Fight Companion - September 7, 2019

Joe Rogan (0:06)

Is it actually happening?

All right, ladies and gentlemen, Fight Companion has started, Bryan Callen's in route, Brendan Schaub's in the house. Eddie, motherfucking Bravo, with the new haircut.

Eddie Bravo (0:14)

Yep.

Joe Rogan (0:15)

I like it, dude.

Eddie Bravo (0:16)

Thank you.

Joe Rogan (0:16)

You're going straight up Tong Po. You should grow a ponytail on the back of that motherfucker.

All right, if you've never listened to this before, this is a podcast where we watch the fights and we talk shit. We're day drinking, it's 11, 15, the AM. Eddie Bravo hasn't cracked open one yet. Here he goes.

Come on, Eddie. I'm scared. Especially post Epstein. There's a lot of conspiracy theories just bubbling in the sermons of Eddie's. What's the big deal? That's what I've been telling everybody. Marabek Tysimov's a fucking beast, and he is about to fight Diego Ferreira, and that is an excellent fight.

If you never heard these before, we talk shit while the fights are going on. We kind of commentate on the fights, but not really. Let's be honest.

Brendan Schaub (1:00)

Depends.

Joe Rogan (1:01)

Most of it's not. This is a very good fight.

Marebek Tysimov is a fucking killer. Diego Ferreira is a very good fighter, too. So this is a good fight. And they're in Abu Dhabi. So when you think about a guy like Tysimov, who's Muslim, you gotta think there's a lot of pride in him fighting there, but maybe a little bit of extra pressure.

Brendan Schaub (1:21)

Home field advantage, right?

Joe Rogan (1:23)

I don't know about home field advantage, man, because sometimes guys don't fight well when they're fighting in front of everyone that they love and care for.

Brendan Schaub (1:30)

Too much pressure, and there's a lot more to worry about. Did you hear, I forget what journalist is cage side, but I guess the around the cage and the mat, it's hot as fuck.

Joe Rogan (1:40)

Oh, it's hot, dude.

Brendan Schaub (1:41)

No, but they're saying it's like unheard of hot around there. So as the rounds get going, I think it could affect some of the fights.

Eddie Bravo (1:48)

Most people in most teams do play better with home field advantage. It's kind of like, yeah, it's like you have no choice.

You can't crumble under the pressure. It's like there's too many of your loved ones watching, you have no choice.

Joe Rogan (2:02)

It's like some people just fold, man. Tyson was looking good, though. Just landed a good left leg kick and a good one, too.

He's a solid fighter, man, but he's one of those guys that's had a hard time. I think he's had a hard time getting into the US.

I think he was denied visas or something like that.

Brendan Schaub (2:20)

I would imagine a lot of these guys on this card did, like Khabib's dad can't get in, but he's in his corner for this fight.

Joe Rogan (2:26)

Isn't that crazy? Yeah. What do they think he's gonna do?

But the problem is he's got a tie to that guy from Technia.

Brendan Schaub (2:33)

Tough.

Joe Rogan (2:33)

Yeah. Oh, Diego Ferreira just cracked him.

Brendan Schaub (2:36)

Toss him off as the same barber as Bryan Callen.

Eddie Bravo (2:41)

Can we get the fights on this TV too, so I don't have to...

Joe Rogan (2:44)

So you have to cream?

SPEAKER_6 (2:45)

No, it's on Apple TV. I can't.

Brendan Schaub (2:47)

Sorry.

SPEAKER_6 (2:47)

We're live, but I don't know where we're live.

Brendan Schaub (2:49)

On my neck, bro.

Joe Rogan (2:50)

You don't know where we're live?

SPEAKER_6 (2:51)

I'm looking right now. It says there's people watching, but I can't find it. So I'm looking.

Joe Rogan (2:56)

Are you watching it? Can you see it?

SPEAKER_6 (2:57)

I can see it on my thing.

Joe Rogan (2:59)

We're having a little bit of an issue with YouTube, ladies and gentlemen.

When you get it to me, get it, do me a favor. Give me a link. Just tweet it or something, and I'll retweet it.

Something, something, something. When I was over there, when Anderson Silva fought Damien Maia, it was hot as fuck, and it was outdoors. I was there with you. You were there, that's right.

Brendan Schaub (3:24)

You went to that?

Joe Rogan (3:24)

That was fun.

Brendan Schaub (3:25)

That was a bad idea, outside.

Joe Rogan (3:26)

It's your bra, man.

Eddie Bravo (3:27)

We worked for the UFC. We had no choice.

Joe Rogan (3:29)

Yeah.

Brendan Schaub (3:29)

And you had to go to all, did you have to go to all of them back then?
