Because he would study all the things that are normal nowadays. He was always open to new things. Listen to his talks about distance, tempo, traps etc and you soon realise he is no ordinary fighter.

As apposed to becoming stressed, egotistical and emotional...which inhibits the mind and as a result, the full potential of the body. The foundation of humility is control of ones thoughts and the foundation of respect is being aware of your surroundings and appreciating both, the potential for innocence and and deadly violence which exists within each surrounding you encounter.

How can you not like Chael

[@gunsnhex5636]

Well explained Chael!!! "No good deed goes unpunished..." Which according to Wikipedia is a commentary on the frequency with which acts of kindness backfire on those who offer them. In other words, those who help others are doomed to suffer as a result of THEIR being helpful... Bas is a legend and a hero. Even in the era of the 1 hour news cycle, the "casuals" and the keyboard warriors, there is still a requirement for a REAL man. From what you've described, and from what I have read and heard from OTHER sources, (like your good self I am consumed by ALL things MIXED MARTIAL ARTS journalism, podcasts & general social media.... Bas was "SOCIALLY HACKED" His good nature was COMPLETELY taken advantage of. I believe that ALL followers of combat sport, should propagate Mr Sonnen's description of "The Bas situation" (Chael's NOT always the BAD guy, he is ONLY Colby Covington's REAL FATHER !😉, (JOKING MOFOS!!!) I believe WE should show the legend that is Bas, that we ALL have HIS BACK too... Let's show solidarity in OUR sport, forget about the Entertainment era or Hollywood pretentiousness, don't let ONE of OUR own get fucked over... Let's just get the word out there... Please share video... Thanks again Chael

Never heard Chael being so respectful to anyone. Well at least anyone else than Randy Couture and Neil Melanson. Thank you for sharing this story.

I love these videos. I always stop what I’m doing and watch these talks

[@zachk8305]

A great story about an MMA legend. And Bas Rutten

[@Red_AIert]

"You never thanked me" That's f*cking so epic! 😂 I could see pulling some shit like that on a friend but only Chael Sonnen could do that to Bas Rutten and take the risk that Bas would get it. 👊🏽👍🏼 #BadGuyINC

The King of pancakes has a good sense of humor.👍

@@ghostofsparta6579 Silva tapped in the 5th round and Chael demanded and apology. That made the ref mistake Chael's voice as a verbal tap wich made him stop the fight. True story. This really happened.

It's sad and crazy how quickly some "Fans" turned against him. If you truly followed Bas Rutten for any length of time, you would understand his honor code and character. Straight shooter always, true Martial Artist, and highly respected for a reason. Read some messed up comments about Bas during the scandal "He was in on it"..."Bas got paid didn't he"..."Bas is a liar and screwed the Fighters over"... Blah blah blah. These are people who just WAIT for you to stumble and fail, then go on attack mode. But again, if you were a true fan, you would know better. Not for ONE second believed Bas screwed the Fighters over personally, or was in on any type of scam. So glad he has shown proof, has done these recent interviews with all the details and facts. Now the same haters... CRICKETS. Good for you backing Bas Chael and telling it like it is.

One of my recommended videos is “how to calculate square footage”.

[@kestermyronsoldmcmanager1273]

Is it just me, or when I watch chael I feel like he’s talking to me? Not just a KZbin audience but to the Mma fan soul inside us? I feel like I’m having a one on one with him, that’s just amazing story telling maybe. Like this is my uncle telling me some important shit with all the right angles

[@ZenDragonYoutubeChannel]

The honour and respect goes much deeper than "Hollywood". It's part of bushido.

[@mikemilla9015]

When Chael speaks......I Listen! 👍💯

[@JerseyMiller]

El Guapo is lucky uncle Chael didn't turn him into El Muerto.

[@mr.t1057]

Chael doesn't want to get kicked in the liver by bas. You must not know bas is one of the the baddest men
