JRE MMA Show #79 with Vinny Shoreman & Liam Harrison

Joe Rogan (0:03)

Here we go, Liam and Vinny, my savage friends from Mother England.

Good to see you again, man. What's happening? How's it been?

Vinny Shoreman (0:10)

All sorts of things are going on, Joe. All sorts of things.

Liam Harrison (0:13)

Birthday boy over here as well, 50 today.

Joe Rogan (0:15)

Happy birthday, sir.

You don't look good today, over 49 and a half. Looking good.

Vinny Shoreman (0:20)

I can feel it.

Liam Harrison (0:22)

I feel it. I pulled a muscle in my leg balling last night.

Joe Rogan (0:25)

Oh, no.

Liam Harrison (0:26)

Bad news, man.

Joe Rogan (0:26)

When you're a world kickboxing champion and you pull a muscle, Bowen goes a sad time.

Liam Harrison (0:30)

He's pathetic.

I was looking at myself in the mirror this morning when I got up and thought, you are a loser, mate. What have you done?

Joe Rogan (0:36)

The worst neck injuries I ever got was in the shower. I was just turning to get my shampoo. I was just like that. I'm like, ah, fuck, fuck, fuck.

Just popped.

Look at that. Knocked over Roy McDonald and Bruce Lee with my shenanigans, with my antics. Yeah, that's a bummer, man.

Liam Harrison (0:52)

Bowling? Bowling, mate.

The thing is, well, I felt it. I thought, I've done myself in here, but I can't lose the game, and I carried on. At least I won the game.

Joe Rogan (0:59)

Well, imagine if, like, you had a workout and your trainer was like, okay, we're going to do some bowling. You're like, how the fuck?

This isn't even an effort.

Liam Harrison (1:06)

I won't mind. Yesterday morning, I did some hard round sparring. I've got a little black eye from it and stuff, clinching, running, fine.

Joe Rogan (1:12)

No problems.

Liam Harrison (1:13)

Bowling.

Joe Rogan (1:13)

Well, maybe it was like some residual stiffness.

Liam Harrison (1:16)

Do you know what? We've been driving around a lot. We've been, the schedule's been hectic. We've had seminars and stuff going on. We've been sat in the car a lot, so my hips have been stiff. So I think it was to do with that, to be honest, because it's right up here on my hip where I'm doing something.

Joe Rogan (1:26)

Yeah, man, that's legit. That's a big deal. When I come out of here, when I just get up after sitting in a chair for five hours, everything feels weird. You know, you've got to roll it and stretch.

Vinny Shoreman (1:37)

I wake up as if I've been fucking beat up. I don't know what that's all about.

Joe Rogan (1:41)

What are you doing?

Vinny Shoreman (1:42)

Nightmare demons.

Joe Rogan (1:43)

What have you been up to?

Vinny Shoreman (1:44)

I don't know. I've been asleep.

Joe Rogan (1:46)

What's that?

Vinny Shoreman (1:47)

I've been asleep, so I don't know.

Joe Rogan (1:48)

You've been asleep?

Vinny Shoreman (1:48)

No. Every time I wake up, I'm like fucking hell in the morning, so I don't know what goes on.

Part of my feet, my hips, whatever.

Joe Rogan (1:54)

Yeah, but you're 50 I get it. With him, I don't get it.

Liam Harrison (1:57)

Yeah, I know.

Joe Rogan (1:58)

You're supposed to be.

Vinny Shoreman (1:59)

Yeah, we've had about 300 fights, aren't you?

Joe Rogan (2:03)

The craziest fucking record ever is probably Lomachenko, right? Because didn't you only have one loss in the amateurs?

Liam Harrison (2:08)

398 wins?

Joe Rogan (2:10)

Something crazy like that.

Vinny Shoreman (2:11)

397

Joe Rogan (2:13)

397 wins, one loss.

Vinny Shoreman (2:16)

Which he reversed twice.

Joe Rogan (2:18)

And then one loss in the pros.

Liam Harrison (2:20)

He's obviously not taking too much damage either because of his style, but even making weight, 398 times making weight and stuff, that takes it.

Joe Rogan (2:29)

Yeah.

Liam Harrison (2:29)

Being on a diet for that long and just being that strict for that long, it's impressive that.

Joe Rogan (2:33)

Well, as he's moving up, he's not cutting as much though, like in his third weight class. This is his third weight class, right?

Vinny Shoreman (2:38)

Yeah, they're on about him moving down as well.

Joe Rogan (2:42)

He's going up and down?

Vinny Shoreman (2:43)

Yeah. That's what Bob Byron said.

Joe Rogan (2:45)

But his last fight against the Englishman, what is his name, Connolly?

Vinny Shoreman (2:49)

Luke Campbell.

Joe Rogan (2:50)

Campbell.

Vinny Shoreman (2:50)

I was there.

Joe Rogan (2:51)

There was a great fight. That kid's good.

Liam Harrison (2:53)

He put a really good account of himself, because most people in England had wrote him off before it even started.
