Joe Rogan Experience - #821 & Fight Companion - Joey Diaz

I
Get so pumped up for these
Fight companion if you've never heard one of these before ladies and gentlemen
I'll probably explain this in the introduction for the people that have to
listen to the audio version of it only
We just watch fights and we talk shit. We may or may not discuss the actual
fight itself
Most the time we don't but today it's with the great Joey
Motherfucking Diaz. Thank you for having me. Thanks for being here, brother. I'm
excited. I'm excited about our show at the car theater tomorrow night
Yes, out of all the fights on the card
Dos Anjos
Alvarez was the fight really that was my for the whole weekend the whole
weekend. I didn't know when it was I thought it was on the undercard
I didn't know what it was
Yeah, this one tonight. I've been waiting for it. This to me is a fucking barn
burner
I'm looking forward to it for sure because Alvarez is very tough and he makes
every fight tough
He's a tough dude, and I think he's gonna have a real good game plan coming in
I think he's gonna be as prepared as you've ever gonna see him because you've
seen him off some hard fights in the UFC
you know he had a
That war with Cowboy Cerrone got got lit up especially his leg got his leg kick
He just got introduced to the next level of MMA but coming off of a victory
like that over Pettis and he beat Gilbert too and
He had a fight through adversity in the Gilbert Melendez fight. He had a
seriously fucked up. I remember his eyes. Yes
Yes, that's right. He's a tough. He's a tough dude
You gotta you know, you got to put him away man, and that's tough to fucking do
He's as game as they get but this dude is special this Dos Anjos is special
He's um, he's hit a very high level over the last couple years and
He's his skill level is higher than it's ever been. It's like a
Bunch of different things coming together one. It's Hafeo Cordero
Hafeo Cordero is such a good coach the coach of Kings MMA the one the original
guys from shoot the box in
Curitiba Brazil
Those guys were so badass. I mean he's from such a badass lineage. He's from
the early days of
Ninja and Anderson Silva and he's the guy who took Fabricio Verdum
From a guy who really wasn't a striker at all just a jiu-jitsu artist and he
Brought him to the heavyweight title and now you look at Fabricio striking he
made a big mistake obviously in the Stipe Miocic fight
But I think Stipe Miocic is a bad motherfucker if he catches you he catches you
You know
He tried to go to war with Stipe and Stipe just was better at moving away and
countering him and he got careless and left some openings
And it could have been because he was in Brazil. He was a real emotional, you
know, who knows he fucked up and Stipe's a bad motherfucker
So those two are bad combination together, but that said you look at like Verdum
striking against Travis Brown's excellent his strike against Cain Velasquez
It's excellent excellent long snaps that jab out keeps you to distance throws
hard kicks because he wants you to take him down
How about that? He wants you put him on his back. Good luck with that
Good luck with the nastiest guard the heavyweight division has ever seen
arguably
He's a motherfucker. I mean Frank Mir snapped arms
I mean you got to go with like if you want to look at it like effective
Submissions in the heavyweight division in MMA
It's tough to not give the nod to Frank Mir tapped Lesnar with a knee bar
Snapped Minotaro's arm snapped him Sylvia's arm
Just maybe not for his overall career because he's definitely had ups and downs,
but been in some amazing fights
But his submission victories are fucking horrendous. He breaks bones man
Who the fuck else breaks bones Frank Mir is breaking bones with arm bars
breaking bones with Kim or he broke fucking Minotaro's arm
Snapped it in half where he was looking over at it like holy shit
so it's hard not to give the nod to
To Frank Mir when it comes to like overall MMA guard skill, but that said
Man the technical ability
That Verdum has is off the charts the way he wraps you up is so neat
He just tucks everything tight like that Fedor arm bar. Oh my god
I mean he just slapped that on him or Fedor was stuck in that guard
And you could see in his eyes. He was like oh shit like this is like the water's
heavier. I can't drink it
Okay, I can't I can't get up to get where the air is. Holy shit. Just get
crushed into those legs
He's fucking huge - he's a giant guy. I'm gonna go legit
240 doesn't really have to lift much to be like 240. He's a huge guy
For dooms no joke man, so for steep a meal chick to take him out like that fuck
that was a victory
And to do it in Brazil that must have been nuts man
That was like 40,000 people or something crazy, right? It was a soccer stadium
Jesus he went he didn't give a fuck there was zero fucks given him
In mail chase world there was zero fucks. He had no idea he was in Brazil
Well, he's that dude is as legit as they get his mindset is so strong
He's so calm. He's so calm right before he throws down man
And you know what more now than ever because he's been there and done that that
war that he had with Junior dos Santos
I mean that was a fucking war
Experience is a motherfucking list of it in this UFC and an MMA experience is
it man
Yeah, it is it but he's also got a lot of skill and he's getting better
That's the other thing about Stipe Stipe is getting better. I mean he's always
been a motherfucker
But he's better now than he's ever been better mentally stronger more steady
like everything about him is better
Now he has what's his name in Cleveland when Alistair
Over him in October. Oh, September September something like that September I
think September in Cleveland
Oh, you want to go barn burner like how I don't know what the date is
Let's do it. Let's do a show on Friday night. My October is jacked. I'm sound.
There's a jack. It's you goddamn popular
No, no, no, no, I do the every other week thing
But the nose the special everything is just falling and you know, it's just a
October 15th. I shoot so
Everything is wrapped around that pretty much beautiful
But Cleveland's that's gonna be fun and they're the people that are gonna be
there to support Stipe because right now
I mean, they've got basketball and now they've got the UFC heavyweight champion
put the show together. I'm open
You're open. I'm open. I think I'm open
Saturday September 10th. I think I'm open so the Friday the 9th would be where
we do the show
Beautiful. Let's do it. I think I'll find something there. That's a crazy fight,
too
That's an interesting fight because Alistair has been fighting very smart
lately
Man, he's just put it together really nicely in his last few fights. Is he
still a Jackson's? Yes, he's still a Jackson's I
Think part time pretty sure I'm pretty sure he's still a Jackson's the thing
about him again
He was you know in pride and all that stuff. He was the heavyweight channel the
champion and kickboxing
You know there comes a time in your life when you put the pieces together and
we're starting to see it now
Yep, from Alistair to Nate Diaz
To all these fighters that years ago
They lost one, you know didn't who did he lose to he lost to Clay Guida
Broken jaw yeah, you know and look what he's gone on to do crazy
So it's they put it all together. There's it's like when a comedian gets a show
You know how hard it is for a comedian to get a show?
All the stars have to be aligned, right, you know everything has to be in order
everything just to get it on right
That's a complete everybody gets pilots every year
But just to really get to that high level that you're talking about takes years
You know, maybe you maybe Cordero when he went to Cordero's Cordero put it all
together
The jiu-jitsu and the boxing or the kickboxing put it all together. It
definitely is a big part of it
It's a big part of it. You know what else is a big part of it his strength and
conditioning program
He's one of those guys who trains under Nick Kurson. You do you know Nick Kurson?
No, sir. Nick Kurson is he's one of the students of Marv Marinovich. You know
the Marv Marinovich and Todd Marinovich story
Yeah, and Marv Marinovich was a world-famous strength and conditioning coach
with like some seriously unconventional wild ideas that were very very
effective
effective and
he trained BJ Penn for a couple camps and
Nick Kurson is one of his disciples and Nick Kurson handles Dos Anjos and quite
a few other guys Ruslan
Providenikov, how do you say his name?
Ruslan Providenikov. Providenikov, right? I'm so high
Definitely shouldn't be doing this podcast right now
Providenikov
The Siberian Rocky, you know the guy I'm talking about. He trains that guy too
and Joe Schilling
He's done some work with Joe. He's a really good strength and conditioning guy
and
Cardero and the combination of like high-level MMA high-level jiu-jitsu and
this
Radical strength and conditioning program these guys do all these plyometrics
It's all these box jumps everything's like exploding and resting everything's
like very carefully monitored
It's really interesting stuff man. Do a lot of stuff with your feet. That's one
thing that he said that kind of blew my mind
I was like, yeah, I didn't even think of that. He goes I go
What's the most important thing like what do you work on a guy the most when
you first start training him and he's like their feet?
He's like foot strength is like one of the biggest
Like weaknesses that a lot of fighters have like their feet will get tired and
so you don't push off
You can't push off as hard you can't move as well
Your footwork starts to suck. You can't explode in or out when you see a guy
who's got
Real good footwork and like this the ability to dive in and out and move very
well and fast
You realize what a giant advantage that is like Connor does it so well
Lyoto did it so well wonder boy does it so well. Oh shit Joe Duffy
Joe Duffy banging on Mitch Clark Joe Duffy very upset
Coming into this fight after losing a Dustin Poirier. He's got a rear naked
choke on him Clark taps Wow beautiful
Joe Duffy's a bad motherfucker. He was a bad motherfucker, but you know he ran
into Poirier when Poirier had
Finally figured out that 155 was the healthy weight class for him that was just
killing himself making that 145. Look, he's a big boy
You're standing next to Dustin Poirier. He's a big dude. He's a big dude. He's
a big dude to get down 145 pounds
These guys that do that man there are
When did he fight last he looked really fucking good fought Bobby Green knocked
him out really good
TKO'd him I should say and his stand-up looked excellent excellent excellent.
He's so sharp and
Real fluid was combinations and all the guys that McGregor beat up
Those first two or three guys
Really have turned Holloway max Holloway is a killer. Oh max Holloway is on
fire. He's the killer Dennis Seavers somewhere banging on a cage right now
You know Dennis Seavers the only one that hasn't showed what happened after McGregor,
but yeah
Well Dennis Seaver took a bad beating in that fight. I remember watching that
fight going all this is uh
It was a Dennis Seaver. I think that first of all Conor is just better than him
Conor's faster. He's bigger
Hits hard as fuck. He's 30 years younger. Yeah, and it's missed the miles
Seavers had some wars inside the cage
You know you go back and watch some of Seavers fights then think about the
camps that he had and preparing for those fights
Then think about the fucking wars that he must have had in the camps and you
look at all that miles
So it's like you see a guy like Conor beat a guy like Seaver
It just sort of confirms what you already know is that Conor's the truth
You know he is that goddamn good because it was a beating, you know, it was
just see and Seavers got an interesting style
It's hard. It's hard to beat him up standing because Seaver throws hard shots
and he's got that weird karate style
One kick is like that. Yeah, but it just was not when I first met John Anik. He
didn't have gray hair
