JRE MMA Show #43 with Brendan Schaub

Brendan Schaub (0:00)

Still no main event for Madison Square Garden.

Joe Rogan (0:02)

Four, three, two, one.

Boo-yah, yeah, no main event for Madison Square Garden so far. The rumors were John Jones and Gustafson, but I don't know.

Brendan Schaub (0:15)

I don't know.

Joe Rogan (0:16)

I don't know why that hasn't materialized.

Brendan Schaub (0:18)

Are they just waiting to announce it till after the whole Connor Khabib thing?

Joe Rogan (0:22)

Why would they do that? I think if they announce something, it's gotta be this weekend. I mean, what is it, November 3rd or something?

Brendan Schaub (0:28)

It's soon.

Joe Rogan (0:29)

So it's a month.

Brendan Schaub (0:30)

Super soon.

Joe Rogan (0:30)

Literally a month.

Today's the third, right? Second? Today's the second.

Brendan Schaub (0:34)

Today's the second.

Joe Rogan (0:36)

Yeah, fuck, man. That ain't good.

Brendan Schaub (0:39)

Yeah, maybe they just don't wanna steal any shine from the Connor Khabib fight.

Joe Rogan (0:43)

I don't think so. I think they just don't have a card yet.

Brendan Schaub (0:47)

I think they were banking on Jones to fill that main event, but it's been tricky to fill that slot. But also, why not have, if you're gonna do this, why not announce Nate Diaz does Emporia is your main event? That's a great main event. I can ride with that. Why not do that and then announce John Jones and Gus Finn or John Jones and Kane if you want to.

Joe Rogan (1:09)

But the main event is to be announced versus to be determined.

That's the weirdest main event I've ever seen. I've never seen a fucking pay-per-view a month out that says to be announced versus to be determined in the main event.

Jamie (1:22)

Does that mean they have somebody booked and then they're not an opponent for them and they're not even announcing it? Or does it just like decided to just be funny and write both firsts?

Joe Rogan (1:30)

That's a very good point, Jamie.

Brendan Schaub (1:30)

That's a good point, Jamie. I would say they have no idea.

Joe Rogan (1:33)

I think you just nailed it. I think they have a guy that they want to fight another guy. I'd heard, actually I heard from you.

They would try to do John Jones versus Kane.

Brendan Schaub (1:47)

That was the rumor mill that I got. Little birdie told me.

Joe Rogan (1:50)

Yeah, I'm all over that.

Brendan Schaub (1:52)

I would be all over that. This card's actually better than this weekend's card.

Joe Rogan (1:56)

Stylebender's fighting Derek Brunson. That's a great fight. That's the sleeper on that card right there.

Brendan Schaub (2:02)

We got Luke Rockhold, Chris Weidman, too.

Joe Rogan (2:05)

Ooh, that's a good fight, too.

Brendan Schaub (2:06)

Jockerite, David Branch ain't terrible either.

Joe Rogan (2:09)

Where is Rockhold Weidman on there?

Brendan Schaub (2:11)

At the bottom middle.

Joe Rogan (2:12)

What?

Jamie (2:13)

They're not in order yet.

Brendan Schaub (2:15)

What? This thing's all over the place.

Joe Rogan (2:17)

It's like a puzzle?

Brendan Schaub (2:19)

The guy who runs the UFC website took the month off.

Joe Rogan (2:22)

Rockhold versus Weidman, very interesting.

Listen, Gagard Musasi, that guy is the fucking sleeper of the 185-pound division. The fact that he went over to Bellator, very fucking fascinating to me. He just wrecked Roy MacDonald.

Brendan Schaub (2:37)

Completely wrecked him. It's tough to watch.

Joe Rogan (2:40)

Roy should not be fighting at 185 pounds, especially against a guy who's fought at 205 He's held titles at 205

Brendan Schaub (2:46)

I agree, and especially a guy in Gagard Musasi who's just as talented, just as skilled. Then when you go skill for skill, then size comes into play, and you saw how that pans out.

Joe Rogan (2:59)

Burt Crusher says Musasi has a giant dick.

Brendan Schaub (3:01)

How would he know?

Joe Rogan (3:02)

He was in a sauna next to him.

Brendan Schaub (3:04)

Oh, that makes sense. You know what? Musasi has that big dick energy.

He just carries himself like a straight badass, doesn't he? Nothing really gets him going. You know why? Because he's a giant dick.

Joe Rogan (3:17)

Giant dick.

Brendan Schaub (3:18)

You know what? Burt's probably right on this.

Joe Rogan (3:20)

This makes sense.

Brendan Schaub (3:21)

God, this makes sense. You're brilliant, Burt Kreischer.

Joe Rogan (3:25)

Well, he saw it. I mean, it's not even like he figured it out. I mean, he's got like eyewitness.

Brendan Schaub (3:31)

He's seen that thing.

Joe Rogan (3:32)

He's in the room.

Brendan Schaub (3:33)

Nothing's ever made more sense than that.
