    I’ll jump in the cage with Rogan. Problem is, he’s never really fought in his entire career. He’s a sham and weak. Why won’t he get in the cage?

        Agreed, but until youve actually done it, you don’t really have experience. You can watch and train all you want in something like that, but nothing beats experience in hand to hand combat. Punching pads isn’t the same as wrestling a gun or knife from someone who’s willing to die to kill you, or thinks their life is on the line because you exist.

        It’s a different world, with different motivation and different experience. There’s no tapping out when someone wants you dead. Jake Paul has more muscle than me, but I would never bet on him over me, ever, because of my force of will, and experience. It’s really hard to explain the difference to someone who’s never been in that position. Sometimes it’s skill, sometimes it’s luck, sometimes it’s sheer force of will.

          Sorry to respond a millennium later but yeah, I know what you’re saying. I can throw and land a hard punch but I know I can’t withstand severe damage. I took some hits from much larger people in rec leagues and high school sports that concussed me and I didn’t want no part of that going forward. I can’t do no book learnin’ psychics but I think I learned practical physics pretty well.

          JR also has little to no self awareness, a trait he shares with the people who follow him long term
