"Doesn't matter if you beat me up for 20 minutes and I won 5 seconds, but it was a submission and I won". Sonnen still thinking about that first Silva fight 💀
😭😭😭
Of course that one gotta sting a bit everyday for him dude dominated a guy at the time people didn't think could even have a close fight with someone and it doesn't matter
Yeah but he was saying that there didn't need to be a rematch. That Silva could put him in his rear view mirror.
No shit 🤡
I would do it too. He promised his dead father to win it. Its your lifetime goal. I wouldnt get over it too.
Hit me with the Mackle Chef in the first second lmaoo 😂😂
Baklava Chef
I went back just to hear it 🤣
Shavkat vs Islam would be insanity!
He won’t fight a wrestler his size
True. But let Shavkat vs Covington will sell more ppv. Shavkat wins most likely vs Covington.
@@4.6lexus83heck no. After Colby’s performance , I doubt people are going to take him too serious going forward.
islam wont fight Shavkat, same religion and region. Brothers
@@albertocruz6876 Shavkat is a lot bigger than Islam.
I hope he does.
Would be interesting to see Leon vs Makhachev.
Islam folded him fast when they trained together
Islam blankets him for five rounds easily that’s why he’s so confident about it
Islam malls him for 3 rounds then Submits him in the 4th
Money is on Islam-no doubt.
Leon out points him for one-sided decision
Makachev vs Shavkat would be a dream fight
*Mauklechev according to chael
@@uradeekhead And "blehal" lol
Shavkat would expose him so hard Islam would get flashbacks to the Adriano Martins fight
@@ByTexify Lmao these bandwagon hoppers prolly don’t know that guy lost twice to amateur wrestlers before his UFC days 😂😂
Imagine what a 170lbs Makachev will do to him.
@@caspeansea9619who cares what happened before the UFC? Leon lost to Usman how long ago? but the last two fights knocked him out and then beat his ass for 25 minutes. get a grip
Belal is punching the air right now 😂
shavkat should be before belal
Shavkat is getting next tittle shot 100%
Real
@@mu3addz594 shavkat gonna be out for a while
@@mu3addz594 legit curious, why should Belal be passed over?
What about Justin? Even though he lost to Charles, that already feels a distant memory after what he did to Fiziev and that Dustin head kick KO.
He deserves the shot.
The others been a merry go round. Gamrot beat Arman who beat Benny who beat Gamrot
Justing vs Islam is an interesting match. I do think Islam edges him out but still a worthy fight to make.
@@JustChill-zd4ib Ya, I agree on the result but it's just that Justin deserves it and it's a new fight for Islam
@@TheShroudedYou’re stupid asf if you think geathje stands a chance against Islam. Geathje can’t grapple in the slightest he may aswel retire. Charles is the guy right now.
Justin vs islam would be the best, and arman vs olives would be classy af, I believe arman tied with gamrot if not won
@@RyukenXX Defo Yes to Arman v Olives. That's a right banger both on the feet and on the ground. There'll be blood and guts on the mat if they last 3 rounds
I vote for the Super Fight @ UFC300: Makhachev vs Edwards.
I called that few weeks ago.
Once Dana said I’m waiting for things to play out lol
That would be amazing.. but its during Ramadan so there is no chance of it happening.
that's a can-crushing fight
@@zachjohnston1392I called that when islam became champ
The fact chael still calls him macklechev is too funny
However Chael pronounces your name is the correct one. Lol
@@jefflemaster2850 Sounds good to me LOL
He calls pereira "piera"
Islam vs Shavkat would be insane fight of the decade!! I have no idea who would win wow
I respect Islam for the weight change and the challenge that is. I'm not a huge fan or hater but I like fighters who want to challenge themselves. He's got my RESPECT🏆
I also agree with skipping Charles because I hate rematches 🤷
Never disappoints to bring Charles Oliveira to the conversation 😂
for what? i don't understand all these charles meat rider, he did nothing in the fight, its not like the firs volk vs islam where volk should've won, Charles was dominated
@@undadakneenever heard someone sound bright and dumb at the same time but ok
@@undadakneeI was with you until I wasn't lol
I don’t see Charles getting through Tsarukyan or Volk. Charles is lucky Volk is done with 155.
Charles ain't touching Gold. Dustin or Gaethje win in a rematch using Olive Branch logic. Plus Arman gonna eat good if they match him with olive
2:21 this sounded too specific Chael 🤔 😂
And to think a few days ago people were saying Islam vs Colby would be competitive. Islam would dominate and I think Islams 170 debut would give anyone a hard time
We also don't know how powerful he is at 170. Might be a monster or not as dominant who knows
@@JustChill-zd4ibhe gon be more dominant since he cut less weight
Guy fought with a broken foot. He may be a turd but that wasn’t Colby.
@@gordonschiff3621 okay 🤌🏻
@@ihatecats3470No, he will fight bigger people now and that’s what makes up the differences he cuts to 155 to be able to bully the fighters there cause they are smaller. But Volk showed he’s not as good as people think. Now bigger people will expose him.
Makhachev/Edwards
Shavkat/Belal
same card - book it💯
I want to see Islam v Leon - the two with longest unbeaten streaks to go after it!
Shavkat has a much longer winning streak compared to Leon.
@@wendigo1881not in ufc
Apparently Islam ragdolled Leon easily but it Was in 2015 though. Both developed. Islam not cutting much is a big big Bonus for him. He will be as if not faster than Leon. He already one of fastest at lw. He isnt smaller than Leon.
@@zoro8117isn’t smaller than Leon 😂 Leon is 6’ 2 jacked with a small waist making him have the most aesthetic physique on the planet
@@Smoshylife islam is bulkier and is 5 10. If islam gets Leon in Clinch its deadly for Leon, at ground too.
Guys its almost 2024 and I still don't know what a blu-haul is...
I think it’s total disrespect because his name isn’t hard to say at all 😂
Leon vs Makolchebh will be crazy!!
I’m a huge Islam fanboy but I believe people are underestimating Leon. He’s a really good striker, and his wrestling grappling skills might not be at Islam’s level, but he can handle himself just fine.
Leon looked awfully comfortable against Colby. Being Champ might have taken his fire away.
I just think Colby wasnt really pressuring him so he decided to play it safe. I agree though he should have been trying to take Colby out. @@bobdolesghost2406
Are u really comparing Colby to Islam? Islam has major submission threat. Colby and Usman didn't have this. Striking will be interesting. Islam is defensive and likes countering...but so does Leon. He'll grapple and wrestle him to the ground.
The sooner islam moves up the worse it is for his legacy, to win the belt and move up having never defended it against a lightweight contender would not only delegitimise his cause for going up but also leave a huge asterix next to his lightweight championship. Islam could easily defend the 155 strap another couple times before moving up which would make a champ v champ superfight more compelling along with surpassing khabib making him the greatest lightweight we've ever seen, then to move up once achieving that hes already well on track to full fledged goat status.
I think he doesn't want to surpass khabib legacy in light weight. But moving up and become champ in WW will make him a greater fighter than Khabib
@@javiermagana6364 having the most title defences in a division is far more meaningful than a belt in 2 divisions. Gsp, jones and mighty mouse are considered the best ever cause of their title defences, Jones and gsp added to that existing reputation by moving up a division years after their reign. Anderson, Fedor, Aldo and Khabib are all further up the goat list than guys like DC, Pereira, Connor or Cejudo because of title defences. Islam has the potential to have the greatest reign in the most competitive division in the biggest mma promotion, obviously he can do what he wants but title defences especially at lightweight would mean more than the 170 belt
It's best for his legacy I can already smell your tears 😂
Makelchev never stops never stops being funny

@@nickr7703Don’t pay attention to him, he’s a troll I’ve seen under so many other MMA channels. He doesnt even have a fighter he likes, he just finds for fans of specific fighters and shits on them. Infact he’ll probably reply to my comment trying to argue because he wants you to argue with him.
Chael was referencing the Silva fight, “beat me up for 20 mins and won 5 seconds but it was a submission”
Can we all just give it to Chael for doing these videos in 1 take thats so inpressive Chael!
Really is something special. I wonder how many tries it takes
@Luey-E imagine your 5-10 mins in an you fumble a word or get a brain freeze ughhhhh 🤣 I've been there thats why i admire getting it done in 1 take! 📹
@@DylanClaggett and he's done 20-30 minutes in one video before. I doubt he writes this stuff down but the way he transitions from point to point is pretty amazing. I wonder if he has a screen in front of him maybe with bullet points to guide him
@Luey-E ohh yeah he's got to have a lists of topics or transitions a laptop or whiteboard probably! Even when his kids are around just being kids in the backround he's able to make them apart of the video he will be talking and his kid will come sit on his lap he won't break character he doesn't even stop talking he actually continues what he's saying to us while in-between words telling his kid what to do and it dosnt even ruin the video if anything it makes it better so wholesome and unscripted!
@@DylanClaggett 💯
I am half the weight I was 3 years ago but I understand your point and agree with it
It’ll be cool to see him move up, but I would really like to see him fight Justin and or Dustin first.
Chael talk about how the fight would be between the two champions.
Anyway on a personal note I wish you were my uncle. All of the good ones are gone. Maybe that is why I listen to your rambling wisdom which on contrary is infact brilliant wisdom. 😂 Don't go anywhere Uncle Chael! We all need you. Merry Christmas and god bless you and your family Sir. May you be and feel safe in your moments of vulnerability and blissful ignorance which im sure is just a millisecond.
I love your videos! Keep smashing it
Makelchev is going to 170 because Charles doesnt want to fight him. Its alway Charles' fault.😂
Macklachelf might go to 205
Mokklechev
@@kathrynwhitbeck9798 🤣🤣🤣
@@kathrynwhitbeck9798 I grant
Messaged Chael on twitter asked him if he does the names on purpose he said no 😂
So Chael is a silver tongued, illiterate ex fighter. Yet he still manages to outwit the community by getting us to comment on his pronunciation. He knows what he is doing
Tito tapped
No he didn't 😠
I don’t get why we applaud Islam for wanting to move up but shit on Leon for wanting to move up. Both won the belt and only has two title defenses.
For the record I don’t think either of them should move up. Both have contenders in their respective weight classes but I don’t get why treat them differently.
Because Islams Muslim so normal rules don’t apply to him.
This is whats called A tier match making💯
He needs to clear out the 155# division before moving up
Shavkat vs Leon is a pretty awesome matchup as well
I mean, Charles told his teammates to cut him on purpose so he has a reason to pull out, Islam must be traumatized him so bad😂😂😂
And khabibs dad said on his death bed that he wants khabib to retire because Charles was climbing the rankings and he knows khabib can’t fight grapplers looooooool
@@TheeliteMMA-ms4vz🤣🤣🤣
Look the 2nd islam charles fight will be a harder fight for islam. The screwed charles on that fight sending him to abu dabi. Period
He was the champion and he had to fight islam in abu dabi. What is fair in that bs
Im a fan of islam and charles. I have to see this fight again.
I am so much lighter than I was three years ago
Glad for you but you're an exception from the norm
5:37 ohhh 😮 thats some big sentense
He will go to 170 after two more defenses at 155. He’s always said it
Nah. Dana is very sure he’s not gonna let him move to 170. He wouldn’t let Khabib move neither.
@@ryanb8736 Except that Khabib never wanted to move up, Islam does.
@@ryanb8736Khabib never wanted to move up because he was scared of the welterweight wrestlers
@@faithalone5081scared of who? Usman is his friend and they wouldn't fight, khamzat wasn't even top 10 when khabib was fighting. Are you saying he was scared of Colby? 💀
Tbf at this rate that’s going to take forever only Volk and Charles wants to fight him
Hell yeah! The title gave me butterfly
If he beats Leon… I don’t see him beating someone like Shavkat. Shavkat is fucking massive and his ground game is NASTY. If Shavkat gets on top of Islam, I don’t think he survives… that’s not discrediting Islam but it’s just that Shavkat has a very unique style down there.
Makhachev is stronger, by far
Y’all want islam to lose so bad lol. Islam cooks Shavkat. Shavkat struggled to take down a 40yr old. Shavkats defense is horrific. Islam is just too good everywhere
@@josegarza7719 I'd like to see it not just assume
Trying to decipher… where does Kevin Lee fit in with all this?
how hard is it to pronounce MAKHA_CHEV....dammit chael
I love when Lightweight and Welterweight having a clash now. Doest matter how it goes, it still an exciting matchup in future, Champ vs Champ or they just defend their title against contenders from their own weight class.
I'm a big time Islam Makhachev fan, so perhaps my opinion is skewed his way. However as a long time MMA fan I'm over the Champ Champ thing. Please guys, stay in your division. Now having said that, I'd LOVE to see Islam vs Rocky as a fight fan. I can see it being done at UFC 300. I would be OK with this fight there because it's supposed to be a spectacle. My concern is having Islam fight 5 days after Ramadan! What his body will go through training with no food or water. I worry will we get the best Islam and the best fight that night?? Islam is a beast so he will be ready 💯... But will he be 💯
If you put some background free music your presentation would be fire champ!
Makelchev boutta steal Blehal's title shot
Dana already said Islam is not coming to 170. Unfortunately.
Lol Blahal. I'm surprised he's giving Rakhmanov enough respect to pronounce properly. Maybe there's just no opportunity to mispronounce.
Absolutely right ,ur good chael
Islam vs Leon is so much better than Belal vs Leon
I remember King Chael kicking Anderson Silva’s ass for 21 minutes and 40 seconds back in August of 2010 at UFC 117 before getting caught for 10 seconds.
Makelchev will be dominant
I’m so confused. It’s a mess. Fighters no longer want to defend the title multiple years. Instead they want a superfight or a title match in another division without being a legend in their own division. I’m so confused.
Double champ is far more appealing than 1 division champ, especially when the current division is avoiding taking a fight against makhachev
It's always been more prestigious to be a multi weight world champion. At a certain point you've beaten pretty much everyone in a division and have to move on.
Lol 'Izlum Michaelchev' never gets old
Islam vs Shavkat……shiverssss!!
I wanna see Leon vs Khamzat chimaev ❤
I want to see Charles v Alex (potentially at 145)
Does anyone else think they might make Connor vs Leon? I wouldn’t bet on it but it also wouldn’t surprise me
Stop letting everyone fight for double champ. Shouldn't even be an option without 5 title defenses
I think this is what the ufc will do most probably they will make islam vs gaethje on the beginning of march and leon vs belal on april since leon said he wanted april and if makhachev wins against justin and leon wins against belal then most definitely a fight between islam vs leon will happen on october 2024
Belal won't fight in April. It's Ramadan
@@bodrulm1 eid al fatr is on the 10th of april so probably late april
@@AK-ni4sq he will need more than 3 weeks to rehydrate and do a camp. Typically there's a gap after Eid of couple months
Islam wants to fight in summer
Makhachev trained with Belal and once sparred with Leon. Perhaps based on this, Islam wants to rise to 77kg. But after a couple of fights, Inshallah Shavkat will take this belt and it doesn't matter who will be the champion there...
It Has To Be This Way
Islam vs Gaethje or Tsarukyan would be the next fight to go for at lightweight. But I'd be happy to see Islam go to to welterweight and fight any of the top 4.
Truth be told, I really want to see someone smash Islam.
Personally I believe that Islam can beat Edwards and Belal.
Now Islam v Rahkmonov.. I'd say Rahkmonov would get the W.
Islam is more well rounded than Khabib which I've noticed is a pretty unpopular opinion
No you’re right but khabib was so special he didn’t need to be well rounded. He still beats islam imho
@@josegarza7719 Khabib was pretty well rounded tho with that snappy jab. he was outstriking Justin quite well with it.
Dana knows if Shavkat and Islam both have belts, he will sell more fights. The Muslims are heavily funding UFC. Dana has been super generous with money lately.
Fighters should have to rescind the belt when challenging for a second belt
Im down with Leon-Shavkat, Leon-Islam or Islam-Shavkat, down with any good mma match ups
Chael at 33 i was 325.... 36.... 265 this morning.
Islam vs Shavkat would be an amazing fight.
Makhachev vs Shavkat... Dream fight.
Bilal deserve the title shot , it’s even way past due….if Dana don’t do that, ufc is lowers its standards….again…Islam needs two more fights before moving up ….🙏
Uncle Chael goat
I'm very much smaller than I was 3 years ago. Calisthenics, csrdio, some hcg and carnitine and I went from 260 to 190.
Big boy
He isn't talking about ordinary casual people. If you are fit and in pristine physical condition, or if you are simply a constant healthy weight with a good 15% bodyfat, you will notice despite being in the same quality shape you get heavier and a bit thicker as you grow. Your organs collect more fat around them also.
@bodrulm1 that's a pretty good point
Magnificent Chael it’s Belal with no H!
At 36 years of age colby fans were saying things like "colby would melt Islam" lol
Colby is not even in the same level. Not even on Colby’s best day, could he beat Islam. Islam is a beast. He’s trained with the absolute best. Everyone needs to stop boosting Colby’s ego.
Islam will finish Leon. Mark my word in it. He will make it look easier than anyone thinks.
@@ryanb8736Islam cardio is not the greatest
@@faithalone5081 His cardio is very good. We don't even know how good Shavkat's is to be honest. All he's got are finishes against strikers, and grapplers who aren't even sniffing Islam's level.
You taking an out-of-context 5 round fight (Volk #1) where he was dehydrated and had too little a recovery time to say he has bad cardio is typical American casual-ism.
@@aishere9172 strawman read the sentence nog
@@aishere9172 Whatever. I understand you are islam fan and all but we have to see that first. Its not clear how a lw will fair in ww division. Not many examples.
The problem with Makhachev's LW reign is, that he's set become the guy with most LW wins in UFC history after another win inshaAllah. But UFC is set to tarnish this accomplishment. Because people will still say he just beat 2 guys 2 times.
He has such a bizarre resume….he’s easily the best at his weight class yet has fought a small percentage of the top guys…didn’t fight many on the way up and has defended twice against the same 145er.
@@33moneyball Everyone was openly ducking him. Even now, it's embarrassing that Charles doesn't want to fight him. If LW is the deepest talent pool, Makhachev really does operate on a different level.
Chael: Are you smaller now than you were as a human being 3 years ago - of course not
Me: Elon Musk - Ozempic is a hell of a drug!
Yes, I am actually. But I was never 155, they just are athletes that keep gaining muscle and growing. I've had my man physique since 16 some guys don't get that till 25-30. Wierd how our frames grow as we age
Islam vs Rakhmanov is crazy now imagine Islam vs khamzat
Alex pereira os fighter of the year i don't see how you could disagree not chael but anyone he has improved a lot really ge went from izzy dominated him on ground to holding his own and becoming champ in 2 divisions thank you glover
That is very reasonable and logical
i love how the undefeated undisputed GOAT doesnt need to pronounce any fighters name correctly. such rules dont apply to him, makalchef hahaha
Islam vs rakhmanov for title shot against Leon would be good
Maklechef vs Blowhall! Make it happen
Shavkat was the best kicker ever pulled out of left feild. But its a home run 💯
Lean VS Islam is a hell of a fight.
True. Dana doesn’t want Islam getting that belt though.
@@ryanb8736 Why not? I don't see why that's a problem. The best should have the belt and if he can he totally should.
Leon in the uk would be ace, couldn’t care about him in America it should be in England where his fans are
I wanna see Islam vs Leon or Islam vs Shavkat
Love sonnen or hate him, he always tells it how it is!.
At least 3 more defense in light weight man like at least , which takes about 10-14 months based on who’s available and who’s up to fight
Out of every single UFC champion Islam is the only one that has a real reason to move up a weight class he's already cleared out the lightweights
Belal needs to fight for the belt next even though I want to see Islam
Islam v Edward’s should headline 300
Personally I think Islam needs those defenses before moving up but any way we get to Islam v Shavkat I’m here for that fight lol
I think Islam should go down to 145 first win the title then 170. To try to become the first triple. Champ. Khamzats dream.
Islam vs tsarukyan is the fight to make
Dana already said that give islam a year if he will be still champion then sure why not .....
“In this sport we fiercely adhere to the rules that we make up on the spot” lol Ain’t that the fucking truth
Islam is a Lion jus like Khabib he ragdoll these dudes at 155 or 170. Charles is a excellent fighter but he don't want that smoke and most people don't want see that rematch. Islam will have the strength of a 185 pounder. Leon is a good man much improved fighter and a champ but he will get dismantled against the Dagestani.
Idk about that. We'd have to see. Leon has great TD defence.
Charles is currently my favorite fighter to watch. I dont want to see the islam rematch. Like chael, i really dont think it would play out much differently than the first fight. I like the mcgregor angle. Just no islam. Let islam move up. Interesting match ups at 170 for him.
I don’t think people realise how big Islam vs Shavkat would be
leon fights with belal, and in the middle rakhmonov vs islam, because islam doesnt have too many title defenses at 155 to get a title shot at 170. Thats my take
Islam vs shavkat
Khamzat vs Bo nickal
Mann, this is the real matchup!
