Matt Serra, Dana White and Joe Rogan will eventually morph into the same person.

I met Matt at Disney world on a family vacation, he was the coolest guy ever! All I did was say “hey I loved watching your fights” and started to walk away. He called me back and asked if my family and I wanted a picture. Very cool guy.

I love how Matt absolutely does everything he can to not make any excuses for not winning a fight.

Matt went 8 wins, 7 losses in UFC competition, and when you look at who he fought, that's damn impressive. He fought THE MURDERER'S ROW of the UFC: George St. Pierre TWICE, Matt Hughes, Karo Parisyan, BJ Penn, Chris Lytle, etc. It's amazing he's mentally and physically together at age 49 after confronting THAT level of physical abuse in his career.

You can just tell that Matt is a really good dude and is doing everything possible to give Georges his due credit.

Class act. No excuses and I wouldn’t blame him if he made one.

Matt Serra (unlike a lot of former UFC brawlers) actually doesn't sound CTE damaged. He sounds mentally sharp and well spoken still. Nice to see someone get out of the game with his marbles intact.

The combined power of the light reflecting from all the heads in the studio is maintaining Austin's entire electrical grid

Man I've always had a soft spot for Serra. Seems like a standup dude and deserves to be a champion. Much respect!

I watched both fights with GSP live (pay per view, that is) and still remember the shock of Matt's first victory. But that 2nd fight in Montreal? Man, that was crazy. The energy in that place was off the hook. GSP came in to some French rapper music which was lit. He was so focused and on point in that fight. Beautiful performance.

GSP is one of the few people that remains larger than life to me even into adulthood. Was a pleasure watching him, as well as Mr. Serra.

Matt sera sounds like Eddie bravo from New York 😂😂

Matt Serra and Joe Rogan could do the Spider-Man pointing meme😂

Seriously, watch this episode. Matt Sera is a born comedian and made it one of the most enjoyable episodes I have ever seen. 😎

The one hit wonder phenomena. Thanks to Matt, GSP never lost again after this lesson.

Matt Serra's title run is seriously the stuff of movies.

Matt Serra could really fight, and he was hilarious with Din Thomas on their UFC travel show!

I miss watching Matt fight. I always liked watching him perform. Cool to see his humility in his old reminiscent age. Atta boy Mr Serra 💪🏻

Serra is hilarious. Genuine good guy. Rogan likes to do this thing where he builds up the guy in front of him by tearing everyone that isn't there down. Serra doesn't make any excuses at all for the 2nd fight. I was at the 2nd fight, it's was in Montreal. Those chants of fuck you Serra were loud. It was by far the loudest building I've ever been in.

Serra is a legend of this game and a treasure. This was great.

Serra is ludicrously underrated. Assassinated arguable GOAT GSP in their first fight, good, close fight with then welterweight GOAT Hughes, good fight with prime Penn, ADCC World Silver Medalist.

Crazy to think how long ago this was man time Flys we getting old boys

Can’t help but have so much love for Matt ❤️❤️❤️

MAN! Serra's energy and excitement is INCREDIBLE! Love seeing that!

I love Matt Serra. He's such a good guy, and he's no-nonsense. I wish he had fought more, but I know that he hated cutting weight. Glad he has a post UFC career, and would love to see more of him.

The legacy of GSP started with the revenge on the Matt’s.

What a fantastic podcast. This was today, Joe! Big mad props to the goat that you are my man. Thank you for everything and I’ll be back tomorr

He feels that making excuses would take away from his opponent's glory. Warrior poet.

Love Matt Serra!!!! I am so glad that I was there from the very beginning. When all that mattered was improving (for yourself) , winning , and not about the money. Unfortunately it is more about the likes, attention and money in this distorted era. Thank you both for everything that you have done for the sport!! It will never be like it was back in the day..

I like how he gives it to George for the second fight. He was so sharp, fit or not it wouldn't have made a difference.

I remember Matt Serra saying after he beat GSP that he had already beat one future HOFer (Matt Hughes if I remember right) and he thought GSP was gonna be a HOFer too and he was proud of that. Even in the biggest moment of his life he was honest with himself and what happened while giving his opponent respect. I think he knew he got "lucky" (it's not really luck, but you know what I mean) and was probably gonna lose the rematch. Awesome guy with a great nickname, seems like a humble and genuine person, nothing but respect for this monster, or Terra if you will. Edit: He didn't beat Hughes, not sure what I'm thinking. Maybe he said he fought two HoFers?

Nobody saw that coming

he is naturally so funny and a talented fighter. havent heard much of him talking but this episode was hilarious. been a fan of his fighting forever

It’s wild Matt Serra, Chris Weidman & Aljamain Sterling all 3 won the title as huge underdogs.

I’ve always love listening to Matt serra, dudes high energy is infectious. Seems like a great dude

Matt serra was always my favorite fighter and jiu-jitsu master. Loved watching him!

That was the BEST underdog championship win of all time! Matt Serra! 💯

If an excited Pitbull was a person.

I have so much respect for Matt Serra. One of my fav fighters all time. When Hughes vs Serra ultimate fighter aired you got to see Serra’s personality as well as his skill. To this day I have never seen a fighter who was a ground wizard develop impressive stand up like Matt. 👍

Its nice to see the older Serra so humble...

This was such a great episode, Matt is hilarious.

Serra has one of the best Bar conversations ever for when he won that Belt.

As a guy who trained in karate and jiujitsu on Long Island growing up, Matt Serra is the guy who helped everyone else truly realize we got some of the best fighters in the world coming outa ny

He's very funny in his story telling 😂😂

The old Serra episode was the JRE episode that got me addicted

Joe Rogan and Roe Jogan

I was in the crowd in Montreal joining in on those FU Serra chants….but…I fucking love Matt Serra!!! 😂

GSP fan here - matt serra is a genuine charasmatic guy & a pure class act. in my eyes - he will always be a champion ! & he is wayyyy funnier than brendan shaub & hes not even telling jokes !!

This fight made GSP change the way he fought. Still one of the craziest upsets of that Era

Watched 3 mins of this clip and already know I need to head over to watch the whole thing!!

Matt Serra is the man. I haven’t heard an accent like that since watching a 1970s Mel Brooks movie.

I have so much respect for the Serra family, hard to top them. Also, who would have thought that Joe, Matt, and Dana White would eventually start looking like they are all related? I think by the point the 3 of them are 80yrs old, they will have finally achieved their final state of evolution, and all look identical.

If you’ve had bad back inflammation you know what he meant about not walking and having a tough comeback. I like how he didn’t try to make it an excuse, and before joe cut him off he almost went to say “but when don’t”….we have injuries as fighters”* he probably accepts that the tables were probably opposite during the first fight.

This is straight Long Island, from Suffolk here, can immediately hear it. Sick punches!

Serra is phenomenal. Great fighter. Great coach. Few people can do both.

Matt needs his own show

Lucky enough to meet Matt Serra in uk earlier this yr. what a gent. And still looked like a wrecking machine 😂

Fkn love Matt. He's a beast of a fighter & a great guy & mentor. Kudos Matt!

I wish these were my friends! Thanks for the content, Matt sera seems like a good dude.

Matt's a funny guy, the way he tells the story....

Matt "The Terror" Serra is 1 of my all time favorites. I watched Serra vs Hughes and both Serra vs GSP matches live on ppv. I love Matt Serra. DAMN I love that guy. My mma education started during the age of Matt Serra, Chuck, Randy, Bj Penn, and many others. I watched Randy come out of retirement and clean house. I saw the up and commers who are now retired legends. I feel old lmao. I watched Frank Mir get revenge against Wes Sims. I watched every event from 1 to 120 ish and a handful after that. (I didn't start watching ppv til the UFC 50's) Now...Im so far out of the loop. Almost everyone I used to watch is retired. My goodness I remember watching Anderson vs Chris Leben on ppv and Wanderlei vs Chuck live. I watched Liddell vs. Franklin in a movie theater. Ok I'm done talking...I'm gonna go look in the mirror and see how many gray hairs I have lol. You'll get old toooo! Lol

Even if you dont like Matt Serra, you gotta love his competitive mindset and his heart. Respect.

7:10 For anyone curious, epidural is just a layer of the spinal cord which is surrounded by multiple layers. They call it an epidural because thats the layer/space in which they are injecting whichever medication. So an 'epidural' is just a treatment of X medication/treatment/procedure basically.

Matt Serra is what it would be like if Adderall became sentient

I remember thinking Serra had a chance in the 1st GSP fight and everybody said there was no way he'd win. I would've put a couple hundred bucks on him at something like 8-1 odds. Don't get me wrong, I definitely considered him the underdog, just not as much as everyone I talked to. It bugs me when people say that it is IMPOSSIBLE for one fighter to defeat another, as though it wasn't an actual fight where almost anything can happen. GSP was one of my favorite fighters, too, but so was Serra (I do think GSP is the GOAT, still).

I could listen to Matt talk for days

Remember watching it, well done to matt still after all these years

I remember before the fight, George talks about how he won't underestimate Matt. Then after the loss, he talked about how he underestimated him. 😂

I attempted this same feat while in Vegas but unfortunately the drunk man I tried restraining was actually sober, and restraining me. A lot of bystanders filmed the horrid incident and I’ve since apologized publicly many times but unfortunately it has been to no avail.

how he smiled after saying" I could run and I could box. I think he really has the teacher spirit.

Serras's Longo impression is fucking gold lol.

Matt looks like joe's long lost twin brother.

Nothing Better Than Joe Rogan Bringing Joe Rogan On The Show 😭

This is one of the best jre I've heard in a while

Matt was one of my favorite fighters, I was stoked when he beat GSP. Everyone thought he got lucky striking, hearing now that he was training and planning to strike vs GSP makes a lot of sense.

We sure Matt and Joe aren’t cousins or something? 😂

I respect the fact that Serra didn't want to make excuses about coming into the 2nd GSP fight injured...you could tell he was uncomfortable talking about it

George came into that fight way too confident. The second fight he knew better. Matt definitely a genuine dude

I like Matt and the fact he says George was so on point that night that there was no stopping him 👍🏻💪 GSP did make him look absolutely amateur though in the second fight almost as bad a beating as a guy can take but Matt took it well good luck in life bro you deserve all the credit in the world 💪🇨🇦

I was cageside at this fight shooting photos for a media outlet, and I remember the moment Matt tagged Georges and staggered him. None of us who followed the sport expected Matt to throw hands like that, much less connect like that against the champ. I was stationed on the side of the cage next to Matt’s team and the moment Georges tapped, I clearly remember pulling my camera down and looking at over at Matt’s cornermen who were looking left and right in clear disbelief, locked eyes with me and we all were mouthing “holy $#;+” to each other. It was an amazing moment and likely the greatest underdog winning moment I’ve ever been a part of! Matt is truly a class act, as is Georges, and at that moment I remember being so incredibly happy for him! I have a lot of great memories from shooting UFC events, but the two where I remember being the most happy for the victor are this fight and UFC68, when Randy Couture came back to the UFC and beat down Tim Sylvia for the heavyweight title.

joe takes every possible chance to dis gsp

I’m a big GSP fan……….but I love Matt Serra. He’s a good dude 💪

As someone who’s followed UFC since 2006… people forget the early days of modern UFC had some BRAWLS Matt Sera was a BANGER

I was never a GSP fan but everyone knows matt serras win over GSP was a fluke

Just a podcast with a mirror

I love Matt Serra! I remember watching his fights religiously. Just something about the guy makes you wanna have a beer with him.

This was a Rocky moment in the UFC!

Matt Serra - luckiest fighter ever.

This is amazing!❤

This episode was so good!

Good to see you doing well, Matt. I am a former student of Lou Neglia. I enjoyed watching you fight at the Vanderbilt. In Long Island. On your way to the top to the UFC. Good luck in all your future endeavors.

Matt is one of the few fighters I would want to meet in person.

Was never a huge fan of the young Matt Serra persona. Over the years the more I've seen from him, I really, really respect the guy. Real MMA Old skwl champion right there. Fought the best and he's a great character.

God damn I love Matt Serra, what a personality.

A few beers with matt serra. That sounds like an awesome time.

The light on Joe’s head reflects on Serra’s head

The reflection off of all their heads made the room 10 times brighter, Jamie had to wear sunglasses for this one.

Love Matt Serra mate proper legend

This is like if Joe Rogan interviewed an alternate universe Joe Rogan

Miss this guy, he was all talent and NO nonsense.
