0:00 The Joe Rogan Experience just listening to this george saint pierre is our guest and he's a ufc welterweight champion in the world just uh recently defended his title against uh nick diaz um does doesn't are you cool they would never think that you're a fighter. Of course, yeah. to admit that you're scared because you're not scared to say that you're scared. Right.

1:53 So I'm not scared you can ever be realistic regardless and it sounds more crazy. You know what I mean? And I also have a cat that I'm also a captain a Japanese cat Anna so if they come I can slice them apart A sword and crazy bitches. So do you really have a fear of I'll get into it. No, no, no, no, no. a heart attack right now. it's also good to be honest

5:10 But I don't have to tell everything you're a very smart guy, you know? Something happened, George. they've been hallucinating I don't know. I can't say something happened to me. It's called falling asleep. I hope so. What do you think? You think you're And it already happened. Maybe I watched the wrong time. Yeah. You're like, wait, how long I've been?

8:57 And that they can introduce this chemical into the human body. It could be a third type encounter. But are you worried? No? Just a normal day? manufactured you to be uh next martial arts fighter they're like let's see if we could just Yeah, that would be obvious. pretending. I think it's Yeah, maybe they just... When Apollo Creed says that to Rocky Balboa?

11:56 How did you say that? the chemical that buddy produce yeah that's that i'm happy that i meet you today and you tell that That's interesting. You shut your eyes. You shut off. You don't exist in this plane and your consciousness goes somewhere else like You go away. But you're shutting off. The truth is, like you said, we don't know. We have no idea.

15:20 I don't know what it is. I'm going to research that. What's happening during hypnosis, You know, you don't know. But I'm going to tell you, like Socrates used to say, and he's going to tell the other fish, man, I built a port out in the water. The fish after is going to go back to his friend and he's going to tell the other fish, like a sun. I'm like,

17:39 and we don't know. You know what I think the problem with people wanting to find the truth and a universe and multiple universes. It's too much. there's no way you're going to be able to take We're not designed to process this. We're designed to figure out where the deer are going. going to Peru and they take these ayahuasca ceremonies? It's DMT. And you drink this stuff. And an hour and 20 minutes later,

20:54 same thing that comes out of your brain when you're dreaming yeah yeah pretty nutty yeah you It could be about fight. Yes, I do. Do you things written down yes i do do you That's my goal. they'll get mouthy I want to be the best at what I do. In some countries, it's illegal, you know. It's good and it's very popular. like, you know, like that MFC up in Canada

24:47 There is like a line. Like sumo. They don't want some Brock Lesnar dude just steamrolling someone right into the crowd. if you're there. what if that Daniel Cormier-Frank Mir fight happened? It's true, but I'm sure there is... i mean i like it me me seriously do you think it's possible that the ufc would you would you Back in the day. With his tank top.

27:29 Freddy Dish. Apparently. He's a Canadian. That was good. You needed to have so much courage back in the day when time you this is the the guy is the, you know, these guys, they were the real tough guy, you know what I mean? It pisses me off. Some people think there should be no gloves. He pulls his hand way back. I wouldn't hit like the same way. It would be more realistic.

31:11 you're trying to have it be realistic it's almost like bad to allow people to So there is no movement in the wrist and everything, all the impact makes it harder. Whereas you're taught in karate the idea of punching like a makiwara over and over and over again. So he says it's the third knuckle because he said the alignment of the body is better with the third knuckle.

32:47 Watch those old school fights. I think Jack Dempsey. That's true. Now we're like monster. Like monster like look that glitch go you know it's crazy you know It's like my size. Wild. I'm really intrigued. And I think it translates to MMA very well. It's not the same system, but I did point karate before. The shoot, people say, oh, it's your wrestling.

35:56 wow yeah that's i wrestling too but karate primary because before i i started wrestling That's what I get it from. is the best spinning back kick you you have the best spinning back kick i ever seen in my entire life you know techniques to learn but like for everyday use last week i was doing for the the movie captain america the filming then now i'm doing the

39:00 But when I go to different places, I do my specific things. So I try it. Oh oh i get tapped and you don't want to roll because they don't like getting tapped that's stupid that it doesn't mean anything you tap it doesn't mean you're not as me out if you know it's something jitsu oh i would tap otherwise he would have break my arm yeah to train of course I don't try to hurt myself when I train and try to hurt people you know

42:00 Things like that you don't need to make a name for himself. And I don't like it, you know and I like to try with different trade partner they they always hurt people and so no i didn't mean it. But why it always happen to you, man? Because he's like, and they're all like oh why why why it's like because when every time someone It could have happened accidentally once and it was very rare.

44:09 They just walk away from them. You put together a great camp now, though, man. brilliant educated man I ever met in my life. oh my god in a hip-hop club can you believe it and apparently he was like big on like weightlifting back then yeah he was a bodybuilder yeah and then he starts doing jiu-jitsu and fell in love with it where I can go train there and get better.

46:31 a plastic cup, and there was fucking alcohol in it. the late afternoon, not the morning class, get this guy we need to keep this guy here we need it was it was good tv you know i was like no no he's leaving he has to go back it was making me look but MMA doesn't know anything about it. Wow it's weird because you look at the guy you'd never think that guy's a

48:45 I don't know what channel that is. kickboxing match you know when guys have no worries about being taken down you know and when people But he's a K-1 champion. thinking. He's got a testosterone issue. and bigfoot silva waited until he got tired and just beat the shit out of him that was uh that hit him up against the cage? Literally, he's keeping him standing with his punches.

51:09 It's true. No, no. Like pride, it's a good thing, but it could be a bad thing. why did I go back to my equilibrium before reattacking? So I didn't have any equilibrium. And thanks God, the referee stopped. relaxed, and then I came back later. Like I was on my feet. The kick, what had you in more trouble? back and or hold him or go for you know instead of trying to slug fest with him and conduct when

55:09 Yeah, it looked like a hard kick. What's going on? Ah, the book, PR stuff. You got curves. Silva is fighting Chris Weinman, but I understand Silvay is very big. what weight class and everything. Wow. It would be easier for me to go fight at 155 than fighting at 185. What do you think is next? It's a fight that a lot of people want to see. I try to take one fight at a time, you know,

58:49 Because otherwise I will get tired of what I do. Now, while you're doing this, do you keep up with your jiu-jitsu at all, Like now, I'm going to have only maybe one hour and a half. the training itself, How often do you do that? Yeah, if I would have started all over again, discovered that bodybuilder is not suited for you know mixed martial it's I would have to tell myself, George,

1:01:22 I bench like, what, two plates and a half maximum. I'm not a very strong bench press. People are like, my God, i'm not very strong i bench like what two plate two plate and a half maximum i'm not very strong bench press people are like my god you're not very strong again i'm And it's genetic, man.
