JRE MMA Show #122 with Jake Shields

Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
So, do you know, we just, everybody keeps, hello Jake Shields.
How's it going, Joe?
Great to be on your show.
Great to have you.
I've known you for like, what, 15 years?
Long fucking time, brother.
And then, uh.
Maybe more, it might be like 20.
Yeah, right, 20.
I've never seen your podcast, um, when it first started, you were like a small
little
fringe show for like, uh, potheads, fight people, comedians.
Well, I waited until it got real big to bring you on.
Yeah, so now, no pressure now.
So, we were talking about this, uh, what is it called?
This COVID documentary that I think is made by the Russians.
It's definitely true, by the way.
Watch the water.
Definitely true.
So, what are they trying to say?
There's snake venom.
All right, well, the.
I don't know.
I've just heard this one, by the way.
I just broke this one to me.
Yeah, someone was saying that it was the mark of the beast.
Let's, let me read you the byline.
Okay, okay.
You tell me what you think we're gonna get.
We're gonna watch.
Okay.
The plandemic continues, but its origins are still a nefarious mystery.
How did the world get sick?
How did COVID really spread?
How did the satanic elite tell the world about this bioweapon ahead of time?
Watch this doctor has unveiled a shocking connection between this pandemic and
the eternal battle
of good and evil, which began in the Garden of Eden.
Oh, Jesus.
So, that's what it is.
They were saying that the snake venom.
So, there's a picture of like a snake.
Oh, boy.
So, it's the mark.
They're saying that it's the mark of the beast.
Yeah, because the snake is like, you know, represents Satan.
So, literally Satan blood.
The crazy thing is they've banned this from YouTube.
Really?
Yeah.
At what point in time?
Come on.
What about fun?
Yeah, we should be able to watch things about snake blood and the devil's beast.
I want to watch it now.
I mean, even if it's ridiculous.
Come on.
What about fun?
Because I think when you pull things like this down from YouTube, it just makes
the really
nutty people think that there's an even grander conspiracy.
Yeah.
No, trying to fight it makes it seem like there might really be something there.
Like, it doesn't need to be taken down.
Especially, this is just so ridiculous.
It's like, come on.
But the thing is, when you start saying Satan, people start getting real
curious.
Like, maybe, man.
Maybe.
Yeah.
Might be Satan.
Satan.
What is it?
Kaiser So says?
Phrase?
The biggest trick the devil played?
Just outside of this, if you tried to make, you know, like one of those infomercials
from the 90s and say you had some fake product that could cure this and you
made a 45-minute
version of that and put it on YouTube, would they allow that?
As long as it's not about COVID.
The thing is, like, they've cracked down so hard on anything that is against
the COVID
narrative.
That's what's going on.
Yeah.
It's kind of crazy how they'll ban even stuff that's true.
I mean, stuff like this is obviously probably not true, but things that we now
know for a
fact are true.
Guys like Alex Bernstein, you've had him on the show.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He got banned for putting stuff that was true just ahead of the curve.
A hundred percent true.
Ahead of the curve.
If you put it out now, there wouldn't even be a debate about it.
Yeah.
Like all the things that he said about like masks not working, about how people
that are
vaccinated can still spread it.
It's the problem is that 75% of all television advertising, 75% of it is made
is from pharmaceutical
companies.
Yup.
And, you know, who owns Twitter, pharmaceutical companies, and Vanguard, and
BlackRock, and...
Well, also like the Saudi family, right?
Isn't that like one of the royal families?
Because they were tweeting with Elon when Elon was trying to buy it.
You see Elon's response?
It was like, oh, hey, so what's Saudi's something like opinion on...
Free speech.
Yeah.
I'm pretty sure that was a jab, but the journalist, they chopped up alive in
Turkey.
Yeah.
Jamal Khashoggi.
Yeah.
I mean, that's how I thought of it, at least.
Did you ever see that documentary, The Dissident?
No, I didn't.
Dude.
It's dark.
It's Brian Fogel, and he's a brilliant documentary guy who also made...
He made Icarus.
Did you see that?
That's the one on the Russians cheating at the Olympics.
I heard of it.
I know I need to watch it, but I have not seen that.
I hear that's really good, yeah.
It's amazing.
It's amazing, because it shows how the Russian doping program, how deep it goes.
Damn.
Like, it goes...
There's a lot of strong Russians I've trained with.
Not saying they're doping, just to be clear about that, but...
Well, I mean...
You guys are strong.
Jake, you started MMA and competition jiu-jitsu in the days where rampant steroid
use.
Yeah, everywhere.
I mean, it was everywhere.
Like, in the early days of fighting, like, when you were first...
Like, what year was your first MMA fight?
I think 99.
99.
Yeah.
Surprisingly, we were always in the teams that were always, like, not, like,
huge anti, but
we were just never doing it.
You know, with Nick, Nate, Gil, all those guys.
Right.
Those are some of the few guys that didn't.
Mm-hmm.
You know, like, in the sport, it's true.
Most people were doing it.
It made it hard not to, because you know everyone's doing it.
Right.
It's cycling off, and it made it so hard.
There's definitely less now, but to me, I think there's still some out there.
You see some of these guys just looking so jacked, such good shape.
I have no idea what they're doing to beat the test, but it seems like some guys
are.
Well, I mean, obviously, there's some genetic freaks, but I think there's also
some things
that you can get away with.
Mm-hmm.
You know, I think micro-dosing testosterone you could probably get away with.
Yeah.
There's probably a bunch of different peptides that are still legal that are
effective.
Mm-hmm.
Well, yeah.
Genetics, but then you'll see a team that has, like, 10 guys that are all jacked.
It's like, hmm.
Yeah.
Not going to say any teams.
Well, what's crazy is when USADA came along, how many people melted.
Mm-hmm.
No, exactly, because they melted, but you look at them now, and now they're
blown back
up.
Yeah, they figured it out.
They've worked out the cycles.
That's kind of what I think, but I have no inside information, so I'm just speculating.
Well, the amount of money that's in MMA now is so substantial, and a lot of
these teams
are backed by, like, really wealthy people, and they bring in fucking chemists.
Yep, that can stay ahead of the curb.
That's what I assume is going on, but again, I have just no idea, and I would
never accuse anyone
of juicing without knowing.
That's a messed up thing to do.
Have you fucked around with anything?
Have you tried anything?
Not really.
No?
Not really is a weird word.
Well, diuretics.
I'm getting older now, so I think it might be about time to not competing.
Are you done competing totally?
Well, I'd still compete jujitsu, but most likely fighting.
I mean, if someone offers me a shitload of money for another named guy, I'll do
it, but
I'm not going to fight like some 25-0 Russian that no one's ever heard of that
they're trying
to build up off of me.
Right.
When was the last time you fought?
How many years ago?
Like, three years ago.
Three years ago.
It's, you know, retirement is a...
Was that PFL?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Lost in the last fight.
How was that competing over there?
I mean, it's good.
They pay good, but they just don't have the same kind of promo and attention.
Right.
It's just, you know, some of these shows pay better than the UFC for most
people, but they
don't build the hype.
So, it sucks with fighters sometimes who are looking at, you know, do I take a
pay cut
and go in the UFC and get less famous?
I mean, I had to take a pay cut after I left Strikeforce, but I wanted to fight
GSP.
So, it's like, I wouldn't have been happy with myself if I haven't got it.
So, it sucks to be in a situation to have to take a pay cut, but it's how it
goes sometimes.
Yeah.
There's a lot of these companies that have to pay a lot of money to get good
talent.
But it's still, it's like, Bellator's the only one that's getting real
attention.
But they're not still getting anywhere near the attention of the UFC.
Not even close.
No.
Like, I have this guy, I'm going to corner next week, Patchy Mix.
Absolute savage, you know?
Yeah.
He's a 15-0 amateur all submissions, like 15-1 as a pro, like 13-14 submissions,
and
like, no one really knows who he is.
And he's fighting.
He's been in a million-dollar tournament, so he's getting paid well, but it
just sucks that
he's not getting the, for how good he is, he's not getting the recognition he
deserves.
So, how does that work?
He gets a million bucks if he wins the tournament?
Yeah, I think he, and he gets paid on top of it, too, his salary, I believe.
Oh, really?
So, I think it's a million-plus, you know, whatever he has for his fights.
Did you see Corey Anderson versus Nemkov this past weekend?
I missed that.
Oh, my God.
It was such a bummer.
Because, first of all, Nemkov is a beast, but Corey Anderson was working him.
Corey Anderson was way ahead in the fight.
He was dominating him on the ground.
He was taking him down.
He was doing fantastic in the stand-up.
And then, during the ground and pound, he slipped, like, trying to throw an
elbow, I believe,
or maybe a punch, and they collided heads.
Nemkov got a giant gash, and they stopped the fight and made it a no contest.
So, this is the million-dollar fight.
Oh, Jesus.
Oh, that's the, that was the final one?
Yeah, that's it, because Nemkov's the champion.
So, are they going to fight again, or what are they going to do?
Yes, they have to fight again, but now Nemkov has.
Two fights for the million dollars.
Here, watch this again.
So, just go a little bit before this, so you can see, like, yeah.
I was trying to find the slow-mo, or here you go.
Yeah, so he was going to throw an elbow, and he got blocked, and, you know,
deflected,
and clashed heads.
And, props to Corey, he immediately said, I hit him with my head.
See, look, see, it was just, like, his arms slipped off, and they collided
heads.
I wouldn't have said anything if I was Corey.
Well, Corey's a good man.
Not that you're not, but, you know.
But I still wouldn't say anything.
He just wanted to be, so, Nemkov's a bad motherfucker, though.
He's a beast.
I mean, he knocked out Ryan Bader, and Corey just, it just was one of those
things, man.
I mean, there's nothing you can do.
Yeah, man, Bellator has some great fighters, but.
They're doing well.
They're doing well, but they never, they haven't got the same kind of hype that
Strikeforce
had when I was talking about the thing.
Because Strikeforce was the show, other than Pride, that managed to get some
real hype.
And Elite XC, remember, for a little bit?
Yeah, that was, they kind of turned into that.
That's why I didn't mention Elite XC, because Strikeforce bought Elite XC and
got their TV deals.
Wasn't Elite XC on CBS?
Yep, they had CBS, and then Strikeforce got that deal.
So, I was fighting on all those shows.
That was when I was able to get some hype outside the UFC.
That was a good time period.
That was the, sometimes these things happen in MMA, when the brawl broke out
between Mayhem
and you guys.
Yeah, it was after I beat Henderson.
We went out there and then Mayhem jumped over the cage, started talking crap,
and we just beat the hell out of him.
In his defense, he never complained about it, took his beating like a man.
He's crazy, but.
That was just, when Gus Johnson said, sometimes these things happen in MMA,
everybody's like,
what the fuck are you saying?
Yeah, that brawl was hilarious.
It was.
It was hilarious.
Those are the wild days of MMA.
Yeah.
You know?
It's so funny, like, when you say you competed in 99, because that's like, God,
man, you were on the early, early days.
