Transcript
00:00:07.000
Brendan Schaub's face when I ask for my money tomorrow at Fight Companion.
00:00:20.000
First of all, what the fuck are we doing, boys?
00:00:25.000
We're in this fucking studio for live fights from the Philippines.
00:00:29.000
If you're listening to this podcast, this is not a regular podcast.
00:00:32.000
This is what we call a fight companion podcast, which means the fights are on, and we're bullshit, and 99 times out of 100, we're not even talking about the fight.
00:00:41.000
Some of the most hilarious and entertaining fight companions, or podcasts, rather, turn out From this.
00:00:54.000
My man Eddie Bravo is here, jiu-jitsu master, music producer, cool motherfucker, best friend.
00:01:00.000
Aubrey Marcus, my brother, warrior, shaman, poet, character.
00:01:17.000
Host of the Fighter and the Kid podcast, all around cool motherfucker again.
00:01:21.000
And Jamie Vernon, who came with the Krispy Kreme this morning like a motherfucker.
00:01:27.000
Aubrey, by the way, I want to applaud you on your discipline.
00:01:50.000
We are here watching highlights of Costa Philippou smashing people.
00:02:11.000
Well, the Philippines, can you imagine if you could catch it right after Manny Pacquiao won?
00:02:19.000
Did you see those videos, those photos of all the people watching?
00:02:25.000
It's the one day where there's no crime in the Philippines.
00:02:40.000
It's like, fuck that dude, let's go rob someone.
00:03:23.000
People used to think I was Filipino growing up, so fuck that.
00:03:33.000
But your boy, Aaron Hernandez, did he get convicted yesterday?
00:03:54.000
You could probably buy an island for like two grand, right?
00:03:57.000
Well, sometimes they only stick around for a couple months and they go underwater.
00:04:04.000
They have like an odds thing, like the realtors.
00:04:07.000
You know, it's at the 30% line right now that it'll be underwater within five years.
00:04:17.000
That's like super gangster money if you could buy an island.
00:04:20.000
Yeah, I knew it was over a thousand and I thought it was thousands.
00:04:28.000
I know the Boston Bomber dude got the death penalty.
00:04:42.000
Because he got convicted of the one murder of Odin Lloyd, right?
00:04:56.000
Anyone who knows him said they can't believe he made it this long without getting caught.
00:05:16.000
Won a national championship and a Super Bowl with the Patriots.
00:05:40.000
And the one team he should have been drafted to was the New England Patriots.
00:05:59.000
So they were saying if he got drafted by any other team, I mean, I'm sure he still would have killed bitches, but it was just way worse because he had all his homies there, and then you got $40 million.
00:06:25.000
I think Tom Brady would have beat them no matter what.
00:06:51.000
The quarterback before the game would feel the ball.
00:06:54.000
So there's an Indianapolis Colts ball, and then there's a New England Patriots ball.
00:06:59.000
Well, they're saying Tom's was deflated, so it made it.
00:07:06.000
But all the NFL's like, it doesn't fucking matter.
00:07:17.000
How many games did Ray Rice get suspended for beating the shit out of his girlfriend?
00:07:27.000
You fucking dummies, you gotta at least suspend that guy for as many times.
00:07:45.000
Remember how Razor Ruddock used to throw that shovel hook?
00:07:53.000
No, Tommy Morrison's left hook, he would leap in with the power.
00:07:57.000
No, Razor Ruddock would catch bitches moving away.
00:08:19.000
It was kind of a bullshit stoppage, but he did rock him with a left hook.
00:08:22.000
He cracked him with a left hook and hurt him, then just threw a bunch of punches at his arms.
00:08:27.000
I saw it, because I actually was a Tommy Morrison fan.
00:08:33.000
Mexicans and blacks are just killing everybody in boxing.
00:08:37.000
I'm not white, but I would pull for the white guy because I felt sorry for him.
00:08:53.000
He was supposed to just go right through Michael Bent, and Michael Bent just lit him.
00:08:58.000
It was one of the most brutal knockouts in boxing history.
00:09:16.000
Well, most people with AIDS, they're not that healthy.
00:09:22.000
He never even came close to having AIDS. They gave him the best medicine available.
00:09:29.000
But Morrison, before he died, had pec implants.
00:09:32.000
It was really crazy, and he was methed out of his fucking mind.
00:09:43.000
The crazy thing about meth is there's people that have done meth their whole fucking life, and they're still alive.
00:09:51.000
Ten years of doing meth, and how does your body adapt?
00:09:58.000
Terry Hill, the referee, is standing in the middle of the octagon.
00:10:03.000
Who is the referee that let Mark Hunt almost get his brains beaten in by Stipe Miocic?
00:10:15.000
One of them is Adiva in the red and Makashvili.
00:10:33.000
They made a bet during the last UFC Fight Companion that Brendan Schaub's boy, Pat Cummins, was going to beat OSP, otherwise known as Ovin St. Preux.
00:10:45.000
Ovin St. Preux shut them lights out in the first round.
00:11:32.000
Hey, listen, Faber's a bad motherfucker, no doubt about it.
00:11:36.000
But Frankie Edgar, man, it's hard to bet against him at 45. That's a hard...
00:13:20.000
And you know, Frankie fought at 55. Frankie's small, though, man.
00:13:23.000
Yes, but still, he could handle dudes at 55. Right, but don't you think that Faber will, for his age, I think he just turned 37?
00:13:35.000
As you get older, it's probably harder and harder to fight really well after you cut weight.
00:13:46.000
You can't go back to the time he fought for the title at 45 against Aldo.
00:13:51.000
Because I really feel like back then, that's a different Faber than you see now.
00:14:01.000
Nobody had the ground and pound Faber had back in the day.
00:14:10.000
Right in the beginning, Faber's game was, I'm going to take you down.
00:14:15.000
I'm going to stay in your guard, and I'm going to clinch down on you and stack you and smash you, and then do like a back extension thing, explosion up.
00:14:24.000
Bring the bottom dude up, and then he comes down and hits you with an elbow as you hit the ground.
00:14:44.000
Why do you think more people didn't do ground and pound like him?
00:14:48.000
Is it the guys are just so light, you can do that?
00:14:50.000
He picks dudes up and smashes them, you know what I mean?
00:14:57.000
To this day, sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and go, oof.
00:15:02.000
Definitely, if those weren't the best elbows in the guard in MMA, they were top three.
00:15:17.000
But think how long John is to choose those elbows.
00:15:21.000
But there was something really special about Krokop doing it because, first of all, it came out of him being on top.
00:15:30.000
And all he was complaining about before the fight was grappling and elbows are ruining MMA. And that's his spot.
00:15:42.000
He should bring in wrestlers to start working his takedowns.
00:15:46.000
He needs to take motherfuckers down, put in the guard.
00:16:02.000
So I believe he should be in the garden fucking people up based on that performance.
00:16:16.000
Didn't you say he's the strongest dude you ever fought?
00:16:23.000
Well, maybe you can learn how to take people down.
00:16:26.000
Every bit of fucking 40, he's going to switch into a grappler.
00:16:29.000
Isn't it weird that Weidman is not the main event next week?
00:16:34.000
Like, Weidman, Belfort, that feels like the main event for me.
00:16:37.000
Not that there's anything wrong with Cormier Johnson.
00:16:46.000
They took Jon Joe's title away from non-fighting activity type shit.
00:16:59.000
However, even if he's not training and he's sitting in jail where the fuck he's at, he's still the best fighter on the planet.
00:17:12.000
The only one who had a chance of proving that is Rumble.
00:17:15.000
Because if Rumble beats Cormier, we still don't know if he would have been able to beat Jones.
00:17:19.000
If Cormier beats Rumble, then we're in this weird spot where we got this guy who's clearly...
00:17:27.000
Fresh out of prison, just a gut ready to destroy somebody.
00:17:32.000
Yeah, he's gonna be a heavyweight and come out of prison.
00:17:44.000
The only way it'll work out, the only way it'll work out, apparently, is if he makes some sort of a settlement with the woman.
00:17:50.000
Like, they get together and he says, look, here's a million bucks.
00:17:55.000
Signs of paperwork, which is very possible and the smart thing to do if you don't want to go to jail.
00:18:07.000
The criminal charges come from the police, right?
00:18:11.000
But I think it's lessened in some sort of a strange way if the woman won't press charges.
00:18:27.000
This is where he's fucked, because if you leave the scene, you can say, whatever, head trauma, I was fucked up, I was out of it, so I ran.
00:18:35.000
If you're smart enough to come back and get your cash and then run off, now you're fucked.
00:18:41.000
Because you were smart enough to go, oh, hold up, my cash is there.
00:18:48.000
Like, you've seen a fucking dude in a hoodie grab some shit with his hand that looks like cash.
00:18:53.000
There could have been a bunch of other things involved in that hand.
00:18:56.000
You know, I mean, who knows what the fuck he grabbed.
00:19:05.000
I think he was high, and you've got to remember, he got in trouble before.
00:19:10.000
And from what I've heard is, if you leave the scene, you're less likely to get in trouble.
00:19:18.000
I heard a cop say, if you get in an accident and you are high and you run, that's the best...
00:19:32.000
If you're higher on substance and you run, the charges are less.
00:19:37.000
He said, because a DUI, that's going to fuck you up way worse than fleeing the scene, because now they don't know if you are intoxicated.
00:19:51.000
Well, I think Jon had already had that one DUI, and if he was, in fact, fucked up, he was probably in full panic mode.
00:20:02.000
He had Instagram pictures constantly all the time, and he knew that was going away.
00:20:27.000
He probably done ayahuasca like 30 times already.
00:20:34.000
Yeah, like the WWE. He's got to realize that he's operating on momentum, meaning that I think what Jon Jones is doing right now, I think life is almost out of control for him.
00:20:45.000
I think the overwhelming, all the pressure, all the craziness involved in being the youngest ever UFC champion, the light heavyweight champion, the crazy fucking fights, and knowing that...
00:20:57.000
Some of his fights, he's had really shitty camps.
00:21:00.000
So you want to cage that line and be like, listen, none of that.
00:21:11.000
It's just he's so good that he can get by, with all the training he's already done, being half out of shape and beat a guy like Alexander Gustafson.
00:21:18.000
But I think if you take a guy like that, and you say, alright man, you gotta quit being you, and you gotta live in this house, 9 to 5, go to training, come back, you can't party, you can't do any of that, he's not gonna be as good or as creative.
00:21:33.000
Like, we don't know, because we've never seen him do it.
00:21:35.000
He was supposed to be doing it for this fight, obviously he wasn't.
00:21:51.000
Tyson in his prime would be coked up in fights.
00:21:55.000
That's not clear, because he doesn't really say...
00:22:02.000
He's saying he was doing coke during that time, but he's not specifically saying that he was doing it in the fight.
00:22:08.000
Lawrence Taylor came out and admitted he played high all the time on cocaine.
00:22:15.000
Is it a rumor or is it a fact that Joe Montana had problems with coke?
00:22:22.000
How dare you bring Joe All-American to Montana?
00:22:24.000
Tyson admits to being high on drugs during major fights and using a fake penis to avoid detection.
00:22:49.000
Bro, if you're doing it that close to a fight, you got a problem.
00:22:54.000
I think for him, he's just got to reconcile who he truly is.
00:22:59.000
I think he tried to play this, I'm a nice guy, and then that kind of got busted with DC, and then he was kind of left...
00:23:05.000
With this perception gap of what he was trying to portray and what he actually knew that he was deep inside.
00:23:11.000
And I think he's just got to reconcile that and just be truly what he is.
00:23:15.000
If he's a fucking savage, just be a fucking savage.
00:23:23.000
Yeah, but Chuck Liddell was a different kind of dude.
00:23:26.000
Chuck Liddell was a wild party dude, but he wasn't...
00:23:29.000
What John Jones, his situation is, first of all, driving drunk.
00:23:35.000
I guarantee he'd probably get limos or something like that.
00:23:58.000
He's just talking about how he fucked these dudes up.
00:24:15.000
And I'm not just saying that because he's a friend of mine.
00:24:27.000
I say Jon Jones should just be the Chuck Liddell of the 2000s.
00:24:31.000
I just don't think you can make the comparison.
00:24:34.000
Chuck Liddell was never thought of as a bad guy.
00:24:37.000
I mean, he liked to party, but people think of John as a bad guy.
00:24:44.000
There was no reconciliation that needed to happen.
00:24:51.000
It's just a weird thing to see a guy as young and talented as John repeat the same mistakes that you've seen all these other young, talented guys do.
00:25:09.000
Yeah, we literally, I have no idea who won this fight.
00:25:15.000
This is like watching the fights in the stands, though.
00:25:18.000
If you watch the fights in the stands, like, sometimes, like, before I would work for the UFC, we would watch fights in the stands, and someone would go, what?
00:25:32.000
Dude, how about those first UFCs when Zufo took over?
00:25:36.000
And we were all dreaming of that day where the UFC would be at MGM or Mandalay.
00:25:44.000
Like, one of these days, dude, one of these days.
00:26:14.000
I know we were there for Sakurai and Matt Hughes.
00:26:24.000
And, Joe, so what do you think of the UFC? Yeah.
00:26:26.000
And then Joe would just be like, he'd just rattle off like the coolest line and go, the UFC is kind of like baseball.
00:26:33.000
This cool ass quote that he would just have ready to go.
00:26:36.000
And then they would use that in the promos for the next UFC. And then they just asked him like, shit, will you commentate?
00:26:44.000
Then once he started commenting, I'm like sitting there by myself.
00:26:56.000
Because to get those kind of seats, two is the maximum.
00:26:59.000
They're not going to give you four of those motherfuckers.
00:27:01.000
You're going to get two, or you're going to get one, and you're going to be happy with it, right?
00:27:14.000
We were there before I even worked for the UFC, so that was like 2001. And there's a video that's on YouTube still where Brian Callen went once.
00:27:24.000
And we were pre-gaming in the hotel room at the MGM, and it was one of those first five UFCs in Vegas.
00:27:31.000
We were like in Vegas, in a hotel room, getting blitzed.
00:27:57.000
He does it, and it was one of the funniest things of all time.
00:28:03.000
We got kicked out of the hotel because there was so much- Gay porn star!
00:28:10.000
Yeah, you're gonna get some weird stuff, my man.
00:28:17.000
This is one of the funniest goddamn things Brian Callen has ever done.
00:28:24.000
It was back when people put easter eggs in their DVD. So the video you get is this tiny little fucking video.
00:28:46.000
This is his Henzo Gracie impression, by the way.
00:28:55.000
I just take a guy sometimes, put him to my mat, I make...
00:29:41.000
Can you explain to me the corn when you have the sex?
00:29:51.000
If I take a corn, there's going to be one here.
00:30:17.000
And this is probably 2001. This is 14 years ago.
00:30:32.000
We left that hotel room and the security guard was coming down the hallway.
00:30:36.000
And we were like, no, we don't know what you're talking about.
00:30:43.000
That was 2001 or 2002, but I wasn't even working for the UFC back then.
00:30:54.000
Yeah, and then he'd always rattle off this cool-ass quote, and then Dana just thought, man, you want to commentate a whole show?
00:31:00.000
And then Joe goes, dude, you want me to commentate?
00:31:03.000
Commentating is fun, but this might be the shit.
00:31:52.000
What I'm saying is, though, it's weird to do that while you're fighting.
00:32:04.000
Did you do like a bunch of weird drugs before you came in?
00:32:24.000
If you're getting hot enough girls, there's no reason to pick.
00:32:27.000
They have pretty faces, nice titties, perfect ass, small waist.
00:32:32.000
I mean, the titty's just like the rest of the body.
00:32:36.000
What do you mean it's like the rest of the body?
00:32:39.000
It's not really a sex organ unless you're like a baby.
00:32:45.000
What about when your girl's on top and she's force-feeding you those while riding the dick?
00:33:09.000
It's early, so I'm going to give you a hall pass.
00:33:16.000
I think the female memories look better in clothes, like when they're kind of hanging out, they're like nice, they're fake, and they're better hanging out, you know what I mean?
00:33:26.000
That's like, you know, you can't deny that you're just like, damn!
00:33:30.000
You could almost see the nipple and you could just...
00:33:38.000
Because it's not like a bag of water like the olden days.
00:33:47.000
It's very similar to the texture of an actual breast.
00:33:56.000
Dude, do you remember those porns where the guy would be banging the girl, and they would have these weird striation lines underneath their tits.
00:34:13.000
I worked in the strip club industry for 10 years.
00:34:16.000
Yeah, but I mean, you know, in porn, when it was real bright.
00:34:19.000
See, the thing about porn is that, like, you know, they're fucking close up in HD. When HD came along to porn, the whole fucking game got weird.
00:34:26.000
Because then you could see those nipple scars, where they just take a fucking apple core to the nipple and just stuff a bag in there.
00:34:42.000
They go through the armpit or the nipples or below the breast, too.
00:34:47.000
Man, I don't think going through the nipples is a good idea.
00:34:52.000
It seems like your nipples are going to look all Frankenstein-ish.
00:35:02.000
That'd be like dick surgery going through the balls.
00:35:17.000
He was, like, when he was on The Ultimate Fighter, Dana White thought that that dude was going to be, like, the next Anderson Silva.
00:35:24.000
Well, he was knocking people fucking dead when he was on The Ultimate Fighter.
00:35:28.000
Yeah, you don't call him Anderson Silva, though, huh?
00:35:31.000
Well, it was also the problem was you have to really be considering what it's hot in here, huh?
00:35:36.000
We need some AC. Can we put a little AC on, young Jamie?
00:35:44.000
He was fucking people up on the Ultimate Fighter.
00:35:47.000
You've got to think of the quality of opposition that he's facing.
00:35:52.000
I mean, he looked like a killer against good guys.
00:35:57.000
That's why when they bring me on the UFC to talk to guys, I'm like, this is just a tryout to get on the roster.
00:36:06.000
Then you get in the UFC and you're fighting legit, professional...
00:36:12.000
I went from D'Amico Rogers, who had three fights, to Gabriel Gonzaga within, like, whatever, a year, year and a half.
00:36:18.000
Isn't it a weird thing that they, that is a crazy, like, fast track to, like, elite competition.
00:36:28.000
Like, there's a few that could, like, swim, that could make that swim.
00:36:31.000
I think if you have that, like, a, yeah, if you have a serious, like, wrestling background, it really helps you.
00:36:41.000
Calvin Gastelum is in the mix right now at 170. Well, if he makes 170. He fights Nate Mark Hartman, who's our vet.
00:36:50.000
And really interesting only because you've got to factor in how much mileage Nate has on him.
00:36:58.000
And I'm going to bring him in here to have the Joe Rogan talk.
00:37:02.000
I can't have it with him, because then he'll have the Jesus talk with me, and we'll be at a standstill.
00:37:10.000
The only reason why the Joe Rogan talk exists is because I love you.
00:37:14.000
I'm just saying, with Nate, I... I wish someone could get through them.
00:37:19.000
When I started, Nate was the baddest motherfucker ever.
00:37:28.000
You name them, they would, like, GSP would fly Nate to Montreal, Rashad Evans, all these guys.
00:37:35.000
So now when I watch him fight, I'm like, oh my god, he's a shell.
00:37:38.000
I'm going to take some heat for saying that from my friends, but he is.
00:37:46.000
Your body can only take so many body slams, chokes, arm bars, head kicks.
00:37:50.000
All those things add up, and you get to a point, unless you're Vitor Velford.
00:37:56.000
Well, I think they're on UFC 12. I think they're on different supplements.
00:38:04.000
You gotta realize, dude, Nate's been fighting, hold, hold, since he was 17. What?
00:38:14.000
And you don't think they're both doing the same nutritional type things?
00:38:18.000
Even though Nate has been busted, but different.
00:38:21.000
His levels were so high when they pulled him off of that fight.
00:38:28.000
Like, you can't let a guy fight with those levels.
00:38:30.000
Hey, man, just trying to get testosterone going.
00:38:33.000
This is coming right from the head of the Athletic Commission to my fucking heroes.
00:38:39.000
He was like, we can't let a guy fight like that.
00:38:43.000
Like, they have levels that you're supposed to be with.
00:38:45.000
That was, by the way, when he was having legal TRT. Yeah.
00:39:01.000
He tested, when he came to Vegas, they tested him, and this is one of the reasons why they pulled the whole TRT thing in the first place.
00:39:07.000
They made it publicly aware, so I'm not saying anything that people don't know.
00:39:13.000
A healthy man is like 500, like a healthy young man in his prime.
00:39:17.000
800 if you're some stud, some fucking Herschel Walker stud.
00:39:34.000
He developed kicks when there's a lot of guys out there that just stuck with boxing.
00:39:48.000
There's all these guys out there that are just boxing.
00:39:54.000
And you know, the other thing happened is Vitor broke his hands so many times.
00:40:01.000
He told me he had seven operations on his hands.
00:40:05.000
When I met him in Brazil, one of the times I met him in Brazil, like maybe like...
00:40:09.000
Three years ago or so, he had a pin in his hand while we were eating.
00:40:13.000
Goldberg and I are at a restaurant eating, and they have these pins, and then they pull them out when they're done, like my daughter had to get one when she broke her arm.
00:40:24.000
So he's hanging out with us, and he's like, you know, I got to get this pulled out right here.
00:40:30.000
I'm like, how many times do you break your hand?
00:40:35.000
They do with some really significant compound injuries.
00:40:45.000
If you see this big scar, my whole thumb here is metal.
00:41:05.000
So, Felipe Novera, he hasn't fought in the UFC in a long time, right?
00:41:14.000
I know when the UFC cut him, he did still have some fights.
00:41:19.000
Yeah, he's been training at Henzo's and just kind of doing work.
00:41:26.000
Didn't he have, he had like a medical condition.
00:41:35.000
I'm pretty sure there was something where they were saying he might not ever be able to fight again.
00:42:11.000
He was like a purple when he was on the Ultimate Fighter.
00:42:25.000
Which is probably one of the reasons why they brought him in here.
00:42:32.000
When the UFC goes back to Dublin, I imagine they're going to get every fucking Irish fighter they could possibly imagine and put him on the card.
00:42:43.000
Because they do the same thing in Mexico, right?
00:43:13.000
Yeah, but if it was anybody else, I would agree with you, but Kane is superhuman, dude.
00:43:19.000
I agree, but Verdum's just getting better and better and better.
00:43:27.000
And enjoy trying to ground and pound him, apparently.
00:43:29.000
You know, according to Ryan Parsons, he said when he was training with King Mo, he said they would take Verdum down and nothing they did worked.
00:43:37.000
He's like, none of the ground and pound worked on him.
00:43:39.000
He goes, it's the most ridiculous thing you've ever seen in your life.
00:43:43.000
Once he starts getting his feet on your hips and manipulating you around, you've never seen a guard like that.
00:43:51.000
You don't realize how tall fucking Verdum is, man.
00:43:55.000
Remember when he kipped up and then kicked fucking Travis Brown in the body?
00:43:59.000
Kipped up from his back and then whacked him with a kick.
00:44:04.000
I think Cain Velasquez will take down Verdun at will.
00:44:39.000
I don't think Verdum's wrestling is world class.
00:44:46.000
It's probably better for him than getting clinched.
00:44:52.000
If I'm Fabricio Verdum and my jiu-jitsu is that fucking nasty, and Kane wants to get me against Cage with Unhook, cool, man.
00:45:00.000
I'm jumping to half guard and we're playing my game.
00:45:09.000
Felipe Novera, meanwhile, looking fucking good.
00:45:16.000
Good transitions between striking and the grappling.
00:45:18.000
You see that video with Feras showing how to pull guard?
00:45:22.000
Like, he calls it pulling web, web guard, where it's like pulling guard, but he's going right for arm bars.
00:45:28.000
He's just getting right into spiderweb standards.
00:45:40.000
He's really working on pulling guard by actually doing flying arm bars.
00:45:49.000
So he's setting it up and he's going up and he's swinging people down and hooking their legs and not necessarily going for the arm bar.
00:45:56.000
Letting you defend, using that as a hook and then hooking your legs and then just putting you on your back and then finishing.
00:46:05.000
There's no one out there really working on a pulling guard by throwing flying arm bars.
00:46:10.000
It's like basically a flying toss or a flying swim move, depending on what the guy does.
00:46:16.000
Roy McDonald tried it when he competed in a jiu-jitsu match.
00:46:46.000
There's some guys out there in judo that aren't going for the throw.
00:46:52.000
I think that they should have let Aoki wear those fucking tights.
00:47:05.000
I mean, if you have fucking hand wraps on you and you have gloves that pad your knuckles that allow you to punch T off on someone with impunity, a guy should have some fucking tights on.
00:47:26.000
You want him to wear wrestling shoes and you don't like fake titties?
00:47:29.000
Isn't it crazy that you could wear tights, they could go up to your knees, but it's illegal if they go to your fucking ankles.
00:47:43.000
Right here, for some reason, the calf and the shin, if you cover that with a The same material that you're covering your ass and your thighs with, if you cover that part, that's illegal.
00:47:58.000
Well, Sadiropoulos tried to, you guys tried to kind of juke the game.
00:48:01.000
They had, like, shorts that go down almost to the knees.
00:48:04.000
Then they had neap sleeves that went over that, and then ankle sleeves.
00:48:14.000
He came out with two knee braces, two ankle braces.
00:48:23.000
You could wear knee sleeves and you could wear ankle sleeves.
00:48:25.000
I know, but if you need all that shit, it might be time to kind of move on with your life, you know what I'm saying?
00:48:30.000
That's like saying to a wide receiver, oh, you're wearing gloves in the rain?
00:48:41.000
Making gloves illegal in the NFL, it's exactly the same thing.
00:49:02.000
Novera is, like, really active off of his back.
00:49:53.000
If he had the flexibility, he would have cinched it right away.
00:49:56.000
He needed time to adjust, and that guy didn't give him time.
00:49:59.000
He just drove his shoulder and broke that shit off.
00:50:01.000
But again, on that Eddie Bravo program, start stretching all the time between commercials.
00:50:27.000
Nover's showing some fucking good grappling skills.
00:50:33.000
That Henzo Gracie team, what a bunch of fucking killers they've got, huh?
00:50:41.000
Eddie Cummings is the Marcelo Garcia of leg locks right now.
00:50:46.000
He just won the Abu Dhabi Trials, finished everybody, four guys.
00:50:54.000
Three dudes, and then the last dude, he armbarred them.
00:50:59.000
He was sitting right there when Gary Totem was here.
00:51:20.000
It's probably something else, but in that area...
00:51:30.000
Yeah, one fork and one fucking bowl or some shit.
00:51:32.000
Well, he's also got like rules to live your life by.
00:51:43.000
The girl has to be under 25. The girl has to be more wealthy than you.
00:51:51.000
And it's the only way you should ever get married is under these circumstances.
00:51:57.000
I love the guy, but he's also the guy who'll wear a rash guard and jeans to the bar.
00:52:03.000
Donagher apparently wears rash guards to weddings.
00:52:09.000
Apparently he has something really fucked up with his knee, though, which is why he never competed.
00:52:19.000
He's taking some ferocious ground and pound here, man.
00:52:22.000
Who knows what those sponsors are in the Asia, dude.
00:52:46.000
I haven't been paying close enough attention to...
00:52:56.000
When am I getting one of them Chickenhead Social Club shirts?
00:53:03.000
Look at this, ladies and gentlemen, fighterandthekid.com.
00:53:17.000
When Aubrey was on the show, I said, what drug did you tell me to do?
00:53:21.000
I said, we're going to do some Wachuma, and Brian goes, yeah, we'll just turn into Eagles with our Eagle Dicks and clothes.
00:53:36.000
May 24th, and his first show is already sold out.
00:53:40.000
There'll be two shows, May 24th, at the Irvine Improv.
00:53:47.000
I think he's filming it, and then he's going to sell it to people, which is sometimes the best way to do it.
00:53:53.000
And that way, no one will be fucking with it, too.
00:53:55.000
You don't want anybody fucking with the material.
00:54:01.000
The world needs to know how funny that dude is.
00:54:06.000
If you were in New York City, yeah, he's at Gotham Comedy Club tonight.
00:54:44.000
You better knock some bitches out, talk some shit.
00:54:46.000
Somebody said there's 600 people on the roster now.
00:54:52.000
Last I heard it was like high 400s, and that was a while ago.
00:54:59.000
But it's because the international scene's growing like a motherfucker.
00:55:14.000
What is that guard called, Eddie, with the underhook on one side, sort of like London when the leg comes over the top?
00:55:27.000
It's not like a rubber guard, not like mission control.
00:55:36.000
But you know that thing that everybody does, where they grab it like this and sort of hold on like that.
00:55:55.000
But I thought, didn't Nino Chambri, didn't he have- Oh, look at this.
00:56:13.000
This last week, man, I did hot yoga for the first time in years.
00:56:26.000
Yeah, I'm just going to start going all the time.
00:56:28.000
What do you mean nothing bothers you after that?
00:56:36.000
Oh yeah, you definitely get a little sore because there's a lot of crazy stretching.
00:56:39.000
If you were sore before and then you did it, would it cure your soreness?
00:56:58.000
I think just as a relaxation, there's something about pulling all the tension out of your muscles, all the stretching and all the holding positions.
00:57:10.000
Caught in the guard, but he's going to go for the arm triangle.
00:57:16.000
If he's got the super squeeze, he might be able to pull this off.
00:57:20.000
He should grab his left leg with his right hand.
00:57:25.000
Gabe will grip both hands around the knee, and he'll be totally fine.
00:57:36.000
Yeah, mounting and knee on the belly will prevent that, but the mount's probably even better.
00:57:43.000
You just get more power if you've got knee on the belly, but the mount, there's no way he can defend it from the mount.
00:57:57.000
No, it's only jailbreak if he would have side control.
00:58:02.000
But to stuff it in like that, good dexterity, right?
00:58:06.000
That's one of the differences between a guy like you and a guy who doesn't have that flexibility and dexterity.
00:58:11.000
You do that jailbreak shit, and you put your foot in a way...
00:58:15.000
I would have to pull my foot and shove it in there with my hand.
00:58:23.000
I have students that are way more flexible than me.
00:58:33.000
And going all the way across the belly, that's even better.
00:58:41.000
If he'd figure four in his arms, it'd be tighter.
00:59:05.000
We have a yoga TV channel, Brendan, if you want to do it at your house or something like that.
00:59:09.000
Yeah, Black Swan Yoga TV. I'd definitely be down to try that.
00:59:12.000
I kind of need a place to go, though, you know what I'm saying, just to commit to it.
00:59:16.000
It's when it's hot and you have the instructor there and you can't take a pose off or something like that.
00:59:21.000
And there's usually attractive girls, so it's motivating.
00:59:25.000
But the most important thing, dude, is the heat.
00:59:29.000
You walk in, you're sweating the moment you get in that fucking thing.
00:59:32.000
The sweat, the breath, the stretching, all of it together.
00:59:37.000
The most amazing thing about it is how hard it is to do and then how relaxed I am when it's over.
00:59:44.000
Do all the dudes have all their shirts off and shit in the one you go to?
00:59:57.000
I'm trying to do yoga and get your titties in my face.
01:00:18.000
There's something annoying about dudes that are really good at yoga.
01:00:27.000
Especially when they're wearing, like, amulets.
01:00:50.000
If you don't like all that shit you're talking shit on is why DDP yoga is blowing up.
01:01:04.000
He came out to on it and put us all through some DDP yoga.
01:01:11.000
I mean, you do a lot of counting and a lot of like, hell yeahs.
01:01:48.000
With all due respect, I thought the other guy won.
01:01:50.000
With all due respect, we were barely paying attention.
01:01:54.000
I thought you ended the fact it was a good fight.
01:02:06.000
No, if it was exactly the same, the receivers in the NFL would have knee braces on.
01:02:11.000
Why do wide receivers in the NFL wear gloves when it's raining?
01:02:24.000
It's easier to catch and score when it isn't a hot oil wrestling match with all the sweat and blood everywhere.
01:02:32.000
Like why is it more manly to fight in shorts than it is to pants?
01:02:53.000
The heads of the football teams have meetings to increase offense.
01:03:04.000
They made it illegal for a wide receiver to wear gloves.
01:03:07.000
Those rainy games, those muddy games, people are just going to be dropping balls all over the place.
01:03:12.000
They go, dude, let these motherfuckers wear the gloves.
01:03:25.000
And they do it for extra grip so they can catch and score.
01:03:28.000
And the league will go, yeah, we want, let them wear, if it makes them score more, yes, it's a good thing.
01:03:33.000
Plus they have their logos on them, Nike or Reebok gloves.
01:03:37.000
But in MMA, you can wear tights that go up to your knees.
01:03:41.000
You could wear shorts, but they can't cover the calf.
01:03:46.000
All I'm saying is it would be the same if they were both wearing knee braces.
01:03:49.000
You should definitely be able to wear rash guards.
01:03:54.000
Girls are wearing rash guards and it's not a problem.
01:04:04.000
Not in the UFC. No, not in the UFC. They can't.
01:04:13.000
That you can't cover your fucking forearm here.
01:04:24.000
It's just, the problem is, ultimately, if DC wins.
01:04:28.000
That's worst case scenario for the UFC. I want DC to win.
01:04:33.000
Do you think that DC, if DC won, like let's just say DC wins, do you think that it's conceivable that DC can improve to the point where he could possibly beat Jon Jones?
01:04:52.000
No one in the world's beaten John with a full camp.
01:05:00.000
You gotta remember, him versus DC, that wasn't a good fight.
01:05:37.000
Rumble would have been an interesting fight for Jones because he can knock anybody out.
01:05:42.000
I think John would have took him down, wore him out, and TKO'd him in the third round.
01:06:01.000
You know, we were about to talk about this the other day, but somehow or another we got sidetracked.
01:06:06.000
So it comes from a maple tree instead of a coconut tree, just like they make maple syrup, but they make maple water.
01:06:11.000
And it's like half the sugar of coconut water and same like electrolytes and nutrients.
01:06:34.000
Like if I was a tycoon, like William Randolph Hearst or something, I'd buy all the maple trees now.
01:06:45.000
I get it at Whole Foods, and I saw it at the Paleo Conference.
01:06:50.000
We're talking to a couple companies, because I think it's next level.
01:06:57.000
I haven't done the full gamut of research, but what they're saying is that it's equivalent to coconut water, nutrient-wise, without so much sugar.
01:07:07.000
What do you think about Cormier and, not Cormier-Johnson, Weidman versus Belfort?
01:07:12.000
It's a tough call because Belfort's coming in there.
01:07:16.000
Belfort off TRT and getting tested all the time.
01:07:26.000
To me, how Weidman's not more famous and a bigger name is crazy.
01:07:31.000
He should be the face of the UFC, how talented he is.
01:07:40.000
If he beats down Vitor Belfort, this might be like a breakout fight for him.
01:07:43.000
He needs a breakout fight, you know what I'm saying?
01:07:45.000
You would think the Machida one would have done it.
01:07:47.000
Well, if he stopped Machida, maybe that would have done it.
01:07:50.000
The thing is, Machida and him was an amazing fight, but it was a five-round amazing war.
01:07:54.000
It's tough for him because he beats Anderson Silva twice, right?
01:07:57.000
But everyone's like, ah, Anderson was fucked around, and his leg fell off in that other one.
01:08:00.000
And then he gets Lyoto Machida, and it's like back and forth.
01:08:06.000
If he destroys Vitor, now we've got a superstar.
01:08:10.000
You know, Vitor could probably make welterweight now, and I'm not bullshitting.
01:08:14.000
When we saw him in Vegas that time, I was like, huh?
01:08:18.000
When he was fresh off of it, his body morphed, dude.
01:08:25.000
I don't remember him hitting Jones, but they highlighted all the times that he hit Jones.
01:08:31.000
And here he's taking John down, but that lasted for literally a second, and John was back up on his feet.
01:08:37.000
You know, you gotta look at a guy like Cormier and think, also, he's like 36 or 37. 37. 37. He's been competing and wrestling his whole life.
01:08:48.000
He's only been fighting MMA, I think, since he was like 30, right?
01:08:59.000
Well, Bader was supposed to be fighting DC. I know.
01:09:05.000
And Rashad's out for a grip because he tore his leg again, his knee.
01:09:30.000
Rashad was telling me Anthony Johnson owns the sparring practice because he just knocks bitches out.
01:09:42.000
Does he go all out, or is he just hit so hard accidentally?
01:09:46.000
You wonder what's gonna happen to him if he gets pushed.
01:09:49.000
Now that he doesn't have the issue that he had before with losing all the weight, he's a totally different animal.
01:09:55.000
That was a destroyer, DC, when he took out Pat.
01:10:03.000
Just to get in the UFC, though, he didn't mean it.
01:10:08.000
But, you know, I just wonder whether or not he could take the heat.
01:10:11.000
Because he couldn't take the heat at 170. He was just so dried out that when he would, like, Koscheck beat him that way...
01:10:17.000
Vitor beat him that way, but it's at 185, actually.
01:10:22.000
Because if DC can just get through that first round and not eat a fucking huge shot, I think he's just going to wear Johnson out for five rounds.
01:10:31.000
If you see him against Phil Davis, he was fucking on point for three rounds hard.
01:10:36.000
Big difference between DC and Phil Davis, though.
01:10:40.000
One can strike to wrestle, and Phil's more of wrestling a strike, and he's not really mixing it up.
01:10:59.000
He's just going to have to keep beating guys and then become undeniable.
01:11:14.000
If he beat GSP, he would have been a breakout star.
01:11:20.000
I'm just saying, this day and age in the UFC, you gotta do some shit, man.
01:11:30.000
I would say he's more exciting than Fitch, because Fitch had some exciting fights.
01:11:35.000
Actually, yeah, I would say he's more exciting.
01:12:12.000
There's only one in the UFC. We should put a cap.
01:12:38.000
But, Howlowski was the pit bull first in the UFC. That's true.
01:12:46.000
There's some other dudes that, like, I would go get their nicknames at the UFC, and I'd be doing the weigh-ins when I have to call them.
01:12:54.000
I'm like, yeah, you can't just call yourself some shit.
01:13:00.000
Otherwise, I'd be like the Brown Knight, some dope-ass shit.
01:13:05.000
Callan gave me that name, and all the fans ran with it, so I had to switch my name.
01:13:09.000
You don't think I'd pick some dope-ass shit like the Axe Murderer or something?
01:13:30.000
Not for money, but just who they thought was going to win the show.
01:13:37.000
Because I wasn't that big compared to the other guys.
01:13:39.000
But I hit a heavyweight, so they called me the hybrid.
01:13:43.000
And then fucking Callen just kept calling me Big Brown and kept saying I was Native American.
01:13:48.000
And then as the show got more popular, it just took off.
01:14:18.000
Everyone's super, super white, and then I'm just brown as fuck.
01:14:23.000
You don't look anything like your mother or father?
01:14:33.000
Would you ever have any desire to do this shit?
01:14:48.000
I think it'd be funny to do like the F1 style track.
01:14:53.000
But the F1 cars are like driving like an airplane.
01:14:57.000
It's like a cockpit and it's all technical and shit.
01:15:00.000
Joe, Alex from Shark Works is telling me he's going to bring down that GT3 with 800 horsepower.
01:15:06.000
Oh my god, GT2. Yeah, he's like, you and Joe are going to drive it.
01:15:28.000
You don't like big titties and he can't drive a stick?
01:15:33.000
And what was the other thing that he had on him?
01:15:38.000
Oh, and he thought you could wear shoes in the UFC. Yes.
01:15:44.000
Well, you used to be able to wear shoes in Pride.
01:15:50.000
Do you remember when Brad Kohler kicked Steve Jensen right in the face?
01:16:03.000
Brad Kohler knocked out Steve Judson with one punch.
01:16:08.000
And then Babalu beat his ass and punted his head.
01:16:16.000
He was not the jiu-jitsu player that he is today.
01:16:19.000
Babalu in the beginning was a Brazilian wrestler who could box.
01:16:32.000
You know, if Babalu didn't admit to choking that dude out in his post-fight interview, his whole career would have taken a totally different turn.
01:16:48.000
See, there's a difference to me between a guy who holds a choke a little long and a guy who holds a knee bar a little long.
01:16:55.000
If you tear someone's knee apart, that's fucked up.
01:17:00.000
For Babalu, that guy was talking shit to him before the fight, and he was very, very amped up about it.
01:17:12.000
He put him to sleep, and there was a lot of blood before that.
01:17:18.000
But I remember when I was interviewing him, he was talking about how he did it, and I asked him to clarify, and then people, like, he got upset at me.
01:17:27.000
He thought, like, somehow or another, I got him in trouble.
01:17:29.000
I'm like, dude, you're the one who brought it up.
01:17:48.000
He got into jiu-jitsu during his MMA career, and then like, now that's what he's known as.
01:17:54.000
Dude, his fight with Dean Lister in Metamorris was very impressive.
01:18:17.000
People were tweeting me saying this guy's a motherfucker.
01:18:20.000
Well, did you see his fight with Tarek Safedine?
01:18:32.000
Here he weathers the storm, and he's right back on him.
01:18:45.000
He just has to outpoint him, which is a bad game to play with a power puncher sometimes.
01:18:51.000
But he could wear his ass out if Lim totally empties the gas tank trying to take Magny out.
01:18:58.000
Props to Magni for surviving that fucking barrage.
01:19:22.000
Whoever's working at Fox, you're fired, Jetson!
01:20:25.000
Neil's long, so his ground and pound works from way up there.
01:20:48.000
That has got to be one of the most frustrating aspects of gloves.
01:21:07.000
He is exhausted, but he's still throwing fucking hammers.
01:21:17.000
You don't know, I mean, if he could recover, maybe he gets exhausted all the time and then he just recovers.
01:21:25.000
Because clearly Lim had Magny fucked up in the beginning.
01:21:29.000
But then, Magny had his back, Magny took him down, Magny mounted him.
01:21:33.000
I think the end of the round's more important than the beginning.
01:21:40.000
Because of all the shit in the beginning of the round.
01:21:45.000
I'd like the end of the round stronger, to answer your question, because if that shit in the first round was so badass, how did that guy come back and whip your ass at the end of the round?
01:21:54.000
So it was almost like it wasn't as badass as it looked.
01:21:59.000
I wouldn't put it that way, but I would say that it is more important at the end because then the two guys have had the chance to fight and figure out the strengths and weaknesses and what's dominating over time.
01:22:10.000
Over time, like the ebbs and the flows of the fight, it's more important that the guy has the ability to maintain, can keep it together all the way through the round, and at the end of the round, he's the one who's winning.
01:22:22.000
But then again, Lim hurt him more than Magny hurt him.
01:22:28.000
Yeah, but Lim had him fucked up at one point in time.
01:22:31.000
The end means, like if that was a street fight right there, I would have said Magny kicked his ass.
01:22:42.000
And you gotta remember, judges are influenced by the end of the round.
01:22:53.000
Magny's going to be able to do this for three fucking rounds.
01:22:56.000
I mean, how exhausted is Lim after that first round?
01:23:04.000
And it's also training in Denver, that training at altitude.
01:23:14.000
If he can get his confidence inside that ring, which he's slowly getting there, you got a real monster on your hands.
01:23:26.000
You can't do that with Magny now, because now Magny's just going to wear on you.
01:23:35.000
The fact that Lim got taken down like that, and then, oh, mount, full mount.
01:23:42.000
Well, also, the thing about Lim is he's huge, so that cut is probably brutal.
01:24:04.000
They're going to stop the fight if he does that.
01:24:50.000
It's tough for me to leave LA, man, with everything going on.
01:24:58.000
Once Neil Magny got a hold of him in that second round, it was total domination.
01:25:16.000
What's going to be interesting about the main event is both guys have insane cardio.
01:25:40.000
You think Edgar's going to do something that Aldo couldn't do?
01:25:45.000
Yeah, I mean, just based on what happened with Cub, you know, I mean, that was savage.
01:26:14.000
You can't get Uriah Faber down and hold him down.
01:26:27.000
Look at the way Cub just got finished by Max Holloway.
01:26:36.000
And when a guy's hurt, when a guy's hurt, the jiu-jitsu goes out the door.
01:27:21.000
That wrestling shoe is going to be tough to live down.
01:27:27.000
The titty can't make you stand by for fake titties, but that wrestling comment, you might want to stay off Twitter for a couple of days.
01:27:34.000
I just want to pass on social media for a couple days.
01:27:39.000
Uriah Faber talks to celebrities about fights they've been in.
01:27:47.000
Callan did it, but the story was so vulgar they couldn't hear it.
01:27:50.000
I was sitting there like, well, Callan, you have to have a different story.
01:28:04.000
And the guy's like, you gotta wrap it up too, man.
01:28:13.000
And we're playing kickball, and it was a close game at kickball, and the bell rung when someone had kicked the ball and people were running in, and it was like, well, the game's over, the bell rung, dudes are still running in.
01:28:26.000
There was an argument, and I argued with a fifth grader.
01:28:36.000
And the guy just fucking swift kicked me right on the balls.
01:28:57.000
And then I got up and just walked to the nurse's office real slow.
01:29:04.000
I walked to the nurse's office, crying in the nurse's office, still.
01:29:09.000
And it was that stinging pain more than it was the ballpoint.
01:29:22.000
And then I find out Enrique wants to kick my ass for flipping him off.
01:29:28.000
But he's gonna have his fourth-grader brother, Sessad, do it for me.
01:29:34.000
So now I gotta find his brother because I flipped him off.
01:29:41.000
My brother, the fight's gonna happen, me and Cesar, eventually.
01:29:46.000
So we put on socks around our fist, and he's showing me how to throw punches.
01:29:51.000
And I thought, you know what, fuck, I could throw punches.
01:29:54.000
So we ran into each other in a playground at school, and we got on each other's faces, and I said, fuck, just hit him, just hit him, just hit him.
01:30:09.000
He goes, you flipped off my brother, you motherfucker.
01:30:11.000
And I just punched him right in the fucking stomach and nothing.
01:30:39.000
Get out and give me 20. We weren't supposed to be running through the playground like that.
01:30:43.000
He didn't know that this guy was trying to kick my ass.
01:30:48.000
So we're doing push-ups there, and he's looking at me and goes, I'm going to fuck you up.
01:31:11.000
I don't know if he gained respect for me after that.
01:31:28.000
I was impressed with her fight with Felice Harris.
01:32:03.000
She never mentioned any names, but that wasn't you, right?
01:32:13.000
You go to the underground, every third thread is about Rhonda.
01:32:21.000
People were still, like maybe three years ago, all over the internet saying, women's MMA will never be big, ba-ba-ba, this and that, I'll never watch women's fights, and look at Rhonda.
01:32:31.000
She's arguably the most popular MMA fighter on the planet, right?
01:32:35.000
She's attractive and she's finishing girls in 17 seconds and shit.
01:32:40.000
And girls that don't know anything, or girls that aren't MMA fans...
01:32:49.000
Did you hear that Misha said she would be willing to fight Cyborg at 140?
01:33:13.000
Dude, I used to date a girl who had a lazy eye, and I had a lazy eye fetish for a while.
01:33:22.000
It just conditioned you to make it all people with lazy eyes.
01:33:26.000
And in my head, I was like, maybe the lazy eye makes her try harder because she doesn't want you to bring up the lazy eye, so she just goes for it.
01:33:46.000
No, she just had one eye that was like a little goofy.
01:34:00.000
I mean, I've read biographies in the past, but you have to do some fucking Nikola Tesla shit to get me to read your biography.
01:34:15.000
Well yeah, they play her countdown every other weekend.
01:34:28.000
I'd just like to see him go out with a victory.
01:35:08.000
Yeah, you know Mark shut down Reign Training Center.
01:35:15.000
Yeah, but doesn't mean you have to shut down the gym.
01:35:21.000
Well, for Mark, he just wants time with his family.
01:35:26.000
When you say real expensive, how much per square foot?
01:35:36.000
I'm asking this because you looked at a bunch of places, right?
01:36:04.000
And then before that, he lost to Sean Strickland.
01:36:12.000
But before that, he beat Mats Nilsson and Andrew Craig.
01:36:27.000
Well, that's just because Munoz has lost a bunch.
01:36:34.000
Machida Musashi's a far cry, you know what I'm saying?
01:36:39.000
Mark's thing is he gets so out of shape in between camps, so his camp's spent just get him to lose weight instead of focus on a game plan.
01:37:11.000
Shit, I don't even know, 15 and like 15 baby mamas.
01:37:17.000
You think after three baby mamas, he's like, ah, shit, I better wrap this shit up.
01:37:44.000
Wilt Chamberlain fucked 50,000 women and got only a couple of them pregnant.
01:37:57.000
Because when you have all that money that you have to put out, and then none of it's coming in, and you also like shiny things.
01:38:18.000
Well, Iverson's sort of broke, but he gets some crazy annuity, right?
01:38:25.000
He said it's just a myth, and he's doing just fine.
01:38:32.000
Well, there's a difference between, like, regular person broke and famous broke.
01:38:36.000
Because MC Hammer told me, like, everyone was like, oh, MC Hammer went broke.
01:39:41.000
Dude, you're fucked when you have different baby mommas and you gotta pay them and you gotta, cause you gotta maintain that lifestyle.
01:39:46.000
Right, but it's also, it's not just one woman that has all your kids, which would probably be better for them.
01:39:53.000
No, they say this is the fastest way to go broke.
01:40:15.000
I think some people, it's like part of the fun.
01:40:27.000
Mark looks relaxed and happy because it's the last time he's going to walk out there.
01:40:31.000
You know Mark real well, so the grind of the training is just real hard on him, huh?
01:40:48.000
So he's going to get a big car once he retires, huh?
01:40:50.000
Oh, I would be willing to bet Mark will be 300 pounds in three years.
01:40:57.000
Hey, how did he all of a sudden get in the ring?
01:41:01.000
He was taking his jacket off, and boom, he's in the ring.
01:41:10.000
Yeah, but it was just weird how they just did that because they showed him, like, taking his jacket off and then, like, within a second he was in the ring.
01:41:17.000
Yeah, they must have been switching from live to not live.
01:41:23.000
Mark, his thing is he's losing all this weight, getting in shaping camp, so he can't focus on the game plan.
01:41:30.000
Like, we would spar, and he would be doing a six-mile run before coming and spar.
01:41:38.000
Yeah, because he'd have to lose weight so fast.
01:41:40.000
Well, why wouldn't you spar and then do the run?
01:41:45.000
And he'd have to come back at night to rain and do conditioning.
01:41:48.000
Because he was so behind on weight all the time.
01:42:00.000
Probably overtraining, trying to lose that weight.
01:42:31.000
But I'll tell you what, man, that whole yoga booty, not real, okay?
01:42:45.000
I have my girl squatting, she eating shitloads of rice.
01:43:08.000
I like Luke a lot, but he has a whole career ahead of him.
01:43:14.000
Munoz is going to be super motivated coming into this.
01:43:51.000
Mark's been going with Kendall Grove to get ready for how long he is.
01:43:58.000
His ground and pound is absolutely fucking ferocious.
01:44:08.000
Against the cage on the side here, he's so good, man.
01:44:20.000
But he's trained at Alliance, so he's going with some tough guys.
01:44:27.000
But they really put together some camp down there in San Diego.
01:45:12.000
Who organizes his camp, and why did they ever let him get that fat?
01:45:16.000
That's the problem with Mark running Rain Training Center.
01:45:22.000
He was running his own camp, and then he'd coach me and whoever else was in there during his camp.
01:45:26.000
And when Mark was fighting Weidman, I told Mark, I said, Hey, Mark, what do you think Weidman's doing right now?
01:45:31.000
You think he's coaching other guys as he's getting ready for you?
01:45:55.000
Well, his ground opponent is like at a very high level.
01:46:29.000
It's kind of too late to have that good of a wrestling coach if you can't wrestle, you know what I'm saying?
01:47:14.000
You know, we have that wrestling background, especially when it comes to grappling.
01:47:19.000
It's just in his DNA, you know what I'm saying?
01:47:24.000
He does wrestling camps and then his son's a stud wrestler and he wants to focus on his family, man.
01:47:38.000
You've got to really take that into consideration.
01:47:41.000
It's not like he made enough money from his UFC career to retire either.
01:48:25.000
If he fights like this, wild, crazy-ass fight, they might keep him around just because it takes two to tango.
01:48:32.000
A guy who's willing to throw down like that, that was what kept Dan Hardy around.
01:48:36.000
When Dan Hardy was losing, he was like, yeah, he might be losing, but this motherfucker throws.
01:49:03.000
Being in the Philippines, fighting his last fight.
01:49:14.000
It's probably not quiet like the rest of Asia, right?
01:49:25.000
They all have like Spanish last name, or excuse me, Spanish and Chinese.
01:49:34.000
Like one of the greatest pool players of all time is a guy named Efren Reyes from the Philippines.
01:50:01.000
Skills, for sure, but the limb that came out and tried to win that fight in the first round, not the same limb.
01:50:14.000
You gotta be careful of those fucking elbows, man.
01:50:28.000
You know what people are talking about on that DC card is, uh...
01:50:39.000
That card's so insane, it's like, there's too much to talk about.
01:50:52.000
Yeah, because Habib Nurmagomedov hurt his knee again.
01:51:18.000
Munoz is really good ground and pound from the guard, too.
01:51:23.000
He's been working with Casey Halstead from 10th Planet Costa Mesa a lot.
01:51:27.000
Eddie, we've got to get a 10th Planet in Austin, bro.
01:51:38.000
I'm obsessed with mastering the 10th Planet system and whatever his mission in life has to be to open up a school.
01:51:47.000
Yeah, you're not going to let them half-ass you.
01:51:48.000
Yeah, you can't go to the city and go, I need a...
01:51:50.000
Anybody interested in doing this 10th Planet stuff?
01:51:55.000
You've got to have someone that's already into it.
01:51:58.000
Well, just get someone who's into it and I'll sell Austin to them.
01:52:07.000
Yeah, I'm going to do a seminar there pretty soon.
01:52:28.000
I played football there, but I've never hung out.
01:53:01.000
One of the weirdest things ever was listening to an Alex Jones voicemail on my phone when we were in Vegas.
01:53:23.000
Are you guys gonna get breakfast and what time should we meet for the fight?
01:53:27.000
We brought him to the UFC and got him high as fuck on pot cookies.
01:53:34.000
I was wondering if he'd be sick of talking about conspiracy theories.
01:53:39.000
He'll talk conspiracy theories all fucking night.
01:53:57.000
When Truman was in office, this was all put into place.
01:54:06.000
I was asking him about that, and he goes, if he was into it.
01:54:11.000
I'm focusing on what we can do right now with the people of the United States.
01:54:22.000
You know what killed UFOs for me is ancient aliens.
01:54:27.000
After a couple seasons of that, I'm like, I don't ever want to see anything on UFOs again.
01:54:32.000
You know what killed it for me is talking to people.
01:54:34.000
When I did that Joe Rogan questions everything, I would talk to the experts.
01:54:50.000
It's always like, you know, there's always these new films of UFOs.
01:55:09.000
I think honestly, if someone can come here from another fucking planet, they could be a rubber dick in the sky.
01:55:25.000
They're really close to making an actual cloaking device now.
01:55:29.000
Have you ever seen those Japanese jackets where the entire jacket films what's behind it?
01:55:39.000
And the jacket literally will be an accurate representation of what's behind you.
01:55:48.000
Like say if we were looking at you and your chicken head shirt was in fact that the background.
01:55:53.000
The camera, the whole thing, what's behind you.
01:55:56.000
Like they've already figured out how to do that, but it's kind of crude.
01:55:59.000
Well, eventually they'll be able to do it where it's indiscernible from the sky.
01:56:02.000
Like you'll be moving through the sky like Predator.
01:56:08.000
I think they're going to have that kind of technology for sure within the next decade or two.
01:56:25.000
The guy's standing there with this thing, and it allows them to project everything that's behind it.
01:56:39.000
I mean, I can for sure still see them, but yeah, that's pretty nuts.
01:56:41.000
Well, it's crude right now, but it's going to get to a point...
01:56:45.000
Yeah, it's going to get to a point in a few decades where it works, and they can put it on airplanes and shit.
01:56:50.000
That was pretty good special effects back then in Predator.
01:56:58.000
You can't watch Clash of the Titans without it being silly.
01:57:00.000
No, you watch a bunch of stuff and you're like, this is some bullshit.
01:57:04.000
I was just bummed out that their fucking thermal technology is so shitty, all you have to do is cover yourself in mud.
01:57:43.000
We only got a 99 on Rotten Tomatoes the first time I saw it.
01:57:54.000
But when it comes to comic book movies, this motherfucker hates it when you know that the dude who's the star is going to live.
01:58:13.000
You're not killing Iron Man in an Iron Man movie.
01:58:22.000
Just because I love the idea of a fucking nerdy dude.
01:58:35.000
It was like the Warriors, but instead of just killing Cyrus, they took his hose.
01:58:43.000
And then now Cyrus is going after the Warriors.
01:59:01.000
You're a goddamn producer and you're talking in the back.
01:59:08.000
Oh, was it one of those, uh, you had a side and a non-disclosure?
01:59:14.000
If you find out why movies get changed, talk to Jamie.
01:59:23.000
There's a gang, there's like these different gangs of...
01:59:43.000
There's all these dune buggies and all these cars with all these guns and these warriors.
01:59:58.000
A truck that's a wall of amps, and they have a guy playing guitar in front.
02:00:02.000
So whenever they go to battle, there's a guy in the front of a truck playing the guitar.
02:00:15.000
And the whole time he's playing guitar, people are...
02:00:19.000
It's a truck with a wall of amps and he's hanging in front of the amp playing guitar.
02:00:45.000
It was like that Cabin in the Woods type movie.
02:00:50.000
Well, you didn't go to it because you thought it was realistic and shit.
02:01:07.000
I'm not gonna go fucking see a movie about kids toys.
02:01:24.000
Michael Bay, I'm sure he's getting mad pussy, but I don't like his shit.
02:01:49.000
My four-year-old, she has Ninja Turtle pajamas.
02:02:05.000
Dude, even if I was fucking 12, I wouldn't be into a turtle.
02:02:20.000
He didn't even fucking say where he learned it.
02:02:37.000
I could be eight years old and I would think Ninja Turtles are stupid as fuck.
02:02:40.000
Do you know how long Ninja Turtles have been around?
02:02:48.000
I was big on the Roadrunner, Bugs Bunny cartoons because it was a lot of violence.
02:03:08.000
First of all, the style of animation is so weird.
02:03:13.000
He's about to cry, man, because he's retiring right now.
02:04:06.000
You don't give him the mic and you don't let him talk about cartoons.
02:04:26.000
It's got to be so hard, also, to have a fucking hard three-round fight like that and then give a big speech.
02:04:34.000
Damn, I thought he was going to say he retired.
02:04:37.000
No, he's going to take his gloves off and leave them in the cage.
02:04:40.000
He's taking his gloves off and leave them in there.
02:04:57.000
You know, this is something I've dreamed about.
02:05:07.000
I know I didn't accomplish what I wanted to accomplish in a cage, but I invested a lot of my time in lives.
02:05:13.000
And I invested in their treasures, in their heart, and I've been able to help change lives and impact lives in a positive way.
02:05:28.000
I have a story to be able to give to kids and I want to be able to teach and come back here to the Philippines and be able to give my talents, gifts and abilities to you guys and be able to help the Philippines in wrestling.
02:06:32.000
Yeah, you're going to have to wrap this up, Marky Mark.
02:06:39.000
You know how he said he didn't accomplish what he wanted to?
02:06:44.000
I told him you can't look at things that way, man, because if we...
02:06:50.000
If you wrap up your career and say, because you're not the world champion, your career was a failure, then 99% of the fighters in the world are failures.
02:06:59.000
I said, if when you were in college and I said to you, you're going to have a seven or eight year career in the UFC and be one of the most famous middleweights in the world, what would you say?
02:07:06.000
He's like, ah, I would have said I had a successful career.
02:07:10.000
Just because you didn't get to the belt doesn't mean you didn't have a successful career.
02:07:14.000
No matter what your record is, he's had a very successful career.
02:07:16.000
People think that way about life in general, though.
02:07:19.000
You'll have a relationship with somebody and it doesn't end in marriage and they'll be like, oh yeah, that was a failure.
02:07:28.000
I have a couple of exes I need you to talk to, my man.
02:07:54.000
This is one of the things that I've been noticing when I've been watching Popeye with my kids.
02:07:58.000
First of all, Popeye was sponsored by the NRA. How crazy is that?
02:08:02.000
At the beginning of some of the Popeye episodes, there's an ad for the National Rifle Association, which is very strange.
02:08:12.000
Bluto is always trying to rape olive oil, and everybody's beating the fuck out of everybody.
02:08:19.000
There's some stuff with Indians and Native Americans, where Popeye's beating up the Indians, they're shooting arrows at them.
02:08:30.000
They have a little wiggle to the way they move.
02:08:34.000
They don't just stand there like a normal cartoon does.
02:08:44.000
Did you grow up on this shit or you just got into it?
02:08:57.000
I didn't look at it in terms of Oh, they're constantly moving.
02:09:05.000
I want to see Popeye himself and all these dragons and shit.
02:09:12.000
They kind of have, like, a little wiggle to them.
02:09:18.000
What's interesting is, like, Popeye started off, it was a black and white thing.
02:09:49.000
We had so many podcasts with drums in the background.
02:09:54.000
Did you step away from doing your podcast for a while?
02:10:03.000
No, no, I just need some time to chill for a while.
02:10:32.000
That's the whole night, and I could be with my family.
02:10:34.000
That was tough, because you would ask me to do it on Sunday nights.
02:10:39.000
That's the only time I could do it consistently, but that cuts into some solid family time.
02:10:49.000
So we've talked about, I don't know, I'll be back someday.
02:10:57.000
You know, you could always do it in the gym, too.
02:10:59.000
You could do different kinds of fucking podcasts.
02:11:01.000
That's what I was going to say, on the go in the gym.
02:11:04.000
Because you have so many cool fighters that come through there.
02:11:05.000
I really can't confirm anything, but there is something in the works already with actual production.
02:11:17.000
After I walked away, someone approached me and said, hey man, we could do this, right?
02:11:20.000
Like a legit studio, legit production, and I'm open to it.
02:11:25.000
If nothing's confirmed, I'm open to it, but not right now.
02:11:32.000
He bought a school bus and converted that bitch into a podcast studio that he drive, and he drives it down the improv, and then they plug it into the wall.
02:11:45.000
I was there the other day and I was like, oh my god.
02:11:48.000
I had an idea a long time ago to do it from one of those trailers that you pull around.
02:11:59.000
And I was like, this way you could get one and just pull it around, you know?
02:12:04.000
Or I'd get Jamie to drive it, but I don't trust Jamie to drive it.
02:12:13.000
Because you bring it to, say if I have a gig, like I'm doing the Irvine Improv with Callan, you bring the podcast studio, you park the podcast studio, if it's a trailer, park it in the back parking lot.
02:12:25.000
You could actually, like, Eddie Ift has a screen.
02:12:28.000
You could watch the podcast that's going on inside his bus, outside the bus.
02:12:34.000
The back window, you know, it used to be like a window where you could see.
02:12:39.000
So from the outside, you can actually see, like, a full HD version of what's going on inside.
02:13:10.000
Probably the fucking machine you got in the back.
02:13:12.000
You load up with like 400 pounds and just your cheeks are just fucking boom!
02:13:28.000
I had a little bit of a pull, like a very minor pull muscle, and I fucked it up worse.
02:13:35.000
Just putting Justin Milo's patting him up and beating the fuck out of him.
02:13:39.000
It's my favorite shit to do two, three days a week.
02:13:46.000
I have these giant ass leg pads that he puts on so I can leg kick him.
02:13:53.000
If you could hire someone to let you beat the fuck out of them, like hold the pads and the body shots.
02:14:06.000
Hitting a bag is one thing, but throwing combinations and finishing off with a legit full power leg kick, because those goddamn Fairtex pads are huge.
02:14:40.000
Anybody who doesn't like holding pads for somebody, tie pads, get the Hayabusa pads.
02:14:47.000
Hayabusa makes this extra-thick pad with mad fucking foam in it.
02:14:52.000
I don't know what kind of foam they're using, but they got it down.
02:14:54.000
Like, the difference between, like, his arms would go numb when I would kick him with the regular...
02:15:01.000
But with the Hayabusa, he barely even feels it.
02:15:07.000
Well, I'm just saying, maybe put headgear and fucking cro-cop his ass.
02:15:14.000
Have you seen that video from Brazil where they're toughening the students up and they're punching them in the head?
02:15:25.000
He did a play one, a pretend one with his students.
02:15:26.000
He posted the real one, then he recreated it, right?
02:15:31.000
These guys are beating the fuck out of their students, punching them in the face, making them stand there and take head punches.
02:15:39.000
2015. I mean, this guy's teeing off of this dude's face.
02:16:03.000
Just have the camera angle and like you could make it look like you're really...
02:16:11.000
And it's insane how quickly everyone's seen it.
02:16:21.000
Between Facebook and Twitter and Instagram, holy shit.
02:16:27.000
A video like that that you could just instantly click.
02:16:30.000
How about that guy that was trying to roll with him?
02:16:41.000
Somebody needs to beat the fuck out of that dude.
02:16:44.000
That guy's giving those people brain damage on, I mean, they're making them stand there and take brain damage.
02:16:54.000
The new crop, they want to see how people react.
02:17:15.000
Because anybody who punches really good should be able to knock those people out.
02:17:21.000
If you want to time this, it's at 4.48 right now.
02:17:58.000
I was over there sweating my ass off doing all this shit.
02:18:17.000
People say they do that because the Thais don't warm up when they fight?
02:18:21.000
Well, the Thais fight the first round really slow.
02:18:27.000
They don't place the bet until the fight starts.
02:18:30.000
So the Thais, the first round is almost like they're playing and warming up.
02:18:40.000
He spent like two weeks in Thailand just having fun.
02:18:55.000
He went to Thailand, left his computer and his phone behind.
02:18:59.000
And his agent was like, well, what if we have to reach you?
02:19:16.000
I bet he got, even though it was like a shit-talking fest between Howard Stern and him, that got him a lot of potential, right?
02:19:27.000
What Ari did was he got, he trolled Howard Stern.
02:19:32.000
Howard Stern talked about him for 25 minutes on his show.
02:19:34.000
And then Ari made a video showing Howard Stern how to Google his name, because Howard said a bunch of false things about him, about what he did.
02:19:44.000
There's a thing called Google, and I want you to go to your browser.
02:19:48.000
You probably have Netscape Navigator or something.
02:19:50.000
He totally mocked him, and he did it in a really respectful way.
02:20:02.000
The fact that Howard didn't know, like, would talk shit on podcasts is ridiculous.
02:20:08.000
It's good for us, but it's also because it's a threat.
02:20:11.000
Because he's in Sirius Satellite Radio, and he's renegotiating his contract, I'm sure.
02:20:15.000
And the number one competition for Satellite Radio is podcasts.
02:20:19.000
You know, like, if you go through a tunnel, okay, you go into a parking structure, I get pissed when I'm listening to fucking Sirius...
02:20:26.000
And I go to the mall and I go into the parking structure and the shit cuts off.
02:20:46.000
I like things being for free, for sure, like everybody does.
02:20:51.000
The whole idea that you've got to beam it down from the sky, wasn't it made on Earth?
02:20:55.000
Can't you have an Earthly distribution device instead of shooting it up into the...
02:21:14.000
Every day I listen to Howard Stern all the time.
02:21:48.000
I drove a Tesla for a show that Bobby Razak's doing.
02:21:51.000
It's like a talk show where you're driving a car.
02:22:06.000
I heard you can download things in Tesla where you can make it sound like a Ferrari engine, a Porsche engine.
02:22:27.000
I just think making a fake engine noise is dumb.
02:22:31.000
But you can't download like a Ferrari F12 engine.
02:22:40.000
And then he'll just start pulling Arctic Monkey songs.
02:22:48.000
The computer screen in those Tesla's are, it's like a giant fucking, it's crazy.
02:22:58.000
Yeah, so the whole screen, instead of being a white background, it goes black background.
02:23:10.000
I mean, it's the first electric car that looks awesome.
02:23:14.000
No, the Fisker was the first electric car that looked dope.
02:23:26.000
Yeah, this is what happened when the storm hit the East Coast.
02:23:29.000
They were at the docks in North Carolina, and they got flooded, and apparently when they were underwater, they just explode.
02:23:38.000
Like 14 of them blew up on the docks and everybody's like, alright, this is, no.
02:23:44.000
I'm never going to be under fucking water, my Fisker.
02:23:51.000
If you're involved in, like, rain, like, if you ever drive in Houston in the rain, well, they'll get some, there's some times where, like, they get so much water, like, you're, you know, up to, like, 16 inches of your car.
02:24:02.000
I'm going to take that risk for a cheaper Fisker.
02:24:09.000
You'll be flying through the air like a Popeye cartoon.
02:24:14.000
And what was the story with the makers of Tesla, the company?
02:24:20.000
Yeah, the patents so that other car companies could make...
02:24:27.000
And it's genius, though, because if he does that, then there's an industry.
02:24:32.000
He needs the industry to survive, so he needs the competition, because once they follow suit, he's like, he's the king forever.
02:24:39.000
And that's true, but it's just not scarcity thinking.
02:24:43.000
People are still going to buy Teslas even if someone else makes one.
02:24:47.000
His kids work out at Boxenburg in Brentwood, and I see those little rich bastards.
02:24:54.000
We're trying to get the new ideas from their dad.
02:24:57.000
So it's like a generator, but it's all electric.
02:24:59.000
It goes up through solar, and you get like three days of power on this battery in your garage.
02:25:03.000
And you can stack them, so you could have nine of these batteries on your wall.
02:25:14.000
So, like, a lot of solar power is still dependent upon the grid, which is really fucking stupid.
02:25:19.000
Meaning, you get solar power, but when the grid goes down, so does your power, which seems to me to be dumb as fuck.
02:25:26.000
So they can set it up differently where it doesn't go down if the grid goes down, but it's kind of archaic, you have a battery room, and he solved all that shit with this wall thing that he's got.
02:25:43.000
There's got to be people trying to shut him down, no?
02:25:53.000
Exxon will probably go get on that motherfucker with the Tesla.
02:26:34.000
Yeah, they're pretty cool, but you can't drive it to Vegas.
02:26:37.000
And if you leave it sitting out, like, you, Aubrey, you had a problem with that, right?
02:26:41.000
Like, you took off, went on vacation, came back, the bitch was, like, barely able to get you home?
02:26:45.000
Yeah, but I think some sneaky fucks might have been driving it while I was going Do you?
02:26:52.000
Like, I drove up to Fort Hood because I was speaking there.
02:26:57.000
I think it's weird that you're allowed to grab your shorts to defend.
02:27:15.000
I just think short grabbing should be legal all the way around.
02:27:19.000
If you're going to make it just to defend a submission, it should be legal all over.
02:27:25.000
If you grab the shorts, trying to take someone down, any of that.
02:27:28.000
No, you shouldn't be grabbing other people's clothing.
02:27:34.000
Like if you have shorts, you're going to grab his fucking shorts?
02:27:55.000
Big Gary Goodrich reached into the Pedro's fucking pants and grabbed his dick.
02:28:14.000
But he reached in there and grabbed his dick and balls and crushed it.
02:28:28.000
He's holding his one wrist down and punching the shit out of him.
02:29:09.000
You bet that someone's going to get finished in the third.
02:29:13.000
Aubrey is so far ahead of the game right now when it comes to bets in the UFC. He's so far ahead of the game.
02:29:20.000
He might be at a strong 80-plus percent all-time winning.
02:29:26.000
We had some runs, we would sit down and have lunch before the fights, and I would pick out some fucking gems.
02:29:39.000
There's a couple ones in a row, like eight out of nine, nine out of ten.
02:29:43.000
And if we would have hit that nine out of nine, it would have been like...
02:29:48.000
And I love Conor McGregor, but he's a favorite against Aldo in Vegas.
02:30:08.000
I just can't believe I'm hearing what you're saying.
02:30:16.000
I can't imagine Conor would be a favorite when he's never fought anybody remotely as good.
02:30:44.000
Eddie Bravo became some crazy thousand dollar gambler.
02:30:48.000
Once you give him a bankroll, he's off to the races.
02:30:52.000
If Uriah Faber wins tonight, Eddie Bravo's gonna open up a school in your honor.
02:31:06.000
Imagine if you just keep chasing bad money and every month you owe Eddie another thousand.
02:31:13.000
He texted me last night and asked if it was okay if he brought a check.
02:31:47.000
I was going to ask you if going to a strip club was something you'd like to do because it's just...
02:32:02.000
It's a club where you walk in and the girls are staring at you.
02:32:06.000
And you can't look at them because you don't want them to fucking ask you for a lap dance.
02:32:17.000
You go to a regular club, no girls are making eye contact with you.
02:32:25.000
When they see a tall fucking UFC fighter, they're like, he fights UFC, oh my god.
02:32:35.000
Are you UFC? They got Bell's palsy in the club.
02:32:46.000
I'm saying for me personally, strip clubs don't make sense.
02:32:48.000
I go to a bar, I meet a nice girl, and we have a fun time.
02:32:55.000
Well, there's a lot of people that are normal guys that feel the same way.
02:32:58.000
There's a lot of people that just get upset at the whole process.
02:33:00.000
Yeah, I don't want shit stains on my t-shirt, man.
02:33:04.000
Strip clubs need that Fogo de Chow red-green button.
02:33:12.000
Someone needs to do a combination of Fogo de Chow strip club.
02:33:18.000
And something else, and one of them is green and red.
02:33:21.000
So the pink, what would be pink and what would be the...
02:33:30.000
But I want to discriminate against my strong sisters out there that are also stripping.
02:33:47.000
Meanwhile, Mousasi is just dominating Philippou on the ground, man.
02:34:45.000
I was like, this doesn't even seem like the same guy.
02:34:51.000
He just knocked out Henderson the first round, which Sassi did.
02:34:55.000
Henderson used to be able to take, like, the most insane amount of punishment.
02:34:59.000
Musashi seemed to almost feel bad about that Henderson fight.
02:35:03.000
It's also Henderson's first fight post TRT because he was on the TRT when he fought Shogun.
02:35:09.000
That was like the last approved TRT. Well now he's fighting Tim Boach for the main event in New Orleans.
02:35:19.000
What was supposed to be the main event in that fight?
02:35:38.000
Anderson or whatever, would they have a backup 205er that trained, like having a training camp?
02:35:45.000
But if they know a big time 205er has a fight down the road and he's training, they'll call him first.
02:35:51.000
Well, Rockhold said that he was going to prepare for Belfort to pull out.
02:35:59.000
You put together a fight, and then you designate a backup.
02:36:09.000
You'd give him some money, because then, if anything happens, it avoids disasters.
02:36:17.000
You give him a fight, an easy fight, and he's training for that.
02:36:21.000
And then if anything happens, boom, he just jumps to the main event.
02:36:28.000
I'm even going to call Dana and ask him about this.
02:36:31.000
Giving guys opportunities to have sponsorships, right?
02:36:34.000
Everybody's like, well, Reebok's the only sponsor.
02:36:39.000
What about guys release almost daily training footage?
02:36:48.000
So over a long period of time, like you're talking about a bunch of videos.
02:36:53.000
Say if you're training for a fight, you got six, eight weeks.
02:36:55.000
I don't know about you guys, but I fucking love watching training footage.
02:37:03.000
I like watching dudes do strength and conditioning routines.
02:37:11.000
I think training videos are, like, really good.
02:37:14.000
And you don't even need, like, a narrator, really.
02:37:16.000
I mean, maybe, like, you could have somebody explain what's going on or have some text at the bottom, you know, 7.15 a.m., you know, West Side Barbell, you know, Matt Brown shows up for work, and then they're like, all right, let's go, let's go, let's go, and have a fucking flip the top.
02:37:36.000
I don't think you could do it for 700 guys, but I think you could do it for a lot of guys, and I think, well, you might be able to do it for 700 guys, because people wouldn't watch.
02:37:44.000
People aren't going to watch, but they wouldn't watch.
02:37:48.000
Well, if they're not watching, then their sponsorship's not worth much anyways.
02:37:51.000
Countdown show, you're catching the guy talking to his kid on fucking iPads.
02:37:58.000
If you have 700 guys, who's going to watch Neil Magny's training?
02:38:07.000
Well, the hardcore fans are going to watch it for sure.
02:38:15.000
The fact that he's in the UFC is getting some attention.
02:38:19.000
When I fought Travis Brown, when I fought Arlovski, I asked the UFC, I said, hey, I'm on the countdown.
02:38:26.000
Got a camera guy, got it sponsored by a company who paid me, followed me around for four weeks.
02:38:35.000
You're very smart with the t-shirt marketing for Fighter and the Kid.
02:38:52.000
I brought the Master Kim tanks that dropped this Wednesday.
02:38:57.000
Yeah, as far as that, the whole Reebok and the sponge thing, I can talk about it on here?
02:39:03.000
Yeah, let's talk about it because Dana called you a liar and he said, and I know you're not a liar.
02:39:12.000
He's been my friend for a long fucking time, and if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't even be working for the UFC. If he quit, or the UFC got sold to someone else, I would probably stop doing it.
02:39:24.000
Because I wouldn't really want to work in any other kind of environment.
02:39:26.000
Working for a ridiculous dude like Dana is probably the only way I could ever...
02:39:35.000
So when he did that interview the other day and he called you a liar, I was like, this is a very unfortunate rift between you two that I hate.
02:39:45.000
Well, the thing for me, I thought about it all last night.
02:39:53.000
Whenever I knew this stuff, I talked to friends and family.
02:39:59.000
Maybe I'm not lying, but it does nothing for me to prove this and do all this stuff, because first thing first, I'm Team UFC, man.
02:40:06.000
I wouldn't have this platform, I wouldn't have this fame, or I wouldn't be able to make money that I'm doing now if it wasn't for Dana White and the UFC. So I'm not anti-UFC in the least bit.
02:40:14.000
So I was talking to my dad, and it was kind of bothering me.
02:40:18.000
And my dad goes, you don't know the grand scheme of everything.
02:40:23.000
Maybe you're the exception where you made great money and other fighters weren't.
02:40:27.000
And knowing me, he knows damn well how to co-sign on this.
02:40:30.000
Because I don't know the overall plan of this Reebok deal.
02:40:33.000
So if it helps the majority of fighters, I'm on board, man.
02:40:37.000
Like I said, I'm Team UFC. If it legitimizes the UFC with all the other major sports...
02:40:44.000
You were just stating a fact, though, about your sponsorships.
02:40:50.000
Because he said you were a liar about your sponsors.
02:40:53.000
But I talked to Dan, so I don't know when that interview was.
02:40:56.000
I talked to Dan, and he called me and went over the sponsors.
02:40:59.000
And those sponsors that he read on the show, that's from a banner.
02:41:07.000
And one sponsor that he said, I just think he was misinformed.
02:41:17.000
You gave me a list of all your sponsors and what you actually got paid.
02:41:34.000
I don't want to get into this pissing contest with Dana.
02:41:43.000
He basically pulled his dick out and peed all over you.
02:41:52.000
I don't want to be the Tito Ortiz of this Reebok, you know what I'm saying?
02:41:58.000
I love working for the UFC. There's a bigger picture here.
02:42:03.000
I feel like fucking Adam Sandler and Billy Madison when he's in class and he's all chlorophyll, more like borophyll, and thinks it's funny and no one says shit.
02:42:12.000
Well, I was the guy who went, borophyll, and every other UFC fighter said...
02:42:29.000
But listen, the UFC is no different than Microsoft or an Apple.
02:42:34.000
You've got to crack some eggs to make an omelet.
02:42:39.000
But in the grand scheme of things, it might be better for the overall concept of all the UFC fighters.
02:42:46.000
But it doesn't do me any good to release all this stuff and say Dana's wrong.
02:42:51.000
I'm about being part of something bigger than just myself, if that makes sense.
02:43:04.000
If somebody called me a liar, I would release the papers.
02:43:06.000
If I knew that I had everything on paper that would show that I wasn't a liar.
02:43:09.000
Like, it doesn't make sense to call you a liar.
02:43:11.000
It makes sense to ask you what you were getting paid, and then, well, can you send me that?
02:43:18.000
But it gets irrational when someone calls you a liar when you know you're not a liar, and you do have the tax returns.
02:43:24.000
That seems to me like the rational response to that is to just show.
02:43:27.000
And then maybe you guys could have, like, okay...
02:43:30.000
Okay, I didn't know that people were making that much money.
02:43:33.000
Because I don't know if you actually knew how much money guys like you, who are very clever with your marketing and really good at promoting yourself, how much they were making.
02:43:47.000
What do you mean about the banners you said he was talking about?
02:43:58.000
So for Dana being the captain, he doesn't owe me anything.
02:44:00.000
But if anyone just told me, said, listen, Brendan, it's not about you.
02:44:08.000
I'm in a fortunate position where, listen, man, I don't ever have to fight again.
02:44:25.000
I surround myself with very successful people who are way smarter than me, like Joe Rogan, Brian Callen.
02:44:36.000
So for me, dude, I'm not getting this pissing contest.
02:44:40.000
If it's good for the UFC, it's good for Brendan Shaw.
02:44:47.000
People want me to throw grenades, man, and that's not my fight.
02:44:52.000
I was the one who wanted to get you guys together.
02:44:56.000
I wanted to get you guys together and stop all this fucking dick-waving bullshit.
02:45:04.000
Meanwhile, we got the fucking main event coming up here.
02:45:08.000
We're running out of time on this three-hour podcast.
02:45:10.000
Yeah, I just gotta reset everything so we don't...
