JRE MMA Show #95 with Brendan Schaub

1. 0:00 – 15:00

   Fight week. (gasps) It's…

   1. JRJoe Rogan0:03

      Fight week. (gasps) It's here.

   2. BSBrendan Schaub0:06

      Dude.

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:07

      It's here. We're just a couple days away. Here we are, Thursday. We got Friday, and then Saturday's fights, and I gotta go. I'm gonna be in Jacksonville, Florida. I'm gonna be doing commentary in an empty arena. No one's gonna be near me. Everybody has to be really far away from each other. We're gonna be on separate corners of the octagon, which, which fucking sucks.

   4. BSBrendan Schaub0:24

      You, DC-

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:25

      And Hanick.

   6. BSBrendan Schaub0:26

      ... and, and Hanick.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:26

      'Cause, 'cause when things go crazy, DC and I are always grabbing each other.

   8. BSBrendan Schaub0:29

      I know.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:29

      We're like, "Ah!"

   10. BSBrendan Schaub0:31

       You guys vibe off of each other.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:32

       Can't do that. Everybody's a pussy. But we're all tested. That's what doesn't make any sense.

   12. BSBrendan Schaub0:36

       That's what I'm saying. If you all agree, like, yeah-

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:38

       Yeah.

   14. BSBrendan Schaub0:38

       ... we'll risk it, man. We're all, we're all healthy. We're all fine.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:40

       Well, not only are we all healthy and fine, we're tested. We're, we're clean. We don't have it. It's not... Like, we, we don't have to be far apart from each other. I got tested yesterday. I got the results back from my nose swab. That's negative. And then two days before that, I took an antibody test. That's negative, too. I'm, I'm 100% negative.

   16. BSBrendan Schaub0:58

       So whose idea is this?

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:59

       It's fucking s- the state. The state just has real rigid guidelines, apparently. They just wanna make sure that everybody's safe. Cam Hanes wanted to come with me. He couldn't come. Cam or anybody else.

   18. BSBrendan Schaub1:09

       They won't let Cam in?

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:09

       Nope, nope.

   20. BSBrendan Schaub1:11

       (laughs) Do you know what Cam would do to COVID?

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:13

       (laughs) It doesn't have a chance.

   22. BSBrendan Schaub1:14

       Not a chance.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:15

       He's so good with that kinda cardio.

   24. BSBrendan Schaub1:16

       God, come on, man.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:18

       Listen, I had Elon on the podcast yesterday and we talked about what the actual death rate is versus what everyone thought it was going to be.

   26. BSBrendan Schaub1:26

       Is he good at reading stats?

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:27

       Yeah.

   28. BSBrendan Schaub1:27

       I don't know.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:28

       He said it's a, um, a magnitude of 10 to 50%, 10 to 50 times less deadly than they thought it was going to be. That's pretty big.

   30. BSBrendan Schaub1:37

       That's huge.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   He has a ...…

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      Tony has a leg lock game.

   2. BSBrendan Schaub15:01

      He has a ... Yeah, Eddie Bravo's his coach.

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:03

      Yeah, yeah, he's got everything. He's got everything. And his fucking hands are off the charts. He's so weird too, like the way he moves. Tony is so creative with his striking and it's almost like he moves almost like he's breakdancing in there. You know, like he's, he's fucking stepping side to side, left, right, and pop-

   4. BSBrendan Schaub15:20

      It's nuts.

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:20

      ... and then a jab comes outta nowhere. Like, what the fuck is he doing?

   6. BSBrendan Schaub15:23

      I can't tell you who'd win the fight.

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:25

      I don't know.

   8. BSBrendan Schaub15:25

      I can't tell you.

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:25

      I love it though, I love it, I can't wait.

   10. BSBrendan Schaub15:27

       I absolutely love it.

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:27

       I can't wait.

   12. BSBrendan Schaub15:28

       I, I cannot wait for it.

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:29

       Cannot wait.

   14. BSBrendan Schaub15:30

       To me, this is one of the biggest UFC fights of all time.

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:32

       It's a giant card. The card is stacked. It is one of the most stacked cards in the history of the sport.

   16. BSBrendan Schaub15:38

       Since UFC 100.

   17. JRJoe Rogan15:39

       It's-

   18. BSBrendan Schaub15:39

       If you ... From top to bottom-

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:40

       Yeah.

   20. BSBrendan Schaub15:40

       ... UFC 100.

   21. JRJoe Rogan15:41

       It's, there's so many great fights that people are forgetting, like, oh yeah, look, uh, Francis Ngannou versus Rosenstrat. I mean, that fight.

   22. BSBrendan Schaub15:50

       Filthy, dude.

   23. JRJoe Rogan15:51

       Holy shit.

   24. BSBrendan Schaub15:52

       Dude, how about Dominick Cruz?

   25. JRJoe Rogan15:53

       Saudo-

   26. BSBrendan Schaub15:53

       The King at 135.

   27. JRJoe Rogan15:54

       ... Cruz. Crazy. And everybody's forgetting, it's so good, people forgot Jeremy Stephens versus Calvin Kattar.

   28. BSBrendan Schaub16:00

       That's a fucking fight.

   29. JRJoe Rogan16:00

       That's a ... Look, I really believe Calvin Kattar is the dark horse in that division.

   30. BSBrendan Schaub16:05

       That's fair.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   I think so. I…

   1. BSBrendan Schaub30:00

      you're on the shelf. You gotta give the interim belt to Francis and Rosenstruch.

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:03

      I think so. I think so. I mean, there's no one, no one else that stands out.

   3. BSBrendan Schaub30:07

      And then if you're DC, he wants the belt, the real belt, so-

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:10

      Mm-hmm.

   5. BSBrendan Schaub30:11

      ... he's not gonna fight the winner of Francis.

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:13

      He's not gonna wanna fight Francis.

   7. BSBrendan Schaub30:14

      No, he don't want to. Nobody wants to fight Francis.

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:16

      Dude, have you seen Fran- I touched it. Have you seen Francis with his shirt off? Yes.

   9. BSBrendan Schaub30:20

      What the fuck, dude?

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:21

       (laughs) He's training hard, man.

   11. BSBrendan Schaub30:22

       We're not all built the same. (laughs)

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:23

       He's training hard. No, no. Look, man. That guy is like a character in a movie if you stop and think about his childhood, b- learning how to fight and then growing up in a fucking, like working in a sand mine.

   13. BSBrendan Schaub30:36

       And taunt, just hips. (breathing heavily)

   14. JRJoe Rogan30:37

       Just- just digging in the sand. Yeah, I mean, it's like a Conan movie.

   15. BSBrendan Schaub30:41

       Yes.

   16. JRJoe Rogan30:42

       He's so powerful, man. And he's so big. You're talking about a guy who's cutting weight to make 265. And, and all natural, just genetics. Look at that, off the charts genetics.

   17. BSBrendan Schaub30:54

       What the fuck?

   18. JRJoe Rogan30:55

       Power. Insane power. But I'll tell you, man, Rozenstruik is no walk in the park.

   19. BSBrendan Schaub31:02

       No-

   20. JRJoe Rogan31:02

       He's a, he's a real elite striker, man.

   21. BSBrendan Schaub31:04

       (clears throat) Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan31:05

       He's a big fuck, too.

   23. BSBrendan Schaub31:06

       He's more decorated as far as pure striking goes.

   24. JRJoe Rogan31:08

       And he's big, man. He's fucking big. Rozenstruik-

   25. BSBrendan Schaub31:11

       He has built like that though.

   26. JRJoe Rogan31:12

       Nope, not built like that. He's got some body fat on him, but he's a solid 265. Rozenstruik is huge, bro. Have you met him?

   27. BSBrendan Schaub31:20

       I haven't.

   28. JRJoe Rogan31:21

       He's enormous. Rozenstruik is fucking huge. I mean he-

   29. BSBrendan Schaub31:25

       He's gotta be tits on him.

   30. JRJoe Rogan31:26

       He doesn't have the same amount of, uh, low body fat or-
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Yeah. And plus, who…

   1. BSBrendan Schaub45:00

      for sure.

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      Yeah. And plus, who knows what kind of fucked up diseases they have inside their mouth?

   3. BSBrendan Schaub45:05

      But even a house cat, like, m- I mean, you get fucked with a hou- even that, those cats fuck you up.

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:09

      Yeah. A house cat that wants to kill you, that's a real problem.

   5. BSBrendan Schaub45:12

      A bobcat?

   6. JRJoe Rogan45:13

      Think of a rat. Like a rat wanted to kill you. Like a five-pound rat. Like a big-ass-

   7. BSBrendan Schaub45:18

      Problems.

   8. JRJoe Rogan45:18

      ... New York City rat.

   9. BSBrendan Schaub45:19

      Problems.

   10. JRJoe Rogan45:19

       That'd be terrifying.

   11. BSBrendan Schaub45:20

       Terrible.

   12. JRJoe Rogan45:21

       A bobcat is literally like 20 times bigger than that. (laughs)

   13. BSBrendan Schaub45:24

       Problems. I talk all this shit about nature until I run into it.

   14. JRJoe Rogan45:27

       (laughs)

   15. BSBrendan Schaub45:28

       When I saw a bobcat, I was like, "Dude." Talking all that shit.

   16. JRJoe Rogan45:30

       What does a bobcat weigh? Is it, it's not even 10 times bigger than a five-pound rat, but rats don't really get to be five pounds, do they?

   17. BSBrendan Schaub45:39

       Oh, I'm sure. Some of those New York rats that eat good?

   18. JRJoe Rogan45:41

       Five pounds is pretty big.

   19. JVJamie Vernon45:42

       15 to 20 pounds or so.

   20. JRJoe Rogan45:43

       That's what it says for bobcat?

   21. JVJamie Vernon45:44

       It says 19 pounds, so I don't know.

   22. JRJoe Rogan45:45

       Yeah. Yeah, I had a bobcat in my backyard.

   23. BSBrendan Schaub45:48

       Problem.

   24. JRJoe Rogan45:49

       Yeah, they're gross. Those little fucks.

   25. BSBrendan Schaub45:52

       But coyotes don't fuck with people, right?

   26. JRJoe Rogan45:54

       They will. Coyotes killed a girl in, in Canada a few years back.

   27. BSBrendan Schaub45:57

       (sighs)

   28. JRJoe Rogan45:57

       A 19-year-old lady. She was a, a promising folk singer and she was wandering around the woods and the coyotes found her by herself and they ate her.

   29. BSBrendan Schaub46:05

       Circled around her?

   30. JRJoe Rogan46:06

       Yeah, they, they killed her. That's a terrible way to, to die, too. A really bad way to die.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:04:03

   Yeah, it's crazy. …

   1. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:00

      the whole list? Like, these poor guys, man.

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:00:01

      Yeah, it's crazy.

   3. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:02

      It's crazy.

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:00:03

      The requirements are nuts.

   5. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:04

      And the, the winner goes to another tunnel where they get interviewed, secluded.

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:00:08

      God (clears throat) . Yeah. I wonder what kind of restaurants are gonna be open in Jacksonville? I mean-

   7. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:13

      Room service.

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:00:14

      Yeah. I don't even know if Jacksonville's restaurants are open yet. Like, where are we gonna be able to eat? I'm in and out, man. I'm in there on Fr- I'm getting there Saturday morning and I leave Sunday morning. Ka-pow!

   9. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:26

      There's no weigh-ins?

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:00:27

       No weigh-ins. No public weigh-ins. I mean, the whole deal is just ... Weigh-ins are supposed to be public anyway. The only time I'm there is to, you know, to do it on ESPN and I do ... I'm there for the presentation and I announce the fighters' weights and interview the, you know-

   11. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:42

       Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:42

       ... the people in the main event and co-main event.

   13. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:44

       How cool would it be if Florida was like, "Hey, we're gonna open it up. If you wanna go to ... You're at risk, sign this document."

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:00:49

       Oh, it'd be great.

   15. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:50

       Sold out, I bet.

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:00:51

       Oh, yeah. For sure. Dude, it would be sold out. The only-

   17. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:55

       I want people to buy this pay-per-view, man. You know?

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:00:57

       Oh, they're gonna buy it. It's gonna be huge.

   19. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:59

       I hope.

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:00:59

       It's gonna be giant.

   21. BSBrendan Schaub1:01:00

       I hope.

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:01:01

       I ... It's gonna be giant. I'm, I'm g- I guarantee you, people are so looking for something to do.

   23. BSBrendan Schaub1:01:04

       Even with the economy down like this?

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:01:06

       Yes!

   25. BSBrendan Schaub1:01:06

       30 million people out of jobs?

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:01:07

       There's so many people ... But look, there's so many people that are out of jobs. That's a fact. But people have some money and they need some fucking form of entertainment. They need something.

   27. BSBrendan Schaub1:01:17

       Uh, UFC is gonna get people together too 'cause people watch UFC s- with their crew.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:01:21

       Yeah.

   29. BSBrendan Schaub1:01:21

       So it's more like, "Hey, dude. Are you really that scared of COVID? I got the fight." "All right, coming over. I'm gonna order pizza and then everybody's gonna get together."

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:01:27

       Can you imagine watching fucking the fights with your boy and he's wearing a mask?
