>> TRAIN BY DAY. JOE ROGAN PODCAST BY
NIGHT. All day.
>> Hello, boys.
>> Good to see you.
>> We're back in action.
>> We're back.
>> WE'RE BACK.
>> WE were just talking and I told to get
off. I told Ro, save this for the air
cuz Ro years ago. [ __ ] this had to be
like at least 10 years ago. 20 years
ago,
>> that was like 2006, 2007.
>> Crazy. So 20 years ago, Ro calls me up
and he says, "Tommy Lee wants to meet
you. He wants to talk to you about
something." I go, "Okay, sure." So we go
to see his concert. That was when he was
at Rock and Roll Supernov.
That's right.
>> So you had a TV show in Long Beach,
>> right? Right. It was You and Eddie came.
>> Me and Eddie Bravo came. And then uh
afterwards, first of all, Tommy Lee has
the dopest green room. Like he sets his
green room up like a [ __ ] after hours
party. He's got like tapestries on the
wall and candles and lights. Yeah. You
walk in like damn. Like he doesn't.
>> Yeah. He doesn't just walk into a cold
green room like I'm lazy. If I go on the
road, I just what what's your green
room? I'll go hang out in there. It's
like it doesn't just walk. But he has it
set up like everywhere is like calm and
relaxing and spiritual. And uh so I meet
Tommy and Tommy wants a fight kid rock
in the UFC.
>> THIS
IS THIS is true.
>> What makes people think they can do
this?
>> It's for Pam Anderson's heart.
>> Yeah. This is how this is kind of how it
started. That was that way with Pam.
>> Yeah.
>> Like you know they both were married to
her. So
>> Tommy and her always going to be
connected because of the kids. So, she
had split up with Kid Rock and Kid Rock
was emailing her, texting her, I guess,
you know, still trying to get with her.
Tommy is with her, not together, but you
know, they were together that day. And
he she asked him, you know, you're
friends with him. Can you call him and
tell him to stop calling me and [ __ ]
And Tommy's like, I don't want to get in
the middle of that [ __ ]
>> boy.
>> And she's like, you know, if you know,
please. So he winds up hitting, you
know, him up and like, "Look, dude, you
know, I don't really want to make this
call, blah, blah, blah." Of course, Kid
Rock took the heat. [ __ ] you. You know,
blah blah. So they're [ __ ] each other
back and forth. Goes away.
Now, there was some MTV Awards thing,
>> okay?
>> And uh actually, let me back up first.
We were in Vegas for a New Year's thing
and there was this rumor that Kid Rock
was supposed to come with his bodyguard
and like and come to Tommy's room and
attack.
>> So me, my man Kimmo, who you know as
well, um you know, we're sleeping in
Tommy's room hoping they show up and uh
of course they go to a different room.
They do go to a room, kick a door in. I
think totally
>> they actually went looking for him for
real.
>> I don't think they went looking for him.
I think it was a big publicity [ __ ]
they sign some autographs and and they
keep it moving.
>> So I'm saying to Tommy, I go, "Yo,
dude." I go, "Fuck him." I go, "You
should fight him on pay-per-view.
Imagine all the money that we make." I
go, "I'll fight his [ __ ] security
guy. Like, we'll [ __ ] make a whole
thing of it." He goes, "Man, that's
brilliant."
>> Oh my god.
>> So I go, "Uh, I go, you know, I'm
telling you." I said, "You should do." I
said, "Look, either you fight him and
you beat him up or he punks out and you
win either way." And he's like, he's
like, "Yeah, yeah, I like this." So, he
talks to his management. Of course, it
just goes by the wayside. Well, they're
having some MTV awards [ __ ] Security's
not allowed on the floor there. They had
their own like c, you know, it was in a
casino. They have security for it. While
he's sitting in there with Pam, Kid Rock
like comes up kind of behind him and
pokes him and Tommy sees him and he goes
to stand up and Kid Rock suckers him
there.
>> He hit him.
>> Yeah. What?
>> And I'm home. My phone is getting blown
the [ __ ] up. Like, what happened with
Tommy? What happened with Tommy? I'm
like, I don't [ __ ] know. Like, I'm
not with him right now. And uh I get a
call, I swear, like 30 minutes later,
and it's Tommy. And he's going, "Fuck
him." He goes, "I'm done with that
[ __ ] I want to fight him. I'm
gonna [ __ ] fight him now. I go, he
goes, I want you to train me. I go, he
goes, I'm going to move you out. I go,
no, you're moving to me. I go, we're not
going to be out here with all your
little [ __ ] ass kissers. I said, if
you're going to do it, you're really
going to do it.
>> Was he working out at all at the time?
>> No. So, um, you know, the only working
out he does is on the drums, which he
does murder. So, um,
>> that is a little bit of arm condition.
That's like a little punchy back. And I
can show you a picture of him with a
choke on me and it's legit like he he
did train with Hian and he I told you
guys he trained some with Billy Blank.
So
>> Billy Blank was I've talked about this
on the podcast. He was a bad
motherucker.
>> He was a one of those like Raymond
Daniels type karate point fighting
character in the early days.
>> He's a guy. He's a typo guy. But we'll
get to that later.
>> We'll get to that. Props to Billy
Blanks. I bring him in and uh and I he I
told him I said, "Look, we're when we're
going to uh Long Beach." I said, "I know
Rogan. I can have him come in and you
can tell him your idea." And he and he
goes, "All right, all right." So, I
bring Joe and Eddie, they meet him. You
he tells Joe he wants to fight him
literally. And Tommy said his uh
sanctuary was his management company at
the time. I don't know if he still is or
not. So, they call Kid Rock's people
supposedly and offer this [ __ ] fight
on pay-per-view and Kid Rock's people
wound up calling back and basically
turning it down saying whoever loses is
ruined for, you know, for life, I guess,
cuz looking like a [ __ ] cuz they both
had the rock and roll tough guy, you
know, image thing.
>> So, uh, so he said that did he say that
in print?
>> That's literally how it how it stopped.
>> Was that in print? Whoever whoever loses
this is ruined or was that correct?
>> No, no, no. That was the that was the
that was that was supposedly the
response from Kid Rock's management to
Tommy's management.
>> That is correct. He would be correct,
you know.
>> Yeah, but if it's a good fight like a
Stefan Bonn and Forest G.
>> Oh my god.
>> Well, that would be different. Then they
both revolutionary that I kind of forget
who won that fight.
>> Stephan Bonner, Forest Griest won that
fight.
>> I know Forest won, but I kind of forget
because the fight was
>> so good. It was that was one of the most
toss up fights of all time. Like who
[ __ ] knows?
>> Dana did the right thing. He contracted
both. We actually talked about it in the
octagon right before he did it.
>> Wow.
>> Did you really?
>> Yeah. Like you should give both these
[ __ ] a bonus. He's like we're
going to do that. I'm like [ __ ] yeah. It
was amazing.
>> Do you think uh if it wasn't for the
Ultimate Fighter it would have died out?
>> Who knows, man? But it was like
lightning in a bottle because there was
another good fight before that. Diego
Sanchez [ __ ] Kenny Florian up, man. It
was that was a oneway beating,
>> but that was Diego Sanchez coming up.
Like people got to see Diego fight too
many fights. They got to see the later
fights. They forgot what a monster Diego
was in his prime. He was audio animal.
>> Question his grappling. I mean, Marcelo
got him, but you know, he he hung with
one of the best of all time.
>> JustinC. Yeah.
>> Is he was a [ __ ]
Listen, man. You can only get hit so
many times.
>> Agreed. And he was at halfway gone
before taking.
>> Well, he was always like this
open-minded weird thinker. Remember he
had that guy that was training him that
you had a little bit of a
>> What about that loser?
>> Joshua Fabia.
>> Yeah, don't mention his name.
>> That guy was demented, man.
>> Well, he had Diego hanging upside down
like
>> Yeah, the video's insane. The video is
insane. But Diego was like super super
open-minded. like he was willing to
believe in magic. He was, you know what
I'm saying? Like he believed in himself
so much that Diego was like and he was
also like doing weird stuff like he
would chew meat and and spit it out. He
would just chew it down like get all the
juices from it and then spit whatever
was left out. He wouldn't swallow the
meat.
>> But he was fun to watch. He'd come out
[ __ ] animal. He was a [ __ ] animal.
Steve Maxwell trained him for uh the
fight with BJ Penn and got him in insane
shape. But unfortunately, that was the
fight where BJ started. That was when BJ
was training with the Marinoviches.
>> He was leaping out of pools.
>> BJ was unstoppable back then. There was
there was a time where I always say,
watch BJ in his prime. I'll put that
dude up against anybody.
>> BJ Prime.
>> There's no doubt. I always say he's the
best for 55 of all time. He was like in
that in that window, right? in that
window when he beat
>> Matt Hughes prime.
>> Yeah, he was a human Wolverine.
>> Yeah,
>> but you did a lot better with him than I
did.
>> I thought he did. You had a championship
caliber jiu-jitsu,
>> you know what I mean? And a guy like him
relies on jiu-jitsu a lot,
>> you know, and but BJ was just the I was
there's two fights, the Kenny for not
I'm sorry, Sean Sher flight. The Shawn
Sharp fight was prime BJ. Prime BJ. And
then what about
that's another one too. But Diego was
like more highly ranked than Joe. Yeah.
Rick Cow Uno. I mean, he was a beast.
>> Matt, look what he did to Matt Hughes
when he took the title.
>> Yeah, he was a beast.
>> Matt Hughes was just like, you're coming
up to my weight class. You know, that
type of thing.
>> He was a Wolverine.
>> That dude would fight people at 200. He
fought Leota Machita 200 lb. That's
crazy. He was a Wolverine. He did good
for about that
>> [ __ ] animal and did real good. Scary
on the feet.
>> Yeah.
>> A natural 55 who fought as low as 45.
Remember he went down to 45 a while.
>> Bro, BJ was a monster in his prime.
>> He was wellrounded too before guys were
super well-rounded. Like he threw hands
well.
>> And if he just had the will to go
through those Marinovich camps every
fight, he would have been unstoppable.
>> Yeah.
>> He just BJ would, you know, he would
just lose his focus a little bit. I
watched a YouTube documentary about like
the rise and trajectory and then the
later years. It was really well done,
but it was all just talking about how
there's this prime BJ and that's when he
was training with the Marinoviches and
incredible conditioning and he could
just go fight and not worry about his
conditioning.
>> Do you think he it wasn't laziness,
right? What What do you think it was?
>> A lot of friends, a lot of party. He's
the king of the island. He's basically
the king of Hawaii. PJ Ben was the king.
Everywhere he would go, people were
like, "It's PJ." I mean, he was a king
in Vegas, man. He in in those prime
years when he was the champ, he was a
huge star. So, I'm sure he's a huge star
in Hilo. He's probably hanging out with
the boys all the time, having a good
time.
>> Plus, his family like had influence
there, right? They had like money. He
didn't come from poverty. But, it's just
like that it just was real hard to
maintain those kind of camps. Those
camps are insane.
>> He was also super super talented. And so
it's like he didn't have to work as hard
to still beat up people like in
practice.
>> It definitely came easy. His flexibility
and leg dexterity.
>> Oh my goodness.
>> I remember when I fought him and we were
doing a rules meeting. This is the time
where like we could ask questions like
they did everybody in the rules meeting
and I'm in the rules meeting and Frank
Shamrock was in his corner and Frank's
like, "Are we allowed to in guard kick
him in the head from I'm like what the
how the hell?" like he was talking about
his flexibility just wrapping around the
back of my head and kicking me in the
head from there and I was like what the
hell is this guy insane,
>> right? I was like, how the hell is he
going to be able to kick me in the head
from there? But apparently BJ had that
flexibility to be able to do that behind
his head.
>> He could do double lotus without using
his hands.
>> So like sit back and just [ __ ]
completely cotus.
>> Yeah, like interlocked with no hands.
>> That's insane. nuts.
>> His flexibility is bananas. And he
worked on it. It wasn't just like a
natural gift. But how smart was he to
figure out if you could use your legs
like you could use your arms, they're so
much [ __ ] stronger,
>> right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Look at
this. There he is.
>> That's nuts, man. You know what I'm
saying? He could put his own [ __ ] leg
behind his head with no hands. That's
crazy flexibility.
>> I'd say he was going to kick you while
you were north south.
>> Yeah.
He going to do that. That is nuts. But
if is that legal? No.
>> There's a lot of goofy rules, right?
Like that's there's a I don't think it
would be cool to stomp people in the
head and soccer kick them. But at least
knees to the head should be okay. I
agree with that because if you're
shooting on a single and you're holding
on to it and your head's right there,
that's a stupid place to be in real
life, right? Let's just real life a real
fight. Why wouldn't the guy kne you in
the head? You're grabbing his knee. If
he's you're you're all right here, all
he has to do is knee you in the face and
he can't do it because you're on your
knees.
>> And let's be fair, like a knee when
somebody's on their feet is worse than
that.
>> Yes.
>> You know what I'm saying? Like that's
not way more behind it.
>> Yeah. That's not as like if if if you're
on the floor, I kne you in the head,
that's still not as bad as if me just
kneing you right in the face with on
Yeah.
>> Well, especially if you're the Michael
Venom Paige fight,
>> the cyborg cyborg. Yes.
If you ever want to know like what's the
most destructive strike in MMA?
>> Yeah.
>> The most amount of power you can
generate has got to be a knee.
>> A flying knee
>> while guy's coming in when the guy's
like shooting in on you.
>> The only thing I'm I'm not a fan of is
the
>> the kick the jab. [ __ ] the kick to the
knee. Oh,
>> I'm not a fan of that kick. Yeah. Like
you saw what happens if if you hit it
right when Khalil did it.
>> He did.
Yeah. Modest. Like my my opinion there
is it's just something that if you hit
it right, it's it's an injury coming and
and not a good one. You can't tap. It's
not like a knee bar or something. So I
kind of think if you can't kick a guy in
the side of the knee for that reason,
why should you be able to [ __ ]
>> If you can kick in the knees, you should
be able to kick in the nuts.
>> Yeah,
>> I'm going to be real. I I need What are
we doing here? What are we doing here?
We're pretending. Like wear a cup and I
can kick you in the nuts. There's some
good cups out there.
>> Always get a steel one. It's crazy. Like
why why do we have some weird rules like
that?
>> Yeah, it's crazy because like every time
somebody gets kicked in the nuts, you
say it. You always say it. Why don't you
get a steel cup? The fact that no one
has a steel cup to me
>> after all this time is unbelievable.
>> Code and it's ultimate cheap code in in
gu in grappling to somebody
on remember air ranardi.
>> Yeah. Yeah. That's a long time ago.
>> Yeah. A long time ago. trained with him
at uh Legends and he mounted me and he
put his cup in my solar plexus like I
was ready to tap from his dick.
>> All right, imagine imagine my two 265
doing that. You know what I mean? And I
always wore when I trained, you know,
>> as a lever for an arm bar like a knee
bar or anything. How you going to slide
your elbow past that? You know, it's a
weird [ __ ] look when the guys wear
the whole spandex and they have that
steel cup. So, they got like a big
[ __ ] dick in their
>> Shy Carter cup.
>> Yeah, it's [ __ ]
>> That's a Yel Romero.
>> You remember? Yeah, right. Remember that
Shonyy Carter? I think Eddie [ __ ]
talked about it for the entire fight. It
was a King of the Cage fight and Shy was
fighting and he had a giant cup on and I
swear Eddie just commentated about the
size of the cup. It was hilarious.
>> Bro, in the taekwond do days they had
ones you'd put on over your pants. So
you put you'd have your ghee pants on
and then you'd put these ones on over it
and it had like this big strap. It go
right up to your taint like right
literally to your [ __ ] and then go
all the way up like this and you would
strap it in. But it was way better. It
was way better cuz you had a boxing cup.
>> No, it was a taco. It was just for
taekwondo. It was just literally
designed to wear outside of And that's
when I realized like oh you can never
wear regular cups. Like regular cups
move too much. It's just sitting there
and sometimes your nut gets caught
between the cup and your leg when you
get hit there. It's way worse.
>> And I think maybe the UFC should make
that mandatory.
>> 100%. If you have to wear a mouthpiece,
why don't you wear compression shorts?
Wear those like the diamond MMA ones.
>> That's a cup I have. I like
>> legit. Legit. And if you don't want to
wear steel, that's fine. You don't want
to have dental floss up your [ __ ]
on.
>> It's uncomfortable. But that's I would
think if I was advising someone, I'd say
get a [ __ ] steel cup before they
outlaw it
>> cuz they should have a long time ago.
>> You should have to wear that though. I
mean, it would it would eliminate all
the nut shots.
>> If you're smart, you would wear a steel
cup 100%. Somebody kicks you in the
nuts, it'll hurt them more than hurts
you.
>> Like, it protects you from everything.
>> It's uncomfortable. That's all it is.
Just uncomfortable. So,
>> I mean, so is fighting.
>> Yeah. Yeah. So is fighting. So is
getting kicked in the nuts. Yeah. Dude,
I can't believe it's legal. I really I
It's like one of the How do you have
steel in there?
>> But I don't think anybody has a bunch of
guys do. DC wore it every fight he had.
>> Oh [ __ ]
>> dude. It's You imagine a guy diving on a
double and you hip into him,
>> man.
>> You're slamming his face with your dick.
Your dick is in metal.
>> Your dick's covered in metal. And that's
legal. You have to have pads on your
knuckles. Right.
>> You have to have pads on your knuckles
and you got an armor plate over your
[ __ ]
>> Yeah, I would I would definitely wear
that if I was fighting. Yeah,
>> I'm selling them.
>> Why not? I'm just selling them on my
website
>> because it's like there's no way that
should be legal.
>> Yeah.
>> Like how is that legal?
>> I don't know. I
>> It's [ __ ] metal.
>> You're bringing metal into the equation.
A foot can hit metal. A knee can hit.
>> You can do that and no and the fact that
no one does it. It's not well a few guys
do it. We were talking about different
guys who done it that that are currently
doing it and I know DC did it but
there's a few guys who still do it and
we were talking about it on one of the
broadcasts. I don't remember which guys
he was pointing out but there's a few
guys Kenny Florian always wore a steel
cup
>> but the fact that not everyone
for sure%
>> dang it's [ __ ]
>> you here when Degrad starts talking
Thai.
>> No he speaks fluent Thai. Does he
really? He's got that he's like a guinea
from from east from Boston. When when he
talks he can talk to Thai people, it
freaks them out.
>> Really?
>> Oh yeah, man. He spent a lot of time in
Thailand.

have assigned coaches and he would just
work with us like anytime we needed him.
Yeah.

Little Ras.
>> That's awesome. He's a He's a
deceptively fast dude.
>> Yeah, he's athletic, you know, for big
dude.
>> When I first met him, he was jacked.
Like he was like he wasn't as big as he
got at one point in time, but he's
always kind of seesawed back and forth,
but he was a karate guy.
>> He was always doing karate when he was
younger.
>> Yeah, he's super athletic.
>> There he is.
>> It doesn't look as good there.
>> I think that's when he was just getting
into it, honestly. But he had he was he
had Delgate staying with him a while and
Delicate was training him.
>> Yeah, I saw him in Kill Cliff just like
blending in with the guys like he wasn't
like standing out. He was just at
Killcliffe training. Yeah, blending in
with the guys. He's a great guy. I've
known him forever.
>> I just seen him in either Becky or the
Wrath of Becky.
>> Oh yeah, that's not a bad show.
>> He plays a psycho
>> and the girl in it is great. It's like
the girl is like a little psycho girl.
>> That's a fun movie.
>> It's fun. really fun. I think it's the
first one called Becky and he plays a
villain. He plays uh
>> um the other guy that did it was Joel
McCale.
>> Joel Male played the the second psycho
in one of the other movies. I forget was
either the first or the second one.
>> I think he's in the second one, The
Wrath of Becky.
>> Kevin was awesome.
>> These are good. These are good movies.
>> Kevin played a good psycho.
>> Hey, did you ever see the the Night of
the Seven Kingdoms?
>> No, I haven't seen that yet. I'm telling
you. I'm going to watch it though
because I'm in the middle of finishing
the first season of game the first year
the first all Game of Thrones.
>> What? You're doing it over?
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> Oh, you've seen it already?
>> But I haven't seen it since like 2015 or
11.
>> It's [ __ ] amazing. I forgot so much.
>> It's [ __ ] awesome.
>> This you don't even have to watch any of
the Game of Thrones cuz this takes place
90 years before the first events of the
Game of Thrones.
>> Sir Duncan the Tall and it is so good.
So well done and it's based on the novel
I'm a [ __ ] nerd. I I read the graphic
novel of it by uh George RR Martin.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> And I read it back in the day and it was
it's so great
>> and you know how they have like trial um
by combat.
>> Yeah.
>> In this one, not to give everything
away, but he this guy gets into it and
he has to do a trial by seven. So it's
seven on seven nights. Y
>> and it's like one of those thing. He's a
hedge knight. It's it's [ __ ] really
good. What I like about it is
>> Did you ever watch the House of the
Dragon?
>> Yes.
>> It's a lot of cool [ __ ]
>> but there's no one to root for. They're
a bunch of pricks. Who's one's worse
than the other?
>> I mean, back in in Game of Thrones, Jon
Snow, we had, you know, um Ned Stark
doing even some guys that are,
>> you know, even just great characters and
some guys that are on like the Hound
who's do like the anti-hero. But with
this one, it's just a [ __ ] good solid
dude trying to do the right thing. Y
>> and uh and he and by trying to do the
right thing, he gets into, you know,
into some trouble and it's just it gives
you like it's like
>> like being righteous and have like real
heroics like you know what I mean? Like
some [ __ ] that that's missing nowadays
because it's all about getting a [ __ ]
message in there or making [ __ ] diverse
which I love though. Stop. You know
what's really funny about that?
>> Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones was
like a feminist series
>> if you if you really think about it.
>> I mean, really was
>> but but without any fanfare. Like no
bringing it up. No one paid attention to
it. But the baddest people on that show
were the women. Cersei Lannister was the
baddest [ __ ] in the world. Ara Stark
[ __ ] killed everybody. Santa kept it
together through all that [ __ ] Brianna
of Tar [ __ ] everybody up, including
the hounds.
The most feminist.
>> Yes. And you got Daenerys, the queen of
dragons, who's the baddest [ __ ]
on earth. You literally can't burn her.
And she's got three dragons.
>> It's a feminist series. I didn't even
realize it. It is. It's a completely
feminist series, but without
>> It never even crosses.
>> Doesn't cross your mind cuz it's so
good. You don't care. It's not It's not
like dumb. It's You have to watch that
Dean.
>> No, I Yeah. And House of Dragons is the
same way,
>> right? Like there's some of these like
Star Wars movies where it's all women
generals and you're like, "Shut the [ __ ]
up. Shut the [ __ ] up."
>> And all the men are scared of them and
they all like get out of the room. Like
this is fiction, right? This is
nonsense.
>> Even though that's obviously fiction,
too. It's way better.
>> A lady that has dragons, the hottest
[ __ ] around, she's got dragons. She she
[ __ ] a bunch of killers.
>> She brings them into her bed.
>> Well, because they do a good job of
making barbarians.
>> Well, they do such a good job of making
them flawed that you don't even realize
that they are the baddest [ __ ]
in the world, but they're so but they're
flawed in a way where it's like it makes
them human.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> I mean, look at Cersei Lannister. All of
her kids gone. That [ __ ] survives.
She's got a giant demon that watches
over her, right? Like
>> she's in love with her brother. She
[ __ ] her brother and her brother.
Remember when she had the Well, I don't
spoiler alert when she had that uh the
the priest that tortured her while she
was in the cell when they finally got
her.
>> Yeah.
>> And she's like, "I'm ready to meet my
maker." She's like, "Oh, you're not
going to die today."
>> And then the
[ __ ]
>> Oh my god.
>> Oh, dude.
>> That was such a horrifying scene.
>> It was such a great show, though. Is
there a better like world universe than
that? No one was safe on that show. You
never knew the the biggest character
could just get [ __ ] merked at like
the next episode.
>> Pedro Pascal that played that was his
character
when he got killed by Prince Ador.
>> First of all, I never thought they would
kill him. Like that guy's an important
character. He's bringing all this new
life to the show and all a sudden you
see the mountain get his knuckles into
that guy's eyeballs and crushes. That
was so crazy. Holy [ __ ] That was like
one of the most disturbing murder scenes
you've ever seen in your life.
>> And he was doing great. He was taking a
[ __ ] out of him. He got too cocky.
>> Worked him over.
>> Thought he had him.
>> You raped her. You murdered her. You
killed our children. Some [ __ ] like
that. He kept repeating it.
>> Yeah. And strutting around with the
mountains on his back.
>> They are.
What a crazy show. Such a good show. One
of the greatest shows of all time.
>> I'm telling you, you got to text me
after you watch The Night of the Seven
Kingdoms cuz it's all out. You could
binge it. to it as soon as we're done
with this. We're on like season seven
now.
>> Six episodes
>> and each each episode's like 30 minutes.
>> You run through it.
>> The House of Dragons never really
dragged me in.
>> It did. It was interesting. You know, it
was like I liked it,
>> but it wasn't the same thing.
>> Definitely not. This I think this the
new one is in my opinion better. I
thought
>> Oh, the C the
seven kingdoms.
>> There's parts in it that just get you
GOING LIKE [ __ ] YEAH. YEAH. YEAH. Hell
yeah. I'm looking forward to I hope they
lengthen it a little bit. You know what
I'm saying? Six half hour episodes.
>> But I love the relationship between the
kid and the whole
show, right? One thing I did love about
House of Dragons when they were trying
to figure out who could ride a dragon.
>> Oh, that was cool.
>> And they brought all those people down
there to test them.
>> You have to have some Targaryen blood.
And a lot of the Targaryenss [ __ ] a
lot of regular people. So they were
searching for Targaryen blood, just
taking people out of the pub and just
push them in front of the track. That
was crazy.
>> She first they asked the uh one of the
king's guard like you know we tracked
you back to whatever and he's like oh
it's a great honor. No, I want to do it.
Yeah, buddy. Careful what you wish for,
[ __ ]
>> That scene was herself.
>> That scene was nuts,
>> dude. The red the red wedding. [ __ ]
that was the craziest [ __ ] ever.
>> You couldn't believe it was happening
while it was happening. Like this can't
>> cuz they were taking everybody
happening. This can't be happening. Did
you hate the ending as much as as
everybody?
>> I did not enjoy it. It felt to me like
they had to tie it up and like nice bow.
You know, I would have been almost
better if it was like no country for old
men style ending.
>> I think all all shows should be like
that because life continues afterwards,
right?
>> You don't have to tie it in 12.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Once it got past the books, it took a
hit.
>> Yeah.
>> Well, that guy's a genius. I mean, the
the world that guy created and the
complexity of all the characters like
Tyrion Lannister and Tywin Lannister and
>> Oh my god, good.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah, man. I mean, that guy was so
[ __ ] good, man.
>> They're already doing the the uh Sworn
Sword, which is the second book of uh
Game of Thrones of uh the Dunkin Egg
Tales.
>> Oh, nice.
>> Awesome.
>> That's that's his writing, too.
>> That's his Yeah, he did another one.
>> He did three books. It was uh a night of
the seven kingdoms which they just did.
They're going to do a sworn sword and
then it's the mystery night. I don't
know anything but I know a lot of Game
of Thrones [ __ ]
>> Don't ask me about
>> Game of Thrones and Star Wars. You're my
go-to.
>> The world's so [ __ ] up. You're way
better off with that stuff in your head.
>> That's why I do it, man. It's such an
escape, man. Just to sit home and watch
TV.
>> That's all I do, man. Sit home and watch
TV.
>> Speaking of Star Wars, I got a a text
out of nowhere from uh from George St.
Pierre. He loves it as much as me. Oh
yeah,
>> it was just about the new Darth Maul
animated series.
>> Oh no, he I swear to God.
>> And then he gave me back a report. He
told me he's like, "Oh, it's so far so
good." This
>> I told you my brother My brother's like,
"I know Matt's in Star Wars. Tell him
watch the new Darth Maul." You know,
Jamie says,
>> "It's fun." I I love George. He's He's
the best.
>> I have the hardest time convincing
people who he is. It's hilarious. What
do you mean? Like when people when he
comes to the mothership and people that
don't know anything about MMA, they're
like, "What does your friend do?" I go,
"That is one of the greatest fighters
that ever walked the face of the earth."
>> You're like, "No, for real." I go,
"Yeah, 100% in everybody's list of one
of the greatest of all time."
>> And he's like, "Hello, nice to meet
you." He just seems so sweet and
friendly.
>> Man, that's the problem with MMA is that
like you have to convince people about
how bad somebody was. And it wasn't that
long ago. I mean, it wasn't that long
ago that George St. Pierre was the
[ __ ] greatest of all time.
>> No, it wasn't that long.
>> And now, but the fans are so new that
you they don't get it. They don't go
back and watch it.
>> They had to watch like go back and watch
the John Fitch fight.
>> Oh man,
>> prime GSP. Prime. He was terrifying.
>> Incredible gas tank. Great flow between
grappling and striking. You very
creative.
>> He put that [ __ ] together the best.
That's why he had such success taking
everybody down. Like his he would set it
up his level change and he always he ran
through every takedown. It was never
he was going to run you across the cage.
>> George was phenomenal. And then I think
Farasah Hobby was a big part of that
too. Farasah Hab is a bad [ __ ]
>> Yeah, he's smart.
>> You ever watch his YouTube breakdowns of
>> sometimes? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's he's
incredible.
>> Very astute. He's so knowledgeable of
the game of every aspect of it. You
know,
>> his brother is doing well.
>> Yeah. His brother's fighting at the
White House.
>> He's fighting Shaun Ali and I think
people are sleeping on him.
>> Well, listen, he keeps winning.
>> Yeah,
>> he keeps [ __ ] winning. the the one
fight that he had that was kind of a
little controversial was Aldo. Remember
Aldo almost had
>> I don't Yeah, for sure. I'm not sure he
won that fight because I think they're
not being generous enough with the 108s
in the 107s.
>> They don't do it enough.
>> Not enough. There's When a guy just
tunes you up for like a minute and a
half of the round and you almost go
unconscious, you know, like that that
means a lot. I hate the fact that they
don't use it enough all because like
Dana was like, "Oh, I don't like it."
>> And now the judges are just like, "No,
we can't do it because
>> listen, the scoring system sucks because
we stole it from boxing. It's not it
doesn't have enough points
>> for sure.
>> It should be like a you should get like
a certain amount of points for different
things, but it would be really hard to
calculate
>> because it would be have to be
subjective. Like if Pereira hits you,
it's way harder than if someone's like,
you know, Paul Craig, like no
disrespect, but you know what I'm
saying, the consequences are very
different. So if he hits you with a left
hook, it's different than if Pereira
hits you with a left hook. So that's
subjective. But in terms of like what
happens in the fight, you should be
counting in submission attempts. You
should be counting in takedown attempts,
like who was more aggressive, who is
more defensive, who who's implemented
their STR. You should have like a 100
points to work with.
>> Absolutely. cuz he got 10 points. Why
are we only using two of them? It's nine
and a 10. Why?
>> It don't make any sense cuz there's 10
nine rounds that are like uh could be
anybody. And there's 10 N rounds where
he dominated.
>> That's well see like UFC BJJ uses that
and it works better for that because
they're very liberal with the 108s and
107s. They use it a lot. They're like if
it's if it's close it's a 109. If it's
one-sided it's automatically a 108.
>> So they use more sense.
>> That does make more sense. But even in
BJJ, I would say you'd need more points.
You need like it's like the difference
between a 7030 round where a guy's
dominating you 70% of the time and a
5149 round is [ __ ] huge.
>> It's huge and it doesn't reflect it in
the scorecards at all. So like you could
win a 109 round in the first round where
it's like you're barely ahead like maybe
I'll give it to you and then the second
round that dude [ __ ] you up and he gets
a 109 round cuz you didn't go down.
>> Yeah. But he's headkicking you and
you're blocking it. You're getting
teepped. Your legs are getting kicked
all the time. It's still a 10- nine
round. That's some That's nuts. No,
>> just because you didn't go unconscious,
just cuz you didn't get knocked down.
>> I think it's my ADD's kicking in. But
we're talking about the close calls,
close scoring. I thought Aljo
>> I thought he should have got that nod
against [ __ ]
>> I thought so too. I thought I didn't
think there was
>> the guy got on one reversal at the end
like a minute 30 left and Aljo was
winning that whole first round.
>> Aljo is a nightmare for a grappling
expert.
>> He could be undefeated at 140.
>> He's a nightmare because if your whole
thing is grappling with people and you
got to grapple with Aljo, you got
problems.
>> That dude gets your back. He's got
>> he's got
>> I mean him and 10 108 round like he was
just on his back dominated round and
they don't and no how is that not a 108
round? He's fighting Yousef uh Salon, I
said.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yousef's allowed. And that's
on the 25th of April. But I mean, but I
think, you know, if it hits the ground,
I think there's levels to this.
>> Yeah.
>> Did Did Aljo over Yan in the second
fight, was that like the best anybody's
ever done with Yan?
>> Yeah. No doubt.
>> His control is just so good when it hits
the floor. That's the difference between
him and Morav. Morav keep getting you
down and up, down, up. Aljo hits the
floor.
>> Yeah. You're not even He just needs back
exposure. He's one of those some guys
they can't jump up on the back. It's not
good for them. They're going to get
tired, dude. All day long he'll just go
up there, lock that [ __ ] on, and if he
doesn't get you, that's his round. Like
he's the Sanhagen fight was what a
masterpiece. Masterpiece.
>> His grappling is so so good.
>> Yeah, he doesn't get proper credit.
>> No, his back takes some of the best in
the in the sport, period.
>> Man, they're not a big fan of his. They
don't push I I feel SUCH A NICE GUY.
>> I KNOW. He does everything right. I
think it's the one fight with the neck
that was I think that was turned
everybody against him.
>> Those people are wrong. But look what
happened was [ __ ] up. Look what
happened in the seconded.
>> I mean he should have validated the
entire thing by whooping his ass in the
second fight.
>> But they had already decided they hate
him stuck on it. They already he had to
get his [ __ ] disc replaced. It was
real. It was a real [ __ ] injury.
>> He should be he could be un he could be
a two-time champ a double division
champ. I mean, he's in my mind, he's
undefeated at 145. Look what he did to
Calvin Kedar, which was Calvin Kater is
a beast. But
>> it was, if you didn't know Calvin Kater,
if that's your first fight seeing him,
you' be like, "Oh, that guy doesn't
belong here," which he obviously does.
He's a beast.
>> But Ala was masterful.
>> He know what it is. He's good at not
getting hit. So it's like he's not
giving you that back and forth cuz and
and Longo says you've seen 20% of what
he could do stand up and standing up
like I'd ask him something with his He's
like he could put his foot wherever he
wants it like about a kick or something.
He's he's just really really talented
man. I hope he gets his shot if he takes
out uh you know uh Yousef. I hope he
they give him a shot again cuz I think
he could be a two-time champ.
>> He Well, listen, he's still a bad
[ __ ] like he's he's a nightmare
for everybody,
>> especially if he gets a hold of you. But
I mean,
>> people look at the one fight losses.
They look at the Shawn Ali fight. Like
Shawn caught him perfect. That's just
how
>> And you know, he his head wasn't really
in that cuz he didn't even want to be
there.
>> Nope.
>> Why didn't he want to be there?
>> He fight They made him fight that fight.
He didn't want to fight.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. They they did like a whole
documentary on it where it was like they
they they kind of twisted his arm to
like you got to do this and they were
>> injured. I think he was injured.
>> There was a quick turnaround. It was too
quick a turnaround. He's the champ. He
didn't feel he should be forced into,
>> you know,
>> but he thought the number he thought
they he thought the pay-per-view numbers
was going to make up for it. He thought
he's going to get all this money from it
because he was like, "All right, I'll do
it. Sean Ali is going to bring in the
numbers." Then he said when it was over,
he saw the numbers. He was like, "If I
knew the numbers was going to be like
this, I don't think I'd have did it."
>> Yeah. Really?
>> Yeah.
>> So, it didn't do well.
>> It didn't do as well as he thought he
was going to do based on Shawn Ali's
presence.
>> Listen, man. It It takes a lot to get
people to pay for something today.
There's too much money to steal it.
>> This Paramount thing is genius in that
regard is that all you have to do is
have that app, which a lot of people
have already anyway.
>> Yeah,
>> that's genius. But to make people pay
every time to to watch fights, like
there's so much to watch today.
>> Well, that Well, that was the one thing
that my people at ESPN told me. They was
like, "It's a big difference between
being popular and then having people pay
to watch you fight."
>> Yeah.
>> Like you can be popular, but ain't
nobody paying you paying you to fight.
>> So, it's a big difference.
>> It's a giant difference.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. It's a giant difference.
>> I like that it's on Paramount as a fan,
though.
>> Save save you a ton of money. I pay I
used to pay for every one of them. This
Netflix thing is nice, too. It's good to
see that there's like someone who's
willing to throw a lot of money at MMA
in another large arena, you know, like
Netflix.
>> What do you do, guys? Cheetah vers
Ronda.
>> I I think round one submission Ronda.
>> Yeah.
>> Unless she wants to try to just stand up
with her, which I doubt. I hope not. I
don't know what Gan has been doing, you
know. I don't know how long she went
without MMA training at all. You know,
>> she was recently a little heavy. I can
say that. She'll be great now.
>> Does she look great now?
>> Look, she got in great shape.
>> She got in great shape.
>> She's still like 43 years old.
>> No, but the question is like what was
she doing in those? Was she still
training some? That would be my real
question because if you just put it all
down and you walk away for 17 years, I
got to go.
I mean, but with the with the weight
loss, with the weight gain that she had,
there was no way she was training or
doing anything. That's what I'm saying.
Like, she's back in shape and she
obviously is busting her ass to do that.
But how long, like you're saying, was
she down
>> and she has to develop a a a grappling
defense to one of the best female
grapplers ever. No, Ronda's leg. Her
only hope is to keep it on the street.
>> Guard on her and I sweep. She would pull
guard and sweep her or arm lock her. Her
arm locks her. Her arm locks are
amazing. Her arm locks are amazing.
>> They're preposterous,
>> you know. I think there's too many
>> dude or chick. Her arm bars.
>> Remember that cat zingo fight? Cat
charged at her. Cat threw her. That was
the craziest.
>> Got her an arm bar like instantaneous.
Stupid strategy that was.
>> Yeah, she blanked out on that one.
>> So crazy. That was such a sick
transition, too. No, but I saw a video
of Gina hitting pads with John Wood that
was kind of recent and it did not look
good.
>> How recent was it doing?
>> I don't know. I don't know. But it
didn't look good. I was just like,
>> it's hard to tell.
>> I hope it's I hope this is older.
>> She's a big girl. Maybe she can stop her
from taking her down or something.
>> But also, it's also what were they
doing? Were they just working on slow
motion [ __ ] Were they just trying to
get a movement or were they getting in a
hard mitt workout? You know what I'm
saying? I mean, either way, like just
like mechanically it didn't look great
>> mechanically. So, I mean, but it could
have been it's like one of them things
where like this could be like her her
comeback session and she's just trying
to get warmed up. But, who knows? I
mean, you know, who knows? Maybe she's
Who knows? You just never know. I hope
so. Yeah. I hope it's better than that.
Round one submission.
>> I mean, probably probably right.
>> I mean, come on. I bet you know, if you
had Poly Market, you can make some money
on that, right?
just like there's going to be a lot of
bets on that. It's uh it's it's exciting
though that that Netflix is doing it.
That's what I like. I like that there's
another place people can go.
>> It'll raise.
>> But how sustainable is this though?
That's my biggest question.
>> Whoever's putting the money up for this
is going to lose their ass. I think you
think they're going to make that money
back,
>> right? But here's the thing. It's
Netflix,
>> right? So Netflix has an insane amount
of money and they keep raking it in.
Like every month people are paying
whatever they're paying. It's as high as
like what 19 bucks for ad free. What is
it? How much is a Netflix account now?
>> I want to say it's higher.
>> I think it just went up, right? Yeah.
>> So going all that money is just coming
in every month. They just got to give
people exciting things to want to watch
and they'll keep making more money
because more people use Netflix. Like it
would seem like they're going to lose
their ass, but they're not
>> because they have a completely different
business model. Obviously I'm not a
businessman. $8.99 to 26.99 per month.
I'm a ter I'm in fact I'm a terrible
businessman. But I would imagine you'll
just make money by giving people awesome
[ __ ] so they keep tuning into Netflix.
So in that sense they're not going to
lose any money because there's a lot of
MMA fans that probably subscribe to
Netflix just so they can watch that
fight,
>> right?
>> So who's on the card now? It's like
Felipe Lind versus Inanu.
>> Yeah. Mike Perry versus Nate Diaz,
>> right?
>> Oh, and Robelis to Spain.
>> Yeah.
Yeah. And uh Junior Dos Santos.
>> That one. That one is like
>> Who's it?
>> Roella Desp.
>> That tall karate combat dude.
>> He's a taekwond do black belt from Cuba.
>> Wait, was Junior?
>> Yeah. How old's Junior?
>> He's 50 now.
>> Is he 50?
>> No, he's close. But he's in good shape.
I actually did a We spoke at a high
school a couple of months ago. Yeah.
>> I'm glad to hear that.
>> I mean, at least these guys get an
outlet to make some extra money.
>> Yeah, man. And who doesn't
Adriana Moray is a you know that's a
Mogay is probably going to school him
but I mean it's they got some they're
giving guys some opportunity so you got
to like this.
>> Absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely. It'll be a
big show. A lot of people will tune in.
Diaz and Perry's going to be [ __ ]
bananas. That'll be really fun to watch.
>> Yeah, that's I mean that'll be worth the
price of admission. Imagine if that was
10 years ago. That fight would be
>> I'm looking at this. It's like if the
GLA
went to [ __ ] it came came true.
[ __ ] remember that grandpa league
that was not everybody.
>> It just stole all their talent,
>> bro. Diaz versus Perry. Guaranteed dog
fight.
>> Just a guaranteed dog fight. That will
not be
>> Who do you think wins?
>> I think the jiu-jitsu is going to be too
much. I think
>> I kind of think that too. I kind of
think Nate might just drag him deeper,
right?
>> I think we're going to see. You know,
we're going to see.
>> Oh, it's five rounds. Five rounds.
>> That's crazy. Five rounds is crazy. I
wonder why they agreed on that.
>> Interesting.
>> Why do you think they agreed?
>> I didn't realize that.
>> Is the Gina fight five rounds or is it
three rounds?
>> Three. When they first announced it said
five by five for everything, but they've
changed a bit.
>> So, it says five.
>> Yeah, just for those two though. This
one does not.
>> And it also says these are the main
event.
>> I mean, I can't imagine
five rounds.
>> Well, actually, it does. There it does.
It says it real. It's hard to see it.
>> Yeah. 5x5 professional. Yeah. Okay,
>> bro. Loren Larkin back in the day.
>> I remember he fought Neil Magny. Was
hitting him with oblique kicks to the
chest and I was like, I do not think
I've ever seen anybody throw it that
way.
>> You ever see that fight?
>> No, I don't remember that fight.
>> He tuned Neil Magny up and Loren Larkin
was a bad [ __ ]
>> I do remember that. Like he had he had a
good little run. He was so his striking
was elite. Yeah.
>> And he would he when he fought Neil
Magny, he you know Neil Magny's a tough
[ __ ] dude, man. Durable. Incredible
discipline and endurance. Like that
dude's never out of shape.
>> And he was just getting too Look at
this.
>> I mean, he's throwing an oblique kick to
the ribs. That one there, he just hit
his arm and knocked him down with it.
But earlier before that, he caught him
on the rib cage with it. Look at that.
Look at that, bro. That's crazy.
>> He gave him a spot. Damn.
>> That's the second look at it. But right
here, you're seeing him. He's blasting
him with this
>> kick that nobody throws like that.
That's a crazy position to put your hips
in.
>> That is crazy,
>> bro. He's He was sharp.
>> How did this one end?
>> He stopped him.
>> Oh, did he?
>> Yeah.
>> Oh [ __ ]
>> Yeah. Loren was all over him, man. It
was a like one of the prime performances
that I've seen of him fight.
>> Yeah, he had a good little run. He had a
great a great run but in during that run
and this was like he came from Bellator
right.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. And when he came over from
Bellator it's like he was still like red
hot like red hot.
>> Some Yeah. Two guys that were in
Bellator which is uh Pit Ball and Aaron
Pico.
>> They're getting ready to fight in this
weekend.
>> How much time do you think a guy like
Pico is supposed to take off after
Lrone?
>> We we were just talking about that cuz I
love his offense man. And he's a little
raging bull
>> animal
>> and strong powerful.
>> He just got caught. And he got caught
perfect. I mean, it was just perfect.
That spinning elbow.
>> I think he got stopped more than Did he
get stopped more than once with a bad
knockout like that?
>> Yeah. Best fight ever.
>> You don't want to go through your
>> The kid from um Kill Cliff.
>> Uh Adam Bur.
>> Adam Burks.
>> Yeah, he got him with a flying knee.
>> With a flying knee. Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Damn, dude. You don't want too many of
those.
>> That's right.
>> But those put him out, man. Like you
just see him just go boop.
>> Yeah. That Macy Barber won the other
day.
>> Oh, dude, that was
>> one of the greatest finishes in women's
MMA history.
>> Oh, no doubt. I wanted to reach out to
Macy cuz I felt so bad. I wanted to
reach out to the doctor and say, "What
the [ __ ] are you think?" He's just over
like
a [ __ ]
>> So crazy.
>> Yeah. He's like I'm LIKE, "GET SOME
SMELL." I'M LIKE, "Somebody the
cameraman please get off this or
somebody talk to the doctor cuz I don't
know what the fuck." He was just over
like, "Man, this is [ __ ] up. I don't
think he knew exactly what was going on.
He probably has no experience in combat
sports, right? He didn't realize that
she got knocked out and while she was
out cold, she got strangled.
>> She transitioned so fast.
>> Like, she's out there. She's out cold
already and then she gets strangled.
Like, that's never happened before.
>> What's crazy is she was
>> Look at the way he kind of still
reacting and then when they put her on
her back, she just it was
>> she went limp as she was trying to sit
up. She went limp. You see right there?
like she was trying to get up and then
as the guy has his arm around her, she
goes limp,
>> dude.
>> See, there's like there's uh sea level
Kane and then there's Southpaw Alexa.
When she fights Southpaw, man, she is
dangerous.
>> Then this confused doctor,
>> right? Never seen this before.
>> Hey,
>> crazy.
>> Look at him.
>> Right. He's like
>> crazy is just Well, she's kind of coming
too there. I think she's blinking.
>> But that was just
>> Holy [ __ ]
>> Why? And the speed that she took her
back. Left hand boop back choke.
Amazing. One shot while she was out.
Still cracked her again. Got her back
and choked her all like a lightning
bolt.
>> That was super.
>> But that's the same combination she hit
Valentina with when she finished her.
>> I feel like five minutes with us sitting
there.
>> Left hand. Boom. Took her back. Took her
a while. It took her longer. But look at
this.
>> So she's in trouble. Bam. Right there.
Out cold and then strangled.
>> I don't think that combination of out
cold and then strangled has ever
happened before.
>> No,
>> cuz I mean she seen Watch this punch
here. That's out cold, right? And then
boom.
>> Sick. Now that's crazy.
>> Crazy.
>> Wow.
>> She's tough, man.
>> Fall backwards in front of you after the
knockdown, you know.
>> Well, so here's the thing. She gets up
and when she gets up I think she faints.
Like I think she tries to get up
>> and then he
Mike puts his arm around her and she's
out.
>> I think she fainted.
>> That's just scary.
>> That's scary. And she also had had some
problems before with seizures.
>> Yeah.
>> She had to pull out of that fight with
uh Aaron Blanchfield. Seizure in the
locker room, right?
>> So they allow they still allow her to
fight even though she's had seizures.
That's pretty crazy. Well, it depends on
what's causing the seizures, right? If
they know it's a medication that she was
on to get her off the medication. Like,
there's I don't know what causes
seizures.
>> Well, that shit's not going to help the
seizures.
>> But it certainly wouldn't make me
enthusiastic about fighting, right? It
would have to [ __ ] with your motivation
if you're already having seizures.
>> I wouldn't want to do it. I
>> Now, now after that,
>> I wouldn't want to do it.
>> Anytime you fight, that's a possibility.
Y
>> and he I mean look at a guy who never
once looked
>> took anything remotely like that like um
Camaro man
>> and even in a fight where he's just
doing so great and then that's the
closest thing I seen to that which is
when he got stopped with that head kick.
>> Yeah.
>> And you know that's a possibility
anytime you make that walk.
>> That's why you got that [ __ ] little
feeling in your
you know before you walk out there. The
Camaro one was nuts too because John
Anick was just saying because DC was
like a lot of people would quit in this
situation and John Anick said something
along the lines of but that is not the
cloth from which
>> I know and then as soon I mean that was
like the most perfect timing ever. like
a movie like it was if you saw that in a
movie like shut up
>> cuz I had just I had just came in and
was like yeah I think he's broke
>> and then DC was saying it and then John
intervened with he's not cut from that
cloth and boom head kick. It was nuts.
>> What is that new Russell Crow's doing a
new MMA movie?
>> Is that Is that going to be Is that
supposed to be the UFC?
>> No, I think 1FC. Yeah. They did it with

lbs. I think that's what he fights at.
And he's like 6'1 and just a laser beam
striker. Just [ __ ] people up. Like
literally might be the best striker in
the world.
>> Is it just kickboxing?
>> Yeah. And he's getting in there with
Muay Thai. He's getting in there with
world Muay Thai champions and KOing
them. Like threetime world Lupini Muay
Thai champions.
>> Damn.
>> Lupini stadium guys. This guy is a
[ __ ] straight killer, dude. And he's
from Dagistan and he can wrestle.
>> Damn.
>> You gotta Let's see if you can find like
a highlight reel of his KOs because this
is just like Get on YouTube and find
>> shot was nasty.

accurate and he's so slick.
>> How old is he?
>> He's 22.
>> Oh, damn.
>> Yeah, man. I'm telling you, this
22year-old cat from Dagistan might be
the best striker on earth right now.
This dude is so impressive. And I'm
telling you, he's doing this to dudes
who are world champions.
>> Oh,
>> he's taking out world champion
kickboxers, world champion Muay Thai
fighters. They're putting him in there
with these [ __ ] assassins. And he
he's making them all go night night.
>> Oh, damn.
>> Oh,
>> bro, you got to see it in real speed
like like you see his real movements.
It's so impressive.
>> Is he withhabib and emo? I don't know
where he's trained in, but he's from
Dagistan,
>> bro.
>> He looks like Zabit.
>> Yes. Like a like a little bit more
robust Zabit.
>> Robust,
>> but it's like it's different. Like Zabit
had more of a you know, he had an
incredible style, but it was almost like
more taekwond do-ish. This guy's pure
Muay Thai, but he just [ __ ] people up,
man.
>> Accurate, too.
>> Oh, he's spin spinning heel kicks,
everything. Knee the body. But it's it's
the combinations, the way he's throwing
them. He just finds these openings on
people with this precision that you're
like, "Motherfucker, man."
>> He keeps the pressure on.
>> He keeps the pressure on, too.
>> He just flatlined folks
>> one after another, flatlining people,
>> man,
>> bro. He's very [ __ ] impressive. And
again, very impressive against world
championship caliber Muay Thai fighters.
>> These are not scrubs that he's fight.
Damn. And one's putting these fights on
all the time. And I was trying to tell
Dana this. I was like, if you guys had
like UFC striking, do you know how
[ __ ] exciting that would be if just
Muay Thai with MMA gloves on?
>> Well, they should do that. They do the
BJ now 100%. They're missing out on a
giant opportunity because how many
people boo when a fight goes to the
ground. Boo.
>> These guys never go to the ground,
>> right?
>> It's just all
>> And kickboxing is so much more brutal
than than boxing.
>> Way more brutal.
>> It just didn't get a fair shake in
America.
>> It's not that it's not exciting. It's
the most exciting aspect of the UFC
other than a great submission like Alexa
Graco after a knockout. That's like the
most exciting.

to stand it up, take a point away from
them, maybe then you stand them up.
>> Yeah. Like you can't you shouldn't
reward a guy for having like [ __ ]
defense.
>> If the dude on the bottom is the one
that failed, put them back where they
were. Don't reward.
Right. Right. Right. Yeah. Definitely.
But other than that, why are you letting
people stand up?
>> Why? Guy had to work so hard to get him
to the ground. Maybe he's taking a break
for a couple seconds to catch his
breath.
>> Yeah.
>> You know, like what the [ __ ] do you
want?
>> Like figure out how to get up.
>> Yeah.
>> Bottom people just have to be better.
>> Also, you know what how to fix that?
Here's how you fix that. Knees to the
head to a downed opponent.
>> Absolutely. Absolutely. And then it's
like it's all out of the wrestlers then
wrestlers become super [ __ ]
dangerous.
>> Man, Mark Coleman won the Grand Prix
with that [ __ ] Didn't you see the
smashing machine? Did you like the
Smashing Machine?
>> I did. I did. It was good.
>> I did. I thought The Rock was amazing. I
thought like his acting like like you
didn't think it was The Rock,
>> you know?
>> I haven't seen it yet.
>> You thought it was Mark Kerr? Like he
even got a forehead thing like he got
like rubber put on his forehead or
whatever the [ __ ] like
>> Yeah. Make him more Neanderthal.
>> A little chromagnetic.
>> Give a little Frankenstein for almost
scene by scene. It was almost like the
same pretty much the same exact thing as
the documentary.
>> It was really good. the documentary.
It's it takes it's like the same shots,
the same story. So, if you seen the
documentary, which was great. Yeah,
same.
>> Kerr was a great guest. I had him in the
podcast. He was fun. It was really he
was a really cool guest, you know.
>> No kidding.
>> Yeah, he was really fun and just a real
intelligent like easy to talk to.
>> Like, where does he live now? Like
that's like Arizona,
>> bro. I saw him in early UFC's when I was
a backstage interviewer. He submitted
Dan Bobish with his chin to his eye.
>> I remember that. I remember that too.
>> That was crazy.
>> I remember when he came on the scene.
Well, the UFC scene when it with the old
Ranger Scott needed a face.
>> I remember Rip Rules is what we were
about to find out.
>> Morty Heinenstein or something like
that. The crowd.
>> I don't know, man. My favorite Mark Kerr
fight was against Fabio Gel down in
Brazil. That was crazy.
>> That's where he got his name.
>> Yeah, man. That's that's my [ __ ]
>> man. I
>> I was a big Fabio fan and like I mean if
you can't have respect for that guy
after that beating he took and he never
never [ __ ] thought about quitting.
>> Crazy.
>> Yeah. Heads and everything.
>> Who said yes to that?
>> Yeah. Right.
>> Let me put you guys aside. Explain
physics.
>> And now I need to introduce you to
steroids. That was to combine physics
and steroids and like no you're not
fighting Mark Ker. Right. If you look at
the time, that's when jiu-jitsu still
had that mystique about it though. True.
You know, back when they weren't losing,
>> but that kind of killed, but like that's
when like the beginning of the end of
like the guard started for MMA. It was
like that cuz like those big wrestlers
was just like, "Oh, you mean all I got
to do is block his hips and head?"
Right?
>> There was Do you remember when Mario
Sperry fought Igor Zenovia?
>> Oh, yeah.
>> So, Mario Sperry's like one of the first
jiu-jitsu black belts to lose in MMA.
>> That's right. Yes,
>> we all thought jiu-jitsu blackwells were
invincible, right? And Mario Sperry was
elite. He was a really good black belt.
>> And so he fought Zenov and Zenovia
stopped him.
>> I remember that. Yeah.
>> And Mario was doing everything right,
mounting him correctly, doing but then
he would just do one of those weird like
super big bridges and get and then his
because he had endurance and he was able
to just withstand his attack. He
>> he ended up cutting him or something
towards the end. Yeah.
>> Yeah. It was a big cut. They stopped him
from a cut, right? Speaking of old
school guys, guess who was at the UFC
last week? Marillo Booster.
>> YES, HE WAS he was Jose tapped twice in
the world title defense made him tapped
twice.
>> Yeah,
>> he also fought 45 bit. He fought Tom
Ericson. Tom Eric 45. Oh yeah. I thought
I thought beat uh Chuck Liddell too
honestly in that fight.
>> He might have. Yeah.
>> Some of the options.
>> He was he was a bad [ __ ] He was
really good boxing and insane jiu-jitsu
but really good boxing. one of the first
guys from like that Carlson Gracie team
along with
>> good wrestler too like he had good
takedowns you know for a jiu-jitsu guy
too
>> but like that's my point he's at the UFC
just cornering Jose Delano and like no
one knows who he is and I'm like yo I
need to give a lesson on this guy like
he's one of my favorite fighters of all
time but no one knows who he is
>> that's crazy he's a legend but you know
there's so many people now it's like
time just goes on
>> what a bunch of killers Carlson had back
in the Hey man, what a dude. His school
in 96 when all that was going down when
right before Vtor got into labor
Carlo Berto.
>> Yeah there Sergio Cohen. He had a bunch
of beasts man. And they would we would
watch them all train together. Mario
Sperry was telling us a story about uh
how he when he was just starting out in
jiu-jitsu, he uh made his girlfriend sit
there and he just put her in triangle
after triangle after triangle. She she
kept complaining
that's hysterical
>> watching TV just practicing triangles on
his girlfriend. that she
>> we were lucky to we were talking last
night about how fortunate we were to
come up when we did you know and like
even back at at Henzo's and you had
Henzo you had Hyen coming through you
had Hal coming through you had Matt you
had Ricardo you had Shawn Alvarez like
we just had a ton of killers you know
and back then
>> it was I always joke about the tapout
[ __ ] but
>> if you saw somebody in an airport in the
90s with a tapout shirt on you were like
where you know where you train Then now
then it went to like JC [ __ ] pennies
which is cool cuz it was except forever
21.
>> Yeah.
>> But it was pretty wild.
>> I had some tap out charts. Everybody
did.
>> Right.
>> Those guys were fun.
>> Yeah, definitely.
>> It was a weird time that that time of
MMA. If you go back to like like even
when like you and I first met, it was
like when what year was that?
>> 2001 we met.
>> Crazy. That's crazy. cuz you weren't a
commentator yet, but but I fought Kelly
Delante and you gave me a nice shout
out. We need more of that jungle
jiu-jitsu like Matt Sarah when you buy
>> AND I'M LIKE, "OH, they show you up."
>> Yeah, that's funny. Yeah, that that was
that was 2001 cuz I mailed you a shirt
>> to thank you and then you called the
academy and I'm like, "Oh, what's up?"
>> That was funny, man.
>> It's crazy.
>> But jiu-jitsu was so physical then. Like
it was a physical thing. Now it's so
intellectual and like these nerds think
they own it.
>> Autistic kids got jiu-jitsu
and now they think and now they think
they own it and it's like yo what what
are you talking about?
>> They start talking about technique. It's
like they're talking chess moves.
>> Yeah. You don't know the names. And he's
like you don't know that. It's like dude
I know that I like what what's the um
what when you're going for the uh they
call it the kg guard. I'm like [ __ ] man
I've been doing that since the 90s man.
>> At first I'm like what's the you don't
know the kg guard? I'm like then they
show it. I go, "Well, yeah. I Yeah, I
just never called it the [ __ ] K, you
know,
>> but it's funny you bring up Marilla
Bamante. We talked about Fabio Gajelle
back then, and I know jiu-jitsu evolved,
but if you take those guys, you put them
in the Abu Dhabi submission uh uh
tournament, you put them in the BJJ,
IBJJF, and you put them in an MMA fight,
their jiu-jitsu is the same. It carries
over to all
>> and and they may not win but they're
competitive and they have their own
right
>> have it across the board where
>> somebody should look to just used to
scissoring or just used to legs
>> you know what I mean that that that
can't transfer over.
>> Here's what [ __ ] my head up. If you gun
to my head said to me who do you think
has the best jiujitsu in MMA right now?
my head would go
Charles Oliver.
>> I was getting ready
my first
>> but Islam Makachev finished him on the
ground. So how can I say that right? So
it [ __ ] my head up because I'm like if
you think about like a elite expressions
of jiu-jitsu on the ground like one of
the most dangerous guys off his back
Olivera Oliver is so dangerous
everywhere. If he gets on top of you
you're [ __ ] I mean, it was just that
Max Holloway's defense is so tight and
he's so tough that he didn't get
finished, right? A lot of dudes would
have been out here in that first round.
>> How crazy it was that he was able to
just manhandle him and take him down. I
mean, Max, nobody took Max down like
that.
>> He manhandled him. It was bananas. But I
think Max is a guy that is like he can
fight at 45. I think it was really hard
when he went up to 55 and then went down
to 45. But at 45 in his prime, oh [ __ ]
>> it was a perfect weight class for him.
>> When Oliver was fighting at 45, he was
killing himself. Like he fought like he
just was fatigued easier.
>> But then when he went up to 55, then he
became Charles Olivera. You know, it was
really all at 55 where he made his mark.
>> He tried that [ __ ] though with Ilia. He
did try to take him down and he tried.
>> He's on another level.
>> He's on another level. super wellrounded
and people haven't really even seen that
yet.
>> He's on a level where I can't wait for
his next fights. Like when when he's
fighting, I'm like, what is he going to
do now?
>> Yeah.
>> Like how what is because I I think he's
getting better.
>> I think it's not just I think the dude
is like their approach to it. There's a
documentary on YouTube with the they're
like talking about how they break down
all their fight camps and what they're
doing and the different stuff that they
train in. Like these dudes are on
another level. I mean, when you think
about like if a fight between like Ilia
and Islam were to happen, like think
about like the magnitude of that of like
not only just like star power, but just
in terms of skill.
>> Like breaking that down in terms of
skill.
>> Oh my god.
>> Like two of the best skilled fighters of
all time.
>> Of all time.
>> Yeah,
>> that would be an insane fight. And I I
just really would like it if it happened
to be at 55. Like Iliot 170 is
>> 55 would be better
>> because Islam at 170 is probably walking
around a buck 96
>> [ __ ] jacked.
>> I think uh Armen should be spoken about
too.
Look how he% he had a a pretty good
fight with uh
>> Islam back when he how many years ago
when he was like 21. I mean he was I
mean scrambled. Although I do have to
say if uh the scoring was correct I
think
>> I think Olivivera would have beat him in
that fight cuz Olivivera threatened him
with submissions
>> that is true
>> a couple times. A couple times like that
to me is more valuable than holding a
guy down.
>> Did Arman threaten he had an arm choke
with him? Well, no.
>> He was kind of on the run but he was
kind of on the run more often than we
remember.
>> Like Armen was
>> Yeah. In terms of like inside the guard
of Oliver. Yeah. like he was kind of,
you know, he was on the run.
>> It's dangerous in there, man. It's not
like everybody else's. Like there's only
a few guys like him and
>> you know, Paul Craig, bro, Paul Craig
could latch on a [ __ ] triangle. Like
that guy has beaten world champions. You
think about it, he beat Jamal, broke his
arm.
>> Jamal, he beat uh
>> Uncle Stopped him with like one second
to go in the third round with a
triangle.
>> Yeah,
>> he might have one of the best tri What
was that one dude from back in the day
that won all his fights by triangle?
Dustin. Uh,
>> no. English guy.
>> Yeah. Um, I know exactly who you're
talking about.
>> Oh my god, it's gonna drive me nuts.
>> Little skinny English guy. He like was
all triangles, like 11 triangles in a
row. He had this one move and if he can
get you to the ground and latch his legs
around you, you were [ __ ] Paul ass.
Paul.
>> Shout out to Paul Sass.
>> Yeah, he was a beast. He get you in that
triangle, you're [ __ ]
>> And the Fisio Redoom is another one,
right?
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. I mean he was that he triangled
Fedor when Fedor was Fedor.
>> I always tell people if you want to look
at the one of alltime greats in
heavyweight. Don't look at all losses
and [ __ ] Stop right here in the prime.
Who has tapped out more legends than
Fabricio Verdoom?
>> Minotauro Fedor. I mean that is crazy
just those two. Cain Velasquez, right?
>> That's true.
>> He's tapped out all the legends.
>> True.
>> And they weren't past their prime
either. Fedor was securely in his
prime%.
>> I remember watching that live thinking,
"Oh my god,
>> he ran right into it. He ran right into
that jump into it."
>> Brilliant. He his jiu-jitsu was like
scary off his back.
>> Yeah. Fedor had no respect for the
guard. Just,
>> you know, was trying to take his head
off and just fed it to him. You can't do
that with a guy.
>> Not a guy like that. That's a different
level.
>> And plus, he hit Kobe in the head with a
boomerang.
>> Remember that?
There's nothing wrong with that. Give
you some points for that as well.
>> That was my favorite video of all time
cuz he hit him with the boomerang and
then the bag and Kobe was reaching out
for the bag.
>> Yeah, you got to give him some points
for that, too.
>> Out of all the people that I thought I
was definitely going to see on the White
House lawn. It was going to be a Kobe
Coington fight.
>> I was like, how is he how did you not
have a Kobe Coington fight at the White
House,
>> man? I don't know.
>> He's like super supportive of Trump.
Wears Trump hats everywhere
>> and he's not a fight.
>> They didn't get him hooked up. They
didn't hook him up.
>> I don't know.
>> How did that not happen? Bo Nickel
wanted to fight him.
>> Yeah, but that's a different weight
class. Bo Nickel's a big dude. He's
>> He's a 85.
>> Yeah,
>> that's a You know, Kobe's not a big 70.
>> Is he a great size for
>> Yeah.
>> No, I don't match him.
>> Yeah, that's going to be interesting.
>> Yeah, I think Chris a little big for him
for
>> I think that should go well for
>> Who is Wee fighting next?
>> Brady. Sean Brady. Sean Brady. Is that
in Miami? No, that's
>> No, that's in uh in Jersey, right? Yeah,
that's right.
>> I'll be on Philly next week with Brady.
Shout out
>> is on a tear until tomorrow got a hold
of
>> Shout out to Brady. One of his shirts
>> out of the two guys that are like most
worthy for a shot at the welterweight
title. I mean, you you got to think Ian
Gary, but you also got to think Camaro
because he doesn't have much time left
and he's a legend, right? One of the
greatest welterweights of all time. And
then he just beats Wim Buckley like
that. I mean like walking [ __ ]
monster.
>> Buckley was on the fast rise to
>> Wonderboy. That Wonder Boy
>> beat the [ __ ] out of Kobe.
>> Yeah. Beat the [ __ ] out of Kobe,
>> bro. Beat the [ __ ] out of him. Walk
doesn't get tired either, which is
crazy. Like you look at his physique.
>> Yeah. That guy's got to get out. He just
his he keeps that gas going for three
[ __ ] rounds. Full clip.
>> Yeah. Believe me, I know. I've been
watching him,
>> right?
>> Been watching him for months now. No.
Sean Brady, I think. Uh that's
>> old turtle shell.
>> Yeah. Yeah. That back of his is so
preposterous.
>> And he's staying at that weight, right?
>> Yeah. He's not going down.
>> Yeah.
>> What about and uh Jerry this weekend?
>> You know what, man? If you if you're
looking at it on paper, if you like if
you just watch their movements, Old Berg
is really fast. He's really accurate.
Um, and he's slick and he's a big tall
[ __ ] with great skills. Yuri
creates chaos.
>> Yes.
>> And in that chaos, you don't know
exactly how someone's going to respond
when the guy's still there when you
crack him and he's all over you and he's
doing wild [ __ ] He's got a [ __ ]
ponytail at the top of his head. He's a
maniac, but he's not faking it.
>> Oh, no. He believes everything he says.
>> That dude, that's how that dude really
lives. Like, he really does hit trees in
the woods. He goes out there with a
makiwara. His [ __ ] He does all the
hard style Japanese [ __ ] and you know he
spends time in the woods by himself
alone.
>> He does uh he swims under the ice. He
does the
>> I saw that. I actually saw a video. I
go, "Fuck that dude."
>> I mean, you have to find where the hole
is and you got to come back.
>> We had some people in there, too, just
in case. Isn't that crazy?
>> Listen, man. Just look at that dude. His
ancestors came over on a boat with a
skull on it and they had [ __ ] swords
and they hopped off and started slicing
people.
>> That dude is a [ __ ] Viking.
Whatever he is that war those warrior
jeans like that's in that that dude
takes you to hell. He takes He just
can't do it with Alex. He guts his way.
That's it.
>> That style just doesn't work with
Pereira.
>> I'm wondering does he walk into one here
cuz he's going to get hit. Khalil beat
the living [ __ ] out of him for two
rounds and then
>> ran out of gas.
>> Oberg's a big guy, too. Khalil's not a
big, you know, if you look if you look
at him in comparison to some of the
other guys in that weight class.
>> He could make 85.
>> Here's here's one that people are
sleeping on. Moff.
>> Yeah,
>> you think I'm leaning Paulo's Paulo's
way.
>> You almost sold me on that yesterday,
but Merov manated.
>> Undefeated. Let me tell you 37 and
fought nobody. I'm riding it.
>> True.
>> He put He put Rockish to sleep though.
>> He put Rockish to sleep in the first
round, dude. He's slick. I He does [ __ ]
in there. I'm like, you know, he calls
himself the professional. And it's like
he seems like a hitman. Like some
Russian hitman you hire that comes to
[ __ ] kill people.
>> He believes in his power. That's a fact.
>> It's not just his power, man. It's his
skills. When I look at him, I'm like,
this is a smart guy. Like he moves like
a smart guy. Everything's calculated.
Everything's technical. He's really hard
to hit clean. He's a He's a slick
character. And he does [ __ ] too, like
he overreaches, but he overreaches, I
think, on purpose to get reads off you.
If he senses the guy's moving away,
he'll he'll come in with big shots that
he doesn't in to try to get a get you to
react and then counter like that. That
right hook that he hit him with, it was
almost like a jab. Yeah.
>> That he dropped Rockage with just saw
the saw this movement that Rockic kept
doing over and over again. Bang. Yeah.
>> Came in with like a straight right jab.
Almost like a hook jab.
>> Paul's got a chin.
>> Look at that. Watch that again.
>> Look how slick this is. Boom.
>> Just He's a killer, man.
>> We don't know what Paul Costa is going
to look like at 205, though. He's never
fought it that way.
>> Well, didn't he once when he didn't make
weight for 85 against Marvin Vtori?
>> Yeah. Yeah. He forced Marvin Vtori. He
was like, "No, this fight is at 205
now."
>> Izzy Izzy [ __ ] his mind up. I think
>> he definitely did. I mean he but he
looked the best he's looked his last
fight. Like he cop he just ran through
him.
>> Dude, you go back to when he was when he
was walking people down like walked down
yo Romero Paul. He was a berserker.
>> I remember when he saluted Paul uh Yo
Romero in the middle of the fight.
That's my favorite part. That was a
great fight. It was a good fight. It
>> was a great fight. But nobody walks down
Yo Romero like that. I'm kidding.
There's that photo that one photo of him
headkicking Yo and Yo's face is like all
distorted and you're like how did he
take that shot? This his neck.
>> You know, his neck is fused.
>> Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. It's
all one thing. It doesn't move. It's
connected to his skull.
>> That's crazy.
>> Yeah. Isn't that nuts?
>> He's sending these comments.
>> Look at that. Look at that photo, bro.
That That photo is bonkers. Imagine
how tough you got to be to be Yoel
Romero and
>> take that to the head when you know your
neck has been through an insane
operation where you have metal
>> connecting the [ __ ] spine of your
neck to your head.
>> Sorry. They implanted monster traps to
hold his
>> hand at the same time. They were like
he's a such a freak athletic freak.
>> And you see he just fought bare knuckles
>> at 49 and a lot of people disputed the
decision. They thought he should have
won. Yeah,
>> in Russia.
>> Yeah. I don't
>> Yo, Romero in Russia. I don't know how
he does it.
>> He looks great.
>> Yeah. I don't know how he does it.
>> If you told me he was 32, I believe.
Yeah.
>> He's RA did RAF as well.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Who Who did he beat? Pat Downey.
Pat. And then he came back and he came
back and he lost the next one.
>> Yeah. But he was wrestled a legit thing.
>> Dude, the guy that I'm most impressed
with in that is Armen. Oh, I can't
believe how good he is as a wrestler.
>> Yeah.
>> Who's the dude he tech?
>> No, no, no. The the Lance.
>> Oh, Lance Palmer. That's Lance Palmer,
>> bro. Lance Palmer is a legit wrestler
for sure. And Lance was like, "Oh, he's
never wrestled at my level. He's never
wrestled guys at my level." Arman goes
up there. Tech falls. Bro, Armani did
better.
>> Yeah.
>> But even Giorgio, like you watch those
videos that he does when he does like
$100 TV or whatever, whatever it is.
>> Yeah. He Armen is a [ __ ] bad man,
dude. He's a bad man.
>> I know it. Yeah.
>> If you wanted to fight for Ilia at 55,
that's a very interesting fight.
>> 100% very interesting fight
>> cuz he's hard to hit. He's very slick
and technical. Super flexible.
>> Like you ever seen those weird like
mobility exercises he does with twists
and [ __ ] with crazy bridges. Crazy
flexibility.
>> He's definitely in his prime, man. He
can't waste his life away right now.
>> Stop headbutting people. doing the right
thing because you are in your prime
right now and it doesn't last forever.
He probably already he might already be
champ if he could keep it together
outside of the you know what I mean like
if the who knows what would have
happened in the Oliver fight it was a
proper fight a five rounder you know
>> he's staying busy though it's not like
he's on the couch you know what I mean
>> he's doing those videos with he put Mo I
have to sleep a couple weeks ago yeah
that was a little too much
>> that was a lot
>> yeah 125
>> but like he kept it I whenever they keep
it on when the guy's already sleeping
for too long it's like yo what are you
what's going on here you know he you got
to know he's out. The [ __ ] happening?
>> Maybe some unkind words were exchanged.
>> That's kind of my fault process.
>> I'm sure that happened.
>> Is a hotthead, right?
>> You've been known to say something.
>> What did he get kicked out of the UFC
for? What happened with him?
>> I heard he was just like mean to people.
Like mean to the staff. That's what I
heard. He was just like mean to the
staff.
>> Yo, I wasn't even talking I was talking
about when he did it to a streamer. I'm
not talking about that fight.
>> Oh, we're talking about a No, no, no.
I'm talking about him doing it to like
just putting a somebody to sleep of his
friends. The guys with his other
>> I don't think I saw it.
>> It was him on a couch and he put the guy
to sleep. This is a regular Joe.
>> Armen did this.
>> Yeah, man.
>> Jamie. No, no, no. Sorry, Jamie. Jamie,
>> but uh yo yo, he put him to sleep and he
held that [ __ ] on for an extra
>> how too many seconds.
>> Look at this. Watch this.
>> Oh,
>> no. No, I'm telling you. Do you tell me
if you think it's too long? That guy's
neck makes me sad.
>> But now look
>> to know that he's going to do that to
him.
>> Now look to see this
>> now. Ready? Let's see. Now he's out,
right?
>> He lasted a long time.
>> Yo, man. What are you doing? What the
[ __ ] He's out already. I mean, for how
long?
>> That's really crazy.
>> Been out.
>> That's really You ought to kill him.
>> That's really crazy.
>> Yeah, that was uh
>> that's so unnecessary.
>> That's what I'm saying, man.
>> What the [ __ ] Yeah, that's that's a lot
worse than I thought it was going to be.
>> Yeah. Sorry, guys. I hate to bring the
room down, but on the news that's the
crazy thing is Armen knows he was out
right away.
>> Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. No,
>> also that guy's neck looks like it's
never been choked.
>> I felt sad for what he was going to do
to it when I saw his neck. His neck is
making me feel sad cuz I know that's
going to hurt.
>> That [ __ ] gorilla, that dude's got a
clamp on him, man.
>> Little [ __ ] is having soup for a week
after that.
>> Yeah, right.
>> What's the problem? Arman's [ __ ] grip
is so incredible, man. I'm just very
impressed with him, man. Very impressed
with his grappling. I just wish he could
keep it together.
>> Yeah. I mean, he I mean, his striking is
not bad neither. Like, he
>> His first fight with Islam was very
close. Very close. First fight in the
UFC. I don't even think he got a full
camp.
>> Probably not.
>> I don't I think it was a short notice
fight
>> and he fought very well. You know, he's
he's at the it's just like crazy that
fuckups have kept him from being at the
time. The the missing the title fight
was the big one. Yeah,
>> that was the craziest one. Like his back
hurt
>> the day before. Like come on.
>> It's crazy.
>> And you make Hannato Moonnell go out
there and you know not and not having
prepared for him.
>> Moonnell looked good against Duncan.
>> Money
jab on him.Oop.
>> I like when he gets on that mic, too. He
starts talking [ __ ]
>> Awesome.
>> He I wish he would have started talking
[ __ ] even earlier. Like I always liked
the guy, but he's [ __ ] hilarious.
>> He might be the best in the business
right now. He's funny, man. He's not
getting enough mic time. He needs mic
time when he gets on the mic time.
>> Money [ __ ] boy.
>> It's hysterical.
>> They're podcasts. He's good. You know,
he's good on there with him. And I think
Gilbert, you know, they all [ __ ]
[ __ ]
>> Well, that was the thing. He's he's
doing some streams on in he's doing them
in English and in Portuguese, but the
Portuguese is doing better for him.
Okay. And he's like, I'm making money
off YouTube now. Like, so I don't care
anymore.
>> I I'm I have my money. Like, I have a a
big stream of revenue coming in from
YouTube. Subscribe to my channel,
[ __ ] baby, [ __ ]
>> He's a character.
>> You need that. You need some
personalities in there.
>> [ __ ] yeah. He's good, too. Remember like
his his fight with uh Benois Sanden.
>> Oh yeah, merked him,
>> right? Sandine is on his way to a
potential future title shop.
>> That win looks real good. Real good.
>> You can't judge him on that short notice
of [ __ ]
>> I know.
>> What do you guys think of uh Hookit's
[ __ ]
>> He's so fun.
>> You think it's fun? I think it's funny.
>> I Man, I don't get it, man. I don't get
it. I don't get it.
>> What are you talking about?
>> People are talking [ __ ] It's not It's
not witty. It's like It ain't funny. It
ain't witty. It looks like he's trying
too hard.
>> Exactly. I love it.
>> No, I don't get it.
>> He's like a pro wrestler. It's like pro
wrestling smart dude, bro. You talk to
that guy, he's a smart dude. He knows
what he's doing. He's being a goof. And
here's the thing about people that act
really goofy and stupid. You kind of you
[ __ ] that guy ain't [ __ ] Like they can
trick you. They can trick you.
>> You think he's gonna beat Curtis?
>> I don't know, man. Curtis is a lot. You
know, it's a big
>> this early in his career.
>> Curtis has a lot of power. He's a big
[ __ ]
>> He's going to be a better wrestler.
Probably
>> got a lot of MMA experience, but Hook's
a hard dude to solve. He's a really good
wrestler and he's [ __ ]
hyperaggressive and he's got
definitely uh he's fast.
>> He's athletic.
>> He's he's a one of the guys that I have
my eye on. You think he can make 205 or
you think he's should I mean well
heavyweight's light so
>> perhaps
>> maybe stay there
>> but really we're just waiting for Gable.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. We're
>> he's getting Romanov I think is
wrestling him and
>> I would not let him do that. I'd be like
what if you blow your ACL out? What are
you crazy? Why are you doing this?
You're going to be the heavyweight
champion of the UFC. They got to be
paying
>> and Romanov's a big dude, man.
>> Yeah. I mean, look, I think G I think
he'll be fine. But
>> when you think of guys that are like a
Mike Tyson in MMA, like when Mike Tyson
was coming up, that's what I what I
think of when I see him. Yeah.
>> I'm like, how do you deal with that? How
the [ __ ] do you deal with that? He moves
like a cat. He's 240 lbs, Olympic gold
medalist, and he can KO you.
>> Smart ass guy in his corner.
>> And he's got Jon Jones as a mentor.
>> Are you [ __ ] crazy?
>> Fight IQ. John's, you know, he's one of
the smartest guys.
>> Yeah. You got that guy in your corner
and everybody saying, I mean, he's one
of the only guys that isn't even in the
UFC yet that I had him on my podcast.
>> I was like, I got to talk.
>> I mean, he's accomplished, I think,
enough anyway. He's already a [ __ ]
Olympic gold medalist, NCAA champion.
>> Got to be mid20s.
>> Oh, he's young. He's young. And he
they're doing it smart, you know. They
gave him um one of those uh what do they
call? Dirty boxing. Dirty boxing fight.
The one where he jumped. Dude, did you
see he jumped over
>> jumped over the rope like it was nothing
landed on? It was pretty sick.
>> He jumped. Just stood there and leapt
over the ropes after he won and land
like the
>> dude after he would when he went he won
the NCAA championships like he can do
like roundoffs and like the [ __ ] like
literally boom boom boom like a gymnast.
It's [ __ ] crazy.
>> And I guarantee you that attribute
that's we attribute to the speed that he
has and covering distance. He's
dangerous, man. Watch this. Watch when
he goes over this rope. This is crazy.
>> Damn. BJ pinch jump up and out of the
pool right there.
>> I mean, that is crazy. But he just he
just stuck the landing and started
twerking
>> effortlessly. He's a monster, dude. Real
hard problem for people.
>> Anybody wrestled named Gable? You better
[ __ ] be good.
>> Yeah. And named after Dan Gable.
>> After Dan Gable.
>> Damn. So, he's been wrestling since he's
a toddler. and he's just such a [ __ ]
athlete and so smart. Just dedicated.
They're doing it smart, too. They're not
just jumping him into the UFC right
away. He's getting famous outside the
UFC
that way.
>> Yeah. You try to bring him along as much
as you can.
>> Yeah. [ __ ] your 10 and 10. Come on, son.
>> Well, when they sign him, they got to
get they're going to give him more than
that struck. But the thing is, you don't
>> [ __ ] he ain't getting that.
>> Some people are of the opinion that you
don't want to give a young fighter too
much money early because it'll ruin
their motivation.
So, I mean, there's truth in that. But,
I mean, it's not Who's that for you to
say, though? You know what I'm saying?
Like, I want my money.
>> Exactly.
>> Yeah. You don't get to determine that. I
want my money. Guess what? I think the
cream will still rise to the top. I
think the guys that are dedicated that
have a lot like Floyd Mayweather when he
was worth hundreds of millions of
dollars would still never drink and run
home from the club instead of people
driving his Rolls-Royce. He's running
behind it.
>> Yeah.
>> I mean, look at look at Armen, man. That
guy's got money. He doesn't give a [ __ ]
>> He's got a private jet.
>> Yeah. He's just Armen's got a private
jet.
>> At least he's always on a private jet.
Seems like he knows it.
>> Jesus.
>> Yeah, I think he's got some cash in.
>> His family has like tons of money.
>> Yeah, but he still has a desire to be
the best.
>> Yeah. You know what I mean? It's either
in you or it's not with that. You know,
>> maybe that's why he can't get his
attitude together, too. You know,
>> perhaps, right? He doesn't need it.
>> A bit spoiled in that way, right?
>> Yeah.
>> Who's disciplining him? You know what I
mean? He runs his town, I'm sure.
>> What do you guys think about Hamzot and
Strickland? I I Well, let me tell you,
>> this comes down this comes down to
Strickland's motivation.
>> Well, I mean, you got to be [ __ ]
motivated. How many more shots you get?
>> Yeah, but I mean, he's worked with him
before. I mean, they I know they say
that K's out submitted him, but if you
hear Strickland talk about it, they were
doing like additional rounds when you're
starting on the back.
>> Started on his back.
>> I mean, come on. But I think when they
moved around, I think he feels pretty
confident with it. He's a hard guy to
keep down, Sean. Yeah. And uh who made
who made Kamzot look human? Gilbert
Burns, Kamar Usman. I mean, they made
him look human, you know. And Draus
again, not you don't want to see that
rematch, but
>> in the fifth, but in that fifth round,
>> he he did get into some decent
positions. He just got reversed right
away. I mean, Sean, if there's any bit
of blood in the water, he's [ __ ] a
finisher. He's, you know what I mean?
He'll stay on him if he's hurt at all.
>> He's durable. I mean, and everybody's
saying how underrated his grappling is,
the guys that are working with him. So,
I I mean, it's that's all I've heard,
too. And he's so hard to hit, man.
>> He's got a weird style.
>> It's very weird. It [ __ ] you up. And
he's really good at moving back away
from shots.
>> All the hands are in your face, too.
>> He also throws like looping shots on
purpose sometimes. Like, you would think
it's bad technique, but he's like
finding a way around your guard and he's
catching you with weird stuff. And his
[ __ ] jab is on point. Was you Did you
Were you at the Was you calling that
one? No,
>> I was there for that. And you could hear
it. Like you don't always hear that.
>> You could hear the thud in his jab when
Fluffy was blocking him and it was hard.
>> He was mixing his kicks in there. Well,
he's going to have to watch that.
>> He wasn't getting hit, man. The thing
about him, if you if you watch him when
he's on point, he's so [ __ ] hard to
hit.
>> He just [ __ ] up with Alex. You just
can't make any mistakes.
>> It seems like everybody [ __ ] up with
Alex. Yeah, he's he's a freak.
>> Yeah, he doesn't negotiate with you.
He's just like, "You [ __ ] up, it's
over."
>> Do you do you think that um I do you
think that translates to heavyweight
with gone?
>> I don't think so. I don't I think Gan is
a little bit too
>> I think Gon would decision him.
>> Good chance of [ __ ] dancing and and
jabbing his way to victory.
>> But that's what I'm saying. Like Scott
is Gon is going to like put him I think
Alex will [ __ ] could put him out.
>> Here's one thing. Ghan hasn't been 185
pounds since he was 12,
>> right?
>> Yeah.
>> I mean, that's a big heavyweight,
athletic, moves like a cat, and he's got
world class striking skills, man. That
Tom Aspenol fight, that first round
opened up a lot of eyes. Like, he looked
[ __ ] good, man.
>> It opened eyes. All right. Opened up
[ __ ] Tom's eyes. Hey, dude. I feel
bad for Tom, man, because
>> talk about a guy that got the [ __ ] end
of the stick,
>> knuckle deep in his [ __ ] eyes. two
surgeries
>> and everybody's like, "Ah, walk it off
by a poor guy."
>> Really was. I just think that was
handled poorly right after the fact. You
know, I think you have to address right
after the fact that you have to probably
tell people like what kind of injuries
can be sustained from this. They're
permanent. Look at Michael Bisping.
Still can't see out of his right eye.
You can't you can't just have a guy go
back into a fight when he can't see.
It's crazy. It's crazy to ask. The guy's
eyes been injured. If he gets hit again,
it could rupture. Who knows? So, who
knows what kind of damage you have back
there.
>> So, who do you think was irrespons
like getting his back on it?
>> Uh, if I was doing a press conference
afterwards, what I would emphasize first
and foremost is how dangerous eye pokes
are.
>> Yeah. But I think we've neglected some
simple solutions, you know, and I think
there's there's got to be a solution
that we use to stop these [ __ ]
fingers from going into people's eyes.
>> Point deduction right away.
>> Point deduction is the easiest.
>> One eye you touch someone's eyeball with
your fingers, unless it's complete
scramble. You're doing this, his head
happens to be there.
>> Yeah.
>> But if you're doing this when a guy's
coming in and your fingers go in his
eyes, one point every [ __ ] time.
Every [ __ ] time. No, no judges
discretion. No, you know, no referee's
discretion. Poke in the eye. Ow. One
point.
>> Did Did you ever ask Dana about the
pride gloves? What happened to him?
>> I did. Um, you know, I don't
>> They should have owned that.
>> I don't remember the tech, right?
>> That's good. The best stuff is Trevor
Whitman, right? Just pay the man a
little bit of money.
>> I was trying to broker something and I
might still be able to do that to try to
figure out a way to just like
>> th those gloves are perfect. The
knuckles curve over. Your hands are in
this position. It does not impede your
grappling. It's easy to do that if you
want to, but the natural position is
like this. So, if you're doing this,
it's because you wanted to do that.
>> It's not like the gloves are forcing
your hand open like a lot of people
complain about now.
>> Mad scientist.
>> Here's the mad scientist. Cover the tips
of the fingers. You don't use them
anyway.
>> True.
>> Nobody does this, right? So, if you
don't if you're always grappling like
this, right?
>> So, cover it with like a mitten.
>> Yeah. Little mittens. like a leather
with a leather top like a nice little
>> so it's your thumbs are free so you
still have some potential eye pokes from
thumbs
>> but that mitigates a lot of it that
mitigates a lot of it and you completely
stop all this stuff cuz now you have a
solid thing that hits it's not going to
go knuckle deep and one finger goes in
one finger's on your eyebrows and it's
just [ __ ] digging in that's crazy
that would all stop if you had a mitten
>> well I mean there's not a lot of eye
pokes in bare knuckle
Right.
>> Right. That is interesting.
>> And it's because they're always like
this.
>> Yeah.
>> Cuz they're not. So it's just these guys
they get in there and they're just like
>> Yeah.
>> So the way to stop it really I mean it's
take up way points and guys will be like
this more.
>> Yeah.
>> Well, I wonder if there would be less
eye pokes in just if you just think
about uh MMA with gloves on if it was if
it was just boxing and no kicking and
takedowns. Maybe it's like all the
different possibilities of things.
>> That's what it is. Like it's like
they're trying to like avoid the take
down and like and blocking kicks. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Everything. So that's why you're
doing this cuz like Muay Thai guys do
this all the time. Boxing guys very
rarely do that. No.
>> Very rarely.
>> Unless they're showing off and they're
about to hit you with a big right hand.
Bang. Like Deontay Wilder.
>> Yeah. He'll he'll be
>> Yeah. Old school Deontay Wild would
literally like hold his fist in front of
your face and then wing one wing a
nuclear bomb at your head.
I think you just got to discourage guys
to close your hands.
>> Cover the fingers.
>> Is he fighting Joshua?
>> Cover cover.
I don't know.
>> I don't know. I thought I heard
something about that.
>> That's a tough fight.
>> He's too skinny for that. At this point,
>> he looked good in the Chisora fight in
moments. There was moments he said, "I
love you." And then Chisora said, "I
love you, too."
>> And then he hit him. Knocked him out of
the ring. Jesus.
>> Deonte said he he backed off on him
because he saw he was hurt and he wanted
him to go home to his family.
>> I love you, too. And he [ __ ]
Deontay did Iaska
>> and I think a lot of times when a a
straight up assassin like Deontay Wilder
meets God
>> probably takes a lot of that mean out of
your heart.
>> You need a little of that mean to land
those haymakers.
>> You got to be angry. True.
>> Yeah. You don't want to be half a hippie
when you're going in there. Definitely.
>> You want to talk about one punch power
though? That guy might be the greatest
of all time.
>> Deontay he was like
>> pretty damn close. 48 knockouts in 49
fights.
>> He was Yeah, he was [ __ ] people up
>> in one decision
>> and and he's was not a great technical
boxer. He started late in life. That
right hand just was [ __ ] Thor's hammer
was dropping on people's heads.
>> Teddy Alice always calls it the eraser.
Any mistakes you make, that right hand
erases them all.
>> I always wanted to see him fight uh
Enano.
>> That would have been wild.
>> That should have been the fight. That
would have been the fight to make. Him
and would have been the fight to make.
them two bombing at each other.
>> Yeah, they could actually still do that.
Why not?
>> They could still do that. Like Enano, if
you want to look at it from a business
standpoint, man, that guy's killed it,
right? Went over, got that crazy
contract with the PFL. He got a chance
to fight Tyson Fury, knocks him down,
becomes a legend, then gets a big money
fight with Anthony Joshua. That doesn't
go so good. And then he has the his
reintroduction to MMA. He he fights that
dude Hannon,
>> right? The 68.
takes him down, smashes him, beats him
down.
>> So, he made what? 20 million in that
fight. Something crazy like that. He had
a crazy contract, right?
>> Yeah.
>> And he had a contract where his opponent
had to make at least 2 million.
>> Who does that?
>> Yeah.
>> How do you not love the guy? How do you
not love that,
>> right?
>> He he puts it into his opponent must
make at least $2 million.
>> Yeah.
>> I don't know.
>> And now And now he's got to be making a
lot for this Netflix
>> Netflix thing. They got to pay him
because they need legit names. Yeah. And
You know, Felipe Lind, he fought at
light heavyweight in UFC, right?
>> Yeah. Yep.
>> Yeah.
>> I I worked with him a bit at Top Team
and I mean, I just This is a big moment
for him. It's all I can say. Like, I
don't know how he's going to do. It's a
big moment for him.
>> Yeah.
>> I'm happy Nate is making that money.
Mike Perry, too. I'm happy for them.
>> Yeah. I heard those guys are getting
paid. It's nice because this is this is
a thing where if a fighter is in
contract negotiations, they have their
last fight on the contract and they
decide not to fight or not to sign until
after the fight.
>> They do make that decision which legally
they can do, right? Then all of a sudden
Netflix is calling.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Especially if you win big. You win big
stunning knockout and then you know you
come over to Netflix and make what 12
>> a fight that's nuts and that forces
everybody
>> forces everybody's hand that's what
business is supposed to do
>> that's how it's supposed to operate it's
good that's what's good for the fighters
that's the most important thing without
the fighters but that's just like that's
why I'm hoping that this Netflix thing
can be sustainable
>> I hope so too
>> yeah because like if they just do a
oneoff I was like
>> again I'm a terrible businessman I'm
terrible at it Yeah, me too.
>> But just give the money to the fighters.
>> They they they're the ones who fight,
>> right?
>> Without that, you got nothing,
>> right?
>> Everybody's making plenty of money.
>> Yeah.
>> Come on.
>> It's going to be big though, for sure.
This thing, everybody's going to watch
it, I think.
>> 100%. It'll be huge cuz it's Everybody
has Netflix. They're going to watch it.
It's going to be crazy.
>> Ronda could become a superstar again.
Well, she's already a superstar, but I
mean, if she wins again, then people
start talking about like maybe Ronda's
gonna come back to the UFC and then
maybe Ron is like a WWE moment. Ronda
and Dana shake hands on a stage with
like Erica Kirk fireworks going off
behind them
>> and Drew Ski Rhonda and Kayla Harrison
White House lawn number two next summer.
>> Oh,
>> I don't I don't think she would do well
in the UFC, but this is great for her.
She's done with the WWE and all that
stuff.
>> Yeah, I bet it's probably hard for a I
mean, she probably enjoyed the job. It
was a great job. Made her a lot of
money, but it's probably hard for an
elite competitor to do these stage
things. I mean, she's an elite
competitor
>> cuz like instinctively she just wants to
do compete
>> 100%.
>> She doesn't want to fake compete.
>> I mean, some guys did it right. Kurt
Angle turned out to be a real good pro
wrestler, you know, despite being gold
medalist.
>> Listen, it's a great gig, don't get me
wrong, but I'm saying for someone who
still can fight.
Your angle was done at at that point
when he went to pro wrestling.
>> I went to
>> won the Olympics with a broken neck.
>> She's a savage.
>> I just went to the uh the the
headquarters in Connecticut. It's pretty
if I saw Stephanie McMahon's uh podcast.
She's very nice. Stephanie McMahon. And
uh I seen that whole [ __ ] place. If
you're into WWE, it's like a [ __ ]
nerdm. I'm not really into it,
>> bro. Tony St. with Cream Pants.
>> Oh my god. Cream pants. He's already
been there, I'm sure.
>> Oh yeah, he would.
>> He's working with them now,
>> is he? Oh
>> yeah. Yeah, he's doing stuff with the
WWE.
>> Is he writing for him or
>> he's going to be in some shows? He's
going to be a bad guy doing some things.
He should be He should be like a
manager.
>> Happy. He's so happy.
>> That's great. I don't know how much I
could talk about this. I have to be
quiet. I don't know how much this is
public, but they're doing they've
already they're already announcing
they're doing some stuff with Kill Tony
and he's going to roast like WWE people.
They're going to do some stuff like
that. They're they're doing a lot of
collaborations together. It's perfect.
That guy's a giant wrestling fan.
>> He loves it. Yeah. The guys that love it
love it.
>> He [ __ ] loves it.
>> And he's the best roster, too, man. When
I be seeing him at the fights, I don't
say [ __ ] I'm like, "Yo,
>> I don't want him coming at me."
He had Dana's back. That's my boy.
>> Yeah.
>> He had Dana's back for the [ __ ] time.
We had to do that that thing at the
laugh factory.
>> Oh yeah. Yeah. Damn. We're going to do
this thing and uh nobody's coming in
prepared. But he had Tony Hinliff
like two months prior.
>> That's hilarious. Yeah. Tony's the best
at that [ __ ]
>> He's the best at cracking people,
cracking on people, and cutting people.
But the people that love that that soap
opera like world of the WWE, it's
>> I don't hate on it. I I see how much
they love it.
>> It keeps you entertained, man.
>> They like it. You know what I mean?
>> They're really smart at mixing things up
and bringing in new characters and
having new crazy moments. And if you're
a nerd like Tony, like
they go nuts, it's like you you're it's
like the same escape.
>> It's like a male it's a male soap opera.
>> Yeah. But it's like the same kind of
escape that you get if you're watching
Game of Thrones. It's just an escape.
This is silly. This is crazy. Oh my god,
he's back from the dead.
>> See, I But that's where I draw the line.
I just I can't do it, man. I draw the
line there. I can't do that. And I ain't
got I ain't got no be I ain't got no
problem with it. I just can't do it.
>> I'm in the same camp as you. It's not my
thing. I don't watch it, but I respect
it. I respect how hard it is to do.
>> Yeah.
>> Oh, yeah. It's [ __ ]
>> very difficult to do. Remember remember
Matt, we wrestled at uh in Memphis.
>> Yeah, we did a little thing in the
street. We had But we were just winging
it.
>> I was hoping you just let me get a
submission. Will you fight me off? Come
on, man. Let me
>> I hurt my knee. It was tough, man. I
ain't I was like, damn, this is harder
than I thought.
>> Oh, them guys take a beating for sure.
You can learn how to fall, but you're
still falling.
>> Yeah,
>> I met Hulk Hogan twice. Well, I met him
before when he did a promo with me with
the UFC. It was when uh we were on I
think we were on Spike back then.
>> Yeah.
>> But uh I met him a long time ago and
he's like he was 6'5. He's this giant
[ __ ] dude. I was like holy [ __ ] It's
Hulk Hogan.
>> And then I saw him the last time he did
my podcast and he's like 4 in shorter
and it's all from getting all of his
spine fused about the same height now.
I'm like wait a minute here in He was
like a big guy still but he was he used
to be a giant. He was like this towering
[ __ ] crazy guy. bald hand lips. He
was so fun. That dude was so fun.
>> But uh he that's how many back surgeries
he had. And he said it was all from that
move that he had where he dropped down,
you know, and then the big seat drop.
>> Exactly. So the seat drop every time he
does that, he's compressing his discs.
>> 300 300 plus.
>> Yeah. 300 [ __ ] dropping down every
night and just blowing his back out. His
back was just destroyed.
>> Destroyed. Every every vertebrae
destroyed. Every disc blown apart,
>> herniations all throughout it. Barely
could walk.
>> I was watching The Princess Bride the
other day with [ __ ] Andre the Giant.
>> What a great
>> Anybody want a peanut?
>> Yeah, he's [ __ ] great.
>> My name is Diego Montoya.
>> Love that.
>> You killed my father. Better die.
>> Such a great such a great movie.
>> Great movie.
>> Great movie.
>> Yeah, I put that on for the family. Have
the kids watch it. It's a classic.
Yeah, that's one the that lasts ages. It
goes through generations. Look at that
[ __ ]
>> Yeah. Yeah, it holds up.
>> [ __ ] love it.
>> You know,
>> they don't make them like that anymore.
>> I just saw that project Hail Mary.
That's a nice one for the family.
>> What is that?
>> It's with Ryan Goslin goes to space and
[ __ ] has to save the world type of
thing. But, uh, you know, it's more than
that, but that's pretty much the it the
premise.
>> Where are these Aremis people at now?
Are they Are they passing the moon yet?
>> They already did. They they passed it.
What happened?
>> So they when did they did they land yet?
Are they back yet?
>> And where are they?
>> Uh it should be probably back in the
next day or two.
>> Who's going where?
>> They went around the moon.
>> They went all the way around the moon.
>> All the way around the moon. No. No.
They just went around.
>> They just went around and saw the dark
side of the moon.
>> Yeah, they took photos of the dark side.
>> Oh, really?
>> Yeah.
>> They crashed on Friday. Uh splash.
>> Splash on Friday.
>> I was getting ready to say what? They
crash.
>> So they land tomorrow. Wow. So they um
so the the dark side of the moon is only
dark when the moon's not. It's not dark
like the sun still hits it the same
amount the sun hits the light side of
the moon. Is that true? Yes. It's the
way the I used to think I'm a [ __ ] I
used to think that the the reason why we
only see one side of the moon is because
the moon doesn't spin.
>> That's what I thought.
>> No, no, no. The moon not only spins
around us, but it rotates. But when we
see it, it the only time we see the moon
during a full moon or a quarter moon or
whatever it is is when the sun is
hitting the side that's always facing
us.
>> Right.
>> So when when it goes the other way.
>> Gotcha.
>> That there's a different side that's
facing us, but we don't ever get to see
it because it's dark.
>> Right.
>> That's what it is.
>> But so they took pictures of the other
side.
>> Exactly.
>> Yeah. And there's aliens everywhere.
>> I was about to say Yeah. I was say
what's what's on the other side
on the other side? What's on the other
side? And in that in that movie, he
finds an alien. By the way, he does.
>> This is not really a spoiler. It's in
the in the trailers.
>> I had that guy Bob Lazar on again
recently.
>> I You want to see a great documentary
that it's fun. Uh the first I would say
Jeremy Corbell's documentary, which is
Area 51, Bob Lazar, and Flying Saucer.
Is that what it's called? Bob Lazar,
Area 51, and Flying Saucers. So this guy
was a back he was an engineer and he was
hired to uh work on these spacecrafts
that he didn't know what the [ __ ] they
were and they told him like try to
figure out this propulsion system. They
brought him into this hanger and this is
in like 1988 and it's a flying saucer
that looks exactly like that thing on
the desk.
>> Jesus.
>> And it has an American flag sticker on
it. And so he's like oh it must be ours.
Like and then he gets in it and he's
like what the [ __ ] is this? It's made
for people that are 3 feet tall. There's
no controls, no buttons, nothing.
>> Why are you looking at me, [ __ ]
Why? You're the only guy that can ft
tall. You look right at me, you son of a
[ __ ]
>> But he's got a new one out called S4. I
I recommend it to anybody. It's a They
did like CGI and they daged. Is
>> it on Netflix or YouTube?
>> No, it's on Amazon.
>> Amazon, some some other places. But
>> what's it called again?
>> S4.
>> S4. I just saw uh I was just watching a
series with you on that Ancient
Apocalypse.
>> Was I on that?
>> Yeah, you was in that with uh
>> Oh, with Graham Hancock.
>> That's right. Yeah, Graham, my man.
>> Do you know uh Hrio Gracie?
>> Yeah.
>> A good buddy of mine. Uh my uh my old
roommate.
>> He He's a [ __ ] wacky guy. He's
[ __ ] funny. Funny as [ __ ]
>> So, you know, we were just out to eat
last night with Danaher. We were talking
about him.
>> God, I love that guy.
>> And he's like, "Oh, he's great." and he
said, "Oh, I'm glad that Hadriico's
matured." I was talking about how to
he's doing good. He just visited me. He
did my podcast and he did a a seminar at
my place. So, you know, I I was catching
up with him. So, he told me he was
visiting Area 51 with his wife and he
goes, "So, yeah, you know, I always
wanted to go there." So, me and
Fernando, we drove down there and no,
nothing was happening. So, then I'm
driving back. You got to drive back
hours through like the dark desert,
right? So, he's driving back and he
goes, "Fernando fell asleep." So, I had
my laser pointer. So, I'm just pointing
at a sign, pointing at this. He goes,
"Matt." And then I saw blue lights in
the distance. He goes, "Oh, I could I
want to make contact." He goes, "What?"
He goes, "She was sleeping." So, I
started taking my laser pen and pointing
at it. He goes, "And I didn't think
nothing of it." And then all of a sudden
I'm driving
and I hear
and a a yellow circle around my car and
I wake up Fernandanda. She's like, "WHAT
DID YOU DO?" AND HE'S LIKE, "I JUST took
my laser pen. It was a helicopter
[ __ ] following him." Like just And he
goes, he goes, "It was getting down to
like almost my roof. I didn't know what

[ __ ] car." So I she told me I we
called the police. So we they you know
they go look there's a there's a
helicopter following us and they go is
are you in a they said the car the
everything they go the authorities are
waiting for you at the rest stop
up whatever. So he goes to the rest stop

why. And then he comes out they they're
like look they they they put him in
cuffs and he goes to his his wife. He
goes go in there and get the laser pen.
It's in the bathroom. He She goes in the
men's room through the garbage, finds
it. So, they're saying, "All right, you
were you were shooting interfering with
um a military helicopter or whatever it
is." Like, in other words, it's a major
>> Yeah.
>> crime here that he could be facing. He
goes, "Mad." He goes, "I was [ __ ]
myself." The two pilots come over, one
of them takes off the helmet.
Cauliflower is. He goes, "Fucking thank
you. He trained under my cousin." He
goes, "The guy's bow." He goes, "The
guy's bowing to me." He goes, He goes,
"My wife's yelling at me." So he got out
of it. The guy trained under He's a
brown belt with the [ __ ]
>> God. How lucky. That's so lucky.
>> I don't [ __ ] man. Only you, bro.
>> That's so l Yeah, they probably thought
they were trying to like [ __ ] with
planes

beams at planes. It's like a real
problem.
>> Is it?

[ __ ] flying the planes. The lasers go

>> Mal's tough guy getting better.
>> Only lost once to Neil Magny in a fight
that he was doing great in, but then he
got Neil Magny cuz that guy's [ __ ]
>> never gets tired.
>> Never gets tired. Never disciplined.
Always in shape.
>> He rided the ship since then. And uh
that kid's like the next captain Canada.
He's doing people they make an unfair
comparison like, "Oh, you're the next
George." That type of thing. But he's
his own fighter. He's got a a great
skill set, good head on his shoulders, a
family of studs. His brother's like an
ice hockey [ __ ]
>> It's a good test for him, Gilbert at
this stage of his career, you know.
>> Yeah. See if he still got it.
>> Yeah.
>> You know, he's the first guy to make com
look human.
>> But when Morales did that to Gilbert, I
was like, Jesus Christ,
>> Morales is terrifying.
>> He looks so big. It doesn't make any
sense.
>> I know.
>> He doesn't make any sense.
So when we I was with Brady when Brady
got beat by him and
>> at the way and he looked okay, right?
Like you know a guy he's 170 pounds.
Then the next day we he steps into the
cage and we're just looking like oh my
god massive massive.
>> Yeah. And when you're that much taller
that the and you're you're the better
striker.
>> God.
>> Yeah. It's a huge advantage. Like you
just cuz you can stand six feet away
from a guy and just be like Ogari last
week. Oh my god. Man, what are we
talking about?
>> Yeah, like I know man sore what he
trained at with a ground control as a
kid and uh before he went off to college
and all and I mean the only thing I can
say first off obviously he was not ready
for him yet but uh he definitely showed
a lot of heart cuz he [ __ ] stayed in
there and took
I was thinking the exact same thing.
>> I hope he comes back. I mean that was I
I personally knowing him I felt horrible
watching that. I was like
>> he wasn't ready for that yet. There's
just when you get an elite striker, you
got to realize that guy beat Pereira in
glory.
>> Yeah.
>> Pereira knocked him out twice after
that, but in the first fight, he beat
Pereira.
>> I think people looked uh like ordinary
in his first couple. Like he came out
with a new version and it was [ __ ]
impressive.
>> He's [ __ ] good. And he's training
with Pereira now. So he's at Glover
Glover.
>> Yeah. You know, that's a great [ __ ]
camp. And Glover has so much knowledge.
>> Yeah. He's That guy was in the dark for
six years where he couldn't get into
America. And during those six years, he
was the boogeyman. Everybody talked
about Glover. They're like, "There's a
guy that's in Brazil. He can't get to
America, but if that guy gets here, he's
[ __ ] everybody up." And that was
Glover. Glover was a He was always
training with Truck Chuck in um in
SLO.
>> And they're in Danbury, Connecticut.
That's
>> And that's They're not They're not in
Vegas. They're not out. So, you know,
>> ain't [ __ ] to do out there. And all they
doing is training.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah, dude.
>> Just nothing but Lyme disease in the
woods,
>> right? And federal prison in Danberry.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Connecticut is it's a good
place to just not get distracted.
>> Just get to work.
>> Danberry is where uh Hadrigo Gracie
broke my elbow.
>> I was there. Yeah, you was there.
>> I was there.
>> I didn't know you was there. I
>> You know I was there. Yeah.
>> Damn. Did you have to get pins in it?
>> No, they they I mean they set reset it,
cast it, no pins.
>> He told that story at the seminar. Oh,
he did.
>> Yeah, cuz I had to bring that up, man. I
was like 25 years ago.
>> He said
>> because we weren't close at the time
>> and I was yelling [ __ ] But I I regret
that, too.
>> Wait a minute. What did you yell?
>> Well, he he cuz he let it go. He let it
go
>> and you didn't tap.
>> Well, yeah.
>> And Right. Which was great. And then I
was yelling at him for for letting it
go, which I was just psychotic cuz
you're my friend now.
At the time it was just
>> Well, to be fair, like if I knew it was
going to break, I would have tapped.
>> Yeah. I didn't know it was going to
break,
>> right?
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. That's what the story he told.
Then he then he said that Henzel yelled
at him too after that
>> for letting it go.
>> WHY' YOU WERE YOU GETTING SOFT?
>> Why you let that [ __ ] go,
>> bro? I got to get Henzo in here.
>> He's the best.
>> He's definitely
>> We were going to do it at one time, but
he was only in Austin for a short amount
of time and I didn't have anything open.
I couldn't get him in.
>> I'd love to sit down with that guy. What
a legend. Yeah.
>> Stories for days.
>> And he's one of those guys like you hear
about a guy getting a black belt and
you're like, "Okay." And you go, "Oh,
you got a black belt from Henzo." You're
like, "Oh, okay.
>> Definitely."
>> It's like Henzo Hixon, Jean Jock
Machado. There's a few of those guys
that are like, "Okay,
>> that's a real black belt." Like,
>> I mean, Henzo's New York place is like
one of the most legendary places in the
history of jiu-jitsu. If you had to
write a history of jiu-jitsu, the Henzo
Academy in New York City, holy [ __ ]
man.
>> Remember when he came over? [ __ ] He
came over in 96. We had like an inschool
tournament, you know what I mean? It was
great because Craig Kuk already had two
schools for him. He had a jersey school
and that guy.
>> No clue, man. No one knows like and
disappeared.
>> My first instructor, but he was not an
easy guy to to he never let you get too
close.
>> I bought all the tapes.
>> I learned I learned to mount escape from
those tapes at work one day. I was like,
"Oh [ __ ] it worked." He was a very good
teacher. I was one of the before.
>> Early Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt. He
was a black belt like like early 90s,
right? Like the Steve Maxwell era. He
was one of the earliest ones,
>> too. I found out about him through the
Gracie newsletter that I was applied to
at like 17. I used to get that the cuz
when you buy the tapes, you get a
newsletter. And one newsletter, it was
like every few months it was announcing
the first American black belt. And then
like two newsletters later, they
disowned them. They had a business. But
I'm like, but then I found out through
Black Belt magazine that he was teaching
in the village one day a week in the
city. I go, "All right,
>> they might have disowned him, but they
couldn't take away his skill set. There
was no place to learn in the on the East
Coast except for Maxwell and Philly."
>> So that's how I found Kuck. And then he
partnered up with Henzo and
>> and then I went with Henzo when they
broke up obviously.
>> Why did they break up?
I remember Henzo took me out to eat one
time and he's like, "Look," and I always
got I got along with Henzo so much
better. He right off the bat. Like Henzo
was just so warm and great and he
invited me over his house and he was
just such a and Craig was was always
kind of a wall. He was a big German guy
just but uh I remember one time he told
me like look something with the business
where he wasn't feel like he was being
treated fairly. I'll just leave it like
that. And then uh he goes, "Look," he
goes, "if no one likes Craig." He goes,
"If you go with him and and and me," he
goes, "People will go with him because
of you, cuz they like you." And but I
want you to come with me. I go, "Look,"
I go. And at first, I'm like, "Is any
you" know, I was a young kid. I didn't
know. I go, "Is there any way you guys
could make up?" He goes, "Man, if it was
Brazil, he'd be already dead." I go,
"All right, okay, Enzo. All right, I got
you. So much for that." Ah,
>> so I went I went with Henzo and Craig
kind of left town.
>> So Matt, where are you in the pecking
order in terms of American black belts
from Henzo?
>> I'm I'm the first American under Henzo.
Okay, that's amazing. That's crazy.
That's amazing. That's amazing.
>> That's something that could that's my
biggest achievement right there.
>> You know, he took me under his wing.
Henzo, again, I was a purple belt. He
got me out of a security guard booth,
taking me to Japan to corner him verse
rings cuz he wanted to me to see what
it's like backstage. Dude, I was no I
didn't do anything yet. I'm like, "Oh
[ __ ] really?" Japan [ __ ] So he would
just do stuff like that. Yeah, he did.
He He put a lot into me. So I can't
thank him enough, dude. That's
>> that [ __ ] camp. You just think about
how many elite black belts Henzo
produced. And then think of the John
Donaher branch of it which also right
generationally like it just it dominates
all the generations of jiu-jitsu.
>> Especially now if you think of what
Donna has done you know I mean his prize
guy Gordon Ryan greatest of all time
>> for sure but I mean even on the other
side who they don't get along with so
much now like like Nikki Rod and them
are still from Donna.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And all elite of the
elite.
>> Yeah. No John well crazy lineage. That's
a guy that just put 100% of himself into
it and he's got a genius mind. I
remember he didn't even own a television
until my buddy Chad LeBron who was
moving back to Virginia gave him
something. He gave him one so he could
watch it had I think a VHS and a DVD
thing where he wanted to just study
wrestling tapes and Japanese tapes and
he just used it just to study.
>> I have a question for you. Whatever
happened to Eddie Wolverine?
>> Yeah. So I asked him about that last
night.
>> What's his last name again?
>> Uh Cumins. Cummings.
>> What did he say? He got into some kind
of business now. He's not really
training as much.
>> God, that guy was good.
>> Yeah, he was good.
>> It was leg locks, man. Early in the day,
like as the leg lock revolution was
unfolding, that guy was first, you know,
savage. He put out,
>> bro. And, you know, just super super
technical, you know, trained a lot of
those guys in leg lock technique, too.
You know, they all shared techniques.
>> Oh, yeah.
I'm I think it's just amazing that John
drives. He never drove in New York. So I
go, "How'd you get here?" He goes, "Oh,
I drove." I go, "You [ __ ]
>> with a rash guard on and a fanny pack
and an Adidas sweatpants."
>> He was dressed up last night. He had a
All blacks polo shirt on from New
Zealand. Yeah.
>> Yeah. A New Zealand all black shirt.
Matt asked him, he goes, "What? What? No
rash guard?" And he goes, "Oh, I got
dressed up for you tonight."
>> Well, he probably went back home to his
family and his mother was like, "Honey,
>> stop wearing the rash everywhere."
>> Right. It is crazy. That's all he would
wear. He's teaching at Kingsway now,
Gordon School. Now that Gordon's done
competing, he's got that school going
on.
>> He's like a character in a movie. Like
he's not supposed to exist.
>> That
>> Yeah. He's a philosophy major at
Colombia
>> who uh is falls in love with jiu-jitsu
because he's a bouncer. He wants to
learn
>> bounced at scores.
>> Yeah. Right.
>> Want he's this like jacked like
powerlifter bouncer who played rugby.
>> He was like 220. He was yoked up.
>> Jacked. And so then he learns jiu-jitsu,
becomes obsessed with jiu-jitsu, but his
body's all [ __ ] up from rugby. He's
got a [ __ ] up knee, then his hip gets
[ __ ] up, and
>> so he can't really compete, but he is
such a jiu-jitsu fanatic that he trains
the best guys of all time.
>> It's kind of nuts.
>> It is nuts.
>> And that's all he cares about. Like he
doesn't give a [ __ ] about anything. He
doesn't give a [ __ ] about social media.
Look at John.
>> That's one of my favorite pictures. full
head of hair, jacked, looking ready for
a a gay date.
>> John definitely looks like he's wearing
almost like he had a skirt on. It does.
He was
>> a really John definitely would rock a
headgear, too, when he wrestled. For
sure.
>> He was a bad [ __ ] dude. Bad
[ __ ] I know a lot of people who
rolled with him that were shocked.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> Dude, John would do privates and wrestle
everybody all day long.
>> Yeah, he lived it. You know, he still
lives it. That's all he does. And it's
just so, you know, fortunate that you
get a guy who's that smart like in
everything. Like he's really well read
history, all kinds of like he's a very
interesting guy to talk to, but he
becomes obsessed only with jiu-jitsu. He
didn't have a family. He doesn't
>> Yeah.
>> wife and kids got to take care of.
>> I love that choking people.
>> When you have us out here, it's like a
routine now. Now every time we come out,
I I get dinner with him. So I don't see
him too often. So
>> Right.
>> It's great.
>> It's like a little reunion each time we
come to town. I'd be with him how many
days a week? We'd just train and go to
Burritoville.
>> They were in Puerto Rico during the
pandemic and they were having a hard
time there and I was like, "Come to
Texas, baby. Come on down."
>> I'll tell you, you're the Pied Piper.
They They all ended up here.
>> Well, it's a fun place, man. It really
is. It's the
>> Well, I heard the whole Puerto Rico
thing was good for a while, though. I
was talking to Nikki Rod about that. He
said it was great. He was like just like
being in Puerto Rico with your friends
in like a frat house training jiu-jitsu
all day. It was like amazing. Well,
especially because they were shut down.
Yeah. And in Puerto Rico, you have
outside like you can get light into the
room so it kills the [ __ ] staff
better. Yeah.
>> Right. How many guys got staff from that
the basement jiu-jitsu?
>> Right. Right. A lot of blue.
>> A lot of people got staff.
>> There's a lot of funk that gets on those
mats that if you're not careful.
>> [ __ ] up his belly with all the
antibiotics.
>> Mhm. And that's from staff.
>> Dude, my [ __ ] belly, Joe. On the way
here. On the way to the JFK. I told us
>> cuz I always got my issues but I usually
give myself like if I'm going somewhere
like on a car trip or anywhere like I
clear out for at least an hour and a
half to two hours like I'll I'll give
I'll have my espresso in the morning two
Celtzes and then I just let it go to
work and I'm pushing on my belly cuz I
things get stuck in there.
>> So I thought I gave myself enough time
and I was going to JFK from my house.
It's 30 minutes. It was 9 in the
morning.
We 10 minutes into that [ __ ] car
trip. I go, "I'm not [ __ ] making it."
I go, "I'm I" I go, "I'm not." I go,
"I'm not." And the guy was my driver was
such a good guy. What a nice guy. I gave
him a fifth I give him a [ __ ] tip.
Good tip. So, we're driving. I go I go,
"All right, let me just keep watching
videos on my phone. I'm like, let me
just try to let my mind go somewhere."
Clock the clock wasn't moving. I look
back. I go, "That's another minute." I
go, "I'm not I There's no way I'm making
this." So, I'm on the Bell Parkway. It's
not like you could just pull over. So I
go, you know, I go I go, "Buddy," I go I

I'm not going to make it." I go I go,
"We got to we got to pull over." He

want me to take an egg?" I go, "Go off
an exit." I go, "You're going to" I go,
"YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOMETHING."
I GO, "I'M NOT MAKING IT." I GO, "CAN I

There's not even bushes or anything.
There was some like some like uh

>> Not like how you used to be able to.
>> No. Well, it's not like it's one of
those things where I have to clear out
in the morning and I thought I totally
cleared out, but sometimes I'm like,
"All right, I'm good. I pushed out
totally." And then it kind of just gets
something else in the chamber or
something. I'm like, "Oh, no. There's
still something left." So, we're
driving. I I'm like, when I when I get
the feeling, it's it's such a horrible
feeling because you're It's not about
willpower. It's not about thinking of
something. I'm like, dude, it's going to
[ __ ] happen. This is the day that I
just piss myself. It's gonna But thank

something to do with that. But
>> cuz that sounds crazy that the dude just
comes on that
>> quar. Dude, it's it was I I've had it
before, but like I I don't know if I
told I maybe said it the last time here.
We were going to an aquarium out east
with my family and it was one of those
things just like this. And I get out of
the car and then we're looking and we
I'm like, "All right, I can." And then I
see there's like a line out the door. I
go, "I'm not making this. There's no way
I'm making this." So I go, "Honey, I'm"
She goes, "Okay, go go go." So I [ __ ]
There's like a post office with those
those bushes that come straight up like
they're all tied together. I [ __ ]
smoosh myself through the second I take
my dick out. [ __ ] bees come around my
[ __ ] head. I GO, "DUDE, I'M GONNA GET
STUNG cuz I'm not GOING OUT WITH MY
DICK."
And [ __ ] I didn't get stung, but I
definitely had some on the front of my
pants.

a very clean person
to that.

right? There's no hiding it. Oh, hard.
>> But uh yeah, man. These are the things
you got to deal with when you get older
a little bit. I am getting my stem cells
that's hopefully going to help.
>> What is the cause of ulcerative colitis?
What do they say causes it?
>> Uh I don't know. I mean, I think some of
it's my history. I know one of my
brothers had Crohn's, which is even
worse. Crohn's disease to level up.
>> Yeah, man. Like, so I know my
grandfather when he was getting older
though, he had some [ __ ]

badass.
>> It's like the Fantastic Four with the

com

man.
>> Big ass [ __ ] grown ass man. Level of
Thor.
>> That stuff's my WWE. I love that [ __ ]
cuz I grew up on the comics.
>> I loved they ruined those [ __ ]
movies, man. It's [ __ ] Thor. Um
Ragnarok was fun. Love and Thunder.
Horrible.
>> Oh, here's my my friend the rock
monster. Hey, and here's his life mate,
Bob. The rock. What the [ __ ] Why
though? What does that have to do with
anything?
>> You know what? You got to give credit to
the DC movies then because they never
ruined Batman,
>> right? The the most recent Batman's at
least, the Christian Bale Batman, and
then the new one.
>> It was still pretty dark and like dark
just like like Yeah. There was like
there's no woke [ __ ] in them.
There's no It wasn't
>> They [ __ ] murdered that Thor. They
killed him. and Gore like Christian Bale
played Gore in that movie in the comics
that is the [ __ ] best Thor story.
Gore's a like first off he didn't look
nothing like he did on t on the movie
but he's killing every killing all the
other gods like I mean Thor his [ __ ]
dad they had to get a whole crew to come
and fight this guy and none of that
really was showed in in the movie at
all.
>> It was horrible love and thunder.
>> It was nerd. I didn't know you was such
a nerd.
>> Oh for comics.
I didn't know.
>> Why didn't they do it like the [ __ ]
Oh, wow. Look at him there.
>> See if you can look in the comics like
the comic version of Gore cuz it's not
even close.
>> So, this is already out.
>> Turned into
that was [ __ ] loving.
>> Damn. Look how Look at his click on that
with your cursor's on. What the [ __ ]
man?
>> Yeah, they wrecked. He was a perfect guy
to play it, but they just ruined the
>> Yeah, you can't blame Christian Bale.
>> Yeah, they should have done it. Just buy
the comic books. You shouldn't be able
to rewrite history like that and [ __ ] it
up.
See if his It's Gore the God Butcher.
Yeah, that's Ruin King Thor, just in
case you were wondering, Joe.
>> Jesus Christ.
>> How many Thors are there? How many?
>> That's the same guy. It's just levels.
>> Oh, explain that. Uh
>> oh.
>> Whoa.
>> That's from the movie.
>> Damn. He looks good in the movie. That's
pretty dope.
>> It's probably also just a rendering
because I don't know that they've shown
stuff like this.
>> When does the movie come out?
>> Later this year. Doomsday comes out this
year
>> and so does Dune Messiah.
>> It's a good year to be a nerd.
>> Yeah. Well, the nerd movies sell the
best if you think about it. Commodore
movies are like 100% guaranteed Harry
Potter.
>> Yeah.
>> So, the Harry Potter show that they're
doing on HBO. I've read Find out if this
is true. Put this into Perplexity. Our
wonderful AI sponsor. If uh they made
they it cost them $100 million each
episode.
>> What? The new one that's coming out.
this new one. Apparently, it's so highly
produced. It's like they they they've
risked a billion dollars.
>> Oh my god.
>> series. It's supposed to be insane.
>> Harry Potter,
>> but it's Harry Potter. And you I feel
like you can't miss with Harry Potter
except with trans people.
>> There's a a lot of controversy with uh
the casting cuz they did a um a race
swap with Snape. Snape. He's like a guy
that's
>> $100 million. That's going to be a rough
one, man, because his backstory is not
good.
>> It hasn't been confirmed yet. Several
recent reports claim the budget is
around 100 million per episode.
>> Jesus.
>> Seven planned season, eight episodes per
season, 56 episodes total. That per
episode figure implies an estimated
total production cost of about $5.6
billion.
>> It looks like it's done well. I saw the
the coming
you have to if you're going to do a
Harry Potter, you got to do it to the
maximum. There's already
>> I got to get into Harry Potter because
there's not a lot of black characters in
it, but there is one.
>> There's one now.
>> But before that, before that, the one
character, guess what his name is?
>> I'm not guessing anything.
>> Dean Thomas.
>> Shut the [ __ ] up.
>> I swear to God.
>> I swear to God. I want my ROYALTIES FOR
THIS. I WANT MY ROYALTIES. I wasn't
>> You had another guy. Definitely not
spelled the same way.
>> It is spelled the real way, but the
Yeah,
>> there it is.
>> There it is.
>> Dean Thomas.
side character.
>> Yep.
>> Not many blacks.
>> Out of here.
>> The one is Dean Thomas.
>> So, why why is it controversial? Because
they race swapped
>> because his backstory
was I think he was in love with uh
Harry's mom and then they [ __ ] I
think they all beat him up and stuff.
It's just not a good look
>> if it's you know what I mean cuz he
plays
>> Black Snape. So, you're implying that
they beat him up because he's black.
>> Well, I'm not saying that. I'm just
saying it's not I'm saying to make him
>> like a like a character that's
>> I don't know. Why does he like me? It
could be it could be interesting.
>> Meek Mill.
>> It's gonna if they just follow the
books, it's going to be amazing.
>> Hey, I I you know I I miss the I was a
little bit older than my kids love the
Harry Potter. You know, people go adults
read the books and [ __ ] I don't
>> I think it's the most successful books
of all time.
>> Is it?
>> Yeah.
>> I think so. I think it's like right up
there with the Bible.
>> Damn.
>> I feel bad for that lady.
>> Find that out and put that into
>> She got She got crucified for just
>> compare the sales of Harry Potter guns
though.
>> She got crucified for being logical and
reasonable and telling the truth and
trying to protect women and all these
[ __ ] people's these actors are still
saying she said problematic things. I
want to hold them down and say tell me
what she said that's problematic.
>> Yeah, that was a bit unfair to her. It's
just there was an article written about
this one actor that did it where that
said he
>> is more concerned with being on the
right side of Hollywood than the right
side of history.
>> And that's accurate. Yeah. Because these
people all don't want to offend these
dorks in Hollywood that are out of their
[ __ ] minds. Enormously um
commercially commercially what does that
mean? Enormously commercially
successful, but the Bible has sold far
more copies overall. Uh Harry Potter
series has sold over 500 million copies.
Estimated for the Bible is around five
to six billion copies.
Um how many copies of the Quran have
been printed?
>> Uh I before I mean there's also multiple
versions of the Bible and there's seven
books of Harry Potter. So yeah, there's
not seven, you know.
>> Right. Right. Right. Right.
>> You could break it down. So there's 45
books in the Bible and those are all
sold.
>> Yeah. But most people buy it as the
Bible.
>> I know. But there's also the King James
Bible. There's Bible
>> and there's the Old Testament and Yeah.
>> So,
>> so by fewer copies, Harry Potter book
sales are estimated to have generated
about $7.7 billion in revenue.
>> Not a Harry Potter in every uh hotel
room in the country either.
>> That's true. That's a good point. That's
a good point. Yeah. They keep that Bible
in that hotel room just in case,
>> right? That's a weird thing, right?
>> Yeah. Why do Why do they do that?
>> I think someone donated it. Like there
was a there was a Bill Hicks joke he did
about it back in the day. I forget there
was a name on the Bible like it was a da
da da bible like someone like one family
donated Bibles to like every hotel room.
>> The Gideon Bible
>> I think that's it. Is that it?
>> Might be. I mean I
>> the Gideon family. I think that was the
joke. That was part of the Who the [ __ ]
are the Gideonss?
>> I was I was so depressed when I got
here. I I brought my Metaquest and I
realized I brought two right
controllers. I'm like no.
I had my headset on. I go no no no.
I'm playing. Hey, I'm playing a game
now. A new game.
>> What's the game,
>> Jamie? Get ready for this.
>> Forefront.
16 on 16. There's tanks. There's [ __ ]
choppers. F O R E. Front. It is. Forget
about Pop One. Forget about contractors.
I know I hyped them up on here before.
This [ __ ] game is just pure
adrenaline.
Okay, that's I just want to say that. I
just wanted to get that out. Joe, I'm
telling you, you used to like the Quake
[ __ ]
>> Yeah. I want to see what it looks like.
Show me what it looks like.
>> Forefront is so good.
>> Here it is. This is it.

you're seeing this through your VR. It
is so much fun. Me and my brother-in-law
Edwin, we go on this [ __ ] and we
take souls. You can get on a bike. You
could do a four the four-wheeler. They
have anti-aircraft. They have carriers,
ACPs, they have tanks. How do you have a
life outside of this?
>> Well, I don't.
>> That's the problem with these things. I
have a house of women. You know,
>> they're watching Love on the Spectrum
and I'm playing this.
>> They like that.
>> The problem is these are too good.
They're too fun. They could take your
whole life away.
>> No, I got a two hour time limit on my I
play until my battery dies.
>> That's good.
>> You know, two hours. That's all those
things last

scared. I watch it. I get scared.
>> You should. Hey, we we could squat up.
>> No, no, no, no, no.
>> Go on.
>> You would get addicted to this.
>> No, no, no. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's a real
problem. It's a real problem. It's a
real problem. Yeah,
>> it was like
>> I can't play these.
>> It was like a crackhead that couldn't
get his lighter work INTO
>> cuz that's how I like to kill time here
when I'm [ __ ]
>> I made a decision a long time ago to
never bring like a gaming setup with me
on the road.
>> I'm like I can't do it.
>> Yeah, where it goes. I start playing.
I'll be up till 4:00 in the morning.
>> I'll be if like any first person shooter
where you're running around a map and
there's another dude on the map and you
got to get a rocket launcher and [ __ ]
him up. It'll It starts to feel real.
>> It feels very real.
>> Me last night. Then I had to go back to
>> What is this one?
>> Oldfashioned. What does it look like?
>> Oh my god. It's Doom. It's Doom in VR.
Oh. Oh no. This is a problem.
>> I got to find this.
>> But Doom is uh
>> I actually think this is the the player
of Quake Doom.
>> Oh, it is Quake 1. Yeah. Oh wow.
>> You like the Quake stuff.
>> Love it.
>> But I'm a I'm more of a Quake 3 Arena
guy because Quake 3 Arena like show them
some Quake 3 Arena. They got the
graphics down and then they had it set
up where everything was online. So you
didn't have to like buy the new version
of Quake and download it to your
computer and run it and play it and No,
it's online. So you just log in and
you're playing this streaming and it's
[ __ ] phenomenal.
>> It's like that now with the meta. You
just get updates.
>> Show some uh highlights of gameplay so
you can see what it looks like.
>> Supposed to be the VR.
>> Oh, this is the VR version. Oh, Jesus
Christ. Why are you showing me this?
Don't show me this
>> cuz I was going to tell you next that
the Apple Vision Pro is being updated
now so we can play with
>> Shut the [ __ ] up. Don't do this to me,
dude. Don't do this to me. This is my
game. This is my game. I [ __ ] love
this [ __ ]
>> As if you had a Starlink, you could just
do this on the plane.
>> Shut the [ __ ] up.
>> Oh, you just I'm not doing this.
>> Is it a battle royale? You just got to
kill everybody.
>> Yeah. The The problem is, man, I start
doing it and if I start [ __ ] people
up, I can't stop.
>> It's fun, dude.
>> I And I got pretty good at it. Not like,
you know, I could win tournaments good,
but I got pretty good at it. Like I
[ __ ] these guys up. The dudes in the
studio I [ __ ] up.
>> Oh dude, I'll tell
>> I would get real addicted to it and I'd
start getting Yeah, that's a problem.
>> And then I start playing online and just
going into room.
>> Next thing you know, Yep. your life is
>> This is one of my favorite maps. You
bounce out to this one and everybody can
see you so they're all sniping you when
you're trying to come back when you get
the god power.
Now you just [ __ ] destroy everyone.
>> All right. You speaking my language.
>> Yeah. Look at this, bro. You got a rail
gun. Precision movement. Boom. Look at
that. That's the rail. Look at the rail
gun, bro. You got to have super
accuracy.
>> Boom. And while you got god power, you
just have to hit him once. Boom.
>> Boom. Look at that. Oh [ __ ] This guy's
got timing.
>> This This is a dick. This is like You're
watching I'm watching people smoke crack
and I'm going, "Oh, give me that pipe,
baby. Give me that pipe."
>> It's so funny.
>> If they But if that was VR, I would
never have a life. I don't have a life.
>> I can't do it.
>> It's just helps balance me out. You know
what it's like, dude? It's like
jiu-jitsu if you never got tired.
>> H Yeah. Well, that's what that's why you
have the battery life on it. That thing
gets
>> Imagine jiu-jitsu if you never got
tired. You just do it all day.
>> If you never got hurt, you never got
tired. You would just be training
constantly.
>> Especially if you were [ __ ] people
up.
>> Oh my god. Always winning and tapping
people out.
>> Once you got to a certain level, I mean,
this is to me straight crack.
>> Oh, dude, that looks fun.
>> Come on. How fun is this game? You're
swapping weapons instantaneously and you
have certain weapons set to different
keys. Just like my rail gun is always
this middle the wheel button. I hit that
[ __ ] I get the rail gun and you
can adjust your uh speed of your mouse
depending on the weapon.
>> Do you hear the other players? Do they
complain when you use a certain weapon?
>> Um I don't know if they use that with
this. I never did. I don't When you chat
with Quake, you would have to pull the
menu down and chat. If you have a bunch
of people talking while you're playing,
it's going to ruin your game experience.
>> Yeah, sometimes with this for I don't
want anybody talking [ __ ] I just want
to kill you.
They're like, "Good job." Yeah, good
job, Unk. They call me Unk. Good job,
Uncle. You had to use a shotgun, [ __ ]
You know, I try to be mature. I'M LIKE,
"YOU'RE DEAD, YOU LITTLE [ __ ] YOU'RE
DEAD. YOU SHOULD USE A SHOTGUN,
COCKSUCKER." YEAH. YEAH. They complain
when I kill him. They're like, "What are
you, 30? You're playing a game?" I'm
like, "Well, I'm actually 50."
>> Thank you, kid. I'll take 30.
>> What is that? 30. I'm like, "Well,
>> it's great,
>> bro. I remember when I was in high
school. I found out Madonna was 26. I
was like, "Oh, she's old,
>> dude. I remember I remember getting
ready for a fight at 35. I was getting
ready for Trigg and I had Gian Volante
there now. He's older than this now."
And he's like, "Dude, how's it feel to
be 35?" I go, "Dude, [ __ ] you. I'm still
fighting.
>> [ __ ] you."
>> You know, I bring that up to him now.
He's like 40 now. Like, you caught up to
me a little, you know?
>> Yeah, man.
>> You know, it's weird. We're all dying.
>> I know. It is. I mean, think about it.
We don't got much time left.
>> Slow to process. Really? I'm 58.
>> What are you, Johnny?
>> 57.
>> Damn.
>> Oh, you guys could have went to high
school together. You class above. I'm
51. Young man, I'm still only 49.
>> You're full of [ __ ] I'm 49.
>> Keeping it together.
>> Yeah. All right. I like it.
>> I thought you would be like a Brazilian.
Hardrigo Gracie used to lie about his
[ __ ] age like a chick.
>> Dude, you're you're my age. What does he
say? [ __ ] 29 still. What are you
talking about?
>> No one knows how old Yoel is.
>> Oh, yeah. probably older.
>> I know.
>> Might be older.
>> It does feel weird when you say 51. Like
when I say 51, I'm like, "Oh, 50s." I
go,
>> "Man, I'm
>> younger." You never really picture
you'll be that age.
>> Me, too. I'm almost 60.
>> I mean, when we were growing up though,
60 was broken down. And
>> Yeah. It's a big difference from
>> Shout out to Ways to Well,
>> right. Life Med for me at home. Ways to
Well,
>> you do. You hang out Do you hang out
with younger guys? Cuz I hang out with
you.
>> You're in the in the gym. You're with
younger people. That's what I'm saying.
I'm always with younger comics for
unless it's Ron White, right?
>> It's those worlds and and I bet you I
bet you when you hang out with Ron
White, it doesn't feel like you're
hanging out with an old man.
>> No. Like me and Longo
gem. He's a gem.
>> Yeah. Longo's 67. I
>> just say throw away something. It'll
just be so funny. We all be dying
laughing. He's a naturally funny dude
>> and just a sweetheart of a guy.
>> He was good in tires also.
>> Oh, he's great in
>> I like that show.
>> Yeah. Well, you know, he's homies with
Shane. Shane's always there, too. It's a
night. It's But that again, like young
people that are doing the thing we all
love to do, having fun, just just like a
jiu-jitsu gym, just like anything else.
>> You don't I mean, this idea that you
have to one day grow up, like that's not
true. I'm here to tell you it's not
true. You should grow up in some ways,
like be a good dad, take care of your
taxes, you know, that kind of stuff.
>> Why you looking at me?
>> After that, after that, shut up. Shut
up. Have fun.
>> Oh, that's me in a [ __ ] nutshell.
>> Yeah, there's nothing wrong with you
playing those games. Just don't tell
those kids how old you are.
I know, dude. They call me an old man.
This guy sounds 30. I'm like, you little
[ __ ]
>> Yeah,
>> but it's fun, though.
>> Don't have a heart attack for real.
>> You have to take any [ __ ] breaks in the
middle of your VR experiences.
>> But I I I'm not above I'm not above
teabagging those little bastards when
they get wise. I'm squatting down on
them in my [ __ ] thing in my
>> teaag a guy after you kill him.
>> They get mauy. I will teabag somebody. I
don't give a [ __ ] You don't outgrow
that. So you you actually squat
physically and it does it
>> maybe. My wife's like, "WHAT ARE YOU
DOING?" HE DESERVES IT, HONEY.
>> CRAZY.
>> LISTEN, that's crazy. It's different
than a video control. You're actually
>> That's crazy.
>> I get my squats in, man.
>> Have you seen those uh multidirectional
treadmills you're doing those games on
now?
>> Yeah, but I'm not running. My knees
aren't good for that. So there's a
treadmill like a circle and it goes in
any direct omniirectional I think they
call it and you're strapped in with a
harness that like keeps you from and you
just move you move like you're running
you would be in insane be some people in
better shape. Oh, dude. You You would
think how good that would be for your
footwork.
>> Like, if you could have a VR, there's a
good VR boxing game. And one of the
things that I noticed when I was playing
it was my feet were hurting
>> cuz I was doing it on concrete on cement
and I was wearing like Converse Allstars
and you just push it off your feet all
the time. I was like, "Oh my god, I'm
getting a foot workout. This is crazy."
Like it was gassing me out because you
really see the guy and he pops you,
everything goes white. Like he got
stunned like boom. Oh [ __ ] Get them
back. Right.
>> And you're moving. You're moving around
stuff. There's a bunch of them.
>> I got to get into those.
>> Tiring. I don't is when you hold the
gloves, like if you hold the hand things
like this, it shows the gloves like
this. So when you're punching, it looks
like you're punching them wrong. So it
[ __ ] your head up.
>> Yeah.
>> You know what I mean? So when you're
twisting to punch, it's showing this and
it [ __ ] your head up cuz
>> giving a [ __ ] wing chunk punch,
right? So, like if you punch like this,
it'll look like the knuckles are coming
out, but you're doing this.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> You figure how can't they get that?
>> They should get that right. It should be
where your hands are positioned.
>> So, if you hold it like that, it should
be the gloves are like that and then you
turn it like that and it looks so that
way it doesn't [ __ ] with your head while
you're punching that thing cuz it's
weird.
>> Clearly, the developers
programmers and fix that.
>> But I think there's some real benefit in
it for real. Because first of all, it's
harder to hit air than it is to hit a
thing, right? So, you get a little
workout doing that. The things don't
weigh much, but you could always put
like a little you little whis wrist
weight or something or someone could
make a controller that has lead in it
that has a couple of pounds for each
one. You would get good endurance doing
it and you're doing a lot of footwork
drills cuz like you're lomachenko in
these moving around
>> good for you.
>> And it's also showing you how to move
away from things and counter. There's a
bunch of different things that you could
actually apply to re It's better than
real shadow boxing. Yeah, I was about to
say it's like it's like intense extreme
shadow boxing.
>> Yes. Yes. It's like you're really
visualizing cuz there's an actual thing
in front of you. I think there's benefit
to it. I think it would help you.
>> I mean 100% I think there'd be benefit.
>> Yeah. And you're not getting hit, right?
So it's timing where
>> you're not getting the CTE along
>> you're getting it's not it's going to
replace sparring. you're always going to
need to spar, but it'll give you a lot
of like neural pathways to different
movements that you'll you'll have like
programmed in you in a fight with zero
consequences,
>> right? That's great.
>> Yeah, you can't do it with jiu-jitsu,
unfortunately. But you probably could
with a robot one day,
>> like you get a good AI robot,
>> you know, that's not going to spaz out
on you and rip your [ __ ] head off.
>> I would never trust that, right?
>> Imagine if the AI got mad you tapped too
many times.
I'm going to show you my real strength,
dude.
>> Dean, in this next role, I'm not going
to go easy on you.
>> What? What do you mean?
>> I'm watching you. You know what? [ __ ]
eyes out.
>> You got me hook
>> only cuz they look human. The uh
Cyclones. I'm watching the battle. I
started watching it.
>> It's great.
>> It's really good. It's really funny.
What is that on?
>> I'm almost seasoned on the sci-fi
network years ago. It was un like
unappreciated series. like one of the
greatest sci-fi series of all time, the
reboot of Battlestar Galactica, and I
was super skeptical because Battlestar
Galactic when I was a kid, I loved it.
Everybody was super campy. Wasn't very
campy. And then all of a sudden,
Skywalker was a girl now. I was like,
what? Or Starbucks. Starbucks was a girl
now. Katie is amazing. She's great. That
[ __ ] series rules, dude.
>> It's a great It's a great writing.
>> I'm on the first season. I'm almost done
with it now. I got like an episode left
and
>> way better than the original series.
>> It It's really It's really [ __ ] good.
>> It's phenomenal. It's really good. And
the Sylons scare the [ __ ] out of you and
they're hot hot chicks.
>> Yeah.
>> Ruin your life.
>> Oh, my favorite.
>> It's good. Yeah. Everybody's favorite.
It's great. It's a great [ __ ] series,
man.
>> John James Elmo or whatever.
>> James El. Yeah, he was great in that. Is
he alive?
>> Amazing.
>> Did he die?
>> I don't know. James Almost. Is he alive?
>> No. There's no way.
>> Edward James. Edward James Almost.
That's right.
>> He was great in that great Mexican
prison movie. Remember that?
>> Yeah. What was that?
>> Blood in Blood Out.
>> Blood in Blood Out.
>> He got in trouble with that.
>> They wanted to kill him cuz they made it
out like these dudes were [ __ ] each
other in jail.
>> Oh, they're not.
>> Yeah. Well, even if they are.
>> Yeah. Don't talk about it.
>> Yeah.
>> Snitches get stitches.
>> Yeah, man.
>> I think people died because of that
movie.
>> No.
>> Yeah. I think people were killed.
>> I thought that heard heard something
about that.
>> Yeah. makes you not want to go to jail.
>> Well, I just don't think they let these
dudes know how they were going to
portray him in jail.
>> And I think, you know, they they happy
about that.
>> Severe disrespect.
>> Is he alive? Edward James almost.
>> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> Good for him.
>> 79.
>> He's phenomenal on that show. Phenomenal
in that show.
>> Yeah.
>> It's a great show.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I just got a I I think I
heard you talking about it and I put it
in I got on Amazon Prime. I bought the
first season. It's [ __ ] good. There's
another Amazon series. What's it called?
Not the Eclipse.
>> Um, The Expanse.
>> Yes.
>> That's supposed to be phenomenal.
>> I watched a bunch of those. I got to get
back into that.
>> Sometimes it gets a little chatty.
>> I watched a couple of them. I was like,
I see this could be really good, but my
wife wasn't into it, so we abandoned it.
>> It's It's good. I keep hearing I keep
hearing I hear once you get past like
the first few episodes, it really picks
up.
>> Yeah, it's good. It has um Thomas Jane.
What's Thomas Jane?
>> Oh, yeah. He played the Punisher. Yeah,
he's in that at least the first season.
It's good. The guy who's the lead guy
reminds me of Jon Snow if you see he he
looks like a skinnier Jon Snow
>> John Bernthal played the Punisher,
right? There was a bunch of people
played him.
>> How many people played the Punisher?
>> Well, I mean that the guy from Dolphin
that's back in the day
four of them they gave him fake stubble
and it was obvious. It was like
literally like the makeup lady didn't
even try. She just smudged some fa. It's
the the worst looking face stubble
you've ever seen in your [ __ ] life.
See if you can find that Dolph Lungren
face stubble from the Punisher. It's
like you're looking at that go like just
leave him unshaven.
>> Yeah, he was cool as him.
>> Lund
from R Steven.
>> I know, but you can't see it in there.
Like a photo from the actual
>> the actual movie. It looked like Why
does he have smudges all over his
cheeks? Yeah, I like Baronthal the best.
>> The new Spider-Man movie, he's going to
be in it. The Punisher.
>> The Punisher is supposed to be gigantic,
though. He's supposed to be like that
dude uh that plays Reaper.
>> I thought race.
Yeah, Adam Richmond. He's supposed to be
like Adam Richmond. Supposed to be
That's what The Punisher is supposed to
be. Supposed to be a giant jack dude who
kills everybody.
>> And good for Reacher for smacking that
guy around. That guy deserved it. Like,
you know, he's looks like he's riding
with his kids. The guy got in his face,
made him drop his bike, got in his face
again. He deserved to smack him.
>> He pushed him off his bike.
>> Yeah.
>> You know what the hell? That guy looked
like a [ __ ]
>> Well, he said he was drunk. So the guy
smelled like booze.
>> Oh, no [ __ ] Smack him up.
>> He was asking They showed the cops
version of the video when they went to
his house. He's like, "Could you run a
toxicology on that guy?" Cuz I think
he's drunk. He smelled like liquor. The
guy tried to knock him up. Well, you see
that guy? What are you doing? Why are
you pushing?
>> And he's real lucky he had that camera
on. You know what I mean?
>> 100%. 100%. Cuz if you only got to see
him beating that guy up, that would have
been a real [ __ ] problem cuz that guy
denied it. But he had a camera going on
his chest pack.
>> Yep.
>> Luckily.
>> Yeah.
>> You see that guy grabbing the bike and
pushing him off
>> guy put hands on him first
>> in front of kids, man.
>> There's so many people out there. If
>> you're on a bike and you fall and the
bike falls in your leg like you [ __ ]
idiot, you know dangerous. You break
someone's [ __ ] leg that way, you
drunk [ __ ]
>> 100% warranted. When I went to go see
that Project Hail Mary the other day,
dude, this these [ __ ] I got
the second row and sure enough, the
first row like five teenagers, dude,
they don't even they have their phone
and it's bright and you see it like they
don't give a [ __ ] The lady, there's a
couple next to me older. The lady comes
out, she takes the thing out. I'm like,
what? I feel like saying you should know
better, lady. What the [ __ ] And the
kids I want to I I I a couple times I
got up this and then they put it down.
I'm like I know I'm going to say
something and if I get the wrong
response am I going to smack a
15year-old? Am I going to smack if if I
get Hey, [ __ ] you guy. What's going to
happen? Cuz I'm not totally normal. I
mean, you know what I mean? I DON'T I
JUST DON'T WANT TO LIKE because there's
right and there's wrong.
>> A whole generation has not been checked.
They're gonna get smacked because
they're mouthy%
>> and I just see UFC fighter smacks 15y
old. I just see that happening. But
anyway, I got out of there without
nothing. But it's just kids are so
addicted to their phones. They can't put
them down for 5 seconds.
>> Just
crazy.
>> In movie theater, they can't stop
texting people.
>> Yeah.
>> They're not enjoying anything.
Everything they're doing, they're
getting distracted.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Which is crazy.
>> I feel like talking to their parents.
>> That's not going to help,
>> you know. Yeah.
>> No, you got to smack them.
>> Someone's got to smack them.
>> Yeah,
>> man. I'll tell you
>> that happened. Our generation, if you
acted a fool, you got slapped.
>> Yeah. If you talk mouth in a movie
theater, someone's going to get up. You
know, if you were loud in a movie
theater, people would get up and hey,
shut the [ __ ] up. Like, I've seen that
happen many times in movie theaters.
People almost get in fights.
>> They don't do that no more.
>> That is there's no repercussions. I
think a whole like what did Mike Tyson
say? A lot of what did he say? He said
something like, "A lot of people, you
get used to talking [ __ ] without getting
smacked until you get punched in the
face."
>> Something like that. Yeah. And it's just
true. Like people just don't worry about
anything, you know?
>> But there's also so many streamers that
are doing these things online where
they're provoking people on purpose that
it's almost like normalizing [ __ ]
>> I hate that. I like when they get
smacked.
>> Yeah. They think it's like they're
creating content by harassing these
people, [ __ ] with old people, like
just walking up to people in the store
and doing [ __ ] to them. I don't I don't
understand it. Tikki elbowed that kid in
the face.
>> You know what? [ __ ] that kid. He's
starting [ __ ] with everybody. I was
>> dude. I mean that's I mean I looked at
that. I'm like that's warranted. I mean
you're in my face. Tell me you're going
to [ __ ] me up. I could do this.
>> He said he was going to [ __ ] him up and
then he got close to him like he was
going to bump into him.
>> Yeah.
>> Well, I mean and you know what? They
don't even give a [ __ ] cuz they get
clicks. I don't think they give a [ __ ]
They
>> Well, that's because that's because like
they're getting hit by like regular
people. Well, except for the Tiki case,
but they're getting hit by regular
people. I'm I'm waiting for the
opportunity
to lay these for five on somebody's
chin.
>> They'll be the They'll be the first
trying to put somebody out.
>> They'll press charges. They'll sue you.
Also, you you know, if you knock
somebody out and they fall and hit their
head and die, that's a [ __ ] problem.
>> Yeah, that'll be a problem.
>> And that's a real possibility.
>> Strangle them and lay them down.
>> That liver shot,
>> right? But you know, you're not going to
throw body shots. This dummy's got in a
fight with the former UFC heavyweight
champion, the current bare knuckle
boxing champion in the world.
>> You dumb asses.
>> That was hilarious when I saw this.
>> Look, he's just teeing off on dudes.
Imagine you getting Andre Arloski's
face. How the [ __ ] do you not know who
he is? First of all,
>> again, my point exactly like, how do you
not know who Andre Olowski is? And then
they got their bodyguards next to them
to try to
>> Shout out to that dude wins bare knuckle
boxing.
>> Oh, Alaski is a stud. I mean, he's still
getting after it and he still seems to
enjoy it.
>> Like almost 30 years in the game and
he's the guy you kind of wrote off his
chin a while ago and then all a sudden
it's like I never saw a chin make a
comeback. Oh,
>> incredible. Freddy Roach said he thought
he could really be a contender if he
just had, you know, proper chin. Like he
said his boxing skills were there.
>> Well, I mean there was so many times
where he got clipped. Like the Fedor one
was the wildest.
>> He was winning that fight.
>> Yeah, he was.
>> Dude, he was good. He got caught in the
middle of a jumping knee.
>> Oh, big mistake.
>> Laces out moment right there.
>> Fedor, that [ __ ] just found ways
to win. He just found ways to win, man.
>> Sure did. Remember when uh Randleman,
was it Rand
still beat him on his neck?
>> Yeah.
>> Then he korted him.
>> Yeah. Like ain't
>> easy to kore a gorilla. You know what
I'm saying?
>> Randomman was so explosive. He was so
fast.
>> That guy was just nothing but fast
twitch muscle fiber. You saw the 100
100,
>> right?
>> He had the worst staff I've ever seen in
my life.
>> He had holes in his armpit where he lift
his armpit up and you could see the the
skin was gone. You can see the tendons
and all the ligaments underneath it.
>> See if you can find it, Jamie. It is the
craziest thing cuz staff, if you don't
get that [ __ ] treated right away and you
let it get systemic,
>> I mean, it probably led to his early
demise. It probably was something that
led to him dying early. Rest in peace.
Look at that. That's his armpit. That's
his armpit, dude. Keep his
>> keep his [ __ ] wallet in there.
>> You know how crazy that is? You know how
crazy that kind of hole is and what that
does to your body?
>> God damn.
>> Cuz it's not even when that heals up.
Like, it's going to take a long time
before your body gets back to normal.
>> Man, staff's scary, man. Staff's real
scary.
>> Oh, come on, man. We're going to
Italian.
>> I want to say
>> Pete Sprat fought a fight when he had
Didn't he fight one? He got bit by a
brown recluse. Like his leg had a
[ __ ] hole in it.
>> Well, those are scary. Those [ __ ]
>> Damn. They necrotize you. They like
their their venom burns a hole through
your muscle tissue.
>> Oh, it's horrible. You ever see brown
recluse spider bites?
>> No.
>> They It's like first it just swells up
and you get like a big zit on it and
then it eventually eats the tissue
underneath the venom. [ __ ] spiders.
>> Yeah, you got to get that treated right
away. And even then it's like really
dangerous. People die from it. Brown
reclus are scary [ __ ] spiders. See if
you can find brown recluse spider
injury.
>> Nasty, dude.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Creepy little [ __ ] bugs out
there.
>> Think I'm going to get the eggplant roll
aini later on.
We'll see what else we have.
>> I just want to show you one more gross
thing and then we can move on.
>> Land.
Like
>> dang.
>> Yeah. Look at that [ __ ] man.
>> Come on, man. Was that a water balloon?
>> Burns burns a hole in you.
>> This is like
>> Yeah. Where do those things live at? I
don't want to get bit by that.
>> Texas.
>> They're all over the place.
>> They're all over the place. It's We're
so lucky they're little.
>> Oh, you got that [ __ ] out here. Those
things. But imagine that was as big as a
bear.
>> Yeah.
>> Imagine a praying man is as big as a
bear.
>> Dude, in Long Island, I guess we just
got some [ __ ] out there, but we
don't got to worry about [ __ ] We
don't got to worry about no [ __ ]
things getting our flesh off and [ __ ]
>> Just a few serial killers. Yeah, a few
serial killers,
guys wearing white beaders, that's it.
>> I was just watching this video where
they said the most popular job for
serial killer is those long range
truckers.
>> Makes sense.
>> Yeah.
>> I mean, you got I mean, you're on the
road, got a lot of access to a lot of
different people.
>> Yeah. And also, you think you just
>> keep it moving. Keep it moving.
>> Keep it moving. Yeah.
>> Before they even know what happened,
you're gone.
>> Yeah.
>> There's a bunch of them that are linked
potentially to the long range truckers
that they've never solved.
>> Really? Yeah, they don't catch a lot of
those guys. That's what's [ __ ] up. You
want to think like that life's like a
movie
>> where they catch where they catch them
all in the end.
>> But random killers are some of the
hardest to catch cuz they just show up,
kill somebody, leave. And there's no
rhyme or reason to it. They just wanted
to kill somebody. So there's no like
motive.
>> It's hard to tell. And if they've done
it and not gotten caught for a few
years, if they're clever like a lot of
these guys, like the Zodiac Killer, he
was brilliant. He wrote things in code.
They had the I don't even know if they
ever cracked all of it. They never They
still don't know who the [ __ ] it was.
>> They did that movie.
>> Yeah, I saw I saw that movie, right?
>> Yeah, they kind of made it like it was
the Janetti guy.
>> I don't think they know. I mean, unless
there's some new data, unless there's
some new information. I think it's an
unsolved mystery, but he was obviously
brilliant. So, you got a really smart
guy who's just randomly killing people
and he's also taunting you with letters,
leaving letters behind. It's got to be a
little more difficult now with all the
cameras and [ __ ]
>> What has John Dunn ever been up to? Does
he have an
alibi from Gho Beach? Was he in New York
at that time?
>> The dark lord trying out new techniques.
>> Yeah, it's [ __ ] great.
>> All right, boys. Should we wrap this up?
>> Man, good times.
>> Oh, one more thing. We should probably
talk about uh the White House card.
>> Oo,
>> yeah. Like
>> you going?
>> Yeah. Unless things get crazy
>> between now and then. But the idea of
them fighting outside in Washington DC
in the middle of the summer,
>> nice humidity and heat, crazy to me. You
ask someone to dehydrate themselves, to
cut weight, you know, I mean, think
about uh Gachi. Gachi is going to cut.
He's got to cut to get to 55. Ilia
probably doesn't have to cut too much,
but you're fighting for the world title
and you're fighting outside. That's
>> the noon. The noon time has now been
corrected, which makes more sense.
>> We get good weather.
>> So, it the the pay-per-view or the main
card starts at 8:00 p.m. Eastern.
>> Hey, I was in the middle. I was in Abu
Dhabi when they did that.
>> That's a little better, but also me as
it can rain.
>> It could easily rain. There's going to
be bugs.
>> Imagine getting lit up by mosquitoes
while while you're mounting a guy and
you hear him and you
>> will
they put a tent up over the
>> I don't know what they're going to do,
>> dude. Back in the day, they'd have King
of Cage. It was like raining out and
[ __ ]
>> It was called wet or something. Wild.
Yeah.
>> It's a mess. Fights outside are a mess.
>> It's a mess. It's a terrible idea. I
hate it.
>> There was a couple inches of rain in
that cage. That was a crazy show.
>> If you're fighting in an elite world
championship level, you should be
fighting in a controlled environment.
Period. It's already a problem enough to
fight to deal with.
>> Why cause the extra factors?
>> Yeah. All these variables that you might
not get the best fighter,
>> right? And you, it also might severely
impair someone who's had gone through a
big weight cut if it's really hot out.
Like I don't know what it's going to be
like, but we looked it up. Wasn't it
last year at that same date?
>> Was it I think that was 202 I guess
four, but still it's like
>> it was it was like 100 degrees. Yeah,
dude. I live it there. I live in
Baltimore.
>> It'll be hotund.
>> Everybody's dealing with the same thing,
though. So it's not like somebody's got
something different to deal with,
>> right? But it's not fair cuz people deal
with them differently.
>> If if you're having world championship
fights where the you're going to decide
who's the best in the world, it should
be in a controlled environment.
>> Yeah.
>> You know,
>> the White House, baby. It's still the
[ __ ] D. We were legal in New York
when I was fighting
>> and now we're at the [ __ ] White
House.
>> It's crazy. It's crazy that they're
doing it. I support all crazy things.
So,
>> I'm going too. So,
>> yeah. Well, yeah. I just Yeah,
>> you have to. It's your job. I just Yeah,
I just got I just got the call for
clearance. I'm going. So,
>> I'll be watching on Paramount Plus.
>> Yeah,
>> Jimmy wanted to go. He's like, can we
go? I'm like
>> I'm like
outside in the audience. That's the
question.
>> I don't know like how many people are
going to Is it going to be a round
thing?
>> Well, apparently I think on on
Saturday's broadcast they're going to
announce like how it's going to look. M.
>> So, like that's part of I think part of
the allure for watching Saturday shows.
They're going to announce how it's
supposed to look.
>> It's exciting though. You got to say,
"Fuck it."
>> It's crazy. It's definitely crazy. Only
this president would do it.
>> Yeah.
>> Oh,
>> this card you saying this card coming
out Saturday? Oh, yeah. Saturday is a
very good card.
>> I'm telling you, the Makonov and Paulo
Costa was the one that I got my eye on.
I'm like, that could be very
interesting. Mhm.
>> It' be very interesting cuz Paulo is a
big [ __ ] middleweight. It might do
him good later in his career to go up to
light heavyweight.
>> I think so.
>> Mer
he's only 5'10".
>> Yeah. He's he's short.
>> Yeah.
>> Oh, he's got weight to cut, too. I mean,
he's not exactly he ain't he ain'tow,
you know.
>> No, no, no. Not even close. He's
definitely carries much more body fat on
him. But
>> who has he fought that's close? Has he
fought anybody?
>> Rockage. Stopped Rockage first round his
last fight.
>> That's it. Um, but he hasn't. It's been
hard for him to get fights. They made
Dana a little taller there.
>> Yeah, but they put they put light in
this since this the only thing he said
would stop the fight.
>> Yeah. Well, that could be it.
>> Yeah, that would suck. Imagine if
someone died from getting hit by
lightning.
>> Yeah, that raise their hand up at the
end of the fight and they get hit by
lightning.
>> That'd be a bad look for the UFC, I
think.
>> I just don't Bruce Buffer gets it. I I I
like the idea on paper, but the fact
that I'm gonna be there,
>> sequin jacket attracted the lights.
>> Jesus Christ, this is going to be crazy.
Pro people are probably gonna protest
it. It's going to be nuts.
>> Yeah, it's going to be a lot of
protesters out there. Well,
>> for sure
going to come and protest cuz it's going
to be a lot of proTrump people in that
audience. It could be a mess.
>> Well, that's what they like. You know, a
lot of people that are running this
world like when there's fights and
chaos. They like rioting and they'll
connect it to Trump and they'll spin it
and connect it to whatever the [ __ ] they
want to.
>> I just want to see some good fights. Sir
Gan and Pereira is a very good fight.
>> Very good fight. Very interesting fight.
>> Just because of Gan poking everybody in
their eyes, I'd be happy to see him
lose. But he's I mean the size is real
and and he's got legit skills.
>> Legit skills. That tie to Iasa fight.
remember those combinations he was
sitting tie with.
>> Mhm.
>> Acting skills also KO on Netflix.
>> Uh setting up the south lawn will begin
one month out compared to a few days out
normal arena. Uh Dana and Donald will
have 200 tickets each to assign to who
they want. 84 from each will be chosen
for a VIP event inside the White House
prior to the fights. Most of the rest of
the tickets will go to military
personnel. The event will have custom
fight kits for all fighters on the card.
Wow.
>> And then more to come Saturday with
>> more to come Saturday.
So, there'll probably be an announcement
at the UFC that we'll have to talk
about. Should be interesting.
>> Nobody's given Justin a chance here.
>> Justin's a [ __ ] animal, dude. I mean,
I love And look how technical he fought
when he had to fight phys. And he's a
very technical fighter.
>> Yeah. If you go by the way fought Patty,
he kind of just walked Patty down. He
just like was just I'm going to create
chaos.
>> But you also got to kind of give Patty a
little break where he did get poked in
the [ __ ] eye early. And and more. Did
he get more once more than
>> I mean I I think too Gage fought with
staff to pretty much everybody thought
so. I mean
>> put that thing on his neck. Yeah.
>> He said it wasn't an ingrown air.
>> I mean he can say you know he's not
going to tell everybody he's got staff
before the fight.
>> He could say it after the fight. He
looked good though.
>> You know
>> he's a [ __ ] animal too.
>> He he and the only reason I think that
is he don't really get tired and he
seemed like he's mentally so tough he
just pushed through the tired. But you
could see he was he was fatigued at the
end of that fight. Well, he's a a
complicated riddle on the feet, too.
He's He's a good standup fighter, man. I
mean, when he knocked out Dustin with
that head kick, he's [ __ ]
>> Oh, yeah. He's [ __ ] He's [ __ ]
good.
>> I'm I'm a GI fan.
>> Love to see him do it.
>> And in the early days, man, he was one
of the wildest guys to watch ever. That
