From Chael himself, "I was on more juice than Tropicana"

[@christianpeyton6961]

He’s getting older but not dropping muscle. That happens

[@db1988]

Jealous, I love how people think, u just take some test and your in amazing shape, no u still have to get your ass out of bed at 4 am and hit gym 2 times a day to stay in that type of shape, ya some test make u a little more dry muscles fuller might get u down a few percentage points on your body fat, but you still have to do way more workthen you ever be willingto do ,so shut up hes, not competing.

[@Mighty15x]

Thank you 🙏

[@rethinchristin2044]

The fact that almost every fighter who has been interviewed on this podcast just praises DJ and asks him questions shows who the actual GOAT among the professionals are. Sad that I missed the GOAT’s UFC era 🥲

[@Alexvee-23]

Oh bro me too, at least I’ve been lucky enough to watch him on One FC

[@drbray]

It was cool Era go back and watch his fights in order it's well worth ya time

[@mikeallday2940]

Well worth the time to go back and watch. The toss from standing into a side arm bar. Legendary

[@spencerl-yf6bg]

Mighty Mouse and GSP are the GOAT's for me. I'd have Jon Jones in there too if he weren't such a roided out wife beater and clown.

[@Aqua_Holic_Fishing]

Mikey Mussolini is epic Chael! He always throws some names that are simply hilarious!

[@THEHOMEBOY88PODCAST]

Wow. From a gaming channel to being a LEGIT MMA channel. Great job DJ. You’ve come a long way bro

[@BenchlikeBlakey]

That 15 time champ intro is literal PERFECTION

[@DarkLight-Ascending]

Chael saved the world....Hear me out... Chael was the prime force in consistently driving PPVS during a precarious and vulnerable time of UFCs evolution... without which, UFC very well would have crumbled. Chael directly saved the UFC. The UFC was responsible for pulling the world out of covid lockdown. We could very well be living in an authoritarian, dystopian dictatorship without the gift to humanity known as... Sir Chael Sonnen of the death hands. ❤

[@MMA4LIFE]

Chael petting the puppy was wholesome. One more for the bad guy!

[@DarkLight-Ascending]

The modern Godfather of MMA gave you his blessing, DJ.

[@TheNarutoTeam7]

Had to become a member for this one

[@Mighty15x]

[@olo398]

Nice talk with Chael, as a 41 yr old, going back to MMA during the early 90s (bay area had its own thing going on locally), VHS/dialup internet/talking MMA and all these decades later seeing what MMA landscape. Keep it up GOAT.

[@ijustpostconcertsigoto]

Bringing up Tank and trash talking was a good honest call. Watch some of Tank when he was doing some of the desk and his commits 😂 gold.

[@FtrHex]

hell yeah

[@kevincarrigan2798]

I really enjoy watching Demetrious' interviews and fight reactions. Glad he will still be providing us entertainment even after his MMA career. Thanks man!

[@ComedyByAlan]

“A broken clock is right twice a day” - chael on his prediction hit rate 😂 Such a great interview between 2 legends. I was fortunate enough to meet these guys before they blew up and in the middle of peak popularity and they treated fans exactly the same/were great guys. One of the times i was at the fighters hotel for the shogun/Vera event and chael/rashad were there as well. Chael was told by someone at zuffa their shuttle wasn’t coming for 45 min so he turned around to a few of us fans hanging out getting pics/autographs and said “well boys what do you want to talk about” and sat on the lobby couch. Rashad shrugged his shoulders at sat down with us since he was waiting as well. Those guys are genuinely hilarious and good people, they hadn’t fought yet but were friends

[@jakethesnake4971]

It's so endearing when 2 humble gentlemen have to accept compliments from each other. It's always hard to take compliments for some reason lol

[@torinerickson4124]

So glad you started doing these, entertaining everytime

[@AaronLatimer]

This interview has me so hyped.

[@gabrielstone8216]

These interviews are amazing. Keep ‘em coming

[@1acarrillo75]

Awesome interview! Mighty Mouse always bringing us the excellent content! This interview with Uncle Chael was epic!👍🔥

[@eduy17]

My man, DJ you are killing it with your podcast. I have tried sitting through more than 30 minutes of any other podcast and I trully can’t, not even the JRE keeps me locked in for more than 30 minutes, but holy smokes, I love your interviewing skills and your ability to keep me listening through a whole hour and a half of very interesting topics. Your sportsmanship, respect, and humbleness still shows to this day in every single interview and I believe it is that combination and greatness that brings the real character out of your guests. Keep up the good work brother so I can keep watchng your videos on a daily basis🤣

[@DaBlaccGhost]

Absolutely stoked to be able to watch this at work!

[@dismiss3d323]

53:15 that is a great point about what ONE is doing different. Them having Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA on a single card is so great for showing specialists in different disciplines. Mainly because this is something that MMA LOST as the sport developed, and you guys touched on that when Chael brought up Machida, Wonderboy, and Conor because they had a karate style. Excellent episode, Mighty has the best show out right now.

[@johnnyfontenot2999]

IMO you're the true Goat Demetrious. No suspensions, no controversies just straight bossin. Keep up the good work man we appreciate the content

[@SuperL33CH]

Loved it! Best of both worlds. A couple of years ago I didn't really think I would be listening to both of you guys chat. Funny how things change and develop as time goes by. And how little you know about someone until they start talking. Keep on rocking!
