Five, four, three, two,…
- JRJoe Rogan
Five, four, three, two, ah! And we're live. Dude, I brought you to the dark side. Now you're playing Quake.
- BSBrendan Schaub
I got my ass whooped.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Well, you were in a fucking melee. There's three other dudes in there blasting. It's a one-on-one map.
- BSBrendan Schaub
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
That map's chaos. It's so fun though. How fun is that shit?
- BSBrendan Schaub
It's fun. It reminds me of GoldenEye. Did you ever get into that?
- JRJoe Rogan
How dare you, first of all.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Nintendo 64. That was a great game, bro.
- JRJoe Rogan
That game c- that game can suck all the dicks. You're using those stupid Xbox things. Listen, you-
- BSBrendan Schaub
You mean a controller. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... mouse and keyboard is where you're at. That's why you're getting fucked up. You don't even know how to move.
- BSBrendan Schaub
(laughs) It was hard for me to move back and forth.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
(laughs) If it was a controller, game on.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) What?
- BSBrendan Schaub
For sure.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Yeah, 'cause nobody can move. Yeah, if nobody can move, then you're all right.
- BSBrendan Schaub
With controllers?
- JRJoe Rogan
Listen, th- dude, that fucking-
- BSBrendan Schaub
It's fun.
- JRJoe Rogan
... that game's chaos. Jamie and I have been going back and forth for fucking four or five days now.
- JVJamie Vernon
You'd be surprised. There are a couple guys that can compete, a few, that can compete with the mouse and keyboard guys with the way that they, uh, control everything.
- JRJoe Rogan
I wouldn't be surprised. I'm sure they can but they have zero life and th- they don't even know what pussy looks like.
- BSBrendan Schaub
(laughs)
- JVJamie Vernon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
They see- (laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
But q- but Quake is, Quake is old school.
- JVJamie Vernon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Quake's old school, right? Yeah. Q- we're on Quake 4, but there's Quake Champions that you play online. We've been playing Quake 4 because we can set it up on what's called a local area network, a LAN, and it's real easy, and there's no latency. It's just direct from computer to computer.
- BSBrendan Schaub
It's fun.
- 15:00 – 30:00
I was stunned. …
- BSBrendan Schaub
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
- JRJoe Rogan
I was stunned.
- BSBrendan Schaub
This is one of the greatest title fight performances I've ever seen.
- JRJoe Rogan
Ever. Ever.
- BSBrendan Schaub
For him to do that to Woodley and dismantle him, you don't understand. You have no idea what you're watching.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
It's fucking insane.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's not just insane that he dismantled him-
- BSBrendan Schaub
(clears throat)
- JRJoe Rogan
... which is f- for sure insane, but also his fucking gas tank. Usman was pushing a- on the pedal for five fucking rounds, never let off the gas.
- BSBrendan Schaub
How about the way he looked in between rounds when-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
And to me, it was his mentality.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yep.
- BSBrendan Schaub
When you look from the f- the first round, as soon as they break it up-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yep.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... he's... And then, "You ready?" and he's standing-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yep.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... there like this. I'm like, "Oh, shit."
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, he was... Do you know that-
- BSBrendan Schaub
(clears throat)
- JRJoe Rogan
... the word was that he had a fractured foot?
- BSBrendan Schaub
Correct.
- JRJoe Rogan
So he took a fucking cortisone shot coming into that fight. Imagine that.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Savage.
- JRJoe Rogan
Imagine that. And still no problems with his endurance. Apparently, didn't train the whole week of, just didn't do shit, still made the weight, no problem.
- BSBrendan Schaub
But think about what he has to do.
- JRJoe Rogan
(sniffs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
His coach is going, "All right, you gotta go in there. You gotta out-grapple-"
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- 30:00 – 45:00
Yeah. …
- JRJoe Rogan
I'm, um... I feel bad that Mark Goddard responded the way he did because it's, it's not very professional, and I think it's very emotional, and I think he's probably just feeling the heat.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, you-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Go hard on him.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, you feel that heat and you get angry. You know? But, uh, I like Mark Goddard. I like him a lot and I think he's a very good referee.
- BSBrendan Schaub
I, I think he's top one to two refs in the business. I love Mark Goddard. He fucked that up.
- JRJoe Rogan
My question is, I wonder who is telling them they should stand things up and when they shouldn't stand things up. I wonder-
- BSBrendan Schaub
It's the pressure he feels.
- JRJoe Rogan
The pressure he feels. From the audience you think?
- BSBrendan Schaub
From the crowd.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm, maybe. It could be that. British people are very nice. You know, sometimes when English people, they're more accommodating.
- BSBrendan Schaub
You gotta know what you're dealing with, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Y- when you got two world-class wrestlers-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... and this guy's impossible to take down, he's one of the best of all time-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yep.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... let it go.
- JRJoe Rogan
Let it go. Well, I think let it go, period. I just, I do not agree with stand-ups 'cause I think if a guy can hold you down, like, that's what I was saying about Ben Askren. If a guy like Ben Askren can hold you down and give you noogies until the fight's over-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Do something about it.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, do something about it. Exactly.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Do something about it.
- JRJoe Rogan
If he's not cheating.
- BSBrendan Schaub
No.
- JRJoe Rogan
If he's not cheating, keep it up. But-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Do you know how hard it is to control Woodley on the ground?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
It's impossible.
- JRJoe Rogan
And you only have five fucking minutes. You have five minutes to sink a choke in, five minutes to hold onto him and beat him up. And, uh, look, c- look, all credit to Usman. He didn't even fucking care. He got stood back up, didn't complain, went right back at him and took him down again.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Took him down again.
- 45:00 – 1:00:00
A little cortisone? Do…
- JRJoe Rogan
(growling)
- BSBrendan Schaub
A little cortisone? Do all the fucking-
- JRJoe Rogan
No, no.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... worms you want, bro.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, don't, don't give him cortisone. Just give him some stem cells, get that motherfucker up.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Santos, Santos is an interesting fight for Jon.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes. He's interesting because Santos throws fucking nuclear missiles-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Bombs.
- JRJoe Rogan
... at your head. And, you know, he did stop Jimmy in , he stopped several guys at light heavyweight. He looks spectacular at light heavyweight. He stopped Anthony Smith in their last fight at middleweight.
- BSBrendan Schaub
I, I would imagine Santos is almost a bigger underdog than Anthony Smith.
- JRJoe Rogan
Um, I would imagine that too, but I would imagine that he's not going to fight like Anthony Smith. Is he okay? What does it say? What does it say?
- BSBrendan Schaub
"I'm fine. My shoulder's not too bad."
- JRJoe Rogan
Not too bad is not a good thing to say. "I just need to do some exams and check to be 100% sure that it was nothing serious." Okay, that doesn't mean it's okay. Because the thing about m- shoulder tears, and this is coming from someone who's had some shoulder issues, they, it feels all right until you do something weird, and then it hurts, and then you're like, "Fuck." And then you get an MRI and then they look at it and they go, "Oh, you got some tears in there, son."
- BSBrendan Schaub
But sometimes it's not shit. I've had a problem where I'm like, "Dude, I'm fucked, I can't move my shoulder."
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Then two days later, like, "Well, fuck it, let's do it."
- JRJoe Rogan
Right. That's usually like sore tendons or sore muscles.
- BSBrendan Schaub
And he was doing the worm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, but he fell face first and landed on his shoulder weird.
- BSBrendan Schaub
But I'm sure he's done, doing that.
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh, maybe, man, I don't know. It's hard.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Dude, how about his post-fight speech?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, he's hilarious.
- BSBrendan Schaub
"I love Mickey Mouse."
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, he's hilarious.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Okay, well-
- JRJoe Rogan
He's a real character.
- BSBrendan Schaub
He's a character. We need to work on his English, but he's gonna go far.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Motherfucker has some power.
- BSBrendan Schaub
That flying knee.
- 1:00:00 – 1:02:32
Usman's muscular as fuck…
- JRJoe Rogan
the size of a running back's. He has giant-ass legs.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Usman's muscular as fuck too, though.
- JRJoe Rogan
He is, but Usman's longer. Longer, it's different. Like, it's not, it's not that stacked-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Dense.
- JRJoe Rogan
... jacked, dense, almost powerlifting muscle. And, and that muscle is one of the reasons why Tyron is so fucking fast and powerful. But it also, you could make the argument that that muscle just comes with an unavoidable price, and that what he's been really able to do is jack his conditioning up as high as possible and then also do a really good job of controlling the pace of fights. He couldn't do that with Usman.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Good point.
- JRJoe Rogan
Could be. So we don't know. I feel bad for the guy. I'm a fan. I want to see w- i- if he wasn't 100% focused, I want to see him one more time focused with Usman, but-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Here's the problem. Like with, with, um, um, with Cejudo and TJ-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... caught behind the ear, stopped early. All right, rematch. For sure, rematch. Other guys where it's quick, Cain Velasquez, JDS, quick rematch, let's do it, run it back.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- BSBrendan Schaub
When you get outclassed for f- 25 minutes and there's two, eight, 10 rounds-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... it's tough to, to g- there's no way, obviously there's no way you can rematch.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right. Yeah, Cejudo and TJ-
- BSBrendan Schaub
So I'm telling you-
- JRJoe Rogan
... you could, you could really call for a rematch in that fight.
- BSBrendan Schaub
The, the UFC is gonna make Woodley's path to that title shot a fucking nightmare, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
Who stopped that fight? Cejudo and TJ, who stopped that fight? Who was the referee in that fight?
- BSBrendan Schaub
I'm not really-
- JRJoe Rogan
Was that Herb?
- BSBrendan Schaub
No.
- JRJoe Rogan
No? Who was it? So Leon Roberts was the one who separated Demian Maia-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Was it Roberts again?
- JRJoe Rogan
... and Usman.
- BSBrendan Schaub
I want (claps hands) to say it's Leon Roberts.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Was it Leon Roberts? No. Uh, gentleman-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Oh, no.
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh, I forget his name.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Powerful haircut, though.
