I started drinking AG-1 about four years ago, and I love the way it makes you feel.

Brendan Schaub (2:19)

Like, why can't we just hear Brendan talk about Hitler? Yeah, OK.

Joe Rogan (2:27)

Are we up? OK, we're up. Ladies and gentlemen, so sorry. There was a bit of an issue. So we're just talking about Steve Erceg and how good he looked against Pantoja.

Brendan Schaub (2:39)

And I was saying some people thought he won, but to your point, that last round might have been the deciding factor.

Joe Rogan (2:44)

Yeah, I thought the last round was the decider. I thought it was super close, though, and he looked awesome. But just Pantoja is just such a veteran. He knows how to win and he pulled it off. He pulled it off in the last round. But that Erceg kid, man, for that being his first world title fight, how many fights has he had in the UFC?

Brendan Schaub (3:00)

Like, four?

Joe Rogan (3:03)

How many fights has Steve Erceg had? The crazy thing is about flyweight, it's like flyweight and heavyweight. If you come in and you are a fucking beast, you move up the ladder quick. Not a lot of 125-pound dudes, not a lot of 265-pound dudes. So if you can get elite... Like, think about guys that stay in the top 10 in the heavyweight division. Like, losses that would have taken you out of the mix in the 155 division, you stay in the mix.

Brendan Schaub (3:32)

The only one that catapulted is your boy Umar Nagermadov.

Joe Rogan (3:36)

Oh, Umar, so good, man. So look at this, he's only had three fights in the UFC before he fights Pantosia for the world title. That's amazing. And by the way, looks so good, especially in the match now fight. Fuck that dude looked good.

Tony Hinchcliffe (3:52)

And all four of those fights happened within one year.

Joe Rogan (3:56)

Yeah, it fought quick.

Tony Hinchcliffe (3:57)

June, November, March.

Joe Rogan (3:57)

Which is great if you stay healthy.

Brian Simpson (3:59)

And it was a unanimous decision?

Joe Rogan (4:01)

One, yes, it was a unanimous decision. Which is wild. But no, no, no, no, it's not wild. I think it was correct. I think it was correct. I think it was close. It was close, but I like when the guy wins the last round. I think it means I mean, I'm an old school guy, right? I like pride rules. I like that. I think the theory of scoring is school yard theory.

Brendan Schaub (4:18)

But that's not the game.

Joe Rogan (4:19)

I get it. That's true, too. But it is also fighting. School yard theory is real. Like, if a guy's on top of you and the teachers break it up, that guy beat your ass.
