The greatest trick Chael ever pulled was convincing people he was the bad guy. Much respect
Aren’t all drug cheats the bad guys ?

@@JavierNYC423 keep wondering why woman dont take you seriously..
@@JavierNYC423 so everyone from that time is a bad guy in your book, that means no one was a bad guy

Uncle Chael learning the best lesson of all.
“I Can let you get close.”
Underrated comment lmao
😭😭😭
Lmaoo

Take it from a Brazilian: I feel happy for you, Chael. I was only 24 years old when you and Anderson fought for the second time, and I fell for all of your shenanigans before the fight and hated your guts. But once I started paying attention to you, especially through the Joe Rogan Experience, I started to admire your intelligence, your comedic chops (you could easily be a stand up comic) and your unbelievable ability to communicate. You are now by far my favorite MMA personality and I watch your channel everyday.
Don't worry about coming to Brazil like Anderson joked, you're welcome anytime.
It was a brilliant joke
Those two... Just makes the world better knowing that they are good
You're a hero my guy, willing to understand the business unlike so many these days.
Good to see a MMA fan with a mature approach.
Its all about the sales! And a bit of WWE style shit makes it fun
Awhhhh💜
As a brazilian too, I'll just sing here, as I make your words mine.
Big fan of the channel too! ✌🏽
Watching Chael and Silva hug it out on stage was such a nice heartwarming moment. Behind those fighters personna and ego... You just have kids who grew up with a dream. It was a nice moment.
You mean behind Chael’s persona and ego, right? 😂
It was hilarious
Why you never come visit 😂😂😂😂 but not in Brazil 😂😂😂😂. Ahh the memories
@@Alvaro-qz6qk I don't see Chael as having an ego, he was always honest. its 40% business and 60% psychological warfare.
Which for the most part works.. look at Wanderlei.. he got so worked up and tunnel vision on Brutalizing Chael, Chael double legged him that many times... it made his TUF double legging and calling Wanderlei a "F@cking amateur" an absolute definite.
And Chael has always stated his wrestling is his strong game, not his striking, but he knows how to speak with confidence and bravado that some actually questioned if Chael was better than they thought.
Anderson was mentally shook, and got taken to the wax on their first showdown, and Chael did his thing for a guaranteed second fight, big payday and another title shot
@@Alvaro-qz6qk you know nothing about Chael
@@captainofnumenor8221 wine not allowed for children....but in Titos case i think his momma drank heavily during his pregnancy.
As someone that lived through the Chael, Anderson saga on the edge of my seat as a teenager, it warms my heart.
I'm a little older than you but I feel the same way. That whole conflict was super entertaining the early 2010s and got me into mma. I actually went to Vegas and saw their second fight live. It was a really fun time to be an mma fan.
@Fartoolong you're 43?
I wasn't into MMA yet but I always always around it and I remember the build up so vively because as a kid I told my uncle this isnlike Goku vs Vegeta but it's real AND THEN ANDERSON GOT THE TRIANGLE
Me too brother. I came on to the scene after their fight, but still very much while Chael was at his best. This warms my heart, and I would love to see Chael and Anderson interact on camera again. Time changes a lot of things, I think the animosity is all gone from Andersons side.
I can just hear that little voice of Uncle Chael trying to hold back his emotion. If you guys notice by 7:10-7:18 I feel like Uncle Chael was about to letting a tear. Not just the happiness to see Anderson’s son, but also to witness him grow up and follow his father footstep. I am happy for you Uncle Chael.
Could tell how much Anderson's words meant to Chael, I think he's wrong when he says Anderson was THE guy for him while he was one of the guys for Anderson, he was THE guy for him too
Agree. Anderson Silva’s best moment was pulling a rabbit out of his hat against Chael. His best fight was slaying his demon in the second fight against Chael.
He brought a lot of interest back to Anderson at a point where people were getting bored of watching his fights and annoyed with his antics in the cage. People want to see a competitive fight, and a lot of Anderson's fights weren't looking that way anymore. In their first fight, Chael proved that people could be competitive against Anderson, and also that Anderson was still a puzzle that no one could figure out. In their second fight, Anderson proved that it wasn't a fluke, and that really cemented his legacy.
That was probably one of the highest points of Anderson's career, really, maybe second to the first time he won the belt.
Comparing with the kids these days, aka McNuggets. What Chael have done was business. He crossed the line, and he owned it up.
Big Anderson fan here, who also grew up on mma during their time and I gotta say I agree that Chanel is 100% that guy for him too.
Just being humble because he’s the goat.
Chael ALMOST broke character and teared up. I could hear his voice cracking. Respect dude. You got a heart and conscience
Yeah, i caught that to at the end.
It seems it haunted him for years when he realized what he said pretty much about the mother of Andy's kids back then.
Those 2 press conferences were the best I've ever seen. The back stories, the mutual respect, the humor... you crushed it! You guys all crushed it. Tremendous build-up to a very interesting fight.
And the kid who stole Jake's hat deserves an honorable mention.
Why
Chael being intuitive enough to realize that his chapter with Silva had a different meaning for each guy is pretty cool. This might be the first time I've heard somebody describe being on the other side of the "But for me, it was Tuesday." trope.
Very moving story. It's rare that you can mend old wounds, let alone scars. Takes both men having a solid character. Nice.
This was one of my favorite Uncle Chael stories. To me Sonnen VS Silva were the good ol' days.
I remember being so pissed when Chael lost in 2012 to Silva but it's funny he mentions Anderson's son. I remember after the fight was over seeing him hugging his dad very emotional like that win really really meant something. It was a nice moment to see. Made me realize right then and there how fn truly great Anderson Silva was. And his son has some frickin' skills! Wouldn't be shocked if we see him in the UFC or in another organization!
Yeah you can be certain that dana is keeping an eye on him
As someone who grew up in mma during the Silva era it was so fun to see you guys together and interacting. Silva is my favorite fighter ever, but you can’t say Silva without saying Sonnen. If it weren’t for Anderson, you would’ve ruled that division 100%.
Very wholesome moment. The Bad Guy and The GOAT being friends. The greatest MMA rivalry has a happy ending.
Nah jons n dc
I never seen you so giddy when Andersen said you beat his ass for 5 rounds. You were so red Chael. Must have been biggest compliment ever. Congrats
It was a beautiful moment of true respect between 2 warriors. Anderson pure classy guy and he's serious about the BBQ 🤣
It was totally awesome the level of respect you both showed during that press conference, exactly what I hoped for.
We are proud of you Chael for doing all you have while you where in the sport and making amends after!!
Wow didn't realise that was the first time they met since their last fight. Was great to see both these warriors acknowledge their significance to one another's career's. Man it was beautiful. Chael if you or one of your team see this you should definitely 100% go to his house for barbecue it would mean so much to Anderson and us your fans. Even after all the gold you brought us over the years you still continue to give us great moments like this past press conference. Undefeated, undisputed. The pride of West Lynn Chael P Sonnen
All because Ariel double booked himself and asked Uncle Chael to fill in
Beautifully written brotha 🙏
He does not deserve to be in his house. Some things you say can never be taken back. And he went too far with the wife comments.
@@VCthaGOATdunker Booooo, go away
Their backstage interview was really touching stuff. Anderson is such a great dude
That's a beautiful moment, thanks for letting us in and sharing it!
Amazing
it was awesome to see you guys together . It was great when he admitted that you beat him up for 5 rounds ! You were his hardest test for sure ! Be proud !
As a brazilian it took a while for me to understand Chael, but it has been years now following his TH-cam channel and I got to know and respect him.
I think Anderson did realize the importance of their fights too, because a legendary career like Anderson’s needed a dance partner like Chael.
Their first fight is the stuff of legends and cemented both guys as Legendary fighters.
Why does it matter if ur Brazilian
@@Adam-uz9sc because all the true hatred brazilians had towards Chael? Because his rivalry with Brazilian legends?
Are you dense or what?
@@raphaelcalado4335 so Brazilians hate chael because he had a rivalry with Brazilian fighters 😂 and I call me dense
@@Adam-uz9sc brazilians hated him because his comments and shenanigans. But some of us who keep following his career have come to respect and like the guy.
Also, don’t try to say that this kind of behavior is something brazilians only do, because it definitely isn’t the case.
@@Adam-uz9sc Chael made fun of Brazil many times and had beef with Anderson who is a legend in Brazil. Pretty simple to understand
CHAEL. I WAS IN THE BUILDING IN OAKLAND (I was rooting for Anderson BUT YOU GAINED FAN). YOU ARE AN HONORABLE MAN AND A GREAT WARRIOR. You guys together brought back some great memories for me. THE FIGHT GODS WERE PLEASED THAT NIGHT.
I was hoping you’d have something to say about that whole encounter. Thanks dude!
Not gonna like my soft ass almost teared up watching that moment between these 2 legends. I vividly remember the rivalry back in high school between them and to see it conclude the way it did, years later - is beautiful.
What a talent Chael has for promotion ! Watching him on stage with Silva, how all stayed quiet while Sonnen talked was an ultimate show of respect for what he has built!! He should 100% be remplacing Dana when Dana leaves !!!!
Great moment in sport history. It shows the beauty and respect of true martial artist
Chael may have taken the ‘L’ but he was the better fighter in that first five rounder with Silva. Think of that - outpointed Anderson Silva in Anderson Silva’s prime. Not many people on this planet can tell their grandkids that.
Excuse me? Undisputed Undefeated pvp best the original gangster of Oregon! Chael P Sonnen and the P stands for Champion!
Silva had broken ribs, but yeah he came to fight that night. The second fight too, the first round just looked like round 6 of the first fight, but Anderson caught him with his tricks that time and did what Anderson does.
Chael also tested positive for elevated testosterone levels after that fight and was suspended by the fight commission.
@@messiona no, he didnt have broken rib, he injured the cartilage between them. Still super painful, though, and it happened 3 days before the fight. Watch the documentary I believe is called "like water" or something, that shows the moment it happened
@@theDavidChannel1 silva was also on roids. He was micro dosing. He finally got caught during the Diaz fight.
Greatest showman/trash talker in MMA history hands down🏆
That was very wholesome to hear. Hopefully Jon and Cormier can have a moment like this one day 😅
Yea 😂
Nah, Jones is a genuine psychopath, the ones who I think might have this moment is Usman and Covington
Good job Sonnen. Thanks for sharing those moments with us.
So happy for you that you got to have that moment. Watching the reunion between you guys and the genuine respect shown between two humans was awe-inspiring. Great stuff, uncle Chael. 🙏
It's one thing to look back at old footage, but to have lived in that time & watched those old fights live - made this all the more special. Thanks Chael 🍻
Everyone including Anderson must have been scared of the 5-0 Bad Guy in hallways 😂
Well I have to say that Chael and his emotional stories give us way more than we deserve. You could literally write a movie script based on these stories. This stuff right here is what its all about man. chael was one of my favorite fighters years ago and continues to be undisputed and undefeated today.
Always been a fan. Just becoming a bigger fan with stories like this though. Even a roll model of a guy and I just turned 32 yesterday. Lost my dad but you remind me a lot of him and maybe that’s why too. Much love man!!! Keep being you and never change!!! 💯💯💯
aww chael, I'm glad you got some closure bud
This put a much-needed smile on my face ☺ Absolutely love this bit Chael.
As a fan who watched this unfold when I was young. Yes chael you were the bad guy. Yes chael you are still the bad guy but you are the good bad guy.
True!
These are the moments in this sport that I truly enjoy the most. More than seeing one of my favorite fighters win, more than seeing a fighter I don't like lose. But the rare moments where as fans we truly get to kind of peak behind the curtain so to speak. I'm aware that this is the fight business, and with that money will always be at the forefront. But after the dust settles, the stories of two fighters and a mutual level of respect for your former opponent. And two people able to set aside the hype of selling the fight, and show a mutual appreciation for one another's roles in each other's stories.
Respect Chael, there was emotion cracking in your voice. I'm glad you found some closure for that long remembered moment. Thank you for sharing, I hope people will find the courage to face the unseen battles that are fought between the ears.
Incredible story very touching
Chael with the reading glasses during the pressers make him look like he retired when he beat Anderson 😂
That barbeque story at Anderson's place is the best. Happy for both men.
I'm a member of an akb gym, my professor is very good friends with Anderson. So i've had the incredible opportunity to meet Anderson, and even trained at a seminar he put on at our gym. I was blown away by his humility and kindness at that event. Chael's fights with Anderson are some of my very favorite fights in history. Seeing you two interact at that press conference was so cool to me. Loved how it unfolded, and I hope you take him up on that BBQ offer.
This was masterful story telling! Thank you for sharing
I enjoy this content and hearing about your thought process cause I think we’d all be over thinking it like you. Awesome turn out
Thank you for sharing this, Chael. I love these type of videos where real you gets out.
Ariel is truly lucky to have uncle Chael as a friend nothing but loyalty and class ✊🏼
Regardless of seeing each other in person Chael had Anderson on his TH-cam channel a few years ago.
One More in the win Column
One More in the Bank
And One More for THE BAD GUY.
You had Anderson as a guest on this show over video call a little while back. It was so wholesome and upbeat, so I knew you guys were cool already. Good to see it happen in person as well.
Truly amazing. I'm glad you have closure Chael. Feels good to feel good.
On of my favorite moments in pressers in the fighting community was watching you and Anderson and hearing this story. I know it was weighing on you. Good job
I know you do some work for Bellator and Eagle, but Chael you need to be move involved in the fight business you are a perfect fit.
Chael is truly as genuine as they come..please find a way to meet him. He will make you a bigger fan than you already are. Grade A human being.
I feel like this too also serves as some sort of closure for us long time fans who have been tuning into the Chael-Anderson rivalry since the beginning. Thank you, Chael for bringing this to us.
Did his son say “it’s normal “ that would be epic
man what an epic story
Much respect to Chael for sharing this. I appreciate the honesty and humility. Great stuff
Cheal you need to do these things more often!! This was awesome!! We need more!!
Chael went from hating boxing to covering the biggest boxing event of the year
Love chael. But why does he keep saying he hasn't talked to Silva in any capacity since they fought ?? Chael you interview him on this podcast not long ago lol.....huge fan speaking here but i think we all thought things were good cuz of the interview on your podcast ...
Ok good to see I want mistaken about that
That’s a great story. Glad you got the closure you needed and that everyone is on good footing together.
Such a good heartwarming vid had to watch it 2x
Legendary
The first time you saw him since the second time you beat him to defend your middleweight belt.
These press conferences for this was some of the best ever. I’m excited for this event.
That was really awesome to see and its really touching to watch you and the emotions you bring to your stories. There is always time for amends or redemption until there isnt.
Goats come and go but boats staying floating - I’m a boat.
This entire saga had such a wholesome ending!
You did a great job uncle chael, those civil press conferences can be a bit mute the majority of the time but you injected life into them. You were the gel that held them together. Well done.
Hi Chael I don't know if you read these comments but I'm a fan of yours, I'm from a place called Timaru it's a small town in New Zealand, anyways it was a beautiful moment watching you and Anderson bury the hatchet, and hearing it in your voice as talked about laying it to rest with his son, I admire the courage you have to put it out for everyone to see well done mate and thank you for all the entertainment you provide us with I love your videos
Chael your title fight with Anderson will always be my favorite MMA fight of all time! And seeing you two hugg it out was a great moment for us fans, respect to you both
Man , you are such a good human being. I will pray for your good
This might be my fav chael video out there
That was truly a beautiful story of the passing of time and the eventual passing of the torch.
This was amazing! I'm so glad he shared this! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Shout out to you chael excellent role model after watching those fights you could never picture it ending that wholesome
You made the press conference much more exciting, interesting and beautiful with that interaction with Anderson
I took it very personal when you said that on TV. However, yes. After a number of years, I finally understand. I am sure that Anderson and his family will understand as well. I would never expect this video from you. Respect Chael.
Great moment unc! Glad you share insight like this w us!!! 🙏🏾
You finally got my full respect sir!!!! Nicely done. Glad u didn't go into details about the conversation. That's primarily between you guys. Happy it ended this way
This whole story arc warms my heart, chael.
Thanks for sharing that heartfelt moment Chael.
Chael amazing video, love your content and honesty. You are an inspiration to me as a fighter and as a person. Have a great day, see you in the next video.
This one segment here is about respect, integrity and bettering yourself to a class act! Then the closure?! Wow; Chael...icing on the cake bro! These are moments, situations, circumstances and experiences in a life long memorable journey and your highest peak was shared with another's and it's FIGHTING! You meet the kids while young but walked from a shoulda coulda woulda and it hurt! Man...we all can relate one way or another. Had you not been in the position you are today perhaps not being able to have the "closure" never got to happen. But it did and Chael, brother...you'd probably take that to the grave as one of your final moments outside memories of with family of your own and growing up from a small child. Anyway...so much to say but duties call...love your works Chael! Press on brother
This was awesome to hear, love all your stories but this might be my favorite
as a long time fan of the sport and witnessing the chael Anderson saga in live time, this was awesome to see, two of the most beloved figures in the sport
it was heart warming watching you and silva be cool like that.
That was beautiful... Good on you Chael.... You have the love of humanity inside you for sure
Chael is getting better and better, love this shit 💯
Uncle Chael might have to change that sign back there to GOOD GUY INC. He's talked about this enough times for us to see that for all the fussin and fightin, he's self-aware and straight up. Respect!
Anderson said great things about you Chael during that press conference.. the guy even credits you for being a big part of why he is where he is in life.. That's pretty special if you ask me.. I'm glad you guys got to talk and I'm glad you got closure.
Chael man - this got me right in the feels.
Love this video.
On camera you two seemed to be truly enjoying each others company. Felt good to see it. I think he (Anderson) likes and respects you at the end of the day.
....And now it's a triple threat match! Paul vs Silva vs Chael!
