Dana White and announcing fights that fighters didn't agree upon - name a better duo.

[@beaualoevv]

he’s the boss he can say whatever he wants. maybe fighters should sue him for it oh wait, he is the boss

[@Deivisonfiggysson]

​@@beaualoevv but he's not the boss lol he has less power than a manager in the company

From that point on, Chael made it his mission to mispronounce every fighter’s name

Kale sonan after that phone call would never get another fighters name right again

[@BornIntoWealth]

That is hilarious and in turn [Kale] is butchering names galore now 😂😂😂

[@user-dh5ok1pf5m]

The next place he went was an alley behind GNC😂

[@studytechnology7871]

I really wished jon bones was a good on the mic like this even though I'm outta context

[@ramonlgarcia9036]

Well it's easy to be good on the mic when u lie all the time like chael. Try being good on the mic and another being allowed to lie as much as chael does. That's hard buddy. That's why chael has to lie so much, cus he isn't clever enough to amuze the audience without constantly lying

[@rockyevans1584]

​@ramonlgarcia9036 Jones comes across as dumb and lying about everything and it isn't even entertaining. Chaels funny for sure, and you'd have to be a dummy to believe anything he says. If what he did was easy, more guys would do it. It was very beneficial as he was a super boring fighter haha

[@ramonlgarcia9036]

@rockyevans1584 it's easy to lie. It takes no skills to lie. Chael isn't good or funny, man, he is just a liar. When u have to resort to lying to be funny and keep an audience, it is because u lack the skills to do it without the lies. And jones doesn't have to be good on the mic, Jones is the GOAT OF MMA. That's why we watch him. Half the people want to see jones lose and thr other half is happy to be witnessing history in the making every time joens enters the octogon

[@libertarianpunk8558]

Chael’s game is dated and wouldn’t work today. Look at Colby up there messing up his lines and not living up to the character

[@robert.....................-]

@@ramonlgarcia9036 So it's easy to be as entertaining and well spoken as Chael? Something tells me I could safely bet my house on you not having half his mic skills with all the lying in the world hahaha. You suck

[@JSmooove98]

Suddenly everything makes a lot more sense

[@zacharyandre8254]

What a Gangster!

[@krypttt]

dana says cael sownen and chael says islam macklechev

[@DLtheGreat]

The work is the best part of the story

[@JustinPoiere]

It's true it isn't fair that Dana announces fights before the fighters even know, but sometimes that helps. Putting pressure on guys like cereal gong or colby who duck everybody deserve to be forced to sign the contract.

[@GgCashh451]

docking pay is a good incentive for employees to work more hours lol should we do that as well? have some respect for the guys putting on the show

[@redfordreddington8834]

Cereal gong lmao

This is so hilarious😂

[@timforti]

because of this moment chael made it his life goal to mispronounce as many names as possible

[@user-on5qn3lw7i]

And a legend was born.

I thiught it was shale Son-in

Anderson Silva with a beard 👌

[@beaualoevv]

Jake Paul knocked him tf out. Jake Paul’s son

[@gregoryretzepis1798]

Jake Paul didn't knock him out at all. That fight went to a decision. Learn what a knockout is. Anderson Silva has more wins on his record than Jake Paul has fights.

[@beaualoevv]

@@gregoryretzepis1798silva literally hit the canvas bozo. maybe learn to read and understand boxing

Did they even have fights announced on ESPN back then?

Oh so now it makes sense the Khamzat interview.

So Chael mispronouncing fighter's name is definitely on purpose.

Its the schmo

Kale is good for you

[@bluntmagic9641]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@PriyanshAjania]

So announcing matchups before agreeing a deal with the fighters is an old thing

[@kingcrimson3882]

Chael vowed since then to never pronounce another fighter's name correctly

[@josepharmstrong5525]

I never spoke to dana on the phone....then proceeds to story of talking to dana on the phone?

[@Light-qi8ol]

epic

[@ARMY-ep6fz]

Uncle Chael can't say anything about butchering names. Some of the fighters names he butchers on purpose on his KZbin channel. It's become a running joke on how he pronounces some fighters names.
