“5 guys can’t beat me and the two people watching” This is why he is my hero just so witty and levels to his gift of gab that the casuals won’t understand…
Hey Chael, I’m just saying I think it’s really cool the way you can just go on and on without any takes as well as always answering your fan’s questions who obviously love you, keep the good work up love it
I'm sorry for your loss Chael. I lost my mother to cancer when I was 19 so I can feel your pain. Together we will find the strength to continue our loved ones legacies.
Sh*t happens, I lost my mother to Cancer and I was 4 years and almost 4 months old, I'm now 45 and I still haven't properly grieved and still can't deal with this
Also love how chael at this point in his life/career is so open about ped use both past and present and makes jokes about how he's juiced to the gills. Also love how he speaks openly about his religious convictions. Whether u agree with his religious beliefs or not; can't hate on a man of conviction...as so many young men have no conviction in their life these days be it religious or not
Well he did not mention religion but only discussed the object of his faith, who is Christ. And faith is not religion. It is much, much more precious, in fact. Thank you for acknowledging his conviction in mentioning this, though. Conviction matters.
@@Thforklift126 faith in gods is religious beliefs , no way to say it's red except to say it's red, my self I don't believe in typical B's but believe in something much higher than hanselvand grettle
Eh, not inherently, no, but it also depends on how a person presents his convictions. The way Chael presents them I have nothing but respect for, but there are people whose convictions bleed, or outright cross, into fanaticism. That is a very different matter and I don't respect it at all. Even going so far as to say that sort of thing is apart of what makes the world a shittier place.
@@Thforklift126 not all faith requires religion but all religions call for some sort of faith. For example christianity relies on a faith in jesus christ. So, what exactly are u trying to say again?
@@blaynegreiner9365 i think u may be slightly confused as well, buddy. Conviction doesn't necessarily have to do with religion at all. Sounds you're more talking about religious fanatics that try to push their beliefs on you or indoctrinate you. Well, these days it's not just religious zealots but also plenty of people of "conviction," whether false or true or misguided or not that are trying to impose their beliefs on someone else. This i think everyone can agree is a bad thing
If every post was like this one q and a I would still watch. This man can talk about anything and make it interesting. Low key one of the best public speakers I have ever watched.
"What you gotta understand is some doors need to have wheels. They're heavy, they take time to move. Do you understand where I'm coming from? ...and this is the thing, I'm not a door guy, per se. Sure, I like doors, but if Jon Jones was standing behind a door, do you think I'd go through it? I'm riding that wheel all the way home, and Dana knows this, but that's why I'm doing it for the fans"
Remembering how Chael says when people are down he doesn't take any shots but helps them back up I feel like this is his way of giving Jones Props while he is down.
You always have a place in your ❤ for your father. I lost mine at this time 16 years ago. I was 38. I'm grateful to have all those 38 years. When Chael mentions, talks or thinks about his Dad, its real.
Chael Sonnen's fight against Fedor Emilianenko is one of my favorite fights ever because Chael managed to make the wrong decision every time and got rocked with every punch that landed.
I like these Q&A fan questions. Somehow this is the first video of yours I've seen answering twitter questions, but I love it. Your openness and honesty makes them super engaging and insightful to watch!!
Enjoying these videos. A while back you said you wish you could just talk like how Rogan, and I hope this is the start of you doing more non-mma content. You have interesting takes.
My favorite chael video maybe ever. Consider doing more of these. Sometimes when your focused on one specific topic you tend to ramble and veer off. This was nice and refreshing in comparison to your usual content. Thanks unc.
Eventually they will recognise that two 15min rounds with a 3 min gap is the daddy format. Round one you get 15ins to finish the opponent with very little ref input, then in the second round the ref is more involved as the fighters tire - guaranteed you will see way more KOs!
You got to love Chael, not only is he one of the baddest dudes ever, but he's so cool that he took the time to answer every question asked, seriously and to the best of his ability, including "is a hot dog a meal or a snack?"
I love the 205 lbs weight class overall. The history of the weight class is nasty ! So many legends , so many sick fights . Ill never forget watching the 2005 Pride Grand Prix , shogun was a beast . Chuck liddell was my favourite fighter , Randy was my Hero and Wanderlei was just a axe murderer . Tito was always entertaining and vitor was competitive , for Anderson silva this is jus normal but Jon Jones bones were too sharp for the rest ,he is the best . 205 for life baby
@@yesiam4610 I've always thought that, he would have been a force to reckon with. But then again, some fighters don't respond well to weight cutting and they don't look good at lower weights. Best example is Anthony Johnson, at 205 he beats everybody but Jones and d.c ,and he knocked out Arlovski at HW but at 185 can't get past vitor belfort and at 170 got choked out by koscheck for fuck sakes .
You’ve touched on the Jones fight before, I believe you said, “I had a lot questions about John and he answered them all once we locked up”. I loved the way you phrased it. As wrestlers we love to put our hands on people and see how they feel, move, strength. It only takes a few seconds to lock horns with someone and realize, “This is not going to go my way”. Another funny example is joe Rogan playing with Mark Coleman and Mark deciding to show joe who the alpha was.
Yeah that's not what happened. Mark Coleman essentially tried to bully Joe Rogan, Joe at one point pulled a simple arm drag, very playful and light, and Coleman immediately uses full strength to push the much smaller man into a corner of a wall. The whole time Joe didn't want any of it.
Mark was being a drunk bully, nothing alpha about that mate. Got issues if you can’t properly have a grip of your ego and you have to result in taking it that step further against a smaller guy that didn’t want it in the first place
I'm glad he admitted that he 'showed up with a higher juice concentration than Tropicana' and still realized he was over his head. Chael has always had praises for Jones except for a couple years after an interview from a few years ago where he felt slighted, rightfully so, because jon refused to talk to him...this was already a few yrs after their fight mind u
The way you started this video Chael, is reminiscent of the Mob guys who have TH-cam channels now. Talking about “the life”. Cosa Nostra, never lost a round. We love hearing about how you really felt and thought. It’s great. The insights from a legend are really something special.
I've been a rabid boxing fan for decades, and definitely into MMA for about 10 yrs now... I've ALWAYS had the same exact thought that Chael articulated in this video, THE LIGHTER ("SMALLER") FIGHTERS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE MOST SKILLED". With less KOs, outside of the exceptions that have that extra power, the need to hone the fundamentals, as well as finding an it-factor in styles, due to more of an expectation to go all the rounds in the fights, is essential. Hence the fact that the lighter weight classes are choc full of flashing the most technique/skills.
The honesty is superb...for most accepting things in life is hard and ruins what time we have left.....thank you chael...from a a 21yr retired disabled army vet....hard to accept your not the same or someone could be better.
Love how he rephrased the question about who he'd like to have lunch with and just visit. Best way to ask the question instead of just who he would like to be in a room with.
Over my time as a Fan (roughly since right before season 1 of TUF in 04-05), light heavyweight has been the marquee division even though that’s slipped over the years. That said, the lightweight division has the most talent, by far.
I agree. The smaller guys can do things the larger guys can't buy the punishment the larger guys dish out takes more out of a person and takes longer to recover and recuperate from. Light heavyweight is the the most dangerous of all the divisions, imo
Mr Sonnen sir you and Bisping are my favourite guys of all time. I love how you buried Tito with the "tell me a Christopher Walken story" . Easily my favourite ufc press conference ever. I have a question if you could fight anyone in any weight class who would it be ?.
Chael, I just happened to be working in Melbourne, Australia when Izzy abs Whitaker were fighting and you were there and we happened to stay in the same hotel. I saw you walk into the breakfast area and went up and introduced myself to you and Ryan. I honestly was intimidated, I didn’t know if you were some arrogant ass or a cool guy and you were a gentleman, I shook your hand you were the coolest man.

Beat all 5 - Legend of the sport ❤
Awesome stuff, Chael, as expected; never disappointed!!! I'm always kinda' frustrated I miss the memo about these Q&A's, but the truth is, I'm not sure what'd I'd ask you. My question would probably go something like this: "Hey, Chael...talk about something! I'll listen!!!" 😂😂😂 💪🤘👊
Just want to point out the rounds are very important for the livelihood of MMA. They help with both pacing of the event so it is both friendly for the audience and advertisers. It allows it to be easily split up especially for judges, especially in the beginning, that don’t know how to quantify what they are seeing.(still don’t know imo) And most importantly what keeps most sports going now a days makes it more likely for people to bet on it which is a large amount of people who would otherwise not take interest in it.
4:24 What Chael says is exactly what happened on the international judo circuit. Women were given a shorter match time than the Men. And this was fairly recently- just a few years ago. Those rules still apply currently. As per the IJF- "Regulation time for all men's matches will be five minutes, and regulation time for all women's matches will be four minutes."
IMHO, the reason it changed to timed rounds was most likely due to "lay n pray" grapplers. Shortened rounds and stand 'em up rules formed because of the lack of action brought about by this style.
True. I think the current time for the rounds is a good balance for the grapplers to work their trade and the strikers to get it done. Grappling is an important part of mma and sometimes that takes time.
Great questions, great answers. My favorite all time division is also LHW but currently it’s the welterweight division without a doubt: Usman, Colby, Chimaev, etc..
0:55 "There ain't 5 of them that can beat me"... there ya go guys... he finally said it 🏆
Nice catch went right over my head
🐐 chael is unmatched
1st thing I noticed shale knows what hes doing he knows his audience very well.
Bro i started clapping when he said that.
Anyone notice "there's 5 million men on earth"?
“Showed up with a higher juice concentration than Tropicana.”
Straight fire!!!
I was looking for this comment to thumbs up rather than posting it myself!

That was absolutely hilarious.
It's only like 5% though. Still funny. Juicebox.

My favorite thing about Chael and his community, is that we all agree on the *FACT* that the man remains undefeated and undisputed. Incredible.
I mean is someone even a real MMA fan if they don’t realize that uncle Chael is the GOAT?
Never lost a round

This is the best - absolutely love hearing the more "personal" side of Chael. God bless you, brother.

Got to love how Chael answered the hotdog question with as much enthusiasm as the fight questions.
Wished someone had asked him wheel's or doors?
I fuckin love this comment.
There’s wheels and there’s doors…….Chael is bigger, more important and more worldwide renowned than both

The honesty about Jones was nice. Thats what we all saw too
As a Chael fan, that one was hard to watch. Straight up schoolyard bullied. But still undisputed, undefeated,

It allows it to be easily split up especially for judges, especially in the beginning, that don’t know how to quantify what they are seeing.(still don’t know imo) And most importantly what keeps most sports going now a days makes it more likely for people to bet on it which is a large amount of people who would otherwise not take interest in it.
we saw what happened with no rounds when royce gracie held everyone in guard for an hour
Almost a million subscribers... "You two viewers"... Gets me every time!
I love how chael is trying to sell everything so bad he will literally sell a hot dog being a meal
4:24 What Chael says is exactly what happened on the international judo circuit. Women were given a shorter match time than the Men. And this was fairly recently- just a few years ago. Those rules still apply currently.
As per the IJF- "Regulation time for all men's matches will be five minutes, and regulation time for all women's matches will be four minutes."
One round 12 straight is such a good idea. I’d love to see that or the implementation of shorter rounds
It’s impressive how he does this without cuts.
You’re an awesome guy, Chael.
I love how passionate chael is with every question. No matter how interesting or not that great a question. Lol
You know Chael is about to get into it when he puts his leg down 😂
IMHO, the reason it changed to timed rounds was most likely due to "lay n pray" grapplers. Shortened rounds and stand 'em up rules formed because of the lack of action brought about by this style.
True. I think the current time for the rounds is a good balance for the grapplers to work their trade and the strikers to get it done. Grappling is an important part of mma and sometimes that takes time.
Thank you Chael for reading the questions. It's very helpful for those of us that are active whilst listening to you.
Your truly blessed Chael! And we all are blessed to be able to hear your takes on literally anything, and it’s fascinating to hear! 🙏
I would give anything to have a conversation with Chael. He has always been my favorite fighter. Wise, extremely intelligent and funny as hell.
lmao at the surprise hotdog question and Chapel's serious response.
The way he refers the to the audience as “you two people” now😂
Great questions, great answers. My favorite all time division is also LHW but currently it’s the welterweight division without a doubt: Usman, Colby, Chimaev, etc..
"Treat my ass like a pin cushion" just out right admitting he did steroids before fighting Jones
he has many times, he doesnt hide it at all, a popluar line of his is "im 44 but look 24 due to steroids and growth hormone"
lol Chael is very open about doing anything and everything on the market. Its one of the things i love most bout him
@@calvindevries Love the honesty
@@calvindevries that's hilarious because it can age your face instead, but if uncle Chael says it, it's truth.
@@critiquemytechnique2.0 Oh i know! facial changes are a huge indicator of gh
Guys we are not going to pretend Chael purposely didn't say he loved Israel before addressing a question from a pro-Palestine follower
Jon jones also wants no part of Chael, he's never recovered from that toe injury.
I don't agree with everything chael says but I keep coming back because he is honest as hell and I learn stuff from him
