Usman vs Masvidal Full Fight Commentary | JRE Fight Companion

This fight, man. Holy shit. This fight's crazy. Here we go, baby. Jamie, give me a little volume since I don't have headphones on. I'm gonna hear a little of this. The great Bruce Buffer. I can't wear headphones with this beautiful kangaroo meat hat. I don't know what this is made out of. Is this made out of kangaroo, does it say? He told me, I forgot. What do you think like the most like demonic or haunted relic you have in here is? I feel like so much of this crazy stuff's probably from some hidden temple or something, right? That's a good question. What's the most haunted shit we have in here? That's his picture, Brody's picture. Brody's picture might be the most haunted. Yeah. Part of an Aztec Empire. The energy of those. Stonehenge. Dinosaur food. Who gave us that again? The energy from that, those things. The mitzies? The horns. The elves? Yeah. The horns. Have a weird energy. That's dinner. That's great energy. That thing gives me good energy. I love those things. Did you eat that animal? I ate the fuck out of that one. That one's already eaten. That's, I shot that elk. Two and a half, three years ago, whatever it was. Yeah, I ate him. Wow. I ate his liver. I ate his heart. I ate everything. How big was he? Just a big elk. You remember the way? Took me like a year to eat them. Damn. I had elk and eggs this morning for breakfast. That's great. Bro, if they do like an analysis of my DNA, they'd be like, what in the fuck? This dude's 90% deer meat. Is that all you eat now? I eat a lot of it, man. I cook, I'll cook a big elk roast. It's so good. Every week and then I'll eat it for breakfast. I'll slice it up. Put hot sauce on it. I eat it cold. I say it's a jalapeno. I eat it. You get a Traeger yet Joey Diaz? A Traeger grill, a smoker? No. I'm telling you dude. Yeah. Okay. You would if you had this mam and jam, right? I'm telling you. I'm only looking at food raw, bro. You don't like looking at food raw? Do you look at me? If you look at me, you're like, Joey, this is a great cook. I could sit with you and tell you how they do it at a certain restaurant because I've hung up in the kitchen. But as far as me looking at a chicken, a raw chicken and touching it, all that shit. Really? No. Man, I could picture you over a grill. You get casted for every character that stands over a grill. I used to make chicken a la cocoa when I was a kid, which was chicken cutlets, like with onions and garlic and stuff. Usman just walked all the way across the cage and stood right in front of Mazvidal as they said his name. Wow. This is going to be crazy. This is very interesting. Very interesting. Because this is the biggest strongest guy that Mazvidal has ever fought at welterweight. Look how long he's here. He was a pretty big guy at welterweight too. But physically, Kamaro is a different animal. I mean, he's a national champion wrestler and just a spectacular physical specimen. Look at this. Low kick right away from Mazvidal. Another low kick and he clicked on the left hook. Oh, inside low kick. Mazvidal took him down. Or excuse me, Kamaro took him down. Mazvidal is a very good wrestler though. He's real sneaky. Very sneaky with his grappling. It's interesting that it's down this fast. Yeah, it is interesting, but he's kind of holding on. Let's see what he's able to do. Did you just fart? No. What happened? That was a good chance. What I was going to say is that, you know, he fought at lightweight most of his career. Mazvidal did. And Usman is much bigger. I mean, he's an enormous lightweight. He's about as big as a lightweight. Excuse me, enormous welterweight. He's about as big as a welterweight can get. And the only guy to beat Usman was a lot taller than him, right? Isn't that what he said? Usman got caught in, I think it was his first pro fight. He got caught with a rear-nicket choke. Yeah. And he got tapped, but I don't think it had anything to do with someone being bigger. He just didn't understand jiu-jitsu then. Yeah. He's out. He's up. Interesting. Not much damage at all. Nothing. Very little happened there. But now on the feet, I give a big advantage to Mazvidal, especially when it comes to, wow, especially when it comes to combinations. He lands wild combinations. Inside low kick again. Bro, if Mazvidal wins his fight, he's a goddamn superstar. Yeah. Oh, nice knee to the body. Oh shit. He hurt him. He hurt him with that knee. Oh, and he kicked him in the body. Whoo. What did you say in Cuban a second ago? The thing about this fight is that Mazvidal was training for a fight on July 11th, but then the negotiations didn't go well. And then they gave it to Gilbert Burns because Gilbert Burns was willing to take a different deal that Mazvidal wouldn't take. But he was still training. Now he says he was ready anyway because he thought that one of these guys is going to fall out because a lot of times guys do fall out. Guys get injured all the time. I would say it's like 40% of the time and these big fights some shit happens and things fall apart. I mean, Dr. Poirier said he's been training all along. Yeah, he does. It's smart, man. It's smart. Look at Khabib and Tony Ferguson have never happened every fucking time. They're supposed to happen. It doesn't happen. That fight's been canceled five times. So when you're at this level, it's a smart move. If they're negotiating with you for a fight on July 11th, just keep training man. Even if the negotiations fall apart because if you do get that call six days out and you are in shape, but the question is like is Mazvidal. I mean, we don't know. We don't know how much he was training and we don't know what he did do. Oh, big shot by Usman. Little blood over Mazvidal's eyebrow. Oh, see, see what I'm saying? He's sneaky. He sets stuff up. He does like some crafty veteran shit in there. See, like he'll rush you hit you with shots coming in. Look how Usman's those calm and steady calm and steady. That's how he was with Colby to calm and steady. Just kept that pressure on. Didn't really throw a hundred percent heat until he knew he had him hurt. He just stays calm and steady. He'll stab you in the stomach a lot with those front kicks too. But see Jorge is catching him with these combinations man. Oh, this is not good for Usman. Oh shit. Mazvidal is just too clever and fast with his hands. He's got to get away from that cage. And with the right hand, Oh, big shots of the body by usman. The wild thing about Mazvidal is he basically outboxed Nate Diaz who he beat the shit out of Nate Diaz man who shit out of him. That was who outboxed Connor McGregor who won rounds against around at least against Mayweather. Well, they were talking about setting up Mazvidal and Connor McGregor and Dana where it was like get the fuck out of here. He's like, I'm not having that fight. That is not happening. That is not and they were also talking about setting him up with Usman. And again, Dan White was like get the fuck out of here because they were talking about it right after he knocked out Cowboy when Connor knocked out Cowboy. He's like, I fucking love myself at 170. I'm fucking strong. I feel great Joe. That's much better than my Jimmy Schuber. I can do all these things. I can do all these things at 170. Look at this. Boom. Oh, big right hand there by Usman on the break. Bink. Look at that right hand. Oh, and the left hook on the break. Again, chopping at that leg, that low calf kick. You know, what's interesting, Mazvidal stands dead straight. Like you watch how he stands up. He doesn't look like he's avoiding the takedown at all. Look at that take a single. They got out of it. Wow. I know way high to that's stretched him out hard to do. Oh, look at this. He's deciding he must have got some good coaching in the corner and they're like, hey listen, fuck all this boxing. You're the best wrestler in this division. Get a hold. There you go. Get a hold of this guy. Drag him to the fucking ground and mall him. That's what you do. Because he's getting hit too many times. And he's only human. As tough as Usban is. A guy like Mazvidal clips you a few times. That little video game power bar just keeps dropping. Kind of impressive. What I was going to say about Mazvidal is that he stands straight up. He doesn't like have it doesn't look like he's trying at all to stop takedowns. It looks like he's in a kickboxing fight. He's like got perfect upright posture, but his balance is so good and his takedown defense is so good. He usually can avoid them. It's a weird position. They're in. It's got risk control. It's taking a lot of footstomps. Yeah, those are weird man. And if someone does them perfectly. Whoa, nice elbow there. Someone does it perfectly. You can you can you can damage someone's foot, but it's oftentimes it's just annoying. Yeah, it seems like those really are good left hand of the body by Usman. He's digging into the liver with that. I guess in the new video game you could do like Florida backyard Octagon. I feel like we're Mazvidal and Kimbo Slice used to fight. Yep. Does it look like Mazvidal is like white stuff on his face? I'm the only one seeing that on white stuff on his face. What do you mean? It looks like he is like. He's like losing color in his face or something. What's what are you talking about? You see that like how it looks like he sort of has like a sun sun tan lotion on or something. It's not the like the contrast. He's just sweating. Yeah, maybe it's just the contrast on the TV or something. I think it's just sweating in a fight. He's got to get away from the fucking cage. Boy stop when this poor guy's leaning on you. Usman definitely just doesn't want to. Well, he's just being smart. Yeah, his strength is in his grappling and his physical size and power and the more he does this to Mazvidal and the way he's digging into the body the more he does this the more it's going to take away from Mazvidal's ability to explode on him. What is Mazvidal need to do here big step to the left and push with the left arm. He's definitely got to get his back away from the cage for sure. He's got to try to turn him. He's got to escape. He's got to somehow or another get out of this clench. But it's like how much energy is he going to take to do that? And if he does do that will Usman be able to put him right back on there? He's got to do something or he's losing this round. I mean, he's only got 55 seconds to go, right? Oh, and he keeps shoulder checking them. I mean, Mazvidal smiling, but he's for sure giving up this round. Oh, good left hand by Usman. Masvidal still is a full gas tank right now. Oh, nice inside low kick. Oh, shit. Oh, God. I'm that's that's why Usman wanted to do that. Oh, shit. Oh, nice low kick. Damn, they didn't catch that one on camera. They were they had a mid body camera shot. That was a nice low kick. Yeah, Masvidal. Big control. He stand up. I. What does that mean? It means good. Good things are happening, Tony. Fucking white people. Am I right, Joey? Cubans. You talk a whole different language. I'm over here with a crocodile. Doug D had on. Yeah, it was the contrast, by the way. There's no. Yeah, it's beautiful. Yeah. It's your perfect skin. He's telling them don't let him hold on to it. He's telling them don't let him hold on to you. Oh, yeah, you can translate this. Breathe through your nose. Breathe. They must listen to my podcast with James Nestor. Got a lot of gook over his left eye. Look at that shit. They should wipe that off. That's all your Romero. That goop is it'll get into his eyeball, though. I think it's just Vaseline, but. In boxing, they actually use adrenaline to stop cuts to stop bleeding, which is interesting. I wonder how that even works. Like it's a cream. I think it's like an ointment, like an adrenaline ointment that they use to stop the bleeding. I've never asked a doctor about it, but I know that they have heard commentators talk about it how they use adrenaline. Have you ever interviewed Tyson Fury? Yes. He's awesome. Any chance he got to use the kick machine? No, he didn't use the kick machine. I'd love to know what he'd score on that if he tried from a punch that dude could kick if he could land a kick with his punching and just brains. Well, in Ghanu punches almost as hard as I kick. Like when you look at the meter, like what it registers, he has the hardest registered punch on that thing. And for a while, I had the hardest registered kick, but some of the dude bested me. Damn. I fucked my knee. See, you can kick as hard as Nagano can punch or harder. I kick harder. Holy shit. Yeah, but it's a leg, dude. Yeah. Right. It's a big difference, but that's still pretty cool thing to think. But I was doing it with Joe Schilling and oh shit, nice inside low kick. Oh shit. They're getting after it here. Oh. Third round here. Things are heating up. Anyway, I tore my meniscus doing it like an idiot. Me and Joe Schilling are doing it. I had my pants on, no warm up. 52 years old, full blast kicking this back like an idiot. And then the next day my meniscus was really sore. I got an MRI. I have a little tear in there now. Been working on it ever since trying to fix it. That stretching is important. It's not even stretching. It's getting everything warmed up. Stretching is okay, but really what's important is getting heat in your muscles and sweating. Did you take one of the nuts there? What happened? This is nice. He's gonna take a little break here. For Jorge. What did he do here? I'm confused. I didn't see that replay. Did you? Yeah, it didn't look like a low blow there. Maybe it was a different shot. I didn't see the the replay at all. The replay looked above the groin, but I think they may have shown up. They're telling me as the time punch after that. Is Usman talking to him? I don't think so. Look at Usman. He's ready. Let me see this. Whoa, what's that? That's the part that was weird. He cupped his nuts. Yeah. Yeah, that was it. It wasn't the punch. Cause that's when he reacts on the other angle. I'm serious. Nut cup. It's like you're gonna let him squeeze my junk like that. Who's your favorite referee, Joe Rogan? Herb Dean. Yeah. I think Herb Dean is the best, but there's a lot of guys that are really good. There's like there's that level that Herb Dean level now, especially now the big John McCarthy's retired. But there's a lot of really good guys. I just when I see Herb Dean I get I feel safe. Like Herb's not gonna fuck this up. So weird. How quiet is in there? Oh, it's weird. Fuck. Joey, you got to go there live. I wish you come with me. I'm watching this. I'm like this just I wish you could come with me to one. There's a lot more people in the audience in this one than normal. Wow. Look at that. Big takedown for Usman. This is big. This is big. If Usman can get a couple of takedowns like this, that's big. And here he is inside control. Wow. Big striking advantage for Usman. Look at that. 144 total strikes versus 89. Here we go. Look at that. Get up. Nope. Control the big elbow by Usman. This is the first fight where Usman is working with Trevor Whitman to he's down in Denver with Justin Gagee and and that's where Rose Nama Eunice is training to. Shout out to Pat Barry. Oh, look at that. They all training Denver. Yeah. It's their an advantage. Big round for Usman. Is there a big advantage with that altitude? That's a good question because some people say yes and some people say no. Some people say you're better off training at sea level because at sea level you could put in more work because there's more air and really what the altitude is for is for recovery. So you should sleep at altitude but train at sea level. That's what a lot of people think. That's what like the current cutting-edge science seems to indicate. So they think that maybe the best thing to do is to train at sea level and then sleep in an oxygen tent. My best sleeping ever was when I lived in Stonemash Village. Yeah. That's when that waking up in the middle of the night shit ended in my life. I would leave the window open two inches. I get that cool air. And my two in the morning. Have you stayed in a hotel since the lockdown? No. We stayed when we were in Houston. We you know, there was nobody there. Nobody there. Jelly. You can't find sleep like this in Los Angeles. There will be a helicopter at some point within six hours. I mean I didn't realize until I woke up. I didn't hear a peep for eight ten hours something crazy. Championship round. There's nobody in the hotel. So it's it's oh. You're on the 12th floor of an empty hotel grabs that leg dude undeniable undeniable wrestling and strength. Look at this MOSFETT. Fought it off. Oh. Oh. It's so different with no crowd man. You hear these shots when you're there live you hear them breathing. It's crazy. It's wild because I'll go find when it's packed arenas even when it's packed arenas you can hear so much. So I can't even imagine what it's like. It's amazing when it's empty. I gotta be honest. I kind of like it better. There's something about the undeniable energy of a big crowd. That's pretty amazing too. It's not like it's bad. But there's something extra special about being able to watch these fights with no audience when you're there live because first of all you feel so fortunate like man. I can't believe I'm here watching Tyron Woodley and Gilbert Burns live, you know, no audience. There's not that many people got to see that fight live. See Mazar. He's just fighting off these takedowns all the time now. Man Jorge is just having a hard time with his wrestling and here we are in the fourth. It's just got him covered. I wonder what if anything would have been different if he did have a full training camp for this. Because Usman just looks sensational. Saying something. It's 9 30 in the morning there right now. In Yaz Island? Yeah. Oh my god. Is it really? That's kind of crazy. So when was the first fight? I can't imagine them ever getting going trying for that schedule though to them. It's got to still be. So the first fight was like what six hours ago. So they started fighting at 3 30 in the morning. They did that once and we had to do that one. Jorge caught him with a big shot. The one we were at in Sweden was a lead. Usman letting him stand. Yeah. He's trying to lure him into something. So he does he does these rushes. Oh shit. Oh don't give him that. Fought off that takedown. Nice. Big punch by Usman. Oh. Damn. Straight press. These fights are so like these kind of fights are so interesting to me because it's like you see a guy who's as strong as Usman. It's such a good wrestler and figures out how to get a guy up against the cage and I know for a lot of people this shit's boring. Because it's not a lot happens but it's so hard for him to avoid like as a fighting tag nice elbow as a fighting tactic. It just cuts out all the striking cuts out all the danger and then Usman completely controls what's happening. Wow. I was really interested in seeing Gilbert Burns versus Kamaro too because they train together. They know each other shit. Wow. This round is going to be tremendous guys. I bet this is going to be tremendous. What do you tell Masvidal right now if you're in his corner? You got to win by knockout. You got to knock him out. You got to find a way to knock him out. Do not let him touch you. Do not let him grab ahold of you and if he grabs ahold you you got to fight for your life. You only have five minutes. Just give everything you got for that five minutes. But do not let him grab you. Do not let him press you up against cage. Don't resign yourself to that position either. There we go. All right. Round five. It's just that clench is so hard for Usman to be denied. You know, he's just so good at getting it. And then what do you do? You can't get him off you. He's had Masvidal on the cage like like Khabib keeps people on the ground. Yeah, but there's a big difference between those two things, right? It's not as good. It's not as good as getting a guy to the ground. Getting a guy to the ground like what Khabib does is the most dominant. Yeah. But it's still it's like that was Randy Couture's move and get guys up against the cage and beat them up against the cage. They couldn't do shit. Wear you out. There it is. Usman's on top here. Relentless pressure. Man, this is just no there's no substitute for that elite wrestler grappling ability. Those elite wrestlers when you get to that national champion world champion level of grappling those guys like like Daniel Cormier, Kamaru, like so many of these like top flight wrestlers. They got a hold of motherfuckers and it's like that's just such a big advantage. This is not good for miles at all. Three minutes to go stuck underneath here. Is he doing his knee on his neck right now? Yeah, he's just got his knee. Yeah, Kamaru does. It looks like look at that. Yeah, it does. It looks like he's that's his left knee. That's interesting, right? The fucking police move. See how he's using his toes. He's not allowed to use your toes in the cage. It's so crazy. I was gonna get out of there man. He's got to figure out a way to get out of there. If he's underneath this for the remainder of the fight, he is not going to win this fucking fight. No chance. But if you can get up and get out of here anything can happen. 155. Oh sliding in the Mount. Here's the role. Come on stand up. Get a foot under. It's going to be a lot of energy to try to get up from here. Man, it was once keeping that weight on him. Got that front headlock. And the way he man handles people man, he manhandled Tyron Woodley. Which is fucking crazy. What is he doing here? It looks as he going for an anaconda choke. It's hard to tell here. He might be going for an anaconda choke. I don't think so. Look at his right arm. You can see it. With one knee down, he can only Usman can only knee him in the body, right? Yes, or the legs. Oh, he's up. He's up. Come on 40 seconds. He's in what can you do? He's so tired man. I mean he might not even physically be able to get him away from him at this point. That's why this is so interesting. I know people don't like these positions, but goddamn, it's crazy. Here we go. 30 seconds left. They're both on their feet. Oh. 10 seconds. Well, the winter and still. Yeah, for sure. Right? Absolutely.
