Well This Answer my Question if Chael would ever promote something he would never use. And yes he will LOL I think it's funny. If you follow Chael at all you know he isn't smoking or putting anything in his lungs. I said to my GF there is know way Chael is putting that in is mouth and he never came close to smoking it. But it did make me laugh so for that I say thanks Chael
Arman has missed weight before, started problem with fighters, punched a fan, refused to fight for the title because 2 months wasn't enough time and now pulled out 1 day before. He's unprofessional, acts entitled and he's a risk. I dont blame Dana one bit.
He missed weight once when his opponent pulled out, he thought he wasn’t fighting, and then he got matched with Frevola because his opponent got pulled too. He then made weight seven straight times under his new nutritionist. He refused to fight on the amount of notice they gave him after the Oliveira fight, so what? He’s not entitled. Just the number one contender. And Mr “Entitled” just said he’ll fight his way back to the title shot even if he has to fight multiple times before getting to the title shot.
@@truperfection2479 2 months is not enough time for a young fighter in his prime? How old is Tom Aspinall? He fought for the title on short notice WITH a back injury. Arman agreed because he knows he messed up and so has no argument to defend himself.
@ It wasn’t 2 months. It was six weeks. Why should the number one contender in the division have to recover in that period of time from fighting and also have a camp? Everyone fights with injuries. The point is that Arman couldn’t move and was still trying to cut weight in the sauna while immobile. Not sure what else you want. Furthermore, what’s he supposed to do if the boss says you aren’t getting a title shot? What, argue with him and then Dana is gonna be like ok nvm you got the title shot? Doesn’t make sense does it.
@@truperfection2479 why a title shot on short notice, because he's been fighting for this most of his life so you take the opportunity when it comes.... see how you didn't respond to me about how he punched a fan, or how Aspinall fought for the title on short notice while injured, it's because you have no reasonable argument to make so there's nothing for you to say, Arman has no response because he messed up, now he'll be lucking if he gets a title shot end of the year or 2026. Strickland also fought for the title on short notice, who is also much older than Arman, a young prime fighter who is not willing to the risks, it is what it is. So let him wait then.
@@XBlack-oc6xt nope. you haven’t made a coherent point. He did punch a fan I have no argument there. But for some reason he has to take a fight on 6 weeks notice in your book (seems like it was smart because he still got a title shot right after). So there’s the “reasonable argument” for you. And Arman’s back was injured to the point he couldn’t move so how was he supposed to make weight or fight? Also, I already told you why Arman responded to Dana the way he did and now you’re just repeating “Arman has no response because he knows he messed up”. Once again because you didn’t understand, there’s no point in arguing with Dana. Did you get it now so you can respond to that point?
Yeah… Armans response of, “ i agree with Dana and will do what I need to do to earn my shot again”. That spoke volumes. He isn’t even trying to argue against it. Something is off for sure
Yea I’m sure when you know you pissed off Dana, the response that he is looking for from the fighter in question should be “no give me the title shot”. Arman knows Dana is pissed so he is agreeing to do what he wants. It doesn’t mean Dana is right. Nice try at detective work though
Dana also said Arman was not gonna return until next year. Now that's a weird one. You wouldn't get a year layoff even for missing weight. Seems like there was also some juice involved.
I think the real question is when did Arman know he wouldn’t be able to fight because I heard rumors about his injury more than a week out from the fight. If he knew he couldn’t go and waited to let the UFC know so he “didn’t lose his spot” that’s grounds for losing the fight. I also have the bias of thinking Oliveira is the most deserving title challenger.
The headline should be "DC wrestled Cael (NCAA 2001 Finals). Now he will wrestle Chael" in the TUF 33 final episode! 1 min match for charity......No weigh ins. Collegiate rules... On the mat circled by the fighters... (Or we could go one round boxing; worst case, 9 rounds of golf.. But the coaches gotta compete.)
You nailed it Chael! My initial thought was that he couldn't make weight so he most likely faked the injury instead. I'm sure him and his team weighed his options and found injury to be way more likely to be shown grace than failing to make "Championship Weight". Guarantee Dana saw through the b-s a mile away. Probably why he seemed frustrated and upset at the Post Fight Press Conference when it came to Arman. You truly are undefeated Chael! 💪💪
He’s had previous problems let’s not forget he literally coming off a suspension for hitting a fan and now there’s a rumor circulating that it’s possible he actually tested positive for PEDs and according to the current ufc rules they wouldn’t have to tell the public.. either way not a great look for him..
I read a rumour that Arman actually was sleeping with Nina drama the night of the weigh in and she spiked his drink with sleeping pills so he wouldn’t wake up the next day.
He candidly admitted that he doesn't mind if he's forced to win another fight before being granted another title shot. And this isn't a matchup with a lot of hype or fan anticipation, so it's not like people are clamoring to see it rebooked.
Heather and Hunter were in Armans house that night, they drove over so I am sure, they saw his weight. Arman himself said on Ariels show, that he only was 6 pounds of when he went to bed the night before and his lower back issues started. There is no way Dana would've agreed for anyone to pull out because of missed weight and if the fighter still does, we would've seen an entirely different Dana. This is the same thing that happened to charles and people who see dana once a week for 5 minutes on TV think they are experts and "read between the lines". Most of these guys cant even read the lines. In Danas shoes, even if it was not Armans fault at all, I would still be pissed, I planned a huge event and had unexpected last minute stress from hell, it sucks. But I think Dana is professional enough to cool down and make the best decision for the division and fans, and that imo is Arman Islam 2, rebooked. And I think if Arman can get a fight before that, he should take it regardless, his last fight was in April after all. And for the record, to think that a guy who has been working for this opportunity for the past 5 years and 8 months would give up without a very good reason, is baffling to me. Either those people are trolls or they have deeply rooted mental issues to make that kind of claim about someone, who is from a rich family and choose to step into the cage with the baddest people on the planet for a living. Just think about it. Head up Arman, you are a future Champ and every setback will just make you stronger
isn't 6lb pretty normal? I think that's in the normal range of lb's I've heard of. Heard of 8lb+ some people prefer to cut more weight the night before, some prefer to get it done in the morning so they can sleep better I believe.
This was the 2nd time Arman has chosen not to fight Islam for a title. The night he beat Charles he was offered one in the back, and he deferred the shot to Poirier. Chael himself told us these things
Oh I can’t wait to see 90 IQ comments here. Imagine being a UFC fighter trying to fight through a back injury to fight, then your back seizes up at the end of your weight cut and you are immobile, then you get trashed by your boss for not fighting. Then on top of that all the 90 IQ detectives decide to give their opinions. Arman has made weight consistently under his nutritionist (who has a stellar record in getting fighters to make weight like Vettori, Chimaev, Garbrandt). Even other nutritionists are on social media saying it can’t be that Arman couldn’t make weight because his nutritionist is world class and knows what he is doing. What’s done is done and I for one want Arman to fight for the title because he is the only opponent at 155 that Makachev doesn’t walk through. But no we can’t do that just to spite Arman. Using Dana’s reaction at the post fight press conference is laughable. The man is an asshole (remember he trashed Colby for choosing to have nose surgery over fighting and the list goes on and on and on). Even rampage spoke about that on the Jaxxon podcast and how Dana said the things he said about him not wanting to fight.
Arman said on rampage podcast that when he called he was overweight when he made the call, and he said he would’ve made weight but the time it was time but he couldn’t do his cardio like normal that day because of his back.
i think it has something to do with fighters cutting weight right up to the fight. its not safe. this way it gives them some time to recover before the fight.
@@Spacebird42 If they had to weigh in, say 2 hours before the fight, there would be no cutting weight. It would be stupid. They would go into the ring super weak and get destroyed. What they're doing now isn't safe and causes so many missed weights and dropped fights, not to mention fighters going in not at full strength.
INTELLIGENT fighters know when something feels off and it won't be their night, but TRUE fighters still make that walk regardless of how they feel about it.
Glad to see Alex Pereira not waiting around for Jon Jones and like a TRUE CHAMPION accepting a fight with the #1 contender !!! The UFC doesn't need guys that don't want to fight Jon's poor ego when he realizes the UFC will move on just as they have with other great fighters and he isn't any more special than the greats that came before him
Chael, it doesn't matter what he weighed, Arman came out and said that he could not move. I think the question is was he injured because in the same vein as the Conor pinky toe situation there is no evidence other than word of mouth that he was injured. I put it to you that he couldnt make weight. So yes he needs another win before the Islam fight is offered again
I think you’re kind of there, he has struggled with weight. They are going to move him up a weight class now, throw in a 2-3 fights before title, giving the opportunity to make a “revived” superstar. Thats what I would do.
Dana might be justified if it’s the 2nd time Tsarukyan has ducked the champ. Oh, this is the 2nd time Tsarukyan has ducked the champ, well then I finally agree with Dana.🤷🏻♂️
Okay, there’s gaslighting and there’s lighting gas on fire. Chael starts out with “we have to operate within the information we have”, and shows no hint of a smirk. This is the biggest mma gossip on the Internet. If there’s an innuendo to be followed, Sonnen is on its track. The National Enquirer of MMA wants us to operate within the information we have. Okey dokey.
He almost certainly failed to make weight. He fights very heavy for the weight class and if you’re not incredibly disciplined and focused it’s easy to miss weight, especially when a lot of his weight is muscle, which is far more difficult to rapidly cut when compared to fat (moderately feasible) or water weight (quite feasible)
Man I’m sorry but an ad basically every video has been the reason I’ve skipped over your videos many many times I hate to say it but fuck dude it’s the exact reason I pay for for premium so I don’t have to mess with ads lol. I wouldn’t mind one like in the middle or something but shit its first thing every single video and it’s like 15% of the video 💀 I know you gotta do something to cut even but shit is anyone even buying the freaking fume things 😂
Thank you for this video, I really wanted to hear your perspective on this whole situation. I kinda felt the same but I'm not an ex fighter, but Dana's on the hot seat so he can't just give him another shot right away....
NO No No don't make it about weight cause that was not the issue he was on the right weigh They arleady said it wasn't A weight issue come on Chael your A insider you know this shit. it had nothing to do with weight. It was his back he couldn't move. I have had Sciatic nerve myself U can't move never mind get in a fist fight. I had it so bad I couldn't even pick the phone up that was 2 inch from my hand. This stuff is no joke. How is a guy going to fight if he can't even move his arms or move to the side or anything. I feel for him. Its not like you have a choice if you can't move.
The way Arman see's it, he's 28, rich and in no hurry. The problem for Dana is that the guy will smoke his whole roster of light-weights outside of the Champion. So at the most, he can only delay the inevitable. Arman will one day become Champion.
In my opinion I only saw 4 potential guys being contenders currently. Moicano, pimplett, Hooker and Charles Oliveira. If all Arman needs is one fight and then back in line , I would choose pimplett. Moicano just got beat Hooker is matched with gaethje Charles Oliveira got beat by both of them. That makes pimplett next up in my opinion. Chandler is floating around in the back but I think he's either enhancement talent or washed.
Islam will probably fight for a second belt later in the year. Whether he wins or not it’ll depend who’s next, if he wins he’ll probably stay at welterweight. If indeed Arman isn’t next then he should face the winner of Gaethje vs Hooker for a shot at the title
The dude was a tub of lard. Unprofessional and not predictable. I don’t think he’s going to get any opponents. Who wants to pay for a training camp for a guy who is that much of a flake.
It’s simple. Dana saw the numbers, there is just no general interest in that fight aside a handful of people. Islam cleared the division. Something big needs to happen, and that is fighting Tuporia or moving up.
Fun fact : khabib camp refused to fight beneil on such short notice and took moicano... Even I was surprised why moicano over beneil who definitely had better ground game than moicano... 😂 UFC tried to save khabib camp face by not revealing it... It's that simple... Dana wants arab money and he'll make sure to protect these Islamic fighters face... Saying he'll fight anyone and asking for moicano, that's free fight... Commentary shouting p4p after beating moicano is crazy... I'm shocked at the support ufc is giving khabib camp to be honest... Even khabib has been in arman situations in past... But why is arman getting different treatment? If Merab vs Umar was in arab nation, Umar would've given the decision... Khabib trying to take belt from Dana before merab was given the decision is crazy....
Straight back to title shot chael. It’s only right. Hopefully that was just an emotional response from Dana the last weekend. Come on chael, do disagree with me?
I mean he ruined the whole card just by doing that Ngl but also it’s kinda hard to tell if he was avoiding the fight because he fought Islam on two weeks notice and it was his debut so
Arman is a big baby. He’s not really into fighting. He’s very nonchalant. Since he was 7 yrs old he already had 200 dollar leather boxing gloves. You make him fight twice and he gets another chance at the title in 2026.
Maybe Dana's plan for Islam is to go up and when the title is vacant, Dana knows he can put almost anyone in there. He can make Justin vs Oliveira 2 if Justin wins. Or put Max in there if he gets another lw win
I think it's a harsh quick decision to not rebook this fight...Islam got out of Moicano fight unscathed they should both be ready to fight asap ..and are camped for each other !!!🎉❤🎉

I wouldn’t mind one like in the middle or something but shit its first thing every single video and it’s like 15% of the video 💀 I know you gotta do something to cut even but shit is anyone even buying the freaking fume things 😂
Thank you for this video, I really wanted to hear your perspective on this whole situation. I kinda felt the same but I'm not an ex fighter, but Dana's on the hot seat so he can't just give him another shot right away....
Charles and Arman would be a great fight imo.
where is the more
We have to set some kind of standard for this shit tho, we also need a good back up for every Islam fight now 😂
Funny when was Charles Oliveira he did agree and wantedCharlesto lose his chance, now that's his friends he wants his friend to not be waiting 🙄...
I wish I could call out of my job like you and dc for good guy bad guy
Go to 1:30 to skip the ad
So it's not Tsarkarian anymore? Since when did this happen? I've been wrapped up in the nfl playoff season. It's been a while
Arman taking them picos
Chael on point
But where does Kevin Lee fit into this?
He is the only one on the plant that can challenge the champ
NO No No don't make it about weight cause that was not the issue he was on the right weigh They arleady said it wasn't A weight issue come on Chael your A insider you know this shit. it had nothing to do with weight. It was his back he couldn't move. I have had Sciatic nerve myself U can't move never mind get in a fist fight. I had it so bad I couldn't even pick the phone up that was 2 inch from my hand. This stuff is no joke. How is a guy going to fight if he can't even move his arms or move to the side or anything. I feel for him. Its not like you have a choice if you can't move.
The way Arman see's it, he's 28, rich and in no hurry. The problem for Dana is that the guy will smoke his whole roster of light-weights outside of the Champion. So at the most, he can only delay the inevitable. Arman will one day become Champion.
In my opinion I only saw 4 potential guys being contenders currently.
Moicano, pimplett, Hooker and Charles Oliveira.
If all Arman needs is one fight and then back in line , I would choose pimplett.
Moicano just got beat
Hooker is matched with gaethje
Charles Oliveira got beat by both of them.
That makes pimplett next up in my opinion.
Chandler is floating around in the back but I think he's either enhancement talent or washed.
Chael i would never think you were a smoker 😂 you ain't messing with fum stop kidding people
Who's Chris mint?
Chandler vs Armen makes sense
Because Dana Loves To Play Politics.
Islam will probably fight for a second belt later in the year. Whether he wins or not it’ll depend who’s next, if he wins he’ll probably stay at welterweight. If indeed Arman isn’t next then he should face the winner of Gaethje vs Hooker for a shot at the title
Unless it's Charles Oliveira then Arman has to fight Islam next. The former toughest division has been cleared out by Islam and is on life support.
Chael you say you actually read all your comments can you tell the story about how you got arrested in a hotel ?
DC.. Dana doesn’t care what you think. You’re a employee
Stop cappin for Dana.. Dana is wrong on this one. He's a bully
*an employee
He pulled out because he knew he wasnt going to make the weight
Chael knows who Roger Goodell is chat
Chael the American badass🗣️
The dude was a tub of lard. Unprofessional and not predictable. I don’t think he’s going to get any opponents. Who wants to pay for a training camp for a guy who is that much of a flake.
It’s simple. Dana saw the numbers, there is just no general interest in that fight aside a handful of people. Islam cleared the division. Something big needs to happen, and that is fighting Tuporia or moving up.
Fun fact : khabib camp refused to fight beneil on such short notice and took moicano... Even I was surprised why moicano over beneil who definitely had better ground game than moicano... 😂
UFC tried to save khabib camp face by not revealing it... It's that simple... Dana wants arab money and he'll make sure to protect these Islamic fighters face... Saying he'll fight anyone and asking for moicano, that's free fight... Commentary shouting p4p after beating moicano is crazy... I'm shocked at the support ufc is giving khabib camp to be honest... Even khabib has been in arman situations in past... But why is arman getting different treatment?
If Merab vs Umar was in arab nation, Umar would've given the decision... Khabib trying to take belt from Dana before merab was given the decision is crazy....
Beneil is coming off two losses, Moicano coming off a win streak. Moicano made way more sense.
Bro likes to yap
what if he pissed hot?
TREMENDOUSLY-INSIGHTFUL
Straight back to title shot chael. It’s only right. Hopefully that was just an emotional response from Dana the last weekend. Come on chael, do disagree with me?
Hey Chael, next time you see DC could you please ask him how bout those Chiefs? He'll understand. Thanks bruv.
I mean he ruined the whole card just by doing that Ngl but also it’s kinda hard to tell if he was avoiding the fight because he fought Islam on two weeks notice and it was his debut so
Dc needs fat camp not T.U.F.
I wish there was a laugh button because this is funny and i agree
Arman is a big baby. He’s not really into fighting. He’s very nonchalant. Since he was 7 yrs old he already had 200 dollar leather boxing gloves. You make him fight twice and he gets another chance at the title in 2026.
He pissed off dana. We DO NOT know the whole story.
Uncle Chael I need one for weed. What you got hahahah
Make the weed tap like Tito did
@ 🤣
Maybe Dana's plan for Islam is to go up and when the title is vacant, Dana knows he can put almost anyone in there. He can make Justin vs Oliveira 2 if Justin wins. Or put Max in there if he gets another lw win
Thank you for sponsoring the Oregon kids state championship.
Fluke injury and it sounds like it was a unanimous decision to pull out. I think arman is the only one who can beat Islam. Still deserves it next
someone must know the answer, yes?
FACT: Khabib pulled out of multiple fights because he would miss weight and was never stripped.
Striped of what? The no. 1 contendership.
@asrarteeli7871 Its a fact. Khabib did miss weight and pull out.
He actually missed weight 3 times lmao the Khabib goat 🐐 is a joke he missed weight lore times than he defended the belt lmao
Hating muppet
GAETHJE I'm a FAN BUT HE'S DONE FOR A RUN
I think it's a harsh quick decision to not rebook this fight...Islam got out of Moicano fight unscathed they should both be ready to fight asap ..and are camped for each other !!!🎉❤🎉
