The fact Craig beat both hill and Ankalaev and people are still calling him off purely because of a bad loss to a resurging johnny walker... Smh fans are so fickle.
i love the ufc but the worst fans in professional sports.
Ankaleav was dominating him pretty much the whole fight
I like Paul but didn't realize (UFC fan since only 2021) he beat Ankalaev. Wow!
And he just got caught against Walker…anyone can get caught
@@ericjohnson710 but like lets be honest...what has ankalaev done?
Ive always said Paul Craig is the true darkhorse of the ufc. Dude can literally lose to anyone and also beat anyone.
I hope he doesn’t turn into Michael Johnson 2.0
10wins and 10 losses...exciting lol
He is Scottish... I'm just going to put a truth forward here, Scotland at every sport, bar curling, get beat by the 200th ranked team then go onto beat world champions. Its the Scottish way
Paul Craig for best accent in the ufc
Us Scottish do have a great accent 😂
@@brandynkilpatrickYes we do!
Chael thank you for giving Paul Craig the light he needed. He is just about the only guy I would put money on as a underdog going against bo nickal.
@@JRock_B what the hell does this even mean?
@@JRock_Bweird and unfunny. Good job
I don't think it's a good fight at all. Bo would break him on the ground and on the feet. But, it would be his toughest fight so far.
@@JRock_B you used the word daddy, the only fight you’ve been in is a custody battle
Casual comment
Paul Craig belongs in the best beard GOAT pound for pound list
And successful hair transplants!
@@Ryan-ys2bqis it tho
It definitely makes him look tougher. He doesn’t look like the same guy without the beard that’s for sure
Wonder what products he uses for it
@@GlacierSound looks pretty thick to me not like im his hairdresser, I would say its much better than say Wayne Rooney's
Chael Sonnen is Chael Sonnen, Smart Move…
A little more creative than usual. Respect
I never thought it about that way. But you’re right!
Finally someone has the sense that God gave geese - Chael P. Sonnen
Craig has some scary BJJ so that's probably the last fight I'd take if I were Bo. Bo has the grappling advantage over 99% of the MW division and Craig is in that other 1%. He could easily pick off a bunch of strikers on his way to the belt.
Bo could easily knock him out tho. Craigs shit on his feet and craig cant take him down
But ye, Bo should defo not take Craig down that would be a mistake
@D.P.T.V bo has only smashed cans. Literally fought nobody. Craig has been in there with 205 best fighters and has sub the tops guys. I'm sure Craig would love to get hit on the face to pull guard on Bo.
Paul Craig is dope
"Paul Graig" seems like one of those guys that make u think "no way he's going to submit me from the bottom like he did to the others" until the last moment when u realise "Owh sh*t, he's got me" before u tap.
I am and have always been a fan of the Bearjew.....his ground game is sublime, and his warrior spirit and heart is inspirational
There's a lot of upside for Bo with that fight. A former LHW with a win over Hill, big step up from the level of competition he's being matched up with now.
Ankalaev
@@MitsubishiLancerEvoEvo 8 FQ400> That Evo 10
Chael is in love 🥰 I wonder if Bo Nickel feels that same way
Editor: “hey Chael, you good with our title for this video?”
Chael: “Looks go- wait a second. Change it to Nickel”
Editor: “Yes sir”
Paul Craig will pull his arm off!
By the way guys, it’s pronounced - Crayyig, not Cragg..
Absolute top-notch analysis & punditry! This video is Uncle Chael P. at his best!
Chael actually seemed surprised and impressed by this call out.
I'd love to see this fight, it'd be a great test for both of them
I think Paul Craig should have been Bo’s last fight. As it stands now, Bo needs to fight a top 8 fighter next time out (soon), if he wins convincingly, Bo’s next fight needs to be a title contender fight.
What has he done to deserve a top 8 guy? Arguably, Muniz would be a good test, he might be unranked this week but he’s that top of the unranked guys Bo needs to face
@@Ryan-ys2bq What did Brock Lesnar do to get a title shot after going 2-1 or 3-1 in his entire ufc career? That guy was the biggest NCAA wrestling underachiever ever. One title? Bo is 20 times the fighter and wrestler he ever was. Bo has fought only 2 fights in his entire UFC career and his last fight was the largest betting spread in UFC history. His second UFC fight ever and he set a record for betting odds. He also proved those odd right. Look, if you can’t see that this guy deserves to budge a few spots in line, than I suggest you go crawl back into your mom’s basement with cheese puffs and pop tarts and let the adults discuss this. You should feel privileged that I even responded to you. Take your win and forget this even happened to you.
If Paul Craig ever learns better striking defense, particularly head movement, he will could be a top 5 contender. That's his biggest flaw currently and I hope he keeps expanding his skillset and isn't content in being a one trick pony. I would love for a Character like Craig to hold the title
Craig has improved tremendously between his last 2 fights.
Chanel finally gets his wish! Someone actually called the man out!
That’s real talk right there Chael! Makes sense, give the man a title shot already. Make it out of the ordinary. Give people something to talk about
That’s a good fight two of the best grapplers in the world
I would love to see that match
Big Paul Craig fan, bigger Bo fan, but after watching Bo and Gordon Ryan roll it’s hard to say how Paul Craig can withstand the abuse Bo can inflict on the feet and the way Bo can move on the ground with a black belt. It would be a good fight
100% I agree with Chael. They need to give Bo the big fight.
♫ Uncle Chael, Uncle Chael, there's no bad guy like Uncle Chael, never lost, not even a round.. ♫
Thoughts on aspinall and Jones
Jones is about to retire after the miocic fight
Aspinall would wax him
Tito tapped
Hey it still gets a few likes. Keep it up.........

Man, I really hope that fight happens
Realistic and interesting match-up, thanks paul
Uncle Chael, you've taught us that stories sell fights, NO STORY HERE. thats one reason why fight nights suck, especially ones at the APEX
thank you for your honesty
Paul Craig is also a #9 light heavyweight
i hope Bo Nikal fights Paul Craig !! but it seems Bo Nikal is ONLY taking easy (not ranked) fights
He’s had 3 ufc fights!!! Lol
Spell his name right. Future champ. Cmon
Craig would take a limb from Bo
Bo vs Groundskeeper Willie, I like it.
Paul will tap Bo in first round
hahahahahahha, funniest thing I have heard in awhile.
He might unironically just beat him up on the feet for 15 minutes, which would be a sight for sure
Bo has better hands and speed than Paul. He will just knock him out
@@jamesnelson8469craig can hold his own against other mediocre strikers. He was lettin them kicks fly the other night
lookin' pretty tough Chael
Chael sitting like the gangster from west linn that he is in the beginning 🔥💯
Love watching Paul Craig. Just to correct you though Jamaal didn’t take him down. Paul pulled guard
I'll take either of the following, Nickal vs Aliskerov, or Nickal vs Craig. I'd also take MacKenzie Dern's badonkadonk in a grappling match.
The scottish is very smart bo is in trouble!!!
I really want to see Bo vs Paul
They've already done this. Gordon Ryan vs Bo Nickel.
That was Bo's first match too.
Paulo will beat Khamzat.
Pulling a Neil Magny. I like it. Guys that have nothing to lose and will take a fight with a hay baler you can't help but respect. He won't get that fight but if he did you bet he'd show.
That's why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique
Blk boys quit quick blk di@k lover
3:30, aha, Chael at his best.
It was great wasn’t it
I love the BearJew
Actually I think this fight should happen, I mean how many tomato cans are they gonna feed to Bo before he fights a ranked guy? Come on make this fight!
Smart of Paul to do it now while Bo is raw. Get him before his sub defense gets better. That said Bo probably wins.
Craig might be the chimaev and nickal killer.
@@jimsmith8359 he’s got game o the ground for sure
Man that's be a good one if it happens.
Well see there’s two moving parts to this story…
Bo said he wants 3 more fights, then a title shot. 🤔
Thats not smart according to Chael
If he doesn't fight ranked fighters that's not possible.
Paul is becoming comparable to Michael Johnson. He literally finished the former champ and arguably the best guy in the division. But then he’ll lose to someone WAY worse than the guys he’s finished. I really hope he puts it together at middleweight and goes on a run.
I would have called out bo nickel years ago if I knew uncle Chael would make a video about me!
So basically Bo Nickel isn’t going to have to fight any contenders JUST LIKE COLBY COVINGTON 🤣🤣😂😂 Chael is funny man
Aye, but Bo Nickle does not have the skills, yet, only two fights ago he was delivering uncontrollable nut shots. Give him some time...
Uncle chael got sun burning on his face
Bo vs Chim-Chim
This
I'd bet on Craig..
Paul Craig vs Sean Strickland.
He just submitted the guy who broke Jacare Souzas arm. I would love that. I think he submits Bo.
Bo hasn't been close to anybody like Paul Craig. I think Craig takes and makes it look easy.
Bo sleeps him on the feet
I like Bo's chances but it's an exciting matchup for sure
@@jamesnelson8469 Craig isn’t exactly a good stand up guy but neither is Bo, you can see the wind up a mile off with his chin in the air. Craig has the reach and size adv, theres a good chance Craig fires that front kick on Bo’s entry. Bo’s UFC debut (not the contenders) shows his BJJ is suspect on that choke, he got it eventually but didn’t do it efficiently or in the correct manner, I could def see him falling into a triangle…. If I’m not mistaken was what Gordon Ryan used on him, he might have transitioned to arm bar not seen that grappling match in ages
@@Ryan-ys2bq Plenty of Black belts prefer finishing the Arm triangle in Mount. Just look up Jordan Teaches Jiujitsu. He has a whole video devoted to the arm triangle, and specifically explains why he prefers finishing in mount. It takes more time, but enables you to maintain control over your opponent more effectively. If you have it positioned correctly, the opponent will tap or go out, it just takes more time for it to take effect. However, if you jump cross-body, you risk loss of control.
imo craig was the best grappler of the lhw division hands down ass up donimoes
As Bo''s striking improves, (which appears to be improving at high rate), if he thinks someone is dangerous on the ground, he will simply keep it standing. If you could be a "Level 10" at 2 of the arts...I'd say wrestling and striking would be the best combo.
I want to see Bo vs Dags and Russians
One year later Paul Craig got his wish.
What happen to Joe Pyfer?
Of course he meant it, wtf. That would be an amazing match up also
ill tell you what it is they are both newer names
Bo ain’t takin that fight lol
What the hell!?? 🤣🤣😂😂😂 CHAEL YOU SAID NOBODY CALLS HIM OUT…. NOW that Paul Craig did you don’t believe him 🤣🤣😂😂😂 STOP IT!!
Bo effs him up on the feet, badly. I think Craig submits him though! Though I could see Bo ground and pounding Craig into oblivion too.
They sure moved peiera up quick
Craig is listening to Chael: get the easiest fight for the most money
Bad match up for Bo he won’t take it
They won't risk the money 🐄 to lose against heavy opponent like Craig. Paul might be stiff as a board 🛹, but there is a chance he can submit the American.
Bo Nickal*
If Bo wants a title shot let him call for it 😂 gonna shove him in without him wanting it? And if he loses badly?
1:12 not factually true, just goes to show the ufc’s obvious biased matchmaking
Paul Craig has great chance to win against the future champs.
I like it
I want to see it now
It would be badass to see bo go straight to a title fight I agree. He claims he’s badass we’ll lets see! Go straight to the top! And honestly I think bo could beat Izzy lol 😂. But let’s be real, if Dana pulled a stunt like this, can u imagine how the rest of the ufc community would react? Everyone would be crying 😭 saying shit like DW privilege ect. People would be mad instead of excited and Bo would be hated
Scotland at every sport, bar curling, get beat by the 200th ranked team then go onto beat world champions. Its the Scottish way
This was an entirely new level-up on content about nothing. This hit Seinfeld limits. 😂
The entire video was the title. Result was it’s not gonna happen though. Neat. 😂
Bo Nickal 1st round ko/sub
They're definitely not giving Bo to Paul. He might lose. 🤪
Chael ♑
Bo Nickal has been submited in jiu jitsu competition, but by the GOAT Gordon Ryan. I think Paul Craig has a chance tbh.
Took him like 4 hours to sink an arm triangle in his debut...
That BJJ match was a joke
could that comma be a period ?
thats a bad matchup for Bo. too much too soon
Very interesting scrap
who uncle laev?
Paul Craig gonna find out 🤷♂️
You’re right. I like Paul but I don’t see him winning this
@@tonyg5132did you see him beating Ankalaev?
@@insertgenericusernamehere2402 Yes but Bo is not going to have problems with BJJ. High level wrestlers will usually beat high level BJJ fighters.
@@tonyg5132 Ankalaev is an incredible wrestler.... So.
@@insertgenericusernamehere2402 I hope you’re right then because I don’t really care for Bo and I’m a Paul fan
