@Alan Belcher Ric Flair was the most hated man in America in the 80'e and early 90's and he was in a scripted sport. Just because it's an "act" doesn't mean it doesn't sell tremendously and have a place in this sport. You will see more and more Colby Covington's as time goes on, because heels sell.
I'd pay money to see chael smack Schuab around......cant take away from schuab for having the balls to step in that octagon but chael would destroy him ....easily too
svarge He got cocky after beating an old Mirko Cro Cop, he is less funny then Joe Rogan and that’s saying a lot imo, he always acts super nice to fighters on his shows and then talks shit behind their back, agrees with things that contradict what he previously said, has a Netflix special even though he’s never made a soul laugh( Amy Schumer wannabe ), talks about how fat he is all the time, calls everyone he knows a really nice great person except those he dislikes, got knocked out by the guy who’s fucking his ex girlfriend, has a baby face, bullies a 50 year old comedian, calls people who’s girl he’s fucked “Eskimo brothers”, started crying insinuating he was ashamed of Chris Delia and know the allegations were disproven so he’s a backstabbing friend, sucks Eddie Bravos dick (ngl rightfully so), and tried to engage in a verbal war with the people’s champion Cheal Sonnen

When you mainly listen to podcasts by MMA fighters, it's understandable that you'd think he's a genius. That he's incredibly articulate. Because he can speak, he can express himself, at a normal level. But he's hardly the genius of rhetoric you're suggesting he is. 12:40 for instance. "Focal group". Focal group. This from the master of rhetoric. No, he's no master if oratory. That people think he is, that anyone thinks he is, is a sad indicator of what most people know, who most people listen to, and the rapid descent into idiocy, which has engulfed the US general population.
MakerInMotion that’s not how it works. Dana doesn’t handle the financial/marketing side of the ufc. He’s in charge of making/promoting fights. He’s not the CEO
This was a truly ingenious view into the sport. Chael was 100% correct. Edit: Including that he started this whole kayfabe style of promotion in MMA. The biggest expert in the world in this realm.
@@dominickschrute3084 Chael is right on the money. Fight promotion is fight promotion doesn't matter if the outcomes predetermined or legitimate contest. You're still selling the same thing a fight with two men doing battle. You promoted it sell it to the audience the exact same way= when is it? where is it? who is fighting? How can I see it? and why should I care? You to give the fans someone to like and cheer for and somebody else to hate and boo. Muhammad Ali was listening to wrestler Gorgeous George piss off the audience and he was wondering why somebody would intentionally make people hate them. Then he looked around the arena and he saw it was full! Ali figured out that day he could make way more money if people are paying to see him get his ass kicked then to come and cheer for him. He proudly admits to blatantly ripping off Gorgeous George. I totally agree with Chael's other point. WWE has admitted it's a work and not real athletic competition. They sure as hell DON'T DO IT DURING THE SHOW on pay-per-views or Raw/SmackDown, blatantly pointing out to your audience that what you are selling them is bullshit. Vince McMahon would fire the person in a second if they did that.. You don't give out Colby Covington's gimmick while he's performing the gimmick live on air FFS You talk about it off air podcast. This is why so many people are disenfranchised with the current WWE product. You can't blatantly shit on your fans intelligence
Chael is by far the best business minded mma fighter in history. This man paved the road for Colby and Conor. All of the fighters should thank Chael whenever/if ever they make it
I doubt he cares much. He built this channel with the intentions of giving entertainment and knowledge to others. They're both rich. They've both got a good podcast. I personally prefer Chael's podcast for the reason being, shorter videos and right to the point. So again, I'm doubting he cares all that much about it.
I’m glad that Chael gives wrestling so much props. Yes, it’s a different thing…yes, it’s not a competition. But people tune in for the same reasons. You give them an investment, someone to root for, someone to “boo”, something to hold onto, something that gives them a break from their lives. From baseball to mma to wrestling, concerts and the movies, it’s all one in the same at the end of the day.
BJJ literally started because Gastão Gracie owned a circus, and would showcase exhibition fights between Japanese Judoka and local fighters, including wrestlers. The Gracie sons then learnt his fighting techniques and held their own exhibitions. Modern MMA and pro-wrestling have the same carnie origins.
Hes a smart business man. He and Dana both know theyre basically exactly the same business models..it's selling/promoting a FIGHT and attempting to get folks emotionally invested to spend money. Difference obviously being wrestling is predetermined/worked and laid out before hand or on the fly in the ring to get you to believe 2 men are truly beating the hell out of one another, while obviously MMA is legitimate prizefighting. But..Chael grew up loving wrestling and being from Oregon and close to 50 I assume he grew up on the legendary Portland territory back in the day where many a legend made names for themselves like Roddy Piper, Billy Jack Haynes, Playboy Buddy Rose, on and on and KNOWS that wrestling promotion is tried and true for DECADES and that'll work beautifully for true prizefighting which it does. Even Dana has states countless times he and the brothers modeled their business after WWF/E and Vince McMahon's brilliant strategy. Personal issues draw money...as they used to say In Memphis.

The sport grew and became better when Chael came along. No better showman than Chael because of the way he carried himself in and out of the ring. A perfect promoter.
@Jay Russ Not even close, ever....... All Conor could ever be is a loudmouth railing idiot. 'Showmanship' is not the ability to spew an incessant diatribe of obscenity laced meaningless drivel. Outside of the ring, Conor's contrived 'public persona' is nothing more than that of a performing chimp, easily outdone by even the likes of a Nate Diaz. Chael Sonnen epitomizes the mastery of showmanship in that any listening audience is under his complete command and is held enraptured by either his eloquent delivery of thought provoking musings, improv humour laced responsive rants that slay all adversaries, or searing comments of sardonic wit that humiliate any target he's chosen. Uncle Chael speaks...... people listen. Chael Sonnen, alone, is and always will be the 'master class' of showmanship in all of MMA....... Undefeated, Undisputed, never lost a round.
@@jtaco4101 Okay, Jose, but with all due respect, how am I to take your opinion seriously? Was it not you, Jose, who I saw trying to feed a carrot to a bus waiting at a stop light? Your Dad was stroking it's side panel saying "easy there big fella". Dude, you thought a bus was a horse! Oh, You know, I kid 🤗
Chael is right. I get so excited when someone says they also watch MMA... but as you start pushing the conversation deeper, you realize most of the time people just watch the odd fight here and there. Or they only watch when their favorite star is fighting. It's actually pretty damn rare to find someone that tunes into most fights, and even more rare to find someone that listens to MMA related talks like this on TH-cam. Hardcore fans know what Colby is doing, but your average person isn't gonna know jack shit about Colby, and every time he speaks, there's a bunch of people out there that are hearing him for the very first time.
Chael was actually a True top Contender in his career. Brendan Schaub was Just big and strong but he was stiff and not very good. It would probably be the same result as Soonen vs Rampage
People are too blinded by their hatred towards Colby Covington to really listen to what Chaels saying. I don't like Colby at all but even I know that as a commentator representing the UFC, its extremely stupid to say something like what Rogan said and expose Colbys schtick to the casual fan who may have just been tuning in. People will argue that Joe can say what he wants, Chael cant control what Rogan says and Rogan's just saying what he sees etc but what it comes down to is what he said was unnecessary and set back the image Colby's been portraying, which hurts his business in the long run and the UFC's.
Joe's actual error that night was calling for a rubber match from Whittaker who was 2-0 against Romero. He took it on himself to be like, "You know you lost that fight right?" Not his job.
What good would that even do? Let's say Romero would win the rubber match, then it's still 2-1 on paper. You can't say Whittakers wins don't count and you can't make them do a best out of five either. So weird.
Did anybody see Chael cut the chord on The Apprentice and how he was like “what just happened?” As he got up off the floor holding scissors? Chael is an American hero
I fucking love this guy. Legend! An icon still living. I need to meet him in person at some point in my life. Lets hope he comes to England sometime....
Chael has to be the best doing it right now, so much knowledge, charisma, and how well spoken he is. Use to hate him but listening to him talk completely changed my mind
Ugly Rabbit Yeah I'm with you. This is garanteed cringe. With Cheal's overly staged delivery and Brendan throwing insults like a woman. Don't get me wrong, there WILL be hilarious moments but the juice will not be worth the drawl.
David Powers lol I think you completely underestimate how dumb people are. Pretty much every video on MMA World with Colby in it is full of comments of people triggered by him. If they were aware he's acting, why would they get so upset? And that's a channel full of hardcore fans
Chael is right tbh, most fans are casuals, just look at all the abuse and hate Colby gets. If people knew it was an act why would people be so angry over it?
Led Loaf Agreed. 15%? Most likely, less. But, to assume even casual fans are childish enough to buy into the "heel" that is Colby's fabricated persona is ridiculous. They came here to see him lose. Not to hear trash talk, but to see if he backs up the talk. Dear lord, UFC 226 is the only saving grace.
It’s just about promoting. Pro wrestling has always been about imitating actual fight promotion. Real fighting was about larger than life legends and fake feuds before WWF ever existed. Selling the fight is where the money comes from.
J Clark There were some REAL feuds too, though. Tito and Ken, Wanderlei and Rampage, some random rivalries. Back in the day, people used to tune in because of a particular fights excitement, not because of WWE-esque trash talk. The sport hasnt evolved, but the fans have. Its still about proving who is the best and exhibiting skill sets, but now the heirarchy of a division is leapfrogged by the guy who talks the most shit. Its as if cringy is synonymous with popular these days and thats just plain wrong, subjectively. Objectively, Chael has no data to back his "15% vs 85%" claim, as that can only be speculation due to not knowing the amount of PPVs a particular household buys. Ever heard of bootleg? Some people havent bought a fight in years, yet still watch them somehow, especially those who only tune in once every 2 years to see a certain Irishman....so how exactly can Chael assume Scott or Dana have the clairvoyant abilities necessary to arrive at the conclusion that the predominant driving force of mma fandom is casual? Im sure it is, but 85%? I smell nonsense.
Honestly it’s weird how this video in itself reveals so much solid knowledge useful in different industries, while not having to reveal someone’s blueprint haha. This is way more valuable
Book Snake damn, you must be short and extremely insecure about your size. Because you have really it out for tall/big people. Did you get bullied by someone taller than you? Or maybe your lover left you for someone taller? Don't worry little guy, not all tall/big people are bad.
Red Dead Junk Head lol, so? Coke is pretty popular, they still spend millions on marketing. This is bullshit. EVERYONE knows Colby is playing the heel, shit he’s said so publicly. These are not hidden trade secrets, it’s not a magic trick. This is a made up beef to generate more traffic.
@@subhanamjad8787 I have nothing against Schaub as the rest do wasnt a great fighter cause hes just not one. An athlete yes most definitely. But with that said he knocked out an aged and on his way out cro cop. Its THE cro cop from his glory days but still a highly trained fighter so still give em props.
"Ironically, chael goes on a tirade about "joe exposing the business" when in reality, chael is exposing Colby himself. Funny chael doesn't realize that if he never addressed it, nobody would think of it. Like I said, If you are a 12 year old boy and thought Colby was real, what Joe said wouldn't make you realize what's going on. However, if you then watched Chaels podcast, you WOULD. Funny irony here." - @Revoltub
Jeff Dredd was thinking the same thing. He gave me a way bigger insight into the business than Rogan ever did. Good for his podcast that this blew up but not good for his point. His pod cast might be mainly that 15% [wich is probably decreasing] but now he is reaching Schaubs 85% and giving them MORE info
f r EH - d ee V I have no love for Rogan, he's a flip flopping sell out and I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw his gigantic boulder head. The point still stands. Also it's in quotations and not signed by me because the comment is from revoltub on Sherdog, I just felt like it needed to be read by the morons like you more than the Sherbros.
Chael is pretty deep and an intellectual. He's on a different level when it comes to public speaking. You can see/hear him "turn it on" and off. Chael blends the lines of truth or his honest opinions with marketing, in-character talk very well. He's a black belt in what we call "verbal judo".
I think the easiest way to find out that people actually DON'T know Colby is playing a role is the fact that so many people get very mad at him for acting this way. If people truly knew this was a shtick, a lot more people would just roll their eyes and move on. He gets people annoyed with his manipulation tactics and makes them want to watch him lose...and even if they knew Colby was just gaming them, the more the point of "he is just gaming you" comes up, the less likely they are to slip into making an emotional choice to buy a PPV just to watch Colby potentially lose.
I disagree,of course it's just a shtick,any fool can see that,but inreckon the irony of his shtick is that it works because he is so bad at it,I don't dislike him cause of the "mean" shit he says and does,I dislike him cause every time he speaks he is clearly so fake,it's like watching a TV show where the acting is terrible. His plan has only half worked tho,make us hate him he had managed,make us care enough to buy his fights he had not,if Woodley beats him he will be hated and not even have made much money out of it
I think the fact that it's an act, and that he is so bad at it, makes it worse. Where I live some media conglomerate bought the UFC broadcasting rights, making it impossible to buy individual PPVs in favour of a subscription service that includes them all. So even if I don't watch the covington cards, I'm still paying him and that pisses me off.
SurriSama no they are mad at the things he say just because we know something is not real dont mean it wont effect ppl. Come on now the movie industry is built on this principal
Chael is still doing what he did in the ufc. Bringing up big names to get more attention to himself. It used to be big name fighters now it's big name podcasters.
You never hear the boxing community nor the media discuss how Mohammad Ali was stunting his fight promotions. No body openly talks about it. The vast majority of spectators think it is real and never question it. And then on occasion when there is a Tyson who goes crazy like McGregor it makes all the other stuff seem real. No body discusses this.
You reveal it because the audience value authenticity. In wwe there are clear lines for the characters to be in and out of character. In UFC there isn't. So being fake can be quite insulting to somebody who doesn't really get it. Authenticity.
Chael, you don't need to take Schaub to school. The short bus already does that.

Nah, Joe Rogan stans (and by extension Shaub stans) are ride or die bitches.
I like both Chael and Joe and have heard both say that Colby is putting on an act so I don't see what his problem really is...
@Alan Belcher Ric Flair was the most hated man in America in the 80'e and early 90's and he was in a scripted sport. Just because it's an "act" doesn't mean it doesn't sell tremendously and have a place in this sport. You will see more and more Colby Covington's as time goes on, because heels sell.
I think its obvious where this is going. Chael Sonnen vs Brendan Schaub for the Bellator HW Title.
Schaub is not a good fighter, theres a reason dana white gave him his walking papers
Moses Hamlett I would definitely pay the money to see that!

You won't, because it doesn't exist. He meant "focus group".
You ought to be looking for "malapropism". Let me define it for you.
_”The blundering use of an inappropriate word or expression in place of a similar-sounding one."_
The sport grew and became better when Chael came along. No better showman than Chael because of the way he carried himself in and out of the ring. A perfect promoter.
Totally disagree. Oh well. I remember when MMA was a sport.
@@jtaco4101 that must have been an interesting fever dream
You're right he even had me believing he beat Silva as well lol
@Jay Russ Not even close, ever....... All Conor could ever be is a loudmouth railing idiot. 'Showmanship' is not the ability to spew an incessant diatribe of obscenity laced meaningless drivel. Outside of the ring, Conor's contrived 'public persona' is nothing more than that of a performing chimp, easily outdone by even the likes of a Nate Diaz.
Chael Sonnen epitomizes the mastery of showmanship in that any listening audience is under his complete command and is held enraptured by either his eloquent delivery of thought provoking musings, improv humour laced responsive rants that slay all adversaries, or searing comments of sardonic wit that humiliate any target he's chosen. Uncle Chael speaks...... people listen.
Chael Sonnen, alone, is and always will be the 'master class' of showmanship in all of MMA....... Undefeated, Undisputed, never lost a round.
@@jtaco4101 Okay, Jose, but with all due respect, how am I to take your opinion seriously? Was it not you, Jose, who I saw trying to feed a carrot to a bus waiting at a stop light? Your Dad was stroking it's side panel saying "easy there big fella".
Dude, you thought a bus was a horse! Oh, You know, I kid 🤗
Chael is right. I get so excited when someone says they also watch MMA... but as you start pushing the conversation deeper, you realize most of the time people just watch the odd fight here and there. Or they only watch when their favorite star is fighting. It's actually pretty damn rare to find someone that tunes into most fights, and even more rare to find someone that listens to MMA related talks like this on TH-cam. Hardcore fans know what Colby is doing, but your average person isn't gonna know jack shit about Colby, and every time he speaks, there's a bunch of people out there that are hearing him for the very first time.
Still gatekeeping MMA?
@@wackyadz06 hes getting the next title shot, good matchup for him too
Brendan: thats nice
Joe: naa I don't really like it
Brendan: yeah, ur right
chael vs shaub in bellator 👊
alex 805 lmfao as funny as that is, I would pay to see that
Chael was actually a True top Contender in his career. Brendan Schaub was Just big and strong but he was stiff and not very good. It would probably be the same result as Soonen vs Rampage
dude man but schaub is 6'4 and a true heavyweight but chael is a natural 185er
Chael would fuck Brendan up lol
leslychow2 Brendan has been knocked out 8 times.
10:59: “I’m ending this segment”
*video is 26 minutes long*
God I love you Chael
His career was epic but he's turned into the best analyst since then. Nothing but the truth.
People are too blinded by their hatred towards Colby Covington to really listen to what Chaels saying. I don't like Colby at all but even I know that as a commentator representing the UFC, its extremely stupid to say something like what Rogan said and expose Colbys schtick to the casual fan who may have just been tuning in. People will argue that Joe can say what he wants, Chael cant control what Rogan says and Rogan's just saying what he sees etc but what it comes down to is what he said was unnecessary and set back the image Colby's been portraying, which hurts his business in the long run and the UFC's.
Well said ..and 💯 Rogan is a luciferian transhumanist schill ..btw
@@sprocketrages33 what's a luciferian transhumanist shill?? Thanks for your time
Some one who wants humans to become cyborgs?
Jon Jones ; As I said...

Brendan literally thinks he's smart when he says 'Uno Colby's faking it right?'
same thing as “you know pro wrestling is all fake right??”

"In this space you're either a worker or a mark, and if you're not smart enough to be a worker then you're a mark."
True for all time and space.
Joe's actual error that night was calling for a rubber match from Whittaker who was 2-0 against Romero. He took it on himself to be like, "You know you lost that fight right?" Not his job.
What good would that even do? Let's say Romero would win the rubber match, then it's still 2-1 on paper. You can't say Whittakers wins don't count and you can't make them do a best out of five either.
So weird.
I hate that meat head Joe
I wish Chael took Schlob to school way more often
He can’t, that’s the short bus drivers job.
I can't wait to see Brendan respond. He will run to Rogan for his second response.
Remember when Rogan told Brendan that he sucks.
They’ll all three do a podcast together and suck each other off and it’ll all be ok
Gerrold Lloyd Lmao yeah I just listened to a clip yesterday of Brendan and Callen talking about how he went home after that and cried for 30 minutes.
Lmao one more for the bad guy
"people pretending to be douchebags for views is an industry secret" - chael
Brendan sounds like he always needs to blow his nose
LOL it's so true though haha
I like how chael posted this and titled it “chael sonner takes schaub to school”
Did anybody see Chael cut the chord on The Apprentice and how he was like “what just happened?” As he got up off the floor holding scissors? Chael is an American hero
So many dislikes because Joe and Brendan fans so sad... and pathetic
Dick Masterson or it could be people actually disagree with sonnen. I myself agree with sonnen but I can see both sides
Dick Masterson I down voted the video and your comment
@@georgelopez9872 there is no disagreeing with Uncle Chael. You either agree or you're wrong. Undefeated, undisputed.
Pony Montana fair enough
Pretty sure most of Joe rogan fans hate Brendon like me.

Click Translate to English under this comment for a good laugh

Anyone else laugh their ass off at Chaels Rock impression?
The American Gangster stays dropping knowledge. Pick it up folks.

Can't wait till schaubs Diss track

I fucking love this guy. Legend! An icon still living.
I need to meet him in person at some point in my life.
Lets hope he comes to England sometime....
Let’s hope brother

Andrew Fowler Schaub wouldn't dare fight the GOAT.
“Get off your biscuit and risk it”
Sonnen 2020
RISK IT FOR A BISCUIT is the saying i heard that saying 30 years ago and it was around 30 more years before i heard it .
24:33 ahh yes, that famous great quote lol
Chael has to be the best doing it right now, so much knowledge, charisma, and how well spoken he is. Use to hate him but listening to him talk completely changed my mind
Class is in session
Dude Brendan agreed with Chael on alot of points it's pretty lame that Chael showed the only part where Brendan disagreed
Please no... I don't want this to become a thing.
Ugly Rabbit
Yeah I'm with you. This is garanteed cringe. With Cheal's overly staged delivery and Brendan throwing insults like a woman. Don't get me wrong, there WILL be hilarious moments but the juice will not be worth the drawl.
Giovanni Roman I thought I covered that by using the word 'I'
As you can see through 90% of these responses, this is a thing and people love it.
LokedOutSteelAJ everyone loves a bit of beef.
You don’t have to be a hardcore MMA fan to see that Coby is attempting to play a role. I’d argue 85% of all MMA fans realize what cobys doing, not 15%
I like chael but yeah he is just booty hurt because colby is his boy
I doubt it, you’d be surprised the amount of people that only see ads and promo.
Jacob “kayfabe is the future” Pickerin
David Powers lol I think you completely underestimate how dumb people are. Pretty much every video on MMA World with Colby in it is full of comments of people triggered by him. If they were aware he's acting, why would they get so upset? And that's a channel full of hardcore fans
Chael is right tbh, most fans are casuals, just look at all the abuse and hate Colby gets. If people knew it was an act why would people be so angry over it?
I was listening to this when I flipped my truck over 3 times uncle Chael. Neckbrace and all that night had to finish listening
Jacob Ranic is this for real???
3 years later and Brendan knows less than what he did when this video was posted.
Ufc isn't wwe as much as Chael wants it to be.
nameless76 mozwhaz how isn't it though only different is the fights in wwe are scripted
It's not but it uses elements of it.
Led Loaf Agreed. 15%? Most likely, less. But, to assume even casual fans are childish enough to buy into the "heel" that is Colby's fabricated persona is ridiculous. They came here to see him lose. Not to hear trash talk, but to see if he backs up the talk.
Dear lord, UFC 226 is the only saving grace.
It’s just about promoting. Pro wrestling has always been about imitating actual fight promotion. Real fighting was about larger than life legends and fake feuds before WWF ever existed. Selling the fight is where the money comes from.
J Clark There were some REAL feuds too, though. Tito and Ken, Wanderlei and Rampage, some random rivalries. Back in the day, people used to tune in because of a particular fights excitement, not because of WWE-esque trash talk. The sport hasnt evolved, but the fans have. Its still about proving who is the best and exhibiting skill sets, but now the heirarchy of a division is leapfrogged by the guy who talks the most shit. Its as if cringy is synonymous with popular these days and thats just plain wrong, subjectively.
Objectively, Chael has no data to back his "15% vs 85%" claim, as that can only be speculation due to not knowing the amount of PPVs a particular household buys. Ever heard of bootleg? Some people havent bought a fight in years, yet still watch them somehow, especially those who only tune in once every 2 years to see a certain Irishman....so how exactly can Chael assume Scott or Dana have the clairvoyant abilities necessary to arrive at the conclusion that the predominant driving force of mma fandom is casual? Im sure it is, but 85%?
I smell nonsense.
Chael's famous too many buttons shirt.
Honestly it’s weird how this video in itself reveals so much solid knowledge useful in different industries, while not having to reveal someone’s blueprint haha. This is way more valuable
Brendan isn't as articulate as he thinks.
He's articulate and humored enough to get it and stand listening to. Plus articulation isn't everything, Chael is an articulate prick.
Louis Cypher hes not articulate at all
Book Snake damn, you must be short and extremely insecure about your size. Because you have really it out for tall/big people. Did you get bullied by someone taller than you? Or maybe your lover left you for someone taller? Don't worry little guy, not all tall/big people are bad.
Neither is Chael if we're being honest.
You mean at all? He thinks he is so smart and that he knows everything about the business and he’s so wrong about so much of it all it’s embarrassing
Chael, my son wants his shirt back
Haha!
That’s a XXL idiot, chaels just that massive
Chael using this beef to build up his own channel haha
Why not? That's how he build up his whole career..
That’s why I love this. He killing a few birds with the same stone.
L Murphy - 100% correct. This is complete bullshit.
His channel is already pretty damn popular, hes just reiterating what he said before
Red Dead Junk Head lol, so? Coke is pretty popular, they still spend millions on marketing. This is bullshit. EVERYONE knows Colby is playing the heel, shit he’s said so publicly. These are not hidden trade secrets, it’s not a magic trick. This is a made up beef to generate more traffic.
Brendan was the worst fighter I’ve ever seen. The only reason why he’s relevant is because of Joe Rogan.
He knocked out Cro Cop
He had a 9-5 MMA record. That's far from the worst fighter.
Not the worst u idiot he beat some real guys
@@subhanamjad8787 I have nothing against Schaub as the rest do wasnt a great fighter cause hes just not one. An athlete yes most definitely. But with that said he knocked out an aged and on his way out cro cop. Its THE cro cop from his glory days but still a highly trained fighter so still give em props.
@@Cg-ru3eh true not the worst
"...hope that you have the intelligence that god gave geese" LOLOL 😂😂😂😂
Brendan Schaub talking about people *"tuning in to watch someone lose"* exactly describes his own career.
What a 🤡
10:26 greatest fuckn analogy for this situation. Wow. Chael is a fuckn genius
Schaub, rogan and crew give me the impression that they are very cliquey, chael i believe is spot on.
Yuuuup I thought the same thing. Reminds me of high school 🤣
I think he schooled john jones more that brendan here and I love it! as I said before... LOL
Sonnen def changed the game, and mickmac came a long and took it to another level, but same game.
Ok let's set this up. Chael, Joe, and Brendan in a room together. Who gets dragged into the hole?
pupane Brendan...because Joe ends up turning on him!
Chael
Brendan
pupane whoever Uncle Chael deems to be the biggest pussy
pupane Chael tells Joe there is a float tank at the bottom and he jumps in voluntarily
Damn. This is like when your dad used to say, I don't want to do this but, I have to spank you for what you did. Haha.
"Ironically, chael goes on a tirade about "joe exposing the business" when in reality, chael is exposing Colby himself.
Funny chael doesn't realize that if he never addressed it, nobody would think of it.
Like I said, If you are a 12 year old boy and thought Colby was real, what Joe said wouldn't make you realize what's going on. However, if you then watched Chaels podcast, you WOULD.
Funny irony here."
- @Revoltub
Jeff Dredd was thinking the same thing. He gave me a way bigger insight into the business than Rogan ever did. Good for his podcast that this blew up but not good for his point. His pod cast might be mainly that 15% [wich is probably decreasing] but now he is reaching Schaubs 85% and giving them MORE info
To be fair, the difference is people who listen to Chaels podcast are the "insiders"... Rogan on the ppv is a different story
dan4isaboss but this reached 100k more than schaels listeners
f r EH - d ee V I have no love for Rogan, he's a flip flopping sell out and I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw his gigantic boulder head. The point still stands.
Also it's in quotations and not signed by me because the comment is from revoltub on Sherdog, I just felt like it needed to be read by the morons like you more than the Sherbros.
No Chael is calling out what Rogan is doing and has to go into detail because other people are ridiculing him.
we're the marks guys there's no actual real beef going on
Chael is brilliant
He understands the fight game beyond just kicking someone in the head
Wow Kevin Lee actually got to fit into all of this! 23:20
Niether are you.
Chael is pretty deep and an intellectual. He's on a different level when it comes to public speaking. You can see/hear him "turn it on" and off. Chael blends the lines of truth or his honest opinions with marketing, in-character talk very well. He's a black belt in what we call "verbal judo".
You have Chael juice on your chin. Here's a napkin.
I think the easiest way to find out that people actually DON'T know Colby is playing a role is the fact that so many people get very mad at him for acting this way. If people truly knew this was a shtick, a lot more people would just roll their eyes and move on. He gets people annoyed with his manipulation tactics and makes them want to watch him lose...and even if they knew Colby was just gaming them, the more the point of "he is just gaming you" comes up, the less likely they are to slip into making an emotional choice to buy a PPV just to watch Colby potentially lose.
I disagree,of course it's just a shtick,any fool can see that,but inreckon the irony of his shtick is that it works because he is so bad at it,I don't dislike him cause of the "mean" shit he says and does,I dislike him cause every time he speaks he is clearly so fake,it's like watching a TV show where the acting is terrible. His plan has only half worked tho,make us hate him he had managed,make us care enough to buy his fights he had not,if Woodley beats him he will be hated and not even have made much money out of it
i think a lot did indeed roll their eyes and move on considering there were no eyes on the PPV
I think the fact that it's an act, and that he is so bad at it, makes it worse. Where I live some media conglomerate bought the UFC broadcasting rights, making it impossible to buy individual PPVs in favour of a subscription service that includes them all. So even if I don't watch the covington cards, I'm still paying him and that pisses me off.
SurriSama no they are mad at the things he say just because we know something is not real dont mean it wont effect ppl. Come on now the movie industry is built on this principal
People don't hate colbie because he's a sick or they hope he loses. They just see right thru his act and it fucking annoying
I think 🤔 somebody needs a Snickers😂
“To make a dollar in this world, you must do one of two things; you must provide a good or a service.” Sooo true
A year later and this video has aged like fine wine
God I love these videos .Chael is absolutely right and I love how he calls these guys out on their higher than thou comments that don’t serve anyone
Yes !
I still don't feel like I know what we're talking about
Chaels lightyears ahead of all these guys
Chael is still doing what he did in the ufc. Bringing up big names to get more attention to himself. It used to be big name fighters now it's big name podcasters.
Brandon Squab = "A big name podcaster"
*LOL*
It hasn't been a "trade secret" since Mohammad Ali
"secret" or not... what's the point of telling everyone it's a work? How does that help shit?
yup
You never hear the boxing community nor the media discuss how Mohammad Ali was stunting his fight promotions. No body openly talks about it.
The vast majority of spectators think it is real and never question it. And then on occasion when there is a Tyson who goes crazy like McGregor it makes all the other stuff seem real.
No body discusses this.
You reveal it because the audience value authenticity. In wwe there are clear lines for the characters to be in and out of character. In UFC there isn't. So being fake can be quite insulting to somebody who doesn't really get it. Authenticity.
The real problem is Joe is a hypocrite. He lays out false narratives all the time.
Chael is the goat of stand up
"I get asked that all the time." "WELL THEN IT'S PROBABLY A GOOD QUESTION!" I fucking love Chael.
