Joe Rogan Experience - Fight Companion - February 22, 2015

Hey, none of that. Come on.
Yeah, we're live. All right, fight day, folks.
Fight Companion Podcast.
If you listen to this podcast and think, oh, here's another pod.
What is a Fight Companion Podcast?
Fight Companion Podcast is a podcast that we do while we're watching the UFC.
So if you're tuning into it, what it's like is it's like you're watching the
fights with friends
that you don't really know.
But there you go.
So Brendan Schaub is here, ladies and gentlemen.
Motherfucking Big Brown in the house.
Yeah.
Brian Callen is here, ladies and gentlemen.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Can't wait.
Oh, yeah.
And of course, Edgy Bra, also known as Eddie Bravo.
Edgy Bra.
That's what they thought when we were in Brazil.
That's what they called.
Joe Marrera.
It was Joe Marrera.
That was the first giant tournament that there was in L.A.
Joe Marrera, he was the main promoter.
And in my division, there was 45 guys.
We're all blue belts in my division.
And you have to sit there and listen to him call out everyone's name.
And I'm sitting there.
I'm waiting for him to call my name.
He looks at the clipboard.
Then he looks up.
Edgy Bra.
I'm standing right in front of him.
I'm standing right in front of him.
I'm like, man, when are they going to call my name?
Edgy Bra.
I'm like, fuck.
And then someone would say, dude, I think he's saying your name.
No way.
I could never guess your nationality, by the way.
I'm looking at you right now.
Never.
Very exotic.
I was just in Mexico.
And I was leaving.
You had to go through Mexican customs.
Yeah.
And the guy looked at my passport.
Just today.
He looked at my passport.
It says, Edgar Alberto Bravo.
He looks at it.
Tu eres Latino?
I go, and I had to speak Spanish.
My Spanish sucks, but I can say,
Nací en Los Ángeles, pero mi papá es de Chihuahua y mamá de Guadalajara.
I can say that.
Not bad.
It sounds like I speak really good Spanish.
Yes, it does.
I got that mastered.
I've said that a million times.
I got that shit wired.
So I said that, and he was convinced, and just stamped my shit.
You look Thai.
Let's be honest.
He's a japa ho.
You're a muscular Thai man.
He could definitely be like some expat dad went over there with PTSD.
100%.
Fuck some unfortunate Thai lady.
He grew up in a Filipino.
Remember when they shipped the Filipinos in in the 80s?
Sure.
In the late 70s?
I was part of the shipment.
No, but I was born there.
Does anybody know these guys?
Sean Strickland, who we're looking at right now.
Yeah.
I was hitting himself.
Strickland, undefeated.
He's a cutie.
And Santiago.
Boy, they got his name blocked off.
Good job, UFC fucking website designers.
He looks like he's in a different weight class.
He put the guy's head in front of his fucking name.
20th.
Yeah.
That's a B.
20th record.
Santiago.
How do you say his name?
Ponzinibu.
Ponzinibu.
Ponzinibu.
Is he from Brazil?
Everyone, it's going to be like a lot of people from Brazil because his card is
live from Brazil.
So if you're tuning in and you're trying to figure out how the fuck do we sync
it up because the internet is always going to be a few seconds slower than live
action.
So what we're seeing and what you're seeing is going to be a little different.
So pause your TV.
That's the best way.
Pause your TV and like maybe count to 10.
And I'm going to tell you exactly when I see five minutes on the first round.
It's about to start now.
It says 458 right now.
457, 456, 455.
There you go.
All right.
We're synced up.
Ponzinibu and Strickland.
Whoa.
Remember there was only three or four Brazilian fighters and now there's
hundreds of thousands.
Do you know how many fighters are in the UFC roster now?
Take a guess.
80, 500.
Yeah, he's right.
500.
Wow.
Isn't that insane?
What?
500.
Yeah.
And that really is Ponzinibu with the right hand.
That expanded.
That's not a joke.
Strickland with a nice uppercut.
How do they have?
I thought they had like maybe 100 people on their roster, period.
No, no.
They've had a few hundred for a while.
They've had like 250, 300.
But now, you know, also, I think that with Bellator out there, they've got to
make sure they scoop up the young talent as it's coming up.
Because what if Bellator gets a hold of a Jon Jones before the UFC does?
Trouble.
And they've got some guy over there just ragdolling people and Jon Jones in
them.
And you go, oh, fuck.
We missed that guy.
You remember probably like two years ago when they were making crazy cuts?
Because they had to get rid of 100 guys in like a certain amount of time.
And dudes were just getting cut.
Yeah, like Jon Fitch and those guys.
Well, Jon Fitch got cut.
Oh, big left hook by Ponzinibu.
Strickland, very experienced, man.
Look at him hang on.
Very smart.
Yeah.
You know how they showed the records, 15 and 0, and the other guys 20 and 2?
You really don't know guys' records these days.
Why do you say that?
Because I feel like in boxing, you look more at records.
I feel like in MMA.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
No one cares about records.
I really don't.
Oh, I see what you're saying.
I see what you're saying.
Like, you know the stars.
I was confused.
I thought you were saying like they might not, it might be a bullshit record.
No, no, no, no.
No, you're saying most people don't know.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know anybody's record.
You just know the fire.
I don't know anybody's record.
Like, I couldn't tell you Big Not's record.
But in boxing, were you a boxing fan?
Oh, yeah.
When you're a boxing fan, you have to know everybody's record.
Yeah.
You have to.
You're right.
33 and 1 with 24 knockouts.
That's weird, right?
You had to fucking knock.
You had to know everybody in the top 10.
It was just, did you go to the, did you open up the box and open up the ring
and go right
to the standings, like top 10 of every division?
I would just stare at that shit and try to memorize it.
Did you guys see Gennady Golovkin last night?
Yeah, Triple G.
Yeah.
He's a beast, right?
Why is it three G's?
What's the third G?
Great Gennady Golovkin?
Is that it?
No, I think Triple G.
I think in, uh, he's from, uh, Kajakistan.
Well, there's no such thing as Kajakistan, but.
What is it?
But it is in that area.
Brian just got offended.
He got offended.
Oh, I'm sorry, Brian.
He treated you like you're an idiot who's, like, giving a speech in front of
his class.
I looked up at the sky when I said it.
Oh, there's no such thing.
Why are you wearing a scarf, by the way?
Because I'm French.
Why do you?
I'm keeping my throat warm.
100% your wife dressed you before you got here.
That's a lie.
That's a lie.
100%.
I just, it's cashmere.
It's a cashmere.
It's cashmere neck wrap.
I don't care if it's made out of leopards.
Oh, Strickland's tag.
Ponce and Ivo's in trouble, man.
Strickland, I've not stopped looking at his hair.
It's beautiful.
I'm really attracted to him.
I mean.
He's making this motherfucker work, I'll tell you that.
He's tough.
He keeps mixing up from punches to takedowns, and he's putting a lot of
pressure on this
guy.
A lot taller.
He looks Polish.
Strickland?
Right?
Yeah.
He could be anything American.
Yeah.
He could be from Georgia.
He could be French, I hate to tell you.
He could be from France.
He could be from Czechoslovakia.
He could be from Kyrgyzstan.
He could be from Kyrgyzstan.
I think he could have a last name, like Zanjicic.
Alley!
Johanna Zanjicic.
I think Gennady Golovkin's from Kyrgyzstan.
That might be right.
Joe, did you watch the fight, though?
I didn't watch it.
I was working last night.
Have you seen the fight before?
Yeah, I love that guy.
He's a beast, right?
I love that guy.
Oh, head kick by Ponzinibo.
Everyone wants to see him versus Andre Ward next.
Oh, yeah.
That's a great fight.
I don't think Andre Ward's going to take it.
Damn.
Why would he take it?
Kovalev, you mean, or Kovalev?
No, Andre Ward.
Dude, look at this.
Look what's going on.
Ponzinibo going off.
This is like Roberto fucking Duran over here.
Crazy fight.
Fingers in the neck, too.
Look at this shit.
He's going crazy.
Fuck, dude.
Oh, that was a hard right hand, dude.
Something woke his ass up.
Look at him.
Yeah, I don't know what it is, but there's a minute to go,
and he's still fucking going at it.
He's like Rocky Graziano.
I can't hear the crowd, but I bet they're going nuts.
Which one was the good one, Graziano or Marciano?
A little volume on the TV, young Jamie.
Hey, fuck, what were we just talking about?
Andre Ward?
Yeah.
Why wouldn't Andre Ward take that fight?
Because we know Triple G, but I don't think Triple G is that big of a star in
the States.
First of all, Triple G is also a lot lighter.
No, he's not.
No, he's not.
No, he's not.
Shut the fuck up.
Because Kovalev is the one who's going to fight.
Dude, dude, dude.
You're out of your lane.
160, 168, 175.
There's three different weight classes they all have one.
Andre Ward, 168.
Golovkin, 160.
Kovalev, 175.
Oh, Kovalev is 175?
Are you guys talking about boxing?
Yes.
Oh, really?
Wow, you guys still pay attention?
He's a light heavyweight.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
He wants to fight Miguel Cotto.
That's what he wants.
Kovalev does?
No.
Andre Ward does.
Triple G wants to fight Miguel Cotto.
You guys are really into boxing, like for real, huh?
Yeah, man.
You know what?
I should probably say that on the podcast because a bunch of people asked me
because a long time
ago, I got in this debate on ESPN with that fucking Lou DiBella guy.
I saw that.
The only reason why I went on that guy like that, two reasons.
One, because the UFC wanted me to.
Two.
They sicked me on this guy because they knew this guy talks a lot of shit about
the UFC.
And he just started doing all the dough.
You could trust Joe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What killed him is Joe goes like this.
No doubt.
Joe goes like this.
On that interview, Joe goes, the fact is that boxing is getting swallowed.
It's getting swallowed.
You used the word swallow.
I said your sport's getting swallowed by a more dynamic sport.
Yeah.
You know, but I've always been a boxing fan, just like I'm a kickboxing fan,
just like
I'm a straight jiu-jitsu fan.
I'm a fan of all martial arts.
No, but you're a fan.
I'm just not a fan of dummies.
But you know a lot of dummies.
You know a lot about what's going on in boxing.
Oh, yeah.
All I know is Matt Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather are going to fight.
They're going to make a billion dollars, right?
Well, Golovkin's a really fascinating guy because he's one of the best fighters
in the
world, and very few people know who he is.
Outside of, like, hardcore MMA fans, everybody knows who Floyd Mayweather is.
Everybody knows who Manny Pacquiao is.
Those are the two guys.
But Gennady Golovkin is a fucking murderous puncher.
I mean, ooh, with the toast.
Body shots.
White guy?
Yeah, from Russia.
Beautiful, little cutie, little handsome fella.
White guy.
He looks like the power?
A white guy's in the mix with these Floyd Mayweather types?
It's Russians, man.
Kovalev is also a Russian.
Black friend Klitschko.
These murderous punchers from Russia.
Klitschko's are still good right now.
Dude, Vladimir Klitschko hasn't been beaten in 10 years.
Not even close.
But is he fighting the best heavyweights?
Yep.
Knocks them out.
There's no really good heavyweights where he destroys them.
Yeah.
You don't hear about these fights.
But he's light years ahead of them.
How come you don't hear about these fights?
Because his fights are so dominant, and he's boring.
He boxes them.
He just jabs them to death.
I love it.
He's great.
I will watch his fight.
And he's fighting the biggest, strongest, fastest.
He can't touch them.
That Russian dude made him go to war, though.
That Russian dude he fought made him go to war.
He got dealt with him in the first round.
True.
He got dealt with.
He's fighting the best black dudes?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
He's fighting the best to everybody.
Yeah.
He fights.
His next fight is a black guy.
Let's just be honest about some shit.
Russians are different white people.
Okay?
They're not the Samirite.
They just are different white people.
Siberian.
I'd al
