Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
We're up.
What's up, champ?
What's going on?
Pleasure to do this.
Pleasure to have you in here, man.
Yeah, thank you for having me, man.
I appreciate it.
That was a phenomenal performance in Brazil against Glover Teixeira in his
hometown.
Last minute, like, I mean, how much time did you have to prep for that?
I had about six weeks.
Oh, you did have six weeks.
Yeah, six weeks.
But you knew that it was supposed to be three rounds, and then they changed it
to the title for five rounds, right?
No, it was a title.
Oh, that was right after Ankulaev and Jan Bohovic, so right from there.
They legitimately called me while they were still in the gauge.
If you wanted a full camp for a five-round fight, though, what would you prefer?
Like, how much time do you really need?
I prefer maybe about eight weeks, about eight to ten weeks.
So it was slightly abbreviated, but your performance was phenomenal, man.
I mean, it was amazing to see you pick apart Glover like that and to do so well
on the ground, too.
I mean, that was a big victory.
Yeah, I mean, a lot of people thought that I couldn't do it.
I don't know.
I couldn't do it.
Well, that was just the general assumption was that I couldn't grapple on the
ground and things like that.
That's definitely...
But you're getting that general assumption from who, though?
People online?
Just picks.
Like, you know what I mean?
Just like people like that, like an analyst.
Then, like, any, like, the fighters or whatever that I talk to, like, they were
like, oh, like, they always say it's always something that they say.
Even guys in the division, you know, they were like, oh, he's just a boxer.
You know, I don't know if he can really wrestle or if he can really ask, like,
kicks or anything like that.
They were questioning the kicks, too.
You know, so it's just...
That's some of the biggest moments in the fight, that left high kick of yours.
Yeah.
Well, people are going to question you until they can't anymore.
Right.
That's how it goes.
You know, there's always, ah, I don't know about this guy, and then all of a
sudden he's the best ever.
You never know.
Right, and that's why I'm just hungry for, you know what I mean, for names, man.
I'm hungry for the next challenge.
What did it feel like when they strapped that thing around your waist?
Man, it's a hard thing to describe.
It was just, like, almost, like, unreal, like, almost, like, living, like,
almost, like, in a dream.
Yeah.
Like, one of the dreams that I've had, you know, and it was just, like, I don't
know, it was just crazy.
Just the weight of everything that I did and been through and everything was
just, it was a lot.
Yeah, it seemed like a lot.
It's a lot for everybody.
I mean, that's a moment that very few human beings will ever achieve.
There's it right now.
Yeah, that was...
Like, that's when he told me that he was about to retire.
I mean, it's amazing how long that dude has hung in there.
He was the boogeyman for six years.
You know, for six years, Glover lived in Brazil and he couldn't get a visa.
And this was, like, in the early days, like, when Chuck Liddell was the UFC
light heavyweight champion.
That's how far back Glover goes.
Right.
I heard something about, like, he went pro in 2001.
Yeah.
Crazy.
Right?
Crazy.
Yeah, that's wild.
22 years later.
And then...
Still fighting for a world championship.
And, you know, having that fight with Yura Prochaska where he lost the title.
I mean, that was a crazy close fight.
Yeah.
Until he got caught in that choke.
He was ahead.
I think he was.
Yeah, he was ahead in that fight.
Yeah, I believe he was.
That video that you made to Yura was hilarious.
We played it on the podcast.
Yeah, man.
You can't let it slide, man.
That's what she said!
That's what she said.
That was the first thing that came in my head, whatever he was saying.
I'm coming.
Now, I can't...
He's ruined the phrase for me now because now I can't say it at all.
No matter what, somebody was calling me and was like, oh, I'm coming.
I'm coming.
Like, just...
He's an odd duck.
Yeah.
That dude's an odd duck.
He's strange.
He's very, very different.
Do you see, like, when he was fighting Glover and Glover was beating him up,
he was like, good job, good job.
Yeah, like, tapping him on it.
I thought it was like, well, you can't do that, man.
It looks like you're tapping.
Right, it looks like you're tapping.
Like, what are you doing?
He's like, good job, good job.
But he's saying good job.
And I think it was...
Was it Mark Goddard who was the referee?
I think it was Mark Goddard.
Whoever it was was warning him.
It's like, hey, don't fucking slap him and say good job.
You can't do that.
Just, what a weird thing to do.
Guys on top of you, it raining blows down.
You're like, good job, good job.
Yeah, bro.
I don't know.
The only thing I can think would be, possibly, it could be, like, just, like, a
tactic to
try to make it seem like, oh, like, no matter what, you're wasting your time.
Right.
Type thing.
Yeah.
Try to, like, get in their head.
Because I think even, like, with the whole samurai thing, like, he wants to
play.
He obviously wants to, wants to, this image to be believed of and things like
that.
But, you know, I just seen him when I was at the PI a couple of days ago.
And he's a nice dude.
You know, he walked up.
He's like, nice to meet you.
Things like that.
And then, like, I came back and said, I was going into PT and he was working.
He was like, I'm working on it.
You know what I mean?
I'm working.
He's like, I'm going to take your time.
Do your thing.
He's already had the shoulder surgery, right?
I don't know.
I would assume if he's already trying to rehab.
Yeah.
I'm sure he has.
Because apparently his shoulder was the worst shoulder they had ever seen.
The UFC doctors had never seen his shoulder that fucked up before.
Do you know what happened to him?
No.
His shoulder went out of socket in training camp and they tried to put it back
in.
Oh, yeah.
And these dudes are yanking on it.
These just gym dudes yanking on it and they fucked it up way worse.
Yeah, that's never a good idea.
Yeah, go to a fucking doctor, man.
Right.
You're a world champion.
World champion.
And he had to give up his title like that.
Well, it's interesting that he did decide to give up his title.
He could have held on to it and he could have had an interim title
and you could be fighting him for the undisputed title.
But instead he's like, no, I'm going to give up my title.
That's why I said he's an odd dude.
Yeah, that's strange.
Because that's not only like a bad move legacy-wise,
that's a bad business move.
Yeah.
Because now your next fight, you fight as a challenger.
Yeah.
You don't get the same pay-per-view buys.
You know what I mean?
You don't get the same amount of money or none of that.
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.
I mean, I could imagine the thought process behind it.
Like, you want to be noble.
But you got to take care of your money, bro.
You got to take care of your money.
I mean, how many world title fights you get?
If you're lucky.
If everything goes perfect.
And he should know now, especially being injured.
Like, hey, this could happen.
And you could get a catastrophic injury.
And you could be out for a year or so.
You never know.
I think it was a play of him trying to be noble.
Just trying to be noble.
Trying to, like, you know, oh, he does the right thing.
The way he respects the warrior.
I like how you're thinking about it.
Like, 3D chess.
Like, what is this motherfucker doing for real?
I'm trying to tell you, man.
I think a lot of what he does is meant to put a certain image in your head.
You know, so.
I'm sure.
I mean, it makes sense.
It would be smart to do it.
I mean, he's got a weird image.
He's out there throwing kicks at trees.
Right.
You know, he's like, wraps a tree up in a foam pad
and starts punching it and kicking it.
Yelling in the woods.
Yeah.
Like, okay, man.
You know, gyms are better.
Gyms are definitely better than a tree.
I want to know what it is about being in the woods
that just makes someone stay ill.
Like, what is it?
Are you upset with the trees?
Do you just feel alone?
Do you want to be heard?
I mean, these are all questions.
Do you want to be heard?
Right, right.
Yeah.
Does it make you more noble or sophisticated to be in the woods?
I don't know.
What is it?
Remember when Rocky was training for Drago and Rocky IV?
Went to the woods, running in the snow, carrying logs and shit.
I think, matter of fact, it makes me feel weird just even saying it
in the I'm Coming video.
Damn it.
Damn it.
I don't know another way to say it.
That's what she said.
Here it is.
This is crazy.
I think it...
Where you at, though?
This is the video.
By the way.
That's what she said.
That's what she said!
Bro, and the one that he did, though,
it was like an axe in a tree stump in the background.
Yeah?
Did you notice that?
No, I didn't notice that.
Yeah, bro.
I don't...
It's probably out there chopping wood.
Chopping wood.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Look at him.
I'm coming.
I'm coming!
It is fucking weird.
It's like...
Oh, wait, so I guess that wasn't an axe.
Yeah.
I might have been high when I said it.
It could have just been that post right there.
Yeah, I don't see an axe.
He's a strange cat, man.
That's a strange cat.
That was just like...
Yeah, I don't know, man.
I'm coming.
Did you think he's next?
Have they had any conversations with you
about who's going to be your first title defense
as the champion of the fucking world?
Woo!
Sounds good, Joe.
Sounds good, right?
Sounds real fucking good.
And you earned the fuck out of that, too.
Yeah, man.
It was...
Yeah, bro.
Glover was tough, man.
Oh, he's so tough.
Like, y'all said that, right?
I think we need to put a little bit more emphasis on it.
Because, like, it's not just that he's tough.
He's tough.
He's tough.
And while he's being tough, he's still fighting intelligently.
You get what I'm saying?
Yeah.
So, like, for not one second did I hit him with something
and it was like, oh, shit.
I was like, oh, I don't want to get hit with whatever's next.
Right.
Cover up.
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, that one, like, oh, I need to fight, like, protection type.
Right.
He never did that.
You know?
And that was just, like, crazy because it was one sequence,
like, I think it was, like, in the third where I hit him with
right hand, right hand, elbow, left hand.
Mm-hmm.
It's like at no point was he like, oh, shit, I need to cover up.
Right.
Or anything because, like, I mean, I finished you at that point.
Right.
But it's like, bro.
That was in the ground and pound sequence.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, when you're on top of him.
That was so close.
A lot of referees would have stopped it.
A lot of referees would have stopped it there.
I mean, you were dropping bombs on him, but, yeah, he kept moving.
Kept moving.
He kept trying to wait.
He kicked me in the face.
From the bottom?
Yeah, he grabbed my arm and pulled me like he was going to try to pull me
into his guard.
And then when I went in, as soon as I, like, so, obviously,
to not go in, you got to sit up.
I sat up.
He kicked me in the face.
Mm.
Yeah.
He's a crafty fella.
Yeah, man.
I think his time with Alex Pajeda really improved him, too,
towards the very end of his career when he started training with Alex
because, like, there's something about, like, having that dude in camp with him
and he's on the run for the middleweight title that it all, like, came together.
And, you know, some of his last fights were some of his best.
The Jan Bojovic fight, you know?
I mean, the Yuri Prochaska fight, like, those are fucking great fights, man.
Yeah, he's harder to hit clean than I thought.
Because he turns his face a little, rolls with stuff?
Yeah, yeah, a little bit of that.
But it's, like, it's his hands, right?
So he definitely learns from the people that he fights because he was
definitely
doing a little John Jones
