Fig guna want that rematch. He's killing himself to get to 125 for a reason. He wants to b Champ at 125 not top ten at 135. Some of the guys at 135 would smoke him.
@@anthonyhertlein4629 not necessarily. some guys move up and look better than ever when they're not struggling so hard to make weight. he could move up and be stronger, faster, have better cardio. i never much liked figgy so i don't much care what he does, but i think he could do better at 135, moreno looks like he'll beat him even if he is at his best now, and it seems unlikely he can continue to make 125 and still be at his best, those weight cuts will probably just continue to get worse.
Chael you should bring back fan questions, I personally loved those vids and Im sure a bunch of us as your followers are wanting to pick your brain about a lot of MMA and beyond
I actually think Cody might do better at 145 then 125. The cut to flyweight might take too much out of him. If he works on his defense his speed could help him have success at 145
Figgy has once again blamed sickness and weight cut issues for his poor performance....not cool. Just accept the loss and build back up to challenge again.
To be fair, I do buy that he feels like shit, since he cuts down from 170 to 125, which is fckn insane. But then again, why does he compete at that weightclass, if he always feels like shit there? 🤣
i can't stand figgy, and i really wanted moreno to win, but it was obvious as hell that figgy was not at his best in that 2nd fight. we all knew that his weight cut could always be an issue when he cuts so much weight, and it clearly was in that fight. i still think moreno looked amazing and would have won anyhow, it just would have been far more exciting. he should just quit trying so hard to be a weight bully and just move up to 135. even at his best he likely won't beat moreno and odds are he won't be able to continue to cut that much weight and still be at his best. his best bet is to just move up, he'd probably still have a size and power advantage over most guys at 135, while not struggling as much to make weight.
Chael should really get into managing/promoting fighters. He really does give honest, transparent, and intelligent advice. You know he could talk the sh*t needed to get his fighters fights, and he has a positive relationship with all the organizations. He'd never had any Brazilian clients though!
politicians are nothing but actors. they pretend to be divided into a right and left while actually working together to keep the people dumbed down and under control. their fake division causes real division among the people, which makes it easier to manipulate and control us. i just don't see how so many people still fall for their act. it's a one party dictatorship disguised as a 2 party system to give the people an illusion of power over who rules over them. your vote doesn't decide anything, and even if it did all of these politicians get their scripts and orders from the same place, so it wouldn't matter in the slightest. they have the masses under complete mind control, they fake terrorist attacks and virus outbreaks to fool them into voluntarily surrendering their rights. their next fake disaster, a fake meteor headed for earth or some equally absurd bs will be coming in a few years, and as always, the solution will be to surrender yet more of our freedom to them. such s simple pattern yet they have most people too dumbed down to see it.
Fighters shouldn't be allowed to use the "I had an off day" excuse. That's not an injury, that's not a sickness, that's not an excuse. Your job is to get ALL ASPECTS of yourself ready for the fight, if you're having an 'off' day for no reason other than having an 'off' day - you haven't done the mental preparation that you need to be doing as a fighter JUST like the physical preparation. YOU CAN HAVE off days, but you can't use that as an excuse because you allowed your mind to be off.
I agree. I mean fig post fight said he wanted to fight in 4 months, but he never mentioned the trilogy. He just said fight. 135 should be his next step.
I heard Figi walks around at 165.. and that he cuts weight to get into training camps to around 150 and then cuts to 125.. he’s got to move up before he ends up with long term damage.. That’s nearly 25% of his walk around weight. California will ban you from a weight class for cutting more than 13%. (Paulo Costa got banned from 185 in Cali, weighing 213 against Yoel)
Thank you Chael, I've been going on and on about how that was seemingly one of the most crucial weight cuts I've ever seen.Davidson look really defeated and then broke down in tears rite after he made weight. He couldn't get that loose snapping pop you get when you're peeking on your best pro level for a fight.It looked that way to me like he was off winging his punches and just not rite.Ide love to see him at 135.
It’s pretty true, Figgy either gets the Trilogy, or he has to move up. Who’s he gonna fight at 125? Only one is Askarov, and he’s tied up with Perez. Already murdered Joe twice, subbed Perez, dominated Pantoja. Could get Royval or Kara France, but they need to build up. Smarter just to get in the mix with the 135ers if you don’t get the championship fight
Well said. In my opinion, the UFC needs to create the 165lb. Division for similar reasons. How many 155'ers walk around at ~170lbs +? Cutting 10lbs would be a lot easier than 20. It would also give more fighters an opportunity to fight in both division's and would give the match maker's a larger pool to choose from. Lastly, the 155lb division will have to wait out Machechev like they did Khabib once he becomes champ. A 165lb Division will give they them an alternative. Great video thank you!
Before: the dehydration isn't gonna be a factor. He's going to DOMINATE Moreno. After: the weight cut is killing him he needs to move up. Moreno has his number.
125 has never been dull. Some of the best talent since its inception but DJ made it look like they were scrubs. Then one person said 125 was lame and people kept repeating it.
They need water hydration tests . We won’t have anymore weight cutting issues period. Won’t have lhws fighting at middleweight and middleweights fighting at welterweight
This argument makes no sense. Moreno is 2 inches taller than him (5'7") and has 2 inch longer reach (70"). Sean O'malley (135lbs) is 6 inches taller (5'11") and has a 72 reach. He needs to loose muscle mass and do cardio, not move up a weight division.
@@CGAR_420 The point is he’s not the 1st & only person cutting way too much weight, and yeah I believe if you can’t make weight you go up.. that being said the system is already so broken at this point & it doesn’t look like the commissions are ever gonna fix it. Volkanovski would fight at 155 if he wasn’t “5’6 stretched out” he’s even said he was 200lbs at one time before mma with his soccer/rugby or whatever.. And when you look at Frankie Edgar he is the PERFECT example of a small man that FOUGHT AT HIS WEIGHT. He’s went down 2 whole weight classes due to all the bs. And he’s a wrestler, so can’t blame all wrestlers, it’s individuals. And I’m not saying that Frankie was ever a true lightweight, but I’d much rather guys with his Attitude, and honorable way of competing, then some 6’3/200lb man cutting to 135.
@@Okie1122 I agree the weight cutting shit is stupid More fighters have died cutting weight than actually fighting Tired of hearing the commentators "he's slowing down, this was a rough weight cut" in the 2nd round They need to have a hydration requirement or weigh in same day of fight. Fighters who cut 30+ pounds would not be willing to go from scale to octagon. That day to rehydrate is crucial to keeping this bullshit going
I am a bit skeptical about this "new coat of paint" theory with Weidman and Rockhold as counterpoints, but looking at Chael's record at LHW maybe he's right. 4 wins 4 losses against Jones and 7 past-prime legends, himself also being past-prime at some point there. Tito tapped. Going up in weight is not for everyone, even former MW champs evidently.
Chael what would it take to get a autographed picture or anything with your autograph , I’m a long time fan of yours from your fighting days to now ! I’m not asking for a handout that’s not the person I am I’d pay you for your autograph , thanks -Jared
I disagree with the Cody Garbs experiment. Askar Askarov has more than proven himself and is undefeated except for one fight...a draw with Moreno. I like that fight for Moreno next and while he waits let's make Cody prove that he can look good against a guy at 125. I think Joseph Benavidez would be a solid fight even though both guys are coming off of rough losses. JB can still fight. Put those two fights on the same card and run from there.
Figueiredo is a fucking badass who weightcuts too much probably. He is kind of in the middle of two divisions like many, but sadly his metabolism is just too much on the edge for his current weight class. Tha fact that is stay there is imho on the brave side, but he would have more merit winning in the next division and he is definitely capable. The guy is one of the best.
We should have another weight class in between 185 and 205 and chael would have seen even more success I believe. Also big difference between 185 to 205 vs 125 to 135. Just saying
Your talking like the first fight wasn't competitive. Figerado won that fight if he didn't have a point taken away. So does he not deserve the rematch on that?
Ya but he did get the point taken away, so he didn't win, he kicked him in the nuts and poked him in the eye...that's like saying if Moreno didn't hurt his arm in the 4th round he would have won, but he did. Also, he got finished, choked out, way different then a decision. Not a moment of that fight was fig in control.
Moreno is 27, Figueiredo is 33, he doesn't have time to wait out Brandon, better to go to 135 and stop killing himself with weight cuts. He'd be a tough out for anyone in the top 5 of bantamweight: Sterling, Yan, Sandhagen, Font, Aldo...
Still can’t believe Chael not only picked Moreno but said he wouldn’t lose one second of one round! STILL UNDEFEATED

Figgy vs font for the winner of tj or sandhagen vs yan
Chael "I'm hearing this" Sonnen
You read it here; I think Nick is coming back a lightweight
The Weight cuts are killing him
I think he should stay at 125. It's like Khabib at 155. Khabib would not be competitive at 170. Neither would Fig at 135.
Chael should move to bantamweight
Figgy vrs cruz would be dope
a long winded setup to simply state that garbrandt should challenge for the 125 strap
If you're not the champ, you're not the champ.
I wish the Welterweights would get this in their head.
yeah but he was feeling unwell guys ...
From cutting weight lol
I deff weigj2 less now than 2 years ago.....but i also have a math problem......sry i mean meth problme.....lol
135 definitely the division for him 👍
Figgy deserves the rubber match.
Figgy gets smoked at 135 that's why he cuts all that weight cuz he knows 135 he gets knocked the f*** out
two words uncle Chael, Edson Barboza.
