Joe Rogan Recaps Stylebender/Gastelum w/Brendan Schaub

In the very very best shootouts man the kelvin gas stellum style bender fight was a shootout best style of fight for me I've ever watched ever it's one of the best fights of all time has to be it has to be and when you see Style bender get rocked in the first one dropped you like Holy shit, I think it's best thing that happened to him. It's a good thing. I think it's a good thing for career wise and going Forward, it's a good thing. You face a little adversity. We see that he's not gonna get hit and crumble You and I you got one you got a special dude in style bender and how good is Kelvin god damn? He's tough how fast are you so tough? He's so fucking tough and even after all that I mean style bender was teeing off on him in that fifth round and Kelvin is finding a way to survive. I'm a great chin credible style bender's face look like he was allergic to shellfish Man who's in a war Kelvin hit him with some bombs man bombs But I think and it's also I think it's good We saw we saw us on you get hit get knocked down. We saw him get taken down Yeah, we saw what happens when he's off his back look pretty fucking dude. He's trying to Transition step in a triangle locked up who knows what the fuck would happen if that was early in the fight They were dry so I think he that that fight for stop and checked all the boxes but also what's great about this is Kelvin stock doesn't go down. No if anything like I'd watch that guy fight whenever whenever and let's be honest He's really a welterweight correct. He's super small for a Darren till can make 170 pounds so can Calvin It's a discipline thing. Yes. I just think there should be more weight classes. I don't even think it's I don't think he's a talk your boy Dana man as well as a 65 you could tax him no one listens to me and I don't want him to really yeah I do I'd rather be just stay out here and talk about it Yeah, I want to be involved. Well happens pushed it. I've said I think there should be a weight class every time I get out of here We could like dangle the carrot back yo, we'll do a fight campaign every time on 165 or fights and just dangle that carrot Yeah, he surprised it wouldn't do it probably still wouldn't do it It's um it's one of those things where like I think they'd like it the way it is if it ain't broke don't fix it Yeah, but it doesn't make sense because if you're gonna do all these intern belts, why not do 65? I think belts on belts on belts you think they would think that it's watered down Too many weight classes the people just be jumping back and forth from weight class which they would be talking about chaos Which I love but you would also have people that find a weight class where they could be at their best Versus either have to bulk up or have to drop too much weight and compromise yourself But here's a happy medium for a lot of guys that are not they're not hitting that happy right now You're we're not getting their best performance But here's the thing about so if Kelvin should be a 170 year style benders a small 85 er. Yes He weighed in at 183. Yep. He weighed under the weight limit. So look at how big some of these guys are Oh my god, Brandon Davis, dude, they're good that fights you 35. He was 160 dude. There was Brandon Davis, right? Was it who said that well some of those 85ers like you look at jock array you get your Romero Joe Romero's gigantic, dude Let's see what I mean. It's gonna happen. Think about your Romero stop it like your middle Jack dude. Yeah, it's a big fight stop it or could probably make 170 easier than fuck And 85 me 85 is a a big weight class. Yeah, that's why you have you seen the talk and makes no sense Style bender and John Jones, that's crazy. What are we doing? Who who the fuck's picking up on that's just cuz they're talking shit what he just the last card just It just says yeah, he blew him back up to 160 pounds. Yeah, it was Brandon Davis, right? Yeah, he's really talented It's crazy when I'm standing next to him that this guy weighed in at 35 because I'm looking at him He looked at all of 165 pounds. He looks so he's 510 He looks so big for that 135 pound weight class like this is crazy Well, you've max at 45 fucking huge but the UFC Performance Institute gave him the green light to do that Wow, so they must have known what they were doing Says David's height with cost was a first in the band weight division said he needed to make serious sacrifices to get there He said he cut out drinking alcohol Shit and ran 20 miles per day Oh the terrible I know where to make the way by the time he stepped in the octagon at 236 Balloon back. Let me see this dude. He's really big man. He was huge. Well, the thing is that the He was also He was not just like tall but he's like he's thick you can it's weird how you can lose that much weight But why not just fight at 45? Why kill yourself like why 20 miles by day 45? He fought Zabit You know his last fight. Well, yeah, Zabit Magomedh Sharapov It's a beat got him in that crazy arm bar from the back I remember that like like yeah, which is so nasty from filthy back mount. It's nasty. There's two that night Whoo, I know it's crazy. That's a crazy move, right? I think when I think of 185 is think of Luke Rockwell. Mm-hmm. He's huge man. Yeah, it's a big ass He's huge, but then Whitaker is not like I think freaks are big. I think Luke's done with 85 Yeah, he's at 205 now is it No, it's a hundred percent. He has a fight lined up already But it I mean is he gonna stay there as you just doing it for one fight pretty sure he's staying there
