Rogan’s podcast is probably the best free advertisement for MMA and the UFC ever!

[@gold9994]

He loved the UFC, and UFC loved him back.

[@chuck7952]

Nowhere else will you hear Ronda Rousey's stand up was good enough to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr.

[@creoleking206]

I remember watching the UFC in the early 2000's and I was like oh shh the Fear Factor guy is cool asf and knows his shh how did he get here haa

[@spacewalker806]

not anymore

[@josiericaro3347]

Hahaha exactly

[@RR-kh9fv]

@@spacewalker806lmao he’s still an expert, only thing that’s changed is that you clowns are louder with your horseshit in the comments

[@simplysimple7628]

I agree. Joe Rogan is an absolute legend. His knowledge is amazing. His commentating skills are incredible. When he speaks and says stuff like “all he needs to do from this position is swing leg around grab his left arm” blah blah blah, and it HAPPENS?! Now that’s some next level knowledge. He predicts moves before they happen. It’s as interesting if not more interesting than some of the fights.

[@Lee-wv8vn]

Love Bisping and Rogan for the way they explain martial arts to us fans. They are both quality

[@kNotDeadshot]

i know they love and respect each other but its always nice seeing them talk about one another in good graces. most companies don’t have that type of relationship between the top 2

[@Lord_Baphomet_]

Say what you want about Dana he is loyal to his friends.

[@waavyfm]

Sometimes, that’s all that really matters. Money comes and goes, status disappears then reappears… loyalty is either IN you or it’s not.

[@geraldwillis6795]

Right

[@vinceandrich4603]

He’s had some high flying friends also. He went to high school with Lorenzo Fertitta who was a former member of Nevada state athletic commission (when Tyson bit Holyfields ear) and got him and his brother Frank Fertitta III to buy UFC. They had the cash, business acumen, political connections and insight to get the UFC the abilty to hold fights in every state eventually. But, with all that, Dana was the perfect face and voice for the UFC (brash, unapologetic and street smart. Truly the best fight promoter of all time.

[@shaheena.3803]

There are a lot of fighters that are hella washed and Dana keeps in the ufc cause he likes them. Either that or he wants the new up and coming fighters to be able to easily beat up a legend 😂

Thanks for keeping us updated! I feel sympathy and empathy for our country. low income people are suffering to survive, and I appreciate Deborah Lee Clark. You've helped my family with your advice. imagine investing $30,000 and receiving $95,460 after 28 days of trading.

[@hamamaiga2762]

I began investing in stocks and Def earlier this year, and it is the best choice I've ever made. My portfolio is rounding up to almost a million and I have realized that when a stock makes it to the news, chances are you're quite late to the party, the idea is to get in early on blue chips before it becomes public. There are lots of life changing opportunities in the market, and maximize it.

[@mahmaebahmed2599]

What opportunities are there in the market, and how do I profit from it?

[@aderaduio4958]

You can make a lot of money from the market regardless of whether it strengthens or crashes. The key is to be well positioned.

[@Elainehutchinson692]

I would really like to know how this actually works.

[@aderaduio4958]

All you need is a good capital and the service of a professional broker, with those your investment will most certainly produce high yields.

[@seanim6846]

Loyalty. Rare.

[@slamandjam2]

The difference between Conor and other sports legends staying hungry is, the beating you take in UFC is just so much more brutal than any other sport. Football is brutal too of course, but not constantly risking getting ur head kicked off like UFC

[@quinnholidy]

Na boxing has it beat for damage you get knocked out once in ufc it’s done, boxing it can happen multiple times per fight

[@philgiordano7715]

2nd time listening to this clip. Just picked up on Dana’s mention of Brady not being a guy who tries to break the bank. Chael says a lot of times people can’t come out and say the real reasons for things, but I think that’s what Dana did there.

[@DidierPeroni]

For someone that listened to Joe on and off for years, with no context of UFC and MMA (given where I live)- it was an absolute shock for me that this guy had been commentating on UFC fights for years. Joe is different

[@NOL1FEK1NG]

Love this interview.

[@AlexanderMoen]

My uninformed take on it is that McGregor was not intrinsically motivated. He was talking about his fighting goals when he was poor and it was that he wanted to make $x millions and be a two division champ and one or two other things like that. He blew those goals out of the water. So, what next then? He wasn't aiming to be the best MMA guy of all time or anything like that. It's very difficult to become a champion, but it's even more difficult to maintain that status for long periods of time unless you are intrinsically motivated. And, it's probably even more difficult to be that way when your job is to get punched in the face.

[@KingGeorgieIII]

[@ryanmussell739]

4:20 For non NFL fans. Tom Brady was never the highest paid player. The patriots found a way to pay Tom under the table through his wife modeling career. That left the team more money to send on other players to make the team better.

[@Paul-vf2wl]

Yes anyone who believes that Tom actually took less money is kidding themselves. Cheating is the Patriot way.

Shay got his info way wrong. He said Connor hasn’t fought since January 2020. That was 3 fights ago so he’s fight twice since then, and his lost fight was july 2021. And he literally snapped his leg in half do with that in mind, 3 years off with that type of leg break isn’t that out of the ordinary.
