What this episode is, ladies and gentlemen, if you're tuning into this podcast, you go, oh, I'm going to listen to an intellectual discussion.
00:00:11.000
This is four guys sitting around, watching the UFC, and we might get drunk.
00:00:24.000
And what we decided to do is, while the fights are going on, we're in my podcast studio.
00:00:33.000
Have a couple of cocktails, a couple of adult beverages.
00:00:50.000
Anyway, so if you're looking for a regular podcast, skip out.
00:00:53.000
Look, I got a million of them, but this ain't one of them.
00:00:56.000
This may not ever happen again, but it's happening right now.
00:01:00.000
Schaub and Callan and I talked about doing this for a while.
00:01:03.000
Aubrey just happens to be in town right now, so we're doing it.
00:01:06.000
Right now we're watching the prelims, and no sponsors.
00:01:12.000
Go to Onnit.com, O-N-N-I-T. And get your freak on.
00:01:17.000
Still waiting for you to fucking email me your address, you clown.
00:01:28.000
I told you, email it to me so I can email it to Aubrey.
00:01:48.000
You should have seen Brian trying to pull back a 90-pound bow the other day.
00:01:51.000
It was one of the saddest things I've ever seen in my life.
00:01:58.000
It's all in the technique of lifting weights for many years.
00:02:10.000
He needs a lot of things, but kettlebells are also on the main.
00:02:21.000
Costa Filippo is a good fight versus Lorenz Larkin.
00:02:41.000
Coach versus Crookshank, it will be the final night.
00:02:46.000
Eric Koch versus Darren Crookshank is a very good fight.
00:03:01.000
But he's also putting together the rest of his game now.
00:03:46.000
In the Mike Rio fight, Darren Cruikshank was on fire.
00:04:00.000
I mean, he lost to Poirier, but then he came back and beat Rafael Oliveira.
00:04:18.000
Will it taste better in a glass than a warm coffee mug?
00:04:29.000
Got knocked out by this kid who hasn't fought in two years.
00:04:37.000
I was watching it while I was working out, so you might be right.
00:04:44.000
But Wineland, I mean, coming off of a title fight, right?
00:04:48.000
You know, comes off of that fight, then looks sensational.
00:04:55.000
He fought Eve JoBoin, stopped him, and looked fucking sensational.
00:05:01.000
Wineland never lifts his hands above his nipples.
00:05:10.000
He's got a lot of feints, and he gets away with it.
00:05:12.000
And the punches come from all kinds of crazy angles because his hands are low, but that's never a good style.
00:05:22.000
Cracked him with the right hand in the first round.
00:05:30.000
Caught him with a right hand earlier in the round, and then stunned him with one about four minutes, 20 in, and then followed up with another one and dropped him, and his legs just completely gave out.
00:05:41.000
Eddie's always that guy who's one away from a title.
00:05:43.000
Just in that weight class, he's always right there.
00:05:48.000
Coming off that Yves Jobway fight, where he looked fucking sensation.
00:06:00.000
He takes this fight against an unheralded guy who hasn't fought in over two years.
00:06:05.000
This kid hadn't fought in, I think it was something crazy, like 700 days.
00:06:16.000
That's where it doesn't pay to take fights like this.
00:06:19.000
Well, a lot of guys sit out, and people give them a hard time, and they say, oh, fighters fight, but you know what, man?
00:06:29.000
But at the same time, too, you want to fight the highest-ranked guy, the most famous guy possible.
00:06:35.000
That's all anyone cares about, man, the highest-ranked guy.
00:06:42.000
Man, the only fight I ever turned down, it was once, I don't remember his name.
00:06:50.000
Grappler, Abu Dhabi, fought Pee Wee Herman, lost to Pee Wee Herman, fight of the night.
00:07:13.000
And my manager called me with the fight and I was like...
00:07:21.000
So they called me with the fight and I just got off fighting Noguera.
00:07:31.000
And my manager was like, well, let's see what they come with.
00:07:34.000
I said, alright, well if it's a do or die, I'll take it.
00:07:38.000
And then they came up with a different opponent.
00:07:41.000
But that's the only fight where I was like, eh, I don't think so, man.
00:07:48.000
Like when you want to take a fight, if you need a fight, if you need the money you want to take a fight...
00:07:55.000
But if you're in a situation where they offer you something dangerous on two weeks' notice, sometimes cards fall apart and they try to pull that card together.
00:08:03.000
They're making a bunch of calls this week to try to get someone to fight Vitor in Brazil because Junior Dos Santos just broke his hand.
00:08:10.000
Junior Dos Santos is supposed to fight Stipe Miocic.
00:08:16.000
Miocic is now going to fight Fabio Maldonado, who's a 205er who's fat at 205. True.
00:08:25.000
And now he's stepping up to fight heavyweight, and Stipe Miocic is a top-ten guy, so it's kind of a crazy matchup that probably wouldn't be approved in the States.
00:08:34.000
I agree, and I also heard that you can get your money back.
00:08:38.000
Wait, why wouldn't that fight be approved in the States?
00:08:44.000
So there's a commission that says that's just too much of a mismatch?
00:08:55.000
Fabio Maldonado is so tough that you've got to watch out for him if he fights a big guy because you've got to go, God, this guy takes so much punishment.
00:09:05.000
On the other end, though, I can see because Stipe has, in the past, don't get me wrong, Stipe's a beast.
00:09:15.000
However, when he fought Struve, he kind of gassed out and got knocked out, correct?
00:09:20.000
In this fight, I mean, the cardio could be an issue.
00:09:28.000
Plus, he's got the most rabid fans in the world driving him.
00:09:40.000
And he's probably one of the best body punchers in the sport.
00:09:42.000
My concern would just be the size, just the sheer size difference.
00:09:51.000
Jamie, give us some volume so we can at least hear it.
00:10:02.000
The coolest fucking thing is watching Bruce Buffer introduce fighters in Brazil.
00:10:31.000
I saw him in Gold's Gym, on the cable machine, doing the Bruce...
00:10:44.000
I didn't see him, and I'm walking through the gym, I hear...
00:11:04.000
He throws the cards on the ground when he's done.
00:11:12.000
By the way, all you cunts that get mad at me for giving Brian a hard time, do you know I'd love this motherfucker like a brother?
00:11:18.000
And I would give him a hard time if it was a podcast or no podcast.
00:11:33.000
I just don't have as many weaknesses as him, so it's more difficult to find holes.
00:11:37.000
But if he finds holes in my game, he will chip at them.
00:11:56.000
Hey, Brendan, I feel like when you kick to the body with the top of your foot...
00:12:03.000
He did say that last time I watched a fight with them.
00:12:05.000
But when you kick to the body with the top of your foot, I always feel like that's so risky because you could break the top of your foot so easily.
00:12:15.000
No, well, you know, I broke the top of my foot many times on elbows.
00:12:19.000
That's what you've got to be most concerned about.
00:12:21.000
Yeah, but look, obviously you can break your fucking shins.
00:12:25.000
Yeah, mine are lightning fast because I go up and then I kick.
00:12:28.000
You see Tyrone Spong break his leg against fucking Gokhan Saki?
00:12:32.000
It's weird seeing a high-level kickboxer do that.
00:12:36.000
I agree, but to me it's surprising not more guys break their legs.
00:12:44.000
I saw Anderson Silva last week looking pretty good, moving pretty good.
00:12:48.000
Well, Tyrone Spong is only four weeks out, I think.
00:12:53.000
He's walking on a treadmill, no cast, no nothing.
00:12:57.000
What they do now, back in the day when you break your femur or break your bone in half like that, they would keep you off it.
00:13:03.000
What they do now is within 12 hours, 24 hours, they try to get you walking on it immediately.
00:13:07.000
And the reason for that, they'll set it and have you actually start putting pressure on it.
00:13:11.000
Because what they found is that you heal faster because your body rushes calcium to that part of the bone.
00:13:22.000
Well, obviously, you don't put a lot of pressure, but when they break their femur skiers, they got those guys on their feet as soon as possible, because apparently, you know, you'd heal much faster.
00:13:45.000
Yeah, 125. Because he fought at 135 for the longest time, and he was kind of undersized.
00:13:51.000
You know, they're thinking about doing a strawweight, a 115. For guys?
00:14:02.000
That would be such a nightmare to fight that guy because he'd probably still win and he's so small.
00:14:21.000
But both my head and your head would fit in Kenny's head.
00:14:26.000
When I first saw him in person, I went, that can't be Kenny Florian.
00:14:29.000
That's the biggest head I've ever seen on that gentleman.
00:14:33.000
I wonder if there's a real direct correlation between taking a punch and having a big head.
00:14:38.000
I always joke around about it and talk about it in podcasts.
00:14:42.000
Well, boxing trainers, I think Emmanuel Stewart said that they look for, when trainers are looking for boxers, they look for a wide face and a short neck.
00:14:56.000
Yeah, and there's some guys that just, like Tommy Hearns, always had a hard time taking a punch, just has that narrow face, and there's nothing you can do about that.
00:15:07.000
We want to talk about a guy who's been in some fucking wars.
00:15:11.000
I was watching some Tommy Hearns fights the other day on YouTube.
00:15:23.000
Yeah, well, he fought as high as light heavyweight, I believe.
00:15:31.000
You know what's interesting about this fight is usually you have to have...
00:15:36.000
So, for instance, homeboy in the cage has red shorts.
00:15:43.000
Usually you have to be complete opposite shorts.
00:15:47.000
Yeah, it's just the bottom of the trim, though.
00:15:53.000
Is he a judoka, this guy, the guy, um, um, what's his career?
00:16:02.000
First of all, first of all, it's my favorite word.
00:16:15.000
A lot of guys have been catching that Von Flu choke.
00:16:18.000
Yeah, man, because they hang under the guillotine.
00:16:28.000
Yeah, a lot of guys hang onto that guillotine, and then all the guy's doing is taking them down, passing side control, and you can't get your glove out.
00:16:40.000
You're just ramming your shoulder into the artery, and they can't get it out.
00:16:48.000
Someone just had a big finish with that recently.
00:16:55.000
A guy who was fighting at heavyweight most of his career.
00:17:01.000
Yeah, he's fighting Cody Donovan in Dublin now.
00:17:10.000
That Von Flu choke, you very rarely see in Jiu Jitsu though.
00:17:17.000
A good Jiu Jitsu guy is not going to hang on to that.
00:17:22.000
A high level Jiu Jitsu guy is not going to waste his energy on that.
00:17:27.000
Panicking in a fight, gets taken down and doesn't want the guy to posture so he holds on to the guillotine.
00:17:32.000
And then when your glove's caught in there, you're screwed, man.
00:17:38.000
But with a glove on it, it's a different story.
00:17:41.000
Yeah, when a guy really knows how to put that weight on it, too.
00:17:45.000
He knows how to pin you down and force that shoulder into your neck.
00:17:49.000
Some guys can fuck you up just head-to-arm control when they're passing your guard.
00:17:58.000
They know how to put all their weight on a very small point.
00:18:02.000
There's some guys who get side control on you, but they're laying on their knees.
00:18:06.000
And even if their side control is solid, if you can't get out of it, you're not hurting.
00:18:11.000
And then there's other motherfuckers that will have all of their weight on the left side of their chest.
00:18:17.000
And they'll put side control on you and just...
00:18:26.000
And it's interesting because I have like a nasty twister side control on the right side.
00:18:32.000
But then when I do it on the left side, it feels alien.
00:18:37.000
You would think that this is a position I know in my head inside and out.
00:18:42.000
But on the right side, BAM! It's like a fucking...
00:18:49.000
But on the other side, I'm like moving too much and I'm slippery.
00:18:53.000
I wish people could see Joe because he's actually moving around in his chair.
00:19:10.000
And then he goes, well, everyone has neck problems who does jujitsu.
00:19:23.000
And exploding, trying to explode from the bottom.
00:19:33.000
When Brian and I first met each other, I brought him to Carlson Gracie's and he started working out with Sergio Cohen, who's one of Carlson Gracie's black belts.
00:19:48.000
Sergio head-butted him in his nose and broke his nose and just smushed him like a bug.
00:19:53.000
Because I was actually, I went in there like thinking as a wrestler I was going to take these, I was taking like people down because they don't care about that.
00:20:03.000
He just got aggressive and douchey with a guy who was a big, juiced up, crossing, racing black belt.
00:20:14.000
Yeah, I didn't have any respect because I thought, ah, this is the wrestling, it's just bad wrestling.
00:20:23.000
Other white belts and other blue belts who'd never done any wrestling, so I'd be taking them down.
00:20:28.000
And then I go with Sergio, who decides to go, let's do some...
00:20:33.000
And he grabs me, and I was like, oh, well, that's a bear.
00:20:37.000
Okay, now we're back to Fox Sports 1, everybody.
00:20:40.000
The fights were on Fox Sports 2, and then what happened?
00:20:51.000
If they invented baseball today, people would spit in your face if you tried to sell it to them.
00:20:56.000
If you tried pitching to everyone, I'd be like, what?
00:21:17.000
You can just nick it and make it go backwards and win?
00:21:20.000
And there is absolutely no satisfaction even if you whack the ball hard.
00:21:24.000
In baseball, if you hit the ball three out of ten times, you're in the Hall of Fame.
00:21:41.000
Cariasso throws a very deceptive head kick, too.
00:21:45.000
He'll sneak him over the outside of shoulders, like the right outside.
00:21:52.000
Where he beat the fuck out of the internet troll.
00:21:55.000
The guy he fought, first of all, that guy, the troll, is insane.
00:22:38.000
That right there, that's how you hurt your neck.
00:22:42.000
My fucking neck has gotten hurt so many times because I didn't tap, and I'm like, I'm not tapping, I'm not tapping.
00:22:54.000
If I'm going with another UFC heavyweight, if we're training together, I'm not tapping.
00:23:01.000
However, if I'm at the Grace Academy, man, I don't care.
00:23:07.000
The idea is that you shouldn't have been in that position in the first place.
00:23:12.000
In UFC, if you're a heavyweight, you have to be under 260, right?
00:23:16.000
265. Okay, 265. Somebody's saying that there is a number.
00:23:27.000
Even if you made the weight class 300 and you had a 300-pound guy, you get destroyed.
00:23:32.000
Well, the difference is in boxing, it's a little lighter because you don't get a guy to weigh on you.
00:23:38.000
You have to deal with the fact that you're moving body weight around.
00:23:46.000
The Mike Tyson of the 85, Mike Tyson, that range.
00:23:50.000
I think he's the greatest heavyweight of all time.
00:23:55.000
But I think the Mike Tyson that destroyed Marvis Frazier, the Mike Tyson that knocked out Larry Holmes.
00:23:59.000
About 220. 220 maybe, 218. Crazy speed and power.
00:24:07.000
But I don't think you could get away with that as a UFC fighter.
00:24:11.000
And boxing, by the way, doesn't even have a fucking weight limit.
00:24:18.000
You know, a guy like Kane takes you down, lays on you, and starts breathing.
00:24:21.000
Or you got a guy like Bigfoot who's cutting from.300, man.
00:24:25.000
It's always funny to me, and granted, listen, cutting weight, I'm sure, is horrendous.
00:24:29.000
I've cut from.250 to.225 for Metamorris, and it was tough, but not like these guys, you know, making.155,.145.
00:24:36.000
But we'll be at the weigh-ins, and nothing drives me more crazy.
00:24:54.000
Because I weigh 238. The guy I'm fighting is 265. I'm scared shitless.
00:25:07.000
25 with 16 ounce bones stacked on top of each other.
00:25:23.000
The shorts are confusing because I just thought Smolka was on the bottom there.
00:25:32.000
You know you're fighting a superstar if they're like, yeah, he gets black shorts.
00:25:36.000
Oh, if they make you change the color of your shorts.
00:25:38.000
Yeah, like Crow Cop, they're like, you're wearing white.
00:25:40.000
He's obviously wearing the Croatian flag black.
00:25:43.000
Nobody ever had to worry about that with Rich Franklin.
00:25:55.000
Did you guys see the Zach Cummings fight earlier tonight?
00:26:03.000
Yeah, and Cummings was the underdog and he wound up winning.
00:26:06.000
I don't think Mount is a dangerous position as everyone thinks, as it's notoriously known for.
00:26:13.000
I think in MMA, the problem with the mount is when you go to rain down punches, you give up space.
00:26:19.000
And when you give up space, guys put their hands on your hips and they pop out.
00:26:23.000
Like, people think when you get to mount, like, oh no, it's over.
00:26:29.000
But if you have your hooks in and you're controlling them, you're not going to be able to punch as hard.
00:26:41.000
When you mount a guy and you cross your feet underneath his body, you can constrict him the same way you can with a guard.
00:26:48.000
And Benavidez, if he gets an arm anywhere near your chin, his guillotine game is so strong.
00:27:01.000
I'm just saying, as far as taking punishment, if you have a decent mount...
00:27:14.000
There used to be a time where mount or back mount was game over.
00:27:18.000
I think people got used to that for five years.
00:27:26.000
Someone gets to mount, everyone's like, oh, no.
00:27:43.000
One guy where if he got mount, it was actually over and he should tap?
00:28:02.000
Shane Carlin's strongest guy you've ever rolled with?
00:28:06.000
I mean, he's like an alien from a muscle planet.
00:28:11.000
It's like, where'd you come from, muscle planet?
00:28:18.000
I would get in my car and cry, man, after practice.
00:28:21.000
You'd think you'd be getting better because he'd take like a week off because he just didn't give a shit?
00:28:24.000
And then I'd be in the gym seven days a week and he'd come in and just whoop my ass.
00:28:30.000
Now, when he got injured, how much did his injuries progress and how did they progress?
00:28:37.000
He had a lot of back injuries, then he had a horrible neck, and it was like when he fought Frank Mare, he might have hit mitts three times.
00:28:47.000
When Shane Carlin fought Gabriel Gonzaga, that was like his very first big test and he knocked him out like this.
00:28:53.000
He just went boop and knocked Gabriel Gonzaga out.
00:28:55.000
After he got tagged and he got his nose broken.
00:28:58.000
But when Shane was getting ready for that fight...
00:29:05.000
That was the best heavyweight I've ever seen in my life.
00:29:12.000
It looked like you shaved a silverback gorilla and put boxing gloves on.
00:29:21.000
I was talking myself up, like, you can do this, bro.
00:29:33.000
And they would be like, hey, we got other guys for Shane today.
00:29:36.000
I'd be like, thank God, because I don't have to go one round with him.
00:29:38.000
These other guys would go in, I'd just sit back and be like, yeah.
00:29:45.000
Now, at Grudge, was there too much of that going on at Grudge?
00:30:01.000
I'd go down to Jackson's and all we would do is punch each other in the face.
00:30:08.000
You know who criticizes a lot of that is Ernesto Hoost.
00:30:11.000
Ernesto Hoost was talking about gyms that do that.
00:30:20.000
What's doing it, it's taking out potential five of the nights you could have getting paid a lot of money for it.
00:30:32.000
And if they don't have headgear on, I won't spar them.
00:30:48.000
I'm like, nah, bro, get headgear, or we'll go next round, or I'll roll with you or something.
00:30:52.000
Somebody was talking about how when somebody gets knocked out five times or whatever, they start getting a glass chin, so you touch them, they go out.
00:30:59.000
And what they were saying was that the reason for that was that your brain...
00:31:07.000
It's so used to that, it goes, oh, danger time, don't want any more punishment, gotta protect itself, and will shut your body right off.
00:31:14.000
Well, Liddell explained to me, we were talking about it once, and he said that he just couldn't take a shot anymore, and what it was because, he said he was, you know, he was, he would grit his fucking, he would bite down on his mouthpiece and cough it out, and just absorb punishment.
00:31:29.000
And his brain knew when he was getting hit that he was going to do that.
00:31:32.000
His brain knew that he was going to exhort punishment.
00:31:43.000
You know, Johnny Hendricks came out pretty publicly and talked about how he didn't take headshots for that whole camp against Lawler.
00:31:50.000
You see them in the cage there, and those guys are just trading back and forth.
00:31:59.000
Only certain guys because they're getting smarter.
00:32:01.000
Like Michigan, Ohio State, they don't hit during the season.
00:32:09.000
Listen, if you can't take a punch now or avoid a punch now, you're not going to do it four weeks from now.
00:32:16.000
And your ability to take a punch, a lot of times, depends on how many punches you've already taken.
00:32:20.000
I mean, we've all seen guys where their chin starts to go.
00:32:24.000
We've all seen guys like that, where they just start to hit.
00:32:30.000
Pat Barry had never gotten knocked out before when he fought Czech Kongo.
00:32:34.000
Czech Kongo was the first time he ever went out.
00:32:51.000
That's a dude who grew up in the fucking Kongo.
00:33:07.000
Here I am in Malibu playing grab ass with Bruce Jenner.
00:33:13.000
I need training today so I kick a jaguar in the balls.
00:33:21.000
I DVR'd it, and when I got home, I fast-forwarded to Pat Berry's fight, and the dude he was fighting, I was like, no.
00:33:36.000
I like Pat Berry, but I hate when a guy says, I fight one-round fights.
00:33:40.000
So, I fight one-round fights, I'm out there to fight one-round fights.
00:34:06.000
Pat was the guy who would walk into wrestling and literally, he'd be like, dude, did someone kill your dog on the way here?
00:34:12.000
He'd get into wrestling and just be like, super sad.
00:34:16.000
And then he'd be like, you know, he was the only other heavyweight.
00:34:26.000
This is how you avoid getting stuffed on your back.
00:34:34.000
You know, he was doing wrestling and was like, you know what?
00:34:48.000
How much longer if he keeps getting knocked out like that?
00:34:57.000
I mean, when he knocked out the late, great Shane Del Rosario, that was like one of my favorite heavyweight fights ever.
00:35:14.000
That's one of the reasons why you can't pull back a 90-pound bow.
00:35:25.000
You gotta tell me afterwards, I can do 28 chin-ups.
00:35:59.000
Let's back it up so we can see how John Yannick says his name.
00:36:02.000
And then fast forward so we're not out of line with all the people watching at home.
00:36:06.000
Soa might be, besides Bigfoot, the second biggest guy.
00:36:20.000
All right, moving on now, and welcome to the big show, the heavyweight Ruan Potts.
00:36:35.000
Why does Fox News insist on putting hot chicks in dresses that talk about sports?
00:36:41.000
I'm not mad about it either, but it makes me uncomfortable when my dick gets hard when I'm watching fights.
00:36:48.000
And then a big sweaty Samoan comes on the screen.
00:36:52.000
I disagree with your political outlook, but my dick is hard, so I'm listening.
00:36:58.000
I want to argue with you and give you a better point than you're capable of making, just so I can fuck you.
00:37:05.000
If you ever want to freak your friends out, just walk into the room with a hard on.
00:37:08.000
Well, that's what they're trying to do when they're putting these women on Fox News.
00:37:11.000
I mean, look, not saying there's anything wrong with these women or that they're not intelligent.
00:37:17.000
Look, it's very difficult to get a job where you're a political correspondent or you're doing sports.
00:37:22.000
I mean, it's even harder for a woman to do sports than it is for a man because she's got to stand up to all the patriarchy, all the bullshit that guys don't want to hear women talking about sports.
00:37:38.000
We can't have Large Marge up there and be like, this just in, boys.
00:37:57.000
The woman, who's hot as fuck, by the way, is excited that Wayne Newton's staring at her.
00:38:20.000
And I know you want to get your SAG card, but there's better ways.
00:38:35.000
Him winking is like, you deadlift in 400 pounds.
00:38:42.000
Bro, I bet he has so many bitches in Vegas, it's not even funny.
00:38:49.000
So if he has so much money, of course he has so many bitches in Vegas.
00:38:55.000
He probably gets these girls to the show, sings them a little song.
00:38:59.000
I think at this point in his career, it's probably done.
00:39:13.000
Either way, he's going back to the villa and just having bitches.
00:39:17.000
It's one of those things like Tony Bennett where you pretend it's good.
00:39:24.000
If you have a choice between the Spearmint Rhino or going to see Tony Bennett.
00:39:31.000
No, because I just feel like those girls, I feel sorry for them.
00:39:38.000
You guys want to get boners in the meantime or no?
00:39:41.000
He might not even be in Vegas anymore because it says here 517 Lindenwood University?
00:40:05.000
C-I-T-Y. That's not how you spell university, is it?
00:40:13.000
Mr. Las Vegas World Tour, and he's going to some university in St. Charles, Missouri.
00:40:27.000
Lake of the Torches Resort Casino, Lac du Flambe, Wisconsin.
00:40:51.000
So, Brennan, for the heavyweights, how much tougher is a heavyweight's chin versus the punching power?
00:41:14.000
And if you haven't, you're not fighting tough enough guys.
00:41:17.000
So if you say, from middleweight to heavyweight, how much more of a punch does it take?
00:41:25.000
But if Sowa lands a good jab here, it could knock him out.
00:41:40.000
But he fell apart against Eddie Sanchez in his first fight in the UFC. Cardio.
00:41:48.000
Because Ryan Parsons was very high on this guy.
00:41:54.000
He just had a hard time dealing with the pressure.
00:41:58.000
I mean, Brendan, do you feel like the pressure was that you had- There's the guillotine you sold on.
00:42:08.000
His arm's trapped, but if it wasn't, he would come over.
00:42:11.000
But I bet he doesn't do that, because he's not a grappler.
00:42:26.000
You can use chin control to get to the half guard.
00:42:36.000
Oh my goodness, this is some blue belt level shit.
00:42:50.000
What level of jiu-jitsu, when you compare, like say, Metamorris, Abu Dhabi, and then you watch grappling like an average match in the UFC. Give me some volume there, young Jamie.
00:43:13.000
I would say this is blue belt, what we're seeing.
00:44:00.000
Now, there's a guy that's getting comfortable in the UFC, and you're getting to see what everybody saw from him in the gym.
00:44:28.000
He's seeing all kinds of shit that you used to see when you were a little kid.
00:44:32.000
When you saw those cartoons where a guy got hit in the head with a frying pan.
00:44:49.000
Most of it's outside the UFC, so I don't really care.
00:44:53.000
Because I can only get behind him if he does the Haka.
00:44:58.000
If you're ever feeling sorry for yourself, if you're having a fucking pity party, watch a YouTube with a Haka.
00:45:09.000
I may or may not have written my own haka, actually.
00:45:13.000
Unless you go to battle or swim across the ocean in a dugout canoe, you're not allowed to make your own haka.
00:45:20.000
I realized that I couldn't do anything with it, but I tried.
00:45:27.000
I watched a little Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones.
00:45:31.000
Joe, if you think jiu-jitsu's at a purple belt level, overall, we're talking all weight classes, what would you say strike in fact?
00:45:39.000
I mean, if you pay attention to, like, look at high-level boxing, look at high-level Muay Thai, look at high-level kickboxing.
00:45:45.000
And the difference between kickboxing and Muay Thai, for folks who don't know, if you're watching, like, Glory, what they're not allowed to do in Glory, and I love Glory, but what they're not allowed to do is elbows to the head, and they're not allowed to clinch and throw knees.
00:46:03.000
And in a good instance, a good example, rather, a guy like John Wayne Parr, Multiple time Muay Thai champion, but not really allowed to use his full skill set when he fights in Glory.
00:46:18.000
Because Glory has decided they want to go the K1 route.
00:46:21.000
And what K1 decided was, they used to let you clinch with two hands, but then Alistair started kneeing guys into oblivion, so they changed two hands to one hand.
00:46:52.000
Sakuraba only fought Muay Thai, or MMA. He never fought Muay Thai.
00:47:00.000
I mean, Sakuraba has taken some fucking brutal beatings in his time.
00:47:06.000
You're not as able to defend yourself if you're fighting in kickboxing.
00:47:12.000
Because kickboxing, you have all these other things that you can do.
00:47:16.000
You can grab the plum, you can shove your head up into the side of his head.
00:47:21.000
And really control that clench and knee to the body and trip and throw them to the ground.
00:47:27.000
There's all these different things that you could do.
00:47:29.000
The only promotion in America that allows that is lion fights.
00:47:32.000
And you can watch that on AXS TV. Great, great, great fights.
00:47:38.000
And when you see some really high-level Muay Thai, you see all the elbows.
00:47:44.000
There's all these tools that guys are allowed to use in stand-up and MMA that you can't use in dream.
00:47:50.000
Or rather, you can't use in K1 and you can't use in glory.
00:47:53.000
One of the most confusing things I ever saw was watching fights in Bangkok and Samui in Thailand.
00:47:59.000
Because the rule system there for the Muay Thai fight, first of all, it's epic, because everybody in the audience is betting the whole time.
00:48:05.000
And by the way, they will do, like in first round, a lot of times, because they bet on things like how many roundhouses are going to be on the right side.
00:48:14.000
If you're betting on your guy, your guy will get that note.
00:48:20.000
You can never tell how somebody's going to do how good a fighter somebody is by watching their first round.
00:48:51.000
And then at the end of the fight, I'm like, man, that guy kicked the other guy's ass.
00:48:54.000
And it's the Thai guy who landed more knees that wins.
00:49:09.000
Yeah, that was Eddie Wineland that he knocked out.
00:49:16.000
He might be the best pound-for-pound guy on the planet.
00:49:44.000
Well, the only tapping was that, and then I just put him in rubber guard and asked him to escape, and then I got him in the Iminari.
00:50:01.000
It's basically an omoplata where you finish with a neck crank.
00:50:07.000
When you got the guy, you know how you got a guy flattened out and you got the seat belt?
00:50:47.000
I never saw anybody do it before Imanari did it.
00:50:51.000
We got some videos of you teaching that on YouTube, too.
00:50:58.000
Yeah, I asked Danny if he had ever seen it before and then I strangled him with it.
00:51:12.000
Because if a guy's got a good mission control, it's pretty surprising.
00:51:16.000
You get in a guy like Eddie Bravo's guard and try to get out of it.
00:51:23.000
But the thing about it is that you don't know where you're in danger.
00:51:29.000
There's so many non-traditional attacks from that position, but Imanari figured out this dope S-grip neck crank.
00:51:36.000
You just reach under the chin with the S-grip, and you really can't fucking defend it because your right arm, totally trapped in the omoplata, right?
00:51:45.000
Just sitting up, getting an S-grip on the neck, anywhere around the neck, and just...
00:51:52.000
It's essentially your entire core, all the weight of your back and everything, on the unprotected neck.
00:52:03.000
I get there a lot, and at heavyweight, I feel like it's even worse.
00:52:10.000
Have they done a stat on what the one jiu-jitsu move in the UFC, the most successful?
00:52:19.000
As far as the mission rate, I'd say guillotine.
00:52:23.000
A lot of guys aren't going to pull off all these crazy stuff.
00:52:25.000
You know what would be interesting is the chat rear naked chokes, because that's been on a steady decline.
00:52:29.000
Ah, rear naked choke and guillotine's up there.
00:52:35.000
It's almost now people have to be dazed for you to see someone finish it.
00:52:56.000
Oh, there's Iminari pulling it off on that fight.
00:52:58.000
On that TV. Pull back it up a little bit, Jamie, so we can get a look at it.
00:53:18.000
If you've got a neck problem now, I'll fucking kill your sperm count with that.
00:53:23.000
I mean, that's literally how you break your fucking body in half.
00:53:30.000
It's from omoplata and you just grab his head like that.
00:53:32.000
Well, especially if the guy's trying to release your legs to try to save his arm.
00:53:42.000
It's basically a neck crank, and you're breaking a spine.
00:53:45.000
I mean, it's just a horrible, horrible position.
00:53:55.000
I mean, I'll show you after the podcast the setup.
00:54:00.000
And it's one of those techniques where it's there the whole time, but nobody does it.
00:54:04.000
Sort of like the Japanese necktie where a lot of guys want to get the darts, they can't get the darts.
00:54:08.000
They don't know the necktie is right there the whole time.
00:54:17.000
That darts you hit Mitrione with, that was locked down tight.
00:54:28.000
For whatever reason, as soon as I started doing jiu-jitsu, they showed me the darts, and then I was just right away.
00:54:33.000
It was just something they showed me once, and it was in my tool.
00:54:37.000
There's some guys that just, like, certain techniques really click with them.
00:54:44.000
That guy, you get caught in Paul Sass' guard, you gotta fucking get out of there and run.
00:54:48.000
That motherfucker would triangle the shit out of you.
00:54:51.000
Other guys, their triangle's just dogshit weak.
00:55:10.000
Especially in MMA. The reason I developed it a lot is because with Shane Carr when it was shooting in on me, I had to come up with something.
00:55:20.000
Had to come up with something out of desperation.
00:55:22.000
I would attack his feet and he just punched me in the face.
00:55:31.000
Longest undefeated winning streak in MMA. Is that true?
00:55:52.000
It's hard to even comprehend that long of a fight streak.
00:55:56.000
With that kind of speed and stuff, too, like where everybody's fast.
00:56:01.000
How about Daniel Cormier, who's about 5'1", picking dudes up, and just look at that.
00:56:32.000
I was literally eating peanut butter on his head.
00:56:43.000
We used to call him the Gazelle because this kid's cardio is insane.
00:56:57.000
Real tall guys for 55. And Means, he knocked out Pete Spratt at 170, man.
00:57:03.000
Listen, the difference between Means and Magny, and Magny's my boy, but the difference is Means is just nothing.
00:57:12.000
You'll see Neal, his movement's great, but it's more of like a point scoring system for him.
00:57:20.000
Neal, I don't think has ever knocked anyone out in his life.
00:57:25.000
You'll see a jab, a right hand, jab, right hand, and he's just moving the whole time.
00:57:34.000
That's one of the reasons why Magni can keep going forever and ever.
00:57:38.000
It's just like that he's not putting 100% to everything.
00:57:43.000
Where you're not totally 100% committing to techniques, but you can keep going for way longer with that.
00:57:57.000
You look at the guys at the top, there's a mix.
00:58:01.000
For instance, if we look at the fights recently, look at Travis Brown.
00:58:05.000
And I talked to Verdum last Tuesday about this.
00:58:09.000
Verdum said every shot that Travis was thrown had bad intentions, knockout power.
00:58:17.000
It makes for at a high level, that's not going to work, man.
00:58:21.000
Guys see it and they're getting out of the way and they're going to take you down.
00:58:24.000
You said about Travis Brown, you said there's no method to the madness.
00:58:29.000
You said there's nothing behind, there's no strategy behind that.
00:58:33.000
Listen, you can't floor your car in 7th gear and it's going to burn out.
00:58:41.000
And the guys at the very highest level are using all the gears.
00:58:46.000
He comes out very relaxed, jab, jab, and then you're going to see a big shot, and he's back down to 2nd gear.
00:58:51.000
But he's not chilling at 7th gear like Shane Carlin.
00:59:06.000
There's some guys who do fight like that, though.
00:59:08.000
They just explode, explode, explode, explode, explode.
00:59:10.000
And then by the time the third round comes, they're like...
00:59:15.000
We're going to drag his ass to the third round.
00:59:17.000
The third round, we're going to go to work and submit this for him.
00:59:19.000
That's why I was really interested to see what would happen with Tyron Woodley and Carlos Condit.
00:59:48.000
And he might play third in Mr. Olympia right now.
00:59:52.000
Why would you wear clothes when you walk to the grocery store?
01:00:03.000
Real Pete had some tight Valley Tudor shorts on.
01:00:18.000
He's out here because striking coach Arnold is out of wild card.
01:00:22.000
Funny thing about Arnold, I met Arnold doing...
01:00:25.000
Yeah, I was an extra in a B-movie with Heath Herring.
01:00:28.000
And Heath Haring was beating me up and stealing my girlfriend in the movie.
01:00:46.000
Tom Erickson was on top of him, dominating him.
01:00:49.000
And he was getting tired, and they stood him up in pride.
01:00:52.000
And when they stood him up, Heath Heron just goes, Woo!
01:01:00.000
And he just charged after Heron and smashed him.
01:01:25.000
These guys are very similar, but the difference in this fight will be Tim Means just has a nasty, nasty streak.
01:01:37.000
He's been fighting in MFC. He's been fighting in MFC. But before that, when he fought in the UFC, I believe he's fighting...
01:01:59.000
You should get a big dick on your chest like Brock Lesnar.
01:02:05.000
He lost against Masvidal, and he lost against Danny Castillo.
01:02:08.000
So I think that he was having a hard time making that weight.
01:02:27.000
Like I said, the difference is, these guys are very similar, same size.
01:02:30.000
Magny has great footwork, but Tim Means just has this killer instinct.
01:02:48.000
I like how he, that long reach, another thing that people don't talk about, about long reach.
01:02:53.000
Yeah, but the long reach, the ability to bend at the waist and move away from shit, that's one of the things that Jon Jones does so well.
01:03:05.000
I guarantee you the game plan here for Neil Magny is don't, as soon as you hit the cage, get off.
01:03:12.000
You're going to see him circling, constantly circling.
01:03:14.000
It's interesting how different body types have different advantages.
01:03:26.000
And if you watch this fight with Ivan Salivari, basically anything he does in grappling, he's just so ridiculously strong.
01:03:31.000
He just came out of his mom and put her in an ankle lock.
01:03:35.000
Did you ever see a video of him rolling with Mayhem Miller?
01:03:43.000
I would say that, too, if I got fucking hip-tossed and strangled like that.
01:03:46.000
And Mayhem is such a monster, you know, for a guy like me.
01:03:52.000
Me and Dove Davidoff tried to fight Mayhem one time.
01:03:59.000
But like I said, you see what I mean by point sparring?
01:04:07.000
So what's the difference between his style and the Diaz brothers then?
01:04:11.000
The Diaz brothers load up eventually, but they'll pop, [...
01:04:23.000
They also seem like high-level boxers in comparison.
01:04:26.000
Well, Diaz has an incredible chin, especially Nick.
01:04:33.000
Well, Frank Shamrock said it best when he fought Nick Diaz.
01:04:37.000
He's like, you can't breathe because he's always hitting you.
01:04:41.000
Because even if it's only a 50% shot, you still have to hold your breath.
01:05:08.000
I love that fucking guy like I love my mother, but I would only have him on if I had a backup guest.
01:05:15.000
They took his brother out of the rankings, huh?
01:05:25.000
He wants more money because he found out what Gilbert got.
01:05:28.000
And there was a contract negotiation with Gilbert.
01:05:31.000
Bellator was trying to pick up Gilbert when his contract was over.
01:05:38.000
And so there's some sort of contract negotiation.
01:05:55.000
It's one of those things where you talk publicly, you talk shit about the UFC. You're not going to win, man.
01:06:01.000
What motivation do they have to give you more money?
01:06:05.000
Well, the other thing is, too, is guys forget there's no bigger guy than the UFC. The UFC's going to keep on...
01:06:12.000
If one of the elephants fall out, the circus keeps on going, man.
01:06:15.000
How about Eddie Alvarez backing out of the fucking Michael Chandler?
01:06:32.000
This is a really strange fight because it almost looks like they're sparring and it doesn't matter.
01:06:46.000
He literally doesn't seem concerned about any low kicks whatsoever.
01:06:52.000
By the way, this might be one of my favorite podcasts ever.
01:06:57.000
Just hanging out watching fights, ladies and gentlemen.
01:07:16.000
Brian and I have conversations, and they're not nearly as frustrating to me as they must be to you.
01:07:25.000
But Brian and I have conversations, and I go...
01:07:37.000
Last weekend during the Mayweather fight, I had to look over him.
01:07:40.000
I go, hey bro, do you mind just shutting the fuck up for two rounds for me?
01:08:00.000
The only problem that I have with Bellator, the only problem is that there's not cross-fights.
01:08:06.000
Like, you know how, like, if a Bob Arum-promoted fighter wants to fight a Golden Boy-promoted fighter, they figure out a way to make it happen.
01:08:16.000
And arguably, that might be Mayweather doesn't want to fight Pacquiao-wise.
01:08:32.000
That also could be propaganda from the Mayweather camp.
01:08:38.000
What were you saying, though, about matchmaking?
01:08:41.000
So many people have said that Pacquiao's doing something.
01:08:43.000
When a guy moves up one weight class, you go, well, that's normal.
01:08:55.000
You know, speaking as a guy who's actually done steroids, I would say maybe he's done some steroids.
01:09:02.000
I used to take this shit called MAG-10 that used to buy at GNC. All the shit I've done.
01:09:07.000
Testosterone replacement, all the shit I've done.
01:09:09.000
MAG-10 was the craziest shit, and I couldn't believe you could buy it.
01:09:13.000
Was that the shit like Martin Reward and all the guys were taking it?
01:09:18.000
I don't know what this MAG-10 was, but they made it illegal quick.
01:09:22.000
I did a cycle with it, I grew tits, my dick was as hard as a telephone pole.
01:09:31.000
I've never had roid rage with anything that I've ever done, because I'm a pretty calm guy, but the closest I ever got to roid rage is this shit.
01:09:41.000
You would buy it at the store, take 10 pills a day, And I was like, how could I gain 10 pounds of muscle in six weeks.
01:09:56.000
Because when I stopped taking it, my dick just went, hey, I'm going camping.
01:10:07.000
Internet searches for Mag10 just went through the fucking roof.
01:10:15.000
If anybody finds Mag07, it just makes you shit, so don't get excited.
01:10:21.000
And that's the thing that I'll say that I did steroids because I did this.
01:10:25.000
I mean, even though it's not considered a steroid because you could buy it at GMC. GNC, rather.
01:10:52.000
Might have been the greatest thing I've ever taken in my life.
01:10:58.000
I'm sure you didn't take the daily recommended dose.
01:11:01.000
Well, the daily recommended dose, whatever it did, turned you into a fucking monkey.
01:11:07.000
I can't figure out what the game plan is for either one of these guys.
01:11:10.000
I was recovering from an ACL injury, so I was taking it.
01:11:14.000
At the same time I was taking it, I was really lifting really heavy because I couldn't do any jiu-jitsu.
01:11:21.000
Lower body, for the first couple months, all I was doing was bodyweight squats, just very light, trying to increase my flexibility and all that.
01:12:01.000
He definitely got one in while his hand was down.
01:12:06.000
I don't like that knee-to-the-ground thing, knee-on-the-ground fighter.
01:12:11.000
Well, you can job the system by touching your hand and lifting it up and touching your hand and lifting it up.
01:12:19.000
I think the knees to the head for a grounded opponent should be legal unless a part of your body is touching the cage.
01:12:29.000
When a guy's got his head pressed up against the cage, you can't go anywhere.
01:12:34.000
That's why I like soccer kicks and stomps and pride, because you could always spin your head around and go under the cage to avoid the technique.
01:12:42.000
You know why I don't think they ever make that legal?
01:12:47.000
They think the sport's too violent as it is now.
01:12:52.000
You can't punt somebody's head like a soccer ball.
01:13:03.000
I think it's bullshit as long as you can debate it.
01:13:05.000
Why should you be allowed to wheel kick a guy in the head but you can't soccer kick him?
01:13:09.000
Probably because a wheel kick is harder to get off.
01:13:19.000
Choked me out with his titties when I was a white belt.
01:13:22.000
Literally put my face between his tits and choked me out.
01:13:38.000
Did he give you a cross afterwards or maybe a Bible quote?
01:13:50.000
The KFC thing that they're promoting, that double down.
01:13:58.000
You know, there's a place in Montreal called Joe Beef, and they did a variation on the double down.
01:14:15.000
And it might be the best thing I've ever had in my life.
01:14:17.000
I don't like shitting my pants, so I don't eat that stuff.
01:14:47.000
Nothing has made me rocket shit out of my asshole like kale shakes.
01:14:55.000
It doesn't bother me, but it's basically like forcing Roto-Rooter down the drain.
01:15:02.000
Well, they say you're not supposed to drink too many kale shakes, too many spinach shakes and things because it's a big leafy green vegetable.
01:15:18.000
You've got to stop saying shit like that when you don't research it.
01:15:23.000
Because you can counteract all that stuff with calcium.
01:15:25.000
Oxalic acid is the problem, but you can counteract it with calcium.
01:15:43.000
The problem is that a lot of times leafy greens, because they have to keep insects and vermin away, they produce something called oxalic acid.
01:16:18.000
I'm an expert in Googling shit before I talk about it.
01:16:23.000
Oh, Tim Means with the fucking power guillotine!
01:16:34.000
Look at Sean Shelby texting people, not even watching the fights.
01:16:37.000
Guy's fucking ringside, the greatest fucking sporting event.
01:16:43.000
That's when you know you've been to too many fights.
01:16:48.000
You see me ringside in a fight, you see me either glued to a monitor or watching the fights.
01:16:57.000
When those bells ring, especially a fight like this, this is a great fucking fight.
01:17:07.000
Just Google it so you know for yourself that you're wrong.
01:17:25.000
I love you, but you give out shitty information and then I get tweets by the thousands.
01:17:43.000
You know, I have a real problem with people that only complain about people.
01:17:49.000
There's a lot of that with people who write blogs.
01:18:21.000
Neil Magdy's main training partner, Nate Markhart.
01:18:29.000
Means fucking exploded out of the gates of hell.
01:18:39.000
When Neil came off, I think he was the Ultimate Fighter 14, when Shane Carwin was the coach, he lived with Nate Mercart and his wife.
01:18:46.000
They loved having him around so much, he basically stayed there for a year and became their babysitter.
01:19:00.000
Google your information before you say things like that!
01:19:06.000
Magny, he keeps trying to get that back triangle, but can't get it.
01:19:24.000
Yeah, get that arm, but he doesn't have that arm in the right position.
01:19:27.000
If you're gonna isolate it, you gotta get that left arm across the chin.
01:19:30.000
Why isn't he going to head and arm in the first place?
01:19:46.000
I was over at Hicks and Gracie's house once, and we watched Coliseum 2000. What is that?
01:19:52.000
It was a mixed martial arts event in Japan, back in the Dizze, when Hickson fought Funaki.
01:20:06.000
But Hickson was so amazing watching fights with Hickson when he starts breaking down positions.
01:20:17.000
When he sees guys with their shitty side control and shitty mounts.
01:20:24.000
And he goes, when I go to, when we start, we're in neutral position.
01:20:29.000
Well, if I go to one, we're not going back to one.
01:20:32.000
We start at zero, I move to one, and from one, I go to two.
01:20:38.000
I'm going to one, and then to two, and then checkmate.
01:20:44.000
The way he's saying it, it's like, I believe you.
01:20:47.000
By the way, I've never seen, has he ever cracked a joke in his life?
01:20:53.000
I mean, I'm sure if you're around him, and you've fucking been strangled by him sufficiently, that he knows that you understand your position in the food chain.
01:21:04.000
Frank Grillo, my buddy who trained with him for a long time, was on his competition team.
01:21:07.000
Was he a Green Beret, Navy SEAL, sniper that you know, guy who served, combat athlete, riot police, former world champion.
01:21:23.000
Dude, tell me about all your friends because they make you a better person.
01:21:26.000
Tell me about all your friends because they make you a better person.
01:21:31.000
You find out that Frank Gerla doesn't even exist.
01:21:38.000
I didn't see it, but the latest Captain America.
01:21:42.000
And he said that Hickson would let you put him in his purple belt.
01:21:45.000
Anybody put him in literally like a chokehold and count to ten.
01:21:48.000
He'd be like, I'm going to get out of this in ten, nine, eight.
01:21:51.000
He would tell you what he was going to do to you.
01:21:54.000
Yeah, he would tell you what he was going to do to you.
01:21:55.000
I'm going to put you in an armbar no matter what you do to defend.
01:21:58.000
Full back control with the hooks in, rear naked choke locked in, and he would get out.
01:22:05.000
But it's not if you let a white belt do it to you.
01:22:16.000
A lot of that is that style of never committing 100% to everything.
01:22:36.000
His head coach is Leicester Bowling, and he's with Nate Mark Hart and Cody Donovan, those guys in Denver.
01:22:49.000
Tim Kennedy was on the podcast the other day talking mad shit about Muscle Farm products.
01:23:03.000
Their products probably make you shit your pants.
01:23:20.000
If it's Saturday night, got nothing to do, put on a good movie, shit my pants.
01:23:22.000
Hey, by the way, thanks for animating that shit story video that Joe and I did.
01:23:32.000
Yeah, they animated it and made it really funny, too.
01:23:34.000
Dude, there's so many funny fucking people online, man.
01:23:36.000
Was your shit story about you running around away from the girl in the woods?
01:23:47.000
Dude, your story that no one's animated, someone...
01:23:51.000
The story that you told about running away from a girl, Brian was hiking with a girl and he had to shit his pants, so he made a game out of it and ran into the woods.
01:24:08.000
My asshole was literally, by the end of it, was like...
01:24:21.000
She finally heard it because I couldn't get around in time.
01:24:35.000
You know, if a girl can deal with that, if you can say, hey, listen, I don't want to lie to you, but I got fucking crazy diarrhea.
01:24:43.000
In fact, saw her a year later at Kinko's and she ran out of the fucking Kinko's.
01:24:51.000
If you were on a date with a chick and she said she has mad diarrhea, I said, look, we're human.
01:24:57.000
Well, yeah, so you would say I'd fuck her anyway.
01:25:15.000
But they'd probably sense weakness in you because you tried to hide it.
01:25:18.000
Whereas a guy like me would say, Hey, listen, I got fucking diarrhea.
01:25:24.000
I couldn't understand if you hate me now, but I'm gonna go shit behind this tree.
01:25:28.000
I was in an acting class and this fucking guy...
01:25:34.000
I fucking hate this Nas commercial and I'm done.
01:25:41.000
Where the guy throws all these wild kicks and the other guy comes out and punches him in the face.
01:25:47.000
Yeah, punches him in the face and then eats Crank.
01:25:51.000
And then he's like, yeah, fucking cool, calm, and collected.
01:25:54.000
I'll just have some caffeine because I just knocked a guy out.
01:25:58.000
I totally need to be stimulated because I just knocked a guy out.
01:26:03.000
I was once on a, like, really super early in dating this girl, and I got food poisoning.
01:26:08.000
We were sleeping in the same hotel room together.
01:26:11.000
So we met in Greece, so I'd drink a bunch of ouzo and pass the fuck out.
01:26:20.000
Yeah, because I thought maybe it'd help the food poisoning.
01:26:48.000
And any time I would try to be, like, romantic and we'd be having a wine...
01:26:52.000
She'd just look at me and just crack the fuck up.
01:26:57.000
She wouldn't have told your friend you're the shit guy.
01:27:05.000
And she's with a black guy that they'll never let fuck her on TV. I'm upset.
01:27:16.000
Have you ever had a girl blow up your bathroom?
01:27:30.000
Darren Crookshank and Eric Cook are about to fight right now.
01:27:34.000
New Breed and Detroit Superstar about to throw down.
01:27:45.000
When I was at Duke's camp, I was training at Duke's place when I was in Minneapolis, and Crookshank was there, and Coke is one of his boys.
01:27:56.000
Brendan, you have a tough, this is a crazy, I gotta just say.
01:27:59.000
Don't say something like, I can't believe this is your job.
01:28:05.000
When you see that little thing pop up at the bottom that says UFC 174, I go like this.
01:28:18.000
Do you try to avoid thinking about fights as much as possible before you do them?
01:28:26.000
By the time I get home, I'm so exhausted, I really don't think about it.
01:28:30.000
I'll wake up sometimes, I'll sleep like shit, thinking about Arlovsky, stuff like that, but...
01:28:40.000
I would never compare myself to anything that you've done, but I did some competing when I was younger, and one of the things that I found was I won the U.S. Open when I was 19 years old, and one of the reasons I think that I won it is because I didn't think I was fighting, and it was because I had fought the week before,
01:29:01.000
And the tournament was the week after that, and I was like, well, I'm not going to fight.
01:29:08.000
And then I woke up the morning of the fights, and I had a bunch of donuts, which I never would normally eat.
01:29:15.000
And then I had some coffee, because I used to have a paper route.
01:29:18.000
That's how I used to make money when I was fighting.
01:29:21.000
I'd get up at 5 a.m., and I would deliver papers from 5 to 7, and then I'd go back to sleep.
01:29:26.000
And so I had these fucking Dunkin' Donuts donuts with powdered sugar and lemon filling and I had some Boston cream donuts and I was lit up with sugar and I was like, I'm fucking fighting!
01:29:47.000
Not only did I not think about it, I told myself I wasn't fighting.
01:30:00.000
Because that's what I would do when I wasn't fighting if I was injured.
01:30:06.000
Besides my ACL, it was one of the biggest injuries I ever had.
01:30:13.000
It's a pretty big muscle, and it was a pretty bad injury.
01:30:21.000
Besides that, I hurt myself, so I said, you know what, let me just take some time off.
01:30:27.000
And the day of, I decided, fuck it, I'm fighting.
01:30:38.000
I had zero nerves the whole week because I was convinced that I wasn't fighting.
01:30:47.000
As a Taekwondo fighter, it was one of my biggest victories, winning the U.S. Open.
01:30:53.000
I've also heard from some athletes, when you're a little bit injured, too, it kind of takes some of the pressure off you for your own performance.
01:31:05.000
Bernard Hopkins said something like, why would I train?
01:31:11.000
Well, now as he's older, and Larry Holmes said the same thing.
01:31:14.000
He realized, why am I training an hour and a half for a 30-minute fight?
01:31:20.000
The top tennis players do not practice more than two hours a day.
01:31:27.000
It's tennis, and we're just talking about some serious shit.
01:31:37.000
Well, you need to learn tennis, or I'll serve a ball in your fucking face.
01:31:48.000
Take a guy who weighs about the same that I do, and who runs an ultra-marathon.
01:31:54.000
Give him a month off, and I'll fucking strangle him.
01:32:02.000
If you lock up with me, you don't know what you're doing, I'm going to choke the shit out of you.
01:32:16.000
The ignorance in this room, ladies and gentlemen.
01:32:29.000
I wish the listeners could watch me play tennis.
01:32:55.000
Someone sets an initial line and then the betting...
01:33:12.000
Gary Copeland is as wide as he is tall, and he's not very tall.
01:33:19.000
By the way, Brian, if you ever want to play tennis.
01:33:26.000
He'll make you quit playing tennis or table tennis.
01:33:39.000
Crookshine coming off of that victory is very, very hyped.
01:33:50.000
Dude, he's trying to make him pay with every kick.
01:33:55.000
If you and Coke go into bar, Brandon Shaw, who gets the girl?
01:34:08.000
You gotta understand, when you see a girl like...
01:34:11.000
When a girl's around Shaw, you just gotta get her away.
01:34:24.000
I just tell girls Brian has AIDS. He might have AIDS. I look like I do when I'm next to you.
01:34:32.000
Would be the last guy on earth that gets tested.
01:34:35.000
I'm like, bro, do you think you have AIDS? Nah, man, I feel fine.
01:34:40.000
Whatever else he has is duking it out with the AIDS. And he's happy to just be a battleground.
01:34:51.000
You know, it's interesting, like I said, because when I was at Rufus Sport, Crookshank was training there.
01:35:00.000
That fucking southpaw stance is always tricky, man.
01:35:04.000
They are tricky, but they're opened up for right hands and high kicks, too.
01:35:12.000
Unless you train on a regular basis with a really good southpaw.
01:35:23.000
Yeah, that snappy right jab is a motherfucker, man.
01:35:30.000
But Crookshank, I was so impressed with him in that Mike Rio fight.
01:35:52.000
Because obviously I'm surrounded by enemies in this fucking area.
01:35:55.000
You're surrounded by people who do not appreciate tennis except for Aubrey.
01:36:11.000
Tell you what, whoever made these odds, man, are way off.
01:36:23.000
By some of the things that I... Sometimes, you know, he'll come to fights and I'll go, whatever you do, bet the fucking house.
01:37:01.000
Who the fuck made him a 3.5 to 1 underdog and a 4.5 to 1 favorite for Coke?
01:37:06.000
Some fuck who's used to doing NFL and NBA. I was like, oh yeah, I'll do UFC this weekend.
01:37:17.000
And by the way, Brian caught him with the foot.
01:37:24.000
Gary stopped the fight because he got tired of being so low.
01:37:43.000
But look, when Crookshank's on top of him, he's dropping these shots, and every time he's dropping these shots, he's grabbing them.
01:37:53.000
I mean, he's definitely tagging them, but I don't think I would have stopped that fight because I like to see a guy survive that kind of shit and come back, and I know that sometimes when guys burn themselves out trying to finish a fight, they could gas out.
01:38:17.000
You know, I did gymnastics forever because I used to hang out with GSP all the time.
01:38:22.000
He did gymnastics, so I was like, I want to be like him.
01:38:41.000
You would get sensitive about me saying you have a bad body for gymnastics, by the way.
01:38:53.000
I kept doing it, and then I was getting really tired from it, and it was hurting my knees.
01:38:56.000
I was like, why the fuck am I doing gymnastics right now?
01:39:00.000
Imagine if you tore your knee doing backflips and you have to fight.
01:39:03.000
And there's 10-year-olds everywhere doing way cooler shit than me.
01:39:16.000
That's the only reason I went, so I could do a backflip.
01:39:22.000
There's a couple interesting fights on this card.
01:39:28.000
But the thing about Cormier and Henderson is Henderson is off the TRT now.
01:39:39.000
Vitor put out a statement, I'm a beast without TRT. The Holy Spirit.
01:39:46.000
I'm a beast without TRT. Crucshall, ladies and gentlemen.
01:39:51.000
You just got a new superstar, UFC. The Detroit superstar.
01:40:08.000
Well, I do, but I like seeing guys win at the same time, and one of them has to happen for the other to happen, and I'm a big fan of Crookshank.
01:40:21.000
John Anik, he takes a lot of fucking shit online.
01:40:36.000
Joe has, what, six Gillian followers on Twitter?
01:40:53.000
I think I would have let him fight a little bit more because I don't think that any of these shots are putting him away.
01:41:01.000
His head is off the mat and he's trying to figure out a way.
01:41:05.000
He's trying to figure out a way to get out of that scenario.
01:41:08.000
But when a guy's on top of you and a guy's blowing his wad like that, swarming, as a guy who's experienced a lot of fights, I think that you've got to let a guy try to fight out of the bottom position.
01:41:46.000
Do you think that he'd pull his dad aside and go, Dad, come on, we're going to go walking today.
01:41:57.000
I did not see this fight, so it must be an exciting fight.
01:42:05.000
I was working out because I have a gym at the house, by the way, gentlemen.
01:42:19.000
Who is that mafia guy who would bring you down to the basement to see the lion if you wanted to fight with you?
01:42:28.000
There was a mafia guy who kept a lion downstairs.
01:42:36.000
He goes, well, if we had a problem, we'd take him down to see the lion.
01:42:41.000
And they just had this huge male lion down there.
01:42:43.000
I would imagine that's the last way you'd want to die.
01:42:46.000
Well, the Uday and Husay, whatever, Husay, Saddam Hussein's kids used to feed people to dogs, to Rottweilers.
01:42:54.000
They would not feed the dogs for days, and then they would throw people to the dogs.
01:43:01.000
They would rape women on their wedding day, they would find them on their wedding day, steal them away from their groom, rape them, and then feed them to dogs.
01:43:08.000
Where was William Wallace when that shit was happening?
01:43:14.000
If there's a hell, I hope they're just fucking in the hottest.
01:43:21.000
For the rest of time, I hope little kids step on them.
01:43:25.000
And just keep coming back as snails getting stepped on.
01:43:28.000
We get run over by cars, splat, and they live, but they're in agony for like 20 hours.
01:43:46.000
Only impressive because he bothered to grow it.
01:43:48.000
At this point in time, I'm a little tired of those beards.
01:43:58.000
It's a sign that you need a little bit of attention.
01:44:06.000
If you have a big dick, you don't have a beard.
01:44:10.000
If you have a big dick, you don't need a big beard.
01:44:12.000
But if you have a big dick and a big beard, it's like, whoa, I didn't see that coming.
01:44:30.000
If you got a huge beard, do you trim your pubic bush or do you just let it go wild?
01:44:36.000
Usually if you're growing a beard like that, you kind of don't give a shit and you have that 70s bush.
01:44:56.000
He was thinking about flipping, but he's like, I think my legs are cast.
01:44:59.000
Is that the Eiffel Tower on his back turned upside down?
01:45:18.000
Luke Cadillo in this corner, former 155. Hey, guys, during the break, just so you know, if you like comedy, I'll be the Edmonton comic strip.
01:45:31.000
I'll be there this Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
01:45:44.000
We're going to Vancouver on June 13th, and we're in Lloyd Minster on June 12th.
01:46:03.000
August 22nd and 23rd at the Comedy Works in Denver.
01:46:07.000
Joe Rogan would probably open for me for my one hour special.
01:46:21.000
My favorite thing is listening to you laugh in the audience while I'm doing my stand-up.
01:46:34.000
You end up just doing stand-up for your friend.
01:46:36.000
I think that's Artemis Prime or whatever the fuck it is.
01:46:46.000
You know Marky Marks in the new Transformer movie?
01:46:52.000
It's like someone offering you John Olive Inamo.
01:47:04.000
Unless you want to fuck Megan Fox, I would say no.
01:47:34.000
As a kid, I loved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
01:47:41.000
Is that the same guy who directed it that has a problem with the gay guys?
01:47:49.000
The Bryan Singer is the one who's having a problem with gay guys coming out and saying that he fucked them.
01:47:52.000
I got a message for all you little twinks that fucked Bryan Singer and now you're running your yap.
01:48:00.000
When you get into a pool and there's 500 other twinks in there and you're all on ecstasy, shut the fuck up!
01:48:34.000
You know there's like a bear, but there's like otters, and there's a whole...
01:48:42.000
Because you are a bear, bro, but you're not hairy.
01:48:59.000
Have you seen what I'm working with under the shirt at all?
01:49:12.000
No, Brian's a chicken head in the gay community.
01:49:30.000
You and Donald Sterling just doing the damn thing.
01:49:35.000
I'll tell you, there's a lot of people that saw Donald Sterling with that chick, and they ignored the racism and went, there's hope.
01:49:43.000
If that 81-year-old guy can fuck that 20-something-year-old chick, there's hope.
01:49:48.000
If I get $20 billion in owning the Clippers, there's hope.
01:49:54.000
Look at Adam Sandler doing another movie with Drew Barrymore and expecting someone to watch that.
01:50:08.000
I don't like intense stuff, yeah, so I watch that bullshit.
01:50:11.000
You don't like intense stuff when you're preparing for a fight?
01:50:13.000
In general, because my job's so intense, I watch bullshit.
01:50:17.000
Like, last night I went and saw that movie Neighbors.
01:50:35.000
Craig Robinson was great in that fucking movie.
01:50:55.000
I love how James Franco dodged that 18-year-old bullet.
01:51:09.000
But he didn't bang her, so it was pretty like...
01:51:30.000
You know, and she like printed all, took all the tweets that he sent her or whatever it was.
01:51:39.000
We know it's 617 and you're fucking James Franco.
01:51:43.000
The deal is you're supposed to back off and go, okay.
01:51:47.000
You're supposed to say, okay, it's not like I'm in the desert and I have to fuck my kids and eat my neighbors.
01:51:56.000
Hot bitches who are over 18. You gotta try something different.
01:51:59.000
The problem is there's some dudes that are attracted to innocent.
01:52:06.000
There has to be a better way to go than Instagram.
01:52:07.000
I like a woman in her 30s who's been through two divorces with a sex swing.
01:52:16.000
Like a chick who gets a text from a guy and goes...
01:52:32.000
You don't like a girl who sees Brendan Schaub and is like, I can get that guy.
01:52:36.000
You like a girl who knows she can't get Brendan Schaub because Brendan Schaub is out busy with something superior.
01:52:47.000
And you used to always be like, why are you with that?
01:52:57.000
You used to want them to fall in love with you, too, which is always odd to me.
01:53:02.000
Yeah, but you weren't a guy who was really honest about what was going on.
01:53:06.000
He was like, hey, we both know what's happening here, right?
01:53:24.000
I think you want them to fall in love so that you can feel good about it.
01:53:28.000
Your wife, when you asked her, you knew she was the one when you met her?
01:53:43.000
When you enter into a relationship, it's really all a matter of Where are you in your life?
01:53:52.000
What decisions do you make as far as how you proceed?
01:53:56.000
And I've had friends that are like, hey man, I'm thinking about getting married.
01:54:01.000
Stop what you're doing right now and understand what you're doing.
01:54:04.000
Because a marriage, all it is, is a legal contract with the state.
01:54:08.000
If you're going to have kids and you want to have kids, marriage is all good.
01:54:14.000
And on this move, I'm going to have a pickle break right now.
01:54:24.000
And just so anybody understands, there's nothing wrong with getting married.
01:54:46.000
Yeah, I think we're doing a podcast here tomorrow.
01:55:19.000
I'm not tough, but if my friend's in a fight, I'm not going to stand around.
01:55:28.000
This Grillo's Pickles Company sends me these pickles.
01:55:46.000
It's going to sound like a pickle commercial here.
01:56:03.000
Mustard pickles and about a gallon of bulletproof coffee I've had.
01:56:15.000
By the way, people are complaining on Twitter because I'm eating into a microphone.
01:56:30.000
If you're listening to this, and you're like, your fucking podcast sucked because I heard you chewing.
01:56:40.000
All kinds of people just went out to go get pickles, right?
01:56:46.000
And a lot of you are like, what's so good about pickles?
01:56:57.000
The trailer came out the same day that story broke.
01:57:03.000
His movie is he plays a coach that gets involved with one of his players who's a 17-year-old girl.
01:57:13.000
I don't know about that, but I'm looking at this Godzilla commercial.
01:57:26.000
I'm not worried about fighting Andrzej Orlovski because I don't have to.
01:57:31.000
So I'm watching Godzilla and I'm getting fucking pumped.
01:57:35.000
The other Godzilla was some bullshit with Matthew Broderick.
01:57:39.000
What's there, Godzilla commercial or Ronda Rousey right after it?
01:57:47.000
Because Godzilla's definitely going to kick your ass.
01:57:58.000
I'm under no illusion she choked me out on Instagram.
01:58:04.000
The funny thing that you did on Instagram, you do have a really interesting thing that you're doing where you do the angel and the devil.
01:58:20.000
Brian's doing this thing where he has a cell phone on one side and an iPad on the other, so he has two things talking to him at the same time.
01:58:28.000
Are you doing that when you're on the road, you're bored?
01:58:41.000
This is the girl who's in love with Wayne Newton.
01:58:54.000
He doesn't know for the same reason why bodybuilders don't know they look ridiculous or anorexics don't know they look ridiculous.
01:59:02.000
Did they run out of people to sponsor the UFC? Do they not have a guy in the office that does quality control?
01:59:09.000
It goes, enough with the fucking spinning Nas guy.
01:59:11.000
Bro, real quick, let's talk about bodybuilding.
01:59:19.000
I actually had a friend who was competing in this girl, competing in one of those.
01:59:25.000
It was the craziest, scariest thing I've ever seen in my life.
01:59:36.000
Costa Philippou left Ray Longo's camp, you know, because he's 185 pounds most likely.
01:59:51.000
He's lost his last two against Luke Rockhold and Francis Carmo.
01:59:55.000
On my last fight with Mitch Rohn, UFC 165, me and him shared a locker room.
02:00:01.000
This guy did maybe half a jumping jack and went out and fought.
02:00:16.000
And here I am, sweating my ass off in the back.
02:00:22.000
Look at this fight, because he's fighting Lorenz Larkin.
02:00:24.000
And my take on this is that Larkin is like a really multifaceted striker.
02:00:50.000
The difference is, Philippou has crazy knockout power.
02:00:53.000
Larkin's really not known for his knockout power.
02:01:12.000
I'm a little light-headed, but I'm eating the shit out of these pickles.
02:01:23.000
I blocked five guys who complained about me chewing pickles.
02:01:28.000
I know you guys don't make predictions, but if you had to put your money on the Silva-Brown fight, can I get a call?
02:01:42.000
I don't like the fact that Eric Silva's a big, he's two to one.
02:01:50.000
Matt Brown's won four fights in a row, all knockouts.
02:02:25.000
Yeah, his last loss was since he caught him in a guillotine.
02:02:44.000
They ain't giving those muscles away in a Cracker Jacket box.
02:03:11.000
I don't want to say a big jump, but it's different.
02:03:46.000
He brought me and Nate Markart to train with him.
02:03:52.000
If I can stare at her, I will eat a spinning back kick to the face.
02:04:08.000
Both of these guys have their back up against the wall.
02:04:12.000
See, that's the difference between Larkin is the kicking technique.
02:04:18.000
Philippou's going to counter one of these kicks with a big right hand.
02:04:28.000
These kicks start changing what becomes a trend.
02:04:33.000
Now everybody's throwing those oblique kicks to the thighs.
02:04:37.000
That front kick Anderson does, now everyone does it.
02:04:43.000
Superman punch was the thing like a denim jacket about two months ago.
02:04:48.000
I'm waiting for body shots with body punches to be like...
02:04:52.000
You know you're fighting a high-level striker if he's going to the body.
02:05:10.000
Taking the wind out of my sails, ladies and gentlemen.
02:05:18.000
Yeah, he's still on the East Coast, I know that.
02:05:20.000
And his manager is Lex McMahon, one of the best in the business.
02:05:27.000
Is there anybody that would ever fight with an implant?
02:05:35.000
That's the number one implant for guys is calves.
02:06:15.000
And not only that, I think he might have been the first guy to ever stop Lorenz Larkin in Strikeforce or the UFC. Look at him.
02:06:23.000
Ryan, remember when I said a lot of power when you're talking shit?
02:06:33.000
Folks at home, when you watch how short he threw that punch.
02:06:39.000
It's not just power, it's technique because he didn't wind up and pull it way back before he launched it.
02:07:02.000
Oh, look at that lump that occurred underneath his ear.
02:07:09.000
So you know how Joe Silva, you'll see him in the ring when he congratulates guys?
02:07:14.000
Well, if he's unhappy with your fight, he doesn't come in the ring, even if you win.
02:07:17.000
If he's happy, he comes in and says, like, great job.
02:07:31.000
My LeVar Johnson fight, when I just kept taking him down, people were booing me, I was like, oh, where's Joe?
02:07:39.000
Went in the back, he just walked right past him.
02:07:42.000
Yeah, but that's what you gotta do when you're fighting LeVar Johnson.
02:07:47.000
I went on the scale and I turned to my coach and I was like, I think he's on steroids.
02:08:05.000
And then after the fight, my coach was like, good lord, that guy was way bigger and way better than him.
02:08:11.000
He's like, we just wanted to say that so you weren't so scared.
02:08:19.000
We're apparently behind live tea by 15 seconds.
02:08:23.000
We're behind live TV. I got in a clinch with him.
02:08:34.000
So folks, if you're watching this and you're like, you're behind, it's because of the internet.
02:08:42.000
And by the way, if you don't have TiVo, go fuck your mother, alright?
02:08:49.000
I was at a friend's house, they don't even have a DVR. I'm like, why not use candles?
02:09:02.000
Staying with a good friend and their family, my family, friends, and I saw that they had the channel where Glory was on.
02:09:12.000
I'll just watch it on the DVR. I'm like, what is this?
02:09:15.000
Where's your fucking DVR? I tried to pause their TV. I can't pause their TV. What the fuck is happening?
02:09:51.000
If you want to get your name out there, don't spell it like that.
02:09:55.000
Well, that's going to confuse the fuck out of people.
02:10:04.000
That third fight is so stressful, it's not even funny.
02:10:09.000
You lose, you're going back to freaking dancing, shaking your ass for guys.
02:10:24.000
If you're at a high level and you lose two in a row and you're getting paid decent, that third one you better win otherwise you're getting your pink slip.
02:10:33.000
Is that like a hard rule or is that just kind of informal?
02:10:42.000
If you have a good contract, there's certain guys that come in and they're highly touted and they lose a couple of fights in a row.
02:10:48.000
You're making 400 Gs and you lose two in a row, UFC's like, huh?
02:10:52.000
But if they're fun fights, if it's an exciting fight and you're fighting top-level guys, oh, look at that fucking right hand.
02:11:00.000
Tell you what, losing two fights, that third fight, most stressful fight of my career.
02:11:03.000
How long has Phillip been in the UFC? A long time.
02:11:10.000
That's why I told you he's a fucking knocker artist, bro.
02:11:27.000
Allowing, fucking offering you guys to come over to higherprimate.com for free.
02:11:45.000
You know when you meet someone that's so nice, you think they want something from you?
02:11:58.000
When they're so nice, I'm like, yeah, cool, man.
02:12:13.000
Ahmed Ahmed was talking crazy shit to him in a restaurant.
02:12:20.000
He's ready to drag someone outside and fight with him.
02:12:29.000
Well, you think about what it takes to do drums.
02:12:39.000
Calm down about the best drummer in the world, but I understand.
02:12:47.000
Don't know because I'm not a drummer expert, but I'd imagine fucking Neil Pertz got something to say.
02:13:00.000
He's 85 and has a gray bush and his nuts hang down on the drums.
02:13:25.000
There's a lot of people that believe in different things.
02:13:29.000
Josh Barker is definitely one of the best of all time.
02:13:35.000
You need to understand that you're out of your mind, and I've had about enough.
02:13:39.000
And the fact that you don't give tennis, it's true.
02:13:40.000
Neil Peart from Rush is on this, what I just looked up.
02:13:46.000
Chad Smith from Red Hot Chili Peppers is number three.
02:13:51.000
You know, when they say still alive, it's like, is Ali the greatest boxer still alive?
02:13:57.000
Vladimir Klitschko would fuck him up right now.
02:14:00.000
I'm pretty sure Brian would fuck him up right now.
02:14:13.000
Any more questions, Brendan Schaub, who doesn't know anything about drumming?
02:14:25.000
Travis Barker can drum upside down, I'm pretty sure.
02:14:43.000
He's another one that folks consider to be number one.
02:14:48.000
I believe the guy from the Allman Brothers, Greg Allman, who is it who played the drums?
02:15:01.000
By the way, I'll tell you who's a better looking guy than Big Brown, Brennan Schaub, and that would be Mr. Silva.
02:15:15.000
The only thing that I can hope is that this fight goes five fucking rounds.
02:15:25.000
If I was a betting man, I would have bet over on this fight.
02:15:33.000
Over one and a half minus 150. People, if you're out there and you can make a bet, it's going to go past one and a half.
02:15:42.000
It's minus 150, so you have to give away a little bit, but still, I think there's a pretty good chance it's going over one and a half.
02:15:47.000
I would tell you to bet the fucking farm on that.
02:16:03.000
That was a weird pause because he went, good, good.
02:16:42.000
It's some shit that little kids believe is real.
02:16:44.000
A banshee, I believe, and I think is an Irish fairy.
02:16:52.000
Are you trying to, like, gain brownie points from the oxalic acid debacle of an hour ago?
02:16:58.000
Sorry you know the stupidest facts of all time.
02:17:10.000
The toxins in fucking leafy greens will kill you.
02:17:35.000
I don't like looking things up because it's a bore.
02:17:54.000
I drink, I have pressed juices delivered to my house every day.
02:18:01.000
A fairy, a banshee's a fairy woman who begins to wail if someone is about to die.
02:18:08.000
He doesn't say shit unless he knows what he's talking about.
02:18:13.000
If Aubrey doesn't know he's got this crazy thing he does, he goes, I don't know.
02:18:28.000
If somebody has their hood open in their car, I'll come over and give an opinion.
02:18:35.000
I literally will come over and go, find a wrench on the side of the road and pick it up and see if it fits.
02:18:48.000
This is a big fucking fight for Matt Brown and for Eric Silva.
02:19:10.000
But that's also why, allegedly, Aubrey has made a shit-fucked ton of money.
02:19:22.000
There's that one fight where allegedly we won 10 out of 11 on that card.
02:19:27.000
So you allegedly talked to Joe Rogan before you put money allegedly on fights and you're 10 for 11?
02:19:32.000
There's certain ones I go, bet the fucking farm on Tyron Woodley allegedly.
02:19:42.000
You'll go, I talked to a buddy who used to be a Navy SEAL. He gave me contrary advice.
02:19:48.000
I wanted to make him happy, so I showed him my slips.
02:20:10.000
Matt's been out for a little bit and hurt his back.
02:20:16.000
He fucking herniated discs where he had to pull out of a big fight.
02:20:23.000
And herniated discs are not something that heals up real quick, man.
02:20:30.000
It took me a long fucking time of a lot of different types of therapies to deal with my bulging disc that I had.
02:20:44.000
He came to Denver to train with us one time, and I was like, oh, this pace is going to be insane, watching him spar with Neil Magny.
02:20:52.000
It's a different, like, his octagon pace and his sparring pace is completely different.
02:20:59.000
You know, he's probably smart about that in that sense.
02:21:09.000
Beecher's the guy who turned me on into my tattoo artist.
02:21:12.000
Aaron Della Vadova from Guru Tattoo in San Diego.
02:21:47.000
Yeah, I did too, but I had this idea to do this Miyamoto Musashi sleeve.
02:21:51.000
It was kind of important to me, so I said, fuck it.
02:21:57.000
Oh, look at Eric Silva slapping himself before Matt Brown does.
02:22:03.000
Their press poster for this fight was pretty fucking epic.
02:22:11.000
It's like the young lion versus the established lion.
02:22:19.000
I mean, I don't think he's older than 25. I think he is.
02:22:24.000
I want to say he's like 27 or 28. Okay, let's pull it up.
02:22:32.000
I feel like Kim and Bieber were separated at birth.
02:22:39.000
I guess I'm probably basing it on how old he was when he first started in the UFC. He looks 21. He looks 21. Yeah, I kind of forget the guy's age.
02:23:00.000
That guy, he rides one of those little crotch rockets and he takes himself.
02:23:08.000
Yeah, he used to work out and goes all the time.
02:23:15.000
Choked Hoist Gracie unconscious in Rio on the beach.
02:23:44.000
Hoist criticizes Henner and Heron for doing the Gracie University.
02:23:53.000
A lot of guys think that you can't have jiu-jitsu instructions online.
02:24:03.000
Still makes jiu-jitsu available to a lot of people who can't get to the gym.
02:24:10.000
And him and his buddies, they watch videos and they practice together.
02:24:24.000
Boss Ritten said he, in the beginning, was kind of self-taught.
02:24:26.000
Well, he definitely learned a lot of grappling that way.
02:24:33.000
How about when he was doing, like, just demonstrating shit for us?
02:24:37.000
He's getting Regenikine done at the same place where I get mine done.
02:24:44.000
For folks at home, man, here's the thing that my doctor told me.
02:24:47.000
Once you start getting numbness and then you start getting atrophy, if you don't catch that shit quick, you have a small window where your nerves have the possibility...
02:25:00.000
Imagine if he ripped his fucking knee right there.
02:25:04.000
You have a small window when you lose muscle and size.
02:25:10.000
When you start atrophying, it's only a couple of months, he said.
02:25:12.000
And in those couple of months, if you don't get surgery or you don't get something that reduces the pressure on the nerves, those nerves can die off.
02:25:24.000
Because Bas Rudin was telling me, you know, he was trying all these different things to get his nerves back, but it's a long fucking time.
02:25:31.000
He's got this massive atrophy on his right arm.
02:25:34.000
Like, Bas had neck problems all the way back to the Teyoshi Kosaka fight when he won the UFC heavyweight title.
02:25:48.000
And so then, I think he was Sons of Anarchy he was doing stunts for, and he fell on his head, and spiked on his neck, serious fucking pain, herniated disc in the neck, atrophy of the nerves, like the whole deal.
02:26:06.000
He's like one of those guys that if he gets injured, he just sucks it up and keeps working out.
02:26:11.000
He's one of the original fighters who was a freak athlete, I feel like.
02:26:16.000
He was one of the best strikers in the early days of MMA. Nasty striker.
02:26:23.000
Yeah, you can't ask like that because it's so evolved.
02:26:29.000
I try to do the boss route and jumping double kick on the trampoline all the time.
02:26:41.000
I would imagine Matt Brown sets a super high pace.
02:26:53.000
So that pace, there's no way you can do it for five rounds.
02:26:56.000
I don't know what his injury was like, but I know that Matt Serra, when he came back from herniating a disc in his back and he fought GSP, he was really not the same.
02:27:07.000
Most guys, when they injure a disc in their back, your back is a lot like your knee, which is a lot like your brain.
02:27:16.000
A guy doesn't understand what a brain injury is like.
02:27:19.000
When you get KO'd, and then you get KO'd again easily, It's just like tweaking a knee and you rip a ligament and you get it fixed, but then your knee is always kind of sore.
02:27:30.000
When you hurt your back though, it's so different because it's connecting your nerves to all your muscles.
02:27:38.000
Because I've never seen any, except I guess a brain trauma, but I've never seen anything as far as a mixed martial arts related injury that can just end it.
02:27:53.000
I have a friend, and he had two back surgeries, and for whatever reason, it didn't take, and his leg is, he has one leg that's shriveled.
02:28:08.000
He wears sweatpants, he won't wear shorts, and he's all fucked up about it.
02:28:12.000
He's hoping it comes back, but the reality is, if it's more than a certain amount of time, it ain't coming back.
02:28:19.000
So if you're out there and you got any sort of an injury, fucking don't tough it out.
02:28:32.000
I had prolo therapy on my neck and it worked for me.
02:28:42.000
I really did have prolotherapy, and they shot it in my neck.
02:28:45.000
They shoot, I think, a saline solution in your neck.
02:29:03.000
Like, if you looked at the way he moves and strikes and everything like that, you wouldn't, like, there's certain guys, you look at them, like, perfect example, Hector Lombard.
02:29:12.000
You look at a move and you go, oh, fucking Christ.
02:29:25.000
With his back, he might just let him take him down.
02:29:43.000
But he's also, like, eating shots and comes back.
02:30:03.000
But you know, if you can get a hold of a glove, this is a good little break right here.
02:30:19.000
How long does it take to recover from a kick like that?
02:30:21.000
Bro, a tight body kick, you're in trouble for a while.
02:30:28.000
Jordan Meehan dropped him with a fucking body shot.
02:30:41.000
If Matt Brown steps over that, he could at least make his legs uncomfortable.
02:30:48.000
But then when Hickson choked out Funaki, he had his legs crossed too.
02:31:12.000
It's such a weird thing to allegedly bet on the over in a fight.
02:31:15.000
He's got a full body triangle, but he's not rolling towards the triangle side.
02:31:24.000
I've seen a guy tap once from an arm bar from that position.
02:31:28.000
He got two on one on a guy's arm and then extended it.
02:31:34.000
That's exhausting for him though right now, right?
02:31:59.000
Matt Brown, he relishes these kind of fights, man.
02:32:06.000
But Eric Silva tried several times to exert a lot of energy to try to finish him.
02:32:13.000
You see how his heel is blocking his arm from coming in?
02:32:39.000
And this is a kid that wilted against John Fitch.
02:33:25.000
45 fucking seconds is a long time when you're getting beat on.
02:33:40.000
Last thing I want to see is this fight fucking stopped on a DQ. Oh, dude.
02:34:37.000
Looks like Arnold can play some ping pong, actually.
02:34:44.000
Has anybody suffered less from fucking their housekeeper and getting her pregnant than Arnold?
02:34:50.000
He went right into that to several giant movies.
02:34:59.000
I asked him about that and he goes, what did you do?
02:35:03.000
I swear to God, I go, what did you do when that happened?
02:35:06.000
Because he was going to do a movie where he has a Spanish lover and they said, look, you know, it's probably not a good idea.
02:35:15.000
Yeah, he has a remarkable vision of what's going on.
02:35:33.000
You can't blow your wad on this motherfucker because he relishes.
02:35:48.000
I don't think your boy Silva's going to make it.
02:35:50.000
I don't think your boy Silva's going to make it.
02:36:00.000
That's the same kick he fucked Sato up with, his last opponent.
02:36:08.000
Well, I mean, Matt Brown just ate another liver kick.
02:36:24.000
He's got a really weird strength and conditioning program, too.
02:36:28.000
He'll do five-minute rounds, like holding a hundred-pound ball.
02:36:41.000
I'm getting a Matt Brown tattoo, I'll tell you that much.
02:37:13.000
There's no way this kid's lasting five minutes, I'll tell you that.
02:37:17.000
He's not going to win, and he's not going to last.
02:37:25.000
The only thing that's keeping him up right now is heart and will.
02:37:33.000
I've seen him walk around outside the octagon in between fights, and I was like, Jesus.
02:37:42.000
You know, Matt Brown's only upper body workout he does for his arm.
02:37:47.000
Matt Brown, he does dumbbell presses, and that's it.
02:38:00.000
I mean, if he's getting hurt that easy, beautiful takedown.
02:38:03.000
In the side control, Aubrey wins, ladies and gentlemen!
02:38:13.000
He better get energy or even stop the fight here.
02:38:17.000
Matt Brown also has a very good fucking ground game, too.
02:38:19.000
A lot of people don't respect that ground game.
02:39:17.000
Yeah, but Eric Silva doesn't have anything left.
02:39:21.000
You know, I love Herb Dean in these situations.
02:39:24.000
Because look how closely and calmly Herb Dean's looking at this.
02:39:28.000
And I like how he took a knee so his legs don't burn out like the big guy.
02:40:02.000
If you had bit the over for two rounds, you'd be having a goddamn heart attack right now.
02:40:09.000
Matt Brown's going to get his back for the end of this round.
02:40:15.000
He just needs to attack the ground and pound the body.
02:40:18.000
I feel sorry for the people that are watching this online that are 15 seconds behind.
02:40:24.000
Because we're like, we're talking, meanwhile the fight could be over.
02:40:49.000
Let's go back to this, because we're in between rounds.
02:41:01.000
Don't ever try to go into acting after you're done fighting.
02:41:11.000
He's looking at me like, let's not talk about this.
02:41:34.000
Well, I rolled with Huron last week for the first time in about six months because he's had a neck issue.
02:42:04.000
This is a matter of whether or not Eric Silva has that second wind in him.
02:42:10.000
These motherfuckers that cut all this incredible weight...
02:42:41.000
You know who I would fucking love to see fight Matt Brown?
02:42:46.000
I think that might be the greatest fight in the history of the universe.
02:42:52.000
Matt Brown versus Nick Diaz might be the greatest matchup of all time.
02:43:01.000
Well, you know, Diaz is not a guy that's going to wilt like Eric Silva is.
02:43:06.000
I think there's a lot of people that do great in training, and they do great when they're not cutting the weight, and then they cut the weight and they think they're going to be okay, but they don't take into account the diminished...
02:43:23.000
When you're in a war like this, you really shouldn't be fighting a fucking guy like this at 170 pounds.
02:43:29.000
You know in football games when it gets to the- Oh!
02:43:31.000
In overtime when they go, this is a war of nutrition.
02:43:48.000
I'd probably let that go if this wasn't on the internet.
02:43:55.000
Now they're going to look to stop it with the bleeding.
02:44:34.000
I wonder what he's going to say about his ribs.
02:44:56.000
Well, he did in the first round, but really the only thing he did is that one left kick to the body.
02:45:23.000
I'm super impressed that he bounced back from those herniated discs, too.
02:45:42.000
They were talking about it on my message board.
02:45:49.000
You have to carry it with your hips and he carries it for five rounds and moves around with it.
02:46:01.000
All a bunch of things that his strength and conditioning coach is some pretty controversial ideas.
02:46:05.000
Monday you're going to see on my Instagram me just carrying a big ass water bottle around not knowing what the fuck I'm doing.
02:46:18.000
The thing about a barrel is you can't clasp your hands around.
02:46:26.000
You have to have your hips into what you're saying.
02:46:28.000
You have to have your hips into it the same way you would take a person down.
02:46:31.000
Because you have bad technique, you're not going to be able to hold the barrel up very long.
02:46:36.000
I'll tell you what, these little skinny neck bitches don't know shit about MMA. Shut your mouth.
02:46:58.000
I think this is probably the greatest idea we've ever had, ever, collectively.
02:47:12.000
He's realizing right now, I'm not going to be the champion.
02:47:19.000
I'm not going to beat guys like him, and I'm not going to beat guys that can beat him.
02:47:22.000
Maybe he needs to fight at 85. Yeah, well, maybe he needs to stop lifting weights.
02:47:46.000
I would say I would definitely let him fight for the title.
02:47:51.000
I mean, Hendricks right now, Johnny has to recover from torn bicep surgery.
02:47:56.000
This is the thing about the top of the food chain.
02:47:58.000
So if you're fighting Woodley, if you're fighting Roy McDonald, you're fighting Hendricks, and you come forward like that, you're going to take it down.
02:48:10.000
Now him versus Carlos Condit, that's an amazing fight.
02:48:20.000
I'm just saying, certain guys, the top three guys at the very top are horrible matchups for him.
02:48:30.000
What if Woodley beats Hendricks for the title, Matt Brown fights Woodley, and it gets into the fourth round?
02:48:38.000
The thing about this motherfucker is, look, I don't think there's a baddest man on the planet anymore.
02:48:47.000
But this kid, man, I'm telling you, Matt Brown might be as fierce as anybody I've ever seen fight.
02:48:54.000
Everybody was saying that when he was in the Octagon.
02:48:57.000
Or rather, when he was on the Ultimate Fighter.
02:49:05.000
And I don't think people realize breaking another UFC fighter is insane.
02:49:10.000
Especially when they're ranked number 14 in the world.
02:49:13.000
I mean, think about the gritty guys you've seen.
02:49:17.000
I mean, out of all the guys who have fought in the UFC, who's fiercer?
02:49:26.000
But he was also juiced to the gills, let's be honest.
02:49:31.000
That guy's having a real struggle tying that belt.
02:49:34.000
Yeah, that guy needs to learn how to tie a belt.
02:49:36.000
You can't give a belt if you don't know how to tie a belt.
02:49:54.000
You will go to your fucking room when your dad tells you to go to your room.
02:49:59.000
Those kids, they just watch some crazy shit that they don't understand.
02:50:12.000
Jon Jones, 11. Hennon Burrell, 7. Matt Brown, 7. Damn.
02:50:26.000
None of those guys have ever lost in the Arctic.
02:50:28.000
The last time Matt lost was Seth Pazinski, which is pretty crazy.
02:50:39.000
But I'm just saying after a war like that, he's fine.
02:50:45.000
You know, he's talked about it quite a bit in the pre-fight that it's two and a half to one.
02:50:52.000
He's like, I've won six fucking fights in a row.
02:50:57.000
And then you look at the guys that Eric Silva fought and lost to.
02:51:06.000
But how are you going to have that kid losing to that guy, beating Sato, and then coming off of that fight being a two-to-one favorite?
02:51:24.000
I'm going to quit the UFC and just do this with you guys.
02:51:42.000
We just did this right from the comfort of the podcast studio and fucking might have been my favorite podcast of all time.
02:52:12.000
That he does, but look, all over him, working the neck crank.
02:52:25.000
When I ran into Silva in Brazil, I swear to God, the kid had to be 200 pounds.
02:52:38.000
It's like, they call it a crescent kick, but it's not a crescent kick, because it's a front kick, because it's with the ball, the foot.
02:52:46.000
Probably the same spot where he got hurt before.
02:52:50.000
Eric Silva was just overwhelmed by the ferocity of Matt Brown.
02:52:57.000
I tell you what, I'm going to say it right now, Matt Brown's my favorite fighter.
02:53:16.000
You're not going to sit back and make it look pretty.
02:53:20.000
When you sign up to fight Matt Brown, you better get ready to have a crazy pace.
02:53:30.000
He must have won a lot of Fight of the Night bonuses.
02:53:32.000
Oh, well, if he didn't, there's a fucking terrible travesty.
02:53:50.000
We're going to talk about flying through the jungles of Peru.
02:54:01.000
I hung out with Gandalf the White Wizard for a week.
02:54:15.000
O-N-N-I-T. Use the code word ROGEN. Save 10% off any and all supplements.
02:54:27.000
We're really consolidating all the unconventional workouts and stuff like that.
02:54:42.000
And we got a kettlebell for your ass coming out soon, too.
02:54:46.000
The motherfucker of all kettlebells coming out.
02:54:50.000
How much time do you think before that comes out?
02:54:55.000
Six months from now, your dick will be hard as steel.
02:55:02.000
Your dick will be harder than Rogan eating that stuff from GNC 10 years ago?
02:55:09.000
Between now and then, though, please get in shape so you can use this fucking thing.
02:55:26.000
I bet he could pull a 70-pound bow without having a fucking hernia.
02:55:31.000
But you struggled with a 60. I don't have the video on that.
02:55:36.000
I was worried he was going to shoot in my neighbor's yard.
02:55:40.000
Guys, I had hit my back that day, so I didn't want to herniate.
02:55:52.000
