JRE MMA Show #74 with Brendan Schaub

Joe Rogan (0:29)

Everybody better shut the fuck up now, he's for real.

Brendan Schaub (0:32)

He's for real.

Joe Rogan (0:33)

Anybody who didn't think he was for real after that Robbie Lawler fight, you gotta go, wow.

Brendan Schaub (0:37)

Well, the problem is, is he talks so much shit, which I find hilarious, and you're tuning in to watch him lose, which is, he's doing it right. Because in all honesty, we like him, because we're balls deep in UFC and MMA.

But my brother, who's not that big of a fan, is like, this is all he does? I'm like, I know, you gotta understand, though, What he's doing to this guy is amazing, and he's gonna do it for five rounds for 25 minutes, and he wears you out. To me, it's fascinating.

Joe Rogan (1:04)

It is fascinating in the cardio.

Brendan Schaub (1:06)

But it's not entertaining for a general fan, typically. He's not knocking dudes out, he's not a lot of submissions. I see what you're saying.

So for the general fan, like, oh, and this guy talks all this shit, but he's doing it right because he's talking all that shit. You're like, dude, I don't want to see this guy get fucked up. Even John Jones posted, you let everyone down, you know, like, Robbie Lawler let everybody down. You know what I'm saying? Because he wants, everybody wants Colby to lose.

Joe Rogan (1:31)

Right.

Brendan Schaub (1:31)

Colby's doing the exact, everyone's playing into his game plan. I love it.

Joe Rogan (1:36)

Well, that's how Floyd Mayweather became so rich. Floyd Mayweather did not become so rich because his fights are so exciting.

His fights in his early career were way more exciting.

Brendan Schaub (1:45)

He was a savage early on. He could go forward.

Joe Rogan (1:47)

He put himself at risk, but he broke his hands a bunch of times.

Brendan Schaub (1:50)

Correct.

Joe Rogan (1:51)

And also realized this is not the way to have a long career and walk out of it with all your brains intact.

Brendan Schaub (1:57)

Well, think how good John Fitch was. He was a monster.

Joe Rogan (2:01)

Sure.

Brendan Schaub (2:02)

Nice guy, true professional, beat some of the very best, was tough to beat.

Didn't talk shit though, so no one really cared. So as soon as he had some issues, remember he was like, hey, I don't like the way my face looks in that video game. UFC was like, cool, you're cut. Like, what the fuck? I'm 20 and 0, man.

Joe Rogan (2:16)

Yeah, I think they cut them just because of... But either one of those is good. That's all we have in this room. We have a bunch of that...

What's the Buffalo Trace? Do we have Buffalo Trace in the bag?

Brendan Schaub (2:32)

I don't trust skinny bottles.

Joe Rogan (2:34)

Yeah, it seems weird, right?

Brendan Schaub (2:35)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:35)

It's for girls.

Brendan Schaub (2:36)

I don't trust skinny girls or skinny bottles, bro.

Joe Rogan (2:39)

Canadian whiskey and maple syrup.

Brendan Schaub (2:42)

No, can't do maple, I'm keto, bro.

Joe Rogan (2:44)

Are you really?

Brendan Schaub (2:44)

I'm straight keto.

Joe Rogan (2:46)

Are you? When did that happen?

Brendan Schaub (2:47)

I sent you and Brian a text. Your boy was up to 273

Joe Rogan (2:51)

Dude, you got to 273? What were you eating?

Brendan Schaub (2:55)

Road life, Doug. Road dog.

Joe Rogan (2:57)

Oh, road life.

Brendan Schaub (2:57)

Because when I get into towns and there's all this, if you're in Nassery and Philly, wherever, there's great food. So I was just eating and drinking at night, and no one said anything to me. I hear you.

Joe Rogan (3:07)

No one said anything?

Brendan Schaub (3:08)

No, and then I remember I went to Hawaii. I went to Hawaii, I was looking at the other dads, I'm like, damn, these dads are in shape. I look like, shit. And my girl's like, no, you look fine. Everyone was lying, man. Like on the scale, it's not fine. Your boy's been keto for 14 days.

Joe Rogan (3:24)

14 days.

Brendan Schaub (3:24)

14 days, strict, bro.

Joe Rogan (3:25)

This is gonna knock you out of keto anyway, though. This is whiskey.

Brendan Schaub (3:28)

There's no sugar in whiskey.

Joe Rogan (3:29)

There's not?

Brendan Schaub (3:30)

Nope.

Joe Rogan (3:30)

It's alcohol.

Brendan Schaub (3:31)

But there's no sugar in it.

Joe Rogan (3:32)

But alcohol doesn't convert to, cheers, my brother.

Brendan Schaub (3:34)

Cheers, brother. Good to see you, man.

Joe Rogan (3:35)

Good to see you, too. Alcohol doesn't convert into sugar?
