- The Joe Rogan experience.
- That was Gustafson in his best.
That and the Jon Jones fight.
I remember the Jon Jones fight, the first one,
when Jon didn't train.
You know, that's how you see the difference,
'cause look at the second fight.
They have a second fight and Jon, well.
- Did he take him down?
- But you have to also say, the second fight,
how, was that before or after Gustafson fought Rumble?
- Oh, that's a good question.
- Rest in peace, Rumble.
Rumble passed away this week. - I don't know where.
- Apparently, he had some form of,
I think it was like non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
or something along those lines.
- Yeah, yeah.
- I don't know if that's public.
We should find out if that's public knowledge.
- I think it was.
I think I read that, I couldn't pronounce the words,
and that sounds like it was.
- Yeah, I shouldn't say it if it wasn't public knowledge.
If it's not public knowledge, we should edit it out.
You know.
- I'm almost positive I just read that
in an article the other day, but yeah, that was great.
I was on the--
- 38 years old, man.
- Yeah, I did the UFC quintet with him,
who's me, Clay Guida, him, Gilbert Burns.
Anthony Smith.
But yeah, that was, I think,
my only really interaction with him.
- Dude. - Fucking good dude.
- Yeah, non-conscious lymphoma.
A rare immune disorder called HLH.
Yeah.
- Horrible.
- 38.
- Such a nice guy.
And the biggest middle, the biggest welterweight
that's ever walked the face of the planet.
- Welterweight, yeah.
- When he was a welterweight?
- I know, that's fucked.
- Dude, I saw him in between fights once, and I go,
"Anthony, how big are you?"
And he goes, "230 pounds."
- 230?
What the fuck?
- He walked in looking like a Greek god.
He was so gigantic.
- Just ripped?
- I'm like, he wasn't fat at all.
- Oh, yeah.
- I'm like, how do you get that little?
How do you make 170?
He was gigantic.
- He always had issues making 170 though, right?
- Oh, yeah.
Well, he missed it a bunch of times, and then he fought Vitor at 85.
Rumble was like this guy that you never knew what you were going to get.
If he was ready to go, and in shape, and prepared,
he could be one of the most dangerous guys of all time.
- Yeah.
- But he was kind of, at least early on in his career,
inconsistent until he moved up in weight.
Then when he moved up in weight, look what he did in the light heavyweight
division, and I maintain that most of what was holding him back
was just the dread of making that weight.
It was just dread.
The guy goes up two weight classes and is knocking out everybody with one
punch at light heavyweight.
- Yeah, 170 should have never.
- Imagine that.
Inside of his career, he's fighting 35 pounds up and destroying people.
Knocking out Glover with one punch.
Knocks out Gustafson.
Bro, he not, he fucked everybody up except DC.
- Yeah. - DC just used his wrestling.
- He fought DC twice, right?
- Yeah. - Right?
- Yeah.
- God, I bet DC was like, "God damn, I don't want to fight this motherfucker
again, dude."
- He's so dangerous!
- Gosh.
- Rumble's so dangerous.
- That's a scary, yeah.
- He was so dangerous.
He had power that was, I remember when he hit Glover, I was like...
- Didn't his tooth go flying?
Was that Glover's tooth?
- He made somebody's tooth go flying.
- Yeah.
- I don't know if it was Glover's.
- It was that uppercut.
- God damn, he was a powerhouse.
- Yeah, possessing that fucking power in his hands.
Because he doesn't need to be like...
- Oh, it is Glover's tooth.
- Oh yeah.
Because he doesn't need to really be accurate either.
He can hit you like anywhere in the head and that's night-night.
- Bro, he could hit your shoulders and you'd be dizzy.
- It might get knocked out.
- It's crazy, he just had that preposterous power.
- Yeah, that, oof.
- Watch this uppercut.
- Dink.
Oh, that was like...
- Crazy.
- Just like a thud.
- That's rumble, man.
- Boom.
- That's why everybody was scared of rumble.
- His tooth.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, oh, oh.
- He woke up, he woke up, didn't know what the fuck happened.
- No one counted my takedown on Peter with two points.
I think that was two.
A little takedown at the end of the first.
- I think it was a takedown.
Did his knees go to the ground?
- Oh yeah.
- DC gets mad when they don't give up takedowns.
Thank you.
