Joe Rogan - I Think They'll Strip Conor McGregor of His Belt

I think 55 is an amazing weight class right now. We argue on Fox that they think they try to get under my skin and say, lightweight is the best division, I said, don't play with me. What's the best division? Well, it's your division because of the class. After Habib, yeah, Habib was a beast. I haven't watched many of his fights. I watched him and I said, I need to go back to my math. He fights like that every time? Yeah, he's a monster. You see the Michael Johnson fight? I saw that clip. I must be jump, give up, smashing him. His wrestling and his ground and pound is just so ferocious. It's just on such another level. And when he gets ahold of guys, he's getting ahold of guys that are really good and just ragdolling them. Like what he did to RDA, did you ever see that fight? Yeah, I haven't seen those fights. I got to go back and look. Ragdolled RDA, he just beats the shit out of people, gets you to the ground. I was a big fan after that. I'm like, man. He's something special. He's something special. And the fact that he did that to Barbosa, he wants to move up to 72. Shit, no he don't. Hey, Melbok Mill, sit my man Habib out of pack. Nutritionist, anybody out there, I'm picking up the tab. Stay yo, psycho ass down there at 55. I'm not trying to see no Habib right now. Yeah, he's making 55 easy now though, so who knows? I think what I believe is going to happen is, I think Connor's going to vacate. I think they're going to strip him because Connor's got $100 million in the bank and I think he's having fun and talking shit and he's going to keep training and he's going to make a big fight in the future. But I think Habib versus Tony is the big fight and fuck, they might even do that one in Russia. They do that one. They're talking about doing a big fight in Russia. I heard that. Yeah, if that happens, whoo! That's a good fight. I mean, everybody's been waiting to see that fight. Fuck, yeah, that's a good fight. Tony Ferguson, very unorthodox. How many wins he's got, like 9-10 in a row? Yeah, he has the most ever in the lightweight division and I think it's at 10. I think when he beat Kevin, it was at 10. Who did he lose to? Michael Johnson? He lost to... Boy, you got to go way back. He lost him a long time. Yeah. Maybe it was Michael Johnson. Yeah, yeah. I mean, Tony's so unorthodox and awkward. He had a close one against Eve too. I don't want to eat for that fight. Yeah. He was a close one against Eve, but man, yeah. He just... Nobody has told Tony that what he's doing is not... Who's Jamie Tony? He lost to Jamie Tony earlier in his career. What is that from? National Fight Alliance. Interesting. At the Hyatt Regency. Oh, Karen Darbidian. That guy's a very good fucking submission artist. Interesting. Yeah. Boy, he didn't let 9, 10 motherfuckers have it since then. Yeah. Punch, choke, choke, choke, choke, choke. Yeah. And running over guys too, the Edson Barbeau's fight was fucking fantastic. That was a fantastic fight. He was losing that fight too, I remember that. And that's the danger about Tony. It don't really matter if he's losing that fight during the first and second round. He keeps it together. Yeah. Yeah. And the dos Andros fight was amazing too. Beat the shit out of dos Andros. That's it. I mean, he's a bad man, Tony Ferguson. You cannot sleep on Tony Ferguson. I used to. That fight is amazing. I used to be like, man, this dude striking don't look like it's something that should frighten you that much. But when it's coming so often and so weird angles and then he's going for shots and he does the exact opposite of what you think you should do in grappling and then he's in the position. And then we get there. Now he's got like five or six moves from that position. So he's like switching to here and there and there before you know it, your ass choked out. Yeah, he's something special. He's the real deal. That's an amazing fight. I love that fight.
