How could anybody who gets hit in the head for a living be as sharp and well spoken as Chael Sonnen.

[@hallo73828]

Its easy really. Just throw the fight as soon as you start to lose

[@scottrick90210]

28-15 and this guys loses to tito joke fedor the man

[@chrisweber6090]

scott carter fedor lost to Bigfoot Silva and Fabio Maldonado lol clown

[@AndreaRoll]

well he was mainly a wrestler. He hide the head, boxe little and go to the ground, i guess you overall get less damage than a Chuck Lydell style of fighting

[@solidcake3401]

@@scottrick90210 47-0 made Fedor quit knocked machida out

[@BlakGoose]

Chael "I can't let you get close" Sonnen

[@Anshaal_]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA was just thinking that

[@RemingtonSteel]

That wad nice. And then when get got on top of Silva one of Silva's minions started punching Chael in the head. Wtf

[@drunk_towin16]

Swoon

[@GalactusOG]

Canelo GGG 3 was dope.

[@bizz210]

i really enjoy how Chael can get out of any situation and look like a winner.

[@Anvil35]

Tye Bell STILL UNDEFEATED AND UNDISPUTED

[@bustarhymes6188]

Won the fight against anderson 49-46. anderson won the round

[@GalactusOG]

To this day.

[@nicktoosaucey8685]

" I have 2 balls, he has 2 balls " wise words from wanderlei Silvia 😂😂

[@TheWindstorm2012]

Chael is the kind of person I would listen to for hours while talking about anything.

[@HipHopAn0n]

Yep he has insane verbal skills

[@Blake900]

His show is great. I listen to it when I'm playing an easy game, or it's slow at work. Can't get enough. He's so easy to listen to, even when he's dead wrong.

[@bravonana10]

Bet you’re loving his videos nowadays lol

[@DJBusta]

how do you listen to someone while talking about anything 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@eemgaleerus7913]

@@DJBusta you make no sense. You're doing the contrarian thing which is what teenagers who just learned how to think for themselves love doing except you all don't do it properly cause it's new to you. I know ita exciting and all, but you need to learn how to pick and choose. You'll learn how to adjust it in a few years. Until then, you're the one who sounds cringe. He said nothing wrong. You're trying too hard. Too forced. And men dont use emojis let alone multiple. It shows weakness. He made you angry for nothing. Peace.

[@chrisredfield6274]

I can't believe this man beat prime Anderson Silva, Jon Jones AND Fedor. Champion in 3 different weight classes. Incredible.

[@jlcmw3]

chael is so honest it's crazy

[@physcobuny]

how am i supposed to trust someone named two-face

[@watsthislifefor]

All these people falling for Chael's schtick makes me laugh. This is a man that tried to defraud the government; he's a money launderer. He lost his real estate license and could no longer run for public office.

[@mikelitschauer9368]

walklikeaduck you're the only one falling for the gimmick, mark.

[@watsthislifefor]

Key word here: schtick. Stop parroting Front Row Brian schmuck.

[@brixtonmystery]

I love that about him too

[@rbk915]

24:58 When Chael starts talking about Wand

[@ian5956]

the "p" stands for "icon"

[@Hollman36]

Ian hahaa!!

[@eddya.3776]

There's a good chance that it was actually Joe Rogan doing his Vanderlai impersonation which is spot on.

[@ineedmoney121]

"i am a man, he is a man. i have a 2 balls, he has a 2 balls, lets do that" - wanderlei "the poet" silva

[@caryjane9786]

I literally didn't understand one word Wanderlai said lol

[@bigbadalastor]

the only thing I understood was "...bye!"

How many languages do you speak?

@@stennilsen9584 what do u expect from a guy who was in no glove mma fights with no holds barred (vale tudo) and never blocks when fighting as well as had a 25 win streak because of aggressive rushing without blocking his face ever.

[@sniper11n.d.34]

Chael Sonnen looks way happier than he was with the UFC.

[@JanoyCresva]

Chael is a true Man of Oregon.

[@septv9995]

Janoy Cresva 💯💯💯

[@torres0230]

Janoy Cresva what does that mean?

[@jobbermania]

Ariel seriously always gets the best stuff out of Chael. I think that's what I missed the most when he was suspended. Gotta love their chemistry together.

[@karanespanol011]

shouldn't have let Wand call in during a Chael interview, bad move Helwani

[@michaelnemeth5242]

I'm sure he did it to cause drama but I didn't care for that

[@stennilsen9584]

Very bad move.

[@JoelMiller626]

great podcast. Chael is awesome! if Rogan leaves UFC I would love to see Chael take his place. there's no replacing Rogan but Chael is the closest one to do it in my opinion!✌👍😎🏅

[@leafuh4134]

Joel Miller I agree.

[@JoelMiller626]

Yeah, I also like Dan Hardy.. good point! 👍

[@jwinds7078]

Brian Stann could do it too!

[@whiskeySe7en]

much respect to cruz but he doesnt have the same charisma. Extremely intelligent and observant yes, but chael is more entertaining

[@daniel213141]

How about Sonnen and Cruz?

[@DavidSmith-bl8ox]

Wanderlei reminds me of a real life Homer Simpson.

[@michaelnemeth5242]

That's great!😂

[@internetpolice1166]

'You've lost to some of the greatest ever'.....that pretty much sums up Chael's career.

[@FIELDROX]

even chael knew he was going to lose all those fights, but he made more money in those than you''ll ever see

[@internetpolice1166]

Funaki .Chidori Who cares about the money? We're talking about mixed martial arts here. If what you're saying is Chael is taking brain damage specifically just for a paycheck and not to win than he may make more money than most of us, but by the time he is 60 he won't even recognize his wife from all the TBI.

[@KCdeathbat]

chael beat up bisbing... the current middleweight champ...

[@MrFredstt]

He was so close to winning many of them too

[@unclerico7271]

Great career, no damage, lotsa $, and we STILL haven't heard of u @InternetPolice

[@R3li]

best episode yet. ya'll got serious chemistry.

[@ufcwwe4135]

Best episode ever. Cheal realy cares about the business and thats a rare n good thing.

[@jeroenbats5955]

Love this interview! Chael is such a nice and wellspoken guy. Chael was being really honest and open and then Wanderlei called. It was not a good timing.. even without saying anything to Wanderlei, Chael makes him look like a cool. Chael understands the fightbusiness better than anyone. Like to listen to him and also how he respects Ariel. After the nosejoke Ariel made he was respectful.

[@silasvarela6931]

Hats off to Chael for continuing the interview cordially after seeming a bit put off by what could have been a scripted call in from Wanderlei. Great interview.

[@deanacer7736]

Chael bullshit's a lot but he is a good guy!!

[@MrBikboi]

That Paulo fight in WEC Chael got robbed, that was an incredibly impressive performance by Chael P/

[@Wondermouth1]

Love him or hate him.. The dude knows how to sell a fight. A natural born pro wrestler! lol

[@chris7662]

A total pleasure listening to this man's intellect. Very well spoken and seems honest and straight to the point. I only wish he'd go stomp the crap outta Joe "Globe Head" Rogan!

[@BSBLVDvideo]

Loved this interview!

[@lartdelavivre1]

Chael Sonnen can really talk until the glass eyes sleep - only Wanderlei makes him speechless.

[@dadaphouqe2689]

MMA fans be like argue with me about anything

[@KCdeathbat]

let me tell you something about uncle chael... He made him self who he is.. he was McGregor long before connor. He has some losses but this guy has real skills

[@butch1dc]

Losses??? He’s undefeated and undisputed. Never lost a round. He saw someone throw a candy wrapper on the ground at a park in west Linn. You don’t grow up in such tough conditions and have any losses

[@codenamexp6383]

there will be no interim title fights on the PPV card, so i will not buy.

[@devonh00]

2 legit 2 quit that's dumb. These are two. Iconic fights! Who cares if no shmuck belt is on the line

[@ThatHiddenTreasure]

Chael is the best

[@Mr123456roy]

Are you not entertained by chael p sonnen? he delivers every time. more of the same please.

[@torres0230]

Besides Chael having the first moment I've ever witnessed, when he said sometimes I'm faking it till I'm making it, the line of the night was Ariels "tell Joel to keep my name out of his mouth". Classic interview

[@allkeysmusic7771]

Mr . THANK YOU. YOU ARE THE BEST CIVILIZED FIGHTER THAT CAN TALK MORE THAN YOU CAN FIGHT. YOUR LOGIC IS JUST UP THERE BUDDY. I LOVE LISTENING TO YOU ANYTIME EVERY TIME. OTHER ONE IS MR BUKOWSKI....

[@michaelgutschow9198]

Chael said " But I knew what time it was " That is a direct quote from Joey Diaz that chae l liked and said specifically... " I had never heard that term before, but I plan on using it the rest of my life"

[@RubinRudeboyCarter]

Michael Gutschow common phrase

[@Facts_Machine.]

chael said that espn reporter "knew what time it was" lol he got that phrase from Joey Diaz.

"I have two balls, he has two balls, let's do this thing" - Wanderlei Silva (At least I think that's what he said, I don't speak broken fighter English 🤣)

[@karlvonklutz6867]

I like both UFC and Bellator and will watch any MMA but, as of late, Bellator has been really catching my attention. They have some good young talent in the lighter divisions and should headline them more on their shows and move the geriatric HW's to a seperate telecast.

[@constructivecritique4049]

Ol' Wandy, sounds like that onion of his has been in one too many sparring sessions. Used to, you could halfway understand him. But, not anymore. And, him not coming to the press conference? I think he didn't want to have a run-in with the NY State Athletic Commission for a drug screen. I figure he's juiced to the gills, down there in Brazil.

[@JasonVictorEverett]

It's so strange how Silva ended up somehow making everyone root for Sonnen when it was supposed to be the opposite

[@bigroaststyrone8135]

Is it strange? I mean this is mushmouth Wanderlei Silva we’re talking about

[@waalex11]

[@ComoncentsTV]

Love Chael but you can't believe a word he says sometimes. I think thats the problem with having an amazing podcast like he does. He is so honest on it that he lets people know "I had to be a company guy so I had to say those things..." He is such a good guy.

I believe Tito tapped. Can't stand Ortiz,and love Chael, so I am definitely bias, so maybe but, sure looks possible. Glad Tito is outie! Chael looked great the next try vs Silva.

[@SinkMMA]

Back when Helwani was actually a journalist

[@BenRangel]

"Worlds most famous arena" Only if you don't count stadiums. Wembley has to be the internationally most famous sporting location. MSG is just about hockey and basketball, no "world sports" like football (that's soccer for you yanks)

[@seanxxx8999]

BenRangel No its definitely MSG. In America no where else exists remember

You dont IV steroids. Gear usually comes as tablets or injectables, not IVs.

[@scottg5529]

LOL - meaning of ‘IV’, and I quote “according to Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, "situated, performed, or occurring within or entering by way of a vein." IV and injectables mean the same thing there bud. Injectable steroids are taking IntraVenously (IV).

[@barrygoldwater360]

26:41 Chael's story has changed. In former interviews he claims he did not understand Silva's broken English in that van, so he didn't know he was being threatened. Now Chael is admitting he understood what was happening and it was weird.

[@idkmybffjv]

Adelita Phoenix are you telling me Chael Sonnen has a tendency to embellish or fabricate parts of a story for entertainment purposes?

[@barrygoldwater360]

Not for entertainment purposes. He tried not to make it sound like he wasn't the coward that he appeared to be in that van.

Stand up guys! Much appreciated ! (Even with the whole wanderlei bitt falling flat and missing horrifically badly). One last final note....we all know why wanderlei isn’t showing up to the big to dos coming up? The guy is ashamed and scared as hell cause he has been juiced like a kindergartnen tee ball tournament , the guy literally juiced so hard his brain has solidified and hardened like a piece of mahogany in a bowling alley and he is afraid to get called out or arrested or sued for being such a loser scumbag dooche bag to the sport and the people it involves .. prove me wrong somebody. I double dog Brazil with rabies dare ya!

[@duncansteele2688]
