Joe Rogan Experience - Fight Companion - May 27, 2018

1. 0:00 – 1:00

   Early start, time zones, and Till–Wonderboy stakes

   1. JRJoe Rogan0:00

      Three, two, one. Bam! We're live. We got up early as a motherfucker, ladies and gentlemen. Not really.

   2. BSBrendan Schaub0:09

      Nah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:10

      It's 10:00 AM. Didn't we do one at like 4:00 AM before?

   4. BSBrendan Schaub0:13

      We did one at 5:00 AM. Remember that?

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:14

      What was that for? What was it-

   6. BSBrendan Schaub0:15

      Damn.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:16

      What was that for?

   8. BSBrendan Schaub0:16

      It was a, uh, it was a England card, right?

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:19

      Was it? Something.

   10. BSBrendan Schaub0:21

       It was UFC Congo.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:21

       Maybe it was like China or something. Congo. (laughs)

   12. BSBrendan Schaub0:24

       It might've been China.

   13. EBEddie Bravo0:25

       It might've been China. Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:25

       It might've been China. Like, what time is it-

   15. BSBrendan Schaub0:26

       That makes sense.

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:27

       ... in Africa right now? Was it yesterday?

   17. BSBrendan Schaub0:29

       Fuck.

   18. EBEddie Bravo0:29

       Yes-

   19. BSBrendan Schaub0:30

       I think it's... They're 12 hours ahead.

   20. EBEddie Bravo0:32

       Is it yest- Is it Wednesday in Africa? (laughs)

   21. BSBrendan Schaub0:36

       (laughs)

   22. JRJoe Rogan0:36

       (laughs)

   23. EBEddie Bravo0:36

       (laughs)

   24. JRJoe Rogan0:36

       It's definitely 1960.

   25. BSBrendan Schaub0:39

       (laughs)

   26. EBEddie Bravo0:40

       (laughs)

   27. JRJoe Rogan0:40

       (laughs) I forgot he knocked out Whittaker. We're looking at Wonderboy, uh, stopping Whittaker. That's-

   28. BSBrendan Schaub0:44

       At se- yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan0:44

       That's big.

   30. BSBrendan Schaub0:45

       At 70.
2. 1:00 – 2:51

   Till misses weight: advantage, ethics, and Wonderboy’s rehydration clause

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00

      Well, I think Till really is a bad, bad man. There's no question about it. But he did come up real short on the weigh-in, which really bums me out. Now, I had heard that his pregnant girlfriend is in, this is what everyone's saying, is in the hospital and that she's had some serious issues and he's been going back and forth to the hospital. And he hasn't... He just didn't have a chance to cut the weight right. A lot of people claim, you know, that that's exactly what the, what the issue was. I don't know.

   2. BSBrendan Schaub1:31

      That drama's never good, especially your first-

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:34

      Not good.

   4. BSBrendan Schaub1:34

      ... main card, main event in your hometown against Wonderboy.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:38

      Yeah.

   6. BSBrendan Schaub1:38

      There's enough pressure as it is.

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:40

      Well, the Cowboy fight was a big pressure fight, but he rose to the occasion of that in a big way.

   8. BSBrendan Schaub1:43

      Not really though. Was it? Was it? 'Cause we didn't know who he was, really.

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:46

      Yeah. But it was his opportunity to fight Cowboy.

   10. BSBrendan Schaub1:47

       For sure, but you're fighting a smaller guy. It's against Cowboy, you know?

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:50

       True.

   12. BSBrendan Schaub1:51

       So, he goes forward and does work. Now, it's like, man, uh, I mean, there's been guys who have blown up before, but the, the hype on, uh, Till... And I'm all up on his dick, but, you know, there's a ton of hype on him.

   13. JRJoe Rogan2:02

       Mm-hmm.

   14. BSBrendan Schaub2:02

       If he wins this one, it's off to the races.

   15. JRJoe Rogan2:04

       It is, but he's fucking four and a half pounds over championship weight. That is a lot. That's not a little. That's a lot.

   16. BSBrendan Schaub2:11

       It's such an advantage too.

   17. JRJoe Rogan2:12

       It's a big advantage.

   18. BSBrendan Schaub2:13

       You know, fighters that have missed weight are undefeated this year. When they still fight, they're undefeated.

   19. JRJoe Rogan2:17

       Yeah. It's a big advantage. I think that with Wonderboy-

   20. BSBrendan Schaub2:19

       It's a form of cheating.

   21. JRJoe Rogan2:20

       It is a for... If you do it on purpose, for sure. I think what's interesting what Wonderboy did. He said, "You gotta weigh 188 the next day."

   22. BSBrendan Schaub2:26

       Tight move.

   23. JRJoe Rogan2:27

       Yeah. Very smart.

   24. BSBrendan Schaub2:28

       'Cause Till's a big boy.

   25. JRJoe Rogan2:29

       Yeah.

   26. BSBrendan Schaub2:29

       Till's a really big boy.

   27. JRJoe Rogan2:30

       Very, very smart. Like, whatever advantage that he got from not cutting that extra three pounds, you know, now he's, uh... Three and a half pounds? Now he's, um, you know, lost a little bit of it, I guess.

   28. BSBrendan Schaub2:40

       If-

   29. JRJoe Rogan2:40

       Still-

   30. BSBrendan Schaub2:41

       If you're Wonderboy, though, you wanna drag this into later rounds. You know he's gonna come out aggressive. You know he's had some drama cutting weight and he had to cut more weight to maintain it the day-
3. 2:51 – 5:00

   Style breakdown: karate distance vs. pressure boxing

   1. JRJoe Rogan2:51

      Yeah. Yeah. It's all fascinating, man. It's all fascinating. We're gonna find out a lot. The other thing is too, the styles. Like, what Wonderboy does is, uh, at kicking distance. Like if you watch, like, the exchanges that he's at, he, he moves real good at the waist, like a snake, like back and forth, but he wants to keep you not even at Muay Thai kicking distance. He keeps you at karate kicking distance.

   2. BSBrendan Schaub3:15

      Far.

   3. JRJoe Rogan3:15

      Which is sideways and very far.

   4. BSBrendan Schaub3:17

      Far. Tough to reach.

   5. JRJoe Rogan3:18

      And Darren's gotta close that gap. And closing that gap is when Wonderboy's the most dangerous. And if you see some of his training footage, he seems to be concentrating on blitzing in and then... And countering and sidestepping-

   6. BSBrendan Schaub3:31

      Getting out.

   7. JRJoe Rogan3:31

      ... and countering. Yeah, and getting out.

   8. BSBrendan Schaub3:33

      Like a matador.

   9. JRJoe Rogan3:33

      Yeah.

   10. BSBrendan Schaub3:33

       And if... If you look at Wonderboy's history, uh, whenever he fights aggressive dudes, they get fucked up.

   11. JRJoe Rogan3:39

       Up. Yeah. That's like his best style.

   12. BSBrendan Schaub3:40

       That's literally what he wants.

   13. JRJoe Rogan3:41

       It's his best style.

   14. BSBrendan Schaub3:41

       He's like, "Come on. Bring it on." And that's what Till wants to do.

   15. JRJoe Rogan3:44

       Yeah. It's gonna be very interesting.

   16. BSBrendan Schaub3:46

       It's gonna be a scary fight.

   17. JRJoe Rogan3:46

       Very interesting.

   18. BSBrendan Schaub3:46

       But I'm telling you, man, if... Nothing in this fight would surprise me unless Darren Till just goes out there and just murks him.

   19. JRJoe Rogan3:51

       Murks him. Yeah.

   20. BSBrendan Schaub3:51

       Just no respect. Murk him. That's the only thing that would surprise me. But if Till does win, strap a fucking rocket ship to that boy's back 'cause-

   21. JRJoe Rogan3:58

       Yeah.

   22. BSBrendan Schaub3:58

       ... now that Bisping's retired, UK needs a face. That's him.

   23. JRJoe Rogan4:01

       Yeah.

   24. BSBrendan Schaub4:01

       That... He's the fucking guy, man.

   25. JRJoe Rogan4:03

       Yeah. Even if he loses, he could still be that. He's 25 years old. I mean-

   26. BSBrendan Schaub4:06

       Yeah, but not to that extent, you know? Like, if you beat Wonderboy and you, you knock out Wonderboy-

   27. JRJoe Rogan4:11

       Right.

   28. BSBrendan Schaub4:11

       ... it's fucking... I mean-

   29. JRJoe Rogan4:12

       Off to the races.

   30. BSBrendan Schaub4:13

       ... UK is... Yeah. It's on, man.
4. 5:00 – 6:21

   Card talk: undercard names, replacements, and matchup risk for Wonderboy

   1. EBEddie Bravo5:00

      Eddie Brown, what'd you think? Damn. (clears throat)

   2. JRJoe Rogan5:03

      There's gonna be no jiu-jitsu in this, Eddie. No jiu-jits.

   3. EBEddie Bravo5:05

      I, all I know about-

   4. BSBrendan Schaub5:06

      If that goes to the ground, we're all fucked.

   5. EBEddie Bravo5:07

      All I know about Darren Till is his fight with Cerrone. That's it. Um, this card, uh, you know, is, um, it's gonna be interesting.

   6. BSBrendan Schaub5:16

      You were gonna have-

   7. EBEddie Bravo5:17

      I don't really know about that one.

   8. BSBrendan Schaub5:17

      You were gonna have Gunnar Nelson on the card though.

   9. EBEddie Bravo5:19

      (laughs)

   10. BSBrendan Schaub5:19

       You were gonna have-

   11. EBEddie Bravo5:19

       Is Gunnar Nelson on the card?

   12. BSBrendan Schaub5:20

       No, he got hurt. But you're gonna have Gunnar Nelson, Neil Magny, which was a fun fight.

   13. JRJoe Rogan5:23

       That's a great fight.

   14. BSBrendan Schaub5:24

       They were gonna do Gunnar Nelson and Till, but for whatever reason they decided to go with Wonderboy.

   15. EBEddie Bravo5:28

       Jason Knight. I know, I know about him. Did he already fight? On the undercard or is he on the main card?

   16. BSBrendan Schaub5:32

       No, he's, he's on the main card. He's on the main card.

   17. EBEddie Bravo5:33

       Oh, beautiful. Who is he fighting?

   18. BSBrendan Schaub5:35

       Um... Oh, my God. Uh, he has a tough fight. Very tough fight.

   19. NANarrator5:40

       Makhmudamir Khan.

   20. JRJoe Rogan5:41

       Oh.

   21. BSBrendan Schaub5:41

       Amirkhani. Yeah, he's a monster.

   22. JRJoe Rogan5:41

       Makhmuda Makhmudamir Khan.

   23. BSBrendan Schaub5:42

       Yeah.

   24. JRJoe Rogan5:42

       Yeah.

   25. NANarrator5:42

       The Japanese guy?

   26. BSBrendan Schaub5:43

       No, no, no, no, no.

   27. JRJoe Rogan5:44

       No. He's, uh... Well, he lives in Finland, but, uh, what is his, uh, background?

   28. NANarrator5:49

       He's of Kurdistan.

   29. EBEddie Bravo5:50

       Who's that right now?

   30. JRJoe Rogan5:51

       Kurdistan it says.
5. 6:21 – 8:44

   Welterweight title picture: Woodley, Colby, RDA, and matchmaking politics

   1. JRJoe Rogan6:21

      Like, there's just... I, I feel like all the pressure's off Wonderboy right now, especially after he missed the weight. But I just... If you're Wonderboy, you... Even if you starch Till, they're not giving you a title shot. Until Woodley loses that strap, Wonderboy's not fighting for a title. 14-2-1 for Wonderboy. You gotta remember, the only loss was to Tyron Woodley and then to, um-

   2. BSBrendan Schaub6:42

      Matt Brown.

   3. JRJoe Rogan6:44

      ... Matt Brown. Those two fights and one draw with Woodley. Crazy. It's a title-

   4. BSBrendan Schaub6:49

      So why couldn't he fight Woodley again? They fought them... (laughs)

   5. JRJoe Rogan6:52

      Well, that's the, that's what he's asking. First of all, he's saying, "Why don't I get a shot at the interim title?" How are you giving the interim title to Colby Covington, who only beat Demian Maia, who's 40 years old, who's clearly past his prime? How is, how is that good enough to get him a shot at the interim title when I don't-

   6. BSBrendan Schaub7:08

      'Cause he talked a lot of shit.

   7. JRJoe Rogan7:09

      That's it.

   8. BSBrendan Schaub7:10

      Yeah, there you go.

   9. JRJoe Rogan7:10

      That's basically it. But-

   10. BSBrendan Schaub7:11

       That goes a long way. (laughs)

   11. JRJoe Rogan7:12

       (laughs)

   12. BSBrendan Schaub7:12

       But at the same time... Yeah, it goes a long way this day and age. But at the same time, with RDA, you know, they're not doing Colby any favors sending him down to Bra-... Oh, no, I'm sorry, it's in Chicago.

   13. JRJoe Rogan7:20

       Yeah, Chicago.

   14. BSBrendan Schaub7:21

       In Chicago to fight RDA, which is... If you look at Colby's style, it's probably the worst matchup for him. He's a heavy, uh, underdog. So I, I'm, I'm, I'm hoping... Not hoping, I think what their plan would be RDA wins that, fights Woodley, which is a tough matchup for Woodley, and if RDA were able to, to beat Woodley, then you have Wonderboy slip in there.

   15. JRJoe Rogan7:39

       Or Colby wins and then you got mad shit talking with him and Woodley, and it gets very interesting.

   16. BSBrendan Schaub7:47

       Gets super interesting.

   17. JRJoe Rogan7:47

       That's... I like that fight.

   18. BSBrendan Schaub7:48

       It's a good fight.

   19. JRJoe Rogan7:49

       I like Colby and Tyron.

   20. BSBrendan Schaub7:50

       Uh, Colby's the underdog in every one of those fights.

   21. JRJoe Rogan7:52

       Yeah. He is, yeah.

   22. BSBrendan Schaub7:53

       But RDA/Woodley, you got a barn burner here.

   23. JRJoe Rogan7:55

       Yeah.

   24. BSBrendan Schaub7:55

       That's a great matchup.

   25. JRJoe Rogan7:56

       Yeah. RDA/Woodley's very interesting.

   26. BSBrendan Schaub7:59

       'Cause, 'cause as much as, as they... You know, I l- I love Woodley, I think his style's ridiculous, he's gonna be tough to beat. You know, I think they want some bit of turnover in there-

   27. JRJoe Rogan8:07

       Mm-hmm.

   28. BSBrendan Schaub8:07

       ... with Woodley. That's what they-

   29. JRJoe Rogan8:08

       Man.

   30. BSBrendan Schaub8:08

       They want some turnover.
6. 8:44 – 10:20

   Injuries, PRP, and Woodley’s shoulder surgery recovery timeline

   1. BSBrendan Schaub8:44

      Also, I think Woodley just got through shoulder surgery. He just got his labrum repaired, which is not the worst shoulder surgery. And he just did-

   2. JRJoe Rogan8:51

      What does that mean exactly? Stapled the labrum back to his bone?

   3. BSBrendan Schaub8:54

      The labrum... No, the labrum, uh, he had some sort of a tear in it that, that fucked up in the Demian Maia fight, like, instantly. (clears throat) They stitched it back together again, but he's gone through crazy PRP and all kinds of other shit. Now, he put up a video of him hitting mitts, and it's only been about three months since the surgery, and he's hitting mitts hard. I don't know if that's an old video, though. He's sneaky. (laughs) You know, he put up this video- (laughs) He's a freak though.

   4. JRJoe Rogan9:19

      ... of him.

   5. BSBrendan Schaub9:19

      He might, he might be doing, you know, getting some injections in there.

   6. JRJoe Rogan9:22

      Yeah, but that's not... That's... He definitely got some injections.

   7. BSBrendan Schaub9:23

      Yeah.

   8. JRJoe Rogan9:24

      He was talking about all the different things that he's gonna do-

   9. BSBrendan Schaub9:26

      Yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan9:26

       ... for, as far as thir-... He came on the podcast just a few weeks after shoulder surgery, and he was moving around normal and moving his hands around normal. But it, it really depends entirely on how bad the s-... The big one is the bicep tendon. When the bicep tendon gets torn off the muscle, or off the bone, and then they have to put it back in and staple it down-

   11. BSBrendan Schaub9:44

       Staple it. Never works, yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan9:44

       ... and then they have to... It does work right now, now does. Not for pitchers. If you're a pitcher and that shit goes south-

   13. BSBrendan Schaub9:51

       Not good.

   14. JRJoe Rogan9:51

       ... you're diggity-done. But for a fighter, no problem. Doesn't seem to be a problem for fighters.

   15. BSBrendan Schaub9:55

       But, but I bet Woodley... So you got RDA, Colby. So they'll... Obviously the winner of that will fight Woodley, uh, end of the year. Woodley will be back end of the year, no doubt.

   16. JRJoe Rogan10:03

       Yeah, could very well be on the December 31st card, you know. That's a big one.

   17. BSBrendan Schaub10:08

       Huge card.

   18. JRJoe Rogan10:08

       Uh, you know, I mean, I think they were trying to talk about him being on the August card in LA, but that's not gonna happen.

   19. BSBrendan Schaub10:14

       God damn, that's soon. Yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan10:15

       That's a damn good card right now, right?

   21. BSBrendan Schaub10:18

       LA is?

   22. JRJoe Rogan10:18

       Who do they...

   23. BSBrendan Schaub10:19

       Isn't it? Who's on that LA card?

7. 10:20 – 12:12

   Upcoming UFC cards: LA vs. Chicago, and the CM Punk controversy

   1. JRJoe Rogan10:20

      Well, they were waiting for, for GSP/Ney, and obviously that's not happening, so what do you, who do you have now in LA? Let's see. Let's pull that up. Young Chang...

   2. BSBrendan Schaub10:27

      Did they put... Did they find a, uh, opponent for, uh, Zibit?

   3. JRJoe Rogan10:31

      Is this gonna be at Staples?

   4. BSBrendan Schaub10:32

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan10:32

      Yeah. Well, they, they, they want to do Cyborg versus Nunes.

   6. BSBrendan Schaub10:37

      Not happening, Nunes is suspended.

   7. JRJoe Rogan10:39

      Is she?

   8. BSBrendan Schaub10:39

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan10:39

      What's she hurt?

   10. BSBrendan Schaub10:41

       Uh, her hands from whooping that ass.

   11. JRJoe Rogan10:43

       Whooping that ass? Damn. Oh yeah, TJ and Cody. Woo hoo hoo!

   12. BSBrendan Schaub10:48

       Damn.

   13. JRJoe Rogan10:50

       (laughs)

   14. BSBrendan Schaub10:50

       That's LA?

   15. JRJoe Rogan10:51

       Yeah. Ooh, I'm very excited.

   16. BSBrendan Schaub10:52

       So the card's not-

   17. JRJoe Rogan10:53

       No, it's a little dark.

   18. BSBrendan Schaub10:53

       ... it's a struggle street right now. What's the date?

   19. JRJoe Rogan10:55

       The card? Not nearly as good. August 4th. Card, card's not nearly as good as it was gonna be.

   20. BSBrendan Schaub10:59

       No. It was gonna be a barn burner, but-

   21. JRJoe Rogan11:01

       Yeah.

   22. BSBrendan Schaub11:02

       ... Chicago's s- s- s- stacked.

   23. JRJoe Rogan11:05

       S- s- s- stacked.

   24. BSBrendan Schaub11:05

       Yeah, so far this card is, uh, not the greatest. (laughs)

   25. JRJoe Rogan11:09

       Well, it has a lot of time.

   26. BSBrendan Schaub11:09

       No.

   27. JRJoe Rogan11:09

       (laughs) It's not the greatest. But it has some time, though. It does. We're only in May.

   28. BSBrendan Schaub11:14

       And there's some great fights coming up.

   29. JRJoe Rogan11:19

       Robert Whittaker-Yeuel Romero, son!

   30. BSBrendan Schaub11:21

       That's gonna be crazy.
8. 12:12 – 19:45

   Fight companion live reaction: Spicely fight and ESPN deal begins

   1. BSBrendan Schaub12:12

      Spicey's good. He's about to fight now.

   2. EBEddie Bravo12:14

      Eric Spicely, what do you guys know about him?

   3. JRJoe Rogan12:16

      I don't know anything about him.

   4. EBEddie Bravo12:17

      No?

   5. JRJoe Rogan12:18

      I mean, I've probably seen him fight before.

   6. BSBrendan Schaub12:19

      He's- he's- he's-

   7. EBEddie Bravo12:20

      He's a blackbelt in Jiu-Jitsu.

   8. BSBrendan Schaub12:21

      ... his Jiu-Jitsu is really good.

   9. JRJoe Rogan12:22

      Yeah, he's the favorite.

   10. EBEddie Bravo12:23

       He's really good.

   11. JRJoe Rogan12:24

       He has a weird body. Um, where's he from, Jake?

   12. EBEddie Bravo12:28

       Somewhere on the East Coast, but he- when he's in LA, he comes through my school.

   13. JRJoe Rogan12:31

       He's really good.

   14. EBEddie Bravo12:32

       He's really good at Jiu-Jitsu. He mercs everybody.

   15. JRJoe Rogan12:34

       Really?

   16. EBEddie Bravo12:34

       Yeah.

   17. BSBrendan Schaub12:35

       Does that, does that CM Punk, Jackson stuff bother you, Joe? Or are you used to it now?

   18. JRJoe Rogan12:39

       Yeah, bothers me. Yeah. I, I don't like it. I don't mind him fighting. I think it's great that he's fighting.

   19. BSBrendan Schaub12:43

       In the UFC?

   20. JRJoe Rogan12:43

       I think it's great that he's testing himself.

   21. BSBrendan Schaub12:44

       In the UFC?

   22. JRJoe Rogan12:45

       Even if they wanted to do him in the UFC, have him on the, the, you know, the prelims, put him on FS1. You know, make it, you know, make it a, um, a fight pass thing. No, it's a problem.

   23. BSBrendan Schaub12:56

       I think his contract won't allow that. I think if his contract can't be pay-per-view.

   24. JRJoe Rogan12:59

       If it has to be pay-per-view?

   25. EBEddie Bravo13:00

       (laughs)

   26. JRJoe Rogan13:00

       I'd assume if you're CM Punk, you're that big of a draw. Maybe he was. Is he still, do you think? How many people are gonna buy that pay-per-view to watch him fight?

   27. BSBrendan Schaub13:08

       I don't know.

   28. EBEddie Bravo13:09

       Is it-

   29. BSBrendan Schaub13:09

       That first one, he-

   30. EBEddie Bravo13:09

       Sam Punk?
9. 19:45 – 23:13

   Translation, interviewing flow, and why podcasts beat standard promo hits

   1. JRJoe Rogan19:45

      It's hard, you know. When, when I had, uh, Yoel Ron, it was the best 'cause Joey was translating for Yoel. And so Yoel-

   2. BSBrendan Schaub19:51

      No one better than Joey to translate.

   3. JRJoe Rogan19:53

      ... it was great, it was great. It's a fucking hard gig though.

   4. BSBrendan Schaub19:56

      Translating?

   5. JRJoe Rogan19:56

      Translating.

   6. BSBrendan Schaub19:57

      Nightmare.

   7. JRJoe Rogan19:58

      I can't imagine.

   8. BSBrendan Schaub19:58

      They should have Joey do it for all the fighters.

   9. JRJoe Rogan20:00

      I mean, Eddie, you speak Spanish. You, you know how hard it is.

   10. FFFight Companion Additional Guest (unidentified, likely a comedian friend)20:02

       I barely speak Spanish.

   11. JRJoe Rogan20:03

       But you speak enough, like, to talk to people.

   12. FFFight Companion Additional Guest (unidentified, likely a comedian friend)20:05

       Yeah. You know, we keep it light.

   13. JRJoe Rogan20:08

       Yeah.

   14. FFFight Companion Additional Guest (unidentified, likely a comedian friend)20:08

       F- soon as we get deep, I'm lost. It sounds like Iranian.

   15. BSBrendan Schaub20:11

       As soon as they start, start, they, they start real flowing fast and-

   16. FFFight Companion Additional Guest (unidentified, likely a comedian friend)20:13

       Yeah.

   17. BSBrendan Schaub20:13

       ... fast and loose.

   18. FFFight Companion Additional Guest (unidentified, likely a comedian friend)20:14

       Well, my grandma, when she start ... You know, I was the first of the grandkids to lose Spanish and, uh, felt really shameful because of that. But, uh, man, it was, it was ver- it was really embarrassing hanging out with my grandmother and she's going off, and I'm like, "I don't know what she's saying."

   19. BSBrendan Schaub20:29

       (laughs) "Hello."

   20. FFFight Companion Additional Guest (unidentified, likely a comedian friend)20:29

       I'm looking over to my aunts and my uncles.

   21. JRJoe Rogan20:31

       Like, "Come on, man."

   22. FFFight Companion Additional Guest (unidentified, likely a comedian friend)20:31

       I'm like, "What did she just say?" (laughs)

   23. BSBrendan Schaub20:33

       That's hilarious.

   24. FFFight Companion Additional Guest (unidentified, likely a comedian friend)20:34

       It's very, very embarrassing.

   25. BSBrendan Schaub20:35

       It's tough when you have a translator 'cause you don't get w- in that flow.

   26. FFFight Companion Additional Guest (unidentified, likely a comedian friend)20:38

       Yeah.

   27. BSBrendan Schaub20:38

       Like, you know when you're in a pod- there's, there's a flow and you're, like, kinda connecting going back and forth?

   28. FFFight Companion Additional Guest (unidentified, likely a comedian friend)20:42

       Mm-hmm.

   29. BSBrendan Schaub20:42

       Where if there's a translator, it just, it ... the chemistry's not there.

   30. FFFight Companion Additional Guest (unidentified, likely a comedian friend)20:46

       Right.
10. 23:13 – 30:06

    Nicknames, combat sports branding, and a detour into rat-hunting dogs

    1. JRJoe Rogan23:13

       B- yeah, well, it's already been taken too. Josh Neer.

    2. BSBrendan Schaub23:15

       Yeah, come on, bro.

    3. JRJoe Rogan23:16

       Old school.

    4. FFFight Companion Additional Guest (unidentified, likely a comedian friend)23:17

       That's a great name. Dude that knocks teeth out?

    5. JRJoe Rogan23:19

       Yeah.

    6. FFFight Companion Additional Guest (unidentified, likely a comedian friend)23:19

       Come on, man.

    7. JRJoe Rogan23:20

       What's a guy like-

    8. BSBrendan Schaub23:21

       Beautiful.

    9. JRJoe Rogan23:21

       Like, Josh Neer, in my opinion-

    10. FFFight Companion Additional Guest (unidentified, likely a comedian friend)23:22

        That's like the janitor that will sweep you up.

    11. JRJoe Rogan23:24

        ... is like, he's a guy that if you're a hardcore fan-

    12. FFFight Companion Additional Guest (unidentified, likely a comedian friend)23:26

        Janitor's a good one.

    13. JRJoe Rogan23:26

        ... you know who Josh Neer is. And Josh Neer has been around a long time.

    14. BSBrendan Schaub23:30

        The new fans don't know him though, so they're like, "Ooh, dentist? That's so cool."

    15. JRJoe Rogan23:33

        He's still, he's still ... That's like calling yourself Hands of Stone if you're a boxer. Lay the fuck off.

    16. FFFight Companion Additional Guest (unidentified, likely a comedian friend)23:38

        Yeah, true.

    17. BSBrendan Schaub23:38

        That's Roberto Duran.

    18. FFFight Companion Additional Guest (unidentified, likely a comedian friend)23:39

        Yeah.

    19. BSBrendan Schaub23:39

        Back the fuck up. I'm not saying that Josh Neer's in the same breath as R- Roberto Duran.

    20. FFFight Companion Additional Guest (unidentified, likely a comedian friend)23:43

        But still.

    21. BSBrendan Schaub23:44

        But, but as a fan, a fan for a long time.

    22. FFFight Companion Additional Guest (unidentified, likely a comedian friend)23:47

        Hardcore fan.

    23. BSBrendan Schaub23:47

        Yeah, that's his nickname.

    24. FFFight Companion Additional Guest (unidentified, likely a comedian friend)23:48

        Someone had hands of stone though, like someone-

    25. JRJoe Rogan23:50

        John Lineker. John Lineker.

    26. BSBrendan Schaub23:52

        Someone from Canada did it.

    27. FFFight Companion Additional Guest (unidentified, likely a comedian friend)23:53

        What about, what about Homanick or, or Sam Stout? One of them?

    28. JRJoe Rogan23:57

        Sam- Sam Stout.

    29. BSBrendan Schaub23:58

        Sam Stout. That's right. He did it too.

    30. JRJoe Rogan23:59

        Good call.
11. 30:06 – 42:54

    GSP kick mechanics, Gracie sidekicks, and upkicks in combat jiu-jitsu

    1. EBEddie Bravo30:06

       Dude, GSP went off on you on the, the podcast he just did on your turning sidekick. Holy shit, talk about endorsing this, man.

    2. JRJoe Rogan30:13

       He was critiquing it? Oh, he said it was good.

    3. EBEddie Bravo30:15

       That was GSP for a half an hour is going on about his power.

    4. JRJoe Rogan30:18

       Yeah.

    5. EBEddie Bravo30:18

       It was incredible. No shit, George.

    6. JRJoe Rogan30:20

       Holy shit, that's GSP going off on Joe Rogan. Yeah, we trained a little afterwards. I s- I switched my mats out.

    7. EBEddie Bravo30:27

       (laughs)

    8. JRJoe Rogan30:27

       I had those, uh, zebra mats that are super smooth. No bueno.

    9. EBEddie Bravo30:31

       Too slick?

    10. JRJoe Rogan30:31

        Too smooth, too slick.

    11. EBEddie Bravo30:31

        Dude, you should do, you should do, uh, a DVD on, on throwing kicks.

    12. JRJoe Rogan30:36

        Now they're textured. DVD, was it? 1997?

    13. EBEddie Bravo30:38

        Dude.

    14. JRJoe Rogan30:38

        Some sort of a video.

    15. EBEddie Bravo30:39

        People still, you know, people still-

    16. JRJoe Rogan30:40

        Nah.

    17. EBEddie Bravo30:41

        John Danaher just put out a DVD.

    18. JRJoe Rogan30:43

        Well, he put out a video series.

    19. EBEddie Bravo30:44

        Yeah, yeah, I bet he did.

    20. JRJoe Rogan30:45

        But I think it's on demand, right?

    21. EBEddie Bravo30:46

        Yeah. I bet he did. (laughs)

    22. JRJoe Rogan30:48

        I bet he did. (laughs) John Danaher just living in the 90s.

    23. EBEddie Bravo30:49

        What do you mean?

    24. JRJoe Rogan30:50

        You think he got a flip phone?

    25. EBEddie Bravo30:50

        He's still wearing Wranglers and fucking Under Armor tops. Of course he put out a DVD. (laughs)

    26. JRJoe Rogan30:55

        Hey, hey. Hey, bro. He's got a strong fanny pack game. He's got a strong fanny pack game.

    27. EBEddie Bravo31:00

        (laughs) These are all great points. (laughs)

    28. JRJoe Rogan31:05

        (laughs) Yeah, I would, uh, I would do that. George and I, we, we, we went over the front leg sidekick first, which is, like, the most important part of the turning sidekick. Once you get the front leg sidekick down, you understand how that works, then you turn and then it's basically you're turning and then throwing a front leg sidekick. It's just got, like, an extra push to it. But most people do the front leg sidekick wrong. Their knee is too low.

    29. EBEddie Bravo31:27

        Yeah.

    30. JRJoe Rogan31:27

        When your knee is too low, you lose all the power.
12. 42:54 – 51:17

    ESPN+ vs. Fight Pass: what changes, what stays, and TUF’s decline

    1. BSBrendan Schaub42:54

       ... do- does it, does the UFC being acquired by ESPN affect the Fight Pass and-

    2. EBEddie Bravo42:59

       Not at all.

    3. JRJoe Rogan43:00

       Oh-

    4. BSBrendan Schaub43:00

       ... EBI at all?

    5. EBEddie Bravo43:00

       Not at all.

    6. JRJoe Rogan43:00

       You gotta smash that big elbow.

    7. BSBrendan Schaub43:01

       'Cause are they gonna continue with the Fight Pass?

    8. EBEddie Bravo43:03

       Oh, hell yeah. Hell yeah.

    9. BSBrendan Schaub43:04

       Are you sure?

    10. EBEddie Bravo43:05

        Absol- as a matter of fact, the, the, the president of Fight Pass, when that deal went through, emailed me personally to let me know. He goes, "Listen, this i- this deal has nothing to do-"

    11. JRJoe Rogan43:14

        Look at this.

    12. EBEddie Bravo43:14

        "... with Fight Pass."

    13. JRJoe Rogan43:15

        Look at this. Look at this.

    14. BSBrendan Schaub43:16

        Game over, son.

    15. JRJoe Rogan43:17

        Oh, body triangle.

    16. BSBrendan Schaub43:18

        It's on the chin.

    17. JRJoe Rogan43:19

        Deep, deep, deep, deep, deep h- can you hang in there for 40 seconds? I don't think so, son.

    18. BSBrendan Schaub43:23

        No, he's in trouble.

    19. EBEddie Bravo43:25

        He's got to, he's got to cinch it up.

    20. JRJoe Rogan43:26

        He's tapping. He's tapping.

    21. EBEddie Bravo43:27

        He's about to tap. No, it's on the chin. He, he still-

    22. BSBrendan Schaub43:30

        Oh.

    23. EBEddie Bravo43:30

        Oh, he's out.

    24. BSBrendan Schaub43:31

        Almost broke his jaw.

    25. JRJoe Rogan43:32

        Damn.

    26. BSBrendan Schaub43:33

        Yeah.

    27. JRJoe Rogan43:33

        Um.

    28. EBEddie Bravo43:34

        That's some pretty-

    29. BSBrendan Schaub43:34

        So they said you're good-

    30. JRJoe Rogan43:35

        ... strong-
13. 51:17 – 1:25:20

    Jason Knight vs. Makwan Amirkhani: trash talk, guard threats, and judging debates

    1. JRJoe Rogan51:17

       Oh, Jason Knight, Marquand Armakani is next. Oh, shit. (hand tapping)

    2. BSBrendan Schaub51:21

       Boy, Jason Knight found some tough times. He started off super hot, then lo- lost his last two.

    3. JRJoe Rogan51:25

       Well, who did he fight? He, he stepped way too far up.

    4. BSBrendan Schaub51:27

       He got Lamas.

    5. JRJoe Rogan51:28

       Lamas.

    6. BSBrendan Schaub51:28

       Let's relax, for fuck's sakes.

    7. JRJoe Rogan51:30

       That was ... Relax.

    8. BSBrendan Schaub51:30

       Lamas?

    9. JRJoe Rogan51:30

       That was a crazy idea. That was crazy. Lamas is world title contender, one of the-

    10. BSBrendan Schaub51:37

        He's the guy no one wants to fight.

    11. JRJoe Rogan51:37

        ... best in the division.

    12. BSBrendan Schaub51:38

        Yeah.

    13. JRJoe Rogan51:38

        Super fucking dangerous.

    14. BSBrendan Schaub51:38

        He's not a huge name, he's just a fucking monster.

    15. JRJoe Rogan51:41

        All across the board. Yeah.

    16. BSBrendan Schaub51:44

        They're like, "Okay, you beat-"

    17. JRJoe Rogan51:46

        Yeah, Lamas.

    18. BSBrendan Schaub51:46

        "You beat Sean Skelley and you lost to Benitez too." Here's Ricardo Lamas.

    19. JRJoe Rogan51:50

        He lost to Mowgli.

    20. BSBrendan Schaub51:51

        Yeah, man. It, it's tough.

    21. JRJoe Rogan51:53

        Yeah.

    22. BSBrendan Schaub51:53

        He got knocked out by Lamas.

    23. JRJoe Rogan51:54

        He got knocked out by Lamas and then he comes back and he lost to Mowgli. (coughs) This is a tough fight.

    24. BSBrendan Schaub51:59

        Performance of the night, performance of the night.

    25. JRJoe Rogan52:00

        This is a tough fight, man. Armak- Marquand Armakani might be the toughest fight outta all three of those.

    26. BSBrendan Schaub52:06

        More than, uh, Ricardo Lamas?

    27. JRJoe Rogan52:07

        Dude, he's dangerous as fuck.

    28. BSBrendan Schaub52:08

        Ricardo Lamas is ... God.

    29. JRJoe Rogan52:10

        Yeah, you're right. You're right. But this Marquand Armakani is a wild motherfucker. He does a lot of crazy shit.

    30. BSBrendan Schaub52:15

        Lamas just chills in the top six.
