00:00:06.000
If you've never listened to one before, we try to follow along with the fights, but you never know where it's gonna go.
00:00:12.000
Our captain of the ship, Joe Rogan, is in Vegas at UFC 189. Possibly the biggest UFC ever, according to Joe, especially.
00:00:21.000
I'm tired of talking about UFC 100. Yeah, sorry, man.
00:00:24.000
We're 89 UFCs away from that, so we've moved on.
00:00:35.000
What's your nickname if you're a fighter, Bobby?
00:00:50.000
Okay, but that doesn't sound very menacing if you were to...
00:00:56.000
I don't know, because I'm not afraid of a scallop.
00:00:59.000
SSC, SSC. Yeah, but what would be your technique?
00:01:02.000
Would you just be so amorphous that when you got hit...
00:01:05.000
No, I go on my back, and then I bend over, and then they just fuck me from behind.
00:01:14.000
Although, a lot of times, guys, they sleep after they are done.
00:01:18.000
Well, I've got to get a different instructor, then, because that was what the movie taught me.
00:01:33.000
No, the way you said it, you go, Now, I would assume in this room, the person who knows probably the second most about the UFC is your girlfriend, Bobby?
00:01:45.000
I'm just going to chime in, you know, here and there.
00:01:47.000
Well, it's always nice to have a nice voice on the mic.
00:01:51.000
And Kalilah, your job is also, besides me, I mean, obviously I'm a good looking man.
00:01:57.000
Yeah, I want to talk about who you think is the sexiest fighter in this whole group as you watch the fights.
00:02:04.000
But see, my taste in men is a little bit weird.
00:02:20.000
No, no, no, I think you're a good-looking dude.
00:02:31.000
You pulled an attractive lady, so you're doing something, right?
00:02:33.000
Well, you know, she's very attractive, and she's a good spirit, and she has a great heart.
00:02:37.000
And also, we met on Tinder, and I wanted to have...
00:02:41.000
Yeah, I wanted to have sexual intercourse with her first, but then I realized that I loved her, so then we got into a relationship.
00:02:48.000
There's a point of pride there that we met on Tinder, and I think it cheapens the entire relationship.
00:03:04.000
You're wearing a bandana and it makes me furious, but I also like it.
00:03:17.000
You sound like you suddenly got a Korean accent for a second.
00:03:25.000
Brian, you know your boy Matt Brown won tonight.
00:03:28.000
Supposed to be fight of the night against the Dirty Bird.
00:03:37.000
Yeah, so during the fight campaigns, I feel like reaching across this and strangling you.
00:03:40.000
During the fight campaigns, it's only the pay-per-view percent.
00:03:56.000
There's like, I think, a minute or 30 seconds left, right, Jamie?
00:04:03.000
I don't think Tim Means was ranked, but still, matchup-wise.
00:04:09.000
Did you see that pre-fight thing where they were on stage together and then like the other guy?
00:04:19.000
But you know how, will you get into somebody's mindset if you are like crazy up there?
00:04:27.000
Because you see the guy who put his hand on Robbie Lawler's face like that.
00:04:34.000
And so everybody there knows, everybody there knows their, I mean, No one's worried about anything.
00:04:42.000
You just want to weigh and get out of there because you know you're one day close to the fight.
00:04:47.000
That's when you're like, oh, there's no turn back now.
00:04:51.000
I said to Brennan he was going to fight Andre Arlowski.
00:05:19.000
I used to get really nervous before meets and stuff.
00:05:24.000
I'm sure you got nervous before you do stand-up.
00:05:27.000
Yeah, but the wrestling was still more nerve-wracking for me.
00:05:30.000
When I was a kid, I didn't know how to deal with that kind of pressure, really.
00:05:35.000
I'll tell you what I am digging is the new layout of the UFC. The design.
00:05:47.000
Just to let everyone know, this is the first night that the guys are wearing the Reebok Kits, as they call them.
00:05:55.000
The fighters have to wear these designated Reebok kits.
00:06:08.000
So now the fighters look cleaner, but the Octagon's dirtier.
00:06:15.000
There's literally ads everywhere, but then the fighters are super clean.
00:06:18.000
So the only issue I have with that, I love the whole look of the UFC. I'm actually not even mad at the kits because it's super clean looking.
00:06:26.000
And then when you have all those sponsors, no one's seen any of that money.
00:06:32.000
But for the guys with the talent inside the octagon, they're not seeing any of that.
00:06:44.000
I thought people were going to think I was going to hate on it.
00:07:03.000
He came to my show in Florida with Thiago Alves and Matt Brown and Mike Brown.
00:07:11.000
I was loving it because he's not a big guy, but he dresses very well.
00:07:29.000
And then when we landed in New York, I asked him for a hug and he hugged me.
00:07:34.000
I didn't say anything the whole flight because I was so intimidated, you know?
00:07:37.000
If it was Hickson, I would have not said anything at all.
00:07:51.000
I didn't know what to say, so I go, Hickson, hi.
00:08:08.000
I don't know exactly the relationship with everyone.
00:08:29.000
Who do you guys think the best looking guy in UFC is?
00:08:31.000
Who's the best looking guy in UFC? Luke Rockhold, Brandon Chobbs up there.
00:09:01.000
If you had a mustache, you'd look like one of those 1920s strongmen.
00:09:16.000
I want to say that unless you're Chuck Liddell, you're not allowed to have a mohawk.
00:09:28.000
I'll tell you what, as far as marketing goes, not feeling that haircut, Roy.
00:09:41.000
He's a little introverted, but he speaks well, man.
00:09:58.000
I'll tell you what, though, this little dude can punch!
00:10:04.000
Well, he started, I guess, that was his first discipline.
00:10:27.000
It reminds me of communism, the colors and stuff, and the kits.
00:10:31.000
Well, in a way, you're not far off the mark, because if you have to wear something, the fighters no longer can be sponsored, right?
00:10:36.000
So they can't wear sponsors, and their money isn't as...
00:10:42.000
How about that Cutman utility vest those guys have on?
00:10:49.000
Because they used to have their own stuff, right?
00:10:55.000
Stitch might be more famous than a lot of fighters.
00:11:14.000
I don't know his real first name, but he's like the nicest guy ever.
00:11:20.000
Like, there's some guys who schedule their fights around so Stitch can come.
00:11:24.000
Now, you walk out here, your emotions are all over the place, right?
00:11:29.000
No, here you're good, because here you're good, you touch gloves, and it's just, it's go time.
00:11:36.000
For me, I just need to get like three minutes past the first round, and I'm good.
00:11:41.000
But trouble before then, because you're so nervous, you know?
00:11:46.000
You can see the pros kind of chill out, they calm down, and they feel it out a little bit.
00:11:57.000
But do you know where your mom and your girlfriend and stuff are when you're in the ring or no?
00:12:12.000
I would be in my head like, Mom's on the third row.
00:12:18.000
And I would imagine the bulk of the nerves is that you just want to perform well.
00:12:28.000
But do you know you're losing when you're losing?
00:12:34.000
If I didn't get stopped, obviously, but if it goes past the first round, I always thought I was winning.
00:12:39.000
Erlowski, I thought no question I won that fight.
00:12:43.000
Even Rogan came in and was like, I think you got it.
00:12:45.000
And then when it went the other way, everyone was like, what?
00:13:06.000
I bet you your coaches are more nervous at this point.
00:13:28.000
He's so intense in the back when he comes back.
00:13:32.000
I think Pickett's the biggest underdog on the main card.
00:13:37.000
I think he's plus 550. The caddy's fighting this Brazilian Almeida's 19-0, man.
00:13:50.000
Yeah, minus 660. I mean, what's the point of even betting?
00:14:18.000
I would not want to be an odds maker in Vegas that does fighting odds.
00:14:34.000
The thing about Chad is he'll take some time off.
00:14:37.000
He's known to take time off and then go into camp...
00:14:41.000
He's known as a guy that hunts and takes some time off.
00:14:44.000
So was he in camp, or did he get the call and he's playing grab ass with warthogs and wherever, and it was like, shit, I better get in there.
00:14:52.000
So the people who set the odds are privy to that type of information?
00:14:59.000
I'm very nervous about the Conor McGregor fight.
00:15:02.000
But what makes me nervous about the Conor fight, my heart, I want Conor to win.
00:15:07.000
He's the best thing to happen in the UFC in a long time since Brock Lesnar.
00:15:21.000
He was wearing sunglasses throughout the whole thing, and I was wondering why, and then I saw how...
00:15:30.000
When you take him down, it gives him a chance to recover.
00:16:07.000
Believe me, I've rushed in there, Brian Callen.
00:16:11.000
Paid a deep, deep price against a guy named Ben Rothwell.
00:16:23.000
So Pickett's getting momentum here, and it's weird.
00:16:29.000
Even if you're tired and you rock the guy, you're like, damn.
00:16:36.000
I'm loving the way Pickett, like his angles and stuff.
00:17:02.000
For one of the biggest UFC fights of all time, cards of all time, that's exactly how you want to start this thing off.
00:17:10.000
There's a reason these boys kicked this fight off, or card off.
00:17:18.000
I'll tell you what, my man Alameda came back here.
00:17:36.000
You see what I'm saying about the octagon though?
00:17:38.000
So the Octagon's NASCAR, but the fighters are clean now.
00:17:45.000
By the way, they're wearing the same shorts, kind of, right?
00:17:48.000
I mean, it's hard to say, well, one guy in the white...
00:17:53.000
I think one guy should be in all red, and one guy should be in all blue or all black.
00:18:02.000
So we have the shorts red and blue to distinct between the two.
00:18:20.000
Like, he's standing there and able to see the...
00:18:22.000
My boy Almeida is freaking winning the 10. He's throwing...
00:19:00.000
You know, I've been really outspoken how I don't like Reebok, but I like the clean look.
00:19:12.000
I like the uniform, but what I think we should have done is said, alright, Reebok's going to supply you guys with all this gear.
00:19:19.000
You can have any other sponsors, just no apparel sponsors.
00:19:24.000
So now the fighters look basic, but the octagon looks like a fucking taxi cab with those...
00:19:31.000
Looks like a Jackson Pollock painting, as they say.
00:19:34.000
Hey, is there any way we can get more ring girls?
00:20:21.000
That's a perfect example of what you just said.
00:20:23.000
First round, sort of a little bit tentative, and then he just picked it up halfway through.
00:20:28.000
That's what's heartbreaking about this sport, man.
00:20:31.000
Does such a good job and gets caught with a knee.
00:20:33.000
At this level, even at this weight, there's just no room for error, man.
00:20:39.000
I'm not saying Pigott took time off, but there's no gap for error.
00:20:42.000
Every other sport, you can kind of get away with it.
00:20:52.000
You have Eve Levine, you're going to get your ass, whoops, son, down at the bottom there.
00:21:02.000
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not good for his head.
00:21:09.000
If Eve Levine comes in the bag and he's like, I'm going to be your referee tonight, I go, oh, shit.
00:21:25.000
There's not too much controversy with McCarthy.
00:21:46.000
I don't even know what that word means, but let me tell you this right now.
00:21:48.000
The guy got up, and he deserves two more minutes.
00:21:54.000
So boxing, you get dropped like that, a ref comes up and goes, one, two, so you can kind of gather your shit and get back together.
00:22:03.000
Just saying the ratings would go up a little bit more if he got two more minutes.
00:22:11.000
So what you're saying is that he got up because of gut instinct, like just his body is behaving.
00:22:15.000
When you saw him get caught, he got knocked out on his feet, he landed on the ground, he was out, and then he came to.
00:22:20.000
And then he came to, but it's very dangerous to let a fight go after that.
00:22:30.000
Now, is there any way we could spray paint some more sponsors?
00:22:39.000
It would probably cost them millions just to rent that space.
00:22:44.000
They can do it on my chest if they want for that kind of money.
00:22:46.000
Is this a bad deal for fighters, then, that they're made to wear all Reebok in terms of just sponsorship?
00:22:58.000
Because typically, if you become a fighter who has got a following like Brendan, or if you're a fighter that has...
00:23:07.000
Yeah, you can wear, you can make cut deals with various companies and say, give me 40 grand and I'll wear this t-shirt.
00:23:16.000
But Brian, can they wear their own sponsorship during interviews?
00:23:31.000
If you want to be a fighter, if you want to make a lot of money, you probably don't want to be an MMA fighter.
00:23:37.000
I mean, if you're the exception like Brandon, okay.
00:23:41.000
Like the U.S. female World Cup soccer team, right?
00:23:48.000
But the reason why, what's that chick's name, the hot one?
00:23:52.000
Alex Morgan makes $300,000, $400,000, $500,000 because of sponsorship, endorsements.
00:23:57.000
But she's not wearing those endorsements on the soccer field.
00:24:00.000
She's getting it from Gatorade, Nike, all that stuff.
00:24:14.000
Because that 70s show, he's killing it on that 70s show, right?
00:24:23.000
Well, because his show got syndicated, so he's just getting boatloads of money.
00:24:28.000
Because your show gets syndicated, you're boned.
00:24:32.000
Bobby, how much do you think guys like that make now, though?
00:24:38.000
He could probably make a couple hundred thousand, maybe.
00:24:49.000
Yeah, but he's on Two and a Half Men, though, right?
00:25:02.000
Like Eric Stonestreet is making a shitload of money.
00:25:22.000
It's hard for me to watch her get punched in the face.
00:25:33.000
Five fights in the UFC, and he's the biggest star.
00:25:40.000
What's going on in his head right now, Brennan?
00:25:51.000
I think he's just excited to get in there, you know?
00:26:11.000
I think Ronda's the most dominant Female mixed martial arts athlete, but I think Serena Williams is the most dominant female athlete.
00:26:25.000
She won today, and think about the competition she's facing.
00:26:33.000
I think her record this year is something like 45-1.
00:26:36.000
And the thing is, she's competing all the time, nonstop.
00:26:56.000
So the competition is way higher than women's MMA. I'm not hating on Rhonda.
00:27:08.000
So when Sports Illustrated said Ronda Rousey, best, most dominant female athlete of all time, I disagree.
00:27:19.000
I did a sketch with Serena Williams, and she's very nice, but she smelled funny.
00:27:31.000
No, we did a sketch where we played tennis, right?
00:27:34.000
And then I took a photo with her, and she smelled funny.
00:28:15.000
I was looking at her ass and her legs and her arms.
00:28:17.000
I was like, well, I'm way too light in the ass.
00:28:23.000
It was like the Miami Open or something like that.
00:28:25.000
And I knew her agent and they brought me in the back while she was warming up.
00:28:37.000
She'll toss me around like a baton, like a circus baton.
00:28:43.000
Her thigh, one thigh alone is the size of your waist.
00:28:49.000
She is so just beautifully muscular on everything.
00:29:08.000
Sir, you could rest all your books on that ass.
00:29:12.000
She's too much for me, which I've never said that before in my life, but she's too much, sir.
00:29:18.000
She dated LeVon Arrington for a couple of minutes.
00:29:32.000
He's probably whispering in the air some fucking poems and shit.
00:29:44.000
So, at Wish Nightclub in Denver, Colorado, the security team was myself, Brandon Thatch, and Cody Donovan.
00:29:56.000
Brandon Thatch's dad is known freaking around Denver.
00:30:01.000
There's pressure on Brandon growing up because his dad, Clarence Thatch, was such a badass in Denver.
00:30:12.000
He's been the guy in the gym who was never super dedicated, but he was the most talented by far.
00:30:17.000
And I'd always say, if that kid ever got his shit together, he's going to be champion one day.
00:30:30.000
God, I can't remember the last time I've seen him.
00:30:36.000
St. Pierre used to fly Thatch up when he was getting ready for Condit.
00:30:44.000
If he can get comfortable, it's second to none.
00:30:48.000
If you're talking about the freaking CEO of Black Belts and Chicken Heads.
00:31:08.000
Before fights in Denver, this fool would turn on like nunchucks with flames.
00:31:28.000
He's the guy who looks like a fire hydrant with ears.
00:31:33.000
He was the head coach for GSP for wrestling, myself, Shane Carlin, Nate Mark Hart.
00:31:39.000
You're talking about the cream of the crop, at least they're bowling, man.
00:31:47.000
And then Elliot Marshall, he runs Easton's in Denver.
00:31:51.000
He's a black belt, competing in jiu-jitsu forever, competing in the UFC. And then to the left is Christian Allen, who is Thatch's striking coach.
00:31:58.000
I'm telling you, if Thatch can get loose, you're going to see a crazy-ass knockout tonight.
00:32:17.000
If there's an Achilles heel to Brandon Thatch, you know what it is?
00:32:47.000
He's on one of the biggest UFC fight cards of the year because he breaks easy.
00:32:54.000
If Brennan's friends with somebody, he's going to defend him to the fucking death.
00:33:03.000
I'll come to Laugh Act and slap some people around.
00:33:20.000
The only time we should turn this up is when Connor walks out.
00:33:31.000
If this fight goes to the ground, I'm a little worried about it.
00:33:43.000
I don't know how one goes in there, and you're fighting a monster, and he's going to try to knee and kick and punch your head off, and there are really no gloves.
00:33:50.000
Well, the thing is, when your jiu-jitsu is as good as Gunnar Nelson, you've beat guys like Jeff Monson, you're not too concerned about, you know?
00:34:04.000
Yeah, he's never fought a guy like Thatch in the UFC, not even close.
00:34:12.000
That's a body that has never done steroids right there, ladies and gentlemen.
00:34:21.000
I wouldn't be surprised if Thatch takes him down and just makes it up.
00:35:53.000
His ex-girlfriend came out and said it was a joke.
00:35:56.000
There's actually a friend of mine dated a guy in the UFC who's black and she says he's hung like a field mouse.
00:36:15.000
Well, he's used to going with Conner, so he's going to see some kicks.
00:36:39.000
It looks like he's just rocking boxes underneath those.
00:36:50.000
I'm telling you, man, wait for that to get comfortable.
00:36:53.000
You can't base his fight skills off that Ben Henderson fight.
00:37:03.000
I tell you what you don't want to do, get in the clinch with Brandon Thatch.
00:37:09.000
Thatch and Cowboy started Muay Thai frickin' in diapers.
00:37:17.000
Hey, I want to get Cowboy to come out to the show in Denver.
00:37:41.000
Worst case scenario, full amount just blasted in the face.
00:37:51.000
And when you got Gunnar Nelson in half guard, couldn't be worse for Brandon Thatch right now.
00:38:00.000
And we're not talking about just a regular old black belt.
00:38:03.000
We're talking about a guy who's competed and won, I mean, some serious competitions in jiu-jitsu.
00:38:15.000
If someone said, hey, what's the worst case scenario for Brandon Thatch?
00:38:18.000
I'm like, well, I'd say mid to the first round.
00:38:21.000
Right now, what does Brandon Thatch do with his hands?
00:38:24.000
Well, what he can't do is grab around the body.
00:38:50.000
And also, you've got to remember, Thatch is rocked.
00:38:53.000
So this has given Thatch a little bit of opportunity to recover.
00:39:08.000
Hey, remember that time I hyped up a guy for an hour and then he got his ass whooped?
00:39:58.000
A lot of guys who don't have a big jiu-jitsu base go to all fours.
00:40:05.000
But when you have a high-level grappler, he wants you to turn that way.
00:40:08.000
Because now that he's on your back, you've got trouble.
00:40:10.000
Now, he shouldn't have let him get this either.
00:40:12.000
He should have been doing two-on-one on a glove.
00:40:14.000
He let that get around his neck and it was just all over it.
00:40:19.000
Training jiu-jitsu a ton when you get in those situations.
00:40:24.000
If you're down there going with high-level guys a lot, it's going to be second nature.
00:40:29.000
I've got to go two on one because I'm going to control two on one.
00:40:34.000
If you know you're fighting a monster like Gunnar Nelson, why are you not rolling with high-level guys all the time?
00:40:38.000
He probably is, especially if Elliot Marshall's his coach.
00:40:42.000
But if it's a seven-week camp and Gunnar Nelson's been training for how long?
00:40:55.000
Brandon has some shit to look at in the mirror, man.
00:41:06.000
Like Alistair over him, he's lost, and he'll tweet out like, ah, part of the game, and then you see him like...
00:41:10.000
You seem gentle, so you seem like you would cry.
00:41:21.000
Dude, look at that great, that was a beautiful left.
00:41:26.000
If you're in that range, why are your hands down and chin up?
00:41:30.000
You're talking about a high-level striker here.
00:41:39.000
Maybe he thought Gunnar was going to step back?
00:41:46.000
And you get in those habits when you spar sometimes, right?
00:41:52.000
Because you reset, your buddy's not going to hit you.
00:41:57.000
You don't think that's a huge motivation boost?
00:42:00.000
Your boy who you went through this entire camp with, and then he just dominated the biggest fight of his career?
00:42:10.000
Tell you what, Ioana, my favorite girl fighter.
00:42:24.000
Damn, Rafael, this onions looks just as big as...
00:42:26.000
And he fights at 55. He's definitely not as big as...
00:42:39.000
The Ryan Kelly UFC. Gunnar Nelson, aka the kid of the UFC. I might grow my beard pretty big.
00:42:45.000
No, but I'm looking at these guys and I'm feeling like I need to.
00:43:06.000
It's not because I'm athletic, it's because I'm scared.
00:43:09.000
It's constantly scared, so it sticks out like that, yeah.
00:43:11.000
It's like a porcupine trying to protect that dick.
00:43:46.000
Now see, the difference is this guy looks like he's not as disciplined with his hands.
00:44:02.000
You get docked, I think, 30% or 20% of your fight purse.
00:44:17.000
But the thing is, if there's one thing that pisses the UFC off more than having a shitty performance, it's not making weight.
00:44:27.000
Anthony Johnson, he missed weight a bunch of times.
00:44:30.000
Dude, I'm telling you, if you don't make weight, man, there's nothing that pisses Dana White and Joe Silva off more.
00:44:41.000
Is it true that Connor had to lose or had to drop like 27 pounds?
00:44:59.000
Hey, Brian, you want us to text you into the fight companion?
00:45:00.000
Sorry, but I'm just checking to make sure that I'm not getting any...
00:45:09.000
Could there be a bigger killer's role than Featherweight right now?
00:45:19.000
Granted, Conor was hurt, but he has more confidence now.
00:45:36.000
Because Travis Brown, they call him Howley, right?
00:46:07.000
And she said the reason she came out on Instagram is because she doesn't want Travis to get arrested, lose his career, or get his kids taken away from him.
00:46:15.000
She said he's a good guy, he just whoops her ass.
00:46:21.000
I mean, at least she had to get away and said...
00:46:24.000
To me, it's crazy that the people with the comments like, oh, you hoe.
00:46:31.000
You don't know what it's like to get beat up by Travis Brown.
00:46:35.000
And I didn't have the balls to show my bruises on Instagram.
00:46:41.000
I tell you what, she probably put up a better fight.
00:47:14.000
Dennis Bermuda is, yes, that beautiful brown skin.
00:47:17.000
So if you're a Robbie Lawler and Rory McDonald...
00:47:22.000
No, I'm not going to ask you that, but I'm saying that you've got to stay warm, but the problem is you can't warm up too much because you don't know...
00:47:29.000
Do they know around when they're going to fight?
00:47:33.000
If you're on the main card, you have a very good idea.
00:47:38.000
You have an idea, because especially when Burt was in the back, I don't know how it's run now.
00:47:42.000
So when Burt was in the back, you'd say, Burt, when I'm up, and he'd say, you're up around 8.30.
00:47:47.000
So you want to be ready around, you know, you start warming up around 7.45.
00:48:01.000
No, I don't want to move because I don't exert any kind of energy.
00:48:03.000
How your muscles work, you have to hit optimum contraction.
00:48:08.000
So you have to actually build your way up for it to optimally stretch or shorten.
00:48:14.000
Baby, if you ever talk to me like that again on a podcast, I will kill you, okay?
00:48:38.000
I swam for the Philippine national team before I came here, and then I swam gradually.
00:48:48.000
I guess you got yourself a new girlfriend, damn it.
00:48:58.000
Do you know who I met recently and had dinner with?
00:49:15.000
First thing I said to her husband, I said, I go...
00:49:22.000
And my buddy goes, he's been on three Olympic teams.
00:49:37.000
Brian, she's one of the fucking greatest swimmers.
00:49:57.000
Yeah, but the new age swimmers that you see now, especially Butterfly or...
00:50:00.000
Missy Franklin, Lauren Lando, trans Missy Franklin.
00:50:09.000
She was in college, and she's out now, and she's making millions of sponsors.
00:50:13.000
She was in college, I think, for a year or two at Cal.
00:50:22.000
First of all, his corner men should be a commercial on...
00:50:28.000
Although, in the very back is a good buddy, Ryan Parsons, who is Jail Sonnen's coach, Dan Henderson's, the list goes on and on.
00:50:35.000
He was the head coach in Temecio for all those guys.
00:50:41.000
He was on, I think, a six or seven fight win streak, and then he lost to Lamas, but he's a monster.
00:50:47.000
I was telling him when he had six fights, you need to start squealing like a little baby pig for a title shot.
00:50:55.000
Well, when is a guy named Donald Cerrone going to get his shot?
00:51:08.000
He tweeted out, somebody said, you get nervous.
00:51:23.000
He looks like he's having the time of his life.
00:51:26.000
They're nervous, but they're having the time of their lives.
00:51:30.000
Speaking of Southpaw, 50 Cent is going to be on the Fire and the Kid this week.
00:51:55.000
I'm singing Mother by Danzig, and I'm not ready.
00:52:05.000
Tell your children not to hear my words, what they mean, what they say, mother!
00:52:10.000
I'll give you $500 if you know whose walkout song that is.
00:52:25.000
I beat him, put on a boxing clinic, used my jab, used my reach that you always talk about.
00:52:43.000
I fought Gonzaga after he lost to Junior Dos Santos.
00:52:57.000
Actually, I want you to come, because maybe I'll have you come up there.
00:53:22.000
Big right hand and someone's bleeding and it's Jeremy Stephens.
00:53:49.000
I'm so glad I don't have to do this for a living.
00:53:52.000
I can't believe you've done this for eight years.
00:54:01.000
I do have the greatest job in the world now doing podcasting.
00:54:05.000
Did anyone see the video of Rogan that he Instagrammed out training with Mark Della Grotti hitting mitts?
00:54:40.000
Joe's been throwing those kicks since he was 14. We did taekwondo at a high level.
00:54:44.000
He's been throwing those kicks since he was 14. I would pay money to have Joe kick you in the leg.
00:55:03.000
Probably a wheel kick because I knocked a lot of guys out with it.
00:55:09.000
Look at Joe Rogan up here on the screen kicking like a...
00:55:43.000
Well, Brian said he knocked a lot of guys out with spinning kick.
00:55:47.000
Brian's in the bathroom right now, so we're just gonna...
00:55:52.000
See, I think that eye opened up from a headbutt.
00:55:56.000
Because I didn't see anything land before that.
00:55:58.000
No, he's trying to set up a head-arm choke here, trying to choke.
00:56:03.000
If it runs into the eye, I just want to stop it.
00:56:06.000
Usually, if it's under the eye, you continue no matter how big the...
00:56:21.000
A lot of times, too, if it's on Fox and there's a lot of blood, you're playing a dangerous game.
00:56:32.000
Tell you what, Dennis got rocked and really turned it on here.
00:56:50.000
I'll tell you what, Joe Silva and Dana White doing this matchmaking, they knew exactly what they were doing.
00:56:55.000
Every single fight that they put on this card brings the heat.
00:57:02.000
Especially when you got all eyes on Conor McGregor.
00:57:04.000
So people are tuning in for the first time, I think, just to see what this Conor McGregor fella's about.
00:57:09.000
So you got the Reebok kits, you got these monsters slanging the gloves.
00:57:38.000
Well, when you say beautiful body, you illustrated Big Jugs.
00:58:11.000
And in person, she is a smoke show spectacular 2000. Definitely not mad at her at all.
00:58:24.000
Well, if you don't know her name, it's hard to look up, isn't it?
00:58:32.000
I just don't like when they do dumb poses like that.
00:58:35.000
I can't stand when they stand provocative like that in the post pictures.
00:59:38.000
He's got Jesus on his side, which I didn't realize, so I'm going with Steven.
01:00:04.000
I can't remember the last time a card was this good.
01:00:06.000
I can't remember the last time I was this excited for a card.
01:00:20.000
This is the first fight I felt like the entire world is watching.
01:00:35.000
And Jeremy Stevens knows it, and he keeps kicking there.
01:00:41.000
Because it's there, because he's not moving it.
01:01:09.000
So it's looking worse than it is, but he can't put weight on it.
01:01:32.000
Hey, good luck giving Fight of the Night out performance of the night with all these fights tonight.
01:01:46.000
So you're saying Serena smells like the octagon?
01:02:01.000
Bobby, I feel like as a Korean, you can kind of say anything.
01:02:10.000
Well, I thought it was giving you a high five, and I thought you karate chop.
01:02:22.000
This is the best fight we've seen tonight, I think.
01:02:25.000
And Brennan, you're not wrong in saying this guy should be calling.
01:02:30.000
He's as good as anybody I've seen in the 45-pound division.
01:02:39.000
Dude, this weight class, man, I'm telling you, he can't sleep on anyone.
01:02:43.000
You can see he can't really push off on this takedown.
01:03:01.000
Jake Ehrenberger, Steven Wonderboy Thompson, your main event.
01:03:09.000
I'll tell you the best, the most excited fight I'm looking forward to on tomorrow's card is Michelle Watterson.
01:03:17.000
If anyone knows who Michelle Watterson is, it's her first fight in UFC. She was fighting Invicta at 115. She's a little beast.
01:03:31.000
She knocked that girl out in like 40 seconds and called Rhonda out.
01:03:36.000
She called Misha Tate out and said, meet me at 140. Yeah, I think that's what's going to happen.
01:03:42.000
How can you call out a champion and not go down to her weight group?
01:03:46.000
Well, she probably can't go down to 35. Well, then you can't call her out.
01:03:51.000
Well, now, as a business, you say, fight me a catchweight.
01:03:55.000
That wouldn't make sense for Rhonda because it's like at no...
01:04:11.000
I don't understand how you can take those kind of shots and keep going.
01:04:16.000
Shot him on a guy who was knocking dudes out at 55 and then cut down to 45 with the same power.
01:04:27.000
Is he getting blood doped right now as we speak?
01:04:38.000
We can't say drug dope because he's in the corner, you asshole.
01:05:02.000
By the way, you're probably the hardest hitter ever.
01:05:09.000
People say George Foreman, but Mike Tyson's up there.
01:05:13.000
Actually, they broke it down scientifically, and George Foreman's number one.
01:05:35.000
Bobby, I want you to take your fighting more seriously after this.
01:05:40.000
We're going to start training you to fight in the 125. How much do you weigh, Bobby?
01:06:31.000
You know they tell you if you jump on the octagon or if you jump out of it, you're going to get fined?
01:06:38.000
I jumped on it in Toronto, and they didn't do anything.
01:07:19.000
Stevens is a striker first, and then a wrestler.
01:07:25.000
Dennis' background is boxing, but he does it all.
01:08:06.000
Head is as big as Joe Rogan's, which is saying a lot.
01:09:00.000
I had to go back and think about the old school fights where I knew 24-11, slot fights.
01:09:13.000
He changed his career and went down to Alliance and started training in San Diego with all those boys.
01:09:20.000
I forget his name, but he's a wrestling coach at Reign.
01:09:56.000
I'm surprised he never went down to Jackson's if that's where he's at, huh?
01:10:09.000
You could go Fight of the Night, because now they don't do Fight of the Night, they do Performance of the Night, right?
01:10:14.000
So you could go Performance of the Night, Knockout of the Night.
01:10:18.000
How much do you get for Performance of the Night versus, like, Submission of the Night?
01:10:22.000
They're all the same now, so it's all just, they give out, I think, three Performance of the Night.
01:10:33.000
I forget the exact breakdown, but it's all Performance of the Night.
01:10:37.000
And that's definitely performance of the night.
01:10:50.000
Batch got this title shot by beating the other two four horsemen, or four horsewomen, and then the only one left to fight was Marina, and she just got completely annihilated in Invicta in like 40 seconds.
01:11:25.000
You see how she's holding four and she went to one, right?
01:11:32.000
And then Marina was the fourth that finished off.
01:11:36.000
She got knocked down in like 40 seconds, some shit.
01:11:41.000
Rhonda's entourage, really, it's very similar to the entourage, right?
01:11:46.000
Like, she's Vinny Chase, and then the rest are Turtle, and so it's tough.
01:12:20.000
Well, just with Nogueras, I've been around forever.
01:12:25.000
Well, as an athlete, I guess you follow these things.
01:12:30.000
Do you say as an athlete, she follows these things?
01:12:34.000
So, if you're an athlete, you know mixed martial arts?
01:12:45.000
How do you get that cruel, that need to just destroy?
01:13:01.000
She's by far, hands down, the best female fighter ever.
01:13:28.000
Because she's like a six-time Muay Thai world champion.
01:13:36.000
Let's say Johanna, they did some super fight at catchweight, Rhonda would dominate her.
01:13:43.000
Rhonda's jiu-jitsu is some of the best in the world.
01:13:46.000
Chris Cyborg has actually been in those lion fights.
01:13:51.000
She's been beat up by a lot of Muay Thai girls.
01:13:54.000
Yeah, she got stopped by one of the top Muay Thai girls.
01:14:29.000
You're about to see fighting at its highest level.
01:14:32.000
Brian, that last fight was fighting at its highest level.
01:14:39.000
You're watching the two best welterweights in the world.
01:14:43.000
Please include Carlos Conant as right up there with them all.
01:14:49.000
I think Carlos Conant might be the best fighter.
01:15:24.000
However, the Minions are cool when you see them in clips, right?
01:15:35.000
My wife said, come to the movies with me and the kids.
01:15:42.000
Little yellow people for an hour and a half, though.
01:15:48.000
Now, forward that 40 minutes of pure yellow, guys, and it gets very old.
01:16:08.000
Yeah, and you are an animated character, but still.
01:16:11.000
If there was a movie about a lot of you, I'd watch it.
01:16:16.000
Sam Tripoli's joke about losing Bobby, he lost Bobby at the Korean Day Parade.
01:16:21.000
And he goes, you ever try to look for a Korean in a Korean parade?
01:16:24.000
It's like looking for a needle in a needle stack.
01:16:33.000
Bobby, when are you going to come on The Fighter and the Kid would need you?
01:16:45.000
Bro, real quick, look at these graphics right now.
01:16:54.000
Look at this graphic, the new UFC graphic, man.
01:17:00.000
I think you can see that in the arena, like basketball games?
01:17:06.000
No, you can't, because you see the glare off the side of the pillars, so they can see it.
01:17:11.000
But I don't like how they're doing a mashup of the final two fights.
01:17:14.000
They should do Rory and Lawler, and then when the other two come out, why are we doing a mashup?
01:17:21.000
I'll tell you why I want Conor McGregor to win and why I'm so nervous he won't, is that I don't want this train to stop.
01:17:34.000
But I want this hype train of Conor McGregor to just keep on keeping up.
01:17:38.000
I don't want to see what he does when he loses.
01:17:39.000
It's going to be embarrassing and I'll be bummed.
01:17:51.000
Dana White said this is the craziest arena fight ever he's ever seen.
01:17:59.000
The Jumbotron in the middle, I feel like it's not usually above the ring.
01:18:02.000
I've been there a few times, I feel like it's only...
01:18:04.000
Maybe recently they've had it there, but they always had it, like, you had to look far away, like, off in the distance to see the screens.
01:18:10.000
Look at the 70s, look at the welterweight division.
01:18:28.000
If he showed up and he was like, I'm your accountant, I'd be like, you look like a stocky accountant.
01:18:36.000
That's called the bullseye for me when I kill people.
01:18:57.000
As far as a sports commentator, one of the best ever.
01:19:08.000
Joe's a very smart guy, but his secret is his intensity over a long period of time.
01:19:13.000
He's got the craziest discipline and work ethic.
01:19:15.000
Like, he was telling us he went to frickin' like Chuck E. Cheese or something with his kid and was playing one of those pop-up games and he realized the high score is 500, so he sat there for an hour until he got 500. Like, bro, that's an issue.
01:19:29.000
I was like depressed like a month ago and he gave me really good life advice.
01:19:32.000
He says, just look at life as a movie, like you're in a movie.
01:19:43.000
He said, you have to act like you're the star of your own movie.
01:19:53.000
You're one of the funniest fucking people ever, and you have greatness in you as a comic.
01:19:59.000
And I've said that to you before, and very few people can do what you do, so you should never be depressed about that.
01:20:06.000
You have the ability to be one of the greatest comics ever.
01:20:11.000
And I've said that to you before, and I've said that to you publicly, but I've said that to you privately.
01:20:15.000
And I've said it among hundreds of thousands of people.
01:20:18.000
All you have to do is, when you feel depressed, is start writing, because you're that good.
01:20:27.000
No, I just go through, it's usually when people think I'm other people, then I get really depressed.
01:20:41.000
Or they'll go, I love you on Heroes, or I love you on Grey's Anatomy and stuff.
01:20:53.000
Okay, well, you don't know what I'm talking about, then.
01:20:55.000
Yeah, but Bobby, you're funnier than all those people.
01:21:15.000
They think I'm either Robbie Lawler or Rory McDonald.
01:21:39.000
I feel like everybody's younger than me, and they are.
01:21:50.000
Asians and black people age so much better than white people usually.
01:22:18.000
How old is he in that top left picture, though?
01:22:23.000
Well, you guys have the same hairline, for sure.
01:22:30.000
Oh, right there he looks about every bit of 55. You know what?
01:22:42.000
I don't like compliments, but thank you so much.
01:22:44.000
I'm a human being, and you go through depression, that's all.
01:22:57.000
You know, I hang out with this guy damn near every day.
01:23:05.000
You're an anomaly then, because I always figured comedians were a lot sounder.
01:23:09.000
They're supposed to be dark and have some demons.
01:23:14.000
I wake up going, I'm going to kill myself today.
01:23:20.000
And the thing about Callan, too, I don't know if you have this body, but he has more energy.
01:23:23.000
I'm 32. Callan has more energy than me, by far.
01:23:28.000
When we went to San Francisco together, I had to take naps.
01:23:45.000
I walked into the studio the other day, and I thought he was doing cornrows, but he's just losing his hair.
01:23:52.000
And he's like, no, bro, I'm just losing my hair.
01:23:58.000
Bobby, you and Brian should go on the show Naked and Afraid.
01:24:07.000
I got to cuddle you and stuff, then I got to carry you.
01:24:19.000
Bobby's tougher than he gives himself credit for.
01:24:21.000
Thanks, P. Where were you born and raised, Bobby?
01:24:30.000
Oh, that's where you did a lot of street fighting?
01:24:37.000
Now, do they give you those bright green shoes?
01:24:45.000
Now, you have to understand, this guy is the future and the now.
01:24:51.000
This kid has been groomed, groomed to be the next GSP and take over in Canada.
01:24:58.000
You want to talk about a guy who doesn't get nervous fight week?
01:25:03.000
I thought they should have named him the Canadian Psycho.
01:25:28.000
Anyone who knows Rory, he comes out of his shell and he's a funny dude.
01:25:53.000
But a guy who can beat him is a guy like Robbie Lawler, who's beat him before, but Robbie Lawler just has that pressure, man.
01:25:59.000
And you're talking about a confident champion, Robbie Lawler, coming at you.
01:26:24.000
Like you said, though, you can see the 70-pound belt just being on rotation with these guys.
01:26:36.000
Well, think about how many fights he's had and all the ups and downs.
01:26:39.000
You're talking about a guy who has a salty record, really.
01:26:42.000
I think he's 25 and 10. But before he went on this tear, he had a salty-ass record, man.
01:26:46.000
There was a time in his career where a lot of people were telling him, hey, man, it might be time to move on.
01:26:49.000
There was a time when he didn't spar for years.
01:26:52.000
He was just going there and trained and wouldn't spar.
01:26:57.000
He'd think he was doing too much sparring, so he didn't time off.
01:26:59.000
And then that was when he was at Pat Milichick's camp, and then he moved to Florida.
01:27:07.000
You're talking about Tim Sylvia, all those monsters.
01:27:12.000
So now he goes from there to ATT, where he's just flourishing, tearing it up.
01:27:25.000
Who's that guy right there with the puka shells?
01:28:05.000
Can't they do endless rounds where, like, just whoever's standing is laughing?
01:28:14.000
You'd have guys, like, stalling and doing weird shit.
01:28:18.000
I don't know if they're stalling, but just be...
01:28:19.000
But in Brazil, they'd have fights, like, Hickson had fights that lasted an hour and a half.
01:28:42.000
It actually doubles as an appetite suppressant.
01:28:50.000
This is that all-natural, whole food shenanigans.
01:29:04.000
Because I walk down the street and guys hit on her in front of me because they don't think that I'm dating her.
01:29:17.000
Or do they think that she's a part of some government organization that helps retarded kids walk across the street and stuff?
01:30:05.000
I wish there was a button I could hit that just slapped you.
01:30:07.000
You're like, K-Zero, you can listen to the volume.
01:30:21.000
How uncommon is that, that the champion actually comes in as the underdog?
01:30:30.000
But the thing is, the UFC, it's getting so competitive, it's all about styles and matchups.
01:30:38.000
When he fights Jose Aldo, I bet it's going to be close if he's an underdog.
01:30:47.000
So with the UFC kits, if you're the champ, they're all black.
01:30:51.000
So if you're the champion, you're all black with gold.
01:30:54.000
But I think for the non-champs, they have to make it different.
01:31:16.000
Best jab at 170. Best jab at 170. Very similar to Joel St. Pierre.
01:31:26.000
Hey, Brian, is there any way you can smack more into the mic, though?
01:31:36.000
No one hits harder at 170 than Rory, that's for sure.
01:31:44.000
The last time they met, Lawler knocked him down a third, right?
01:31:50.000
Look at our boy standing right in range of his right.
01:31:57.000
I'll tell you what's an advantage for Rory if it goes to the ground.
01:32:02.000
Compete in Metamorris, beat the brakes off a guy in Metamorris.
01:32:05.000
Look at how he's doing that weird front kick, that sort of 45 degree roundhouse.
01:32:16.000
I think it's a light black, but it looks purple to extend it.
01:32:22.000
Dude, he's just holding him off at that right...
01:32:26.000
He has a killer jab, a phenomenal jab, and then he uses those kicks to keep him at range.
01:32:42.000
It's going to be TKO later in the rounds, I think.
01:32:47.000
But the thing about Lawler is, A, he's freaking damn near impossible to knock out, especially lately, and B, he just hangs around, and if he lands one of those shots, it's night-night.
01:32:59.000
Well, that's why McDonald is so close to those hands!
01:33:04.000
Yeah, but look, as soon as he gets in within range, he's eating a nice, stiff Canadian jab.
01:33:12.000
But the thing is, Robbie Lawler's takedown defense is so damn good, especially early on.
01:33:17.000
So I bet we see Robbie just pick him apart for a little bit, wear him out, and then start to move for the takedowns.
01:33:22.000
Rory, by the way, has thrown everything so far.
01:33:34.000
Rory McDonald is the most skilled fighter here.
01:33:40.000
But Rory McDonald's a very different fighter now.
01:33:49.000
I'll tell you who doesn't want to be a celebrity.
01:34:01.000
True fighter and loves the finer things in life.
01:34:21.000
Because he doesn't have a background in wrestling, in taekwondo.
01:34:27.000
He went into the gym at 12 and started training in mixed martial arts.
01:34:33.000
You're talking about a black belt and striking.
01:34:34.000
All these jabs of black belt, so black belt and boxing.
01:34:45.000
Certain guys have exclusive deals, like Ronda has exclusive, right?
01:34:52.000
So I think certain guys with the big companies get additional sponsorship.
01:34:57.000
Because Roy's also an exclusive sponsor with Reebok, so he has a different deal than the rest of the guys.
01:35:10.000
Yeah, of course, Rory's jab and holding him off and all this, but that takedown defense by Robbie.
01:35:16.000
Robbie, that left hand of Robbie skips the shit out of him.
01:35:21.000
You don't know if it's going to be an uppercut or a straight right.
01:35:32.000
Or is it you just adjust and you stay on the outside of that foot?
01:35:37.000
Southpaws are harder to fight because there's a lot more traditional fighters than there are Southpaws.
01:35:42.000
So it's very tough, especially when they're at such a high level like Robbie.
01:36:08.000
And this is going to be frustrating for Robbie because he's going to be eating this all night.
01:36:12.000
So he can't sit there and eat these jabs and kicks.
01:36:24.000
Robbie just needs to land one to win this fight.
01:36:39.000
This level of a fight, to be that technical and use your jab, set up kicks.
01:36:44.000
You're watching them get positioned, where they're stepping.
01:36:50.000
True fighters are like, oh my God, that fight was amazing.
01:36:58.000
And then you go this way, around, it's like, alright.
01:37:01.000
But here's the thing, Bobby, the level of technique, the way they're measuring each other, and how they're positioning and stuff, and your margin for error with these guys, and watching him fight a southpaw where he's sitting on the outside of that jab and trying to use his right.
01:37:17.000
Watch how his foot is going to be on the outside every time.
01:37:21.000
You don't want to tell a guy that if he doesn't...
01:37:26.000
Bro, I'm trying to teach you lessons, so when guys call you out with your girl, let's slap some dudes around.
01:37:35.000
So when guys start heckling you with your girl, you can just whoop ass.
01:37:39.000
No, just say, this is Brendan Schaub's girlfriend.
01:37:46.000
Yeah, Robbie's going to have to make some changes here, man.
01:37:48.000
Because what he's doing now, staying outside, I love his movement here.
01:37:53.000
You have to, otherwise you can get picked apart by the reach of Roy McDonald.
01:37:59.000
Cal, remember I was giving you shit for reach, how you want to shout about reach?
01:38:15.000
Robbie's going to have to mix it up, man, because he can't stay outside here.
01:38:23.000
That's what Fabrizio Verdum did to Cain Velasquez.
01:38:29.000
I think Roy has the best jab in MMA. The last time we saw a jab like this was George St. Pierre.
01:38:37.000
Granted, they have the exact same coaches that come from the exact same camp.
01:38:50.000
I don't understand how Fabrizio Verdum was that big of an underdog in terms of just the betting line.
01:38:56.000
I mean, if you think about it, Kane had fought two guys in the last five years previous to that.
01:39:02.000
But I'm just saying, like, Verdum had gone to war much more than him.
01:39:15.000
We were talking about this on UFC Tonight when I was on there on Fox.
01:39:18.000
The thing is, he just doesn't get a lot of respect.
01:39:21.000
It's like, when the hell are they going to get to it?
01:39:34.000
He's getting frustrated, and I bet you we see later this round, the third round, he just start opening up and taking chances, and he's going to pay for it.
01:39:51.000
If you have a young kid who wants to get involved in MMA, you show him tape on Roy McDonald.
01:39:56.000
And then you say, never get into MMA. He doesn't eat a lot of punches.
01:40:10.000
Just doesn't get, his heart rate never raises, it seems.
01:40:13.000
Well, I'm sure it does, but he just stays cool, calm, collected.
01:40:18.000
He's just standing there, but just measuring shots.
01:40:20.000
It's his footwork that's getting him out of the way.
01:40:23.000
It's his distance control, which is everything.
01:40:28.000
Not worrying so much about slipping punches, but rather kind of being out of the way.
01:40:44.000
You get so nervous with Robbie because you can connect with him.
01:41:15.000
Well, now the champ found a little secret, huh?
01:41:18.000
Found a little open in the kitchen, as you call it, Callan.
01:41:25.000
They should get a tan because when you're pale like that guy, you can see the blood more easily.
01:41:32.000
Because I remember Lyoto Machida not too long ago came in with like an ultra fake tan and I saw it.
01:41:38.000
By the way, Rory McDonald's taking some shots right now, ladies and gentlemen.
01:41:45.000
Damn, you gotta give Robbie this one-to-one probably.
01:41:53.000
Damn, the confidence of a champ is trouble when he starts opening up.
01:42:20.000
I said the first round was bad, but the second round was very good, so I want to apologize.
01:42:34.000
What's not good is you got the champ being comfortable, and he's like, oh, hold up.
01:42:39.000
Second round, you're like, well, so we got one-to-one.
01:42:58.000
I wasn't sold on Rory before this, but I really want him to win now.
01:43:02.000
Like, there's something about him that's just...
01:43:04.000
I try to be unbiased, but goddammit, I suck at it.
01:43:25.000
He broke his orbital bone or something like that.
01:43:36.000
We're in round three here, ladies and gentlemen.
01:43:42.000
God, Robbie Lawler just keeps his eyes open and just sees everything coming.
01:43:49.000
These exchanges are where you're like, you hold your breath like one shot to the chin.
01:44:02.000
I feel like he's coming in and getting caught when he comes in.
01:44:10.000
And if I'm Rory, I'm going to mix it up and shoot for a takedown.
01:44:14.000
Because what he's doing now, he's starting to get ate up a little bit.
01:44:22.000
And you can tell with the kicks and his movement, Robbie's just loose as fuck.
01:44:29.000
How about the chin on our boy, old Rory, red guy, McDonald.
01:44:49.000
You're not eating too many of those Robbie Lawler left hands very long.
01:45:13.000
You're talking about a true martial artist here.
01:45:15.000
You're talking about a high-level wrestler, too, in Roy McDonald.
01:45:35.000
Roy looks like the red guy I just watched before I came here from Captain America.
01:46:04.000
Because the takedown was nowhere near happening.
01:46:10.000
And that's crazy that he couldn't take him down.
01:46:26.000
I'm not going to break down wrestling 101. With a wizard?
01:46:37.000
They're both slowing down a little this round, right?
01:46:41.000
This fourth round is going to be a barn burner.
01:47:06.000
That first round, I thought Ryder was going to be in some serious trouble.
01:47:10.000
I just thought it was going to be a clear-cut decision.
01:47:20.000
I gotta start taking my striking more seriously, Brennan.
01:47:29.000
The other day you told me you sparred and you didn't get hit once.
01:47:37.000
I'm sure you're very similar to Floyd Mayweather, but you haven't been boxing very long.
01:47:41.000
If you're a sparring guy who can't hit you, it might be time to switch it up.
01:47:44.000
But it makes me feel like I'm Floyd Mayweather when I box somebody who's never boxed before.
01:48:10.000
Every fight's like round of the year in this fight.
01:48:23.000
This is the greatest fight card I've ever seen.
01:48:40.000
That was a roundhouse, which I'm going to kick you in the front.
01:48:49.000
That's the greatest UFC fight card I've ever seen.
01:48:52.000
How about Robbie Lawler still able to clam up, keep his composure, and come back?
01:48:59.000
I didn't think he would have gotten rocked by that.
01:49:02.000
Rory's gotten beaten up kind of bad before, but still won.
01:49:27.000
So anytime you hit closer to the temporal area?
01:50:30.000
When's the last time you saw a welterweight championship fight?
01:50:43.000
This whole fight card is some of the best fights I've ever seen ever in UFC history.
01:51:15.000
That was, I mean, inches away from being stopped.
01:51:26.000
He spent a lot of energy trying to finish him there, especially in the third and fourth round.
01:51:32.000
But Rory, you know, his gas tank's running low because he's trying to finish him.
01:51:37.000
So they're both buying time to fill that tank back on up.
01:51:57.000
With wrestling and everything, it's the craziest shit.
01:52:04.000
I know, but it's fucking the hardest thing in sports.
01:52:09.000
The thing is, for Roy, when you know you're close to finishing a guy, you don't even think about your gas tank.
01:52:18.000
I would get gassed out just walking to the ring.
01:52:21.000
That's sort of like psychological at that point, right?
01:52:36.000
Wait till this arena still has Connor to walk out.
01:52:53.000
Man, you will not find a fighter more durable than this fucking Robbie Lawler.
01:53:34.000
You can't play any sports if you have AIDS. Any professional sports.
01:53:40.000
Magic played a little bit with HIV. I'd be more afraid with hep C more than anything.
01:53:46.000
If you have anything, any blood disease, you're not fighting.
01:54:02.000
He's still going back to that head kick that wobbled him.
01:54:16.000
I think Dana White's going to be like, Oprah, you get a bonus, you get a bonus, you get a bonus, you get a bonus.
01:54:38.000
I talked all that shit about UFC 100. Look at these two gladiators.
01:54:59.000
They might not let him go out there with that lip.
01:55:15.000
Even that torn lip's not bleeding as much as Rory's face, though, so I don't think they're gonna stop it.
01:55:24.000
Some of the craziest fighting I've ever seen in my life.
01:55:53.000
I love how neither guy would break and walk to the corner.
01:56:02.000
Look, man, Robbie Lawler has got the craziest cardio I've ever seen.
01:56:11.000
I think they're running on empty at this point.
01:56:15.000
I think their mind is carrying them over at this point.
01:56:18.000
Well, you're talking about championship rounds now.
01:56:24.000
You can't say women because there's some badass women out there.
01:56:39.000
Whoever wins this round is probably going to win the fight.
01:56:43.000
Because Roy won the last round, lost the one...
01:58:12.000
Well, look, Roy knew something was wrong with his nose.
01:58:37.000
How about Matt Brown, number one most knockouts in welterweight history.
01:58:42.000
Look at Anthony Johnson, fights at light heavyweight now at number six.
01:58:52.000
You don't feel any of that after you fight with you.
01:59:01.000
He's saying one of the greatest fights I've ever seen.
01:59:04.000
You know you're getting a nice bonus check, son.
01:59:07.000
I think they get a portion of the pay for you, so these boys are about to get paid.
01:59:19.000
That's going to be feel good when you have to stitch that lip up, right?
01:59:32.000
I don't want to see Johnny Hendricks for the third.
02:01:07.000
He's not a man of many words, but hopefully they do.
02:01:51.000
Neither one of you have had a fight, so why not do it, Callan?
02:03:01.000
Now, when you're back there, do you have the TV on watching these fights?
02:03:08.000
It's just good to see what's going on, and it's good to see that, you know, sometimes in your mind you make it a bigger deal than it is, you know?
02:03:15.000
And then when you watch it on TV, you're like, yeah, I've done that.
02:03:17.000
But when I'm watching this kind of slaughter, this kind of insanity...
02:03:23.000
It's the worst if you see a guy go out there and get a brutal knockout in the first round.
02:03:29.000
Do you think that Chad's going to be able to take down Connor?
02:03:49.000
I'm so impressed with your girl, I can barely take it.
02:03:51.000
I want to say I saw Sylvester Stallone in Chad Mendes.
02:04:00.000
He actually hired Chad Mendes to warm him up before the fight.
02:04:07.000
No, I mean, like, you know how he supports a fighter and they always win?
02:04:11.000
No, he supported Lyoto Machida when he fought Randy Couture, because I warmed up Randy Couture for that fight, and he got kicked in the face.
02:04:26.000
No, Anderson Silva, when his leg fell off, he was there, right?
02:04:39.000
There's not too many people I'd let in my corner.
02:04:46.000
He tried coming back to celebrate with Jon Jones.
02:04:48.000
Yeah, and Jon Jones was like, no, I don't know you, man.
02:04:51.000
You're talking about a true champion in Jon Jones.
02:04:53.000
So does he just crawl up to a corner from behind and just be like, hey, I'm here to support you?
02:04:57.000
He's just trying to take selfies and shit and get involved in the fight game.
02:05:04.000
He puts on, like, in front of a huge auditorium, he's, like, acting like he's mislocking and doing all this shit.
02:05:19.000
Not a one of fighters, but not a one been in a ring, really.
02:05:24.000
I mean, at least Jean-Claude Van Damme, I mean, yeah, well.
02:05:29.000
Look at Joe Woken, just like, what the fuck is going on here?
02:05:54.000
I can't believe we're just now getting the main event.
02:05:59.000
If you guys need to go and you're tired, I get it.
02:06:02.000
So for Conor and Chad Mendes right now, are they thinking we need to put on a fight after watching all of those?
02:06:21.000
The UFC's invested all their marbles into Conor.
02:06:34.000
First of all, if Conor wins tonight, especially if he doesn't commence in fashion, he's the biggest star the UFC's ever had.
02:06:43.000
If he loses, we're in trouble, but I gotta tell you, what a night tonight for the UFC. I mean, as far as just fights, that was the craziest shit!
02:06:52.000
Now, hear me out here, as great as this night's been, if Conor loses, it's not a win for the UFC. It's been a phenomenal fight card.
02:07:04.000
Because you can talk all that shit and we're all buying into it.
02:07:07.000
But then if you get murked by a guy on 12 days notice...
02:07:17.000
On a group text message, hey, what's this Irish guy all about?
02:07:25.000
She doesn't watch any UFC. That's how big of a deal this guy's getting.
02:07:29.000
My mom texts me and said, you think the Irish guy's going to win?
02:07:56.000
He literally is the greatest face of everything right now.
02:08:04.000
When he speaks, he says, I'm going to knock this guy in the first round.
02:08:10.000
We've never seen a mouthpiece like this in UC. Boxing had Muhammad Ali.
02:08:14.000
Granted, you've got to realize Muhammad Ali was an Olympian gold medalist, boxer, phenomenal fighter.
02:08:21.000
Conor has five fights, and he has this Muhammad Ali kind of charisma about him.
02:08:26.000
He still has a ways to go before we call him Muhammad Ali, but he's the closest thing to greatness we have right now as far as being the complete package.
02:08:33.000
Would this be his biggest test so far, Chad Mendes?
02:08:48.000
If I'm the UFC, I don't have him fight Chad Mendes.
02:09:00.000
Well, see, I don't think Conor would have beat Jose.
02:09:04.000
At least Jose would have been a stand-up battle.
02:09:07.000
Now we're talking about Chad Mendes, Frank Jaeger, talking about two guys mixing it up.
02:09:13.000
Maybe Conor gets taken down and he has some sick jiu-jitsu we haven't seen.
02:09:20.000
Worst case scenario, even if it goes decision and it's kind of controversial, that's fine.
02:09:25.000
But if he gets knocked out, that's what we don't want.
02:09:34.000
I think Connor's coming out first, which hints the giant Irish flag in the middle of that.
02:10:11.000
She hasn't been allowed in America since she burned the flag on Saturday Night Live.
02:10:15.000
Well, she hasn't been on TV in America since she burned the flag.
02:10:20.000
The power of Conor McGregor got her ass back into the States.
02:10:45.000
There's only one guy in the UFC who can do this.
02:11:08.000
If you're Conor McGregor, you gotta be nervous as shit.
02:11:25.000
Conor, usually if a guy's so arrogant, it's hard to root for him.
02:11:28.000
Conor's a guy who's arrogant, but he wins you over.
02:11:59.000
You two tweeted a picture out giving thumbs up and had a big picture of Connor on stage in wherever the fuck they were.
02:12:19.000
For some reason, Conor has this factor where he's won me over.
02:12:30.000
He gets the game, and he's a true martial artist.
02:12:38.000
I... I just picture myself being Chad Mendes' mom and then hating him so much because my son is technically...
02:12:48.000
Name the last hero they've had as far as athletics.
02:12:58.000
The Irish also, their history has been one of...
02:13:01.000
Yeah, can you go on a quick history lesson before Conor comes out?
02:13:05.000
It's a huge reason you have such incredible patriotism.
02:13:12.000
There are more Irish war heroes in this country of Irish descent than any other nationality.
02:13:22.000
You know what the only thing I don't like about Conor?
02:13:28.000
And it's so goddamn good, it looks like a hologram.
02:13:32.000
It has to look like a tiger if you can get that tattoo.
02:13:41.000
Because my people and his people, we built the railroads in this country.
02:13:51.000
You're getting booed and you're fighting in Vegas.
02:14:45.000
If we reach 10 million downloads in one month...
02:14:52.000
So if we reach 10 million, you'll get a tattoo?
02:15:09.000
I'll definitely get a Fighter and the Kid tattoo.
02:15:41.000
I would say just from walkouts, listen, no one's more American than I am.
02:15:48.000
However, if we're talking walkouts, Connor won this battle.
02:16:20.000
If I got a text from Rogan and said, hey, listen, Connor needs a back rep.
02:16:25.000
He's probably the only guy in the world to fly to.
02:16:29.000
I brought a backup just in case I can't go the full six hours that you need.
02:16:32.000
And you're behind, rubbing your hands and warming them up.
02:16:34.000
A sad 48-year-old dying just to touch his shoulders.
02:16:59.000
What I don't want to have happen is Connor get knocked out early.
02:17:34.000
Connor looks much better now than the weigh-ins.
02:17:37.000
When we were on the Joe Rogan experience, Brian Callahan, Joe was talking about IVs.
02:18:02.000
Yeah, they should just get rid of that altogether.
02:18:10.000
Well, he's got a huge reach advantage, and there are a couple of things to keep in mind here that I believe, I believe, that his...
02:18:17.000
Takedown defense is excellent, but he's not been working on it the way he probably should have because he didn't know he was going to be fighting Chad Mendes.
02:18:24.000
Why would they be opposed to IVs after the weigh-in?
02:18:32.000
You take IVs away, it's more dangerous than the fighters.
02:18:42.000
The more important issue is let them be healthier when they cut weight, because guys are always going to cut weight.
02:18:46.000
Let's see, blood doping or guys not cutting weight correctly, come knock on getting shitty performances, I'll take my chances, most guys are blood doping.
02:18:53.000
You're talking about the exception that blood dopes.
02:18:55.000
For sure, relax, Vada, Vada, whatever the fuck your name is.
02:19:04.000
Could you just take Aretha Poetan without actually transfusing the blood?
02:19:12.000
You're saying put it through your PO? No, no, no.
02:19:15.000
Like EPO is what causes more production of red blood cells, right?
02:19:20.000
Is there like a synthetic type of EPO versus trying to actually transfuse it?
02:19:26.000
I think there actually is a synthetic form of EPO. I'll call Lance Armstrong up real quick.
02:19:32.000
Dude, do you understand what we're about to watch?
02:19:34.000
In some ways, the most anticipated fight in UFC history here.
02:19:55.000
You don't think he's fucking headlining that card?
02:20:40.000
Oh, you're talking about the number one 145-er in the world?
02:20:59.000
Yeah, at the weigh-ins, right before the weigh-ins.
02:21:02.000
Conor and Uriah were walking down the hall, and Uriah went to say congratulations.
02:21:06.000
And then something happened where Conor acted like he was wrestling him, and then Uriah was messing around, and Conor wasn't messing around.
02:21:14.000
I thought he was just joking at first, but then I realized it was real.
02:22:03.000
The thing about Connors, in his fights, he does get hit, man.
02:22:06.000
But if you get hit by Chad, you're not going to stick around very long.
02:22:11.000
How's Chad's cardio, given that he hasn't had a long camp?
02:22:28.000
I thought the feed crashed because Connor's breaking records.
02:22:46.000
What Chad can't do is get into the corner, having fun, smiling, eating shots.
02:23:03.000
Dude, he's dealing with a guy who hits much harder than you understand.
02:23:14.000
You're talking about the European champion as a boxer.
02:23:29.000
It's the Anderson Silva thing where we think guys are untouchable.
02:23:32.000
I'm telling you, at this point, you can't do that.
02:23:37.000
First of all, first of all, I've never seen anything like this.
02:23:45.000
You know the pressure on this guy and he's acting like this?
02:23:52.000
I'm telling you, though, he keeps getting hit like that.
02:24:09.000
What you don't want to have happen is this for five rounds.
02:24:14.000
He needs to work if he's going to take him down.
02:24:16.000
Conor's good at getting back to his feet, though.
02:24:33.000
Fake takedown to a huge overhand right knocks Connor out.
02:25:10.000
I think if it goes to later rounds, though, it's going to be intense.
02:25:25.000
Well, if there's any question to Connor's takedown defense, it's not great.
02:25:31.000
And now he's getting the mount and side control.
02:25:43.000
This is why you don't toss some Chad Mendes on 12 days notice.
02:25:49.000
And a guy like Chad, he trains all year, right?
02:25:52.000
No, when we talked to URI, he said the best thing about Chad is he can get away from the game and take breaks and reset.
02:25:59.000
So I don't know if he's taking a break because he wasn't supposed to fight, right?
02:26:02.000
Brandon, what's more exhausting, holding the guy down or being on the ground like this?
02:26:12.000
But I read that he benefits from a shorter camp too.
02:26:20.000
Yeah, and plus the week leading into it, they're doing a lot of press and all of that.
02:26:28.000
Think how much press Conor did for these fights.
02:26:30.000
You're talking about he was doing interviews non-stop.
02:26:42.000
If he keeps taking him down, that's going to happen every round.
02:26:51.000
Conor McGregor doesn't have an answer for that wrestling.
02:27:03.000
I don't want to see him lose with all this shit.
02:27:22.000
And they give you the worst matchup possible on 12 days notice.
02:27:25.000
Does that sound like a smart business decision?
02:27:30.000
What do you do when you say you're going to fight a giant fucking killer wrestler?
02:27:38.000
Hey, we have the worst possible matchup for you.
02:27:44.000
Did he have to bring in like a wrestling training partner?
02:28:11.000
The thing is, can Chad keep this up for 25 minutes?
02:28:46.000
Every Conor McGregor fan goes, yeah, if you give him a wrestler, his wrestling is good enough.
02:28:51.000
Well, when you're talking about top of the food chain, Chad Mendes.
02:29:00.000
Because, like, Dennis Seaver, listen, he's not Chad Mendes.
02:29:06.000
You're talking about a Chad fucking Mendes with elbows for days.
02:29:10.000
And as the rounds go on, it's going to be tough for him to stand up.
02:29:14.000
Is this what you want on the biggest fight ever?
02:29:21.000
And I don't want to see him lose, get grounded down this way.
02:29:29.000
And you're getting a tattoo as soon as we get 10 million downloads.
02:29:32.000
Now, even if people hate us, they're going to listen to see you get a tattoo.
02:29:46.000
I've been listening to you guys for 20 minutes.
02:29:57.000
But that's just because I think that Mendes is a more tested fighter, in my opinion.
02:30:03.000
That's why I wouldn't have gave him Mendes a 12-day notice.
02:30:10.000
The biggest star ever, potentially the biggest star ever in UFC history.
02:30:13.000
Now the entire world's tuned in to watch him win, and now you're getting this.
02:30:24.000
No, you can't, Brian, because he's landing huge elbows and controlling the fight.
02:30:28.000
You can stand him up if you're Conor McGregor's fucking fan.
02:30:35.000
He's saying back of the head, but it really wasn't.
02:30:39.000
I think he's complaining about one of those hits.
02:30:46.000
First of all, you want to talk about a gas tank.
02:30:48.000
When you're a wrestler and you're 145 pounds, you really don't get tired when your background's wrestling.
02:30:57.000
The factor of this is, is Conor McGregor, this is taking away his power, his gas tank, so the later the rounds go, the worse it is.
02:31:05.000
If you can't get up in the first and second round, you're sure as fuck not getting up in the fourth and fifth.
02:31:13.000
It's going to look like this for the rest of the round.
02:31:15.000
Oh, and by the way, if you can't stop a takedown in the first and second round, the third, fourth, and fifth, the takedowns get way easier.
02:31:44.000
You train for a Muay Thai guy, and then they throw you the gnarliest fucking matchup on 12 days notice.
02:32:00.000
Even though I'm gonna win the bet and my prediction, I don't want to be right.
02:32:05.000
Hey, real quick, Team Alpha Male, they get a hold of your neck.
02:32:34.000
This is what happens when you take a final 12-day notice.
02:33:00.000
Ladies and gentlemen, the biggest star in the UFC has just been born!
02:33:21.000
But good lesson learned for him, I think, for Conor.
02:33:25.000
Listen, Brendan, I re-watched the Chad Mendes Aldo fight at the two, and what I saw was him standing in front of him the whole time, and I was like, no way.
02:33:51.000
The reason you gotta like this guy is because he's a real dude.
02:34:14.000
You don't want a guy who won't shake your hand or he's gonna talk shit after this.
02:34:49.000
I feel like that's where, that's what caused him to gas right there.
02:34:56.000
I'll tell you what, I'll never doubt Conor again ever in my life.
02:35:14.000
You sure as fuck can't sit there and eat, though.
02:35:17.000
It's almost as if he got up and just completely...
02:35:25.000
I feel like if it had gone past three that Conor would have won anyways, just gone on gas a lot.
02:36:23.000
I'll tell you what, this motherfucker's so good, I might buy a Reebok Kick Connor shirt.
02:36:56.000
Before we even talk about the fight, please tell me what that's like.
02:37:02.000
I can't put into words how grateful I am for everyone to support me and follow me.
02:37:15.000
I travelled around the world twice and done two things.
02:37:18.000
One in case it was Jose and one in case it was Chad.
02:37:37.000
I've never been emotionally invested in a fight of a guy who...
02:38:29.000
How do you think Aldo feels about this, watching?
02:38:36.000
Grant is Chad on a full camp, but Aldo went toe-to-toe in a controversial fight.
02:39:42.000
What did I tell you, Calum, coming into this fight?
02:39:46.000
I didn't want to say anything because I don't want to be a spoiler.
02:39:58.000
I heard he has a torn MCL. I heard he has to have surgery right after this.
02:40:07.000
I don't know if that's official, so that's why I was picking Chad, because I figured if he's hurt, wrestler, it's trouble.
02:40:31.000
I mean, first off, I want to thank Connor for even accepting him on two weeks.
02:40:34.000
I mean, he was training for Aldo that entire time.
02:40:37.000
I mean, that's a completely matchup, completely different matchup for him.
02:40:41.000
I mean, hands down, the guy's got the talk to back it up.
02:40:45.000
And, you know, what's awesome is these guys, these Irish guys, you guys are crazy.
02:40:50.000
I mean, I wish we had so much support like this with everyone here.
02:40:57.000
You guys show so much support for your athletes.
02:41:00.000
You know, this is just completely awesome for me.
02:41:12.000
This was obviously a huge opportunity for you, but taking a fight like this where you didn't have a full camp, are there any regrets right now in your mind?
02:41:44.000
How about the ladies of Conor McGregor in the back?
02:42:25.000
From what I heard with rumors with Conor and his knee, if he has surgery, you're looking at a little bit of a layoff.
02:42:42.000
I really thank you for the opportunity and the growth, and I've learned so much about it.
02:42:52.000
I try to watch fights with him at home, but I always end up watching alone.
02:43:17.000
I'm at the Comedy Store, and the next week, where am I playing, baby?
02:43:26.000
Harvey Lee, one of the funniest people on the planet.
02:43:29.000
And you're going to be on the fight on the kid soon.
02:44:05.000
Bobby Lee and his smoke show girlfriend who knew a shitload about the UFC. She sure did.
02:44:23.000
I mean, I just don't know what to say about it.
02:44:27.000
Conor McGregor just keeps backing it up and now backed it up in the second round with one of the baddest dudes.
02:44:33.000
Tell you what, Callan, we had a bad t-shirt, July t-shirt sales.
02:44:48.000
So we have Turbo Slet in black and gold coming out.
02:44:52.000
I can't believe we were making Turbo Slet shirt.
02:44:55.000
But when Rogan blasts it out, and we have all these comments, then Asa Kara wants one.
02:45:12.000
You got Ricardo Lamas just hanging in the back there.
02:45:21.000
Ordered my Conor McGregor Reebok kit as we're on air here.
02:45:29.000
This whole event tonight, I've never seen anything like it.
02:45:33.000
This is the first fight where, when I was driving down here to Rogan Studio, I felt like everyone was rushing home to watch this fight.
02:45:57.000
Does someone have a button so I can slap the shit out of Callan?
02:46:00.000
Why would he fight Robbie Lawler in the UFC? I don't know.
02:46:12.000
From the singing, from the hype, from Conor McGregor being down and out.
02:46:33.000
UFC took a risk, put him in there against Chad, and boy, did it pay off.
02:46:38.000
That's like betting on black, and boy, did it hit.
02:46:44.000
Could have gone the other way and just killed the entire show.
02:46:55.000
Guys, thanks for listening to the Fight Companion without the head chief-o, Joe Rogan.
02:47:05.000
Well, when Joe's gone, it could get a little wild.
02:47:13.000
When it comes to fighting, though, it's best if you take the lead.
02:47:20.000
The show where you can find us is The Fighter and The Kid.
