The Joe Rogan experience. He was one of Nick's training partners. He's been a
training partner of Nick's forever. Nick Diaz. Joe Schilling. Oh my god, I
thought you meant the guy that got knocked out. I was like, wait, what the fuck?
Joe Schilling. He was there at the Diaz fight. And, you know, my thing about
Nick Diaz is like, when I looked at him physically, I was like, I don't know
how much he's been training. Like, when Nick was in his prime, he was like
really lean.
And he was, you know, I mean, he's definitely like an older guy now. How old,
though? I think he's like 30. I don't know. How old? 38. 38? Is he really? Yeah.
But the thing is, like, I don't think you can just jump back in that easy after
six years out of the sport. I think you'd probably need more time to prepare. I
don't know. He kind of got fucked, right? Well, I don't know how much time he
had to prepare and why they agreed to do a fight on short notice. Because I
think it was only like six weeks notice, which I think is fine.
Fine if you are, you know, Michael Chandler. If you're in like peak form right
now and you're ready to go and someone gives you six weeks, I bet you can get
ready for a fight.
But if you're a guy who's been off for that long, you're going to need more
time, I think. I'm just guessing. I don't know how much time it took him.
But my point was he didn't do that bad for a guy that was out six months. You
know, Robbie Lawler was pressuring him and he was putting it on him and he was
definitely getting the better of the exchanges. But it's not like Nick Diaz
didn't have his moments. And he definitely did. He would just have to have
really like way more time to prepare.
And he would have to really be like ready to go. Like the old Nick Diaz. Like
the Nick Diaz that fought Anderson Silva. Like the Nick Diaz that fought George
St. Pierre. Like the Nick Diaz that fought Paul Daly in Strikeforce. I mean,
that dude was a fucking killer.
It's just like, can he still do that at 38? Well, maybe we don't know if you
just have one fight. You need time. Like if your body hasn't been used to this
stuff and you haven't been training as much as you were when you were in your
prime, if you still want to do it again, like legitimately, physically, you
probably can.
But it's like, you know, you've run a marathon when you start out and you run a
mile and you're dead. And you're like, I can't believe anybody can run 26 of
those. But if you do it over and over and over again, you build up.
I don't think he had a chance. I don't think Nick Diaz had a chance to build
back up after being off for that much time.
I think you get back to where he was Nick Diaz in his best. You got to like, he's
got to have some time.
Those Diaz brothers were great for their fucking, their pace. They could last
the whole fucking fight because of their cardio.
Well, they're always into triathlons and shit. They got Crohn Gracie into that
too.
Really?
Yeah, it's one of the reasons why he's so good. His cardio is amazing too.
I did a triathlon. Most terrifying thing I've ever done in my life.
Oh my God, man.
I'm running the New York City marathon.
When's that?
November 6th.
How are you doing that like this?
I don't know, Joe.
What the fuck are you doing?
You want to pulverize your knees?
I don't know. You saw Nick step into the cage?
I'll figure it out. Robbie Lawler won't be there.
Why don't you just make yourself smaller first?
I don't know. We should do another cocktail.
I'm going to try to lose weight. I'm going to try to lose weight.
