00:00:11.000
We have two bottles already, but you'll probably tell me they suck, which you brought us.
00:00:24.000
You could really shake it in there like it's less strong than sugar.
00:01:09.000
I think Benil is really good, but you're underestimating Johnson's stand-up.
00:01:13.000
I don't think you could say one guy's better than in that situation.
00:01:18.000
I'd kind of lean towards Johnson in the stand-up a little bit.
00:01:44.000
I cannot put enough Steve in this goddamn coffee.
00:02:07.000
Ramsey, look, Ramsey's had some tough losses, but he's a bad motherfucker.
00:02:14.000
That guy was a beast that he was wrestling with.
00:02:30.000
But, you know, that Holbrook kid's a tough kid, too.
00:02:40.000
He's also got a really big frame for 55. If you look at him up close, tall, long.
00:02:54.000
I thought that Holbrook kid's a bad motherfucker.
00:02:57.000
And he took some good shots, too, and came back.
00:03:00.000
Eddie, are we going to bet on any of the fights tonight, my man?
00:03:12.000
In the middle of negotiating some dollar-dollar bills here.
00:03:18.000
For anybody who's never heard one of these podcasts before, you're like, what the fuck kind of podcast is this?
00:03:24.000
If you just started downloading the podcast, what's happening right now is the UFC is on TV, on Fox Sports 1. We watch the card.
00:03:34.000
We make a lot of ludicrous statements that get blown up in the MMA media.
00:03:51.000
And so we'll let you know when the fight starts.
00:03:58.000
Because if you're trying to watch it live, we're like five or maybe more seconds behind you.
00:04:17.000
I was switching around, but I forgot you were up there.
00:04:42.000
So when the fight starts, we'll let you guys know at the moment it starts.
00:04:46.000
And if you can, just pause your DVR and sync it up with that.
00:04:52.000
The only way to do this really is if you watch it afterwards and you watch it on the DVR and you got the laptop there and you sync it up.
00:05:04.000
So we're not going to notice some shit and go, oh shit!
00:05:21.000
It seems to me the fad these days because I found Starburst the same way.
00:05:28.000
How do they keep them from sticking to each other?
00:05:31.000
How do they keep them from sticking to each other?
00:05:42.000
I feel like the wrapper kind of seals the flavor.
00:05:52.000
I got us a beautiful Chianti, a 2010 Chianti, and Castello di Amma San Lorenzo.
00:06:00.000
Don't know what that means, but it's an earthy piece of work here.
00:06:05.000
Now, the difference is you're going to get some earth in your wine.
00:06:25.000
Ray Borg's a bad motherfucker, though, and really good on the ground.
00:06:41.000
No one's like, God, this 45-er's out of shape, everybody.
00:06:46.000
I've seen a few 55-ers that were, like, a little on that body fat side.
00:06:50.000
Are featherweights too big for you, personally?
00:07:02.000
I'm very happy with Bravo's hair and shoulders.
00:07:14.000
He doesn't look 45. He had a gray beard an hour ago, so...
00:07:23.000
I would say 28. I'd give you 32, 33. Dude, they're trying to fuck you.
00:07:35.000
I know that you think that you can just be friends with guys.
00:07:37.000
Have you seen the moon at 10 and 11 on the beach?
00:08:16.000
Bro, in every fight, I know you let me know what you think, but their trunks drive me fucking nuts.
00:08:28.000
They had a whole warehouse of shit that they had to get rid of, and that's the first stuff that we're going to...
00:08:33.000
How cool is it for the UFC? Reebok steps in and they give them all this cash, and it doesn't cost them anything.
00:08:49.000
I think he's the president or he has something to do.
00:08:51.000
He's like the head of something with Reebok that deals with the UFC. He said, your ass is next in line to be wearing Reebok.
00:08:58.000
It means that he basically said they rushed to get things done because they said, you know, how come some fighters' names are misspelled?
00:09:08.000
We'll for sure spell people's names right and have everyone on there.
00:09:12.000
And then he goes, you know, we didn't think far enough ahead.
00:09:15.000
So we didn't think about the Ring Card Girls or Joe Rogan.
00:09:21.000
Well, you're going to be wearing pumps, my man.
00:09:31.000
Unless I had some sort of a deal with Reebok, I'm not going to wear their stuff for free.
00:09:39.000
I'm not in the same situation where you get paid for it.
00:09:40.000
And I would have to decide whether or not I would want to do that.
00:09:49.000
But if they offer you a contract and they're like, hey, we need you to wear these UFC Reebok pumps for every show.
00:09:59.000
If Converse wants to come with some cash, I got you.
00:10:05.000
There's been amazing jiu-jitsu going on, man, and we're talking about Reebok.
00:10:12.000
And I would wear Reebok if they were cool sneakers.
00:10:17.000
Both of these guys are really good on the ground.
00:10:23.000
We're seeing a high-level jiu-jitsu match right here, seriously.
00:10:29.000
Yeah, a lot of jiu-jitsu and thrown in with punches and shit, too.
00:10:32.000
And I don't know any- I don't know either of these guys.
00:10:34.000
Did you see the Jake Shields series- Speaking of which, because he's going for this Kimura.
00:10:42.000
Poking his eye eight times and stuff like that?
00:10:43.000
Is Paul Ahari the most Danish guy in the world?
00:10:47.000
He's gonna poke you in the eye and rip your fucking arm off.
00:10:49.000
Well, he's also taking stuff to some crazy different primal level.
00:10:53.000
You know, like the eye poking and the holding, the submission, even after all he's been through.
00:10:58.000
He's been kicked out of the UFC for it, and he still holds submissions.
00:11:03.000
That's why he got banned, because in the back they go, listen, if you get a submission, do not hang on to it.
00:11:14.000
Jake Shields was just owning him, just controlling him on the ground.
00:11:32.000
So the end of the fight is not in dispute, but how did he get there?
00:11:39.000
And Tariq wanted to call the fight, and he goes, don't call it.
00:11:47.000
Jake Shields is one of the best passers in MMA, period.
00:11:52.000
He's one of the best passers in the whole game, if not the best, if not the best.
00:11:58.000
And he passed Husamar Paharis' guard a few times, and that itself was impressive, because Paharis' jiu-jitsu all the way around is top-notch.
00:12:13.000
And the one thing that I was really impressed with is his side control escapes.
00:12:21.000
You're talking about Paul Harris or Paul Harris?
00:12:39.000
Did the Jick Shield shoulder, did it get tore off?
00:12:55.000
Look, Dana's been saying it for years that he's the worst referee in the business.
00:12:58.000
I don't know if he's the worst, but he's made some fucking giant errors.
00:13:01.000
He made a big error in the Frank Mir-Brock Lesnar fight.
00:13:04.000
That's one of the big ones, because Brock Lesnar was completely locked up in a submission, and he took too fucking long.
00:13:10.000
There was tap, tap, tap, and then he's moving in.
00:13:13.000
He doesn't train, and if he doesn't train, he's never been tapped.
00:13:15.000
If he doesn't tap, especially to a leg lock like that, he doesn't know how close you are to getting your shit destroyed.
00:13:20.000
Well, that's what big John McCarthy was saying.
00:13:22.000
He trains every day in jiu-jitsu, and he goes, I train to keep up with the kids.
00:13:26.000
Yeah, he goes, I train to keep up so I know what's going on.
00:13:28.000
A lot of these guys don't train, so they don't know what the fuck's going on.
00:13:36.000
You let him know without any question that the thing touching his back is not the fight.
00:13:47.000
He's in the middle of yanking, he's in the middle of winning, and he feels something touching his back.
00:13:55.000
He knew that Jake Shields was tapping, for sure.
00:13:58.000
But, Murillo Bustamante, who was his coach, almost lost to Matt Lindland, tapped him and then had a tap again.
00:14:04.000
I shouldn't say almost lost because he dominated the fight.
00:14:06.000
But he got fucked because he tapped Matt Lindland.
00:14:13.000
And then he caught him in a guillotine and finished.
00:14:24.000
I guarantee you, if John McCarthy was refereeing that match, it would have been different.
00:14:31.000
He also probably would have taken a point away from that blatant eye catch.
00:14:38.000
He's gouging his eyes, and Shields kept going, and his eyes were bleeding.
00:14:48.000
He's going to smile at you and poke him in the eye.
00:14:55.000
But if you watch that Kimura, that was in transition.
00:15:00.000
It was a huge transition from the bottom to the top.
00:15:07.000
There's just no way he could have got there in time.
00:15:09.000
I think the pat on the back was like, this is the quickest I can get here.
00:15:12.000
I'm going to bypass trying to stop him and go around.
00:15:28.000
Isn't it amazing that that's all you have to do is get out of that fucking mount, get those legs separated.
00:15:34.000
That mounted one, too, when they're doing like a guard from the top, when they cross their legs like that?
00:15:43.000
No, when Benavidez, right there with the mounted guillotine, when Benavidez tapped Tim, who the fuck was it?
00:15:58.000
And he's slapping with his feet like a dolphin.
00:16:05.000
So let me tell you about being in Brazil, watching Ronda Rousey walk out into the arena with 16,000 people.
00:16:14.000
Originally, they were chanting over her fucking song.
00:16:17.000
Like, she's going out there with her song, and they're going, Then you're gonna die.
00:16:22.000
Yeah, that's that you're gonna die song that they always sing.
00:16:25.000
And then people are like, Touching her as she's walking.
00:16:28.000
They have to reach really far, so they're trying to touch her.
00:16:35.000
She's not close enough for them to just know exactly how to reach her.
00:16:39.000
So they're trying to reach like a white guy jumping up trying to touch a basketball rim.
00:16:49.000
But dude, she walks forward with this fucking stare of death.
00:16:53.000
Like she didn't give a fuck about anybody else.
00:16:59.000
And while it was happening, I was like, whoa, we're seeing some crazy history shit here.
00:17:03.000
Like, there's something about her right now where she's kind of transcended this sport in some crazy way.
00:17:12.000
I almost cried when I was interviewing her because I felt like, you know, I always say that if you could tell your kids, like, I was there when Muhammad Ali beat Sonny Liston.
00:17:22.000
I was there when Mike Tyson beat Trevor Burbick and won the title, the youngest heavyweight ever.
00:17:29.000
Like, Dom Herrera always talks about Michael Spinks.
00:17:37.000
You know the only difference is when you say those names, and I'm not hating on Ronda, but when you say like Evander Holyfield or Tyson, I was there for that.
00:17:43.000
Muhammad Ali, Sonny Liston, I was there for that.
00:17:48.000
Listen, Betch Cohera is the best chick in Brazil at 135. No, she's not.
00:18:06.000
And she just recently got signed by the UFC. This is Ronda's first time in Brazil.
00:18:12.000
It's that when Ronda came to Brazil, that's what he's talking about.
00:18:23.000
What I'm saying is it is, without a doubt, an historic event.
00:18:26.000
She got 1.5 million Instagram followers in a fucking day.
00:18:33.000
Dude, this pay-per-view is going to be bigger than UFC 189. It's going to be bigger than the Conor McGregor fight.
00:18:39.000
There's all these memes all over the internet saying, don't be a do-nothing bitch.
00:18:45.000
She said, I'm not some do-nothing bitch that sits around waiting for some millionaire to fuck her.
00:18:54.000
She's the walking example of feminism or meritocracy.
00:19:01.000
She's not asking to be judged on a curve at all.
00:19:06.000
She KOs her, and then she goes, don't cry, and then walks away from her and struts around the ring.
00:19:20.000
She's strutting around the octagon, and the audience has to give it up.
00:19:27.000
And now you're going to give us Misha take three?
00:19:29.000
But in Brazil, Captain Negative over here, in Brazil...
00:19:33.000
Even in Brazil, they're cheering for her at the weigh-ins.
00:19:36.000
They were booing Betch Coheia in Brazil at the weigh-ins.
00:19:42.000
It's not like Conor McGregor flying Irish people over.
00:19:46.000
This is actual Brazilians booing one of their own country women, which is unheard of.
00:19:51.000
It's an insanely proud and nationalistic country.
00:19:56.000
There's a human example here of triumph over all odds, in a way.
00:20:00.000
Just to be a woman, and in such a short period of time, to be the biggest draw.
00:20:05.000
Where the hell was I? I was doing stand-up in Dallas, and I was in this bar.
00:20:10.000
It was just And the minute she walked out, everybody went crazy.
00:20:15.000
If you told me that a woman could garner that kind of attention as a fighter, I would have told you two years, three years ago, whatever.
00:20:20.000
Well, she's just not like anybody we've ever seen before.
00:20:22.000
When you say a woman fighter, you're judging on the women fighter that you've seen up until her.
00:20:26.000
Even the girls that were really good as boxers.
00:20:29.000
You know, Christy Martin was kind of fun to watch, and Layla Ali was fun to watch.
00:20:41.000
These girls are fucking terrified when they get in there with her.
00:20:44.000
Did you think that she would dispatch Correa that easily?
00:20:49.000
I thought she would ragdoll her and maybe beat her face in with elbows.
00:20:53.000
I think if they fight 100 times, that fight goes like that 100 times.
00:20:58.000
She does whatever the fuck she wants to that girl.
00:21:36.000
Well, they better put him back in that position.
00:21:40.000
Think about what you're saying about Ronda right now and how this is such a historical time and what Callan's saying.
00:21:47.000
And then even the fact that Brendan is saying, well, she's not really getting any competition.
00:21:55.000
Put all that together and then you look at Cyborg.
00:22:03.000
Cyborg's in the CFL. Cyborg is nowhere near Ronda's level?
00:22:14.000
If we're going to make fun of Ronda's competition...
00:22:22.000
That's how much better she is than those girls.
00:22:34.000
But Cyborgs, she's just not in the same realm as Ronda.
00:22:38.000
Well, that's just because she doesn't get any fights.
00:22:57.000
She fought one of the best female kickboxers on the fucking planet.
00:23:07.000
She went the distance with her, which is not her sport, because she's an MMA fighter.
00:23:11.000
There is a big difference, especially with the big gloves on.
00:23:18.000
But that chick, she got in there with one of the best in the fucking world.
00:23:22.000
She's trying to fight people, but there's all the allegations of steroids.
00:23:38.000
As a fight analyst or a fight fan, she's fun to watch, man.
00:23:44.000
Isn't her striking and her jiu-jitsu world-class?
00:24:02.000
But now get her to 135. Let's see her hit like that.
00:24:05.000
Well, that's the thing that Robin Black had a really good point.
00:24:07.000
Robin Black, who's one of the best fight analysts out there, and good dude.
00:24:12.000
Very, very knowledgeable and a huge fan of the sport.
00:24:37.000
You can fight even better if you don't ever cut weight.
00:24:46.000
You have to cut weight because they're trying to figure out some way where you can both agree uneven terms.
00:24:56.000
If Dana called me up right now and was like, hey, Brennan, listen.
00:24:58.000
We need you to get to 185 and you can fight the champ at 185. I'm going to try my fucking best to make that fight.
00:25:13.000
Okay, but what you're talking about, Cyborg, they asked how much she was walking around, and she goes, about 175. She didn't interview.
00:25:21.000
That is a lot of weight, and it's very unusual.
00:25:24.000
One of the things about steroids, and this is not saying that she's on it, I'm not making any allegations, but one of the things about the people that compete on them is that they find it very addictive.
00:25:35.000
And it's not just a matter of the fact that it allows you to heal.
00:25:38.000
It's not just a matter of fact that it gives you, you know, this ability to train harder.
00:25:43.000
But it also, there's a confidence thing where you know you're on this shit.
00:25:49.000
Like, when I was on it and I was fighting, I felt invincible.
00:25:53.000
You put testosterone in a female's body, it's going to change some things.
00:26:03.000
And again, I'm not saying she's on testosterone.
00:26:07.000
If you look at the two factors, the fact that she's failed the test before and the way that she looks.
00:26:14.000
Especially the way she used to look when she was in Strikeforce and she fought Gina.
00:26:17.000
All that nonsense aside, I think it's worth, when we know what we know about the sport, it's worth considering the possibility.
00:26:29.000
And this idea that Ronda has to move up, like, actually she doesn't.
00:26:35.000
Because to the common folk, to the common fan, no one knows who Cyborg is.
00:26:40.000
This is not a matter of her not being able to do it.
00:26:42.000
It's a matter of her not taking any of the steps to attempt to do it.
00:26:46.000
Like, if you really want to do it, what you do is you make that wait.
00:26:50.000
You hire Mike Dolce, you make that wait, and you put up a fucking video of you making that wait.
00:27:06.000
I said that shit back at JRE1-whatever when Ronda was on Joe Rogan's show.
00:27:13.000
What freaked me out is when Cyborg fought Gina Carano and Strikeforce.
00:27:21.000
You're used to the crowd and what it sounds like.
00:27:26.000
In all the hundreds of shows I've been to, that sounded like a Beatles concert.
00:27:30.000
When Gina Carano came out, it sounded like it was a Britney Spears concert.
00:27:36.000
Multiply that times the hundreds, and that's Ronda in Brazil.
00:27:38.000
They were screaming like Justin Bieber was on stage.
00:28:00.000
The public doesn't know who Cyborg is, so they don't give a fuck.
00:28:03.000
Listen, if Cyborg fought, if signed right now in the UFC, how long would it take for them to blow that the fuck up and everybody knows who Cyborg is?
00:28:18.000
Let's say we know for sure, because we don't know anything for sure, right?
00:28:22.000
But let's say we know for sure that Rhonda is not juicing.
00:28:29.000
And let's say we also know for sure that Cyborg might be on something.
00:28:34.000
And she might be on something to make $145,000.
00:28:37.000
Are you okay with it if they both fight at 145 and one person is naturally bigger and might be on something?
00:28:42.000
I don't care where they fight 145, 135. This is my question.
00:28:47.000
Do you have a different opinion about this with women than you do with men?
00:28:55.000
Chris Weidman's dominant champ, just like Ronda.
00:28:58.000
If he was going to fight Vitor, and we knew that Vitor might be on TRT, I still wouldn't have a problem with it.
00:29:03.000
And I don't think Weidman would have a problem with it either.
00:29:05.000
I think Weidman would be like, I'm going to still fuck this team.
00:29:06.000
The reason I wouldn't have a problem is because I think Weidman's already bigger.
00:29:11.000
Weidman's already got a bigger frame and all that.
00:29:18.000
He knocked Bisping's eye into fucking the next level.
00:29:38.000
If she's capable of doing something that's not natural, to stay at 145 or to get up higher than 145 in the 170s, then how do you feel about the fight then?
00:29:51.000
Because then it's because of a different fight.
00:29:55.000
Let's say they do do that fight and Cyborg knocks Ronda out.
00:30:09.000
What if she loses and then Cyborg tests positive?
00:30:15.000
We don't have anyone crossing over into pop culture.
00:30:22.000
You don't mind if someone is on the shit and they knock somebody out like that?
00:30:26.000
And then you find out that the reason why she got knocked out like that is because the other person was enhanced?
00:30:32.000
This is the thing, this is what my, the sexist in me, the sexist in me, I have more of an issue with it for some reason with women.
00:30:41.000
What I'm saying, I'm not even comfortable with my opinions on it.
00:30:44.000
Like, I'm like, why do I have a different opinion if it's women and the woman was on something?
00:30:51.000
When me and Rhonda were hanging out, I would tell her, unless Cyborg agrees to this strict testing, you are not fighting her.
00:31:04.000
When I was with her, I still care about her, but the thing is, There's no way you're taking this fight against fucking the Brazilian Drago if she's on shit.
00:31:21.000
What you guys said before, just lose the goddamn motherfucking weight already.
00:31:37.000
In a way, getting down to 35 would cancel out, in some ways, the idea of testosterone in terms of, I think, it'd be hard to do it.
00:31:45.000
It'd be hard to do it when you've lost literally 45 pounds.
00:31:49.000
She would also have to guarantee that she actually made the weight.
00:31:52.000
Because another sneaky fucked up thing that people do is they just don't make the weight.
00:31:59.000
They contracted, the first fight was supposed to be at 168, then they moved to 170, and he didn't even make 170. That guy drives me fucking nuts.
00:32:06.000
170.8, came in, he was out of shape, didn't fight well, fought through just a few punches per round, but he was way bigger than that.
00:32:14.000
Way bigger, and the guy would land 30 shots and he'd land two, and wobble the guy.
00:32:23.000
It was literally Like a guy eating punches, getting close, and swinging with clubbing blows.
00:32:31.000
Julio Chavez Jr. was a big dude and was a tiny guy.
00:32:35.000
If they didn't agree to 135, you're going to have some shit on your hands, man.
00:32:39.000
It's going to happen at 135. It's going to happen.
00:32:52.000
The whole fucking world in Africa and Latin America.
00:32:58.000
The regular person has no fucking idea who Cyborg is.
00:33:04.000
The smart move is Misha Tate versus Cyborg at 140. I'm not disagreeing with that.
00:33:18.000
It would be the toughest fight that Misha Tate has ever had.
00:33:21.000
Or the toughest fight, rather, that Cyborg has ever had.
00:33:30.000
She's the only girl that's taking Ronda Rousey into the third round.
00:33:34.000
Cyborg hits, all due respect to Misha Tate, I believe Cyborg hits a whole lot harder than Misha Tate does at 45. I think you're right, but I'll tell you right now, with all due respect, I would favor Misha Tate over Gina Carano.
00:33:48.000
And Cyborg and Gina Carano was a very competitive fight.
00:33:51.000
That's the thing that people don't remember about That was forever a gun.
00:33:56.000
But Gina Carano, she was still fucking girls up back then.
00:34:02.000
They scrambled on the ground, and it was some control situations.
00:34:05.000
I think even at 140, I think Misha Tate's going to give Cyborg some fritz.
00:34:11.000
And then if they do it at 135, and she fights for it at 135, it doesn't get past the two-minute mark.
00:34:17.000
She's not going to be able to take Cyborg down.
00:34:25.000
I love Misha, but Cyborg would be too much for her.
00:34:44.000
That's what I'm talking about because what happens with Ronda Sideboard...
00:34:56.000
If I want to see a fight, that's the fight I want to see.
00:35:06.000
She's like an old-school fighter who's really good.
00:35:12.000
If you're Misha, and you came in a different lifetime, and there was no Ronda, Misha's killing shit, right?
00:35:20.000
She's as good as she is because Ronda is so goddamn good that the aspiration, the inspiration, the top of the mountain is so high that everybody else, their vibration comes up.
00:35:35.000
She's got this crazy aura of championship, Ronda.
00:35:39.000
Dude, I really did almost cry when I was interviewing her.
00:35:44.000
And plus, knowing her story, knowing her story with her dad and the whole thing about this girl...
00:35:50.000
I mean, whether or not that's actually what she was trying to say, what she was saying, she hopes Rhonda doesn't kill herself, but Rhonda's dad did kill himself, so that was like, it's part of her story, and she had all this extra motivation, seeing her there, and having daughters, too, and just, there's so much going on.
00:36:11.000
I think what's really important, too, about the steroid debate, and just as we're talking about, whether or not, you know, whenever we get excited about a fight, we always assume, or we like to assume, that in many ways there's an equal playing field.
00:36:26.000
They're kind of starting, even though they may be genetically different and stuff.
00:36:33.000
Doing underhanded things that clearly give you an advantage before you even get into the ring, right?
00:36:38.000
And I think that's the heart of real competition.
00:36:45.000
You've been around the sport way too long to think like that, Brian.
00:36:48.000
You've been around way too many professional athletes to think that way.
00:36:50.000
I'm just saying that's what we as spectators want that.
00:36:56.000
So when we think about Chris Weidman and Luke Rockhold, all of us are really excited about that fight because we don't know what's going to happen.
00:37:03.000
And we wouldn't want to think Luke was doing something or that somebody was doing something underhanded to get an advantage before they even stepped in the ring.
00:37:13.000
Meanwhile Ronda Rousey's in some crazy commercial.
00:37:16.000
That's nuts man, but the thing is this isn't anything Manufactured that's what's crazy is this is really her.
00:37:23.000
She really is that badass like her technique is spectacular This isn't like look with all due respect like Paige Van Zandt is tough as fuck and she's really cute and she has good scrambles But when you see her you see a young fighter that's learning how to fight as a long way A long ways to go.
00:37:38.000
When you see Rhonda launching bitches through the air, when she's dropping down on Misha Tate after a highlight reel fucking hip toss.
00:37:50.000
You're just seeing some next level technique as well as this aura of this epic person.
00:37:56.000
On a podcast, have you ever talked about an MMA fighter longer than we've talked about Ronda today?
00:38:01.000
Well, because there's so much controversy, exactly.
00:38:05.000
With guys, there's not too much controversy, right?
00:38:10.000
I think the UFC should have more women's weight classes.
00:38:13.000
I think they should have a 145. There's not enough women, bro.
00:38:15.000
I think if they did have a 1-4, you build it and they will come, man.
00:38:23.000
But I don't think you should have, like, you don't have to have that many fights.
00:38:27.000
Like, if you have a woman like Cyborg, and she's at Invicta, and she has these fights, and they're every now and again, they're not that often, and when she's fighting, she's fighting girls that are a way lower level than her, why not have those fights in the UFC? Why not have everybody aspire?
00:38:40.000
Because that's exactly what you had in the strawweight division.
00:38:42.000
Until Jon Jacek stepped up and became this monster at 115, just smashing everybody.
00:38:50.000
You can get every female at 145 fucking doing it.
00:38:54.000
Instead of giving us the same old dudes and all that, do a 145 just all house.
00:38:59.000
The answer might be that there are just too many fighters to begin with in UFC. No, there's so many.
00:39:04.000
They should find out what Gabby Garcia can cut down to and then focus a whole division on her.
00:39:29.000
I was in the elevator with her in China for Abu Dhabi and I looked up like holy shit I thought I was standing next to Brock Lesnar.
00:39:44.000
The only opponents she's going to fight are like...
00:39:54.000
Because you know America got millions and millions and millions of fat bitches.
00:40:13.000
She's 105 and 0. But you don't want to run any drug tests on her either.
00:40:19.000
You bring in fat bitches to UFC. Maybe that surgery that she had might have weakened her chin too.
00:40:33.000
UFC called my manager last time to see if I would fight Ron at 135, December 5th.
00:40:41.000
And if the UFC asks you that, you don't fucking blurt it out and tell the world until it's done.
00:40:46.000
Because now Dana came out and was like, no, I never said that.
00:40:51.000
So either way, Dana wants to make Tito fucking her.
00:40:56.000
Rule number one, as soon as the UFC says, hey, we're thinking about you fighting whoever, please don't say anything.
00:41:07.000
Because she's been wrestling since she was a kid.
00:41:10.000
And Rhonda's been doing judo since she was a kid.
00:41:12.000
When I interview her, when I put my hand on Sarah McMahon, it's like Gleason Tebow.
00:41:27.000
It is weird that you have women ring girls when women are fighting.
00:41:31.000
I think Shaw, Big Brown, you need to strip down.
00:41:39.000
Will you bullshit me about Reebok saying that I have to wear their shit?
00:41:43.000
No, in the interview it said, we rushed this out to get the fighters done, and then they said, you know, next, we didn't even think about Joe Rogan or the ring card girls.
00:41:51.000
That's another thing, just like you were saying about Cyborg not talking about that, they shouldn't talk about that.
00:41:56.000
You know, don't, like, the whole thing's silly.
00:41:58.000
The whole thing's super sloppy, because people, they're like, we know we're taking a lot of criticism on the outfit, stuff like that, but...
00:42:03.000
Well, how about they spell people's names wrong?
00:42:16.000
Yeah, but basically what the Reebok guy said is, you know, we rushed to get this done, so we've made some mistakes, but we're learning.
00:42:27.000
He's different, because, you know, Reebok can say, hey, Joe, jump, and he's not going to do it.
00:42:36.000
Yeah, I watched the Ronda weigh-ins from the audience because they had a Brazilian guy that was introducing them.
00:43:00.000
She's tough, but when you watch them and then you watch Ronda, it's like, bro.
00:43:04.000
It's like LeBron versus a fucking pickup game in the park.
00:43:18.000
You know LeBron had a big part in that Amy Schumer movie?
00:43:28.000
The first 45 minutes, I couldn't stop going, ah!
00:43:32.000
But then, you know, when you get really raunchy in the movie...
00:43:53.000
Because she's an Olympic medalist, but she's not very good on the bottom.
00:44:01.000
Bro, name a wrestler who's really good on the bottom.
00:44:04.000
That's the problem, because they're so dominant.
00:44:31.000
Wow, she just said that she's the girl to beat Ronda.
00:44:34.000
I got a whole new respect for this girl right here.
00:44:37.000
Yeah, but she can't say she's the girl to beat Ronda because she just got ground out by Misha Tate.
00:44:46.000
That was her professional groundwork right there.
00:44:56.000
Got a new star right there, 135. But she was striking against a wrestler, so she was striking against a wrestler.
00:45:04.000
But I'll tell you what, Sarah McMahon hits hard.
00:45:30.000
Dude, you know what I don't want to see happen?
00:45:35.000
Because Paige is so damn hot, and Joanna is just totally ruthless.
00:45:49.000
But, you know what, I put all my money on Joanna, I'll never bet against her, but the bottom line is, if that fight was coming on right now, if you just, Paige Van Zandt, Joanna, I can't say her last name, you'd freak the fuck out!
00:46:00.000
It's not a competitive fight, it's not a smart fight.
00:46:05.000
No, because I don't see Paige's face get destroyed.
00:46:09.000
Have you ever seen another female fighter destroy a girl?
00:46:11.000
Yes, I've never seen another female destroy a girl's face like Joanna did to Pena.
00:46:41.000
I think Johanna's a monster and she's going to throw elbows at Paige's dime piece face.
00:46:51.000
I just think you shouldn't fight someone if you're not ready.
00:46:53.000
And I think she's really learning MMA when Johanna's a six-time world Muay Thai champion.
00:47:07.000
Anthony Hardonk, who is Ben Saunders' striking coach now, I hung out with him at the Chicago show.
00:47:13.000
He mentioned that Joanna was going and training with the Dutch guys at his gym for years, forever.
00:47:21.000
Because she's this little girl from Poland training with all these giant monsters.
00:47:32.000
And they knew, man, if she keeps it up, they knew she would be a star.
00:47:43.000
She's the best striker, period, in MMA. It's arguable.
00:47:48.000
I said that today, and I did some UFC countdown shit today.
00:47:50.000
I'm like, she might be the best technical striker in all of MMA. And the combo with her takedown defense?
00:47:56.000
You take her striking and her takedown defense?
00:48:19.000
She is mentally as strong as you've got to be to go against someone, Ronda.
00:48:25.000
I'm telling you right now, I'm very impressed with her.
00:48:38.000
Stop talking over each other so much here, boys.
00:48:42.000
I think her brother died or something like that in high school.
00:48:56.000
Everybody's gonna pay attention to me now in the UFC. They know why I love you.
00:49:00.000
Well, how long has Women's MMA been around, Joe?
00:49:07.000
I just want to thank Brian Kellen for his acting and his comedy.
00:49:14.000
It's a pleasure for me to watch him so much, so I wish he was here.
00:49:22.000
You know, he's skinny, but he's a beautiful ass.
00:49:46.000
Put your fucking beans and rice and Fogo the Childs in half-mask.
00:49:53.000
That's what he said when Eddie beat Hoyle Gracie, he called us up and he goes, Fogo the Childs got their flag at half-mask today.
00:50:05.000
That's one of the funniest things anybody's ever said ever.
00:50:09.000
He called while I did the podcast the day after, right?
00:50:15.000
That's one of those things I wish I thought of.
00:50:22.000
He was on the podcast when we were talking about suicide.
00:50:25.000
We were talking about knowing people that died, and I talked about this girl that I used to date that died, and I said, Joey, do you know anybody that ever, did you ever date a girl and she wound up killing herself?
00:50:42.000
He gets that fucking infested dick in your mouth as you shoot yourself right in the head.
00:50:48.000
This is the funniest thing anyone's ever said on the podcast.
00:51:03.000
You know you talk about Rhonda being some phenomenon MMA What about Joey fucking Diaz being a phenomenon, man?
00:51:11.000
His followers are so goddamn He's got some followers that would die for him and his periscopes He periscopes every morning and he smokes a bowl and periscope and he's got like 2,000 people watching him smoke weed every morning He's the best comedian ever I've seen them all.
00:51:34.000
I've worked with Richard Pryor who's out of his prime.
00:51:43.000
I think he's the funniest guy that's ever lived.
00:51:46.000
I don't want to give up the bit because this new Bill Cosby bit, I was screaming and slapping the table.
00:52:03.000
I don't know where he's at tonight, but goddamn, he's good.
00:52:39.000
He said to me, he goes, you know, Joey Diaz is just a really good guy.
00:52:42.000
He goes, just call me up and ask me how you're doing.
00:52:53.000
Yeah, he goes, I go, how come you don't like text messages and voicemails?
00:53:06.000
How many times has someone texted you something?
00:53:18.000
I talk to you occasionally, I talk to Brian on a fairly regular basis, and I talk to you fairly regularly, and Joey.
00:53:28.000
I talk to Joey every day, sometimes two or three times a day.
00:53:31.000
But Ari mumbles so bad, I can't talk to him on the phone.
00:53:37.000
Yeah, this guy is fucking New York City, whatever.
00:53:43.000
Dude, Ari is balling completely out of control right now.
00:53:49.000
It's always like top 15, top 20 on iTunes in the comedy section.
00:53:57.000
He's doing a month like in Australia, doing a month in Scotland.
00:54:03.000
Has an apartment in New York City that he's got somebody else that leases it while he's not there.
00:54:12.000
He's the most unmaterialistic guy in the world.
00:54:18.000
He's squirled away all his money because he doesn't spend it.
00:54:24.000
I was like, dude, treat yourself to like a nice BMW 3 Series.
00:54:51.000
I go, like, today I went to Cheesecake Factory, me and my wife and my son.
00:55:04.000
Yeah, I'd leave a stone cold 50 if I was going to say it on this podcast.
00:55:12.000
We're at the airport in Seattle, me and Joe, and we get coffee.
00:55:16.000
And Joe goes, he gives the guy money, and then I see him put something in the jar.
00:55:24.000
And I look, and it's a $100 bill on the tip jar.
00:55:34.000
I get the fuck out of there before they even know what the fuck happened.
00:55:45.000
You don't want to see, like, hey, man, did you just give me $100?
00:55:50.000
Just get out of there and know that when you're over by gate 22, this guy's going to have a good feeling when he looks into his tip jar.
00:55:59.000
If you can make someone feel happy like that, but it doesn't bother you at all, if you do know whether or not you have an extra 20 or an extra 50 or 100, I don't know.
00:56:07.000
Me and Cal were talking about this the other day.
00:56:09.000
If someone needs money, I just give it to them.
00:56:12.000
I stopped loaning people money a long time ago, but I've given people.
00:56:17.000
Because if I expect to get it back, then we're going to have problems.
00:56:19.000
And then there becomes this weird kind of dynamic between us.
00:56:22.000
So if I just give it to people, and then whatever, man.
00:56:33.000
Yeah, but luckily, dude, you guys are on your way.
00:56:39.000
I see the sex, drugs, and podcasting shirt the most for some reason.
00:56:56.000
Because it sucks, because these are two of the most talented guys in the UFC. Mighty Mouse might be the most talented in the world.
00:57:02.000
By far in the UFC, but these two can't carry a pay-per-view.
00:57:07.000
I really think that it's going to take some time, but I think that Mighty Mouse is such a good guy.
00:57:12.000
He's so well-spoken, and Dotson is the same thing.
00:57:18.000
It's just going to take a while before people realize it, but I talk about it as enthusiastically as I physically can.
00:57:28.000
We didn't need some Russian destroyer to come in to make it interesting, you know what I mean?
00:57:39.000
How about some Chinese guy comes in with some serious kung fu.
00:57:46.000
We can't have two brothers going at it at the flyweight.
00:57:52.000
If we see a Brazilian, that would be interesting.
00:57:55.000
I'm surprised there's not more small Brazilians killing the game.
00:57:57.000
A little tiny Brazilian who's killing everybody who's like...
00:58:00.000
You said something very controversial recently that the MMA media picked up on.
00:58:05.000
You said that Brazilians, they have a four-part diet.
00:58:18.000
There's one guy, he's like, fuck you, motherfucker, you fucking fuck, motherfucker, he used fuck 50 times.
00:58:26.000
Well, you gotta, look, you know, I've heard mad accusations behind the scenes, like mad accusations, and I can't talk about it because it's not responsible, but it's that old thing from the fucking CNC Music Factory song, things that make you go, hmm, yes.
00:58:43.000
No, I just don't throw these bombs out without having information behind it.
00:58:47.000
But again, there's certain stuff I can't talk about.
00:58:50.000
So I throw out these bombs and I get the people just talking shit to me like, no, no, I didn't just make this shit up, you idiots.
00:58:59.000
You're not some dude who works in a tire shop who's talking shit.
00:59:06.000
If anybody's allowed to talk about it, you know, this is a big fight for me, man.
00:59:12.000
Look at how fucking goddamn fast John Dotson is.
00:59:16.000
And not only that, John Dotson knocks motherfuckers dead.
00:59:30.000
Listen to this, my second fight ever in Washington, and I have my headphones on, and John Dotson and I are in the same locker room because Greg Jackson was cornering us.
00:59:36.000
It was by far my biggest fight at the time, my only second fight ever.
00:59:40.000
And I was fighting this Olympic wrestler, Johnny Curtis, and I have my headphones in, and I'm so nervous, I'm like, Fuck, man, this wrestler, man, he's about to dry hump the fuck out of me.
00:59:50.000
And I'm getting ready to walk out, and I'm listening to Rihanna in my headphones.
00:59:55.000
I forget which one, but it's like more of an up-tempo beat.
00:59:58.000
Look at Tim Johnson's mustache before we go any further.
01:00:06.000
So I'm walking out for this big fight, and John Dodson goes, hey, we don't know each other very well at all.
01:00:11.000
He goes, hey, are you listening to Rihanna, man?
01:00:27.000
He's working at Buffalo Wild Wings at the time.
01:00:47.000
Real soon, that's going to be popular amongst high school kids.
01:00:52.000
I'll be the first one here with that bullshit mustache.
01:01:04.000
First of all, it doesn't come in that this one.
01:01:07.000
Figure out a way to fucking put some testosterone.
01:01:12.000
It's gonna come in, it's gonna be popular, everyone's gonna have one of those Tom Selleck mustaches, then it's gonna get played out, and it's gonna be gross, and then the new young kids are gonna look at you when you're older with that mustache.
01:01:27.000
Eddie overthinks everything when it comes to style and fashion.
01:01:30.000
At one point, the Burt Reynolds child molester mustache was fucking getting you pussy.
01:01:36.000
They came back for a little while, and then they faded back out.
01:01:42.000
Who would have ever thought Grizzly Adams would look cool?
01:01:56.000
The way Joe always wears his is what's in right now.
01:02:31.000
The beard and skinny jeans is like a tribal freaking band tattoo.
01:02:42.000
A lot of guys are rolling up the bottoms of their pants.
01:03:15.000
They're the most comfortable jeans I've ever worn by far.
01:03:48.000
Because you defended the shit houses on his coccyx from doing the guard.
01:03:51.000
No, what I'm saying is, at one point, it wasn't not cool.
01:04:02.000
The first dude, are you telling me the first dude that got a tramp stamp, people thought he was gay?
01:04:07.000
He came to his buddies and his buddies went, God, that's a bad idea, bro.
01:04:14.000
Now if a girl has it, I see a girl with that, I'm like, yo, do you have good parents?
01:04:23.000
But for a girl even, it's kind of not cool, right?
01:04:38.000
I think if we saw a graph of the tramp stamp, you would see 1993, the fucking peak!
01:04:43.000
And then BAM! And by 2015, that shit's fucking...
01:04:50.000
There's not as many, but if a girl has something artistic back there, like really good work, it's like the tribal stuff is kind of like, why are you doing that back there?
01:04:59.000
But every now and then you'll see something that looks really good.
01:05:07.000
If a girl has a tramp stamp, who gives a fuck if she's hot?
01:05:10.000
You should start a website called reallygoodtrampstamps.com.
01:05:18.000
Can you imagine a guy, a hot chick, she's cool, she's making you laugh, and you turn around, and then you're like, oh no, I'm out of this bitch.
01:05:35.000
Hey, this heavyweight fight is probably not going to last long.
01:05:56.000
Yeah, well, there's a bunch of really pretty ones, man, for sure.
01:06:03.000
Tim Johnson's the one that looks like Bronson from that Australian movie.
01:06:10.000
The Australian guy, Tom Hardy, was the actor, right?
01:06:24.000
Like, there's different stakes when you're fucking dealing with a 230-pound man punching you.
01:06:30.000
You were talking about that, about the 225 division.
01:06:38.000
Because you're talking about, you know, if I weigh in at, you know, I've weighed in as light as 231, 232, and I've weighed in as 265. Basically, 35 pounds heavier.
01:06:49.000
And you would get a lot of those guys cutting weight down, too, to get to 225. All the time, man.
01:06:54.000
I mean, we have guys that have cut to get to 265, right?
01:07:02.000
He had to cut to 265. I was there when Tim Sylvia was at his most muscular best, when he beat Rico and those days.
01:07:15.000
He used to cut weight to get to 265. A lot of people sleep on Tim Sylvia, but I'll tell you what, the Tim Sylvia that beat Rico Rodriguez, He was a monster.
01:07:24.000
Especially at that time, would be one of the hardest heavyweights to be in.
01:07:51.000
Was it Winslow from half guard and he let him get up and then got it?
01:08:18.000
And he couldn't take him down, and he was like, I'm losing this motherfucker.
01:08:25.000
Okay, so he pulled guard by going with a fake takedown.
01:08:33.000
And then baited him into sitting up, grabbed the neck, and then choked him out.
01:08:44.000
I wanted to jump out of my TV and be like, can someone please stop this?
01:08:58.000
Speaking of great heavyweights, Fedor, in the talk with the UFC. Why'd they just stop this?
01:09:03.000
They separated him because they weren't active enough.
01:09:06.000
You just give him Verdum right away and say, fuck the world.
01:09:16.000
Because there's It's going to be a bunch of douchebags out there going, he should have to earn his way to the top.
01:09:26.000
You're always going to have people complaining.
01:09:42.000
Should he jump over to the other side with both feet?
01:09:55.000
He let go, but he still could get choked out here.
01:10:00.000
He's like, I want to get your thoughts of fighting Fedor.
01:10:39.000
I personally, I would give him right to Verdum.
01:10:51.000
Are you allowed to wear regular shorts or tight shorts?
01:10:56.000
Don't you think they should just go with only tights so that grabbing them is no longer an issue?
01:11:00.000
No, because some guys are self-conscious about it and they don't feel comfortable in tights.
01:11:03.000
So you're going to force me to wear fucking tights now?
01:11:13.000
Yeah, but it's not like, holy shit, these guys keep grabbing shorts.
01:11:17.000
I just feel like it's like, even if it's one percent or one-tenth of one percent of clinch situations, you can avoid that.
01:11:26.000
This dude with the mustache and some tights, though.
01:11:34.000
He's just so goddamn big they look like tights.
01:11:47.000
Not like this fucking guy from Australia that used to be in prison.
01:11:57.000
Yeah, his body is- If he fucked you in the ass, you wouldn't be shocked.
01:12:02.000
He looks like you're fucking- He's rather relaxed.
01:12:04.000
It would be the humiliation of not just a big guy fucking you, but feeling his gut slap against your ass.
01:12:12.000
The sides of his gut wrap around the sides of your ass.
01:12:15.000
Chris touched his shirt, and that went through my mind.
01:12:17.000
I thought, if I lose this guy, he's the worst body I've ever seen.
01:12:26.000
All they have to do is just not eat the same foods.
01:12:39.000
If you're carrying around that much body fat, you're taking in too many calories.
01:12:47.000
Is there a benefit to carrying a little body fat like these guys are if you don't have a weight limit and maybe you're not as big as, say, a Bigfoot solo?
01:13:05.000
Is there any benefit to, like, having this extra weight?
01:13:14.000
I'd be the first to say it, but I think it's rather unsightly.
01:13:18.000
You ever take your backpack off and it's just your laptop in it and some other bullshit?
01:13:22.000
You take it off and you're like, phew, that's light.
01:13:26.000
I mean, these guys might have like two or three fucking backpacks on all the time.
01:13:32.000
And if they got rid of that shit, they would move a lot better.
01:13:39.000
You feel fucking good when you take a loaded backpack off.
01:13:43.000
When you take a t-shirt off, you feel way better.
01:13:48.000
When Rinella and I were hunting, Brian, we wore backpacks and carried rifles for miles and miles.
01:14:03.000
I think when you take that rifle off and you set it down, you feel lighter.
01:14:08.000
I think it weighs about 15 pounds, right, a rifle?
01:14:11.000
Well, it's probably at least 15. Let's say 15. Mine's a really heavy rifle.
01:14:20.000
But either way, the bottom line is it's awkward and you're carrying all that weight around.
01:14:23.000
You've got fat around your legs that impedes your legs from moving as quick as they should.
01:14:29.000
Could you imagine if you had to throw kicks and you had like five pairs of pants on?
01:14:35.000
Well, first of all, and this is the way that Johnson dude, that belly's not helping right now.
01:14:40.000
This is the way that Johnson dude looks training for eight weeks.
01:14:44.000
Now think about when he says, fuck it and retires.
01:14:52.000
He's in the middle of the second round still kicking.
01:14:58.000
Didn't Paul Harris say that about Jake Shields, that Jake Shields was greased?
01:15:03.000
Yeah, we thought that about Nate Marquardt, but Nate Marquardt explained it.
01:15:07.000
Nate Marquardt put rubber pants on, he got a real good sweat before he went out there.
01:15:10.000
For that exact reason, and then knocked his ass out.
01:15:13.000
He's like, I'm not stupid, because I'm going to come out there sweaty.
01:15:25.000
Well, I think they're going to bring him, I mean, if they get rid of him, oh, Rochardt looking for the head and arm.
01:15:30.000
I think if they get rid of him, he goes to Bellator.
01:15:32.000
I think Bellator would be crazy to not take him.
01:15:39.000
Let me just get him some ayahuasca therapy, take him out to the fucking jungle, give him a straw hat.
01:15:47.000
I think if someone else signs up, Brian, Brian goes, hey, I need you to do me a favor.
01:15:55.000
I'm scared of that motherfucker as much as everyone else.
01:15:57.000
I'll give you steel, I'll give you steel, ankle girdles, and goggles.
01:16:03.000
Will it make your organization look bad if you signed him?
01:16:06.000
Will the public turn against that organization when they start petitioning him?
01:16:27.000
It's really when you get it down to your body that you have no room for movement.
01:16:34.000
Sometimes guys just don't know about just sucking it up next to the guy's ribs.
01:16:39.000
They're focused on the arm that's being attacked instead of using the other one to escape.
01:16:46.000
The guy at the top, once you have that double wrist lock, you gotta concentrate everything on getting that fucking elbow to his side.
01:16:52.000
Getting the elbow to the side- Keeping it tight.
01:16:55.000
Bringing it down, I think he was going for the Americana, right?
01:16:58.000
So if he brings it down towards the ribcage, the amount of movement that you could tolerate is so small.
01:17:09.000
If a guy is really strong, like some Alistair ovary motherfucker can get you up here and it'll hurt and you'll just tap just because you know it's going to get ripped apart anyway.
01:17:18.000
Like once that thing gets down to your ribs, boy, the tolerance of the shoulder joint in that position.
01:17:45.000
Sometimes I do things that don't ever take place.
01:17:47.000
There's a bunch of fights that I have done countdown shows for that have never taken place.
01:17:54.000
I did two theoretical fights that may or may not happen, but they haven't been signed.
01:18:04.000
But I've done some before where the fights never took place.
01:18:12.000
They've been trying for this fight for a long time.
01:18:13.000
But what's going on right now is that Junior is coming back from surgery.
01:18:38.000
When Stipe beat the shit out of Mark Hunt, that was like...
01:18:41.000
You could see that this is a different Mark Hunt.
01:18:44.000
This is a Mark Hunt that's like at the end of the line.
01:18:51.000
My buddy Cody goes to Vegas to have his brain researched by some clinic there, and they're using fighters.
01:18:58.000
And they're doing a lifetime test where you go every year, and they do five years, ten years.
01:19:02.000
And Cody went back for his five years until he did it five years ago.
01:19:06.000
And they said, when you get knocked out, it affects...
01:19:26.000
And he was telling Cody that there's certain fights, and he was having Cody go through all his fight history, and he goes, there's certain fights where, for whatever reason, you took one punch and you will never be the same.
01:19:38.000
It doesn't matter what you do, but you will never be the same fighter ever again.
01:19:41.000
Because it affects a certain part of your brain?
01:19:42.000
Yeah, it affects a certain brain that will never, ever be the same again.
01:19:45.000
Yeah, I had Kirk from MixedMartialArts.com on the podcast, and he was talking to me about this guy that we knew that they told him he could never get hit in the head again.
01:19:55.000
They're like, don't ever get hit in the head again.
01:20:03.000
You can get head kicked, especially if you get head kicked.
01:20:08.000
Me and Cody were talking about our original team.
01:20:10.000
I'm not going to mention names, but we were going through it.
01:20:18.000
There's just not many guys, and we had a ridiculous team.
01:20:21.000
If you're watching a guy like, say, Anthony Pettis.
01:20:23.000
Anthony Pettis, when he knocked out Joe Lozon with that nasty head kick, or knocked out Cerrone with that body kick.
01:20:29.000
How many times can you let Anthony Pettis kick you before you're never the same again?
01:20:33.000
There's a certain amount of numbers you can get hit with.
01:20:35.000
That guy hits you so fucking fast and hard, and when he hits guys, they slump.
01:20:43.000
You watch that head kick, and you go, Jesus Christ.
01:20:50.000
But the thing that people forget, you're only going to get those crazy hits.
01:20:54.000
The body doesn't know whether you're doing it in training or you're doing it for money.
01:20:58.000
The body does not know if it counts for the UFC or in training.
01:21:02.000
Joseph Valtellini relinquished his title because of post-concussion syndrome.
01:21:17.000
Nicky was winning the fight, but it was a good fight.
01:21:19.000
And Mark DeBond, he's another guy that he fought.
01:21:33.000
It's a part of this because it's everything you do.
01:21:37.000
It just doesn't seem fair that everything you love and everything that makes you who you are and gives you your identity is also stealing your mind.
01:21:46.000
That's why we look up to fighters and that's why fighters are a lot of people's heroes.
01:21:52.000
There are two parts of your body that are not made for combat sports, no matter what.
01:21:57.000
I thought you were going to say your dick and your balls.
01:22:00.000
I thought you were going to say your dick and your brain.
01:22:03.000
The back is worse because they can fix the knees.
01:22:06.000
They can do some pretty good fixing of the knees.
01:22:08.000
They can basically fix everything except your brain.
01:22:14.000
There's some back stuff that they really can't fix.
01:22:17.000
But your knees are always the first to go, aren't they?
01:22:20.000
Your brain for sure goes before everything else.
01:22:22.000
Well, your knees can go early, but they can fix them and make them better than they were before as long as you don't have too much meniscus and cartilage damage.
01:22:30.000
And now, apparently, they're regenerating cartilage with these stem cell treatments.
01:22:37.000
What's it going to be like five years from now?
01:22:39.000
They have a scaffolding now that allows them to regrow meniscus.
01:22:45.000
I wonder if they have to take a cadaver, I think.
01:22:57.000
Johnson just hit Roshaw with a bomb of a right hand.
01:23:02.000
I wonder what percentage of NFL football players have had knee surgery.
01:23:19.000
Just like sometimes guys don't mean to punch a guy in the back of the head.
01:23:23.000
Crazy shit happens, and that happens in football, too.
01:23:25.000
Well, in the NFL, now the guy's running fucking 30 yards, runs a 4-3 in the 40. What?
01:23:34.000
It's so crazy to think of how fucking powerful these guys are.
01:23:45.000
Oh, the guy that we were talking about on the TV last night?
01:23:56.000
The 49ers released him, but I can't talk about it, but I have some shit that I know because I talked to Tariq, his head coach, and you'll see.
01:24:12.000
Anytime a heavyweight fight gets a decision, no one's a fan.
01:24:18.000
I think our definition of wild is different, but yeah.
01:24:28.000
He's being rather judgmental and confrontational.
01:24:56.000
There's microphones that we can get that'll catch even more of the atmosphere of the room than this, but I think this is the right compromise.
01:25:02.000
This is my favorite studio, man, I've ever been in.
01:25:09.000
I was telling you guys a little bit off here, because we were renegotiating our contract with Fox, And the heads of Fox, the suits, they hate the kid in Big Brown, but they love our numbers.
01:25:26.000
But they listen to it because, like, what's going on?
01:25:28.000
We're getting all these comments, and then me and Brian are talking about dick jokes and honeydicking and chicken heads.
01:25:38.000
He goes, is there any way you guys can talk less about dicks?
01:25:51.000
Once they start asking you, it's just never going to stop.
01:25:53.000
No, no, that was the term, though, because we came to an agreement.
01:25:56.000
And they go, we're going to let you keep doing your thing because you have great numbers.
01:25:59.000
And now we're going to do, we just signed this deal to do digital shows of Brian and myself like Robin Bigg.
01:26:15.000
But like, you do stupid stuff like Brian and I are going to attempt Naked and Afraid.
01:26:19.000
We're going to go fucking out in the woods butt naked.
01:26:45.000
So once that happens, there's really nothing they can do.
01:26:50.000
The government, I'm sure, would not like everyone to have access to all the information in the world all the time.
01:26:59.000
Once it gets open like that, that's what it is.
01:27:08.000
Things are rough in Nashville if that's the star there.
01:27:22.000
Their latest album has a really good song called Wait For Me.
01:27:29.000
I'm worried if I show up to a UFC event, they're going to put me in the nosebleeds and be like, you've got to wear all this Reebok shit.
01:27:34.000
Well, lucky for you, you know somebody with tickets.
01:27:43.000
Listen, you're an ally and an asset for the UFC. You're a huge UFC fan.
01:27:48.000
But someone like Fox, they're gonna have a problem with what you're doing because it's so unconventional.
01:27:52.000
And if you say something ridiculous, they're the ones who are gonna get blamed for it.
01:27:55.000
Who let these fucking guys get on the Fox network?
01:27:58.000
That's also why our numbers are so big, because I don't sugarcoat things.
01:28:04.000
This is why I told you, you guys shouldn't be on anybody's network.
01:28:11.000
As soon as your numbers drop, we're going to...
01:28:13.000
But you shouldn't have a contract with anybody.
01:28:17.000
There's no need for anybody to have anything in writing that connects you and them to what you guys are doing.
01:28:26.000
You're not gaining anything by being affiliated with someone.
01:28:31.000
You're losing money, you're losing control, and you're losing your mind because you're having to have these conversations where they tell you not to talk about dick.
01:28:52.000
If he didn't die, Bruce Lee wouldn't be doing commercials.
01:29:04.000
Well, he weighed 135 pounds and you're at least 140. Hey man, I'm 170, bro!
01:29:11.000
There's also the possibility that you were some sort of a Taekwondo fighter.
01:29:20.000
I don't like the way you just implied that maybe I wasn't by the way you said it because you took a sip of wine in a very...
01:29:25.000
I'm so glad there's at least one video of me knocking somebody out online.
01:29:41.000
Joe used to say that because I used to ask him.
01:29:47.000
But I experienced his turning sidekick, like, first-hand.
01:29:52.000
We'd be in his garage, and he'd be murdering the bag, and I didn't know if that was normal.
01:30:04.000
I would go back to jiu-jitsu school, and there was one bag.
01:30:10.000
There's one kicking bag that's heavy on the bottom.
01:30:16.000
And in jiu-jitsu, there's always karate black belts, taekwondo black belts.
01:30:22.000
In jiu-jitsu, it's very, very common that these black belts from the striking disciplines, the traditional martial arts, are taking jiu-jitsu.
01:30:33.000
So I would have a guy kick the bag, a black belt, and I'd say, throw a turning sidekick.
01:30:38.000
Let me see what it feels like, or it looks like.
01:30:40.000
And then he'd throw it, then Joe would come and fucking throw it, and everybody would just stand back and say, what the fuck just happened?
01:31:00.000
We talked about this on one of the other Fight Company podcasts.
01:31:18.000
We were sitting with Mark De La Grotte, me and Joe and Mark De La Grotte, and De La Grotte was saying that he...
01:31:23.000
You may laugh, but I spent a long time kicking, and I spent a long time around really good guys who could kick really hard.
01:31:35.000
And Mark De La Grotte said, I can't hold pads because my forearms, I couldn't sign.
01:31:41.000
He goes, my hands were shaking too much after holding fucking pads for you as you were kicking them.
01:31:47.000
I, when I saw that Instagram, personally, I've spent a long time around good kickers and trying to kick really well myself.
01:31:58.000
You should watch videos of Melvin Manhoff kicking them.
01:32:00.000
Yeah, he kicks, but you're not that far behind, bro.
01:32:04.000
All I know is anybody that holds pads for him, and I've been around, everyone says the same thing.
01:32:41.000
There was one podcast where we just went balls deep in these pickles.
01:32:46.000
These are like regular fucking store-bought pickles.
01:32:54.000
I think if more guys did yoga, I think yoga would help your kicking a lot.
01:33:03.000
Eddie Bravo's guard is one of the most preposterous guards you can get caught in.
01:33:11.000
And a lot of that is because of his flexibility.
01:33:21.000
You're way more flexible in certain ways than me, and I'm very flexible.
01:33:28.000
But listen, but I see people trying to emulate what he does, but they don't have the flexibility.
01:33:40.000
It's just those numbers and the idea of what you're trying to do.
01:33:44.000
Some people are just born with different bones.
01:33:54.000
Long triangles that can get both your fucking arms trapped in, like in a dead orchard.
01:33:58.000
You can do things with your body if you have these long bodies that you can't do.
01:34:38.000
Kermit has skinny legs and I have trouble with jeans, bro.
01:35:21.000
I'm picturing Kermit's arms with no movement at all.
01:35:31.000
Eddie, man, you and I. That's why it's so funny.
01:35:37.000
That is like, seriously, if you're going to make fun of a dude's arms, Kermit the Frog's arms, Kermit the Frog's arms, Kermit the Frog.
01:35:58.000
Eddie, the fucking Instagram post that you and I both posted, you posted a caption with it.
01:36:03.000
There's a dude who's sucking this guy's tongue.
01:36:11.000
Eddie Bravo says, when you partying and Rodman has the last rock...
01:36:24.000
The reason why it came up to me was because the guy has Kermit Defar's body.
01:36:28.000
We were talking about how this guy's like so meek.
01:36:31.000
He's probably like only like three feet tall and he's just like used to being humiliated.
01:36:44.000
That foot is like this, and this dude is just deep-throating these toes.
01:36:54.000
Dude, that's probably how Dennis Rodman's feet actually look.
01:37:18.000
So I had to do that douchey thing by saying the real Eddie Bravo.
01:37:26.000
Originally, I just thought that's what you're supposed to do.
01:37:41.000
Somebody told me once that if a girl has a second toe that's bigger than the big toe, that she's undoubtedly a freak.
01:37:52.000
No matter what she tells you, she can tell you, she goes to church, the girl's a freak.
01:38:15.000
On the Ultimate Fighter season 14, I was a guest coach on there, and he drove me fucking nuts.
01:38:21.000
I didn't think he was going to make shit because he quit nonstop all the time.
01:38:28.000
Things would be going rough, and he'd just stop, and then be like, oh, I'm hurt, and would sit out all the time.
01:38:38.000
He caught Yoel Romero with a switch kick to the head.
01:38:41.000
That's when I realized what a freak Yoel Romero is.
01:38:44.000
Because Yoel Romero took it right on the neck and just stunned him for a second and then just went right back to his normal natural movements.
01:38:55.000
I think he's Wyman's biggest threat in many ways.
01:39:00.000
I think it's the greatest fight in middleweight history.
01:39:12.000
You gotta tell me how you watch him go through Lyoto Machida like fucking hot butter, and you don't want to see Rockhold fight against Wyvern.
01:39:21.000
I actually thought Lyoto Machida won that last round, or at least was on his way to.
01:39:28.000
Rockhold destroyed Lyoto Machida in two rounds.
01:39:34.000
Well, Machida and Weidman had some great exchanges, and there was one exchange, particularly when Machida poured it on, but Weidman is really fucking durable.
01:39:44.000
He got tagged with some shots, but it was never like, oh my god, he's going!
01:39:50.000
What I'm trying to say is, I... I think that Yoel Romero is a bigger threat to Wyman.
01:39:58.000
Well, his cardio is definitely going to be an issue, but I don't think he's a bigger threat.
01:40:17.000
But he can move better than this if he was relaxed.
01:40:21.000
If he was relaxed here and not just fucking teeing off with 100%, he's wasting energy.
01:40:27.000
If he was more efficient, he'd be landing more shots.
01:40:33.000
Yeah, but for him as a fighter, he could do better.
01:40:42.000
But if he just took it down a notch with the wildness and was more accurate.
01:40:50.000
You've all been in that situation, especially if you're angry at somebody and you find yourself chasing them.
01:40:54.000
You're being emotional and you're rushing for the fight.
01:40:58.000
Every now and then, can I get a guy that's going to go out there?
01:41:01.000
More than not, you're getting that, though, Eddie.
01:41:03.000
More than not, you're getting that until you get to the higher levels.
01:41:06.000
I want to see him develop to the highest skill level possible.
01:41:09.000
That's hurting the guy, being controlled, and then timing it for the exact time.
01:41:13.000
We can't have one motherfucker that goes out there and throws bombs on top.
01:41:17.000
We can, but we're not looking for unique individuals that don't reach their potential.
01:41:21.000
We're looking for everybody to be as good as they can be.
01:41:26.000
Fight like this, you're going to go 5-10 in the UFC. Here's a perfect example.
01:41:30.000
Ioannia Jacek, when she had Jessica Panay hurt in the same type of situation, she didn't do this, okay?
01:41:36.000
Everything she did looked crisp and controlled.
01:41:44.000
Can we have crazy motherfuckers like this every now and then?
01:41:46.000
He's going to get to a higher level where this doesn't work.
01:41:54.000
But it's not even a matter of the fact that he can't perform the punches or kicks correctly, because obviously he can.
01:42:00.000
It's just a matter of composure while executing.
01:42:03.000
Like, I guarantee if you got Derek Brunson and you were like, if Anthony Hardonk was working pads with him and you got to see him throw some combinations, he would look smooth as butter.
01:42:18.000
But you're going to get to a certain level, and it happened with me.
01:42:20.000
When I fought Ben Rothwell, I threw a spinning back elbow, rocked him, and I rushed in just like he was doing.
01:42:32.000
But if I would have been more controlled, smart, Calculated.
01:42:36.000
Kind of like Orlovsky did actually with Travis Brown.
01:42:46.000
Orlovsky's also, you know, he's a former world champ.
01:42:49.000
A lot of guys, when you get rocked like that, especially, you know, you want to get in and get, you're like, oh, he's hurt.
01:42:57.000
Carl's Jr. is selling a beef burger with no steroids.
01:43:09.000
Ronda Rousey is going to be so goddamn rich when she retires.
01:43:17.000
But the amount of rich she's going to be, she's going to be like Oprah rich.
01:43:44.000
Yeah, she needs a guy who's going to take a back seat.
01:43:47.000
She also needs a guy who's going to say, yes, ma'am.
01:43:51.000
Well, she's surrounded by, you know, she's so successful, she's surrounded by people that warsper and go, yes, yes, that's a great idea.
01:43:57.000
And when I went, I don't think that's a good idea.
01:44:07.000
I don't think we should have this conversation out of respect for her.
01:44:23.000
We've been talking nothing but good shit about her this whole time.
01:44:31.000
You kind of have to be out of your mind to be as good as she is.
01:44:35.000
And I think that she'll probably admit it as quickly as anybody.
01:44:38.000
And I think that in that position that she's in, when you are that powerful and that strong and such a shining star...
01:44:48.000
Man, finding a guy to match that with you, finding a guy that you mesh with perfectly, has got to be crazy difficult.
01:44:57.000
People who are that great, it's going to be tough in your personal life, man.
01:45:06.000
If I wasn't so nice and friendly and creative, I'd be a way better fighter, man.
01:45:13.000
It's very hard for him to find a woman that can control him and dominate him correctly.
01:45:23.000
Bobby Lee is this really small, feeble guy who's afraid of everything.
01:45:29.000
So he's got to find the right woman for that situation.
01:45:35.000
Yeah, most women want to be taking care of, like, throw me against the wall.
01:45:39.000
Bobby Lee's like, throw me against the wall, motherfucker.
01:45:48.000
People gotta find the right person for the job.
01:45:53.000
And the funny shit is, Jay Leno and I were having this conversation about it.
01:45:59.000
We were talking about this guy that showed up at his studio once and just started asking questions about some actress and said, do you think I could meet her?
01:46:07.000
Because if I met her, I'm pretty sure that she would know that I'm the one.
01:46:13.000
Like, could you imagine being a famous woman and have a bunch of dummies out there that think that if they got to you, that they could be the one, and then they just go, I just gotta meet her.
01:46:25.000
She has all these keyboard warriors jacking off to her all the time.
01:46:30.000
God, if I could just get in front of her, man, I'm the guy for the job.
01:46:35.000
If I could just drink her bath water, man, I would fucking, if I could just suck her big toe.
01:46:48.000
I'm excited about this fight, but if you pick one, I'll pick the other.
01:46:59.000
I've been known to fuck up names from time to time.
01:47:03.000
I most certainly don't want to bet against Benil DelaRouche because I'm a big fan.
01:47:19.000
I like the way he fights, and I also like what Rafael Cordero's done, man.
01:47:23.000
I was cornering Brian, T-City, the kid who's tearing up in the UFC right now.
01:47:27.000
I was cornering him on a low-level show in LA, and Dariush was in the back warming up because he was the main event, and I was watching him hit mitts, and I was like, holy...
01:47:38.000
And T City was like, oh, that guy's the next big thing.
01:47:42.000
I saw his fight, and I'm like, dude, what's your deal?
01:47:44.000
He's like, man, I'm just trying to get better, blah, blah, blah.
01:47:48.000
And he starts telling me, like, jiu-jitsu's my passion.
01:47:52.000
But I saw him just wreck some dude on the feet.
01:48:39.000
He's one of those guys that I always watch fight, and I always appreciate his fights.
01:48:42.000
He's fantastic, but I'm always like, man, how many more of these does this guy have in him?
01:48:52.000
Speaking of that style, we had a buddy, I won't mention names, fighting the UFC, and his style was kind of like that Leonard Garcia style.
01:48:58.000
And I talked to him on the phone and could not understand him.
01:49:06.000
I'm just teaching a little kickboxing and I'm working at this school.
01:49:11.000
Dude, did you know Shane Mosley's fighting soon?
01:49:22.000
Not just punch drunk, but how about the fact that his body seems to have deteriorated.
01:50:14.000
Michael Johnson's been sparring on a regular basis with Nicky Holtzkin.
01:50:19.000
Nicky Holtzkin's been training with the Black Zillions.
01:50:21.000
There's some great videos of them going to war.
01:50:26.000
Nicky Holtzkin's also been working out with his Dutch kickboxing coach, the kickboxing coach for Holtzkin.
01:50:31.000
They're showing him combinations that they use.
01:50:33.000
That's trouble, because he's good enough athlete to pick it up like this.
01:50:37.000
His sparring sessions have been fucking legendary down there with Holsken.
01:50:59.000
The fighter and the kid, you with the girl with the frog fucking flippers.
01:51:04.000
I always thought that Dutch kickboxing, like the Anthony Hardong style, I always thought that was the Dutch's version of Muay Thai.
01:51:11.000
But hanging out with Anthony, he's giving me the history.
01:51:15.000
And it really has nothing to do with Muay Thai.
01:51:19.000
Yeah, it's karate-based, but they did incorporate some of the Thai techniques, and they definitely did incorporate.
01:51:26.000
But they use, it's more like a Shotokan, or not Shotokan, like Gojo-Ru.
01:51:35.000
In Muay Thai, you kind of just plod forward, and there's no footwork.
01:51:43.000
In and out and you just don't stand there and take shots.
01:51:46.000
Yeah, they also had this fucking hard style, man.
01:51:56.000
Like, you know, that combination that everybody calls the dutchy, that left hook to the body and the right leg kick behind it.
01:52:01.000
That's something that's like really classic to Muay Thai, but the Dutch really took it to another level.
01:52:08.000
They throw, like, boxing-style combinations that the Thai guys didn't.
01:52:14.000
And then when Ramon Deckers went over there and fought the Thais...
01:52:23.000
It wasn't, like, Kamen or a lot of these other guys who were, like, bigger.
01:52:28.000
You know, the average height of a guy in Holland is six feet tall.
01:52:39.000
He said that a low-level boxer can beat a low-level Dutch kickboxer, but an elite Dutch kickboxer will always beat an elite boxer.
01:52:51.000
Because they will never withstand the leg kicks.
01:53:03.000
The whole game gets way trickier when you have little gloves.
01:53:05.000
That's why you see Joe Schilling got knocked down in glory.
01:53:13.000
He was talking about the difference between boxing and the Dutch style kickboxing.
01:53:17.000
He really was talking about boxing like it was...
01:53:22.000
Like, there's so many things that you do wrong in boxing that when the legs are involved, you get smashed.
01:53:27.000
I think I said Joe Schilling got knocked out in glory.
01:53:30.000
But a great kickboxer fighting a guy who's a karate guy.
01:53:57.000
I watch them when I DVR. I don't even have time for the fucking UFC, and you're such a UFC expert.
01:54:32.000
But Andre Ward, pound for pound, I think he's the best fighter right now.
01:54:49.000
And now boxing's on ESPN, NBC. It's so dope, man.
01:54:59.000
There's a lot of really good fights in boxing right now.
01:55:02.000
You know, the middleweight division is heating up.
01:55:04.000
You've got Canelo Alvarez, Gennady Golovkin, and Alvarez is going to fight...
01:55:38.000
If she gets into MMA, it's going to be trouble, man, with her stand-up.
01:55:42.000
She's already kind of talked a little shit to Ioana.
01:55:56.000
I saw her mitts in Black House and I was like, good lord.
01:56:03.000
I'm looking forward to some of these jiu-jitsu girls getting into MMA. Like jiu-jitsu world champions.
01:56:36.000
I mean, she's no Bruce Lee, but she'll give you a fight.
01:57:02.000
You guys don't think that Glover's a tough fight for him?
01:57:06.000
But if the Glover, before he fought Jon Jones, do you think Glover has had too many tough fights?
01:57:18.000
Yeah, Eddie can't really bet on this because OSP is his boy.
01:58:08.000
I honey-dicked him into the Frankie Edgar, you're my favorite fight.
01:58:16.000
Just keep doing it back and forth and just keep a tab on.
01:58:23.000
What if it gets dark and we have to have a meeting and shit?
01:58:33.000
It's $13,000, but just give me five right now and we'll shut the fuck up.
01:58:42.000
Instead of me giving you five, I'll bet you five on the next.
01:59:05.000
It's somewhere in like Azerbaijan or something.
01:59:17.000
I mean, I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers.
01:59:31.000
So what happened with Dariush and I need to watch that fight with...
01:59:43.000
At any given time, you zig when you should have zagged.
01:59:54.000
You know, he doesn't keep his hands up high, but he keeps his chin tucked pretty good.
02:00:13.000
And so if he's a Christian in Iran, he's probably an Assyrian.
02:00:18.000
Oh, Brian will drop some world shit on you, man.
02:00:21.000
How about when I guessed all their nationalities?
02:00:24.000
We went to a coffee shop, no one spoke English.
02:00:26.000
Brian just started saying, you're from Afghanistan, you're from Belarus, you're from Croatia, and I was like, this fool's on drugs.
02:00:38.000
Come on, brother, you know I got the guns, I got the Kermit guns, and I got the knowledge.
02:00:58.000
You see that HBO special about Iran where you can die if you're gay, but if you have a sex change, they'll let you live?
02:01:09.000
Because you're supposed to take advantage of science.
02:01:10.000
Science has never been something that Islam had a problem with.
02:01:23.000
There's a bunch of transvestites that just wish they were dudes.
02:01:29.000
It's just a shitload of Caitlyn Jennings over there.
02:01:38.000
Believe it or not, They say that, but there are gay communities in Iran and places, and like anywhere else, they're kind of left alone.
02:01:47.000
There's a commercial that's going on while the fight is going on.
02:01:56.000
You know how much they had to pay for that shit?
02:02:05.000
Especially these two frickin' world class fighters.
02:02:08.000
Yeah, this is not just words like Monday Night Football coming up next.
02:02:10.000
They should have the stock market on the bottom.
02:02:17.000
Dude, what if the ring girls did like a buy Reebok?
02:02:24.000
Yeah, just a girl naked throwing a monster energy drink down her pussy.
02:02:34.000
You're wearing your pants on stand-up comedy on the side.
02:02:38.000
Bill Hicks got a great joke about advertisers, if they could do what they wanted to do.
02:02:41.000
You'd just see a girl, and you'd focus on her, and you'd go down to her pussy lips.
02:02:46.000
You'd see she's spreading her fingers, spreading her pussy, and looking you in the eye, and it just says, Drink Coke.
02:03:02.000
I mean, it would turn a lot of women off from Coke.
02:03:04.000
Think if you could do whatever you want and there's no freaking repercussions how different society would be.
02:03:09.000
It's called what you're doing right now on the internet, son.
02:03:19.000
They might pull some JFK shit and the UFC might just snipe me out.
02:03:42.000
See, now Dario probably feels like there's something going on here.
02:03:54.000
Yeah, but he thinks he just wants to stand with him.
02:03:57.000
I think he's so fucking confident in his stand-up from sparring with Holtzkin.
02:04:03.000
I think as good an athlete as he is, he's picking it up at a very high rate.
02:04:08.000
He's got really good training down there in Florida.
02:04:11.000
Henry Hooft is so fucking clever as a kickboxing coach.
02:04:26.000
Oh, that's great, but you know what's the scariest thing?
02:04:38.000
They're both throwing serious wheel kicks, serious karate, traditional martial arts shit.
02:04:48.000
When he did that switch kick and he caught him in the ribs, his side was lobster red.
02:04:59.000
He was protecting it a little bit, but overall...
02:05:00.000
He took a lot of shots at the legs that cut down his movement.
02:05:03.000
You can see, especially in the third round, he was very labored in his movement because of those kicks.
02:05:18.000
He might be the best kicker in the UFC. Dude, he's scary.
02:05:23.000
He's the only guy that's ever stopped two guys with leg kicks.
02:05:33.000
Anthony Hardong said that Donald Cerrone has the best kicks, he thinks.
02:05:42.000
Donald's his game as anybody that's ever lived.
02:05:53.000
But Darius's got to figure out how to get this fucking fight to the ground.
02:06:04.000
It's just that I feel like the level of sparring that Johnson's been getting is such a high level.
02:06:10.000
It's going to be hard to take that dude down, man.
02:06:24.000
When he first started fighting in the UFC in the Ultimate Fighter, showed a lot of wrestling talent.
02:06:29.000
He looks bigger, but it doesn't seem to matter at this point.
02:06:30.000
Well, he's a long guy, you know, but Johnson's thick.
02:06:36.000
Johnson has, like, a nice snap to his punches, too.
02:06:40.000
Like, he's, like, he's popping it at the end, you know?
02:06:44.000
But, and this is the second round is when you start to see these guys slow down quite a bit, you know?
02:07:02.000
Goddamn T.J. looked good in that Henneper out fight.
02:07:07.000
It depends on where Dominic is at, health-wise.
02:07:12.000
But he obviously doesn't want to come back too soon.
02:07:16.000
I mean, he's already done that a couple of times.
02:07:22.000
It's just such a disaster over and over and over again.
02:07:24.000
I think TJ even said he'd go up to 45 and fight Conor.
02:07:40.000
Dude, TJ. I feel like TJ's a lot smaller than Conor, though.
02:07:51.000
I remember back in the day when he was first coming up, TJ, I'm like, that little wrestler, he understands jiu-jitsu right away.
02:07:58.000
He's young in this game, and a lot of wrestlers, it takes him years to figure out, you gotta fall in love with jiu-jitsu.
02:08:03.000
That's such a high-stakes gamble, though, to fight a guy like Conor, because Conor can knock him out.
02:08:13.000
So when TJ fought Barrow, the first fight, he got caught off guard, and TJ cracked him.
02:08:23.000
And after that first round, that dude was on autopilot, and TJ just beat the brakes off of him.
02:08:28.000
But the second fight, you could see Burrell was not the same human being.
02:08:41.000
You also have to deal with post-concussion syndrome because that first fight, he took a fucking beating.
02:08:46.000
He took a beating from the first round to the fifth round.
02:08:49.000
And especially that last combination when TJ Head kicked him.
02:09:00.000
We all know someone who's had a fight like that and never really totally recovered.
02:09:04.000
So you got that, and then you got confidence loss because he was this monster who hadn't been beaten in nine years and just was running through people, finding a way to beat everybody.
02:09:13.000
How long does it take to get over, like your last fight, you retire, you got beat down, you got your title taken, you never come back.
02:09:20.000
Obviously, you're going to be sad from that the next day and then two days later and a week later.
02:09:25.000
When does it get to a point where that fight doesn't matter, the fact that you're a boxing icon or an MMA legend, you're beyond that last fight?
02:09:40.000
You know, some guys, look, no guy has ever gone from the Ultimate Fighter and become as good as TJ did, as quick as TJ did.
02:09:48.000
And he's also a sponge, and he's a super nice guy.
02:09:52.000
Even though TJ is like ultra competitive, right?
02:10:05.000
It's like personality road bumps that some fighters have to keep them from learning.
02:10:09.000
Is the kind of the, I almost want to say the trash truck between Alpha Male and Dwayne now.
02:10:16.000
Like Chad Mendes goes, we fucking made Dwayne Ludwig.
02:10:22.000
He needed disciples, and he found super athletes that were willing to listen, and it showed what he's capable of.
02:10:29.000
But also what made him is how good he is at it.
02:10:32.000
He's undeniably one of the best striking coaches I've ever seen.
02:10:36.000
And his relationship with TJ and the progress TJ's made cement that.
02:10:47.000
There's a lot of really good striking coaches out there.
02:10:58.000
That's like every athlete or every trainer's dream.
02:11:05.000
And nobody should be taking credit for anybody else's.
02:11:18.000
I'm very close with TJ. I'm very close with Danny.
02:11:25.000
And, you know, Onnit, this is not really talked about very much, but we had one point in time thought about buying their gym.
02:11:31.000
We thought about setting up an Onnit gym through them, and we had considered doing it, but we knew that they were having some disputes with Dwayne, and they were trying to sort it all out, but we were talking about going into some sort of an Onnit partnership with them, because we sponsor a lot of those guys.
02:11:47.000
And we want to start making some more on-it gyms.
02:11:50.000
And having an on-it MMA gym was an idea that we bounced around a few times.
02:11:55.000
And I think that when you have a stable full of guys like Chad Mendes, Lance Palmer, T.J. Dillashaw, Joey Benavidez, Danny Castillo, Uriah motherfucking Faber.
02:12:09.000
And if you get a guy who's as nuts as Dwayne is, and Dwayne is fucking nuts, about training and about the fanatical approach that he takes to training guys, he's obsessed.
02:12:21.000
I mean, the day TJ fought Burrell, he and I had lunch, and there was like five or six other people there.
02:12:30.000
He's going to fake to the left and the whole deal about what you see Burrell does.
02:12:34.000
Flat-footed guy is never going to be a guy like TJ. He goes, you're just going to set up these angles.
02:12:38.000
He went out and did exactly what Dwayne said he was going to do.
02:12:50.000
And Dwayne wouldn't be where he's at without them.
02:12:56.000
You see Danny Castillo in his last fight, he's throwing all these head kicks, his footwork looks amazing, and he's learning from TJ and he's learning from Dwayne too.
02:13:07.000
It was too bad those guys couldn't work it out.
02:13:10.000
Because that is literally the dream relationship.
02:13:17.000
Well, he might just be tired of training people.
02:13:19.000
No, he said his family doesn't want to be in Sacramento anymore.
02:13:27.000
He can sit, but I don't think he can do it because of all his obligations here with media and stuff like that.
02:13:36.000
These guys are actually taking shots to the head, and they don't seem to be faced at all.
02:13:42.000
Sometimes you watch a fight, and you watch these guys.
02:13:46.000
Martin Katzler was the head coach, the head MMA coach.
02:13:55.000
Michael Johnson has been hit four times and he just keeps coming forward.
02:14:05.000
That's the problem with these goddamn fight companions.
02:14:07.000
We miss amazing fights because the company's too good.
02:14:11.000
By the way, Darius right now is winning this round.
02:14:23.000
It looks like Johnson has slowed down a bit, man.
02:14:27.000
You know, who knows how hard a time he has making 155. A lot of these dudes have a hard time making that weight, man.
02:14:44.000
What do you think about Rockhold dropping down to 185 now with the lack of IVs when they take away your IV? That starts in October, right?
02:15:22.000
Because Joe Silva was trying to tell me that there's doctors that say it's actually more effective to orally rehydrate.
02:15:31.000
I don't think that's true, Joe, because in hospitals, they rehydrate you with IVs, right?
02:15:38.000
They have to regulate and ensure that you get the right amount of fluid at the right time, and maybe there's a method to rehydrating orally.
02:15:45.000
Well, a lot of time when you just drink, obviously...
02:15:48.000
But when you drink just water to rehydrate, it strips the electrolytes and it actually doesn't rehydrate you.
02:15:53.000
If you use the IV, it goes straight to the bloodstream to rejuvenate those muscles.
02:15:58.000
But I'm obviously not medically qualified to talk about it.
02:16:01.000
But one thing that Jeff Nowitzki told me is that they do it because people can use IVs to mask steroids.
02:16:08.000
Jeff Nowitzki is the guy that busted Lance Armstrong.
02:16:15.000
So Joe Silva, the guy who works for the UFC, said IVs are bad.
02:16:36.000
I had a really good conversation with him, and he's doing the podcast soon.
02:16:40.000
Because I need to ask him a million questions about how these guys do things and how the cyclists got away with it.
02:16:50.000
We were talking about the Tour de France and how this guy who is at the leader, he goes, he's got to be doing something.
02:16:55.000
He's breaking all the records that the juicers were making.
02:16:58.000
He's like, this guy is setting new record times, and somehow or another he's testing clean.
02:17:03.000
And he said, you know, who knows what they're doing.
02:17:05.000
But the thing is, they have steroids that they're developing testosterone that's not based on plants.
02:17:11.000
Okay, because testosterone now, somehow or another they grow it with yams?
02:17:16.000
And there's somehow or another, they can test and they can find that it's non-endogenous, that it's exogenous, I guess that's the word.
02:17:26.000
So they're figuring out a way to get testosterone from animals.
02:17:29.000
They're getting animal testosterone, they're injecting it in people.
02:17:34.000
It's bio-identical and they can't figure out how to test it.
02:17:36.000
So if guys are doing that, then it doesn't even look like they're on testosterone.
02:17:44.000
Telling me crazy shit about gene doping, about the next level.
02:17:48.000
You know, I talked about this with Rhonda Patrick on the podcast recently.
02:17:51.000
The next level, by the way, you guys have to have her on.
02:17:58.000
For the fighter and the kid, ask her to just study steroids and what steroids you could hide and what steroids would do what and why you would take certain things and what the benefits of it.
02:18:07.000
She'll look through the research on it and come on your show and blow your fucking mind.
02:18:15.000
Yeah, when I get her on the podcast, I just wind her up.
02:18:21.000
She was talking about cryotherapy and the positive results of sauna and that sauna people had 40% less mortality across the board.
02:18:30.000
40% reduction in mortality, whether it's cancer, drugs, heart attacks.
02:18:41.000
There's something about heating your body up to 170 degrees.
02:18:44.000
You put it in that 170 degree environment for as long as you can take it.
02:18:50.000
She went into this big thing about heat shock proteins that are only created heat shock proteins and from cryotherapy very similar cold shock proteins.
02:18:58.000
Dude, you gotta listen to the podcast, because it's literally, it's not even me.
02:19:01.000
I would lob a ball at her, and then I'd sit back for 20 minutes while she just goes off.
02:19:07.000
And you gotta take notes, you gotta write shit down.
02:19:10.000
So getting your body at a certain temperature...
02:19:15.000
That compensatory response is called either heat shock proteins or cold shock proteins.
02:19:20.000
And neoprenephrine, which is something that has an effect on mood.
02:19:41.000
I think Johnson definitely won that fight, by the way.
02:19:49.000
I felt like Darius was actually connecting more.
02:20:00.000
I saw a rumor that it may be December 5th, but not officially yet.
02:20:05.000
Because they're trying to do a big one December 5th.
02:20:07.000
That's what Knucklehead shouldn't have kept their mouth shut about the UFC calling her out.
02:20:15.000
If you can make 135 in Dallas, December 5th, let's do this.
02:20:18.000
But she's going to have to get on the scale before they ever make a deal.
02:20:22.000
She's going to have to make that wait before Ronda's doing movies and shit, so it has to work for Ronda's schedule.
02:20:30.000
Sounds like Rocky II. This is what they're trying to do.
02:20:32.000
December 5th, they're trying to do a gigantic arena in Dallas.
02:20:38.000
And if they do Cowboy Stadium, it is going to be the motherfucker of all motherfucker cards, dude.
02:20:50.000
Verdum, and that's also on the card, are you kidding me?
02:20:56.000
Overeem will be versus Dos Santos the next time they fight.
02:21:00.000
You think they'll ever do a Super Bowl card like that?
02:21:15.000
Well, they're apparently planning UFC 200 for next July.
02:21:31.000
So they're already showing these teaser trailers for UFC 200, which is next July.
02:21:51.000
Dude, how about they're going to do Robbie Lawler versus Carlos Condit?
02:22:13.000
Max Holloway impressed the fuck out of me versus Cubs.
02:22:23.000
Well, I didn't know if you had to go to a UFC studio or what.
02:22:35.000
I did one for them for the top five greatest fights of all time, and I went to Unbreakable Gym.
02:22:54.000
That sounds like a good day to do a fucking fight companion.
02:23:20.000
It's going to be like Fight Companion is going to be more fun than actually being there at the fights.
02:23:25.000
Dude, when I text you guys, especially when I text you, I'm like, bro, Fight Companion for this?
02:23:32.000
When you said the other day, and I said, fuck yeah, and you said, fuck yeah.
02:23:39.000
Eddie texted me, fight companion, I go, fuck yeah.
02:23:43.000
And then Callan texts me, we're all texting each other.
02:23:50.000
When we did the companion without you, it felt weird, man.
02:23:53.000
Well, how about Bobby Lee's girlfriend stole the show?
02:23:56.000
She dropped some knowledge and she was hot as shit.
02:24:03.000
Oh, by the way, if you tell me Bobby, she was on the Filipino national swimming team.
02:24:10.000
If you have a woman as dominant as Ronda, a man, there's going to have to be some sort of an odd balance.
02:24:17.000
If you have a man as submissive and small as Bobby Lee, you're going to have to have a woman that takes up the slack.
02:24:37.000
She's so rich, she's going to have some dude artificially created.
02:24:40.000
But you were one of the ones that said that Todd Duffy's insanely physically talented, right?
02:24:51.000
He's lost a few times by knockout, and that's not even mental.
02:24:56.000
But if you see him move, he's got an extremely impressive way of movement.
02:25:03.000
This is hard to describe, but when you see guys fight so many times, you see like thousands and thousands of fights up close, one of the things you notice is if someone's sloppy in their movement, if they're sloppy in their movement, that they're probably sloppy in their thinking, and they're probably sloppy somehow in their preparation,
02:25:21.000
and it might just be a little bit, but that little bit might be they get, they pull back, and then they relax, and then they get back up, and then The way they set up.
02:25:29.000
Whereas some guys have this super efficient movement, like Anderson.
02:25:34.000
Anderson in his prime had this super efficient movement.
02:25:40.000
So when Anderson moved in on you, and when he uncorked shit on you, it was just, shoom!
02:25:45.000
It was just coming in out of nowhere, which was half the magic of what he did.
02:25:48.000
There was fractions and milliseconds of things that were missing in his movement that were available in other people's things.
02:25:56.000
And he would do shit like he was setting you up for stuff and you didn't know.
02:26:08.000
And next thing you know, it's the ball of the foot to your chin.
02:26:16.000
Unless you have this very, very, like, miserly approach to movement.
02:26:35.000
Like, when you see her moving in, everything is just locked into position.
02:26:38.000
And when the techniques come off, it's like, yeah!
02:26:48.000
The mental game's not there for him because when I saw him fight Frank Mare, I'm like, what the fuck are you doing?
02:26:53.000
Why are you running with your chin down throwing bombs?
02:27:01.000
I'm telling you, man, in the gym, and he went to AKA, and I asked Daniel Cormier, I'm like, how good's Todd Duffy?
02:27:11.000
But for whatever reason, it's just not translating.
02:27:13.000
And this is a good way to tell if a guy's mentally strong.
02:27:16.000
And I'm not saying Todd's not, but there's an issue.
02:27:18.000
Look at the guys he's beat, and then look when he fights someone who doesn't back down, who's not scared of your body, who's not scared of your previous records.
02:27:29.000
I'm not going to get knocked down by a single punch.
02:27:34.000
In his defense, he's had a long time off the UFC. He went through a lot of health issues.
02:27:41.000
And I think he doesn't have a lot of recent experience.
02:27:44.000
I mean, he's got that one Anthony Hamilton fight where he knocked him out.
02:27:49.000
And how many other fights has he had since he's been back?
02:28:00.000
But think about, you look at the guy he's beat, he really hasn't beat any big names.
02:28:06.000
Right, but he hasn't fought any big names either.
02:28:08.000
He's only fought Alistair when Alistair was on Moon Juice.
02:28:18.000
They were pulling lava out of the fucking core of the moon.
02:28:23.000
And stuffing it right into his fucking muscle tissue.
02:28:36.000
There's a video of you looking at him as he's weighing in, and you're just like, huh?
02:28:42.000
He weighed 265. That was before all they did was urine tests back then.
02:28:46.000
That's the only fight I've ever seen where when he weighed in, I thought, we're all fucked.
02:28:54.000
If you gave Alistair Overeem the whole medicine cabinet and said, have at it, sir.
02:29:01.000
You would have the most terrifying guy of all time.
02:29:05.000
Yeah, at his best when he was whatever he was on.
02:29:09.000
We know he got caught, but who knows if that was one time.
02:29:16.000
But my point being, when he was that guy, when he fought in K-1 like that, when he was just jacked to the fucking tits.
02:29:30.000
I think that him at that level, when he's at that level, would be super hard to beat.
02:29:35.000
But it's like when you get used to competing like that, and you get used to being at that level, and then you're no longer anymore, then the mental game kicks in.
02:29:56.000
I don't know why he didn't say it at 205, but I remember watching...
02:29:59.000
The crazy thing is, he said it was from horse meat.
02:30:07.000
And then you think, like, maybe it is horse meat.
02:30:15.000
See, that's a guy who's just flaccid and flexing.
02:30:20.000
Like, if you see a photo of someone and they look giant, they might have just lift weights and their arms literally get, like, twice as big.
02:30:28.000
He's just relaxing in his underwear on a scale in front of millions.
02:30:38.000
The guy had 12 inches of his colon removed, and then he fought a year later.
02:30:44.000
We got 500. Man, you think he's going to lose in his hometown?
02:30:48.000
I think OSB's going to win, but just for the fun of this show, I got Glover taken.
02:31:13.000
When Ovensen Pru knocked out Pat Cummins, he woke my eyes up.
02:31:27.000
And when he knocked out Shogun with that beautiful step-aside left hook...
02:31:35.000
He's got all these victories by knockout, and he's like, the twister.
02:31:42.000
I think he's the only guy or the second guy in history in MMA. He got someone in the truck and got him in a calf crank.
02:31:54.000
That would make you like, wouldn't that create some texture?
02:31:59.000
Wouldn't that make it, like, difficult, like, for you to slip out of stuff?
02:32:02.000
Like, if you decide, if someone was so gangster, they decided to scar all their arms, from their wrists all the way up to the top of their shoulder, so they have a more textured skin, so guys couldn't get out of chokes.
02:32:17.000
If someone found out that there was a way of creating scarification that made a textured surface, and scars don't sweat the same way regular skin sweats.
02:32:30.000
If somebody did that, a long process, and created a super textured skin all over their arm.
02:32:39.000
There's actually a tribe in Africa that does that.
02:32:43.000
In Africa, they scar their backs, and sometimes they die and go into shock and all that, but they'll scar their entire back.
02:32:59.000
And, dude, when I trained with Glover, his wrestling and grappling, he hasn't shown it much, but he's a fucking nightmare.
02:33:08.000
When he got Kyle Kingsborough in the ground, you could see, like, ooh, that's a heavy top game.
02:33:17.000
Right, but also you've got to think those six years he was out of the UFC were six years of his prime.
02:33:22.000
When he was Chuck Liddell's main training partner, everybody was high on him.
02:33:35.000
He knocked out Sokiju in the WEC? Or was it WEC? Or Palace?
02:33:42.000
It was WEC. And that was the first time I saw Glover fight.
02:33:48.000
There's so much hype on him from everyone, though.
02:34:00.000
The reality is if he's not doing anything, if you get to this stage in boxing, if you get to this stage like back in the day when no one was taking anything, right?
02:34:12.000
What guy got to be like 36, it's the fucking end of the road.
02:34:38.000
If you could do it on this podcast, you could do it on stage.
02:34:44.000
I just want to do it and hang out with you guys at night.
02:34:50.000
I don't know why you don't start writing and just...
02:34:51.000
We'll go over some stuff and just get up and have fun with us.
02:34:56.000
You go on the road with Brian and Brian brings you up and you do like five minutes.
02:35:03.000
And even if it The bombs, you laugh, and then you bring him back, and then, you know, everything's groovy.
02:35:14.000
That's like saying I don't want to try Jiu-Jitsu because I don't want to disrespect Jiu-Jitsu.
02:35:19.000
And you'll be funny because you're funny already.
02:35:24.000
Right now, there's keyboard warriors all across America going, You guys are fucking ridiculous!
02:35:48.000
Goddamn, the biggest thing both of you guys do now.
02:35:54.000
By the way, you guys have a giant, crazy live show if you did that.
02:36:08.000
Oh, I'm going to be at the Cot Theater September 4th in Vegas with Ian Edwards and Greg Fitzsimmons.
02:36:17.000
And then, of course, I went, you ever seen his dick?
02:36:34.000
Yeah, if that was on Ben Rothwell, it wouldn't look so big.
02:36:48.000
I was so cocky, I thought I was going to smoke him.
02:37:01.000
The last words before I went in the cage, my coaches know me.
02:37:04.000
They go, listen, you have better cardio, better technique.
02:37:24.000
I think it's crazy that Bruce Buffer does all this amazing, passionate shit and they never show it on TV. I love watching it.
02:37:37.000
Bruce Buffer might be one of my favorite Americans.
02:37:48.000
People don't know this, but Bruce Buffer's going off right now.
02:38:15.000
They're going to do the best ref in the game right there.
02:38:28.000
I wonder why Bruce doesn't just give Big John the mic.
02:38:41.000
If you're going to do them like that, they have this name.
02:38:43.000
But to make it different, why not have the trunks yellow and green and black and then have OSP's USA colors?
02:38:59.000
As the rounds go on, it gets easier and easier.
02:39:04.000
Glover just took him right down, right in the half card.
02:39:28.000
No, but he, look, OSP got out of there, man, for sure.
02:39:31.000
It's OSP's hips, man, or a beast from football.
02:39:47.000
Especially when you're trying to grind a guy out.
02:39:58.000
There's obviously levels of getting hit by nuts.
02:41:10.000
I hear you, dude, but you gotta be impressed with Glover here, no?
02:41:23.000
It did, but the one before is what started off that combination that had Glover hurt.
02:42:00.000
Ovens landed some fucking hard shots while he was trying to take him down earlier.
02:42:06.000
And if you separate that left kick to the body and to the head...
02:42:15.000
Because all Glover does is he's like a really good Rampage who can grapple is what I think.
02:42:21.000
Well, it's also Ovens has those two big knockouts over Shogun and Cummins.
02:42:32.000
But look at Ovens looking for the fucking Paul Harris.
02:42:34.000
That's what we're going to call it from now on.
02:43:25.000
I jump in the top half, go lock down and let the guy get on top of me and I finish from my back.
02:43:32.000
I jump in the top half, they take it, I lock down their legs in advance, let them roll on top of me and it's easier from the back with the lockdown.
02:43:39.000
So this position right here, even Vaughn Flew, Vaughn Flew is easier from the lockdown?
02:43:59.000
The way he moves, he's got so much fucking horsepower behind him.
02:44:08.000
Maybe after she goes to Brazil for one of them surgeries.
02:44:44.000
Well, the idea is to keep it as close as possible because it's the same writers.
02:44:50.000
It's something super close like Run of the Dead or Jog of the Dead.
02:44:53.000
It's smart, man, because everybody who loves that show can't get enough of it.
02:45:07.000
The new one takes place here in LA. Well, the old one took place in Atlanta.
02:45:19.000
But there would be a lot more if it's in Atlanta.
02:45:37.000
And he's another guy that just gets more and more efficient.
02:45:45.000
Glover's more technical when he throws real short shots.
02:45:49.000
You got a good point, but look, Vince, same group.
02:45:59.000
OSP's never been in dangerous rounds, like championship rounds.
02:46:03.000
Well, Glover's starting to slow down, or excuse me, OSP's starting to slow down a little bit here, and we're at four minutes.
02:46:14.000
He's got to be aware of what he's doing, because he's exploding.
02:46:17.000
He's not as mechanically efficient as Glover is.
02:46:23.000
Glover's just wasting less time movement, but the movement that OSP does has so much pop behind it.
02:46:29.000
You can only do that for so long, though, no matter how athletic you are.
02:47:15.000
You chew your own foot off, but you still got your life.
02:47:18.000
Well, you don't want to get in a cardio fight with OSP. He's not going to win that one.
02:47:28.000
Well, would if OSP just can kind of chillax down here and take a little breaky-poo and just defend himself well?
02:48:01.000
How about you bet whether or not OSP makes it past five?
02:48:17.000
Hey, by the way, I say he doesn't last until round three.
02:48:21.000
And we could annul that last bet and go back to the original one if I feel, oh, he's coming back.
02:48:34.000
Because if he starts coming back, I'll go, we annul this shit.
02:48:51.000
Who wants to give me a good bet that it goes the full five?
02:49:09.000
Damn, he's going for an electric chair right now.
02:49:14.000
I'll bet you 10 to win 100. I'm not taking the money anyway.
02:49:31.000
This is the Glover that was making his run at the title.
02:49:34.000
People slept on him a little bit in this fight.
02:49:39.000
So, Ovin St. Pru's the underdog in this fight, correct?
02:49:46.000
I would've thought they'd be even money, quite honestly.
02:50:01.000
He said in the Phil Davis fight in Brazil, he just didn't cut the weight right and he was exhausted.
02:50:05.000
So he just got fucking grappled for five rounds.
02:50:08.000
Was also a lot of people felt like, you know, he didn't go to American Top Team for that fight.
02:50:11.000
He stayed in Connecticut and trained in his garage.
02:50:14.000
He did his camp in Connecticut this time too, I thought.
02:50:48.000
When you lose faith, you're looking at my eyes, and I give it back to you.
02:50:53.000
But I feel now he's coming back, and he's going to take this, and you're going to owe me five.
02:51:00.000
Is there any way we can get more Ronda Rousey ads?
02:51:38.000
I would have sex with her a lot and I'd break her walls down and I'd be super nice to her and make a laugh.
02:51:45.000
This left kick of St. Bruce and surprise her with my piece.
02:51:52.000
By the way, Oven St. Pru might just pull this out.
02:51:57.000
If he gets taken down, he proves he's already proven that he can come back from being exhausted.
02:52:14.000
Glover's footwork and his feints, he's staying just far enough that he knows what Ovens can do right now.
02:52:21.000
He knows the amount of spring he's got left in his step.
02:52:27.000
He's going to pop his hips to lift him up or trap his...
02:52:30.000
He's going to scoop him right in the fucking air.
02:52:41.000
It doesn't mean that he's going to be on the ground for four minutes.
02:52:59.000
I think he's not as mechanically efficient as he can be in the future because he explodes so much in everything.
02:53:09.000
He should talk to some boxers and run for a long time.
02:53:11.000
Yeah, maybe that would help for sure, but it's also something that he does to people they don't expect.
02:53:15.000
The amount of explosion that he jumps into stuff.
02:53:21.000
And then when you fight a vet, a true vet who has seen that, you don't think Glover's seen an explosive guy before?
02:53:27.000
He's got to be able to do both and got to know when to do each one.
02:53:33.000
But I think right now, he's not quite as technically proficient as a guy like Glover, where Glover throws short combinations and they're smooth and efficient.
02:53:43.000
I think Ovens hasn't reached that level yet, but Ovens can hit fucking hard.
02:54:03.000
I earn my money by saying dick jokes on The Fire and the Kid.
02:54:06.000
Once he got on top of Kyle Kingsborough, I could really see that mount.
02:54:10.000
I was like, ooh, that's a scary-ass fucking mount.
02:54:15.000
You know, the other thing about OSP, he's super strong.
02:54:17.000
The other thing about OSP, he doesn't train at a high-level camp.
02:54:24.000
He doesn't have, like, a lot of high-class training partners.
02:54:51.000
Hey, respect to OSP. He was thinking about tapping and decided not to tap.
02:55:05.000
What a crazy moment that is when a fighter decides not to tap.
02:55:12.000
You think you're like, you know, I'm gonna f- light down.
02:55:28.000
And then watch when he cinches it up onto the bicep.
02:55:37.000
And that's where a guy like McCarthy is so important.
02:56:12.000
If you're listening, I got a submission-only jiu-jitsu tournament going on next Saturday.
02:56:17.000
It's going to be on BudoVideos.com Saturday night.
02:56:22.000
You can go to YouTube and search EBI4 Countdown Show on YouTube, and then that'll explain what it's all about.
02:56:57.000
And when are you going to bring back Eddie Bravo Radio?
02:57:15.000
We love doing these things, and we appreciate all the positive energy that we get for you guys.
02:57:20.000
We get super psyched when you guys get psyched that we do these.
02:57:24.000
These are so much fun, because we are 100% ourselves on these things, and get to fuck off and have fun.
02:57:31.000
It's a very unusual thing to be able to do, so I appreciate the fuck out of you guys.
02:57:46.000
That's, I think, one of the most important things in life is having cool friends.
02:57:49.000
That's why I drove to the comedy store yesterday.
02:57:56.000
I got out and we hang out for two hours just talking.
02:57:59.000
They always say the coolest shit is the shit you don't expect, the shit you didn't plan for.
02:58:03.000
And, like, this crew, we didn't plan this shit.
02:58:10.000
And on that note, ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much.
