Heart breaking indeed. To understand better Cheal's emotional state: he promised his father before he passed away that he would win a title in an MMA promotion. He attempted it in the UFC and in WEC without having success, and unfortunately his unsuccessful last attempt was in Belator 222. You can imagine the heavy emotion that he is going through thinking of his father and the promise he made to him... Cheal, there's nothing to be ashamed or unhappy with your MMA career, I'm sure your father would be very proud of you and for the fact that you always put everything on the line and did you very best (there's really nothing more one can expect from another). Chin up (especially now that you are not competing anymore ;)) and be proud of yourself! 💪

Chael promised his father he would be a champion. He fought like a champion and for all intents and purposes was and is a champion, regardless of a belt or not.

Carlos Flores not really Cruz is amazing by far the best at reading a fight as it’s happening. Also amazing at talking to his opponents pre an post fight same as chael.. but I’ve never heard him really talk about the behind the scenes politics of the fight business which chael excels at. Possibly cause he doesn’t put the effort into thinking about that stuff. It’s close but I’d give it to chael
