Joe Rogan on Khabib vs. Tony Ferguson

That's a crazy fight. That is a horrible time. I'm at. So rock and sock and robots fight. That's a who the fuck knows fight. You know, that's one of those fight where you're like, whoa, that's going to be a crazy one. Tony Ferguson's a bad motherfucker and could be never come out off is already one of the scariest guys I've ever seen compete ever malls people already. This is his first shot at the title. Just stop and think what happens if that fucking Savage gets the title that guy some mashes people what he did to Edson Barboza was supernatural. It's like he's not even the same thing. You said something during that fight that said it all there was one point of the fight that you said look at the look in Edson's face. Yeah, and I've had that look and that's when you're getting chased by 18 people. He had a look that he didn't know. He had no hope. He had no hope. He went into like a survival situation like like when you see a deer that's getting attacked by a crocodile or something. They have this like survival thing where you're like you're just trying to survive. Obviously deer is not the same. I thought it's terrible analogy. I felt correct this what I think is that Barboza had realized that like there's no way he's going to beat this guy on the ground. It's not even close. Like I think if he went to that fight probably thought he'd be able stuff more takedowns and probably able to get back off his feet because he was doing that with a lot of guys in camp. But once that guy gets a hold of you, there's an acceptance that certain fighters go through where they they're locked down like holy shit. Like they're just drained from this animal mall and trying to retain their energy trying to recharge their battery trying to get back in it and you got to realize that guy is in problems is one of the best fucking kickers ever ever. He's one of the best kickers ever that fucking guy is the fastest switch kick I've ever seen in my life outside of like professional Muay Thai like San Chai or Blue Cow or something like that. He's got a world-class left leg kick. I mean whoo, he's fast as fuck. He couldn't keep that guy off him. That was a scary that guy's face to me where he drilled for hours. He drilled takedown defense. He drilled everything there was but he never drilled this couldn't do it like there was one where he looked and it was like wait a second. I've done everything I can I even I even train with the Giants taking me down for a week different animal ever felt this different. I don't know how he keeps you down either his control on that side is fucking something that is there's certain guys that have a grappling skill that it's very hard to see when you look at even if you you're a skillful grappler yourself you looking at someone like you like why is he able to do that to everybody like what what is he doing differently like why is this one guy being able to do certain things that other people can't do and there's a few of those guys out there. Well, you watch him you just go Jesus like what the fuck and but he was the number one guy in that category because he's never been defeated said one moment of adversity in the Octagon you clip by a punch from Michael Johnson. I can't think of a single round. He's lost. Not off the top of my head at least and he may have lost rounds on some judges scorecards, but he's essentially mauled every motherfucker they put in front of him. He's an animal. So this guy versus Tony is phenomenal fight because Tony is a savage and Tony fights very well off of his back. He is a seriously dangerous guard. You can't sleep on him. He's durable as fuck. He can knock you out. He never gets tired and he's as game as they come and he's a fucking champ right now. He's the interim champ. You know when he beat Kevin Lee with a triangle you beat a top guy like Kevin Lee with a fucking triangle. That's a big move. Tony's dangerous nasty Dars chokes is Dars chokes one of the best. Kevin Lee is great, but he wasn't ready for Tony. Kevin Lee is sick to get staff that's that's that's action. But no unquestionably. He wasn't Tony as is too high level. That was to you could see in the second round perhaps I would like to see that fight again. You have to say that because that's how it went down. I will sorry, but I think that if you wanted to have them fight again and Kevin Lee can go in there that fight healthy. I think you'd see a very different fight. I don't think you would see Tony. I'm not saying that you would see Tony lose or Kevin win, but I would think you would see a Kevin Lee that could sustain his performance longer. I think being drained from staff is just right. There's no joke. There's no if I've had it before it's the worst your body can sound the worst but it's not good. Your body goes into a very weakened state. It's your you are not the same thing. You're just not you can. If you're a real professional, you can go out there and do your job and a lot of guys have a lot of guys have fought and won Luke Rockhold be Chris Weidman on antibiotics. How about that? He was fighting off staff when he beat Chris fucking wide man. That's how good Luke Rockhold is guys have done it, but that's not him at a hundred percent. He wanted he wanted 70 or 80 or whatever the fuck it was, you know, there's no doubt about it staff infections and antibiotics both fuck you up and Kevin Lee I believe opted to not take the antibiotics till after the fight. So he did want to weaken his system, but he's still weakened by the staff. Fuck. Fuck all that shit. Dimitris Johnson versus TJ Dilla Shaw super fight targeted for UFC 226 and co-made event. Oh shit. Where's 226 at? I don't know. July Vegas. Steep a DC fight. Oh shit. That's a big car. Let me tell you something bro. They got some good cards coming up. That's a great is Kevin Kevin sleeping. Don't sleep motherfucker. This game might run by by your shit. I was motherfucking fights are getting better and better now again.
