- The Joe Rogan experience.
- But why would you stop if you're healthy?
- That's a good point, I mean.
- I mean, I would want you to stop
if I see performance slipping.
- Yeah.
- There's something about, you know,
when you watch fights, as much as I watch fights,
and you've seen certain guys for as long as I see,
I kind of have like, it's almost like I know what they do.
So I see them, and I have like a mold that I can put them in.
So like, when I see guys moving different,
and I see guys slowing down,
and I see guys throwing one, two,
and then not reacting on the counter shot,
and not throwing the counter kicks,
is his legs gone, is his knees fucked, why is he moving?
I start to see it.
And you just, they look kind of the same, like the same guy,
but in my mind, in the mold, these things don't,
they don't fit anymore.
So I go, okay, there's been a change.
- What about Izzy's last fight?
Because I don't think he's necessarily,
he looked like that last fight,
he looked like he was stuck in the mud.
- Yeah.
- But I don't know if he's necessarily going on a hill.
- We talked about that last night.
We talked about that last night.
That might've been an issue.
There could be multiple issues.
It could be just a weird physical thing.
Maybe he just woke up and he just didn't feel good,
which does happen.
- Yeah.
- I mean, it would suck a fat dick
if that happened on a world title fight
against a guy who's been talking mad shit about you,
calling you a slut for China.
- Oh my God.
- But, but it can happen to people where you're just flat.
- Yeah.
- I'd be curious to see him come back.
I know.
- Also, before we say any of that,
Sean Strickland looks so fucking good.
I don't know if that was Izzy being flat.
It might be that he underestimated him.
- Yeah.
- Chris Curtis says like all the time people come in,
good ass kickboxers come in and Sean Strickland
just frustrates them, pressures them so much,
doesn't let off the gas pedal,
defends all their hard shots and keeps pressuring them.
He says he makes a lot of guys look bad like that.
- That's sweet.
Dude, I think he's also got that front kick to the body
off the left leg that people aren't talking about.
Like that was so important, it was so important
because he's standing like this straight up
and you don't know when it's coming
and every now and then he's stabbing you in the gut.
And he doesn't throw a lot of kicks,
but he throws a very effective left front kick
and his fucking checks are on the money.
- Yeah, you could tell Izzy like you,
you could almost hear it even on the TV,
like you'd land those stabbing kicks.
- And that motherfucker spars like that so often
that he's composed.
- It's just another day.
- It's another day, he doesn't get tired.
- In the fifth fucking round.
He, like I was watching his stomach in between rounds,
flat, just standing there drinking water flat,
like 50, 60 beats a minute.
I'm like, this is crazy.
This guy's calm and relaxed in the fifth fucking round
of his first world title fight
against one of the greatest of all time.
A guy who just dominated and had that incredible speech.
- Yeah.
- You know, one time.
I want you to feel this one time in your life.
- That was probably the coolest moment for me ever.
- That was crazy.
- When he knocked out Pyro.
- Yeah.
- Oh, it was crazy.
- The arrows, come on.
- Oh God.
- Greatest celebration.
- Fired up.
- Greatest celebration of all time.
- Yeah, that was good.
That was fucking good.
- You made me want to cry for him, like God.
- Did you see DC posted how many UFC's he headlined?
And it was fucking insane within like five, six years.
- Maybe that had a factor too.
- For sure.
- Maybe it's just an overload factor.
Maybe he takes six months off, gets recharged.
- Well, I was talking to UFC recently and we just bullshit.
And they're like, Izzy's constantly, same with Volkanovski asking,
let me fight, let me fight, let me fight, let me fight.
I asked him, I said, do you think he's going to want to chill
for a little bit?
And they're like, fuck no, fuck no.
I could call him tomorrow and say, hey, you want to fight on MSG?
And he'd say, yes, please.
- Like how much is his five round training camps changing
after the eighth one?
- Yeah, do you still fucking do what you did in the first one?
- They go hard over there at City Kickboxing.
- Fuck.
- That is an amazing gym.
- Yeah, Eugene seems like a cool motherfucker.
- Eugene Barrowman is the fucking man.
- He's gotta be up there with the greatest.
- He's the fucking man.
And he's so calm and composed and rational.
The way he gives corner advice, the way he talks,
even in the post-fight press conference
when he talked about it, you know?
- It's like, he's so composed.
