Joe Rogan | The Tragic Tale of Tommy Morrison

Do you remember on MTV they had a show called True Life? And there's a guy that got calf implants? Do you remember that by any chance? I remember that so vividly. I do remember that from True Life. And I was like, what a fucking... Like how? Didn't you always... Like as someone who's never had all those muscles, I would always seek like those guys and be like, I'd rather not have it than do what this bird... Like I saw that as such a pathetic thing to do. You have a foreign body that's sticking inside of you. The real problem with that is the same thing that happens to some women when they get breast implants, they get cancer. Girls are getting that in their ass now. There's new instances of ass cancer that are directly caused by these ass implants. The ass implants, I mean that is obviously probably the more important statistic. I don't think they look good. Imagine you get ass cancer. It's crazy. Imagine getting ass cancer because you're too lazy to do squats. But don't you find that like a... Because you're too lazy. Yeah, because it is. You're too lazy to do this. But don't you find it almost more permissible, forgivable in a way to say like, this woman's getting breast implants. You go like, okay. But like if a guy's like, oh, I got pec implants. Mmm. Mmm. Just fucking push on me. Exactly. I know a dude who had pec implants, he had a bunch of stuff done. I know a guy who got pec implants. Because you could sure get ass. And you know what I did when I saw him? What? I never do. Which is pat him on the chest. And I didn't know he had surgery the day before. And I was like, good to see. He was like... Like basically almost started weeping. And that's the only reason no one wants to confess that. The guy that I know killed himself. Oh, really? Yeah, he was getting a bunch of plastic surgery. I'm just killing himself. This guy should. He's fucking... No. No, Tommy Morrison got pec implants. Did he really? Yep. Tommy Gunn? Oh my God, dude. It's gross. He went off the deep end. Like this is after he... He turned HIV positive. He was doing all kinds of crazy drugs. And he got pec implants. And they were preposterous. Jamie, I know you're on this. Look at that. Look at that. Oh. That's him after we won a fight. HIV positive with pec implants. That looks horrible. Yeah, but these are even worse pictures. But look at the picture of him when he didn't have them. Right there, right? No, he probably had them there. That's pec implants. Yeah, those are pec implants. That's when he didn't have them. That's when he fought George Foreman. He was fucking jacked when he was young. I mean, he looked fantastic. Damn, he punched George Foreman. Did he win that fight? No. Yes, he did. He beat George Foreman. Wow. George Foreman is 74. George Foreman was like 55. Dude, he's still murking people. He won a decision over George Foreman, which is a substantial victory. He's like the chicken of boxing. What do you mean? Remember Chicken? The comic? No, he beat some good guys. He killed himself, right? He beat Razor Ruddock. Yes, he did. He beat Razor Ruddock. He stopped him, dropped him with a big left hook. Tommy Marsden had a nasty left hook. He just couldn't win the big fight and he got destroyed by Ray Mercer after Rocky. Look at that picture of him after he got arrested. See that picture right next to your cursor? Above that, Jamie, right there. That's him on the right-hand side, HIV positive, all fucked up. Oh my God. Did he ever get AIDS? He looked like he was... He died? I think he died of AIDS. But that was with him. Oh my God. He was falling apart. His life was over. I mean, he was just... 44? Yeah, yeah, he died really young. Wow. And that was him at 44. He looks like a seven year old man. He died at 44? Yeah. He was not doing good, man. Damn, dude. He got addicted to all kinds of drugs and his health fell apart. It was not good. I wish someone would do a documentary on chicken. He got famous... He should. I mean, Tommy Marsden got famous... He was a good boxer, like a really good boxer. And then he got famous from that Rocky movie and then his whole life fell apart. He was so good in that movie. Yeah. I remember we were in high school when that movie was out and we were standing up in the aisles like going, come on, come on, Rock! It was a good fucking movie. It was a good boxing movie. He was a good actor. There's always a thing though, right, of like if a white boxer is decent. White Hope. There's like a great White Hope kind of factor to it. Except Russians. See, Vladimir Klitschko held the title forever and no one gave a fuck. Right. Like he's not American. Well, he wasn't American and also he had a kind of a boring style. But that's him in the movie. But in real life, he was a very good boxer up until the time that he did that Rocky movie. But I think it was, I think Pussy was just like they were putting Pussy in slingshots and just shooting at him. You just shoot at him, yeah. I mean, he was a handsome guy. He was a movie star and people thought that he was going to be the next heavyweight champion of the world. And did you ever see the Ray Mercer fight? Mm-mm. Oh, cue that up. Because it's one of the most brutal knockouts. Just cue up Ray Mercer K.O.'s Tommy Morrison. Wow. It is fucking horrible. I mean, it is one of the worst, because he gets tangled in the ropes. And he keeps hitting him? I was watching with my friend Kevin, we were at a bar and we were watching it. And just go to the part where he gets KO'd. Go to the end. It's fucking rough, man. He gets caught. He gets before that, before that, way before that. He gets, yeah, so he gets, yeah, there it is. Before, just go right before this. So Ray Mercer, he started getting tired and Ray Mercer catches him in the corner and he unloads on him and Tommy Morrison's arms get tangled in the ropes so he can't go down. Like, look at this. See he's tangled in the ropes. Oh fuck. Bro, I mean, it was one of the worst K.O.'s I ever remember seeing. Look at that. I mean, Ray Mercer was a murderous puncher. Just team off on him. He was an Olympic gold medalist. Damn, late stoppage. Whoa, yeah. The referee was scared to get in there. That's the 90s for you, huh? Referee was scared to get in there. And Ray Mercer was back then. Like no one's cheering the light. Hey man, you killed that guy. Is Ray Mercer the one who fought that white MMA guy? Yeah, Tim Silvia KO'd him with one punch. And that was a rough one too because they were supposed to have a boxing match and Tim Silvia kicked his leg. Yeah, they both agreed though. Like it's MMA but we're not going to kick. This is why the commission wouldn't allow it to be a boxing match because Ray Mercer was a world champion in Olympic gold medals and Tim Silvia did not have an MMA fight or did not have a boxing fight. But he was, you know, a very high level MMA fighter. So they just, but he was past his prime. So they decided to have, they called it an MMA fight. Ray Mercer was, I think, 40. They had a gentleman's agreement. I think Ray Mercer was 46 at a time. You see, he's a gentleman's agreement. Look at the look in his face. Like, come on, man. You just say we're not going to do that. But watch this. It's just natural. Watch him setting this up. Bang! And then he gets on top of it and goes, oh, I've never been able to do this before. Punch, punch, punch. Holy shit! But I mean, the whole fight takes a few seconds. Look at this. That is a hammer of a punch. That's a slow fall. Yeah. And, you know, it was already way past Tim Silvia's prime. Tim Silvia, when he was young, he was a fucking animal. He was the one that let his arm get broken. Yes. I wanted to keep fighting. I wanted to get Frank Mira broke his arm. I remember when I was first fighting. That was Frank Mira. And it was when you could just kind of move up until people sat in the front. You could just a lot of just sit there, you know, like a baseball game. And then Tim Silvia was there and Tate was there with me. And he said hi to him and he was wearing his belt. And it might be my first ever fight. He had a championship belt. And I was like, later to Tate, I was like, are they supposed to wear their belts out? And he goes, no, he just does that. Tim Silvia wore that belt everywhere. He wore his gloves. Fuck yeah. He's the head of the champion of the world. He's the head of the champion of the world. He's the head of the champion of the world. He's the head of the champion of the world. He's the head of the champion of the world. He's the head of the champion of the world. He's the head of the champion of the world. He's the head of the champion of the world. He's the head of the champion of the world. He's the head of the champion of the world. He's the head of the champion of the world. He's the head of the champion of the world. He's the head of the champion of the world. He's the head of the champion of the world. He's the head of the champion of the world. He's the head of the champion of the world. He's the head of the champion of the world. He's the head of the champion of the world.
