JRE MMA Show #21 with Brendan Schaub

four three two one and we're live this is a bummer of a fight week but also an
awesome fight week
like i'm very excited did you see the the latest countdown what is it uh all
access what do they
call it no embedded embedded yeah i'm just trying to come up with the name of
those it's really
they're all the same but yeah all access embedded 24 7. embedded is very good i
should i should
remember the name it's very good they're all yeah this this new one is really
good because it's got
max holloway running on a treadmill two treadmills over from nirma gametov who's
also running on a
treadmill and they're fucking very cool to each other it's very interesting khabib
thanked him
for taking the fight which he should but he should thanks for taking the fight
and then they have the
same uh weight coach like yeah yeah that's crazy lockhart right it's yeah it's
like yeah lockhart is
going did this lockhart working with number good men off as well both of them
so lockhart was
like lockhart is legit like he goes over calculations of like how much you
weigh how much water you're
going to take and he's weighing things out it took him an hour and a half to do
the calculations
yeah it wasn't like hey we're going to wing this it's like no no no no no no no
we're going to do
this weight cut correctly and he's got it down to the day you know like it's
six days to lose
i think he was 171 is that is that i was wondering what what did he start at is
it 171 yeah so i think
he's got to lose 16 pounds what's crazy is when max was on my show i was
talking to him a little bit
off air and this is on record i'm not spilling anything that he didn't say but
he just goes you
know i with the injury right there jesus christ embedded embedded i think is
better than that ufc uh not
ufc the hbo ones i think it's 24 7 yeah how dare you i think it's better 24 7
when there's a big
fight yeah i think i think in general they're better i think well i think in
general they're
better because they do more of it yep but a 24 7 they're very good they're
fucking good very good
leave shriver oh i love bro watch your words son i love that guy but i like
these better remember when
they had the alley cat leave shriver yeah he's like tonight here we go but it
was nowhere near the
same yeah it was horrible i'd like fire this because there's almost no
narration right yeah it's
almost just it tells the story footage i want to see the footage i would have
liked the video of when
they called max with the fight because from what i heard he goes khabib that's
toughest guy in the
world fuck yeah let's go which is insane why don't they have a video of that
but no one knew
i don't think they knew you know to turn the video on i don't think max knew
why they were calling him
that would be an amazing video of him beyond especially if he wins this my
thing with max is
i think khabib is the toughest fight in the world on six days notice i'd rather
fight anybody else in
the world than khabib on six days because his style and just his tenacity but
with for max win
lose or draw whatever happens saturday night if you don't respect and like him
even more after this
you're a moron you're a fucking moron there's very few champions on a run like
max holloway's on that
would be willing to take this fight on six days notice and also i should say
coming off of a broken
foot correct so he had to pull out of a fight with a broken foot with frankie
edgar which just happened
so i mean how healed is he and like i said on my show he was saying you know i've
been doing some
jiu-jitsu been the swing of things for me it's good because i haven't been
balls deep into training
i've just been a little jiu-jitsu you know getting a light workout but it gives
me time with my family
he goes which and he goes you know this in camp you're present but you're not
which is true and he
goes you know so i'm going through it i'm with my son and the family but i'm
thinking about something
else because so this has been good for me to really focus on my family that was
what two weeks ago
three weeks ago wow so then bam you're fighting khabib and the reason why he
wants to fight khabib is
because he thinks khabib is the best pound for pound fighter in the world yeah
and which is nuts
because you know when you look at khabib's resume it's good it's it's it doesn't
blow your hair back
he's 25 and 0 for god's sake it's good but it's not like all this crazy you
know big names on his
record but you talked i was just in san jose john fitch goes dude and this is
john fitch yeah you know
could be you know welterweight goat he's fucking not goat but he's goddamn good
he goes i've never
seen anyone in my lifetime like khabib he goes i fought gsp in his prime he
would beat him
that's how good he is dc said he's the pound for pound greatest fighter he's
ever seen dc said that
he hand fights with him like dc's well the heavyweight strike force champion he
said he goes dude we go to
war we go to war war like imagine that dc's a gorilla he's jacked i mean dc's
got some body fat on him
he's strong as a fucking ox he's so goddamn talented he's so good it's not even
funny watch when dc
throws josh barnett through the air when they fought strike force you just go jesus
remember he did the
hendo beast dude the hendo fight was offensive he's a goddamn american he's
offensive he ragdolled hendo
and couldn't be a cooler guy like the nicest guy ever dc might be the nicest
fighter of all time one of
my favorite people him or max they're up there i love them for nicest fighters
i don't know max as well
as i know dc because i've done so many shows with him but for dc as good as he
is to say that him
and khabib go to war i'm like that's crazy dude josh thompson is the captain
aka said you know ed
ruth penn state three-time national champion freak just started doing mma and
bellator complete freak
wrestling he i was in san jose and he yeah i did a show with him and i go what
were you doing he goes
i just came from practice khabib's second to last practice i go what was he
doing he goes uh just
straight wrestling i said who was he wrestling he goes ed ruth i go oh my god
the penn state like
legend he goes yeah man how's that go down he's like the only one of them's
going down and it could
be like what ed ruth and he goes oh he goes bro it i've never seen anything
like it so there's just
this legend of life they skip when they tell me that it scares me like jesus
what well what are we
gonna do you see it in action when you saw the barboza fight he's walking
towards him like a zombie
gets a hold of him and just ragdolls him just ragdolls but this is what's great
about this fight and
that's what makes our sport so special is yeah i'm super bummed i've been in
deep depression because
ferguson fell out and we've talked about this off air but our sport's so
special because what max
holly has the chance to do saturday night if he can beat him if he can somehow
pull that out there's
nothing like in professional sports there's nothing like it if lebron goes out
the team still goes on
it's whatever if tom brady gets hurt it sucks but they still play here you know
man max has a huge chance
now are the odds stacked against him good god are they ever there couldn't be a
worse matchup for
him but what's the one achilles heel if there is one for khabib a guy who can
strike going backwards
max holly is pretty fucking good at going backwards yeah it's it's a
fascinating fight if there was no
controversy if it wasn't like six day time period for him but that's what's so
great i know it's kind
cool the only other fight that's been like that was uh nate when nate took on
connor in the first
here's the difference though nate's the bigger guy right nate's the bigger guy
the more seasoned guy
there so for nate it's like yeah it was short notice but that's a rough matchup
for connor right you
know connor should be an underdog in that fight they don't even fight at the
same weight class so
that makes a little more sense but wait a minute they do nate nate fights at 55
uh before that though
he's fighting at 70 right no no no he only fought three times at 70 but he's
fought at 70 is the
point he fought connor's never fought at 70 right but if con when connor fought
him at 70 that was 70
yeah connor's never fought he's not a 70 pounder right but i mean nate when he
fought 70 it didn't
go well i mean who did he fight he fought rory mcdonald at 70. tough matchup
who else did he fight
who else did he fight at 70 but he lost his fights at 70 i think wasn't great
at no he didn't lose all of
them wasn't great yeah wasn't great at 70 how but the thing is he's the bigger
man
he's a he's a much bigger guy but if they agreed to fight at 155 he would make
the 155 weight limit
100 yeah it's like there was all this talk about him being so much bigger than
connor oh he's bigger
for sure he's taller he's taller he's a bigger he's a bigger guy he walks
around heavier when he gets
heavier but when they fight at 55 he makes that weight and connor makes that
weight tough too they
both struggle to make 155 it's a much easier cut for connor 55 it's not the
hardest cut but when you look at
how he looks physically when he fought nate at 170 and how he looks when he's
you know 145 he was
awful i was gonna say connor can make 145 nate could never i mean there's there's
no chance he could have made it
if he cut his leg off if he was on the ultimate fighter he was cut a leg off
you know like real
list he's not making 45 well he was very thin during the ultimate fighter days
remember we have to be
because you're on the ultimate fighter right so you have to make weight
basically three times in a row
well i just think he filled in too i mean he was really young back then 100 but
you have to maintain a
lower weight yeah that's the closest fight to it though i agree that fight no i
agree with you
and the same kind of balls that nate has is like what what but max the
difference is that like max is
taking on a guy that everybody's avoiding no one's been able to solve the riddle
of khabib no one's
even ever even put him in jeopardy like he's like a johnson hit him but that
really wasn't you know
a little bit we were talking about that the other day who knows what was going
on that fight because
that was a fight where he had the same issue cutting weight that he did when he
had to pull out of the
ferguson fight where his body shut down correct so who knows he had that same
issue with the michael
he might have been severely compromised in that fight even though he beat the
fuck out of him
agree the difference between mcgregor and diaz is that they'll both keep it on
the feet really right
yeah he has a phenomenal boxer colors phenomenal striker max holloway
phenomenal striker could be
phenomenal grappler so it's it's even more of a task because khabib's not gonna
sit there and strike
he what that's your one way to win cool i'm the best grappler on earth yeah he'll
entertain it for
a little bit but you if you if you want you down there's literally no one in
the world from i'll
say 155 to 170 he's not gonna take down i want to see i really want to see him
in some straight
competition do you hearing this yeah hearing that about how how amazing is in
the training room i'll
tell you it from a guy like dc i know and and and fitch and i mean you're
talking about all like
pioneers of the sport animals i want to see him against woodley at 70. i think
70 is his natural
weight class yeah i think he'd probably be a lot healthier imagine that imagine
being stronger and
healthier woodley and khabib jesus what but woodley's a different thing man you
you miss you you up and you
you leave yourself in a position to get hit with one of those nuclear bombs oh
he'll knock you up
woodley could put people to sleep and he can grapple his ass grapple his ass
off hard to take down
and puts people to sleep with one shot i don't think woodley gets his due and i
think the best
evidence is the the two
