Quake LAN addiction, controllers vs. mouse-and-keyboard trash talk
- 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.
- 2:10 – 4:03
“Training” talk, tough-guy gym culture, and working out while sick
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, there's hot girls that take Muay Thai class, right? And they get all serious, angry face, don't talk to anybody, pretend they're real fighters.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Let's relax.
- JRJoe Rogan
Some of them are real.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah, but let's relax.
- JRJoe Rogan
Some of them are not, though. Some of them get super serious.
- BSBrendan Schaub
That's when I whisper like this, "Let's relax."
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. When they say, uh, I, I don't like when people say, "I'm going tr- I'm gonna train today." I'm like, "Uh, what are you doing? You taking Pilates?"
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah, that doesn't count.
- JRJoe Rogan
"Are you training? That's not training. You're training for what? What are you training for? The apocalypse?"
- BSBrendan Schaub
That doesn't count. Yeah, that doesn't count.
- JRJoe Rogan
"Are you training for some dick?" (laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
These goddamn games. They're so addictive.
- BSBrendan Schaub
You were, like, straight up addicted to them, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, yeah. I had a real problem. Well, I kinda got a little b- bit of a problem now. Jamie and I have been talking back and forth, and he's up on me a little bit too. That's why I have to kick Jeff out every now and then just so Jamie and I go one-on-one. One-on-one last time, I fucked him up. And he, he quit.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Well, 'cause me and Jeff are easy prey, right? Like, you, you'd get-
- JVJamie Vernon
He quit. Jeff's not easy prey anymore. Jeff was easy prey for a little bit. If I won all these games, how long do you think we'd be here playing Quake?
- BSBrendan Schaub
True. You wouldn't get anything done.
- JRJoe Rogan
If you won all these games-
- BSBrendan Schaub
He's too competitive.
- JRJoe Rogan
What are you, what are you saying? You lost 13 to five because you were trying real hard? You got fucked up, son.
- JVJamie Vernon
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
I lit you up.
- JVJamie Vernon
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
And talking shit.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Dude, he's tanking.
- JRJoe Rogan
And you were talking shit too.
- BSBrendan Schaub
"He's tanking," he says.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, sure. Fucked him up. Boom, bang. The problem with having another person in, in the, the thing is he always goes after Jeff first, gets that easy kill.
- BSBrendan Schaub
That's what I'm saying.
- 4:03 – 8:17
Diego Sanchez vs. Mickey Gall: bite mark controversy and veteran toughness
- JRJoe Rogan
All right. So let's talk about these fights.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Bro.
- JRJoe Rogan
First of all-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Bro.
- JRJoe Rogan
... let's, let's start with Diego motherfucking Sanchez. All these young guns sleeping on Diego Sanchez.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Fully redeemed himself.
- JRJoe Rogan
Do not sleep. Do not, just do not. Just don't 'cause he will fuck people up still.
- BSBrendan Schaub
How about Mickey Gall bit him? Did you see that?
- JRJoe Rogan
I saw that. That's crazy.
- BSBrendan Schaub
There's a video of him biting him.
- JRJoe Rogan
There's a video of him biting him?
- BSBrendan Schaub
Well, there's a video of Diego going like this, shit.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, Diego, I saw on his-
- BSBrendan Schaub
He fucking bit him.
- JRJoe Rogan
... on his, on his Instagram-
- BSBrendan Schaub
On his chest.
- JRJoe Rogan
... he showed his chest where he got bit.
- BSBrendan Schaub
His titty.
- JRJoe Rogan
That is crazy.
- BSBrendan Schaub
(clears throat) I thought, uh, they said Mickey Gall had a hard cut, like a really hard cut, and maybe that's one of the reasons he got so tired.
- JRJoe Rogan
(coughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
I just don't think that, so far, he's just, the skills aren't there yet. That was, he, he was out of his element a little bit with Diego.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Like, Diego outclassed him.
- JRJoe Rogan
Diego is a monster. I mean, you're dealing with a guy who has 40, look at that bite mark. That is, that is crazy.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Who bites?
- JRJoe Rogan
(inhales through nose)
- BSBrendan Schaub
Who the fuck bites?
- JRJoe Rogan
Mickey Gall. Mickey Gall bites.
- BSBrendan Schaub
(sighs)
- 8:17 – 9:55
Career longevity rabbit hole: old records, Shannon Rich’s insane résumé, and CBD talk
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Crazy. Crazy how long he's been doing it. And again, how long he's been doing it and how much he loves it still. And he says CBD is really helping him. He's got his own CBD. 2002, got it.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Wow.
- JRJoe Rogan
Damn, that motherfucker is 17 years in.
- BSBrendan Schaub
17 years.
- JRJoe Rogan
He fought Michael Johnson in 2000...
- BSBrendan Schaub
Holy fuck. Ring of Fire.
- JRJoe Rogan
Is that the same Michael Johnson?
- BSBrendan Schaub
No way. Mike White?
- JVJamie Vernon
It's got the name tagged, so...
- BSBrendan Schaub
Michael was six years old.
- JRJoe Rogan
What's that?
- JVJamie Vernon
His name would probably be tagged there if it was.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. It would, right? Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
That's not Michael.
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow, he fought Shannon Rich on his third fight. Shannon Rich has like a million fights. Click on Shannon Rich.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Dude, look at Mike Ge- Guymon, The Joker, old school.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
2003.
- JRJoe Rogan
C- click on Sh- Shannon Rich. How many fights has he got? I'm going to say he's got... How many does it say?
- BSBrendan Schaub
Holy shit, that's a lot of losses.
- JRJoe Rogan
Does it say his record?
- BSBrendan Schaub
53 and 79.
- JRJoe Rogan
Jesus Christ.
- JVJamie Vernon
(laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
It's the worst record I've ever seen. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
That's crazy. That is crazy.
- BSBrendan Schaub
That's fucking terrible. Shout out to that guy though for keeping with it, you know?
- JRJoe Rogan
That is cra- He's lost 79 times. Jesus Christ.
- JVJamie Vernon
And 42 kickboxing matches.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh my God, and 42 kickboxing matches. Jesus Christ.
- 9:55 – 11:11
Zabit vs. Jeremy Stephens: hype, expectations, and what “stock” really means
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. It's, uh... I mean, there's so many good companies now, but, uh, you know. Another fight that was crazy, how about Colby and Pedro Muñoz?
- BSBrendan Schaub
Oh. Oh, you're talk- oh, you're talking about Co... Well, you skipped past Zabite-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... and Jeremy Stephens.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Which I thought-
- JRJoe Rogan
Crazy.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Mm, crazy and no. I mean, for Zabite to beat the number six guy in the world.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
It was good.
- JRJoe Rogan
Good fight. What'd you think?
- BSBrendan Schaub
Um, I didn't think it helped Zabite's stock because there's so much hype on him.
- JRJoe Rogan
You didn't think so?
- BSBrendan Schaub
I just think he looked great.
- JRJoe Rogan
Okay.
- BSBrendan Schaub
I just think he looked great.
- JRJoe Rogan
You just think he looked great?
- BSBrendan Schaub
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Really? Well, first of all, he's fighting Jeremy Stephens.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Agree.
- JRJoe Rogan
Jeremy Stephens is fucking dangerous.
- BSBrendan Schaub
One of the best.
- JRJoe Rogan
You can't ask any mistakes with that guy.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Zero. You're getting knocked out.
- JRJoe Rogan
Wait, you didn't think he looked good?
- BSBrendan Schaub
I thought, I thought he looked okay. I didn't think his stock went through the roof with that fight.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm.
- BSBrendan Schaub
He didn't walk away from that fight going, "Oh my God, I can't wait to see him fight again."
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow.
- BSBrendan Schaub
I thought he looked good. But when you, when you hear Mark Henry's coach talk about him, I mean, they talk about him like he's the next fucking...
- 11:11 – 14:38
Cody Garbrandt vs. Pedro Muñoz: ‘seeing red,’ discipline, and rebound paths
- BSBrendan Schaub
Doesn't play the game that Cody Garbrandt played with Pedro Muñoz.
- JRJoe Rogan
The Cody fight was crazy. I just-
- BSBrendan Schaub
That's three losses in a row, three knockouts.
- JRJoe Rogan
Three KOs in a row. I just couldn't believe he was standing with him like that. He got him hurt, and then he got hurt, and then he was determined to take him out. And then they were literally going, "Right hand, right hand, right hand."
- BSBrendan Schaub
Until someone fell.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. And Pedro can take a shot.
- BSBrendan Schaub
So can Cody.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
They both ate shots.
- JRJoe Rogan
He ate some big ones.
- BSBrendan Schaub
But it makes no sense if your code is so technical.
- JRJoe Rogan
I know. It doesn't make any sense.
- BSBrendan Schaub
He s- he said it was a headbutt. He said he got headbutt and then just saw red.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, he definitely did. He definitely got headbutted.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Very Aaron Pico-ish.
- JRJoe Rogan
And he talked about it. He said he got... he saw red, like, he got angry after he got headbutted?
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. You can't do that. Yeah, you got to fight intelli-... I mean, obviously, it's super easy for us to say, you know, sitting here drinking coffee, "Yeah, don't fight e- don't fight angry, bro." You know, it's easy to say. But that's-
- BSBrendan Schaub
But, but, as a form-
- JRJoe Rogan
... also what makes him so dynamic.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Agree, it's what got him to the party. But as a former fighter, it's like coming off two losses, which I've been there, you're usually a little more like, "All right, I'm not going to go down that road."
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- BSBrendan Schaub
"I've been knocked out twice."
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
"I know how that ends."
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
"If I get hit, let's learn from our mistakes."
- JRJoe Rogan
Right, right, right.
- BSBrendan Schaub
That's what's the troubling part.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, and he, uh, (clears throat) he has a speed advantage. Pedro Munoz has very good timing, but I think C- Colby has a speed advantage.
- 14:38 – 19:02
Usman dismantles Woodley: gas tank, mindset, and the new welterweight order
- JRJoe Rogan
... about him and... Yeah, well, he's good at talking shit and getting his name out there. And it's the best thing for, uh, the m- the welterweight division right now after Usman just dominated Tyron Woodley. I was blown away by that fight.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Me too.
- JRJoe Rogan
Blown away.
- BSBrendan Schaub
You and I were texting each other, and it was weird 'cause I had people over at my house to watch the fights. And they were like, "God, this fight's so boring." And I look at 'em, and I'm like, "God, this is brutal." I'm like, "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.
- 19:02 – 24:58
Askren vs. Lawler stoppage debate: limp arm evidence, Herb Dean’s call, and rematch talk
- BSBrendan Schaub
Do you think maybe it was too where Ben Askren's very ... so one-dimensional, he didn't have to worry about the striking at all?
- JRJoe Rogan
Um-
- BSBrendan Schaub
So he just took-
- JRJoe Rogan
... there's a little bit of that, for sure. But the fucking fight started-
- BSBrendan Schaub
(coughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... because he launched Ben Askren into the air and slammed him on his fucking head.
- BSBrendan Schaub
How tough is Ben?
- JRJoe Rogan
Which is crazy.
- BSBrendan Schaub
How tough is Ben Askren?
- JRJoe Rogan
Ben is tough as shit.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Here's the other thing, yes, Ben won controversially. We don't know that ... There was still, what, two minutes left in that fight?
- JRJoe Rogan
Dude, I've been watching the replay.
- BSBrendan Schaub
With that bulldog choke-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... w- with that much time, it could've got pretty dice for, for fucking, um, uh, (clicks tongue) uh, f- uh-
- JRJoe Rogan
Robbie Lawler.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Robbie Lawler.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Could've got dicey.
- JRJoe Rogan
Dude c-
- BSBrendan Schaub
We can't just chalk up-
- JRJoe Rogan
Go to Ben's, uh ... Ben ... I think he put it on his Twitter or his Instagram page, where you see Robbie Lawler's arm go limp. Dude, it goes limp. Now, here's the question. Did it go limp because he just let it go 'cause he was trying to, like, let ... you know, just let it go, 'cause he was trying to, like-
- BSBrendan Schaub
That's a weird move.
- JRJoe Rogan
... just hang on. Because the choke, he was like, he's squeezing really hard, he's gonna tire his arms out.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Tire his chin, though.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's what Robbie said. It wasn't under his chin, no. But here's the thing, and this is ... People need to stop saying that you have to be under the chin to choke a guy unconscious.
- BSBrendan Schaub
No, you can do both.
- JRJoe Rogan
You can choke a guy unconscious across his face.
- BSBrendan Schaub
For sure.
- JRJoe Rogan
You can go across the face, right like this, and if you have a real squeeze, you have like a Marcelo Garcia squeeze, you could put a guy to sleep.
- 24:58 – 36:06
Referees, stand-ups, and public criticism: Goddard vs. Anik/Cruz/Rogan
- JRJoe Rogan
The Demian Maia fight will forever be marred by the fact that they separated them when Demian had one hook in and he was trying to take his back.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Dude, was that fucking, uh, homeboy?The guy who's- who's kept standing him up-
- JRJoe Rogan
Was that Goddard?
- BSBrendan Schaub
... what the fuck are you doing?
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh my God, I don't know what he's doing.
- BSBrendan Schaub
What are you doing?
- JRJoe Rogan
Let's see who that was. Go, go to, uh, Demian Maia versus, um, Kamaru Usman and see who, who separated them 'cause-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Who's the ref?
- JRJoe Rogan
... Matt, uh, Matt "The Terror" Serra was going fucking crazy about that, and he's 100% right. Do you know how difficult it is to get a hold of a guy like Usman like that and to have one hook in standing up and to be working to take his back, and for them to separate him? It is nonsense.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Dude-
- JRJoe Rogan
Pure nonsense.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... do you know, do you know how much harder it is? That's hard.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Do you know how much harder it is to take Woodley down and control him-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes, yes.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... and then you stand him up?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yep, yep.
- BSBrendan Schaub
If I'm Usman, I went, "What the fuck are you doing to me?"
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, but I mean, you stop and think-
- BSBrendan Schaub
You, you take him down. You take him down.
- JRJoe Rogan
... you stop and think about Demian Maia's last fight, right? Who the fu- who the fuck did he just choke unconscious?
- BSBrendan Schaub
He choked the fuck out of... Who was that?
- JRJoe Rogan
Who was it? Who'd he just choke out? Someone really good. Um...
- BSBrendan Schaub
Young kid that they fed up.
- JRJoe Rogan
Okay, so here it is.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Nope, that's not Goddard.
- JRJoe Rogan
Who is it?
- BSBrendan Schaub
Uh, it's the bald feller.
- JRJoe Rogan
Which bald feller?
- BSBrendan Schaub
(sighs)
- 36:06 – 41:24
Leg kicks and ‘fair play’ debates: Wonderboy’s comments, karate vs. Muay Thai, and history
- JRJoe Rogan
But Johnny Walker might have tore it... Okay. Stephen Won- Thompson said his movement was out the window after Darren kill, uh, kick, uh, knee kick out. I- uh, okay. He's also saying that he doesn't think that those kicks should be allowed, which is crazy for someone to say that kicks people in the head. (laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
Who, who's spinning wheel kicks people in the head.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Okay, it says, uh, uh, "It was almost like the dude was trying to put me out," Thompson told Ariel Helwani. Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah, bro.
- JRJoe Rogan
But he was definitely trying to kick me.
- BSBrendan Schaub
It's a goddamn cage fight.
- JRJoe Rogan
"He hit me in the knee, and after that, my movement was pretty much out the window. I was more focused on keeping my knee. It was just another thing to think about out there." Well, that's a strange attitude. You know what I mean?
- BSBrendan Schaub
He's too nice.
- JRJoe Rogan
Maybe that comes because he, he came from a k- karate background and not a Muay Thai background. On the Thomp- on the show, Thompson said he was unsure if targeting the knee with that kick like that is legal. Well, I will tell you, it's legal.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's definitely legal.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Ask Whittaker.
- JRJoe Rogan
So, so are heel hooks, which are way worse. I mean-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Do a spinning, a spinning heel kick to your face.
- JRJoe Rogan
So, so his knee's fucked up. He says, "Hopefully it's nothing major, but it sucks, man. It really does. Disappointed by the whole situation and coming out of it with an injury like that, it only makes it all worse."
- BSBrendan Schaub
He has a fight coming up.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Pettis.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, that's right. So he must have healed it up or got surgery or whatever.
- BSBrendan Schaub
It's a, it's a tough fight for Pettis.
- JRJoe Rogan
I just, I don't understand that. I don't understand that kind of thinking. I mean...
- BSBrendan Schaub
I don't enter he can't hit me.
- JRJoe Rogan
He said, "I was trying to hit the guy hard. I really was. I was just st- unable to put myself in a situation to do so." And the reason for that is because he kicked your knee. And-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Which is a technique.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, it's a technique.
- BSBrendan Schaub
John uses it all the time.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. It's a fucking legit technique. It's good.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Whittaker used it against Romero.
- JRJoe Rogan
Look, I don't... Yes. And Romero used it against Whittaker.
- BSBrendan Schaub
That's where Whittaker first got it.
- 41:24 – 44:23
Jones vs. Anthony Smith: illegal knee controversy, competitor ethics, and who can challenge Jon
- JRJoe Rogan
I want to say this, though, because this is, uh, something that's coming up and it's actually kind of pissing me off.
- BSBrendan Schaub
What's that?
- JRJoe Rogan
There's somebody, there's a bunch of people that have been saying, should Anthony Smith have take, uh, have, like, laid down after he took that il- illegal knee-
- BSBrendan Schaub
No.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and, and won the title?
- BSBrendan Schaub
Who said this?
- JRJoe Rogan
Ariel Helwani, a bunch of other people said it. I think Ariel was suggesting or asking whether or not he should have.
- BSBrendan Schaub
That's some beta male shit.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, it's crazy, because the guy should be praised for, he ate the knee, he was okay, and then he wasn't even thinking about quitting.
- BSBrendan Schaub
It-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
It, it didn't, that didn't go through my mind.
- JRJoe Rogan
It may have went through my mind-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Like, when peop- when people-
- JRJoe Rogan
... that someone might do that. Some people have done that.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Not with Anthony Smith.
- JRJoe Rogan
Not with Anthony Smith.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Have you ever seen him fight before?
- JRJoe Rogan
No, as an animal.
- BSBrendan Schaub
That, that wasn't even a thought.
- JRJoe Rogan
No. Nope, nope, it wasn't a thought. I don't agree with-
- BSBrendan Schaub
And I- and I wasn't like, "Oh, we, we should all give him praise for this." I was like, "Well, no, why would he do that?" That makes sense.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, that's h- that's who he is, but some people, like, let's be honest, and I think Chael Sonnen probably admit to this, if he took that illegal knee, he might say, "That's it. Can't go on. Sorry. Rematch." Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
You get the win and keep going, yep.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, you get the win, you get the title.
- BSBrendan Schaub
But Chael's a businessman.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Chael's a businessman.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. I mean, you get the win, you get the title, you get a rematch. I could be wrong. Chael might disagree, he might say, "No, I'm a competitor. When I'm in there, I wouldn't, wouldn't think that way."
- BSBrendan Schaub
(clears throat) Not at his, not now, his age now.

Johnny Walker hype, shoulder injury from celebration, and a revitalized light heavyweight division
- JRJoe Rogan
Tiago Santos, yeah. Which is, look, Santos is a wild card, that motherfucker can knock out anybody. I would have liked to see Johnny Walker not blow his shoulder out, celebrating.
- BSBrendan Schaub
I heard he's fine, though.
- JRJoe Rogan
What? Listen, man, he couldn't move his arm.
- BSBrendan Schaub
He came in the back and they didn't even... Th- they're waiting until I think today, but in the back, after he went, "I'm actually good now."
- JRJoe Rogan
Okay, so what that must've mean, that must mean that he dislocated it and then they popped it back in place. So it could be fine, or there could be some significant tearing inside that allowed it to dislocate, and that could be a problem in the future.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Let's say it's fine, though.
- JRJoe Rogan
Let's hope it's fine.
- BSBrendan Schaub
He's still not fighting Jon Jones yet, he has a ways to go.
- JRJoe Rogan
Listen, fill that dude up with stem cells, just get a bunch of needles in there and fucking... (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?
- 50:59 – 1:02:11
NFL combine freak athletes, infamous ‘dick fell out’ clip, and MMA protective cup rant
- BSBrendan Schaub
Dude, watch, watch the NFL Combine.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
There's a guy who's 6'3", 230 pounds, ran a 4.3 in the 40, or the 40-inch vert. He's a wide receiver.
- JRJoe Rogan
That is insane.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Has the best footwork you've ever seen. Has footwork like Dominique Cruz. It's- it's mind-blowing. There's a defensive lineman ran a 4.4 40. A big fat dude ran a 4.4.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's insane. That's so fast.
- JVJamie Vernon
Two 300-pounders ran plu- sub-five seconds.
- JRJoe Rogan
300 pounds-
- JVJamie Vernon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... sub-five second 40.
- JVJamie Vernon
4.8, I think it was.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's insane. That's insane.
- BSBrendan Schaub
(laughs) Dude, d-
- JRJoe Rogan
That's so fast.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Have you... I don't know why I bring this up on every podcast. Have you ever seen the guy, he's running the 40 and his dick comes out?
- JVJamie Vernon
(laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(clapping)
- BSBrendan Schaub
It's the best moment in sports.
- JRJoe Rogan
He's got so much dick, it can't be held in.
- BSBrendan Schaub
His dick plops out and he falls.
- JRJoe Rogan
No.
- BSBrendan Schaub
And he pops up and goes... The coach goes, "What happened?" He goes, "My dick fell out, man."
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
And they paused it.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
And it's this fat, black dick. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) Let's see him go. Ready? Go.
- BSBrendan Schaub
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(singing) Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, da, da, da, don't, da, da, da, don't.

Heavyweight politics: Stipe’s limbo, Cain/Ngannou controversy, DC/Brock plans, and ESPN era expansion
- JRJoe Rogan
Right. But I would say the same thing about Stipe Miocic. Stipe-
- BSBrendan Schaub
That super fuck done.
- JRJoe Rogan
... was the motherfucker for years. He's the, he won more title fight defenses than any heavyweight in the history of the sport.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Most successful.
- JRJoe Rogan
He's the number one most successful heavyweight of all time. Beat nothing but world champions, right? Beat nothing but world motherfucking champions. Alistair Overeem, Fabricio Werdum-
