Joey Diaz tweet backlash, MMA media clicks, and “where the line is”
- BSBrendan Schaub
... they get me all the time. I'm more famous than them.
- JRJoe Rogan
Aye, aye.
- BSBrendan Schaub
(laughs)
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) I wish we could tell you what we were talking about, but we can't.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Oh, I wish.
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh, yeah, we were talk- talking about Joey getting in trouble, though. He just, uh, just texted me about it.
- BSBrendan Schaub
How's-
- JRJoe Rogan
He's mad at these people.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... how's Joey Diaz getting in trouble with, what, the MMA community?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
MMA outlets? (laughs) They have nothing to do?
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, here's the thing, though. I see where they're coming from. They're, they're journalists. If someone says something that fucking outrageous about what Mackenzie Dern's derriere must, uh-
- BSBrendan Schaub
He said, I s- I think your ass smells great right now, something like that.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes, something along those lines, we're trying to be careful how to, how to respect.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Oh, the, you're talking about the comic, Uncle Joey, said this?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes, the comic, Uncle Joey. But I get it. I get where they would ... And then Vinny Magalhaes backed him up. I get it.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Backed up Joey? (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, he backed up Joey, says something like, "And tasty, too."
- BSBrendan Schaub
(laughs) Yikes.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, yikes. I get it. Um-
- BSBrendan Schaub
I don't get it. That's Joey Diaz, the great comic, who's commenting on a hot girl in the UFC. He is not a writer. He is not a journalist. These writers have nothing to do, so they're like, "How can we get hits? Let's talk about Joey Diaz."
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- BSBrendan Schaub
'Cause no one's reading any of our shit.
- JRJoe Rogan
I agree with you in s- somewhat, but he definitely did do it. Like, it ain't a bad ... Here's my thing. They could say whatever they want about what he said, but if he was your friend and he texted you that-
- BSBrendan Schaub
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... you would do what I did. Look, 'cause I'll show you, he fucking texted me that before he tweeted it. (laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
(laughs) Of course.
- 1:35 – 4:56
Joey’s texting era and the upcoming Joey Diaz + Yoel Romero podcast chaos
- JRJoe Rogan
I love that Joey texts now. Joey never would text message, but now he's a-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Oh, I hope he doesn't keep texting.
- JRJoe Rogan
Joey Diaz is a full-on texter now.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Is he?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, yeah, I'll text you.
- BSBrendan Schaub
He still calls, though. He called me last week.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, fuck yeah. Most of the time he calls, but, um, he texted me this. (laughs) Yeah, right there. See?
- BSBrendan Schaub
It's Joey Diaz, man. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) Sorry, folks. Wish I could let you in. You can go Google what he said. I'm trying to be respectful.
- BSBrendan Schaub
It's, it's Joey Diaz. There, there's ... He can say whatever he wants. He doesn't work for the UFC. He's not a, he's not at Mackenzie Dern's gym.
- JRJoe Rogan
You're right, you're right. I'm glad he does, I'm glad he does think like that.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Hell yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I'm glad he does send me texts like that. But if I was a news website and I was gonna report on, first of all, anybody who's reads-
- BSBrendan Schaub
You want clicks?
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh, yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
You want clicks?
- JRJoe Rogan
For sure, that's what they want. But also, anybody who reads that, are you really ... You're either gonna be like me or you're like-
- BSBrendan Schaub
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... you're gonna start laughing or you're gonna get-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Oh, it's 90-
- JRJoe Rogan
... really upset.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Really upset?
- JRJoe Rogan
And then you're not a Joey Diaz fan anyway. It doesn't matter. It's not gonna-
- BSBrendan Schaub
You know, if, if you read that and 95% of that is dudes reading it and they're like, "That's hilarious."
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, 95%.
- BSBrendan Schaub
The other, the 5% are like, "What the hell? What are we doing?"
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- BSBrendan Schaub
"How could you report this?"
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, I think that's a good number, 95. 95% are sort of going ha ha.
- BSBrendan Schaub
95% of dudes are like, "That's hilarious. I was wondering the same thing."
- 4:56 – 7:36
Great offstage entertainers: Bryan Callen, club dynamics, and the Improv stage layout rant
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, Joey's just, he's a great entertainer. And people don't understand, like part of the reason why he's so funny is he knows what's entertaining for you.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Correct.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, he knows, he knows how to be the life of the party like, like no one. Callan's pretty goddamn good at it too.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Callan's up there. Callan can entertain a room.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Cal- Callan can take over a room and, and-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Some of the best there is.
- JRJoe Rogan
... bring the party.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I think that's his best art form, honestly.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Me too.
- JRJoe Rogan
I've told him that. I think that your best art form is, like, inappropriate comedy around people who are trapped.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Correct.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
(laughs) Okay. Who are stuck at a party or some shit.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, you're at a playing with them or something and you can't go anywhere.
- BSBrendan Schaub
He's the funniest person I've ... He's made me laugh harder offstage than, than anyone.
- JRJoe Rogan
Than almost anybody, yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
It's so ridiculous.
- JRJoe Rogan
He's right there. He's right up there, offstage, with Joey. But onstage, Joey's just, he's on different planet.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Different level.
- JRJoe Rogan
Especially right now, he's on another planet. Although, though Callan's fucking hilarious onstage too, but Joey right now. Jesus Christ.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah, Callan just did his, uh, like his showcase at the Improv.
- JRJoe Rogan
How'd that go?
- BSBrendan Schaub
He did, you know, Callan, like, "Murder. He murdered. It was murder."
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
"Got killed."
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, that's good.
- BSBrendan Schaub
But I've been hearing good things. I mean, we-
- JRJoe Rogan
That's good.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah.
- 7:36 – 12:41
Shaq as a DJ, Russell Peters’ real turntable skills, and what even counts as a ‘DJ’
- BSBrendan Schaub
You know who else DJs is Shaq. You ever seen Shaq like straight up DJing? His giant ass is a DJ.
- JRJoe Rogan
Really?
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah. That's what he does like in his off time.
- BCBryan Callen
He's got platinum records, multiple.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Being a DJ?
- BCBryan Callen
As a rapper.
- BSBrendan Schaub
No, that Diesel CD went platinum.
- BCBryan Callen
He's, yeah, he's got two. I have- I have one of them.
- BSBrendan Schaub
That's embarrassing.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- BCBryan Callen
Jackson Spade Returns. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
That's embarrassing. That's tough.
- BCBryan Callen
I didn't buy it. I got ... It was given to me.
- BSBrendan Schaub
I saw some video of him DJing and it's like thousands of people, like kids just jamming out. Obviously high off their ass on ecstasy, but it looked like a good time.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
That's what he does.
- JRJoe Rogan
Why not, man?
- BSBrendan Schaub
Why not?
- JRJoe Rogan
Russell Peters is legit.
- BSBrendan Schaub
DJ?
- JRJoe Rogan
Legit DJ.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Really?
- JRJoe Rogan
Like legit, friends with all the old school rappers like Big Daddy Kane and shit.
- BSBrendan Schaub
I had no idea.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Dude, Russell is seriously legit. Like when we had him on the podcast a long time ago, he actually ... Look at the size of Shaq towering over that fucking equipment. (laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
The biggest DJ in the world.
- JRJoe Rogan
He's so big.
- BSBrendan Schaub
He's so fucking big.
- JRJoe Rogan
So crazy. Um, but Russell doesn't like those other guys calling themselves DJs, those like Tiesto guys.
- 12:41 – 16:21
Extreme lifting videos and the CrossFit danger debate (high reps, bad form, big risks)
- BCBryan Callen
This guy is lifting. You said blood, spitting blood, this is the guy lifting at the Arnold thing. Blood started going everywhere on him.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Oh, he needs to see a, he needs to see a doctor.
- JRJoe Rogan
So his nose starts spraying blood right in the middle of his lift.
- BCBryan Callen
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Whoa, that's pretty cool.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Bro.
- BCBryan Callen
They did, like, clean up everything. They take a little break there.
- BSBrendan Schaub
You need to see a doctor, sir.
- JRJoe Rogan
Ah, he's fine.
- BCBryan Callen
Yeah, he got the lift up done.
- JRJoe Rogan
Got a little stomach and thing going on.
- BSBrendan Schaub
That's internal bleeding.
- JRJoe Rogan
He's got a little, uh, nah, it's probably a nasal infection.
- BSBrendan Schaub
You think?
- JRJoe Rogan
Eh.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Bursting out like that?
- JRJoe Rogan
Walk it off.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Can't be good.
- JRJoe Rogan
Guy just dead lifted 1,000 pounds. He looks pretty healthy to me.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah, he looked, he's-
- JRJoe Rogan
How many did he dead lift?
- BSBrendan Schaub
... he's gonna live a long time.
- BCBryan Callen
939 it says.
- JRJoe Rogan
Jesus Christ, (laughs) that's so much weight.
- BSBrendan Schaub
It's a lotta weight.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's so much weight. I saw a crazy one where a dude was doing this squat and the, the bar couldn't handle the weight. And the bar bent, and he couldn't get it back onto the, the rack. And so, he had to, like, kinda dive out from under it.
- BSBrendan Schaub
But it snapped.
- JRJoe Rogan
But he was squatting a shitload of weight, obviously.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Jesus Christ.
- JRJoe Rogan
Imagine having that kind of weight on you and you've gotta figure out how to get it off you?
- 16:21 – 21:36
Training alternatives: yoga, fake martial arts jokes, and buying home cardio equipment
- BSBrendan Schaub
I, uh, (clears throat) my schedule's been so crazy man, I haven't been able to go to the gym like I typically do. You know, where I, I, I work with my trainer and I'll do weights-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... I'll do mi- stuff like that. So I've been trying to find some alternatives.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, man. It's fun to mix shit up.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah, I, I've been bored.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know, just doing something different.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah, I've been bored, like I-
- JRJoe Rogan
Take a yoga class, take a-
- BSBrendan Schaub
I've been doing yoga, I've been doing hot yoga, which I love.
- JRJoe Rogan
Some fucking Taekwondo, bro.
- BSBrendan Schaub
That's some Taekwondo.
- JRJoe Rogan
How about that? You wanna go deep?
- BSBrendan Schaub
Hi-yah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Double knife ambilock.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Wanna go deep? (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
After, post UFC career-
- BSBrendan Schaub
(laughs) Wanna go deep?
- JRJoe Rogan
... front kicking motherfuckers.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Wanna go deep? (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) It's a good workout though.
- BSBrendan Schaub
You and I big you'll take the... I'll, I'll hard pass on that, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
I don't want anything to do with martial arts.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) But here's the thing, it's, uh, if you like, do like, uh, some sort of McDojo style Taekwondo, as long as they teach you good technique, you're gonna get a good workout in.
- BSBrendan Schaub
I'm trying to burn some calories. You know-
- JRJoe Rogan
You'll, you'll get a good workout in doing-
- BSBrendan Schaub
I'm sure, I'm sure.
- JRJoe Rogan
... those wheel kicks and shit.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Hard pass for me.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- 21:36 – 26:40
Fasted cardio, too much coffee, keto fallout, and the mental game of consistency
- JRJoe Rogan
Dude, I've become addicted to the fasted cardio.
- BSBrendan Schaub
I used to do that before ... Remember when I started throwing up?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, but I think that's your coffee intake.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah, you're probably right. Yeah, you're right.
- JRJoe Rogan
You talk, your coffee intake's up. What, are you to like 20 cups a day or something?
- BSBrendan Schaub
I was at 12 to 16 cups a day.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
And then fasting till 2:00. The doctor's like, "Let's not do that, you moron."
- JRJoe Rogan
That's so crazy. (laughs) That's so much whatever and so much caffeine.
- BSBrendan Schaub
It's just too much of any- Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's too much of everything.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah, I know.
- JRJoe Rogan
And if you're not having any food-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... then it's just getting straight in there. It's all getting absorbed.
- BSBrendan Schaub
I'm on all these medications now. I had to get off keto.
- JRJoe Rogan
For real?
- BSBrendan Schaub
I'm dying, Joe. I have stage one diabetes.
- JRJoe Rogan
What is the medications they're putting you on?
- BSBrendan Schaub
I don't, it's some anti-acid, like super strong stuff so I can still drink my coffee.
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow.
- BSBrendan Schaub
It's just not a possibility.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's so crazy. You just have to keep coffee-
- BSBrendan Schaub
I have to. Yes, I have to.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
I was like, "You will, you will fuck up my entire workflow if I can't drink coffee."
- JRJoe Rogan
That's so crazy.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah. But fasting cardio is the way to go.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. I love it, man. I get addicted to it. You know what I get addicted to? I get addicted to the feeling of having done it when I didn't want to do it. That's when I realized this running thing is for me. It's this, this little game I'm playing with my brain where I know I'm gonna do it, but I wake up, I'm like, "Ugh." And then Marshall's barking, "Brrr! Brr!" Mar- Mar- I put him in the backyard and he's like, "Come on, bitch!"
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah, he wants to go.
- 26:40 – 31:59
Sauna vs. steam science, arena cold floors, and brutal Brazil/Abu Dhabi heat stories
- JRJoe Rogan
Sauna, yeah. And, and someone who asked me about the steam room versus sauna, I asked Rhonda Patrick, and, uh, there's, there hasn't really been studies done on the sauna, or the steam room rather, that show the benefits of the sauna. They're both hot as shit.
- BSBrendan Schaub
They're both hot as shit.
- JRJoe Rogan
They're both hot as shit, probably has some benefit. The only difference is that the sauna can get way hotter 'cause it's a dry heat. So the sauna can get... You know, my sauna, I've had it up to more than 190.
- BSBrendan Schaub
We sat-
- JRJoe Rogan
I fucked up and had it at 200.
- BSBrendan Schaub
We sat in that sauna in Boston, you're a serial killer in there. 10 more minutes, Joe Rogan was dying.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
I was like, "Uh, I think I'm set, man. I think I'm kinda set. I'm all red like a lobster."
- JRJoe Rogan
You just gotta go... You just gotta just go empty in there.
- BSBrendan Schaub
I know. I hear ya, but I was good, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
I know.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Like, we were in there for, uh, a minute. Jamie dipped out super early.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, I was out 10 minutes before you guys. (laughs) He was there before everybody. (laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
Oh, were you?
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
I didn't know that.
- JRJoe Rogan
He was there before me. Yeah. 'Cause mostly when you left, it went...
- BSBrendan Schaub
Before me.
- JRJoe Rogan
Pussy. Oh, no, I'm just kidding.
- BSBrendan Schaub
No, no, no, Jamie got there first.
- JRJoe Rogan
Little beast. Shout out to Equinox in Boston, great fucking gym.
- BSBrendan Schaub
That was a good night, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, they keep it at 170. That's what most people think it should be, 170. But if you was 170 with steam, man, you're getting cooked in there.
- BSBrendan Schaub
(sighs) .
- JRJoe Rogan
That's not good. I don't think you can take that heat. So, the idea is that the sauna, because it's a dry heat for the most part... I know sometimes people throw some water on the rocks-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... but it's a dry heat for the most part, and that, that is what you want because that's what your body responds to the... Just the actual temperature and produces those heat shock proteins.
- BSBrendan Schaub
It makes sense.
- JRJoe Rogan
Totally makes sense.
- BSBrendan Schaub
You know what's weird is sometimes in the UFC, and you can feel this too, if it's at a hockey arena, like T-Mobile or the... Sometimes the, when you get into the locker room and get in that crowd, it's freezing.
- 31:59 – 35:33
Barefoot running, plantar fasciitis fears, and the disgusting callus-cutting video
- JRJoe Rogan
... feet were sore today. I had to run in regular running shoes 'cause my feet are sore.
- BSBrendan Schaub
From the Vibrams?
- JRJoe Rogan
From, yeah. From the, just the pounding.
- BSBrendan Schaub
The pounding.
- JRJoe Rogan
And I don't... I'm scared of that plantar fasciitis. Have you ever had it?
- BSBrendan Schaub
I don't know if you've got it.
- JRJoe Rogan
No.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Get your mind right. Let's go and get on the... There's a reason there's technology, son. Let's quit running barefoot these days.
- JRJoe Rogan
No, no, no, no. I think it just... The barefoot thing strengthens your feet up.
- BSBrendan Schaub
(sighs)
- JRJoe Rogan
I think it just takes time. I'm just being real careful.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Be super careful.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
It's a nightmare.
- JRJoe Rogan
I'm sure.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Tom Cruise had to deal with it.
- JRJoe Rogan
I know.
- BSBrendan Schaub
I've dealt with it at night where I had to get shots, injections in my foot. Horrible.
- JRJoe Rogan
And with Tom Cruise's it was the same thing. It was coming back too quickly. Like, he, he had a knee injury, right? So after his knee injury-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... then he just tried to get way back into shape way quick and fucked his feet up.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Mine was just b-
- JRJoe Rogan
(clears throat)
- BSBrendan Schaub
I think from being so big and just running. I was doing, you know-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... miles, and miles, and miles, and miles. 'Cause I love running. I l- It's literally my favorite thing to do.
- JRJoe Rogan
Neil Brennan did it on a... He got plantar from a treadmill from wearing those, uh, Vibrams.
- BSBrendan Schaub
If, if you're... They say you gotta work into 'em.
- JRJoe Rogan
Gotta work into 'em.
- BSBrendan Schaub
You just don't just wanna go straight barefoot and just start doing work.
- 35:33 – 49:08
Brian Ortega’s rise, Holloway matchup talk, and what makes Ortega’s guillotine special
- JRJoe Rogan
How about that Brian Ortega? (laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
(laughs) . On another note, how about Brian Ortega, man? I don't... On my show yesterday night, it was awkward 'cause me and Brian are super close. And I don't know what it is because same thing with Stipe. Whenever I know these guys, it's like I know 'em from when, when I trained with 'em and I've seen 'em in that light. Like, with Brian Ortega, I'd corner him before his, uh, one of his fights before he got to the UFC, and I knew him as that Brian Ortega where all jujitsu, you know, cardio for days, but terrified to fight. Like, I know him as, as that Brian, and now he's evolved into the number one featherweight in the world. So when I, when he got the Frankie Edgar fight, I was like, "God, that's..." I just feel like it's a terrible matchup, man. I'm telling Heno, I'm like, "What, what's he gonna do?" And Heno's like, "Don't worry, man. Don't worry." And so, on my show, which Brian and Heno listen to, they're like, "Dude..." They come in, they're like, "How are you gonna pick against me?" I'm like, "No, no. I said, my brain-"... went with Frankie just because it's Frankie Edgar, he's a legend. My heart wanted you, Brian. He's like, "Dude, it hurt my feelings." I'm like, "I don't, I don't... I'm sorry, man." Like I... And I don't know what it is. It was Stipe too.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Whenever I see him, I, I know him as that version of them. It's a problem that I have. I like this gap. I don't know what's going on.
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh, people always do that. They do that. They remember someone by what they were when they were at their worst.
- BSBrendan Schaub
It's not even their worst, but it's in their infancy-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... of their, of their-
- JRJoe Rogan
Well-
- BSBrendan Schaub
... of their careers.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, let's not even say their worst, just say a lesser version of who they are now.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Correct.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right? It's like, do you ever get that feeling when you go back to high school? Like, I... If I'm around someone from high school, I feel like a loser. (laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
I-
- JRJoe Rogan
You know? This is a weird feeling.
- BSBrendan Schaub
No, 100%. When I go back-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... to Denver, I'm, I'm almost not myself because I feel like this almost, yeah, almost like this-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... loser.
- JRJoe Rogan
A loser.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Because, yeah. Because, you remember back who you were when you were insecure and starting out-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Correct.
- JRJoe Rogan
... in life, and just... That's a normal thing, you know. They always say that about comedy clubs. Like, if you start out at a club, that club will never respect you. They respect you when you leave and, you know, maybe you get a TV show or something like that, and then come back, and they're like, "Okay, yeah, I remember when you sucked though."
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, they remember when you sucked.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I always had a... I had a problem with that in Boston at first.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Really?
- 49:08 – 1:02:35
Cyborg dominance, thin 145 roster problems, and the Amanda Nunes super-fight argument
- BSBrendan Schaub
Dude, speaking of people getting fucked up, how about that girl Cyborg fight?
- JRJoe Rogan
(inhales deeply)
- BSBrendan Schaub
She looked scared. When she got hit with the first one-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... her eyes were like, "Oh my God." And God bless her, man, because your first fight in UFC, here you go. This, this is what you always wanted. Here's Cyborg main event, short notice. Enjoy that.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, that's kind of a crazy thing to do, right?
- BSBrendan Schaub
Title shot, your first fight ever in the UFC.
- JRJoe Rogan
Title shot and first fight ever. Nobody knows... Literally nobody in the UFC knows who you are.
- BSBrendan Schaub
UFC didn't even have a picture up of her till the-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... week of the fight.
- JRJoe Rogan
You've never... Uh, I mean, she got submitted by Tonya Evinger.
- BSBrendan Schaub
