Yep same thing.. sometimes in the wrestling room we knew who was the toughest in the state. That guys reputation exceeds him. We would see him maybe twice a yr. But when we did we knew whoever was in his weight class was going to be pinned
The toughest guy i know is my friend that has a bone marrow-damage that leaves him in severe constant pain. But every day he pulls him self up, get in his wheelchair and go out for a 10 mile ride in it to photograph and go fishing. He has made a rig on his wheelchair that holds his rods while he's cruising around. Thats a really tough man.
Reminds me of a story a coworker told me about his grandfather who raised him. The man was a boxing champion in the navy. Coworker said he never saw his grandfather lose a fight, one of the strongest and baddest men he ever knew. One day he was in an altercation with a neighbor which led to a fist fight in which the grandfather got his ass whipped. My coworker said his grandfather stewed over the loss for days. One day the grandfather went across the street and knocked on the neighbors door, said he wanted to try again, they went to the neighbors back yard, the grandfather again lost, stood up, shook the man's hand and said " I just needed to know", and that was that.
The grandad should have tried more ten times to be certain. One guy I knew went 0-89 without a win. Yes he lost 89 of his fights but he wasn't bothered because He thought to himself his opponents were not tough enough to kill him if they did they should have killed him. Despite bad jokes about his lack of ability to fight he eventually oh yes got better and became ferocious and vicious He maimed 30 of his previous conquerors badly. Sadly He became nasty and violent man. He avenged all of his 89 loss plus some. He went unbeaten for long time before the the bullet ended his weird career . Like Chael said no man is tougher than the next man.
Mike Vitale Wes watson and chael sonnen or the bad guy should get together and have a barbecue after their sparring session. They should also have a podcast together called bad guys united.
Chael's father is the toughest guy he ever met. Rain or shine he put his boots on every morning and went to work to support his family and help his son chase trophies and live a life of relative leisure in comparison to his own upbringing. That's a real tough guy.
So let me get this straight......The baddest guy Chael knows, knows a man (who he considers to be the baddest man he knows) and that man has an older brother....who rode around on a woman's bike in a singlet wrestling strangers in his childhood? That might just be the greatest story ever told.
I love how Chael fully embraces his Chaelness. I seriously would love to see him run for president. The presidential debates with Chael would be amazing.
*That part about the guy riding a girls bike around with his headgear in the basket, riding up to kids and challenging them to wrestling matches was the most "Tony Ferguson the type of guy to" thing I've ever heard.*
When I was a kid if we wanted to fight we would just leave our bike unattended while we watched out the window, as soon as someone would come to steal it we would fight them.
Toughest guy I ever met he had a lethal Blood cancer and he kept coming to work for Years, it was only in the last 3 months that he dropped off. He never Donged anyone over the head, but he was by far the toughest man I ever knew and I worshipped him..
@@getrich9828 All colleges offer Saturday classes. This kid might not have any classes on Saturday, but his college is definitely open on Saturday. I think Chael said he goes to Oregon State
Forget sleep when its nick cage marathon movie night......what do you do when the local discount store is selling movies for 30 cents? You buy one of everything.
The "Toughest guy I know" is a right of passage that all fighters experience. Every fighter has a "Toughest guy I know" story. For me, it was my instructor who taught me from a very early age. From a kid's perspective, he was a monster. Many years later, as he was on the down slope and I was literally at my physical and technical peak, we sparred and the experience shattered the illusion. He wasn't a monster at all, but he was a great teacher. The point being, we all have those moments in our journey where an individual impresses us to the point of awe. That moment lives on in our memory and grows as time passes. The "Toughest guy I know" is always the guy who was what you wanted to be.
Chael I was not the biggest fan in your career, but you won me over with your JJ performance and became a brother of my heart. You are now my favorite voice in MMA. Thank you for the joy you bring me.
Rickson tapped Mark twice at his BJJ academy when he showed up there to train. tringle choke once. second time RNC I believe. Mark showed up to tangle with the best though.
Wow, I went to HS school with all the Gutches! I didn’t expect to hear that :) PS, was born, raised and still here in Southern Oregon besides leaving for the Army back in the mid 90’s. I’ll have to share this shoutout 🙂
Its like a movie.... you dont even know when it started but you then realize theres loud background music as an action scene is playing and just as it stops they cut to the next scene where an old man is quietly sipping coffee somewhere in a NY park... Chael doesnt talk like this at home, hes a smart man he knows what hes doing.
Reminds me of an old saying I used to hear 50 years ago. “No matter how tough you are, there’s always someone tougher”. It took me decades to figure out what it actually meant.
Thanks, uncle Chael, for that walk down memory lane! I remember the hype around Les Gutches my sophomore year in Cedar falls. It was all about Brinzer and Gutches! I eventually attended OU (Oklahoma, not Oregon), where the Schulz brothers were legends. Dave was such a pioneer, and I'm convinced that many of his moves which were intended to manipulate airway, joints, etc. would have been very similar to what we see guys like Askren doing so well decades later (albeit they are not technically legal in wrestling).
I would say Mark for sure if he trained; but wouldn’t put it last Dave either. Pretty sure, and I could be wrong, but Mark’s one and only fight he did, he didn’t train for it at all.
Nah. Dave didnt want it. He wanted to be the family man dad. And mark...substance abuse would he picked up and peds and all that. Combine the two and you have khabib
Les Gutches was a phenomenal wrestler. he had some back problems later in his career that probably slowed him down a bit. for the non wrestling fans, type in Les Gutches vs Cael Sanderson (4 time NCAA undefeated champ 159-0, gold medalist and current Penn State head coach). that was indeed quite a match.
One of the toughest guys I met was a guy named Rick N. at my old Karate dojo in Hemet, CA. He was about 6'4" and about 300lbs but could kick at head height and wasn't really fat but wasn't really skinny (thick). He feared no one and would tell stories all the time about his street encounters, past and present. He wore glasses and had a red beard and hair. I think most people wouldn't see him as a "tough guy" but if you did decide to try him, you would be in a WORLD of hurt! Lol My Karate Sensei told a story of Rick's Black Belt test and having to fight / spar like 3-4 guys at once. Rick manhandled all of them, almost throwing one guy through a wall. One of the head Sensei's conducting the test remarked, "I think this guy has done this stuff for real before!" Lol
The baddest guy I know was my high school wrestling coach, Michael Porcelli... he has wins over Randy Couture and Kurt Angle. He used to tell us on the regular that Dave Shultz was the baddest man he knew. So I'm going with Dave too. It's settled.
Chael, the people want you to live stream a Q&A or at least come live and say hello. You can go live on your channel and use the community tab to announce a couple days early. Lots of comments about this man
I was at only one UFC event live...UFC 9 in Detroit. I feel honored to have been there live for Mark Schultz's one and only MMA fight...which he won. :-)
Obvious thing to say when talking about Chael but that was a great answer. 'there's always someone tougher' I wonder who the toughest man alive would be?
Wrestling is a fraternity of men. You could live half the world away, never spoke to someone and just know they wrestle. You will know so much about that person without a single introduction
Chael sonnen the type of guy to serve a 3 piece and a soda to masvidal while explaning Kevin lee where he fits into this and telling eddie bravo to look into it before tiredly exhaling - ok great now the goat chawl himself offers khabib location before anklepicking tony ferguson cause he cant let him get close. Tito tapped
I used to live a mile from Mark Shultz. I bagged his groceries all the time when I was 15 and worked at Albertson's. I remember telling all my coworkers he was a UFC fighter, but nobody even knew what UFC was back then. Anyway, Mark's probably the toughest guy I ever met too.
Why would you mention the UFC? He fought only once. If anything, you should have mentioned he was a world champion and freestyle wrestling gold medal winner.
This is the best toughest guy story ever told. I'll bet if you could follow up with every toughest guy story and their toughest guy story you would probably end up in biblical times. Chael is a phenomenal story teller!
like most dad's mine was like superman when i was young, well to me he was. I never quite knew how true that would be . My dad is in his 70's now and still runs around like a 50yr old but he's started to chill out a bit now . So i've meet a lot of guys that talk about my old man and of his many battles (you would'nt think this if you meet him ) and the strength he possessed i knew Dad was hard man but did'nt know he was the one that people would go to to sought out local bullies or so called tough guys my unlce told me that he'd take on two-three guys with ease and have them down in seconds and others saying that dad was a absolute power house the list go'es on ( forgot where i was going with this)......he trained through the 70's and 80's give it all up to raise my siblings and i he is the most humble dude and funny to think people still talk about him.
As an individual who has committed the majority of my life to the sport of wrestling, and also very familiar with all of these names mentioned, this is one of my favorite stories of all time. So resonating to hardcores because the greats come from all paths of life and there’s always someone out there that is badder than you
@@josiffexplosiff1 If I was lying I would just say Les Gutches was my coach but he was like a celebrity in Southern Oregon so the only time I saw him was at the wrestling camp he was running for a week. My coach was his uncle who was still pretty bad ass and mean. I knew his son's Bryson and Brock. Bryson is one of the best wrestlers I've met besides maybe Juan Archuleta. Brock who was a little kid ended up being a super successful wrestler.
@@eeooooee2234 I have wrestled my whole life all around the west coast. I've met a lot of people that ended up being great like Tatiana Suarez and Juan Archuleta for example. That is why I want to be a journalist in MMA. I feel like so many of my old friends and rivals are in the UFC or some other big organization and I know more about them then most people do.

I had the privilege to be able to coach Mark as an assistant in highschool. He was one hell of an athlete.
What an awesome video! You have some serious skills at story telling. Wish you all the best.
I was at only one UFC event live...UFC 9 in Detroit. I feel honored to have been there live for Mark Schultz's one and only MMA fight...which he won. :-)
But has he ever met Ronnie Pickering
🤣🤣🤣🤣jokes👍
Hahahahhahaha get in
Haha classic
Who?
Kevin Lee the type of guy to say he already beat Khabib in ea ufc 3 ..
That's a good one 🤣🤣
Al Iaquinta would be amused by this line
😂😂😂😂
Obvious thing to say when talking about Chael but that was a great answer. 'there's always someone tougher' I wonder who the toughest man alive would be?
Wrestling is a fraternity of men. You could live half the world away, never spoke to someone and just know they wrestle. You will know so much about that person without a single introduction
Chael sonnen the type of guy to serve a 3 piece and a soda to masvidal while explaning Kevin lee where he fits into this and telling eddie bravo to look into it before tiredly exhaling - ok great now the goat chawl himself offers khabib location before anklepicking tony ferguson cause he cant let him get close.
Tito tapped
I used to live a mile from Mark Shultz. I bagged his groceries all the time when I was 15 and worked at Albertson's. I remember telling all my coworkers he was a UFC fighter, but nobody even knew what UFC was back then. Anyway, Mark's probably the toughest guy I ever met too.
Why would you mention the UFC? He fought only once. If anything, you should have mentioned he was a world champion and freestyle wrestling gold medal winner.
And I don’t think he was a UFC champ …. Something shady about his story ..
Khabib recently said Chael is the baddest guy he knows and is often referred to as the lion of Dagestan
This is the best toughest guy story ever told. I'll bet if you could follow up with every toughest guy story and their toughest guy story you would probably end up in biblical times. Chael is a phenomenal story teller!
Chael, your an absolute beauty. Greatest story teller ever. Type of guy that tells stories to himself in the mirror for entertainment.
I can’t get enough of these stories. Brilliant.
*Chael's stories are so goddamn memorizing*
Hard to forget them
like most dad's mine was like superman when i was young, well to me he was. I never quite knew how true that would be .
My dad is in his 70's now and still runs around like a 50yr old but he's started to chill out a bit now . So i've meet a lot of guys
that talk about my old man and of his many battles (you would'nt think this if you meet him ) and the strength he possessed
i knew Dad was hard man but did'nt know he was the one that people would go to to sought out local bullies or so called tough guys
my unlce told me that he'd take on two-three guys with ease and have them down in seconds and others saying that dad was a absolute
power house the list go'es on ( forgot where i was going with this)......he trained through the 70's and 80's give it all up to raise my siblings and i
he is the most humble dude and funny to think people still talk about him.
Same as my dad, and i'm a wimp....What a disgrace
Chael from one blue eyed German to another , I love you man, don't ever stop !!
As an individual who has committed the majority of my life to the sport of wrestling, and also very familiar with all of these names mentioned, this is one of my favorite stories of all time. So resonating to hardcores because the greats come from all paths of life and there’s always someone out there that is badder than you
Chaels comment section is the funniest i have ever seen.
I didn't think Les Gutches would be so high on your list. Les's uncle was my first wrestling coach.
Stop lying this is the circle of trust and we can be honest here
josiff explosiff I hope there are no lies. This is the comment section of sincerity
@@josiffexplosiff1 If I was lying I would just say Les Gutches was my coach but he was like a celebrity in Southern Oregon so the only time I saw him was at the wrestling camp he was running for a week. My coach was his uncle who was still pretty bad ass and mean. I knew his son's Bryson and Brock. Bryson is one of the best wrestlers I've met besides maybe Juan Archuleta. Brock who was a little kid ended up being a super successful wrestler.
@@eeooooee2234 I have wrestled my whole life all around the west coast. I've met a lot of people that ended up being great like Tatiana Suarez and Juan Archuleta for example. That is why I want to be a journalist in MMA. I feel like so many of my old friends and rivals are in the UFC or some other big organization and I know more about them then most people do.
Uncle Chael, you forgot the "Oh I and by the way" weirdism...
My favorite fighter off all time. Always a pleasure to hear him speak as well.
Chael is my favorite fighter...dude is intelligent, knows how to entertain in an interview, and is one hell of a fighter!
The toughest guy Chael ever met was looking at him in the mirror, standing across from him, undefeated, undisputed.
Any average person walking down the tough streets of West Linn should get a mention.
Lmao!!!, I love Chael's exit line,... "Apparently, he knows somebody else",...
it'd be cool if we can get the best fighters throughout history, put them in a tournament at their prime and see who comes out victorious.
