Joe Rogan (0:03)

We're live, guys.

Eddie Bravo (0:04)

Oh, is it live?

Joe Rogan (0:06)

And we're live. Ladies and gentlemen, we're here with the great and powerful Jimmy Smith. Welcome to the UFC, Jimmy Smith.

Jimmy Smith (0:12)

Thank you so much. It's great to be here, officially.

Joe Rogan (0:14)

Official. We wanted to talk about it last time when you were on the podcast, but we had to dance around it.

Jimmy Smith (0:20)

So many people wrote me, were like, Joe, really? I go, hey, man, Joe's a pro. You hinted well. We danced around it quite a bit.

Joe Rogan (0:29)

Nobody, nobody totally knew. And of course, the great and powerful Eddie Bravo. Yo, yo, yo, Brian Callens on the way, but he's bringing wine and cheese. He insists on wine and cheese. He thinks he's at some fucking fucking cocktail party where they're going to prepare scripts. That's Brian. He's got to have his wine and cheese.

Do Ho Choi versus Jeremy Stevens is the main event. If you've never heard one of these podcasts before, this is a fight companion podcast, which means we're going to watch the fights.

Most likely, we'll talk about the fights, but we might not. We could talk about whatever the fuck. Like Eddie and I, we've gone through entire podcasts. We never talked about the fight until like the last round of the main event. But Missouri, Missouri Division of Professionals, oh, they're in Missouri.

Is this St. Louis? That's what it is, right? Yeah.

Jimmy Smith (1:13)

And they haven't adopted the ABC rules. That's important for the judging, at least for sure.

Joe Rogan (1:17)

They haven't adopted those in Nevada, which is real weird.

Jimmy Smith (1:19)

It's crazy.

Joe Rogan (1:20)

Look how good Michael Johnson looks at 45 Eddie was saying that it's racist to say that, but I don't think it is.

Look how shredded he is.

Jimmy Smith (1:27)

Fantastic.

Joe Rogan (1:29)

Yeah, it's a good weight class for him.

I think, you know, just those Habib Nurmagomedov, those giant 55s that could just grapple, fuck you and beat your brains in. He had enough of that at the last fight. He's like, that's about enough of this weight class.

Jimmy Smith (1:43)

When people remember how much the other guy talked to Dana White while he was beating my ass, that's bad.

Joe Rogan (1:48)

That's bad.

Jimmy Smith (1:50)

And he's a great fighter, and that's what's so funny about it is.

Joe Rogan (1:52)

Well, this was supposed to be the main event on the prelims, but Uriah Hall and Vitor Belfort fell out really unfortunately, which is a fucking bummer. Apparently, Uriah Hall was like on death's door trying to make weight, but he had like gotten sick, I had heard, during training. He was having some real issues.

He said his body shut down about three weeks out. A lot of people out here dealing with that fucking flu.

Jimmy Smith (2:18)

And then Robert Fowles' coach died.

Yeah, he was a great guy, by the way, if you ever met Robert. He was fantastic. But you know, mentally, he was just going through a lot of stress, and that'll kill your cut too.

Joe Rogan (2:28)

Yeah, Robert killed himself, and so did his brother, it's such a bummer. That guy's a nice fucking guy. He was such a good dude, such a bummer man.

So instead, this fight, which was gonna be on the prelims, I'm excited about this fight though, because Darren Elkins is some sort of a different kind of human. That guy takes fucking punishment like nobody. Eddie Bravo looking for marijuana?

Eddie Bravo (2:54)

No.

Joe Rogan (2:54)

We have plenty of that.

Eddie Bravo (2:55)

No.

Joe Rogan (2:55)

It's okay. We don't.

Eddie Bravo (2:56)

No.

Joe Rogan (2:57)

We can. This is a free world. We live in California.

Eddie Bravo (3:00)

I don't drink anymore.

Joe Rogan (3:02)

At all?

Eddie Bravo (3:02)

Nope. No more drinking.

Joe Rogan (3:03)

Wow.

Eddie Bravo (3:04)

No more caffeine. I'm on intermittent fasting.

Jimmy Smith (3:08)

You look good, dude.

Joe Rogan (3:09)

Thank you. Your face looks good.

Eddie Bravo (3:10)

Thank you.

Jimmy Smith (3:10)

You look slim.

Eddie Bravo (3:11)

But I'm not giving this away.

Joe Rogan (3:12)

Yeah, don't give that away.

Eddie Bravo (3:13)

I mean, giving it up.

Joe Rogan (3:14)

Sorry. I'm not giving it up.

Don't give it up. Don't give it away. So how long has it been since the booze?

Eddie Bravo (3:25)

I decided initially that I would only allow myself to drink, like if I did a set somewhere or if I did, you know, at the 10th Planet holiday party, I allowed myself to drink. But that was the last time. It's been about a month and a half since I've had a drink.
