[MUSIC] >> The Joe Rogan, experience. >> Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. [MUSIC] >> All right, what's happening, brother? >> Thanks for having me. >> My pleasure. So Jamie, what were you just saying? I stopped you because it sounds so crazy. >> Trump said there's going to be eight to nine title fights at the White House UFC event. And that there are, I guess, in quotes withholding. >> Okay, first of all- >> There's only eight weight classes. So how's there going to be nine title fights? >> It'd be a BBMF fight, maybe you had to be a meth. Maybe you have all of them- >> I guess. >> I guess, but that's kind of a crazy thing. >> We're going to have 20 title fights. All the title fights has ever been. >> Did he say any match ups? >> No, he didn't say who he just said they're gonna, I'll see if there's even a tweet about it. But I just thought talking about it was like a, I don't know, a press conference or something. Well, if they don't do John Jones at the White House, I think it'll be a travesty. >> For sure, they have to- >> They need to do that, they have to. >> Come on, Dana's like, you can't count on him, you can't fucking count on him, come on, stop. >> When he wants to, he's gonna, he doesn't make a half that for sure. >> Yeah, at the White House, come on, John Jones versus, let's see, what does this say here? Donald Trump predicts eight or nine championship fights. >> Okay, it would literally have to be every weight class fighting for the title, which would be nuts. Everyone's a championship fight, everyone's a legendary type of fighter. >> Yeah, he's actually holding back fights right now for six months, so he can do it in the 15th of June. Trump continued seemingly meaning 14th of June. >> Yeah, Oren is gonna be 5,000 or 6,000 seats right in the front door of the White House. 100,000 people in the back, whether putting up eight or 10 very big screens, what kind of fucking security are they gonna have for this? >> It's gotta be insane. >> Yeah. >> Are you trying to get on this? >> I mean, not really. >> Not really? >> I can't imagine, like you said, the security behind the scenes, how much stuff's really gonna happen? I'm just like, a lot of weird pressure, too, because it's like all the security and the protocols, all that extra shit in your mind before you have to go out there and fight. >> Yeah, it just seems like a lot, like a lot more than what it needs to be. I'm sure it's gonna be cool to watch, you know, kind of like what was that? >> This figure? >> Yeah, kind of cool to watch like that, but. >> Also, you're fighting outside. >> Yes, that's what that, like what are they gonna do, put a roof over it? Like what happens if it, or if it's hot? >> What if it's hot and muggy?
