JRE MMA Show #164 with Israel Adesanya

Joe Rogan podcast check it out the Joe Rogan experience trained by day Joe Rogan
podcast by
night all day what's up what's up what's up good to see you my friend see what
is the chain what
does that what does that stand for engage this is uh my fight wear brand Ash
Bell Castro started
this um he was one of the I'll say this he was um one of the only guys who fuck
with me before I
really like blew up so when I was fighting in China and I lost to Alex they
stopped giving me
fights and I had I think at the time I was the highest paid foreign fighter in
China at the time
probably not now anymore but then they stopped giving me fights and I was like
look I have seven
more fights on my contract can I at least just get three I just need three
because money was running
out you know the money I had saved up and then yeah I was down to my last one
day like five hundred
dollars and Eugene was holding pads for me because see something was up and I
just said bro I'm I'm
about to be broke this and that right right right right he said don't worry
just leave it with me
I get home I think I was on the toilet and he just goes check your bank account
and I'm sitting there
just like start crying and I call him he's like no don't thank me thank Ash who
started engage and I
call Ash I'm taking a shit and I'm just like thank you like Odyssey just in
tears because you know I
mean I've been there like nothing and had everything and nothing again so for
me yeah he's always been a
guy that's been in my corner and me and Alex Volkanovski now we you know we've
helped raise the brand so we
own part of the company so yeah I like to rep the set oh that's cool nice nice
and I think we engage
also was last final three when they had the whole Reebok fiasco it was a Venom
engage and someone else I
can't remember who else so we didn't get the the gig but it would have been
nice though oh the UFC
gig yeah engage fight kits for the fighters but now it's Venom fight kits yeah
the whole fight kit
thing is weird I really preferred it when fighters could have sponsors condom
depo on the back of
your shorts I don't like that I mean they should probably have some discretion
I did like it though
and I do like the fact now like the last fight I had a hunter hit me up way
before any gold gloves
or anything says Izzy we're gonna do this for certain fighters what design
would you like on your shorts
and I was like bet and I hit up Curtis who works with engage does a lot of the
designs and I
taught him what I wanted and then he just did some custom stuff and I sent a
few to hunter and then
boom I got my shorts the lightning and I quite like that I like expression that's
one thing I do miss
about boxing or kickboxing is the expression on the mong Kong man's the shorts
like Jonathan
Haggerty like he has cool shorts with golden like bows on the side yeah I like
that it's cool I do too
yeah it's I don't like everybody has to wear the same shit I think maybe the
UFC at the time they
wanted to be taken seriously in a sense so we had to like professional sports
but nah I think we're
all different independent contractors and we have different styles so I'm glad
now they've brought
out for certain fighters like O'Malley in his pink shorts Bryce Mitchell's camo
shorts yeah let us express
ourselves I like that but I wish fighters had the ability to advertise oh big
time yeah that's that's big
sponsors on your shorts is a lot of money like shot was making more money from
the sponsors than he was
from his fighters yeah I agree and there's a way to bring it back I'm sure but
even now because they've
got some you get you get some kickbacks but it's better if you can just plastic
condom depot and
get a hundred grand on the back of your shorts how much does condom depot pay
people I don't even know but I
used to think it was funny and the fact it was on the on the on the back of the
shorts I'm like that's
yeah placement advertising I just feel like you know if they they didn't like
some because it didn't
represent the sport like condom depot like then just fucking you know have a
list of ones that you agree to
that's actually a good idea like say
approve sponsors okay yeah so maybe they go through a check first right you
want to maybe advertise on the fighter shorts you have to go through this
rigorous check what's your company
you know what do you guys sell right right or write or write and then yeah
plastered on the shorts get
some money because I do like it when boxers wear cool shorts you know they wear
whatever the fuck
they want like yeah I love the one Melvin Manhofer wear those uh yeah yeah he
was a badass I like tassels
though that's me when my shorts I always like tassels because when you kick
yeah the shimmer the way they
look and it just yeah makes for cool picks yeah there's a that mean that's just
one of the things about
the ufc just they want everything to be uniform organized but again like now at
the
for certain fighters they're changing it which is good but hopefully that trickles
down
I don't feel like anybody should be wearing shorts and grappling I feel like
the the temptation for
yeah tights temptation for grabbing is just too much yeah and it does happen
yeah I've seen it
it's happened to me even with uh what's his name brunson in the brunson he
grabbed my tights
and I was like yo that's two times you've done it now so it is tempting but I
think
tights would be the best way to fight but again some guys like have cool shorts
and if the if
if that's their style that's their style because some people I guess maybe
their body type maybe
they got no ass they don't want to be I got something back there but like I don't
know a
guy like I won't drop no names but like you know wearing tights you look like a
fucking right a stick
or something yeah yeah you look a little flat yeah yeah that's what it is
though yeah it is what it
is I mean there's a lot of room for expression it's it's interesting to watch
like all the different
styles that people promote themselves as well you know like there's so many
different ways now and
then there's guys like Alex who you know he doesn't even speak english and he's
risen to the top just
based on performance but even the fact that he doesn't speak english that's
also his superpower
just sharma right what do you think about that fight this weekend i can't wait
i just did the
breakdown for it we're about to drop it on youtube now i am picking in this
fight alex
because i just think the momentum behind him right now is so big he's just got
momentum look i was the
most active champion in ufc history i think lex next to alex volkanovski as
well he was right up there
with me or if not more than me i think alex now is on his way to being the most
active champ in ufc
history because he's already saved this year i think two or three cards alone
he's like stepped in be
like yeah sharma just does it jumps and he fights up he fights injured
apparently his knee was really
up in the first year he pro hoska fight oh wow you know when he stopped yuri
and then he said he did like
a forward roll off the year he said he did that because he didn't trust
standing on his right knee
oh wow momentum yeah his knee was up so he didn't like it was up in training
camp
and so when he stepped off of him he just decided to roll forward instead of
putting weight on his
right knee that's smart that's some parkour but again it's that's that's what
you have to do you
look when you get in the ufc this is what i did as well he did it the the right
way fight as much as
possible fight as much as possible so you can be in people's faces so they can
see that guy just fought
that guy just fought oh i just saw him fight last month and you fight as much
as you can and you get
that momentum behind you and then you become champion you're that guy and then
again you just that
momentum constantly you're in people's faces you're getting posted here here
and that's how you build
the stock up so i've done that and he's doing it the right way as well and i
think if he keeps going
but i hope he retires never getting defeated by anyone ever again just you hey
and the way you
did it too oh my god that was one of the greatest celebrations of all time it
just look it's it's
it's the story behind it no matter what it's just the history because david
even mentioned to me my
brother said like you know you're the only one that can actually stand with
that guy like no one's
lasted more than two rounds or even around with him and i thought about it
during the breakdown like
yeah you're right and it's because i knew him i've fought that guy so many
times and regardless of
what happened i lost three times and i finally won one it was just the fact
that i knew i could beat him
every time i fought him i was just like i was i was beating him i thought you
won the first one
i felt so too but then that's you know the chinese judges kickboxing fight they
gave it to him and then
the second fight in brazil under the same company that he gets me but again i
was besting him had
him on skates he was fucking and then he bro his spirit you know what jerry
said about the whole juju
thing like that that's real that's real so the last time i fought him in miami
look he beats me
that's why i hate when people say oh is he scared he's scared it's like bro i
ain't scared of
shit the guy beat me in the biggest uh arena on the planet madison square
garden same way as the
last time he beat me in brazil in his hometown i was beating his ass had him
hurt in the end of the
first round all that took him down and then he gets me in the last round it's
his spirit his whatever
like ancestors or his people that are praying for him because i got prayer
warriors as well my mom and
dad be fasting and they have people like in the spirit praying for me but like
the way he carries
himself something about him just he knows how to recover well so i just knew i
could get him i could
get him and then after that he knocks me out in the biggest arena in the world
and i'm just like
let's do that shit again dana because i just knew i was like i can get him and
then that camp
i was so i went to a different place and that was the one i kind of mentioned i'd
like microdosed
a little bit or macrodosed a lot and like i always say this the shower is the
most interesting
place on the planet i feel because you have the element of water running over
your body
stripped naked in your bare essentials you kind of have this if it's a white
shower yet like a void
white space i can create a lot in there i can make a lot of things happen and
yeah one time after one
of my showers i just wrote this thing on my mirror because i just had this premonition
like this is
where i get it done like there's no way you could beat me one time you could
beat me two times you might
beat me three times but i was like nah this guy's not gonna beat me this time
and i just knew i had
to get this done and the way it happened as well because first round i think i
won and second round
i was winning but then that leg kick bro you know what it is you look at his
foot you look at this bit
of his foot it's like a hammer you know like a like the like the back of a
hammer or hammer like a ball
paint it is because that's what he kicks you with as well so he doesn't have to
excuse me he doesn't
have to turn the hip over right and then when he hits you with that even
because he's bone density
long legs and he hits you with that you just feel it like oh that's bad and it's
it's a different
feeling because i've been kicked by kickboxes all my life on the thigh on the
calf as well but when
he hits you with that bit it's just the surface area so small but it travels
and transfers through
your whole calf and you're like oh i can't put weight on this it's so
interesting too how he keeps
his body completely square and he doesn't even really turn the hips yeah that's
and so it's so sneaky he
doesn't have to because he's got so much bone density so muc
