I love how he chokes up with a mention of his dad
Legit guy
Legend
it proves he is a real person and a real man
Just gonna say the same, he's a noble man with excellent family values
You ain’t kidding... that father/son relationship is always specials! Don’t forget your pops tomorrow.
Absolutely a legend
Man that just made me tear up I’m kinda lost in life rn myself and seeing such a real moment from such a successful guy fuck man life is hard.
Dude fought Fedor, Jones and Anderson Silva. Crazy.
@SammyNoNo DC never fought Fedor...
Wanderlei, Bisbing, Rashad, Rampage, Tito, the list goes on.. Chael fought the baddest dudes on the planet.
And never lost a round to them
He also beat Wanderlei, Bisping, Rampage and Mauricio Rua. He also made Tito tap out.
He was also juiced to the gills fighting all these guys
That was such a heartbreaking line
“I promised my dad”
Chael wanted to make it movie dramatic. The heel turning face.
Did he also promise his dad to use TRT to win fights?
@@NewCanadianTurtle I'm sure his dad knew that was a requirement at the time.
Sukhdev Sohal Year 12 He basically did early in his career but the champ dident make weight so it dident count, bullshit
NFL YoungBoy Don’t be naive. He held himself back from tears right there...
Ariel changing the subject to stop chael crying 🙌🙌🙌🙌
EXACTLY. PEOPLE are saying why would Ariel would bring up that they saw him lose. Ariel knew how to segue to something else that would cheer Chael up. HIS KIDS.
I'm not crying, YOU ARE!
That was a true show of how good Ariel is at interviewing. Being able to stop that thought and direct his sadness to the best part of his life was impressive.
yeah that was cool, Chael was choking up thinking about his Dad
@@arachnophilegrrl crying over a fixed sport?
Chael mentioned his dad and got choked up...Good run Chael your dad would be proud.
Webbit2019 he would be!! Greatest of all time the undisputed and undefeated
Emmanuel Tusa undefeated how ??
London Shah undefeated as in he’s never lost before
Chase yeah that’s how they address him but he did loose some fights right bro
London Shah he’s never even lost a round
Chael "undefeated" Sonnen will be missed.......
The bad guy....👍👍👏👏
NEVA LOST
Enjoy your Life
BE MISSED ONLY BY IDIOTS LIKE YOU, and 206 OTHER BRAIN DEAD FUCKS
@@davidson2004fatboy Get a grip.
@@davidson2004fatboy says the nobody that never achieved anything.
American Gangster.
The Bad Guy.. The Legend.. The Original trash talker in MMA.. You the man Chael.
I may hate the trash talk. I may hate all of that.
I can't hate Chael. He's a man!
Ken Cromwell i used to really dislike him. He won me over, over the years.
Srinaath Anbudurai I don’t know about that but he will be missed
@Srinaath Anbudurai can't really compare the two. Different weight classes, fighting styles and different competition. Both good in their own right.
@@andmillions not joking around or anything mate, but sonnens never been world champ, mcgregor was two weight world champ within a couple of years of being in the ufc lmao, bigggggg difference but both legends in their own right.
thanks for the memories chael, all the best
and still undefeated and undisputed baby!
Chael has never lost a second of any fight, good man.
In 3 different class weight
Only uncle chael can
This Trump supporter deserved it. Steroids, cheating, bullying others, lying,etc. I used to be his biggest fan but glad he is out of the sport now
John Smith what the fuck are you on about
Ay yall I'm on lsd right now just hanging on!!!lmao
It kills me every time he mentions that promise to his father. It sunk in there, and the impregnable force that is Chael showed a crack in the armour, let a tear out. That hit me hard man, well done Chael, you’re the man!
He kept the promise and made his father proud...he retired undefeated, undisputed
Chael "I can't let you get close" Sonnen. You will be missed!
Stop alcohol
Classic moment
hahaha classic!
1:57 you could hear his voice is getting emotional when he mentioned his father ❤️ thank you for the good memories Uncle Chael and never forget that Tito tapped out 😊
Luca Trece me too
@@LucaPoop same man, when he got choked up talking about his father that shit made it hard not to get emotional
@@valo_141x I reckon he was a champ, he beat Filho in the WEC, that was meant to be a title fight but Filho missed weight. You know what, I'll give it to him, he deserves it
That hurt my heart. Hope he can let that go
I feel bad he couldn't win a belt for his dad in MMA...
Champions come and go Chael is more than that... he's a legend.
Someone email this to him because its truth.
He is no legend
@@haraldharam9334 And who the fuck are you? Just keep making coconut oil...
@@haraldharam9334 his a legend
Nostrodanus 1 nah, I’m with Harald! Especially since the person who says he’s a legend has a profile pic of Carlton from Fresh Prince bruh! And I don’t make coconut oil
You could see that Chael teared up when he mentioned the promise he made to his dad but then stopped abruptly! God Bless Bad Guy, and thanks for the memories!!
Chael, you did become a champion when you beat Paulo Filho at WEC 36. It was supposed to be a title fight but Filho missed weight. And you still beat him. You are an MMA champ, bro. Good luck with the next phase of your life.
@@metaldude198 true and paulo even sent him the belt later
ariel stopped him
you dont say sherlock.
Aaron Barron ok
Love chael.. thank god he still has a stage to speak.
Haha didnt know you liked mma, weird to see you here
“I PROMISED MY FATHER...”
Hail Chael
Arcalias Giants I choked up
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
And he fulfilled it. He beat Filho in WEC but wasn't awarded the belt because Filho missed weight. It's a crock of shit and everyone knows Chael was WEC champ.
Hail chael
Such a brutally honest person. Great shit talker but so humble at the same time. Much respect!
Great fighter too
You could see how he almost cried when he said, " I promised my father"...it was heartbreaking to hear that...we love you Chael ❤🙏
@kingjappyjoe420 Ariel a good friend
It touched my heart
Heart breaking indeed.
To understand better Cheal's emotional state: he promised his father before he passed away that he would win a title in an MMA promotion. He attempted it in the UFC and in WEC without having success, and unfortunately his unsuccessful last attempt was in Belator 222. You can imagine the heavy emotion that he is going through thinking of his father and the promise he made to him...
Cheal, there's nothing to be ashamed or unhappy with your MMA career, I'm sure your father would be very proud of you and for the fact that you always put everything on the line and did you very best (there's really nothing more one can expect from another).
Chin up (especially now that you are not competing anymore ;)) and be proud of yourself! 💪
@@JustIceForSake to be fair, he would have won the middleweight title at WEC but his opponent missed weight. I still dont get why he did not get the belt, when he was the one that made weight and won the fight. Champ of hearts💪
He really did win the WEC Title
As a father it wouldn’t take a belt to be proud of old Chael P. Legend.
Absolutely he didnt let him down he just feels he broke a promise and its really sad but I'm sure his dad would be so proud of him.
@@NicolaMaxwell He did win the belt, the WEC belt, but it wasn't handed to him because his opponent missed weight (who gave him the belt anyway)
@@Dennell_Mount_and_Blade i know buddy. Hes the champ 💪🏻
Well done Ariel, I’d imagine upon noticing how choked up Chael was getting he felt that moving on to talking about his kids would help.
EXACTLY. PEOPLE are saying why would Ariel would bring up that they saw him lose. Ariel knew how to segue to something else that would cheer Chael up. HIS KIDS.
I agree, sometimes Ariel irritates me but that was a very classy thing to do for Chael.
That was so incredibly respectful
@Scott Beck exactly Ariel is an old school reporter. He will asks questions that no one else is willing to ask, and through that he bares a lot of risk to bring us the information
@@cinemaster9012 he's very good at what he do
Ariel deserves more praise for his professionalism and class throughout this interview
Yes. I've always loved Ariel
@@mooreuproar2139 i hate ariel but he was a1 for this interview.
@@aaronjackson9603
He can poke sometimes but despite having my own issues with journalists, I think he's got a good heart and genuinely loves the mma world.
@@aaronjackson9603 how can you hate someone you don't know?
he'a very good at his job
Absolute gent to this sport. Thank you Chael.

@Stolen From Africa Quit being race baiting bitch kid
Yael?
One of my all time favorite fighters. Gonna miss him. Congrats on a great career Chael.
he's got a podcast you an still get your fill of uncle chael
Losing half his fights is not a great career.
Charismatic Lemon Shut the fuck up and stick to making shitty TH-cam profiles. “Charismatic Lemon” ...geez you’re a loser
My god, when he choked up speaking about his dad, I felt that deep in my bones. We all love you Chael. It has been an honor to watch you compete.
MartonFitness well said!
“What took you so long?” 😂 you’ll never hear a fighter say that. Long live the king 👑
Hail to the chief!
" I retired 4 minutes ago" xD
he has to be the humblest fighter I've seen. he always takes responsibility for his shortcomings, and recognize the good in others.
Brutally honest
3:02 more truthful words have never been spoken.
I don't get this whole thing he's lost so what's with the "undefeated, undisputed" thing thanks! X
@@sonnyblagrove1778 because he is undefeated and undisputed. Never lost a fight, a round or a minute. CHAEL 'THE GOAT' SONNEN
@@sonnyblagrove1778 jokes aside, that's like this funny gimmick he carries around for the purposes of hyping a fight, getting the attention of everyone etc. Clearly, he got you thinking, so that's something, right?
@@sonnyblagrove1778 mentally undefeated
The best ever is Chael P Sonnon. Giving every other fighter a chance by retiring. What a class act
Karma Baldwin every fighter from middle weight to heavy weight all just breathed a big sigh of relief!
You became a Champ in my book Chael. Your father would be proud.
Chael, you did become a champion when you beat Paulo Filho at WEC 36. It was supposed to be a title fight but Filho missed weight. And you still beat him. You are an MMA champ, bro. Good luck with the next phase of your life.
@Jonathan Soko
The only paulo people know is paulo costa. Who tf is paulo fillo??
No one cares that Chael beat some bum
@Jonathan Soko I'm a huge Anderson Silva fan, but there's no arguing Chael beat the hell out of him for the better part of 5 rounds when Anderson was untouchable. Chael promised his father he would be a champion. He fought like a champion and for all intents and purposes was and is a champion, regardless of a belt or not. Chael commentated my fight at the Roseland in 2006, for anyone interested check it out on my channel. Chael is a super solid dude.
@Jonathan Soko
Casual
@@metaldude198 in the UFC a champion can still be crowned if he himself made weight. Wec is different rules?
The RARE peak behind the curtain. Thanks for the memories chael, the original bad guy, gangster from west linn
I still love how he pummeled Anderson Silva for four and a half rounds.
Thanks Chael - you're a badass.
Steroids
@@nicklion you make it sound like steroids give you skills. Brazilians are known for using. So sit tf down boy
@@cheetoyeeto1232 yo everybody uses man. People will do anything to get ahead in the fight game
@@nicklion exactly what Silva was on every fight in his life
My faviorte fight. Except the ending of corse
I can say with 100% confidence, Chaels father would definitely be proud of the son he raised, and that’s one more for the Bad Guy
When Chael talked about his father, my god... Thank you for the fights. They were amazing.
I'm sad but I'm sure his dad would be so proud
I absolutely always appreciate Chael's honesty. A lot to be learned from this man right here. Great competitor.
Yeah the undefeated never champ.... so honest. Good riddance to the arrogant trash....
Hes a cheater, you scrub
Hell yeah his face competed with Machidas knees, twice.
Chael is cool af but he bullshits constantly.
All the best Chael. Your dad would be proud... Much love to the gangster of the mean streets of West Linn Oregon!! Cheers 👍👍
Something not a lot of people may have noticed. When chael was literally on the brink of crying Ariel knew chael wouldn’t want to be seen like that and his charm in the public light must be maintained so Ariel directed Chaels attention to the sole focus of absolute happiness, his kids. Slick move outta nowhere with no relevance and Ariel did it to save the emotions of his friend.
Yeah, that was a *real* classy way to lighten up the situation by Ariel, I agree.
20 seconds from a UFC World Championship. Snatched from his grasp; utterly heartbreaking.
I remember it, but come on, last 20 seconds?
@@TheEnvelopeOZ sorry. 90 seconds
Jon Jones. Head butt to the toe broke him
If he gets to the end of the round against Jones, he wins by tko too.
@@manny4mayor lay' crack pipe down
A single tear ran down my face watching this😢 thank you for everything, Chael!
He will be remembered as the single most articulate MMA fighter of all time.
Dominick Cruz has that title bub 😏
Carlos Condit, Rory McDonald?
Sukhdev Sohal Year 12 carlos been thru it all, were only human not invincible. Certainly not the same fighter, losing to people he shouldn't be losing to. Always the best sign of being past your prime
Lol people who think dominick Cruz is well speaken on the level as chael are people with low IQ
Carlos Flores not really Cruz is amazing by far the best at reading a fight as it’s happening. Also amazing at talking to his opponents pre an post fight same as chael.. but I’ve never heard him really talk about the behind the scenes politics of the fight business which chael excels at. Possibly cause he doesn’t put the effort into thinking about that stuff. It’s close but I’d give it to chael
Undefeated, Undisputed, truly the Goat 🐐 congrats on a hell of a career uncle Chael🔥
Only man to lose his last fight but retire undefeated. Uncle Chael thank you
KaiserViking no idea what you’re talking about, he’s the best to ever fight and he still holds a perfect undefeated record
Chael P. Sonnen (R) - The smartest man in the sport.
@@RodGrom yea but....they never knocked him down ray.....they never knocked him down.
@@orcajr.5843 Yea but he still fucking lost dumbass so he cant be undefeated
Damn. Chael was cracking about to cry talking about his promise for his father.
Ariel did a fantastic job by seeing that and asking Chael about his own kids. That should true professionalism and love for the American Gangster.
He had to stop himself mid sentence to not cry, that was nuts.... a real sportsman. Too bad he didn't beat Silva in his prime that would have been epic even if Silva mauled him in the rematch at least his promise would have come true.
@@alphazoomii9408 Was that not the most forgotten, biggest rivalry in MMA history? How can one ever forget that first fight, Chael constantly berating Anderson for the rematch.
How did Chael not win that first fight? A bloody triangle... AHHHH man...
Have you lost your dad? Mine had a heart attack and died in front of me. I crack up every time someone brings his name up.
@@TheEnvelopeOZ All he did was have to get up and he won..... I was pissed.
When he mentioned his father and teared up i really wanted to give my uncle chael a hug
Throat lumps! The game needs u outside the cage now chael. Your dad would be proud.

Abdul • seems like everyone in your eyes is great, 18 losses 1 draw and you think this guy is something special 😂.
Chael your dad would be more than proud to call his son ! Your a champion at heart and a champion in our hearts. That's the bad guy!
Yeah the guy had major balls
No matter how many times I watch it... I will ALWAYS cry! Such a legend! Nothing but love for ya Uncle Chael!
I actually teared up watching this. True gentleman
Frank Lucus doesn't cry. You must be an imposter.
Chael Sonnen is still. The Man. The Myth. The Legend. And has been my favorite fighter since I was a kid. Will be missed.. The Bad Guy💪
Undefeated and Undisputed!
River Peters anyone retiring on a loss should be ashamed.
@@i8-2much95 I guess Mike Tyson should be ashamed because some troll said that its shameful to retire when you lose. Only few people get to retire on top, Chael kept fighting until he was old and for that he deserves all the respect.
@@i8-2much95 Well get your ass in there and show everyone perfection.
Chael has me in tears, I never thought I'd like a fighter as much as chael he's truly a legend, my favourite fighter and TV personality. Still undefeated and undisputed in my eyes, I think he's dad would be damn proud of him
I hate to see him go but I'm glad it's on his terms.
Yeah you're right, atleast he made the decision himself

Retired still undeafeated and undisputed. Respect
how he is undefeated n undisputed ?? explain
Janjan Jami You just don’t get it my son.... You just don’t get it
I will forever remember that Silva fight when he got SOOOOOOOOOOOO damn close!!
Derik Oberholzer close? There is no such thing as getting close to a win. Either you win, draw or lose and in his case he is used to losing.
@@i8-2much95 You're replying to every comment and just hating on Chael. If you don't like Chael don't click on his videos and get a life
Artem The GOAT I am on his video because he just lost again, nothing new. The guy is a dick, foul mouthed bias piece of shit, he loves dishing out but when he gets into the octagon he gets knocked out.
@@i8-2much95 Hate it or love it, that's what promoted the fights. Even after all the trash talk he still had respect for everyone he fought against.
Yeah he's the only man to do that to Anderson in his prime.
RESPECT TO YOU MR. SONNEN! May have lost that fight but definitely a winner in life.
You respect the time he was indicted on real estate fraud while running for Gov of his state and found Guilty? Or when he got popped for steroids while in the UFC and was suspended?
@@Slaprox gotta break a few eggs man
Everytime Chael talks about his dad he almost cries, and everytime I cry my eyes out. Thank you Chael.

jerry cruz All true, yet he has found some success In bellator, hell he even kinda boxed up rampage In their fight. If you don’t find any of his trash talk entertaining or any of his fights exiting then don’t watch him I suppose. I don’t see why any of those reasons are cause for me not to celebrate his interesting career though
Bryant R He definitely could’ve hung it up earlier but yeah, I am gutted. I love chael and his career has been interesting to say the least. I think he’ll be missed among competitors even if some of his performances were lacklustre
jerry cruz I don’t believe I’m singing his praises as the greatest of all time I just think that he has retired and instead of dwelling on what he didn’t do I’m gonna focus on positive aspects of his career
