because we're talking about grapplers.
02:10:15.000
Well, it's going to be interesting to see if he can hang with Aldo standing.
02:10:19.000
He did hurt him, no doubt about it, but we didn't get to see an exchange.
02:10:29.000
There's a really, really good sign, and I saw it firsthand.
02:10:55.000
So, I walk over, and I'm like, hey, dude, the first time I ever met him.
02:11:04.000
Okay, well, I can't do an Irish accent, but I can't do any accents, but he...
02:11:17.000
I was down the street at a hotel doing UFC shit.
02:11:23.000
Within three minutes, he shows up on the mat and just says, we're your best guys.
02:11:29.000
So I hooked him up with my best guys, and he just kept wanting to go with all my best guys.
02:11:40.000
There's a lot of hardcore grapplers, and that's what they do.
02:11:43.000
They go from gym to gym and try to get different looks.
02:11:46.000
Guys are looking for the best competition, just looking for wars.
02:11:49.000
Looking for different style matchups, because if you're training with the same guy all the time, that's not good.
02:11:55.000
There's 200 styles out there and you're training with three styles every day, you're training with two styles every day, four styles.
02:12:00.000
You need big, giant classes where there's so many different styles.
02:12:13.000
That showed me that he has the mentality to, he's not afraid to grapple and train and work with whoever on the ground to improve his grappling.
02:12:25.000
So from that point I thought, you know what, that's why he's good.
02:12:32.000
I think he's definitely an extraordinary human being.
02:12:35.000
I've never had a famous UFC fighter ever do that.
02:12:44.000
And a couple have trained, but when it came down to rolling, they didn't want to roll.
02:12:54.000
They train in some gym where they don't know the guys and, you know, there's gonna be cameras out and maybe he gets tapped out by a blue belt and then someone goes on the internet and goes, I just tapped out fucking da-da-da from the UFC. Guys in the UFC, they don't want that shit.
02:13:08.000
Because there's gyms I've been to where I'll go with tough guys like You know, some black belts, some brown belts, and then there are studs in the corner waiting for me to get tired.
02:13:18.000
It's like, oh, last round, let's go, and then you end up getting hurt.
02:13:21.000
Yeah, that's a weird thing that people do when they sit back.
02:13:24.000
I don't think they're worried about getting hurt, unless they have a fight coming.
02:13:26.000
Unless they have a fight coming, like, next week or two weeks, then you don't grapple hard because you don't want to get hurt.
02:13:35.000
I think it's ego, and they don't want to get hurt either.
02:13:36.000
But it is gross when you see dudes sitting out and waiting for you to get tired.
02:13:47.000
You're trying to catch someone who just ran a marathon and ask them to race?
02:13:54.000
I can see a guy saying, hey, I don't want to get my legs hurt.
02:13:59.000
People believe that if you go against a guy that's going to attack your legs, you're going to get hurt.
02:14:04.000
I don't believe it anymore, but I can understand that.
02:14:07.000
Guys, there's dudes that are leg lock assassins.
02:14:26.000
He can only really train with his brother, because if he goes with anyone else, he just doesn't know how to turn it off.
02:14:33.000
He rolled with Mayhem, and Mayhem tapped, and he released.
02:14:51.000
I think it's a combination of both, though, Eddie.
02:14:55.000
If there's a fight coming, 100%, you don't want to get hurt.
02:15:08.000
Conor's mentality, man, I'm telling you that dude is special, man.
02:15:11.000
Whether he wins this fight or not, that kid's gonna go a long ways in life.
02:15:22.000
He had a friend apparently had been injured so much in fighting that he was done.
02:15:26.000
And, you know, he was thinking, like, what am I doing?
02:15:30.000
And he actually didn't show up for his boxing classes.
02:15:35.000
He was teaching a boxing class and didn't show up for like six days or something like that.
02:15:41.000
His manager calls him up and his manager says, hey, do you want to fight in the UFC? And he's like, oh shit, here we go.
02:16:07.000
When Mitrione first told me that, I was like, because Mitrione's a weird, Mitrione's very smart, but he's a weird dude.
02:16:14.000
I just kind of, I get to the close and I bring it back.
02:16:28.000
Well, I think there's a lot of those Thai guys do that.
02:16:33.000
Like, John Wayne Parr was talking about that when he did the podcast, that they play all the time.
02:16:43.000
He has a whole system worked out as far as getting people comfortable with striking and where he takes you into it step by step.
02:17:00.000
I was really really impressed when I saw him working with TJ. Yeah, I was really impressed Hell yeah, I was like wow like Dwayne bang Ludwig.
02:17:11.000
You know the striking coaching the thing is with striking is the ego thing too, but we see it in the NFL the Guys, especially in college too, at these big colleges in the NFL, guys used to hit four times a week.
02:17:23.000
And then some coaches are like, well, this isn't smart.
02:17:27.000
So then schools like Michigan and Ohio State, they pulled it back.
02:17:34.000
Well, now we see it in the UFC where, listen, you don't get to the UFC without being tough.
02:17:40.000
There's no need to do these gym battles and take it out of you.
02:17:47.000
And I haven't listened to a word Jamie Varner says.
02:17:50.000
He's a great guy, but I haven't listened to it.
02:17:55.000
Yeah, there needs to be some sort of protocol established for training, like a real consensus protocol when it comes to contact.
02:18:08.000
What if there's a protocol for an eight-week camp you're going to spar in these days, you're going to do this, and it's just the way it should be, and it's down to a T. What if someone figured that out?
02:18:19.000
The way your nutritionist has figured out your diet.
02:18:28.000
I guarantee you Mark Lehman does shit like that.
02:18:30.000
Mark Lehman does that, and it works for Johnny Hendrix.
02:18:41.000
Hey, Brendan, all it would take is figuring out, okay, where are you going to put your wrestling during the week?
02:18:59.000
I'm with you, but to where it's the most efficient.
02:19:01.000
Because now I was sparring when I got ready for Trash Brown.
02:19:05.000
I was sparring fucking hard twice a week at Black House.
02:19:13.000
You said this also about your Ben Rothwell fight, sparring with Carwin.
02:19:16.000
I got knocked out before the Ben Rothwell fight by Carwin.
02:19:38.000
Hey, come check out local fucking guy, Brendan Schaub in Denver, getting ready to fight in O'Gare in Brazil like an asshole.
02:19:47.000
I haven't seen Shane, and he's helped me nothing this camp.
02:19:53.000
My coach goes, bro, you're supposed to be here.
02:20:02.000
Hour, fucking shade, smells like sunscreen, sunburnt, just all shitty.
02:20:10.000
I think he had cut off jean shorts and a fucking Van Halen shirt.
02:20:17.000
Literally tells his son, he's like, just wait over there.
02:20:27.000
Just fucking tubs at me like a fucking great white shark.
02:20:36.000
Remind you, all my family and friends are like, oh my god, Shane's gonna kill shop.
02:20:42.000
After he drops me, I come to, I go, what the fuck are you doing?
02:20:46.000
He goes, sorry bro, here, get up, get up, and then take me down.
02:20:50.000
I'm like, no, this isn't WWE. I'm like, stop, stop.
02:20:54.000
I told my coach, I'm like, I'm fucking rocked, man.
02:20:59.000
And he knew that you were about to have a fight.
02:21:06.000
No one gave me more head trauma than Shane Carlin.
02:21:37.000
That's what I would do, and I used to bank on it.
02:21:39.000
People were like, oh, you're the best, Shab, that was so cool.
02:21:46.000
It was like, yeah, Shab, go toe-to-toe with Garwin, man.
02:22:14.000
When I think back on it, now I'd be like, no, get the fuck out of here.
02:22:17.000
Like, when I was getting ready for camp at Black House, they do this thing where they do rounds, and you have to leave your foot in, they put three cones out, you have to leave your foot in the cone, and then spar, guys.
02:22:26.000
Just to work on, you know, staying in the pocket, moving.
02:22:40.000
And I did like six, and then I was like, dude, I'm taking some shots here.
02:22:51.000
See, different people have different systems as far as teaching people how to strike and moving in, like, certain positions every time, time and time again.
02:22:59.000
When you watch, like, the really high-level kickboxers from Holland, they all have, like, a very systematic approach.
02:23:04.000
Like, I'd love to get you to sit down with, or to train, rather, with Rob Kamen.
02:23:09.000
Rob Kamen is a really interesting guy when it comes to that stuff.
02:23:11.000
He's got a system, and he teaches a system a lot like a lot of people teach a jiu-jitsu system.
02:23:17.000
Not as complex as, like, your system, because your system is just...
02:23:20.000
Infinite number of moves and positions, but came and had like a deep, deep knowledge of that Dutch style kickboxing.
02:23:37.000
Rob Kamen, if you go back and watch his highlight reel, he was tremendous.
02:23:45.000
I think he's staying in Topanga, but he's here now.
02:23:51.000
But he's interesting, because he was responsible for a lot of Brandon Vera's early success.
02:24:00.000
Yeah, he was working with Brendan Vera early in his career.
02:24:03.000
And whether or not that's why Brendan was so successful, it's up to debate, you know?
02:24:08.000
But he was doing really well back then when he was with Kamen.
02:24:34.000
And then he got on the mic and was like, I'm going to be the first fighter ever.
02:24:44.000
Related or not related I don't know and then there was but there was also when you talk about him You got to talk about he had a contract dispute so he's out for a long time There's a contract dispute for the UFC came back a lot of pressure on him didn't perform that well when he came back Just that taking that downtime off for contract disputes to that can fuck with your head,
02:25:01.000
man I think he's still fighting in 1FC. Yeah, he is.
02:25:09.000
Yeah, well, especially 1FC. I don't know what sort of Mexican supplements they test for.
02:25:16.000
Do they have the full menu of Mexican supplements?
02:25:19.000
That's trouble fighting a Brandon Vera on anything.
02:25:23.000
Well, a lot of these guys, they say, like, you know, let them take it.
02:25:26.000
You know, have an organization where they do take it.
02:25:29.000
You know, if you've got international fighters that fight over there, just say, hey, this is the pride of Asia.
02:25:41.000
Well, Rich Franklin's the big dog over there, right?
02:25:54.000
I mean, anything outside the United States, I'm always sketchy about, man.
02:26:12.000
Why does it think football and Dana White admits...
02:26:27.000
Do they test for steroids at 1FC? Is it the number one?
02:27:06.000
What do you mean, which George Oliveira are you talking about?
02:27:11.000
First of all, well, it says drug tests were clean, stained that George Oliveira tested positive 4 steroids.
02:27:23.000
Like I said, man, anything outside the United States makes me skeptical hippo.
02:27:40.000
That's George Oliveira that tested positive in the Ryan LaFlair fight.
02:27:44.000
That's the guy who fought Ryan LaFlair in the UFC recently.
02:27:56.000
He fought in the Ryan LeFlair undercard, excuse me.
02:28:15.000
That's my face when you ask if they do steroids.
02:28:25.000
So obviously there's more than one George Oliveira.
02:28:35.000
Legend's MMA, back in the day, was a fun place, man.
02:28:40.000
I came to LA with a buddy, and at the time I wasn't fighting.
02:28:43.000
I went to Legends just because Randy Couture owned it.
02:28:57.000
That was the one that we wanted to watch, and the other one that we wanted to watch was the KO, the Gustafson-Anthony Johnson fight.
02:29:09.000
If we have time, I would love your opinion on Kathy Long's highlight reel.
02:29:17.000
She was one of those American kickboxers from back in the day, right?
02:29:40.000
That's amazing, 51. Invicta should look into her.
02:29:52.000
She actually fought MMA like two, three years ago.
02:30:12.000
Yeah, she's 51 and she wants to fight, like, now.
02:30:17.000
It's like, I guess promoters are worried about her age.
02:30:24.000
But when you look at her highlight reel, dude, you're like, oh shit, she could probably pull it off.
02:30:28.000
I think people today are more worried about people getting hurt that are older than ever before, you know?
02:30:37.000
40. 40 and a hard 40. A 40, you know, of a guy who has been fighting top-level competition for a long time.
02:31:00.000
Maybe it doesn't get on Fight Pass because of that.
02:31:05.000
Yeah, it doesn't appear to be in the library unless I'm retarded, which is punishable.
02:31:18.000
I'm not bad at that B-shop graphic down there with LeVar Johnson.
02:31:26.000
Let's see if we can find the Al Iaquinta fight here.
02:31:31.000
I think if it's not, I think I have it on DirecTV.
02:32:25.000
We're going to watch this fight to see how clearly we can see that.
02:32:41.000
This is going to be too choppy to be able to distinguish whether or not it was a headbutt.
02:32:44.000
I'm sure you can get a slow-mo highlight of it.
02:32:46.000
But how come it looks okay when you're on a short screen like that?
02:33:00.000
So this is post-KO. We're going to have to take it to the moment he gets hurt.
02:33:09.000
Yeah, you've got to take it way back before that, Jamie.
02:33:21.000
Because he heard him and then he stalked him down for a while.
02:33:33.000
So this is the start up after the poke to the eye.
02:33:44.000
I think Anthony is going to win this fight anyways, whether that headbutt happened or not, but in this certain case, the headbutt's what fucking destroyed Alexander.
02:33:57.000
Jon will take him down an inside leg trip, wear him out, elbows from the guard.
02:34:14.000
But every fight, John, we're like, here's the guy.
02:34:24.000
Like, this is extreme pace he's putting on Gustafson.
02:34:27.000
It's like he's gambling that he's going to finish Gustafson.
02:34:30.000
I mean, he's going full at them, and he's got them hurt real bad, and it worked here.
02:34:34.000
Yeah, if a guy can recover, get to guard or something?
02:34:41.000
If a guy can keep from getting tagged by him and can take him into the third, fourth, and fifth rounds, what does that look like?
02:34:47.000
Well, against Phil Davis, he looked pretty fucking scary.
02:34:51.000
He looked scary in the second, and he looked scary in the third.
02:34:54.000
But that was Phil Davis, who doesn't present as many striking dangers as Jon Jones does.
02:35:00.000
You gotta remember, Jon Jones dismantled Vitor.
02:35:10.000
Yeah, he got caught on that arm bar, but he ended up submitting Vitor.
02:35:16.000
Think about Vitor roided the fuck to the gills.
02:35:19.000
Yeah, I mean, he weighed 205, but he's a different 205 than this fucking guy.
02:35:34.000
From that angle, it didn't look like it was a headbutt.
02:36:09.000
Because that right hand, not this one, this one looks like it landed.
02:36:17.000
I'm telling you, if you can get the other view on the other side.
02:36:21.000
His head would cock back if he got head-butted.
02:36:26.000
Dude, I think the head goes to the left and the right hand lands.
02:36:46.000
Can't you type in headbutt on YouTube or something for me?
02:36:55.000
You think that right hand landed that hard to do that?
02:37:08.000
Let's see it one more time from that other angle.
02:37:10.000
I'm telling you, if we can just pull some bullshit, you can get another angle on YouTube.
02:37:16.000
You're saying that he didn't throw his right hand hard is crazy.
02:37:33.000
I'm telling you, there's a thing on YouTube on the other side.
02:37:38.000
The idea that he's not throwing that hard is so crazy.
02:37:44.000
No, it hits his face and then it hits the clavicle.
02:37:56.000
Look, it hits his fucking face, it hits his cheek, and then it goes into his collarbone.
02:38:16.000
When you get up in the morning, do you ever see elves?
02:38:51.000
That punch hits his face and then glances off and then hits him on the chin.
02:39:19.000
He definitely headbutted him afterwards, but the right hand hit him first.
02:39:53.000
Dude, you see from the overhead that punch lands on his cheek.
02:40:10.000
I think that thing would have won that fight either way.
02:40:24.000
But I don't think it matters if the punch lands first.
02:40:29.000
But he got tagged by that right hand on the face first.
02:40:42.000
If the guy lands a punch, and then the headbutt lands, and the headbutt, clearly, the guy lands a punch, he gets hurt, but the headbutt stiffens him up.
02:40:57.000
It would have to be like how much time has passed between them because like say if you tagged a guy with a right hand and he was wobbly as fuck and he was backing up and a few seconds go by and then he throws a right hand and misses and you collide heads and he goes unconscious.
02:41:14.000
I think that one's like, you know what I'm saying?
02:41:17.000
You can't ask for a rematch in a fight like that.
02:41:20.000
There would have to be some sort of a huge event.
02:41:22.000
See, I wanted to see Gus Finn and DC fight next.
02:41:29.000
I wish they would have done that instead of separating them.
02:41:31.000
Well, Gustafsson versus Bader is an interesting fight too, man.
02:41:34.000
What Bader did to Ovin St. Prue I thought was really interesting, but Ovin St. Prue is not nearly the wrestler that DC is.
02:41:40.000
DC is wrestling, especially when you're dealing with a guy who's his size.
02:41:43.000
Not a long, tall guy like Jon Jones, who's so awkward and strong, but a guy more his size, a thick, stocky guy like Bader.
02:41:51.000
Bader won't take DC. Isn't St. Pru fighting pretty soon?
02:42:09.000
Man, I hate to say super athletic, but God damn.
02:42:33.000
There's a lot of dudes who don't even know that position.
02:42:36.000
Pat Cummings, I'm telling you, is a fucking monster.
02:42:41.000
Ovens ain't proved that fucking left hook that knocked Shogun out.
02:43:05.000
He trains with Verdum all the time and me all the time.
02:43:15.000
Has cutting weight down to a T. Yeah, and has insane endurance and work ethic.
02:44:03.000
How about, oh, Vince wins anyways, and I still pay for it.
02:44:29.000
You've got to decide right now before you touch hands.
02:45:22.000
Don't bring me a tenth plan to check or something.
02:45:37.000
I charge $16 in an hour, but I'll give you a break.
02:45:56.000
Pat Cummins is going to break him in the second round.
02:46:07.000
I would bet my entire bank account he doesn't get submitted.
02:46:10.000
Okay, what kind of odds on the Twister would you give?
02:46:16.000
If he gets him in the Twister, you bet 100. And if he gets him in the Twister, he has to give you 10,000.
02:46:41.000
Okay, to win, I don't trust him at all if he said that.
02:46:49.000
You gotta look at the fact that he knocked out Shogun with one fucking punch like that and say, this kid is a stud.
02:46:53.000
And he's getting better, and he's fast, and his striking is fucking for sure dangerous and powerful.
02:46:58.000
But, the odds of him winning by Twister, when only one person ever won by Twister ever in the history of the fucking UFC, and that's the Korean zombie, one goddamn Twister of all time, the odds that he wins by Twister, I say 100 to 10,000.
02:47:22.000
So what you're doing is stealing $100 from Eddie Bravo.
02:47:32.000
If he gets them in a Twister, you owe me $2,000.
02:47:55.000
I'll fly to fucking Kentucky and we'll be doing twisters all week.
02:48:13.000
Well, Hicks and Gracie is having a seminar on the 25th, so if it's the 25th...
02:48:29.000
The Demetrius Mighty Mouse Johnson Hirogoshi card.
02:48:34.000
Rampage losing, or getting pulled out of the card, rather, is a bad one.
02:48:44.000
I thought that, I mean, I think that if there is some sort of a break in the contract enough to where he can sign with the UFC, I felt like they would have already worked it out.
02:48:53.000
You'd think his lawyers, or you'd think the UFC lawyers, who are the best in the business, would be like, dude, don't promote him yet.
02:48:59.000
Let's figure this logistics out and then do it.
02:49:05.000
Maybe they thought that they would be able to get it in under the wire before...
02:49:12.000
You've already established that Rampage doesn't want to be in Bellator.
02:49:18.000
But not really, because now the court's saying, dude, you've still got to fight for Bellator.
02:49:24.000
No, the court granted an injunction, I believe.
02:49:26.000
I believe they kept him from fighting for the UFC, but they didn't say that he has to fight for Bellator.
02:49:31.000
They recognized an argument, and it has to be worked out now.
02:49:36.000
So they just said you can't fight for the UFC at this point.
02:49:43.000
I'm probably using the wrong terminology, but I'm pretty sure that's exactly how it works.
02:49:48.000
So Rampage can't fight for the UFC, so the car takes a big hit.
02:49:51.000
And wasn't there another fight on the card, too, that got pulled?
02:49:57.000
Wasn't Roy supposed to be on that, but they took him off, too?
02:50:08.000
That's where it was supposed to be, and they took him off there and put him on that Vegas card.
02:50:13.000
When you have those title fights in Vegas, it's worth a shitload of cheddar.
02:50:30.000
And the money that it generates for the casino is insane in comparison to the money that it generates for some random arena somewhere.
02:50:36.000
If you put it on in some random arena in Montreal, I mean, it's great for the economy of Montreal, but the amount of money that gets spent in Vegas is off the goddamn charts.
02:50:57.000
I think the hotels are taking a huge hit, though.
02:50:59.000
Those crazy-ass hotels, they're not doing well.
02:51:01.000
We were in a car once, and we asked the driver, this cab driver, like, how much different is Vegas right now?
02:51:11.000
They said 50% down in calls, 50% down in business.
02:51:15.000
I know that city center, the engineer fucked up building it.
02:51:20.000
It's not safe, structurally, and they have to rip it down.
02:51:29.000
I'm pretty sure I read that on a form from a kid.
02:51:37.000
Something structurally is fucked up and they have to tear it down.
02:51:41.000
Let's get young Jamie to pull up some articles on this bullshit.
02:51:51.000
Someone really powerful in Vegas told me, back when I was working in the UFC, he said it used to be that the casinos were packed, and then now it's like someone took a giant vacuum and just vacuumed all the people out of the casinos.
02:52:11.000
When you go off the grid, when you get out of the strip and you go to them funky casinos that are out in the middle of nowhere.
02:52:19.000
There's a lot of casinos in Vegas that you don't ever think about.
02:52:22.000
There's a lot of like weird fucking casinos all over the spot.
02:52:31.000
They just want a place where they could gamble.
02:52:33.000
Well, you just see a different tone of human being.
02:53:04.000
That's different, though, because that's not Vegas.
02:53:12.000
If you're a card gambler, you can gamble right here.
02:53:14.000
If you're a poker guy, there's plenty of gambling in L.A. Like Ari Shafir, before he made it as a comic, was making more money gambling on poker than he was on anything.
02:53:27.000
He was going to fucking- He must be really good.
02:53:31.000
He would go to these poker tournaments and win.
02:53:45.000
Because you sit at home in your fucking underwear and just go online.
02:53:52.000
I think Nevada, you can gamble online, but you can gamble, you can play poker online against people from Nevada.
02:53:58.000
Because, like, all those pro poker players, a lot of them moved out of country.
02:54:07.000
They moved to Monaco, they moved to all these countries where it's legal.
02:54:10.000
Some of them moved to China, and they play in that Chinese place.
02:54:21.000
They say it's Vegas times 10. That's what I've heard.
