41 year old wrestler? Jake Paul wants to box him.
Jake Paul sending him the contract right now 😂
That got me 😂😂
Peak
Jake doesn't want anyone on juice
Jake Paul ducked Yoel Romero.
Even if Uncle Chael was paid to lose he would still win.
Chael would’ve took the money. And made it his own without even competing.
Uncle C got paid to lose, won, and did so good at it - his bettors said ‘thank you’
Never lost a round
He was paid to lose and he won and the person who paid him won
H.
I don't know anything about Milan Lopez but I do know about Mijain Lopez 🤔💬
😂😂😂 Gotta love Chael for these names.
Stop correcting people when your user name is misspell too
@@heretolearn5084 Damn... You are bad at getting jokes
@@user-mx1np3nf3s you corrected Sonnen so who's the joke now
Lopez vs Karelin, both in their prime, would have been an incredible match!
Most people don't know him for the same reason most don't know the great Teddy Riner, who's rin in Judo has been every bit as dominant - Greco and Judo just aren't popular in the US. Riner was France's Olympic torch bearer and is worth $250mil from mainly endorsements in France, and unless you play Judo here in the states or follow all combat sports, you have no clue who he is. I was in Paris last summer and saw two billboards with him on it, and I guarantee Lopez has the same treatment in Cuba.
I guarantee you everyone in Cuba knows who he is, and many more people in nations where Greco is popular.
French here and yes Riner is a national hero.
@NuageRouge123 I'm a tall and heavy Judoka as well (198cm and 125kg), been competing for 6 years, and he is a hero of mine. Wish Judo was more popular here in the US, would have started it much sooner in life I think instead of at 22.
He isn't worth 250mil. He has maybe 1 million including his house they set up for him. It's the same b.s. lie that mayweather was said to have then everyone found out he didn't have jack
When i was 11 taking shito Ru Karate in 80s.. the schools master died he was 10th degree. And lived in Japan and was Japanese. Our man instructor was Demetri and met the master in Japan during leave in the Korean war. And the master and him became friends and in 70s that's how Demetri got the school. Well when the master died his oldest son from Japan come to America with a group he was a 7th degree. And wanted to pay his respect to Demetri in person. For his dad's friendship and Demetri looked over the schools they planted in the midwest. Cincinnati area. The son brought a judo master. A old man like 50. Lol I was 11. Lol that Judo man beat every blackbelt in our school with ease.. he threw them all to ground. As a kid I remember the power of the sound of the blavkbelts hitting the mats. After that night I started looking for a judo school. There was only 1 within 30 miles and it was a Korean guy. And he didn't take students until 16 years old. So I quit Karate that month knowing it wasn't going to help me fight when needed. And it was not fun doing kotas all class. So I joined the wrestling team in middle school like 6 months later.. if all that didn't happen I would of wasted years in Karate class. Doing katas.. now in Cincinnati area you can learn anything I here.
Judo is a joke and eveyone understood it clearly at this olympics, a wrestler could easily take down Riner by grabbing his legs.
I Googled most dominant athlete and wrestler to ever do it and Chael P Sonnen keeps popping up
Bing says the same thing
Yahoo also confirms it's the American Gangster Cheal P Sonnen
Damn straight he does
If you google his name the pages are endless of his victories going back centuries. He is the man the myth and the legend
Those are sponsored ads!!
Chael you did not mention to win this gold he faced the #2 heavyweight from Cuba who defected to Chile because he was always shut out of the Olympics. Glad they both got medals, it really sounds like a great movie script.
Wow! Why was he shut out?
Kinda reminds me of this one fight in particular a rather memorable one where this guy was fighting a Legend in Anderson Silva and was beating him from one side of the octagon to the other for 4 WHOLE rounds but somehow in the final round "gets" caught in a triangle choke and loses.
This. I remember it clearly, didn't know who Chael was until that fight.
Chael mauled him.
*Chael trying to give us truth*
Us: “I can’t let you get close.”
Wrestling is no doubt the hardest Olympic sport.
NON NEGOTIABLE
Yeah and Kurt Angle won a gold medal with a broken frikkin neck!!
@apocalypsenow1871 so automatically disqualified from talks of hardest sport if a guy with a broken neck won lmao....
Hardest in what way?
Chael I’m a gullible guy and you sounded sincere, haha that’s plenty to convince me
I know Lopez and that he's Cuban. And I believe that he won fairly his olympic medals.
Lopez won the final in Paris against Yasmani Acosta, who is born in Cuba and competed for Cuba. He then moved to Chili and started competing for them.
Chael the only guy making these claims 😆
Chael is talking about the 2011 world championships that were held in Turkey. Lopez was facing a Turkish wrestler and it was pretty clear he wasnt trying. There is video of the match on UA-cam and at one point someone is talking to the guy recording and says hes been bought hes taking a dive.
Chael is just another pathological liar and bs artist with platform and a gullible fanbase 😂
he and karelin... greco has some monster athletes
no
@@Loquacious_Jackson mb bro 😅
20 years of Olympic Greco Roman Wrestling this man dominated, freaking AMAZING. Yet alone to not have any matches since 2021, WTF that's insane. Honestly, I heard his name before but knew nothing about him. Only heard how there is a Cuban that can wrestle, that's it. Granit I'm not the biggest wrestling fanatic BUT I follow the sport. Craziness, absolutely craziness. Lastly, you are absolutely correct in regard to a communist country telling him he must lose. Plus, I dont' blame him AT ALL for taking the money, we don't know this mans business or situation.
Another aspect is his family likely would have been in danger had he not complied. It's not apples to apples comparison to someone doing it in the west.
Karam Gaber from Egypt was also paid to lose regularly as nobody could even touch him, but Egypt couldn't pay him....
Why couldn’t they pay him?
@@paleo704 Russian Mobsters pay more to influence betting odds than post-colonial banana republics can afford for their athletes
I’m Cuban and yes this man is a beast
I used to be annoyed by Chael. But it's pretty awesome how he gives light to people we've never heard of. Not many do that nowadays. It's always social media hype jobs. Respect Big Chael. 👊🏾
Why hasn't this guy been on every Wheaties box since 1968?!
I love the story about how they only went to one locker room. I must have heard it 20+ times in different videos by now. Best story ever, undefeated.
Mijain Lopez. Just a little correction 🙌🏽
When I heard Chael asking who threw a match I immediately assumed he meant Gane🤣. And when I watched Mijaín López wining his fifth straight Olympic gold and making history by becoming the first and only athlete to ever do it in the same individual event I Immediately knew Chael was gonna do a piece about it. But that Chael was gonna make an allegation about Lopez being paid to lose? Didn't see that one coming!😲
For the ppl saying that Karelin is better just look at our countries history and is impressive that an athlete like this has come out of a country with so little resources like us
Yeah, we all know Chael was paid to lose against Jon Jones... yet still won
He was paid to get tapped after 24mins against silva
So no evidence was offered for the claim.
He wouldn’t get us to watch a 10minute yap video if he would proof his claims in the beginning of the video
@@manuhatmacros3924 at least prove it at the end. He’s arguing that a Cuban wrestler doesn’t have a sponsorship deal because he was paid to lose, something for which there is no evidence or even an allegation of beyond his own. Does Chael think a Cuban wrestler is going to find himself on a Wheaties box? Why does everything have to be nonsense?
This is a case of “trust me bro”
Chael is really Dracula. His victories can be tracked back centuries. World changing battles were single handedly wind by chael p. This man is not really a man but a god. He just wears a flesh suit to not instantly burn you to death by looking in his direction. This glorious being can be traced back through history changing and molding the new world to his own model. Chael p IS the man the myth and the legend.
Not to mention his way with the girls. Wow and only one broke his heart 1000 years ago when he was 14
Whats the source? I didnt find any proof anywhere of him getting bribed
Glad you fixed up the “G” on the bad guy sign. Finally the right size after all these years
Chael, do you think Lopez is better than Alexander Karelin?
Of course!..
The NFL refs have ear pieces. And we know they stage games!
No
@@slymcfly123 throw in “stop, and go away”, and you’ve covered everything a woman’s ever said to you.
I wouldn’t say stage games but they certainly have the tools to control it to keep it close. Holding calls are the worst penalties and the most used to kill drives. I mean, 10 yards!!! Come on! 5 yards should be good enough.
British rower Sir Steven Redgrave, 5 gold rings between 1984 - 2000.
As a wrestler, I have never found Greco Roman that interesting. Freestyle yes. Let it go, the guy probably needed the cash. Boxing matches are fixed all the time.
Greco technique is subtle, harder to observe and understand
Don't let em get close !
In financial need, "The World's most Dominant Wrestler" may accept payment to lose. However, "The World's Most Dominant Wrestler" does not need to give payment to win.
Ref/umpire earpieces also in football (soccer), rugby, tennis, cricket - so only also all the most popular sports in the world...but we still love you Uncle Chael :)
Unc, can we talk about Teddy Riner from France winning the Judo Olympics. Also touch on his match against South Korea.
Isabell Werth won gold medals in 7 different olympics (in equestrian).
Still impressive though.
Dude's no Karelin, uncle chael
This is faaacking crazy, just insane, but this still happens even to this day
You for bringing to light different topics from all these different sports else seems to cover
One of the best videos you've ever made. Passion, perspective, sympathy. Incredible.
Tito tapped!
To be fair, he is effectively one weight class above other heavyweights. Big dude!
Didn’t know this about him and I follow wrestling even closer than I do MMA.
The funny thing is the oldest medalist at Paris 2024 was 51 (Turkey, sharp shooting ), and the oldest athlete was 65 (Spain, equestrian).
Chael does bring up a valid point though. Especially, when you realize the guy Lopez beat to win his 5th gold medal was from Cuba until a few years ago. They literally trained together for almost a decade.
Here a hot take I think nghano lost too aj by ko as a fix ! He got told to fall for a bag . It looked fake asf
Reminder: Chael is undefeated, undisputed and never lost a round. 99% of the state of Oregon voted for him.
Uncle Chael admitting he threw the Silva fight, further proving he is undefeated.
Well no don't they use earpieces in the NFL... Oh wait that was just the patriots.
If chael says his name is Milan, then his name is Milan
You a real one this episode uncle chael
Would have loved to see what he could do if he had dedicated himself to MMA.
Dude doesn't even wrestle qualifiers or worlds, just shows up random draw and wins gold.
so he's rested up
Thank you for the video Uncle Chael
Thanks you chael , saying always the highest true
Chael p is the only man chuck Norris bows too unbeaten, undefeated,never lost a round uncle Chael p Sonnen
I would be really shocked if a usa wrestler threw a match. But in cuba idk. Even wrestlers have to eat.
Taurasi won 6 consecutive gold medals in basketball
Just wiki the fight or look at snopes, they fact checked the match. It says "chael said it"
I enjoy listening to Chael way too much.
Chael. Really appreciate you bringing SHINE to wrestling and the Olympics !!! These guys deserve this.
5X Gold medal winner !!! Insane
Your knowledge and explanations to real OG’s appreciate.
Where are the details of the payoff. All I hear is accusations Chael. You told us the who and the what. Where is the how and why? I don't hear that from you?
He's lying. He got destroyed by some guy from Hungary a few years ago. A guy who was originally in a lower weight class, but also dominated that class for gold a few years prior.
Mijan going out as a legend kiralin went out to Rulon the biggest loser
Really think about that beast of a man Alexander Kiralin lost to someone who later in life went on the biggest loser
@@gabemufukkah96 yet still accomplished more than you ever will. Only scumbags dump on people about their weakest moments. Rulin is an Olympic gold medalist and youth mentor, you’re a nobody who thinks it’s cool to run you’re mouth behind a keyboard…great way to spend your life…take care though
Yeah, he "lost" in old age at the end of his career on a strange technicality that literally everyone in wrestling thought was illegal and never should have been allowed and was only put in a few weeks before the olympics and then immediately taken out. Even including Rulon Gardner who was two times the size of old man karelin(at this time) and a highly accomplished wrestler in his own right was taught how to manipulate this new rule put in for him by dan gable himself. Of course Rulon admitted this years later. Of course this new rule which made zero sense that they never ever used before was immediately removed.
Chael was such a great fighter, that he was paid to lose and accidentally won due to the sheer power he has in his hands.
So gracious of unc to retire and let some youngsters win medals
I’m Cuban I know Mijain since the beginning of his career and the only thing I keep thinking is how big and glorious he could become here in the States and how many many millions he could have made but he chose to adore and give props to that horrible communism regime.
in boxing they always said never tell the winner there was a fix, and thats double if he's getting groomed for a title fight.
Crazy stuff, Chael. Mijain is absolutely increbile
I know a match where someone got payed to get outwrestled
You couldn’t pay me enough to lose an Olympic gold medal.
$4,000,000 untaxed in $20 bills to take a dive.
you really saying no?
Id do it for about 250k
He lives in cuba. I understand why he would take they bribe
I'd do it for a million and put it in a savings. Live off the monthly 5% interest. 50k a month for life... absolutely. French dionysius made the Olympics a gay joke 😂
You could pay me
I'm pretty sure Cyril Gane was just there to let the UFC hand the HW belt to Jon Jones. He did not even put out the effort to spar and did not even suffer any discomfort. It was a very necessary thing to get that belt on Jon Jones so he could help the UFC create a big "Deontay Wylder sized money fight" that Jones and Dana were seeking. Once he had the belt, Jones kept finding Ngannou outside the ring and challenging him to come back and fight for it. That would have required Ngannou to resign with the UFC. When Ngannou made it clear that his interest was in a larger share of the fights vs a larger fight, the UFC was stuck with a shitty HW champion that had no business being there. The pay set-up is to be the champ and defend the belt for the really big money. The only way they could do that with Jon Jones being the 2st LGBQT fighter at HW and a good name that would not just stomp Jones's ass in the 1st round was to match him up against a good name that was in the retirement age. Cyril's fight against Ngannou proves he could last more than 2 minutes, before tapping to a polite presence.
Karelin vs Lopez?
Chael should do a video on that subject.
karelin. he actually threw the big guys like crazy, while lopez wins most matches by push out points
Karelin literally destroyed huge guys and roll threw them up in the air, it's insane
@@dogdobbernew generation will almost always win
@bznshee Almost yeah. Jon Jones beat newer generations in light heavyweight. Djokovic newer generations in tennis. López is 1-1 against Ahokas, a guy Karelin dominated. So it's not clear cut.
5 gold rings
4 calling birds
3 French he.....
😂 good one 😂
Only way to top it would be if there was someone who would win a gold medal in Freestyle, Greco and Judo. Absolutely impossible but would love to see it 😂😂
Steve Redgrave won 5 gold medals in 5 consecutive Olympics, 3 commonwealth golds, 9 world championship golds. He is the most successful male rower in Olympic history, and the only man to have won gold medals at five Olympic Games in an endurance sport.
Michael Phelps ….
That's not a real sport 😂
Literally no one cares. There are levels to sports and how much competition you have and the competition on that fake sport is much less
@michaelbuettner1487 swimming has way too many events (its all swimming), Bolt is the greatest Olympian by far running > swimming. They are saying consecutive golds and different Olympics too...if you're the best swimmer and swimming has 35 events (it does) you will won more golds...not rocket science
@@mac4730 And backstroke is?
The guy was supposed to do it for his late father. Father seen him take three gold medal and just died not to long ago
Boxing is definitely recognized as the most difficult Olympic sport
My friend soccer refs where headphones .... his name is mijain lopez
Chael it’s heavyweight.
Also, Oscar Swahn was the oldest to win gold…Chael, a true politician, spits lies and not bat an eye. But I got mad respect for it
I just knew about him now !!, you are right.👍
i feel like there should not be multiple swimming technique based events at the Olympics, just whatever the fastest way whatever it may be. should they add the backwards 100m sprint or the skipping 100m? would be better then the walking 😅
Tito still gets his suits at closed down funeral parlors.
Chael P comin with the hot take
It was always fixed... Look at boxing in history
Thats 1 of the reasons I cant take this game fully serious as long as its done by compenies who own the sport & the fighters themselves.
There is no incentive for the company itself, to keep it straight 100% if you can make more money with some fixing.
Diana tarasi won 6 straight gold in women's Bball... first time chael has ever been wrong...
dinosaur taurasi won gold this year at 42 in womens basketball, it was her 6th gold medal at the olympics
What is this Guy Saying?? If he is talking about MIJAIN (Not Milan)LÔPEZ, then give more proof. Which matches he lost? Which competitions? Was it behind close doors??Yes, he is possibly the Greatest olympian of all time and he has won 5 consecutive gold medals. He is arguably the biggest Cuban athlete of all time. I think the reason that he is not that known is because he stuck to his principles of remaining in Greco-Roman wrestling and did not defect or compete in other pay day circus fights. As I requested, can you give solid evidence??
you’re right i don’t fault him for throwing a match
Alex Pereira was paid to lose against Izzy, he was trying to let us know when he talked back to the guy who beated him in Kickboxing
Ofourse we do believe it, it also happend with Judo Boxing, the cuban baseball team..etc. They are so poor that 25K is too much, they will lose for less that that
Mijain is the Goat
Chael are you sure, his record is total 33 gold medals and 4 silver medals???
Lopez in Wrestling and riner in Judo goat of each Sport
I'm a big fan of Chimaev so I want to see him fight more, and of course, win the title, but he has some issues which are worrying and I don't know if he would be a good champion.
Whittaker, Dricus and Strickland are all boring to watch for me. I don't have a preference from the three of them who is the champion, I probably wont watch their fights.
Adesanya is interesting to watch, I'll watch his fights whether he is the champion or not, and I like that he used to fight regularly.
What fights were fixed?
The ref has an earpiece because he has a camera maybe ? I’m sure they were fixed but I don’t think the ref having a earpiece is part of it
I knew who he was and all his accolades onky because by chance I caught his winning match where he won his last gold medal a few days ago
Wrestling is probably the easiest sport to fight a fight
