Clearly ahead. Yeah. With a guy you know throws hammers. Yeah. You know?
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
It was a bad beating. And it was kind of – Should have never talked shit to him.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Poor Volk. I mean, I personally like to see him rest a little bit anyway.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
That seems crazy. As soon as I saw that fight, I was like... Are you kidding me, man? He was in there for five rounds with him.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Look, I don't begrudge him for taking that shot. I think the second fight was even the bigger mistake because you had just been flatlined. And now you've got to cut back down and go back out there on such short notice.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Plus, all the fighters are still under your control, under contract. It's a bit of a problem.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
That was probably more his problem. You saw physically how he looked for the second Islam fight. He always looks like a tank.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
I thought abs, but holy fuck. I think if you're always about four weeks out, that's probably about the right distance.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
I expected to see him get tested, and he wasn't tested at all. Well, he got an A+. Yeah, he handled it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
He's funny. He is. I like his personality. He's on his podcast. He's funny. Like, this guy's a character all of a sudden. Like, he's good.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Dude, I'm down for none of that. I mean, you don't do that. When Conor was talking about Poirier's wife, like, come on, man. Well, that's why. That's like I'm finding you on the street now. I couldn't fight now.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
You don't even need to speak English. He's got a good social media presence there. He shows a sense of humor on social media, so I think that endears people to him as well.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Do you know how hard that is to do? What did he do?
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
It was the violence that attracted people to him. Talking about wars, him and both Rory McDonald fights. Oh, my God. Him and Carlos Conde.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Oh, yeah. His leg was a one-way ass-whipping until he uncorked. Uncorked. Oh, fucking bomb. That was crazy. He was kicking Robbie's leg so bad it was lifting his leg up in the air. He's probably having flashbacks of Pete Spratt. Oh, yeah. That's right. Remember that? Pete Spratt.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
It's going to be fucking phenomenal. The thing that I think that Sean does well, like he got Aljo with it, is, I mean, you know Marab's going to be pressuring because he has to beat him. Sean took out Aljo backing up. You know what I mean? A lot of guys can't fight moving backwards. He does have the ability to fight moving backwards.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
I think he needs one round, mushing him in the fence, just wear him out, kind of like GSP did with BJ. Wear him out a little bit, slow him down a little bit, and then you can put the pace on him. It's going to be very exciting.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
That's what we're dealing with. I'm rooting for Rob. I like him. I think he's great.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
It's another weapon in the arsenal. It really is. Might be the most important, because what's the difference what you know if you can't get out there and apply it?
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Yeah, he doesn't really have a tell. It just...
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
He whooped his ass, too. It was a dominant performance.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
And Rob was able to stand with guys like Jan and things, so he's definitely not... He's not definitely not incapable there.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
It's exciting. It's exciting. It's a real clash of styles.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
I mean, and boxing's making a little comeback, too. Oh, yeah. Once Gervonta and Ryan Garcia got it on, now it seems like they're starting to make some more fights.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're bringing the money. What do you think of them? I mean, are they really doing Canelo for $20 or something? You saw what they were saying?
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
It's only $20? Don't quote me, but the prince who runs that Riyadh stuff said he's going to make all pay-per-views $20 because he believes that it would make it more, expose it to more people, grow the audience, we'd still make money, and everybody would be able to watch it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
I mean, it's what he's saying. And he was talking about if it's that cheap.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Nobody even knows about them. They should know these two. I know. I mean, they're both sick, sick boxers.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
After you pay for the pay-per-view. It should be 15.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
John Rollo. Yep. I have Ground Control back home. Anybody looking to train any mixed martial arts, it's at BeMoreMMA. And also Shogun Fights, which we have another show coming up on October the 5th. And I'm getting ready to open a gym probably within a month or so called Fit Factory. So keep your eyes out for that. Boom. Beautiful.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
That's what I'm saying. Why not give him a wrinkle just to give him something to think about?
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Let's talk about that. He leans into that Easter Island thing, too. He'll wear the chain with the big head on it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Who is it? I'm on airplane mode. Hold on, let me see. I think it's an iPhone. Is that you, Jimmy? Oh, it's a cell phone. It is me.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
But on the flip side, Herb wasn't in Jamal's way. He could definitely have moved if he wanted.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
When Khalil's on, Khalil Rountree's fucking terrifying. He came back from Thailand like a different fighter. I think once he went over there and was training full-time, Like, there was a big change in him, I thought.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
What was the Netflix series that followed the chimps?
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
That's what I thought, Chimp Empire. Incredible. That was a crazy, crazy show. Crazy show.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Like they were, they were fighting over territory. I mean, you got to see the hierarchy within, you know, their clans or whatever you want to call it. It's a badass thing. You had the guy on your show, right? Yeah, the guy who produced it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Is that the guy's name? In the first one, yeah. They became friends at the end. I remember all that shit. Philo Betto was Clint's name. Philo Betto. Yeah. Yeah, and they had the right turn, Clyde.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Man, I'm a fan of Tombstone with Val Kilmer, too. I love that movie. That one scene.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
That one scene was so intense. Which one? Unforgiven?
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Hey, Tom Hardy and Peaky Blinders? You have to get through the first season. The first season's slow as fuck. Once you get out of the first season, you'll be good to go.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
There you go. Good man. It does actually say Marvel on it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
I think he sneezes and it fucks up his, I guess, his ability to control it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Yeah, but the whole show is like this where they do shit like that. That is so crazy. But, like, there's some good stuff in the show. Yeah, that's gross. The first few seasons was cool. This past season, they got woke on me.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
That's what I thought of him. Yeah, well, imagine having Matt and Ray Longo as your English teachers. Oh, no, he's funny as hell.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That is true.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
I mean, that's good. That totally makes sense.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Oh, yes. They were in body armor and shit.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
I don't like that. They try to break your hand. That gets on my fucking nerves when they want to squeeze your fingers. It's a bitch move. Shake your hand, dude.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
They were literally just walking up the street blasting people.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Everybody was like, what the fuck is going on? It was so crazy. How far from you was it?
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
You ever see the footage? It's crazy. The news footage is wild.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Yeah, shit. I think we know that guy's guilty. There's no CGI in 1996. Save the taxpayers some money.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
It's a pretty long scene, too, when the real shit went down.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
I know a lot of people are coming in. They just make it, right? They just make it. Yeah, they can make it, too. Well, you need precursors. They try to lock down most of the drugs for it now, like the Sudafed and shit. I mean, you've got to get a license to get that stuff now.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Breaking bad. Yeah, I was going to say, Walter White doing that shit. Yeah, another great TV show.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
That's what happened. Look at that. May 19, 2023. Bare Knuckle.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Joey Beltran could fight. Get out of here.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
I think he beat Sakara after that, the Italian. Alessio Sakara? Yeah, yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Thank you. Stand-up was sharp. Earlier, it was all his grappling, and I'm thinking, this guy, I texted him right after a fight, and that was what I complimented him on.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Made his top control definitely look better.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Damn. Yeah. My buddy has a spot at home called Life Med. They have a deal with the UFC as well. Petroski goes there like a bunch of these guys doing that stuff.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
This thing you were talking about, too, helps to really stabilize the ligaments. It tightens all the stabilizers up, and that's the thing everybody neglects because if you go too heavy, your delt takes over and your rotator cuff's not getting it. Exactly. So this kind of stuff definitely should be used.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
You take the smelling salts before you lift that weight. I'm not going to smell this enough to shit myself.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Dude, what movie is this from? Blade. Blade. Oh, I love that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Alex gets hit. You know, I mean, it's a fact.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
I thought he was like 34. And fighting well.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
And he don't have a lot of damage. I'm 36. Khalil's 34. Speaking of superheroes.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Well, it is, too, because when guys that fight, like Roy Jones, amazing, but an amazing athlete. He was so much faster than everybody he fought with. He could keep his hands down and still never get hit. Right. When he started to slow down, everybody knocked him out.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
That's why I asked how old Pereira was, because I'm like, maybe when he slows a bit and the hands are down, that's when that button starts to get pushed.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
I don't think he was the same after that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
He was so nasty, but he was also shredded. He was shredded, and he looked hard, like ripped. He's a rock.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
That's not happening. Different thing. Yeah, that's not happening. One of the purest power punchers was Julian Jackson. Oh, my God.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Dude, you just do Julian Jackson highlights. This one's terrifying. This one's terrifying. Well, Terry Norris, that poor guy. Yeah. He's in real rough shape now.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Julian Jackson was terrifying. They're short. How short those punches are.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Gerald McClellan had his number. I felt so bad for him because he got slept so fast in those fights. No, Gerald McClellan was a 75-pounder.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
No real permission. Bro, what a body, though.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Yeah, they wound up fighting twice. I was at one of the fights.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
My first live boxing card I ever went to was in Vegas at the MGM. And it was all rematches. It was Jesse James-Leha and Azuma Nelson.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
It was – I think it was Simon Brown and Vincent Pettway. It was Julian Jackson and Gerald McClellan. And it was Julio Cesar Chavez and Frankie Randall. God, what weight is this at? What weight is this at?
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Was that a low blow? Big time. Yeah, because Gerald McClellan. He was really struggling to make weight. Gerald took his belt, and then they rematched, and he slept him. And so the Nigel Benn fight, that was middleweight as well. Nigel Benn, man, he. That was the one that ended his career. Joe McClellan. Yeah, dude.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
I mean, in my opinion, there was a lot of rabid punching, and he wound up having a blood clot in the back of his head after that fight.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Oh, my goodness. In the rematch, he sleeps him fast. Oh, my goodness. What is going on with his hair? That's what they did back then. What is that? Hit and play.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
He just had his number, man. Beat him both times.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
But Bobby Lashley had everything. Oh, Randleman, for sure. Yeah, but we know.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Oh, man, right away. That's what I say.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
That looks like a WWE guy. He is. He was. And he can fight, man.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
What do you guys think of Ortega and Lopez? Crazy. That's a good fight. I think Lopez is going to get them.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
He might have trained that day. Something I didn't know about that, but I was watching, DC was actually talking about this. And he said that Ige had been training for five or six weeks. Obviously, he took the fight on like a two-hour call. They said Lopez had only been training for three weeks.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Was he like a D2 national champ or something like that as a wrestler? Yeah, he was. Yeah, he was a real legit wrestler.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Because it was short notice for him, too. Because he got tired in the fight, and everybody's thinking he's got a big gas tank. Well, he had to cut weight, too, though. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He cut weight to 45. Yeah, so he had three weeks of training, weight up and down everywhere. And they fought at 60, right? And he was able to pull it out. Didn't they fight at 60?
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Do you think same-day weigh-ins would change it? But it would get more guys hurt. I mean, they say that because of the dehydration and stuff.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Makes sense because they're not cutting weight.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Boom Boom was never the same after that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Uh-huh. That's right. It ain't cheating if you don't get caught.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
My point exactly. I was shocked because that's really not what they're supposed to be about.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
I was just looking at pictures of him today versus Uber Eam, and it's pretty crazy because he's lost a ton of weight.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Well, he's still a big fucking guy. They have side-by-sides of him then and now.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
That is true. It is rough to get hydrated back up, though, without these fucking things. What was the explanation for that? Like, doing away with them. People could use that to mask.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
It's hard to get hydrated back up, man. Yeah, that was kind of my point, because it kind of takes away from safety, but I guess...
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Maybe they need to weigh in the day they're signing the contract to see where both of them are. That way no shenanigans is going on either.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
What they do in like Maryland for like high school wrestling, before the season, the kids have to get the electric, you know, body composition. Yeah. And it sees what they weigh. It sees where their body fat percentage is. And it says you can't go no lower than this. So they basically dictate to them.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Well, I'm not saying schools. I'm not a school system.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
I heard, doesn't California do some kind, like Andy Foster, do some kind of hydration testing there for athletes?
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Better for your chin not to be dehydrated. Better for everything.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
That's crazy. My wife hates that. That's her biggest peeve with MMA is weight cutting. She's like, that's not even fair.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Japan really was the only place to put on the crazy freak shows. They were loving the steroids. Let a 180-pound guy fight a gorilla.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Get in there, lady. Genki Sudo took on all kinds of giants. Did he take on Butterbean? Yeah, Genki Sudo fought Butterbean. And beat him. And beat him.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
He was a tough man. Bro, he could punch. What did they used to call him? The king of the four-rounders? Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
All his fights would be four rounds, so he could go out there and windmill people.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
This has got to be Japan. Who is that? Who is he fighting there, Jeremy? I mean, he's leg-kicking this guy.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Dude, poor Butterbean. That guy was... Couldn't walk, couldn't anything. Celebrity boxing. What, now he's fucked up?
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
He's messed up. Diamond Dallas Page brought it, like, really did another rehab on him. Another one of those things on him? He brought him back, man. Really? Shout out to DDP. He's such a positive guy. Yeah. Like, put him up in the house, feeding him all that, you know? He's feeding Butterbean? He's such a good person. Dude, you should, like, it's something to see. Like, he really brought him back.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Butterbean couldn't even walk. Butterbean versus Big Roy Fighter. That's the dude. I guess that's what we just watched. Versus. Big roid fighter. That's what it says.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Right. Come on, this is a highlight. This is a clickbait on us.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Let's go. Or I'll do this, you do that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Dude, he's perfectly capable of knocking him out.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
It's just how quickly can it happen because how much gas is a guy like that going to have?
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
First time he gets cracked, I guarantee you his head's going to be like, oh, shit.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
In the first one, you really didn't know what was going on. In the second one, they were prepared for what they were coming up against.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
I was hoping they would have got more into the engineers, like when they did Prometheus, that they would have got into those people, but it wasn't much of the movie.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
This one's fucking good. This one's really good.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
And there's a lot of similarities between Spanish and Italian as well.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
I think it's only two seasons. seasons, but it's very good.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
What a great show. That guy's real. Such a great show. Who they based it on. They based it on a real dude. It holds up. I never heard anything about it. You should watch this. Is his name Ray Stevenson? I highly recommend it. I think he played the Punisher, too, and all the actors. Ray Stevenson, he was Pulio in this. That's what put him on. And the other guy, Lucius, is phenomenal.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
I want to say that Lucius was, maybe they based that on a real guy.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
No, I definitely need to go. They don't have poison in their foods over there.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Yeah, the best times to do it are, like they say, either when you wake up just because you're fasted or after a big workout. They're the safest times to do that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
I mean, he's definitely the greatest defensive fighter of all time. Of all time.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
I mean, Chop Chop, Demarcus Corley cracked him. Cracked him once.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
A lot of people thought Maidana won the first one.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
That is funny. We need that. That's a souvenir. That second fight, Floyd got the ring bigger. And he just destroyed him in the second one because he had more room to run. The first one, Maidana kept getting him on the ropes, getting him on the ropes, and beating him up.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Gets his head off the center line. Oh, my God. Perfect elbow.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
He was still out there doing dumb shit.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Yeah, he's a freak. He's still out there doing it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
They put people in here to like the throw. This card is people like the throw.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
A 10-8 round is more like when Aljamain had Jan on his back the entire round, threatening, you know what I'm saying? Smashing him. Getting there at the end of the round doesn't earn you two points.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
And I don't even, did they give Aljamain two points? I don't even think he got 10-8 for that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
These top three fights are all bangers.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Oh, okay. Yeah, he got real, real sick. He got real sick. Yeah, because they made that fight on, like I said, it was a three-week notice fight. He didn't look good the day of the weigh-ins.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
He's good, yeah. Who do you like on that one? I heard old Cejudo talking about Rybovich. Apparently he trains at his gym. Rybovich is good, man.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Is it going to be two production trucks? People at home aren't going to be seeing the whole visual because it's produced for. That's a very good point. They hired another director. Wow.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
If they're smart, which they are, they should make some kind of documentary or something about the making of this shit. Oh, they probably are. You know what I mean? And so people get to try to see what was going on inside of there that weren't able to get tickets.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
It was like, oh, fuck, I didn't expect that. His first fight with Benson Henderson was one of the sickest fights ever. He had Benson in 100 different submissions, and Benson got out all of them. It was pretty sick. Several triangles. Benson doesn't get enough love. Benson doesn't get enough love. Yeah, it was a great fight when they were in the WEC.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
And the second half of the round he got dropped in, he beat him to death. Beat him to death. I know. He almost stopped hitting that round. That's why the second round happened how it did. He took it out of him in the first round. Yeah, but Rob is an animal.
The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #163 - Protect Ya Neck
Explosive, man. He had that Mickey Mouse voice to go with it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
