its not the act thats the problem its how staged and fake it is.....as an example.... conor and chael are good tash talkers but its part of their personality....they have fun with it....not staged and we can acxept that....this was like bad acting and obviously staged....more importantly lesnar is so undeserving its a joke
his gimmick is lame though....hes rarely good at it...but it was still setup.....and just because there are other fights doesnt make this less of a joke.....how about chuck lidell vs dc......oh what a high that would be....lets do it ehh.....its okay there are fights every other week....hell how about dc vs tank abott...i also wanna see the golden st warriors vs the harlem globtrotters for the nba title......you know that harlem team is flashy ....im sure they can talk some trash to sell the series
i know you think you have a valid point......because ...muh money...gotta sell....but this is a sport...not solely about making money....dont care how you and chael agree and think you are smarter than everyone.....but it should go to who deserves it and things will eventually work itself out on the money side.....if not then get rid of belts and just throw random people against each other
Show me who in the heavyweight division deserves the spot for the title fight against DC? Pick a 40 year old man or the young guy who isn't a proven draw yet. Derrick Lewis blew it, Francis Nganno is too scared to punch, Reem is on horse meat, Cain is never gonna fight his friend, Jon Jones is playing Mario Kart all day.
Mo3taz Sj volkov got fucked up already and DC would destroy blaydes at this point. Blaydes is way to slow for him and has proven to gas out at times. 39 yr old D.C. has a ridiculous gas tank and at heavyweight has even greater one punch power. Blaydes will go to sleep if they fight and there's no way his wrestling beats D.C.. D.C. will only go for the money at this point as well as no one outside of mma knows who the fook razor blaydes is. The fight to make is Gustafson at light hvy before he fights brock.
Jones doesn't even count he's never fought at HW he has only entertained the idea. And yes the HW division is shallow DC beat the only guy who can really challenge him, he might as well fight Brock and earn that big money late in his career. Bisping did the exact same thing won a title and knew his career would be over soon so fought gsp for a big payday while the chance was there, DC deserves a chance as well. Fight Brock, vacate, retire I say.
Carl Donelson i actually think derrick " my back hurts" lewis would give blaydes a few problems. He was afraid of Francis power but will try to pressure fight blaydes. If yall watched hunt vs blaydes u know blaydes has some holes in his game and can get caught with some flush punches. I think lewis sleeps blaydes if his back isn't broken. ( stops being a big fat pussy)
John G Nah! Volkov def Werdum and he won 6 of his last fight! And he made weight for ufc226 to step in if someone was out ! As for Blaydes he def Overeem and many think he deserves a shot in this situation, but brock isn't even an amateur fighter he lost 2 of his last fights and last one was NC , if there's no contenders you can say it's about the money
Brock steps in the ring in a suit and everyone talks abt it. In a moment he generated more attention than his opponents have generated in their lifetime.
Yea I don't remember the last time UFC got this much mainstream attention probably a Conner or Rousey fight cause even wrestling channels are talking about it not even knowing DC name and shit lmao
Chael speaking facts. Brock has spent his entire WWE career working closely with big names that KNOW how to work crowds and sell PPVs; McMahon and Heyman... and it showed with his concise, irreverent promo that obviously ruffled feathers, given the crowd's response.
That moment when DC needed to step on the stool so that he could climb on to the fence is hilarious:) and when that little guy pushed Brock LOL!!!! COMEDY
I wonder if Brock would've done the shove if it was Jones who cut the promo. I think Brock knew at the back of his mind that him and DC were on friendly terms so he tried to see how far he could go.
You're daft. DC's clinch is one of the best in MMA. Its the one place he has consistently worked everyone he has ever fought, including Jones. You have no clue what you're watching.
Chris, the lack of strength in the clinch and wrestling is due to cutting so much weight on a chubby frame at an old age. Even still his clinch and dirty boxing is second to none. With no weight cut he still retains his hand speed with more power and more strength, while being harder to move and control in the clinch. Also he has leverage advantage when it comes down to the clinch game. Heavyweight DC can beat anyone on any given night.
INb4 Cain comes out and DC thinks he's there to help but then he low blows DC and Brock gets the win then Brock and Cain shake hands and start a new heel stable, and DC has to ask his biggest enemy "Jon Jones" for help to take out his former best friend and Brock.
Dude your podcast is like a fudging unicorn. You are so eloquent, sharp and witty. You can see why you receive so many views just starting this channel not too long ago! Just no nonsense frank and sincere commentary. Just so refreshing to be able to view such. This is absolutely phuckin $$$ here. Best commentary in a long, long time!
I like that he doesn't take himself too seriously and act like he has real beef. It's cringe-worthy when people are like that. Case in point: Colby Covington. DC just tries to have fun and get some banter out of his opponent.
No matter who won - DC or Stipe would’ve both been playing the face the moment Brock steps in the Octagon. Brock saw just how much the crowd was feeling DC that night so he turned up his heel even more I believe than he was anticipating. Chael understands this better than any other but Brock did brilliantly and it ends up being an insane moment you will all remember.
You will probably not see this but you have been one of my favourite fighters ever since back in the day before the ufc was big and the way you see the sport is great and refreshing to see a fighter/ legend of the sport talk the truth not bullshit.
if DC acted like brock or didn't smile it would have come off as being faker than it already was. obviously it was somewhat fake and that's for the promo and the money, but DC is the good guy here, the good guy can smile all he wants. i know you love to play the heel, which is why you completely missed that DC didn't miss anything, he played his part perfectly. you're not the smartest guy in the room, you're just slightly smarter than the dumbest, and those are the people who said they are just doing this for money... no shit.
SincereDoper DC is literally that guy that smiles and plays nice and isn't very charismatic and IS the good guy but everyone wants to see him lose to the supposed bad guy. His personality just isn't there
True. The audience knows already that alot of the trash talk is for show and to draw a crowd. But by keeping a straight face and never breaking characters (which is something that pro wrestling has perfected). You cause the spectator to wonder if it's all for real, even though in the back of their mind they know it probably isn't. Brock Lesnor is great at this. He's the perfect personality to be the heel. And he knows it. It'll be what he does until the day he retires
Plus, every presser, face off, whatever in the UFC is pre-set, what isn't is how they act/react in the moment. Same thing happened here, it was pre-set for Brock to come in the cage, what wasnt set was how Brock acted, you can tell this by D.C.'s face after the shove, it was 100% unexpected.
People just wanna shit on it because of Brock being in WWE. and its childish if u act me. Brock isnt CM Punk, Brock is fn as legit as they come. NCAA D1 Champ, something D.C. couldnt do.
chael really nailed it as usual and broke down everything into proper perspective as usual. Chael is a super intelligent man whos been around the game 4 a long time and his expertise at analyzing is unrivalled. Long after his fighting career is over he will be making a ton of $ as a successful,in demand commentator. Kudos to u as always,sir. Im a huge fan of yours.
I think a lot of people are just upset about seeing the UFC delve into those cheesy WWE shenanigans. Many people take pride in the fact that the UFC tries to portray itself as a sport that is "as real as it gets," so when they see that kind of fluff, they frown upon it thinking "if I wanted to see fake/pretend beef, I'd just watch that WWE crap." Whether you agree or disagree, it's easy to understand why people might be a little turned off by it.
yeah your right but its not like dc , dana and brock sat down and planed the shit. no one knew what was gonna happen until it did, its like improve promo.
The reason i think brock lesnar excites people is not the wwe theatrics its the fact he isnt really a trained fighter like the other guys yet it seems because he is so big/strong/durable he can hold his own. At least thats what gets me excited about brock in the UFC.
0:20 Damn this is why I love Chael so much, he is the real truth talker. Most of these annoying ass internet so called elites were so annoying and disgusting over the whole segment.
Wait, I thought that was real? Are you telling me that Brock was really just there to sell tickets? You ruined it for me now. This is no different than you saying someone's joke before they got to the punchline!
Anton and he is a mediocre fighter that has showboated and talked his way into a ton of big fights and money. McGregor just made 25 million in a boxing match he couldn't win with his mouth. Some get it, some don't I suppose.
I thought Lesnar's speech was shit and cringy af. Daniel's line:"push me now, i'll sleep you later" was by far the most effective line said in the cage that night
DCs tries a bit too hard on the mike but I actually thought Lesner acted like piece a shit when he came in the cage. Don’t think anything that happened will help sell the Ppv any more than it would have done anyway. Post fight shud have been all about DCs achievement. Using the the opportunity to promote Lesner vs DC just seemed tacky and desperate.
DC just has fun on the mic that's why he's always smiling. People who try too hard on the mic are the ones that take themselves too seriously and act like they have real beef. Case in point: Colby Covington. Conor McGregor is at least funny though
Brock will win. Then braun will cash in his money in the bank contract. Tests will prove brock took steriods. DC will cry. Jon jones will play ninetendo switch all day.
Chael’s opinion was completely different when DC was sat next to him on the desk, he said “I loved the line ‘push me now get slept later’ that was a great line”.
Joakazia It was and uncle Chael genuinely did liked it. But he it too smart as a broadcaster to be the annoying smarty pants "joe rogan" broad pointing shit out to ruin DC's moment on a fucking ESPN interview.
did we watch the same video? He talked very highly of DC, especially of his UFC career. The only negative thing he said is that he's not as good at promoting a fight as Brock Lesnar. And given Lesnar's background, that should be obvious.
Jose Ortega, lol what he’s saying is for the fan’s benefit too. It’s the gamesmanship before the game. Believe it or not this happens at every level of fighting, from everyday ordinary street fights to the highest level of fighting. If you don’t find it interesting then you’re missing half the fun!
You're absolutely right about the promo aspect. Lesnar killed it. Funny thing is he doesn't promo in WWE, Paul Heyman acts as his mouth piece. It may have been staged, who knows if it was DC better get schooled up pretty quickly on how to effectively deliver a decent promo.
DC calling out Brock, after his win, even though, clearly staged, was THE HIGHLIGHT of the night... When Brock "pushed" him, I had to laugh, cuz he was smiling/laughing, and barely pushed him.. DC line bout "push me now, go to sleep later" was great.. the whole exchange was great. Only thing I DIDNT like, was Brock, talking shit about the other fighters.. I know it's just a promo, but still, not needed.. I havent actually paid for a fight, since McGregor n Floyd fought... but I will definitely be buying Brock vs DC, and Lidell vs Ortiz..I wont make a prediction on Liddell/Ortiz, but, I think, Brock smashes DC... Clean, or not.. He is an absolute animal!... and a huge payday for both... I would, gladly, get in the octagon with Brock, for that kinda money... I would only hope n pray that I lived to spend it... one of his shots, or DC's would put me to sleep, quick, fast, and in one hell of a fucking hurry....
Calling Ngannou ans Stipe piece's of shit, riled the crowd up and MMA fans, which will translate to more $$$$$$$$$. Brock carried the whole thing. No shove, no drama.
I realize you probably don't read these comments Mr sonnen however there is something I would like to see and that is you get hold of ari shafur and slap the piss out of that nerd for the rude comments he said about you on the Rogan podcast...apparently he has been doing jujitsu and feels brave enuff to put you down lol.
lol, I think you might have looked into it to much, he is a COMEDIAN, and I'm sure Chael is big enough to laugh it off as a joke... and "Mr Sonnen"...lol....are you 12..
I think that was 100% real I think Brock came in there wanting to throw down. Even Dana said At the press conference that he told Brock to relax and calm down I don’t think anybody expected him to come in there and push cupcake Daniel Cormier.
The Champ Is here Dude it's 100% promo he's a professional wrestler lmao what more do you want lol. Didn't you see the little guy from Cormier's camp push Brock and Dana takes him away and his team laugh at him. Watch the video you have to generate interest.
yeah it was a promo, no one is denying that fact, what the OP was trying to say was it was more of a shoot promo, yea it was pre-set to have Brock come in the cage, what wasnt set was how he came in and shit on the other HW's and shoved D.C. across the cage. You can tell by D.C.'s reaction that it was 100% unexpected. Everything is setup to a point...i dont know why people say that, like they are exposing something...every presser and face off ever in the UFC was a preset promo, whats not set is how they react during the promo...just stop.
marwan The best secret of this shit circus is that it works whether the fans recognize it or not, if you don’t believe me just read all the comments this whole subject and spectacle are making. Do you wanna see the fight? I know I do! Lol
Brock has skinny little legs. DC is going to single or double leg him once then ground and pound Brock until the ref steps in or Brock gets knocked out. Should be a fun build up if Brock can make it 6 months with the Golden Snitch and USADA on his back.
No "you all want to see it" is incorrect. Many people like me think that Brock has not earned the fight. I dont want to see the fight until he wins a fight clean in against the top5. How long has it been since Brock got a clean top 5 win??????
Emperor Farage UFC 1 was a long time ago. Brock not some unproven big guy. Hes actually has been in MMA for a long time. He however has not earned the title shot. Again, I ask how long ago has it been since hes had s top 5 win while clean.
Stankonia3k the PVP buys argument can also be used for CM Punk getting his shot in the UFC aswell. Rousey can sell a PVP better then Brock can at this point or at least rival him. Should she get an instant title shot?
Dion Landphier I'm not arguing for or against, I'm simply explaining why what is going to happen IS going to happen and it's because more people than not WILL watch. If that were not the case then it wouldn't happen.
Yeah I don't get it. Brock is as basic as it gets. DC talking to Brock telling him to get his ass in cage was way better than Brock calling everyone a piece of shit. Brock has negative mic skills. He's just a big guy that turns red and goes aggro.
Dc cut a better promo than Brock imo, Brock’s was hella weak lol “ngannou the piece of shit, stipe the piece of shit, dc I’m coming for you” lmao no wonder dude has somebody to speak for him in wwe
Mjeed1992 your a moron he's not gonna try to be like CM punk and cut a ten minute pipe bomb, Brock has always been a man of few words but when he talks you listen.
There's just something about DC that is unlikeable, and I've never been able to figure it out. He does nothing wrong, and is a great fighter, but he just doesn't make the needle move....ever. Hell, 90% of the fans would still root for Jon Jones, even after all the shit he's done wrong, and I'm one of the 90%. It's a mystery??
Your spot on, i think its his smugness...yea hes done nothing wrong and now holds 2 belts, but its his attitude of "im better then everyone" he doesnt even have to say it, his body language says it...he just has a personality that gets under your skin...like that summer presser, when D.C. had the belt before they went at it (jones) the 2nd time, D.C. is so cringe at trash talk...hes not that guy and when he tries to sound like a G its just wierd... your right on that its kinda of a mystery and most people who might of cheered D.C. sleepin Stipe, would root for Jones if they faught again. We live in a society where most people dont care for the squeeky clean image, and when people know thats who you are, but then you try to talk like a badass or a G it comes across as phony..if i was D.C. i wouldnt of accepted the belt back after the head kick k.o. and jones coming up dirty...i know its a belt, but it did D.C. more harm then good with fans, especially the diehard mma fans, because just about everyone called him a paper champion with a fake belt...how can that be good??? id rather not have the fn thing....honestly D.C. had more fans at that time, before the fake belt...i think everyone is underestimating Brock in this fight...hes as legit as they come, D.C. has the advantage, but thats on paper, all that goes out the window when the cage door shuts...
Because he's a black man that carries himself well that's what u don't like. He's not the stereotypical black man and I think that's what bothers you because he does nothing wrong
Why are you going to come and put race into mix? I know this might be shocking to you but people can have an opinion on someone and there is nothing wrong with it. People can disagree and there is nothing wrong with it. But of course you want to be a racist, and make it a race issue because someone who is white, has an opinion about someone who is black, that you don't like or agree with. Your comment and thinking shows why we can't get past race in the country and world.
Keep it real would be lame af since most of these guys actually respect each other and are friends and don't actually mean a word they say on mic. I mean people knew wrestling was fake but look at Attitude Era WWF that shit set PPV records cause it was staged but highly entertaining.
NameCalling MakesYouInvalid Cain Velasquez is a smart fighter, during that fight you're talking about Cain Velasquez ran away from Brock the entire fight tiring him out, but Brock learned from that fight because Mark Hunt tried the same running away tactics as Velasquez and we all know what happened in that fight.. Brock would Destroy DC bottom line !!
Tekboy 808 I agree anyone can win at anytime, just like anyone could win the lottery. However anyone doesn't win the lottery except old ppl.. Brock would Destroy DC without a doubt
MegaBarnes1981 He's hyped because weather it be wwe or ufc no fighter never fights Brock head up they all run just like u would if u were in the ring with him
brock got no striking and cant take a punch as we have seen over and and over again and dcs has way better wrestling credentials only thing brock got for him going are the steroids dc will win this pretty easy
Okay, smartypants, why did you show up for work today? 😂
Jake Smith what's this "work" thing I keep hearing about?
its not the act thats the problem its how staged and fake it is.....as an example.... conor and chael are good tash talkers but its part of their personality....they have fun with it....not staged and we can acxept that....this was like bad acting and obviously staged....more importantly lesnar is so undeserving its a joke
his gimmick is lame though....hes rarely good at it...but it was still setup.....and just because there are other fights doesnt make this less of a joke.....how about chuck lidell vs dc......oh what a high that would be....lets do it ehh.....its okay there are fights every other week....hell how about dc vs tank abott...i also wanna see the golden st warriors vs the harlem globtrotters for the nba title......you know that harlem team is flashy ....im sure they can talk some trash to sell the series
i know you think you have a valid point......because ...muh money...gotta sell....but this is a sport...not solely about making money....dont care how you and chael agree and think you are smarter than everyone.....but it should go to who deserves it and things will eventually work itself out on the money side.....if not then get rid of belts and just throw random people against each other
Jake Smith are you my brother?
Show me who in the heavyweight division deserves the spot for the title fight against DC? Pick a 40 year old man or the young guy who isn't a proven draw yet. Derrick Lewis blew it, Francis Nganno is too scared to punch, Reem is on horse meat, Cain is never gonna fight his friend, Jon Jones is playing Mario Kart all day.
Alexander Volkov - Blaydes
Mo3taz Sj volkov got fucked up already and DC would destroy blaydes at this point. Blaydes is way to slow for him and has proven to gas out at times. 39 yr old D.C. has a ridiculous gas tank and at heavyweight has even greater one punch power. Blaydes will go to sleep if they fight and there's no way his wrestling beats D.C.. D.C. will only go for the money at this point as well as no one outside of mma knows who the fook razor blaydes is. The fight to make is Gustafson at light hvy before he fights brock.
Jones doesn't even count he's never fought at HW he has only entertained the idea. And yes the HW division is shallow DC beat the only guy who can really challenge him, he might as well fight Brock and earn that big money late in his career. Bisping did the exact same thing won a title and knew his career would be over soon so fought gsp for a big payday while the chance was there, DC deserves a chance as well. Fight Brock, vacate, retire I say.
Carl Donelson i actually think derrick " my back hurts" lewis would give blaydes a few problems. He was afraid of Francis power but will try to pressure fight blaydes. If yall watched hunt vs blaydes u know blaydes has some holes in his game and can get caught with some flush punches. I think lewis sleeps blaydes if his back isn't broken. ( stops being a big fat pussy)
John G Nah! Volkov def Werdum and he won 6 of his last fight! And he made weight for ufc226 to step in if someone was out ! As for Blaydes he def Overeem and many think he deserves a shot in this situation, but brock isn't even an amateur fighter he lost 2 of his last fights and last one was NC , if there's no contenders you can say it's about the money
I thought dc was on point with "push me now and you'll go to sleep later"
yeah that was pretty good for thinking on his feet
Yeah that was good
Jorge Arias that's probably how it's going to happen too lol , dc ftw
It soaked my panties hearing that
Bloodybobby gamecat x u better hope so .
Chael seems like a guy who woulda fought for Harvards MMA team if ivy leagues had that kinda thing. Haha!
Brock steps in the ring in a suit and everyone talks abt it. In a moment he generated more attention than his opponents have generated in their lifetime.
he generated more attention then everyone in the last 4 damn pay per views...
Yea I don't remember the last time UFC got this much mainstream attention probably a Conner or Rousey fight cause even wrestling channels are talking about it not even knowing DC name and shit lmao
"You know what else draws attention.... a golfer with an arm growing out of his ass" - Shooter McGavin
Rahul Gahlawat Brock sucks. In his whole UFC career he was juicing. No respect for cheaters. Should stay in fake wrestling
Yeah, fucking sad isn’t it?
How about Lesnar vs Cormier in a casket match with undertaker as the special guest referee; book it dana
Higher Media keyboard warrior trying to know everything
Renzo 001111000 u sound stupid
lmao that's funny
Higher Media fuck ya
Holy shit... fucking fuck yes...
Chael speaking facts. Brock has spent his entire WWE career working closely with big names that KNOW how to work crowds and sell PPVs; McMahon and Heyman... and it showed with his concise, irreverent promo that obviously ruffled feathers, given the crowd's response.
onetwothree123 he gets payed 500k per wwe fight for a reason lol
its not a fight its fake u realize the wwe is fake right?
Dan Reeves Same business objective: sell PPVs.
That promo was pretty much taken from WWF lol when Mike Tyson shoved the hell out of Stone Cold back when it was actually good
I love listening to Chael talk. The observations are great, his approach is no nonsense, and he just makes sense.
Chael! You don't ever talk about the business like this! Do not reveal the secrets of the business!
Very original!
nzigga06 as long as Chael continues to reveal the secrets people will continue to cheekily call him out in the comments
Son Emet Rogan fanboys trash Chael but they always watch his videos and comment. Got nothing else to do with your lives eh??
I was thinking the same thing. What a hypocrite.
Champ Kind I haven’t seen anyone trashing him. Just poking fun like he poked fun at Joe
That moment when DC needed to step on the stool so that he could climb on to the fence is hilarious:) and when that little guy pushed Brock LOL!!!! COMEDY
Brock's push was at 20%. They're both professionals.
I'd say at least 40%. It was a heck of a shove, whether DC was prepared or not.
Dc was drained id say 25 percent along with the forward momentum equates to 35% shove power
And who says the MMA community can't calculate physics?
I think it was about 26.73%
Is this an autistic debate or something?
It was a good promo, uncle dana needs to have a nice meeting with usada so that we can see this fight happen
I'm sure Brock now has a connect for a good dr to Micro dose TNE
You have spoken like a true poet
Lol wouldn't be in that cage if he wasn't already being tested
No ones going to feed this troll? Someone better feed this fuckin troll! Someone pickup a pitchfork and yell at this guy or im gonna do it!
Aaron Scott I know nothing about steroids, but is it possible for fighters to test clean through USADA but still be on them?
“Why are you at work” haha best call I heard
Man, I forget how brilliant Chael is sometimes. Not just on how he sees the whole thing from afar but his quick and sharp way with words.
Chael "don't wink at the crowd" Sonnen
I wonder if Brock would've done the shove if it was Jones who cut the promo. I think Brock knew at the back of his mind that him and DC were on friendly terms so he tried to see how far he could go.
Yeah I think he probably would've thought twice before shoving Jones.
That's true. Jones completely outclasses the professional hugger. Lesnar wins by tko in round 2 against cormigay
Interesting opinion. Not sure I agree, Jones is on another level, I don't think anyone on the planet could beat him.
Brock isn't afraid of anyone.
Switch to think no one can ko Jones is laughable
Man if Brock somehow wins imagine all the people saying it was scripted!
You're daft. DC's clinch is one of the best in MMA. Its the one place he has consistently worked everyone he has ever fought, including Jones. You have no clue what you're watching.
Chris, the lack of strength in the clinch and wrestling is due to cutting so much weight on a chubby frame at an old age. Even still his clinch and dirty boxing is second to none.

SEKYHM sounds fucking good
Ryan Hadley people are sleeping on Brock and are forgetting that his the former champion
Dude your podcast is like a fudging unicorn. You are so eloquent, sharp and witty. You can see why you receive so many views just starting this channel not too long ago! Just no nonsense frank and sincere commentary. Just so refreshing to be able to view such. This is absolutely phuckin $$$ here. Best commentary in a long, long time!
Stop giving up the secrets of THE BUSINESS Chael!
UFc wants to be WWE tahts why it needs them
Bro come up with something better to say. Six other people already beat you too it with this same super original comment.
I don’t read other comments. Thanks for the tip though. I thought I was being quite the comedian before you straightened me out.
Look the 4th wall was broken. Chael should KNOW better. We need as many comments as possible to acknowledge this atrocity!
O.J. Simpson lame.. he said that because joe works for the UFC.. does chael work for the UFC??? You took a major L here..
I think DC is GREAT on the mic and holds his own, even underrated to an extent.
Even though he's confident, he's got that nice guy persona though that doesn't really cut it in the fight shit-talking game
hes really cringe. Nothing he says is believable and it doesnt flow like when the greats trash talk. His comebacks are horrible too
people want to act like lesnar's some ninja on the mic like dominick cruz. steepay, cain and fedor might actually have more personality than brock lol
I like that he doesn't take himself too seriously and act like he has real beef. It's cringe-worthy when people are like that. Case in point: Colby Covington. DC just tries to have fun and get some banter out of his opponent.
DC's eye pokes were definitely underrated. Jon Jones would have been proud.
Lesnar vs Cormier in a hell in a cell match no DQ book it Dana.
lmao @ "OK SMARTY PANTS, WHY DID YOU SHOW UP FOR WORK TODAY?" TO GET PAID !!!
No matter who won - DC or Stipe would’ve both been playing the face the moment Brock steps in the Octagon. Brock saw just how much the crowd was feeling DC that night so he turned up his heel even more I believe than he was anticipating. Chael understands this better than any other but Brock did brilliantly and it ends up being an insane moment you will all remember.
IU no no no, brock is the master at that. Chael is the student who got an A in Brocks course
“Ok, smarty pants. Why did you show up for work today?” Ha!!!
You will probably not see this but you have been one of my favourite fighters ever since back in the day before the ufc was big and the way you see the sport is great and refreshing to see a fighter/ legend of the sport talk the truth not bullshit.
Your Father I did see it so thankyou
Ryan The lion lol
Dude, Chael is the commentator / analyst GOAT for this.
if DC acted like brock or didn't smile it would have come off as being faker than it already was. obviously it was somewhat fake and that's for the promo and the money, but DC is the good guy here, the good guy can smile all he wants. i know you love to play the heel, which is why you completely missed that DC didn't miss anything, he played his part perfectly. you're not the smartest guy in the room, you're just slightly smarter than the dumbest, and those are the people who said they are just doing this for money... no shit.
SincereDoper DC is literally that guy that smiles and plays nice and isn't very charismatic and IS the good guy but everyone wants to see him lose to the supposed bad guy. His personality just isn't there
Great video! "You're not the smartest guy in the room.....you're the most annoying" Classic! So true.
True. The audience knows already that alot of the trash talk is for show and to draw a crowd. But by keeping a straight face and never breaking characters (which is something that pro wrestling has perfected). You cause the spectator to wonder if it's all for real, even though in the back of their mind they know it probably isn't. Brock Lesnor is great at this. He's the perfect personality to be the heel. And he knows it. It'll be what he does until the day he retires
Plus, every presser, face off, whatever in the UFC is pre-set, what isn't is how they act/react in the moment. Same thing happened here, it was pre-set for Brock to come in the cage, what wasnt set was how Brock acted, you can tell this by D.C.'s face after the shove, it was 100% unexpected.
People just wanna shit on it because of Brock being in WWE. and its childish if u act me. Brock isnt CM Punk, Brock is fn as legit as they come. NCAA D1 Champ, something D.C. couldnt do.
chael really nailed it as usual and broke down everything into proper perspective as usual. Chael is a super intelligent man whos been around the game 4 a long time and his expertise at analyzing is unrivalled. Long after his fighting career is over he will be making a ton of $ as a successful,in demand commentator. Kudos to u as always,sir. Im a huge fan of yours.
Joe Rogan: DC and Lesnar are doing this for PPV buys.
I loved it when Brock called Nagannou and Miocic a piece of shit. It was hilarious.
CHAEL SPEAKS TRUTH LIKE NO OTHER ☝️
Bravo.
I swear, Chael doesn't stop impressing me.
As a fan of both pro wrestling and MMA...I WANNA SEE THIS
Chael was the original guy to blend WWE/UFC. He knows what's up.
I think a lot of people are just upset about seeing the UFC delve into those cheesy WWE shenanigans. Many people take pride in the fact that the UFC tries to portray itself as a sport that is "as real as it gets," so when they see that kind of fluff, they frown upon it thinking "if I wanted to see fake/pretend beef, I'd just watch that WWE crap." Whether you agree or disagree, it's easy to understand why people might be a little turned off by it.
yeah your right but its not like dc , dana and brock sat down and planed the shit. no one knew what was gonna happen until it did, its like improve promo.
Vegeta: You know, the funny thing is I know you're playing me, but you're right
The MMA Gangsta Troll Is Speakin Da Truth Again. 💯
If only chael was as good a fighter as he is a commentator and analyst. This guy is SOOO easy and fun to listen to.
Chael "Why did you show up to work today" Sonnen
This is the most accurate Chael Sonnen we have ever seen.
The reason i think brock lesnar excites people is not the wwe theatrics its the fact he isnt really a trained fighter like the other guys yet it seems because he is so big/strong/durable he can hold his own. At least thats what gets me excited about brock in the UFC.
Fred Flintstone No, just look at him, hes a freak.
Stephen Whitemore reading comprehension isn't your friend.
Not trained? He was an amateur wrestling champion, look up his NCAA record, something like 106-5
Emperor Farage Greco Roman Wrestling is a martial art, just because you don't like wrestling doesn't mean he's untrained
0:20 Damn this is why I love Chael so much, he is the real truth talker. Most of these annoying ass internet so called elites were so annoying and disgusting over the whole segment.
Side-effects of steroids: losing your hair.
That line DC had. "Push me now. Get slept later" was great tho.
Wait, I thought that was real? Are you telling me that Brock was really just there to sell tickets? You ruined it for me now. This is no different than you saying someone's joke before they got to the punchline!
altaris2000 there fooling us all , apparently where all oblivious to the secrets of the business .
“Ok smarty pants!” Hahhaha lost it.
This!
And speaking of amateurs, why are Dana White and Joe Rogan always smiling like idiots no matter how serious the situation or face-off?
Chael Giving away secrets of the business like it's going out of style!
Chael talking shit. Love it.
for once, he has some good points
Dc turned into a pretty good commentator with Joe and John.. he was horrible trash talking on the mic though
Hey did you know DC thinks it should be illegal for women to fart
I've never seen anyone so serious about the publicity side of things Chael. You're like the CEO of Showboating.
Anton and he is a mediocre fighter that has showboated and talked his way into a ton of big fights and money. McGregor just made 25 million in a boxing match he couldn't win with his mouth. Some get it, some don't I suppose.
This is why I like Chael! He simply says it like it is.
I thought Lesnar's speech was shit and cringy af. Daniel's line:"push me now, i'll sleep you later" was by far the most effective line said in the cage that night
You’re 100% right about this one Chael. Who wouldn’t want to see this fight?
How dare Chael break the 4th wall and reveal top company secrets! What a dummy...
One of the best vids you've done Sonnen
DCs tries a bit too hard on the mike but I actually thought Lesner acted like piece a shit when he came in the cage. Don’t think anything that happened will help sell the Ppv any more than it would have done anyway. Post fight shud have been all about DCs achievement. Using the the opportunity to promote Lesner vs DC just seemed tacky and desperate.
DC just has fun on the mic that's why he's always smiling. People who try too hard on the mic are the ones that take themselves too seriously and act like they have real beef. Case in point: Colby Covington. Conor McGregor is at least funny though
Paul M wasn't DC the one that said Brock get your ass in this cage.so Brock did that..DC punked out(no punk intended)
best chael ever!!!!!, spot on, this is why chael is underrated, he always speakers the truth!!
Brock will win. Then braun will cash in his money in the bank contract. Tests will prove brock took steriods. DC will cry. Jon jones will play ninetendo switch all day.
Brock is n the Testing pool ,He has to get 6 months of Clean Test then He gets to Fight Tested by 3 Agencys ,Then He is still Tested. Though .
Chael is the TRUTH! Just love it! Especially in the type of world we live in today. Go CHAEL!
Chael’s opinion was completely different when DC was sat next to him on the desk, he said “I loved the line ‘push me now get slept later’ that was a great line”.
Joakazia It was and uncle Chael genuinely did liked it.
But he it too smart as a broadcaster to be the annoying smarty pants "joe rogan" broad pointing shit out to ruin DC's moment on a fucking ESPN interview.
Lol,you crack me up Chael,lol. Including you DC,ahhhrrr!!! Lol
DC made history...admit jealous ones!
did we watch the same video? He talked very highly of DC, especially of his UFC career. The only negative thing he said is that he's not as good at promoting a fight as Brock Lesnar. And given Lesnar's background, that should be obvious.
Lesnar's UFC promos have always been amazing. Ironically enough, not so much in WWE
STOP EXPOSING THE BUSINESS. YOURE RUINING IT FOR THE FANS
sounds like something a WWE fan would say
TheSkippShow Its what chael sonnen said...
awh yeah you're right, I recall that now
Jose Ortega, lol what he’s saying is for the fan’s benefit too. It’s the gamesmanship before the game. Believe it or not this happens at every level of fighting, from everyday ordinary street fights to the highest level of fighting. If you don’t find it interesting then you’re missing half the fun!
John Glaze I was being sarcastic lol. Chael got mad at joe rogan for saying the same things pretty much so it’s just hypocritical
Chael is so great at explaining things to where everyone can understand. I was questioning Saturdays sht show at first. Good points chael.
Head movement!
You're absolutely right about the promo aspect. Lesnar killed it. Funny thing is he doesn't promo in WWE, Paul Heyman acts as his mouth piece. It may have been staged, who knows if it was DC better get schooled up pretty quickly on how to effectively deliver a decent promo.
DC calling out Brock, after his win, even though, clearly staged, was THE HIGHLIGHT of the night... When Brock "pushed" him, I had to laugh, cuz he was smiling/laughing, and barely pushed him.. DC line bout "push me now, go to sleep later" was great.. the whole exchange was great. Only thing I DIDNT like, was Brock, talking shit about the other fighters.. I know it's just a promo, but still, not needed.. I havent actually paid for a fight, since McGregor n Floyd fought... but I will definitely be buying Brock vs DC, and Lidell vs Ortiz..I wont make a prediction on Liddell/Ortiz, but, I think, Brock smashes DC... Clean, or not.. He is an absolute animal!... and a huge payday for both... I would, gladly, get in the octagon with Brock, for that kinda money... I would only hope n pray that I lived to spend it... one of his shots, or DC's would put me to sleep, quick, fast, and in one hell of a fucking hurry....
that's what being a "heel" means. You're not supposed to like him.
Jay Edwards dc n brock is cool so long as the under card is dam decent
Thank you for letting us know that championship bouts aren’t between the best fighters, they’re between the most likely to make money
Well, Black Fedor most definately made Lesnar look like the amateur with his witty lines.
Calling Ngannou ans Stipe piece's of shit, riled the crowd up and MMA fans, which will translate to more $$$$$$$$$.
Brock carried the whole thing. No shove, no drama.
Brilliant commentary. Chael is the man! Always enjoy his matter of fact point of view.
Brown stroman is ready to cash in at UFC😂
Love Chael's "guy in the room" analogies
Brock knew he was in the cage with a ametuer....himself
putting likes on your own comments i see...
I like this guy Chael Sonnen. Something about the icy cold look on his face !
I realize you probably don't read these comments Mr sonnen however there is something I would like to see and that is you get hold of ari shafur and slap the piss out of that nerd for the rude comments he said about you on the Rogan podcast...apparently he has been doing jujitsu and feels brave enuff to put you down lol.
Clint Collins Rogan hangs with the annoying fucks you would expect him to hang out with.. 😂
Azzury Street I don't hate anyone but I bet that ari would shit himself if chael saw him someplace. It at least deserves a rebuttal.
lol, I think you might have looked into it to much, he is a COMEDIAN, and I'm sure Chael is big enough to laugh it off as a joke... and "Mr Sonnen"...lol....are you 12..
eh that dude was high as a kite at the time
Nohb'dy 11 fucking ripped...but no excuse.
@ChaelSonnen "Get out of my ring I have pictures to take" That was legit man, that was really funny. Admit that at least.
I think that was 100% real I think Brock came in there wanting to throw down. Even Dana said At the press conference that he told Brock to relax and calm down I don’t think anybody expected him to come in there and push cupcake Daniel Cormier.
The Champ Is here Dude it's 100% promo he's a professional wrestler lmao what more do you want lol. Didn't you see the little guy from Cormier's camp push Brock and Dana takes him away and his team laugh at him. Watch the video you have to generate interest.
yeah it was a promo, no one is denying that fact, what the OP was trying to say was it was more of a shoot promo, yea it was pre-set to have Brock come in the cage, what wasnt set was how he came in and shit on the other HW's and shoved D.C. across the cage. You can tell by D.C.'s reaction that it was 100% unexpected. Everything is setup to a point...i dont know why people say that, like they are exposing something...every presser and face off ever in the UFC was a preset promo, whats not set is how they react during the promo...just stop.
Good ol' Chael revealing secrets of the business. I love it
So much for " Secrets of the business "
marwan The best secret of this shit circus is that it works whether the fans recognize it or not, if you don’t believe me just read all the comments this whole subject and spectacle are making. Do you wanna see the fight? I know I do! Lol
The funniest part was when Daniels guy pushed Brock and he didn’t even know the guy was there
Brock has skinny little legs. DC is going to single or double leg him once then ground and pound Brock until the ref steps in or Brock gets knocked out. Should be a fun build up if Brock can make it 6 months with the Golden Snitch and USADA on his back.
Lesnar's wrestling is legit. i dont know about that.
Brock did smile as he was walking into the cage then cleared it up and got his mad face on real quick. Pro entertainer.
No "you all want to see it" is incorrect. Many people like me think that Brock has not earned the fight.
I dont want to see the fight until he wins a fight clean in against the top5. How long has it been since Brock got a clean top 5 win??????
Emperor Farage UFC 1 was a long time ago. Brock not some unproven big guy. Hes actually has been in MMA for a long time. He however has not earned the title shot. Again, I ask how long ago has it been since hes had s top 5 win while clean.
"You all want to see it" is of course hyperbole though. Those who don't are in the minority. The PPV buys will prove such. I get your gripes however.
Stankonia3k the PVP buys argument can also be used for CM Punk getting his shot in the UFC aswell.
Rousey can sell a PVP better then Brock can at this point or at least rival him. Should she get an instant title shot?
Dion Landphier I'm not arguing for or against, I'm simply explaining why what is going to happen IS going to happen and it's because more people than not WILL watch. If that were not the case then it wouldn't happen.
Stankonia3k and who does not know that? If that's your reason of posting your telling us everything we already know.
Gotta love Chael's Perspectives!
Barb wire match👍👍👍
Chael living in his own world and seeing his own distorted reality.
Brock is bad at the mic what are you talking about. Tell me why does he need Paul Heyman by his side at all times at WWE?
Yeah I don't get it. Brock is as basic as it gets. DC talking to Brock telling him to get his ass in cage was way better than Brock calling everyone a piece of shit. Brock has negative mic skills. He's just a big guy that turns red and goes aggro.
Dc cut a better promo than Brock imo, Brock’s was hella weak lol “ngannou the piece of shit, stipe the piece of shit, dc I’m coming for you” lmao no wonder dude has somebody to speak for him in wwe
Swearing doesn't make a promo good. This was pretty bad. Nothing of substance.
Mjeed1992 your a moron he's not gonna try to be like CM punk and cut a ten minute pipe bomb, Brock has always been a man of few words but when he talks you listen.
Azzury Street It's a bad UFC promo. They're supposed to sell you a fight not just randomly say swear words like an edgy 13 year old.
Chael is giving away information on the business. He won't stop!
Who is this vampire?
This guys is smart. He should be leading a major corporation. Give this dude major responsibilities....he will not disappoint.
There's just something about DC that is unlikeable, and I've never been able to figure it out. He does nothing wrong, and is a great fighter, but he just doesn't make the needle move....ever. Hell, 90% of the fans would still root for Jon Jones, even after all the shit he's done wrong, and I'm one of the 90%. It's a mystery??
90%???? Sure buddy... the word for this is hater. You're a fucking hater so fuck off.
Heck no man! I like DC and wanted him to beat Jones the first time they fought. Nice guys all the way!
Your spot on, i think its his smugness...yea hes done nothing wrong and now holds 2 belts, but its his attitude of "im better then everyone" he doesnt even have to say it, his body language says it...he just has a personality that gets under your skin...like that summer presser, when D.C. had the belt before they went at it (jones) the 2nd time, D.C. is so cringe at trash talk...hes not that guy and when he tries to sound like a G its just wierd... your right on that its kinda of a mystery and most people who might of cheered D.C. sleepin Stipe, would root for Jones if they faught again. We live in a society where most people dont care for the squeeky clean image, and when people know thats who you are, but then you try to talk like a badass or a G it comes across as phony..if i was D.C. i wouldnt of accepted the belt back after the head kick k.o. and jones coming up dirty...i know its a belt, but it did D.C. more harm then good with fans, especially the diehard mma fans, because just about everyone called him a paper champion with a fake belt...how can that be good??? id rather not have the fn thing....honestly D.C. had more fans at that time, before the fake belt...i think everyone is underestimating Brock in this fight...hes as legit as they come, D.C. has the advantage, but thats on paper, all that goes out the window when the cage door shuts...
Because he's a black man that carries himself well that's what u don't like. He's not the stereotypical black man and I think that's what bothers you because he does nothing wrong
Why are you going to come and put race into mix? I know this might be shocking to you but people can have an opinion on someone and there is nothing wrong with it. People can disagree and there is nothing wrong with it. But of course you want to be a racist, and make it a race issue because someone who is white, has an opinion about someone who is black, that you don't like or agree with. Your comment and thinking shows why we can't get past race in the country and world.
I really love your comments on fighters Chael.
Start making fake wwe promos etc. You are only going to shed doubt on the fights from many cynical people. Keep it real
Please people been doubt fights for years. Nothing new gonna help just more keyboard warriors pretending to know everything.
Keep it real would be lame af since most of these guys actually respect each other and are friends and don't actually mean a word they say on mic. I mean people knew wrestling was fake but look at Attitude Era WWF that shit set PPV records cause it was staged but highly entertaining.
I could hear this guy talk all day! Smart man!
Brock would Destroy DC an I like DC however facts are facts..
DC is trained by Cain Velazquez, the man who destroyed Brock Lesner..
NameCalling MakesYouInvalid Cain Velasquez is a smart fighter, during that fight you're talking about Cain Velasquez ran away from Brock the entire fight tiring him out, but Brock learned from that fight because Mark Hunt tried the same running away tactics as Velasquez and we all know what happened in that fight.. Brock would Destroy DC bottom line !!
Tekboy 808 I agree anyone can win at anytime, just like anyone could win the lottery. However anyone doesn't win the lottery except old ppl.. Brock would Destroy DC without a doubt
MegaBarnes1981 He's hyped because weather it be wwe or ufc no fighter never fights Brock head up they all run just like u would if u were in the ring with him
brock got no striking and cant take a punch as we have seen over and and over again and dcs has way better wrestling credentials only thing brock got for him going are the steroids dc will win this pretty easy
When you’re the smartest guy in the room they got a name for that they don’t call you a genius they call you Chael P Sonnen
