JRE MMA Show #153 with Joe Pyfer

Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
What's up, Joe?
What's up, Joe?
So we should say right away, off the bat, because people don't know, you really
did break Francis Ngannou's punch record.
Yeah, so I don't know what the confusion is, you know, I didn't want to...
A lot of people, they doubt it just because he's so big.
So I'm going to post it.
Well, we just sent it to Jamie.
You sent one where you went to 170.
Yeah, 170.
So you got Eddie Hall.
He got 113.
And Francis had gotten 129.
I had already hit four times.
Woo!
170.
Now, the only thing that...
So this is the thing that people don't understand, though, is it's the same
machine.
I think everybody thought it was like one of those punching bags that are down
at the roadblock.
Right.
And, you know, it's aggravating because I pride myself in my power.
I want to hurt you.
You know what I mean?
Like, that's my intention.
I'm trying to...
I mean, we all throw at power, right?
But I feel like I have a little different intention sometimes.
So, you know, I've always prided myself in hitting hard.
I've always felt like I hit harder than everybody.
Now, sure.
I'm sure Francis' punch feels different than mine.
But I got speed.
I got power.
And I walk at, like, 220 when I'm out of camp.
So, I'm not a small guy.
You know what I mean?
I'm 6'2", 220 when I'm hitting that.
And even then, probably there, I was probably late because I was injured.
So, I was probably about 212, 214 when I hit that.
And just to put it up, I'm going to post it whenever I get back home.
And I'm going to post a video.
And I'm going to post a picture also of me hitting higher than that at 181.
I only have the picture.
But Tuco, who's Brendan Allen's coach, was there.
I think someone has kicked it up to, like, 187.
I think that's the newest high kick, which is crazy.
Kick, yeah.
Yeah, that your punch is that close to a kick.
Yeah.
That's pretty nuts.
Now, I get it.
It's a standstill object, right?
Yeah.
I can smash that thing.
Right.
But I've been, uh...
I was trying to see who did it.
Here's Alja and Wonderboy kicking it.
There's someone who just did 189.
I don't know who that is.
Lorenz Larkin.
That's Lorenz Larkin.
Yeah, I think he's got the record now.
Lorenz, who used to fight in the UFC, now...
I guess he's with the PFL now, right?
Because...
I thought he was Bellator.
Oh, yeah, they merged.
Well, Bellator is the PFL now.
Yeah, but Lorenz got 189.
235.
Oh, Jesus.
He got 235?
Wow.
Lorenz can fucking kick hard.
Yeah.
That's a super underrated dude.
I always go to his fight with Neil Magny.
Go watch that fight.
Jesus.
I would love to see Diego Lima.
Oh, yeah.
He's another one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Jose.
There's probably quite a few guys that can kick like that, but Lorenz, like, if
you watch
him, that technique is just perfect.
He's perfect.
The way he switches his hips, the way he turns his body into it is just maximizing
it.
Yeah, I mean, it's really, I mean, some people, it's weird, you know, for me
because a lot
of people think I have natural power and people think I have natural power and
I get annoyed
with it because I've never had anything natural in my life.
You know, everything was difficult, you know, everything was difficult learning
it, learning jujitsu, learning
how to box, you know, everything was hard for me to learn.
So I have a bitter chip on my shoulder when people are like trying to discredit
it with
natural power.
I don't know.
There is a thing though, where there's a, there's like, you could unlock
horsepower in
a human being, but you only have so much when it comes to power.
There's certain people, and I think you've all, we've all seen them.
They just don't hit hard for whatever reason, and they look big, they can look
strong.
And then there's certain guys that for whatever reason, they fucking hit crazy
hard and they're
not that big.
And a lot of it is efficiency and fluidity and the technique and the leverage,
and that's
all learned, right?
But there's like a certain thing to like bone structure and just natural power.
My bone's got to be trashed, Joe, because I'm fucking having two surgeries and
being beat
up.
I just think it's the amount of power that you generate.
I mean, that's probably a lot of it too.
It's probably a corny thing to say, but I was told that I almost generate too
much force
for my bone density to handle.
I don't know how true that is.
I don't know if they were just kind of stroking my ego.
Well, it makes sense.
That's why your hands break.
When people's hands break, that's why they break, because you're literally
generating too
much force for your bone structure.
Yeah.
Dude, when you fought Razak Al-Hassan, you are on, there's like, there's a
thing that
happens with fighters where you see them, you see anxiety, you see first fight,
you see
nerves, you see jitters, you see skills, but it's hard to like see the full
range of them.
And then they start getting comfortable.
And when they start getting comfortable, like the Mirshard fight, you just stomped
him.
But the Razak Al-Hassan fight, like, dude, you are on another level.
Like, that's like, when people talk about a guy in the gym, like, dude, you got
to see this
motherfucker in the gym.
And then seeing that manifest itself inside the octagon, to me, that's one of
my favorite
things to see.
I love watching guys show their potential.
You know, and in that fight, Razak Al-Hassan is a beast.
Yeah, he's a dog.
He's a dangerous dude.
And you just put on a fucking show in that fight.
You looked like you were on a completely different level.
Like, you had gone up several rungs from where you were before.
You know what's crazy about it, though?
The whole process of what's gotten me to that point has been nothing shy of
just, man, if
I'm mentally happy, I'm going to destroy everybody.
But I often struggle mentally, you know?
Like, I, bro, I didn't turn it on.
My coaches were all scared in the back just because they know me so well.
I'm an emotional dude.
I wear my heart on my sleeve.
Like, I say how I feel.
You don't really have to read the room.
You can read my face.
You know what I mean?
You understand where I'm at.
And I'm not shy to say where I'm at.
So that whole week was off.
Sean wasn't in the corner.
He got sick.
I had some issues with a best friend.
And I've known for 12, 13 years he didn't get to come out.
And just everything was, like, off.
I had MRSA on my bicep, on my forearm two weeks before.
Oh, shit.
I was on antibiotics before that.
I split my toes open where they separated, so the bones.
So I, like, I could barely, like, I got all swollen.
Bro, I've never had an easy camp.
And I was having nightmares for the first time of getting knocked the fuck out,
like, all week.
During my weight cut, during training, I had these crazy nerves.
I would get cold sweats.
Like, I thought something was wrong.
And I never had that before, you know?
And I was contemplating, like, man, I'm not going to rush my career.
Maybe this isn't the right move.
But, uh...
Was it the step up in competition?
No, no.
So, this is crazy.
It's going to come off...
Well, it's not crazy, but it comes off as really arrogant.
Like, Abdul was not a step up in competition for me.
He was a step up as far as, you know, power, you know, and people that I fought.
As far as, you know, people that have the ability to knock you out.
Consequences.
Yeah, yeah.
There's consequences for small error.
And, uh...
But, I knew skill for skill.
Dude's not on my level.
I knew Gerald Murchart, Murchart, however you say it.
Whenever I...
Bro, I mean, that dude, to me, without being disrespectful, is...
I don't know how he's been in the UFC.
Um...
The guy I first fought, you know, he's not in the UFC anymore.
But he had eight knockouts.
I'm not...
I've been doing this for 23 years.
I started at four and a half years old.
Um...
I don't want people to think that I'm cocky or arrogant, but I am.
I am cocky.
I'm confident, you know?
Don't you think you kind of have to be?
Yeah, you do have to be.
You're a fucking cage fighter.
It's your protection barrier, too, from people to just openly try to cut you
down.
Because everybody, like, hitting that punching machine, everybody immediately
discredits.
Right.
Says that Dana White just wants to get after Francis Ngannou.
That's why they didn't release the video.
I told you about the Austin fight.
Right.
I was pissed off it didn't get posted.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Well, it's posted now.
Yeah, so, uh, it's posted now, and, you know, it's on a big platform.
But, yeah, man, I mean, Abdul was just somebody you had to be careful with, but
I didn't think
he boxed better than me, and I think DC even says it as I'm walking into the
cage.
And, uh, his best shot was to knock me out, and if he couldn't knock me out, he
wasn't
winning that fight, so...
Well, it's also very evident.
Like, you're one of those guys that's at the top of the 185-pound division in
terms
of, like, physical stature.
You don't get much bigger at 185.
It's like you and guys like Pajeda, which Pajeda doesn't even make sense.
Yeah.
Like, I was always like, how?
How the fuck are you 185?
Man, even when I look at him, yeah, I mean, when I look at him, like, it's so
weird.
We've seen each other so many times.
There's no head nod.
There's no respect.
There's no, like, even him, like, man, I think a lot of guys are overrated in
this
fucking sport.
You think that guy's overrated?
I mean, look, I don't think his...
I think getting hit by him isn't overrated, right?
But he's very stiff, and he's got that off switch.
He's got that off switch.
Well, he definitely does at 85.
Yeah.
Yeah, at 85.
I don't know about 205.
I think that is a big part of the weight cut.
I think his weight cut is borderline dangerous.
Like, I think that a weight cut to 85 could kill you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think he's just so tough that he doesn't.
But I think there's a point of diminishing returns, and certainly with your
chin.
And when Izzy cracked him, obviously, Izzy hit him perfect.
It was pinpoint, and then rocked him with the second shot.
But the way he went out, I was like...
It's gone.
Yeah.
It's almost like, you know, I'm not going to say any names, but, you know,
there's
a guy that just recently lost, who I like.
And it's like, man, like, when you've had that off button shut off to the point
where
you're frozen, it's not like you got TKO'd.
It's off.
Yes.
There's a thing that happens to guys when they've taken too many shots.
Yeah.
You can see it.
Yeah.
I've never been laid out.
Last time I was ever dropped, I was 18 years old.
I got dropped by a guy that used to be in the UFC for a brief moment.
It was Tim Williams.
He fought your boy, Eric Anders, who I like.
He's cool.
But, yeah, no, I've never had the lights, like, shut off or anything.
So, thankful for that.
But I pride myself on my defense, too.
You know what I mean?
I don't...
It's critical.
I mean, a strong defensive base is so important when you know how to move well.
I was just watching this documentary that the UFC put on about Anderson Silva.
And it's not that I forgot how good Anderson Silva was.
Smooth.
Super smooth.
Super fluent.
Everything, man.
When he was in his prime, his fucking defense, too, was so perfect.
He was so hard to hit clean.
His range, man.
You know, when you're taller, these guys underestimate range.
And, you know, everybody wants to brawl, but people don't understand range.
You know, you should be able to slide back and it just grazes your beard.
You know, like, so...
Range is everything.
And also, the mechanical advantage of that long frame when Anderson would throw
that torque
on guys, you know.
And when he was in his prime, like, you watched, like, the Rich Franklin fights
and the Chris
Lieben fight.
And, like, that fucking dude was special, man.
Now, let me ask you, because I'm a huge fan of the old school days, more so
than the new
school.
I just think it was more raw and just, like, I li
