@@shenanigans874 They say a man with nothing has nothing to lose. Chael Sonnen literally had nothing to lose but a maid (twice a week only) and a dad with a mere 100,000 paycheck.
This actually says a lot about Chael, he doesn’t come from some poverty stricken country, didn’t have a violent rough upbringing, wasn’t some super athlete that was groomed for greatness and he definitely could have chosen a much more comfortable career then cage fighting. Guy is just naturally a fearless individual who loves to fight.
The fact that the cops didn't do nothing on that criminal is something. This shows how early Uncle Chael struggles with life and why he is the Undisputed and Undefeated champion.
Dang I bet he has some really bad PTSD from that Gum rapper thing... I had a similar situation when I was about 8. When these real gangsters came to my house. Tried to get my mom to go to the house to rap her.and she had me go to get my father's gun Next thing I knew I had a whole car full of cholo's at gunpoint and my brother called the cops on me just as, he did 3 other times in our lives. For similar situations even 2 times when I saved this life with a pistol.. I'm not saying i'm a better m m a fighter than chel... But his gangster story failed to impress me at all.. I just hope he was joking.
@@bigtiddy1382I could only imagine how rough it would be to be like his neighbors had it. Having to share a mercedes like what the hell.... That would be my worst nightmare
I know how he feels…. Lot of people don’t understand the stress and pressure of living in a 10,000 sq ft home in West Linn Oregon, how’d you like having to use the rest room in an emergency and you have to quickly decide do you run up a flight of stairs to locate one of 3 restrooms or run down a 100’ hallway only to be confronted with having to choose between a full bath or half bath with only a Bidet! This is just one example But believe me there are many more. Often times many children raised in these environments are literally forced to eat home delivery meals 4-5 times a week.
Im sorry about this devistation, I really hope some humble man will reach out and help you poor "civilians" like master sonnenen. Ill keep you in prayer

Every once in a while i start to feel down in the dumps, so I come rewatch this interview where Chael reminds me of his horrific upbringing which instantly makes me appreciate all the blessings in my life :)
"Who gets to drive today " 😂😂😂😂😂 this had to be pre written and he def had help this is so perfect and the transitions , when he went to the gum wrapper and almost lost me then boom there was tears my dad didn't make 100k 😂😂😂😂 so great and he excited it flawlessly
Guy never lost a round in his entire career,undefeated and undisputed,thank god he came out without childhood drama after all this hard stuff he came through…it was really rough for him
I'm from West Linn too. rough place. I'm glad I escaped. it was hard though, some years I still struggle. I bought a boat and wanted a jetski but had to wait two months to be able to afford it.
I feel like a good portion of comedians wished they had his timing and confidence. While Schaub is trying to get there but most of his comedy is unintended like when he said Jon Africa.
Chael didn't even go into full detail about the hardships a person faces when living iWest Linn Oregon or "The WLO" as the natives call it. Even the environment itself is a major challenge. The weather is almost unbearable. It can reach lows as cold as 37F in the winter and highs as hot as 83F in the summer. Even today the average household income is only $159,721 Chael is truly an inspiration to have made it out of there and to have gone undefeated in his MMA career.
Had to drive through West Linn today to get to Beaverton. Witnessed a family there making due with a last generation Porsche Macan. The poverty is real.
Man reminds me of the time I watched a punk Jay walk right in front of my mom ....my mom man .... or the time my neighbor asked for a horse for her birthday she didn't get it she got a trip to Italy but no horse when I told my mom my mom fainted
He deserves a medal of some kind for keeping a dead serious look on his face the whole time. To me thats more impressive than any mma fight

I love how he pauses after “My neighbors were twins” leaving you to think that alone was the problem
Fr thats so traumatic😭
Lol yes
That’s exactly what I thought too.. after the pause I laughed uncontrollably. 😂😂
chael s character is so racist that it crossed my mind he was hating on those twins just for being twins. LMAO
"who gets to drive today?" Heartbreaking 😂
How he got tru it man he is one brave gangster
Literally the best fucking part😂
“Or barely made 100 grand”
He’s amazing lol
Could you just imagine? Back in the 50s, it was hard to get by on under 50 grand a year.
He is trying soo hard not to burst out in tears 😭
0:26-0:30🤣😭😭😭
Yeah if I were him I’d burst into tears because of remembering all the rough things he’s been through
How he overcame those dire circumstances and rough upbringing to become so successful I'll never know. It's really motivating stuff.
That’s how he stayed undefeated and remained undisputed. You can’t beat a man that’s already been broken

Chael chose a different career but got caught committing fraud. White collar gangster.

Ngannou must stop complaining about his "difficult" childhood after hearing all the sorrow Chael had to go through.
Losing 20 childhood friends to gang violence and prison is nothing compared to what Chael experienced. I can't believe I had the nerve to mention it
Did you ever find them after the gang violence?
As a suburban Oregonian from the same time period, I can vouch for these horrors.

My goodness....I feel for this man and his family. No 11 year old should ever witness such crimes. That must have really messed him up
Only a true gangster like him could survive something that terrible

One of the greatest actors in the history of ever.
The amount of people that believe this mofo is just too damn high.
Acting?

The gulp and look of holding back tears before Chael tells the stories is just brilliant.

Hard times make hard people. Undefeated, undisputed, never lost a round.
Omg at 0:28 seconds you can see the pain in his eyes as he pauses, takes a breath and relives his disturbing childhood trauma
Most people can't understand. Glad he's got the courage to speak his truth. He's been through hell and back. Hell of a story.
This is solid gold. No one beats Chael. No one.
Every once in a while i start to feel down in the dumps, so I come rewatch this interview where Chael reminds me of his horrific upbringing which instantly makes me appreciate all the blessings in my life :)
This makes me respect him even more
I hate he had such a hard life growing up
This is why I love Chael. His storytelling is insanely good and we all bit the bait on this interview. The mean streets of West Linn, Oregon lol
Undefeated, Undisputed, Never lost a round 🙏
Where the park playgrounds have nice mulch and every home has a landscape company, the slums of West Linn Oregon.
Tyson saw this and suddenly became grateful he grew up in the Catskills.. I wouldn't wish West Linn on my worst enemies.... What a nightmare.
Haha
I don't know how he can retell that horrific story without crying
I know that must of been hard for you to relive that, Chael. The trauma is palpable. Unimaginable stuff.
He needs to be in movies bro
I miss this, not only in MMA but in general. This much wit, real satire.
Creativity is out of this world!!!
No wonder he’s such a good fighter . To have to over come that adversity . Mad respect
I can’t imagine what it’s like to grow up on that side of the tracks
@@user-br1up5vw4h the grass isn’t always greener on the private golf course across the street
This is unbelievable.
In all seriousness, he has such a fantastic, wonderfully-self deprecating sense of humour.
I am from West Linn Oregon, and I can concur these streets change you 😢
He's the greatest!! Never lost a single round 💖
ummm, who else is here because this video is at the end of the stick season playlist on Noah Kahan's channel?? I love that it is here
Me lol
Wtf is this?
Literally same I'm so confused

This is a Real Fighter...in every moment in His Life
The acting in this monologue is superb.
This is easily my favorite Chael moment
When he said “Those dishes didn’t wash themselves!” I actually laughed out loud
A truly gripping and captivating story.
Real powerful stuff here
I would have never been able to hold my l̶a̶u̶g̶h̶ tears if I was the interviewer 😢
Chael is a better comedic actor than 99% of Hollywood…
why is this on the official Noah Kahan Stick sseason playlist???
fr I'm so confused 😭😭
No that's just u
His backstory is sadder than the Diaz brothers😔
nobody does it better.
when i go though hard shit in life i just play this video and i get filled with motivation
When he Appeared to get choked up for a second before telling the story I couldn’t stop laughing
That is a tough life. Takes crazy mentality to get out of there and make it to the highest level.
