This actually says a lot about Chael, he doesn’t come from some poverty stricken country, didn’t have a violent rough upbringing, wasn’t some super athlete that was groomed for greatness and he definitely could have chosen a much more comfortable career then cage fighting. Guy is just naturally a fearless individual who loves to fight.

Dang I bet he has some really bad PTSD from that Gum rapper thing... I had a similar situation when I was about 8. When these real gangsters came to my house. Tried to get my mom to go to the house to rap her.and she had me go to get my father's gun Next thing I knew I had a whole car full of cholo's at gunpoint and my brother called the cops on me just as, he did 3 other times in our lives. For similar situations even 2 times when I saved this life with a pistol.. I'm not saying i'm a better m m a fighter than chel... But his gangster story failed to impress me at all.. I just hope he was joking.

I know how he feels…. Lot of people don’t understand the stress and pressure of living in a 10,000 sq ft home in West Linn Oregon, how’d you like having to use the rest room in an emergency and you have to quickly decide do you run up a flight of stairs to locate one of 3 restrooms or run down a 100’ hallway only to be confronted with having to choose between a full bath or half bath with only a Bidet! This is just one example But believe me there are many more. Often times many children raised in these environments are literally forced to eat home delivery meals 4-5 times a week.

Chael didn't even go into full detail about the hardships a person faces when living iWest Linn Oregon or "The WLO" as the natives call it. Even the environment itself is a major challenge. The weather is almost unbearable. It can reach lows as cold as 37F in the winter and highs as hot as 83F in the summer. Even today the average household income is only $159,721 Chael is truly an inspiration to have made it out of there and to have gone undefeated in his MMA career.

For a man to go from having to wash his own dishes and put his own laundry in the hamper...to being an undisputed multi division champion. Theres no excuses for any of us. He came from the gutter and became a gangster. The strength to relive that childhood to tell us his story is just (holding back tears) so inspirational
