Joe Rogan | The Gap Between a Pro-Fighter and a Regular Person w/Luis J. Gomez

He'd have to take it. Well, that's what I when I was training for that MMA fight against a comedian. I trained with Bisping twice and I grapple with Bisping and Bisping is not even known for his jujitsu. Of course he is. He's got very good jujitsu. He's a brombo. Oh, I know. His guard, his defensive guard is one of the best in MMA. Very rarely do people pass his guard when he's on the ground. He's excellent. But primarily, you know, he's known as a striker. Primarily. Primarily. I can't explain to you. It was like I felt like a lion was just toying with me. It was and it was it was a strange thing because I'd never in my life because you obviously you know, an MMA fighter can beat you up. You know, a professional mixed martial arts can beat you up. But I don't think people realize how badly and how big of the gap it is because it's not it's but they don't know, Joe, you know, people have no fucking clue until you do it. And I had no idea until this is last summer and I just and he was fucking around with me for a second. It was terrifying. And I feel like less of a man. I can't look at my son in the eyes the same way that I used to be able to. I don't fuck right anymore. Oh, come on. You'll be all right. You know what it's like? It's like, do you know how people see someone do stand up and they think I could fuck to do that? Everyone. That's how we all started. Right. But because you're just talking, the guys just talking. Yeah, that's what fighting is like. It's like you look at a guy like Bisping and you know, he's like a normal guy. I mean, he's obviously very athletic and he's big and everything like that. But he's he's not Shaquille O'Neal. He's not like some seven foot, some specimen. He's a regular size human. So you're like, well, he's moving like a regular human. I could do that. But you have no idea. It is. No idea. You're beyond helpless. You have no idea. Literally. Yeah. You have no idea. You grab the hold of you. You're you're a dead person. Almost anybody in the UFC, any any person, the average person, even if you're training, it doesn't matter. They can take you. There's levels. Do what they want to do. Yeah. There's intellectual levels. Like I always feel like that whenever I talk to people that are really smart, like if I have a Sean Caro or a Neil Grass Tyson or someone on the podcast, you talk to me just like, God damn, I'm fucking stupid. Yeah. You know, there's just, there's levels to this, this level to this understanding of life that's like, but that's with everything with standup, but artwork with, with someone choking the life out of you. Yeah. This is day, man. I've been doing jujitsu since 1996. If I roll with certain people, it's just, it's a matter of when I'm going to get strangled, they don't even have to be bigger than me. It'd be smaller than me. It's when am I going to tap? When's it coming? I had a friend of mine who was like a really athletic dude who I get he, he, thought of a different, it's a friend of a friend, but he trains out of a, he's like a trainer out of a Gracie school in Florida. And he told me one time he, he got to roll with hoist Gracie and I said, no, I was like, what was it like? Was it like, was he like that much better? I think this guy has a high level black belt. Like he's like, dude, he was like, when we're talking about levels, he was like, he was toying with me like I had never done it before. And that's how, that's how good, um, those guys are.
