Jessica Andraj Right there Rose Namayunas Let's see Let's see This is a strawweight obviously Yes, no I think it's flyweight No, it's strawweight right? Strawweight, it's strawweight, yeah She was a strawweight champion Mmm This is a battle of the two girls with the shortest hair in the UFC Right? Yeah, for sure It's crazy that Rose just decided to cut her hair off She's like, I don't, it just gets in the way Cause like, she's beautiful I mean her face, I mean she's like, she's like a cover girl, like a model She has perfect bone structure But she doesn't give a fuck She's not even remotely concentrating on that Oh shit, she looks good She hasn't fought, I don't think since then And she looks very sharp She's a Trevor Whitman disciple I mean it's just crazy what she did to Yohana The momentum of the train, how fast the Yohana train was rolling To put a stop to that is completely insane out of nowhere And the way she did it too with that left hook How crazy is it the momentum of women? I know, it's amazing How fucking great is this? They're so good They're so good I think the little Polish girl I love Oh, Valentina Czepchenko? No Yohana Yennecz? That's my all time favorite Oh of course, mine too She paints her toenails No matter who she fights, her toenails are always bangin Valentina's not Polish, right? She's Russian Yeah, more than me Yeah, but Joanna is my favorite She's technical You follow her on Instagram? She's beautiful all the time She's such a girl Do you understand when Joey, the can of worms he's soaping up? What? Tony's in love with her He's been in love with her forever Why don't you, didn't she come to a fight and you were gonna take her home again? Yeah, we're friends, we're friends, we text Valentina, what does it say? She comes to my shows when I'm in Kazakhstan Palm Beach or Doral You haven't asked her out? I mean we've, you know, we've hung out We've hung out in Florida Yeah What does that mean? No, you stop it right now, I'll dare you Beautiful And the way she fights makes me more attracted to her Like I like how she fights Well, she's definitely got Very technical She's gotten a lot better at the weight cut too She was having real problems with weight cutting in the past Oh damn, Rose looks good Real sharp counters She's working well off the jab Look at that jab, that jab's snappy Andraj lost some muscle mass She used to be a lot thicker She used to look like a tank She used to go in there and look like a small, female, Van de Ley Silva But now she's, I guess she probably realizes after a while Most of them do You carry around all that muscle mass, the cost In your conditioning and endurance Also harder to cut the weight She probably had to cut a lot of weight She was very thick before I can tell you from experience, the smaller your frame, the lighter you are The so much harder it is to cut weight Like I know that's common sense But those last few pounds, that's all just your liver and your lungs Just the little bit of liquid you have left Yeah, they say the guys who cut the easiest actually are big, muscular guys Those big, thick, muscular guys because muscle's like, you know, 90-something percent water Not really water, it's plasma and all kinds of other shit But it's a lot of fluid, you can lose water Yeah, and we did back in high school, that's for damn sure Nice one, too, on the outside Yeah, I didn't realize it was easier for people that are muscular to cut weight Until George Lockhart, who's one of the best coaches for weight cutting in the sport He explained it to me and I was like, oh, okay, that actually makes sense Like I never thought about it before But the more muscle mass you have, the easier it is to lose water weight There was a couple times where I weighed in with just straight up bone, skin, and the innards Well, the crazy thing about wrestlers is you have to compete that day So you cut that weight and then you put as much back on as you can Before you wrestle, yeah, it's ridiculous It's ridiculous I got a problem, Joe Rogan What's the problem? My last physical, the doctor calls you because everything is beautiful except your potassium is too low What does that mean? Oh, well, that's easy That's nothing Well, you don't even need bananas I eat bananas Take some of this This shit right here Liquid IV I drink that shit every day You take that in a bottle of water It's got way more potassium than a banana It's got all kinds of vitamins in it But why am I alone with potassium? Because you probably don't take any You don't take it into your body Is the potassium a variation of salt? Like I was told to stay away from salt five years ago No, no, no, that's sodium That's sodium Okay Potassium is something different Potassium is just another electrolyte But it's a critical electrolyte I think they say potassium People are low on potassium That's when they get cramps That fucking liquid IV shit Like started to take electrolytes on a daily basis Changed how my body operates Because I was always getting cramps Now I don't ever get them anymore Literally stop getting cramps I get them because I was dehydrated And I, you know, most people run around dehydrating Dehydrated You don't realize Like you have to drink water all the fucking time, man You really do You have to drink water all the time And if you don't do that, you're operating at a less than optimal method You know, your brain is not functioning the way it should In football a lot, you know, in obviously in the hotter places Like, you know, those games, it stalls so much of the game Oh, yeah, man All those cramps Oh, yeah And they're trying to drink water the whole time, those big boys But they're sweating it out faster than their body can absorb it And they're fucking going full tilt, you know I mean, imagine being a 290-pound super athlete Just going full tilt, just full stride Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa I mean, the amount of explosive exertion those guys put out in a game It's fucking nuts It's not like anything else If you really think about it, even in fights You know, there's a lot of moments in fights where they're pacing themselves Like this, they're moving And then they explode occasionally Football has these giant bursts where you're running at each other full clip Just all full sprinting, you know And then you stop They also have longer breaks than even here Because when you're on defense, you're on that sideline for maybe, you know, five, eight, ten minutes And, bro, they all get injured Yeah It's 100 percent, they all get injured They all get injured Joey, you would love this Aaron Hernandez series that they have on Wondery Do you ever listen to Wondery, the podcast network? Yeah It's very good, they're really well produced They have this really good one on Aaron Hernandez and his life and why he was so fucked up Whoo, it's crazy Bro, he killed a bunch of people Does it cover things with- He killed people and got away with it He killed more than the people he got in trouble with He killed a guy in Florida Yeah He killed a few people Did you watch the Netflix one? I did not, no, I heard it was great Yeah, they cover a lot of that, it's crazy Crazy story But a lot of that, man, is his fucking brain damage You believe that at that age- See, at 28 years old when he killed himself they said he had some of the worst CTE they had ever seen And, you know, he grew up playing football So he- They did a study on kids, like, all the way up through professional, all the way down to high school Football players who had CTE And they were like, it's most kids It's most people who play football on a regular basis, like, more have it than don't have it It's crazy My town's a very big football town We won the state championship Kids went to Penn State from there And I watch them I've been watching them, just for purposes One guy killed himself But I'm watching these guys, and either they're solid Or, like, one buddy is in the hospital Oh, absolutely You know So it's all those football players that kind of- Bro, Rose is teeing off on András András is getting really pieced up here Look at that, one-two Rose is just sharper, and her footwork is better Like, constant movement, and her counters are on point Look at that block Perfect timing, new one that punches come in And András is just looking for openings She's just looking to swing big hammer shots Whereas Rose is kind of piecing her up Oh, she missed with that flying knee I think when it comes to that CTE, it really starts in college It starts when you're in high school, bro It's colleges I think it starts in high school, but colleges were really- Because it's so competitive, college Mm-hmm And you're really banging it out out there And you're young, you're strong as fuck You're juicing, off-season You train, basically, 11 months out of the year Six of those months with a helmet I mean, you do summers with a helmet No, helmets and shoulder pads, no contact And you- So- Yeah, and usually the better you are, the more you're going to naturally hit your head The more- Boy, you gotta watch this fight The more it means you're in the play This fight is wild This is a wild fight Rose is catching her with all kinds of big shots coming in, but Andrade keeps coming Do you remember when Ioana fought Jessica Andrade, Tony? Sort of I don't remember it being that dangerous of a fight for her at all It was dangerous, it was dangerous, but Ioana was so technical She was so good That was when she was legit in her prime I gotta say, I went back over the Weilijang fight And you could see her winning a decision Mm-hmm Oh, look at that combination by Andrade Damn, that was a hard combination Good left kick to the body there, too You could see, but it's not bad enough Where you couldn't see Jeong winning it either She could have won two You know, it reminded me a lot of that sort of like Nate Diaz effect, too Because the damage that Ioana- What she looked like has to affect the judge's decisions and perception There's no doubt about it It was every Nate Diaz fight where it looks like he's gotten beat up Just because he has the two cuts that open in his eyes as soon as he starts Right, Ioana had that enormous swelling on her forehead It was crazy But meanwhile, she acted like it was nothing Like it didn't even exist She didn't even- didn't even slow down It was unbelievable She looked totally different by the end and to keep fighting And Wei Li, man, goddamn, she's so good Just so aggressive, both of them I mean, that was absolutely one of my favorite fights There's a fucking painting of it out in the hallway here You saw it? Yeah, so cool I mean, there's a reason why that painting's there It's one of my favorite fights of all time That was the first time that you watched the UFC That you didn't even care She sucked- that fight sucked the air out of you I watched at her friend's house It was amazing After that, the party was open Like nobody cared about that Well, the problem was after that was Style Bender versus Yoel Romero And that was a very tactical fight Yoel would just stand right in front of him But you gotta remember Yeah In the 25 minutes, you were pinned to the TV Like you haven't been pinned That Yoana Wang fight I actually got to watch In the bar at La Jolla, like that main lobby Oh, really? And like half the- because I closed out I took off five minutes from the opener And five minutes from the feature The only time I ever did that in my life Just so you could get to the fight Was because I wanted to do my time to not miss a thing And that was one of those times Because I go, I said, light me When the second fighter in the main event gets to the octagon Give me a safety light And I was already in the middle of my closer And it was so cool Oh, that's funny And the majority of that audience I mean, they were slammed in there You could never, never There won't be five people slammed Or in five years, there won't be that many people slammed in that room For any reason All on top of one another Because they all knew that- The fight was on? Yeah You mean that room meaning the bar? The bar area? Yeah, it's like this size, basically That La Jolla Club is awesome They're doing stand-up again now They're closed They closed again? Yeah, they're re-closed I was supposed to be there this weekend When did they re-close? Tuesday Because of the COVID Yeah It ramped up It's crazy because San Diego is virtually open They don't have that many cases down there But there's one county outside of San Diego that has a shitload of cases I also think they're realizing People just can't be that close to that When people see other people doing things They're like, well, I can do it We'll just do it ourselves We'll just all hang out Yep Tuesday is the big day, guys What's that? We should get shut down So if the numbers- What happens on Tuesday? We get shut down What do you mean we get shut down? What are you hearing? We're going back to level one Really?
