Carlos is one of my all time favorites. Way back to WEC. Always root for NBK. Best prefight stink face in the game. I’d love to see him get some wins but if he is ready to stop I can support that. He’s given us so many great fights.
If he's worried about CTE he needs to retire. You can't fight your best with that in the back of your mind. He has nothing left to prove. An all time great and will be a UFC Hall of Famer.
Rewatch the fight, Lawler parries and roles a lot of those punches, or Condit just straight up doesn't land. Still a close fight but quit acting like it was a robbery of any kind.

Carlos' combos are epic already, ever since I saw him fight I try to use some of his magnificent output. One of my all time favorite fighters, he should have been champion vs Lawler.
I don't care what anyone says, if Carlos really wants he could still have one more good run. But I do think he would really need to change something up, the Jackson-Wink camp is really great but after like more than a decade I don't think he'll be learning much anymore. It would be good change things up a little bit and go to other places to reinvent himself again. As great as a gym is, there's no gym on the planet that holds all the knowledge about the sport. Imagine him spending a camp at AKA or something, I think it would do him really good.
I love Condit he’s my favorite fighter of all time , but his weakness is on the ground , when it comes to denying takedowns or submissions he just can’t win , but his stand-up is elite and one of the greats in that regard
Carlos looked good against oliveria, he just got caught in a Choke, he made a mistake , positioning wise ..easy done in the course off a fast grappling fight, but he definitely was doing great against a younger stud
Just waking up, I read the video title as 'Chael Sonnen gives his opinion of Chael Sonnen' and got all excited for a moment... I now need such a video in my life. Please Chael, make it happen.
Holy crap!! : O Chael Sonnen making sense?? WTF? Lol. I actually like Chael because he's a goofball and usually puts on an act. It was nice to hear that he's a fan of Condit. Condit is also one of my favorites. Great fighter and a class act. Need more guys like him as Champion to show these other guys how to act. Much respect to Condit and Chael for telling it like it is.
Chael, I personally think Carlos Condit vs Nick Diaz II in Bellator makes a lot of sense if Carlos is truly healthy and then IF Nick wins, goes on to UFC for a rematch vs GSP with it being in San Jose, CA this time.
I don't think carlos is past it I think cowboy olivera is that good the sequence leading to the finish was irregular as the upkick that rocked carlos led to him operating out of survival. I think a major factor in his disappointing return might be a lack of being pressured early in sparring because that plays a part in him settling into the fight quickly.
good I'm not the only one that posted this. he was stunned by the upkick and Oliveira capitalized on it. surprised no one mentions this out of all these comment. I'm assuming Chael didn't either but I didn't watch the entire video
Condit has the skills of a Jon Jones at Welterweight. If it were not for a couple breaks that did not go his way e.g. Tyron Woodley blowing out his knee, he could have a nice stay as champion. Thanks Chael.The Bad Man.
It's not like hes getting flatlined in sparring, and he isn't the sort of guy that takes that much damage in fights anyway, he's fine for another 3 years atleast.
I'm comparing him to other fighters like Alistair Overeem who has been knocked out like 15 times and still fights. He still is smart and plays it safe when he has too, take the Nick Diaz fight for example.
jonas mikkelsen yea buddy..... Would like to see emil expand training and work with maybe lloyd irvine, heath sims or erik paulson - world class grappling , jj or wrestling. , almost forgot about cheal sonnens quest team would be a nice place to hone his grapping skills. I think its possible for emil meek to have a good fight with niel magny or dong hyun kim as well. To get him in the rankings
The way he fought the greatest fighter ever, GSP and head kicked him.. man do not forget that performance.
And did ALOT of damage from his guard. Was Tony Fergason like.
Chael speaketh .. we listeneth
Dana Diaz far cry 5 much?
Dana Diaz he that smacktalker who talks sense...all hail chael
Who the fucketh far cry

I hope Carlos comes back like the badass he is. Should’ve been the champ when he OBVIOUSLY BEAT Robbie Lawler!
Carlos is not top ten anymore.
Brett Tri you're not in the top 10 million so who are you to talk?

I will rewatch. My impressions when I first watched it was that Carlos defo beat him.

Carlos big hole was his wrestling still a legend
Condit used to be one of the most exciting fighters Remember that Battle with Lawler One of the best fights ever!
Yeah I remember that one, Condit won that fight in my opinion
Carlos looked good against oliveria, he just got caught in a Choke, he made a mistake , positioning wise ..easy done in the course off a fast grappling fight, but he definitely was doing great against a younger stud
AimZ2909 Olivera is young? Nigga looks 46.
Isn't oliveira 30 and condit is only 33 or something
he got stunned by an upkick before getting caught in the choke
Andrew Brannen condits like 200 in fight years though. Dude made his pro debut at 18 and has been in a lot of wars.
Chael is amazing, so insightful and talented
Condit is my favorite fighter of all time. I wish he had better takedown defense.

Came here after his Win against Mcgee and goddamn I’m so stoked NBK is back and looked great
Chael is the fucking man! BTW, I hope Carlos continues to fight.

Carlos is super talented and technical. Really doesn’t get too much better than him when you’re talking about MMA.
I wonder how Condit's coffee standing is doing 😂

Cole's World deserves more
Somebody needs to show this to carlos

Interesting points chael, insightful and thought provoking but...Artem Lobov. Artem Lobov Chael
Bisping Story about Condit vs Special Forces Guy --- i think their is a video on that.
Always sad to see those kind of G loose a bit of their shine. Years of fighting, injuries and some wars obviously.
I love carlos..but I don't want to see himself harsh. I'm already seeing. But I love the NATURAL BORN KILLER
chael sonnen bellator fighter world expert
Carlos needs to gain muscle in the lats and thighs and hamstring to put 15 pounds on for fight day and have more punch,he has the moves .
Carlos was scary like 5 years ago
If Carlos had much better takedown defence he would've been champion (especially after GSP left the division).
cte? has he even been properly flatlined yet?
majority of brain damage is caused in sparring
You don't have to be flatlined to develop CTE. Brain damage is more from accumulation of strikes than one KO.
It's not like hes getting flatlined in sparring, and he isn't the sort of guy that takes that much damage in fights anyway, he's fine for another 3 years atleast.

@hi tech he has been in some zones for sure
He looked good, he should fight Cowboy that’d be fucking awesome
He just did and lost.
Maia already took condits confidence.. did you saw carlos face at his recent weight in? Looks like hes not that interested in fighting anymore
Even tho he's a Bellator fighter, Chael sure does keep UFC in his mouth. lol
💪☠💀🔴
Diaz condit rematch
@emilvahallameek vs @carloscondit
Seth Stidams Uuuuh thats the fight !

I think usada got him.
Carlos had the best stand up but weak wrestling
Carlos Condit was never "amazing"..He was a grinder, a better version of Matt Brown.
Sorry but he was amazing. Good bjj poor wrestling unreal striking.
first
