Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
Great, man.
Thank you, sir.
Looking good.
War time.
King of Miami, what's up?
What's up, my brother?
Good to see you, man.
Always a fucking pleasure.
Always a pleasure to see you too, man.
Bro, I've been a fan of yours since back in the day.
Strike four season.
Bodog.
Bodog.
Snap.
Yeah.
Saw you fight Eve Edwards on Bodog.
Yes, I did.
Damn, this dude's fucking dangerous.
Yes, I did, man.
Yeah, you're still in the game, man.
It's beautiful to see, you know?
Crafty veterans.
Yeah, man.
I attribute a lot to God with the gifts that I was born and also the training
that I do.
I never get too far away from the training.
And another thing is that I've kept it natural for the most part.
I've seen a lot of guys come in four or five years.
They do a little bit of the enhancements and cheating and then tear this, break
that, so these
guys ain't around no more.
I just feel like I couldn't afford it when I was coming up into that stuff, so
I just never
did it, you know?
So I've always kept my body more or less healthy.
I've had injuries that are horrible, obviously, in combat sports, but I've
always just been
able to heal through them.
And one thing I've always believed in for the sport, for anybody listening,
wanting to
get into the sport and have longevity, is as long as you know that every day
you can learn
something new from whoever it may be, you'll always be going forward.
You know, the moment you think you know it all, that's it, bro.
You fucked up, you know?
So I've always had that mentality since I was young, and I still have it to
this day.
You know, a white belt could teach me something or like a setup or something.
Not necessarily maybe the greatest technique, but just a different way to do a
technique,
and I might be able to pull it off, so I've always stuck firm to that
commitment, you know?
Yeah, for sure.
That's very important, to have that beginner's mentality.
You know, what is the worst injury you've ever had?
Like, pain-wise, I poke for all of that.
I shot like a high crotch, and the guy's elbow was like resting on his hip, and
he just
like locked out, and it went right into my thumb.
And his thumb went right into my eye, and I was throwing up immediately.
Like, 10 seconds after, I started throwing up, and I couldn't.
I was doing, like, the Harlem shake.
I couldn't control my body.
I was just shaking and throwing up.
It was so much pain.
After that, I had to wear an eye patch for about, like, five weeks because I
had double
vision.
So I would, like, look at you and see, like, two, three of you, and that would
last it
for, like, five weeks.
So I was supposed to have surgery on it, and they scheduled me for surgery.
I came back in, and the doctor was like, hey, man, maybe you don't need surgery.
You did amazing healing.
And, like, sweating's gone down a little bit.
You kind of don't need the surgery.
So I was like, oh, let me not get the surgery.
And I wore the eye patch for five weeks.
That was the most painful injury of my life.
The other ones have just been, like, long-lasting injuries.
Like, my hand is all fucking wrecked, you know?
My back's pretty messed up, but I get through it, you know?
Cold plunge, sun, a lot of stretching, things like that.
Like, I could work through it, but the eye and the hand have been the worst,
probably.
Did you break the hand?
No, but I've torn, like, numerous ligaments and tendons on the hand, you know?
That's why my fingers look like they're throwing up gang signs and all cooking
and stuff, you
know?
But, yeah, that's been, like, one of the more lagging ones.
And the knees and stuff, you know how sporty you're pulling on your joints, meniscus
tear
here, ACL there.
But those, I've been able to rehab and work through them.
They suck, like, when I'm running on, like, on a cold day.
But it's nothing that I can't work through.
The hand is, like, sometimes I've got to just give it a pause.
Like, a week I can't throw my right hand.
I've just got to use my left and stuff like that.
I remember when you got a meniscus injury, and I was worried about that.
But you just rehabbed it?
Just rehabbed, man.
I don't really like surgery, you know?
And I've talked to a lot of other athletes that did do, like, the meniscus
repair, and
then it tore again, and then it went on for, like, six months.
I was like, nah, it's not going to be me.
So I've always focused on, like, rehab.
Get whoever's the best rehab person around at that time that I could find for
that particular
injury, and just get to work.
And if after some time I'm not seeing any gains, then maybe I'll try some other
stuff.
And there's so many advances in the medical field, not like the stem.
So that's helped me out tremendously with my knees, giving me a full range of
motion to
be able to, like, squat all the way down.
I was having trouble, like, breaking parallel.
Once I'd have a little bit of weight on my back, I'd just feel crazy tension on
my knees
since the stem.
So I got, like, a full range of motion back on my knees, you know?
That's beautiful.
The hand as well.
Where did you go to get the stem cells?
The UFC sent me up for my hand.
I went to California, and it was freaking amazing.
It was right after the Nate Diaz fight.
Both my hands were jacked.
And on one of the blows that I hit Nate with, I hit him in the top of the head,
and you can
see it on the video.
My hand folds.
It just kind of had, like, shitty technique for that one punch.
And I couldn't even wipe my ass.
I swear to you, bro.
The pain that I had, it was just, I couldn't bend it in like that.
I did the stem cells.
Three weeks later, I was like, holy smokes, this is insane.
And in my knees and hands, I did it down in Colombia at BioAccelerator.
That was freaking a great time, too.
That's the way to go.
When you go to those other countries, whether it's Panama or Colombia, or they
do it in Tijuana
now, too.
It's like, they can do shit that you can't do in America.
They just load you up.
You get the full spectrum over there.
Yeah, and it just fucking heals everything.
It's incredible.
It's crazy.
And it's great for stuff that you don't even know is wrong.
Yeah.
It's great for just overall longevity and body healing.
I've heard they, I haven't done them because you know how you saw it is with us,
but I've
heard about the IV stem cells as well that are freaking great for you as well.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, it's incredible.
It sucks that, you know, the IV thing is an issue.
But, you know, it's, I mean, you don't cut a ton of weight.
I mean, you used to fight at 55 and at 70.
Yeah, at 55, I was a ton of weight, a ton of water weight because my body fat,
I lived
a different life.
They're a very strict diet for like, I had to, once I turned like 25, 26, I had
to have
like proper notice, like nine weeks notice to get myself in shape, to come in
and fight
week at like 174 to drop down to 156 and right around like 172, 173, I was 5%
body fat
already.
So, it was, it was just straight water and it was fucking torturous.
And then, um, USADA, when I decided to move up, USADA came in the game and outlawed
the IVs for us, right?
So, I was like, there's no way I can make 155 and that's when I made my move to
70.
But, it's been phenomenal for you at 70.
I think you're better at 70.
I really feel because you're just stronger, healthier.
I didn't have the pop, um, at 155 after I turned 26, 27, which usually a man
loses his
strength and power at the end of his career, you know, and it was like a month
before the
fight, I'd be hurting people in sparring.
As I got nearer to the fight, I just, I didn't have that electricity, that pop,
pop, you know?
Right.
So, I really started to like, man, fuck, you know, it's, uh, it's something I'm
going to
have to do and it was in the back of my mind.
But, I would always work out with 70 pounders and, um, like 45 pounders.
At American Top Team, we had a lot of standouts at 155.
So, I would work out with them as well.
But, I was like, we might have to cross paths.
So, I, I didn't make it like my main staple to work out with those guys.
So, I knew that there was a strength level difference at me at 170, but I knew
I could
hurt those guys when I'd touch them, you know, every time.
So, I, I knew if I could work on my strength gains and get a little size, I'd
be all right
at 70.
Oh, well, look at the Darren Till knockout.
Yes, sir.
That was fucking phenomenal.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Yeah, I mean, I, I wonder how many fighters are cutting their career short by
dehydrating
the shit out of themselves.
It's, it's rough.
You know, when you're young, you get away with it.
Always.
Your body, you could get run over by a truck and you wake up the next day, but
there comes
a point where you kind of just lose that, you know?
And I don't care how young you are, your, your chin, once you cut over like 12,
13,
14 pounds of water, your chin and legs take a massive hit, I feel.
Yeah, that's why I'm amazed.
Reflexes too.
Pajera, who's, uh, walks around like 40 pounds heavier than 185.
I mean, he's fucking huge.
Yeah.
But usually the big boys also could have more, more water to, to release, you
know, the tool
fibers, the 85ers, the heavyweights.
But yeah, that guy's massive.
I've seen pictures of him off season.
I'm like, holy smokes.
He looks like a fucking small heavyweight at times.
When he gets into the octagon at 185, you can't believe he ever weighed 185.
Yeah.
He's so fucking big.
It's a giant advantage, but I wonder how long he could do that.
He's like 34 now.
You know, I wonder, I wonder how long his body's going to allow him to dehydrate
the shit out
of himself like that.
Yeah, it catches up, I think, man.
Yeah.
Well, he's already talked about going to 205.
Nice.
So, you got a big fight coming up.
You're mid-camp.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Thanks for coming down, man.
Hell yeah, bro.
So, Gilbert, that's a good fight.
It's a great fight, man.
I think wrestling is not that good.
So, I know I could negate him on the wrestling takedowns and just keep his
stand-up.
And stand-up, he makes a lot of mistakes constantly.
I feel, you know, just looking at it from a striker's point of view, I feel he's
like tailor-made
for me to give him a fucking left hook to the jaw and end his night, you know?
Yeah.
Well, it's an exciting fight.
And Gilbert's a fucking dangerous man.
And it's the co-main event in Miami.
It's going to be wild.
20 years I ain't been in Miami.
Woo!
That's going to be wild.
Just the moment when you get into that fucking octagon, the pop that you get.
It's going to be insane.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
In Miami?
In Miami.
In Miami.
Woo!
And forever, the road has been my home, so I've always felt comfortable.
Like, okay, we're going to fight Abu Dhabi, Fight Island.
Cool.
We're going to fight California, Texas.
Cool.
I've always felt great.
So definitely it's going to be like a little bit more added pressure, a little
different
being in my actual home, you know?
But you're going to wake up in your own bed.
I'm going to wake up in my own bed.
That is true.
I'm going to take a drive from my house to the arena in my car.
You know, it's all going to be like if I'm going to sparring, but a little bit
more
added chips to it, you know?
For sure.
For sure.
Yeah, it's an exciting time for the welterweight division, too.
You know, with you having that beef with Leon, and Leon now having retained the
title, and
they're talking about Colby, but I feel like with a good showing against
Gilbert, you skip
the line.
Yeah, for sure.
It becomes...
And Leon wants it, you know, more than anything.
He wants it more than anything.
Just for the history that we have, and also, we're going to sell the most pay-per-views
if me and him are in that cage.
It'll sell a lot.
Yeah.
It'll sell a lot.
It'll be a big fight.
It's going to be a gigantic fight.
What did you think about the rematch, the rubber fight with Leon and Kamaru?
Little lackluster, you know, and Us
