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.
The guy who thinks he's tough enough to challenge Chael in an interview, Ariel "say it to my face" Helwani, is the same guy who wants to restrict mean words... Imagine my shock.
Good point.
Jews and censorship go hand in hand.
jewish censorship. many such cases
@alfie_pine okay belal the terroist

"the only person who's made their career with their mouth is Tito's ex-wife" - Chael Sonnen
Undefeated, undisputed.
He would be defeated if Colby brought up his dad. Chael “I’d tell my dad I tried my best “ sonnen 😂
0 people found this funny
Titos ex wife and Ariel
"i was never in no marriage"
-Tito
Tito's relationship with Jenna was super sad. He's a good dad tho
if Ariel was President everyone would be required to pee sitting down by law
Dana’s decision to ban Ariel has aged like fine wine
Best decision ever by Dana💯
He's the turd in the punch bowl. Rampage tried to tell everyone a long time ago.
I still like and listen to Ariel. He's a very intelligent guy. Did he take this stance on purpose to create a dialogue.
Maybe he's not looking to change the organization.
Maybe he would be satisfied with the discussion
Hate him or love him, the MMA community wouldn’t be the same without him. He’s a bigger fan than all of us and we know it 😂
Ariel is the exact type of person to NOT put in charge of anything significant that brings in money.
There are 3 constants in the universe:
1. Chael getting 100% of his picks right
2. Jesse begging everyone to subscribe via a cringe new skit in every single video (or the same way every video)
3. Ariel advocating and lobbying for censorship
We are of like mind
Haha #2!!
Lmao! Just imagine if Jesse was as awesome as he thinks he is. He really would be like a little Chael.
Jeeshus I really hope mentioning his name doesn't bring his junk back in my feed. It took many "don't recommend channel, not interested' and blocking to make it disappear
@@boduke9428 Why you don't like Jesse?
@@shamelessdaddy8707 I just feel like he tries way too hard to not act like he's trying way too hard to be cool. Forced charisma if you will. His whole shtick just annoys me. One uncle Chael is all the mma world needs.
Chael "I Cannot Cross The Line Because I am The Line" Sonnen
that time line is stupid and make no sense. just like chael
Ariel’s lies and deceitful actions could ruin anything 😂
as is the way of his people
The way of his tribe
The man literally pulls receipts and you still claim he lies. I’m guessing you’re part of the Maga crowd, given your propensity for ignoring the truth.
@@telescopeliescasual racism says much more about the kind of person you are.
@@talldreamyopposum He's Jewish??
That jacket definitely didn't go unnoticed, it was really cool!
And having the Tapout shirt underneath shows he's not just stylish, but he also means business 😎
I'd expect nothing less from the son of a gangster!
Awesome jacket buddy! I’m jealous. And tap out shirt to complete the fit!? Undefeated 👊🏽 undisputed
Ariel would ruin the ufc in 6 months.
Guy is way to fake nice for me
6 months! Try 6 minutes.
Guys like that get slapped ~ Nick Diaz
Like his show
Ariel wouldn’t promote PowerSlap… Dana has already ruined the UFC 😂
Putting aside whether Colby went too far or not, we can all agree Colby single handedly sold that fight. The card was stacked, but it wasnt getting talked enough cuz everyone was so "gentlemanly". To the point where people cared more about Ian's wife than the people fighting
Single-handedly? Hardly.
Chael is a good dad
I wouldn’t trust Ariel to clean my toilet, let alone manage the UFC
I know you'll gladly clean Ariel's toilet 😂
Ariel has been kicked out of 109 MMA events for a reason.
Mma journalist of the year for a reason.
@@etherealentity7675most biased mma journalist of the year.
@@etherealentity7675Sorry, that's Nina
You’d also start blurring the lines of the fighters being independent contractors if you start telling them what they can and can’t say.
The lines are already blurred. Seeing as how they can’t take other fights at other organizations, even though they are independent contractors. Seems more like the type of restrictions you’d have for employees.
@mmafyasco as an independent contractor you sing a contract with terms. That's on them for signing it. They could easily say no thanks and walk away.
@mmafyasco even if you're an independent contractor, most companies will make you sign a no contest clause where you can't work for competitors during or even 6 months after working for them. That's standard in most industries
Every company has rules what you can do and what not. Imagine someone disrespecting the American flag, e.g putting his feets on them. Then you would all cry. For me, trash talk became too much and too personal. I don't want to hear what the wife of fighter XY does. I just want to see good fights, where people earn their spot by having wins, not by talking about someone father, wife, nationality etc.
@@Jacob727
oh, OK then that completely negates the point OP made. If you can just add censorship into the contract.
One of the TOP reasons I love Dana White is his attitude of freedom of speech, He has been constant in that stance and I appreciate it. Ariel calls himself a journalist all while saying he dislikes words that hurt him. Clown
The reality is that the pay per view buys went up by 25% after what Colby said because of what Colby said according to Dana.
so everything goes if it raises the profit margin?
I realise you didn't say that but
its a moral issue, right?
If it was a moral issue the system/institutions that many countries and it's useful id!ot citizens have been following would have fallen apart generations ago.
@@lloydchristmas6611.. when it comes to words, yes anything goes. If you can get that hurt by words, probably shouldn't be hopping in a cage to fight.
The majority of fans, watch for drama and violence. Take out the drama and nobody wants to watch.
Lord Chael is the only one capable of filling Dana's shoes. He has proven that he understands the biz.
The reality is… Ariel isn’t nearly as virtuous as Ariel fans would believe and he’s not nearly as evil as Dana fans would believe. Just a guy with a slightly annoying voice who likes the sport a lot
tbh this can be applied to almost every internet discourse surrounding an individual.
He himself is as annoying as a hangnail let alone his voice!!
The truth almost always lies somewhere in the middle. If you find yourself on an extreme on an issue. You're probably "wrong" somewhere@@eveningstar7812
Ariel would’ve also forced all his fighters to get Covid vaccines
Der ewige jvde
Your boy's jacket was really cool. The T-Shirt sounds amazing. Hope he has a fantastic Christmas. Best regards from the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The only thing cooler than your son’s shirt and jacket is him.
People like Ariel are why there’s so much support for Palestine.
Here the president of trash talk giving fellow citizens what trash talk really have its place in the first place.
Doesn't surprise me that the Canadian is in favor of policing speech and the American is defending speech.
really?
Canada is more free than the US
Its clear Ariel works for Disney (espn). Chael is spot on again
He doesn't work for ESPN anymore...
Said it before and i will say it again and again, Dana should just outright ban Ariel from any and all UFC events. Ariel adds nothing of value to the UFC all he does is bitch and moan about the organization and the fighters which have enabled him to make a very good living without much effort whatsoever.
If Ariel were running things, Justin Trudeau would be coming to events instead of Trump.
Helwani is like that kid who always starts fights, for other people.
The bigger and better question for real is what if CHAEL P SONNEN was the president of UFC?
.... when wanderlei tried to get close.... "fu**ing amateur"...
Busted Chael!!
Funny story:
I met the light of my life when she was 9 years old. She was meek and reserved beyond what you could imagine because of what brought her to me.
I used MMA, boxing, and Chael's trash talk to get her out of her shell
We still joke about the mean streets of West Lynn Oregon
She's now the most amazing, self confident young woman I've ever known, and I'll officially be adopting her in two weeks
Just like Chael and Colby!
Groomer
@@holocade4908 yeah was about to say the first 4 sentences are screaming groomer and I felt weird.
Gibbs, are you a groomer? Just tell the truth we won’t report you…..
@callen8454 nope, teaching my wife how to fight too, but just proud of my badass daughter as well
Chael "I'm just sharing with you" Sonnen is the most active UFC channel by far
08:40 Chael understands "group think" like no one else.
Sometimes Chael levels and decides not to shill... this is one of those times and it's great. The last minute or so... 🔥
Chael has one of the best UA-cam channels I swear he might be one of the only creators I come back to watch, a new ppv is announced best believe I wanna see uncle Chael’s opinion
Absolutely 100% my favorite, because reasons.
I'm a mark for a good Chael P. Sonnen video everytime. The P. stands for greatness.
If Helwani was president of the UFC it would not exist.
Ariel would nationalize the UFC and every fighter would make the same amount of money win or lose.
We went from Descartes and Hume talking about mind-body dualism to gossiping about political correctness in cage fighting I’m all for it
🍻
Chael said words can't hurt you but gets offended so quick when someone says something about him
Colby's take on trash talk is exactly right. You can give each other concussions but the line is drawn over a few mean words? The UFC does not stand for the Ultimate Feelings Championship.
Ariel's Canadian side is showing
Ariel would change it into a dance competition
That jacket your son wore was pretty awesome!
Chanel is the realest, censorship is never okay
Ariel would be an absolute tyrant
(((They))) always are
Ariel proves the things people say about him are true more and more a day and by god is it hard to be a fan of his work
Dude like anybody Ariel can be charming and personable to individuals he likes. And not that, to people he doesn't.
We all do that
Press conference, "i hope i win and good luck sir" 😂
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing from Ariel and MVP. Talking about fining people and censoring people. Disgusting!
Hey Chael.
That little dude with the leather jacket on....bad ass.
Let him know.
Dana has said numerous times and in particular after the Colby / Leon fight that he thought that comment went too far (anything regarding family) so he has already basically done what Ariel suggested, just to everybody at once. He won't actually restrict them and he shouldn't. Regardless, you don't have to tell grown men when they cross the line - they know.
No, it’s not the same
Dana also said the ppv sales literally went up %25 after Colby’s remarks!
Grudges sell fights: Connor was the king of it
I forgot to leave that comment on the Ariel show but that was a really cool jacket young man , you looked awesome in it , so much that you made you were the only one who had a sense of style in this interview ! Give some pointers to your old man next time. :)
Hope to never see Colby again. He is a stain on the sport.
I didn't get to see your sons outfit yet but i don't have to see it to know that any 8yo sporting a tapout shirt in 2023 is obviously the coolest 8yo in the entire history of 8yearold's to have ever existed AND THAT IS A A FACT. 💯😤💪😎👊
True. I just saw the gangster jacket lol.
The biggest problem is who gets to decide what is acceptable and what is not. Who's moral values are the right ones? Everything is suggestive depending on who is judging the words. In all fairness at the end of the day the two parties get the opportunity to legally punch each other in the face for 15 to 25 minutes, so the talk is really a moot point.
Its an arbitrary line... theres no need for any regulation, but this is a self correcting issue... by people growing up and pushing boundaries... eventually they will get checked... i think child abuse and dead relatives are pretty obvious lines in the sand... while being a cuck publicly and choosing to advertise your homoerotic tendencies are absolutely fair game...
“Guys. I only propose to you this question, because I genuinely care - ‘What is crossing the line?’” - Chael Sonnen 2023
Given fans enjoyment of making fun of wives Im not sure why dead dads is a big deal
@@chiquita683Yeah
Crossing the line is physically assaulting your opponent before a scheduled fight… SS is the only one who crossed the line. Not anybody who dared to USE MEAN WORDS WAAAHHHHHHHHH😢
@@chiquita683 yeah right ? Like who cares if your dads dead Chiquita ? He was a coward anyways.
Any physical assault is crossing the line. That is very obvious of something you don't do.
Here, say hello to a bunch of these police officers
Loved your boys' jacket on Ariel's show Chael. Very cool 😎 👌
Much love Chael! This could very well be a comment on the critical importance of the Universal Law of Free Will and freedom of speech... The way your mind works Chael is 100% from a lifetime of wrestling. Love it! ❤🙏🏼❤️
If Ariel said it then you can rest assured that you should take the other approach.
That commissioner story is pretty cool. I love getting history lessons in arguments like this
Been pointing this out since long ago, ufc is picking up the modus operandi entertainment business from the wwe... they want to avoid the repetitive process and autcome of a regular fight promotion... they did change the titles of the events for that very reason... now Vince McMahon has introduce them to their formula before people catched up with the boring 1000 times seen fight promotion and leave the arena before it even starts. Basically they want to "evolve" creating an ilusion of permanent movement and action.
Haven’t even listened to it yet and I already know I’m going to like this
Ariel is Canadian so who’s surprised
and a jew
@@astek3I believe that's the joke
@@astek3what’s your point?
@@michaeljohnston980 His point is Ariel is a Jew
@michaeljohnston980 they are ALWAYS hypocritical demons
Go woke go Broke Ariel should be boycotted for even trying to bring this up in the fight game!
So 2 dudes that are about to Punch, Kick, Choke, etc. each other in a cage until 1 of them quits or can't defend himself but they shouldn't say bad things to each other because they might offend each other or the fans? 🤦🤦
Chael acting like he didn't tell Tito his ex wife made her money with her mouth 😭 G Rated
Chael's son's jacket is awesome!! Good style young man!!
Little man with the cool leather jacket had coolest entrance of 2023! Little lady was all swag 💙
Ariel is the Justin Trudeau of mma
Based Chael admits even he doesnt watch Ariel and he's a regular guest on the show
If you’re hurt by words don’t sign up for a cage fight also I feel like as long as you show up for the ass whoopin you can say whatever you want to a cage fighter
What have words to do with a cage fight?😂 By that logic, it's also completely okay to make fun of Seans childhood and mother. Even if you win, words can destroy a family, a marriage, can have negative impact for years especially for the children, can awake traumas or depression, can cause ass...aul..ts outside the octagon etc.
@@germanboy14 clearly if you win you can say whatever you want that is the rule now has been the forever and will be the rule always. The context of the words being in promotion of a cage is what the words have to do with a cage fight if you’re too stupid to understand this then you’re too stupid to understand the necessity of freedom of expression and association
Chael in one sentence " if you tell them what you can't say it's probably wrestling " then in the next line " how would you have a heel?" . Being a heel is pro wrestling Chael.
chael campaigning for ufc president love it
If Ariel is for it then i am staunchly against it. I don't even need to know what it is or which side he takes. I'm confident I'd disagree with him. It's just one of those things.
Leon censored Colby by beating him in a fight. Colby's words were treated very unfairly.
The point is , it was a cool retro throwback Tapout shirt 😎
Ariel is softer than charmin.
yes, ariel is made of cotton
The asterisk*. "You've never heard me cuss" *Unless Chael is threatening Ariel
Chael ‘it’s one of these things’ Sonnen
i know my son would be supervised and shown content P. Sonnen everyday until he turns eighteen, man.
Colby and Dillon's incredible heel heat is god-like and essential for building babyface stars. The heated Khabib-Conor press conference significantly boosted Khabib's star power.
underrated comment. Got too many people acting like they cared about khabib before Conor
That jacket was an official badass jacket! Just stay out of trouble when you get older bud!
Areal can learn one or two secrets of the business from Chael.
It's vitaly important for the viewing public to see fuck around and find out, play out in real time.
Hey Chael's son HEY buddy you did great yesterday and what a cool TAP OUT SHIRT !!!!
Ariel just hates Colby cause he won’t give him an interview ever. He also said he hated Colby’s entrance which makes zero sense coming from a wrestling nerd … just hatin
Ariel has the freedom to do it through. He built his brand from nothing. .
We can get mad at him because his thoughts and opinions can reach millions of people and connect with them. Our stuff cannot and will never.
But Ariel built what he has. He made his spot that he occupies.
Love your stuff Chael. Keep it up.
Sweet shirt and jacket but all i could think about it is how does Kevin Lee fit in this?
I see they have Bo Nickal fighting another bum at UFC 300. That main event better be killer because so far they have over promised and under delivered.
Moon light and canoes. Choir boys and badge scouts. 🤣🤣🤣
I'm just wondering why everyone is pushing people to be able to speak about their opponents murdered parents so freely
If Ariel ran the ufc it would be a lot like Vince Russo ran wcw
I think there are some things that shouldn't be said obviously! But it's the fight game so fighters and fans need to expect it. That doesn't mean it's not distasteful and that we can't have a different opinion of the person who said whatever they said that was distasteful!! My opinion of Colby and Strickland has changed over the last few days so that's completely fine! It makes it exciting and not scripted so my boi Chael made a great point on this one!
Ariel used to stirr shit up between the fighters all the time before dana sidelined him now hes mr magoo please huh if he was a journalist with credentials hed be asking about it with no shame
That Jacket rocked!!
All I remember was how cool that kid's Jacket was.
when does the video start?
As soon as you conflate the UFC president speaking with a fighter to address an area that could be bad for business with censorship, it becomes a problem. The UFC should be well within its right to do so. Fighters, like every other contractor/ employee whatever, shouldn’t be free to do whatever and not have to deal with the consequences. Even if it means having to have a discussion about what you’re doing. And if you continue to do so, that company should act accordingly for success.
That outfit had me rolling!
