You must love yourself first before you are able to love others (her). Your wife is a teacher holding up a mirror for you. She technically has nothing to do with this - she can't win in this scenario since it's always been you. Eat healthy, work out, watch some stand up, smoke some weed, exhaust yourself physically then throw out a prayer and welcome the change. You got this!

@@romanteni there is zero possibility that you have any idea what my "type" is 😆. You've somehow demonized me for being happy for someone who is loving life to the highest degree so much that they hate falling asleep. I'm very accomplished and have earned every bit of that. I don't hate my life and was only inspired to have that level of excitement about my own one day. You don't know my "type" I assure you.

watching this brought back lots of memories....VHS UFC 1, 2, 3 (Tank Abbott made most of us think twice about trying out the Octagon..hahaha). Then a decade of low pts, organically, the fighters got better and better, w/ skillsets on whole new levels across various forms/arts...then the superhero looking/muscular combatants, rest is history....probably turning pt came around 2008-2012 during GFC.....

Love the spirit of this interview, bare knuckled impression of one's experiences and inner truths. Thank you Dana and Lex for an outstanding no BS expression from one's heart!

Fatigue in fighting is like being in the middle of the ocean with weights tied to you , not knowing How to swim, with a shark circling you. 😂

@UC8hUaqzC_qCUmxHDgcF-niw movies like vision quest move so many people broadly speaking because regardless if one trains , life itself is a fight… “fighting is the best thing a man can have in his soul…” R.G. Thank you for this amazing interview. I was already a Dana fan after seeing a clip of him defending free speech for his fighters from the legacy media. After this interview my respect for him only grew after learning about his loyalty and how he was willing to throw it all away for Rogan his friend. Powerful stuff. Thank you Lex. 🙏

I liked when Dana said: winning means also losing. It's part of the game in sports or business. I agree that real successful people understand this concept. There will always be ups and downs in anything you go for. Also, thank you for recommending Vision Quest! 😊

This was so good the worst part about it is that it wasn't longer.

@TonyFuccani02 Месяц назад

Evolution of fighting in martial arts has accelerated, but what Dane is mostly referring to is the library information, that the UFC is. The fighting techniques have been around for hundreds of years, if not, thousands in some cases.

@onetwo8847 Месяц назад

Loved the transition into Dana saying he's "not a fan of people fighting at our age" about Mike Tyson in his 50s, about 6 seconds after talking about how he tried to make a fight involving Elon Musk in his 50s...

@treali Месяц назад

Well Zuck and Musk would probably not go for punching and mostly do jujutsu and grappling. The problem when fighting at that age is punches to the head.

@onetwo8847 Месяц назад

@@treali "probably" is not a good arguement lol. You have a situation where you have a guy who is in shape, not even 40 and has actually spent some time training MMA and competing in athletic events, Against a guy in his 50s, completely untrained and who looks like he couldn't do 5 pushups. Both fights are freak shows and that's why it's hypocritical to act like one is safe and the other isn't. For every argument you could make about how it's more dangerous for Mike as Jake is trained, you could just as easily make the reverse argument that at least Mike is in shape and has endless experience along with an elite understanding of boxing defense, whilst Zuck could potentially just throw a big overhand with Elon not having a clue how to defend himself. Some of the worst knockouts come when 2 novices fight but one has at least a slight understanding of what he's doing whilst the other has no clue how to protect himself TLDR - not even saying zuck/Elon is worse, but dana acting like one is bad whilst pushing the other, is silly

I watched the Stephen and Forest fight with my friends elderly grandmother… this little old country granny had never watch one single UFC fight and I’m sitting right beside her and we were both screaming at the tv!!!! Granny was the best!! I still feel so blessed for that moment with her and kinda shameful that it was an absolute bloodbath in her beautiful little living room!!😅😅😅

@RamseyDewey Месяц назад

As a retired fighter turned fight commentator, every time I called a fight, I made it a point to do my best to make every fighter and every fight sound like the coolest, most important thing ever to happen... specifically because I experienced the polar opposite, and it absolutely sucked.
