Joe Rogan Experience #607 - Joe Schilling

All right, with me today, this Friday night, you can catch him live on Spike TV,
Glory
19, right?
It's number 19?
Yes, sir.
Stitcher, my Joe Schilling, live from Los Angeles.
Welcome aboard, brother.
Pull that sucker right up to your face.
All right.
Don't be shy.
You're drinking distilled water, huh?
That's to cut weight?
Is that what that is?
Yes, sir.
How much do you cut?
I try to cut like 12 pounds of water, maybe a little less, but the process, it's
like five
gallons of water over three days.
Is there like a science to this, or is this like, does everybody do the same
thing, or
like, it seems like a lot of people have different methods on how to do this.
Yeah, a lot of people have different methods.
I read about it online probably five years ago from some wrestler, and we tried
it, and
it worked really well for me, so I just keep it the same way, but I'll do two
gallons of
water, like my weigh-ins on Thursday, so I start it on Sunday, two gallons of
distilled
water on Sunday, two gallons on Sunday, two gallons on Monday, one gallon
Tuesday to
Wednesday, and then Wednesday for 24 hours, I won't drink any water, no salt,
and it just
kind of comes right off.
So Wednesday, no water, all the way through Thursday, no water, the weigh-ins
are Thursday?
Yeah.
And because the distilled water, because the distilled water has no minerals in
it, it's
just pure water, it just flushes through your system, is that the idea behind
it?
Yeah, and it doesn't have any minerals, so your body doesn't hold on to it, and
because
it's flushing through your system, it pulls all the other minerals out with it,
so the first
two days, you're just peeing like crazy, you're sweating like crazy, you put on
deodorant,
you're still sweating like crazy, your body feels like it's over-flooded with
water, and
that last 24-hour period, it's still in that same cycle, and you're, you know,
the rest
of the water just comes right out.
Yeah, see, I would think that that would be not good for you.
Yeah, it's probably not.
Distilled water?
It just seems like, because I know my friend Aubrey, he went on this weird diet
of distilled
water, like he thought distilled water would be pure, and he started getting
dizzy and shit,
I think, and he went and got himself checked out, and they're like, dude, you
don't have
any fucking minerals in your system, like you can't be doing that.
Yeah, it's definitely not a healthy thing, it's not a, you know, I definitely
don't advocate
it for anything other than cutting weight.
What do you weigh in at?
187.
You weigh in at 187, you walk around somewhere around?
If I'm walking around, like maybe six weeks ago, I was probably like 210, 212,
you know,
if that's eating, whatever I want, you know, drinking beer, doing whatever I
want to do.
Yeah, everybody's got their own little ideas about what should be done as far
as like how
much weight to cut before you compete.
Some guys think cut the minimum amount possible, and then there's these extreme
dudes that cut
like 30, 40 pounds.
Yeah, it really comes down to everybody, and then also like your style of
fighting.
Some guys, I think, need to feel strong, a lot bigger and stronger, because
maybe they're
lacking, or because they, you know, whatever reason they need to be bigger and
stronger than
the other guy, but there's a hindrance, you know, I've cut too much weight and
over hydrated
and learned lessons that way where you're, you know, I think when I fought
Simon Marcus
the second time, when I flew to Vegas, I still had like one gallon of distilled
water I was
supposed to drink, and they wouldn't let me take it on the plane, giant gallon
of water.
And as soon as I landed, they had me doing press and stuff, and I didn't get to
drink
that last gallon of water.
So I started drinking coffee like crazy, thinking, well, that's diuretic, it'll
help me lose
the water, and when that 24-hour period came, or it was time to cut the weight,
I hadn't
really dropped anything.
I was still like 22 pounds over, so I had to cut 22 pounds in 24 hours, and it
was terrible.
It was awful.
I've seen...
You know, the first round, I came out strong, I felt really good, and then
after the second
round, it was like, it was almost like, you know when you have a dream, and you're
trying
to fight somebody, but you're laying on your arm, and you can't get the punch
off?
It was just like that, and it was a bad performance, so I learned from that one
a lot.
The point of diminishing returns, that's a big one when it comes to weight
cutting, right?
It's almost like a whole other event in itself.
There's like the fight, the training for the fight, the preparation, skills,
strength and
conditioning, all that jazz, and then there's this weight cutting thing that's
a totally
different event, and guys fail at it.
Like, this past weekend, two big, important fights, the guys failed at it.
John Lineker failed for like the fifth fucking time, the guy can't make 125,
but he wants
to be the bigger guy, you know?
He doesn't want to fight 135, and then Kelvin, Kelvin Gaslam, same thing,
couldn't make 170
for like the fourth time.
You know, it's...
I don't know how many times Kelvin's missed, not as many as Lineker, but he's,
you know,
he's cutting it close many times.
And then you got a guy like Anthony Johnson that was like really, had a really
bad reputation
in the UFC, got cut because he couldn't make weight, and then finally decided
to stick
to his natural weight, and he's killing it, you know, so it's...
Ridiculous.
It's a weird balancing act.
I think everybody has their own, you know, you got to learn your lessons and
work from
it.
There's never been a guy like Johnson, who like at 170, you know, he's a good
fighter,
very good, but struggles to make weight, and then fades late in fights because
he's depleting
the shit out of his body, goes all the way up to heavyweight and beats the shit
out of
Andrei Arlovsky, and you're like, what the fuck?
Yeah.
Heavyweight?
And then drops down to 205 to compete in the UFC, makes weight, no problem, and
is the number
one contender now.
And just terrifying.
Terrifying.
I mean, terrifying fighter.
Amazing, you know.
It's amazing how this guy, like, not torturing his body is now one of the best
fighters on
earth, whereas three years ago, he didn't have a career.
His career was fucked up.
Right.
All just because of weight cutting.
Yeah, you know, it's a...
It's a weird, weird thing, you know.
If you don't do the weight cutting, or we did, like, same-day weigh-ins, then
you still
have guys that are going to try to cut the weight and fight the same day, and
it's not
healthy, you know.
It's terrible, boy, especially striking sports.
It's terrible for you with wrestling, but guys get away with it.
But with combat sports, anytime you're involving head strikes, you really don't
have enough
time to replenish all the water that protects your brain, all the water in your
head.
And that was one of the issues that people used to have back in the old days,
where they
used to weigh in and fight on the same day.
They changed that around the Darko Kim fight, I believe.
It's also when they dropped it from 15 rounds to 12 in boxing, because they
just felt like
15's too long.
And they changed the gloves.
Heavyweights used to wear 8-ounce gloves.
Wow.
And then now it's, I think, you have to be under 145 to be in 8-ounce gloves.
Wow.
I mean, can you imagine heavyweight fighting with 8-ounce gloves?
It's basically an MMA glove, just a different style, you know.
Wow.
Well, how about the Jack Johnson days, where they used to wear those Everlast
bag gloves?
Right.
Those little tights.
They were just basically knuckle pads.
It's crazy.
Well, there's some guys that think, and I'm one of them, that MMA would
probably be more
realistic and better if no one wore gloves.
I feel like if you can knee someone in the face, elbow someone in the face,
kick someone
in the face, why you punched him in the face with gloves on, it just protects
your hands
more than anything.
And also the wrists.
Like, having your wrists taped up and nice and solid, like, it makes it so that
you can
hit people harder.
You could be much more careless with your punches.
Like, if you had bare knuckles, it would be a much more realistic, like,
scenario as far
as, like, what you can do with your body.
Right.
You're taping everything up and wrapping everything nice and tight and solid
and patting it.
And, you know, you're turning your hand to a different thing.
Right.
Well, it's like some athletic commissions allow you to tape your ankle.
Some people, some athletic commissions don't.
You know, if you watch, like, the OK ones and stuff, you'll see, like, Badr
Hari and these
guys have, like, a huge amount of padding placed over their ankle and their
foot.
Yeah.
That padding is not protecting the person they're hitting.
It's protecting you.
So if you're ripping kicks and you kick somebody in the elbow, you know, and
you have a pad
on it, it's going to protect you.
You're going to be more likely to keep kicking than if you smashed your foot in
the first
one.
Yeah.
So it's kind of interesting.
Yeah.
I think protect your tees, protect your balls.
That's it.
I think maybe that's the best way to go.
But everybody has this thing where it would look more barbaric if somehow or
another your
knuckles weren't protected.
Right.
Well, then, also, you've got to look at it from, like, a promotion standpoint.
You know, if everybody was breaking their hands in fights, you know, as a fan,
we wouldn't
get to see those fights, you know, as often as we like to see them, you know,
so.
That is true.
And then you talk about, like, the impact on the problems with brain damage and,
you know,
the side effects for guys after their career.
Can you imagine if we had even less padding on our hands and, you know, it's.
Well, they think that there would be actually less brain damage because guys
wouldn't get
hit as much.
You'd have to be much more judicious with where you placed your punches.
And, you know, because of the fact that you, you know, if you hit somebody in
the forehead,
you're most likely going to snap your knuckles.
Right.
You'd be a little bit more careful.
I don't know.
It's a weird argument.
Yeah.
It's like the same argument with football.
They've said that if football players didn't have pads, didn't have helmets, it
would be
a safer game for the players.
But, of course, with football, they're not punching each other in the face.
Yeah.
And there's always going to be that one guy that, like, just like the one guy
that did
same day weigh in.
There's always going to be that one guy that thinks he can still cut 30 pounds
and fight
the day of.
Yeah.
And he dies.
Yeah.
The one guy that doesn't care and keeps hitting the person when his hand's
broken.
You know, it's a.
Yeah.
That's true.
That's true.
So you were in camp with Nick Diaz in preparation for his fight this past
weekend with Anderson
Silva, which was an amazing fight.
You know, and I've been thinking a lot about that fight after it was over.
And one of the things that really, really, like, locked into my head was there's
a lot
of people that are calling for Anderson to retire now.
You know, and they're saying that, you know, and even Chris Weidman is one of
them.
He said he'd like to see Anderson retire.
But I watched the fight and I was thinking about myself after the fight.
Like, Nick and Silva, that was a better fight than Nick and Carlos Condit.
It was a better fight than GSP and Nick.
Like, these are, these are, it was a good fight.
Right.
It was a good, competitive, exciting fight.
And, you know, Anderson Silva fighting Nick Diaz is a tough motherfucker.
He's a good fighter.
He's very smart and very crafty.
And I think that, you know, like, the guy coming off of those two fights, it's
almost
like just we expect more of him than of just a regular fighter.
Like, if that was GSP in his prime and he put on the exact same performance,
and if
you just, you know, CGI GSP
