Joe Rogan - Brendan Schaub's Argument with Nate Diaz, Conor vs Nate III

Hello freak bitches. Dude, I... When I was in the back after the fight, right? So again, I'm with... I heard about this. Yeah. Tell me about this. Can we just clear it up now? So many people have been blowing me up. So again, I'm with Terence Crawford, American Berto, and I'm in the back and they're saying how good Connor did. I'm like, yeah, great. You know, I thought he was going to do even better. You know, I'm surprised. You know, he did well. And Showtime won me go do this post-fight show thing. So I'm going, and I see Nate Diaz, and he's by himself. Like, no one's really by him. He's by himself. He's on his phone. And I see him, and I think, oh, same fraternity. UFC guys. There's no UFC representatives there, really. There's like, Dana, I didn't see him at the fight. I just figured, hey, we're brothers in arms. Yeah, what's up, man? But I was going towards him because he looked busy. I was going to go towards him. And whether he wanted my help or not, I figured I'd know a few things about marketing. The next fight for him is Connor. I'm assuming he's there to sell that fight. That should be the next fight, Connor. I'm going to go to him. I'm going to go to him. I'm going to go to him. I'm going to go to him. I'm going to go to him. I'm going to go to him. I'm going to go to him, because I saw some interviews that was kind of hating on Connor. And I would have spun it the other way. He should have celebrated Connor and what he did winning rounds against the best of all time and saying, look, I beat him up worse than Floyd. Now we're going to do this trilogy. I'm going to end him faster than Floyd did. Like, that should be the sell. I was going to go talk to him about this. So I see him at the corner of my eye. I'm like, oh, and they're like, come on, bro. We got to go. I'm like, what's up to this guy? I'm like, yo, Nate, bro, how about that fight, man? You're next. Biggest fight in UFC history, brother. And he starts laughing. He's like, oh, hell no. How fucking stupid do you look now? And I'm like, I'm like, Kafka. I'm like, what? He's like, how stupid do you look? Talking all this shit. I'm like, whoa, what are you doing right now? What the hell are you doing right now? And he keeps talking. And I go, Nate, he doesn't like that stupid. He won rounds against the best box of all time. And then Nate's like, he didn't win rounds. He gave him one round. I'm like, all right, man, either way. So he won rounds, though. What are you doing? And he just keeps talking shit. And then he starts talking about my career. And I'm like, what is going on right now? I go, Nate. Who's mad at you? I went, Nate, I have no issues with you. You're pointing your gun at the wrong guy. What are you doing right now? You should be selling this fight against Connor, not me. I'm not the guy. I said, I'm in skinny jeans and scoochie boots, for God's sake. What are you doing right now? You know what I'm saying? Right. And then Showtime was like, come on, let's go, boys. I'm like, Jesus Christ, man. I keep going. I was just embarrassed by the situation. Because he kept talking. He kept doing this. And this is the part I left out. This is what triggered him. He was talking. I literally couldn't hear him. Because people were like, shab, let's go. Because they didn't want to fight. So I shab, let's go. And he keeps talking. And I'm like, Nate, use your words. I can't understand the words you're saying. Use your words. Oh. And he probably has that list or whatever. That probably set him off. But I have no issues with Nate. So that's when it got ugly? Yeah. Then he kept talking shit. And I was like, what are you going to do? What are we doing here? And he kept doing this. I'm like, what the fuck is happening? I was so embarrassed because the Showtime guy's like, oh my God, who is that guy? I'm like, that's the guy who's supposed to fight Connor next. They fought before. And like, what's wrong with him? What's wrong with him? I'm like, it's just, I was so embarrassed, man. I'm like, oh, God. Now I have no issues with him. Do you think that Connor wants that fight? I do. You think that's a good money fight? I do. I think it's the only fight. I think, you know, I think it's the true winner because those fights at 70 are toss up. One and one is whatever. Neither one should be fine at 70. At 55, a trilogy fight makes sense for the belt. It'd be the biggest paper you have of all time. I think it's the only fight that makes sense. You can't do Khabib. Tony and Kevin Lee, they're just not big enough stars to get Connor to come out. You can't do Khabib because Khabib hasn't made the way. True. And he's not ready to fight. He's just, you know, he's never... I don't understand that. So how can you sell Khabib right now? Like, so let's say just in a perfect world, you want to do Khabib versus Connor, and you go on this world tour trying to build Khabib up. You go to Russia, you go all over. Connor wants to fight him in Russia. Crazy. How do we know he's going to make weight and doesn't pull out? So he's out of the equation right now. He needs to come back, fight someone else. So he needs to get his body sorted out. He needs to figure some shit out. Luke Rockhold was saying that his liver shut down. I read it in an interview. Apologize. I didn't hear him say it. I read it in an interview. He said that his liver shut down when he was cutting weight for the Michael Johnson fight. Scary. And then the next fight after that, he didn't make weight. His body shut down for the Ferguson fight, and they canceled the fight. I'll tell you what, though, Khabib's not even in the conversation for me anymore. Until he gets his shit together, I'm not even going to entertain the idea of him fighting. He looks thick too when you look at him. I like Kevin Lee. I like Kevin Lee. He's bad motherfucker. He's a complete package. He's a bad dude, but the thing is, he speaks well, he looks the part. He talks a lot of shit. He's great. He says, well, he has all the makings of your next superstar. Yeah. And he realizes now, especially in the Conor McGregor era, you've got to talk a lot of shit. Yeah. You floyt's at it best. You just can't win fights. You've got to sell yourself. Listen, Kevin Lee is only, I think, 25. He's young, 25 or 24. Yeah. Find out he's 24 or 25. Super young, right? Now, remember how brash Connor was when he first got to the UFC. Yeah. Very similar. He's like 26, I believe. Okay. So he's 24. September 4th, he's almost 25. He'll be 25 in a couple of days. He's super talented, looks better every time you see him. So he's essentially like somewhere around Connor's age when Connor, he's like a year younger than Connor when he's kind of first burst on the scene. And Connor was nobody back then. Nobody knew who he was. I'd seen him on the internet and from fights in England and I knew he was really talented. I actually went back and forth with him with some tweets before he got to the UFC. So there's a few people who knew about him, but it was nothing like what you see now. Nothing, right? Kevin Lee down the road is a 155 pounder who talks a lot of shit. He's a bad motherfucker. He looks great. He speaks well. Built like a brick shit house. Speaks well. Speaks well. African American. Dressed as well. Check, check, check, check, check, check. All the boxes. And he can fucking fight. So that's the biggest thing. That fight with Conor McGregor down the road. You're going to need more time by here. Down the road. That's the best thing for Conor. But he could do it. To me, Kevin Lee is your next big thing. However, Kevin Lee versus Tony Ferguson is a tough fight. Tony's so goddamn good. It's a great fight. And here's another one. Tony Ferguson down the road. Tony Ferguson can talk some shit too. Tony Ferguson is very smooth. Tony Ferguson is very confident. He's also a weirdo. He's weird. He has that weird vibe. You get that weird vibe. Phenomenal fighter. He's so intense. Phenomenal classes. Wing Chung and shit. And he does all these weird moves where he's like flowing on the ground and rolling around. He does a lot of weird shit. But his endurance is off the charts. He cuts a shitload of weight and does it like a professional. Next again to set. He can capitalize on that. And he wins by knockout. And he also wins by submission. He's exciting as shit. Very exciting. Look at the guys he's beat too. Very exciting. It's a tough test for Kevin. It's a very tough test. It's a very good fight. To me, as far as like potential like superstardom. Those are the guys. To me, that's the guy right now I think. Yeah maybe. But if Tony Ferguson becomes the interim champion and starts talking all kinds of crazy shit, his star will rise man. Don't get me wrong. There's a difference between rising and then becoming like a straight up superstar.
