The Joe Rogan Experience.

Joe Rogan (0:06)

Trained by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.

Joe Rogan (0:12)

Did you watch it? Did you watch the UFC?

There's a lot of market trucks. Fuck, dude goes up one way class, goes up to 170, he was the 55 pound most dominant champion ever, most title defensive 55 ever, just dominates at 170, like every round. People are saying it's boring, but listen, man, it's boring if you're a casual. The fact that he was able to do it every round, it was a little frustrating because you want to Jack to try to adjust, but he couldn't, man. Islam shut his game down right away. He low kicked the shit out of his front leg real quick, had him limping real quick. Like within the first round, he had hit it three or four times, bad.

Brian Simpson (0:55)

Imagine being Khabib, you know, just your protege is just coming in.

Joe Rogan (0:59)

And Khabib is even better than him.

Brian Simpson (1:00)

Right.

Joe Rogan (1:01)

That's what's so crazy. That's how good those guys are. But he's not better stand up though. Islam has really good stand up, like his stand up. Khabib's stand up was a means to an end. It was like his stand up was to crack you so he could get a hold of you, fuck you up, just drag you to the ground, smash you. That was Khabib's move. But Islam is fucking KOing people, man. It's different. He's different. He's head kicking Volkanovsky.

It's like a different level of stand up.

Brian Simpson (1:29)

Yeah, Khabib said, you're going to be better than me.

Joe Rogan (1:31)

Crazy.

Brian Simpson (1:33)

Them Dagestani boys are here to stay.

Joe Rogan (1:35)

You know what's crazy, dude? Bala Muhammad, who was the champ at welterweight, went down to Dagestan to train with those guys. And he was like, I thought I trained hard. I really did. I thought I trained hard until I trained with those guys.

Brian Simpson (1:47)

I'm going to follow that. If I ever have a son, I'm just dropping them. As soon as he's hit puberty, I'm dropping them off in Dagestan. I say, leave them here, forget.

Joe Rogan (1:55)

That's the thing they always say. Take them to Dagestan, two, three years, forget.

Brian Simpson (1:59)

Yeah, for real.

Joe Rogan (2:00)

For real.

Brian Simpson (2:01)

He comes back telling you what to do.

Joe Rogan (2:02)

How are you going to fuck with that? Because that's real. That's how those dudes are really rolling out there. That's how they're really living. They pray five times a day. They're super religious. There's no gambling. There's no drinking. There's no partying.

There's just training, just training and training with a bunch of fucking animals. Eating together, training together, just getting after it every day. And then it's iron sharpens iron because everyone who comes out of there is a fucking killer.

Brian Simpson (2:32)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:33)

Crazy.

Brian Simpson (2:34)

Yeah. You got to be real.

Joe Rogan (2:36)

Most people don't want to live that life.

Brian Simpson (2:38)

Yeah. And they don't forgive the disrespect. No. No.

Joe Rogan (2:42)

They just fucked Dylan Dennis up this past weekend. Did you see that?

Brian Simpson (2:45)

Oh, yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:45)

Yeah.

Brian Simpson (2:46)

The fight in the crowd.

Joe Rogan (2:47)

Yeah.

Brian Simpson (2:47)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:48)

They don't forget.

Brian Simpson (2:49)

You got to watch what you say.

Joe Rogan (2:50)

Bro, and they're, you know.

Brian Simpson (2:52)

Dagestanis, they're not talking shit for promotional purposes.

Joe Rogan (2:55)

No.

Brian Simpson (2:55)

No, no, no. You got to be real careful.

Joe Rogan (2:57)

No. Down in the marrow of the bones.

Brian Simpson (3:00)

Do you think that they would ever be like... Do you think Conor could ever apologize to Khabib and like bury the hatchet?

Joe Rogan (3:06)

He would have to. It would have to be in private. And he would have to really mean it, man. You know? He would have to really mean it. And you would have to convince Khabib that you really meant it. And that it was all... Because he just doesn't play that game, that talking shit to sell a fight game. He doesn't play that game.

Brian Simpson (3:24)

Especially when it comes to his wife, his people.

Joe Rogan (3:26)

Everything, man. Everything.

Brian Simpson (3:27)

I saw a clip of DC saying like he did... He had like Conor on his show one time, and Khabib was like, no. What's that about? Yeah, like, that's my enemy.
