00:00:11.000
Ladies and motherfucking gentlemen, this is a fight companion podcast.
00:00:16.000
This was supposed to be the heavyweight title fight, and that was supposed to be in Vegas.
00:00:20.000
It was supposed to be Fabrizio Verdun versus Cain Velasquez, but Cain Velasquez got hurt, and he pulled out of the fight, and then Stipe Miocic replaced him, and then Verdun said, well, I'm hurt too.
00:00:31.000
And he pulled out, because I guess he had a couple of injuries.
00:00:36.000
You know, he figured, fuck it, I'm just going to fight Cain no matter what, I guess.
00:00:39.000
And then when he found out it was Miocic, he's like, listen, I'm hurt.
00:00:52.000
So we're watching the fights, but honestly, it's almost never us watching the fights.
00:00:58.000
So if you're listening to this right now, you're like, I don't give a fuck about fights.
00:01:11.000
Brian Callen, my dog, one of my favorite human beings on the planet, as well as my brother Brendan Schaub, also one of my favorite humans on the planet.
1.00
00:01:20.000
So these are my favorite podcasts, more than anything.
00:01:49.000
My son, I went hiking with him and all he was talking about for two days is, I want you to teach me how to chop down a tree.
00:01:57.000
I'm like, alright, but I need to chop a tree down.
00:01:59.000
So we go, and we go to the quote-unquote chop a tree down, and I get him a hatchet.
00:02:07.000
My daughter looks at the hatchet like, maybe I can decorate it.
00:02:12.000
She wanted to put sparkles on the handle, and my son was like, what?
00:02:16.000
You know, what's interesting is that gay men can go one of two ways.
00:02:19.000
They can go towards, like, girly type stuff, or they can go just as manly.
00:02:28.000
It's like two different styles of gay men.
0.61
00:02:30.000
Like, I have a gay couple that lives on my street.
00:02:59.000
I know a couple like that, and I get personal with them.
00:03:04.000
Then there's like the twinks who are the super girly.
00:03:07.000
Then why would you want to just be with a girl?
0.52
00:03:11.000
Well, how come some dudes like girls with big asses?
1.00
00:03:16.000
Hey, everyone likes a girl with a big ass.
1.00
00:03:18.000
Like there's some guys that are into like really skinny girls.
00:03:20.000
Like really skinny like model type girls with no asses.
00:03:38.000
His husband is actually into trucks, too, so it's weird.
00:03:40.000
But the point being is, like, they're very different personalities that are gay.
0.74
00:03:45.000
Like, I know gay dudes that don't seem even a little gay.
0.54
00:03:48.000
And then, you know, they had to eventually come out and, you know, explain the whole thing.
00:03:53.000
Like, do you know, like, there's, like, the fuck's his name?
00:04:02.000
My buddy Keith, he's the man in the relationship.
00:04:07.000
He wrestled in college, makes millions of dollars.
00:04:16.000
And he goes, he just said it so matter-of-factly.
00:04:19.000
He goes, I mean, I think the only difference between me and you guys is I suck cock, you know?
00:04:27.000
The difference is I'm not going to get fucked, but I'll fuck him.
00:04:41.000
On the gay singles sites, I bet they have to say that.
0.95
00:04:55.000
I had the weirdest conversation with a gay couple once after a show I did in Connecticut way back in the day, man.
1.00
00:05:01.000
I don't even remember what bit it was that they were upset about, but they came up to me after the show and they were saying that, just to let you know, most gay guys don't fuck each other in the ass.
00:05:14.000
I don't know if it was legal to be married back then, because you're talking about like 91. 192, something like that.
00:05:19.000
And he was talking about, we just blow each other.
00:05:26.000
You used to fuck me in the ass all the time.
1.00
00:05:29.000
I would have answered, I would have said, I don't believe you, but continue.
00:05:35.000
And he's like, it seems like the kind of humor, like that kind of gay humor, like fucking the ass humor, is like, it goes over really big out here in Connecticut, but we mostly, we hang out in the city.
0.69
00:05:47.000
It was like big on telling you that I'm very sophisticated.
00:05:58.000
But my point to him was, it was like, but you know guys do get fucked in the ass.
00:06:05.000
When I'm talking about someone fucking someone in the ass, it's not like I'm making things up.
00:06:10.000
I was under the impression that they all did that.
00:06:31.000
When they stop fucking the ass and it's just hand jobs, you know it's over.
0.93
00:06:36.000
This is the kind of fight Mike Pyle's about to fight Sean Spencer.
00:06:40.000
This is the kind of fight that makes me wish that TRT was legal.
00:06:44.000
Because Pyle's so fucking smart and crafty.
0.99
00:06:47.000
He's so fucking smart and crafty, I wish they could get that dude on TRT. You know what I'm saying?
00:06:55.000
You definitely need it when you hit 40. He's been fighting for so long?
00:07:30.000
We were extras in a movie called The Assassination of a High School Principal.
00:07:34.000
We played like, I'm 35 years old and I'm playing a fraternity guy.
00:07:50.000
He went into a club, grabbed a girl like a savage.
0.63
00:07:56.000
We went back to the hotel and he handled business.
00:08:10.000
That's one thing I remember about Mike is he is a savage.
00:08:15.000
Let's be real careful with those kind of details.
00:08:25.000
It used to be that that was like an old movie trick.
00:08:28.000
Dude, you know who's the biggest savage as far as getting chicks I've ever seen?
0.99
00:08:32.000
And you would never guess when I gave you 100 tries.
00:08:43.000
Dude, you would have thought he was Tom Cruise up in that bitch.
1.00
00:08:47.000
But he was like, hey, I need you to be my wingman and help me out here.
00:08:52.000
Like, you don't think that's a good looking guy?
00:09:09.000
You know the story about Alan Juban had a big photo shoot in New York City like two weeks before his fight, so he had to cut weight twice.
00:09:20.000
I talked to Kenny Johnson about his wrestling coach.
00:09:28.000
Not just the way he looks, but he's a great guy.
00:09:36.000
He's such a nice guy to train with and everything, too.
00:09:50.000
Alan's a 10. Jake Shields is an 8. A strong 8. He's a strong 8. He's a strong 8. You want me on here?
00:09:55.000
I would say Jake's a solid 4. I'd say Jake's a 4. Oh, come on!
00:10:19.000
They're like a guy who's been through some danger.
00:10:21.000
They don't like a guy who's terrified of danger.
00:10:27.000
A guy who has never experienced danger may very well fall apart in the face of danger.
00:10:31.000
So a guy who does crazy shit, like does flips and bikes, why do you think they do that?
00:10:38.000
Because females are attracted to a guy who's very risky.
0.89
00:10:42.000
A guy who takes chances and does nutty shit because those guys can survive pressure.
00:10:47.000
I'm just saying with all the UFC fighters, I'd give myself a five.
00:10:54.000
I'd give you a solid eight, maybe eight and a half.
00:10:56.000
But you're a notch better than Jake Shields because you're way bigger than him.
00:11:09.000
Not just Fighter and the Kid fans, a friend of mine, who's never even met Shaw before, was like, who's your friend?
00:11:28.000
You didn't see I was already talking about her?
00:12:05.000
If you're an Alan Joban hater, you fucking hate people because he's one of the best people I've ever met.
00:12:15.000
If I looked like that, I'd wake up every morning and be like, this is going to be a good day.
00:12:18.000
I'm telling you, though, I mean, he's not a pretty boy.
00:12:20.000
I mean, this motherfucker's had some serious fights.
00:12:23.000
And he bites down on that mouthpiece and scraps.
00:12:33.000
His efficiency, it was a tough fight for anybody.
00:12:43.000
I'm saying on paper, that's a tough fight to pick.
00:12:45.000
I wouldn't have taken it if I was in the Allen's corner.
00:12:48.000
If I was in the Allen's corner, I wouldn't have taken it.
00:12:51.000
I wouldn't have taken it because it's not that I don't think he can beat that guy.
00:12:55.000
I just think right now, Tumanoff striking is so smooth and efficient.
00:13:06.000
Like, he can go from throwing a jab to throwing a lead uppercut in a straight right hand, and every one of them is perfect.
00:13:14.000
They count, they're accurate, and the mechanics behind them are totally correct.
00:13:22.000
Like, Tyron Woodley probably hits harder than anybody.
00:13:27.000
Like, when he KO'd Jay Heron, I was like, Jesus Christ!
00:13:34.000
If he catches you perfectly on that explosion, he's going to put you away.
00:13:37.000
And it's not saying that his efficiency is bad.
00:13:40.000
His efficiency is way better even now because he's training with Duke Rufus.
00:13:45.000
Tuminov doesn't have that one-shot power that Woodley has, but his efficiency is perfect.
00:13:52.000
You see a guy that hits hard, one of the things you see, almost invariably, is their body positioning is always perfect.
00:13:59.000
When a guy's throwing a ridiculous punch, you'll see the bend in the legs, you'll see the turn of the body.
00:14:06.000
When a guy's a serious power striker, with Tuminov, everything's in place.
00:14:10.000
It's all like the knee is in the right spot, when the hook...
00:14:13.000
When he's throwing the hook, his foot's in the right spot, his weight's in the right spot.
00:14:19.000
Did he come out of the Russian amateur boxing thing?
00:14:44.000
This is the one where Lorenz Larkin was throwing those wheel kicks to the thigh.
00:14:54.000
I honestly thought that Larkin pulled it off, but I wasn't upset at the decision because it was so close.
00:15:08.000
His takedown defense, I haven't seen anything like it in a long time.
00:15:11.000
He came up to Reign to train with Munoz, Pat Cummins, and myself, and his wrestling day.
00:15:16.000
I was like, oh, we're just going to take this full down.
00:15:18.000
Well, I thought going into that fight, Larkin was going to have the kicking advantage, and Tumanoff was going to have the striking advantage, and that's how it turned out.
00:15:28.000
Larkin actually has braces and during the fight his fucking braces were sticking into his mouth.
00:15:36.000
He was like trying to fix it in between rounds.
00:15:49.000
I didn't see it until they're talking about it in between rounds in the corner.
00:15:52.000
I still feel bad about myself after seeing Al Angel Byron.
00:15:56.000
I wonder if Bellator is going to let Benson Henderson fight with a toothpick in his mouth.
00:15:59.000
They're going to let him do whatever the fuck he wants.
00:16:29.000
Yeah, Ben Henderson's fighting for the title shot, right?
00:16:38.000
My biggest fear is forgetting what someone's name is in the middle of a fight while calling the fight.
00:17:43.000
Didn't he just start smoking weed recently, right?
00:17:53.000
I was under the impression that he just started.
00:17:56.000
Or maybe it was the week before he did a bunch of ayahuasca and then fought Pat.
00:18:15.000
I mean, don't get me wrong, but there's just a reality about what a 40-year-old body can do as far as the way he pushes himself.
00:18:25.000
You know, like, Bernard Hopkins just couldn't keep a pace with a guy like Sergei Kovalov.
00:18:30.000
He had to go into a defensive mode against him.
00:18:35.000
If he fought Kovalev when he was 35, holy shit, that would have been an amazing fucking fight.
00:18:50.000
And it didn't affect him the way it affects most people.
00:18:56.000
Yeah, it didn't take anything off of his desire to compete.
00:19:00.000
That's one thing that happens to fighters sometimes, and man, they're rarely the same after someone dies in the ring.
00:19:10.000
They say that Emile Griffiths, they say, was gay.
00:19:13.000
And that Benny Perrette, the guy who was fighting, was talking a lot of shit about him being gay.
00:19:20.000
And Emile Griffiths beat the fuck out of that dude.
00:19:31.000
If I had to guess, I want to say it was like the 14th round.
00:19:33.000
There's a documentary on Boom Boom saying how when that guy died, he was never the same.
00:19:41.000
I think the guy's name was Ban Ki-moon or something like that.
00:19:49.000
I think it's the commissioner for the UN or something.
00:20:04.000
He extremely dehydrated to get down to 135. That shit was on national TV if you remember.
00:20:13.000
Somebody did something I read, and I don't know if it's true, but they said that a number of people who've died in the ring had dads for their coach.
00:20:23.000
But apparently that's very common for guys to push themselves until they get really hurt because their dad's in the corner.
00:20:42.000
You think Sage is all the flack he's getting on the internet is just?
00:20:49.000
No, listen, I think if you ask any fighter, hey, if Dana offered you 40 and 40, are you going to take it at 19?
00:20:59.000
It was a good fight for him to experience, to learn.
00:21:04.000
He needs to learn some ground defense, and he needs to learn some jiu-jitsu, but that's to be expected.
00:21:10.000
People get caught in the gym all the time, guys that are good at jiu-jitsu.
00:21:13.000
I think it was the best thing to happen to him.
00:21:15.000
The sky's He's the limit, though, as far as his potential.
00:21:17.000
At 19 years of age, he seems to have a very good attitude.
00:21:32.000
You're spinning him like one of those foosball tables.
00:21:35.000
He said he was on antibiotics, too, in that fight, because he looked like shit.
00:21:39.000
That's one of the reasons why, apparently, he tapped so quickly.
00:21:43.000
Because when it was clamping down on his throat, he was already swollen, his throat was already fucked up.
00:21:51.000
It's tough, like, you see Tony Ferguson made videos, like, I tapped out like a bitch.
00:21:57.000
It's tough if you're a guy like Tony Ferguson, who's grinding, right?
00:21:59.000
He doesn't get nowhere near as much love as a guy like Sage.
00:22:03.000
You know, Tony Ferguson is in the PR business as well as in the fight business.
00:22:31.000
He fought Rampage Jackson in 2001. His first pro fight was Rampage Jackson.
00:22:42.000
Mike Pyle, and that was one of the reasons that Matt Brown was so respectful about him after the fight.
00:22:47.000
He's like, people don't know how good Mike Pyle is.
00:22:50.000
I guess in the training room, too, he's even better.
00:22:54.000
They say in the training room he's, like, unstoppable.
00:22:56.000
I'm telling you, TRT is designed for dudes like this.
00:23:00.000
And now they have testing for HGH? China calls, son.
0.96
00:23:02.000
They have testing for HGH? Yes, they have a testing for HGH that gets you from 21 days out.
00:23:15.000
Well, I told you Nowitzki said that they've already, at least theoretically, have testosterone that's derived from animals instead of wild yams.
00:23:45.000
Yeah, this is at the MGM. That stadium looks empty.
00:23:49.000
When the main event dropped out, I'm sure a lot of people canceled their trips.
00:23:56.000
Since he's the heavyweight champ, the way it works out a lot of times is you get a percentage of pay-per-views, but you have to hit a certain number.
00:24:02.000
It's hard to market Stipe versus Verdum on two weeks.
00:24:06.000
He's not going to hit those pay-per-view numbers.
00:24:08.000
So when he was like, oh, I'm out, I was like, that's fucking brilliant.
00:24:12.000
The word that I'm hearing from everybody is that he's fucking hurt.
00:24:15.000
He's been having some back problems for a while now, apparently.
00:24:20.000
And it would lock up, but he was working through it.
00:24:54.000
But you know if you got Eve Levine as your ref, you're like, ah, I'm about to get fucked up.
00:25:11.000
The pressure is if he would have stopped it early and everyone fucking complains.
00:25:16.000
I would rather have it go a little late than a little early.
00:25:29.000
That might be one less fight on Spencer's career.
00:25:35.000
It's real subjective, Eddie, because you're right in a lot of ways.
00:25:38.000
But then again, there's guys that survive it, like Frankie Edgar, right?
00:25:41.000
If you stopped every fight where Frankie Edgar was wobbled, you'd be in real trouble.
00:25:45.000
I mean, he would have never beat Gray Matard in that second fight by KO. Correct.
00:25:48.000
Because he got hurt hard in that first round, and a lot of trigger-happy refs would have pulled the trigger on that fight.
1.00
00:25:59.000
He's not hitting back and he's not defending himself.
00:26:26.000
You and I have different points of view, but I see your argument.
00:26:30.000
But we gotta realize, why are we watching this?
00:26:33.000
We're watching this not for decisions, we're watching this for brutality.
00:26:36.000
Right, but you gotta protect a guy when a fight is basically over.
00:26:38.000
You gotta protect a guy from his own toughness.
00:27:01.000
That was a fight that should have been stopped.
00:27:03.000
When he was on top of them, I was saying, what does Luke Rockhold have to do to get a stoppage?
00:27:10.000
Chris Weidman has taken damage that's probably not just unnecessary, but most likely when you get beaten up like that, you're not going to recover.
00:27:18.000
But there have been many, many fights where they could have easily stopped it and the guy came back to win.
00:27:33.000
We'd rather have a little late than a little early.
00:27:35.000
A little late than a little early is always gonna win.
00:27:38.000
I think Brock Lesnar looked better versus Shane Carr than Weidman did.
00:27:45.000
He was getting hit, but He's covering up, but there's no blood.
00:27:52.000
Face was literally like someone shot him with a.22 to the face.
00:27:55.000
That's like greatest moments of MMA history because of that.
00:27:59.000
That's why hardly nobody's doing MMA. Because of the brutality.
00:28:08.000
If it was all decisions, no one would pay for anything.
00:28:13.000
Well, okay, you know, we don't have to argue about it.
00:28:16.000
I see Eddie's point of view, and I'm leaning more towards your side.
00:28:20.000
I think maybe it could have stopped because he was just standing there taking shots.
00:28:26.000
When a guy's just standing there taking shots and he's not moving, he's waiting for the referee to stop.
00:28:39.000
Like, a lot of the guys that have died from getting beat up, they didn't go down.
00:28:51.000
Well, you know, one of the things that MMA has going for it is that you can fucking clinch.
00:28:55.000
It's the cruelest shit ever to watch a guy rocked in a boxing match and the referee's pulling him off and holding on to the guy.
00:29:04.000
It's the only thing that's keeping that guy alive.
00:29:13.000
If you don't let go, I'm going to disqualify you.
00:29:27.000
I remember the first time I heard his name, Ed Clay said, there's a guy from Tennessee named Mike Pyle.
00:29:44.000
Well, I think MMA, in a way, has a longer lifespan, regardless of what you're taking.
00:29:49.000
Even if you're taking nothing than boxing does, because it's not as completely dependent upon reflexes.
00:30:02.000
He wanted to make sure, boom, okay, we're done.
00:30:36.000
Everybody's well aware that you're in a fucking cage, man.
00:30:38.000
Dudes are throwing full-blown shin kicks to your skull.
0.95
00:30:45.000
But once you're hurt, they are trying to stop that.
00:30:51.000
What he went through against the fence like that, with those elbows like that, and you were kind of standing?
00:30:55.000
Or Edson Barbosa just throwing a straight fucking wheel kick?
00:31:06.000
I'm talking about the wheel kick with the heel in your eye socket.
00:31:11.000
I'd rather take those Mike Pyle elbows and shit.
00:31:18.000
His switch kick and his wheel kick are like the best I've ever seen.
00:31:25.000
Barclos is probably the fastest kicker maybe I've ever seen.
00:31:29.000
I don't think I've ever seen anybody kick as fast as him.
00:31:32.000
There's been a lot of fucking KOs with those wheel kicks over the last five years.
00:31:39.000
Do you remember we used to talk about it and I was like, just people don't know how to do it.
00:31:44.000
It's horrific because if it lands, I've never seen anybody get wheel kicked in the head by a guy who's good and not go out.
00:31:50.000
Like when you get healed, when a heel hits your head, you know, like sometimes you catch guys with the toes and those guys are okay.
00:31:58.000
But when a heel hits you in the head from a guy who really knows how to kick it.
00:32:10.000
Well, the key is, it's just like throwing a punch.
00:32:12.000
The idea, like when you're throwing a punch is, you don't want your hand completely clinched up until you're going to make impact because then it slows the punch down.
00:32:20.000
So you're supposed to punch and then tighten your hand up as you're about to hit.
00:32:24.000
It's like kind of a timing thing in a lot of ways.
00:32:27.000
You want to keep everything as loose as possible while exploding in the right way.
00:32:32.000
When you throw in that wheel kick, you want everything to be almost like ballet until like...
00:32:39.000
And then halfway there, you're pulling your leg back, and you're pushing your foot forward, and you're sticking that heel out.
00:32:47.000
It's like as you're in the middle of the spin, once you get, like, there, that's when everything hardens up.
00:32:57.000
No MMA fighters were working on that shit in the late 90s, early 2000s.
00:33:04.000
Dude, people used to make fun of me when I brought it up.
00:33:07.000
I would say, you know, once people learn how to really throw spinning back kicks to the body, it's like getting hit by a car.
00:33:13.000
It was more really When the people that already know how to do it learn how to wrestle and do jiu-jitsu so they're not afraid to throw it.
00:33:20.000
Because there was karate guys and taekwondo guys in those times, but they were told by their MMA coach, don't fucking throw that shit because these guys are going to take you down and choke you out.
00:33:30.000
They're like, okay, we're going to keep it nice and simple and we're not going to do these spin kicks that we know how to do because we suck on the ground.
00:33:44.000
This was after Ellenberger said that it was a waste of time to throw those things.
00:33:49.000
He's like, I'm not worried about his spinning technique.
00:34:03.000
Guys that can strike like that, like Conor McGregor, like Diego Brandao, those guys that just throw everything.
00:34:18.000
He's like me compared to Joe Ban in the looks department.
00:34:23.000
Did you ever throw spinning shit in the UFC? Never.
00:34:31.000
I never had a kickboxing coach or a taekwondo coach.
00:34:35.000
No one ever said, every now and then, it's good to have a fucking game over weapon right there.
00:34:54.000
You've got to spend a lot of time on that shit.
00:34:56.000
And it's not exactly, if you're putting it in priorities, spinning wheel kick, it's probably at number It's a long-term project, for sure.
00:35:04.000
That's why, like, it helps if you have a martial arts background to start with when you're a kid, you learn that shit first.
00:35:11.000
Like, if you see little four-year-olds throwing sidekicks and then wheel kicks, it's hilarious.
00:35:15.000
And it's adorable because their legs, they're so used to throwing their legs.
00:35:20.000
Like, they throw their legs up in the air and it's normal.
00:35:22.000
And then as they get older and their legs get heavy, their body's used to the dynamic.
00:35:40.000
What are the odds that that fight is really going to take place?
00:35:46.000
Unfortunately, he's super talented, but he's hurt all the time.
00:35:59.000
You think there's a 50% chance of him getting hurt or 80%?
00:36:11.000
I don't know if that's going to be an FS1 or a Fox card.
00:36:13.000
I don't think it's an AKA thing, how these guys are getting hurt.
00:36:19.000
Khabib and Kane, they just have so much experience with wrestling and doing combat sports.
00:36:25.000
They're trying to train like regular dudes and they're getting hurt.
00:36:36.000
And what's interesting is when you watch it, yeah.
00:36:43.000
He looks like when you're watching him compete, he looks like a wrestler.
00:36:47.000
His wrestling and his positioning is outstanding.
00:36:54.000
Those guys in Russia do a lot of Greco, too, though.
00:36:57.000
When you're a samuel guy, you're also doing a lot of Greco, typically.
0.99
00:37:05.000
I was going to say about Rockhold the other day.
00:37:08.000
Two fights in a row, Rockhold impressed me in a huge way with his ability to control from the top.
00:37:16.000
Because Machida was impressive, but I think he had Machida fucked up before they went to the ground.
00:37:19.000
It was a Temple thing, Machida went to the ground.
0.99
00:37:22.000
I think Machida was already fucked up, but Weidman wasn't.
00:37:26.000
Weidman just caught a wheel kick in a fight where there was a real close fight, but once he got him on the ground, man, God damn it.
00:37:35.000
Weidman was walking around at 193, apparently, and Rockhold two weeks before the fight was 216. Technique, too.
00:37:47.000
He's also training with, I don't know, Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez.
00:37:52.000
I think that's a huge part of it, because like Cormier said, when he fought Jon Jones, he didn't have Kane in his corner.
00:37:57.000
Kane was all fucked up from surgery, and he's like, it made a big impact on me.
00:38:01.000
Whether or not that had anything to do with him losing to Jon Jones, you're making that face.
00:38:06.000
I want to see Anthony Johnson and Jon Jones fight.
00:38:12.000
But Cormier, I want to see him with Kane in his corner, training with him, see if that has any impact.
00:38:43.000
He had a piece of it removed because it was pressing into his nerve.
00:38:46.000
It's a very controversial procedure because some people feel like you don't have to do it.
00:38:50.000
Like Louie Simmons, the guy from Westside Barbell, they wanted to take him and fuse his discs.
00:38:56.000
And that's why he created that machine that I have out back, the hyper...
00:39:19.000
I'm not necessarily a big fan of cutting your back right away.
00:39:22.000
I think you gotta take some time off of training and really heal that bitch up correctly.
1.00
00:39:30.000
If you want to get back into it really quick, that's the way to do it.
00:39:32.000
But long-term health, I'm not entirely convinced.
00:39:42.000
I had a bulging disc in my back that doesn't exist anymore.
00:39:58.000
I did it in an office with a chiropractor at first, and then I got some machines where you could strap them up, some mechanical shit you strapped to your door at your house.
00:40:08.000
I went through a lot of rolfing and breaking apart scar tissue that was pulling on everything, and everything was all fucked up and tightened up.
00:40:16.000
It was just like years and years of wear and tear.
00:40:18.000
But now, through that and through yoga, I don't have any of those issues anymore.
00:40:24.000
I don't know what his, how bad his was, but I know mine was my fucking hands were numb.
00:40:31.000
Yeah, my fingers, my two fingers, my ring finger and my pinky finger were going numb.
00:40:38.000
You have Verdum fight a guy like Roth I think what Kane should concentrate on, if I was Kane, I mean, get your body completely fucking healthy.
00:40:48.000
There's a lot of people that have like severely criticized his strength and conditioning videos that are online.
00:40:53.000
I don't know if he works with this guy anymore, but he was working with a guy that was like the strength and conditioning coach and he had him doing these- I haven't seen it.
00:41:07.000
His form is, according to Steve Maxwell and according to a bunch of other respected kettlebell trainers, completely wrong.
00:41:15.000
And this guy's got him lifting this insane weight and doing this completely wrong.
00:41:23.000
I think it's more than 200. I think it's 200 plus.
00:41:28.000
I'm telling you the reviews on YouTube by people that seem to know what the fuck they're talking about.
00:41:50.000
Well, look, the guy's obviously a big fucking guy himself.
00:41:54.000
I mean, this is better than doing nothing, right?
00:42:04.000
That looks like one of those bouncy balls that my son has.
00:42:07.000
Dude, all he's doing is swinging and then doing like an upright row.
00:42:12.000
It's like he swings, he gets to where his dick is, and then he shrugs it.
0.95
00:42:25.000
When Steve Maxwell saw it, he was almost essentially calling it malpractice.
00:42:31.000
I don't have a degree in it, but that looks terrible.
00:42:34.000
I've been around the weight room my entire life.
00:42:36.000
What you got with Kane is you got a fucking super athlete.
00:42:39.000
A guy who just do what you tell him and fucking push through everything.
00:42:41.000
And that's probably one of the reasons why he's been injured.
00:42:44.000
It's because he's pushed through some pain that maybe he should have laid off of.
00:42:55.000
Maybe it's only sticking out a little bit on one side.
00:42:57.000
If they trim it, he'll be back to training in four weeks.
00:42:59.000
But I know that for a lot of people, you can get real hasty and make a decision to jump into surgery and it's not the best decision.
00:43:10.000
Especially when there's a lot of money on the line.
00:43:14.000
For a lot of these guys, like, they might have to fight in six months.
00:43:16.000
So you would have to get the surgery because, realistically, with six months of therapy, you might not be ready again yet.
00:43:24.000
The heavyweight belt's on your weight six months.
00:43:25.000
Well, if his health is on the line, he doesn't.
00:43:29.000
If his health is on the line, man, this guy's good, man.
00:43:50.000
I'm just saying, Joe, if he's out six months, you're going to have to have the title.
00:43:55.000
You're going to have to do Steve Bear Rothwell.
00:43:57.000
You would do both of them in that time that it takes him to realistically come back.
00:44:02.000
But he's got to, I don't know, he's got to be careful.
00:44:12.000
But he could realistically fight at the highest level for the next three years.
00:44:21.000
It's real controversial, but in my experience talking to different doctors, there's doctors that say you should get surgery and there's doctors that say you should absolutely not get surgery until you've exhausted all the options.
00:44:33.000
Either way, he still won the greatest of all time.
00:44:36.000
Well, Jake Shields, they were telling him he was fucked.
00:44:39.000
They were telling him he couldn't fight again, he should stop training.
00:44:43.000
He's like, these fucking doctors are so negative, man.
00:44:45.000
Because first of all, they're just regular doctors, used to dealing with regular people.
00:44:49.000
A lot of them not used to dealing with elite athletes.
00:44:51.000
And guys who are willing to go through the kind of rehab that a guy like Jake Shields is willing to go through.
00:45:02.000
He just backed out of his fight in the World Series.
00:45:12.000
So if he fights for the title because Paul Harris gets stripped.
00:45:15.000
They stripped Paul Harris after the John Fitch fight because...
00:45:30.000
You either stop the fight while it's happening...
00:45:35.000
And then to strip him afterwards for eye gouges?
00:45:41.000
Well, maybe they saw tape and realized he was dragging his finger through it.
00:45:47.000
It was different than Travis Brown and Mitrione.
00:46:02.000
He held the Kimura, but I don't think that was that bad because the referee was in the wrong place.
00:46:09.000
You're expecting him to recognize that that's the referee tapping his back in the middle of a ferocious cage fight.
00:46:14.000
The referee's supposed to be in between the two of them.
0.96
00:46:21.000
But if it was a normal guy, like if it was you, if you had Mitrione in that same position, you hit that Kimura and you held it for that long while the referee was tapping you, I do not think you'd get the same kind of grief.
00:46:30.000
I think you would say, I was in the middle of the fight.
00:46:32.000
I didn't even realize the referee was tapping me.
00:46:35.000
The referee in that position is supposed to get in between the fighters.
0.99
00:46:38.000
He's supposed to be in front so he can look him in the eye while Pajaras has that Kimura.
00:46:56.000
Polaris is a jujitsu show, a jujitsu event held in England.
00:47:03.000
They have a bunch of single matches that are submission only.
00:47:07.000
And I think if there's no submission, it ends up being a draw at the end.
00:47:25.000
He's the only guy that's asking for Paul Harris.
00:47:32.000
The last five guys that have fought Paul Harris, it's because they offered the fucking fight to him.
00:47:44.000
It's highly possible that he's going to leg lock Poharis.
0.86
00:47:47.000
But it gives you an idea how good Jake Shields was because he was beating Poharis up on the ground.
0.89
00:47:58.000
When we saw him at your event, I can't remember the last time I saw something like that.
00:48:05.000
Well, that leg lock game, that John Donaher leg lock game is very high level, man.
00:48:10.000
Him and Eddie, Eddie Cummins, both those guys are fucking wizards, man.
00:48:16.000
I've never seen Donaher roll, but everybody says he's so goddamn stupid.
00:48:22.000
Dean Lister went to Henzo's in late 90s, 2000, 2001, and Dean Lister came into the jiu-jitsu world already as a Sambo guy.
00:48:30.000
So he was always the guy, even as a white belt, as a blue belt in Southern California.
00:48:35.000
Dean, we grew up together in the jiu-jitsu world.
00:48:42.000
So that dude, Dean Lister, goes on to win Abu Dhabi, absolute leg-locking fucking everybody.
00:48:48.000
That knee bar that he hits Salo Ribeiro with, holy shit, in 2003, watch that shit.
00:48:57.000
Salo Ribeiro is like one of the best ever, one of the greatest jiu-jitsu players ever.
00:49:02.000
And that knee bar that he got him with was insane.
0.99
00:49:05.000
Gary Tonin, I don't know what the current rankings are, but is he number one?
00:49:08.000
In person, he might be the best I've ever seen.
00:49:15.000
There's a point game, and then there's a submission-only game.
00:49:18.000
So that guy, Dean Lister, he goes to Henzo's, and Danaher's there.
00:49:34.000
And then Danaher took what he learned from Dean Lister, and he just blew that shit up, and Danaher's like a scientist.
00:49:46.000
He has his PhD in philosophy, and Henso used to give him...
00:49:50.000
This is literally, I don't know, about 2003 or whatever.
00:49:53.000
Henso, when somebody would come in to kind of challenge, and somebody was really good, he would kind of casually give...
00:50:00.000
John, he'd say, roll with John for a while and see how you do first.
00:50:03.000
And John would just, you'd watch him tap these dudes, like these really good Sambo guys or whoever they were, and he'd just, like he was moving in slow motion.
00:50:15.000
He was a bodybuilder or a powerlifter type physique at one point in time.
00:50:20.000
And then he was working as a bouncer and he wanted to learn martial arts to deal with in bouncing situations.
00:50:28.000
He realized, I should probably have some skills.
00:50:32.000
He doesn't look like it now, but he's still obviously very strong.
00:50:34.000
If you look at him, he's thick and fit, but apparently he used to be really big.
00:50:39.000
He was at the bar afterwards, and he had on a fucking rash guard and some jeans tucked in.
00:50:58.000
Because Gary Tonin went to Henzo's to train with Danner.
00:51:07.000
That's when he started learning the leg locks from him.
00:51:11.000
Him and Eddie Cummings just became best friends and training partners.
00:51:21.000
And now they got this new guy, Gordon Ryan, who just got his black belt.
00:51:29.000
You know who's another leg lock master that people forget?
00:51:34.000
You remember Dave Terrell versus Ricardo Almeida in 2003 in Abu Dhabi?
00:51:39.000
Dude, Dave Terrell had some nasty ass fucking leg locks.
00:51:45.000
I've heard legendary stories about him in the training room.
00:51:50.000
Seeing him compete, watching him in Abu Dhabi, I always expected he was going to be UFC champion because he went into MMA and started smashing people.
00:51:57.000
He knocked out Matt Lindland in the first round.
00:52:01.000
And he also had a series of catastrophic ear injuries.
00:52:14.000
They were like these just fucking ashtrays on his head, hard as a rock, just all cauliflowered up.
0.75
00:52:20.000
But apparently, like, just years and years of hard training, he got an infection inside his ear.
00:52:26.000
They had to take his whole fucking ear off his head, clean it all out, like, try to fuse it and swab it and cauterize it to get it to stop oozing pus.
00:52:36.000
You know you trannel out when your ear falls off.
00:52:43.000
When your ear is fucked, have you ever had an earache or a real bad ear function?
00:52:57.000
I was like, that fucking guy moves like a ghost.
00:53:02.000
And his students, one of them, Joe Soto, they're so good at leg lock defense.
00:53:07.000
Joe Soto, generally when you game plan against Eddie Cummings, the game plan is stay away from any kind of footsie battles.
00:53:20.000
Try to do the super basic jujitsu strategy like what I think it was Lucas Dupree in Abu Dhabi did to Gary Tonin.
00:53:33.000
But one of those guys in Abu Dhabi went against Gary Tonin and he just straight knee slice, boom, stayed tight, stayed in side control, top half.
00:53:42.000
Titan never let Gary get anywhere near his legs.
00:53:45.000
You know, that's the game plan against a leg lock guy like Eddie Cummings.
00:53:49.000
You try to play footsies with him, you're retarded.
00:53:52.000
But Joe Soto, he went in there in the finals at EBI 3. He went in there and just said, he sat on his ass and said, I'm going to play footsies with Eddie Cummings.
00:54:04.000
It's like, how the fuck is he leaving his legs out there for, you know, Eddie Cummins, Grafter's legs, and Joe Soto just displayed just this incredible defense, his leg lock defense.
00:54:18.000
Is he really playing footsies with Eddie Cummins?
00:54:25.000
He showed tremendous fucking savagery for going in there and playing legs with him.
00:54:31.000
And I talked to him afterwards and he said, dude, I roll with Dave Terrell all the goddamn time.
00:54:39.000
Yeah, it's kill or be killed if you're in a leg lock type academy.
1.00
00:54:51.000
Apparently when Rothwell gets a hold of your neck, he just knows how to squeeze that choke.
00:54:59.000
It's a ten-finger guillotine, essentially, but his jiu-jitsu coach wanted to call it a go-go choke.
00:55:05.000
Because it goes against your throat, sort of like a go-go plata.
00:55:09.000
There's no one hotter in the UFC division, heavyweight division right now, than Rothwell's the beast.
00:55:14.000
Good luck beating that guy right now with that confidence.
00:55:18.000
After Stipe destroyed Orlovsky like that, Stipe's right in there, man.
00:55:25.000
Yeah, Mickey Gall apparently won earlier tonight.
00:55:28.000
I was hearing a lot of criticisms about the fight.
00:55:34.000
He was the first prelim ever to have a face-off.
00:55:39.000
I feel like if he was smart, he would just start fighting in small organizations.
00:55:45.000
I get that you want to get a lot of money because the UFC is where it's at with money.
00:55:51.000
But I would think the smart move is what he's already done training-wise.
00:55:58.000
Rufus is going to teach him how to strike as good as anybody in the world.
00:56:02.000
And then you got real good wrestling with Ben Askren.
00:56:09.000
I heard they offered him to go through the Tough show.
00:56:12.000
And he's like, nah, man, I'm trying to go right to the show.
00:56:15.000
So I think Tough would have been better for him.
00:56:21.000
But for your first fight to be in that octagon, good fucking luck, man.
00:56:27.000
They found him on that looking for a fight show on HBO on YouTube in a small organization.
00:56:48.000
Well, he might have got his brown right before the fight.
00:56:51.000
Either way, that's three more belts ahead of CM Punk.
00:57:02.000
Dude, can you imagine if CM Punk goes in and just gets murked?
00:57:05.000
It'd be like from the Waterboy when Michigan put in the Waterboy, the actual Waterboy.
00:57:14.000
If he can strike, if the kid has good jiu-jitsu and he can strike, good luck learning how to strike in a year.
00:57:20.000
If a guy doesn't have any striking under him, can you imagine?
00:57:25.000
Some dude who's got some serious knockout power and you're going to practice for a year.
00:57:30.000
Dude, I like CM Punk as a person, but for the sport, I think it's best if he gets murked.
00:57:45.000
You and I are arguing about Rumble and Jon Jones.
00:57:55.000
Rumble can hit you on the temple and your shit could just go boing, boing, boing.
00:58:01.000
He has the biggest head, the longest steepie I've ever seen on Rumble.
00:58:09.000
I think Jon takes him down, wears him out, and takes his heart.
00:58:12.000
People forget that Stipe got stopped by Skyscraper.
00:58:20.000
Stefan Struve, man, he's had some real tough fights.
00:58:23.000
There's a guy who's had some real tough fights.
00:58:31.000
Back in the day, the kid had some mad potential, and still does.
00:58:42.000
Yeah, he's had some ruthless knockouts inside the Oxagon.
00:58:45.000
And when's the last time you saw a seven-foot-tall grandpa?
00:59:23.000
What kind of dog shit, arthritis-ridden existence is that?
00:59:36.000
I said, 40 years from now, who the fuck knows what kind of crazy medicine you're going to have?
00:59:41.000
Yeah, my son goes, Daddy, what's going to happen when I'm 45?
00:59:46.000
And he asked me that for real, and I said, shit.
00:59:53.000
I just don't want to be dead when you come out with this technology.
01:00:24.000
And I don't think Rumble's going to wait for a title shot.
01:00:34.000
Dude, Ryan Bader, I love the guy where he said, oh shit, that ain't snowflake.
01:00:38.000
That motherfucker came right in, shot a low single, and just stayed on it.
1.00
01:01:02.000
125. Oh, that's right, 125. That's the girls division.
0.98
01:01:24.000
That's a hard move to pull off on a strong dude as it is.
01:01:28.000
A guy as strong as Rumble who's on top and you don't even have half guard.
01:01:33.000
When he was holding onto it, he had to do something with his legs.
01:01:35.000
He just didn't have the dexterity to get into a position like a half guard or something and then get up to the dogfight, right?
01:02:00.000
And you know one of those punches is going to change your life.
01:02:15.000
No, I'm saying Jon Jones is gonna take Rumble down.
01:02:18.000
I promise you he's gonna inside trip him, take him down.
01:02:30.000
Rumble is getting better and better, and now that he's training with Neil Melanson, he's getting his grappling in order.
01:02:43.000
He has the skills to starch anyone, in the words of Joe Rogan, but...
01:02:47.000
Yeah, he's got the skills to stiffen them all up.
01:02:50.000
It's whether or not he can apply it against the very best of the best.
01:02:56.000
So he's at this edge right now where only a guy like Cormier can beat him.
01:03:00.000
Because everybody else, Jimmy Manoa, everybody gets the fuck beat out of him.
01:03:10.000
Gustafson and Rumble Johnson's a good fight, matchup-wise.
01:03:25.000
What makes you think that that wouldn't happen again?
01:03:27.000
It might not happen every time, but with the data that we have currently available...
01:03:41.000
And so you gotta think, okay, first of all, the kind of beating that Gustafson took in that fight, you don't want to take again.
01:03:53.000
So when I see a guy break, now I look at Jon Jones, who's broken everybody, including DC, broke DC. Let's not get it twisted.
01:04:20.000
There's always going to be a guy that's going to break you.
01:04:23.000
There's always going to be multiple guys that can break you.
01:04:26.000
Because they don't fight anybody that much better than them.
01:04:30.000
Vince Lombardi said, fatigue makes cowards of us all.
01:04:46.000
When you're tired, I turn into such a pussy.
1.00
01:04:52.000
I've been getting into this straight cardio over the last few months.
01:04:56.000
I've been doing these hardcore cardio workouts just because I hate them.
01:05:02.000
Not like a Tabata protocol, but I do a 30-second on, 30-second off on an elliptical machine.
01:05:07.000
I adjust it from 16, which is pretty hard, pretty stiff, to 20, which is like you're wrestling this fucking thing.
01:05:26.000
And what I'm doing, the 45-minute workout, the first 15 minutes, I'm just getting everything ramped up.
01:05:32.000
The first 15 minutes, just keeping it on 16 and going at a very fast pace.
01:05:37.000
Then once I get to the first 15 minutes and I'm sweating, then it's death runs.
01:05:45.000
Depending upon how long I can last, how many death runs I can do.
01:05:51.000
I just have to just pace myself at 16. But then when I feel like I've got my heart rate down, because my elliptical thing has got a little heart rate thing.
01:05:59.000
What kind of elliptical do you have that can take this fucking beast of a workout?
01:06:08.000
But if you go on a death run, you gotta go on a save your life, save your loved one, save your mom from fucking- Who makes you do that, though?
01:06:22.000
Can't you think you're sprinting, but you're like, during the sprint time, you're like, you know what?
01:06:35.000
I don't remember what it is at 180 or at 20. But it's somewhere where you want your heart rate to be somewhere around 180. And I forget what the revolutions are because they're different on the one that I use at the gym versus the one that I use at home.
01:06:48.000
But you can have a number where you can keep it at that number.
01:06:53.000
So when you hit 147, you just got to fucking keep it there for that 30 seconds.
01:06:58.000
And it's big, deep Wim Hof breaths the whole time.
01:07:03.000
And just wrestle this thing for 30 seconds.
0.72
01:07:07.000
You know what's a nightmare is setting just a little something.
01:07:10.000
Set the treadmill at 15 incline and put it at 4 miles an hour and walk.
01:07:21.000
Have I talked about the cardio I did for metamorphosis?
01:07:32.000
The thing about the pool thing, though, is the way I did it was there's a giant clock, and every time it hits 12, you sprint across the pool.
01:07:41.000
So when you get to the end of the pool, whatever's left in that minute, you get to rest.
01:07:46.000
So when you're doing that, No one has to tell you bust ass.
01:07:59.000
As soon as the clock hits 12, you bust ass across the pool.
01:08:02.000
You get past and it's like you got 35 seconds to rest.
01:08:12.000
And no matter how chaotic your breathing is, you got...
01:08:16.000
No matter how tired you are you got to keep your breathing on point because to swim your shit so you got you're like dying But at the same time there's something in your mind that you're on dude Survival mode you're dying, but your breathing's got to be perfect that you're gonna swallow water You're gonna swallow water and you that to me was super fucking crucial.
01:08:37.000
Yeah, exactly wrestling with no matter what and You're breathing.
01:08:41.000
No matter how chaotic your situation is, you practice breathing in chaotic situations.
01:08:48.000
Because if you hiccup at all, you swallow water.
01:09:00.000
He's down at Muscle Farm, and he's training with Bang again.
01:09:05.000
I don't know what's going on with those guys in Sacramento.
01:09:11.000
Him and Lance Palmer have been bouncing all over.
01:09:14.000
Him and Lance Palmer have been bouncing all over.
01:09:18.000
At Muscle Farm, they've got a hell of a team down there.
01:09:21.000
TJ, Lance Palmer, Benavidez, Neil Magny, Thatch.
01:09:25.000
Well, Benavidez has got to do what he's got to do.
01:09:30.000
I think he's 34. But at 125, well, what if he loses to McCoskey tonight?
01:09:42.000
Let's say he fights DJ for a third time and he loses.
01:10:14.000
I didn't know who the fuck he was, but I saw him for the first time today, the prelim.
01:10:24.000
Before the fight started, they had mentioned, because Scroggins thinks he has the best movement in MMA. And I'm like, oh my motherfucking God, how retarded can this guy be?
1.00
01:10:33.000
The best movement in MMA? You fucking retard!
1.00
01:10:38.000
And then after one round, I'm like, okay, he might have a point here.
01:10:51.000
And his striking was just like coming from all sorts.
01:10:56.000
He's throwing every kick and spinning everything.
01:11:01.000
He's one of the best guys at standing in that sideways karate-style stance and using the front leg, too.
01:11:10.000
I don't know if Brian Stan was correct or not, but he was talking about how...
01:11:14.000
And I don't know, like I said, I don't know anything about Scroggins, but Brian Stan was saying that when he fights...
01:11:20.000
Southpaw, he fights more karate, and when he fights orthodox, he's fighting more Muay Thai or something like that.
01:11:41.000
Because his sideways stance allows him to use that front leg.
01:11:45.000
So if you're fighting a guy that doesn't know, like, that style, he can get away with a lot of shit.
01:11:49.000
Like, if you're used to a guy who's fighting Muay Thai style with that light front leg and more of a closed-off stance, You can get away with that with a Muay Thai guy, but with a karate guy, he'll stand sideways.
01:12:02.000
He'll stand sideways and throw those fucking front leg sidekicks, and you don't know what to do.
01:12:10.000
A lot of these Muay Thai style guys, they're standing right in front of each other.
01:12:19.000
I've never heard of anybody describe a fighter like that.
01:12:26.000
He probably had a conversation with him about the different ways he utilizes it.
01:12:33.000
There's a lot of guys that switch, but they switch, they're playing the same shit.
01:12:41.000
Well, you know who else is super versatile at being able to switch back and forth?
01:12:48.000
I was going to say, former Strikeforce champion, just fought, welterweight, goddammit.
01:12:59.000
Tarek Safferdeen is a wizard at going back and forth.
01:14:06.000
Jean-Claude Van Damme on this show would be fucking amazing.
01:14:10.000
When I come back, when I decide to make my comeback against the Thai world champion.
01:14:15.000
He's been talking about making a comeback for like 10 years.
01:14:20.000
If you want to see something that is amazing that no one talks about, you need to watch the Jean-Claude Van Damme reality show.
01:14:57.000
He keeps talking about having this fight that he's been scheduling for years.
01:15:01.000
He pays this Thai guy, gives him a little scratch.
01:15:09.000
And he pretends he's gonna fight this guy and they fucking knuckle up.
01:15:17.000
He does this speech about having to fight for the children.
01:15:29.000
He gets gacked to the gills on coke, and he goes to parties with Russian oligarchs.
01:15:36.000
They fly him out to Chechnya, he goes to a fucking disco with a fucking champagne bottle in both hands, and he wakes up in the morning and he feels bad.
01:15:43.000
He feels bad that the children have done this to the children.
01:16:07.000
Yeah, but that last movie probably made eight dollars.
01:16:12.000
All those other movies that he made his whole life, if he was just reasonably frugal, he has hundreds of millions of dollars.
01:16:28.000
I went to go see it on that Friday night and we had to get the early blood sport.
01:16:38.000
He existed back in the day where people bought DVDs.
01:16:48.000
So you get a percentage You get a percentage of that?
01:16:50.000
You get a percentage of it when they sell it to Showtime, HBO, Cinemax, TVS, all that shit.
01:16:58.000
He was producing, he was a part of the ownership of those films.
01:17:08.000
I don't think anybody can beat up John Carlson.
01:17:11.000
I'm seeing a lot of information online, but something I just found said he is the...
01:17:17.000
Top 10 highest paid actors for 2016 with an estimated $82 million in combined earnings.
01:17:35.000
If you gave me $100 million, I'd do a little coke every now and then.
01:17:41.000
I was like, oh, he's being stupid with his money.
01:18:05.000
He's got so much money he could pay the guy to fight where they can choreograph.
01:18:09.000
He's paying them to show up and choreograph the fight.
01:18:11.000
They don't choreograph a fight, but they choreograph press conferences.
01:18:16.000
I think maybe he's thought about actually fighting about three or four times, but most of the time, what it is, is just getting together and saying that you're thinking about fighting, and you've got to schedule a fight, but I have movies to attend to.
01:18:29.000
He blinded somebody in one of his movies with a wheel kick, and he had to do a deposition at a trial about how...
01:18:42.000
Oh, he's definitely not as good-looking as Alan now.
01:19:11.000
If any of you fuckers try to say, Benavidez get robbed or Bacardi got robbed...
01:19:20.000
If the decision comes out, we would do a worse job than, you know, name your least favorite judge.
01:19:31.000
You had your right shoulder turned to the screen the entire time.
01:19:43.000
I got Brian Callen a pair of the barbell jeans, so props to barbell jeans.
01:19:47.000
Eddie Bravo just took the second large glass of vino.
01:20:14.000
I've gone to dinner with him, and he gets in a conversation with this sommelier.
01:20:17.000
And he says, what do you have in a Burgundy from 97?
01:20:22.000
And the guy goes, oh shit, this motherfucker's for real.
01:20:26.000
And then Callan will start talking about different grapes that are grown on different hillsides, and he'll explain.
1.00
01:20:35.000
We ate at this restaurant and the Somalia was like, yes, correct, that's correct.
1.00
01:20:48.000
I think Jean-Claude Van Damme wears those too, though, for sure.
01:21:03.000
Are you going to put your socks on before you kick?
01:21:12.000
Do you still wear those shiny shoes so that you can throw roundhouse kicks quicker because you pivot?
01:21:21.000
If you have a shiny soul, like, that's terrible.
01:21:27.000
You have a, no, see, it's not bad, but you have an inherent flaw in your technique that probably was never, never explained to you.
01:22:23.000
All you're doing wrong is you're coming up, your foot is going up from the ground in almost like a half moon.
01:22:33.000
That's one of the cool things about those jeans.
01:22:36.000
That's one of the cool things about those jeans.
01:22:37.000
Yeah, these jeans that we're wearing, they're like sweatpants, man.
01:22:45.000
Get your knee up first and then throw the kick.
01:22:47.000
The problem is you're doing both at the same time.
01:22:50.000
Don't throw the kick until your knee is up high.
01:22:52.000
Lift your knee up way high past your waist and then throw the kick.
01:22:56.000
Knee up first and then don't look over your stomach.
01:23:47.000
Even in the air, fucking Chuck Norris is blushing.
01:23:53.000
I still think Jean-Claude Van Damme beats the fuck out of both of you.
01:24:33.000
Dude, I'd love to see our actual taekwondo match between Callen and Rogan.
01:24:41.000
Dude, my barbell chains make me a fucking monster.
01:24:58.000
It's the number one thing about the sidekick that people get wrong.
01:25:02.000
If you learn to do it right, you learn to get that knee up high, the power difference is fucking substantial.
01:25:13.000
Hey, Callan, with Rogan's help, you could be the best.
01:25:38.000
If I ever threw a kick like that, I'd be sick for a year.
01:25:51.000
It's just you need to learn how to do it right.
01:25:54.000
The knee has to come up high, and then you can do it right.
01:25:56.000
Once I showed you how to do it, you were doing it way better.
01:26:01.000
I'll tell you right now, you throw that sidekick with Jean-Claude Van Damme in here, he's going to throw up.
01:26:25.000
He's going to be like Freddie Roach in about three years.
01:26:41.000
What if it gets to the point where you're paying dudes to not wear pads?
01:26:56.000
You just come in and you take a beating and it'll give you fucking $5,000.
01:27:09.000
Who knows what's going on with your liver when you get fucking, like, when Dos Anjos kick cowboy in the body?
01:27:17.000
Dude, you throw one of those spinning heel kicks in someone's body?
0.99
01:27:22.000
I've seen people get launched across the fucking floor from a turning side kick to the body.
01:27:34.000
There's a video of me on YouTube kicking a guy and he soars.
01:27:37.000
There was a video of me doing that and they took it down because that's too dangerous.
01:27:56.000
A kick to the body is always painful because your leg is strong.
01:27:59.000
Even if you have a half-ass kick, you throw a kick to the body, it's usually stronger than most people's punches, unless you're like some Tumanov type character.
01:28:07.000
Also, your shoulder should take the kick around.
01:28:08.000
But when you learn how to kick, and you kick good, a kick to the body is horrific.
01:28:21.000
I think you can afford to pay dudes so that you fucking...
0.72
01:28:34.000
Dudes will only be able to last like 90 seconds tops with Joe.
1.00
01:28:51.000
I can't believe I just said I've been around kicking for a long time.
01:28:53.000
Can you imagine how good that'll feel, dude, if he could do that?
01:29:05.000
Dude, it sounded like somebody was shooting a shotgun.
01:29:08.000
You know who's the strongest I've ever heard kick a bag?
01:29:13.000
They scared me more than anything I've ever seen in my life.
01:29:16.000
When I saw him kick the bag at Beverly Hills Jiu Jitsu, all I thought of is just would take one and I'd be over.
01:29:23.000
If he kicked me once in the leg, my shit would just give up.
01:29:25.000
You know who had the hardest kick I've ever seen?
01:29:32.000
He wasn't tempted to throw him in the fight because he thought heavyweights could counter.
01:29:36.000
He fucked up so many guys' legs in the gym, they banned him from kicking.
01:29:43.000
Why didn't they fucking pay people the money to go down?
01:29:55.000
They would work on kicks all the time, but then he would never throw it in sparring and do it in fights.
01:30:00.000
His legs were so heavy, he'd like, fuck up your ACL and MCL. Carwin was a fucking freak specimen as far as his skeletal muscular structure.
01:30:07.000
He had to spar him every day for how many years?
01:30:17.000
I was like, I either got to start rapping or play basketball or fucking spar car with.
01:30:27.000
Probably wouldn't be a bigger thing for him to hit.
01:30:29.000
Dude, I was living in Boulder and I was training at Amal Easton's and this guy walked in and we were in the middle of class, we were going over drills, and I saw this guy walk in and I'm like, that's not even a real person.
01:30:42.000
He had this t-shirt on that looked like it probably was made for me.
01:30:47.000
His fucking arms were my thighs, essentially.
0.80
01:30:54.000
At the time, he had to make 265. He was cutting weight.
01:31:14.000
By far the hottest girl, I think, in MMA. She's also just awesome in general.
0.99
01:31:21.000
There's some girl that just started fighting in Bellator that looks really hot.
1.00
01:31:27.000
I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers and kick me in the face.
1.00
01:31:35.000
Once Paige got her ass whooped like that, I'm like, ah, I'm off that train now.
01:31:59.000
I don't like seeing him when I'm gonna get punched like that.
01:32:09.000
They try everything in their power not to show that.
01:32:16.000
You know the loop, the knockout loop that plays to Baba O'Reilly, the Who song?
01:32:30.000
Dana's gonna listen to this and that shit's gonna be marked out now.
1.00
01:32:33.000
Listen, Holly Holm is a fucking legit champion.
01:32:40.000
He might have a love for Ronda like as a person, but the bottom line is- Business is business.
01:32:49.000
You couldn't remove that spectacular, because that was the most spectacular result in the history of women's MMA and the UFC. 100%.
1.00
01:33:00.000
What we're seeing, now Holly's having her first fight.
0.96
01:33:04.000
What did this motherfucker say before the podcast started?
01:33:31.000
I think if Misha can't take Holly down, if Misha can't take Holly down, Holly's going to win.
0.92
01:33:37.000
She's either going to decision her or she's going to mock her.
1.00
01:33:39.000
But if she can take her down, if she can take her down...
01:33:43.000
I don't think Holly's jiu-jitsu is anywhere near Misha's.
0.66
01:33:56.000
Let's not say she's going to do this because we really don't know.
01:34:05.000
He said she's not going to be able to take her down and she's going to light her up.
01:34:13.000
I think, honestly, I think Misha Tate is a better grappler.
01:34:16.000
I think Misha Tate dominated Sarah McMahon on the ground and flipped her over on her back and held her down, which is a giant accomplishment.
01:34:22.000
Out-grappled her, out-grounded her out, and showed some badass striking against Jessica.
01:34:36.000
All I'm saying is that I don't think it's disrespectful.
01:34:45.000
You were disrespectful, John Claude Van Damme, for sure.
01:35:20.000
I don't think it's disrespectful to say the greatest striker ever in MMA. The greatest striker ever for women in MMA. Ioana.
01:35:37.000
Yeah, but to say that she would light anybody up for KO power.
0.98
01:35:42.000
But to say that Holly would light up anybody is not disrespectful.
01:35:46.000
No, you were saying she's going to light her up.
01:35:50.000
It might happen, or Misha might take her to the ground and be able to dominate her from there.
0.97
01:36:00.000
But if she can, if Misha can take her down...
0.93
01:36:04.000
I think Misha's gonna, if she can take her down, she's gonna be all over her on the ground.
0.97
01:36:13.000
Like, we haven't seen Holly on the ground really.
01:36:15.000
Except for those brief moments with Ronda where she got out of Ronda's armbar attempt and where she took Ronda down.
01:36:22.000
As far as, you might have some inside information from gyms, from people who trained with her.
01:36:28.000
I think it's a tougher matchup stylistic-wise for Holly than Rhonda.
0.99
01:36:33.000
Well, I know that she's not obsessed with jiu-jitsu.
01:36:38.000
She's one of those, and there's a lot of MMA fighters like that.
1.00
01:36:44.000
There's a lot of guys that just want to stand and bang and work their wrestling and work to get up.
01:36:54.000
They just want to beat the shit out of people, take them fucking down and get on top, or not even fucking take them down, just stay and bang and work on their takedown defense.
01:37:03.000
If they get taken down, work on getting back up.
01:37:21.000
And what those fighters all have in common, they're generally not known to have dangerous weapons off their back.
01:37:32.000
She gets the fuck up and kicks bitches in the face.
1.00
01:37:41.000
Whose jiu-jitsu does she have to worry about in the women's division?
1.00
01:37:46.000
She works on takedown defense a lot, and she works on getting back up a lot.
0.99
01:37:53.000
Isn't there a lesson to be learned that MMA math doesn't really work, and that styles really match up weird sometimes?
01:38:00.000
The Misha Tate fight versus Holly Holm fight, I think, is a very tough fight.
01:38:12.000
She fights with their fucking hands up high.
1.00
01:38:14.000
She doesn't rush in and take crazy chances, and she can pop.
01:38:16.000
I mean, she dropped Jessica Ai with a really good right hand.
0.98
01:38:25.000
And like Holly, she's lost and been beaten up before.
01:38:33.000
Because she came back and beat Jessica Ai and Sarah McMahon.
1.00
01:38:36.000
I thought showing more determination, showing more grit.
01:38:39.000
Her back was against the wall after losing that fight to Kat, and she came back stronger.
01:38:44.000
From what I've seen with my eye, whether I'm right or not, it looks like Holly not only is a higher level striker, I think Holly, just from what I've seen, has much more snap and speed.
01:39:00.000
Misha's record is way better in MMA than Holly's.
01:39:04.000
Holly's been mainly a striker and not an MMA person, right?
01:39:10.000
She's arguably got the best striking credentials ever in the history of the women's division.
0.98
01:39:17.000
The only one who comes close is Ioana because she's six-time world Muay Thai champion when it comes to actual champions.
0.97
01:39:23.000
But Misha can grapple, she can clinch, she can avoid striking, and she doesn't necessarily have to kickbox with her.
0.99
01:39:33.000
If they had an MMA kickboxing match, which is what essentially the Ronda fight was, except for two brief moments...
01:39:40.000
If they went kickboxing, yeah, Holly's gonna fuck her up.
1.00
01:39:46.000
She's sneaky, she knows a lot of shit, and she's been there before.
0.98
01:39:51.000
She knows she can grind it out in a grueling brawl.
1.00
01:40:00.000
See, I think Misha, she's never gonna beat Ronda, but Misha can beat Holly to be champion.
01:40:06.000
I just think stylistic-wise, it's a much better matchup.
01:40:11.000
I'm just saying, from what I know in mixed martial arts, I think stylistic-wise, Misha has a way better chance of beating Holly than she does Ronda.
01:40:18.000
Also, there's a big difference between someone who is fighting off the back leg as a counter person, which Holly is just ridiculously good at.
1.00
01:40:27.000
Her counters, her timing was fucking spectacular.
01:40:29.000
But Ronda was presenting a predictable target.
0.99
01:40:35.000
So all Holly had to do was be patient, find the right footwork, and catch her coming in, because she knew she was coming in.
01:40:42.000
So it was an exercise in moving back and countering.
01:40:50.000
But if you remember, there was a few fighters, most notably Patrick Cote, that fought Anderson Silva, and he didn't lead.
01:40:57.000
And when he didn't lead, Anderson did not look nearly as good.
01:41:01.000
It was a horrible fight because Cote has an iron jaw, he's got knockout power, and he's smart.
01:41:08.000
He knows that Anderson is a wizard at countering.
01:41:10.000
So he's not his predictable, usual, aggressive self.
01:41:14.000
I don't think those two girls are on the same level as that.
01:41:20.000
For women, no one's been on a higher level striking-wise.
01:41:23.000
I think Misha's will afford to get an underhook and try to grind her out of your cage.
1.00
01:41:29.000
Holly's going to make her kick not so much.
1.00
01:41:40.000
This fight ain't going by the first round, by the way.
01:41:42.000
And she's going to be stronger than Misha.
0.89
01:41:52.000
Patrick Cummings really beat him down last round.
01:42:05.000
He's a dude that just keeps getting better, too.
01:42:07.000
If you can get him down, you can win the fight.
01:42:10.000
Didn't he try out for the NFL a bunch of times?
01:42:14.000
He just played at University of Tennessee and then went straight to...
01:42:24.000
No, he didn't get tryouts with the NFL. When he knocked out Shogun with that step-away left hook...
0.80
01:42:50.000
I will absolutely watch Liotto and Dan Henderson.
01:42:57.000
Because Liotto, just a year and a half ago, knocked out Mark Munoz with that wicked left head kick.
01:43:02.000
Liotto is one of my favorite people on the planet.
01:43:07.000
Well, Dan Henderson has a bunch of fights left in his contract, and I think he still thinks that he can do it.
01:43:17.000
Two unsuccessful attempts at professional football.
01:43:31.000
Brendan Shaw, former NFL player with fucking logic.
01:43:36.000
He played football for 20 years, but it's whatever.
01:43:54.000
OSB's thing, man, is his training camp, his team.
01:44:07.000
He kicked a homeboy and hurt his leg kicking him.
01:44:23.000
He started out in Southpaw, now he switched because his leg's fucked up.
0.91
01:44:27.000
So he's kicking with the fucked up leg as his supporting leg?
01:44:37.000
Isn't it weird just to try to see a guy try to hide that shit?
01:44:40.000
You know who was the best I've ever seen in it?
01:44:44.000
Uriah Hall had his foot fucked up so bad that his toe was hanging off.
01:44:49.000
And he came back to his corner and we got a camera on it so we could get a look at it.
01:44:56.000
Like his toe, the bone was sticking out of his toe.
01:45:03.000
Uriah, what I'm saying is he went back to his corner, like barely could walk.
01:45:07.000
And then when the round started, that motherfucker completely ignored it.
0.99
01:45:13.000
His fucking toe was hanging off and he's throwing wheel kicks with it.
01:45:18.000
It was broken off to the right, and the bone was coming out.
01:45:41.000
The fight with Gegard was a spectacular victory for him.
01:45:52.000
Talos Laitis is another one who fought very smart against Anderson Silva.
01:45:55.000
He's another one that went five rounds with Anderson Silva.
01:46:06.000
It looks like he can throw some elbows from the guard.
01:46:08.000
And Ovin St. Pooh's on top right now with Fajar and his guard.
01:46:11.000
It looks like he's got good left elbows in the guard.
01:46:14.000
One thing about a guy like Fajar, though, is that Fajar's a really good striker.
01:46:18.000
And really good strikers are hard to ground and pound.
01:46:20.000
Because they don't panic, they don't lock up, they get used to getting hit, they know how to roll with things, and they know what's coming.
01:46:27.000
You know, like, their IQ as far as, like, striking, like, where the right hand's coming, where the left hand's coming, what position you're in to put, like, real torque behind something.
01:46:36.000
Like, look how, see how clever he's moving when he's off his back?
01:46:41.000
Yeah, didn't Fajal fight Anderson back in the day?
01:46:44.000
No, he fought King Mo and knocked him out in Strikeforce to win the title.
01:46:50.000
He's had a tough stint in the UFC. He's had some ups and downs.
01:46:53.000
He might have gotten the UFC a little later in his career.
01:46:56.000
It would be a little late for him at his best effort.
01:47:17.000
I feel like that's a bad idea to put ice before you go out there.
01:47:24.000
Oh, he might have broke his foot when he threw that leg kick.
01:47:30.000
He might have blew his knee out or blew his foot out or something.
01:47:40.000
But it's just interesting, you know, like little variations in someone's gait.
01:47:48.000
This is why I think I'm so excited about what's going on right now with MMA, with guys working on this crazy footwork.
01:47:56.000
Like camp with the T.J. Dillashaw-style footwork, Dominic Cruz's footwork, Conor McGregor's footwork.
01:48:04.000
Tate Fletcher texted me the other day and goes, Hey man, you have any movement coaches in LA? I text him back, Fuck you.
01:48:17.000
Whoever you're looking for, tell them to go to the jail.
01:48:23.000
If you're an MMA fan, you understand why that's so funny because I'm guilty of it as much as anybody, but I can't shut the fuck up about movement coaches.
01:48:40.000
As a kid, I climbed on trees and played with rocks.
01:48:47.000
Yeah, it would have been nice if he had a more detailed background.
01:48:59.000
I think he knows a lot about movement, proprioception, some of the things he was talking about, about balance and coordination.
01:49:08.000
Listen, man, I think you won that fight anyways, but I don't think you moved too well.
01:49:12.000
I think he's only been working with him for a short amount of time, and you know as much as I do that new things you're going to incorporate into high-level cage fighting.
01:49:22.000
Maybe go to the gym and grapple or something, huh?
01:49:34.000
Whoever it is that did that, tweet me so I can give them credit.
01:49:41.000
I just climbed on rocks as a kid and climbed some trees.
01:49:49.000
I was confused still, even at the end, how they sort of designed their protocol.
01:49:55.000
I mean, how he designs what they're going to do that day.
01:50:06.000
For everyone else, stay the fuck in the gym and work on your sport.
01:50:09.000
But how can you say this if you haven't done it?
01:50:11.000
I honestly believe, unless you've done it, you wouldn't know.
01:50:18.000
Would you not have thought that that shit was for housewives before you ever did it?
1.00
01:50:25.000
I don't go to yoga to be like, listen, I'm going to be Andre Erlowski.
01:50:30.000
Listen, I'm not talking about why you as an experienced yoga person goes to yoga.
01:50:33.000
I'm talking about your prejudice against yoga before you ever did yoga.
01:50:55.000
You didn't think that it was way easier than it turned out to be?
01:51:02.000
Your perception of it was that it was way easier than it actually was.
01:51:05.000
It was harder, but in the middle of training camp, I'm like, thank God for Mrs. Downs in this yoga, otherwise I wouldn't move as good in this yoga.
01:51:13.000
But there's a lot of movement in training, right?
01:51:18.000
You're chock full of movement in training camp.
01:51:21.000
Don't they have a lot of yoga, movements and movement?
01:51:24.000
Yeah, there's definitely a lot of movement in yoga.
01:51:30.000
Hold on a second there, because there's people that don't get degrees.
01:51:33.000
How about the Gymnastica Natural that Hicks and Gracie attributes to a lot of its flexibility in movement?
01:51:39.000
Before these movement coaches, this is what people need to understand.
01:51:43.000
Back in the fucking early 90s, Hickson was like a guy, he was like Candyman.
01:51:50.000
He'd show up on your fucking doorstep and strangle you.
01:51:54.000
Dude, he was the motherfucker of motherfuckers.
01:52:11.000
But you can also add in that he did 40 years of jujitsu.
01:52:16.000
That's why he stood out from all the Gracies.
1.00
01:52:27.000
A detective would say, maybe it had something to do with that.
01:52:37.000
Hickson, the reason why he was the greatest ever was because he was the perfect storm.
01:52:41.000
He was the guy who was super smart, he was super tough, he had a warrior mentality, and he was intelligent enough to apply a bunch of really unconventional training modalities, like some serious yoga.
01:52:53.000
That fucking video of him on the bars in Santa Monica before he fought in Japan Valley Tudo, he's doing balance beam shit, going to a full split, standing there on this fucking bar on the beach.
01:53:12.000
Like if a guy said he's been doing movement, a guy comes into your gym, a guy comes into your gym and he's been doing movement.
01:53:17.000
I'm saying if I'm a young MMA fighter in the UFC, on my list of priorities to become a UFC champion, hiring a movement coach who his background is climbing on rocks and climbing trees is not the guy I'm going to fucking hire.
01:53:37.000
If you say anything, I will sidekick the fuck out of you with his tutelage.
01:53:40.000
I don't know what Erlon Erwan LaCour can do, but I know he has the respect of Carlos Condit, so he's got my respect.
01:53:45.000
I enjoy talking to him and I think he knows a lot.
01:53:49.000
But I don't know if he can do what that Ido Portal guy can do.
01:53:59.000
Joe, all I'm saying is if you're gonna dedicate your time to something, I don't know if that's the way to go.
01:54:06.000
Guys like Rich Martinez, we brought this up before.
01:54:12.000
And the ability to manipulate his body, standing on one hand, doing the fucking full lotus, all the crazy shit that he could do, directly translated to him almost immediately being a bad motherfucker in jiu-jitsu.
01:54:26.000
Ridiculously, and not just athletic, but the dexterity of his movements.
01:54:35.000
Breakdancing's This is why I'm saying you're wrong.
01:54:47.000
Don't you remember what football players were taking ballet?
01:55:01.000
And to get this ham hock and these tights and put C-Rotel?
0.54
01:55:20.000
All this shit you've done for five years, I lived in the woods, studying mushrooms in Bali.
01:55:32.000
And you have to perform and put on performances.
01:55:34.000
That's like going to painting school and learning how to play video games.
01:55:40.000
Let me tell you something right now, and I'm being dead serious.
01:55:55.000
No, you had this crazy dance video that you made.
01:56:21.000
It was a guy just like, it's okay to dance on a dance floor.
01:56:25.000
As long as you step into this arena and you're on the hardwood, we agree you're allowed to get ridiculous.
01:56:30.000
But you can't do that shit when you're waiting in line to rent a car.
01:56:37.000
I just remember there was some inappropriate dancing.
01:56:39.000
Yeah, when I slapped the gimbal, I slapped that bob thing, and I would jump out.
01:56:45.000
Dude, we were doing ballet, and then about two days into it, someone's like, uh, we should probably go catch some footballs.
01:56:54.000
And that's where all this movement and dancing stuff.
01:56:59.000
But don't you think lunges are, essentially, in a lot of ways, especially dumbbell lunges, are very much a movement exercise?
01:57:05.000
Because it's all about balance and rigidity and keeping your core straight.
01:57:08.000
There's something about double dumbbell lunges, things along those lines.
01:57:18.000
If you're going to apply an explosive movement to a martial art, there's no doubt about lifting weights helps, right?
01:57:26.000
If there was no weight restrictions, you could do whatever you wanted and lift as much weight as you wanted.
01:57:31.000
There's a big difference between 170 and 200. There's just a big difference.
01:57:36.000
If you get way more explosive, it's beneficial in an applied situation, right?
01:57:46.000
It's like you're talking about movement with weights or movement with Muay Thai.
01:57:50.000
There's a lot of people that say training in Muay Thai has helped their jiu-jitsu.
01:57:56.000
The explosions you have to do in Muay Thai, that's movement too.
01:58:00.000
I would also say, I would avoid Cummings with gymnastics.
01:58:05.000
What leads one person, like with Hickson, what leads him into the other disciplines is that mindset.
01:58:19.000
But also, he was a student of the great Japanese samurai.
01:58:26.000
And one of the things about the Book of Five Rings that it emphasized was like taking in all sorts of different, be soft, like taking calligraphy, do painting, stay flexible.
01:58:36.000
And the reason for that, if you look at any great innovator, they started with one discipline, they started with one discipline, and then when they studied other disciplines, they were able to appropriate those disciplines and come up with a new style.
01:58:48.000
You don't revolutionize a new style by studying that style.
01:59:11.000
Can you imagine the pussy Hickson was getting?
0.54
01:59:21.000
I think your jujitsu helps your music, and I think your music helps your jujitsu.
01:59:27.000
And I think as your jujitsu's gotten better, your music's gotten better, and as your music's gotten better, your jujitsu's gotten better.
01:59:35.000
If you hired a movie coach, you'd be Red Hot Chili Peppers.
0.50
01:59:38.000
When you get great at things, especially you, specifically, you're a guy who...
01:59:42.000
One of the best things about you creating 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu, ever since I've known you, if you have an idea in your mind, there's a point you have to get to.
01:59:51.000
Like, okay, there's a spot over there you gotta get to.
01:59:53.000
You have this crazy tunnel vision where you'll figure out unconventional paths to get to a point.
01:59:58.000
Like, you can block out a lot of, like, external shit that a lot of other people don't, you know, they can't block out.
02:00:05.000
They can't, like, tune in to the finish line the way you can.
02:00:08.000
It's really interesting to see, because I think that applies to your music as well.
02:00:14.000
And I think it comes, for a lot of us, I think it comes from, like, some fucked up place where you didn't get enough when you were a child.
02:00:22.000
Love, attention, praise, friendship, camaraderie.
02:00:27.000
Also what's really important is like I said this to him the other day.
02:00:35.000
How did you turn this into you when I was talking about it?
02:00:41.000
Listen, when you do something that you're afraid of or that makes you uncomfortable, I end up writing.
02:00:47.000
I think when you do another discipline that maybe you're not even good at that scares you, it'll open up channels in your original discipline.
02:00:56.000
It'll jumble your brain so you come at things in a different way.
02:01:03.000
You're most likely, if you're in a creative field, it's harder to branch out and become more creative.
02:01:08.000
If you do things you're not that good at, that maybe you're scared of, that cause you to stretch in other areas, and this is the argument for movement coaches, when you do things you're not that good at to step out of your comfort zone, you'll probably get better at your original discipline.
02:01:23.000
You better be good at everything else before you hire a movement coach.
02:01:25.000
With that being said, being open-minded, I think the four of us should get a timeshare.
02:01:39.000
Listen, after all of our chicks get sick of our bullshit, let's just get a fat house in the hills and do this.
1.00
02:01:45.000
We just have a big house with four branches where we don't have to necessarily hear each other.
02:01:54.000
Don't live like these bitches that we've become trapped in this world.
1.00
02:02:24.000
It's a very good fight at this time in both their careers.
02:02:28.000
Whereas Anderson, when he was dominating, right after he smashed Chael Sonnen in the second fight, you would think that's a tough fight for Bisping.
02:02:41.000
Psychologically, there's two brutal losses in a row.
02:02:49.000
Then he just gets by Nick Diaz, but he gets humiliated.
02:02:54.000
Nick Diaz lies on his back and puts his hands on his head and mocks him.
02:03:00.000
Dude, Nick Diaz was super respectful right up until the moment they got in that cage, and then he was Nick Diaz.
02:03:09.000
It's like that old fable about the scorpion and the frog.
02:03:12.000
The frog wants to get across the pond, and the scorpion says, Or the scorpion wants to get across the pond and the frog is in the water and the scorpion says, let me ride on your back.
02:03:26.000
He goes, well, if I did that, we would both die.
02:03:29.000
So the scorpion rides on the frog's back and halfway across the water, he stings him.
02:03:35.000
And the scorpion's like, sorry, it's in my nature.
02:03:38.000
Damn, what kind of childhood stories did you have?
02:03:42.000
They also use it in connection with when he stings him and the guy...
02:03:48.000
You guys are 50. I don't know the scorpion and the frog.
02:03:53.000
Well, the little red riding hood once upon a time when you put your food in a basket, you sent your children in the woods and you legitimately had to worry about them getting eaten by wolves.
02:04:08.000
These motherfuckers want wolves everywhere.
1.00
02:04:21.000
Definitely, for sure, because the person inside the house had pretended to be his grandmother.
02:04:26.000
But the reason why they were always wolves, whether it was Little Red Riding Hood or Three Little Pigs, it was always wolves.
02:04:31.000
It's because wolves legitimately ate a lot of fucking people.
02:04:34.000
And people seem to have forgot about that now, where all these assholes are like, we need to bring back the wolf.
02:04:48.000
Wolves are so prey-driven that they will kill whole herds of elk and not eat half the meat.
02:04:55.000
But German fairy tales like Hansel and Gretel, what happens?
02:04:59.000
A lady, an old lady, takes them and she's a witch.
1.00
02:05:02.000
She puts them in a cage and starts feeding them to what?
1.00
02:05:08.000
Moral of the story, don't trust even old ladies.
02:05:13.000
Well, also, let's be honest about like a long time ago, a thousand years ago in rural areas where food was scarce and people had suffered through a lifetime of abuse and chaos and seeing murders and seeing assaults and rape and constant,
02:05:37.000
According to Steve Rinella, like in this country...
02:05:40.000
We were talking about the other day with the Native Americans, the Nez Perce.
1.00
02:05:43.000
Steve Rinella has the best Native American stories.
02:05:49.000
I mean, I don't think he would call himself that, but he's incredibly knowledgeable about Native American history and what the Nez Perce Indians did in the...
02:06:09.000
What if that all was like, yeah, we got this from an Indian.
0.86
02:06:12.000
They were cannibals, so we have to kill them all.
1.00
02:06:17.000
By the way, any problem might be onto something.
02:06:34.000
Hey, the most violent people arguably could be white people.
0.55
02:06:39.000
Well, I think also, like, when you're dealing with people in the Great Lakes states...
02:06:42.000
Speaking of white people, fucking white people.
02:06:48.000
But, you know, those people are living in a horrible, horrible climate.
02:06:53.000
Like, the Great Lakes before the invention of heat...
02:07:02.000
Like, you know, we know about the Donner Party in Colorado.
02:07:06.000
That shit probably happened all the time in the Great Lakes.
02:07:10.000
You're talking about 15 below zero recently, right?
02:07:20.000
I just say, listen, worst case scenario, I'm eating someone's asshole.
0.91
02:07:36.000
Because that's what the raccoons and the squirrels go after first.
02:07:50.000
Yeah, there was a guy who did this whole documentary where he lived with wolves and he lived amongst them and he had to fake a kill.
02:08:00.000
He would have a kill there and he would pack a liver inside of it and he would pull the liver out and eat it in front of them.
02:08:06.000
And he had to eat it in front of them and then he would let them eat.
02:08:16.000
He had a farm nearby that was having problems with wolves and this guy was a wolf scientist and so he would go there with these big gigantic speakers that play wolf sounds because he had to scare off this one pack of wolves with a new pack of wolves that invaded Yes.
02:08:31.000
And he had to make it scary enough so these wolves backed off.
02:08:51.000
And to avoid being killed, which is standard...
02:08:55.000
Like a wolf would challenge and they would fight to the death and the new alpha would kill or try to kill the old alpha.
02:09:01.000
There was a human involved in all that fucking shit with the wolves.
02:09:15.000
They don't understand that he's unusual because they've been with him since they were a baby.
02:09:25.000
And this guy lives in the wildlife preserve with these wolves.
02:09:30.000
So they've been with him since he was, you know, like four or five years ago.
02:09:34.000
But they're fucking grown, dangerous-ass wolves now.
02:09:48.000
Originally, I thought you were saying some guy came in and said, check this out, I'm going to fix this wolf problem.
0.60
02:09:56.000
Aubrey mentioned to me some dude who was living with the grizzly bears.
02:10:19.000
And he was like, they're real aggressive today.
02:10:21.000
And then the thing he ate his asshole, like, the next day.
0.75
02:10:24.000
Well, there was one bear that they used on a movie.
02:10:33.000
The guy was just standing there doing, like, they were doing some sort of drill together.
02:10:37.000
And the bear just decided to tear his throat apart.
02:10:39.000
But of course, bears are gonna do bear shit.
0.99
02:10:48.000
He said, well, bears will warn you about three minutes before.
02:10:51.000
If they're having a bad day, you've got to step off.
02:10:55.000
When a grizzly starts clicking his jaw, it's time for you to stop training.
02:11:10.000
The scientist was a younger guy, but this is another guy that does the same thing.
02:11:14.000
Yeah, I think that guy's living with wild wolves.
02:11:24.000
This guy's name is Werner Frund or something like that.
02:11:27.000
It was a different guy, and I'm really pretty positive it was a younger guy.
02:11:37.000
They have a really sophisticated social system.
02:11:49.000
Did you end up seeing Making a Murderer and all that?
02:11:57.000
If you talk shit to me, I'll fucking wait, bitch.
1.00
02:12:07.000
Damn, Royce 39. Have you seen that Netflix documentary about India and the Ganges River?
02:12:13.000
Dude, it's called Wild in India, but it's on Netflix.
02:12:23.000
This is the crazy part about it, is all that river comes from the Himalayas, all the ice and the glaciers in the Himalayas.
02:12:32.000
But the part about the Ganges River, it's a magical fucking river.
02:12:58.000
According to this documentary that could be full of shit on Netflix, but they're saying that there's so much sewage goes into there, but it cleanses itself.
02:13:09.000
You can be down the river, people still drink it.
02:13:10.000
Well, it's not true, because my friend jumped in and had an earache for two years.
02:13:19.000
This might be some white-on-white crime right now.
0.60
02:13:27.000
Do you remember that bit I used to have, Eddie, about the guy who got killed in a boat?
02:13:32.000
Yeah, they swam out to the boat and killed these guys individually, one by one, and dragged them back to the shore.
02:13:44.000
That's the only spot on the world where tigers actively hunt humans.
02:13:58.000
Well, they've killed literally hundreds of thousands of people over the last hundred years.
02:14:08.000
Over the last 200 years, I think the number is like 300,000.
02:14:12.000
I quoted the number honestly and realistically in my comedy special.
02:14:18.000
They fucking killed this guy, dragged him to shore, and then jumped back in the water, killed another guy, dragged him to shore, jumped back in the water, killed another guy, dragged him to shore.
02:14:32.000
They can swim faster than five guys can row a boat at full speed.
02:14:36.000
There's a great book called The Man Eaters of Kumon.
02:14:46.000
Rochelt's running from Roy Nelson like he's a tiger right now.
02:14:54.000
You want to talk about a guy who's always been known as a jiu-jitsu guy?
02:14:58.000
Eddie and I knew Roy Nelson back when he was just big country.
02:15:01.000
Everybody called him big country and he was a jiu-jitsu guy.
02:15:13.000
Now, are these guys gonna get a Versace contract?
02:15:17.000
If Versace was fucking smart, they would try to get in on that chubby band dollars.
02:15:25.000
Roy Nelson in a fucking fat suit with a cigar in his hand.
02:15:34.000
I really believe absolutely 100% that he's under-marketed by a lot of companies.
02:15:45.000
But not even as a joke like that, but just like a good company.
02:15:50.000
He has the most knockout bonuses in UFC history for heavyweight.
02:16:08.000
Dude, he knocked out Noguera like he was a fucking paper cutout.
1.00
02:16:26.000
I think Rochelle is an elite wrestler, right?
1.00
02:16:32.000
But heavyweight national champ, it's similar to sumo wrestling.
02:16:37.000
I hate to be shitty about it, but it really is.
02:16:45.000
I'm talking about now with the big old fat boys.
02:16:48.000
Like if Brock Lesnar was around today, is it possible to still have a guy like that?
02:17:04.000
Are we seeing the last of the Viking DNA? Because he has a regular-sized wife.
0.98
02:17:11.000
I'm sure his children would be fucking gigantic.
02:17:37.000
Dude, boy, if you met him in an alley, he's like one of the worst people you could run into for a brief exchange.
02:17:55.000
So when his kids grow to be about 18 years old, we'll start getting nervous again.
02:18:17.000
He was like a shittier looking Czech Congo.
1.00
02:18:35.000
Okay, if you can get, like, Gabby Garcia and Shane Carwin to have a kid.
02:19:09.000
Yeah, there's just a lot of emotional power to both sides combining together in one furious union of athleticism.
02:19:32.000
How ridiculous do we get on this fucking convention?
02:20:06.000
Hey, bitch, don't give the beer watermelon, huh?
1.00
02:20:09.000
Bears can be a lot like dogs if they're, like, really taken care of.
02:20:16.000
Like, people have lived with bears, where they, like, swim with bears.
02:20:18.000
But you've got to be with them from the time they're a baby.
02:20:22.000
And you've got to be able to raise them and give them love so they sort of have to identify with you.
02:20:33.000
It's always a risk because you're dealing with something that like one generation removed was completely wild.
02:20:40.000
Like you could easily have a grizzly bear where the mother grizzly bear had to fight for its life against a mountain lion that was trying to kill its baby.
02:20:49.000
And then here it is, like one generation later, you got the pup and it's living in your house.
02:20:54.000
Tell you right now, I'd rather chill with those grizzly bears than some of those chimpanzees and shit in my house.
02:21:07.000
At least the bears are just gonna rip my throat out.
0.98
02:21:11.000
Yeah, that chimp wants to bust a nut in my ass.
1.00
02:21:14.000
If you're on the verge of suicide, if you want to commit suicide, then that might be a good idea.
02:21:19.000
Since you're gonna kill yourself, why not go fucking live with lions?
02:21:24.000
See what happens, and then if they kill you, whatever, you were gonna kill yourself anyways.
02:21:27.000
That's a guy in South Africa who lives with 21 Lions and wrestles with them and stuff.
0.99
02:21:39.000
Guys, dudes will do whatever they can to separate themselves from the past.
02:21:44.000
Dude, they're scientists that are like, they want to gain data that, like, you gotta be suicidal to go into those motherfucking dens.
02:21:54.000
I'm surprised you're not trying to grapple more.
02:21:55.000
I do that all the time, and I get embarrassed when I go, OH! And something won't land.
02:22:01.000
Like, I'm at the fights, calling the fight, and someone throws a head kick and it doesn't land.
02:22:05.000
But it looks like it's gonna land, but at the last minute it gets away.
02:22:21.000
These guys look like they're completely related.
02:22:24.000
Yeah, well, they're definitely the same species.
02:22:31.000
Good thing he has a beard, because I wouldn't know.
02:22:35.000
Remember when Keith Hackney fought Emmanuel Yarbrough?
02:22:50.000
Rochelle looks like a supermodel version of the mask, right?
1.00
02:23:21.000
That's probably the greatest thing I've ever heard.
02:24:21.000
The guy who directed Powder was a guy who was like, There was some controversy about some alleged child molestation charges, which made Powder a really weird movie.
02:24:33.000
Because Powder was kind of like a Nambla love story to a lot of people.
0.72
02:25:01.000
Barry Crimmins was the one we were talking about it, I believe.
02:25:06.000
He was talking about AOL. Barry Crimmins was talking about AOL, how child molesters were selling things to AOL, but Barry Crimmins did comment about that guy on a...
02:25:22.000
There was a big article that was about it, I want to say, like, two years ago.
02:25:27.000
But, yeah, Barry, of course, if you don't know who Barry Crimmins is, he's a Boston comedy legend, and he had a Bobcat Goldthwait do a documentary called Call Me Lucky, and it's about him getting molested when he was a kid.
02:25:42.000
He was four years old, and his babysitter's boyfriend would fuck him.
02:25:56.000
Victor Salva loves terrorizing semi-naked youths.
02:26:16.000
Take your pants off, move around, and I might kick you.
1.00
02:26:32.000
Well, he has a loss on his record that I think is one of the most unfair stand-ups ever.
02:26:48.000
Camorra's an interesting move because Marcelo Garcia doesn't like to do it because he thinks it's a strong man move.
02:26:56.000
He's all about whatever he does has to work on everybody.
02:27:03.000
But he doesn't believe in any kind of chokes with Armin, like arm triangles or AK side choke or Darces or Japanese necktie.
02:27:15.000
I totally understand that, hey, shit, if you only focus, you take that time, everybody has the same amount of time to drill.
02:27:27.000
Everyone has the same motherfucking time generally.
02:27:29.000
What are you gonna do with that block every day when you break it all down?
02:27:34.000
If you say, why don't you save all that time for shit that works on the big guys?
02:27:40.000
If it works on the big guys, it's gonna work on the small guys.
02:27:44.000
There's nothing wrong with that at motherfucking all.
02:27:49.000
Me personally, I like working on everything that works on guys that Have, like, 15 pounds on you.
02:27:59.000
Because you're gonna be rolling a lot with guys that are your size, and maybe, as long as it works on guys that have a little weight on you, I'm into those moves.
02:28:08.000
If it works on a guy that's around your size at a high level, I want that move in my character.
02:28:21.000
But there's a difference between arm and chokes, like Darces, Japanese neckties, arm and guillotines, and then straight neck chokes, like Marcella teens, and all these weird little fucking things like Rothwell on Barnett.
02:28:34.000
There's about 23 motherfucking ways to squeeze a neck.
02:28:46.000
Just because you're good at one of the 23 has nothing to do with are you good at this one or are you good at that one.
02:28:52.000
You gotta spend the same amount of time on that shit.
02:28:55.000
It might give you a little boost if you're really good at this one.
02:28:58.000
Then you'll get really good at this one quicker than a guy who's not good at that one.
02:29:02.000
But, generally, you gotta spend time in all these chokes to master them.
1.00
02:29:09.000
There was one choke that I saw only once in the UFC. It was a choke, like, almost similar to a go-go plata by a kid who was a Tiger Showman student.
02:29:21.000
He had some crazy choke and he said that he invented it while it was going on.
02:29:32.000
I know what I'm talking about, but I couldn't show you.
02:29:35.000
Guys show me techniques all the goddamn time and I'm like, shit, I should have videotaped that because that shit's gone.
02:29:50.000
Let's see if you can find the submission, because it was some weird leg submission.
0.66
02:29:54.000
Well, I remember it had something to do with a shin across the neck.
02:30:02.000
It was some weird choke that had to do with some weird omoplata-type setup, and he wound up in some position with his shin underneath this guy's neck in an unconventional way that I don't necessarily remember.
02:30:15.000
But I remember saying, have you done that before?
02:30:16.000
And he said, that was the first time he ever did it.
02:30:23.000
Is there a huge difference between really good guys now and 10 years ago?
02:30:29.000
That's like saying, is there a difference in stand-up comedy now, in general, as in the 80s?
02:30:51.000
He throws the leg over the neck, and then he shoots under like this, and he grabs his ankle.
02:31:05.000
He came up with this on the fly in the UFC. Damn.
02:31:21.000
I got a guy whose style is based off that control.
02:31:31.000
Tiger Shulman, for a lot of people who don't know, those guys were a giant karate chain.
02:31:39.000
They didn't think of them as legit, necessarily, because they thought, well, most giant karate schools aren't legit.
02:31:48.000
I mean, think Uriah Hall, this fucking kid, Nick Pace came from there.
02:31:52.000
That guy who won last, Frankie Rivera, the guy who won last week against Yuri Alcantara, he's from there.
02:32:02.000
There's a lot of fucking really high-level guys from Tiger Shulman's.
02:32:06.000
Tiger Shulman, Uriah Hall is, look, his kickbox, or his stand-up is ridiculous.
02:32:13.000
That spinning back kick to the face that he caught Gegard with, he's nasty.
02:32:20.000
They're one of the few big name schools that was a whole chain that became a real legit gym.
02:32:35.000
But Tiger Schulman's was a straight, dominant karate chain.
02:32:51.000
The other way to look at it also is that you have that big a school, there are always going to be some superstars who are going to come through.
02:32:59.000
They evolved when most other martial arts, most other traditional martial arts associations didn't evolve.
02:33:11.000
Traditional martial arts associations are not into evolving because the people at the top, they're fucking lazy.
02:33:20.000
Because they would have to learn all this new shit.
02:33:23.000
Who gets on top of a top row, pulls his shirt up, and rubs his belly?
02:33:44.000
We spent 20 minutes on Alan Juban and you're going to talk about Stipe.
02:33:53.000
This has been one of the least fight-heavy fight companions ever.
02:33:59.000
By the way, Conor McGregor is bigger than Dos Anjos.
02:34:23.000
How about Dana saying that Conor has no chance?
02:34:30.000
Okay, because that's what it says in the underground.
02:34:34.000
I think what he said was, I have a hard time seeing Conor win this fight.
02:34:44.000
Listen, man, you cannot neglect the skills of Dos Anjos.
02:34:50.000
When I look at Dos Anjos, I look at a fucking beast, man.
02:34:55.000
The way he put away Benson Henderson, the way he put away Donald Cerrone, the way he beat the fuck out of Sergio Pettis, or excuse me, Anthony Pettis, he's something special, man.
02:35:04.000
Dude, I can't think of a worse matchup for Conor, but Conor, you talk to Conor, he thinks that it's a legit, he goes, ah, he's just like Jose Aldo, but shittier version.
02:35:12.000
Do you think he's really trying to start his own promotion?
02:35:22.000
He's actually saying, Did he actually say he's going to start his own promotion?
02:35:26.000
Listen, man, if I was Conor McGregor, why would I work for the UFC after a while?
02:35:30.000
I would go, I'm just going to do the Conor McGregor show.
02:35:32.000
Take that shit in the road with all the best concert promoters.
02:35:38.000
I would imagine if Conor McGregor has a contract that would allow him at a certain time to no longer be with the UFC, he could do whatever the fuck he wants.
02:35:48.000
How dare you ghost those last two fights on that main event?
02:36:00.000
What I'm saying about Conor is that Conor is a fucking legit superstar.
02:36:09.000
The promotion, the management, the way it's all set up, the way the marketing is on point, it's on another level.
02:36:16.000
If you go to some other organization, good luck running a smooth ship.
02:36:22.000
What happened to Elite XC? What happened to Strikeforce?
02:36:27.000
Conor McGregor would be unknown to the world in Ireland training in a boxing gym if it wasn't for the UFC. I agree 100%.
02:36:44.000
They're not mutually exclusive in their amount of success that was dependent upon their actions.
02:36:56.000
If there was never a Conor, the UFC would be just as big.
02:37:01.000
If you want to be as big as what that guy is, you need a Conor McGregor.
02:37:10.000
I've always been fucking fascinated with Conor.
02:37:16.000
Because I think the UFC today is bigger than it's ever been.
02:37:19.000
Oh, you're saying a young GSP? A young GSP today, if he was a champion, goddammit, girls would be...
1.00
02:37:25.000
Fucking damp panties would be filling up 100,000 seat arenas.
1.00
02:37:32.000
GSP was in his prime when he beat BJ Penn for defending his title.
02:37:43.000
I don't know how many more people watch it now than then, but as far as being well-known, it's way more well-known.
02:38:00.000
He's sitting there and fucking on Hilo, chilling the volcanoes outside the fucking window.
02:38:11.000
I mean, he did the best fucking thing possible.
02:38:13.000
I mean, he could have went to AKA, he could have went to Tristar, all that shit.
02:38:16.000
But he decided to go to one of the top fucking schools.
02:38:27.000
Like, Eric Del Fiero, down at the Lions, that's a best choice.
02:38:31.000
You've got Firas Zahabi, who is probably my first choice, or one of them.
02:38:53.000
Matt Hume and Farras, a hobby, to me, are commensurate.
02:39:06.000
But Feras is nasty on the ground, and he's a super genius.
02:39:09.000
When it comes to his analytical mind, the way he breaks down fights, he breaks down street fights.
02:39:15.000
Yeah, he breaks down how this guy came at a guy, and he cracked this guy with a left hook, and he explains the footwork, and draws it in a diagram.
02:39:24.000
He's younger, and he's been through it like he came up with everyone.
02:39:29.000
He just put out a video where he's testing guard work and ground and pound on guards.
02:39:43.000
Gary Toten and I think Gordon Ryan, they had some dude jump with boxing gloves, jump in their guard and start pounding them.
02:39:52.000
And in the video, the guys on the bottom, whether it was Faraz, Gary Toten, or I think it was Gordon, I don't fucking know who that third guy was.
02:40:01.000
But they were just wrecking the guy on top with leg locks, just a bunch of different things.
02:40:05.000
It was like a revolutionary experimentation, one of the smartest things you could ever do.
02:40:16.000
He needs to, I think we should add, there's different scenarios in ground and pound.
02:40:25.000
Sometimes a guy's on top, he doesn't want to even be on the ground.
02:40:29.000
So if you're not holding him on the ground, he's going to stand up and back out.
02:40:38.000
For a guy that's on top in your guard, you must have pulled guard because he didn't try to take you down.
02:40:44.000
So as soon as you open your guard, he's going to back out and he's gone.
02:40:51.000
You have the scenario where your opponent is getting beat up on his feet.
02:40:56.000
So he's taking you down at will and you have to deal with a guy who's trying not to let you stand up.
02:41:05.000
Version two of those ground and pound experimentations.
02:41:16.000
But the fact that Feras actually did that, he's already experimenting on what is the best guard for ground and pound.
02:41:32.000
Eddie, you trying to bet on this main event, son?
02:41:38.000
You make a good point, Eddie, and you know what another good point?
02:41:40.000
Ryan Callahan talked about Fabrizio Verdum's guard, and he was like, none of our ground and pound worked on him.
02:41:56.000
I think there's only like five guys who can do that.
02:41:58.000
I mean, that's how high in regard I hold Ferraz the hobby.
02:42:14.000
He honestly set the blueprint for everyone in Denver, like Shane Carwin, myself, Nate McCart, in the blueprint for GSP. He had them doing all this different stuff.
02:42:41.000
No, drilling on the pads, jiu-jitsu movements, starting worst case scenario, where we weren't doing that.
02:42:49.000
I think that's one of the biggest mistakes that people make is too much sparring, even in jiu-jitsu.
02:42:53.000
I was talking to a buddy of mine who's a Purple Belt about this, and he's like, he hurt his hip, and he had to get a hip replacement surgery.
02:43:02.000
And he's a very successful businessman, and he went from there to going back to training again, but...
02:43:11.000
And he's like, man, I'm telling you, just from doing all these drills, my jiu-jitsu has gotten much, much better.
02:43:15.000
Because now he's constantly improving upon his database of positions.
02:43:24.000
You were talking about Henner, like a good Henner Gracie is, like pattern chunking his whole life.
02:43:30.000
Boxing's a series of patterns, and then mixing them all up.
02:43:38.000
Now, Johnny Hendricks beat Tyron Woodley in the NCAA... What are you saying?
02:43:46.000
He doesn't look at all like he had any sort of a weight problem.
02:43:50.000
Or when they weighed in, he was underweight the morning of the weights.
02:44:03.000
And good defense on the ground, too, when he got taken down.
02:44:17.000
I went to interview him, and he decided he wanted to walk away and go see how the guy's feeling after he beat the fuck out of him.
02:44:55.000
I think an ass whoop him would be the same thing.
0.99
02:44:59.000
I have never had any ill dealings with Joe Silva.
02:45:05.000
I do not know what the fuck went down with you and Joe Silva.
02:45:10.000
You bitches need to work that shit out on your own.
1.00
02:45:16.000
Brendan, if you decide in another dimension, you decide to come back and you're going to fucking do it.
02:45:21.000
You're going to come back one more time, you're going to make a comeback.
02:45:23.000
What camp do you join and what is your strategy?
02:45:27.000
It's hard to turn down Muscle Farm with Leaster Bowen right now, but I'd probably go TriStar.
02:45:36.000
Everything's super state-of-the-art and it's got some momentum.
02:45:41.000
Leister, Elliott Marshall, Dwayne Ludwig is in cahoots.
02:45:46.000
There's a lot of other really good striking coaches.
02:45:55.000
Ryan Drexler, the guy who's running it now, he's a student of mine, and he always wanted to...
02:46:02.000
He was very successful in the supplement industry, very, very successful, and his passion was to build an MMA, too.
02:46:12.000
Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go.
02:46:14.000
Clay Guida, that fight with Diego Sanchez and Clay Guida was the craziest fight ever.
02:46:18.000
Hendricks and Thompson is about to start, and we gotta pay attention to this.
02:46:43.000
And here's the thing about Stephen Thompson is that he's been training a lot with Weidman.
02:46:47.000
So his wrestling has gotten a lot better, and he's not worried about being taken down.
02:47:11.000
In an MMA fight, I think the wrestling's hard to deal with.
02:47:15.000
We don't know what the fuck is going to happen.
02:47:17.000
You might be right, but you're saying what's definitely going to happen while it's happening.
02:47:30.000
I see things exactly one second before they happen.
02:47:35.000
Imagine if we did commentary like this, saying what's going to happen while different shit is happening.
02:47:41.000
He's gonna take him down, he's gonna take him down, he's gonna crush him.
02:47:58.000
There's very few guys that can avoid the takedown like him and have these kind of skills.
02:48:02.000
It's a completely different kind of leg dexterity.
02:48:05.000
Dude, he used to fight in that Chuck Norris league.
02:48:08.000
Dude, Johnny Hendrix is in a world of trouble here.
02:48:13.000
Thompson can do some shit that Hendrix has not seen before.
02:48:23.000
He is one of the elites in American kickboxing.
02:48:37.000
If you're looking for Thompson, it's looking excellent.
02:48:45.000
Hendricks is trying to throw that kick and he's getting caught.
02:49:05.000
Dude, Wonderboy might be able to do this to everybody.
02:49:13.000
Well, he's learning how to fucking fight MMA at the same level that he learned to be this elite kickboxer.
02:49:23.000
Remember the World Combat League where they were fighting that bull?
02:49:29.000
I don't know if he fought in the world, but I was a fan of that Chuck Norris kickboxing league.
02:50:26.000
Hey, Conor McGregor, definitely don't try to go up to 70. His movement is karate.
02:50:32.000
I mean, that footwork movement is just like doing all those movement drills with karate, and you see the way he does flips?
02:50:37.000
I guarantee you, McGregor will never say the 70-pound belt is looking good to me.
02:50:57.000
The difference in the level and he nodded at him.
02:51:08.000
This is the former champion who's gone through the best camp of his life.
02:51:13.000
He comes in there motivated and he gets torn apart by a genius.
02:51:25.000
First, that was Machida, but we needed another one.
02:51:39.000
You can do Woodley and him for the fucking title.
02:51:57.000
That's what I'm saying, B. It's hard to take Woodley's title shot away.
02:52:04.000
In a sense of fairness, if we're going to look at a sense of fairness, it's very difficult.
02:52:09.000
But how much would you like to see him versus Damian Myers?
02:52:16.000
If Hendricks can't take him down, Maya's not going to be able to take him down.
0.99
02:52:29.000
I've been predicting the rise of Wonderboy for a while.
02:52:37.000
And since then, he's been dominant and getting better every time.
02:52:42.000
He goes and trains the 185 pound champion who's one of the grittiest fucking wrestlers in the game.
02:52:46.000
He goes to Weidman's camp, Weidman's a bigger guy, and he learns how to survive.
02:52:50.000
Bro, people, a lot of people don't know, Steven Wanderboy Thompson got his start from GSP. GSP was fighting Carlos Condit, brought Wanderboy in, I don't know how they met, brought him in.
02:53:01.000
And then he sent them to Denver to train with Nate, myself, all the guys, and he was just fucking everybody up.
02:53:17.000
Legitimately the nicest, friendliest guy you'd ever want to meet.
02:53:40.000
If this guy came up to you at a club and said he was a fucking badass striker, you'd laugh at him.
02:53:43.000
I'm gonna go to church and get better at fighting.
02:54:17.000
Look at that right kick to the body on the way out.
02:54:54.000
I'll tell you what, Wonderbar Thompson, he put everybody on notice.
02:55:29.000
That's fine, because that just shows his character.
02:55:39.000
He had to fight a fucking monster who strikes, has been striking since he was three years old.
02:55:50.000
He's figured out how to do it where he's gotten so comfortable with it they can get loose.
02:55:57.000
You're forced to stay higher than everybody else.
02:56:09.000
But no one's gonna give you that amount of time.
02:56:13.000
The four people, everyone drinking coffee and talking shit.
02:56:23.000
Well, at the beginning, you guys were talking about fucking all these details, and these guys had never heard of it.
02:56:31.000
I was trying to give you props for your wine skills.
02:56:42.000
You know as much about wine as my business manager who's got a fucking wine cellar in his house.
02:56:50.000
I'll sit in a wine store and talk to the guy for hours.
02:57:26.000
He was the one I was talking about before, when I was talking about my friend who injured his hip.
02:57:52.000
And he called me up because I had that Primal guy on, Mark Sisson, and he got a lot of things right, but apparently when he was talking about wine, Maynard was like...
02:58:06.000
Yeah, he's like, we don't use 87 different chemicals.
02:58:08.000
He's like, we use some natural shit like yeast.
02:58:13.000
It's remarkably simple when you see how they make wine a lot of times.
02:58:29.000
Dude, he just fucked up the number two welterweight in the world.
02:58:38.000
Dude, we might be looking at the champion right there.
02:58:53.000
You might be right, but I believe there's a difference in the amount of danger that Robbie Lawler will put himself in versus the amount of danger that Johnny Hendricks will put himself in.
02:59:01.000
I'm just saying the amount of danger he'll put himself in trying to hit him.
02:59:06.000
Robbie Lawler will take some crazy-ass fucking chances and do some explosive, ridiculously aggressive shit.
02:59:14.000
He might not land it, but dude, he knocked Melvin Manhoof...
02:59:20.000
It was a fight where Manhoof was teeing off on him.
02:59:29.000
And then he just tucked his head and threw him right.
02:59:34.000
But I think that Tyron Woodley still has a real good argument that he deserves the title shot.
02:59:39.000
Even though he's not as impressive as this guy, because his last fight he won by injury.
02:59:50.000
That's a tough argument, especially as far as markability right now.
02:59:53.000
No, I'm just saying that he was supposed to be fighting Johnny Hendricks for the number one title shot.
02:59:56.000
Johnny Hendricks had to pull out because he didn't make weight, and essentially Tyron was promised a title shot.
03:00:03.000
I don't think it's a bad thing if Wonderboy waits out and knocks somebody else off.
03:00:08.000
Because I'm telling you, a performance like this is like some superstar emerging shit.
03:00:18.000
Look at that spinning back kick to the arm.
0.74
03:00:21.000
It's like getting hit by a fucking bat in your arms.
03:00:29.000
A guy who kicks like him, everything he's doing is perfect.
03:00:34.000
This is a direct example of what we were talking about when we were going over the technique of the kick.
03:00:47.000
And sees what you're doing before you do it, right?
03:00:50.000
See, oh, you're going to throw a right, and let me just move a little bit back, ba-bang!
03:00:54.000
Dude, the way he landed that right kick to the body, that right kick to the body in that exchange before, it was extraordinary because he knows he's on the way out, but he also knows where Hendrick's left arm is, and he sneaks that right kick right under it as he's sliding backwards, which very few people are going to be able to do.
03:01:13.000
No matter what you do in martial arts, like I said before, we all have a certain amount of time to drill.
03:01:18.000
So whatever the kung fu, the karate guys, whatever they were doing during the dark ages when we thought it didn't work, whatever they were doing, they were getting really good at it at that range and getting fucking the best at that range.
03:01:38.000
But now we've gotten to the point where they spent all that time in that range and now they added and supplemented wrestling so they can stay in that range.
03:01:50.000
The range that nobody else spent that much time in that range.
03:01:53.000
But they got the wrestling and the surrounding.
0.79
03:01:55.000
They can stay in that range that they rule in during the dark ages when everyone thought that didn't work.
03:02:02.000
Now it fucking works because I got all that shit to supplement.
03:02:13.000
We have to end this podcast on that, because we're literally out of time.
03:02:20.000
Yeah, we slightly went over three hours, so most of this is gone.
03:02:28.000
No, you were great, because you were like, no, because when it gets dark...
