Joe Rogan podcast check it out. The Joe Rogan experience. Train by day, Joe Rogan
podcast by night, all day.
All right, what's happening brother? Thanks for having us. My pleasure. So
Jamie, what were you
just saying? I stopped you because it sounds so crazy. Trump said there's going
to be eight to
nine title fights at the White House UFC event and that they're, I guess, in
quotes, withholding.
Okay, first of all, there's only eight weight classes. So how's there going to
be nine title
fights? Maybe a BMF fight. Maybe add a BMF. Maybe have all of them in BMF. I
guess, but that's
kind of a crazy thing. We're going to have 20 title fights. All the title
fights it's ever
been. Did he say any matchups? No, he didn't say who. He just said they're
going to, I'll
see if there's even like a tweet about it, but I just thought I'm talking about
it. It was
like a, I don't know, a press conference or something. Well, if they don't do
John Jones
at the White House, I think it'd be a travesty. For sure. So they need to do
that. They have
to. Come on. Dana's like, you can't count on them. You can't fucking count on
them. Come
on. Stop. When he wants to, he's going to make it happen. At the White House.
Come on.
John Jones versus, let's see. What does it say here? Donald Trump predicts
eight or nine
championship fights. Okay. It would literally have to be every weight class
fighting for
the title, which would be nuts. Everyone's a championship fight. Everyone's a
legendary
type of fighter. Yeah. He's actually holding back fights right now for six
months. So he
can do it in the 15th of June. Trump continued, seemingly meaning 14th of June.
Yeah. Arena's
going to be 5,000 or 6,000 seats right in the front door of the White House.
100,000 people
in the back where they're putting up eight or 10 very big screens. What kind of
fucking security
are they going to have for this?
It's got to be insane.
Yeah. Are you trying to get on this? I mean, not really. Not really? No. I can't
imagine,
like you said, the security, the behind the scenes, how much stuff's really
going to happen.
I'm just like, uh. A lot of weird pressure too. Because it's like all the
security and
the protocols, all that extra shit in your mind before you have to go out there
and fight.
Yeah. It just seems like a lot, like a lot more than what it needs to be. I'm
sure it's
going to be cool to watch, you know, kind of like, what was the, uh, the sphere?
Yeah.
Yeah. Kind of cool to watch like that, but.
Also, you're fighting outside.
Yes. That's what I, like, what are they going to do? Put a roof over it? Like,
what happens
if it rains?
What if it's hot? What if it's hot and muggy? That's going to affect people.
Yeah. I've watched them do outside fights in Louisiana. Oh, man.
Oh, God. Louisiana is the, you can cut that air.
They're, you got to see everyone slipping and sliding. It's so humid.
Oh, that's terrible. Did you ever see that King of the Cage fight that they did
where it
was raining? I've seen the highlight of it, but I've never even watched the
whole fight.
Yeah, it was called King of the Cage Wet and Wild, and it rained out. This was
in the day
when we used to have to put on fights at Indian casinos. I'm pretty sure Eddie
Bravo was doing
the commentary back then. And, um, they, it rained out. And so they were like,
what do you guys
want to do? And, uh, everybody's like, well, we want to get paid. So I guess we
have to fight.
So they fought in the fucking rain. I mean, it was crazy because the-
How do you do that?
I don't remember what the canvas was made out of. It might've been slick. It
might've been like a
vinyl can- it might not have been like a canvas, like the UFC's canvas, which
is actual canvas.
It might've been like a jujitsu mat type situation.
That's what it was in Louisiana with the humid. So I can't imagine the rain.
The rain's got to be crazy.
It was pouring. It was pouring down on people. See if you can find some
highlights of King of the Cage
Wet and Wild.
It's got to be worse than blood on the canvas, or blood on the vinyl.
Right. It has to be. It has to be the worst.
It just doesn't stop.
How bad are those fucking logos? Do the logos get problematic when they get wet?
On the canvas?
In the middle? Yeah, in the middle of the octagon?
I don't-
Like, here it is. Yeah, look at that. Look at that. That is like, that looks,
it's hard to tell
what it actually is, but it looks like, like vinyl.
Got rubber shoes on, maybe.
Yeah, these guys are fighting with shoes on, which helps a little.
You see, this is back when there was like zero rules.
Your man's in a poncho.
My man's in a poncho. That's hilarious.
Look at these. Oh, these guys are barefoot. Look at these guys sliding around.
This is so crazy. They throw punches and slip it. This is like total, like,
like, winos.
In a parking lot of a liquor store.
Imagine everyone didn't know it was raining.
Man, you got rocked like 30 times. No, bro. I didn't get rocked. It was wet.
Right. How do you judge? Like, what shots do damage? This is like, so silly.
Oh, look, they got a guy come out here with a thing to slide the water off the
side.
Yeah, that's not helping. This is so crazy. They're doing this. Look at the
fighters are helping.
The fighters are moving towels around. That is so ridiculous.
You get an extra 30 seconds break if you wipe off the canvas.
Yeah, right? That's funny. That's funny. Yeah.
So who knows what's going to happen? I guess they'll probably have to have some
sort of a roof over it.
But what if it's like 98 degrees outside?
It's going to be crazy. It's June in Baltimore or in Maryland, rather. And, you
know, D.C.
Yeah. Whatever that is. It's like D.C. It's not even a state. D.C. gets hot. It
gets hot in the summer.
It's going to be crazy. I always wonder, like, how much behind the scenes work
goes into, like, for the sphere, for example, because obviously they have
everything else down to a science.
Maybe redo that. That's going to be crazy.
Abu Dhabi. That's right. We did a live one outdoor in Abu Dhabi. I remember
that. That was when BJ fought Frankie Edgar.
Wow. Yeah. And Anderson. Oh, God.
Damian Maia. Damian Maia. That's right. That's right. Oh, that's right. That
was that was like Damian Anderson and Damian had real beef.
And so Anderson was, like, yelling at him in the first round, trying to kill
him in the first round. And then he kind of ran out of gas.
And so he just kind of coasted for the remainder of the fight. And Dana was
really pissed because he just coasted and won a decision.
Like, Enrique, just put that back out there.
I guess. But that wasn't good, dude. By the way, in Abu Dhabi, they had these
bugs that were flying around the size of small birds.
It was it was crazy. I was like, this is because, you know, you're in the
desert.
Yeah, it's very weird. Very weird having an outdoor fight in the desert.
It's like mosquitoes in Louisiana, man. They come out of them swamp water. And
I don't know what they're doing, but they're huge.
Well, back in the day, they used to have fights like that in Vegas. They used
to have boxing matches outside.
Caesar's Palace used to have them outside. Yeah.
See if you can find some of those. I know. I want to think like they had some
good fights outside, like some world championship fights that were outside
Caesar's Palace.
I think it'd be cool to say you did, but I don't think I want to do it at this
level.
If something does go wrong.
No, you're too close. You're too close.
Brandon Allen, you're knocking at the door, dude. You're right there.
You're right there.
It's crazy. I just saw Shemayev made a post today saying that he's only going
to do one more at 85 and then he's going up.
What?
Yeah, my wife sent it to me.
He's going to go to 205?
That's what he said.
That's crazy.
She translated it for me. It was in Portuguese.
Oh, wow. Look at this. That's Caesar's Palace.
Dang.
Yeah, that's crazy.
I never knew that. Never.
Yeah.
Wow.
They had big fights there, too.
Look at how big that is. Oh, my God. That's so crazy.
But again, Vegas outside. It must be so hot.
It has to be. That dry heat is something.
That's crazy. Imagine being all the way in the back of that thing.
You ain't seeing nothing. They don't got no screen up for the TV or nothing.
Who was that right there? Who was that?
Oh, Tommy Hearns fought there.
Roberto Durant.
Tommy Hearns and Roberto Durant was outside?
Dang.
That's crazy.
In 1984. Wow.
That's way before my time.
Yeah, way before.
I guess they probably didn't even have an arena back then that could keep those
guys in it.
I wonder when they started putting arenas in Vegas.
That's a good question.
It probably started for those big boxing matches.
Ask Perplexity.
Yeah, Ask Perplexity, our sponsor.
When did they start putting an arena in Vegas?
I'm going to say 90.
Because I think Vegas in the beginning was just all about gambling.
And if there was a show, it was at a showroom in Vegas.
Like, you know, if you went to see Sinatra or something like that, it was
probably just a couple thousand people.
It probably wasn't that big.
It's crazy to see how Vegas is growing.
Like, even before my time, I see pictures.
But even since, like, I fought amateur worlds in Vegas, I wasn't even old
enough to go in the casino.
So they had to, like, walk me around in the Flamingo, I believe.
Oh, that's crazy.
You couldn't go in the casino?
I couldn't do nothing.
If I walked on the floor, they were on me.
I'm like, bro, I don't...
How old were you?
18.
Oh, wow.
17, 18?
No, 18, yeah.
18, about 10, 19.
And, man, they were on me.
I'm talking about, like, they must have had a watch on me.
I stepped on the floor just to go across to get, like, to the drink machine.
Well, there was probably a big concern that if you have underage competitors
and that they're wandering around the casino, they could lose their license.
Yeah, because we stayed at the Link.
It was brand new at the time.
And then we walked across to Flamingo.
We fought there every time until the finals.
The finals was in the UFC Expo in the middle of the Expo, which was cool
because they had, like, the Hall of Fame ceremony going on.
You were there.
I've seen you.
Yeah, yeah.
So it was cool.
But, yeah, it's crazy just to see it from there until now, like, how much it's
growing and changed.
Wow.
It's pretty crazy.
When did you first start training?
How old were you?
13.
And what did you start with?
Jiu-Jitsu.
I didn't even, like, really mean to, to be honest.
Like, I was playing football.
I love football.
And my brother came home because he switched schools, and his friend was like,
hey, you want to do Jiu-Jitsu?
And we were watching, you know, UFC on the weekends.
That was, like, Randy Couture, Chuck Liddell Trilogy.
Yeah.
All those guys.
So we watched them on the weekends.
And he asked.
So we went there and looked.
And I was still playing football.
It was football season.
And my dad was like, you want to try it?
I was like, I watched the class.
And I was like, Dad, I want to do it.
And he's like, okay, we'll go use the trial gi.
I was like, Dad, I don't want to borrow a gi.
Can you buy me one?
My parents didn't have much money.
My dad was just starting to do okay for himself at that point.
He's like, if I buy you this gi, I promise you for the rest of the year, you're
coming three times a week at least.
I was like, yes, sir.
So I started and never looked back.
A couple months later, my brother and my dad joined me.
And we did it all together for a little while.
Then my brother found girls.
And he went his way.
So, yeah, it's been a long road.
That's derailed a lot of young prospects.
It definitely got him.
It definitely got him, man.
That life took him elsewhere.
And I don't know.
Luckily, I stayed.
He would have been better than me, though.
He was a lot tougher.
Yeah, but is he the older brother?
It's usually the younger brother that winds up being the real good fighter.
Yeah, he beat me up a lot.
That's the thing.
That's the thing.
