the joe rogan experience train by day joe rogan podcast by night all day Did you watch it? Did you watch the UFC? No. Oh, my God. Islam Makachuk. Fuck. Dude goes up one weight class, goes up to 170. He was the 55-pound most dominant champion ever, most title defense of the 55 ever, just dominates at 170. Like, every round. People are saying it's boring, but listen, man. It's boring if you're a casual. The fact that he was able to do it every round, it was a little frustrating because you wanted Jack to try to adjust, but he couldn't, man. Islam shut his game down right away. He low kicked the shit out of his front leg real quick, had him limping real quick. Within the first round, he had hit it three or four times bad.
I mean, I imagine being Khabib, you know, just your protege is coming in. Khabib's even better than him.
How does Islam Makhachev dominate in the UFC?
Right. That's what's so crazy. That's how good those guys are. Khabib's not better stand-up, though. Islam has really good stand-up. Khabib's stand-up was a means to an end. His stand-up was to crack you so he could get a hold of you and fuck you up, just drag you to the ground and smash you. That was Khabib's move. But Islam is fucking KOing people, man. It's different. He's different. He's head-kicking Volkanovski. It's like a different level of stand-up. Yeah, Khabib's saying, you're going to be better than me.
True.
Crazy, crazy.
Them Dagestani boys are here to stay.
You know what's crazy, dude? Bilal Muhammad, who was the champ at welterweight, went down to Dagestan to train with those guys. And he was like, I thought I trained hard. I really did. I thought I trained hard until I trained with those guys.
That's all. I'm going to follow that advice. If I ever have a son, I'm just dropping him. As soon as he's hit puberty, I'm dropping him off in Dagestan. They leave him here, forget. That's the thing they always say. Take him to Dagestan, two, three years, forget. Yeah, for real. For real.
Then he comes back telling you what to do. How are you going to fuck with that? Because that's real. That's how those dudes are really rolling out there. That's how they're really living. They pray five times a day. They're super religious. There's no gambling. There's no drinking. There's no partying. This is just training. Just training. Just training and training with a bunch of fucking animals. Eating together, training together, just getting after it every day. And then it's iron sharpens iron because everyone who comes out of there is a fucking killer. Yeah. Crazy.
Yeah, you got to be real.
Most people don't want to live that life.
Yeah, and they don't forgive the disrespect. No.
They just fucked Dylan Dennis up this past weekend.
Yeah.
Did you see that?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, there was a fight in the crowd. Yeah. Yeah. They don't forget. You got to watch what you say. Bro, and they're, you know. The Dagestanis, they not talking shit for promotional purposes. No. No, no, no, no. You got to be real careful. That's down in the marrow of the bones. Do you think that there would ever be, like, do you think Conor could ever apologize to Khabib and, like, bury the hatchet? He would have to.
It would have to be in private. And you'd have to really mean it, man. You'd have to really mean it, and you'd have to convince Khabib that you really meant it. Because he just doesn't play that game, that talking shit to sell a fight game. He doesn't play that game. No, especially when it comes to his wife, his people. Oh, everything, man, everything.
I saw a clip of DC saying he had Connor on his show one time, and Khabib was like, no, what's that about? Yeah, like that's my enemy.
What training methods do Dagestani fighters use?
And you're my friend. And DC was like, oh yeah, I didn't look at it that way, but I had to check myself.
Yeah, because if you're a journalist or if you're doing a podcast, you're going to have some people on that don't like people that are close to you. But that can only go to a certain level. If someone is your sworn enemy and this other guy is your training partner and your brother, you can't really have that guy on.
Oh, yeah, of course not. Absolutely not.
