Joe Rogan | Recaps the Daniel Cormier/Stipe Miocic Fight

Pretty sure they showed Steep Bay just pulling off of DC. Was that the case? That was a crazy... Yeah, I got... My whole phone got blown up because apparently I'm right in the background when that happens. Oh no. Yeah, like... I don't know. I haven't seen it, but my phone blew up right then. Dude, that fight was chaos. That fight was chaos. That was fun. I had an amazing time. That card, I should say. That fight card was chaos. Yeah, that was a wild one, man. And Anaheim. It was hard watching DC get hit with those fucking body shots. Yeah, that was... Dude, as soon as he started taking in, it was like, oh wow, something's happening. Dude, Steep Bay's nasty. He wanted that belt back. The shots he took. Incredible. We were talking about, yo, the shots Steep Bay took and just walked through them like... Wow, it was crazy because DC managed to put them away with one punch the first time. That he didn't see coming. He didn't see it coming. He didn't see it coming. Everything he got hit with was hard as hell, but he saw it all coming. And he didn't let him get in that little right in his chest there because he got that short one on him that last time. That's exactly what happens if you're not prepared. If you don't think you're going to get punched and you relax for a minute and then you get punched by something you don't see coming, you can get fucked up. And when you're in a fight with a Greco-Roman wrestler of the caliber of DC who knows how to manipulate you, and he just manipulated him perfectly into that right hand. I mean, it was a beautiful work of art, but he was never able to hit him like that in the second fight as cleanly and have that kind of an effect. The shots he hit him with were pretty good shots, but Steepay ate him. And then he realized, oh, Steepay could take a fucking shot. He just got clipped. He just got caught. He could take a fucking shot. And he was there in the fourth round, which is really impressive. Like in the fourth round, he was looking good. He recognized as soon as he touched that liver shot that it was... Yup. Oh, wow, something happened there. And it hit him. He dug in like four or five straight times, man. You cannot let a guy like that punch you in the liver that many times. I'm sure DC obviously didn't want him to do that, but that's how good Steepay is. Respect to DC, though. Yeah, respect to DC. I love that guy. That was a great fight. He's one of my favorite people to do commentary with, man, for sure. He's the best. He's so fun. He's hilarious. Like when Rose Nami Yunus knocked out Yoni and J-Check, and he's like, Thought Rose! Thought Rose! I didn't forget that. That is what I love. Like, he's so free that in the middle of this... We're calling a world title fight. He's just DC. He could be himself. He's got a great personality, man. And he's a hell of a fighter, and he was dominating in the first round. What you think? He's gonna fight again, probably. I think he's gonna want to fight Steepay again, if I guess. If I really guess. I mean, if he wants to do it again, he's gonna want to fight Steepay again, because he's gonna want to... I think the way he described it is right that wrong that he did. He just didn't fight well. He didn't listen to his corner. I think that's what he thinks. It's like he fought really well in the first round, and then Bob Cook was yelling at him in the second round, keep your damn hands up. He was walking him down, almost disdainfully, walking him down. And I don't know if that was part of strategy to psychologically put up a lot of pressure on Steepay to try to establish that Steepay's done, that he's the champ now. But it was almost disdainful. But Steepay survived. And he just was there. And he was in really good shape in rounds three and rounds four. That was what was really impressive about it. I was amazed. Especially after getting fucked up quite a bit in that first round. I mean, there was a couple times where I thought he was gonna be finna... Like dude was gonna get him. Yeah. DC was all over him in that first round. And when he picked him up and dumped him, you're like Jesus Christ, DC's good. Jesus Christ, he's good. He just didn't maintain it. That's exactly what it was. And then Steepay made the adjustment. And who the fuck knows? He might decide, you know what? My body doesn't wanna do this anymore. I'm done. I know he made a ton of money. And I know he's really good as a commentator. And he'll do that forever. For sure. Or he might don't wanna do it one more time. But then there's always Jon Jones lurking, man. Everybody knows that's the biggest rivalry in MMA. Isn't it? Yeah, but the only thing... If you're gonna talk about accolades of Cormier's, he has everything, all those championships, but there's that little asterisk on the light heavyweight belt that he never really got it from Jon. Right, right. But that's the weird part about it, right? It's like when you're a champion, but the champion who's the real champion didn't lose it. And then they have an interim champion. Like, what are we doing here? What does it have... Has Jon never come back and shown that he's still him? And hopefully God willing for him keeping all this stuff together. Yeah. It would have been different. If he just kind of faded into the distance, then it changes that narrative. But he came back and his original thing was like, you ain't that guy. I'm that guy still. Yeah, it was crazy. I mean, that's how crazy good Jon is. Really, that's how crazy good Jon is.
