Joe Rogan Experience - Fight Breakdown - Mayweather vs. McGregor

Five, four, three, two, one.
Fresh from fucking Dublin, Brendan Shaw returns.
You were in the motherland. You were in the motherland for days.
I was, man. The motherland. Now it's the motherland?
Well, it's sort of one quarter of my heritage.
It's the capital of fighting, that's for sure.
Rogan is an Irish name. I don't know if you know that, lad.
Is it really? Yeah, I'm one quarter Irish.
Everyone out there, bring Rogan out here.
What do you want me? Talk to him, man.
Rogan, you're Irish, aren't you? Aren't you?
Fucking animals, bro.
Favorite place I've ever been.
Really? Yeah, man.
Those are savages.
It's not even that they're savages. They're super friendly.
Yeah, they're very friendly.
So friendly. Not that people in Australia or London or Manchester weren't,
but in Dublin, I was like, damn, I don't want to leave, man.
Like, I loved it.
I was thinking yesterday when I was watching, like, Conor McGregor work out
and, like, all the people were surrounding him while he was working out.
You know, one of those open workouts. It's real weird.
Yeah, it was an extreme thing.
You know, he's standing around hitting the bag,
and he seems to just be doing his work, doing his normal work, you know,
hitting the bag, but there's just this circle of people, like, right there.
Like, he's a lion.
Well, it's not like that.
He can't even move.
No.
Like, he can't, like, dance around.
He can't back up too much.
He's just right in front of that bag, and he's got to pretend those people aren't
there
as he works his combinations.
Right? It's just a show to hype the fight more.
I guess it is.
I guess it is.
And then the boxing purists make fun of him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because of his movement.
Yeah.
They won't make fun of him if he lands the way he did in that clip of Pauly.
That's what I'm saying.
Dude, when he landed that straight left, blam, and snapped Pauly's head back, I'm
like,
hey, Pauly, why didn't you talk about that?
He's been on a tear just going off.
That's really significant.
But if a guy like Conor McGregor does that, that is straight and clean and
sneaky.
16 ounces, too.
And a little off speed, like a little off speed in the initial part of the
movement,
and then he drops it in, bang.
That's like snake-like left hand.
Like, he's getting super comfortable if he can do that to Pauly Malignacchi.
Like, whatever you say about those clips, all we know is that that's what we've
seen.
We've only seen these little short little clips.
Like, right here.
Watch this left hand.
Watch how he sneaks this in.
Boom, son.
Speed, son.
Timing.
The left hand is on, too?
That left hand is fucking legit.
Super legit.
Here it is again.
Watch this.
Boom!
Dude, that is down the pipe.
Call it what you want.
I mean, granted, that's the 12th round, but still, Pauly, two-time world
champion.
Yeah, I don't know what round that was.
I don't care.
Me neither.
I don't care either.
If Conor can do that with that kind of speed to Pauly Malignacchi and time that
like that,
that's like, look, you can't sleep on him.
He's got magic.
That's what I'm saying, Joe.
It doesn't always work.
That's what I'm saying.
It doesn't always work.
It kind of does.
Nate Diaz has a little magic, too.
Different type of magic.
Yeah, but that, you know, in that fight, Nate Diaz had the magic.
And it was just not Conor's night.
The rematch was Conor's night.
No, not really.
No, I don't think it was.
I think the rematch was both of their night.
I think if you really want to look at that fight, honestly, the second fight, I
don't
think you see a winner.
The only thing that I think you could say makes Conor a winner is that he
dropped Nate.
Multiple times.
Well, Nate was saying that he went down with punches anyway because he was
hoping Conor
would follow him to the ground, which may or may not be true.
But it is a good strategy if you have a wicked guard.
You've been watching the sport way too long to believe that.
Nate's got a wicked guard.
Wicked guard.
If he really did decide to get, like, when he gets clipped, just to go down
with it and
to try to bring him to the ground.
Look, Fabricio does that.
Fabricio Verdun absolutely does that.
He doesn't do it by getting dropped in the face with a left hand.
Well, it was a very good shot, no doubt about it.
But the idea is, if you get hit with a good shot, you can decide to go down.
Bait him in.
You can decide to bait him in.
Three times in a row?
I think you have to take it into consideration as a possibility.
Maybe once.
Three in a row?
It might be every time he would try it.
We've never seen him do it before.
Every time he could try it.
You're right.
We never have seen him do it before.
He doesn't have these tendencies.
The only guy who's ever really fucked up, Nate, in a fight is Josh Thompson.
Josh Thompson head kicked him.
And every other fight, even when he's gotten beat up, like the Dos Anjos fight,
he's got his legs beat up, and Dos Anjos definitely won a decision.
Nate didn't get fucked up and stopped.
He's never got his ass whooped.
Josh is the only one who stopped him.
Yeah, but he still never got his ass whooped.
Never got his ass whooped.
Well, you know what?
You could say the Dos Anjos fight was kind of a beating.
Dos Anjos is just kicking the shit out of his leg.
But he's still coming forward.
100%.
He's never been broke.
You can say that.
They've never broke his will.
100%.
Even in the Thompson fight, if they let it go, he probably would have recovered
eventually
if he didn't go unconscious.
Correct.
See, I think if the real test of who's better, Conor McGregor or Nate Diaz, is
if they fight
at 55 in the trilogy fight.
Because 70, it's a toss-up.
You know, Nate won one, Conor won one.
That's whatever.
They're both not fighting at 70.
If they go to 55, you have your true, I think, winner there.
Well, you know what?
I mean, I like Nate at 55 better anyway.
Way better.
When he gets real lean, like in the Michael Johnson fight.
Come on.
Best he's ever hooked, dude.
Destroy Johnson.
Shredded at the weight end.
Shredded city.
My man was jacked.
Yes.
Just check, check, check, check.
I'm assuming that's what he's waiting for, because they've offered him fights,
right?
But he's just waiting for that big Conor payday.
I think him and his brother are smart.
You know, they're huge cultural icons.
They can go places and get paid.
And they're still in the mix for, you know, whatever weight class.
If Conor's 55 or 70.
Sure he is, if he wants to be.
No, he's suspended for a very long time.
He's just got to pay.
He's just got to pay.
Does he?
Yeah, it's not a suspension anymore.
Really?
Yeah, yeah.
What it is, is he owes them $100,000 and he won't give it.
So, so gangster.
Well, they wanted like 165.
I think he gave him like 65.
You can argue that, though.
Like, remember with Conor, like, listen, you're suspended.
You're not fighting.
You got to shoot a commercial for us.
Remember that?
They asked him to shoot a bullying commercial and pay us $175,000.
Conor went, cool.
Just not fighting Vegas.
They went, all right, no money.
Just a 15-second tweet and then we'll let you fight here.
Well, you got to realize when a guy's throwing a monster energy drink and they're
throwing
water bottles.
This is, I don't like to say this, but this is true.
There's a big part of what's going on there that is theatrics that's no
different than
pro wrestling.
It's called selling a fight.
It's called selling a fight.
And that's what they're doing.
They're throwing shit at each other, selling a fight.
Do you think he's really trying to incite a riot?
Like, you know, occasionally, yes.
Like, the DC John Jones thing, that was legit.
Different animal.
And how much did that sell the fight?
Like, the UFC was like, oh, let's just keep that in a loop.
They kept playing it over and over and over.
Non-stop.
And then they're like, we do not approve of this.
This is ridiculous.
Show it one more time.
Show it again.
One more time.
I love that, though.
Best clip ever.
Yeah.
You know, and the other thing, did they capitalize?
I don't know if they did, on the John Jones saying, you know, I did cocaine a
week before
I beat your ass.
No, they didn't.
That was doing that press.
Greatest, like, the most savage line ever.
Ever.
Dude, John Jones is no joke.
And John Jones, like, in shape with something to prove, like he did against Cormier.
Scary.
God.
So scary.
God damn it.
When he kicked him in the face.
My word.
How about the fact that he says the exact perfect thing after the fight's over?
Correct.
About Daniel.
Smart marketing.
About Daniel.
It's just, you know, I mean, it's just championship.
It felt real for the first time, too.
Yeah.
I mean, he probably felt so much gratitude.
You know, when I said to him, like, I didn't know what I was going to say to
him, but when
I said to him, you made it back.
That's how I felt.
Like, not just that he made it back to the title, but like, he made it back
from the
dark lands.
From life.
From running away from a hit and run accident with who knows what the fuck you've
got on you.
You know, all that.
Made it back.
It's an understatement.
I mean, homeboy.
And people never stopped cheering for him.
Very interesting.
You know?
People were mad at DC.
They booed DC.
Yeah.
But then, John Jones, his fame went up.
Why is it?
He hit a pregnant lady, broke her arm, and ran from the scene.
It's crazy.
I don't understand.
First of all, I don't understand how you could not be a fan of DC.
I don't understand it.
I don't understand.
There's nothing wrong with him.
Like, what would you not be a fan of?
The guy's a fucking animal.
He won the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix.
Undefeated at Heavyweight.
Yeah.
I mean, he's throwing around Josh Barnett, who's a 255-pound gorilla.
Daniel Cormier's hoisting him through the air.
Spiking him on his head.
Just blam.
Like, he's macho, man.
I mean, the guy gets into MMA fairly late in his career, right?
Massively successful amateur wrestler.
Gets into MMA and says, running through people.
Has a fight, the first fight in the UFC he has against Frank fucking Mir.
Beats the brakes off of him.
Former UFC Heavyweight Champion, your first fight in the UFC.
And beats the brakes off him.
Yeah, and beats the brakes off him.
I mean, it wasn't the greatest fight, but still whooped his ass.
Yeah, I mean.
Got to underhook and did work.
It's just people, like, people got mad at him for the Anderson Silva fight.
That he, like, held Anderson Silva down.
That one bothered me a little bit, too.
Like, I can see why fans are like, come on, man.
Anderson Silva at two-day notice or whatever the hell it was.
Come on.
But Anderson front-kicked him in the gut.
Remember that?
Yeah.
Hilarious.
He heard him.
He just didn't take a chance.
Especially UFC 200, it's such a big card and there's so much hope.
When you don't perform, people are like, come on, man.
And with DC, I think the biggest thing is, and it's not his fault.
He's better than everyone in the world at light heavyweight except for Jon
Jones.
So when Jon left and he had the title, people are like, that's fake.
That's not his fault.
It's not his fault.
That's Jon.
Be mad at Jon.
Could you imagine if you could get Daniel's brain inside of Rumble's body?
Oh, my God.
That doesn't happen, right?
Isn't that interesting how that doesn't happen?
It's like Jon Jones is the closest thing to a guy who's got insane talent, but
he also
has, like, almost like that Daryl Elkins, Darren Elkins, rather, the Darren Elkins
mentality
of, like, never quit.
Remember when he got his arm hyper-extended, like, real bad by Vitor?
His arm was fucked up.
Never tapped.
You know, like, when he fought the Gustafson fight, he wasn't in shape at all.
And went five-round.
Five hard rounds.
Which, to me, was the best fight ever.
And was winning the final round.
Or how about against Ryan Bader?
Ryan Bader's freaking good.
I think at times he's ranked four or five in the world.
Doesn't even really train.
They said they saw him, like, two days.
And went in there and cradled him
