The Joe Rogan experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
Great to have you in, man.
Great to be here.
How are you feeling?
You must be feeling fantastic.
Many things were successful,
so even if I was a little bit, had a flu, many things...
You had a flu before that fight?
Yeah, for one week, like five days.
Five days before fight week, I was in, how to say that?
Heat, like bodies...
Fever?
Fever, yeah, fever.
So, yeah.
That's crazy.
That was, yeah, that was something what I...
But every time, maybe I'm a little bit glad for that
because I'm every time trying to push my preparation too much
that I'm every time, like, hurt myself or I'm over-trained.
Right.
So that's why I'm maybe just a little bit glad for that.
That's interesting, right?
Like, it's so hard because you want to prepare so hard,
you're so disciplined, so driven,
but you can do yourself a disservice.
You can go too far and then you don't recover enough
and then you go into the fight a little compromised.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, we've seen that many times with fighters
who just get so enthusiastic about their training.
Yeah, because I feel like self-confidence
and still there is something what you can do better, yeah, every day.
And that's my idea of the training, life idea,
to go better every day, 1% better, 1% better.
Even if you can't train, you can sit in a meditation
and visualize how you train, how the body is working.
Sometimes it's the most biggest, like,
the biggest thing what you can do is just rest.
Like you show me the floating.
Yes.
Yeah, you need one of those, man.
Of all the people that I know, you need one.
Sensory deprivation tank, you should get one of those.
Yeah.
Because I know you're into meditation.
I know you spend a lot of time in dark rooms.
That's meditation times 100.
That's right.
Do you monitor your heart rate every day
to see what your recovery is at or you just go by feel?
Feeling.
Feeling.
Feeling, feeling.
I did that in high-attitude training
in all the November in Mexico, Mexico City,
where it's 2,300, 200 meters.
Yeah, 7,700 feet above sea level, I believe.
Yes.
And there I monitored everything,
like take up blood exams before, in,
and after this camp, four weeks camp there.
And man, amazing, amazing.
Well, your endurance was incredible in that fight
because that was such a high-paced fight.
And still, I felt like after that flu,
I felt a little bit down, but...
Well, that's pretty amazing then.
You must have been in insane shape before the flu.
Yeah.
It's that fine line, that balance.
Yeah, yeah.
But yeah, so you went to Mexico City.
Did you know a gym up there?
Did you bring your camp up there?
I was there in UFC Performance Institute there.
Oh.
There's a new one.
Nice.
Man, yeah.
You have everything here in the Performance Institute,
like regeneration, training, coaches,
coaches with the pads.
And so, yeah, I was there for,
especially for,
to work on the things
what I took from the last fight with Pereira
to work on the hands up a little bit,
just a little bit.
A little bit.
But we were talking about it in the broadcast.
your hands down sometimes has a benefit.
There's a real advantage to it
because no one sees
where those punches are coming from.
Yeah.
So for the people that don't know
what I'm talking about.
Not just punches.
Yes.
Movement, movement, head movement.
Head movement was excellent.
Everything.
Your head movement was excellent.
And the feeling,
feeling
with the hands up
is another one
with the hands down.
Yeah.
Because this is your
natural posture.
Right.
Yeah.
So you spend
most of the time
in this.
And it's
it's about just
just a feeling
the space,
feeling the
I can't explain
to another person
like this one
because
when I'm
when I am in
in the flow
like you want to be
in the flow
in the fight
some between
the flow
and uncomfortable
somewhere
somewhere in the center.
So when I
achieved
this attitude
that's why
I don't need
to keep my hands up
because
this for me
means
and for everybody
that means
defending.
I don't need
to defend myself
when I see
when I see everything
when I feel everything
and
but like I
understand
in this preparation
where I tried
where I did
all the camp
hands up
like this
gives you the calm
in a close distance.
In a close distance
it's not so
sometimes
it's not so
smart to
to keep
hands down.
Hands down.
I'm crazy
I'm crazy enough
to go through
to be in the moment
to stress my body
so much
in this situation
to see
every movement
every start
of the movement
of my opponent
that I can
react
before he start
and
the next level
is
to try
to
to
to
to read
the thinking
of the opponent
what he wants to do
before he do that
so
so there is
many levels
of that
so
but sometimes
I can't
explain that
sometimes
like in the
second fight
with Pereira
I was a little bit
punched
in
in the
in the
in the end
of the first round
so I stepped
to the second round
and I
and I said to my
I was too courageous
and keep the hands down
so
so that's why
it happened
well you should have been
more defensive
maybe to recover
yes
yes
one thing you said
after that fight
you said you have to evolve
and
one thing that I saw
in this last fight
with Jamal Hill
was evolution
I really saw it
you really see it
like
the counters
the head movement
and the counters
were brilliant
there's one
that I put on my
Instagram stories
it was so incredible
he threw a punch
you slid slightly
out of the way
landed a straight left
and then the right hook
that dropped him
but it was so dynamic
it was so fast
and precise
I was like
that's a different
Yuri Prochaska
like the
your earlier fights
were always excellent
you always had amazing power
and very unusual movement
very difficult to predict
but
the sharpness
of your counters
was on another level
in this fight
that's what I worked on
yeah
to be not just
connect
to the opponent
and react
what's happened
right now
but
little bit
be
a little bit
before
what will happen
yes
well you're
you're definitely
getting better
which is so fascinating
you know
you had a very
brilliant approach
you waited
until you had reached
a certain level
before you entered
the UFC
you could have been
in the UFC
years earlier
yeah
yeah that's right
that's right
fitness isn't just
about what you do
in the gym
it's also about
your nutrition

the best diet

slash
Joe Rogan
seriously
get on this
and I have to say
thank you to my
coaches
for that
because
we worked
on my style
we are
consulting
like
communicate
about that style
what to make
a better
how to
do that
that's why
I'm keeping
like my two coaches
what I began with
began with
like all the time
with me
because I think
that's
that's the
only thing
you can go
to be a master
with in something
to stay
with
with some people
with some
tight circle
yeah tight circle
in some
and go deeper
you can go
really deep
yeah
yeah so
it's also
I value loyalty
loyalty is very important
and this is
it means a lot
you know
and when people
worked really hard
to get you
to a certain level
what I like
is there's some
coaches that
they recognize
that maybe
there's other
skill sets
they can bring in
so they work
with other people
as well
you know
but always stay
with the people
that brought
as long as the
relationship is good
always stay
with the people
that brought you
to the game
yeah sure
sure
because
in the end
you can
you can change
whoever
but you
you have to
start again
with the same
people
and go
and again
you will go
to the same level
to the same
problems
with these people
because it's not
about them
it's always
about you
to recognize
what's in you
how much tape
do you watch
do you watch
a lot of film
do you watch
videos of fights
I was five days
before the fight
so I just
watched
Spartans
300
yeah
Ongbak
I watched
Ongbak
one
man
that's wild
shit
no wild
shit
but
I was
really
inspired
I was
really
hungry
for
to see
something
because
long time
I didn't
see
some
good
not good
movie
doesn't matter
if it's
like good
or new
but these
old classics
of the fighting
Jean-Claude Van Damme
with kickboxer
and all these
things
oh yeah
that's what
that's what
made
a spark
inside me
to
a true love
for martial arts
because they
in that movies
they live that
really live that
and they have
no other chance
to solve
their problems
just
by martial arts
and something
so that's
that's why
so you got
inspired by movies
yeah
do you watch
a lot of films
of fight footage
like your fights
your opponents fights
yeah
yeah
yeah
but I don't need to
I don't need many times
to study that
I just need to
like see
once
once
I just see
the attitude
like attitude
of the start
of the fight
how he's fighting
his
how to say
his spirit
his mindset
how he's thinking
how is
the start
of moving
of his body
how he's reacting
for
not just
for opponent
for the many
situation
for slipping
and
and
movement
but
everything
like
personal
and studying
the
that guy
his energy
his energy
his vibe
how he's
reacting
how he's reacting
in
in some situation
like
these
eye pokes
and all these things
like some
breaks
in the fight
every time
because
it shows you
how
he
have
under control
himself
all the time
all the time
and this is
something
what
Alex Pereira
I don't know
what
what is
his story
behind
but
he have to
he handled
that
he handled
that
and that's why
he is
how he is
now he's starting
to be more
relaxed
and
I wish him
to
to stay
sharp
well
I think
he's more
relaxed
outside
the fight
but in
the fight
he's always
very calm
very calm
and very
focused
yes
yes
did you watch
your first fight
with him
before you
watched the second
before you
have fought him
the second time
yes
sure
sure
yeah
I studied
him
a lot
but
the second
fight
I
I
I
little push
it
too much
too aggressive
no no no
I mean
like
training
after the fight
I was like
I want Alex
Pera
after
I'm ready
for him
right now
I'm ready
too
but I'm
open for
for whoever
will
UFC
will gave
me like
like
like a next
opponent
to prove
that I am
but I want
a true
challenge
like
I want
a true
challenge
from the
I think
top five
guys
right
the
interesting
thing
about
the
light
heavyweight
division
is
there's
there's
only
about
five
really
exciting
contenders
four or five
really
there's not
a deep
pool
of fighters
that would be
you know
very interesting
to see you fight
that's right
because there is
a
like I said
today
there's a
few
guys
who
really
have the
taste
have the
drive
to
to go
to the
top
I want
to go
to the
top
I want
to take
it
I have
the
I feel
the energy
of the
crown
and I
can
take
it
so
and
that's
that's why
that's why
I'm
I'm
I'm
doing that
that's why
I'm still
talking about
that to be
there
because
I
really feel
that
that I
can
be the
top
and
one thing
what I
needed
is
that I
had to
be
stable
stable
to
not
just
get to
the
top
and
back
and
out
but
to
go
to
the
top
and
know
how
it
is
to
be
there
know
to
keep
all
these
weights
on
the
top
what
there
is
yeah
defending
the
title
is
more
difficult
even
than
getting
the
title
and
then
it's
improving
while
you're
champion
you
know
they
say
that
Daniel
Cormier
always
says
that
every
