Joe Rogan on TJ Dillashaw's KO vs. Cody Garbrandt

He wanted to knock that dude out so bad after he got knocked out in the MMA fight Yeah, he wanted to knock him out in his rules. Yeah, and I think that's what you saw with Cody this weekend, too Yeah, so much emotion one fight. Yeah, yeah, man We were talking about that and watching the replays like you could see in his face that every shot He was trying to knock him out with as soon as I saw him walk I mean not walk out. So he looked okay walking out as soon as like the belt running. I was like He just did it. He looked a little stiff Yeah, you know and I was hoping like he would shake it off getting the rhythm like land a couple jabs Just like you know, we were working on when I spar with him a couple times leading up to the TJ fight Mm-hmm. I go up to alpha male to do my wrestling a lot of my grappling You know, they have so many hundred thirty five hundred forty five pounders up there that it you know Only an hour half away drive right it only makes sense to go up there. You know exchange knowledge So, you know as soon as I saw him walk out and started the fight I was like, I hope she's he just shakes it off and like gets in his his group Like when he brought Dom like that was artwork that was that was incredible He just let him come to him and I was hoping that that was what was his game plan Knock his fucking ass out. No He wanted to use more wrestling from what we were talking Danny and all those guys about he wanted to use more wrestling And there's a lot of kicks. Yeah, he wanted to kick a little bit as well But he also wanted to just do the same thing to what he did to Dom You know just kind of like piece him up and I mean considering the last fight He almost finished him in the first round when they first fought he was like I can I can do this I can't buy this guy. Well, I think he could finish anybody. Yeah, but it's he's got to go about it the right way Yeah, and I thought he was going about the right way initially with the yeah, yeah And I was like look even if these are just landing on the arms like these are gonna soften TJ up These are brutal. He was throwing some brutal kicks it and it was a totally different thing He was a he was adding a whole different aspect to the fight. Yeah, he did in the first fight and it was it wasn't it it it When he started throwing the kicks, I was like, yeah, there's the game plan I see what I see what's going it beautiful and then when he pointed to the ground and he was like, yes He couldn't touch me. I'm like, oh he's starting to get in his rhythm But that's what I hate about immediate rematches after a knockout. It's just it's still in your head It's just the confidence level the anger the emotion Like, you know Henry two three years between his fight with DJ where he got you know finished in the first round We're more fights fighting some other people Here's a different human. He was it. Absolutely. But if he had fought DJ the very next fight Who knows how that goes, right? But that's all it was that would be hard to sell right unless Henry was the champion and DJ took the crown from him This is the whole idea was that you know Cody had beat Dom Cody was the champ and that Cody was Defending the honor of alpha male and TJ was this snake in the grass They were gonna put away, you know That was the whole idea behind the ultimate fighter and this there was just so I don't think there's ever been a fight other than maybe Rhonda and Misha that had more emotion just more, you know bad blood Yeah, yeah Rhonda the Misha thing might have been worse So people don't remember how hated Rhonda was after that Misha fight cuz she wouldn't shake Misha's hand Yeah, like Misha tried to shake her hand and Ron was like bitch Good at it. Just walked away from her and everyone's like whoa and like why I was interviewing her was just boo Like the whole audience was booing Those emotional fights. They're so compelling to watch but man, they're so fraught with peril for them
