Joe Rogan Experience - UFC Recap w/ Brendan Schaub

You know what? I'll see you later man.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Yee-haw!
And we're live.
Yes!
Dude, what a fucking crazy weekend, huh?
What the hell?
Watch those three title fights.
That was like, it was really funny because we were talking about this and you
were like,
"This is probably one of the best cards ever, but we have a high likelihood of
all decisions."
Yeah.
Yeah, boy was I wrong. Goddamn was I wrong.
I make some good picks, but every now and then, I looked at the matchups and I'm
like,
"Everyone's so close in competition and skill-wise."
I was like, "We're gonna get a lot of decisions, which I don't mind."
And then as we're watching, I'm glad I was wrong.
As we're watching, I'm like, "Holy shit. Best UFC card ever."
I don't know what was the most surprising outcome, too.
It's like, did you just crack yourself? Did you just hit the antlers? You
alright?
Jamie SCG.
Jamie just ran. I told you that was a bad idea to put that thing there.
Alright, we're gonna put out like a red light.
We got an elk antler right over near where Jamie has to walk past.
He's hit it twice.
It's the hat with the brim.
Like the brim blocks the effort.
This hasn't been there forever and I'm not there.
Right, spatial awareness. You're getting used to the space.
Fuck, man.
So I think maybe one of the most impressive things or confusing or unexpected
was how fucking good GSP looked.
The dude's gone for four years, comes back and immediately I see him moving
around and popping the jab and I'm like, "Jesus Christ, he looks like GSP."
He, now, yeah, yeah. See, I wasn't, I wasn't that, and everyone's like, "Oh,
here's Sha, the hater."
No, I wasn't that in love with GSP's performance.
You weren't?
I thought he looked good.
I thought he looked heavy.
I didn't think he looked as, you know, obviously he put on some pounds.
He was thick.
He was thick, thick.
Yeah.
Like three musketeer thick.
Yeah.
I thought he put on some pounds and his cardio wasn't that great.
He had cardio for days before.
Yeah, he definitely was suffering a little bit because of that and also it has
to be a big factor four years off.
Just the nerves and all that jazz.
Huge factor.
And the struggle to hold Bisping down.
Bisping's fucking hard.
And, you know, honestly, taking him down was one of the worst things that could
have happened.
He got cut the fuck up.
Bisping didn't work down there.
And when I was worried if it went to decision, I thought Bisping's actually
winning.
Even though GSP got him down for that portion, if the, hopefully the judges see
that Bisping's doing the damage down there.
Oh, for sure.
That should count in their eyes.
I agree.
I agree 100%.
The only time it's ever really counted though in a fight is Kevin Randleman
versus Boss Rutten.
Remember, Kevin Randleman took Boss Rutten down.
But Boss Rutten was beating the shit out of him from the bottom and Randleman
didn't do anything.
But a lot of people were super outraged after that decision.
You know, that was a weird one because most of the fight was spent with Boss on
the bottom and Randleman on top.
That's old school.
I think, I think GSP obviously looked great past the test.
I didn't, see, I always look what's next.
I didn't think, I thought Bisping was super hesitant because for this reason,
they trained earlier.
They trained earlier, right?
They trained in 2008.
Six.
I guess 2006, so a while ago.
I guess GSP just kind of mopped the floor with them.
Like kind of did whatever they wanted.
Yeah, his wrestling.
So then, I think GSP's camp and their thinking was, alright, middleweight's
really not where we should be at.
But Bisping's kind of easy picking for us.
We might as well go get the belt from him if we're going to do this big
comeback.
Yeah.
So I think he thought it was a good matchup.
And I think because they trained prior, that wasn't normal Bisping.
Bisping pushes the pace.
I think he was so worried about the takedown, rightfully so.
I don't think that, Bisping didn't look great to me either.
No.
He looked very stiff.
Super hesitant and stiff.
And he looked like, you know, Father Time was like, "Yo man, tonight's your
night."
I don't think it was a Father Time thing.
I think it was in the back of his mind.
He was very openly admitting that GSP dominated those training sessions that
they had in 2006.
And he was saying, "Look, I'm much better than I was back then."
Which I'm sure he is, but you can only get so much better.
It's also a mental thing.
Like, "Damn, when he did that and he's impossible to get off."
So I think he was very reserved.
But I just, I thought, again, I thought after four years, hell yeah, George
looked good.
Did George look good enough to beat like a Whitaker or Yo Romero?
Probably not.
Not to hate on what's going on right now, 'cause it's an epic night.
I just look at the real middleweights.
Yes.
Meaning Whitaker, Yo El, Luke Rockhold.
Yeah.
And with those cardio problems, I was like, "This was a fun one."
And you're crazy if you think he's gonna fight again at 85.
That didn't happen.
I don't think so either.
I can promise you that's not happening.
I think he drops right back down to 170.
He's fighting Woodley next.
Yeah, when I was thinking about him fighting, and Woodley's no fucking picnic.
That ain't a good time.
That ain't a good time.
That ain't a good time.
Matchup-wise, that's very tough for GSP.
But you know, Woodley's been dealing with a shoulder injury.
He hurt his shoulder pretty bad in that fight early in the Thompson fight.
And so what he does about that is what, that's what, that's what's up in the
air.
If he chooses to have surgery, I believe he has a, I don't know if he's talked
about it,
but I think he has a labrum tear.
So the question is what he decides to do about that.
I heard him say about Colby coming to him, we should talk about him.
He's killing me lately, but in a good way.
But he was saying, he goes, yeah, my shoulder's messed up, but it's good enough
where I could
whoop Colby's ass.
Now, is it good enough to whoop GSP?
Probably not.
But Whitaker's out too.
Yeah.
But Whitaker's almost back.
If they do another intern belt at Welterweight, I'm going to bust.
I'm going to freak out.
If there's more intern belts, I'm going to freak the fuck out.
If they do it, who would do, who would they do?
Well, if Woodley has to do surgery and then GSP's like, no, I'm not fighting.
Wonderboy versus Covington?
Oh my God.
Or GSP versus someone down there.
GSP versus someone would get a lot of press.
Yep.
They think they got over a million pay-per-view by Saturday night.
I hope so.
Yeah.
I hope so.
I thought, I thought it was going to do around 700s.
They might've got a million just from Canada.
They said Canada was tracking higher than the pay-per-view for Mayweather
versus McGregor.
Really?
Yeah.
Canada, come on.
Canada's crazy for GSP, bro.
I love 'em some GSP.
I mean, he won athlete of the year back when the UFC was like, not nearly as
popular.
It's true.
It's true.
He's big.
Pre-Ronda and pre-Connor, he won athlete of the year in Canada.
Well, now, obviously there's the Conor McGregor effect, but there's no one in
the UFC
that can go to Canada and sell out the Bell Center, the Giant Toronto.
No.
Now you can do that.
Yeah.
His next fight, you can go up there and do that.
His next fight, now he's the middleweight champion in the world?
Holy shit.
Jesus Christ.
You know in his contract, and Dana said this, but contracts are like pinky swears
in the UFC.
They're kinda like, alright, whatever.
You know what I'm saying?
I think, you know, in his contract he has, and he said this, and it's in his
contract,
he has to defend for the middleweight title, but again, I don't think it's
gonna happen.
Cause you hear, if Freddie Roach talked about how 85's not where he wants to be
at.
When they ask him what's next.
And then also, remember, all this adds up.
It's easy to figure out.
You don't have to be fucking Sherlock Holmes.
Whitaker was cage side.
If that fight was next, the way you rip your promo is bring Whitaker into the
cage.
They're like, nah, son, you're good.
You sit there.
You ain't coming in here.
We don't need that right now.
Sober October's over.
It's definitely over.
Yeah, I don't know, man.
Whitaker, I'm sure, would want that fight.
Hell yeah, he'd want that fight.
I don't think GSP was ever really considering it.
No, I don't, it's just not a possibility.
I think GSP.
Woodley's next.
But, yeah.
With Woodley injured, here's the real crazy question.
If Conor defends against Tony, and that's a big fight.
Which I heard is in March.
That's the rumors.
What do you think about GSP versus Conor?
I know, right?
What?
I'm whispering because it's crazy.
A lot of things have to happen in order for that to line up.
A lot of things.
So Conor would have to beat Tony.
GSP has to lose a shitload of weight.
Which I think he's down to do.
He was a gorilla.
When I interviewed him at the weigh-ins, and I put my arm on him, I was like,
what in
the fuck, dude?
He's giant now.
It's too much.
It was just too much.
Huge.
Yeah, yeah.
Tony bigger.
He looked like 200 plus pounds when he got into the office count.
His frame's so much bigger than Conor.
Yes.
But just the magnitude of that fight.
They do it at a catch weight.
That's a super fight.
When we're talking about super fights, no, that's a motherfucking super fight.
It would have to be at 170.
But if they did do it at 170.
Conor would have to get through Tony.
Yeah.
GSP's gonna have to beat Woodley, and then he'd get an end of next year.
Oh, God.
There's a lot that has to line up.
Oh, God.
That's a big if.
Tony's a giant if.
But even if he doesn't, it's still a super fight, right?
If he loses by devastating knockout, it's not a super fight.
Yeah, you know what I'm trying to see that.
You're probably not gonna see GSP again.
You know, the thing about Woodley is, if Woodley wins, you're probably going to
the
hospital.
Unless your name's Wonderboy, and then you're probably going to sleep on the
couch as a fan.
Well, Wonderboy fight at least went to decision, but there was moments in that
fight where
it looked like Wonderboy was going out.
Hell yeah.
I mean, Woodley puts people, excuse me, Woodley puts people to sleep.
I mean, he hits fucking hard.
But here's the question, like what, how much damage has been done to his
shoulder?
And what needs to be, I mean, it's a labrum tear, whatever sort of a tear it is.
Can it be fixed with stem cells?
Can it be fixed with rehab?
Or is it damaged to the point where he's gonna need surgery?
Because if he does, he's likely out a year.
That's what Kane had.
Kane had.
Kane had labrum surgery.
Correct.
He was out for a year.
It's a rough one, too, to come back from.
It's a rough one.
Yeah.
It's not an easy road back.
And especially, if you're someone who has that wild punching style, like Woodley,
think
about how much fucking torque that guy puts in his punches.
I mean, he might be the heaviest hitter in the history of the 170-pound
division.
You watch that fight with Josh Koscheck, or watch that fight with Jay Heron.
Dude, he hits...
When Anthony Johnson was cutting to 70, he begs to differ.
That's different at all.
He had no business being down in the way.
Yeah.
But I hear you.
Especially right now.
He's talking about coming back as a heavyweight.
I know.
Which is good, because that division needs him.
It does need him, but why is he...
I don't get it.
Yeah, I don't get it either.
He said he didn't want to fight anymore.
He's like, he's done.
Well, you know, he thought he was done.
He thought that's the life he wants.
Then when you're there, you're like, oh, this sucks.
Oh, wait, I feel actually pretty good.
I can go to heavyweight and not cut all that weight.
I wonder...
And the division's slim.
But how much weight is he really cutting at 205?
Probably 30 pounds.
He is thick.
You think he walks around at 235?
Hell yeah.
That boy is...
That's so crazy.
He's a freak, man.
That's so much weight.
So much weight.
He's an absolute freak.
Someone made a good point.
It
