Fight Companion kickoff: day drinking, YouTube livestream hiccups, and Abu Dhabi setting
1. BSBrendan Schaub
  (singing)
2. JRJoe Rogan
  We're live?
3. BSBrendan Schaub
  It should be.
4. JRJoe Rogan
  Is it actually happening?
5. BSBrendan Schaub
  It should be.
6. JRJoe Rogan
  All right, ladies and gentlemen, Fight Companion has started. Brian Cowan's in route. Brendan Schaub's in the house. Eddie motherfucking Bravo with the new haircut.
7. JVJamie Vernon
  Yep.
8. JRJoe Rogan
  I like it, dude.
9. JVJamie Vernon
  Thank you.
10. JRJoe Rogan
  You're going straight of Tong Po. You should grow a ponytail on the back of that motherfucker.
11. BSBrendan Schaub
  (laughs)
12. JVJamie Vernon
  (laughs) Maybe, maybe.
13. JRJoe Rogan
  All right, if you've never listened to this before, this is a, a podcast where we watch the fights and we talk shit. We're day drinking. It's 11:15 A.M., Eddie Bravo hasn't cracked open one yet. Here he goes.
14. BSBrendan Schaub
  I'm scared, I'm scared.
15. JVJamie Vernon
  Oh, here we go. Come on, Eddie.
16. BSBrendan Schaub
  I'm scared.
17. JRJoe Rogan
  Especially post-Epstein, there's a lot of conspiracy theories-
18. BSBrendan Schaub
  Yes.
19. JRJoe Rogan
  ... just bubbling in the surface of Eddie.
20. BSBrendan Schaub
  Hey, he hung himself, what's the big deal? (laughs)
0:41 – 3:51
Taisumov vs Ferreira: early momentum, ‘home field’ pressure, and heat concerns
1. JRJoe Rogan
  That's what I've been telling everybody. Mairbek Taisumov's a fucking beast, and he is about to fight Diego Ferreira. And that is an excellent fight.
2. BSBrendan Schaub
  Great fight.
3. JRJoe Rogan
  So, uh, if you've never heard these before, we just, we talk shit while the fights are going on. We kinda commentate on the fights, but not really, let's be honest.
4. BSBrendan Schaub
  Depends.
5. JRJoe Rogan
  Most of it's not. This is a very good fight. Um, Mairbek Taisumov is a fucking killer.
6. BSBrendan Schaub
  I'm all scared.
7. JRJoe Rogan
  Diego Ferreira is a very good fighter too, so this is, uh, this is a good fight. And they're in Abu Dhabi so, you know, when you think about a guy like Taisumov who's Muslim, you gotta think, uh, there, there's a lot of, a lot of pride him fighting there, but maybe a little bit of extra pressure.
8. BSBrendan Schaub
  Home field advantage, right?
9. JRJoe Rogan
  So I don't know about home field advantage, man, 'cause sometimes guys don't fight well when they're fighting in front of everyone that they love and care for.
10. BSBrendan Schaub
  Too much pressure and there's a lot more, uh, to worry about. Did you hear... I, I forget which journalist is cage side, but I guess the, around the cage and the mat, it's hot as fuck.
11. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh, it's hot dude.
12. BSBrendan Schaub
  No, but they're saying it's like unheard of hot around there. So as the rounds get going, yeah, I think, I think it could affect some of the fights. Most, most people in most teams do play better with home field advantage.
13. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah?
14. BSBrendan Schaub
  It's kind of like... Yeah, it's like you have no choice. You, you, you can't, you can't, uh, uh, crumble under the pressure. It's like there's too many of your loved ones watching, you have no choice. It's like-
15. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah, but some people just fold, man.
16. BSBrendan Schaub
  (laughs)
17. JRJoe Rogan
  Taisumov's looking good though. Just landed a good left, uh, leg kick and a good one-two. He's, he's a solid fighter, man, but he's one of those guys that's had a hard time... I think he's had a hard time getting into the US. (clears throat) I think that's, I think he was denied visas or something like that.
18. BSBrendan Schaub
  I would imagine a lot of these guys on this card did. Like Khabib's dad can't get in, but he's in his corner for this fight.
19. JRJoe Rogan
  Isn't that crazy?
20. BSBrendan Schaub
  Yeah.
21. JRJoe Rogan
  What do they think he's gonna do? But the problem is, he's got a tie to that guy from Chechnya.
22. BSBrendan Schaub
  Tuff.
23. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. Oh, Diego Ferreira just cracked him.
24. BSBrendan Schaub
  Taisumov has the same barber-
25. JRJoe Rogan
  Diego Ferreira's-
26. BSBrendan Schaub
  ... as Brian Callan.
27. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
28. BSBrendan Schaub
  (laughs)
29. JRJoe Rogan
  Can we get the fights on this TV too, so I-
30. BSBrendan Schaub
  Ferreira's good, man.
3:51 – 4:37
Round-by-round swings: Ferreira’s pressure, Taisumov fading, and ‘heat index 123’
1. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh, oh, oh, he's hurt. He's hurt.
2. BSBrendan Schaub
  It's over.
3. JRJoe Rogan
  Ferreira's hurt.
4. BSBrendan Schaub
  Ooh, really hurt.
5. JRJoe Rogan
  He's really hurt. He's a smart dude though. He's, he's, he's gonna, he's gonna stay away. Look, he's popping out just to make sure that, uh, he knows it's okay. That like, uh, that he's, uh, still, still a dangerous fighter but he's in, he's in real bad, bad shape right now.
6. BSBrendan Schaub
  What is this, 45 or 55?
7. JRJoe Rogan
  55 I believe. I might be wrong. Jamie will find out for us. I think Taisumov's 55.
8. BSBrendan Schaub
  55 for sure.
9. JVJamie Vernon
  He's a lightweight.
10. BSBrendan Schaub
  Yeah, yeah, 55.
11. JRJoe Rogan
  Diego though, has Diego fought at 45 before? Maybe I'm wrong. It's hard to tell, man. There's so many fighters in the UFC now, it's just, it's so difficult to keep tracks on all of them.
4:37 – 18:33
UFC matchmaking talk: Diaz vs Masvidal ‘BMF’ belt and the MSG card build
1. BSBrendan Schaub
  Oh dude, how about Nate Mazvidal?
2. JRJoe Rogan
  Whoo!
3. BSBrendan Schaub
  Secure the bag, it's happening.
4. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
5. BSBrendan Schaub
  Was it November 2nd, Madison Square Garden?
6. JRJoe Rogan
  Yes, November 2nd. And they're still working on Colby and Usman but-
7. BSBrendan Schaub
  They're not though, 'cause-
8. JRJoe Rogan
  ... they don't wanna pay. Well, they are, trust me.
9. BSBrendan Schaub
  Well yeah, you would know.
10. JRJoe Rogan
  But they, they don't want to pay Colby what Colby wants. Oh, we cracked him again.
11. BSBrendan Schaub
  But did, but, uh, Dana said that that will be the main event, they don't wanna put a title fight above that. So then-
12. JRJoe Rogan
  So...
13. BSBrendan Schaub
  So then there's no way you'd make Colby-
14. JRJoe Rogan
  So Mazvidal Nate Diaz is the main event?
15. BSBrendan Schaub
  Uh, is that... I'm almost positive, Jim, that's what... It's five rounds, the main event.
16. JRJoe Rogan
  How about... Wow.
17. BSBrendan Schaub
  And, and Dana said he doesn't want to put a title fight above that.
18. JRJoe Rogan
  Well, if that's the case-
19. JVJamie Vernon
  We're live, I figured it out.
20. JRJoe Rogan
  They're gonna... We are live?
21. JVJamie Vernon
  There's this, they changed the fucking way it works now.
22. BSBrendan Schaub
  (laughs) Okay, so is it joerogan.live?
23. JVJamie Vernon
  Let me make sure.
24. BSBrendan Schaub
  Okay. And Dana's making a belt for, just for that, like the People's Champ belt.
25. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh, no he's not.
26. BSBrendan Schaub
  Like the street belt.
27. JRJoe Rogan
  Well, well Da- Well, Nate says it's the baddest motherfucker in the game belt.
28. BSBrendan Schaub
  Yeah, that's what, that's what he's making, that belt.
29. JRJoe Rogan
  You can't say that. Are you gonna say that on TV?
30. BSBrendan Schaub
  I don't know.
18:33 – 23:47
Decision anxiety and judging/production influence: replay bias and judge competence
1. JRJoe Rogan
  Doug Crosby. Like, for real, who is, um ... Oh, look at that, that's the end of the fight.
2. BSBrendan Schaub
  Wow.
3. JRJoe Rogan
  That's the end of the fight.
4. BSBrendan Schaub
  There's no way you get a win.
5. EBEddie Bravo
  Oh, damn.
6. BSBrendan Schaub
  There's no way.
7. JRJoe Rogan
  Diego won that fight.
8. EBEddie Bravo
  This is, this is a ... another country. You don't know what the fuck's gonna happen here.
9. BSBrendan Schaub
  No, absolutely not.
10. JRJoe Rogan
  American retired.
11. EBEddie Bravo
  You don't know, you don't know.
12. JRJoe Rogan
  Listen, they can't ... Th- there would be an embarrassment for them if they gave that to Tyson Mo-
13. EBEddie Bravo
  They don't give a fuck.
14. JRJoe Rogan
  Tyson MoF's face got beat up. See, this is early in the fight, Tyson MoF cracked him.
15. BSBrendan Schaub
  (laughs) Headbutt? Why are they showing just his highlights?
16. EBEddie Bravo
  Hey, that could sway judges.
17. BSBrendan Schaub
  Why are they showing just-
18. EBEddie Bravo
  Let me tell you.
19. JRJoe Rogan
  This is ... This is the end of the fight, this is the end of the fight. This is the first round, you see-
20. BSBrendan Schaub
  Dude.
21. JRJoe Rogan
  ... Tyson MoF coming on strong, then-
22. BSBrendan Schaub
  Dude, they're just showing ... Okay, they showed that, that was nice.
23. JRJoe Rogan
  No, but then as the fight wears on, then you see Diego come on strong. Listen, I work in a fucking production, I know how this works, dude.
24. BSBrendan Schaub
  They show the first round and then second, third.
25. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. The first round was all Tyson MoF, but then the second and third f- see? Now they're showing Ferreira putting it on.
26. BSBrendan Schaub
  Might be a draw.
27. EBEddie Bravo
  (laughs)
28. BSBrendan Schaub
  They'll think him 10-8 that first round.
29. JRJoe Rogan
  Dude, look at this. Crack. It's ... Ferreira's a beast, man. Look at the numbers though.
30. BSBrendan Schaub
  Oh, come on, son.
23:47 – 27:09
From fight talk to comedy touring: Joe’s MSG standup plans and a UFC preview idea
1. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. I'm, uh ... We, we should all go to New York. I'm not doing, uh, a show in New York because I'm gonna do Madison Square Garden afterwards. I'm gonna do, uh-
2. BSBrendan Schaub
  How far afterwards?
3. EBEddie Bravo
  What show is that?
4. JRJoe Rogan
  Um, I'm gonna do Madison Square Garden in 2020, so, uh-
5. EBEddie Bravo
  Wait a minute. With Chappelle?
6. JRJoe Rogan
  No, by myself.
7. EBEddie Bravo
  You're doing Madison Square Garden standup by yourself?
8. BSBrendan Schaub
  Standup comedy.
9. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
10. BSBrendan Schaub
  You've done it before though, Joe.
11. JRJoe Rogan
  No, I did th-
12. BSBrendan Schaub
  But not the big one, right?
13. JRJoe Rogan
  I did the little arena before.
14. BSBrendan Schaub
  Yeah.
15. EBEddie Bravo
  Wait a minute. By yourself?
16. JRJoe Rogan
  Dude, I'm doing some big-ass places.
17. EBEddie Bravo
  Damn.
18. JRJoe Rogan
  I'm doing some big-ass places, so-
19. EBEddie Bravo
  Damn.
20. JRJoe Rogan
  ... yeah, it's fun.
21. BSBrendan Schaub
  So what were you gonna say, Joe? The- that's November 2nd, so you're not gonna do one before then.
22. JRJoe Rogan
  ... um, yeah, I'm not doing a show on November 2nd. You know, we should, we should do a podcast in New York. How about we all fly down to New York? I'll get you guys seats ringside, and the night before we just do a talk and shit podcast-
23. BSBrendan Schaub
  A pre-
24. JRJoe Rogan
  ... for the fight card.
25. BSBrendan Schaub
  ... a pre-game, like there's-
26. EBEddie Bravo
  Wait a minute. There's gonna be a UFC end?
27. BSBrendan Schaub
  Yeah.
28. EBEddie Bravo
  You're gonna do Madison Square Garden?
29. JRJoe Rogan
  No, no, no. I'm doing Madison Square Garden a couple months later.
30. EBEddie Bravo
  Okay.
27:09 – 36:31
Ronda, WWE money, and ‘fake fighting’ fandom (plus WWE Studios rabbit hole)
1. EBEddie Bravo
  You think Ronda will ever come back?
2. JRJoe Rogan
  Nope.
3. EBEddie Bravo
  Never?
4. JRJoe Rogan
  No, I don't think she wants to. I think Ronda's a strong woman, you know? She decides she's done, she's done. She's gonna move on. I don't think she wanted to, you know, to keep doing it. I don't ... I just think, you know-
5. EBEddie Bravo
  You know, I think, I think-
6. JRJoe Rogan
  ... making money off of wrestling is better.
7. EBEddie Bravo
  ... I think when, when she came back and fought Amanda and then Amanda knocked her out, um, that must have, like, really fucked her up me- mentally. But, like, now looking back, like, Amanda's the ... she fucked up Cyborg. Like-
8. BSBrendan Schaub
  Yeah.
9. EBEddie Bravo
  ... she would've fucked up anybody, so I'm thinking that Ronda feels a little bit better about that Amanda fight, right?
10. JRJoe Rogan
  Maybe, yeah, well she got knocked out by Holly before that, though.
11. EBEddie Bravo
  Yeah, but-
12. JRJoe Rogan
  And then got starched by Amanda.
13. EBEddie Bravo
  Yeah, but still.
14. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah, yeah, but then Amanda just knocked out Holly with a fucking head kick.
15. EBEddie Bravo
  But still, even today-
16. BSBrendan Schaub
  For sure.
17. EBEddie Bravo
  Even today-
18. BSBrendan Schaub
  But they weren't competitive. That's the problem.
19. EBEddie Bravo
  Even today, still, even today, if the fight's on the ground, you gotta give it to Ronda. Ronda's still better than-
20. JRJoe Rogan
  I don't, I don't-
21. EBEddie Bravo
  She's still better than-
22. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah, I don't know about that with Amanda.
23. EBEddie Bravo
  I mean-
24. BSBrendan Schaub
  And she's a black belt.
25. EBEddie Bravo
  Amanda's a legit black belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.
26. BSBrendan Schaub
  Legit black belt.
27. EBEddie Bravo
  Yeah, and, and-
28. BSBrendan Schaub
  Legit.
29. EBEddie Bravo
  Yeah, but-
30. BSBrendan Schaub
  Amanda's the GOAT by far.
36:31 – 41:51

1. JRJoe Rogan
  So here we go. Kurtis Blades and what his homeboy's name? Say that name.Brendan.

8. EBEddie Bravo
  Ooh.
9. JRJoe Rogan
  That's a big fella. It's Curtis Blaydes with a big shot, the deep shot.
10. EBEddie Bravo
  And whose mugshot is that over there?
11. JRJoe Rogan
  Richard Pryor.
12. EBEddie Bravo
  Oh, shit.
13. JRJoe Rogan
  The GOAT. Look at this.
14. EBEddie Bravo
  (sighs)
15. JRJoe Rogan
  Crazy. Curtis Blaydes already on his back.
16. EBEddie Bravo
  That boy is hairy.
17. JRJoe Rogan
  So you got a good picture of Christie Brinkley's ass? There must be one out there.
18. EBEddie Bravo
  There's-
19. BSBrendan Schaub
  I don't think so, dude.
20. BCBryan Callen
  Neither of them, uh, turn around in their ass shots. (laughs)
21. JRJoe Rogan
  No.
22. EBEddie Bravo
  No.
23. JRJoe Rogan
  Neither of them turn around... (laughs)
24. EBEddie Bravo
  It's impossible. It's impossible.
25. BSBrendan Schaub
  (laughs)
26. EBEddie Bravo
  Unless you're doing, unless she's doing squats-
27. JRJoe Rogan
  Woo!
28. EBEddie Bravo
  ... every other day at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado, it ain't happening.
29. BSBrendan Schaub
  (sighs)
30. EBEddie Bravo
  I'm, I'm telling you, man.
41:51 – 48:23
Grappling tangent: ‘Russian Bear’ Rustam, Combat Jiu-Jitsu, and 10th Planet ecosystem
1. JRJoe Rogan
  Boom. You know who's got the, the craziest? Is... What's that guy's name? Rustam Chiev? What's that, that guy's name? The wrestler, the grappler dude? He's star-
2. EBEddie Bravo
  Yep.
3. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
4. EBEddie Bravo
  Rustam Chimaev.
5. JRJoe Rogan
  Chimaev.
6. EBEddie Bravo
  Yeah.
7. JRJoe Rogan
  That guy is the hairiest man on the face of the planet. He looks like a bear.
8. EBEddie Bravo
  And he's one of the, he's one of the beastliest grapplers on the planet.
9. JRJoe Rogan
  He's a killer.
10. BSBrendan Schaub
  Really?
11. EBEddie Bravo
  Rustam?
12. BSBrendan Schaub
  He's a killer.
13. EBEddie Bravo
  Rustam picks people up and throws them across the fucking room.
14. BSBrendan Schaub
  Killer.
15. EBEddie Bravo
  All the time.
16. JRJoe Rogan
  He's like a giant Khabib.
17. EBEddie Bravo
  He's exactly-
18. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh, fuck.
19. EBEddie Bravo
  ... like a giant Khabib. Exactly.
20. JRJoe Rogan
  But covered in hair.
21. EBEddie Bravo
  And-
22. JRJoe Rogan
  Is he doing MMA?
23. BCBryan Callen
  (clears throat)
24. EBEddie Bravo
  Yes. He does MMA, but he does-
25. JRJoe Rogan
  (coughs)
26. EBEddie Bravo
  I don't know exactly what he's doing now. He- he's fought in EBI. He got to the finals, and uh-
27. JRJoe Rogan
  And what happened?
28. EBEddie Bravo
  ... and lost to Gordon Ryan in overtime.
29. JRJoe Rogan
  God, Gordon Ryan's a badass.
30. EBEddie Bravo
  So he got to the finals with Gordon, lost in overtime. Rustam is no joke.
48:23 – 50:31
Eddie Bravo’s back surgery: disc replacement, rolling limits, and recovery strategies
1. EBEddie Bravo
  It... You know, um, before my back surgery, the pain came from inflammation. So my b- I had no disc in my bones were rubbing together. My, my L5, S1, or whatever the fuck they call it.
2. BSBrendan Schaub
  Yeah.
3. EBEddie Bravo
  So what ends up happening, there's a problem there in my back, so my, my body, uh, it, it inflames, the whole lower back, just so it's, like, sore. So, I was living life with just a stiff, frozen back all the time.... finally got an MRI after years and years, finally got the back surgery. So now, there's a titanium disc in between the two vertebrae. But my body is still, you know, 'cause I'm rolling now and I don't think I'm supposed to, but, uh, I gotta fucking lose weight, and I don't know any other way-
4. JRJoe Rogan
  You don't think you're supposed to roll?
5. EBEddie Bravo
  My doc- my doctor told me, he doesn't know anything about jujitsu. And he said, he goes, "You..." (sighs) Okay. "What are you doing exactly in this jujitsu thing?"
6. BSBrendan Schaub
  (laughs)
7. EBEddie Bravo
  I go, uh, he goes, "Are people picking you up and slamming you?"
8. BSBrendan Schaub
  Jesus Christ.
9. EBEddie Bravo
  And I said, "No, no, no, no. No, not, they're not picking me up and," 'cause I'm always pulling guard, you know. So I didn't wanna explain that to him 'cause he didn't know what pulling guard ... I go, "No, no, no. No one's picking me up and slamming me." And he goes, "Okay, that's good. But you're not, like, twisting or anything, are you?" And I said, "Twisting?" (clears throat)
10. BSBrendan Schaub
  Well, my nickname's The Twister.
11. EBEddie Bravo
  Mm-mm. Mm-mm.
12. BSBrendan Schaub
  (laughs)
13. JRJoe Rogan
  No, we're not twisting.
14. BSBrendan Schaub
  My nickname-
15. EBEddie Bravo
  So he goes, "As long as you don't twist, you don't wanna do anything. You don't wanna go to the gym and twist your back at all. No twisting at all." Y- you can't, you can't-
16. BSBrendan Schaub
  Ever?
17. EBEddie Bravo
  "No running, no twisting, and no squatting."
18. JRJoe Rogan
  No ru- no running?
19. EBEddie Bravo
  No squa- no running.
20. JRJoe Rogan
  No squatting?
21. EBEddie Bravo
  No squatting.
22. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh, that's bad, dude.
23. EBEddie Bravo
  No deadlifts. They go, "You, we don't want any compression going on in your spine at all, and no twisting." And, um-
24. BSBrendan Schaub
  Jesus.
25. EBEddie Bravo
  So what's happening is I'm rolling and my back feels the same like before surgery. Like, it still-
26. BSBrendan Schaub
  Hurts.
27. EBEddie Bravo
  ... it's still inflamed, it's still inflamed. So it's, my body's going, "Something's wrong with your back." It-
28. JRJoe Rogan
  What, what do you think would happen if you got, like, Regenakine down there or anything?
29. EBEddie Bravo
  (sighs) I did that, dude.
30. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah, before-
50:31 – 1:23:03
Islam Makhachev vs Davi Ramos: technique chess, betting, and BJJ meta talk (dead orchard/rubber guard)
1. JRJoe Rogan
  Ooh! This is the fight. Islam Makhachev, Davi Ramos.
2. EBEddie Bravo
  Yeah. Are you kidding me?
3. JRJoe Rogan
  This is the-
4. EBEddie Bravo
  Davi fucking Ramos is the shit.
5. JRJoe Rogan
  This is the fight I'm looking forward to almost as much as the main event.
6. EBEddie Bravo
  Yeah. Davi Ramos is-
7. JRJoe Rogan
  He is the shit.
8. EBEddie Bravo
  Yeah.
9. JRJoe Rogan
  But so is Islam. Islam is a beast, man. That guy is so good. DC said he's the heir apparent. And he said, "If you see him go with Khabib," he said, "That motherfucker is the future champion."
10. BSBrendan Schaub
  I've, I've heard he's an absolute monster in the gym.
11. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. He's so complete. Everywhere, striking, ground game.
12. EBEddie Bravo
  I don't really know that much about Davi Ramos' standup, uh, s- uh, skills, but if the fight gets on the ground, I'm g- I'm, I'm gonna go ahead, uh, I'ma go out on a limb and say it's gonna be over quick.
13. BSBrendan Schaub
  You think? I don't know.
14. JRJoe Rogan
  Fuck off.
15. BSBrendan Schaub
