Joe Rogan Experience - Fight Companion - January 29, 2017

Everybody be really careful we don't talk over each other because, um, you know,
it's fucking, it's hard not to. There's six of us here.
Yeah, Brian.
Alright.
You're live.
Yeah, Brian.
Okay, we're live, you fucking freaks.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is an unprecedented podcast.
This is the first time we've ever done an after-the-fact podcast.
Brendan Schaub and I know all the goddamn results.
Jeez, I know anybody else.
Brian knows one result.
Eddie knows none.
Robin...
I know him all.
He knows him all.
I'm the only one?
Yeah, you're the only one.
So it's beautiful.
So no one's gonna cheat.
We're not gonna, we're not gonna put...
Make picks.
But we decided, we got a bunch of people here.
Jimmy Burke's here.
Our friend Jimmy Burke from New York was in town for Brian's birthday party
last night.
That's right.
Eddie Bravo's here, of course.
Brian Callen's here.
Brendan Schaub.
Robin Black's in town.
So Robin Black's here.
So it's gonna be a lot of talking over each other, folks.
Okay?
Just deal with that.
Just deal with that.
We're gonna watch the fights and...
You've been warned.
It's like a bukkake set in here.
If you're expecting any of us to, like, constantly watch the fights only and
not...
That's not gonna happen either.
So there's no rules.
Okay?
Whatever expectations you have, release those or whatever, you know?
Release them.
Release them.
All right.
Right now, we're playing it.
We're gonna start it.
And we recorded it.
So this is the first time we've got a recording, and we're gonna watch the
fights.
I'm gonna fast forward to the...
When should I fast forward?
I should fast forward to the first fight, right?
Yeah.
Just enjoy it.
Just let it run.
You guys have already seen it anyways.
Let's watch the commercials, all that shit.
Oh, I'm excited about this one.
But the problem is we can't really play it out loud where we can hear it on the
podcast.
I know.
But that's what I'm saying.
So we might as well just fast forward through all this nonsense.
Just to the fights.
Yeah, you don't watch all this pregame bullshit.
It's kind of like porn.
So there's some good fights in this fucking card.
There's good fights in actuality and good fights on...
Oh, shit.
Masvidal.
Masvidal and Cowboy.
Dude.
Yeah.
Dude.
Damn, and he really doesn't know the result.
I love this.
I love the just...
Man.
I had to watch that fight.
I just had to.
I've been out of the loop.
I want to hear...
I can't wait for your breakdown, Robin Black.
So here we go.
We're fast forwarding through John Anik and his super metrosexual tie selection.
I love it.
I love that tie.
Oh, wow.
The Moroccan purple ties.
I love them.
Maybe it's...
For an homage to Prince.
So we'll fast forward through this.
I go pink tie on pink shirt.
Yeah, why not, man?
So the first fight is Alex Caceres versus...
What's homeboy's name that he fights?
Oh, he fights a dude from Alan Belcher's camp.
He's a wild man.
The Red Knight.
Jason Knight.
Jason Knight.
Jason Knight, that's it.
That's right.
He's fucking good.
Yeah, he's very good and he's crazy.
And he's got a really good guard, too.
He talks mad shit inside the octagon, too.
He had this fight and he was screaming at this dude going, come on, man.
Take me down.
No, you want to take me down?
You want to stand with me, bitch?
Yeah, he said, you know you want to take me down, bitch?
Do it.
Do it.
I was like, damn.
Hilarious.
Hilarious.
That came out on the broadcast?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I was laughing while it was happening because I was doing the commentary
while I was going
down.
Not during this broadcast.
It was another broadcast.
This fight is with him and Alex Caceres.
So this is like kind of a sleeper of a fight.
Yeah, cool fight.
All right, here we go.
Boom.
All right, so for the folks at home, what we'll do is when the first fight
starts, right
now they're showing the side-by-side comparisons, the heights and weights and
jazz.
Tale of the Tape, and now Bruce Buffer's doing a little introduction here.
Why do they call it the Tale of the Tape?
It's been that for 50 years.
Uh-uh.
Somebody invented that.
That was new ones.
Well, you know what's weird, man?
How come they stopped measuring legs?
They measured legs for a little while, and then they stopped measuring legs.
They were doing it.
It's only weeks.
The tape is measuring tape.
Yeah, straight.
In boxing, they measured legs?
No, no, in MMA, we were always complaining.
With Jon Jones, you're not fighting his arms.
You're fighting his arms and his fucking legs, and he's so tall.
A lot of guys.
A lot of guys.
It was Joe Silva who asked for a leg reach, I think.
Yes.
Yeah.
Joe asked for a lot of shit.
He's the reason why Mickey Gall's, hey, Mickey, you're so fine, you're so fine,
you're
boom on my head.
Oh, got passed, right?
That's how it got on the broadcast, because Dana White was like, fuck that.
You can't play that song for Mickey Gall when he fought CM Punk.
You know Dana's so particular.
He goes through all the walkout songs before because he loves music.
He shot one of my walkout songs down, the night before the fight.
What was the song?
It was, I forget, it was in Brazil.
It was some cool song.
I thought it was cool.
It was like a dance song.
And I get a call, and my coach is like, hey, it's Dana White.
I'm like, oh shit, what's going on?
Am I getting a bonus early or something?
Because I thought I was going to knock Nogueira out.
I'm like, just give it to me now.
And he's like, hey, that walkout song's not happening.
Pick something else.
I was like, yes, sir.
He didn't play Girl for me.
This is not a bonus.
What did you pick?
Eminem Square Dance.
Oh, okay.
All right, Alex Caceres and Jason Knight, 457, 456, 455, 454, 453.
All right, sync it up.
Caceres just shoveled the left hand right away.
Oh, good inside leg kick by Caceres.
Caceres is super underrated.
You've got to remember what Yair Rodriguez did to BJ Penn
and then think of him and Caceres.
They essentially fought to basically what might have been a draw.
That's a style matchup, though, don't you think?
In a lot of ways.
Because for me with Bruce Leroy, I like him.
He's fun to watch.
He's so hot and cold.
He's on, he's off.
He's on, he's off.
Greg Jackson used Leroy for most of the sparring rounds for BJ.
No kidding.
Yeah, he was his main sparring guy, and he was doing great with him.
I actually thought BJ did very well in the first two minutes.
The difference between what Yair does and Alex does is Alex's strikes,
they come in high volume, interesting angles.
He's very creative, but they're not instantaneously lethal.
Yair can fuck you up with one shot.
He makes him kill.
He's on queer street.
Is he the greatest kicker in MMA history?
You know what?
You've got to see him.
You've got to see him against a world-class Muay Thai guy.
That's what you've got to see.
I see him in the UFC.
Because right now, we don't see him.
That's what I'm seeing.
Greatest of all time.
Every now and then, someone lands a Kung Fu kick.
Put your headsets on, Eddie.
Every now and then, someone lands one of those Kung Fu kicks.
Every now and then.
He lands multiple every fight.
Greatest of all times.
Who's done that?
Who's landed?
Wonder Boy Johnson.
Those are Jet Li kicks that he is landing.
Nobody else is landing Jet Li kicks.
Who's doing that?
BJ Penn always fights from a boxing distance.
In a lot of ways, his style is tailor-made.
He's an older guy.
He hasn't fought in two-plus years.
Before that, he got worked by Frankie Edgar.
So you're talking about a BJ Penn that's been seriously out of the loop for a
long time.
And then he steps in there against this fucking bandolero.
Yeah.
This dude throwing 360 round kicks.
I mean, his style, like, it was almost like everything was tailor-suited for Yair
Rodriguez.
You know what I'm recommending for my fighters?
Yeah.
I'm recommending them talking.
I told a couple of them that they should start just doing a local Sunday Taekwondo
class.
That's a good idea.
Just like once a week just to get the spins down.
We know it works.
We know it's effective.
Look, Yair's proven it.
Every MMA fighter out there should be emulating Yair, right?
Yeah, I agree.
I think the days of coming out, and of course, I don't know anything about
striking, but the
days of coming out and just boxing and throwing a leg kick every now and then,
I think that's not going to work in the future.
It's not going to work against a guy like Yair.
Look at Jon Jones.
Look at Conor McGregor.
You see these guys throwing all those Taekwondo Kung Fu kicks successfully.
If you're an MMA fighter up there, you coming up, I think you should start
taking Taekwondo now.
I think you got a good point, but I think if you watch Glory, there's a good
fight that I talked
about recently because I got Joseph Valtellini on.
He used to be Glory.
Yeah, George Wicked.
He's Wicked.
I love that guy.
Wicked kickboxing champion.
Really good guy, too.
But anyway, he fought Raymond Daniels.
He's one of the best at throwing those wild, crazy fucking kicks.
Oh, Leroy's looking good, man.
Yeah, I mean, what Raymond Daniels did inside the octagon or inside the Glory
ring, he threw
a flying sidekick, touched the dude, and then spinning back kicked him in the
air in the face.
Oh, so there's guys like that in Glory.
Uh-huh.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, Raymond Daniels is a wild motherfucker.
But anyway, Valtellini.
So you would see him doing the same kind of stuff that Yair Rodriguez does.
You would say, oh my God, if this guy gets in the UFC, he's going to fuck
everybody up.
But Joseph Valtellini just chopped him down.
Fundamentals.
Pressure, too.
Pressure, really strong physical guy, high guard, super tight defense, and just
kept kicking
the fuck out of his legs.
You've got to do both, though.
And then he finally headcashed them.
Western boxing, Muay Thai, Taekwondo mix.
No, I totally agree with you.
But what I'm saying is we need to see a Yair against a guy like a Niki Holtzkin
or a guy
like a Joseph Valtellini, who's, they have that super powerful low kick
fundamental game.
We don't have a lot of guys that are that strong at that inside the octagon.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Joe would mutilate him.
Joe Valtellini would just rip him.
Now, MMA is a different thing.
But if they kickbox, Joe would just destroy him.
Well, Joe's way larger than him, so it's not a good matchup, period.
Speak-wise, though, in fundamentals.
Valtellini's just on another level when it comes to his kickbox, his leg kicks.
Are you serious?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, here's...
No, but we're only talking kickboxing.
We're only talking kickboxing.
Just kickboxing.
I think I'm talking...
Yeah, I get what you're saying.
See, but when you see...
But he's landing it, so when I...
Right, but against BJ.
Against BJ.
Yes, but in MMA with the threat of being taken down.
Yeah, he's making it work.
There's a threat of being taken down.
Yes, that's true.
You know what I mean?
Right.
So, you could do wild shit in kickboxing, because there's no threat of getting
choked out.
That's true.
So, I'm thinking...
But those guys are way better, too.
They're way better at leg kicks.
Way higher level.
The reason these things are...
But in a real fight, though, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah, he's better, because he's doing it in a real fight, so he's better.
He's better.
Oh, that's nice.
Jason Knight taking it back.
Oh, look at this.
13 seconds, though.
You got time.
Not enough time.
Man, this is a good fight, though.
What?
What?
Oh, he's in deep.
Great body lock.
No, no, no.
He's pushing up on the chin.
He's on the chin.
He's on the chin.
He should dance severing him right there.
Oh.
Well, look at someone threw a card in the octagon, man.
Crazy.
A card?
It's dicks.
Yeah, someone threw, like, a business card in the octagon.
That's weird.
Eddie, I think the reason you're seeing these kicks work is because guys weren't
training them.
If everybody's training the same shit, you're supposed to do something
different.
Everybody in the gym, they're training jab, cross, low kick, low kick, left
hook.
They'r
