JRE MMA Show #70 with Aljamain Sterling

boom and we're live you're the first guy with a high top ever to wear these my
i was wondering
whether or not the microphones were gonna sit but it's perfect yeah it's just
right in there
it's like a little crevice fluffy like a little rest area does that help does
this having that
much hair on the top of your head is there any benefit of that i think when you
get like elbowed
or anything like that i think it helps out a ton like if someone if you have
someone in their guard
and they're trying to elbow the top of your head i would imagine yeah it's a
little cushion on it so
i think it protects you and i kind of grew out the beard for that kind of the
same reason but it
doesn't get as burly as i kind of wanted to but it works i think in boxing they
used to make people
shave their beard yeah that's probably why impact i i you know that kid desi
green i used to live with
him he's in the ufc also and um whenever i put that guy in the guillotine
because he has these big dreads
and he would always get out of them because the dreads were like it gave his
head it made his head
appear like it was bigger so you wrap around it and you squeeze the cushion and
it just compresses
and then he just his head just slides out of it completely out so it's like a
cheat code
slippery slippery dreadlocks i would also imagine though that having a bald
head if you get sweaty
would make it a little greasier like if you have stubble like on the top of
your head that would
provide like a little bit of friction yeah it makes sense i i follow you i
follow you on that
i haven't had a bald head though so i don't i i start for me to know i like how
your shirt even
has a gold chain on it i was gonna wear the big boy chain today but uh why did
you not i don't
know i don't know you only carry that out when you fight i usually do i try to
keep it not like too
ridiculous all the time you know try to be like only in character like make it
for like a like a special
occasion type of thing there's even though i would consider this a special
occasion but i try to make
it more of a like an mma thing there's something extra special about a t-shirt
with gold chain on it
it might be more special than an actual gold chain itself it works it works so
it's kind of silly
yeah man how much does that thing weigh the real one um not very heavy really
not very it looks like
it's like 10 pounds nah i wish it was 10 pounds that'd be 10 pounds of gold but
uh
it's not it's not so is it like an easter uh a easter bunny but like hollow
yeah that thing is massive
right so is it hollow they're like hollow tubes yeah you think that would be so
heavy you would
think i get a lot of people that come up to me and start grabbing my chain i'm
like oh yes this is
supposed to be a mystery you know today to the human mind you're not supposed
to know what this feels like
you know it's really light give them the illusion that i spent like 25 000 on a
big ass gold rope
chain but uh nah well you remember when rampage used to wear the motorcycle
chain yeah the links
yeah real heavy links around his neck i was gonna actually go there was two
routes i was gonna go
the old school rail with my chain like the way my dad used to wear it and how
we used to wear it when
we were kids or rampage jackson and be like the the new generation of rampage
jackson even i wasn't
like slamming people but i would have to like somehow work that in there yeah
that's rampage
still fighting crazy crazy you know still competitive after all these years i
mean rampage
was a pioneer man yeah i remember his fight with chuck liddell his fights with
vanderlei silver even
the one he lost in our pride when he went through the ropes and then he came
back and got redemption
i was like god that's gotta feel so good because that's like the bad highlight
he came back and got
a highlight of his own so i think he lost to vanderlei twice and yeah he got
stopped twice in pride and
then flatlined vanderlei in the ufc yep i also think man it's it's speculation
but i also think the
vanderlei that he fought in the ufc was the one who got drug tested yep a
hundred percent different
vanderlei yeah i think there's a lot of that for a lot of people too um a lot i
don't like don't like
saying it yeah i don't like saying it because you know what it is i feel like i
see these people
and then it's like i know you might have heard me say this so it's like that
little awkward tension
and i don't like that man i know yeah yeah you're a good guy it gets weird but
it is the thing that
if you look at it historically if you look at the sport in terms of like like
when people look at
barry bonds and when they look at jose canseco or they look at uh what was that
other dude's name
the dude mark mcguire yeah or sammy sosa everyone knows those dudes were juice
heads that's just a
part of the thing so you go with their amazing baseball players incredible
athletes also were on
the sauce yeah fact does that take away from it though that's that's my was
that's it's hard to
say right because everybody was on it yeah do you know there's a great
documentary that's out right
now by billy corbin he's the same guy who did uh he did cocaine cowboys one and
two he's got a new
one out about a rod okay what is it called i gotta check that out screwball
screwball it's hilarious
but it's about the fighters the the players that uh it was about how of debt
how owing a roi doctor
some money turned into this horrible revelation where they found out how how
these baseball players
were getting their juice from that guy okay because they owed somebody some
money this guy
and that guy didn't get paid so he went public with everything so it was like a
small amount and they
had a bunch of kids like these little kids play the doctor and play a rod so
like in the movie the
reenactments the reenactments were all done by children that's hysterical i
definitely gotta check
that out it's hilarious it's a funny movie this is funny yeah this is they he
it's really fun that's a
rod as a child it's really funny man oh man what's it called did you say screwball
screwball yeah
well billy corbin is a genius he's a really really great director and he like i
said he directed two
of my favorite cocaine documentaries of all time cocaine cowboys one and two
okay have you seen those
no no okay don't even look at screwball yet i haven't even seen narcos he gets
oh jesus i'm like
i'm trying to catch up there's so much so much content on this it's hard do you
with stranger things
i've got to get into that too i just started black mirror i'm on season three
and that just started
like opening my eyes i'm like man technology is like could be used in such up
ways it's crazy
unabomber was right the unabomber was correct yeah that show me up more than
any show
because it's so close to possible yes especially episode one season one with
the pig oh yeah that was
intense the one that got me most was crocodile that one where there's the the
car accident and
they hide the body and then the lady winds up doing all these different things
to cover up her crime
not anything you can read people's memories you can get people's memories and
you'd watch them play
oh re-watch i that one i saw yeah which was freaky yeah when the lady did
terrible things yeah yeah i'm
like oh yeah okay well i don't want to tell you anything you're gonna you're
gonna but i didn't
even ruin it it's that good there is one though with the with the memory yes
with the guy and the
girlfriend with the girl's cheating yeah yeah yeah it's up yeah it's up that's
all coming man
that's all coming i've been talking about this on stage like how good is your
memory
you know because my memory is not that good like if i tried to remember things
that happened yesterday
if i had to draw everything i saw yesterday it's not that good no like even if
you say your memory's
good it's your recollection of actual things you don't have a video memory but
if you had a video
memory wouldn't it like that's what that would be a first thing that we
surrender if they could put a
chip in it's like algemane listen wouldn't it be amazing if you could pull
every technique and and see
it exactly as it should be done you could see it play out in front of your head
you could see all of your
memories all of them exactly so you have no like if your girlfriend says you
told me no no i didn't
say that this is what i said i'll play it for you right now that that's gonna
they're gonna that's
how they're gonna get us yeah but it's kind of scary and they showed it the guy
was able to freeze
frame the the guy's memories with his uh wife yes and then it was like that's
my that's my picture in
the background and she was like oh it was only like a one week thing and then
it's like only like a one
more thing that turned into like yesterday yeah that's up it was up it's good
though yeah i don't
think i want that that would be i want it as it was beat i want to know i want
to know what i'm dealing
with i think we're gonna i don't think it's i don't think we have a choice i
think it's coming
i think it's inevitable i'm gonna rebel you're gonna the great rebellion i'll
be the leader imagine if like
uh they just figure out i mean when you're thinking about people that have cte
and brain damage and car
accidents football and fighting and all these different things what if they say
listen listen
we'd fix all that fix all that with this chip just it rewires the whole brain
you're fine and it
provides you with that video memory so you could have your entire mma career
never worry about cte
you could just swing for the fences like right like lamas and max holloway did
yeah stand in the middle
of the octagon swing no worries just bang yeah but then if you did that then
what about like parkinson's
or anything like that would that still be a thing or point i mean if that wasn't
a thing then i'd be
all for it but also oddly enough i think that part of what makes mma so
exciting is that there's crazy
consequences it's part of the reasons why when you see like masvidal knocks out
ben askram with that
flying knee part of why was so exciting like oh he's hurt bad yeah it's not
that he's gonna be fine
nothing there's no damage from this whatsoever like no that's real damage like
he went out cold
instantly and then he got punched in the face twice it's part of what it's
terrible but it's part of what
makes the sport so exciting is that you realize these guys are so brave to face
these potential
consequences yeah it makes it it makes it it's like an added element of danger
that makes it exciting
it's very true but it's man i felt so bad for him when that when i saw that
because it kind of brought
back memories for myself i was like ah i know exactly what that moment feels
like i don't remember it
but i know exactly what that moment feels like when you fought morais do you
remember what happened up
to that yeah and you just don't remember it landing i i saw like right before
it lands and it was like
you know in those movies when it goes it was at this very moment he realized he
up
that's exactly what that was for me and out like a light man and i didn't like
come to and like i mean
i woke up but i didn't come to like actually remember like i was in a fist
fight and i lost
like really bad like really quick when i got into the hospital and that's when
you realized it yeah
i heard ben say the same thing i was like oh this is not just me i guess it's
just a really bad
knockout him shooting forward and masvidal jumping into him like a car crash
man and masvidal's
running full clip that was a 40-yard dash running full clip and perfect
placement of the knee i mean
you don't get a cleaner knockout no and uh just the way he did it like he was
showing the video of him
practicing it and saying he had like three different scenarios of how that
situation could have went
that's like masterful thinking and tactical like there's not a lot of people
who are that cerebral when
it comes t
