Transcript
00:00:10.000
There was a bit of a delay with Callan and Schaub getting here.
00:00:26.000
Anywhere anybody won't fly, they're like, alright, we're cool.
00:00:29.000
If you've never heard this podcast before, this is what we call Fight Companion Podcast.
00:00:35.000
Scoggins, this kid right here, Justin Scoggins, that's his name, right?
00:00:54.000
He's got this karate style, but he also throws a lot of traditional martial arts techniques, and he's got a wrestling background, so it's pretty interesting.
00:01:23.000
Which is pretty impressive, because Scoggin's a good wrestler.
00:01:26.000
If you've never heard this podcast before, this is what we call a fight companion podcast.
00:01:33.000
It's 4.15 on the clock right now, if you want to sync up.
00:01:46.000
We do these podcasts while the fights are going live and we talk while the fights are happening.
00:02:01.000
And so a lot of people, what they do is they watch this and they watch the fights at the same time.
00:02:06.000
If you're doing that, look at these kind of kneeing him in the face when he's down.
00:02:10.000
Which is kind of a sneaky thing you can do, right?
00:02:18.000
Look at this, he's putting his foot in between.
00:02:47.000
That arm, for sure, it's going to suck jerking off with that thing for the next couple of weeks.
00:03:04.000
I'm pretty sure it was his left arm that he was attacking.
00:03:16.000
And like I said, wrestling background, but real good at karate.
00:04:16.000
Trying to hit that switch, the cage is in the way.
00:04:21.000
It can help you sometimes, especially if you're a ground-and-pound guy, wrestler ground-and-pound.
00:04:27.000
But as a jiu-jitsu guy, it makes things tougher, I think.
00:04:41.000
I like asking questions that a lot of people don't know.
00:04:46.000
If we had a whip and they'd just slap Callen when he says that.
00:04:49.000
For real, how do you not know who Duke Rufus is?
00:04:51.000
Only this Coggins dropped down for a guillotine.
00:04:54.000
Duke Rufus is the brother of Rick Rufus, Rick the Jet Rufus, who is one of the big PKA karate stars, like one of the most exciting ones.
00:05:03.000
Yeah, amazing fighter who turned into a Muay Thai fighter after he had some Muay Thai fighters and got fucked up.
00:05:10.000
And then his brother, Duke, after Rick got fucked up by some Thai fighters, his brother went into Muay Thai himself and Duke became a Muay Thai world champion, and now he trains Anthony Pettis, Sergio Pettis.
00:05:27.000
He's trained a lot of high-level fighters, and he trains this guy Dustin Ortiz, too.
00:05:38.000
And super intelligent and really well-read when it comes to fighting.
00:05:44.000
She knows everything about Muay Thai, especially.
00:05:51.000
Well, this is one of the first fights of the second card of the second day, and they're in a 14,000-seat arena.
00:05:58.000
Dude, if you're a UFC fan, you are just jizzing your pants for this weekend.
00:06:10.000
Just got off the plane, straight to Rogan Studios.
00:06:21.000
Well, I was out drinking with Mark Delgrate, Brian Callen, Brian Stan, my buddy Justin, and we were out until 4 o'clock in the fucking morning.
00:06:35.000
At 4 o'clock in the morning, the place is mobbed.
00:06:37.000
And also, the casinos are set up so you don't realize how late it is.
00:07:07.000
It's a really interesting style for a guy who's a good wrestler.
00:07:33.000
He's got that right arm hooked like he's going for a crucifix here.
00:07:55.000
All I know is I got to hang out with Dan Severin.
00:08:00.000
His skin's better than anyone's in this room, first of all.
00:08:05.000
Was he drinking fucking raw milk all day and stuff?
00:08:15.000
He's got some great stories about the old wrestling days, international wrestling.
00:08:19.000
Look at this, Ortiz rolls Dustin over right in front of Rufus.
00:08:24.000
The other thing about having a coach like Duke Rufus is he's such a great guy that he motivates you so much.
00:08:34.000
Guys talk about their relationships that they have with their trainers like that.
00:08:39.000
I had breakfast with Dwayne in Vegas for a time.
00:08:43.000
He was saying for him it's cool because it's like he's living through TJ. He wished he had himself as a coach when he was coming up.
00:08:56.000
And a lot of times, by the time guys get there...
00:09:00.000
It's crazy that TJ had no time to bask in the championship.
00:09:13.000
Well, you know, it was supposed to be in Vegas.
00:09:18.000
The late August show was supposed to be in Vegas.
00:09:22.000
They decide to move it to Sacramento because it's TJ's hometown.
00:09:27.000
Good for TJ. Yeah, great for TJ. Terrible for Burrell because of the quick turnaround after a KO. That's the only thing that concerns me.
00:09:43.000
A fluke is if you get hit right in the first round and get knocked out.
00:09:47.000
Five rounds of a pure ass whooping is not a fluke.
00:09:50.000
They think the five rounds came about because of the first round.
00:09:55.000
He didn't know where the fuck he was for the rest of the fight.
00:09:58.000
He went into the fifth round, apparently, and he thought it was the third round.
00:10:04.000
That speaks to your point about having him fight that early, though.
00:10:22.000
And Scoggins is like this kid that has a lot of hype behind him, and justifiably, but I am blown away by Dustin Ortiz.
00:10:31.000
I mean, just the fact that he got out of that armbar, man.
00:10:46.000
Maybe he just gets a cortisone shot so he can keep eating off.
00:10:52.000
Finds a doctor and gives him a cortisone shot so he can continue this jack-off.
00:10:56.000
I like how he almost got caught in a bad situation there and instinctively shoved that second arm in.
00:11:06.000
Ground and pound's tough, especially if you're a wrestler like this where you're at a wrestling base and you're heavy on a ground and pound like a Mark Munoz, it opens you up for submissions.
00:11:17.000
This guy in the little box here, I saw him leaning against the...
00:11:28.000
He was one of the heavyweight champions of Extreme Fighting Championship.
00:11:32.000
He was a part of one of the fights that changed MMA. Really?
00:11:35.000
Yeah, because he fought Maurice Smith, and Maurice Smith head-kicked him.
00:11:50.000
Ran into Maurice this weekend at the Lion Fights.
00:12:03.000
Some guy who shouldn't have been fighting Maurice Smith.
00:12:08.000
The guy Maurice Smith beat the shit out of him.
00:12:12.000
Oh, so Conan was a jiu-jitsu black belt, and...
00:12:15.000
That was back at the time when everybody thought the jiu-jitsu black belts were unstoppable.
00:12:19.000
If someone was a jiu-jitsu black belt, it was it.
00:12:23.000
It was like the Hoist Gracie days, the early days.
00:12:27.000
And Maury Smith, leg kicked the fuck out of him and then head kicked him.
00:12:34.000
When he got taken to the ground, used good butterflies, got back up to his feet.
00:12:39.000
Maury's ground game was all about defense, 100% defense.
00:12:42.000
It was all butterflies and defense and endurance.
00:12:45.000
Maurice has crazy, crazy cardio for a heavyweight.
00:12:55.000
Mark Coleman, that's what he said during the pre-fight.
00:12:58.000
He was like, I'm going to ground and pound the shit out of him.
00:13:04.000
That was back when I was the post-fight interviewer.
00:13:19.000
But he was, he's not an, Morris is an interesting guy because he's not like an angry guy.
00:13:45.000
I was watching him as you were taking pictures.
00:14:13.000
We got a little computer issue, ladies and gentlemen.
00:14:23.000
Meanwhile, we're talking about all sorts of shit from the past and Scoggins and Ortiz are doing a war.
00:14:39.000
Hey, Brendan, thanks for making me do a wheel kick in my jeans this morning at 10 in the morning.
00:14:43.000
That was a lot of fun in front of a bunch of people.
00:14:54.000
I thought Cal was going to blow his asshole out throwing this kick.
00:15:03.000
Actually, since I've been boxing, I kick the bag now, but nothing like that.
00:15:43.000
Meanwhile, sitting next to you, wedged in those little seats on Southwest, I wish you were smaller.
00:15:48.000
Have you ever thought about trying to go to 205?
00:16:14.000
235. When you think about that, you're not watching your diet at all.
00:16:19.000
Like, think about some of the shit that some of these guys do.
00:16:25.000
What does Weidman walk around at before he tries to make 205 or 185?
00:16:34.000
A lot of those guys get crazy out of shape in between fights.
00:16:48.000
He was walking around at 235. He sucked down to 170. We were doing this movie and I looked at him and I said, what do you weigh right now?
00:16:55.000
He goes, about 235. I said, you're going to make 170 in two months?
00:17:04.000
We should really pay attention to this fight because it's so good.
00:17:43.000
You know, we were talking about this the other day, that Brian Carraway fishhook incident.
00:17:51.000
I can't believe how long he held that fishhook in.
00:17:56.000
I think he said it was a genuine accident, right?
00:18:00.000
I don't want to call him a liar, but I think I just did.
00:18:06.000
I mean, he might have not even known he was doing it because he was so ferocious in the heat of the moment trying to finish that show.
00:18:37.000
And he's got his fingers deep in this guy's mouth.
00:18:40.000
And he's pulling them towards him to try to get the choke.
00:18:59.000
I think they made the movie for something really tiny, like a million dollars.
00:19:04.000
It was so popular that Ethan Hawke made $7 million on that movie.
00:19:17.000
Yo, Ethan, man, I have this independent project.
00:19:20.000
How many guys come to you with independent projects they're doing?
00:19:28.000
Yeah, I get dudes who want me to help them produce their animated features.
00:19:37.000
A good friend fucking gave me an ear beating, a ferocious ear beating the other day about some reality show.
00:19:42.000
He's trying to put together about him being, you know, you're in the TV business.
00:19:53.000
Well, find somebody who actually is like a TV producer.
00:19:59.000
This is the difference between me and you guys.
00:20:12.000
I think you're going to give it to your boy on the right.
00:20:32.000
We were talking so much, we didn't really score that.
00:20:44.000
Like, sometimes during a fight, like while we're doing commentary, like I talked about it with Jimmy Smith.
00:20:50.000
The last fight companion when you motherfuckers weren't around.
00:20:59.000
But Jimmy Smith was great, and Ian McCall was on it, too.
00:21:04.000
But Jimmy was talking about they make him score at Bellator.
00:21:09.000
Yeah, but they make him score the rounds while he's doing commentary.
00:21:15.000
Me, personally, I could do it, but I don't want to do it.
00:21:21.000
I say, you know, I think this guy won the fight or won the rounds, but the reality is, if you want to really call the fight correctly, you have to shut your mouth.
00:21:32.000
I mean, when you Well, it's a 10-point must system, but it's really dumb because you're working within a flawed system.
00:21:39.000
But the real problem with that flawed system is a round in boxing is three minutes, and there's a bunch of them.
00:21:54.000
Three rounds, only three rounds, and there could be a 10-9 round where one guy just beats the shit out of a guy.
00:22:01.000
And then another 10-9 round where it's like a toss-up.
00:22:15.000
Because there just isn't a criteria for somebody keeping pressure on, holding position on somebody, takedowns.
00:22:29.000
And there should be like a scale of like 1 to 10 of how close a submission is.
00:22:37.000
That was a fucking 9. That armbar was a fucking 9. 9 and a half.
00:22:41.000
That was about as close as you can get to not getting tapped.
00:22:58.000
I'll tell you what was fun, though, at the expo.
00:23:21.000
I did not want to do this radio interview because of this.
00:23:23.000
So I do this interview and he goes, yeah, man, that fight was awful.
00:23:39.000
Oh, when we were done, he's like, listen, man, I'm going to give you my...
00:24:03.000
There's a certain amount of sports guy radio bullshit that's leaked into MMA. They think that they can be cool.
00:24:20.000
Not only that, it's just like, can't you talk about a fight without being disrespectful to the guy that was fighting?
00:24:43.000
Anybody who's ever competed before, if you've had more than a few fights, there's going to be some that just go off.
00:24:53.000
You can't think that every fight is going to be great.
00:25:01.000
But the thing is, when I talked to him, I was like, yeah, on the air, I go, did that fight suck?
00:25:10.000
I was banking on, just like I'm used to when I used to train with him, an aggressive Orlovsky, which I hate that we're talking about this again.
00:25:24.000
That's how I get my takedowns, my big combination, stuff like that.
00:25:27.000
So when he's not being aggressive and approaching, I should have adapted and I didn't.
00:25:36.000
So this guy, when you were doing this interview, was he like...
00:25:42.000
No, listen, obviously I could take his job if I wanted to on air.
00:25:47.000
I just destroyed him on air with everything, fight talk, everything.
00:25:59.000
Oh, so before that, oh, so there was like a build-up already where he was like kind of like...
00:26:04.000
A little bit, and then I even told him, and then he was like, well, what's next?
00:26:10.000
You know, what they're going to do with me, I don't know, because technically, really, I won the fight.
00:26:15.000
They gave Arlovsky a main event against Bigfoot, so obviously they're not too mad at him.
00:26:23.000
And he had, you know, he couldn't come up with anything.
00:26:28.000
What did you think about the Strew situation, man?
00:26:35.000
I think it was almost a, I don't want to say a blessing in disguise, but I don't think Shreve would have won that fight.
00:26:43.000
And I think the time away, they wanted to give him more of an easier fight, a guy where he could get his bearings back, get used to the octagon and the lights.
00:26:53.000
It's a different animal, man, when you haven't fought in a while.
00:27:01.000
For folks who don't know what happened, Stefan Struve is a really tall fighter.
00:27:11.000
And doing well in the UFC, has some pretty big wins, and then all of a sudden he has a heart condition, like a serious, legit heart condition.
00:27:17.000
They don't know if he's ever going to be able to fight again.
00:27:23.000
I don't know what they did to try to fix his situation.
00:27:32.000
He had to see all these doctors before one was like, yeah, let's do this.
00:27:45.000
So he's off for a long time and he's in the locker room getting ready for his fight and his heart starts beating like really fast and he has like an almost fainting spell.
00:28:00.000
And they go, yeah, that's about it for you, buddy.
00:28:03.000
And they pull him off the card an hour before you're supposed to fight.
00:28:08.000
Can you imagine if that happened inside the octagon?
00:28:10.000
They announce his name and this giraffe passes out on the side of the cage, like a zoo animal.
00:28:21.000
Actually, before, everybody's taking the steps up to the octagon.
00:28:33.000
That's happened plenty of times on a basketball court where somebody didn't live.
00:28:42.000
There's a condition, and I can't remember the name of it, where people dropped dead of a heart attack.
00:28:56.000
There's not a lot of grandpas out there with cauliflower.
00:29:00.000
And then he's seven foot tall with a little nub.
00:29:16.000
So yeah, he's on the back nine of life for sure.
00:29:19.000
That's the kind of insult the guy with a giant dick just throws around right now.
00:29:27.000
You called him a giraffe, and now he's got a little nub.
00:29:30.000
Well, giraffe is a perfect way to describe him because he's so long and gangly.
00:29:43.000
Because when I was looking for a fight before Arlovsky, before the Hunt fight fell off, they're like, Struve's going to be back, man.
00:29:47.000
I'm like, I don't want to fight the guy coming back from heart surgery.
00:29:57.000
That's a good point, because did you see the Justin Gagey-Nick Newell fight?
00:30:06.000
He's a one-armed fighter, and everybody's rooting for him because he's a one-armed fighter.
00:30:15.000
Well, Gaethje, his first day in the gym, I was there.
00:30:34.000
It's like you're watching a guy beat a guy up who has one arm.
00:30:54.000
And then again, if a guy with one arm beats you, that's even more of a mind fuck.
00:31:01.000
I remember when in high school we would wrestle guys sometimes who were deaf or blind.
00:31:08.000
I had a buddy who thought he was going to be the next frickin', you know, I wrestled a couple guys who were deaf, and I wrestled a couple guys who were blind.
00:31:22.000
Deaf, they can see you, they grab ahold of you.
00:31:31.000
You know, there's a dude who's like the best pool player in the world who's deaf.
00:31:35.000
And when he plays pool, he turns his hearing aid off.
00:31:44.000
I remember Timmy was saying, with wrestlers at least, they can't hear themselves breathe, which has an effect.
00:31:56.000
I guess a good effect in terms of it doesn't get psychological.
00:32:02.000
You might be onto something because when I listen to music and I do conditioning, when I listen to music, I take it off.
00:32:13.000
But when you're running and listening to music, you don't realize how tired you are.
00:32:17.000
Yeah, I think that you get better cardio in when you have the music jam.
00:32:22.000
Matter of fact, I've seen a clinical study where music does help your endurance and stuff like that.
00:32:27.000
It seems like it would help you if you're doing strength and conditioning workouts.
00:32:39.000
You know, the Eye of the Tiger guy is the same guy that is the Bud Light guy.
00:33:02.000
He was the guy from Survivor, the lead singer of Survivor.
00:33:06.000
He was with us on the Maxim Comedy Tour when I did it with Charlie Murphy and John Heffron.
00:33:36.000
They had international fight week, so they had the Brazilian girls walk up and the American girls walk up.
00:33:41.000
And someone needs to scrape some DNA off those Brazilian girls and clone that shit.
00:33:50.000
He's loading up a heavy right hand from downtown.
00:33:53.000
Yeah, whatever they have that grows asses like that in Brazil, please preserve it.
00:34:12.000
I went into the green room, and I was literally like, fans back there, I had to shut them down.
00:34:26.000
You know, I wear this custom tailored suit to the UFC. Your boy Goldie wears a three-piece.
00:34:42.000
Do you think I ever don't flex when I'm in there, though?
00:34:47.000
Do I ever let go of my gut and just stick it out like I'm pregnant?
00:34:51.000
I was just in Mexico for three days walking around the beach with no shirt on.
00:34:56.000
I was holding it in the whole time doing everything I could.
00:35:31.000
I was staring at him and I go, are you a lawyer?
00:36:08.000
You know the last time he did this on our podcast?
00:36:12.000
And Frank Mir is one of my all-time favorite fighters.
00:36:17.000
You started talking shit about him and me and him fighting.
00:36:24.000
Sure enough, headlines come out, Schaub wants to fight Frank Mayer, calls him out.
00:36:27.000
It's all because of Calen talking shit, pushing your buttons.
00:36:45.000
Every person we walked by, Calum would be like, God, that guy's tough.
00:36:49.000
I went, Brian, if you're going to do that all day, we're at a fucking UFC expo.
00:37:00.000
There's Anthony Pettis in there, Joey Benavidez, you know, Chuck Liddell.
00:37:03.000
Brian goes, bro, there are some tough guys around here.
00:37:13.000
In the transition, Derek Lewis cracked him with a right hand.
00:37:32.000
Yeah, you don't even want to be in the same room as Cain Velasquez, dude.
00:37:42.000
Phil Barone, when he knocked out Dave Manet, he's like, I'm the best ever!
00:37:49.000
That, by the way, is one of the best ever knockouts.
00:37:59.000
And Barone was like literally keeping his body standing up.
00:38:06.000
I got all my money together to buy these bullshit tickets with my best friend.
00:38:10.000
And they were taking pictures outside the Caesars Palace.
00:38:20.000
And I didn't want to take a picture with Barone.
00:38:29.000
Turns around, gets in my face, goes, yo bro, you just called me a prick?
00:38:40.000
He takes the picture, but he's staring off at like some girl's ass.
00:38:45.000
And that's the first time I ever met Phil Barone.
00:39:21.000
When I walk down, I'm like, man, fuck that guy.
00:39:52.000
But you were just fucking around, man, you know?
00:39:56.000
Listen, man, my feelings got hurt because I'm not in the EA Sports game, so they asked me what I thought of it.
00:40:01.000
A fan asked me what I thought of it, and I give my...
00:40:08.000
And so, you know, I'm not going to say what I re-said, but, you know, I said some bad things about not being in the game because my feelings were hurt.
00:40:14.000
But then I went and said, hey, listen, Fire in the Kid fans, tweet EA Sports and tell them how much you love for me to be in the game.
00:40:33.000
You can take something that we say out of context over the course of a long show.
00:40:38.000
Fucking around and talking shit and having fun.
00:40:48.000
So there's a UFC party I went to at some club in, who knows, in Vegas, right?
00:40:52.000
I walk in, there's the table, and it's Cain Velasquez.
00:40:56.000
And when I say I walk in and say, fuck that guy, it's because I want what he has.
00:41:00.000
Fuck that guy means I'd love to fight him, I want what he has, and I work just as hard as he does, if not harder.
00:41:08.000
Hopefully you'll see him one day across the ring and you can't have reverence for him.
00:41:12.000
No, and hopefully one day he comes into a party and looks at me and says, man, fuck Brendan Chubb.
00:41:23.000
If it comes to Derek Lewis, just stay out of his way.
00:41:26.000
It's just a thing where, you know, when you take things out of context.
00:41:49.000
I mean, to combine the two of them and the professionalism.
00:42:16.000
So he's trying to set himself up for a title shot.
00:42:28.000
There's a lot of guys kind of waiting in line and stuff.
00:42:36.000
I would be surprised if Homeboy got knocked out because it's a 205. Real small heavyweight.
00:43:08.000
Has there ever been a heavyweight that doesn't hit hard?
00:43:48.000
Well, and we certainly appreciate your support.
00:43:50.000
Now, Wednesday night, you're on Fox Sports 1. You've got a gold boy promotion.
00:44:01.000
Doesn't look like he took any shots to the face at all, actually.
00:44:06.000
Like, a lot of guys that have long boxing careers start getting depressed.
00:44:11.000
And a lot of them start seeking, like, help with...
00:44:15.000
They're dopamine levels using the wrong shit, like alcohol and cocaine.
00:44:24.000
After our loss, I was like, I might need to check myself.
00:44:27.000
You'll be able to fight at 205. I might need to go into rehab.
00:44:39.000
She was like, listen, the only way you're going to hit this is if you put on these stockings and put some lipstick on.
00:44:44.000
I'm putting on some stockings and some lipstick to hit that.
00:44:55.000
Who was the guy who brought the girl up and she had her phone, her iPhone?
00:45:09.000
Just all kinds of nasty stuff when he was having sex with everyone.
00:45:29.000
That one right there that you just saw him drop that dude?
00:45:31.000
Yeah, you see him drop him, but that was a close fight, man.
00:45:33.000
And then all you do is see the highlights because he's fighting Floyd Mayweather next.
00:45:43.000
And then Floyd Mayweather just put a clinic on him.
00:45:51.000
Yeah, well, to fight Floyd Mayweather at the weight they fought in.
00:45:54.000
You think he cuts too much or he's not fast enough?
00:46:10.000
The only time I've ever seen him hurt was Shane Mosley.
00:46:13.000
That was the only time I've ever seen him really hit.
00:46:26.000
Well, I definitely want to see the Floyd Mayweather-Sugar Shane Mosley rematch.
00:46:30.000
Although I met Sugar Shane at STK. Boy, a little punchy.
00:46:38.000
A few years back, I ran into Terry Norris at a boxing event, and it was super depressing.
00:46:44.000
I hadn't seen him in forever, and all of a sudden I see...
00:46:50.000
Oh, helping guys with injuries coming off of a war, probably.
00:47:16.000
I didn't say a word when that was there and I was just super into it.
00:47:24.000
My friend who came up with me with this show, I told you that I got an ear beating this weekend, this guy trying to tell me how can I make this show.
00:47:34.000
But he's like, do you think it could be a show?
00:47:35.000
I'm like, dude, there's a show about a guy that makes pools.
00:47:44.000
Those Pawn Star shows, not Pawn Star shows, the storage stores, they fill those lockers up.
00:47:52.000
There's a guy who got fired from one of those shows and he ratted them all out.
00:47:57.000
I'll tell you right now, if you tell me Team Mom's scripted, I'm going to freak out.
00:48:02.000
If bitches are getting pregnant just for the show, I'm about to freak out.
00:48:05.000
Well, I guarantee you there are some girls out there that are young and dumb who would get pregnant to be on TV. For sure.
00:48:13.000
Hey, MTV, if you think that made people not want to have babies, it did the exact opposite.
00:48:18.000
I get more Instagram followers by getting pregnant and getting on MTV? 100% blow your load in me.
00:48:23.000
Well, they're not doing it because they're trying to save the world.
00:48:27.000
I mean, I hate when they're like, We're just trying to let everyone know.
00:48:30.000
It's like Team Prexy is a serious problem this day and age.
00:48:39.000
I was just looking at Daniel Cormier in a suit and there's no reason he should be as tough as he is.
00:48:56.000
He just doesn't look like, you know, he's so amazing and such a killer and has been so dominant.
00:49:01.000
It's just not what you, when you look at him in a suit, you're like, well, he looks like a thick guy.
00:49:10.000
Because he'll see a little jiu-jitsu guy and be like, God, I bet that guy would rip your dick off.
00:49:18.000
You know, do you have any idea what Cormier would do to Conan?
00:49:25.000
3 o'clock in the morning, drunk, standing outside a fucking pizza place.
00:49:41.000
And the mind of a world-class wrestler like that is something that...
00:49:56.000
Yeah, he actually talked about that, the UFC jitters.
00:50:01.000
He didn't have them with Dan fucking Henderson.
00:50:13.000
Why'd he pick him up and body slam him like that?
00:50:31.000
Brian said, we're in better shape than anybody.
00:50:39.000
I can't stand when guys wear three-piece suits on TV. I don't know.
00:50:49.000
They got me the collared shirts that are form-fitted and the pants that are fitted to my legs and all that shit.
00:50:56.000
And the jacket, I wore it a couple times and I'm like, this is just too goofy.
00:51:01.000
You want to put your jacket on for this interview?
00:51:04.000
Is it going to make it better if I have a jacket on?
00:51:12.000
Behind me, people in their underwear about to shin kick each other in the face.
00:51:16.000
And you want me to wear a jacket like I'm selling insurance.
00:51:25.000
It's a weird thing, our cultural desires to all have the same fucking outfits on if we're being serious or classy or doing business.
00:51:33.000
I have a suit on, so listen to what I'm saying.
00:51:39.000
Apparently, if I have a v-neck on, I'm playing grab ass.
00:51:56.000
Did you see his show when he was doing Broadway stuff?
00:52:02.000
I think so, because he's doing that bullshit promotion thing now.
00:52:09.000
You know, I mean, it's one of those things like...
00:52:15.000
It was essentially like a hack stand-up comedy act.
00:52:22.000
Yeah, not only did he make so much money out of it, Michael Chiklis, that guy from The Shield, he actually performed it for a while.
00:52:29.000
He was selling it so other guys could perform it.
00:52:35.000
It was like they were selling it as a theater show.
00:52:38.000
But it was essentially like kind of a hacky stand-up comedy act.
00:52:51.000
It's like, you know, I mean, I guess it's probably well done if people enjoy it.
00:53:00.000
I saw the original guy who wrote it do it and so then now he just licenses it out to other actors.
00:53:12.000
He basically draws the distinction between hunters and gatherers.
00:53:14.000
And the difference is when men go to shop, for example, they're linear.
00:53:19.000
They're going to find it and kill it and take the jeans and leave.
00:53:21.000
Women, when they go shop, they want to touch things, smell it.
00:53:33.000
I don't like to rush and fucking grab jeans from Target.
00:53:43.000
These are Japanese down and these are not from Target.
00:53:58.000
So you can't buy just like regular sweatpants from freaking Sam's Club.
00:54:02.000
Yeah, I buy things that are, like, certain brands that I can buy, like Lucky Jeans.
00:54:07.000
I can buy, like, Lucky Jeans, but I have to buy the waist too big.
00:54:10.000
I have a 32-inch waist, so I buy, like, a 33 or 34-inch waist.
00:54:25.000
It would start about two in the morning, just...
00:54:38.000
By the way, I got a new mouthpiece, so you don't have to worry about that anymore.
00:54:44.000
I got a mouthpiece that presses my tongue down.
00:54:47.000
And it keeps my tongue from falling back in my mouth.
00:54:53.000
Like someone's trying to put their dick down your mouth.
00:55:01.000
Yeah, but that's what I'm trying to avoid doing.
00:55:03.000
Yeah, and then there's also a surgery that you can get where they take out your tonsils and your adenoids.
00:55:09.000
Or you just keep snoring and you go on with life, all right?
00:55:14.000
They also say that about the fucking nose thing.
00:55:16.000
The deviated septum can't get me from doing it for a long time.
00:55:22.000
I mean, my nose was a little sensitive, but I was rolling six weeks later, and I was breathing great.
00:55:38.000
Well, you probably went back to the gym like a week later and started getting punched in the face.
00:55:47.000
Yeah, when I was five years old, smashed my nose, shattered it.
00:55:53.000
And then my whole life was wrestling, martial arts.
00:55:56.000
I got hit in the face who knows how many times.
00:55:58.000
I know I broke my nose at least probably ten, a dozen times.
00:56:08.000
My nose actually got wider after the surgery because...
00:56:12.000
When he cut me open, this guy was a real wizard.
00:56:20.000
And he put these forms, these things, these plastic splints and shoved it.
00:56:29.000
And I explain, you know, like I do martial arts and stuff and I can't breathe out of my nose and all this different jazz.
00:56:35.000
And he's like, you know, we're going to open it wide.
00:56:39.000
We're going to trim down what's called the turbinates, all these different things.
00:56:42.000
So he, like, cut me open and took out all this scar tissue.
00:56:48.000
He had, like, a plate of all the shit that he pulled out of my nose.
00:56:52.000
And then he stuffed these plastic things in that sort of wedged my nose open and then stuffed these foam inserts in place.
00:57:00.000
I had the same thing, but my nose collapsed, and he had to take a piece of cartilage and put it under my nose.
00:57:10.000
And I'm telling you that for two weeks, my nose, look, my nose, I look like a pig.
00:57:19.000
Brian, but they don't take cartilage from other people's body and put it in your body.
00:57:23.000
They must have taken it from my nose, but he said I had to take a piece of cartilage and put it under your nose because it collapsed.
00:57:28.000
They don't take cartilage from your nose and put it in your nose.
00:57:33.000
So they just showed the Ultimate Fighter, the hometown, where they go to their hometown and show them.
00:57:48.000
I literally had to have my nose glass and they had to put it under.
00:57:52.000
And so my nose was up like this as patty for two weeks.
00:57:55.000
And I said, is my nose going to come back to normal?
00:58:00.000
And my nose is a little more turned up than it was, by the way.
00:58:15.000
It's a great operation, though, if you get it done correctly and it takes.
00:58:21.000
So they showed the Ultimate Fighter where they go hometown.
00:58:30.000
Made it all the way to the finale on Ultimate Fighter.
00:58:33.000
They come to your hometown, you're training to get ready for the fight, and they go into your background, your life, stuff like that.
00:58:39.000
And my thing on there, I was talking about how Roy Nelson, who was a former world chairman of all these fights, has never fought anybody like me.
00:58:50.000
I was like, don't worry, he's never fought anyone like me.
00:58:54.000
He fought Andre Oloski, he fought freaking everybody.
00:59:03.000
Well, you talk shit, but I love the fact that you admit that you talk shit.
00:59:16.000
It's important if you're gonna talk shit, to be honest about it.
00:59:22.000
It was a really good book for like three-quarters of the way in and then it became shit.
00:59:28.000
But apparently the whole time they were making the book for a miniseries.
00:59:42.000
Vampires or zombies, but I prefer to be a vampire if I had to pick one.
00:59:46.000
I don't know if you guys are thinking about that.
00:59:55.000
Like, can I get on there even though I'm not a farmer and just clean house with these farmer bitches?
01:00:00.000
Just like, listen girl, I know you're looking for a farmer to send her dick pics, but from Marina Del Rey, just on the ocean with a dick.
01:00:24.000
Like, is there going to be repercussions since I'm not a farmer and I'm trying to slang all these bitches on farmers only?
01:00:29.000
No, if you're into dating farmers, you know, like maybe the girls are not just into farmers, they're into guys who like farmer girls.
01:00:36.000
But is there like one farmer girl who's just a beast on there, none of these...
01:00:46.000
Yeah, there's like some Misha Tate looking farmer.
01:01:01.000
I'm going to sign up for that when we need you.
01:01:05.000
100% there's someone like that out there, right?
01:01:06.000
I mean, you do stand about in Minnesota and places like that.
01:01:10.000
Just innocent, just has no idea what's going on.
01:01:21.000
You're just trying to be nice, trying to be nice the whole time.
01:01:23.000
Okay, so Eddie Gordon, who is, this is Matt Serra's guy, and he's fighting out of Ray Longo's camp.
01:01:31.000
And then Diego Lima, who's Douglas Lima, who's the Bellator champion.
01:01:38.000
Diego Lima had some fucking good fights in the house.
01:01:48.000
We had some interesting conversations about dating.
01:01:59.000
How many times did you talk about pussy in 40 minutes?
01:02:06.000
Have you ever seen the cover of Fighters Magazine?
01:02:29.000
So you know someone is definitely in fucked up if they get knocked down.
01:02:35.000
Whenever Eve Levine comes into your back room and he's like, listen, I'll be your referee.
01:02:38.000
You're like, damn, I better be on it this fight.
01:02:41.000
I'm about to get my ass whooped if he's done it.
01:02:42.000
He stopped the Alexis Davis fight the right time when Ronda had her out.
01:03:05.000
If you scroll up, you can see what it says about Bruce Buffer.
01:03:22.000
He told me, Brendan, why don't you get down to Malibu and we'll find some bitches?
01:03:33.000
Let's get to this, because these are two good fighters.
01:03:50.000
I'm assuming he has good jiu-jitsu training with Matt Serra.
01:04:13.000
I love that uppercut through under the armpit from the side.
01:04:23.000
I mean, that's how Fedor got knocked out by Henderson.
01:04:31.000
Yeah, he brought it, planted it, built a forest with it, cut the forest down, made houses with it.
01:04:42.000
He's definitely got a little bit of fat on his body.
01:04:45.000
Yeah, he's also got a lot of muscle on his body.
01:05:18.000
You'll see he hits him in the back of the head.
01:05:28.000
In the back, they go, if you're in transition, you turn your head and you get hit on the back of the head.
01:05:37.000
So he took about four that he probably shouldn't have.
01:05:44.000
You know what's kind of crazy when it comes to back of the head?
01:05:48.000
When you think about a head kick, you're wrapping around.
01:05:50.000
You're completely targeting the back of the head.
01:05:53.000
The thing is, though, like they said, it's in transition.
01:05:59.000
They're like, listen, man, if it's in transition, you're moving, it hits you in the back of the head.
01:06:33.000
Why do you say you're wrong when you don't know?
01:06:48.000
You know, give or take, I meant 35. Come on, guys.
01:07:17.000
I just rode my bike through Venice, and I was scared as shit.
01:07:26.000
But they say your chances of crashing on your bike is 99% the first year you buy one.
01:07:33.000
Every biker will tell you it's a matter of time.
01:07:41.000
He slid off his bike and hit a curb and hit his head.
01:07:50.000
I got out, jacked him off, jumped back in my car.
01:08:03.000
Oh, I know how this guy on the left feels right now, losing the Ultimate Fighter.
01:08:10.000
Put a resume on after the Ultimate Fighter on Monsters.com.
01:08:15.000
It's a job search place where you upload your resume and people try to find you for a job.
01:08:51.000
Then they tell me, oh, we want you to fight in your hometown.
01:09:14.000
Most nervous I've ever been, because I thought if I lost that, I wouldn't have a career.
01:09:21.000
You lose that one, the UFC goes, oh, we're good, man.
01:09:24.000
Has anybody ever gone from the UFC, gotten cut, came back...
01:09:39.000
Who's like the best guy that's been cut and looks sensational in other organizations?
01:09:47.000
Well, at one point, Nate Marquardt, who at Strikeforce won, beat Tyron Woodley.
01:09:55.000
Yeah, because Zufa owned him at the time and gave him the title shot.
01:10:01.000
Anthony Johnson got cut, but that was mostly a weight issue thing.
01:10:08.000
When you get cut from the UFC and you move on, especially a young guy, I'm trying to think who does well.
01:10:15.000
Melvin Gillard just won, but that's really his first one.
01:10:32.000
It's so interesting to see different guys and their different weight cutting strategies and Some guys believe in drinking distilled water and some guys say you shouldn't drink distilled water.
01:10:43.000
They're trying to rid their body of electrolytes so it's easy to...
01:10:51.000
The idea behind it is that you rid your body of all these electrolytes, keep pumping it with fluids, and then the fluids just flush out of your system quicker and then you can replenish them quicker.
01:11:06.000
You know, I gotta have Dolce on and talk to him about that show.
01:11:09.000
Yeah, I'd say whatever Dolce's doing, probably stick to that, everybody.
01:11:13.000
Yeah, Tiago Alves never looked better in his last fight.
01:11:16.000
That's another thing, a lot of guys are coming in.
01:11:26.000
When he was champ, when he was competing at 205, he was 203 pounds.
01:11:38.000
The week of the fight, they said he could go to 170. I was asking them.
01:11:41.000
I was in the locker room or the training room with them.
01:11:46.000
People ask me about cutting to 205 all the time.
01:11:48.000
When you go down a weight class, everyone's skills get better and everyone's way faster.
01:11:53.000
So my advantage at heavyweight is cardio, speed, right?
01:12:00.000
It doesn't become your advantage, really, I don't think.
01:12:02.000
This comes a point of diminishing returns, right?
01:12:11.000
Looks like he's wearing eyeliner, but he's just got that natural sort of dark thing on.
01:12:28.000
I'm picking up weights and I'm doing it on some fake grass.
01:12:48.000
Yeah, invited me to come run with the NFL. Did you do it?
01:13:01.000
I don't want to have to try to run against the Denver Broncos.
01:13:15.000
Because not only are you not going to win, but they're dicks and are slapping the face as they run by me.
01:13:24.000
Hey, even if I was, it doesn't make me feel good about myself.
01:13:26.000
How many times a week are you working out, Brian?
01:13:47.000
That'd be a weird thing to make up, wouldn't it?
01:13:49.000
I know, but you definitely made up the part about them taking cartilage out of your nose and putting it in your nose.
01:13:54.000
They took cartilage and they put it under right here.
01:14:02.000
If you're a doctor, please write in about how that happened.
01:14:05.000
They take a plastic splint, and they do put it right there where you're talking about.
01:14:15.000
He said, when you were under, you were under for a long time, your nose collapsed.
01:14:22.000
And I had to take, I had to add a piece of cartilage to it.
01:14:45.000
Things get real shady when you're talking about something wrong.
01:14:52.000
In Brian's defense, he is at the boxing gym all the time.
01:15:02.000
If I don't want to work out, I get a little crazy.
01:15:04.000
By the way, your boy Lauren took me through a workout for an hour in that Denver altitude, and I didn't lift a lot of weights.
01:15:42.000
Well, the dude has good striking and good jiu-jitsu too.
01:15:48.000
The guy with the beard or the guy who are you talking about?
01:15:53.000
He's the guy that Cerrone KO'd in his last fight.
01:16:08.000
I mean, you're seeing these guys in other organizations.
01:16:14.000
You're seeing every week, like, every time there's a new car, there's some new guy who's coming up.
01:16:20.000
At the UFC Expo, obviously it's the UFC Expo, so everyone's there looking for UFC fighters.
01:16:30.000
If you're a popular fighter, you can't walk through.
01:16:50.000
People might kind of watch, but not really unless you're Rampage Jackson.
01:16:53.000
For now, do you think that if Bellator sticks around and changes its goofy fucking name?
01:16:58.000
I think, look, they're on Spike TV. Oh, nice elbow.
01:17:02.000
And I think the biggest move they've ever made, Hiram Scott Coker.
01:17:10.000
I mean, I love Rampage, but you need to build your own.
01:17:15.000
Right, but that was how they built that pay-per-view.
01:17:20.000
The reason why they did it was because of Tito Ortiz and because of Rampage.
01:17:32.000
That was another thing that I talked to Duke Rufus about, and Delegrate says the same thing.
01:17:55.000
What Delegrate said and what Duke Rufus said is like the tie cups are steel.
01:18:00.000
And so when someone kicks you, it hurts their foot.
01:18:03.000
Yeah, and it just completely snugs up against your junk.
01:18:14.000
You said it feels uncomfortable and it wedges you.
01:18:22.000
But after the fight is over, first of all, the area near your butthole must smell awful.
01:19:01.000
Did you remember the part where I said, I heard this was a good fight?
01:19:04.000
And I said, yeah, someone gets kicked in the nuts.
01:19:11.000
If we're talking about you, you'd be about the details.
01:19:18.000
In Brian's world, he had a nose job in The Rocks, 25 years old.
01:19:27.000
I can't tell you when I told people we were going to do this, but look at that beautiful right hook.
01:19:35.000
Do you understand that Brian Callen's like my brother, you fucking idiots?
01:19:46.000
He didn't have cartilage put in his fucking nose.
01:19:53.000
Probably really isn't a black belt in Taekwondo, but it's okay.
01:20:07.000
Oh my goodness, this is that movie about that fucking crazy asshole.
01:20:50.000
And apparently he knocks it out of a fucking park.
01:20:56.000
You need to make your body look way better if you want to play Mark Schultz, bitch.
01:21:05.000
It's because he's hanging out with Joe, what's his name?
01:21:08.000
He's the guy who looks great compared to Jonah Hill.
01:21:10.000
Well, he's like, yeah, I still kind of have it.
01:21:12.000
But if you notice in 22 Jump Street, and this kind of stuff I know is because I'm super vain, he had his shirt on the entire time.
01:21:19.000
From what I saw in that preview, he looked alright.
01:21:22.000
I mean, in my opinion, that's like offensive to me because if you've ever seen what Mark Schultz looks like, Mark Schultz, the wrestler, is a fucking animal.
01:21:31.000
Well, it'd be like The Rock playing Hercules and it's like a smooth build.
01:21:38.000
Well, Schultz, when he was in his prime, too, he used to grab guys, he used to get guys in illegal moves.
01:21:45.000
He'd use Kimuras, and he would hit a Kimura and just rip guys' shoulders off while he was taking them down.
01:21:54.000
I don't know the story of that movie, but I'll for sure buy a ticket to that.
01:21:58.000
It's a fascinating story because these guys were all broke, and DuPont would pay these guys to come to his compound.
01:22:05.000
He built this wrestling thing and wrestle with them and roll around with them and get all sweaty and gay with them.
01:22:18.000
And he wound up killing Dave Schultz, who was a great wrestler.
01:22:34.000
In the movie, he becomes a werewolf and he can fly.
01:22:52.000
Yeah, he's a cop and it's supposed to be a true story.
01:23:59.000
No, because you've got to put them in perspective.
01:24:05.000
I actually did watch it recently, about four years ago, and I was pretty damn scared.
01:24:09.000
In the middle, you were watching it, you were tweeting and checking your Instagram.
01:24:15.000
When I saw Delivers from Evil, when I saw that movie, I saw it at the marina theaters where there's that dining experience.
01:24:31.000
Chompy Chompers over here is on Twizzlers and Sour Patch Kids.
01:24:52.000
I don't have any characters, so I don't usually stick to my original.
01:24:59.000
Texas Chainsaw Massacre was pretty fucking scary, too, because it really pictures...
01:25:17.000
Dude, someone got attacked by a great white off the Manhattan Beach.
01:25:20.000
Yeah, but I think they were long-distance swimmers, right?
01:25:30.000
But they did say he was fishing, and the guy caught a great white.
01:25:38.000
40 minutes later, these long-distance swimmers swim between the rod and basically the shark, and the shark bit the dude.
01:25:50.000
I just want to get bit, just got to tell the story.
01:26:19.000
When I thought it was real, I was super scared.
01:26:22.000
It was a home camera, man, the way they filmed it.
01:26:24.000
It was pretty genius in that sense, but I didn't really.
01:26:28.000
But Blair Witch Project scared me a little bit.
01:26:38.000
We were doing the Laugh Stop, which doesn't exist anymore.
01:26:41.000
And these kids that worked at the movie theater across the street came to the show and they said, hey, do you guys want to go see the Blair Witch Project, just all of us in the movie theater?
01:26:59.000
After the show, you know, say goodbye to everybody.
01:27:14.000
Well, at first I was like, this is fucking goofy.
01:27:19.000
And then I saw it again in a movie with a bunch of people and it was whack.
01:27:29.000
Three-year-old was talking during the whole movie.
01:27:31.000
If you're alone in a big movie theater, you could die right there.
01:27:37.000
Nah, they were, you know, one kid had a nose ring and he weighed 80 pounds.
01:27:46.000
If anybody was getting hurt, it was going to be them.
01:27:56.000
July 18th and 19th, I'll be at the West Palm Beach Improv.
01:28:04.000
So are we officially hunting the last week in September?
01:28:25.000
This time it's going to be black-tailed deer in Alaska.
01:28:43.000
So it'll be like, I think the dates he gave me are like...
01:28:53.000
I think it's like the 29th, from the 29th on into October.
01:29:00.000
What are you guys, killing a black-tailed deer with bazookas or something?
01:29:15.000
I am in the gym all the time with Lauren Landau.
01:29:33.000
See, you talk about how many pull-ups you do, but what do you weigh?
01:29:38.000
You weigh about 165. You're a solid 163. About 165. I'm 170. And how many chin-ups can you do?
01:29:56.000
I said, one, you're suspended from being my friend for two days because he said CrossFit.
01:30:03.000
And the guys who do those, they do like 100. Well, I did.
01:30:06.000
You know, like Fedor, when he was a heavyweight, he used to do like 100 or 100. Really?
01:30:10.000
There's a video of Fedor doing kipping chin-ups.
01:30:14.000
Is that the one where he's in, like, the wilderness of Russia and he's, like, carrying wood and shit?
01:30:21.000
And he's in a sunga, like, he's in some whitey-tidies just fucking doing work.
01:30:25.000
Well, he used to wear black socks and fucking running shoes from the 80s.
01:30:30.000
Some New Balances with black socks and his whitey tighties.
01:30:34.000
But no one said shit because he's such a bastard.
01:30:36.000
Then I came to the gym and guys were in black socks and whitey tighties trying to do the same shit.
01:30:41.000
Well, it's not like they have Foot Locker in the middle of Russia.
01:30:48.000
You steal them from people who are running by you.
01:30:52.000
He used to do a lot of old school training methods.
01:31:00.000
It's interesting because I was watching some old Fedor fights.
01:31:08.000
Yeah, well, Fedor was just a different thing, man.
01:31:14.000
I was watching his fights recently, and he was much bigger back in the day.
01:31:23.000
More muscle than he did at the end of his career.
01:31:25.000
At the end of his career, he stopped lifting weights, done with the weights, he was just doing fight training.
01:31:30.000
But if you go back to the Fujita fight, he was thick traps, big shoulders, he was fucking strong as shit.
01:31:37.000
And somewhere along the line, he just got tired of lifting weights, I think.
01:31:48.000
He just did fight training only later on in his career.
01:31:51.000
I think he thought that technique was more important than physical strength, which is true for the most part.
01:32:01.000
I'm going to go in the gym and spend an hour lifting weights, throwing down weights, or I can be on the mat working on my boxing technique or jiu-jitsu in wrestling.
01:32:10.000
Well, you know what Steve Maxwell's thought on that is?
01:32:13.000
It was really interesting because Maxwell spent a lifetime with strength and conditioning, working with athletes.
01:32:19.000
He thinks that if you're going to lift weights for sports, you shouldn't lift weights like strength and conditioning style.
01:32:24.000
He thinks if you're doing like martial arts, if you're in the middle of like training technique, he goes, you should do like sets.
01:32:31.000
Like do sets of deadlifts, do sets of bench, do sets of chins.
01:32:38.000
He's like, you shouldn't work on your endurance.
01:32:40.000
Like, you shouldn't be, like, doing these fucking crazy strength and conditioning workouts while you're in camp, working out for fights.
01:32:46.000
He goes, you should lift weights to keep your muscle mass and to keep your strength, but all your conditioning should come from your kickboxing, should come from your wrestling, should come from your jiu-jitsu.
01:32:55.000
Yeah, actually, I'm actually going to Arizona on Thursday to meet with this new strength conditioning coach who Tim Tebow works with, and...
01:33:03.000
Yeah, I'm going out there with Tim, and he said the exact same thing.
01:33:08.000
He's like, you shouldn't have a session where you're working reps and stuff like that.
01:33:14.000
Yeah, these guys are saying that your skills are the most important thing, and your strength and all your physical strength, like the mass and size that you could put on and maintain.
01:33:26.000
But don't do strength and conditioning while you're in a fight camp.
01:33:32.000
Yeah, don't do that because you're not going to have the same energy to do your jiu-jitsu work.
01:33:36.000
Like when I was doing jiu-jitsu all the time, if I would lift weights, I could lift weights in the morning and do jiu-jitsu at night.
01:33:42.000
Because I would do like a set of bench and then I would sit around me and I would talk shit for five minutes and laugh and goof off.
01:33:50.000
So we would get all the strength workout in, but I still had energy to train at night.
01:33:55.000
Whereas like if I do my kettlebell routine that I do, If I do that shit, that's a wrap.
01:34:02.000
When you do strength training, do you do it twice a week when you're in camp?
01:34:07.000
But out of camp, like now I lift four or five times a week.
01:34:11.000
So when I go in camp, my body's going to break down.
01:34:14.000
I just try to keep it, you know what I'm saying?
01:34:17.000
But, like, people ask me, like, even younger fighters at RAINN or Grace Academy, like, oh, like, what should I be doing in the weight room, stuff like this?
01:34:25.000
But if you're a younger fighter, you shouldn't really waste your time in the weight room.
01:34:29.000
You don't get paid to bench and squat and power clean.
01:34:32.000
You get paid to submit bitches and knock them out.
01:34:34.000
So work on submitting and knocking bitches out.
01:34:48.000
He does have a set of nipples on him, doesn't he?
01:34:59.000
And this is like what we're talking about, like the high level of guys that are coming up, man.
01:35:05.000
I mean, you go back to the day when Forrest was fighting Stefan Bonner, and then look at these guys, and you're dealing with some pretty high level guys now.
01:36:05.000
The two tough ones have just been some whoopings, son.
01:36:15.000
Yeah, for people who don't know, there's a bunch of different ways to get those nipples.
01:36:25.000
Not to put you on the spot, what are the other ways again?
01:36:40.000
There was one guy that fought in the UFC once that had a serious problem.
01:36:48.000
When he was younger, I guess he did a lot of steroids.
01:36:51.000
He was jumping up and down inside the octagon and his boobs were flopping and flopping.
01:37:11.000
That fight was about 15 seconds long and his hand wraps came apart.
01:37:29.000
It doesn't take away from his great performance.
01:37:38.000
That place, last time I worked out there, smells like ammonia.
01:38:03.000
There was a little talk about you fighting Wesley a long time ago, wasn't there?
01:38:20.000
It was Campbell McLaren, who was the guy who was the original producer for The Ultimate Fighter, calls me up out of nowhere and says, this is going to sound crazy.
01:38:30.000
But, would you be interested in fighting Wesley Snipes?
01:38:35.000
And so then they start explaining what's going on.
01:38:44.000
I think what was going on was that the IRS was coming down on him hard.
01:38:59.000
And I think he just thought I was just a grappler.
01:39:02.000
And then somewhere along the line, I don't know what happened, but he just decided not to do it.
01:39:07.000
You know, I think if you've never competed your whole life and you have these ideas, plus I think he's probably hanging around with a bunch of dudes who are taking Bolivian marching powder and like, you know what?
01:39:16.000
Just go in there and fuck everybody up, Wesley.
01:39:22.000
There's a lot of motherfuckers out there doing that karate, doing all kinds of martial arts, but they don't know what you know.
01:39:27.000
You got something special inside you, bro, and this is your time to shine.
01:39:32.000
He's probably crunk from Blade and doing all these stunts.
01:39:36.000
Well, if you talk to Patton Oswalt, Patton Oswalt did Blade with him, and apparently there was just bags of cocaine involved in the making of that.
01:39:45.000
Patton Oswalt has a whole bit he does about it.
01:39:47.000
About being on the set with Wesley, how fucked up he was.
01:39:54.000
He had three lines and he just killed vampires.
01:39:56.000
No, they pulled the lines from him, hired a double to do all the scenes.
01:40:05.000
I don't know what happened, but half that movie, like Patton Oswalt has a whole bit about how they brought in the way cooler black guy to pretend to be played, but that guy didn't get to talk.
01:40:16.000
Yeah, he also had some issues with a bunch of questionable characters that told him not to pay taxes.
01:40:22.000
So, you weren't scared at all about a coked up Wesley Snipes that just got done doing Blade?
01:40:38.000
But when he's all coked up, just like fidgeting, like freaking out?
01:40:46.000
A guy who has never done jujitsu, who weighs 170 pounds, if I grab you...
01:41:05.000
No, I don't think so, B. I get this, the gable grip around the waist, and then I squeeze.
01:41:24.000
I was planning on failing every drug test, by the way.
01:41:38.000
I do all my training high, so I was trying to figure out whether I was going to fight high.
01:41:56.000
I think it makes me more sensitive, makes me more aware of what's going on, makes me more focused, like completely zone in.
01:42:08.000
Bro, I'm telling you, if you did it, you might not.
01:42:11.000
Never, if you have some time off and you're going to do jujitsu, you do.
01:42:15.000
And so you know you're not going to get tested.
01:42:24.000
I mean, I don't know if you'd love it, but I would assume you'd love it.
01:42:35.000
Everyone's talking about their shitty dad stories, which I had nothing to contribute to.
01:42:50.000
But then I was like, oh, well, your dad's very much in your life.
01:42:53.000
He goes, no, but my dad's all successful when he calls me.
01:42:57.000
That guy's a nice guy, so let's not talk too much shit about him.
01:43:03.000
Sometimes dudes get around guys like you guys that tell great stories, and they try to throw their own story in it, and they don't realize their story sucks.
01:43:11.000
You know, you're dealing with Eddie Bravo, who's a great storyteller.
01:43:34.000
Nothing's worse when someone doesn't know what they're talking about, especially with experiences like that.
01:43:41.000
So when you guys talk about these shitty childhoods, I can't really jump in.
01:43:45.000
There's nothing worse than when a guy, oh, I hear that, bro.
01:43:49.000
One time I went to McDonald's, my dad didn't buy me a fucking Happy Meal.
01:43:53.000
All those presents at Christmas, I was like, another one?
01:44:02.000
But yeah, that one dude's story was not so good.
01:44:14.000
And even his friend goes, Hey, bro, maybe pipe down.
01:44:32.000
He was trying to explain something to me later on that night.
01:44:47.000
About 3.30 in the morning, you'll get cornered by some people.
01:45:00.000
Like I said, when people are around guys like you guys that tell great stories and they want to contribute and tell a great story too, and they're just not used to being around...
01:45:08.000
You know, you're around a fucking world-class stand-up comedian like Brian Cowan who tells great fucking stories.
01:45:19.000
He had that false sense of reality because he's drunk.
01:45:22.000
There's nothing like being around Joey Diaz when he starts telling stories.
01:45:31.000
Why can't you bring him in one of the fight companions?
01:45:50.000
If you saw Big Pussy, you saw him, he looks different.
01:45:54.000
He's making more money now with his stand-up than ever, and it's all because of the internet.
01:45:58.000
It's all because of podcasts, because he can be himself.
01:46:00.000
He just never runs out of stories, and he's got a fucking personality that goes on for days.
01:46:05.000
This is BJ Penn and Frankie Edgar, and I'm going to piss, so please be kind when I leave the room.
01:46:10.000
We're about to see two fucking legends go down.
01:46:30.000
He's having knee surgery and then waiting for his title shot.
01:46:50.000
He got disoriented, and then more punches happened.
01:47:17.000
To be a U.S. citizen, you should have to know who Brian Stanton is.
01:47:22.000
He could run for president and fucking win, by the way.
01:47:29.000
If we went in a time machine to six months ago...
01:47:45.000
Brian's more clear because he was in freaking doing tours and killing bitches.
01:47:51.000
You get real clear when you start killing bitches.
01:47:53.000
There's no stuttering when you're ordering Stan.
01:47:59.000
They're going to show Eddie Gore and Diego Lima again.
01:48:06.000
Because the last fight was a one-round knockout, too.
01:48:14.000
And tell you what, man, Diego Lima is tough as shit.
01:48:21.000
This is where I should have stopped right there, I think.
01:48:25.000
If you wanted to talk about how evil cage fighting is, look at this.
01:48:37.000
When they start looking back in the future about when society crumbled, this is like the first steps.
01:48:51.000
You had a good answer when somebody said, why is it so popular?
01:48:55.000
And you said it's the closest you can come to watching two men kill each other with their bare hands.
01:49:01.000
If Eve Levine or Herb Dean's not in there, and no one stops it, someone's dying.
01:49:05.000
Yeah, the guy's out cold, and you're stomping his head until it's jello.
01:49:10.000
The only reason why the ref is there is to make sure that doesn't happen.
01:49:24.000
I was thinking that this morning, because I left this morning...
01:49:26.000
And when I flew out, man, the airport was mobbed.
01:49:54.000
I worked out with Della Grotte, and yesterday I lifted.
01:49:57.000
I worked out with the same time as Rhonda's girl, Marina.
01:50:13.000
Yeah, she was putting her strength and conditioning workout.
01:50:15.000
She had a phone in front of her with all of her routines on it.
01:50:24.000
We're going to watch Frankie Edgar and BJ Penn.
01:50:31.000
Frankie Edgar's wife, Frankie Edgar's mom, Frankie Edgar's dad.
01:50:37.000
BJ went down to Jose Aldo's camp, I guess, right?
01:50:40.000
Well, he did a little bit of training at Novo Uñao, but he did most of the training in Hawaii for this.
01:50:46.000
Yeah, I mean, Ian McCall, who went with BJ down to Hilo to train with him, did some training.
01:50:56.000
He said, and Ian has fantastic endurance, and he said BJ was outworking him.
01:51:03.000
He said he was blown away by how good a shape BJ's in.
01:51:05.000
Now, I've heard this a million fucking times before.
01:51:10.000
But what blew me away about this is that, first of all, they were going to fight at 145. Like, that's going to be a disaster.
01:51:18.000
But whatever he did, I don't know what he adjusted.
01:51:21.000
I would love to talk to him about it, how he changed his body.
01:51:24.000
But he got down where he was walking around like under 160. Dang.
01:51:29.000
And then the fight week, he was 149 fight week.
01:51:34.000
Yeah, and then he easily made 145. Frankie weighed 145.5.
01:51:43.000
So he had trouble making 55, BJ. I didn't know that.
01:51:51.000
He fought Nick Diaz, and he fought Rory McDonald.
01:51:54.000
That Rory McDonald fight was hard to watch, and Rory's my boy.
01:52:05.000
The most down-to-earth, nicest guy I've ever met in the UFC, hands down.
01:52:14.000
He's a guy that has an incredible amount of pride.
01:52:22.000
He wants to get in there and be the BJ that he used to be.
01:52:28.000
You don't get to that point without having an ego.
01:52:29.000
Listen, everyone who fights in the UFC has an ego.
01:52:31.000
But if he could use that and motivate himself to get back in the kind of shape that he was back when he fought Diego Sanchez, back when he fought Sean Shirk, he was in insane condition back then.
01:53:03.000
The UFC, by the way, the UFC website is dog shit.
01:53:08.000
You can't go to the fighter until their fight is on.
01:53:12.000
Like, if you try to go to the fighter when their fight's not on, it takes you to the previous fight.
01:53:19.000
Like, you go to the card, and when you go to the card, it shows, like, the fighters, and you try to...
01:53:26.000
Read the bio on them and it doesn't even allow you to click on it.
01:53:39.000
Okay, let's see if I can search Fighters BJ Penn.
01:53:42.000
I'm saying BJ's probably 35. You could just do BJ Age on Google.
01:53:44.000
I'm saying 34. I'm going to say 36. Okay, let's try here.
01:54:02.000
At the lighter weights especially, heavier guys can last longer.
01:54:06.000
They oftentimes, especially heavyweights, mature a little bit later and are still effective.
01:54:21.000
It hurts to say because I love BJ. Do you know what the odds are?
01:54:37.000
He's got some of the best footwork in the UFC. I'd say the heart.
01:54:52.000
Bro, his coach, Mark Henry, I worked with him before I fought Cro Cop.
01:54:57.000
I was with Ricola Almeida, his striking coach, Mark Henry.
01:55:05.000
If you watch Mark Henry in the corner, he's drenched in sweat by the end of the fight.
01:55:09.000
It's literally like he has a control stick, and he's doing this with Frankie.
01:55:14.000
He's just shouting out, Frankie, they have a whole system in code.
01:55:18.000
He'll go, 1-3-4-5, 1-3-4-5, and It changes every fight so he can't pick up on it.
01:55:23.000
It's like his coach is Peyton Manning and is running the offense.
01:55:27.000
And he's so nervous before the fight because he feels like it's banking on him because he calls every combination you see.
01:55:34.000
There's no one else like him in the UFC, coaching-wise.
01:55:53.000
No, Jersey Shore came out and I was like, fuck that.
01:56:09.000
The calluses on my feet were ripping off because I'd work in his basement nonstop at night.
01:56:16.000
I don't think there's another coach in the world who works harder than Mark Henry.
01:56:34.000
Do you base where you train by the size of the guys?
01:56:43.000
First I find the coaches and then I always think that at least if there's big guys in the area, I'll at least get to them somehow.
01:56:50.000
Honestly, I thought me and Verdun would work together more.
01:56:53.000
When I first came out to give a trial run, there was word that me and Verdun were going to fight each other.
01:56:59.000
Me and him started talking shit to each other on Twitter.
01:57:02.000
He tweeted me like, I'll fight you on the moon.
01:57:05.000
I put, okay, or we can just do in Las Vegas September 21st, not the moon.
01:57:22.000
Yeah, so we were going to fight, but then he was like, nah, man.
01:57:25.000
We might have to fight, so he doesn't want to work together.
01:57:33.000
They're both in the heavyweights in the UFC. Are you paying attention?
01:57:39.000
It's kind of weird looking at him all skinny like this.
01:57:43.000
His walkout's my favorite in the UFC. He gets so emotional, sometimes he cries when he walks out, huh?
01:57:53.000
Looking at him, just looking at his face gets me fired up.
01:58:01.000
They could not live in more contrasting places.
01:58:04.000
One of them lives in paradise, the other one lives in fucking Jersey.
01:58:17.000
Big, thick, padded gloves, but they still have...
01:58:19.000
I'm telling you, I don't know if you'll be able to pick it up on the broadcast, but you'll literally hear Mark shouting the entire rounds.
01:58:31.000
Because they don't want people picking up on it.
01:58:37.000
Oh, Mark Henry, just off me, just when we worked together, I'm talking this notebook right here.
01:58:46.000
I was like, damn, I need to go study this for about a year.
01:58:48.000
So what does it feel like when you leave that and you train with someone else and you don't have all that?
01:58:56.000
Nope, I got a guy now here in LA. Does the same shit?
01:59:05.000
Yeah, we need to talk about that when you shut this off.
01:59:17.000
I almost thought about staying in Vegas just for this fight.
01:59:22.000
I'll tell you right now, Fedor could be fighting in the prime, could be fighting a prime freaking whoever, and I wouldn't have stayed in Vegas.
01:59:33.000
Fedor could have been fighting Cro Cop in the prime, and I would have went home to LA right now.
01:59:46.000
I would have paid double for my ticket today to get home.
01:59:50.000
But out of all the fighters that I wish I had seen live, he's number one, Fedor.
01:59:54.000
Ooh, I saw him live when he beat up Mark Coleman in Vegas.
02:00:15.000
I mean, they're fighting at 145. You know, BJ fought heavyweight.
02:00:22.000
It was over 205. It was called The Rock, correct?
02:00:28.000
I mean, he did fight in Hawaii, Rumble on the Rock.
02:00:30.000
Rumble on the Rock, that's what I was referring to.
02:00:36.000
He fought Gomi in Hawaii when Gomi was a legend, and he beat the piss out of Gomi.
02:01:03.000
I'm a big fan of Bruce Lee, too, but I think all this Bruce Lee talk's getting out of hand.
02:01:10.000
People are saying he's the greatest this, the greatest.
02:01:14.000
He had some really good ideas about martial arts.
02:01:16.000
Did some great stuff with Jeet Kondo, but however, he never officially competed.
02:01:21.000
There's nothing on I think I said this on my podcast, The Fighting Kid, or on yours, I forget.
02:01:27.000
People bombard me with tweets like, how dare you?
02:01:37.000
However, I can't talk about him and BJ Penn in the same sentence.
02:01:54.000
When I came along in the 1980s, when I was doing martial arts, when I first started, they still had this issue where people were loyal to their style.
02:02:05.000
And Bruce Lee was the very first guy, and it was even before I started training.
02:02:09.000
The very first guy who came along and said, that's all nonsense.
02:02:14.000
And he built his own style that was based on incorporating all these different martial arts.
02:02:21.000
And Enter the Dragon, he actually does an arm bar, too.
02:02:37.000
They still really don't know how he died, right?
02:02:39.000
They say he mixed, like, aspirin with painkillers.
02:02:44.000
Like, some sort of aneurysm or something like that.
02:02:45.000
Obviously, you guys don't know about the Chinese mafia.
02:02:50.000
I literally, I Googled it because I was getting so much heat about Bruce Lee.
02:02:53.000
And they said he was at, like, some director's house.
02:02:58.000
Then we went home, he took a painkiller, and it killed him.
02:03:03.000
And you'll see Mark Henry running right behind him.
02:03:34.000
I thought it was very close, but I thought Frankie won.
02:03:40.000
Man, I can't believe this fight's about to go down.
02:03:47.000
Lee collapsed in Golden Harvest Studios in Hong Kong while doing dubbing work for Enter the Dragon.
02:03:52.000
Suffering from seizures and headaches, he was immediately rushed to Hong Kong Baptist Hospitals where doctors treated him with chicken bones and voodoo.
02:04:22.000
The same symptoms that occurred in his first collapse were repeated on the day of his death.
02:04:29.000
1973, Lee was in Hong Kong to have dinner with James Bond star George Lazenby, whom he intended to make a film.
02:04:36.000
According to Lee's wife Linda, he met with producer Raymond Chow at 2 p.m.
02:04:42.000
and drove together at home to the home of Lee's colleague, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
02:04:47.000
Three went over the script and then Chow left to attend a dinner meeting.
02:04:52.000
Team gave him an analgesic painkiller which contained aspirin and a muscle relaxant.
02:05:03.000
She came to the apartment but could not wake him up.
02:05:05.000
A doctor was summoned, spent 10 minutes attempting to revive him before sending him to an ambulance.
02:05:10.000
He was dead at the time he reached the hospital.
02:05:14.000
However, according to autopsy reports, his brain had swollen considerably.
02:05:18.000
So it was probably from fucking brain injuries from getting a beating.
02:05:27.000
The doctor stated that he had died from an allergic reaction to the muscle relaxant.
02:05:33.000
Which he described as a common ingredient in painkillers.
02:05:37.000
When doctors announced Lee's death, officially it was ruled death by misadventure.
02:05:44.000
So in other words, misadventure is a recreational use of drugs or something?
02:05:54.000
Never seen that before on BJ. Well, when he fought Diego.
02:06:02.000
Definitely going for BJ. Never root against BJ. I'm so fascinated right now.
02:06:16.000
I think he was one of the fastest ever to get his black belt, correct?
02:06:19.000
Not just black belt, won the world championships.
02:06:23.000
Won the Mundials as a black belt three years after he began training.
02:06:31.000
Well, he had incredible, always had incredible flexibility.
02:06:35.000
You know, that's one of the benefits that he's always had, dexterity and flexibility in his legs.
02:06:41.000
So instead of just being able to hold you with his arms, he holds dudes with his legs as well.
02:06:47.000
Guys who roll with him, they always come back and they go, his ground game is so freaky because of his legs.
02:07:07.000
He can do the craziest shit with his legs, put them in places without things that other people have to do where you have to grab your foot and put them in.
02:07:29.000
You know how Freddie Roach has worked with all these MMA guys?
02:07:34.000
I don't think he's worried about getting taken down.
02:07:40.000
Freddie Roach said BJ has the best boxing he's ever seen for an MMA guy.
02:07:45.000
Ooh, nice left hook there by BJ. Dude, BJ looks really tall.
02:07:56.000
Dude, he looks different than I've ever seen him before.
02:08:05.000
When you're that tall, the leg kick's there all night long.
02:08:09.000
Takedowns especially, but the leg kicks are just there.
02:08:57.000
Why else would you be on tippy toes inviting a takedown?
02:09:06.000
Did you notice that when he was throwing punches, when he was hitting the pads in the preview, he was standing straight up too?
02:09:16.000
Yeah, I thought so too, but it's almost like he's changed his style a little bit.
02:09:20.000
I wonder if he brought in someone new to work with.
02:09:29.000
Maybe he said, come on down to the ground, son.
02:09:51.000
Frankie tried to turn that corner back in the guard.
02:10:14.000
And locking guys up with one arm trapped, he's a master at that.
02:10:31.000
You ever see that fight Ensign and Randy Couture?
02:10:34.000
Ensign threw some gangster kicks off of his back from the butt scoot.
02:11:18.000
Learned that after two years of training with him.
02:11:41.000
Why, Frankie, are going to throw more leg kicks?
02:12:03.000
The most narrow I've ever seen in the UFC, besides the kid who just got knocked out, who's 6'5".
02:12:12.000
Yeah, but BJ's got his feet practically touching each other.
02:12:15.000
BJ's feet are touching each other and he's tippy toes.
02:12:26.000
Man, really, really interested to see how this plays out.
02:12:37.000
B.J. was able to stifle him in the guard, but Frankie kicked the shit out of his legs after he disengaged.
02:12:42.000
Frankie landed more, kicked, takedown, controlled him on the ground, although he was trying to pass.
02:12:47.000
See, how if you're a judge, when it goes to the ground, you can't pass and you do no damage.
02:13:14.000
And they should take into account striking, grappling, submissions.
02:13:19.000
You know, all those three things should be taken into account.
02:13:30.000
The other guy gets 9. The other guy gets 10 points of striking.
02:13:34.000
At what point are they going to make the change?
02:13:41.000
They're actually looking at some alternative scoring methods now.
02:13:47.000
I would like to see them do something about the gloves.
02:14:08.000
Goes through the single, makes it look like he's going to struggle for it, disengages and cracks you.
02:14:11.000
That's Mark Henry's thing, and they did it the first time B.J. fought.
02:14:16.000
They're just attempting it so B.J. reacts so they can land a left hook.
02:14:27.000
If you're BJ, though, what are you telling him?
02:14:35.000
If I say interesting one more time, I'm going to hit myself.
02:14:42.000
BJ's upright and just kind of walking forward, kind of...
02:14:49.000
Well, he's checked a lot of them, too, though, man.
02:15:15.000
Brendan Schaub, if you're anything, you're bold.
02:15:25.000
See, I see this and I'm like, damn, that's so dope.
02:15:29.000
Everyone else is like, damn, BJ's getting his ass whooped.
02:15:33.000
He doesn't do anything offensive from his guard.
02:15:36.000
I don't think he has a single armbar victory from the guard in his career.
02:15:40.000
What he does is control guys, stifles them, sweeps them, and then takes their back and chokes them.
02:16:09.000
But you have your niche that you do, and you get comfortable with doing it.
02:16:14.000
This is also weird for him to be sitting on his back like this.
02:16:23.000
Very rarely do you see Marcelo attempt an armbar.
02:16:25.000
Although he did leg lock Rico Rodriguez in the absolute of Abu Dhabi.
02:16:32.000
Remember when he had Rico's back and Rico threw himself back on top of Marcelo?
02:16:48.000
You probably have two moves in your back pocket that are your go-tos.
02:16:53.000
You know how to defend them, but they're not your go-tos.
02:16:56.000
Yeah, there are certain guys that do that over and over.
02:17:02.000
Like when she fought Misha Tate when they did the Ultimate Fighter together and she said, better get used to wiping your ass with the other hand.
02:17:16.000
When someone has it, like, you remember Paul Sass?
02:17:22.000
He had something like nine triangle victories in a row.
02:17:31.000
If we see Chuck nod out in the background, that would be fucked.
02:17:40.000
Yeah, BJ's got to be thinking he's two rounds in the hole here, though, no?
02:17:43.000
I mean, Frankie on top of him, two rounds in the hole.
02:17:56.000
So few people can move around like that off their back with their legs.
02:18:00.000
But the bottom line is he's taking a beating, man.
02:18:03.000
Frankie's on top of him, elbowing the shit out of him here.
02:18:27.000
See, like here, you can, I mean, at his level, you can go for legs here, and you can go for ankles.
02:19:06.000
Walking around just beating everybody up at 17. Really?
02:19:32.000
Hey, bro, you are completely getting your ass kicked.
02:19:39.000
Well, you know, what he's gotta do is he's gotta keep the fight standing, or he's gotta take Frankie down and get on top of him.
02:19:44.000
I mean, if BJ gets on top, his top game is nasty.
02:19:47.000
But he just can't hold him in his guard and put his feet on the hips like that.
02:19:52.000
Right hand is gonna drop BJ. And he's gonna get TKO'd.
02:20:10.000
Frankie's just more active, more accurate, more unpredictable.
02:20:21.000
He does things like he'll shuffle in for the punches, and then the second time he shuffles out, he throws a hard kick.
02:20:29.000
Or he looks like he's going to do what he just did, and he goes for a takedown.
02:21:07.000
What is his name that was going to fight for the title?
02:21:13.000
I'm trying to pay attention while I'm watching this.
02:21:22.000
It's a few KOs and that was after Frankie had knocked him out.
02:21:33.000
Oh man, he just ragdolled BJ to the ground there.
02:21:41.000
He can't just lay here with him in his guard like he's been doing.
02:21:50.000
Like, BJ's so comfortable in this position, but it's a terrible position for him.
02:21:54.000
It's almost bad that he's that comfortable here because you're just losing the fight, getting beat up.
02:21:58.000
But it's so weird because, you know, he doesn't have an offensive guard.
02:22:02.000
He doesn't have a guard where he's attacks off his back, tries to lock up triangles.
02:22:10.000
Yeah, he's about to if he can clear that other foot.
02:22:18.000
Everyone else listening to this is like, this is the most bullshit fight ever.
02:22:35.000
I wouldn't be surprised if he was corny throwing the towel.
02:22:48.000
Frankie keeps targeting that same spot with elbows.
02:22:51.000
And BJ's got two more minutes of this to deal with.
02:23:10.000
And Frankie's been saying, oh my god, he's pounded on him.
02:23:16.000
You're not crucifixing BJ and finishing like that.
02:23:34.000
He keeps going back to this butterfly guard and just doing nothing.
02:23:51.000
Just fucking ferocious with these punches and elbows.
02:24:19.000
Yeah, well, the opening line, I mean, I don't know what it was when the actual fight went down, but man, that's hard to watch.
02:24:32.000
Hate to tell you, your favorite fighter, that's going to happen in one day.
02:24:38.000
I hope that we've seen the last of certain guys like GSP. I don't want to see him go down like this.
02:24:48.000
Do you think he's going to go down like this again?
02:24:50.000
Do you think Anderson's going to wind up fighting again or fighting someone else?
02:24:59.000
And then you get some demon who's not going to be down like that, you know?
02:25:03.000
Do you remember when he was coming out for the Weidman fight, the second fight, and he paused during his walk-in?
02:25:10.000
He squatted and just sat there, almost like he was having a hard time breathing.
02:25:19.000
Knowing that you're about to go in there against this dude who's made out of concrete.
02:25:32.000
Because you're going in and you're just like, all right, well, this guy's 265 pounds.
02:25:44.000
What's the guy that hit you the hardest, you think?
02:25:49.000
Everyone said, you know, like Roy Nelson, who I got knocked out by.
02:25:51.000
He hit me behind the ear, so it wasn't that hard.
02:25:59.000
That's the lightest I've ever been hitting one out.
02:26:01.000
And the reason was I was sparring with Shane Carman the week before and got wobbled with a left hook.
02:26:11.000
Because if you look, Rothwell really doesn't hit me that hard.
02:26:13.000
I'm flailing, trying to put him away, and he just clips me in the back of the air and I fall down.
02:26:24.000
I would say who rocked me where I kept going would be probably LeVar Johnson.
02:26:29.000
He hit me with an uppercut, and it literally almost ripped my lips off.
02:26:41.000
Might have been a boring fight, but it put a wrestling clinic on his big ass, and he cuts it positive for steroids.
02:26:50.000
Wrestling 101. The end of the BJ Penn career, man.
02:27:26.000
When I was a kid, I watched Donald Curry, who's a big fan of mine, fight Mike McCallum.
02:27:37.000
And he, Mike McCallum, hit Donald Curry with a left hook to the body and then a left hook and knocked Donald Curry the fuck out.
02:27:48.000
And I was so depressed, I just put on my fucking shoes and went running.
02:28:00.000
And then I remember deciding at that moment, I'm never going to get depressed when a fighter loses ever again.
02:28:07.000
You're never going to let it affect you that way.
02:28:10.000
I remember deciding that because I was so bummed out.
02:28:17.000
Like when I found out or lost to get the main event against Bigfoot, I went and ran probably six miles.
02:28:23.000
I get super stressed out and sad about it because that should have been me.
02:28:27.000
I didn't know what to do, so I just hit the gym running.
02:28:29.000
Let's talk about that because Bigfoot's a weird situation, man, because Bigfoot has a real issue.
02:28:38.000
He has giantism, gigantism, I guess, which made him...
02:28:45.000
At one point in time in his career, he was over 300 pounds.
02:28:47.000
Yeah, he cut to 65. Yeah, he used to cut down to 265. He was fucking enormous.
02:29:06.000
Or it might have been Elite XC. It was Elite XC. How did he do?
02:29:09.000
He won in, I think it was a controversial decision, but it was a good fight.
02:29:15.000
It might have been a decision, but he won for sure.
02:29:24.000
Bigfoot on those stuff, though, just because he has an issue doesn't make it okay that he takes stuff.
02:29:32.000
Say, all right, Orlowski, you can take whatever he's taking.
02:29:37.000
Well, the only problem with that, of course, is that when you tell a guy they can take hormones, especially if you don't really need them naturally, if your body's healthy, you're going to fuck your whole endocrine system up.
02:29:50.000
Your system's not going to know what's going on.
02:29:55.000
At the same time, you're fighting a guy who is on different supplements to enhance his fighting career than you are, and you can't do anything about it.
02:30:16.000
Do you think that when he gets down there that, I mean, is it possible for Bigfoot to fight clean?
02:30:25.000
With his condition and stuff like that, not possible.
02:30:27.000
And he's been on it his entire career, and you want to get him off?
02:30:40.000
If UFC said, hey, why don't you fight Bigfoot in Brazil?
02:30:43.000
I'd say, listen, I'll fight Bigfoot, no problem.
02:30:46.000
I want to fight him in Vegas or California where the drug testing is strict.
02:30:53.000
I want random tests to make sure he's not overdoing it.
02:31:20.000
Yeah, it looks like he almost can make welterweight.
02:31:28.000
He's had a lot of broken hands because of that.
02:31:39.000
You almost want to say, alright, if you can't fight without taking this stuff, you should probably stop fighting.
02:31:46.000
Either way you paint it, even if he needs the stuff, it's not fair.
02:31:51.000
If you can't fight without it, you really should stop fighting.
02:31:55.000
Because a lot of the reasons why these people need that stuff is because of head injuries.
02:32:03.000
Whatever the reason is, if I fight Bigfoot Silva and he's all juiced up on whatever cocktail he has in Brazil that I'm not on, you punch me in the face and I suffer horrible brain trauma because you were sauced up.
02:32:19.000
Dude, there's about two guys in this world who can take a Mark Hunt punch to the face.
02:32:24.000
Roy Nelson, who he's fighting September, and Bigfoot Silva, juiced up.
02:32:30.000
Well, his head is enormous, so it probably helps him.
02:32:36.000
No one in this world can except for those two guys.
02:32:37.000
I wonder if it did help him, because if you know the whole story, Hunt fought Bigfoot...
02:32:43.000
And they had this incredible war, but then it turns out they tested Bigfoot after the fight.
02:32:48.000
He was on testosterone replacement, tested him before the fight, he was at normal levels, tested him after the fight, jacked to the roof.
02:33:06.000
He definitely had elevated testosterone and he definitely had a tremendous ability to absorb punishment.
02:33:18.000
Kane lit him up and dropped him and put him away quick in their fight.
02:33:21.000
And Mark Hunt hits harder than both of them combined.
02:33:24.000
There's no one in this heavyweight division that hits harder than Mark Hunt in the world.
02:33:28.000
Isn't that fascinating that testosterone can do that for you?
02:33:35.000
So take out the part that he has fucking giganticism.
02:33:40.000
But now he can absorb punches and hit harder and better cardio.
02:33:46.000
If you're doing EPO and everything, you assume he's also doing that.
02:33:51.000
Listen, if you're open to this cocktail, if you love whiskey, you're not going to turn down vodka.
02:34:13.000
Why wouldn't you be open to putting these other supplements in your body?
02:34:16.000
You're not just like, well, I'll do this, but I gotta stay at this limit.
02:34:19.000
And they're like, well, if you do this, you're really gonna be a badass.
02:34:24.000
If you're putting a needle in your ass, what do you care if it's filled halfway or full?
02:34:30.000
I mean, and a guy like Chael, I mean, that pretty much proves it.
02:34:34.000
You know, Chael had his reasons why he said that he took those first two supplements.
02:34:38.000
And then it turns out that they have this incredibly detailed, Testing that Lorenzo pays for that's $45,000 per fighter.
02:34:53.000
And then the guy has a direct chain of custody.
02:34:56.000
So he's taking this, flying with this blood, to the place where they're testing it.
02:35:02.000
Yeah, I mean, well, he's basically like the guy carrying the fucking nuclear codes.
02:35:06.000
You know, he's flying with it in his possession at all times, gets to the lab, so it's never left his possession, and then they test it.
02:35:14.000
That's how Chael got busted for all that stuff.
02:35:16.000
EPO and HGH, which the athletic commissions were not testing for, because it's fucking expensive as shit.
02:35:23.000
Look, if a fighter's getting paid eight grand, eight and eight, eight to win, eight to show...
02:35:32.000
That's why only the superstars are going to get caught.
02:35:34.000
Because you're paying the superstars so much money, it's worth it to risk it.
02:35:38.000
Because now we just lost one of the biggest faces of the UFC who could talk people into liking the UFC. Yeah.
02:35:50.000
When people figure out Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa, you dumb fucks, all the pitchers were on it.
02:35:57.000
Lance Armstrong, listen, when he tested positive, they had to go back to 15th place to find a guy who didn't test positive.
02:36:03.000
It's a level playing field if everyone's on it, you fucks.
02:36:10.000
It's like, especially in combat sports, like, well, it's dangerous.
02:36:22.000
You know, you're not hitting a fastball if your bat speed slows down a lot of times in the major leagues.
02:36:26.000
But you can make 20 more million dollars and play for five years if you take...
02:36:31.000
Ryan Braun, the guy who got busted and ratted out everyone saying how he was against stuff.
02:36:48.000
He got a stand ovation when he went back to Milwaukee.
02:37:03.000
And so they don't take any of that away from you when you test positive for drugs and rat out your friends?
02:37:15.000
They're bringing in the federal guys, so they're going to ask him questions.
02:37:18.000
Where'd you get the EPO? Especially EPO. That is a motherfucker.
02:37:34.000
They always say nobody went to jail for taking steroids, but you go to jail for lying to the feds.
02:37:39.000
You go to jail for lying, and you go to jail for selling it in mass distributions.
02:37:44.000
Yeah, it's going to be really interesting to see what happens with jail.
02:37:47.000
I mean, I don't know where the fuck he got it from, but...
02:37:49.000
Brian Stan was talking about it, like, you know, that he had a conversation with Shale.
02:37:53.000
When they come to you and they ask you questions, that is where you can't lie to them.
02:37:57.000
Listen, if Brian Stan tells me something as far as the government goes, I'm for sure listening.
02:38:09.000
Can you just come back to my hotel room and talk to me?
02:38:13.000
You're the inside guy here, more than any of us, right?
02:38:16.000
If I had to ask you, how many guys do you think, what percentage guys are taking HGH? There's a headline going to be tomorrow.
02:38:29.000
I'm just going to say some numbers and you just give me facial expressions that don't necessarily confirm nor deny.
02:38:46.000
Like when I fought LeVar Johns, for instance, we went on the scales, and we get off, I turn my coach, I go, come on, bro.
02:39:02.000
I assume he's on HGH. I assume he's on testosterone.
02:39:08.000
Because he hit me with like this 30% uppercut and I was like in La La Land, almost ripped my fucking lips off.
02:39:21.000
I'm fucking Kanye West style, like slurping my dinner and shit.
02:39:41.000
It's just not the UFC. We're talking about like it's just UFC prom.
02:39:47.000
The bottom of the screen goes Jordan Dixon gets spent for enhancing performance enhancers.
02:39:53.000
It happens all the time but they don't make a big deal of it.
02:39:58.000
Well, no one gets tested more than combat athletes, but in my opinion...
02:40:05.000
Because if you're better because of performance-enhancing drugs, you're better at hitting a ball.
02:40:15.000
But you're not better at beating the fuck out of a person and causing damage to their brain.
02:40:32.000
Two blonde dime pieces who I was going to go up to and kind of snagged myself.
02:40:49.000
But I tell you, if I was A-Rod, I would be like, hey girls.
02:40:53.000
They did have the hungry eyes for Big Brown, huh?
02:41:04.000
There's a difference between an athlete and a fighter.
02:41:07.000
When there's a bunch of athletes, but then the fighter walks in the room, the stakes have been changed.
02:41:23.000
I'll snap your neck and then fuck the two girls you brought.
02:41:30.000
His feet are twisting up inside his shoes right now.
02:41:38.000
Is there a single, like, sport that commands more respect in that sense?
02:41:51.000
And everybody says Ronda Rousey would beat his ass in a street fight.
02:42:11.000
You know, now he's got to go home to his kids like that.
02:42:13.000
I mean, that was something that he said when he fought Nick Diaz.
02:42:17.000
He's like, I can't keep going home to my children looking like this.
02:42:38.000
Because they're 50 and act like they're 30 and they party and do drugs and keep me up when I'm in camp.
02:42:44.000
And the guy knows who I am, you know what I'm saying?
02:43:20.000
Yeah, how they need to clean their life, let them stop eating Cheetos and get a job.
02:43:28.000
$49.95, I'll come to your house with Cheeto fingers.
02:43:31.000
When you're in mid-camp and you're fucking training your ass off and you're constantly exhausted and constantly pushing it, do you look at this like, you know, like, man...
02:43:39.000
There's only a certain amount of years I can do this.
02:43:43.000
I think once you start thinking that, you're fucked.
02:43:46.000
Because they told me, I've heard about, I'm not going to mention names, a fellow heavyweight who was going through camp recently and was like, fuck this, man, this sucks.
02:44:03.000
I'm usually like, fuck, I gotta do this, I gotta do this, I gotta do this.
02:44:08.000
You're not a guy who needs someone to wake you up.
02:44:12.000
If you have to have someone yell at you to motivate you and make you successful, someone's gonna yell at you while you're fucking getting your ass whipped.
02:44:24.000
He gets up, he pretends to work out, does some kipping chin-ups.
02:44:49.000
It's a good thing to say to chicks if you try and impress them.
02:44:53.000
The first time I ever went to Brian's house, he had some fucking catcher in the rye or some shit open on his coffee table.
02:45:01.000
I go, you put that out there when chicks come over to impress him.
02:45:23.000
W-H-I-T. Do you ever read books about training?
02:45:31.000
Yeah, I read a lot of mental books, mental toughness.
02:45:38.000
Because if you can picture how military guys, like Navy SEALs, what they go through and the mind frame they get in, what we do is nothing compared to them.
02:45:46.000
You've got to think about the nerves the Navy SEAL's dealing with before they go into war.
02:45:49.000
And they talk about the breathing technique and the mentality they have, especially when they're going through boot camp and the Navy SEAL selection, which is insane because one out of 99 makes the cut.
02:46:00.000
I'm saying the guys who make it and the guys who run it say they can always tell who's going to make it because I guess they talk to them and interview them after each day and the guys will be like, yeah, man, there's only three weeks left.
02:46:15.000
They say when that guy walks out of the room, like, he's fucked.
02:46:18.000
Then when another guy comes in the room, he's like, I'm just trying to get through tomorrow, man.
02:46:24.000
I go, just get through this drill and take the next drill.
02:46:32.000
Like, I'll wake up and like, alright, you got five rounds of sparring.
02:46:37.000
And then I look at the second round, third, fourth, fifth.
02:46:40.000
But if you look at the grand scheme, like, oh man, I got 12 weeks to get ready for this fight.
02:46:47.000
You're not going to be focused at your best breaking it down individually.
02:46:51.000
That's interesting, but what about the overall game?
02:46:53.000
If you look at your overall mixed martial arts game and trying to improve and trying to compare all these things, do you have an overall assessment of over six weeks I would like to look like this?
02:47:07.000
Seven weeks in, I would like to be at these numbers, I'd like to be doing these rounds, I'd like to be doing...
02:47:15.000
No, because cardio has never been a huge issue for me.
02:47:19.000
The one thing I do have as a marker, like a numerical marker, is my resting heart rate.
02:47:27.000
I'm usually around 37, 38 when I'm in phenomenal shape, which beats Michael Phelps and Hussain Bolt, by the way.
02:47:34.000
So when I'm like 37, for Mitriona, I get down I think 36, 37 is like the best I've ever been.
02:47:56.000
And then I finish my week off by running on the track, doing these long sprints where we monitor my heart rate.
02:48:03.000
So I'll end my heart rate by like 188. As soon as it gets down to 140, I'm running again.
02:48:17.000
That's where I get my confidence from, though, man.
02:48:21.000
And I'll be honest, I suffer a little bit from body issues, too, man.
02:48:27.000
Like, tomorrow, I'm going on a four-day juicing cleanse.
02:48:34.000
Yeah, I eat like shit and I'm going to go on this four day.
02:48:39.000
First time I've had fast food in probably eight years.
02:48:44.000
You're hungry and tired and you did some drinking this weekend?
02:48:51.000
So when you say body issues, like you feel weird when you take your shirt off inside the octagon?
02:48:58.000
Like when I'm out of camp, it's rare you see me with like my shirt off.
02:49:08.000
Listen, you talk to Ariane, I'm sure there's something she doesn't like on her bike.
02:49:12.000
For me, though, it's just like when you're looked at as an elite athlete, I never want people to see me not in shape.
02:49:20.000
Which I am in shape, but I don't want people to see me out of my peak.
02:49:24.000
But you see a guy like Fedor always had a little bit of a gut.
02:49:32.000
He had no ass, a gut, just balding, was like, fuck it.
02:49:38.000
I know, it's different, it's different, I know.
02:49:44.000
Do you think, like, maybe if you, like, thought the way he thinks?
02:49:48.000
I mean, is there a way to, like, emulate that sort of a mindset or program yourself to things like that?
02:49:52.000
It has to do culturally with what is considered manly.
02:49:59.000
I like fast cars, bad bitches, and I live on the beach.
02:50:02.000
He lives in Russia, wrestles grizzly beers, drinks fucking beer, and fucking eats potatoes, and has a gut hanging over his belt.
02:50:11.000
And probably fucking Gutrude has fucking hair hanging out of her armpits.
02:50:22.000
I don't think it has anything to do with being successful or not.
02:50:25.000
I think some of the biggest stars I know, most successful people I know, are very self-conscious.
02:50:36.000
Please don't ever use acting with MMA and NFL. I'm saying stars, though.
02:50:45.000
What athletes do you think in MMA are real self-conscious like that?
02:50:57.000
This is another fucking fun fight companion, man.
02:51:00.000
I wanted to talk a little while at the end to alleviate some depression.
02:51:05.000
I was going to crash Brian's facade into the wall and not pay for it.
02:51:12.000
I mean, it's not surprising, but it kind of is anyway.
02:51:48.000
I'm going to try real hard to get Joey Diaz in here.
02:51:59.000
So, alright, you dirty freaks, we'll see you then.
02:52:01.000
Until then, Brian Callen on Twitter, B-R-Y-A-N-C-A-L-L-E-N-N, Brendan Shaw, that's S-C-H-A-U-B, a.k.a.
