Joe Rogan Experience - Fight Companion - September 7, 2019

1. 0:00 – 15:00

   (singing) …

   1. BSBrendan Schaub0:00

      (singing)

   2. JRJoe Rogan0:00

      We're live?

   3. BSBrendan Schaub0:05

      It should be.

   4. JRJoe Rogan0:06

      Is it actually happening?

   5. BSBrendan Schaub0:07

      It should be.

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:08

      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 Vernon0:15

      Yep.

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:15

      I like it, dude.

   9. JVJamie Vernon0:16

      Thank you.

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:16

       You're going straight of Tong Po. You should grow a ponytail on the back of that motherfucker.

   11. BSBrendan Schaub0:20

       (laughs)

   12. JVJamie Vernon0:20

       (laughs) Maybe, maybe.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:22

       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 Schaub0:33

       I'm scared, I'm scared.

   15. JVJamie Vernon0:33

       Oh, here we go. Come on, Eddie.

   16. BSBrendan Schaub0:35

       I'm scared.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:36

       Especially post-Epstein, there's a lot of conspiracy theories-

   18. BSBrendan Schaub0:38

       Yes.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:38

       ... just bubbling in the surface of Eddie.

   20. BSBrendan Schaub0:40

       Hey, he hung himself, what's the big deal? (laughs)

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:41

       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.

   22. BSBrendan Schaub0:50

       Great fight.

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:50

       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.

   24. BSBrendan Schaub1:00

       Depends.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:01

       Most of it's not. This is a very good fight. Um, Mairbek Taisumov is a fucking killer.

   26. BSBrendan Schaub1:06

       I'm all scared.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:06

       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.

   28. BSBrendan Schaub1:22

       Home field advantage, right?

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:23

       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.

   30. BSBrendan Schaub1:30

       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.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Where do, where do…

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      Like, Robin Black's done breakdowns of his stuff and Robin has done some commentary for Lethwei. Wild shit to watch, man.

   2. BSBrendan Schaub15:06

      Where do, where do they do them at?

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:08

      Uh, not here. I think he's... I don't know where he lives.

   4. EBEddie Bravo15:11

      You watch that bare-knuckle boxing that's on-

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:13

      Yes.

   6. EBEddie Bravo15:14

      You watched, you into that?

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:14

      Just changed my opinion on whether or not MMA should be bare knuckle.

   8. BSBrendan Schaub15:17

      There you go, fellas.

   9. EBEddie Bravo15:18

      Oh, really?

   10. BSBrendan Schaub15:18

       I knew you'd come around.

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:19

       Cuts.

   12. BSBrendan Schaub15:20

       I knew you'd come around.

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:21

       Cuts. The cuts are too much. C- Chris Leban's whole face is like a, a ax murderer.

   14. BSBrendan Schaub15:25

       It's terrible.

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:26

       Like, like he got hit in the head with a hatchet.

   16. BSBrendan Schaub15:27

       Dude, you see it's Big Foot versus Gonzaga?

   17. JRJoe Rogan15:29

       Yeah, I don't like that. I don't like that. Makes me sad.

   18. BSBrendan Schaub15:32

       That's Big Foot on the-

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:33

       Yeah.

   20. BSBrendan Schaub15:33

       ... acai.

   21. EBEddie Bravo15:34

       It's, it seems like, uh-

   22. JRJoe Rogan15:36

       (laughs)

   23. BSBrendan Schaub15:36

       You know what I'm talking about.

   24. EBEddie Bravo15:37

       It seems like that bare knuckle... (laughs) What's, what's the name of the show, the event?

   25. BSBrendan Schaub15:41

       Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.

   26. JRJoe Rogan15:43

       It's Bare Knuckle Fighting, right?

   27. BSBrendan Schaub15:43

       BKFC or something.

   28. EBEddie Bravo15:44

       It just seems like it's blowing up, right?

   29. JRJoe Rogan15:45

       It is blowing up. I mean, people are...

   30. BSBrendan Schaub15:47

       Is it though?
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Or does he? …

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      can he do all that shit-

   2. BSBrendan Schaub30:00

      Or does he?

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:01

      ... with a fucked up back? Oh, he does.

   4. BSBrendan Schaub30:02

      Or does he have a fucked up, you know, he's just over it and is like, "I'm gonna go put this mask on and get paid not to get punched in the face"?

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:08

      Well, I think there's a big difference between a flip that you orchestrate yourself-

   6. BSBrendan Schaub30:10

      Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:10

      ... versus someone fucking picking you up and slamming you on the ground.

   8. BSBrendan Schaub30:13

      In the clinch. Yeah, you're right.

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:14

      And, and training and, you know, wrestling with DC.

   10. EBEddie Bravo30:15

       How, how crazy is it that people are into fake fighting?

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:19

       It's weird.

   12. BSBrendan Schaub30:19

       How fucking crazy is it?

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:20

       They love it, though.

   14. EBEddie Bravo30:21

       They love it.

   15. BSBrendan Schaub30:21

       They love it. They're passionate about it, too.

   16. EBEddie Bravo30:22

       It's crazy.

   17. BSBrendan Schaub30:22

       And if you talk shit about it, they come at you in droves.

   18. JRJoe Rogan30:25

       Trust me.I know.

   19. BCBryan Callen30:27

       Yeah.

   20. BSBrendan Schaub30:27

       Trust me, I know.

   21. JRJoe Rogan30:28

       Trust me. But look, Tony Hinchcliffe, who I love to death, that fucking kid lives for it. He lives for fake fresh-

   22. BCBryan Callen30:33

       Yeah, Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins.

   23. JRJoe Rogan30:35

       Loves it.

   24. BCBryan Callen30:35

       He's all in it.

   25. JRJoe Rogan30:36

       He owns one of the organizations.

   26. BSBrendan Schaub30:37

       Yeah.

   27. BCBryan Callen30:38

       People own this one.

   28. JRJoe Rogan30:38

       Billy loves one.

   29. BSBrendan Schaub30:39

       Yeah.

   30. BCBryan Callen30:40

       They might as well make movies and TV shows while they're at it, right?
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Yeah. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      right?

   2. EBEddie Bravo45:00

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:01

      So he just decided to compete again, but-

   4. EBEddie Bravo45:03

      Yeah, combat jiu-jutsu... Oh, it's over.

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:04

      (clears throat)

   6. EBEddie Bravo45:05

      It's over. It's over.

   7. BSBrendan Schaub45:05

      Look at that.

   8. JRJoe Rogan45:06

      That's it. That's it.

   9. BSBrendan Schaub45:06

      Boy, Curtis is beating the shit out of him. I don't believe it.

   10. EBEddie Bravo45:08

       Did you guys see the last combat jujitsu show?

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:10

       I did not.

   12. BSBrendan Schaub45:10

       I didn't.

   13. EBEddie Bravo45:10

       You didn't see it?

   14. BSBrendan Schaub45:11

       I did not.

   15. EBEddie Bravo45:12

       Oh, dude, you got... Go get on UFC Fight Pass and watch the last one, dude, when... Dude, (laughs) it was insane.

   16. JRJoe Rogan45:19

       It's a great idea, Eddie.

   17. EBEddie Bravo45:20

       It was insane, dude.

   18. JRJoe Rogan45:21

       It's a great step for guys who are thinking about fighting in MMA to go from jujitsu, MMA-

   19. EBEddie Bravo45:26

       Yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan45:27

       ... or jujitsu, combat jujitsu, then MMA.

   21. EBEddie Bravo45:28

       I just... You know, there's a lot of different ways to look at it. You know, uh, it... You could look at is as a... If y- if you're planning on, (clears throat) on, uh, transitioning into MMA and you're a grappler, it's a great sport. Or, if you're done with MMA and it's too brutal but you still want to compete, that's a, that's another way to look at it. I look at it as just the most gangster form of jujitsu. Like, when you just look at jujitsu, forget about MMA, you just look at jujitsu in all the different formats, combat jujitsu is the most gangster, it's the most scary, it's the scariest one. And, like I said, pure jujitsu grapplers don't want to have anything to do with combat jujitsu.

   22. JRJoe Rogan46:07

       Dude-

   23. EBEddie Bravo46:07

       It's all guys from MMA.

   24. JRJoe Rogan46:09

       Out o-

   25. BSBrendan Schaub46:09

       Do they look... Oh, sorry. Go ahead.

   26. JRJoe Rogan46:10

       I was gonna say, out of all the guys in MMA in the heavyweight division, does Curtis Blades have the best ground and pound? 'Cause he might.

   27. BSBrendan Schaub46:16

       By far.

   28. JRJoe Rogan46:16

       Not even close. He might have the best.

   29. BSBrendan Schaub46:17

       Yep, by far. He's smashing with these elbows.

   30. EBEddie Bravo46:19

       Well, well, you know, Cain Velasquez is up in there.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:04:20

   Yeah, like is Bucescu…

   1. EBEddie Bravo1:00:00

      that are competing?

   2. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:00

      Yeah, like is Bucescu or like, Cyborg, are those guys still doing their own thing?

   3. EBEddie Bravo1:00:03

      Bucescu's fucking everybody up. Um-

   4. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:06

      He's such a good guy.

   5. EBEddie Bravo1:00:07

      Uh, Felipe Pena, Gordon Ryan, um-

   6. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:10

      (clears throat) I love Gordon Ry-

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:10

      Is Gordon Ryan back from his knee surgery?

   8. EBEddie Bravo1:00:12

      Yep, yep.

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:12

      I love Gordon Ryan.

   10. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:13

       He's competing already?

   11. EBEddie Bravo1:00:14

       Yep, he just competed, uh, in some new quintet type event. I forget what it was called.

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:20

       That's amazing, man.

   13. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:20

       Wow.

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:00:20

       Dude, his leg was ripped apart just like, four months ago. Isn't that amazing?

   15. EBEddie Bravo1:00:24

       Oh, shit.

   16. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:26

       Oh.

   17. EBEddie Bravo1:00:26

       Damn. There's so many good guys right now, dude. There's so many fucking great grapplers.

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:00:32

       Right, is this, has there ever been a better time for grappling?

   19. EBEddie Bravo1:00:35

       Ugh.

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:00:35

       It's really incredible.

   21. EBEddie Bravo1:00:36

       There's so many good guys, dude. They're all over the place.

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:00:39

       And Craig Jones is not doing MMA, right? He's just fighting, uh, jiu-jitsu tournaments? Is that correct?

   23. EBEddie Bravo1:00:45

       Yes, he's not doing MMA. He's one of the best two, Craig Jones.

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:00:48

       Yeah.

   25. EBEddie Bravo1:00:48

       And of course Gio Martinez-

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:00:49

       Yeah.

   27. EBEddie Bravo1:00:49

       ... right there at the top.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:00:50

       Oh, yeah.

   29. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:50

       Yeah.

   30. EBEddie Bravo1:00:50

       PJ Barch is, uh, one of my guys. Barch, sorry, I always say Bartch.
