Summary
Joe Rogan and the boys discuss the dangers of wearing rings to the gym and why you should never wear a ring on the mat ever again. Also, the boys talk about how to get a good grip on your opponent's hand and how to make sure you don't get a bad grip on their hand. Joe also talks about why he wears a wedding ring on his left hand instead of his right and why he likes it that way. Also, they talk about why you shouldn't wear rings on your mat and why it's a good idea not to wear them. Joe also explains why he doesn't like the idea of wearing a ring when he's in a fight and how he thinks it makes him look like a dork. The boys also talk about the benefits of not wearing rings when you're at the gym, and how you should wear them on your wedding ring when you get married. They also talk a little bit about why they don't like it when people try to squeeze your hand when you give them a firm handshake. And of course, there's a special guest...

The Joe Rogan Experience Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day!
00:00:09.000
Gentlemen, we still don't have a name for this.
00:00:25.000
Protect Your Neck is gonna have the Wu-Tang theme song.
00:00:33.000
There's two Wu-Tang songs I always listen to when I'm going to an arena, when I'm doing a show.
00:01:00.000
We're going to pause real quick, see if Jamie can fix this.
00:01:18.000
The three of us have rings on, but they're rubber.
00:01:36.000
You could drop a weight on it or rip your finger off.
00:01:46.000
I think the goofiest looking one is the tattooed ring.
00:01:51.000
It's almost as bad as the bicep with the fucking chain with the, you know, the old school barbed wire.
00:02:18.000
When I get married with the rubber rings, I can just fling it at her.
00:02:29.000
Yeah, I heard about a dude in, God, I forget who's Jim, some big name dude, and he took a photo of one of his students and said, don't ever come onto my mat with a ring on, ever, ever again.
00:02:45.000
I don't remember who posted it, but fuck, man, it's just too dangerous.
00:02:51.000
You basically have a metal wedge on your finger.
00:02:53.000
If you're doing anything heavy, if you're in the outdoors, if you're climbing something, it can just dig right into your meat and rip your fucking finger apart.
00:03:04.000
When I was fighting, when I was champ, I had the...
00:03:06.000
I just got married, I was telling you earlier, and when I had the ring on, this was before they had the rubber rings, you know?
00:03:13.000
And guys get excited to see you, so sometimes you give them the hand, they squeeze your fingers, and it's so much...
00:03:19.000
You're trying to be nice, and I'm just like, give me my hand!
00:03:25.000
It was not that's why you wear a wedding ring on your left hand so you could shake hands with your right Yeah, I mean that's good.
00:03:34.000
That totally makes sense It does especially I hate those douchebags that always try to give you that fucking they have a nice squeeze and They try to break your hand.
00:03:43.000
That gets on my fucking nerves when you squeeze your fingers.
00:03:53.000
I like a firm handshake, but I don't like that finger squeezing bullshit because that's cheating.
00:03:59.000
You know I don't have a good grip, but you're squeezing anyway.
00:04:03.000
A nice person would relax their hand, you slide your position, and you give each other a nice firm handshake.
00:04:11.000
Even that, like when guys try to over, like they got a real strong grip and they try to fucking give you that squeeze.
00:04:17.000
I just feel, especially my right hand, like I got a fucking bump here from Shoney caught his head.
00:04:21.000
I bumped his, I had a hoof after I got done with that second fight.
00:04:26.000
And it's still, like I used to have to double wrap it when I hit with Longo after a while.
00:04:30.000
So when guys squeeze that shit, I feel like, alright dude, alright, you got me beat with the grip, but I'll fucking strangle the fuck out of here.
00:04:39.000
It's like men feel so uncomfortable when they're around a guy like you.
00:04:49.000
There's a cup because it's just regular coffee.
00:04:53.000
Because, like, you know, when they get around a guy like you, they don't know what to do.
00:04:57.000
Because guys always like to pretend that they can beat another guy's ass.
00:05:01.000
Even if they're just posturing, like, I'll fuck that guy up.
00:05:04.000
They meet a guy like you, all of a sudden they're like, Hey, how are you?
00:05:09.000
That's why I'm trying to get over 200. Just so I can posture on them back, you know what I'm saying?
00:05:15.000
Like, if you're meeting Francis Ngannou, how fucking terrifying is that?
00:05:25.000
I remember the first time I interviewed him, I was standing next to him, I'm like, what the fuck, man?
00:05:50.000
Let's watch that, because this guy's good, dude.
00:05:55.000
After a bad KO, you have to think, he fights Anthony Joshua.
00:05:59.000
That was a bad KO from one of the best knockout artists in boxing, right?
00:06:31.000
Like, watch this combination when he lands it on Bader.
00:06:35.000
He's having a hard- this guy's from the outside, son!
00:07:09.000
But Bader and Heavyweight's been doing pretty good.
00:07:29.000
He was always on an Indian reservation somewhere.
00:07:37.000
Bobby Lashley's the only guy I've ever fought in MMA that looked like he'd enter a bodybuilding competition the day of the fight.
00:07:59.000
Was he like a D2 national champ or something like that as a wrestler?
00:08:08.000
But there ain't no way you're testing positive or negative.
00:08:12.000
Yeah, because he wrestled at like 189 in college.
00:08:21.000
This episode is brought to you by The Farmer's Dog.
00:08:27.000
Like, just having Marshall around can make my day ten times better.
00:08:30.000
I'm sure you love your dog just as much, and you want to do your best to help them live longer, healthier, happier lives.
00:08:37.000
And a healthy life for your dog starts with healthy food, just like it does for us.
00:08:42.000
There's a reason having a balanced diet is so important.
00:08:45.000
So how do you know if your dog's food is as healthy and as safe as it can be?
00:08:51.000
Well, Farmer's Dog gives you that peace of mind by making fresh, real food developed by board-certified nutritionists to provide all the nutrients your dog needs.
00:09:02.000
Their food is human-grade, which means it's made to the same quality and safety standards as human food.
00:09:08.000
Very few pet foods are made to this strict standard.
00:09:12.000
And let's be clear, human-grade food doesn't mean the food is fancy.
00:09:17.000
It's simple, real food from people who care about what goes into your dog's body.
00:09:23.000
The Farmer's Dog makes it easy to help your dog live a long, healthy life by sending you fresh food that's pre-portioned just for your dog's needs.
00:09:35.000
From their size, to their personality, to their health, every dog is unique.
00:09:39.000
Plus, precise portions can help keep your dog at an ideal weight, which is one of the proven predictors of a long life.
00:09:47.000
Look, no one, dog or human, should be eating highly processed foods for every meal.
00:09:54.000
It's always a great time to start investing in their health and happiness.
00:10:01.000
You can get 50% off your first box of fresh, healthy food at thefarmersdog.com slash rogan.

00:10:19.000
It's amazing some guys are natural, like Paulo Costa.
00:10:32.000
I didn't think you'd be talking that much shit if you were really just...
00:10:43.000
The guy's got freak genetics just in looks and also in his build.
00:10:55.000
Tell us the secrets that they got over in that fucking...
00:11:02.000
I want to know what the fuck happens over there.
00:11:22.000
He's young, hard-working, and he's on his way up.
00:11:35.000
His fight the other night with Gilbert Burns was fucking smart, man.
00:11:41.000
Because even though he has really, really good wrestling, he knew not to shoot his wad trying to get him down.
00:11:49.000
What I love about Gilbert, and it happened in the Damian Maia fight...
00:11:53.000
If he's getting out-wrestled, the second he hits the floor, right into jiu-jitsu, sweeps, half-guard, he's playing jiu-jitsu, they go to play back, he's back to his feet.
00:12:02.000
Gilbert is one of the very best ever on the ground in MMA. It's like we've just seen him in so many stand-up wars because it's so fucking hard to get people to the ground.
00:12:11.000
Ultimately, that's where it becomes a problem, right?
00:12:14.000
It's just so hard to get a world-class guy to the ground.
00:12:17.000
Well, I mean, so when Hamzat fought Gilbert, Hamzat was on top for a second.
00:12:20.000
And as soon as Gilbert started playing Jiu Jitsu, Hamzat was like, get me the fuck out of here.
00:12:27.000
But that's what's so smart about Brady, though, because he was patient up against the cage.
00:12:38.000
And now he's got a better chance of getting more time on top.
00:12:41.000
If you look at him in comparison, he doesn't have the same accolades as far as jujitsu competitions as Gilbert does, but he's like world class.
00:13:02.000
Yeah, if you're going to compete against that guy, you've got to let him use the whole game.
00:13:09.000
It was pretty stale, but Brady can hang with anybody on the ground.
00:13:16.000
And I firmly believe that Craig Nelson, Craig Jones rather, if Craig Jones got him in any kind of a position, like a heel hook, he would never rip his shit apart.
00:13:28.000
But I understand these UFC fighters, the current fighters.
00:13:33.000
I'm all for these guys taking grappling matches, but I'm also for them taking it with certain rules.
00:13:42.000
Because Khalil Roundtree, before he got the title fight, was in here.
00:13:44.000
He was telling me he was going to take a grappling match.
00:13:50.000
He's gone for nine, ten months, and he's in the 30s.
00:14:01.000
I get you're a badass, but you're also a professional athlete.
00:14:09.000
Cerrone must be the biggest headache for the UFC. He's out there fucking riding poles, jumping jet skis.
00:14:15.000
I don't remember him pulling out of too many fights, though.
00:14:22.000
I mean, there might have been one his whole career, but he had to have a broken fucking leg or something.
00:14:34.000
Same reason why people stick around too long in the game.
00:14:36.000
Yeah, but that's also why he's so much fun to watch, man, because he genuinely didn't give a fuck, you know?
00:14:42.000
In the early days of his career, man, he was very interesting because he was a wild kickboxer that had a great triangle.
00:14:48.000
So he finished off a lot of his early fights with jiu-jitsu.
00:14:55.000
So guys would want to take him down, and then he'd throw up that triangle.
00:14:58.000
His first fight with Benson Henderson was one of the sickest fights ever.
00:15:03.000
He had Benson in a hundred different submissions, and Benson got out all of them.
00:15:13.000
Yeah, it was a great fight when they were in the WEC. Damn, dude.
00:15:17.000
Do you think about all the fucking wars that a lot of people have forgot about?
00:15:24.000
It's not like when we were fighting back in the day, it was far and few between.
00:15:29.000
It was an event because there was only a few a year, you know?
00:15:35.000
When he goes into WEC, was there anybody really better?
00:15:46.000
Whatever that pace is when a guy is at the top of the food chain, you can't keep that pace up for very long.
00:15:57.000
Like if we're gonna do this like who's the best guy ever thing, that's why I always throw BJ Penn in there.
00:16:02.000
Because BJ Penn, and you fought him, BJ Penn in his fucking prime was a demon.
00:16:10.000
But when he was in his prime it was like BJ and then everybody else.
00:16:18.000
So if you look at Aldo, like the Aldo that fought Uriah, remember what he did to Uriah's leg?
00:16:26.000
How many dudes would have just rolled over and that would have been the end of it?
00:16:29.000
I think Alde respected him and actually backed off towards the end because of it.
00:16:38.000
He had to go in a hyperbaric chamber every day to try to heal that fucking thing.
00:16:41.000
Yeah man, full disclosure, like at the end of my career when I was fighting in 45, I was like, I'll fight anybody but Aldo.
00:16:51.000
That's the piece that's missing from him later was the frequency of his leg kicks.
00:17:14.000
Just think about it, especially now with the calf kick, how many guys that fought Pejeta are going to be fucked up for the rest of their life?
00:17:22.000
How many guys are gonna have like some weird thing with their foot?
00:17:25.000
They're gonna get like dropped foot or something from nerve damage.
00:17:27.000
My biggest fear was that shin break, like what happened to Chris.
00:17:32.000
Even before it happened in the UFC, I seen it in kickboxing and I'm like, you know, it's horrible.
00:17:39.000
You could trust your shins, but how do you know?
00:17:44.000
It was always something in the back of my head when I was throwing kicks.
00:17:50.000
Even when I'm watching fights now, when it happens, I always have this response of, be ready to look away, because if a leg snaps, I don't want to see that.
00:17:59.000
You know, it's interesting the way Pajeda does everything.
00:18:02.000
I don't think he runs the risk as much of that because, first of all, he kind of kicks around the outside of your leg always.
00:18:12.000
And even when he kicks the thigh, he's like kicking up.
00:18:19.000
He always catches that back angle or an up kick.
00:18:29.000
He almost knocked him out at the end of the first.
00:18:33.000
But it's just the power that he can generate from no hip at all.
00:18:43.000
It's crazy because it's the perfect combination of a guy who has this insane God-given power.
00:18:50.000
He's got insane one-touch-of-death power, and then the intelligence to not wind up.
00:18:58.000
He's just tapping you with it, tapping you with it, but the thuds are so bad.
00:19:12.000
I think that Pereira is going to mix in a takedown.
00:19:39.000
I mean, listen, you don't get more confident on the feet than him, but...
00:19:44.000
He hangs out with our good friend, the great Glover Teixeira.
00:19:54.000
Or he could be dealing with Khalil Roundtree and say, you know what?
00:20:00.000
Why not give him a wrinkle just to give him something to think about?
00:20:08.000
If he could just mix that in, how many more strikes would he land, too?
00:20:11.000
Because then if there's a real threat of him taking you down...
00:20:15.000
And by the way, how fucking strong is that guy on the ground, probably?
00:20:19.000
His hands are probably so big, he's just like...
00:20:26.000
When I put my hand on him to talk to him, he's made out of wood.
00:20:30.000
Especially at 85. What does the comma mean when he says comma?
00:20:40.000
When someone says they want to fight, he's like, Shama.
00:20:46.000
You'd rather hear him talk some shit than hear him.
00:20:57.000
You're in that octagon waiting for him and you see that stomp.
00:21:05.000
He was able to come up this year without talking shit.
00:21:11.000
All these fighters think they gotta talk shit to come up.
00:21:14.000
He did it by just stepping up to the plate and fighting and knocking motherfuckers out.
00:21:28.000
Seriously, he thought him and Jamal were going to be cool with each other.
00:21:38.000
But Jamal, like, that fight, like, there was that weird moment where he kicked Jamal in the nuts, you know, or Jamal kicked him in the nuts, rather.
00:21:46.000
And he waved, when he waved her off, and he did a little step in there.
00:22:00.000
And he was like, he stepped on and got the angle, and I couldn't move because Herb Dean was there.
00:22:10.000
All I was thinking is, so there's so much happens, right?
00:22:15.000
First question is always, is this going to fuck the fight up?
00:22:22.000
Because I think, like, every time you get kicked in the nuts, one point.
00:22:27.000
Because even if it's an accident, if you get slammed in your nuts, and then you have to go back to fighting two minutes later, you've been affected.
00:22:38.000
And now all of a sudden, you're supposed to fight full clip against a guy who's trying to kill you, who just cracked you in the nuts?
00:23:02.000
I've been listening to you motherfuckers telling me to get an iPhone, and I don't know how to work it.
00:23:21.000
Like, scroll down from the top and then you can get to airplane mode.
00:23:27.000
How about I put it on the floor and stamp on it?
00:23:37.000
We didn't notice it because, okay, he gets kicked in the nuts, like, oh shit, they stop in the fight, what's going on?
00:23:42.000
So I didn't notice that little hop in here that he did.
00:23:46.000
Yeah, you see, now he got the foot on the outside.
00:23:50.000
But on the flip side, Herb wasn't in Jamal's way.
00:23:55.000
Look, he relaxed, he strained his legs, he gave him the thumbs up, are we cool?
00:24:00.000
And it looked like he was trying to touch gloves, so they touched gloves.
00:24:03.000
But he's already way closer than he's ever been before.
00:24:06.000
Most of the fight up until this point was fought with Jamal about a foot past where they are right now.
00:24:12.000
He was in the outside and he was touching him from the outside and that was his game plan.
00:24:32.000
But this is one of those moments where you're like, are they stopping the fight?
00:25:23.000
But he also put his hand on the outside of Jamal's hand that cleared the angle for him to throw the left hook over top of it.
00:25:29.000
And dude, his left hook, it's like a shovel hook.
00:25:46.000
Khalil knocked down my boy Anthony Smith, had him in slow motion.
00:25:51.000
That off-speed uppercut he threw, that was slick, dude.
00:25:59.000
He came back from Thailand like a different fighter.
00:26:01.000
I think once he went over there and was training full-time, there was a big change in him, I thought.
00:26:07.000
Well, Khalil's had moments in his career where he hasn't been dialed in.
00:26:11.000
There was a few fights where he admittedly wasn't all in.
00:26:18.000
The Anthony Smith fight, you're like, holy shit.
00:26:24.000
But do you think the UFC would want Khalil to be champ?
00:26:29.000
Well, he just don't really have that championship thing about him.
00:26:48.000
A lot of guys beat Olivera because he was cutting too much fucking weight.
00:26:53.000
Well, I'm just saying, every time you see Khalil Roundtree do interviews, he crying and stuff like that.
00:26:57.000
Like, is that the type of guy that we really want?
00:27:06.000
There is nothing wrong with someone who's sensitive who can fuck you up.
00:27:12.000
I'm not saying there's something wrong with it.
00:27:14.000
I'm just saying is that the guy that we want holding the belt?
00:27:17.000
Maybe that's what we need in 2024. As you guys get older, do you get more emotional?
00:27:37.000
This is just what actual men are like when there's no one around that can yell at you.
00:27:43.000
When there's no one around that can yell at you.
00:27:45.000
If we had the same conversation with our wives, you'd be like, what the fuck are you saying?
00:27:56.000
This is what people would be talking about if you were hanging out in your living room.
00:28:15.000
There's a show, oh my god, there's an HBO show.
00:28:19.000
It's a docu-series about people that own chimpanzees.
00:28:30.000
When the chimps tear people apart, they tear your face off, they tear your eyes off, they bite your fingers off, they pull your dick off.
00:28:37.000
Dude, there's so many moments in that show where you're just like, what the fuck?
00:28:50.000
This show is all about what happens when people have pet chimps and the chimps get to be about five years old and they don't want to listen to you anymore because they're a 200 pound fucking super predator.
00:29:02.000
They're our closest relatives, and they're really fucking smart.
00:29:07.000
And when they get to be like five years old, you can't even put them in a combination lock, they were telling me.
00:29:17.000
They'll see what you do to get out, and then they'll replicate it.
00:29:24.000
They're not as smart as people, but they're also vindictive and spiteful and they're angry and jealous.
00:29:30.000
They do that a lot with the wild animals, like the fucking people who own hippos.
00:29:33.000
But the thing about these things is when they hit like five, you just got to keep them in cages all the time.
00:29:38.000
So when they're babies, everybody's hanging around with them.
00:29:45.000
But then they get to be five and then they rip someone's face off for no fucking reason at all.
00:29:50.000
What was the Netflix series that followed the chimps?
00:30:00.000
Because that one, these scientists were embedded in this group of chimpanzees for 20 years.
00:30:05.000
So these people, these chimpanzees, their whole lives, they had seen scientists.
00:30:10.000
You have to stay 20 yards away, don't look them in the eye, no food.
00:30:20.000
If they decide that you have something they want, there ain't shit you can do about that.
00:30:28.000
I mean, you got to see the hierarchy within their clans or whatever you want to call it.
00:30:50.000
Because these chimps are so accustomed to these scientists that they acted completely normal around them.
00:30:58.000
Because their whole life they had had scientists around them with cameras.
00:31:03.000
It was just like, that's a different kind of tree or something.
00:31:06.000
As long as you don't have food, as long as you don't look them in the eye and don't get any closer than 20 yards.
00:31:13.000
So if the chimps start moving towards you, you move away.
00:31:19.000
If you got a candy bar, they'll rip your dick off for that candy bar.
00:31:23.000
They don't have any sense of what's appropriate.
00:31:49.000
All that shit you see in those movies, though, those are all young chimps.
00:31:58.000
Remember that Clint Eastwood movie, fucking Any Which Way But Loose?
00:32:04.000
The second one, when they were going to have that fight, and then it's, you know, they heard they're still fighting.
00:32:09.000
And then it's, you know, guys, there are different, oh, let's get on the plane and let's go see the fight.
00:32:13.000
Dude, they're fighting for fucking two hours, these guys.
00:32:28.000
It's funny because back then you would never think that people were actually having bare-knuckle fights for money and now it's on pay-per-view There was never gonna be bare-knuckle boxing I'll tell you man as a sport.
00:32:45.000
That's crazy So this is just some backyard shit that people would do like this is the this is the big killer This is the guy that's like the big money champion.
00:32:54.000
He's gonna eventually fight him, and he's watching Clint, and he steps in to help him, and he starts fucking some people up.
00:33:00.000
We didn't even know what real fighting was back then.
00:33:26.000
Man, I'm a fan of Tombstone with Val Kilmer, too.
00:33:37.000
When he's looking, he's like, I'm Johnny Barrett.
00:33:38.000
Any time you get Kurt, and we did this in a group text.
00:33:49.000
I think when I find these movies that I never heard about, it came out in like 2015. I saw it on Netflix, I thought it was new, and I didn't know, so I started watching it.
00:34:00.000
It's like a western horror movie, because these cannibal Indians are almost like predators, because they got these things in it.
00:34:05.000
Well, they're completely different, like a different species of person.
00:34:09.000
They have these things in their windpipes, remember?
00:34:28.000
It's a fun horror movie, and the fact that it didn't get the attention that it deserves...
00:34:46.000
There's certain things it takes a while to get through.
00:35:01.000
Once you get out of the first season, you'll be good to go.
00:35:03.000
I love the first season, man, but it gets hot after that.
00:35:36.000
And the show The Boys, I was in, and there's some good stuff in that show.
00:35:48.000
Now, you know in X-Men, you ever hear of Multiple Man?
00:35:50.000
He can make multiple of himself, like other clones of himself?
00:35:58.000
I could deal with some sex scenes and some freaky shit.
00:36:06.000
Now, I don't need to see a guy's face in another guy's asshole.
00:36:13.000
So multiple man, or this little version of him in his thing.
00:36:20.000
And I guess this happens sometimes in gay gyms.
00:36:51.000
So now this guy, they open up the thing and they see that, oh yeah, I hope it was worth it.
00:37:02.000
Yeah, that's like Ant-Man inside someone's asshole.
00:37:23.000
But the whole show is like this, where they do shit like that.
00:37:40.000
He's got pink eye, because he had his face in an asshole.
00:37:44.000
So now he's coming back, he's got a pink eye in his own.
00:37:47.000
100% someone's trying to normalize things like that.
00:37:49.000
Because that's probably like every bottom's dream, is to actually climb inside a guy's asshole.
00:38:00.000
But Matt, I know exactly the thing you're talking about.
00:38:07.000
I tapped out on The Walking Dead when they killed Glenn with the baseball bat.
00:38:27.000
Because they killed him off with a baseball bat.
00:38:29.000
But did you imagine that's your character, your character for all these years, everybody loves it, and they kill him off with a baseball bat, and you're like...
00:39:00.000
How hard is it to figure out how to kill these things?
00:39:12.000
This is crazy that they still run into zombies.
00:39:15.000
You haven't killed all the zombies in like five years.
00:39:34.000
Because it was like, no one knows what the fuck is going on.
00:39:37.000
But it gave you a real sense of dread and fear.
00:39:40.000
Like, these people are trapped in the middle of this outbreak.
00:39:48.000
The LA one, Fear of the Walking Dead, is much more realistic.
00:39:53.000
Like, the guy waking up in the hospital in The Walking Dead, the problem with that scene...
00:40:05.000
28 days later, Killian Murphy, also from Peaky Blinders, he's in the hospital and he wakes up.
00:40:11.000
He doesn't know what the fuck happened because he got hit by a car or something like that.
00:40:15.000
Was he riding a bike, got hit by a car, I think?
00:40:20.000
And in getting out of the hospital, he realizes that the world has ended and there's a zombie apocalypse have broken out while he was in a coma.
00:40:36.000
What year did the Walking Dead graphic novel come out?
00:40:49.000
I think you can find 28 weeks later, but 28 days later, I don't think you can find.
00:40:57.000
I ordered it on DVD. I even bought a DVD. You even have a DVD player?
00:41:06.000
Because they asked me If I wanted one, I said, yeah, I'll take one of them.
00:41:23.000
Those DVDs, it's probably as good or better than streaming.
00:41:32.000
I had that for a long time, though, because I used to get all the Pride videos on VHS. I used to get like K1 videos and shit, all the weird shit from Japan from a friend of mine.
00:41:40.000
He would send it all on VHS. What year was the graphic novel?
00:41:47.000
For the record, I want to answer your question.
00:41:49.000
The Walking Dead came out within the same year that the movie came out?
00:41:54.000
But someone noted that they both were taking from another movie that came out in the 60s.
00:42:05.000
I was trying to look it up when you were asking.
00:42:09.000
Yeah, it's like zombies or something like that.
00:42:15.000
After being splashed with Triffid poison from a stinger.
00:42:18.000
During his recovery, he's told of an unexpected green meteor shower.
00:42:25.000
For the record, I guess 28 Days Later may have...
00:42:40.000
It says the comics came out less than a year after 28 Days Later was first in cinemas.
00:42:48.000
This guy just got into Game of Thrones like 20 years later.
00:42:57.000
I just got Max just so I could watch that shit.
00:43:06.000
I told Dean after the first season, I didn't want to wait till the second season.
00:43:09.000
So I got the book and I ended up reading all five books.
00:43:20.000
I loved it so much, I did it on my iPad, and because of my ADD, I made the font real big, so it's like two paragraphs.
00:43:25.000
I'm like, eh, I'm going right through the thing.
00:43:40.000
Sorry, so why has 28 Days Later been removed from streaming?
00:43:43.000
It says, indeed, Disney lost the rights to the independently financed original film, with them now only owning the rights to Searchlight Finance sequel 28 weeks later.
00:43:54.000
And what, they don't want to put it on Netflix?
00:43:58.000
It's one of the best zombie movies of all time.
00:44:01.000
It's great, because when they weren't slow, they'd get rabid.
00:44:06.000
It could be another country, and maybe you sneak around and find it.
00:44:23.000
What kind of life is it like if some fucking Wuhan China lab comes up with some zombie virus and releases it?
00:44:37.000
Rabies takes animals that never want to bite people and turns them into an animal that needs to bite you.
00:44:57.000
Before we figured out how to stop it, and you have to get those shots before you start having symptoms.
00:45:05.000
They have to find out you got bit and then give you those shots, and it has to happen really quickly.
00:45:13.000
Rabies kills something like 99% of the people that get it.
00:45:20.000
And so one of the things they figured out is that if they slow down everything in your body and put you into a medically induced coma, it gives your body the resources to fight it off.
00:45:30.000
Because your body can fight it off, but it can't fight it off as quick as the virus moves forward.
00:45:42.000
So like, when you think about what that is, it's a crazy old virus that spreads itself by making its host violent.
00:45:53.000
So saying that no one would ever do that, these fucking psychopath eggheads that they give these grants to that do this fucking gain-of-function research shit on viruses, making them more infectious to human beings, do you think they would stop at a coronavirus?
00:46:26.000
And, you know, people are making a big thing about, oh, he's got to get him down.
00:46:43.000
The difference in height, the reach, that's at a disadvantage once he gets a hold of him.
00:46:48.000
So he could beat the shit out of him up against the cage.
00:46:52.000
Now there's a little less pop in his punches and strikes.
00:46:58.000
That length is going to be a problem when he closes the distance, Merab.
00:47:02.000
So I got to ask you, because you know Merab better than anybody here, I'm sure.
00:47:09.000
When I see him now, he's just a different animal.
00:47:18.000
When he first came to us, the English wasn't great at all.
00:47:28.000
Imagine having Matt and Ray Longo as your English teachers.
00:47:44.000
A reality show with you and Ray Longo cornering fighters and just traveling around and training fighters.
00:47:56.000
I'm doing my own geek podcast called Geeking Out with Matt Sarah.
00:48:07.000
The second episode I did, I did one with my buddy Phoenix Cannavale.
00:48:11.000
We talked about our worst to best X-Men movies.
00:48:25.000
I did two episodes, one with Phoenix about the X-Men movies, and the second one was myself and Ray Longo.
00:48:30.000
My studio is nine minutes from Longo's school, and we did our top five gangster movies.
00:48:35.000
There's a movie that's on our list that I didn't know this fact until it came out, because I don't know why people didn't see this movie.
00:48:43.000
Did you ever see State of Grace with Sean Penn?
00:48:49.000
I watched it again with my wife before I did the show, just back in my head, because I knew it was going to be on the list.
00:48:53.000
And I wondered why so many people didn't see this movie.
00:48:56.000
So fucking the great Ray Longo brought up a great point.
00:48:59.000
It came out the opening weekend, same as Goodfellas.
00:49:09.000
I've never even heard of it until you just said it right now.
00:49:22.000
Another one on the list that a lot of people have seen this because Biggie Smalls raps about him is The King of New York.
00:49:37.000
I was thinking about putting it in there, but it's more of a heist movie.
00:49:43.000
The guy who got out of jail, it's based on a real dude.
00:49:47.000
The guy who was the De Niro character who got out of jail, it was based on a real dude.
00:49:52.000
He did a bunch of robberies, and then he went to jail for a long-ass time and got out and did a bunch more robberies.
00:49:59.000
He was organized crime, for sure, but it's like...
00:50:30.000
A funny thing about Al Pacino in that movie, he's over the top in it.
00:50:40.000
When I seen him, he spoke about his role in that.
00:50:45.000
He goes, what influenced him about playing that character is that the character was chipping off pieces of cocaine like he was a cokehead.
00:50:55.000
And they kind of took that out of the movie, but that's how he was playing them, like all coked up.
00:50:59.000
So it kind of explains it, like how he was so out of his mind.
00:51:03.000
So they didn't show it in the movie, but that was how it was written?
00:51:06.000
He said it, it was, yes, he was like chipping off pieces of cocaine.
00:51:12.000
I have no clue, but he definitely said it in an interview.
00:51:20.000
You're doing this all coked up character and he's doing coke and then they cut out all the coked out.
00:51:24.000
Everybody's like, what the fuck's wrong with him?
00:51:26.000
You're playing a drunk, you're going to remove the alcohol.
00:51:31.000
He goes, that's why I chose some of the choices I made for that character.
00:51:37.000
If there was no meth, how much less crime would there be?
00:51:42.000
I mean, just think about how many ridiculous crimes get cooked up while they're on meth, literally.
00:52:01.000
They had like fucking big giant machine guns and shit.
00:52:04.000
They were literally just walking up the street blasting people.
00:52:08.000
Apparently they were roided out of their fucking minds.
00:52:10.000
These dudes are roided out of their minds doing coke and they robbed this bank in North Hollywood and the cops boxed them in.
00:52:21.000
We stopped production of the show to watch it on television.
00:52:44.000
One of the cops shot one of the dudes and then did not call for ambulance.
00:52:48.000
And then people were criticizing him that he let the guy bleed out.
00:52:56.000
They were criticizing him because this psychopathic murderer who just robbed a bank who was gunning down cops because he let them bleed out and didn't get them to an ambulance in time.
00:53:12.000
There's no CGI in 1996. Save the taxpayers some money.
00:53:16.000
See if you can find that, Jamie, because it's crazy to watch, man.
00:53:24.000
So these guys were having a shootout with cops.
00:53:27.000
This guy's walking down the street, just blasting.
00:53:34.000
Sometimes he was ducking behind cars with giant rifles and shit.
00:53:41.000
So I think at the end, he's probably trying to die.
00:53:44.000
It's a pretty long scene, too, when the real shit went down.
00:53:51.000
This set keeps going because then the other guy comes.
00:54:03.000
And this was back when, if something happened, they would, we interrupt General Hospital.
00:54:24.000
Because I have a friend, my friend Justin, he's always said, he goes, dude, let me tell you something, six armed dudes that know what the fuck they're doing could take over a whole city.
00:54:52.000
So when you see something like this happen, it's like, how do they keep these fucking crazy people from...
00:54:57.000
You know, we need to do a better job of finding out where the meth is going.
00:55:03.000
You know, you're going to trace illegal aliens, but find out who's bringing in the meth.
00:55:15.000
They try to lock down most of the drugs for it now, like the Sudafed and shit.
00:55:19.000
I mean, you've got to give a license to get that stuff now.
00:55:22.000
The people that are making that, they're not using that.
00:55:28.000
So they're getting them from China, cooking it up in Mexico, bringing it across the border.
00:55:33.000
The dudes with a truck stop are driving all night long.
00:55:43.000
I've talked about it a thousand times, but there's a book that we just read.
00:55:55.000
Oh yeah, there's that scene of Hitler fucking watching the fucking games.
00:56:00.000
Yeah, but apparently what they did was they were given a mess so they could go three days through Poland.
00:56:07.000
And so when they did this, no one thought they could get across the whole country in three days.
00:56:13.000
And you really couldn't unless you didn't sleep.
00:56:18.000
And they gave different doses to different jobs.
00:56:21.000
So if you were in the tanks, they gave you the most meth.
00:56:32.000
I was watching it last night since you said that.
00:56:54.000
Sometimes you talk to actors and they're pretending to be a guy that you would want to talk to.
00:56:59.000
That's what it feels like when you talk to them.
00:57:04.000
He's also phenomenal in a movie that a lot of people didn't see called Shot Caller.
00:57:31.000
Remember that old Tom Selleck movie, Innocent Man?
00:57:34.000
Something kind of like that, but he really did the accident.
00:57:40.000
He doesn't want to be no bitch, and it goes from there.
00:57:45.000
And that's how he ends up, but he didn't start off like that.
00:57:56.000
movie oh yeah i don't think he had no doubt about that yeah that fucking guy yeah i believe he was great don't laugh john ronald you you next yeah you look like you'd be in prison too you could be in that movie yeah you'd be part of that fucking arian i remember when keith jardine beat chuck liddell i was like wow yeah right that was yeah that was a yeah no one saw that coming that was a big win and then he suffered some of the same losses you know well
00:58:28.000
He just had a bare-knuckle boxing fight recently.
00:58:39.000
He's either bare-knuckle boxing or maybe celebrity boxing.
00:58:45.000
But Houston Alexander in his prime was terrifying.
00:58:50.000
Yeah, like if he did Bare Knuckle when he was younger, he would have been perfect for it.
00:59:20.000
With that Keith Jardine fight, Jardine had him hurt.
00:59:23.000
And so Jardine got a little overzealous in the game after him, and Houston Alexander caught him.
00:59:33.000
And this just upstart, this guy coming out of nowhere.
00:59:36.000
I think he was a radio DJ. I think he beat Saqqara after that, the Italian...
00:59:51.000
Could you imagine being a radio DJ and people talking to DJs and shit?
00:59:54.000
It was a radio DJ while he was fucking people up.
01:00:08.000
You used to hook my head up on her every week when I still had hair.
01:00:13.000
Because they brought in, on the Ultimate Fighter 4, they brought in some chick.
01:00:16.000
Because they know we, you know, we're not seeing our fiancés or girlfriends or anything.
01:00:24.000
So fucking, they bring in some girl to do our hair.
01:00:27.000
- Is that code? - At least as far as they know I'm not wrapping up in there.
01:00:33.000
But so they brought in some stylist, and she's not giving me a fade, so I'm like get the fuck out.
01:00:44.000
You're probably the reason why I won that show.
01:00:54.000
The other day, I just did a camera crew from Toronto came down.
01:01:00.000
They're doing a thing called Dark Side of the Cage, and they want to interview me about War Machine.
01:01:17.000
When he was on the show, there's some guys that are just evil.
01:01:21.000
And there's other guys that I think that if they had the right people around them, they could have made different choices.
01:01:31.000
He always felt like the cards were stacked against him type of thing.
01:01:36.000
But there was still something likable about him on the show when he was on season six of The Ultimate Fighter.
01:01:43.000
He did it up at Decker and fucking the guy's toilet.
01:01:47.000
But I felt that if he had the right people around him, I think he could have made, obviously, a lot better choices.
01:01:56.000
Because we all kind of came from the same shit from back in the day, right?
01:02:02.000
But then look at guys like him and Phil Barone.
01:02:11.000
You can have too much crazy and then it'll ruin your life.
01:02:14.000
And there's like, every fighter has a certain amount of crazy.
01:02:21.000
They keep it locked up in a fucking, behind that mask.
01:02:24.000
But some guys, they just can't, their crazy burns them down.
01:02:29.000
And then, you know, you got the CTE. And CTE comes into play, then there's a lot of guys that just get real impulsive.
01:02:46.000
There are guys that are bad eggs, but there are guys for sure that are bad eggs that then get CTE. Oh, no, there's probably...
01:02:54.000
But like, War Machine, the one guy to show up at his trial to be there for him...
01:02:59.000
And again, you show me your friends, you show me who you are.
01:03:10.000
Not only did he be there for war machine, he outdid him.
01:03:14.000
You know, war machine put his girl in the hospital and beat the shit out of her.
01:03:17.000
And now, you know, Barone's in jail for, you know, allegedly killing her.
01:03:38.000
So, you know, these guys come, you know, again, but back to War Machine, I don't know.
01:03:43.000
It makes me more, like, Phil I always knew was a piece of shit, but...
01:03:58.000
I never would have imagined that he would have done that.
01:04:00.000
But I would imagine that he would lose his cool if anybody challenged him.
01:04:19.000
And how many guys that That are doing this, like, have also experienced that in their life.
01:04:25.000
Like, seen their mother been beaten, been beaten by their father, grew up in an abusive household where everybody hits everybody.
01:04:31.000
There's a lot of kids, unfortunately, in this world that grow up with parents beating the shit out of them and beating the shit out of each other.
01:04:39.000
And, you know, if you ever talk to Joe Pfeiffer, man.
01:04:56.000
I was working with him last week when I was with Brady and him, and we were doing elbows, and my wrists still ain't the same right now.
01:05:03.000
Bro, when he banged out Barrio, I was like, Jesus Christ.
01:05:07.000
I mean, with more seasoning, Jack Dellup, I mean, Jack...
01:05:17.000
He had more time in the game, and Jack's stand-up has gotten a lot better over the years.
01:05:23.000
He used to be just this wicked grappler, but he held his own on the feet and won the fight mostly with striking, right?
01:05:34.000
But Pfeiffer is so scary that he gets everybody out of there so quick.
01:05:38.000
Pfeiffer is going to be up there with the best of them.
01:05:44.000
And like a dude like that, he needs a fight like that just to kind of like put it in perspective.
01:06:01.000
I was more impressed with his stand-up than anything.
01:06:04.000
Earlier, it was all his grappling, and I'm thinking, this guy, I texted him right after a fight, and that was what I complimented him on.
01:06:10.000
And I gotta give props to John Marquez out in Philly.
01:06:15.000
He'll be putting in work with them guys, you know?
01:06:16.000
You can tell he's a good student too, man, because every fight you see him, and I think in the Bilal Muhammad fight, early in the fight, he was giving Bilal some trouble standing up, but Bilal just put it, I don't think Bilal gets nearly the respect he deserves.
01:06:31.000
Bro, the way he put it on Leon Edwards, how the fuck do you not give that guy all the props?
01:06:46.000
And then when you see what he did to Leon, you're like, good lord.
01:07:06.000
And bro, that guy going to Dagestan was like the ultimate move.
01:07:11.000
You get involved with Khabib, especially with his kind of style and his work ethic.
01:07:21.000
I also think it's good that he didn't get the props.
01:07:42.000
He's telling everybody, fuck you, even though he doesn't even swear.
01:07:50.000
But, like, that guy's just beginning his run, you know?
01:08:01.000
But they owe Kamaru for Kamaru taking Hamzan on 10 days' notice.
01:08:07.000
And also in a three-rounder instead of a five when he won the third.
01:08:11.000
So he's got the L, which is, if he's going five rounds, maybe he doesn't get an L. Yeah, I think he doesn't get the L if it was five rounds.
01:08:17.000
It looked to me like he was coming on in the third.
01:08:19.000
He had to figure him out, and also he had to trust his gas tank.
01:08:22.000
The guy trained ten days, one of the scariest motherfuckers on earth.
01:08:27.000
I say you've got to give it to Kamaru because I think Kamaru earned it from that alone.
01:08:31.000
He had to weather that fucking storm of a first round.
01:08:36.000
Even if you're in great shape, you have to weather something like that.
01:08:38.000
That could get your endurance down right there.
01:09:19.000
I send him every time I find something on stem cells, I send it to him.
01:09:22.000
Yeah, because they're regenerating cartilage now.
01:09:44.000
I thought I gotta go to Columbia for that shit.
01:09:51.000
In Colombia, what they can do is they can multiply the stem cells.
01:10:00.000
And they have a whole arrangement with the UFC. They have a partnership with the UFC. CPI is incredible.
01:10:13.000
Petrolski goes there like a bunch of these guys doing that stuff.
01:10:17.000
Yeah, because I mean, listen, I got a new knee and it's holding up great, but I hear stuff with the shoulders, you're fucked.
01:10:31.000
Do you do anything to strengthen your shoulders?
01:10:35.000
I mean, I do my push-ups and I hang from my bar just to stretch the shit out.
01:10:46.000
They start with like five pounds or something like that.
01:10:53.000
And I do a series of exercises just to stabilize my shoulders.
01:11:03.000
Is it like that thing with the coils back in the day?
01:11:07.000
It's like a cord, like a rubber strap that you're pulling on.
01:11:14.000
Different ones have different weights to them, so you can start off low.
01:11:17.000
But the whole idea is there's a whole chart that comes with it and shows you all the different things, and it just strengthens all the shit that you don't strengthen when you're just lifting weights.
01:11:26.000
If you're just lifting weights, or especially if you're just rolling, how often are you really using those shoulder muscles?
01:11:33.000
So are your shoulder muscles getting a good workout, or is your cardiovascular system and your legs and your biceps and your back, that getting a good workout?
01:11:44.000
And the only way to really strengthen joints, I think, is exercise.
01:11:49.000
And I think you've got to do weights and bands and a bunch of shit just to protect your joints.
01:11:55.000
This thing you were talking about, too, helps to really stabilize the ligaments.
01:12:00.000
It tightens all the stabilizers up, and that's the thing everybody neglects because if you go too heavy, your delt takes over and your rotator cuff's not getting it.
01:12:14.000
That knees-over-toes guy got a whole shoulder bulletproofing program, too, with light dumbbells where you're doing a bunch of these things.
01:12:21.000
See, I got to do that because holding pads for people, oh, it tears your shoulders up.
01:12:28.000
Isn't it crazy how some dudes just have crack, just have some extra crack?
01:12:43.000
And that's what happened to me all in one week.
01:12:54.000
You would catch people and you would see this like, oh no, look on their face.
01:12:58.000
When you caught GSP, I remember thinking, because we already knew by then that you could knock people out with one shot, which was so odd for a jujitsu guy.
01:13:08.000
So everybody had to worry about your ground game, but they always have to worry about being in the pocket, because one of those hammers drops in there, and you've got a real problem on your hands.
01:13:16.000
When I fought, Matt, I was like, I ain't gonna let him hit me with that right hand.
01:13:22.000
It's a thing, but you didn't have a background in striking as a child, right?
01:13:34.000
If you're doing Wing Chun as something to add on, that's fun.
01:13:39.000
But the trapping range, the grappling's right there.
01:13:41.000
Anytime I got into a real fight, I'd start with a chain punch and I'd do my double leg.
01:13:46.000
I think there's something to it for transitions.
01:13:49.000
I think there's something to having all those moves.
01:13:51.000
Think about how many times you see boxers literally swat a guy's hand down to land a punch.
01:14:04.000
Of course, but Taekwondo by itself is shit too.
01:14:08.000
All those things, but I think, I knew a dude who was really good at Wing Chun and he was explaining some things to me.
01:14:13.000
And some of the things that he was showing me, there's certain vulnerabilities if you're inside with someone where they can really easily manipulate your arms back and forth and move your guard around and drop elbows on you.
01:14:26.000
Like Wing Chun and then Muay Thai, you see some of the Muay Thai stuff where guys grab wrists and come over the top.
01:14:34.000
The difference is, when you look at two Muay Thai guys getting into a street fight, it'll probably look something like you're watching them in a Muay Thai fight.
01:14:41.000
You put two Kung Fu masters in there, Wing Chun guys, it is the worst grappling match I've ever seen.
01:14:48.000
Because it starts like a Yip Man movie, and then they fucking on the floor, like what the...
01:15:02.000
But I feel the Westin boxing, Longo got me, obviously, I had to learn on the job.
01:15:12.000
When the UFC came out, everybody was like, oh, fuck all the striking.
01:15:15.000
So I was like, in my mentality, I'm like, all right, I got to just close the distance.
01:15:22.000
Sometimes you got to be in the fire and you have to learn those mechanics and whatnot.
01:15:26.000
Well, that's the difference between guys who are pretty good and guys who become champions.
01:15:30.000
It's like this ability to absorb other skills and then implement them at a world-class level while you're an adult, which is crazy.
01:15:41.000
And most guys, they are always going to be a step behind the guys who started out as a child.
01:15:49.000
Speaking of crack, Mark Dellegrati says that you have the hardest kick that he's ever held for.
01:16:01.000
Not a lot of people might give you credit for that.
01:16:04.000
Did he tell me that yesterday and then he said, Joe, give him a line.
01:16:12.000
Mark Dellegrati on season four, we didn't have set coaches.
01:16:16.000
He was like an assistant coach and he gave above and beyond for everybody.
01:16:25.000
He showed me all kinds of things that tightened up my technique.
01:16:30.000
All kinds of things just in transitions, like transitional techniques, like different things to do off of different kicks.
01:16:51.000
He was letting us hit the pads, take them down, hit on the floor.
01:16:53.000
Like, he earned his cash on fucking Ultimate Final Four.
01:17:05.000
Yeah, he can go to Thailand and just talk to people.
01:17:09.000
We've gone to Thai restaurants, and he just orders Thai.
01:17:20.000
Yeah, I knew that, but I didn't know he spoke Thai.
01:17:33.000
I mean, maybe there's some stronger shit that I'm not aware of, but this is...
01:17:40.000
It's called AH. This dude Juju Mufu, do you know who he is?
01:17:51.000
He can do full splits over tables while he's doing 500 pound overhead squats.
01:18:03.000
So the smelling salts will get me looking like that?
01:18:09.000
You take the smelling salts before you lift that weight.
01:18:12.000
I'm not going to smell this and have to shit myself.
01:18:14.000
You take the smelling salts before you go across the border with 15 pounds of steroids.
01:18:30.000
The bottle's sealed, and the bag is sealed, too.
01:19:16.000
No, but a few inches from the nose and just go for it.
01:19:29.000
Rallo probably did it this morning before he woke up.
01:19:58.000
Best opening scene of any superhero movie of all time!
01:20:09.000
When they all turned into vampires and he thought he was gonna fuck Tracy Lords.
01:20:13.000
So he's down there hanging out with Tracy Lords, and he doesn't know she's a vampire, and she leads him down in this basement where he sees bodies hanging from meat hooks.
01:20:22.000
And then the sprinkler starts spraying blood, and everybody turns into a vampire around him.
01:20:27.000
And he's freaking out, and he's trying to get out of there, and she's like, hey baby.
01:20:33.000
And he gets his ass kicked, and they're all beating him up, and they're about to kill him.
01:20:41.000
They're going to have him back as Blade now, right?
01:20:48.000
They should have brought him back as Blade right when he got out of prison.
01:21:04.000
The greatest scene in any martial arts slash superhero movie ever, and then he fucks everybody up, of course.
01:21:17.000
Yeah, powerlifters do it before they take a big lift a lot of times.
01:21:22.000
Yeah, guys would have this shit in their gym bags, and they bring it with them, and when they're ready to go for something crazy...
01:21:40.000
We have them at the studio or at the comedy club.
01:21:42.000
Dudes take smell and smells before they go on stage.
01:21:54.000
The stuff we have at the comedy club though is not this strong.
01:22:06.000
The other ones you can kind of get in there a little bit.
01:22:12.000
You get too close with that one and it'll burn the inside of your head.
01:22:23.000
Everybody, they get it and they're like, wow, that was terrible.
01:22:36.000
Because I was realizing, I think I like these things too much.
01:22:39.000
Especially gets the body to hit a little adrenaline.
01:22:42.000
Yeah, we're talking about the nicotines doesn't.
01:22:55.000
Like, I like to take days off, see if it's freaking me out.
01:23:02.000
I told y'all, whatever y'all do today, I'm doing.
01:23:38.000
Yeah, Khalil has probably never shot a takedown in his entire career.
01:23:44.000
No, he's never shot a takedown in the UFC. Bruv, Khalil hits anybody.
01:23:58.000
Yeah, he holds his hands right here and just like, bop, bop.
01:24:02.000
You've seen some of those videos of him sparring, like, really good boxers, man.
01:24:06.000
And that style is hard to handle because it's so weird.
01:24:10.000
Like, that one boxer that he was training with, he's like, I don't know if he's professional, but he's a big heavyweight, very skillful, but everything was, like, real traditional.
01:24:19.000
And then you see Pereira's moving at you like a cobra.
01:24:22.000
Like, it's so hard to figure out what the fuck he's doing.
01:24:47.000
I think Pereira's 35, and I think Khalil is probably in that same range.
01:25:19.000
And, you know, the one with the bad one with Izzy.
01:25:24.000
That was a bad KO. And that's a weight-drained KO. You know?
01:25:29.000
KO at 85. I mean, just Izzy caught him with that perfect right hand.
01:25:33.000
Well, I asked, too, because when guys that fight, like Roy Jones, amazing, but an amazing athlete, he was so much faster than everybody fought with.
01:25:43.000
He could keep his hands down and still never get hit.
01:25:47.000
When he started to slow down, everybody knocked him out.
01:25:51.000
That's why I asked how old Pereira was, because I'm like, maybe when he slows a bit and the hands are down, that's when the button starts to get pushed.
01:25:59.000
I think, this is my opinion, with Roy, what happened was he went up and he fought John Ruiz.
01:26:10.000
And I don't know, but I would imagine if you want to get really big, there's not a lot of ways to get really big.
01:26:24.000
So then you have to get off of that, and then you have to drop 25 pounds from your body.
01:26:29.000
So your body's fully acclimated to this new frame.
01:26:33.000
And if you look at the way he looked pre-Tarver fight, like if you go back and watch him fight like James Toney when he was in his prime, you watch him fight like some of the better fights of his career, like the Vinnie Pazienza fight where he didn't get hit with one punch.
01:27:03.000
But when you see him after the Tarva fight, he looks way more smooth.
01:27:10.000
And then he probably got off whatever he got on.
01:27:15.000
And if you don't have a good doctor, and you're just trying to do this with gym bros...
01:27:19.000
Next thing you know, you're in those shitty Matrix sequels.
01:27:32.000
And so you see, like, all of a sudden this dude just can't take a shot anymore.
01:27:35.000
And Glenn Johnson, who was one of those unheralded, dangerous dudes that could really kind of beat anybody.
01:27:42.000
Who was the boy that knocked him out in Australia?
01:28:04.000
If you fought the Roy Jones that James Toney had to fight, then it's a different thing.
01:28:10.000
One of the purest power punchers was Julian Jackson.
01:28:18.000
You know, Kevin Holland's coach used to work with him.
01:28:34.000
Yo, dude, I'm going to use the head real quick.
01:28:56.000
I don't think nobody had more one-punch power than Julian Jackson.
01:29:07.000
His brother was a heavyweight, and he was 47. I remember.
01:29:14.000
But watch this Julian Jackson KO. It's so crazy because it's like he just shuts him off.
01:29:34.000
So you heard him with that left hand, but he catches him with the right hand and just freezes him.
01:29:52.000
I would be terrified if that guy was stalking me like that.
01:29:59.000
And every time he hits you, you know it too, because you're like, oh shit, this is fucking terrifying.
01:30:04.000
So he's already softened him up and there it is.
01:30:11.000
He was out on his feet, bro, and those were wind-up ones.
01:30:24.000
I felt so bad for him because he got slept so fast in those fights.
01:30:44.000
Because the crazy thing is, like, I didn't know that Gerald McClellan and Julian Jackson were at the same weight class.
01:30:55.000
McClellan, though, was like 175, though, right?
01:31:01.000
My first live boxing card I ever went to was in Vegas at the MGM, and it was all rematches.
01:31:12.000
It was, I think it was Simon Brown and Vincent Petway.
01:31:16.000
It was Julian Jackson and Gerald McClellan, and it was Julio Cesar Chavez and Frankie Randall.
01:31:32.000
Well, they were talking about a Roy Jones Jr. fight.
01:31:41.000
Gerald took his belt, and then they rematched, and he slept in first round, maybe.
01:31:45.000
And so the Nigel Benn fight, that was middleweight as well.
01:31:53.000
I mean, in my opinion, there was a lot of rabbit punching and he wound up having a blood clot in the back of his head after that fight.
01:31:59.000
Well, there was also a nasty headbutt in that fight, too.
01:32:02.000
But it's also Nigel Benn came back from that first round.
01:32:17.000
Yeah, but I mean, it's like that and the little sides.
01:32:21.000
Gerald McClellan just coming after you for the kill.
01:32:30.000
Well, he was one of the scariest punchers of all time.
01:32:34.000
But he's another guy who tried to empty the gas tank with Nigel Ben in that first round, and Ben survived, and then he winds up having that brain bleed.
01:32:54.000
MGM. Well, once Gerald McClellan knew that he could put it on you, it's like his power was just so nuts for that weight class.
01:33:03.000
But I always wanted to know, like, what does he really weigh?
01:33:09.000
Like, when you get in there, what do you really weigh?
01:33:11.000
Because he really struggled with the weight cut.
01:33:27.000
He's not even giving him his chance to get off.
01:33:51.000
Let me give you eight seconds to clear your head and get concussed.
01:33:55.000
Well, you remember when Shudo used to do standing eight counts?
01:34:08.000
Yeah, that's probably about the only thing you should bring them back for, stalling.
01:34:15.000
I used to think when there was a submission in the Pride, and the referee would be like, what would he say?
01:34:40.000
Lopez went through a rollercoaster ride in his last fight.
01:34:49.000
Well, you've got two different opponents, but a bunch of different weight classes.
01:34:54.000
And so Ortega steps out, and then he winds up fighting Dan Ige, 50K Ige, on like 40 minutes notice.
01:35:05.000
Something I didn't know about that, but I was watching, DC was actually talking about this.
01:35:11.000
And he said that Ige had been training for five or six weeks.
01:35:15.000
Obviously, he took the fight on like a two-hour call.
01:35:17.000
They said Lopez had only been training for three weeks.
01:35:26.000
Because he got tired in the fight, and everybody's thinking he's got a bad gas tank.
01:35:31.000
He cut weight to 45. Yeah, so he had three weeks of training, weight up and down everywhere.
01:35:44.000
Which is really like, no one should be cutting weight, kids.
01:35:47.000
Right, like at this point, if you make the fight happen, just let them show up.
01:35:50.000
I think what they really should do, they really should do, is just find out what you fucking actually weigh and just stop this nonsense.
01:35:57.000
It should be looked at the same way steroids are looked at.
01:36:00.000
It should be looked at the same way all other kind of cheating is looked at.
01:36:13.000
Do you think same-day weigh-ins would change it?
01:36:17.000
I mean, they say that because of the dehydration and stuff.
01:36:21.000
One of the things they say about head injuries and death in boxing, the vast majority of them don't take place at heavyweight.
01:36:29.000
So the guys who hit the hardest are not the guys who are getting these horrible brain injuries where they get dead inside the ring.
01:36:37.000
Makes sense, because they're not cutting weight.
01:36:39.000
And the guys who die a lot, like the Duck Koo Kims.
01:36:41.000
If you look at the guys who die, a lot of them are cutting.
01:36:47.000
A lot of those guys that are dying are dying in the weight classes where they cut a lot of weight.
01:36:52.000
So like Sean Brady and Gilbert Burns over the weekend.
01:36:56.000
There ain't no way Sean Brady's 174. That's what I'm saying.
01:37:06.000
They walk into the cage at 190. They should just be fighting at 190. They should be fighting at 190, and this way they both agree to it.
01:37:24.000
And also, the fucking drama of seeing if a guy dehydrated himself enough 24 hours before a cage fight is somehow or another interesting to people where Daniel Cormier is pushing down on that towel.
01:37:42.000
Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier were both fucking killers.
01:37:50.000
Figure out what you weigh when you make the contract.
01:37:57.000
If a guy's a pound over, a pound under, who gives a fuck?
01:38:02.000
But how about what they did to Mikey Musumichi?
01:38:08.000
Well, I mean, he was going up in weight to fight Cade Rotolo, so he went up to 170, and then like...
01:38:14.000
A couple days, like a week before, they're like, no, you got to go back down to 135. Cabo Cholo's out.
01:38:19.000
And he's the champion, and they treated him like this.
01:38:21.000
And they're like, you got to go back down and cut 30 pounds.
01:38:46.000
How can you take his belt when he's in the hospital for trying to do you a favor?
01:38:50.000
I was shocked, because that's really not what they're supposed to be about.
01:38:53.000
How are you going to make this fucking guy fight after he had a statement?
01:39:07.000
After recent events, we feel it is necessary to provide additional context on Mikey Musumechi's withdrawal from the 168 Denver card.
01:39:18.000
Mikey was obviously put in a difficult spot when Cade Rotolo withdrew due to injury.
01:39:22.000
When that happened, We worked closely with him and his team on a new opponent.
01:39:26.000
Competing at flyweight was something that he personally requested as he felt confident that he could make the hydrated limit of 135 pounds for a world title defense.
01:39:35.000
This is not something we pushed to him to do on short notice or would have ever demanded of a one athlete given how much we prioritize fighter safety.
01:39:45.000
After Mikey failed weight and hydration tests on Thursday, he requested an opponent submission grappling contest against Burberto Oliveira, and we continue to work with him to try to keep him on the card.
01:40:00.000
He ultimately felt it was his best interest to withdraw from the contest, and we are honoring that.
01:40:05.000
This writing is uncertain when Musumechi will return to one, or who will compete for the now vacant belt.
01:40:23.000
A rare condition which air leaks from a part of the lung.
01:40:29.000
How do you fucking strip a guy when he winds up in the hospital?
01:40:37.000
Like, imagine if Alex is fighting Khalil Roundtree and in making weight, he winds up in the hospital and the fight's canceled.
01:40:59.000
I think it's a part of the culture that can be eradicated.
01:41:03.000
That's like saying, oh, they can always do steroids.
01:41:11.000
It's like most of these athletes are pretty clean.
01:41:13.000
There might be a few instances of questionable behavior.
01:41:16.000
Perhaps a trip to a foreign land is difficult to get to.
01:41:23.000
Because we've seen deteriorations of performance because guys have had to clean up.
01:41:33.000
I was just looking at pictures of him today versus Uber Eam and it's pretty crazy because he's lost a ton of weight.
01:41:41.000
Now he's on a vegan diet and he's all spiritual.
01:41:49.000
Yeah, he's thinner than he was when he was fighting.
01:41:58.000
They have, like, side-by-sides of him then and now.
01:42:06.000
But, you know, when he fought Brock Lesnar, he was just a freak of science.
01:42:13.000
If you just let that dude juice it up like that, that guy back in the day, ooh, he was the most dangerous.
01:42:19.000
Because those kickboxing skills were top notch.
01:42:29.000
I feel like USADA robbed us of the real Uber-eam.
01:42:35.000
Could have stayed Uber and just continued at 265. Ooh, baby, baby, baby.
01:43:05.000
It's funny how you look back on those days, especially the juicy days, and you wonder, like...
01:43:14.000
What would the world look like now if we were under the same sort of protocols they were under then?
01:43:20.000
Forget about the TRT days, because everybody lost their fucking mind.
01:43:26.000
But when there was just tests at the weigh-ins, that was a different thing, man.
01:43:32.000
That's a different thing, just testing at the weigh-ins.
01:43:54.000
Yeah, apparently there's some ways that you can mask.
01:43:56.000
You just over flood your system with fluids and it cleans out all the traces of whatever metabolites would be in there.
01:44:02.000
I guess there's probably a window where it would get back in your urine.
01:44:08.000
Yeah, that was kind of my point, because it kind of takes away from safety, but I guess...
01:44:13.000
They shouldn't be dehydrating themselves 24 hours before a cage fight.
01:44:18.000
I know, but it seems like, you know, I actually said this to the guys that bought the UFC when I was talking to Ari about it.
01:44:25.000
I was like, dude, that's the first thing you should do.
01:44:27.000
Figure out a way to get rid of the weight glasses.
01:44:29.000
As they are, like whoever is a champion in that, keep them as a champion.
01:44:32.000
Let them defend the belt at what they actually weigh.
01:44:36.000
Weight cuttings, the thing that's going to fuck us more than anything is if somebody gets really badly hurt because they had a really bad weight cut.
01:44:43.000
You know guys have kidney failures, guys have died.
01:44:46.000
You lose all the water around your brain and you're taking trauma?
01:44:49.000
How many weight limit, I mean weight classes, you think?
01:44:53.000
You need a weight class, I think you need one every 10 pounds.
01:44:55.000
But I think we should be a little bit looser on what a person weighs.
01:45:00.000
I think you should make a contractual obligation to fight each other.
01:45:07.000
His natural weight is 175. Do you want to fight him?
01:45:11.000
Your natural weight is 169. You're agreed that you can't get any higher than 176. Are you cool with that?
01:45:18.000
That's like total, you don't have to think at all about cutting weight.
01:45:22.000
And so the day before the fight, instead of almost dying, you're filling yourself up with carbs and nutrients, you're relaxing, you're gonna have a better performance.
01:45:31.000
It's better for the sport, it's better for the health of the athletes, it's more representation of what a real 155 pound guy looks like, because you see those guys when they get in there and they're 180, like Drickus, That is not a 185 pound man.
01:45:45.000
Maybe they need to weigh in the day they're signing the contract to see where both of them are.
01:45:56.000
So if we have a hydration thing, like say, if you're going to compete, you need to be in shape in your fighting weight, and then we're going to weigh you in.
01:46:07.000
And we're going to check your water levels, we're going to check your hydration.
01:46:11.000
You weigh 182 pounds in your prime, ready to go, okay?
01:46:16.000
So this is what you guys are contractually obligated to stay in this range.
01:46:20.000
So you can't get any higher than 183 or 184. You give them like a two pound, I have to take a shit.
01:46:25.000
No one's going to be saying their real weight to begin with.
01:46:29.000
But they won't be able to stop them if they fucking hydrate test them.
01:46:32.000
So if they show up, you say to a guy, like, look, we're going to show up, we're going to test you at the weight that you're going to fight at.
01:46:40.000
So, you can't get any higher than this, and we're gonna make sure that you're not dehydrated.
01:46:44.000
So we're gonna check you to make sure that you're not fucking around, like, pretending that you're 182 pounds, you're really 200, and you dehydrated yourself for the last four hours.
01:46:55.000
What they do in Maryland for high school wrestling, before the season, the kids have to get the electric body composition, and it sees what they weigh, it sees where their body fat percentage is, and it says you can't go no lower than this.
01:47:18.000
I think that would cost a lot for the UFC to do it.
01:47:26.000
I mean, for the UFC. They just need to be sure.
01:47:30.000
Don't let anybody fuck around like, hey, you showed up at 196, you still want to take the fight?
01:47:37.000
The problem is the UFC has the ability to do this.
01:47:41.000
No other organization would have the ability to do this.
01:47:45.000
The UFC obviously could do it at the PI. Every year, this is what we do.
01:47:50.000
But no other regional-level organizations would be able to do it, so it would be a little tougher.
01:47:54.000
I heard, doesn't California do some kind, like Andy Foster, do some kind of hydration testing there for athletes?
01:48:00.000
I think he has a limit on how much you can gain.
01:48:07.000
But then you're just making sure the guy's dehydrated because guys are knuckleheads.
01:48:10.000
They're going to dehydrate themselves anyway to have that size advantage.
01:48:13.000
Especially a guy like McClellan who thinks he's going to take you out in the first round anyway.
01:48:19.000
You should find out what you fucking really weigh and fight what you really weigh at.
01:48:22.000
It shouldn't be the ultimate weight cutting championship.
01:48:24.000
Better Better for your chin not to be dehydrated.
01:48:27.000
Better for the longevity, better for the health of your physical body that is literally your weapon of war.
01:48:42.000
Look, it can be done because if it wasn't and then all of a sudden people started doing it, it would be something people would call out.
01:48:47.000
If nobody ever cut weight and then all of a sudden everybody started cutting weight, everybody would go, what the fuck is this shit?
01:48:54.000
How are you the 170-pound champion when you weigh 200 pounds?
01:49:00.000
That's her biggest peeve with MMA is weight cutting.
01:49:04.000
Well, it is fair because you're both doing it, but it's not right.
01:49:17.000
170, I was small for 170. So all you need is 10 pounds.
01:49:22.000
We go 170, goes to 175, 85, 95, 205, maybe 225. That's what I say.
01:49:55.000
When you've got a guy like Ngannou that has a natural 265, which is nuts, he falls right there, like right in the hot zone, like a natural shredded 265. But that's what he really weighs.
01:50:15.000
Do they have the same shit in Bellator or PFL? I don't think they have a super heavyweight.
01:50:21.000
I don't think anybody has an active super heavyweight division in MMA that I'm aware of.
01:50:28.000
Japan, really, was the only place to put on the crazy freak shows.
01:50:56.000
Remember that time we had a boxing match against some football player?
01:51:00.000
Somebody let some poor football player have a boxing match with Butterbean.
01:51:04.000
It might have been a celebrity boxing match, and Butterbean knocked him into another dimension.
01:51:14.000
Because he's so big, he ain't going to distance.
01:51:47.000
Oh, so this is a kickboxing match, which is nuts.
01:51:50.000
When I was at my heaviest, that kind of looked like that.
01:51:57.000
It might be a football player who trained MMA. Marcus Royster.
01:52:04.000
See if you can find there was a boxing match that he had against some football player dude.
01:52:19.000
Diamond Dallas Page really did another rehab on him.
01:52:28.000
Put him up in the house, feeding him all that, you know?
01:52:46.000
This poor dude got shot into another dimension.
01:52:50.000
He looks like he's getting shot into another dimension.
01:52:53.000
This is one of them guys that, you know, somebody should have told them.
01:53:00.000
Eventually this fucking crazy looking dude is going to catch you.
01:53:05.000
He's going to hit you right in your porn stash, right?
01:53:09.000
There's a thing about winning with a porn stash, you know, but you get KO'd with a porn stash on.
01:53:46.000
It was just crazy to watch a guy who was only willing to fight four rounds.
01:53:54.000
I fought in that when I was 18. There's a place for everything, right?
01:53:59.000
We were talking about Mike Perry before we started doing this.
01:54:05.000
He should have told Jake Paul, listen, we need to fight, but let's do bare knuckle, pussy.
01:54:15.000
Well, it's like Matt always says, play to your strengths.
01:54:21.000
He probably made 10 million bucks or something.
01:54:27.000
The only time he fought another boxer his size was Tom Fury and he lost.
01:54:35.000
You know, I think he's like any other young up-and-coming boxer.
01:54:39.000
It's just everybody dismisses him because he's a YouTuber.
01:54:41.000
It's easy to dismiss him, but I was there when he knocked out Tyron, and I was like, man, I'm done with this kid.
01:54:48.000
I never wanted to corner another fight in my life, man.
01:54:53.000
I was like, yo, he just knocked my boy flat out on his face, man.
01:54:59.000
And that's why, like, everybody's talking about this Mike Tyson thing.
01:55:02.000
I was like, man, they should not be letting this thing happen.
01:55:08.000
I'll just be real bummed out to see Mike get KO'd at 58 years old.
01:55:12.000
What other sport would we let a 58-year-old man compete other than golf?
01:55:25.000
Listen, he's perfectly capable of knocking him out.
01:55:29.000
If he zigs when he should have zagged, if Mike can close the distance in a way that he doesn't expect, and Mike also has layers upon layers of attacks that are in his mind, he's forgotten more about boxing than Jake Paul has ever remembered.
01:55:45.000
It's just how quickly can it happen, because how much gas is a guy like that going to have?
01:55:51.000
He might have been excited when he said he wanted to do it, but how does he feel now?
01:55:55.000
You've got months and months and months of this.
01:55:56.000
I just want to see something other than his mitts.
01:56:05.000
He seems to be having fun when he's promoting it.
01:56:14.000
Like, if he loses, he's also almost 60. If he wins, fuck, man.
01:56:23.000
Look, at the end of the day, Mike Tyson's a monster.
01:56:25.000
And if he can get that monster to just move in and close the distance, and if he uncorks a boom-boom on Jake Paul and watch Jake Paul go into Queer Street, that will be wild.
01:56:34.000
To watch a 58-year-old Mike Tyson, that would be best-case scenario for the world.
01:56:43.000
Yeah, best case scenario for the world is that he knocks Jake Paul out.
01:56:46.000
Yeah, best case scenario is Jake Paul realizes immediately he's in there with Mike Tyson.
01:56:51.000
That Mike Tyson, at least for a round or two...
01:56:53.000
First time he gets cracked, I guarantee his head's gonna be like, oh shit.
01:57:04.000
Do they have 10-ounce gloves or 12-ounce gloves, Jamie?
01:57:09.000
I think they're making them have slightly bigger gloves.
01:57:26.000
My wife was driving home one day, she saw a zebra.
01:57:42.000
There's more tigers in captivity in Texas in private collections than in all of the wild of Earth.
01:57:50.000
You only hear about tigers getting loose in people's yards here, do you?
01:58:01.000
There's thousands of tigers in private collections in Texas.
01:58:15.000
They're also tight with fentanyl tests, which is even crazier.
01:58:17.000
Escape tiger that had Texas communities on edge finally caught.
01:58:31.000
See, you got all that oil money down there in Houston, and that's where dudes have their own tigers.
01:58:36.000
You just got to worry about some raccoons and shit.
01:58:38.000
There's a guy in New York that had a fucking tiger in his house in Harlem.
01:58:42.000
Yeah, there's a photograph, a famous photograph of these cops.
01:59:01.000
I think they just found out the guy had a tiger in there and they had to go in and dart him.
01:59:05.000
And then they had to drag him out of there and take him to the zoo.
01:59:08.000
Yeah, the dude had a 450 pound cat in his fucking apartment.
01:59:15.000
First of all, that thing's going to piss everywhere.
01:59:18.000
They marked their territory by pissing on things.
01:59:41.000
I had the people who did the documentary on yesterday.
01:59:44.000
That thing was crazy, though, with that kid killing himself by accident.
01:59:47.000
First of all, you don't find more white trash than that.
02:00:03.000
The people's desire to have these things that could kill them.
02:00:07.000
I'll just watch the new Planet of the Apes movie.
02:00:22.000
I heard it goes back to the first Alien, where they're hard to find and scary.
02:00:27.000
After a while, they were everywhere, and you just shoot them.
02:00:29.000
The first one, you couldn't even find that fucker.
02:00:37.000
Aliens was such a great sequel to Alien, because it was a different take on it, and then the Space Marines, and fucking Newt, and fucking Hicks.
02:00:54.000
But it was a totally different kind of movie, right?
02:00:57.000
So you got Ridley Scott does the first Alien, and you got this suspenseful, terrifying thing, and people start coming up missing, and it's fucking hiding in the ceiling.
02:01:09.000
You're thinking Tom Everett's going to be the hero.
02:01:16.000
She was the first male or female lead of a monster movie, action movie, where you didn't go, oh, they're pushing a woman on me.
02:01:29.000
You believed that this lady scientist got stuck in this fucking spaceship with a demon.
02:01:42.000
And Aliens, they're shooting them left and right.
02:01:45.000
The people in Aliens, Alien 1 would have been done in five minutes.
02:01:52.000
But in this one, they kill so many of them until they get to the mother.
02:01:56.000
And then when the mother doesn't kill her when she's wearing the robot suit, I'm like, shut the fuck up, bitch.
02:02:00.000
But I like when she's like, get away from her, you bitch!
02:02:03.000
In the first one, you really didn't know what was going on.
02:02:06.000
In the second one, they were prepared for what they were coming up against.
02:02:14.000
If she's in a robot thing where she's completely encased, okay.
02:02:28.000
How's that not gonna fuck you up instantaneously with your stupid-ass slow robot?
02:02:32.000
There's so many moments in that, though, that movie, when they barricade themselves in the one room, and they have the monitor, and they're like, they're through the wall!
02:02:47.000
All of a sudden they look up and you see Hicks.
02:02:50.000
He pushes up the tile and you see them all crawling in the fire.
02:03:00.000
I was hoping they would have got more into the engineers, like when they did Prometheus, that they would have got into those people, but it wasn't much of the movie.
02:03:10.000
Prometheus was good, but the one after Prometheus was better.
02:03:43.000
And again, the aliens in this one, they're hard to get a hold of.
02:03:49.000
So these are the things that it gets in your ear.
02:03:57.000
And when these dudes start shaking, when it gets them...
02:04:07.000
I think the new one's Ridley Scott, too, as well, right?
02:04:30.000
Oh, did people said something about his accent, right?
02:04:32.000
What is the accent that people have an issue with?
02:04:53.000
They always want people, when they're speaking another language, they always want them to have a British accent.
02:05:17.000
But there's something about hearing regular modern English in an old-timey movie, like, nah.
02:05:27.000
All the people in Game of Thrones, they all had an English accent.
02:05:30.000
Did they speak Latin with an Italian accent back then?
02:05:35.000
I don't think these people were speaking Latin.
02:05:40.000
Were they speaking Italian or were they speaking Latin?
02:05:44.000
Okay, but here's the question, the reason why I ask this.
02:05:46.000
When Martin Luther was translating the Bible in the 1500s or the 1400s, whenever that was, the reason why the Bible was the priests would be the only one that could tell you the Word of God, because they're the only one who could read Latin.
02:06:03.000
So these people didn't know what was in the Bible until Martin Luther translated it into phonetic languages.
02:06:10.000
I think German and a couple other languages it got eventually translated to.
02:06:14.000
So then people could read the Bible for themselves, whereas before it was just Latin.
02:06:23.000
You learn it in school, but you're never gonna fucking use it.
02:06:32.000
So the Roman Empire, they spoke a language that's dead.
02:06:39.000
476. That's probably when people stopped speaking it, but priests probably still knew because of everything was written.
02:06:44.000
After the fall of Rome in 476 AD, Latin began to die out, and distinct local Latin dialects developed.
02:06:52.000
So these dialects eventually evolved into modern romance languages like Italian and Spanish, which is crazy!
02:06:57.000
That means those languages are only 500 fucking years old!
02:07:01.000
But if you see a movie about it, it was English with an English accent.
02:07:06.000
But isn't it crazy that those languages, like Italian, is only like 500 years old?
02:07:13.000
And there's a lot of similarities between Spanish and Italian as well.
02:07:18.000
Texas is way bigger than all those places, you know, which is nuts.
02:07:22.000
Like Europe, when you look at America, it's basically like Europe, right?
02:07:28.000
But Kentucky is so much different than Los Angeles, you know?
02:07:31.000
It'd be 1,500 years old, not 500. Oh, that's right.
02:07:48.000
Did you guys ever watch, and I watched it more than once, I watched it at least a few times, the series Rome on HBO. Yeah, I have.
02:07:55.000
I think it's only two seasons, but it's really good.
02:08:03.000
The budget was super high at the time, and it is a fucking great series.
02:08:24.000
I think he played the Punisher, too, and all the actors.
02:08:40.000
Even if you go onto YouTube and watch Lucius and Titus just being badass, or Titus Pulio being badass, it's just, oh my god.
02:09:00.000
This is only two seasons, and again, I revisit it a lot.
02:09:04.000
Me and my wife, she's waiting for my stomach to get better.
02:09:07.000
I go like, we might as well just fucking go and put a cork up my ass, because I'm not going to...
02:09:13.000
And I heard you can eat the food over there, and it's not as bad for you.
02:09:16.000
Well, we've got some weird shit going on with our food, that's for sure.
02:09:23.000
They don't have poison in their foods over there.
02:09:28.000
Fruit Loops in America are different than Fruit Loops in fucking Canada.
02:09:35.000
We allow all those funky dyes that are horrible for you.
02:09:38.000
And European countries are like, no, that shit's poison.
02:09:59.000
Yeah, you didn't think it was going to kill you.
02:10:03.000
I used to take Frosted Frakes and put sugar on top of it.
02:10:12.000
And if I ain't had no milk, I had Kool-Aid in there to add to my sugar.
02:10:24.000
I remember I'm eating raisins in there, and he's eating fucking Kit Kats and shit.
02:10:33.000
I'm far from a fucking nutritionist, but I don't think, you know, because I don't like these fucking raisins.
02:10:39.000
There is something to be said for drinking things that have a high sugar content after hard training.
02:10:48.000
Floyd Mayweather used to be having these crazy workouts and he would crack open a Pepsi.
02:10:52.000
And people were like, what the fuck is he doing?
02:10:57.000
As hard as that guy worked out, flooding yourself and you're getting that muscle glycogen in a crazy way that you're really not going to get any other way.
02:11:08.000
I like to drink a soda every now and then, a real one.
02:11:12.000
Well, that's what, like, Paul Felder does, like, after, like, a long bike ride.
02:11:17.000
Yeah, the best times to do it are, like, they say either when you wake up just because you're fasted or after a big workout, they're the safest times to do that.
02:11:27.000
And you would think, like, there's no way this guy, he treats his body like a temple.
02:11:34.000
Never drank, never partied, never was out of shape, never got fat, would run home from the club at 2 o'clock in the morning, in his jeans, just fucking getting in work, never out of shape.
02:11:55.000
And also figured out, I can't knock everybody out, but I can get everybody to want me to get knocked out.
02:12:00.000
And so people come to see me get knocked out, and I beat everybody.
02:12:05.000
I mean, he's definitely the greatest defensive fighter of all time.
02:12:09.000
If boxing is hit and doesn't get hit, who's better than Floyd?
02:12:37.000
Maidana knocked his tooth out and then would carry it around on a necklace.
02:12:41.000
Maidana has Floyd Mayweather's tooth on a gold necklace.
02:12:50.000
A lot of people thought Maidana won the first one.
02:12:52.000
He definitely cracked him at the end of that round and wobbled him.
02:12:58.000
And so then Floyd got back on his bike and started outboxing him.
02:13:07.000
Think about how good defensively you have to be.
02:13:10.000
We can count how many times you've been cracked.
02:13:21.000
So he's probably telling his corner guy, get that motherfucker in there!
02:13:28.000
And one of the corner men saw it and grabbed it.
02:13:36.000
That second fight, Floyd got the ring bigger, and he just destroyed him in the second one because he had more room to run.
02:13:43.000
The first one, Maidana kept getting him on the ropes, getting him on the ropes, and beating him up.
02:13:47.000
Well, if you're going to have a rematch with a master technician, he's going to figure out all your little things.
02:13:54.000
Did you see Superlek in 1FC? I didn't see that, no.
02:14:03.000
Dude, Superlek is this badass Muay Thai fighter, and he fought Jonathan Haggerty, who was the champion.
02:14:24.000
KO. So they had a real good fight in the first fight.
02:14:27.000
It was six years ago, and Hagerty became the champion, and everybody thought, you know, like, this is going to be a much different fight.
02:14:32.000
But what I saw that was interesting was someone broke down, there was a video breakdown of his tells that Hagerty has a certain hop, hop, and then he goes in.
02:14:43.000
And then Superlek had timed it, and he tried it earlier in the round and didn't catch it.
02:14:55.000
This is the thing that I love that 1FC is doing.
02:14:58.000
I don't love what they did to Mikey Moose Imagine.
02:15:00.000
But what I love what they're doing is they're having world-class Muay Thai fighters and they're putting them in these giant cards where like tens of thousands of people see them.
02:15:11.000
So millions of people are gonna see it around the world on Amazon and it's on the internet.
02:15:14.000
So all these people are gonna be able to see it on YouTube.
02:15:17.000
It's exposing people to these guys that are just super high level strikers that you're not going to hear about.
02:15:25.000
Ra-Tang, who would have heard of Ra-Tang if it wasn't for one?
02:15:31.000
That fucking elbow reminded me, it just brought me back to Weidman vs.
02:15:40.000
And that fight, I think, would inspire Chris Padilla to use the elbow against Ron Zhu over the weekend.
02:16:31.000
He's got like his own people with like Brian Barbarina and those guys.
02:16:35.000
They got a decent little squad down there from what I hear.
02:16:41.000
He was throwing hard kicks with that right leg.
02:16:45.000
But it seemed like he was trying to prove a point.
02:17:00.000
I keep saying it, but I feel like they should cover those fingertips.
02:17:08.000
I mean, I just don't understand how they thought this was going to solve the problem.
02:17:13.000
And our guys are still getting poked in the eye.
02:17:19.000
I feel like if you're going to have the fingerless ones, Trevor Whitman's are the best.
02:17:34.000
How did they think that was going to be the answer?
02:17:38.000
There's no reason to not cover the fingers like a bad glove.
02:17:40.000
Just have a piece of leather that goes over the fingertips so you have one thing.
02:17:53.000
And this way, at least if you get poked in the eye, you're getting a blunt thing like this.
02:17:58.000
You're not getting something that goes into your eyeball, right?
02:18:00.000
So have them all covered with something like that and have like a ridge over the top of it, like a soft foam ridge.
02:18:07.000
So even if you're getting poked in the eyes, you're not...
02:18:11.000
Yeah, you're not getting an individual thing going deep into your eyeball with a fingernail, which is what people get right now.
02:18:21.000
Even if you trim your nails, like my nails are trimmed, I wouldn't want that in my asshole.
02:18:31.000
Yeah, that's worse than little Ant-Man getting big inside your asshole.
02:18:39.000
It's like soft tissue in your eyeballs is the scariest soft tissue.
02:18:42.000
We're allowing fingernails to go in there for no reason.
02:18:47.000
You really could fix that by just covering the tips of the fingertips.
02:18:51.000
I think you should just use Trevor Whitman's glove.
02:18:57.000
You know, you remember Roberto Duran and Davey Moore?
02:19:02.000
Dean Thomas, do you want them to use the Trevor Whitman gloves because you feel bad about taking his fucking job?
02:19:13.000
He left the job so he could work on them gloves.
02:19:16.000
So you might as well give him the love for that.
02:19:33.000
I think it'll protect people from hand injuries better.
02:19:37.000
He apparently wanted some crazy amount of money that the UFC wasn't willing to give.
02:19:45.000
I don't know what Trevor—I love Trevor, but I'm a big fan of his stuff.
02:19:49.000
If it was up to me, I would figure out a way to make that work.
02:19:52.000
But, you know, apparently he wanted something crazy.
02:19:56.000
Not only that, Dean Thomas has your fucking other job now!
02:20:12.000
That's Joe Rogan in D.C. I got to have my own thing.
02:20:22.000
Hey, there's some good fights on this card this weekend.
02:21:00.000
That's going to be an interesting fight, but for me, scroll all the way up to the top, Jamie.
02:21:09.000
I'm very, very interested in the rematch of Alexa Grosso and Valentina.
02:21:14.000
I felt like Valentina did enough to get the nod in the second fight.
02:21:19.000
And some judge gave the last round to Alexa Grosso 10-8.
02:21:28.000
Because he had her in the choke, and he was just kind of biased from the first choke.
02:21:39.000
If you're going to do that, you should do that all the time.
02:21:41.000
Anytime someone gets you in a choke and you defend, that's a 10-9 already.
02:21:51.000
A 10-8 round is more like when Aljamain had Jan on his back the entire round threatening, you know what I'm saying?
02:21:59.000
Getting it at the end of the round doesn't earn you two points.
02:22:09.000
All I know is poor Aljo didn't get the respect he deserves after that Calvin Cater fight, which was a fucking beautiful...
02:22:19.000
I think Aljo is just a 45-er who was a bad motherfucker at 35, but I think we're going to see the real Aljo at 45. I think so, too.
02:22:27.000
I think he's going to beat Oldboy in a couple weeks, too.
02:22:39.000
When he got Sanhagen's back, bro, that was the quickness.
02:22:42.000
That rear naked choke of his is about as good as it gets in MMA right now.
02:22:47.000
But Diego Lopez and Ortego's going to be crazy.
02:22:52.000
What happened to Ortega last time where he pulled out?
02:22:56.000
Supposedly, he got an ammonia or something, right?
02:23:01.000
Yeah, because they made that fight on, like I said, it was a three-week notice fight.
02:23:11.000
I did an interview with him, and he was like, he just looked tired.
02:23:15.000
I think he just, I mean, he didn't make weight that fight either, remember?
02:23:21.000
So he missed a weight, and then on top of that, they changed the weight class, then on top of that, he never makes it to the fight.
02:23:38.000
I heard old Cejudo talking about Rybovich apparently trains at his gym.
02:23:48.000
There's a lot of under-the-radar fights on this card.
02:23:55.000
And the names may not be there, but all these guys are bangers.
02:24:02.000
You get to see the fights if you're in the stands, so you can see things that maybe you don't see.
02:24:06.000
Are they going to have it on the whole ceiling?
02:24:12.000
I was at the Apex all week last week, and it's so secretive.
02:24:18.000
I think they should have the fight on the whole ceiling, and then everybody would not know where to fuck to look.
02:24:23.000
They'd be getting knockouts, and people wouldn't even be looking at them.
02:24:28.000
Because if it's way cooler, if it's only going to do it once, have the shit on the ceiling.
02:24:33.000
Like, people at home aren't going to be seeing the whole visual because, you know, it's produced for...
02:24:47.000
If they're smart, which they are, they should make some kind of documentary or something about the making of this shit.
02:24:54.000
And so people get to try to see what was going on inside of there that weren't able to get tickets.
02:25:00.000
I think there's six mini-movies that play about the history of combat sports in Mexico.
02:25:15.000
So, Sean O'Malley and Merab is a perfect fight for it.
02:25:19.000
I know that neither one of them is Mexican, but let that go for a little bit.
02:25:34.000
He's terrifying, because that's a guy that if you empty out early on Merab, you got real proud.
02:25:48.000
The second half of the round he got dropped in, he beat him to death.
02:25:55.000
That's why the second round happened how it did.
02:26:01.000
But Marise was like a frontrunner like no other.
02:26:04.000
That first round with Henry Cejudo, I thought Henry Cejudo was going to sleep.
02:26:09.000
Dude, when Marlon was in his prime, when he knocked out Aljo with that switch kick, bro, he was terrifying.
02:26:20.000
But he was just too big for the weight class, too.
02:26:36.000
What Marlon had that was so tricky was that left high kick off the front leg.
02:26:44.000
He was explosive, he was accurate, he was well-rounded, but he did the gas tank, I think maybe from making the weight or whatever.
02:26:50.000
It had to do with, there was some psychological aspects to it too, I think.
02:26:54.000
There was like something when he was the nail, it wasn't his, you know, he just didn't stand up.
02:27:02.000
There's a Georgia memory in there of some fucking street fight with a goat.
02:27:11.000
There's some deep memory of some fucking chaotic thing on a mountain that happened that's in his brain forever.
02:27:17.000
You know, you got Sean O'Malley saying that he has...
02:27:24.000
He points out that Cheeto Vera thing that it's a fluke.
02:27:27.000
If you look at Marab's record, that fight with Frankie Sighs was a fucking...
02:27:45.000
And then the other one with Simone, Ricky Simone, it was controversial.
02:27:50.000
Because he was in the choke, and that round ended, and then he was like half in, half out, and they're like, oh, he's out.
02:28:04.000
And then when it's the end of it, it's like, out.
02:29:41.000
Yeah, after the round was over, they decided he was out.
02:29:44.000
Yeah, so I mean, so look, you could look at his record and say he undefeated.
02:29:48.000
He was just laying there with his eyes open, and it looked like he was out because he was fucking exhausted.
02:29:54.000
Yeah, like he could be like, alright, yeah, that's like a sign of relief.
02:29:57.000
Look, there's no way he would have known if the guy says it's over and he immediately protests.
02:30:01.000
There's no way he could have known to protest if he wasn't awake.
02:30:07.000
So it's like you could look at his record and be like, yo, this guy hasn't lost the fight.
02:30:16.000
And if you look at the fight before that, that's the robbery of Frankie Saiz.
02:30:19.000
So you could literally look at this guy and say he never lost.
02:30:23.000
I think all these moments of adversity just strengthened his resolve anyway.
02:30:31.000
When he was carrying Henry Cejudo like a little kid with his tongue hanging out, I was like, this is mad.
02:30:41.000
He wasn't just doing it to some guy who didn't belong in the cage with him.
02:30:44.000
He's doing it to a two-division world champion who's an Olympic gold medalist in wrestling, and he's carrying him around like a pillow.
02:30:54.000
And then he's talking shit while he's choking him.
02:30:57.000
Talking shit while he's beating the fuck out of him.
02:31:00.000
When he had him in that 10-finger guillotine, bro, that's a nasty spot.
02:31:04.000
I thought he was going to get him there with that.
02:31:10.000
I think the craziest moment like that, though, was when Hamzat picked up the leech.
02:31:25.000
And he starts fucking him up right in front of Dana.
02:31:39.000
Smoking cigarettes in the locker room, fucking everybody up.
02:32:12.000
But he had him hurt before this, but he's just fucking accurate.
02:32:26.000
These kids that are coming up, they come into the cage so much better than guys just five years ago.
02:32:33.000
Well, they're getting so much help from the UFC prior.
02:32:47.000
Because when you were coming up, you had VHS tapes.
02:32:57.000
Unless you saw them in your gym, you didn't get a chance to see real high level stuff.
02:33:01.000
And now guys, they have a standard in their head that's way higher than everybody's standard from 10, 15 years ago.
02:33:15.000
And kids, you know, the UFC has boosted wrestling in high schools and junior leagues and things, so they're just more complete.
02:33:22.000
They're growing up now complete martial artists.
02:33:27.000
I remember back in the day, we'd be like, it's a new move, don't show anybody!
02:33:35.000
Bisping said he won his whole career without kicking kicked in the calf.
02:33:46.000
But he never had the kind of results that these guys are having.
02:33:53.000
It just wasn't done that often because guys check it.
02:33:56.000
And if they check it and they turn out and you catch it on your foot...
02:34:01.000
I think they do it a lot more in Muay Thai now, though.
02:34:04.000
Yeah, I think everybody just sees what's going on.
02:34:15.000
In karate combat, you can't throw it to the thigh.
02:34:25.000
What do you mean you can't throw it to the thigh?
02:34:27.000
It's illegal to kick above the knee in karate combat.
02:34:37.000
What about ones where they kick the legs all the time?
02:34:41.000
You know, take out some of the best karate from karate?
02:34:45.000
But you can ground and pound for like 10 seconds or something?
02:34:58.000
What's your feeling on that side kick to the knee?
02:35:22.000
But some head kicks are probably worse than getting knee kicked.
02:35:25.000
I mean, Leon Edwards and Kamaru, if you ask Kamaru, would you rather take a shot to the knee or that shot to the head?
02:35:35.000
If you hit on time, like Khalil did, I think I'd rather get kicked in my head.
02:35:40.000
It's horrible to watch, but you've got to defend it.
02:35:45.000
You remember when Darren Till started using it on everybody?
02:35:48.000
He was like one of the first guys to start using it on everybody.
02:36:08.000
I've had guys tell me that they were sparring with guys they didn't know and they did shit like that to them.
02:36:17.000
A guy was telling me about the ATT. They were bringing in some crazy Russians.
02:36:22.000
I mean, not only that, but they was doing like spinning wheel kicks to the head with just hitting you with the heel.
02:36:32.000
If you're in a high-level sparring match with a guy where it's like you're getting emotional and then you throw a spinning kick, it's so hard to slap him with the foot.
02:36:43.000
You wear shin pads for a reason to protect, but then you're doing a spinning kick where there's no protection.
02:36:50.000
Because you can knee somebody in the face, you can elbow in the face, you can shin them in the fucking skull, but your knuckles are covered.
02:37:03.000
I mean, they came later on, like the gloves that you could, they're not quite, they're not the boxing gloves, the puffies.
02:37:13.000
I always use the 16-ounce gloves because I want to be able to fucking throw.
02:37:17.000
And I grapple in them, but then I get in, I get under the butt, you obviously can't make a grip.
02:37:23.000
But then it's that much easier when I can make a grip.
02:37:25.000
So I'd get in, I'd lose it, but it would help my endurance.
02:37:30.000
When they had the new gloves and people were fucking around with them, I'm like, yeah, but now we're playing.
02:37:42.000
So I couldn't throw realistically with those little gloves.
02:37:50.000
And this girl, Lauren, and she brought in another girl, and they were doing it with those gloves.
02:37:54.000
I go, look, next time you want me to watch this shit, you're playing right now.
02:37:59.000
I'm not going to be telling you to fucking do certain things and throw certain things if you could be playing.
02:38:06.000
I like to grapple in them, but we have to fight.
02:38:09.000
So, I mean, you know, put on some bigger gloves.
02:38:12.000
Do you think that there's a time in a fighter's career where they don't have to spar?
02:38:16.000
Is there ever a time where they don't have to spar hard?
02:38:19.000
If they clock in enough hours, I guess Max Holloway, whoever else, possibly...
02:38:24.000
But even Holloway, when he's getting ready for Gaethje, decided to spar.
02:38:28.000
You have to simulate the fight as much as possible, because you don't want to feel that for the first time in there.
02:38:36.000
I was watching Izzy's fight with Dracus, and the thing about that fight is that it looks like at the end, Izzy's very tired.
02:38:46.000
Like, Drickus catches him with some of those winging punches, which he was getting away from in the earlier rounds.
02:38:51.000
And he catches him, rocks him, and then he hits him with a couple more right hands against the cage, and then immediately gets him in a choke when it goes to the ground.
02:39:01.000
I always wonder, because that school of thought of like the Mar Marinovich school of thought when BJ was in his prime, was those guys were just doing wild plyometrics and cardio, and that's it.
02:39:14.000
We're just going to give you the most fucking insane gas tank you've ever had in your career.
02:39:18.000
And if you can get through this crazy camp of doing box jumps and plyometrics and those fucking...
02:39:24.000
All those things they were doing with their feet...
02:39:30.000
And Nick Kurson, who I talked about, he's trained under him.
02:39:33.000
They have this philosophy that a fighter, like a guy like you or a guy like you, you have so many fights, you know how to fight.
02:39:41.000
What you really need to do for this camp, because you're getting ready for a fight, is not get injured and have a fucking insane gas tank.
02:39:49.000
The flip side of that, most recently, and it's not the same thing because the guy could be weathered a little bit, Who had that philosophy with Tony Ferguson?
02:40:04.000
But Goggins put him through a fucking cardio session.
02:40:07.000
I think Tony Ferguson after Gaethje is a different human being.
02:40:11.000
And I like David Goggins, but I don't think he should have been in the corner.
02:40:15.000
I mean, you got him in the corner yelling from the stand.
02:40:21.000
It's one of those things where it's like, you know, no shit.
02:40:25.000
Look, when it comes to willpower and when it comes to discipline, there's no one like Goggins.
02:40:31.000
But that doesn't matter if you mount him and strangle him to death.
02:40:50.000
You have veins that provide all that blood to your brain.
02:40:56.000
You can't get all that he needs from a guy like that, but you can get something.
02:41:01.000
You can get something, but Tony at that time was already on a long...
02:41:05.000
skid of multiple losses the Chandler knockout he gets front kicked in the face and an epic KO loss the Gaethje fight was horrific and then you gotta go before that he blows his fucking knee out backstage he was the boogeyman we were gonna see the boogeyman versus Khabib it was the fight everybody was pumped and then Al steps in On super short notice.
02:41:28.000
Raging Al had a great fucking account of himself.
02:41:41.000
Bro, I always wonder, man, if Tony Ferguson just doesn't step on those wires and we get to see that fight.
02:41:48.000
Because that was Tony Ferguson when he was the fucking boogeyman.
02:41:56.000
Hopefully they fired that guy, because he ruined history.
02:42:02.000
Didn't Randallman fall backstage or something, too?
02:42:11.000
Went up in the air, banged his head, got knocked out, was bleeding.
02:42:14.000
Yeah, everybody was always going to be guessing, but even when he was in his prime, he fought Kevin Lee.
02:42:23.000
He did triangle him, but Kevin Lee Mountain, no offense to Kevin Lee, it's not like Habib on Tapia.
02:42:29.000
You gotta remember, Kevin Lee maybe didn't achieve his potential, but Kevin Lee choked out Chiesa.
02:42:36.000
Kevin Lee was a motherfucker off the ground, dude.
02:42:53.000
He just was inconsistent and then had a bunch of knee injuries, like severe knee injuries.
02:42:57.000
And that's the thing, like, a fighter's window is only open for so long.
02:43:04.000
Right, if you saw Fedor fight Ryan Bader, you can't judge Fedor on that.
02:43:11.000
That's why I always say BJ, because we judge BJ by the end of his career.
02:43:15.000
I mean, I think Tony beat BJ's, it's not a good record that they have, but as far as how many losses in a row.
02:43:23.000
So these guys got to throw these guys' names in Fight Pass, all these young kids, and see them in their glory days, because that's when you should really watch them.
02:43:30.000
But that's the thing about fighters, is like, whatever that window is, they say it's nine years at your very best, from your contender to your champion, whatever.
02:43:45.000
I think it's about five years where you're just like, in it.
02:43:54.000
And then afterwards, it's like, man, it's not...
02:44:12.000
Before Uriah Hall was like the next big thing when he was in the Ultimate Fighter, Chris had fought him in New Jersey in combat.
02:44:28.000
Like an extended arm hook at the end sometimes.
02:44:31.000
It's a good hook, man, because the guys don't think it's going to be able to reach them, and then all of a sudden it's there.
02:44:43.000
Remember when he fought Khalil and didn't even flinch?
02:44:47.000
Talk about being tough enough to take a beating.
02:45:09.000
There's so many fights on every weekend that when there's not one on, I'm like, oh.
02:45:13.000
You know what I'm looking forward to more than any?
02:45:27.000
Because I see that fight, I go, I don't fucking know.
02:45:33.000
A lot of people would have counted out him on the Gaethje fight.
02:45:39.000
And now you're giving him a lot of time to prepare and get ready for this fight?
02:45:44.000
And then Hamzat and Whitaker, is that going to happen?
02:45:55.000
Jeff Neal over RDA. I didn't know that was happening.
02:46:20.000
Like, Toporia, everybody he hits goes night-night.
02:46:31.000
And Max got that new sneaky spinning back kick while he's stepping away.
02:46:43.000
And it was a skill that he really didn't use a lot earlier in his career.
02:46:51.000
And it was a hard one to do because he's moving away.
02:46:56.000
And talk about a hero fucking ending to that fucking fight.
02:47:00.000
I don't think there's another fight that ended like that.
02:47:03.000
You wouldn't believe that if it was in a movie.
02:47:09.000
He fucking takes that chance of going to the floor.
02:47:23.000
And the fact that it's for the BMF belt, what a perfect fight for the BMF belt.
02:47:29.000
And it's crazy because I'm sitting right behind you guys and I'm watching you guys.
02:47:36.000
And I know you guys take a lot of shit and they make memes about you guys, but watching you do it in those moments is the best thing ever.
02:47:44.000
I think that was the first fight I ever stood up.
02:47:58.000
Anik doesn't stand up very often either, I don't think.
02:48:05.000
And then when Max is walking around going, rah!
02:48:20.000
When he's a calvicator and he's looking away, he's like, I'm the best boxer!
02:48:26.000
I still gave him the second fight with Volkanovski.
02:48:32.000
Imagine if he wins and that he doesn't go through this skid.
02:48:36.000
You know, and you see, oh, the Calvin Cater fight was brutal.
02:48:40.000
He changed Calvin Cater's career in that fight.
02:48:58.000
He's not even looking at him and avoiding all the punches.
02:49:06.000
The other thing about Max, too, is that fucking gas tank.
02:49:18.000
Max seems to be even more powerful at 55 than he is at 45. That's what I thought.
02:49:23.000
But my question is, does he maintain that when he gets down to 45?
02:49:28.000
Especially when he went up to 55. He's got plenty of time to kind of time it out.
02:49:35.000
I would not want to see him drained at all if he's fighting Ilya.
02:49:49.000
I watched his brother hit mitts and I was like, God damn.
02:49:52.000
Bro, he hits mitts like a world champion boxer.
02:49:55.000
I was going to say, we haven't seen the other guy tested Ilya, but then again, in his opening fight, he got head kicked.
02:50:08.000
But Ilya's hands are some of the most impressive hands in the sport.
02:50:14.000
Well, then we'll see who's I was getting ready to say, you're going to find out.
02:50:17.000
This is good, Jamie, but there's a video that's recently on his Instagram that's fucking insane because he's going full clip trying to show off.
02:50:28.000
But see if you can find the clip that's on his Instagram page.
02:50:32.000
His Instagram has an insane video of him just cracking mitts.
02:50:37.000
We played it on the podcast the other day, remember?
02:50:56.000
But here's the thing with Max is Max's movement.
02:51:03.000
Yeah, and if Max can catch him and hurt him the way Jai Herbert did, you know, something sneaky.
02:51:11.000
Does Volkanovsky have anything else on the radar?
02:51:19.000
I mean, that person would like to see him rest a little bit anyway.
02:51:27.000
He should have never taken a 10 days notice fight with Islam.
02:51:35.000
And then immediately, three months later, he fights Topuria?
02:51:41.000
As soon as I saw that fight, I was like, Are you kidding me, man?
02:51:48.000
He was probably, you know, before that, he probably felt like, you know, I felt it before.
02:51:56.000
Look, I don't begrudge him for taking that shot.
02:51:58.000
I think the second fight was even the bigger mistake because you had just been flatlined.
02:52:03.000
And now you've got to cut back down and go back out there on such short notice.
02:52:07.000
Right, but no other sport would want a champion to go in there and fight for a title with 10 days notice.
02:52:13.000
They would never ask you to do that anywhere else.
02:52:17.000
It's never going to happen in a million years of boxing.
02:52:22.000
They take advantage of MMA guys because they know we crazy.
02:52:28.000
Plus, all the fighters are still under your control under contract.
02:52:43.000
In hindsight, it was a bad idea, but in his mind, he's thinking, this is an opportunity for me to become a legend.
02:52:52.000
And look, that's what Aspinall did and he won the title.
02:52:56.000
So had that been different for Aspinall, we'd have been like, oh, he shouldn't have took that fight.
02:53:16.000
Sometimes guys step in on short notice and it's exciting and they win.
02:53:24.000
I think with Volkanovski, he was drinking a lot.
02:53:29.000
You saw physically how he looked for the second Islam fight.
02:53:41.000
Because you should be peaking at the right time.
02:53:45.000
So you can say, when people are like, well, you should always be fight ready.
02:53:50.000
You could always be in shape, but that's not fight shape.
02:53:53.000
And you don't know that until you're fucking back into sparring.
02:53:58.000
I think if you're always about four weeks out, that's probably about the right distance.
02:54:02.000
Right, and you get ten days notice, you might be able to pull it out.
02:54:06.000
And if you maintain a respectable level of cardio, but if you're Volk and you're drinking cheeseburgers, and then you've got to lose all that fucking weight.
02:54:20.000
When you're staying away from the pizza and pasta for two months, you're like, oh.
02:54:24.000
Well, everybody says that they develop an eating disorder.
02:54:59.000
And I didn't expect Bobby to shoot, but the second he did, Paddy's got nice jiu-jitsu.
02:55:06.000
And the other thing was, you notice how big he looked, because Bobby's big.
02:55:10.000
Bobby's not a small 55er, and you realize, damn, he might underestimate how big Paddy is at 55. He's fucking pretty big.
02:55:26.000
I expected to see him get tested and he wasn't tested at all.
02:55:30.000
He got an A+. But do you think he's ready for the top guys now?
02:55:34.000
Would you put him in there with an Armand Sarukian?
02:55:37.000
I put him in there with the winner of Moicano and Saint-Denis.
02:55:50.000
Moicano's been going more with his jiu-jitsu lately.
02:56:01.000
And how good is that fucking post-fight interview?
02:56:21.000
everybody's a retard but there's certain things once you get into fam the second he spoke about Leon Edwards dead father it shows you that he's a fucking piece of shit Kobe you're a fucking piece of shit dude I'm down for none of that when Connor was talking about Poirier's wife come on man that's like I'm finding you on the street
02:56:45.000
that's why it's so interesting that a guy like Perea gets as high as he gets with none of that.
02:56:52.000
Well, I mean, it's proof that you don't need it.
02:57:02.000
Like, he shows a sense of humor, you know what I mean, on social media, so I think that endears people to him as well.
02:57:08.000
Bro, and that thing he did when he kicked the soccer ball and then hit it with an arrow?
02:57:14.000
He kicked a soccer ball and then shot it with an arrow.
02:57:24.000
That guy's right out of the Amazon, that motherfucker.
02:57:29.000
I do archery with releases and fucking everything.
02:57:39.000
Because when he screams, imagine being the neighbor and hearing this.
02:57:53.000
And then you watch him on pay-per-view and like, oh Jesus Christ, you can't even complain.
02:57:58.000
You can't even say, hey man, I'm trying to take it now.
02:58:04.000
They don't need that extra fucking whatever it is.
02:58:07.000
Well, he's got the swag with him as just the stoic warrior coming out and shooting an arrow at you and screaming.
02:58:13.000
Well, I mean, at the end of the day, like, people are attracted to violence.
02:58:18.000
And at the end, like, even Robbie Lawler, like, people love Robbie, and he never said, he hated doing it.
02:58:25.000
Talking about wars, him and both Rory McDonald fights.
02:58:35.000
That was a one-way ass-whipping until he uncorked.
02:58:43.000
He was kicking Robbie's leg so bad it was lifting his leg up in the air.
02:58:47.000
He's probably having flashbacks of Pete Spratt.
02:58:59.000
In all these years, this fight was so horrible to watch, man.
02:59:17.000
This is easily the best fight of all time, right?
02:59:33.000
And that's so easy to say, I want one more after that.
02:59:36.000
But he's going to be a great coach too, and I'm sure he is.
02:59:39.000
But he's also a guy like, you want that guy to be proud of you.
02:59:45.000
There's something to that if you're getting coached by a guy like that.
02:59:52.000
You better really know what you want if you're going to do this for a living.
03:00:01.000
He's ready to go to war for the fucking final round.
03:00:08.000
We're going to see some wild ones this weekend.
03:00:10.000
I don't know what's going to happen in the main event.
03:00:12.000
I know you're partial to Merab, but I just don't know what's going to happen.
03:00:28.000
I feel like Sugar is a better striker than Marlon.
03:00:35.000
Like, you can only take so many of those sniper shots from Sugar.
03:00:40.000
And can Merab keep moving and keep threatening and pressure?
03:00:45.000
The argument is, there's one guy who's going to win by taking him down and smashing him, and the other guy's going to win by knocking him out on the feet, and we don't know what's going to play out.
03:00:57.000
The thing that I think that Sean does well, like he got Aljo with it, is, I mean, you know Rob's going to be pressuring because he has to beat him.
03:01:15.000
He does have the ability to fight moving backwards.
03:01:25.000
You know, they knew that Aljo has this tendency to get a little over-anxious and charge in, and he was ready for that.
03:01:32.000
I'm just interested to see if he can capitalize, because if he can't, if Merab can get a hold of him, Merab's just a different kind of Wolverine on top of you.
03:01:39.000
I think he needs one round, mushing him in the fence, just wear him out, kind of like GSP did with BJ. Wear him out a little bit, slow him down a little bit, and then you can put the pace on him.
03:01:51.000
Some guys are afraid of extending too much energy on a takedown.
03:01:58.000
And that same energy you felt in the first, you're going to feel in the fifth.
03:02:13.000
Might be the most important, because what's the difference what you know if you can't get out there and apply it?
03:02:17.000
And Maram's one of them nutty dudes at Spars up until the day of the fight, right?
03:02:32.000
And again, I think that if he doesn't get caught with that perfect shot, he's a hard guy to put away.
03:02:51.000
When he had that P.D. On fight, before that fight got on the table, when they were talking about it, he told me...
03:02:59.000
Until he accepted it, he was like, There's so much pressure in this fight.
03:03:04.000
He goes, you know, the history between Georgia and Russia, he goes, this is not just a fight for me.
03:03:10.000
If I lose this, he was so, the pressure was so much, I can't even tell you.
03:03:17.000
When he took that fight and the way he handled it, he was different in that fight.
03:03:32.000
That was a wake-up call for everybody in the division.
03:03:39.000
And Rob was able to stand with guys like Jan and things, so he's definitely not...
03:03:48.000
And that's part of the problem with the guy who's trying to take you down all the time.
03:03:55.000
But Sean is such a fucking sniper, and he's so agile.
03:04:02.000
Switching stances, fighting just as good off the left as off the right.
03:04:05.000
You can switch stances in the middle of a combination, choose angles.
03:04:09.000
It's just, can he keep that fucking animal off of him?
03:04:32.000
I mean, and boxing's making a little comeback, too.
03:04:34.000
Once Gervonta and Ryan Garcia got it on, now it seems like they're starting to make some more fights.
03:04:46.000
I mean, are they really doing Canelo for 20 bucks or something?
03:04:53.000
Don't quote me, but the prince who runs that Riyadh stuff said he's going to make all pay-per-views $20 because he believes that it would make it more, expose it to more people, grow the audience, we'd still make money, and everybody will be able to watch it.
03:05:09.000
I wonder how many more people would buy it if it's $20 rather than $70.
03:05:18.000
He said if it was that cheap that people would stop pirating.
03:05:37.000
I didn't know they were going to start with Canelo.
03:05:38.000
I thought they were starting with Betterbeef, but that's a fight.
03:05:44.000
They were talking about doing that for like 15 bucks.
03:05:55.000
But he's 39. I don't even watch the fucking boxing, to be honest.
03:05:57.000
I can't watch it after the MMA. I just watch the fights.
03:06:28.000
So you pay for the pay-per-view and then other fights are 20 bucks.
03:06:46.000
When that pops up, I get a kick out of that every time I say that.
03:06:51.000
Gentlemen, tell everybody where they can see your new podcast, and thank you for doing it.
03:06:55.000
Dude, thank you for pushing me and planting that seed in my mind.
03:07:05.000
You're going to see me, Phoenix Carnival, doing X-Men movies.
03:07:08.000
Me and Ray Longo talking about our top five gangster movies.
03:07:18.000
So I knew you was going to ask me this, so I had the Oscar award this shit.
03:07:25.000
You can catch me at the Modern Roads in Hollywood, Florida, or you can catch me on MMA Today on SiriusXM's Fight Nation, Theoretically Speaking on ESPN West Palm, Fight Court on YouTube, Laura Sanko's One-on-One, and I'm also partnering with Valerie Energy Drinks.
03:07:43.000
My film brotherhood is making its way around the film festival circuit, and if you got beef with me, see me in the street.
03:07:57.000
Anybody looking to train any mixed martial arts, it's at B-More MMA. And also Shogun Fights, which we have another show coming up on October the 5th.
03:08:07.000
And I'm getting ready to open a gym, probably within a month or so, called Fit Factory.
