00:01:10.000But one of the reasons why he was a little off is because, you know, Garrett tagged him a couple times in that first round with clean shots.
00:03:22.000It says 4.43 right there when I said that.
00:03:25.000That's what it says as far as the time if you want to sync up because there's a bit of a difference between the fights and the live broadcast that we're doing.
00:03:34.000There's like a 15-second delay, something like that.
00:03:36.000Look for me to make a lot of comments in this fight companion, guys.0.99
00:03:41.000John Lineker, that dude with the red shorts, he's a fucking beast.0.97
00:03:44.000He's one of the hardest hitting flyweights in the world.0.99
00:03:47.000The guy cracks, but can't make the weight.0.99
00:03:50.000Keeps fucking up and missing his weight.0.99
00:09:33.000Like, we were talking before the podcast about Amal Easton taught me a variation on the guillotine that was really good for the defense, which is to go over the top or the back.
00:09:42.000But also, there's just little variation in the way you hold it made the bone of the arm dig into the neck.
00:09:48.000And just that one little thing was like...1.00
00:09:52.000But when you're looking at it, it almost looks the same.1.00
00:09:54.000Like when someone shows it to you, they're just showing you one little tiny tweak, but that tiny tweak has a huge impact.
00:10:01.000You know, with wrestling, it's interesting because when the wall was up with the Soviet Union and East Germany, When they would meet, they had their own technique and the West had their own techniques.
00:10:12.000And they would watch tape on each other, but they couldn't figure out really what they were doing, right?
00:10:19.000When the wall came down and all those Eastern Europeans started coming over to the United States and wrestling with those guys, wrestling changed dramatically.0.99
00:10:35.000The little differences, like you're talking about, on how one guy would shoot a double leg or where he was holding on the knee and stuff like that made a huge difference.0.98
00:10:43.000I'll tell you who didn't give a shit about techniques.0.97
00:10:45.000You could show him whatever he did worked.0.99
00:11:27.000Shane took me under his wing and paid for my private training, but in exchange, I was the only one who would spar with him.
00:11:35.000One day, and I don't I'm not going to go put his personal business out there, but one day he was going through some rough times at home.0.85
00:11:42.000Shano is stressed out, and he's 300 pounds, and work's kicking his ass, and he's very, very stressed out, and he's having girl problems.0.99
00:11:49.000So I show up to spar, and this motherfucker is there super early.1.00
00:15:35.000Me and Shane were like rock'em, sock'em robots, which is why I stutter now.
00:15:40.000Every round, every round, it would give us the 30-second marker.
00:15:44.000No matter what we're doing on the ground, wrestling, whatever, we'd both get up, go to the center of the octagon, hit gloves, and sit there and punch each other in the face.
00:15:54.000I wish Trevor would be like, hey, Brendan, listen, that's great, but I'm going to do you a solid.
00:18:07.000They don't even know what the fuck.1.00
00:18:09.000They're just sitting there thinking about the bookmaker who's going to win the fucking Yankee game because that's how they're going to bounce back on Sunday.1.00
00:18:47.000Towards the end, when we have that thing where we sit down and we start breaking down the fights in the main card, that's when he comes out.
00:23:26.000And me and Frank were talking about in the back, and I was like, that right hand, man, I go in the locker room with that fucking right hand.0.99
00:23:31.000He goes, bro, I got cut the exact same way you did.0.97
00:23:33.000He goes, but your natural instinct was sit there and swing.0.99
00:23:36.000My body just took over, and I fucking went in, man.0.96
00:23:39.000Meanwhile, that was like the most devastating turnaround, and then...0.99
00:24:48.000Because I didn't want Brock to come from WWE playing grab ass, making all this money, and just stroll over and just destroy catch, which is what he was basically doing.0.85
00:24:57.000You were cheering for him when he got him in that ankle lock?0.87
00:25:43.000One of my favorite guys, bro, if I'm Frank Mir and I got those nasty leg locks and all this shit, and I'm fighting Daniel Cormier, Josh Barnett, whoever, even though Josh is a beast on the ground, I'm jumping to half guard, son.0.99
00:25:57.000Listen, if you're fighting Frank Mir and you're not a leg lock specialist, and you're like, oh, I got three months to get ready for it, dude, just do what you do.1.00
00:26:07.000Forget about the fucking leg locks.0.99
00:26:08.000If you get to hold him, you're in trouble.1.00
00:26:14.000You don't think everyone he trains with knows basic?0.97
00:26:16.000If you're Frank Merritt's training partner, you're like, yeah, I know some shit on the ground with my legs because I train with Frank.0.81
00:26:22.000And he's still adapting that and catching him.
00:26:24.000So then you go into the fight, and you get caught in this complex anchor lock, and you're defended with the first basic defense, because you're not very versed on him.
00:26:33.000But isn't that assuming that you're really deeply caught, though?
00:26:35.000There's a lot of the defenses catching it before it ever gets bad.
00:27:27.000Hired someone who was on the team with Ronda, or they were in the same circle, to brought her in, and she was like, yeah, if you pay me, I'll help you out.
00:27:34.000This is how you defend Ronda's armbar.
00:29:28.000Are you fucking crazy, Atlantic City?1.00
00:29:31.000The best fight in that fucking card is the one after the fucking UFC fight on the boardwalk.1.00
00:29:36.000Get the fuck out of here, UFC. Hey, what do you think about this possibility that Gina Carano might sign or that Holly Holm is going to fight her next?0.99
00:29:45.000Holly Holm's not going to fight her next.1.00
00:29:46.000Holly Holm said she wants a couple more fights before she takes on Rondo.0.94
00:35:40.000It's about them putting together a career and getting to a position where they can actually challenge her and not just jumping right into the lion's mouth.
00:38:14.000I'm like, oh, it didn't go through.0.99
00:38:15.000For instance, August 1st, I'm going to be at the Ace Theater in downtown LA with Joey and Duncan, and we've been tweeting that shit for weeks.0.98
00:44:06.000If you were going to die and you had a long career behind you, your kids are all full grown, everybody's healthy, and you had this idea that when you died, you're going to be like a...
00:44:43.000And the kids, they're having a hard time because everybody knows that they're in line to inherit that money.
00:44:51.000Can you imagine you have that whole giant group of people, whoever has a vested interest in that, just hovering over that honeypot that is the Michael Jackson estate and seeing his kids.
00:45:02.000His kids are going to get massive dinero.
00:48:37.000I had two weeks worth, but then within three, four weeks afterwards, it felt good right away, but better over time as the anti-inflammation aspect of that blood serum slowly but surely brought down any injury that I had.
00:48:55.000And then within months, it felt way better.
00:50:54.000He dropped him, got him on the ground, kneed him in the face, and then beat him down while he was on the ground until everybody pulled him off.1.00
00:53:03.000Arnold Schwarzenegger pales in comparison.
00:53:06.000Because Schwarzenegger was really good, but he was still Arnold, and he had the hair, and he had the beautiful muscles, it was very thick and vascular.
00:53:14.000I read every Conan book, every Conan book, man.
00:56:03.000Well, he's calm as fuck when he gets in there, man.0.99
00:56:05.000I'll tell you what, when he was fighting Jake Ellenberger, I've never seen a dude legitimately smile because he was having a good time the way I've seen Robbie.0.94
01:00:18.000Knee shit sucks, but you can get an ACL reconstructed and a year later you're good to go.1.00
01:00:23.000Once your fucking spine starts giving out in certain spots...1.00
01:00:27.000You do rehab, you strengthen it up, but the problem with a lot of these guys is, look, I've had a chance to take, obviously I'm older so I don't recover as quickly, but I've had a chance to take a full year off of jiu-jitsu.0.99
01:00:41.000But, during that time, I did nothing but strength and conditioning, nothing but kettlebells, nothing but...
01:00:47.000Like, no yanking on my neck, no nothing, so now, like, everything is healed up strong, and everything's really good.
01:00:53.000But most guys who are fighting don't have that opportunity, man.0.96
01:00:56.000They're back in the gym a couple months later, and you're gonna have to work through some shit.0.95
01:01:01.000Like, I talked to Matt Serra after Matt Serra fucked up his back before he had a rematch with GSP. I go, what did you do about your back?0.98
01:01:07.000Because you fucked your back up pretty bad.0.99
01:01:09.000He's like, bro, I couldn't fucking move.1.00
01:01:11.000He was talking about holding on to his back.0.96
01:01:13.000It was at the end of training, he was demonstrating a move, and then something just gave out, and he was just in insane, extreme agony.
01:03:07.000No, you've got to take that surgery to open up the area where the nerves are.
01:03:11.000What they do is they go into your column where the nerves are and they open it up so that your nerves have more room, so they're not impinged upon.
01:08:37.000Remember, he's supposed to fight Nate Markhart and then Nate, whatever, didn't get cleared because of supplement issues, testosterone issues.
01:08:44.000So then they put in Charlie Brenneman and then Story had all that hype before that and Charlie Brenneman goes in there and beats him.
01:08:52.000When it's the day of the fight, and they change your opponent, and you're the main fight of the night, and you've been preparing for this dude who's a wicked striker, and you think you're going to be doing some striking, and then all of a sudden Brenneman is going for ankle picks and fucking hanging on your legs, and you're just not prepared for that.
01:09:20.000Well, not only that, if you're a guy like Rick Story and you're favored above Charlie Brenneman, you're supposed to think you're going to win that fight anyway, right?
01:09:28.000He just was not prepared for that style, which shows you how important game planning is for specific fighters when it comes to specific opponents.
01:09:36.000He's training for a guy like Marquardt, and you better best believe that back when he was training for Marquardt, everybody was scared of Marquardt.0.99
01:09:45.000Marquardt was a motherfucker then, and he was a motherfucker at 185. Even though he lost to Chael Sonnen, he was still throwing bombs from his back, throwing elbows, and still dangerous to the very end.0.98
01:10:45.000I mean, he did it with Woodley, but man...
01:10:48.000He fought at 185 for so long, and he was really good at that weight.
01:10:51.000He's always going to have a hard time with the wrestlers.
01:10:54.000When you get an elite-level wrestler, like a guy like Chael, they can put you on your back.
01:10:58.000Yeah, that Chael fight, he just went in with a horrible game plan.
01:11:01.000He was doing something the entire camp, then the day of, a certain coach told him to do something, and there was this flying knee, and you need to land power shots, so that's why he was getting taken down.
01:11:11.000I wonder if Cheo would tell everybody, if he got popped with EPO, I want to know how long you've been taking that stuff for.
01:11:20.000He'd probably tell you, that was the first time I ever tried it.
01:14:12.000You know, all that toughness training idea that people had in their head, they're just over-training motherfuckers.1.00
01:14:17.000Just over-training motherfuckers, breaking joints, fucking up backs, messing up necks.0.99
01:14:23.000A lot of the injuries didn't have to take place.0.99
01:14:25.000It's amazing how even after, I read the book The Punch.
01:14:29.000The Punch is about when the guy punched Rudy Tomjanovich in basketball in 1978. After that punch, road teams, you're not allowed to play no more than two basketball road teams a week.
01:14:47.000So one thing they stopped after that punch was no more, because they explained in the book, what people don't know is in those days they flew commercial.
01:15:07.000So it's little things like that that make adjustments.
01:15:10.000But in MMA, going through a training camp, people ask this, well, what if some freak, what if Vernon Davis, who's just this freak tied in for the 49ers, what if he decided to do MMA? He's such a good athlete.
01:15:22.000Man, I'm telling you, when you're going through an eight-week camp and you're doing two days and three days for eight weeks, no one's signing up for that, man.
01:15:33.000Yeah, and the difference between getting hit and not getting hit are so gigantic.0.99
01:15:38.000The difference between being an athlete where you never get hit by anything, and then being an athlete where another man is beating your ass.0.99
01:15:45.000Not only that, and you're going to get your ass beat in training.1.00
01:15:48.000Everyone's getting their ass beat.0.99
01:15:49.000Listen, if you're at a high level, you're not going playing grab ass in Orange County at the beach in Newport with some rich dudes.1.00
01:15:57.000You're looking for the baddest guys in the world, and you're saying, I want you to try and whip my ass.1.00
01:17:34.000If you don't put them on a CD or a DVD or something, you still have them laying around, but you never put them on anything, that becomes a real problem.
01:17:41.000You don't know what to do with them.0.98
01:17:42.000Like, what am I going to do with these fucking bits?0.99
01:19:52.000For the last month, he's just been flying into cities, going into that baddest radio station and saying, what do you motherfuckers want to do tonight?0.99
01:20:01.000And then just setting up a show somewhere?0.99
01:33:45.000The ability to go up there and get into a cage and duke it out with some dude, to the average person, they're not going to understand you.1.00
01:33:52.000So when you start telling crazy stories, they're not going to know who is this fucking guy.0.97
01:34:09.000Because he's a savage and he loves fellow savages.0.67
01:34:13.000You run into a dude that is living a life like yours.0.99
01:34:17.000If you're some cat that's like a doctor or a lawyer or tries to keep it on the up and up all day, they're not going to know what the fuck to do with you.0.93
01:34:26.000Well, a lot of comics are the same way, man.1.00
01:34:27.000Plus, they tell you some stupid-ass stories.1.00
01:34:33.000I mean, I keep it together as much as possible, but I know a lot of comedians are just maniacs.0.98
01:34:40.000And you hear about them doing something crazy...0.52
01:34:41.000And you're like, yeah, I saw that coming.0.99
01:34:43.000So when you hear about a guy like Cat Williams, he's funny as fuck, just getting arrested all over the place and doing nutty shit, screaming at an audience.1.00
01:34:50.000You're like, yeah, he's got a fucking engine in there, man.1.00
01:35:20.000Over the last few years of my life, I've learned how to really, really relax and just shut my phone off, don't answer any emails, don't look at my, you know, I don't do anything.
01:36:12.000Yeah, there's no way around that, man.
01:36:15.000If you want to get great at something, you have to have madness.0.90
01:36:18.000And the only way you're ever really going to appreciate a significant growth moment in your life, like a big loss where you just really felt like shit, you've got to feel that pain.0.95
01:36:28.000You've got to feel that pain so it motivates a change.0.84
01:36:30.000You've got to feel that pain so that you up your training.0.98
01:38:23.000I guess this is the Stallone production.1.00
01:38:25.000He can do whatever the fuck he wants.0.99
01:38:26.000Yeah, they film it in Bulgaria because you don't have to pay the same amount of taxes and you don't have to get permits to blow shit up.0.99
01:38:33.000So he does it in Bulgaria because they're just like, cool dog, blow up whatever you want.1.00
01:39:40.000He did that every time, yeah, every time.1.00
01:39:42.000It has to be for some reason, because, you know, these chicken heads are going to keep it and then post and say, no, look at this, we were here, and then he raped me or whatever the bullshit.1.00
01:42:40.000Brian was talking about this guy, Aubrey de Grey, that he interviewed recently, who's an anti-aging specialist.0.92
01:42:46.000If they do figure out a way to reverse aging, what the fuck would they do if all of a sudden Randy Couture looked like he was 30 years old again and he's inside the octagon?0.99
01:46:38.000If a guy has a tie on and you slip your hand around that knot so it's not going to change, so it's not going to slip in or out, you're controlling that knot and then you start cranking and you get side control on this motherfucker and you start cranking on that knot, he's a dead man.0.99
01:46:54.000If you decide he's dead, he's dead.0.99
01:47:15.000But if you teach somebody, you know this one where you reach back with the hand like the karate chop and you grab the back of the neck and then you do this one right here.
01:48:00.000You're going to have a Fight Pass app that's going to be on your television or just whatever, and you're going to be able to watch shit live.0.98
01:48:05.000Well, that's like Apple TV, right?0.96
01:50:10.000I mean, if these two grappled, if it was just a straight, like, Metamorse or something like that, or in Worlds, Jim Miller would, I think, kind of own Cerrone on the ground.
01:50:25.000However, in the UFC, Donald has these couple of moves where you just can't duplicate in practice, and by the time you realize your continent's too late.
01:50:33.000How do you think this fight goes down?
01:51:00.000And I think that Donald, when he's on, and he's been on a lot lately, he seems to me like a dude who's turned the corner.
01:51:07.000Like he realizes that he might have had some lapses in his career where he didn't fight at his best.
01:51:13.000Donald's also a guy who is a wild...0.99
01:51:16.000When I talk about not being able to rest, not being able to turn it off, you're talking about Donald who's wrestling freaking Jaguars and shit and jumping off mountains and driving Harley Davidsons into walls and shit.1.00
01:54:13.000It's going to be interesting to see what the difference is in his performance now that they're telling him he can't take testosterone anymore.
01:55:10.000These motherfuckers are firing up.1.00
01:55:12.000Isn't it funny that they put Vaseline all over your face and then you grapple and your head goes to a guy's chest and then your shoulders go to the guy's chest and then you got Vaseline on your shoulders and then you both are scrambled on the ground so his back and your back and everybody's covered in Vaseline.1.00
01:55:37.000Phil Nurse was rubbing it on GSP's chest and pretending like, oh, we're doing voodoo on him.1.00
01:55:43.000Bitch, you're putting Vaseline on him.1.00
01:55:45.000You just put Vaseline on his face and now you're coming up with some reason why you need to do circles around his chest with your greasy ass hand?1.00
01:55:54.000Because GSP was seeing this dude who called himself the witch doctor, and he had all these weird things.0.99
01:55:58.000He'd line your chakras, and they would rub the chest and touch the back of your head, and all this goofy shit.0.99
02:14:17.000It's a true, you know, confidence is, you know, what I've found out lately at the age of 50 is, Jesus fucking, I wish somebody told me at 26 is, Guess what, guys?0.87
02:14:53.000I mean, it's about recognizing moments.
02:14:55.000That's what striking is all about, recognizing the correct moment.
02:14:59.000You know, and the more you work on your technique, the more you spar, the more you get your timing down, the more you know how to recognize the correct moment.
02:15:25.000The worst is when you're telling a story and instead of responding to your story and talking about, wow, that was crazy, what were you thinking?
02:20:39.000And then the homeboy of Bodog ran the Bodog betting website and that got shut down.
02:20:44.000Well, not only did he get shut down, but he is like a criminal.
02:20:47.000He can't even come into the country anymore.
02:20:49.000Because he was operating what they deemed to be an illegal gambling site.
02:20:53.000And so, like, Calvin Ayers was like, he had some thing with Dana White, where he invited Dana, said he would pick him up on a private jet and show him his lifestyle.
02:21:06.000You know, because Dana was jealous of him.
02:21:09.000Yeah, this is like when Bodog was competing with the UFC. They're trying to?
02:21:13.000Yeah, way, way, way, way back in the day.0.92
02:21:16.000And Dana was like, dude, you're a criminal.0.92
02:21:18.000You can't even come to this country.0.99
02:21:20.000Yeah, I'm all good to see what you're doing.
02:23:59.000And if you don't know how to fight off your back, if you can't attack off your back, get back up to your feet or stop him from taking you down.
02:24:04.000It's super impressive because you know how hard it is to take someone down?1.00
02:26:17.000If George ever does decide to come back, which who knows if he does, and Anderson is going to come back, Anderson's already throwing kicks.
02:26:31.000I think if that fight does happen, it's going to get marketed as biggest fight ever in UFC history, and everyone's going to be like, damn, Doug.0.99
02:26:51.000For me, it's very important to know what's possible.
02:26:53.000And there's only truly one way to know what's possible.
02:26:56.000You've got to see those guys duke it out.
02:26:58.000You've got to see the best guys duke it out.0.99
02:27:00.000And when a guy is a champion of another organization, like a Bellator champion, and he's been able to do that to everybody over there, and he starts talking a bunch of shit, bring him in!
02:27:09.000The way the UFC works, though, is they're not going to bring him in and have him fight Johnny Hendricks.
02:27:13.000They're going to bring him in and be like, take number seven, Hector Lombard.
02:28:49.000By then, if he gets surgery and then the landscape changes in a year, then maybe he's fighting Glover, maybe he's fighting, you know, who knows who he's fighting.
02:29:00.000Well, it depends on how good his knee is, though, because what if he waits for the title shot and his knee is bunk and it goes out in the first round and he could have just waited an extra six months after that, let somebody else fight, and then fought John with a 100% knee.
02:29:47.000Oh, and Kane, he's going to throw those elbows and that Cordero teaches him all that stuff and the knees, and you want to take him down off that?0.64
02:29:54.000Well, his fight starts once his back hits the ground.
02:29:57.000We're not talking about Junior Dos Santos on the ground, Chet Congo, Bigfoot.1.00
02:30:13.000And I'm saying, alright son, if he's doing what he did to Junior Dos Santos and he puts his forehead in your chest and he's dirty boxing against the cage, if that's going on for a long amount of time, you're jumping to half guard, mixing things up.0.97
02:30:25.000We're not going to stay there and get our ass whipped like Junior Dos Santos did.
02:30:27.000You're going to half guard, you're going to look to sweep, you're going to look for submissions.0.99
02:31:26.000But if you're for Doom, alright man, cool.0.99
02:31:28.000You're starting to get a little tired and getting your ass whipped the first two rounds, dirty boxing against the cage, we're taking this to the ground.0.99
02:31:34.000Because you're not going to sit there for five minutes while he just wears your ass out, and then we're in the fourth round, you're getting TKO'd.0.99
