all the results.

Joe Rogan (0:02)

Five, four, three, two, one. Boom! And we're live, ladies and gentlemen, it's a Fight Companion. It's me, Bryan Callen's on the way, but it's his birthday, and he's old as fuck, and sometimes you get old, you lose your keys, and you don't know what time it is, and shit. Eddie motherfucking Bravo!

And Brendan Schaub is up in this bitch.

And we're watching Bellator, hope nobody at the USC gets mad. But it's a big fight. This is an important one. We are, right now, this is, the heavyweight finals is gonna be Fador vs. Ryan Bader.

Brendan Schaub (0:39)

I'm excited for that.

Joe Rogan (0:40)

I am excited about that. I'm very excited. I like Ryan Bader at heavyweight. He looks fucking fantastic.

Brendan Schaub (0:44)

Love him. He's bigger than me right now.

Joe Rogan (0:46)

Dude, how many of these guys just should have done that a long time ago and just stopped cutting weight?

Brendan Schaub (0:50)

Went to heavyweight?

Joe Rogan (0:51)

Just crucifying their body.

Brendan Schaub (0:53)

Chris Weidman, I think, is kind of one of the main ones.

Joe Rogan (0:55)

You think so?

Brendan Schaub (0:56)

I think he's gonna excel at light heavyweight.

Joe Rogan (0:58)

He's got a disc replaced in his neck.

Brendan Schaub (1:00)

He's fucked up, but I'll figure it out.

Eddie Bravo (1:02)

The worst nightmare, though, for a fighter in wrestling or MMA is just being overpowered by somebody.

That's why they're killing themselves. They just wanna... They would rather go in there depleted than get thrown around. It's so old school.

Brendan Schaub (1:16)

It's such an old school way of thinking, I feel like.

Eddie Bravo (1:18)

It makes sense, though, a little bit. I mean, to be that bully. In wrestling, it's still old school.

Brendan Schaub (1:25)

Look at TJ Dillashaw.

Joe Rogan (1:26)

Oh, yeah, but that's hard to say. Let's talk about that fight. Because I watched that fight several times. I'm of the opinion that was a quick stoppage.

Eddie Bravo (1:34)

Early stoppage, for sure.

Joe Rogan (1:36)

Early stoppage.

Brendan Schaub (1:37)

Here's my other point with that. When they're 125 pounds, you can let it go on a little longer than if they were heavyweights.

I'd hear more on the side of let it go longer. Because they're 125 pounds.

Joe Rogan (1:47)

That could be a thousand pounds each and nd that fight got stopped quick.

Eddie Bravo (1:50)

Let him fucking fight.

Joe Rogan (1:51)

Let him fucking fight.

Brendan Schaub (1:53)

Especially, when we're talking about a legacy fight.

Eddie Bravo (1:55)

Those guys were spending 69 bucks.

Joe Rogan (1:57)

How about TJ?

Brendan Schaub (1:59)

That's a legacy fight.

Joe Rogan (2:00)

Right, that guy drained his body to get down to 125 pounds.

Eddie Bravo (2:04)

Hey don't get me wrong, though, HenryEstah Ziudo esas a beast, motherfucker. He's a beast. He probably would have beat them anyway.

But for people that are paying for the event, we want to see some highlight shit. We want to see a definite knockout. We don't want to, you know...

I thought the ref, whoever he was, he was just... In the beginning, you could tell he wanted to stop it, or like there's guys that they just want to get in there and like save their lives.

Brendan Schaub (2:27)

He's a really good ref though.

Eddie Bravo (2:28)

You're not going to save anybody's life.

Joe Rogan (2:29)

He made a mistake. Look, it's fucking hard to do. It's a hard job. I am so glad I'm not a referee, because when they make a mistake, they can't say, oh, I fucked up, let's do it again. You remember they used to be able to? Do you remember when Big John McCarthy stopped the fight between Marilla Bustamante and Matt, fuck, Matt Lindland, Matt Lindland, Matt Lindland tapped and said he didn't tap. And Big John McCarthy let the fight continue.

Matt Bustamante got him in an arm bar.

Eddie Bravo (2:55)

Check out this arm bar.

Joe Rogan (2:56)

Boom, look at that right away. Damn, we missed an arm bar.

Eddie Bravo (3:00)

That was some serious jiu-jitsu right there.

Joe Rogan (3:01)

Well, we'll see it in the highlights.

Eddie Bravo (3:03)

Jesus Christ.

Brendan Schaub (3:04)

We'll just warm it up. Yeah, let's get real.

Joe Rogan (3:06)

That was nice.

Brendan Schaub (3:07)

Yeah, hell yeah, good for him.

Joe Rogan (3:08)

Soar's got some fucking high level fights now, man. They are like on the way up. They're as close to the UFC as you can get right now.
