All things UFC and MMA with the undefeated Bad Guy, Chael Sonnen. UFC Champions, Jon Jones, Conor McGregor, Colby Covington, Khamzat Chimaev, the MMA hour and commentary on the latest UFC news, UFC Champions in 2022, UFC knockouts and finishes.
Chael the type of guy to have a UA-cam channel based off of podcast clips and not link the podcast
Another win for the bad guy 💪
He can’t let podcasts get close.
Why would you need to listen to the podcast when Chael already told you about it?
It's his product now...
Dude this is too accurate! Lol
8:12 "I am not a Sandhagen, I am Sonnen, I know what's going on...."
This might be one of Uncle Chael's best lines ever, and that's saying something
He’s a God damn treasure 😂
Hahah... Can you imagine if you or I tried making a podcast after 10 cups of coffee.... I know I would be all over the fkn place..... Hey, Mr J.snow you said "Death to all"... No Woke Judge of the Universe, I said "Im South Paw"... hahahaha fk the president !
What am I missing about Corey that prompted chael to say that lol
Chael I binge your videos whenever I’m doin something and you sir are the best background tv noise out there. Thank you and congratulations
He is no background sound. He is the Cosmic Microwave Background
Lol his the background noise while i read the comments
Was that a compliment?
@@blackpanda1233u and most all of us brother
Sean and DDP know exactly what they’re doing having learned from the best and that has made Uncle Chael very proud. It’s like the first time you witness your kid take the initiative to do something in order to succeed without being told.
Yes
I am here for it
Kool the kkk is in the house
Exactly right, he's literally sculpting the industry... or like a conductor, hell Influencer covers it! The dude just makes sense. 🙏
Sean Strickland is fighting ddp what he gonna get him with the yoga
“the dirt sheets, the dotcoms”
Uncle Chael undefeated in channeling both james ellroy and tim berners-lee lol
Chael preaching here …. Don’t understand his cryptic UFC insight in this video …. Sometimes he’s just not close
Sean v DDP is the only match i wanted to see out of the announced matches
When Colby said what he did about Leon's dad it spiked ppv sales by 25% which means Strickland (the champ) was seated in front of his challenger (the #1 contender) because let's be honest the fight lacked hype
Chael is a master storyteller and that story was beautifully told
I was always under the impression it was DDP and Strickland
P.S. I always wanted this matchup not Khamzat
Well most honestly I wanted Cannonier vs Strickland cause that first one was a robbery plus the comain like a ddp vs adysana or use that matchup on something else.
Strickland is clearly scared of DDP
What makes you think that?
How long have you been under that impression?
Idk I wanted DDP to have a shot I love it ever since covid
We all want ddp vs Strickland
A lot of people wanted Strickland vs Du Plessis! Chael just talked a lot of shit about Dricus and now looks stupid. He has been the #1 contender since beating Whittaker.
Edit: Props to Chael for finally learning how to prounce "Dricus Du Plessis"
Not 1 word you just wrote is correct.
@@ChaelSonnenOfficialyou done it again , saying stupid shit .
God you Americans are lost in the world , wake up please man .
@@ChaelSonnenOfficial Don't be scared of the truth Chael
These two would have gotten suspensions if Ariel Helwani was the president of the UFC.
Belal would get perma-suspension
You’re wrong Chael. Dricus deserved his title shot.
Yeah, but it's an ideological thing, Chael bashes everybody who doesn't put company interests first. There is a lot of politics on this channel.
Chael is auditioning for a job. Nudge nudge, wink wink
He isn't the only one that feels the offer may only come by you once in your lifetime, if you say 'no'. The wives of fighters have also been quoted saying such things in support of taking premature championship fights.
@@janpol466indeed
Agreed, Dricus most deserving. And iv got my money on him winning the title aswell.
I like chaels content. I would just like to point out: he did multiple vids on ddp vs whittaker not being a contenders match cause 8weeks turnaround is not enough time. Afterward when ddp said he didnt have enough time, chael starting saying he buckled.
The disrespect is insane. And its all because of the politics of the channel. Ddp went against the ufc, and thats a biiiig no-no for chael.
Chael is corrupt. He admitted this in his Ngannou video.
I have never missed a DDP fight for the past 10 years. Chael needs to catch up. Everybody I saw on social media were happy that finally the only deserved contender in the MW division got his well deserved title shot.
And i never knew Dricus existed untill Adesanya called him.
Now having watched 2 of his fights i can confidently say he is not a Champion Material.
@@ReNeDesCartes782after watching ret*rd Sean stricklands fights he is not championship material
@@ReNeDesCartes782Google his KSW -1 record.33 title defences 30 by KO.See for yourself
Chael is either the most uninformed SOB in mma or he is busy playing 4d chess.
@ReNeDesCartes782 hahaha you a 🤡
Sonnen is so pissed off that Dricus got a shot at the title - even though he is the nr one contender. He's been ranting non-stop over it since it was announced.
I wonder what's his agenda?
Ddp went against the ufc agenda. That is a big no no for chael. Its politics, essentially.
Chael always took title shots even if he was hurt. But, Chael was never able to win a title
If Chael and DDP were car salesmen, DDP would be selling sportscars and Chael trying to convince a pimpled student to buy an old beaten up 'one lady owner' car because is might be the last one left in the county with that color.
@@RobotRegon roids,he never felt pain
Uncle Chael is the best voice in MMA no bs! I tune in to every single video DAILY! Keep em’ coming !!!
Strickland will have to absorb many punches to get to the championship rounds..
Minute 7:02 we got Paula…. Paulo 😂😂😂
It’s the most sought after fight so expect 100 videos from Chael on these two the next 3 weeks 😂
remember Ngannou😂😂😂?
No doubt. He was making 3 ian gary videos a day before the pullout
Aye but I'm happy for the content
ye and he ll say anything interesting... i mean i ike chael but facts are facts
Funny how Chael was a DDP fan boy before Dricus said he says a lot of stupid things on Ariel's Show.
No, 3 weeks ago you were trying to gaslight everyone by saying no ones even talking about it everyone wants kumshot which simply wasn't true. You're being disrespectful at this point.
Uncle Chael, my son pulled the best card ever today. Signature Series Don Russ Chael Sonnen Pink 2023. Just wanted to say thank you for this sweet signing!!! 👊 you made a 13 year old aspiring mma fighters day. “DAD THATS THE GUY WE WATCH ONLINE EVERYDAY!”
Yes son. That’s Uncle Chael. ❤️
After watching many chael videos I've gradually come to learn that everything is one of those things
Not for nothin there’s a lot of moving parts
Lol.Yankee sense of humor😮
The fight made perfect sense and plenty of people saw that 😅 Uncle Chael still pushing his DDP-deserves-nothing-after-the-the-Izzy-faceoff narrative, dear oh dear
The only one who didnt wanna see DDP v Strikland was Chael.
Agree
Chael’s calling out DDP. He’s known Sean for 20 years and doesn’t know DDP at all.
screw Strickland vs Du Plessi. I wanna see Uncle Chael vs Du Plessi.
It's funny how fans seem to want to hear how a fighter is a nice guy but let's be honest here, it's drama that sells. These 2 guys pick a fight now everyone wants to see them fight. It's also why Colby has 3 title fights despite having no talent.
Aint no way we would all rather watch this over Jones vs Miocic, Chael smoking the good stuff today.
I would, both these dudes are in their prime. Stipe is old, possibly shot at this point he is what 40 or 41 already?
🤣😂🤣🤣
They are both great fights, but Jones is number 1 to watch for me, he's been there since I started watching, in 2010.
A little scuffle in the crowd does not put Du plessi and strickland to the top of the must watch pile. @@YogiBear13
Im from south africa and I support Dricus
Having Chael talking about you is one heluva boost. I know he talked DDP into whatsup today.
Chael you the man! Huge fan from 🇨🇦 🍁 🙏
Most people was relieved that it was Sean vs DDP (someone who actually deserved it). Rather than Khamzat who has not fought a single 185lb contender.
“Most people?” Ha!! Literally, just YOU.
@@ChaelSonnenOfficial Read the rest of the comment section Unc
@@abhivideos101that's just the people who wanted it, they still represent the minority even though they've been funneled in this comment section. The minority will be so loud they look like the majority of it turns out they were right.
Until that press conference chimaev vs strickland was bigger than dricus vs strickland.
You think DDP deserves it for beating Till and Whittaker? I bet he wouldn’t have got through Jared The Killa Gorilla 🦍
it's the UFC. One of these guys will claim "injured while training", and the card will shift into something less then advertised.
The term “Sandhagen” is absolutely amazing
I'm not a Sandhagen, I'm a Sonnen" what a line
The must see fight is Sonnen vs Helwani, I would come to watch, PPV would be through the roof Just consider this please ... The fight we didn't know we wanted, but now know we need... Strickland vs Du Plesis is the 2nd most important fight to see. :)
If the title of this video is true, then I was right. People wanted to see Izzy lose more than Sean win which is another point to make about how fickle mma fans are. They have the nerve to call Sean “our champ” but had he not won fans wouldn’t give a crap about him.
Uu the type to call a dog abuser your champ. Kinda fickle if u ask me. 🤮
wtf is chael talking about… only casuals think chimaev is still relevant lol the real fans always wanted to see Strickland vs drikus
1) No one's interested
2) Have fake brawl with WWE punches
3) Everyone's interested
DDP better make it down to Canada, otherwise The Bad Guy will turn him into a verb, like Sandhagen, if he doesn't.
Hulle weet nie wat ons weet nie😂
Chael is the biggest yapper and I love it 😂
You're counting sean out... You're right the pressure for this one is absolutely enormous but the fact that Sean has attached this fight to the trauma from his past in a way he never has before and I believe that makes him DANGEROUS in this fight! God I'm pulling for Sean! The ufc needs a strong American champion like strickland. The crazy thing is I'm a huge fan of both guys as fighters. I have their UFC rookie cards for God sakes lol😂
Means he comes out with a hardon swinging for the fences. Which is what DDP wants, bc he doesn’t have the gas tank to fight Sean’s style.
I believe DDP’s insults could backfire on him. Before the press conference Sean was too invested in stupid crap like the Ian Garry situation and Nitrocross. He seems to be posting less of that and more training stuff on his socials now. Maybe it’s a sign of him taking the match more seriously.
@patoloquend0 I love it! I'm a fan of both but I'm absolutely pulling for Sean in this one!
@williammoore1980 I honestly feel like Sean is a solid professional enough to keep his composure and fight smart regardless. Especially when I read some of the things he's putting out. The fact that he's kinda putting child abuse victims on his back just makes a win for him mean a qlot! It's a lot of pressure and I'm honestly 50/50 but I'm pulling for Sean and I'm probably gonna drop a couple bucks on it too just for fun lol! I just wish there was a way Sean could develop that killer knockout punch. His stance just isn't conducive to super heavy power shots and he just does not have that short shot knockout power a lot of guys have. But some people have said that about Jon Jones at a few points in his career as well.
I don’t think the guy that posted this understood who Chael was calling out. It sure as hell wasn’t Sean. It was the other guy dum dum.
Sandhagen catching smoke outta nowhere 😂
everyone is happy that ddp got it because he deserved it chael. you were wrong about this, you are wrong about this. He hurt his foot and did not want to fight izzy the single greatest middle weight to ever do it. Who just beat tf outta perrira. DDP was number one contender, chimiev did not deserve it, usman did not deserve it. Its always been DDP, and majoirty of the community wanted him. You are wrong, chael accept it.
Chael i admire you
You were a man on a mission to keep the promise that he made to his dad.
🙏👑
But he never fulfilled it…why is that worth admiring?
@@AC-vu1js Cos he still dominated in his career his dad would be proud
@@AC-vu1js Because he did his best.
@@zoggy7737 Colby’s career > Chaels career
It was always a must see fight.
Not really
has chael ever sounded like he's not talking down to people when he's on mic?
DDP says that Chael says some dumb shit...And there you have it again. Insinuating that Dricus buckled under the pressure when Adesanya walked into the cage after beating Whitaker. That's laughable. DDP is from South Africa mate. MMA is tiddlywinks compared to the shit that goes down in the Southern tip of Africa. DDP would fight heavyweights for a title if it means it would bring South Africa a UFC belt. South Africans are built different. Hulle Weet Nie Wat Ons Weet Nie
😂😂
Now tell me their little fight in the crowd wasn't staged...
Man, DDP and D'Sean. Mike Perry must be proud
After DDP's ko of Rob Whittaker, he convinced me that he is an absolute killer. I don't know if Strickland will be able to cope with DDP's stopping power, but I could definitely be wrong bc Strickland has upset insane odds against him before. I'm hyped af for their fight
I can't wait to see the selfie of Dricus on the plane with the UFC belt coming to 🇿🇦
I love the heat between them because the UFC can't make fights based on extracurricular spats BUT the fight was already booked so everything works out
Fake heat.
@@drivebyquipper Care to clarify?
yeah it’s a good matchup and the heat just compliments it
@@jinjowatts that fight in the crowd was obviously setup by the ufc for this buzz lol, dana knew exactly what he was doing bud 😂
@@garyablett9284 Clarify? Okay, I'll break it down for you. The phony "grudge match" is contrived to drum up PPV sales. Initially, the intense grudge match was between the two Africans over African pride. Well, that fell by the wayside when the sacrificial lamb turned out to be a savage beast. Lol!
Now, the UFC is trying to drum up the same level of emotion with random acts of nonsense. It doesn't float. There is no grudge match, only a feeble, pathetic attempt to add an emotional dynamic to a lackluster match-up. Save the drama for Strickland's mama.
Damn he hates Sandhagen always putting that guy down i don’t believe i have ever heard him put a guy down as much as him
A: I’m paying for the Jones fight first.
B: Same weight class is also to set up the next fight if they both have great finishes.
C: Love Chael but he lays his opinions as facts.
Strickland and DDP are definitely must watch TV
Chael... Read the room.. nobody.. NOBODY wanted to see Cumsuck get a title shot, he doesn't deserve it having lost his last 2 fights, even with his Dana privilege! DDP and Sean always made sense... and cumzat should get adesanya
Khamzat will retire and Chael will still be calling for him to have a title fight, he only fights once every 12 months se we need to wait until October next year foe him to fight
chael dropping videos like crazy lets goo
chael bless
Ddp the pride of the LBTGK2+ persons
Usman would be a good backup in my opinion if he is not injured, he has a story to create with both DDP and Strickland the only thing holding him back is his loss to Chimaev makes him 0-1 at middleweight but I think everyone would understand him being a backup given the circumstances of the middleweight division.
Why is Belal being shunned?? And why wldnt Dana put Colby VS Khamzat?? Bc the UFC don't wanna loose a yapper💯
Chael been having bad takes lately…I liked dricus Strickland when it was announced and the paddy Ferguson matchup made sense. Idk where he gets some “popular opinions” from.
it was already a must see fight, now the hype just got bigger
The Reaper is coming
I always wonder if he reads his comment section
Who is chael referring to at the end of the video ?
Chael seems to be doing videos on Ambien now
I just thought of two things. One, Dana probably put Sean and DDP near each other bc he was hoping for something to happen to add to the story of the fight. Also, you know, Dana is in the fight business, and with the Chimaev/Diaz debacle, and a few other fight mixups, I’m sure when they make these cards they have a plan b or plan c to shift to if the buzz or sales aren’t what they expect. And they sort of take care of the guys either monetarily or with opportunities in the future.
Dana already admitted at his mistake said he was dumb for sitting those two guys so close
@@teacopemis a pick pocketer gonna tap you on the shoulder and say “got your wallet!”? no bruh
everybody wanted this fight. chimaev didnt look impressive enough to fight for the title. DDP knocked out the Reaper
Dricus took down Sean with ease at 296 and i heard he cracked his skull too. Sean in trouble
"When we continue to play musical chairs at 185 pounds, the loser of the game is the same loser every time we play. It's Jared Canonier." So true! ROTFL
I cared. Strickland is my favorite champ of all time. As white trash myself... I've NEVER had a champ I can identify with like him. I don't care if he doesn't accomplish a single title defense.
Do u think he can beat du plessis..the white gorrilla
Good take
Chimaev never deserved the shot at the belt. He hasnt fought a single pure middle weight ranked contender. How hes already ranked 8th is beyond me. Chimaev needs to fight a top 5 middle weight first before he gets a shot. The weight class jumping is getting out of hand. Let champions defend against contenders in their own weight class
DDP was the rightfull contender, not khamzat even if he won via KO 1st round
Hope you're getting paid for promoting these chael
Rockmenof or however you say it at 185 would be a fun backup
Du plessis gonna cause strickland problems early on but if he doesn't take him out early he's in for a long night....
🤣🤣🤣🤡🤦♂️ jy weet niks nie. I’m over talking, you’ll see.
Duplicity ? Strickland sold that fight Strickland turned up the heat duplicity ran his mouth Strickland held his breath made his face go red $$ duplicity reacted I struck a nerve Dana what was I thinkin seating near each other $$ Strickland jumping on duplicity at fight $$!
You sound 5
there is something weird about this Dricus Sean beef. I can’t put my finger on it.
Chael your media guys need to start linking the official podcast on YT, missing out on free exposure 🥲
“I’ve seen him buckle once”
Shot over the bow at duplessis
Chael you call it a compliment, I call it a gamble. It's a massive gamble on who Izzy takes on next if he doesn't move up. And if it's DDP that comes out on top, that the entire UFC marketing department is going to have the time of their lives. If it's Strickland, you simply continue with this wildcard fan favorite and bring out the rematch clause for Izzy.
Never bet against DDP.
The "who is chael sonnen doubting" Blessing lmao. First it was Charles, next it'll be DDP, easy money
Love the cope of the media with Du Plessis' title shot.
There's a sucker born every minute, and as a master of the dark arts, Uncle Chael knows this better than anyone.
Its going to be insane !!💪
Jones and Stipe
Dang Chael, this one is HOT, watching a second time to digest it all. Take a snapshot, would love to hear your eval! 🙏Ahh I see the difference, you're splicing a bit, that's cool but they got video tools to do a 50% opacity fade near the cut... smooooooth.
What Corey moment is he referring to when he says that he isn’t a “Sandhagen”
Wait what does Chael have against sandhagen? Shots fired
Dricus will likely blast through Sean's pillowie strikes and ground him for some G&P. I think we'll see Sean's ground game tested in this matchup. I was excited to see this fight no need for the unprofessionalism and criminal assault infront of women & children but hey, keep selling the drama, never mind the fact that it puts a shit stain on the promotion and sport. What really makes me sad is too many people love it.....
Right on guys!!!!!
It's a business, not a legitimate sport.
At least that's what I'm told whenever obvious no.1 contenders get passed over for title fights.
Chael will say that DDP didn’t deserve the title and also push for Colby getting the title shot after almost 2 years off. 😂
Yea.and colby looked like ass in there last week ...chael is a strange dude sometimes
@@damonarchary1582 he knows how to spin the media narrative on people he likes vs dislikes
Cory always catching strays 😂
I said it was a great strategy and it was. Merry Christmas Cheal and family cheers from Sacramento
Not sure I expected Chimaev... since he is probably on some lists that are watched due to his connections to certain less than savory "politicians" in his homeland... And we knew the event would not be in Abu Dhabi or some other such place.
