the Joe Rogan experience it's interesting that even today there's
different schools of thought like Sean Strickland spars basically every day
whereas Max Hall was at my gym for like three years oh yeah was he it's a wild
boy let him go oh did you the crazier days yeah no he just kind of gets too
involved talking about people I can see that I liked him in the gym I liked him
there he was a great training partner you need at least one guy yeah and your
gym that that does that and goes hard and makes everybody else go hard yeah
when they're going against them so I liked it but other people didn't yeah he
just you know he just was too disrespectful just teammates and stuff
and as the young Sean Strickland yeah no this is well you know I I definitely
see
that and you know you know always rooted for him when he left it you know it
wasn't like I was like I hope that guy you know right now I always rooted for
him I
thought he had a ton of potential I was yelling at him to go up a weight class
because he was always trying to make 170 I'm like dude you need to go 185 you'd
feel a
lot better you you compete just the you'd be fine competing up there but
everybody's always mentally afraid to be against the bigger guys yeah he's a
different fighter at 185 than he was at 170 and 170 you could see he was
compromised just like how I mean he had have cut 25 pounds easy right yeah no
he's
big he's way too big for right 170 but when you saw his fight without a sonya
were you shocked I I only saw parts of that I didn't really think I was
somewhere else I didn't get to see it fucking amazing yeah no I I saw parts of
it and yeah he he looked great he looked fucking amazing the crazy thing is how
good his defense is I thought he would do well against him I didn't think he'd
do
well just standing up with him that I mean I thought on your side it would get
without point him a little bit but I thought Shawn would take him down and beat
the shit out of him if he got on top well that's a lot of people don't realize
Shawn has a very good ground game no very good yeah very good he just doesn't
use
it very often he's black belt in jiu-jitsu good wrestling good takedown
defense you know he's solid everywhere but he just loves to bang right so stay
in the
front you doesn't have like huge power it's probably getting better at putting
it in
better places now but he wasn't like he's not a big knockout guy but he
definitely adds
him up and and really he's by far one of the biggest pressure fighters yeah
that just moves
forward all the time well he's also able to do that because of his defense his
defense is
so hard yeah so underrated and in that Adesanya fight you saw it so clearly he's
really hard to hit so good at moving
just out of distance and then putting more pressure back on you checking those
those calf kicks he's quick
yeah I was I was super impressed with that yeah and it's even more impressive
you know coming back from an accident like
he had to mm-hmm yeah and talks about it it's like my quads all fucked up on
his right leg like his one leg is just like the
quads not even attached yeah which is nuts yeah no it's but again it just shows
what the body can do if you just let it yeah you know if you're just mentally
tough enough to push through something well he changed his style
a little bit because of it you know he stands different than most people stands
very straight up he always has yeah always yeah when I'd spar him I'd have to I
quit aiming for his head I just aim for his chest and it kind of stopped him
and then I could you know follow up if I hit him in the chest I could follow up
and hit him again and then I could you know follow up if I hit him in the chest
I could follow up and hit him again
again but he's hard to hit yeah it's it's impressive and he's the only guy
doing that sort of Philly shell style at a championship level it's like very
interesting seeing him out there he looks different than everybody else yeah he's
he's quick that really helps him not get hit also yeah but it's just also I
think when we're going back to the different schools of thought in terms of sparring
he spars every day it's most of his training is sparring right so when you see
him fight Adesanya in the fifth round
that guy wasn't even breathing heavy I mean he looked like ready to go five
more after that he he's got like just his natural ability is his cardio mmm
among you know he knows how to fight well too but naturally he just has cardio
for days well I gotta think that has a lot to do with constantly sparring so
the sparring thing is not there's not a lot of tension very loose and very
composed and very efficient right
Thank you.
