You can tell how genuinely touched Chael is by all that's been unfolding over the past couple of days. The legacy of both these two men only continues to grow as a result.
Oh you know damn well Chael met with the cameraman pre interview to make sure the camera was big enough to capture THEE largest arms in West Lynn, Oregon that made their way to Los Angeles, California.
When Anderson said “Chael, my brother.” At the end, that’s all you need to know about Anderson. I think looking back he knows all that Chael said was not from a bad place, but a way for him to get those fights with the Spider.
Yeah see chael played the heel gimmick perfectly. Unlike Colby who hits wayyyy below the belt but acts appalled that people take it seriously and really brings out the worst in just childish fans who are trolls, chael was a great heel because it didn’t ever come from a place of like hate or disrespect, it was funny, and at the end of the day he could play that role, get big fights off of it, and be entertaining asf without ever once having to trash entire countries, dance on the grave of dead people, call people dead beat dads, or claim someone he wanted to fights wife was a hoe and that he needed a dna test to prove his daughter was his. Chael laid the groundwork for how to be the perfect heel
Yes the odd thing about it is that I think Anderson has always been this way and comes across as a very decent and likable human being, and yet even without being an angry or hateful person he is such a natural when it comes to being vicious and violent. Fascinating guy.
Anderson is the reason that UFC caught my attention and held it years ago. Tuned in for every fight including every PPV with him. I miss the Era of the spider in his prime, my favorite Era of UFC.
Same. I’m 28, and if wasn’t for Silva I wouldn’t have watched. Before then my brothers were big into it, but I thought it was just fat dudes swinging at each other. Then I saw Silva treat it like an art form. Since then I’ve been hooked.
He is very respectful in the cage even, he was one of the few fighters who didn’t land “unnecessary” shots after finishing his opponents he always waited for the ref to step in
He was never "cold hearted" in the Cage. He was always respectfully and full of love for he's opponents. He always worried about them and bow down to them after every fight win lose or draw
i always loved anderson . even in high school back in like 2007 i bought a anderson silva hoodie and it had a bee on it, i can't remember what the brand was but it was before the stupid reebok deal and the fighters could sell their own merch
Same but what I missed early on about Silva because he was so dominant, is he actually cared about the sport, he started taking fights on no notice when guys would drop out or get PED shit, he would fight the tuffest guy even after he got old on no notice, Dana you need me to fill in? Respect.
Damn I love that hug at the end. I literally got a little emotional from it bc you can tell that having Anderson’s respect means so much to Chael. Much respect to the both of these legends 🙌🏼👊🏼
Cant help but feel wholesome after the whole trash talk went down to them now respecting each other and Anderson truly embracing Chael at the end. Legends.
I love how comfortable Spider is with touching and hugging people, even someone who's (i'm gonna guess) a stranger. It's really common here in Brazil and the best people at doing this are also the ones with most charisma, one thing feeds the other.
Chael elevated Silva's legacy and popularity for sure. People forget that before Chael, Silva was getting shit for his last few performances because he was being too safe or he wasn't trying to end fights anymore. Didn't help that Silva never talked to the fans so all we saw was a quiet champ who used to excite us now taking the easy and safe UDs. Chael bought so much eyes to their fight and Silva overcoming that 5 round beatdown to win it at the end was some legendary story type shit. Silva had so much hype after that and then Silva stopped playing it safe and went back to entertaining fans and he went on a KO vitor right after. That set him on a different level. then he ko'd Yushin and rematched Chael and then ko'd Bonnar as well. Silva was like on an all time high in that period and it all started with his Chael fight.
Thats a little unfair. People were genuinely scared to engage with him. Hes the OG israel. He had embarrassingly KOed so many people that it lead to those UDs. He was always a killer
This is what the world needs man. One of the biggest beefs in sports history, Now these 2 brothers can reflect together on the impact they made for the future generation. No matter who won or lost
Just like pretty much everyone in Brazil, I love Anderson, he's getting very funny and have a great energy around him now. And I believe I'm one of the few brazilians who loves Chael too. I just can't be sad when Chael is talking something. 😂
U can tell chael respects silva so much. Not only is silva one of the baddest men on the planet he is also one of the kindest. U can tell its sincere. I wanna c his son fight now
As a fan who's been watching since UFC 1, that was one of the best moments of all time watching those two bury the hatchet with an embrace. Also props to Anderson for the progression of his English, he's really came a long way. 👏
Haven’t been a fan for as long as yourself, but this was really cool to watch. I grew up watching the spider’s era in his prime, didn’t really keep up with the ufc for a while and kinda came back in around the Connor era. I have really fond memories growing up of these guys so it’s especially nice to see two legends of the sport share an awesome moment
So nice of Chael to put himself in the same interview, and actually talk to the person he humiliated TWICE. Chael is such a great guy. Undefeated and Undisputed
I don’t even know the real words to describe that video i just watch other than was just so awesome. Chael and Anderson praising each other and their fight/careers but genuinely doing it is so nice to see
we are hurting for real role models... thats why this country looks this way... we were blessed with a gift and we are squandering it like it was a gift... the sadness and regret we will feel for not stepping up will be overwhelming...
This is an incredible heart warming ending to a most vicious rivalry. You know both humans are God Level when despite being at odds (in the past), they genuinely understand and respect each other to the core. P.S: Anybody remember the Jet Li movie "Hero" where he refuses to kill the Qin emperor? 😅
Appreciate seeing this because I dont think it will ever happen with any modern rivalries. Like theres no chance we see this with Jon/DC or Khabib/Conor
I could see Khabib and Connor shaking hands like this in the future. Khabibs straight up said he's gone nothing against him now if I'm remembering the interview correctly, and Connors pretty much like the protégé of Chael with his personality, trash talking for business sake, not personal
@@flaviomottawav really? Damn! Colby does the same shtick about Brazilians but I felt like people were aware that is just a character he's playing as well
It’s awesome to see these two look back on that time. Even better that they both understand that fighting each other built a lasting legacy for each of them in its own way.
Remember when Chael tapped to Anderson silva and said After the fight be thought if you tap you lose the round not the fight even tho he’d lost 7 previous bouts via submission 😂
This interview was wholesome. This reminds me of the time Nick Diaz went backstage into the locker room to shake GSP's hand. It's always good to see when rivals come together at the end of their careers and make peace. Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield.
Anderson Silva was who got me into watching the UFC. He was like nothing i had ever seen. I remember chael getting on my radar and was so excited for their fight. 2 of the goats
say what you want about chael, he' s actually one of the most considerate, articulated and benevolent sportsman out there, and his contribution to the sport is undeniable.
Anderson Silva in his prime was absolutely terrifying. He's the only fighter to give me butterflies in my stomach during his octagon entrance... And I wasn't even in the octagon. I was just some nobody watching it on ppv. He's an absolute legend.
It's funny how the story is not about Jake vs Anderson, but Chael and Anderson's love and respect toward each other. It's been the stand out moments for me during this whole tour.
It's a shame that Chael didn't survive against Jon Jones back in the day, I wish he had won the belt through that doctor stoppage, he deserved to become a champ.
It wasn’t really fierce. It was just Chael insulting in a comedic way and Anderson just confused. The first fight was Chael beating up Anderson until the submission. And then the second fight Chael was winning until the back fist.
This is honestly amazing, 2 of my faves, 1 of the grestest rivalries and now they are just causally hanging out doing a interview complimenting each other 🤣
This was beautiful. I wish could see more of these two, especially, at that BBQ together. The Bad Guy and The Spider breaking bread together. That would be something to behold.
This was a great interview! really liked his rivalry and now I'm amazed at the respect they show each other... I would pay to hear the stories they will share during the barbecue Chael's being invited at Anderson's house
I really never again saw a fight where someone gets bottomed for 24 minutes and then manages to win via submission by the end. This was the most crazy never say never fight I ever whitnessed
I think it's impossible not to like Anderson Silva. So respectful and kind. Even Jake Paul can't even say a bad word about him to try and hype the fight more. Nice to see him and Chael on such good terms and Anderson give Chael such a compliment that left Mr. Sonnen for the first time almost speechless when he recognized him for all the young kids he helped out and kept out of trouble by teaching them at his wrestling school
No moment will ever top Anderson’s fifth round triangle on Chael for me. Packed party full of people, everyone screaming. I ran out of the place in disbelief. Man what a night. Props to these legends
Anderson was my favorite and I didn't understand that Chael was playing a character and I hated him back then, now I realize I was a fan of him since day one, he made me be so involved with a fight like no other.
Watching the UFC was so different back in those days. it wasnt so easy to get info on fights, or maybe i just wasnt in the loop, but these guys first fight def brought me back into the ' i gotta watch ufc this weekend' mode, and had me watching espn every morning leading up.
@@nonyobussiness3440 i dont know what the outlaws, or a bww is, but im not sayin they werent as big, im trying to say that followin the sport wasnt as easy. i dont recall any youtube channels popping up all the time, or seeing anything really on facebook at the time, but i never was really big on socials, n never had a twitter, so thats why i said i may not be privy to it, but for the most part, it was the fights, n that was it for me at least. i live in a small town though, n started watching in 06, but took a break round 2012-14, as i was just ragin all the time on weekends n didnt have time for it, but iwas def watchin espn up till then all day everyday, n ufc was almost never on, maybe once a month u would see someone talkin on there bout somethin
It’s nice of Chael to let Anderson Silva and Jake Paul fight on his show.
This men knows his stuff

I was thinking the same thing
That is indeed nice

Yeah see chael played the heel gimmick perfectly. Unlike Colby who hits wayyyy below the belt but acts appalled that people take it seriously and really brings out the worst in just childish fans who are trolls, chael was a great heel because it didn’t ever come from a place of like hate or disrespect, it was funny, and at the end of the day he could play that role, get big fights off of it, and be entertaining asf without ever once having to trash entire countries, dance on the grave of dead people, call people dead beat dads, or claim someone he wanted to fights wife was a hoe and that he needed a dna test to prove his daughter was his.

The era right before that, when Silva fought in Pride, THAT was my favorite! Those we're WARS!
Facts bro.
Mine too! He will be always my favorite fighter
Anderson helped me fall in love with the sport, Chael kept me in love with the sport.
This is very true I agree brother
Awesome statement.👍👍💯
Great point
you nailed it for many many ppl
hay thats good saying man
Anderson Silva is cold hearted in the cage and ring.but wow what a Legend, and what a great human being
He is very respectful in the cage even, he was one of the few fighters who didn’t land “unnecessary” shots after finishing his opponents he always waited for the ref to step in
He was never "cold hearted" in the Cage.
He was always respectfully and full of love for he's opponents. He always worried about them and bow down to them after every fight win lose or draw
Silva was always classy..had that mystique & aura about him.
I’m such a huge Chael fan, but it’s hard not to love Anderson as well, he’s such a nice guy.
Liking chael should only make you like Anderson more

2 legends of the game for completely different reasons
The GOAT and Anderson Silva
Undefeated, undisputed, never lost a round

@@thebubbclub I think Covington is a better comparison to Chael.
Yes! Classic interview!
