Joe Rogan Experience #10084 — Brendan Schaub Transcript

Transcript

0:00 A lot of shit on this table. Please put that on. It's a dried mushroom. I mean, he's one of the original Saturday Night Live slayers. you know? there's a moment where it changes where they stop I was real scared. But I remember that being so sensitive to it like there's something has to be done I know it did. That's one of the harder things about fighters is when you quit, you have to find meaning in your life.

4:34 And I was like, what am I quitting for? Like I'm quitting something that I was good at to be And it's just like where I wanted to be in that party. And I think it took that bridge in that gap. Yes. Dude, people, man, that's one of the things that makes that Francis KO like this quick ascension into into this ufc and i'm and i'm fighting these top 10 top 15 guys i'm

7:30 Normally, you know like Kevin Randleman was an amazing example that he knocked out Mirko cro-cop of the left hook There's this level where you get like a Masvidal. he cracks Darren Till with that step in left hook and puts him out. with his food. I'm not disrespecting You're going to see the old John. I think you're entirely correct. contaminant, one millionth of a fucking gram or whatever the hell it is.

10:05 Shout out to USADA, though. And they did the same. It's not helping anybody in terms of, Tim Means got busted the same Tom Waller? Yes. Kind of lost his career. There's nothing to do. to not be accurate. GSP, obviously. And you're dealing with the guy wins the title, youngest ever in the sport, flying knee opener on Shogun. He's in he couldn't give two fucks about being in there right now. Well. He was smart, too Because he's smart. He's accurate. It's dangerous, but at the same time he could have took him down his coaches like dude

13:01 Well, he's so good. do we do here? He goes out and guts Yeah. Didn't train. I'm just saying, that's how good he is. He's the GOAT. But you can't say that. Yes. All right, beat you in decision. to trick me into leaning towards my right where you could hit me with that left kick. I like what he's doing. It's entertaining, though. Because he starched Robert Whittaker.

15:34 The best. I gave him a hug. When I know a car is awesome, but it's got a steering wheel on the wrong side, I'm like, on the wrong side. What's crazy at that car 720s that's a beautiful car man i saw one the other day they sound good too No, it was almost like, well, don't talk. Anderson would still be Anderson, but Cain Velasquez, terrible talker. Max Holloway.

18:09 He's good at it. never gonna see it get out of big difference there's a big difference but is he's fucking or john jones uh is he's gonna go up he's gonna go up to heavy he's down for what he's like i Remember he took down DC in Olympia? He's the very best at keeping you here. Bang. Keeps you here. all his fights another day in the office another day that's how tyson was when tyson was crushing

21:21 forget we people forget it's hard when you look at it retroactively, you've got to go back and understand the times we were living in. And Chris Lieben had that noggin, that head, so he could take punches. Oh, that's right. Remember when he fucked up Lee Murray? a lot of banks. Hell yeah. Shout out to Lee Murray. Here's a little thought. Yeah. Oh, that guy?

23:39 Get the KO from Mirko Crow Cop versus Dos Caros. Watch this. being in there. And Mirko at the time was explosive. Like a lot of the guys Are you trying to take the mask off? So when they go back to the dude. No, they got blood. What was he thinking? Dude, you knocked that guy out. The best. He gets way better at and Vandale is on all I may be wrong, but I think I'm right.

27:10 Sorry. Wow. And Junior hit him with the uppercut. Look how big his legs were. Boom. They give him a yellow card. And there's the head kick. hitting forearm and gut and here's shout out to Crow Cop you wanna know how cocky and he blocked it and smiled That's a very good fight. and relaxed in there. say he's a brother he does not like it i don't think he necessarily is i think what he is though

30:55 A little more cerebral. Did I say Khabib or Gaethje? we hope and pray that Khabib and I'm saying for Conor. And then my brother texted me and goes, man, you know what's at welterweight? So I think you don't, nobody, whether he complains or not about that, nobody rides for free. That's the right size for him. You think 55 because he did most of his work at 55?

33:35 when the internet's like, ah, it's whatever to me, But now we've seen it's worked out for Cowboy. who do you want to fight? Everyone says Conor. Because you know it's cool. Whoever gets to fight Conor, you get a red panties night belt that'd be cool whoever gets to fight connor you get a red panties night belt because because the belts the belts like the

35:25 like masvidal is a perfect example that masvidal was a 155 for a long time but he's not anymore And you can't pack on any weight, can't put in any muscle. pounder in the world. People forget about that, too. He can play in 70, he can play at 55. In 70, and I know his team wants to do it, and his manager told me this, What'd you think? But have you ever watched an interview and been like, oh, damn, that was.

37:11 I know. But I know guys that are in that same era that are having real problems now. How about his Frank Shamrock fight? And for whatever reason, no one was putting that together. And even the vegans love him because sometimes he follows a vegan diet. doctor stopped the fight because i thought masvidal was setting up to finish him. He doesn't lose any of that swag that he went into.

39:14 It was more competitive. It wasn't like you ran him over. the ability to or they don't throw themselves in the fire correctly like he does. octagon IQ that when he puts it all together, So, you know, when you talk to him, he's like, the belt? he would say that, but I think it would be a real Interesting. No. Well, I or Nick Diaz don't fight on the undercard,

41:24 and they're trying to figure that out. Yeah, he didn't have any food, man. Like that's why I talk about a Nick Diaz fight for Jorge and I talk about a Conor McGregor fight because you're not the title. If I'm the UFC? Him and Dana hate each other. He knows what he's doing. And people look at him with that stupid suit on and the MAGA hat He made a guy.

43:52 And I'd be like, dude, you don't have to do this, man. She goes, get the fuck out of here. When he was an interim champ. So there's a story there. I want to see him fight Nick. Dude, think about the story of him versus Nick Diaz. And people will love that, too. Excuse me Connor hasn't won a fight in three years then before that the only fight he's had against Khabib

45:54 and goes, yeah, I'll fight Cerrone in January Not with that money in the bank? I think he was also tired of it too, man. roddick by decision they had a lot of shit talking he KO'd bone crusher smith right yeah but when And guys are so good. He bought some hotel in Atlanta. Yeah, the rapper. And now he talks about dope and all this shit. It's only 5.8.

48:20 Holy fuck, dude. You can just talk shit in this country, and you can make fucking millions of dollars. That's a good move, right? You would get this suicide sauce on these wings. I fucking love wings. It'd be fun to see you on there, though. Encino and it was this crazy with the ten number ten the hottest shit they had, these dudes would be putting some extra hot sauce in there.

50:36 It's like my favorite meal. Yeah, so 10. paper cup, like that big. people who on that that wing whatever the fuck the Hot Ones is. Well, Shia's got other issues. He just wanted to get a little further down the road When were you there? Oh that's right Six rounds. A ton of money. No, man, he's broke. But they chose this, which I respect. Well, he won for sure.

54:08 Logan could learn how to relax. And in the heat of the battle. And was trained by shannon shannon the cannon briggs let's go I was hoping. I think I found it on one of the websites I follow on Instagram. He goes, think about his fucking losses. Yeah. That's fine. If you think he won, yeah, all back. I remember at the time I did score it for Whitaker. Here's my thing. That's fine.

55:59 It's not official. March Don't forget. He goes, he doesn't speak English. Trust me, it's perfect. Of course he wouldn't. Don't forget. Oh, so when he was saying it was a fight that I wasn't there, but it was if somewhere where was that? What did they think he said? Listen, listen. You forget Go. You forget. Let me hear that again. Damn. That's exactly. You know what? what he said? That's exactly what he said. Let me hear that again.

58:51 I did a little bit. You forget. What happened to you, USA? Forget. Go back for you. No, I know. What's wrong with you? But he says don't forget, right? And look, he's got John 316 It's possible. He's saying don't forget Jesus. Shut, bro, get down. Because when we first watched, I went, oh, he's going hard in the paint on the USA and gays. I'm going to assume he said don't forget Jesus.

1:02:05 But listen, man, that guy is one of the most scary athletes I've ever seen in the UFC. either. Well, he does a little for five minutes for five rounds. No. He's giving you looks. You can't be on guard all the time. You can't be like I think for Stalben, though, and just looking up the matchup and what Stalben did to Robert you know the one guy that knocked out Izzy is starting to fight

1:04:13 How's his MMA coming though? left hook. people don't know who that guy is. I know. Dude, he's a fucking Terminator. Is he fighting? reminds me... He's big. I mean, he really is. I mean, nobody. That's right. You just missed the knockdown. Fucking killers in fact Izzy lost to Jason Willness by decision Look how good that knee is. I mean, that is a perfect flying knee.

1:06:55 Yeah, he was training at AK. I think he wants to do that after Badr then he won two fights soon He'll be tough. And if you see the Stylebender fight, he catches him with a clean left hook and just shuts his lights out. That wasn't Stylebender right there. Right? Everybody with power you've ever seen, and then there's Wilder. He's not like George Foreman or like these bigger dudes.

1:09:10 And that's not an easy fight, man. Dude. You do? someone doesn't like Mexicans. He has a shot, but because he was also, it's not a fluke like Buster Douglas, Mike Tyson, which everybody does but the other thing is he he got – the rumor is he got knocked out in camp by a Philadelphia heavyweight. It seemed like it. So there's like the pressure of the English crowd's not there.

1:11:27 You made two yourself. No, he's a combo. He was like playing with house money. Because he underestimated Andy's resolve and his ability to recover from the big shot. Instead of going in like he did in the first fight. I think he gets caught coming in. can hang with the champs he knocked him out he the title. I think he's the fucking champ. Yep. I don't know, man.

1:13:37 I want to see it all. Dude, his combinations. Remember that? Seriously. him, some English gentleman, and he was saying that you think about it, you have 100% of Andy Ruiz's advantages Joshua. He said he's taking on a prison workout mindset for this fight. where he lifted his arms up in the air. He's exactly the same. Fuck. But I don't think so. Well, it's not going to win any best body contests but he fucks a lot of people up fucks a lot of people up i don't think

1:16:55 Wilder Fury 2, to me, is the heavyweight fight. i re-watched it yesterday in fact you can make a real, real solid argument that Tyson Fury got robbed. You would say, man, I think he won. I like the draw though because Deontay Wilder did the most damage in the fight. Tyson Fury gets dropped But then he gets up What is that then? Right? We're not boxing judges.

1:19:07 Why are we doing it there, dude? That's so true. Likes fighting off his back. Oh, yeah. Remember that fight? How is that possible? bag or run sprints he's just it's just in his dna to keep going you talked eddie about it like dude But you know what it is? Actually, he said it. hold my hand sandwich. He's the fucking man too I know. He's maybe 6'1", 6'2".

1:22:00 You say 250? It's the thickest. I'm a fan of him. Dude 511 I'm fucking is that he could take body shots better because it's like he's wearing eight sweaters. Everybody's kicked him. You 270, bro. He trains hard, but he must eat the shit out of some Mexican food. That Mexican joint that we go to? It's so good, dude. Really? They've got lengua quesadillas.

1:24:17 Mexican or Italian. Really? That's true. And I don't eat the salad bar. Oh, dude. What's with the dried tomatoes? I don't eat that much food. Ari Shaffir, I'm telling you, I never see nothing like it. You can eat as much as you want. dude we uh we had uh dan soda on you know the comic comic he's funny guy man he's the best he's And I was like, well, that's because Joe Rogan is the guy that cultivated

1:27:01 help each other out man and he's like that that, obviously, you and Ari are close. And we got into this because we're fans of comedy. is murdered mark norman's hilarious there's so many good comics now and if you really love comedy by the people that are doing it. it's a different feel it's a different time you know like when i was coming up when i was

1:29:30 Like I got it. We became friends like real early on in our life. I'd only been doing comedy six years. I ate it once. I was real nervous before I went on. And they can smell that. The audience is like, oh, to have a good time, I was going up there selfish. And they can smell that. He was the middle and I was the headliner. Brewer's a monster. Monster. But me taking Diaz on the road with me first of

1:31:50 Yeah. The best. The best. No. But there was moments where it was rough. It was today. I'd want to kill myself It wasn't the worst kind of bombing where they don't clap when you leave. You're like, whoa, sorry. We're supposed to be in support of each other. Whether it's The Tonight Show or it's Friends So it's not like you and i are both And then when you go there, now it's like a feeling of family.

1:34:58 it doesn't feel good to be there because you're not doing well because you bomb too often that's You're humbled. on ice. It's so embarrassing. been more packed. It's sold out every night. It's nice people. Everybody wants family. You did? Me and Johnny Depp are talking on the phone and i'm like what is going We all feel like a fraud. Yeah, cool, man.

1:37:33 To you that was an insane too? How are you really Paul McCartney? Crazy. I didn't even stick around to talk to him just said hi and kept moving i mean i don't have any time why would you yeah i don't have any time and second of all i get it Do you know what he did? stand-up show and everybody was like what is going on and at the time he could have filled up arenas

1:39:36 Oh, yeah. why the fuck would he have me open for like he has all these guys like great comics what do you That's why you're here. I told him he's cool, man. He started his podcast, right? He's born for this about anything he could ramble was February That's a special set of skills. Yeah. Of course. She was like one of the rare people who would prepare for podcasts.

1:42:18 She's always like, well, I'm in the middle of directing this documentary on violence. It's a vortex, bro. And Tom was like, all right, I'm down. He can dance. Oh, my God. I don't know if it's going to be a four-hour. Yeah, that was the other thing I was thinking about, this cowboy versus Connor fight. He's not trash. The real shit. And I like my Budweiser in a can.

1:44:05 Where are they doing it? You're going to make the most money. it could be very interesting. because Conor's got a piston of a left hand, man. The Mike Perry fight opened a lot of eyes. Because Mike Perry fight opened a lot of eyes because Mike Perry's a gorilla. Oh, hell no. He said strange, dude. is what he is he's a wild yeah face and they're in the, you

1:46:30 I know. Oh, never. Like, dude, fight in your hometown, whatever, four weeks later. I think that he wanted fights where Dana was like, look, just slow down. Usually it doesn't pay off. And he also, So this is the area, right? Off the charts. No. It's tough. Is he fighting at 205? They won't even let you side in the country to watch. Get the fuck out.

1:49:56 That's right. oh yeah I'm eating whole foods I mean, he's thick. So we're dealing with a different animal. Saryukin? Saryukin? He has. Yeah, for sure. Starched and then strangled. But also, people dogging on stuff like this. Very smart guy, too. But that's his game. I'm sorry. Why is this happening? I'm pretty sure. No, no, no. I thought Masvidal won. I feel like Damian Maia trying to remember. I thought Maslow won.

1:53:59 But what's interesting about the Maslow-Damian Maia fight is and the referee's stepping in, and I go like this. And I just go, fuck. It's his spot. We talked before, like, no, no, no. I mean, it's just grappling, not MMA. That's what I was thinking. He's going to slip up. Yeah, stop it. who did he fucking knock out cold with Not Eastman. Marvin Eastman.

1:56:55 Oh, very end of the punch. That was the word. I know how it is. And you know you're not going to be healed. shane carwin knocked me literally cold it's like oh we're a week away and then your coach like yeah He had that loss to Lesnar where he came out and fucked Lesnar up in that first round, but then he They could have stopped that fight too. He crushed Frank Mir

1:58:47 That was with Shane Carlin when he was at his peak. And Shane hit him with a six-inch right hand. it's hard to watch He needed the money. His giant foot. You're literally fighting a giant. He had a tumor. it was like the greatest heavyweight fight of all time next day I'm like where the fuck is Bigfoot DC. I threw a one, two. Well, speaking of testing, how about your boy Overeem fight Saturday?

2:01:53 He's a banshee. Really nice guy, too. God, look at him. He's one of those guys where you look at the, oh, they're doing a leg reach thing now. And he's a legit 260 plus, you know And he's a legit 260 plus. He's a legit giant dude. Well, not right away. I don't think that would be smart. No. I think he'd have a guy like Wilder? Well, not right away.

2:03:17 He's 280 plus pounds right now. That is core, that is shoulders, that is legs, that is back. Sand shovelers are doing it all day long. Yeah. front of that fucking guy he also has some brazilian miles on him like there's a he's a who's going to stand in front of him. which is almost ridiculous to say, but that's where we're at But he's also older, so I don't know.

2:06:06 He's by far the most skilled heavyweight we've seen in I don't know how long. Till was like, fuck, dude. If they do cross-pollinate, you stay there. If Francis hits anyone with that left hook, I don't give a fuck if he's wearing one of those cartoon gloves that you get that weigh five pounds. But he still, Stipe got fucking rocked. 100%. Maybe. Maybe. Who knows?

2:07:52 Is that confirmed? This is my third show today. It was really interesting to see if Johnny Walker could make a big splash. He's a beast, man. Stops Johnny Walker. He also mad a little bit because DC I don't know if that fight happens again. DC John Heavyweight, dear God, make it happen. Can John get in there fast enough to get him down? 100%. punches that each one of them has concussion written all over

2:10:18 That was insane. Getting a real camp, real sparring partners, a real game plan. Yeah, be that guy. They speak French though. Could you please switch the station? Call that Khabib guy. Let's not do it like T.J. Dillashaw. No, they don't. Remember whenO every fight They don't No they don't I can't imagine it I almost understand energy to train. I can't imagine it.

2:12:18 and they've assumed he was on it before. Because they're catching people doing shit like that. And I know he's trained a bunch of really top level MMA guys. he's lost a lot of weight. He was dying at Why not 55? I hear what you're saying, Marlon Marais. Dude, Marlon before Cejudo got a hold of him, he looked like a world beater. Because Marais cuts a fuckload of weight.

2:14:11 She's good. She's super technical. Yeah, it's fantastic. Max Holloway, consensus, greatest featherweight of all time. When Ortega was the fucking man. January. February, Houston. What do you think happens there? He does have some power. But if anybody can handle it, it's that guy. Maybe his first fight. it was his first fight. Go to Colby In first fight in the UFC?

2:16:35 It was his fifth fight. But I'm assuming Colby shot in. He was hurt. going into that fight. That was a fight he didn't want to take. that sao paulo yep that's exactly what yeah that's exactly where so he's fighting damien We'll give you another Brazilian. They wanted him to fight in Madison Square Garden. Robbie Lawler is a murderer, right? Stayed on him.

2:18:54 so it's basically two years old He didn't keep it going because he wants to go to WWE. Why not? It's fantastic. Hey, why not, man? like he's a grinder so you gotta have it all man i would like to watch his strength and conditioning He put it on Robbie Lawler like I've never seen anybody put it on him. I go, you going 50%, 60%? Nick started it. Then it's on.

2:21:26 money money money are going to be that's my number one fifth time the fight actually happens. Tight move. for a long time. I know it's different, but I don't think there's that much of an adjustment Does he have any? Told you. Maybe they can roll with it a little bit better. He's been wobbled before the Dillian White fight. What did you think about Canelo

2:24:09 Shout out to Bud. The first one was very controversial. Yeah, I watched it. Laugh my ass off. On Twitter it says, LMAO, Canelo and Kovalev are napping because they got to wait on the UFC. Yeah, bitch. Why not? Is it official? he didn't? Yeah, Dana said he didn't want that fight because I mean, for Adesanya. I'm like, no, you don't understand. I think they're going to do Darren Till Whitaker, man.

2:27:21 Fuck. I don't think Whitaker would be ready to go by then, after he got knocked out The only thing is Robert Whittaker got starched just a couple of months ago. It's too soon. I don't know. I'm don't, dude. Maybe sometime in the future. It's a good time to be a fight fan, man. I know. Yeah. fun gig throwing hundreds but he threw a lot of money Thank you and bye.
