"And why does he keep insisting on kissing me and telling me he loves me?"
“What have I done?!?”
It was both inappropriate and funny.
@Classical Mechanic telling you mate, it’s going to happen Floyd vs Punk 
Floyd senior mentioning a stop off by CM Punk first. Could you just imagine, UFC gone full circuis.

Jesus Rogan and Schaub are intolerable together.

So glad we are seeing less of Rogan on the UFC cards these days. He seems to have crumbled from being a proper MMA pundit to merely a fan.
There's a post on Reddit that describes Schaub perfectly.
He doesn't post his shows until Tuesday where he brazenly rips off Luke Thomas / Ariel and steals their material for himself. He never previews fights other than the main events or it would show how shallow his knowledge is, and it being simply harder to parrot so many other opinions without stumbling over himself.
He then appears on Rogan and repeats back to him his own statements as if Brendan sees it the same way.
"Oh man, he stood there in the corner and you could see him thinking what the feck is this?" (paraphrase)
Literally word for word from Rogans commentary that night.
It gives the illusion that Rogan and Brendan are on similar levels of understanding and it's plainly ridiculous but it gets Joe to naturally agree and the illusion is set
Fake it till you make it.

Schaub makes a pretty good fist of being intolerable on his own too.
Weirdly I never really take that much notice of the commentary when I’m watching. I’ve certainly heard him say some absolute tosh on there and when he makes a mistake he fully commits to that mistake.
I don’t know if anyone really watches the JRE but I quite enjoy the fight companions when they are just sitting there talking crap like actual fans. If it was an option for commentary i’d Probably take that but then DC is kinda funny.”THUG ROSE, THUG ROSE,THUG ROSE...!!!!’ Is up there with take a bow son for me.
He's generally full of shit on most topics he talks about on his podcast - ranging from his UFC punditry to his views on meat v vegan diets.
So many people moan about Rogan yet still listen to his podcast. I genuinely don't understand why people put themselves through it.
I'm not a fan of Schaub so don't listen to his stuff. Bryan Callen has his moments, he's a funny dude.

Its because he occasionally has great guests. Rhonda Patrick for example. She actually knows her stuff...unlike doofus behind the mike.
She's had her own podcast for years. You don't need to subject yourself to Rogan just to get to her!
I actually like him being a self admitted moron and having smart people on, he often gets them to dumb it down and explain things so an idiot like him (and me!) Can understand.
My problem with him is that it's the same revolving door of boring hunters/distance runners talking about Keto diets and why pot is illegal.
Yeah but I actually found out about her on Rogan's youtube, so obviously I had to go through all her old appearances there and in the process had to endure more Rogan than i care for.
And Joey Diaz.
Rhonda Patrick is a bit of a bluffer though. Her science is biochemistry and basic research. She has no authority in health and nutrition and pushes hot new research that is unverified and simply hasn't enough data behind it nor the scientific knowledge needed to really break it down.
She seems like a smart lady but she isn't worth going out of your way to listen to.
That's the problem with Rogan He has a lot of pseudo scientists on that he agrees with and leaves it up to the listener to properly research what's being discussed.
It's ass backwards.

She definitely knows her stuff and backs it up by citing research, at least on her web site. She's far better than many of the YouTube quacks like Dr. Berg and the like.
I thought so too but she does get criticised for citing low level research for a reason.
She's worth a listen to if it's convenient imo but I wouldn't recommend her over actual experts in the field to anyone I know. She's good for letting you know what happened with a Petri dish that one time but she shouldn't base so many arguments around such low level results.
The same goes for Joey Diaz. I listened to his podcast for a while after I found him through Joe and when he starts to repeat certain stories over and over again and doesn't realise he's doing it then it ruins the illusion lol. When he tells the same story but with different names and settings then you start to doubt the authenticity of the great man!
Yeah true, I don't know how he has made a good career for himself, fair fecks to him though for doing so.
Surely the quality of his podcast is dictated by the guest to though? I can't really stand him to be honest he's an arrogant arsehole who shoots down peoples opinions to force his own on everyone. I've not listened to a full podcast in ages, I occasionally listen to clips on YouTube if it's an interest guest with a decent story to tell. I'm not arsed about Joe Rogan trying to seem intelligent and make himself feel the smartest guy in the room.
That video sums it up for me, just repeats himself on stuff he's researched to sound super intelligent.
I heard good reviews of the Matt Brown one and was driving for ages the other week so thought I'd listen as it could pass a few hours, I think I got about 15mins in before I had to turn it off. Some people seem to think UFC won't be same without him, I agree but I think the commentary will be better.
It's all opinion. I prefer it when it's his mates (Segura, Kreicher & Shaffir talking shit to each other was great). There's people who love it when he has "inellectuals" or archery dudes on, it bores me to tears so i don't listen.
There's 100's of other MMA podcasts and 1,000,000s of other podcasts out there without having to subject yourself to someone you can't stand. I notice the same people moaning about Rogan and his podcast time after time and yet they still listen as if there's no other options.
You're kinda stuck with his commentary with UFC but not so much anymore.
Yeah it's definitely opinion. I think his podcast with Shannon Briggs was one of the best sporting interviews I've listened to in fairness to him. I used to think he was alright up until a few years ago when he got really tedious and intolerable for me.
I agree there's loads of podcasts but that's part of the problem at times. There's to many to filter through and fine (laziness on my behalf I'll admit) so I'd rather just pay attention to the other ones that are easily accessible. I don't even listen to that many MMA podcasts anyway personally. I don't listen to the full MMA hour as I also find Helwani pretty dull and I've said my piece on Rogan and they're probably the 2 most popular ones.
I think people are aware there's other options but the reality is 9 times out of 10 the likes of Rogan and Helwani will get the best guests on so if you want them guest stories that badly you have to put up with the presenter.
Yeah I've got used to him on UFC commentary, I don't like him and rather he wasn't there but I can cope with listening to him. If anything it makes me laugh how wrong he is with loads of his stuff.
Anyone watching Bellator?
this had me in stitches

Good heather hardy looked shit.
Prelims in Austin, Texas, starting now.
That opening round of the opening fight was fecking brilliant.
yep, good fight.
Burkman, who got finished in like a minute in the early prelims, is 1-8 on his last 9 fights. How the feck is he not cut?
He should retire (again) already for his own safety.
come on Joby!

Well that was impressive.
Nice and quick.
fecking Joby deserves to be cut again.
Nice, they're dropping quickly tonight, might stay up.
Piechota seems a nice lad.
Good fighter. Reminds me a bit of Polish Wonderboy.
Oh feck off. Two kicks in the nuts in the same round and no point deduction
yeah man they need to enforce the rules better. The other day Jake Mathews almost got blinded without consequence...
anyway, good victory for Ferreira on his return.
Thought he was a bit unlucky with the kicks. Gordon could not handle his stand up at all though.
Moreno looked quality but surely Burkman is done.
