Henry Cejudo talks to Chael Sonnen about the first time he became interested in MMA and the impact of wrestling coach Terry Brands had on his mindset and career.

[@ws8061]

I don't think non wrestlers appreciate just how fucking good Henry was and just how rare it is for a 20 y/o to forgo college wrestling and go straight for gold and suceed.

[@davidgdmz4551]

I was an average HS wrestler 40 yrs ago, believe me I realize how incredible and TOUGH this guy is.

[@kenonoke1395]

Omg I was just saying this literally the other day I was saying Spencer Lee & Henry people dont know this kid was dominant & didn’t go to college omg if he would’ve went to college & train like he did we would be talking 1 of the all time greats he won worlds & Olympics so

[@kch7051]

I do...the tragedy is just Henry can't stop being Henry. His accolades deserve hero status, and they would warrant it if he didnt choose to tell us that every second....it just could have meant so much more if he didnt annoyingly force feed it to all of us. This interview he is staying true to self...and that's refreshing. I shouldn't have to say that, it should be the norm, and if it were, he'd be more loved than everyone but Chael P Sonnen

[@kch7051]

@@kenonoke1395 I'd guess he got better training with the Olympic team and vs the world competition as opposed to any American college route- meaning, he wouldn't be better had he attended 4 years of college

[@chadh6855]

At the time, Olympic freestyle wrestling was just so different from college wrestling that it was felt that wrestling in college was useless for the Olympics compared to going to the Olympic training center and training solely for freestyle. At the time, freestyle was only 1 pt for a takedown and you had to win 2 of 3 periods. Nowadays the rules for the styles are so similar almost nobody foregoes college wrestling to train for the Olympics and those that do regret it.

[@user-me2gq7ym7o]

People talk about "Early Stoppage" with TJ and Henry. But No one talks about Fedor tapping verbally and Chael responding with a celebratory front flip (who wouldn't?), which then led to Chael "rope-a-doping" the last emperor until the fight was disastrously stopped moments before Chael was going to perform the first flying omoplata. smh.

What a great comment..

[@0309194m]

I laughed so much reading this...

[@bryanhawes1782]

LMFAO great comment

[@mmafyasco]

cejudo has the right mindset to compete at the highest levels. this is the reason chael is intrigued and wants to interview him. i like how cejudo thinks, he has a great mind for the sport and has not peaked in mma.

[@alexanderbmx]

When you start drinking your own coolaid is when it catches up.. Ask tj.. Making his fit to fight program online.. And then doing seminars for $$$ not only are you not growing as a mma fighter you are giving everyone the ins and out of your technique witch to a fighter as smart as henry and his team.. They eat tj up every time.. So its not a matter if did tj have a bad night? Its is tj him self doing everything for the right reasons like beforehand or at some point in his career.

[@Bucksfan2234]

Terry Brands. Iowa legend.

[@JS45678]

Kendall Cross, Oklahoma State legend & 1996 Olympic Gold Medalist. 😛

[@danielpeek9402]

These vids are great. Henry and chael have great chemistry.

[@Mistershongmail]

Ya, he comes of a lot more relaxed and likable with Chael than what I usually see.

[@A_R_T95]

Daniel Peek they’re both wrestlers most wrestlers get along

[@kch7051]

@@Mistershongmail i thought the exact same thing. really cool to actually like Henry outside his awful attempt at UFC schtick persona- Henry needs to just stay true to self in my opinion....if he can do that, he will be more recognized for the amazing things he accomplished

[@tarik567]

man i love hearing about old school wrestling stories. the hardest people i know are wrestlers and sometimes i wish i had half the grit they did

[@ryan-xj4hr]

Chael is such a good ambassador for the sport of wrestling. Henry too!

[@adrianflory4516]

I love all these interviews. You two are great talking together!

[@shogunjobu]

Chael 110% needs more shows...more of things like this...absolutely love it

[@glaxglax]

This is some of the best Chael content yet, love this new format.

[@greatstate58]

“World champ” *click* lol goosebumps.

[@acdclife94]

Crazy how just a few months ago chael was telling Henry to stop being so humble and talks smack and Henry blocked him on Twitter

[@joseestrada8656]

Really? I didnt know Henry briefly blocked Chael

[@wadestoss3325]

Well Henry took that advise, he even called TJ "BJ Dillashaw" lol

[@zackiaboy675]

i need more terry brands stories these are fantastic

[@strongforce79]

Love these stories

[@kallepikku4991]

“Wrestling is tougher than fighting” Completely agree with this statement. Most athletic sports ever. That's why Khabib wrestles and tires out anyone in the ring.

[@lj6011]

Love these guys

[@gravelgirls]

Hard work. Dedication.

[@JohnDoeses]

Cejudo is the goat

[@shogunjobu]

These story time things are my favorites.

That was great!

[@marcoleone8189]

Love it!

[@isaimedel8152]

Love the brands

[@ZGGuesswho]

this interview was great! i wish cejudo just stayed with this mindset and dropped the act on stage, he's smarter than that and I think folks would appreciate it.

[@Mistershongmail]

He's much more likable than usual in this interview haha

[@salsanchez1290]

Wow brands brothers are a mans mans group of guys I meant them back 2006 in Blair, Nebraska for wrestling camp in high school they are the most straight up no missing around type of guys I ever ment in my life they know folk style wrestling like no one else I ever ment love those guys they were a big part in my life help shape in to a man with one wrestling camp ill never forget what they taught me or how they treated me like I was one of them great guys. I'm 30yrs old now and i thank god my mom took me to that wrestling camp Ben Henderson was at that camp also as a helping hand at that camp.

[@yo2stix]

Sal Sanchez wrestling is the best. Played a massive part in my life after I was done in 1996. Taught me to grind, never give up. Best ever.

[@finerbiner]

I like Cael's coaching style.

[@chrislaverick6413]

The Brands brothers werent rough so much as they were intense and tenacious, they also had the best cardio I think i have ever seen, Now the schultz brothers on the other hand, THOSE guys were rough, I mean mark schults with just wrestling beat the piss out of gary goodridge, RIP Dave

[@kenonoke1395]

I would’ve love to see him & Spencer Lee go @ it

[@gravelgirls]

Love him or hate him, you gotta respect him.

[@Austin_DeSanto]

I bet you Desanto bouta be UFC champ in the future

[@mjg29x]

After winning an NCAA championship in 2022.

[@abg125]

Nelson has won FOUR tournaments and is undefeated btw...I named my dog “Nelson” for wrestling lol I gotta think that’s why Brands did it too

[@poolboyinla]

But how come he wasn't on the team this past year?

[@trilla1378]

I wish he wrestled for Iowa

[@alexanderbmx]

Toney Ferguson... Type of guy to win gold medal in Wrestling on seconds notice

[@jsvalina3503]

Interview Stipe miocic next.

[@davidgdmz4551]

Favorite story > Whats that ? its an orange soda coach. 5 months later overseas that guy loses a match by 1 point, Terry Brands walks up > Looks like the orange soda came back and bit you in the ass BOOM BOOM BOOM LOL

[@superduty2023]

Tito tapped!!!!!!!

[@rossr1804]

Finally, Henry has his chance to share the experience of getting beat up by chael's son

[@nuncasefue3632]

Knew he’d pull off a cringe moment at the end 👌🏽

[@frawldog]

Wish you would have kept wrestling

[@davidhowe3470]

Hilarious!

[@brandonsflowers8211]

Whittaker will crush Gastelum

[@mmafyasco]

i will honestly be surprised if whittaker is still conscious after the 3min mark. people talk about how tough he was going 5 rounds twice with romero twice, they have zero idea how quickly gastelum will finish the fight. i dont make predictions often, but i dont see whittaker even getting past the 3 minute mark with gastelum, no way.

[@SR-lh4rm]

Gastelum has never been knocked out. If Gastelum avoids those leg kicks in Whittaker's combinations, he should be the new champion.

[@brandonsflowers8211]

Y’all only saying that because daddy chael is rooting for him lmaoooo

[@ventwilliams3352]

Archduke Franz Ferdinand smh lol you sound crazy. Whittaker is just the overall better fighter FACE IT. Has way more mma fighting experience, wayyy more athletic, obviously faster, wayyyy better striker. anyyybody can win but either way Whittaker is still OBVIOUSLY the best fighter. What do you think romero would do to gastelum. You and anyyybody know what romero would do to gastleum. He wld overpower him out wrestle him and stop him Easilyyy. And look how hard it was for romero to take Whittaker down. Ans romero is easilyyyy top 3 best mma wrestlers EVER and a OLYMPIC and even he cldnt take whittaker down easily so how do you expect gastleum to do it when Whittaker WANTS the fight standing. Like i said anyyybody can win a fight but either way Whittaker is just overall a wayyy better fighter. Face it

[@santoshghimire3426]

Can you accomplish NIKKI BELLA, HENRY??

[@Th3Chuzzl3r]

Imagine if Terry Brands would have done MMA, I guarantee he would of beat the shit out of Matt Hughes.

[@theJoefamilychannel]

Chael did u go down on bended knee?!?!?!?;?! Lol

[@stephen8612]

Henry is actually standing up in these videos.

Tony Ferguson is the type of guy to tell Dana White he earned 50k for the night

DENIED

[@stephenleskow7959]

Chael is the type of badass who knocks on Henry any chance he gets but yet has him in for an interview lol

[@ridizzle189]

You mean giving him advice? But hey by all means add to the legend that is chael I'm with you there lol

[@letsbereal7897]

“Wrestling is tougher than fighting”....🤔🤔🤔hmmmm....

[@markguzman7412]

Have you ever wrestled? I have and I'm not 100% sure because I've only fought one muay thai fight and it was short. But you can't get knocked out in wrestling, you can get pinned or teched if you're a quitter but it can get exhausting beyond belief. EDIT: you can get knocked out in wrestling but not as often and it's not supposed to happen

[@letsbereal7897]

Mark Guzman I have, not competitively, but from a training standpoint..it’s obviously not far off, & I get what you mean when it comes to a long competitive match..But ask someone who’s fought a 4 or 5 round MMA fight what it’s like to go back-and-forth. 2 pro’s whom have high level college wrestling backgrounds,trying to throw punches and kicks after a true fundamental wrestling exchange both against the cage and on the ground..body shots both on the ground, and standing up...have you ever had someone work your body, for 3-4 rounds?Talk about draining, wow...
