JRE MMA Show #177 - Protect Ya Neck

Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
Hello, boys.
My bad.
Good to see you.
We're back in action.
We're back.
We're back.
We were just talking and I told Rollo to get off.
I told Rollo, save this for the air.
Because Rollo years ago, shit, this had to be like at least 10 years ago.
20.
20 years ago?
That was like 2006, 2007.
That's crazy.
So 20 years ago, Rollo calls me up and he says, Tommy Lee wants to meet you.
He wants to talk to you about something.
I go, okay, sure.
So we go to see his concert.
That was when he was at Rock and Roll Supernova, the TV show.
Yeah, it was a TV show.
That's right.
So he had a TV show.
It was at Long Beach.
Right, right.
It was a good show.
You and Eddie came.
Me and Eddie Bravo came.
And then afterwards, first of all, Tommy Lee has the dopest green room.
Like he sets his green room up like a fucking after-hours party.
He's got like tapestries on the wall and candles and lights.
Yeah, you're walking like, damn.
His DJ gear.
Yeah, he doesn't just walk into a cold green room.
Like I'm lazy.
Right, he got it.
Yeah.
If I go on the road, I just go, what's your green room?
I'll go hang out in there.
It's like it doesn't just walk.
But he has it set up.
Like everywhere is like calm and relaxing and spiritual.
And so I meet Tommy.
And Tommy wants a fight kid rocking the UFC.
This is true.
What makes people think they can do this?
It's for Pam Anderson's heart.
Yeah.
Well, this is how it started.
This is kind of how it started.
That was that way with Pam.
Like, you know, they both were married to her.
So Tommy and her are always going to be connected because of the kids.
So she had split up with Kid Rock and Kid Rock was emailing her, texting her, I
guess,
you know, still trying to get with her.
Tommy is with her.
Not together, but, you know, they were together that day.
And he, she asked him, you know, you're friends with him.
Can you call him and tell him to stop calling me and shit?
And Tommy's like, I don't want to get in the middle of that shit.
Oh, boy.
And she's like, you know, if, you know, please.
So he winds up hitting, you know, him up and like, look, dude, you know, I don't
really
want to make this call, blah, blah, blah.
Of course, Kid Rock took the heat.
Fuck you, you know, blah, blah.
So they're fucking each other back and forth.
Goes away.
Now, there was some MTV Awards thing.
And actually, let me back up first.
We were in Vegas for a New Year's thing.
And there was this rumor that Kid Rock was supposed to come with his bodyguard.
And, like, and come to Tommy's room and attack him.
So me, my man Kimo, who you know as well, you know, we're sleeping in Tommy's
room hoping
they show up.
And, of course, they go to a different room.
They do go to a room, kick a door in.
I think totally for...
So they actually went looking for him?
For real?
I don't think they went looking for him.
I think it was a big publicity fucking stunt.
Busted up the wrong room.
They signed some autographs and they keep it moving.
So I'm saying to Tommy, I go, yo, dude.
I go, fuck him.
I go, you should fight him on pay-per-view.
Imagine all the money that would make.
I go, I'll fight his fucking security guy.
Like, we'll fucking make a whole thing of it.
And he goes, man, that's brilliant.
Oh, my God.
So I go, I go, you know, I'm telling you, I said, you should do...
I said, look, either you fight him and you beat him up or he punks out and you
win either
way.
And he's like, he's like, yeah, I like this.
So he talks to his management.
Of course, it just goes by the wayside.
Well, they're having some MTV Awards shit.
Security's not allowed on the floor there.
They had their own, like, you know, it was in a casino.
They have security for it.
While he's sitting in there with Pam, Kid Rock, like, comes up kind of behind
him and pokes
him and Tommy sees him and he goes to stand up and Kid Rock suckers him there.
Oh, he hit him?
Yeah.
What?
And I'm home.
My phone is getting blown the fuck up.
Like, what happened with Tommy?
What happened with Tommy?
I'm like, I don't fucking know.
Like, I'm not with him right now.
And I get a call.
I swear, like 30 minutes later and it's Tommy.
And he's going, fuck him.
He goes, I'm done with that motherfucker.
I want to fight him.
I'm going to fucking fight him now.
I go, he goes, I want you to train me.
I go, he goes, I'm going to move you out.
I go, no, you're moving to me.
I go, we're not going to be out here with all your little fucking ass kissers.
I said, if you're going to do it, you're really going to do it.
Was he working out at all at the time?
No.
So, you know, the only working out he does is on the drums, which he does
murder.
That is a little bit of arm conditioning.
It is, yeah, for sure.
That's like a little punchy.
Definitely.
And I can show you a picture of him with a choke on me and it's legit.
Like, he did train with Horian and I told you guys he trained some with Billy
Blanks.
So, Billy Blanks was, I've talked about this on the podcast.
He's for real, right?
He was a bad motherfucker in his day.
He was one of those, like, Raymond Daniels type karate.
He was one of the point fighting characters.
Yeah, okay.
In the early days.
He's a Taibo guy.
He's a Taibo guy, but we'll get to that.
All right.
Yeah, so I bring him in and I told him, I said, look, when we're going to Long
Beach, I said,
I know Rogan.
I can have him come in and you can tell him your idea.
And he goes, all right, all right.
So, I bring Joe and Eddie, they meet him.
He tells Joe he wants to fight him.
Literally, and Tommy said his sanctuary was his management company at the time.
I don't know if he still is or not.
So, they call Kid Rock's people, supposedly, and offer this fucking fight on
pay-per-view.
And Kid Rock's people wound up calling back and basically turning it down,
saying whoever
loses is ruined for life, I guess, because looking like a bitch, because they
both have
the rock and roll, tough guy, you know, image thing.
So, that was...
Did he say that in print?
That's literally how it stopped.
Was that in print?
Whoever loses this is ruined?
Or was that a call from him?
No, no, no.
That was supposedly the response from Kid Rock's management to Tommy's
management.
That is correct.
He would be correct.
Yeah, but if it's a good fight, like a Stefan Bonner and Forrest Riss.
Oh, my God.
Well, that would be different.
Then they both win.
I kind of forget who won that fight.
Stefan Bonner, Forrest Riss.
Yeah, Forrest won that fight.
I know Forrest won it, yeah.
But I kind of forget, because the fight was so good.
Yeah, it was amazing.
That was one of the most toss-up fights of all time.
Like, who fucking knows who won that fight?
And Dana did the right thing.
He contracted both of them.
It was amazing.
We actually talked about it in the Octagon right before he did it.
Wow.
Did you really?
Yeah, I was like, he should give both these motherfuckers a bonus.
Yeah.
He's like, we were going to do that.
I'm like, fuck yeah.
It was amazing.
Do you think if it wasn't for the ultimate fighter, it would have died?
Who knows, man?
But it was like lightning in a bottle.
Because there was another good fight before that.
Diego Sanchez.
Fuck Kenny Florian up, man.
It was Diego Sanchez.
That was a one-way beating.
But that was Diego Sanchez coming up.
Like, people got to see Diego fight too many fights.
They got to see the later fights.
They forgot what a monster Diego was in his prime.
He was tough.
And if you want to question his grappling, I mean, Marcello got him.
But, you know, he hung with one of the best of all time.
Just in ADCC.
Yeah.
Is he doing okay?
Diego was a fucking...
I don't know.
Listen, man.
You can only get hit so many times.
Agreed.
And he was halfway gone before taking all those shots.
Well, he was always like this open-minded, weird thinker.
Remember he had that guy that was training him that you had a little bit of
disagreement with?
What about that loser?
Joshua Fabia.
Yeah, he don't mention his name.
Cut that part out of here.
That guy was demented.
Well, he had Diego hanging upside down.
Punching him in his face.
Yeah, the video's insane.
The video's insane.
But Diego was like super, super open-minded.
Like, he was willing to believe in magic.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, he believed in himself so much that Diego was like...
And he was also like doing weird stuff.
Like, he would chew meat and spit it out.
He would just chew it down.
Like, get all the juices from it.
And then spit whatever's left out.
You wouldn't swallow the meat.
But he was fun to watch.
He was a fucking animal.
He was a fucking animal.
Steve Maxwell trained him for the fight with BJ Penn.
And got him in insane shape.
But unfortunately, that was the fight where BJ started...
That was when BJ was training one of the Marinoviches.
He was leaping out of pools.
BJ was unstoppable back then.
There was a time where I would say, watch BJ in his prime.
I'll put that dude up against anybody.
BJ in his prime was...
Yeah, there's no doubt.
I always say he's the best 55er of all time.
He was a Wolverine.
Like, in that window, right?
In that window, when he beat Matt Hughes.
Yeah, he was a human Wolverine.
Yeah.
But you did a lot better with him than I did.
Oh, I didn't want to bring that out.
You did.
But you had elite world championship caliber jiu-jitsu.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
And a guy like him relies on jiu-jitsu a lot.
You know?
But BJ was just...
I always...
There's two fights.
The Kenny...
I'm sorry.
Sean Shirk flight.
The Sean Shirk fight was prime BJ.
Yeah.
Prime BJ.
And then Diego Sanchez.
What about Caro Uno?
That's another one, too.
But Diego was, like, more highly ranked than Joe.
Oh, yeah.
He wrecked Caro Uno.
He was a beast.
Look what he did to Matt Hughes when he took the title.
Yeah, he was a beast.
Matt Hughes was just like, you're coming up to my weight class?
Right.
You know, that type of thing.
He was a Wolverine.
There he was.
The dude who would fight people at 200...
Fuck, Lioto Machida, 200 pounds.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
He was a Wolverine.
He did good about that.
Fucking animal.
And did real good.
Yeah.
Scary on the feet.
Yeah.
A natural 55-er who fought as low as 45.
Remember?
He went down to 45 for a while.
Bro, BJ was a monster in his prime.
And he was well-rounded, too, before guys were super well-rounded.
Like, he threw hands well.
If he just had the will to go through those Marinovich camps every fight,
he would have been unstoppable.
He just...
BJ would, you know, he would just lose his focus a little bit.
I watched a YouTube documentary about, like, the rise and trajectory and then
the later years.
It was really well done.
But it was all just talking about how there's this prime BJ,
and that's when he was training with the Marinovichs and incredible
conditioning.
And he could just go fight and not worry about his conditioning.
Do you think he...
It wasn't laziness, right?
What do you think it was?
A lot of friends, a lot of partying, he's the king of the island.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
He's basically the king of Hawaii.
For sure.
I think BJ Penn was the king.
Everywhere he would go, people were like, it's BJ.
I mean, he was the king in Vegas, man.
In those prime years when he was the champ, he was a huge star.
So I'm sure he's a huge star in Hilo.
He's probably hanging out with the boys all the time, having a good time.
Plus his family had influence there, right?
They had money.
They had some money.
He didn't come from poverty.
But it's just like, it just was real hard to maintain those kind of camps.
Those camps are insane.
He was also super, super talented.
Super talented.
And so it's like, he didn't have to work as hard to still beat up people.
Like in practice.
It definitely came easy.
His flexibility and leg dexterity was...
Oh my goodness.
I remember when I fought him and we were doing a rules meeting.
This is the time where we could ask questions.
Like they did e
