the jurogan experience it's just amazing you know on paper i was telling i was starting them out there like on paper on paper you put down my stats no one's gonna pick me in a fight what the [ __ ] is this guy [ __ ] next you know what i mean but then but then there's one thing there's that there's that mental part and and that hard part that you can't measure you can't measure the mint or whatever no and that's that crazy land part you know what i mean like people don't know what the [ __ ] crazy land is so if they see this guy like okay well he got a passport to crazy land but this is his stats all [ __ ] you know out of 10 like threes and this is the guy he's like nine nine all nines but he or maybe a couple of tens in there but he don't have a password to crazy and they'll be like [ __ ] crazy land this guy is great and then when you go in there you like you find out that [ __ ] most of the time the guys with the passport the crazy lads is uh they're crazy you know they figure out a way to win they figure it out yeah like you the sum of all your parts is not that like it that doesn't equal a championship fighter like the mind is such an important part important and and i was uh i was talking to them outside back to that conversation i was telling them like whenever i talk to an opera comer or or my friends or i see people training and they're training hard or doing this and that and i'm just like oh this is crazy like like most of us in the ufc already right i was like guys there comes a point where like you're pretty much good like everything can get you by you got here already but now the only thing different that's going to get you to the top 15 is mental and then from 15 to 10 the only difference between those guys is mental and then from from 10 to 5 same thing and from champion and everybody else it's a mental it's a mentality thing is this something that to do with iq and something that's

the only thing it changed like we're all good we're all at the mecca of fighting the ufc is where everybody wants to be but what makes you a champ what makes me a champion you not something i'd be it like you can live more ways than me though you know what i mean like we're the same if we're the same weight class you're stronger than me you're faster than me what is the difference what is the difference it i i believe it's it's that passport crazy land is that mental is that is that thing like i'm willing to do something that i don't know if you even thought of doing it or if it's presented with you that if you're gonna take that chance you know and it's it's that but it's also you're willing to put the intensity into your training camps and the focus and dedication into your craft that maybe some people aren't and maybe sometimes people that are really talented things come a little too easy for them and they don't want to work as hard exactly that's the that's the downfall with a lot of these guys you know a lot of these guys is like they're just like all-stars in their town and playing regular sports you know i mean you see it all the time there's all-stars in towns whatever then they go to the other stuff and then they're just another guy yeah there's somebody that's faster stronger and better than you you know i mean and then when they get there instead of pushing through they they never had to and then there's that kid that was like just always just kind of made the team and then he's there with you and he sees that and he see you break and that pushes him and now he's about he's with those guys that's just who's those guys who's freak athletes but they all have the mind but this guy don't have the freak at least but he get the mind and he's hanging with him because he's figuring out a [ __ ] way to do it you know yeah some of the toughest guys are younger brothers of tough guys oh yes oh yeah because you had to take the [ __ ] yeah you gotta take the [ __ ] you know i mean like it is like

they become durable yeah it was it was kind of backwards uh growing up with my brother like i'm the middle child but my brother's four years older than me my older brother my my younger brother is uh one year younger than me but so it's kind of backwards like it wasn't like my older brother wasn't really tough on us but it was a point where my younger brother was like such a spoiled little prick that he would always get me into trouble from uh from my grandma like he would do my grandma and grandpa so like he would do something and he'd cry and be like no i did it so i would get the lickins you know so i think so that's when my mentality came by like i always i was like [ __ ] young so like even like even when i fight with my younger brother he would beat me because he's like i was smaller than him like he beat me up growing up and the funny thing is is like i told you last time is that every time uh when my mom when i started getting the kickboxing and my mom was telling people like hey let's go um my son's gonna go watch fight uh he's gonna go fight this week he wanna buy tickets they'll be like oh cool who is clinton fighting and then they'd be like oh no clem's not fighting max's and they're like what the [ __ ] like max don't fight like you know i'm here like what the heck why is he fighting where is he fighting you know but it comes because i just freaking i got [ __ ] so abused and stuff i never thought of that you just pointed out to me like my grandma and grandpa would give me like this guy could get he would get away with murder and i always got it and then whenever he do something stupid like outside we play with our friends it's like there's a place on our street where we couldn't pass and my grandpa would like just be sitting on the gazebo and catch my my brother coming back and being like because he would go in the [ __ ] main road it's so stupid there's a dirt road i was like bro take the dirt road like grandpa's always up there drinking his beer

take this damn dirt road so we don't want to get into trouble he's like nah nah nah god i'm not gonna be there but i know all after all these years i put together my [ __ ] winter world because he wanted to see me get lickins so after the time he's like max made me to go with them i didn't want to go and i'd end up getting lickins they'd wrap me up i was like bro i didn't you told me gold what are you talking about like the table's his turn you're a little [ __ ] bro what is he like now he just uh he's crazy you know he's uh uh he um we we had to deal with some stuff like uh i you know my family and stuff would come from drugs and whatever my mom and stuff and except for my grandma grandpa it's great for them but he got into his trouble and stuff but he's recently like he's been out he's been clean he's been doing his thing so i i'm proud of him i'm happy so it's like it's not i always tell him too you know it's not how you start the race is how you finish bro it's like finish strong bro you got kids you got focus now i know i know you you think you [ __ ] up but you never let nobody down yet you know you got you got time and just make everything right again or try to go get as close as you can to making everything ready that's great advice that you still have time catch new episodes of the joe rogan experience for free only on spotify watch back catalog jre videos on spotify including clips easily seamlessly switch between video and audio experience on spotify you can listen to the jre in the background by using other apps and can download episodes to save on data cost all for free spotify is absolutely free you don't have to have a premium account to watch new jre episodes you just need to search for the jre on your spotify app go to spotify now to get this full episode of the joe rogan experience
