Uncle Chael giving us his epic 40 minute monologues as per usual

[@malteadotas4]

while almost making his throat explode in the process

[@kevincarrigan2798]

Haha I feel like he loves to hear himself talk. But I can't blame him cuz I do too. Heck half the time I zone out but love those monologues cuz I keep coming back.

Just let this episode go down in the history books.

I agree. But I’d bet chael has something contractually that forbids it.

You're getting sensations?

[@markhendry3996]

Chael gets a lot of sarcastic love and some people like him for his nonsense but, genuinely, the guy is as entertaining as they come. I am a big, big fan.

[@jamest3085]

@Jules Verne shame he cant pick a winner lol

[@SkuIIKn1ght]

Indeed, meeting Chael is definitely on my bucket list

[@johnmarkson1998]

@Jules Verne brain damage. chael in his prime was a master entertainer. recently he has had less of a point in his content but chael over his career is a legend.

[@Krogrosen]

[@alexisfigueroa2629]

This is a way better format for these two than Ariel and the Bad Guy on ESPN! I would love to see this at least once a quarter. Monthly would be better. Same with DC. They could all Benefit. Dare I even say new round table with Ariel, Chael, DC, and Bisping?!

[@kbc5856]

Yes please

[@joondagoon6774]

Ariel and the bad guy was too quick not enough time to talk

[@lebronchainz]

Get the mma beat back!! With this lineup ariel!

[@FruitTool]

Not dc. Ariel and Chael still have "it" but DC has changed. He's a puppet for corporate now. Both when calling fights and doing his shows. He pushes narratives planted by his employers. It's just too obvious and overdone now. Chael and Ariel have a special chemistry and bring way more intelligence than DC.

[@desmundlighten3603]

Let it be said let it be DONE

I love this. Can't wait to watch it. The story Ariel tells about Chael staying on the bus with him when he was just getting started is one of my favorites.

[@user-nj1zu2nf1x]

Got a link?

[@philliphampton5183]

@@user-nj1zu2nf1x Unfortunately no. He's told it a few times though. He definitely said it on one of his early episodes of this reboot show as well. Basically I believe someone (maybe dana?) had all the fighters get off at one place but made Ariel stay on to go to the other entrance or something. And Uncle Chael stayed with him instead of getting off with the rest. Something along those lines. If you find it link me up haha. I love that story.

[@Tejaybe]

@@philliphampton5183 Im pretty sure it was when Ariel just got started at ESPN, they both was there to work, and UFC offered Chael a VIP-Pass, but not to Ariel. Chael got pissed off and felt they didnt show respect to Ariel, so he didnt want it, he walked and waited with Ariel instead. The Bad Guy with a real G move

Chael is the best. For real. I live in Oregon too. Chael is awesome. I enjoyed seeing Ariel getting his credit. He's a good dude.

[@ahikernamedgq]

It's really smart of Jake Paul to take this fight. Even if Woodley KO's him, Jake wins. Jake has already proven that he's a boxer. Not a top contender, but a serious boxer. IF he is beaten and KO'd by a heavy handed ex Champ like Woodley, who can blame Jake? Tyrone has knocked for real fighters out; he's old (like Uncle Chael), but Tyrone is still a stunning athlete. People want to see Jake knocked out. He wins either way.

[@AliKhan-sy9jy]

Okay.

If he loses the fury fight doesn’t disappear because no one rates Tommy highly anyway

[@imKhokie]

This interview is one of many examples of why Ariel is the best in the business

[@floatinggoose9197]

Exactly. So few journalists do it all, and he does each thing better than anyone. He listens, learns, does research, doesn't clickbait, doesn't backpeddle his opinions, sells an honest story, has probably the best Name/event memory in the entire industry. "Hey Ariel, what event was UFC 78?" Ariel : "Friday, Nov 16th 2007, Rashad and Bisping had a controversial headline and Frankie beat Spencer Fisher and the gate was....." Dudes a machine
