Guys please make the thumbnail better. GOOD GUY BAD GUY NEEDS TO BE IN BIGGER TEXT

[@HYPEMANTV0]

Facts !! Atleast they put the name in the thumbnail so looks like they are listening 😂

[@PMaslak23]

new drinking game: take a shot every time DC mentions he's from lafayette louisiana 😂😂😂

[@rikki6]

He hasn't lived there in forever lol. Dustin poirier buggs him about it now and then.

I’ll do one better…every time Chael mentions West Linn, Oregon.

[@charlescharlemagne4907]

these two vibe so well together. Both from that old school wrestling background before social media. Its unreal that they would choose a football guy to talk about MMA originally.

[@ItsAxeI]

ESPN needs to fix up their thumbnail game

[@connorchilds8502]

Just look for the good guy/bad guy logo

There’s independent MMA KZbin channels with more professional looking ones 🙄😆woke/DCI really is bleeding Disney dry🤔

Why are the titles to this great podcast so terrible?

For Real. Least they could do is put good guy/bad guy at the beginning. Maybe number the episodes.

well all the other matches were legend v legend. nick vs strickland just random af

Jon vs. Liddell would not even be a real fight - Jon would have destroyed Liddell in every facet of fighting!!

[@sagasica]

I think it would be closer than people think it is.

[@miguelladinodevera614]

​@@sagasicagrew up watching both guys but if prime Iceman went up against younger Bones, Chuck would have to insure his knees. I'm serious. Get the kneecaps insured and then have a funeral for them after the fight.

[@crazypato3752]

El Cucuy vs The Eagle would had been a barn burner, no doubt they greatest in LW division history

It certainly seems this way but always had Khabib winning a one sided decision.

What's with that echo espn? Come on.

[@benmcreynolds8581]

Yeah I enjoy tuning in to watch these 2 talk about the sport but how can ESPN not figure out how to get the audio dialed in? This has been going on for a while now.. They have so much money. What is going on?

[@OJ-1Kenobi]

Let’s just be appreciative that it’s two mma legends, and not rc and dc.

It's on Chael side because of him having the shiw feed open and not muting it twitch streamers do it all the time and nobody's blaming twitch 😅

Love this segment. Keep up the great work ESPN and Chael/DC

[@wesorcutt3402]

I love usman, but he got 2 free title defenses against mazvidal who didn't even belong in there. So his record is a little padded.

Does anyone have the link to the promo? I can't find the promo they're talking about anywhere

[@wyattrobinson2349]

Happy birthday uncle Cheal! Who would win in a fight, Francis Ngannou or three Henry Cejudos?

[@rikki6]

3 cejudo for sure. 2 would be sacrifices lol.

[@gustaco1738]

I signed off when DC said he was watching Wrestlemania instead.

[@exposingtimes9570]

Hypothetically, Do you think Zhang Weili at her current age could have success playing American high school football? Why or why not?

[@benmcreynolds8581]

I do think that Weili is the best and most entertaining WMMA fighter now. Stamp Fairtex is one of the other elite one's. It's a rare feat these days

Where do I find this “forever young promo”?

[@alperensengun6832]

This show is so good

[@Leo-gh7nz]

I know MMA math doesn't work, but every single common opponent Jones and Liddell had, Jones beat and Liddell got finished by. Rampage, Shogun, and Rashad. The latter two were at tail end of career, but Chuck lost to Rampage twice in his prime. EDIT: Forgot about Vitor, Chuck did beat him so there's that I guess.

[@Cilent__]

Any argument for Chuck winning is definitely based in respect for the pioneers and nostalgia. Anyone being honest and non-bias knows exactly how that fight would go.

[@Leo-gh7nz]

@@Cilent__ I love Chuck, my favorite fighter back then. But he was aided in his UFC legacy by Pride being a separate legit org back then that arguable had more LHW talent during Chuck's reign. Shogun, Rampage, Wanderlei, Hendo, etc.

[@Evan-gi1hs]

MMA math is fine to use here. jones made everyone from chuck's generation look like they didn't belong. jones was just a completely different evolution, both in terms of skill and size/athleticism.

[@geraldfriend256]

@@karlricardo4088Thanksfor that, hilarious stats. So…. If you follow Cejudo’s matchups he eventually beat the man who beat the men who beat the man who beat Ali. Therefore Triple Cringelord Cejudo is… wait for it…… the. …… GREATEST COMBAT ATHLETE OF ALL TIME.

So good that these are 45 min long. . . now how about ESPN shell out enough to get them some decent cameras, mics and a real intro/music?

[@closinginonclosure]

The audio department needs to get it together. To be an ESPN show and hear DC and Chael's audio of them hearing each other in the background on a delay. Give these guys ear pieces for their audio ffs. Amateurs.

[@connorchilds8502]

I thought it was the real suga too 😅that’s why we tune in

[@charlescharlemagne4907]

DC really put Rey Mysterio and Roman Reigns on the list and left out Stone Cold. Stone cold had the biggest mainstream buzz out of any wrestler ever. Only Hogan or the Rock were close.

[@godisgoodgodisgreat3434]

the rock wasn’t bigger then stone cold ? that’s surprising i’m not that educated on wwf/wwe so im genuinely asking ik the rock is in hollywood now that’s why i say that

Thank you boys! Happy birthday day uncle chael, question : do you guys think if Tony Ferguson didn’t cut weight twice to fight Justin would he have been champion?

[@spencerdunn6933]

Pretty sure the newer generation would whomp the older generation. Tough doesn't beat technical. The new guys have just continually built upon the old. Somehow the calf kick is some new undiscovered weapon. It's crazy. I don't know how anyone argues for the OG fighters. You go back and watch old UFC it looks one notch away from streetbeefs.

[@theywouldnthavetocensormei9231]

It's like comparing modern mountain climbers to the first people to ever climb mountains. People today can do it way faster, but the first people to do it were writing the blueprint for everyone who did it after them.

[@logo3992]

Evolution is in every sport. People are crazy to deny it.

[@Evan-gi1hs]

it's also wrong to claim the newer generation isn't "tough". we saw jones nearly get his arm snapped and suffer a compound fracture in his toe, and still go on to dominate the fight.

ESPN production needs to step up man. Sound lag everytime the hosts pass the floor, theres a 2 second pause. The past epsiodes have this issue as well. Bedroom podcasts solved this 15 years ago. Ditch the bells and rings, its annoying. No one can even explain their points. Have someone in the hosts ears to move on or embrace the internet podcast format and freeflow

[@STKPYL]

Usman is great. No doubt. But sooooo much of his accolades are inflated by recency bias. His resume is already aging like milk. He has five defences: two are by Journeyman Jorge, an overblown lightweight in Gilbert (who dropped him), and two from Colby, which were probably his only signature wins. Even his fight before his title fight was against a post-prime RDA (another lightweight).

[@user-bc5jz1vs2f]

Stone cold should be on that list that’s crazy

dc no matter how it happen no matter your emotions no matter your prep you never beat jon jones idc how much he hurt fan feelings legacy etc.etc. you ran into someone you at your best and him at his worse that you cannot get over but u put on a great show and i loved that fight more the build up too it but still and i admire u being able to talk about him without sounding to much as a hater which is why i think u are one of the greatest in sport analyst
