Transcript

0:00 I get so pumped up for these. But today, it's with the great Joey motherfucking Diaz. That was my fight. This, to me, is a fucking barn burner. He just got introduced to the next level of MMA. You've got to put him away, man. guys from shoot the box in Curitiba Brazil those so badass. I mean, he's from such a badass lineage. He made a big mistake, obviously, in the Stipe Miocic fight,

2:39 Who knows? I mean, Frank Mir snapped arms. overall career, because he's definitely had ups and downs, but been in some amazing fights, off the charts the way he wraps you up is so neat He just tucks everything tight like that Fedor arm bar. Oh my god He's a huge guy He didn't give a fuck. And you know what? But he's also got a lot of skill, and he's getting better.

5:42 When? You want to go? I do the every other week thing. and now they've got the UFC heavyweight champion. I think I'm open. Because Alistair has been fighting very smart lately. The thing about him, again, Who did he lose to? Right. The jiu-jitsu and the boxing or the kickboxing, put it all together. Nick Curzon, he's one of the students of Marv Marinovich.

8:30 ruslan provodnikov provodnikov right i'm so high definitely shouldn't be doing this podcast right I was like, yeah, I didn't even think of that. Like, Conor does it so well. Clark taps. Clocked taps. He's a big dude. He's a big dude. He's a big boy. You ever stand next to Dustin Poirier? He's a big dude. He knocked him out. Holloway, Max Holloway's a killer right now.

11:08 oh, this is, uh... You know, you go back and watch some of Seaver's fights, Because it was a beating. He's like Obama. I had something. like nate's a nightmare the people that don't know he's a nightmare they just if you don't know that of piss will linger over my head man. It seems Oh, shit, Duffy with the right hand. That's a beautiful angle of it

14:39 Some work with him before good jujitsu i've seen him demonstrate some techniques and i've talked to some people that and Matt Hume took him apart he blasted him he blasted him with uh because Pat would have definitely fought through it. A broken nose? They fight through it all the time now. Broken nose. Yeah, UFC Tonight. I got to fix my nose. So I do the surgery Monday, and then for a week, I have two straws in my fucking nose.

18:03 Turbinates, yeah. I must have killed that side with a blow. I snort a cheat rock. It all goes in your nose. would you get down on that floor and sniff it right off the floor? This is it. We're living in a movie. Nine o'clock at night I found that. tested by the probation department. You know what I'm saying? Against Cormier once before. Which could be.

21:33 folks, there's people that are selling these things in vitamin stores and these muscle building and you can go and buy steroids like legit steroids like they will And then they have to change the name. You buy those over the counter. becomes a monster your dick just uh something happens to it it just gets so hard that you can't Well, I was out of that hemp-forged chocolate.

24:09 Those fucking Shroom Techs, sometimes you're in the middle of class and you're gasping I tried half of it. it stayed hard, hard in the shower. like an hour later, Because when I was shooting a movie once, I was up all night snorting blow. I grew up without energy drinks. it really goes deep and smoke a joint. and then drive back to Boulder overnight

26:16 and it was freezing out. Oh, my God. student. I've known that kid forever. Tumanoff is a beast, and he just knocked the motherfucker out. You see his jiu-jitsu? But Cordero is Cordero, so I trust they're up to something. michael kiesa choked him but kiosa i'm telling you man michael kiesa has nasty back control i you know, just looks like a regular dude.

29:04 position for him. that goes in there with, That jiu-jitsu makes you so analytical when you're a high-level black belt. I would like to see him pass. Because if you can pass and get to a dominant position, that can fuck you up from there. Brian Ortega, he will see what's up. And they just kind of cancel each other out. On everybody. If this guy survives this, he is a fucking monster.

32:03 This dude's surviving. Knees to the body against the fence, they're rough. He's getting back up to his feet. Really? Saxons? Used to be that school there. But very highly respected gym. and then clanged with the punch after it. alan's pretty experienced i don't think he emptied his gas tank but guys have emptied their fucking there's just like a mind fuck going on, like, oh, no, did I empty my gas tank?

35:37 dude i mean he had just ridiculous punching power and he was uh just far more skillful uh at the time at least than Brock was Thump! Or maybe overhooked him. of all his football career and you know just years of combat sports training his you know, until his body started having, like, serious problems because of all his football career and, you know, just years of combat sports training, his, you know, his body was giving him some real big problems.

37:24 Does this type of training happen to boxers where they get all? And so with a guy like Joe Ban, did he sprint there? That's the question. Or you're more likely to lose a decision or you're more likely to lose a decision like you try to win the fight They're obviously in fantastic shape. think he's right. I think once you already learn how to fight, then it's almost less important to spend all the time boxing and sparring,

40:12 know how to kick you already know how to punch you already know how to choke dudes you're not that Robbie Lawler's training camps consist of wrestling and hitting the pads. I don't, but some people do. I know he does a lot of pad work. their own method to prepare, but guys like Curzon and I guess it's Marinovich's, um, this is their, He wasn't, his cardio wasn't suspect at all.

42:22 They're all about physical conditioning. I'm dying. I'm huffing and puffing. I look up and there's 350 left on the clock. Three minutes and But I will tell you what I've been doing over there, Joe, He's got a good Instagram page. He's a black belt. Then it closes down until 9.00. He's a former Navy SEAL, and now he does, like, And he's doing fucking deadlifts and squats and fucking throwing kettlebells around and

45:19 11. Yeah yeah yeah And Lister is Yeah I convinced him I think you might have emptied that gas tank. They went to a decision. Congrats on that performance. Yeah, because they didn't have a picture of him. putting it on him beginning in sometime in the second round look Look at those nice combinations, man. and I go, Do they? I go on a fucking drought after 6 so I can sleep fucking nine hours straight without pissing.

48:03 Yeah, so now they're saying a baby aspirin to glass of water. Well, he better get on his knees and thank the Lord. yeah he should have used better wording. You know, my coaches led me through it. That's the problem with actually knowing a dude and being friends with a dude and then doing commentary on his fights and watching him fight. It might be like 5 o'clock in the morning.

50:21 Yeah. There's something weird about seeing people wake up, sort of like seeing people leave their houses fuck you're doing sometimes when you watch other people doing it you kind of realize it's like oh behind the curtain before the play plays out so you get to see like oh this is this is weird when We'll get out of the fucking bathroom you're going to bathroom smells like ten shits

53:14 She gets her own chocolate milk. Once I hit life Yeah The fives in the mornings Yeah. I think we all need that. We miss that. or whenever the next fucking crazy invention comes out. Unless I see missed call, missed call, I put the phone down. I didn't tape that set last night, but I said one thing on stage that I liked. Look at this guy. I mean, that's weird.

56:07 Joe Lozon. I think 45 was too much for him. Joe Lozon, that's right. DC is still supposed to fight someone? Next thing you know, you're banned from the fucking fights and shit. I don't see nothing. Like a relative that I haven't seen since I was 15. I pulled it off. Number 200 This is CBD oil. morning. I do it after the almond shake. I do Tylenol, You read all these

59:52 But it's an element of marijuana. That's what works on those tumors. that i was never familiar with holistic medicine until i moved to boulder and i thought these It's where it breeds out to the rest of the country. But you know what, man? It looks very simple. Whatever the fuck you did in those days. it over his head like a fucking ballerina plus he'll choke you out i mean his his ability to

1:03:10 Crone, chokes, I mean, they know it, I'm sure. right? He's like, I'm knocking After this. before he ever did any MMA. Frank Mir has gone through, you know, days where he's less dedicated, days where he's more dedicated. They said that they tested that they put the steroids in the kangaroo meat or some shit. Come on. Oh my God. if his positive test I told you.

1:06:44 See, now this is a bad spot for him because roy has a fucking nasty ground game everybody thinks blasted in the gut. Damn, this is a fight for his life here CBD oil, shit like that. during a protest. No shit. No shit. fucked up. Oh. Roy's taking This could be a wrap, man. Especially when I'm sweating and shit. out of him. Imagine if he grabs the mic and says, forget it.

1:10:28 more and more comfortable with the experience. and Roy knows how to win. How about that? and can take unbelievable punches and kicks 210? Yeah, look at the legs. That's part of his flair. as fuck, too. Just tough The thing is, guys, he's KO'd. Oh, side control. He blew his gas tank trying to put Roy away, I think. He's going to punch Derek in the face

1:14:27 That's a strong move. He doesn't take people's backs because of his gut. Okay, back to side control. Yeah, he's tired. I'm just a big fan of Roy Nelson sweat. That shit's deadly, dog. Third round. And when two guys start getting tired, the guy with the greater wrestling is able to usually impose his wrestling game better than the guy how much energy do I use to fight off this takedown?

1:17:35 especially if it gets any deeper here. Okay, so now he's got three minutes and 30 seconds to work. In New York, that guy? Derek is like an exploder. The way he got up, that was all smooth and everything like that. He's got real good head control like Roy's. That's impressive. Here we go. Derek was giving that one away. Oh, Jesus. Getting this titty juice on me. I can juice. Getting this titty juice on me.

1:21:15 Does he get free? But he don't give a fuck Oh my goodness Mouthpiece something Here's a right hand. just superhuman. and for as long as he's been doing it I mean he's been taking shots for a long fucking time and Takedowns, right? 29-20. Three. Who takes that shot? Who fucking takes But anyway, what I was going to say is, uh, sometimes they get bummed out that, um,

1:25:39 or at the very least they should share something if it's like a split decision. I'm obviously not a money person. When players also feel like that guy deserves it and he gets like a million-dollar bonus. There's playing the thing out for fans to watch a game. the record remember he was going up against the steroid guy I'll never for him not to. I was more excited about Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones.

1:29:17 Mm-hmm, he should be. I'm interested. he beats the fuck out of Frank Mir here. Heavyweight division has a weight limit. But I just don't know if there's enough 265-pound-plus elite MMA athletes. There would all be a bunch of fucking ex-linemen. 20 pounds maybe. Once you break the takedown to them, to football, 285, to take a motherfucker down like Chael.

1:32:13 How do you say that? Holy shit, dude. I saw NFL linemen talking about you can bench 600 pounds. the other day where he's benching way over 575, it says. Look at the size of this motherfucker. Well, there's one... And then he all of a sudden marks a ginger. Yeah, I wonder. He'll be in that same condition. had shoulder surgery. He's had knee surgery. There's a lot going on. I mean, no one's a bigger

1:35:59 But Alistair, certainly a combat sports athlete. until this next upcoming fight. He put a flyer out with UFC 200 on it this afternoon. I was just going to say Cormier goes down, and strangled him. I want to say that was a non-title affair. He fought Jon Jones 205, fought Forrest at 205. Okay. You know me. How good is it? really potent edibles. My legs can't stop.

1:39:11 you get all fucking crazy paranoid and weirded out and you feel vulnerable and strange when it's over Once the adrenaline met the THC, then I just ran with it, and I walked out, and it ended up perfect. What do you got? My man Chris sent me the fanny pack. I got the fucking, look, I even got Quaaludes. No, this is it, I think. He makes really good geese, man.

1:41:03 fuck. Ice House. Okay, he's coming in for EBI. What do you think about this fight, Joey Diaz? he's a great but he's also, What he is, more than anything, man, is super serious and super focused. and he beat him pretty I did not expect that. Like I expected a good fight. I expected a struggle, but he did the He might have worked with other fighters that I don't know about,

1:44:10 That was the biggest. With the fucking wig, too? So here's the question. He's doing something What's he doing Oh yeah That's how hard he's been training. And the most exciting, biggest challenge is where he's going to fight his best. Alvarez is no fucking joke. And throw bombs to be a professional fighter, 150-fucking-5. jesus what a weird choice you know dangerous choice in life man crazy just unbelievably difficult journey you're on

1:47:34 those guys are the really good guillotine Now he's 125, right? he can add in oh he almost left him oh jesus christ oh jesus fucking christ oh jesus fucking This is heart against fucking skill, Joe Rogan. Side control. I'm telling you, cocksuckers. The fucking, these people, savages. Where's Conor McGregor now? God damn, Eddie Alvarez. That's what I'm fucking talking about

1:50:07 Let's do that again. They're fucking savages, too. Fuck you and your dumb fights, Mark Hunter. A pizza fucking dude. Fucking tremendous. And I told you on the phone, Joe Rogan, leaves Bellator as a champion. I wrote it Look at that right hand All fucking heart No, Dos Anjos. He's a great guy, man. Good for him. But you ain't beating this kid. You're done.

1:53:39 Look at this, Joe Rogan. Oh, bombs, too. And I totally agree. Look at this tomorrow, man. Look at the prelims. What is that? Look at this. Misha Tate and Amanda Nunes. Yeah. And they said, fuck this shit. I mean, it's an interim title. is he going to do that? Let me explain something to you. You can't. That Max Holloway kid, right? It's a tremendous weight class.

1:57:29 Wait till you count these. Look at that. What were you saying, Jamie? All right. They already were setting this up. No one's a bigger fan of that dude than me. Lung infection or blood clots or something. I was one of the best fights I've ever seen. Yeah, Tony had to pull out due to an injury, right? Tony got injured. He's nuts. that Nurmagomedov needed that fight too.

2:00:01 to knock the dust off a little bit. Yeah, I think he might have rushed his comeback. A couple guys have had that happen. Yeah. But, you know, That's one of the greatest lines in any movie. Not much. That's amazing. They got everybody in on it. You know, home, the Knicks home on a Tuesday night, they're giving three. You know, when I first used to go to UFC years ago, just in my thought, not even what you would say to me, I would win money.

2:02:32 like somebody who was a fighter? Because listen, you're going to gamble to fucking matter if you had Holly Holm, Nobody fucking knows. It's weird. And I haven't really followed them, so. Not only that, that was his first fight in the UFC. you're gonna see some stupid high level striking i mean his striking is very clean man real dangerous He's fought in Pride. He's fought in Dream.

2:05:10 He just came in and went for that fucking stomach. It's on Fight Pass, right? You know what we got to get, dude? I wouldn't buy it, but Red Band has it. Boy, it's after 100. They both weighed 265 because I remember them weighing in. It's got like a swipe pad on it. Tell it what you want to watch. movies, man. I don't remember what my point was. You talk to the thing. Yeah, you

2:08:00 slugfest. That dude. Let's see where we're at here. It was 141, but this is 60 UFCs ago, almost. Blue collar like a motherfucker. I got to take it back to the roots. How's he helping you? Do you remember that? That's my personal roadhouse, brother. That was a Master P production. while Overeem is fighting, No, this is New Wave. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe it is. Maybe

2:12:11 Yeah, they did a bunch of people. She was killing me one night. Look at the size of that motherfucker back then. Him? You're eating fucking anivar. Athletes you're ever going to see in the heavyweight division He's fucking jackmified here. That's so heavy. Those guys get that big, and they've been playing football all their life. Oh, they're crazy.

2:14:52 He's a freak. squat numbers are ridiculous. Yeah, Canseco was like fucking 4.4. You got to write 40, Jamie. He claimed. Just hit that. Yeah, all of them probably did it. Well, it's not just the size of Alistair, He's going to hang on the outside. He's a human being. was Dos Santos' last fight? One scene, look at Brock Lesnar's face. for throwing knees to the body.

2:18:53 Going back to rehearsal. That's not it. It was that kick. You can see it He was doing nothing Brock is like, fuck this shit. You think so? He wanted it. You know, if he's at Winklej's, one thing about Winkle John's, but it worked with Holmes and Ron. He's just so skillful as a striker. Lost the decision. that fucking mirror, his confidence is out the fuck, you know.

2:22:33 Like, that guy can fight at his very best now, especially now with all of his experience inside the octagon. From what the eye at the house doesn't have a clue of what the fuck you're doing. And for them, for Holly Holmes to be that good at it, that meant that Winkle John and the other guy. You know, just simple shit. And I learned something. I thought that that was what was acceptable.

2:24:53 And he went in and took Dos Anjos out and he won. I prepare for guys mimicking. that the guy does. So I know exactly. sure it is it's got to be in an area where you can't fucking around you can't don't you'll shoot and recreating stuff and drills and all the stuff they were going to work on and what to do in this. I would definitely train with him.

2:26:49 You know, the guy obviously knows what the fuck he's doing. He's on fire right now. Because I'm trying to remember That's right. He's one of the fastest kickers in the sport. And I saw Jose Aldo. And I didn't know what to say. But because of that, I think, those years of running and sprinting and throwing, kicking soccer balls, he just whips those kicks, man.

2:29:21 Soccer and flutes. You like this shit. Yeah. I knew Pele. That's it. That's all i knew about fucking soccer that's all everybody That's it. He swims fast. Has he done any other races, or is he just preparing for the Olympics? He's done a couple times, yeah. Remember when he got in, like, actually actively competing. He had a baby. He's done a couple times, yeah.

2:31:21 He had an amazing Olympic career. narked on him? Should be shot and fucking They take edibles and sometimes even stop at tents and vape. Let me tell you something. You can smoke. and you're breathing. looking at girls asses and the teacher and thinking about shit like if there's somebody Those exercises when you do that type of stuff, yoga stoned, when you're in there, it kills you.

2:34:19 Becky's going to take me to Pasadena. I'm not sure. I want to say it's the Float Lab. inspired by us I just think he'll take who remembers that shit But without a high school diploma. They asked me. And they go, well, ain't nothing going to get processed until we have the paperwork in our hand. Forgot and got sad for a week. So you were thinking this when you were high recently?

2:36:17 All this shit they've heard and it's bullshit. i had nobody to show them through the thing anyway so in my mind i didn't really give a Instead, it was one of those snow years, It wasn't a bad school, It wasn't bad for me. and it's embarrassing when people have conversations and I can't join in. I know you've been telling me. No, I'll listen to World War I.

2:38:44 And he would break it down how Joe Diaz would break it down. No, I quit high school because I was fucking broke, Jack. I loved it, Joe. Going there at seven. Nobody I just got sick one night, and I walked off the property, And they were like we'll fire you. And then like a month later the pints. What was the drinking age back then? Right. When was it? When was the? Find out what age it was we'd get booze delivered. I think when I turned 18 was when the drinking age became 21. Right.

2:41:20 Oh. And then we got this guy on the tab. a shrimp palm sandwich listen you mind stopping over a primo and get me a it's already called Really? So that was like right when I was turning 17, they turned it to 21. Pretty much everybody's drinking at 16 anyway. No. tons of people had New Jersey licenses. Oh my God. Joe Rogan's got Nick Rogan and Mike Rogan, okay, in the family.

2:43:46 forged his ID to get, like, insurance or fucking idea what these savages do now. You just get on a plane. You could tell them John Smith and you could fly as John Smith. And you could give somebody a ticket. You could buy a ticket? Nothing. Ticket didn't have your name on it? Nothing. You didn't have to tell them nothing. You could tell them John Smith, and you could fly as John Smith.

2:44:41 And I would go to a bar and drink and go back and put $10 in quarters, take it out, San Francisco airport has a yoga room. Pissing. He had the foot speed of a fucking 4'3 Conseco. I'm stuck at a terminal, okay? When I get there, I go to the bathroom Now I go to the bathroom again. I never repeated this because it didn't make any sense. So this guy would just go to the airport in the daytime.

2:47:17 They used to have some weird thing they would do. and he's doing gay shit. Listen to me. police identification down on the floor so craig could see it and inform the senator that he was Come through that thing and tap your foot. I mean, I'm not supporting his behavior. Ten days in jail. There was a movie theater, not in Newark or nothing. That was the end of that shit.

2:50:36 to the map. You had Broadway and you had 8th Right, like Linda Lovelace. Right. that actually played three movies on Sunday. I wanted to win. because in those days if you bought Penthouse was dedicated to... And then they tell you don't open it until you He bought a lot of acid. Joe, the 50 yards, broad daylight, cops down the corner, and you could hear as you walked
