Yes! I'm so keen to start following wrestling but it's almost impossible in the UK. Watching the Olympics there was zero coverage of it and no information of when any of the matches were even going to take place, so I couldn't even try and find my own stream.
Love Jordan ever since first hearing his story on Joe Rogan. What a story and comeback! Even though I’m sure he’d love another Olympic Gold but still something he should be very proud of. Great work Jordan from an Aussie!
I’m not sure how we keep forgetting about Bruce Baumgartner - 9 x World medals and 4 x Olympic medals - 3 world golds and 2 Olympic golds. Pretty relevant, I’d say.
Sadulev was wrestler of year, him and Taylor were the only Olympic Champs to even risk defending their status at Worlds and Sadulev won American wrestler of the year I would also like to submit to you: Thomas Gillman
Really means nothing considering Jordan was a later bloomer basically his senior collegiate career but really didn't stand out until his senior freestyle career
My American brother, you are hands-down, no close second, my favorite person to listen to in all of commentating! Not just sports. Highly intelligent. Incredibly entertaining. Full of energy. And always bring a great perspective.
I don't know the Wrestling-terms, but I remember those practice vids you posted, and Jordan was going with that juggernaut, and he eventually closed Jordan out. But, damn, Jordan's speed and sprawl was SICK! and he seems like such a cool kid 👍 Happy for him! 🇺🇲
I only know about wrestling from Chael for the most part, but I think what further cements it is that Jordan creates moves, he does things nobody has seen before or understands. That kind of elevation makes you a serious contender for best of your time.
I love how Chael is so humble to exclude his own name from the top three to allow for another to take that spot. Wouldn't be much of a competition anyways.
Jordan Burroughs is the College & Olympic wrestling 🐐 to me. He really seems like a nice, caring, & gentle guy too. I bet he’d cry if he had a pet that was giving birth.
Feel like he didn't really put much pressure on nokhodi, he knew he gonna win and that tournament was nokhodi's first international appearance. Props to both and proud of Nokhodi for making it to the final
I dont think he went through trials without getting taken down. I thought Ringer hit him with his fireman’s style dump for 4 in the first of the two matches he had with him in the best of 3 matches. I might be wrong but just off the top of my head I thought I remembered Ringer hitting him feet to back early in one of the matches. I didn’t go back and watch the match so I could possibly be wrong. Someone in the know let me know if I’m right
I thought the same thing too bad he didnt mention it as it made Jordan’s win even more impressive as that was a huge point swing and he stone walled him from there.
2/3 through the video and chael hasn't brought up that Jordan tore his CALF in the trials against derringer and won the world's with a torn freaking calf lol
Standards Chael, standards. Some of us drink Bulleit. Some of us drink Springbank. Some go for Johnny Blue, some of us KNOW to drink Eagle Rare. Provenance.
Chael : there's only 2,the argument is batman vs superman.a argument between 2. Also Chael: when discussing the greatest with anyone who knows anything the argument is between these 3 guys!! Just these 3 Me: ok,right again chael
John Smith is the best american wrestler he has 2 olympics golds and 4 world championships but buvasair satieve is the best freestyle wrestler ever 3olympic golds 6 world championships 6 european championships. Common chael no other wrestler in free style history has 3 oly golds. No amercan has 6 world championships. Sudalev has already surpassed jordan at 25yrs old 2 oly golds 5 world championships.
Right? That’s what I was thinking, Dan gable set the approach for American wrestling that we still use where conditioning is king, it’s super hard to deny him especially in conjunction with his resume
Oh by the way we talking superheroes? Gotta go with justice league. Okay great but which one? America, international, unlimited, or evan JSA. Now Batman is there somewhere.....what's that you wanna talk about the outsiders? Oh yeah anybody named Jordan is the best.
I know nothing about wrestling and sat here for this whole speech. I also agree with you wholeheartedly Uncle Chael.
Mark
Im right there with you!
Me three
You and him and you and I boths
You and Askren should do a wrestling podcast. It's a difficult sport to penetrate as a viewer when your county doesn't have a culture for it.
This would blow up

@@anonymoususer2634 nah it wouldn't take much time, like 15 minutes extra while he sits down to film these mma opinion pieces
“My crowning moment is his worst”. That puts in perspective how insanely amazing JB’s career has been. 🇺🇸✌🏽
Love Jordan ever since first hearing his story on Joe Rogan. What a story and comeback! Even though I’m sure he’d love another Olympic Gold but still something he should be very proud of. Great work Jordan from an Aussie!
Me too
Jordan Burroughs never kicked the ass of the middleweight MMA GOAT and at his peak at champion for 4.5 rounds.
The longest and most impactful 4.5 rounds in UFC history. Perhaps in MMA history. Undefeated. Didn't tap.
Still have no idea how he did that. Also amazed that he lost.
The only fighter that doesn't bleed & doesn't get tired
I’m not sure how we keep forgetting about Bruce Baumgartner - 9 x World medals and 4 x Olympic medals - 3 world golds and 2 Olympic golds. Pretty relevant, I’d say.
thank you for shouting out the king! deserves so much praise!
Chael sonnen is doing TH-cam right!
Thank you for covering this Chael!!!
Love seeing chael covering wrestling keep it up love to hear what’s up with it
I know shit about wrestling besides mma applications and wrestlers who come to mma and it's great to learn about our wrestling.
Pure'
Sadulev was wrestler of year, him and Taylor were the only Olympic Champs to even risk defending their status at Worlds and Sadulev won
American wrestler of the year I would also like to submit to you: Thomas Gillman
Abdulrashid Sadulaev right? What an apt nickname. The Russian tank
Mensah Stock defended too.
I agree an i wished he would went head to head with the guy from jpn an definitely run it back with the guy from russia congrats gilman!
Always blows me away that Justin Gaethje wrestled him to a really close match (7-4) and Jordan lost his front teeth against him in that same match.
Really means nothing considering Jordan was a later bloomer basically his senior collegiate career but really didn't stand out until his senior freestyle career
I haven't seen the match but you could win a wrestling match 7-4 and dominate the entire time.
@@JuanGonzalez-cl4md Got a take down and 2 escapes, he did well. Knocked out 2 of his teeth and almost broke his jaw.
@@t-bone8333 didn’t stand out? Jb was the ncaa champ and hodge trophy winner, what you smoking?
@@centralparkpiper can you not read... Senior year... What prior???
My American brother, you are hands-down, no close second, my favorite person to listen to in all of commentating! Not just sports. Highly intelligent. Incredibly entertaining. Full of energy. And always bring a great perspective.
Waiting for Chael to start "The Bad Guy" awards. The trophy is a little golden statue of Chael.
Chael you are a living legend. 🙏
I don't know the Wrestling-terms, but I remember those practice vids you posted, and Jordan was going with that juggernaut, and he eventually closed Jordan out. But, damn, Jordan's speed and sprawl was SICK! and he seems like such a cool kid 👍 Happy for him! 🇺🇲
I love when Chael talks wrestling keep this coming.
I’m just commenting to get this more exposure to strengthen Uncle Chael’s argument.
My usual stance on wrestling: I can't let you get close
My view when Uncle Chael covers wrestling: OK, great!
GIVE BURROUGHS HIS DUE
Whoa Chael i believe you just answered what lots of us are thinking🤯 and I'm not gonna argue with that.
Man. What an accomplishment.
Uncle Chael shouting out uncle Cael, beautiful.
Very well articulated, Chael…
I’ve become a big fan of American wrestling since listening to this channel. ✊🏽
Jordan making his MMA debut at Rumble at the Roseland. That would be swell.
It sure would!! 💪
I love that this guy still talks wrestling. And it’s great to watch
Chael asked what the score was- I said "Zero" out loud. Still Undefeated and Undisputed
I dont watch Wrestling much but would love to listen to more content like this!
MORE WRESTLING CONTENT!!!! Yay
"my best moment it's his worst" that really hit hard uncle Chael 😔
How about Bruce Baum?
Let’s not forget Cael is killing it as a coach as well.
I only know about wrestling from Chael for the most part, but I think what further cements it is that Jordan creates moves, he does things nobody has seen before or understands. That kind of elevation makes you a serious contender for best of your time.
I love JB, grew up near Sanderson. But aren’t we forgetting Dan Gable……
It's midnight and I've got insomnia. Prescription - Chael talking wrestling.
I was actually really stoked for Kyle when he finally beat Jordan.
Racist.
@@sleepercell1679 das races
Stop trolling “sleeper cell”
@@sleepercell1679
Are you “race baiting” me??
How about Dan Gable
I love how Chael is so humble to exclude his own name from the top three to allow for another to take that spot. Wouldn't be much of a competition anyways.
Jordan Burroughs is the College & Olympic wrestling 🐐 to me.
He really seems like a nice, caring, & gentle guy too. I bet he’d cry if he had a pet that was giving birth.
Chael is the goat of mma and Olympics and boxing that's all.
Chael, did you get to the superstore yet?
Dan gable?
More USA wrestling talk please
Fix's run to the finals amount 41-0 in pts!!! Yes he didn't win the final match but worth mentioning
I'll tune in to Chael talking about wrestling any day every day.
But not his MMA anymore!
His wrestling knowledge I can learn from.
No Dan Gable appreciation Chael??
Stevenson? Sure
He's talking about American wrestling, that's why karelin isn't mentioned.... But wtf why did he not even say Dan Gable smh
Feel like he didn't really put much pressure on nokhodi, he knew he gonna win and that tournament was nokhodi's first international appearance. Props to both and proud of Nokhodi for making it to the final
No one was saying Jordan Burroughs is too small for 79 come on chael Jordan is huge
Where would you rank Dan Gable?
No love for Dake uncle chael?
Dake has the wrong skin color
Feels good to be a wrestling fan RN, taylor vs yazdani , sadualev vs snyder , burroghs kicking ass, oh yeah
Jordan is a true champion
Cael Sanderson is not in John Smith or Jordan Burroughs class. Senior level Freestyle wrestling is the pros. NCAA is the amateurs.
Don’t forget Dan Gable.
What happened to Dan gable?
What about Dan gable?
I believe that Spencer Lee will be in this conversation in 5 years? What say you sir?
Where does Ben Askren fit into Uncle Chael’s all-time wrestler list?
Thought he just lost trials? Crazy he changed weight classes. Definitely in 🐐 conversation.
I can listen to you talk my ear off about American wrestling
Tito tapped!!!!!!!!!
I dont think he went through trials without getting taken down. I thought Ringer hit him with his fireman’s style dump for 4 in the first of the two matches he had with him in the best of 3 matches. I might be wrong but just off the top of my head I thought I remembered Ringer hitting him feet to back early in one of the matches. I didn’t go back and watch the match so I could possibly be wrong. Someone in the know let me know if I’m right
What about Jon Jones?
Olympic Alternate = Champion 100%
He looked like his 2015 self, the year when JB was the most dominant
No Gable?
Chael Sonnen just pissed off Marvel Fanboys
Hakuhō Shō is the GOAT.
Where's that Kyle snyder video?
All due respect Chael - Derringer did get a takedown and turn on that dump in the Trials.
I thought the same thing too bad he didnt mention it as it made Jordan’s win even more impressive as that was a huge point swing and he stone walled him from there.
@@desmundlighten3603 completely shut him down. That was the only error he made in the trials and he looked even better at Worlds. The guy is a GOAT.
Chael - Nobody scores on him - Alex - What about when I put him on his back?
2/3 through the video and chael hasn't brought up that Jordan tore his CALF in the trials against derringer and won the world's with a torn freaking calf lol
Facts
He had no competition this time.
Standards Chael, standards. Some of us drink Bulleit. Some of us drink Springbank. Some go for Johnny Blue, some of us KNOW to drink Eagle Rare. Provenance.
What about cary kolat he’s amazing !!
Dan Gable??
Knew Dake was going to take Jordan eventually.
Same
Same
Same
Don’t matter any longer since JB won Worlds again and this time at 79kg. JB already made his mark at 74kg and didn’t fade away once Dake beat him.
@@parawill7074 I’m a fan of both!
Chael : there's only 2,the argument is batman vs superman.a argument between 2.
Also Chael: when discussing the greatest with anyone who knows anything the argument is between these 3 guys!! Just these 3
Me: ok,right again chael
Chael Is a two time UFC champion. You know being the alternate means a lot to this red blooded American
Chael you Tripping. Iron Man beats Batman easy.
Where’s WUG?
Bruce Baumgartner should be in discussion and as well Dan gable
1v1 Burroughs surely is the GOAT. Please explain why I'm wrong.
Heads up I'm a moron Englishman with no knowledge of wrestling
John Smith is the best american wrestler he has 2 olympics golds and 4 world championships but buvasair satieve is the best freestyle wrestler ever 3olympic golds 6 world championships 6 european championships. Common chael no other wrestler in free style history has 3 oly golds. No amercan has 6 world championships. Sudalev has already surpassed jordan at 25yrs old 2 oly golds 5 world championships.
It says no views with 9 comments and 15 likes🤦♂️
Why didn't he make it as his weight ? I don't follow wrestling really so I'm confused here
I think if Cael had more of a successful international career, he would be the GOAT. I think it’s Burroughs
I really hope he dips his feet in a smaller promotion first so he can have a feel if this is something he's interested in doing
In place of every
Kyle dake is impressive af in wrestling
Adaline Grey
Seriously, Dan Gable not in the convo? You could argue he's not the most accomplished wrestler but no way he's not the best.
Right? That’s what I was thinking, Dan gable set the approach for American wrestling that we still use where conditioning is king, it’s super hard to deny him especially in conjunction with his resume
First One here! And love it when this dude talks wrestling…
.4 sure Jb goat status
Jordan in mma please
He had to move to 79kg to avoid Dake at 74kg.
Sadulaev is the wrestler of the year. I respect Burroughs for his resolve. But Sadulaev was just too much. C'mon, Uncle Chael, show Sadulaev respect.
7:29 one loss in his career. No points scored in FREESTYLE! Dan Gable.
Oh by the way we talking superheroes? Gotta go with justice league. Okay great but which one? America, international, unlimited, or evan JSA.
Now Batman is there somewhere.....what's that you wanna talk about the outsiders?
Oh yeah anybody named Jordan is the best.
👑
No one would care without GABLE ...
