Rogan & Max Holloway Recap Jose Aldo vs. Marlon Moraes | Joe Rogan

Styles. That's one of the cool things about the sport. There's so many different ways to do it. Genetics, you know, especially like look... Him, uh... Moriah, Moriah, Jose Aldo, look up Brazilians guys. These guys are fast twitch stupid muscles. Unfair. Why are you guys so fast for? What did you think? Did you watch the Moriahs Aldo fight? I was warming up during it. So I kinda got to see, kinda didn't, so I never really watched it. Most people are pretty salty on the decision. Yeah. How do you feel? I didn't like it. I thought Aldo was pressuring him. I thought... He, look, he opened up with a switch kick to the head. And had Aldo staggering a little bit. With Aldo covered up. And weathered the storm. And then Aldo started putting the pressure on him. And Aldo started hitting him with big punches. And really was controlling the center of the octagon. And really pressuring him and being very aggressive. And then he got taken down the last couple of seconds of the first round. But nothing happened. He just took him down and hold him. In my mind, that shouldn't mean much. That don't mean nothing. That doesn't mean anything. I get mad about takedowns period in MMA. Because I don't understand how I can beat somebody up for 4 minutes and 50 seconds. And you take the last 10 seconds. You take me down for the last 10 seconds and you win the round. It's crazy. Doesn't make any sense. I think so. You have to take me down. And if you're not gonna advance, you at least gotta ground and palm me for 30 seconds, 40 seconds. To make that legitimately takedown. I agree. It should be something happens when you go to the ground. 100%. You gotta brutalize the guy or threaten with a submission. It's gotta be something. But with Marlin and Jose Aldo, if they gave that first round to Marlin, it's on the basis of that high kick. Some strikes landed, but I thought Aldo did more. And I did Aldo did more in the second round. And I thought Aldo won the fight. I thought it was close, but I thought Aldo won the fight. I think he was more aggressive. Everybody's tripping on his wig cut him. He looked good though. He looked good. Aldo just had high cheekbones. And then he was leaving his facial hair for like all five weeks. So people were like, oh my God, he looks scary. I'm like, guys, this is how he looks. This is his face. He's bald too. That doesn't help when you have bald hair. People just think he looks crazy already. Well, you know, that was the first fight that he ever had a nutritionist for his whole career. That's what I heard. That is crazy. That's crazy. I thought it was like, man, that's what I heard. I heard his meals when he was at 45 was just whatever he wanted to eat. He felt like eating whatever he wanted to eat. He did it. I'm like, yeah, that's why this dude is one of the greatest all the time. He's an animal. Well, he ate whatever he wanted, and then he just drained the shit out of himself. Yeah, exactly. But he had some times during his career where people didn't think he was going to be able to make 45 anymore. He was going to have to go up to 55. So then to see him down at 35 was crazy. What I saw when I saw him when he was posing and getting ready, I saw muscles. Yeah. It wasn't like he was like, yeah, you see some guys when they're just they're making a bad way. They just look like shit. Yeah, he just looked ripped. No, he looked good. He looked real good. You know, even when I because I saw him. What did I see him all during media day or whatever early in the week. I even worked out me and him had the same workout room for one of the nights and we worked out together. And when I shook them, I shook hands, you put in a hug. First thing I go back to my class, like that heart is a rock. He's going to make weight. When you when you're that hard and you have muscle, it's much easier to cut water. Right. When you touch someone they saw it was like, yeah, my man. I don't know how you're going to do this. Wait, guys, I guess you don't make peace be with people. People don't think that right. And we had it's it's we had a conversation about that with the fuck is his name. It wasn't Dolce. It was the other guy. Oh, I'll remember his name in a minute. Lockhart. Yes, thank you. George Lockhart. Sorry, George. It's the weed. I blame the weed. But Lockhart was saying that big muscular guys. It's easier. It's easier. You can suck. You can suck water out of someone who's muscular because his muscle muscle is going to let go. Let go of water. But if you have fat fat is going to hold on to everything. Right. That's why you fat. To be honest. Yeah, you're holding on to whatever goes in your body. Holy shit. What is this? Let's just hold on to it. Muscle is like once something bad like muscles won't even hold on. Hold on to something bad if you eat sugar and you're so muscular, you feel sick. It's funny how different guys look on the scale versus the next day. Lumbard was a good example. When he would make 170, he would look so much smaller on the scale. On the next day, he'd be like, fuck, is this the same guy? It's muscle, yeah. All muscle. And then muscle wants water. So when you put water into that bad boy, my gosh, you look like a balloon. Yeah.
