    I hope ESPN actually starts to go hard at covering the UFC on it's shows, they say there's no stars or stories but there's tons of stories and if you cover them that's a way for them to become stars and gain more popularity.

      They can’t until they get some guys that know the sport. I think that’s what they are attempting with Chael, Ariel, Dc.. etc... they tried with Steven A Smith and it was a huge flop lol

    • @Kodie128
      @Kodie128 3 роки тому

      JBOM9000 DC&Helwani going to ESPN2 should have a big impact on that if they get good viewership showing ESPN that MMA has a large audience. And there’s a lot of insightful and well spoken guys to choose from that they could add for shows or podcasts like Kenny Florian, Cruz, Dan Hardy, etc. But then again they probably don’t want to go full steam if they don’t know that it’d be successful.

      Drew R boi. Skip bayless on football said tebow was the best quarterback in the league. He said kobe wasnt a draw to fans. He said lebron was bad. And when talking about nate vs conor said that nate outweighed conor by "im guessing 40 pounds" and said he beat him with "sumo style" wrestling. But dans the worst right? Stop being so dramatic nancy.

      @kalinbalcomb 6 років тому +8

      first time he popped an independent neutral arbitrator said that their findings didn’t show intentional steroid use, just reckless use of over the counter pills that could’ve been tainted. The UFC’s top drug guy Jeff Novitzky said this second time also points to unintentional use, and not a significant amount of whatever it was. But it’s for sure a boneheaded move and a shame to see his prime years fizzling away like this. Hope he comes back and only

    UFC problem is that their big name stars are all part time. Either by choice or suspension. Conor and Nate Diaz both by choice. Jon Jones constant trouble. Lesnar - steroids and by choice to wrestle. PPV will take hits til the big name stars are actually fighting. The biggest draws in the sport all have hardly fought in that last couple years

    I just recently started watching past UFC fights and real enjoy Chael Sonnen. Plus, like him I cannot stand Tito Ortiz, and that is only for one reason. I believe whole theatrical play of digging a grave and dragging his opponent into it is so very disrespectful, which is why Randy Couture spanking Tito was so funny.

  • @IvanMozgovyy1990
    @IvanMozgovyy1990 6 років тому

    "My last 11 fights were against world champions. I won 8 of those." I don't know when this was filmed, but Chael is 6-5 in his last 11 fights as of June 16, 2018. And of all those opponents, only Silva and Jones were reigning champs at the time (the rest were former champions from other organizations). Self-promoting (trash talking) is ruining MMA as a legitimate sport. This attracts wrong kind of attention and wrong kind of fans (the ones that should be watching fake 'wrestling'). Fighters should be training and fighting, while the UFC (the fuckin* promotion, BTW) should be promoting the fights. It's not fair when one fighter gets title shots and more money just because he has a big mouth and no shame, while his opponent was either raised better than that or simply doesn't speak English (like Silva or Aldo). Fuck you, Chael! You have helped turn this sport into a WWE circus.

    His fighting career? It was a joke. He lost to every good fighter and never backed up his trash talk once. Loser. And sadly he's the "high-budget" version of Colby Covington if you can believe that. Wrestlers have not fared particularly well and only two hold belts in all the UFC's weight divisions-and both of those are "*" interim belts...
