You people have no idea how much I love that Chael runs with the Suga state athletic commission 😂

The champ said what we were all thinking

Sean said he looks for the easiest fight that will make him the most money. He's said it in interviews many times.

Sean's record before the Aljo fight was 15-2. When he beat Aljo his record went to 18-0.

" i would not do that I'd if kept the belt." 😂😂 Uncle Chael never lies

Sean is absolutely picking his easiest fight, which is exactly what Chael claims he should be doing. His willingness to take tough matchups in order to get the belt is different than his willingness to do so once he has the belt. Once champs have the belt they often want to fight less, take easier fights, coast a bit and hold the belt hostage.

He’s definitely not ducking fights when he’s calling out Chito. Chito may be the hardest guy to knock out in the division, how is Sean supposed to beat him without outlasting him over 5? That’s gonna be a crazy fight.

We're having that conversation because Sean said "when I become champion I'll look for the easiest guy I can face, because this is my business and I'm chasing that paper" he was the one to say it, and isn't afraid of saying that. In which I agree

Hill is underrated weird as it sounds

“Chito beat the world champ according to some athletic commissions” I love that!! Not to the suga commission. It’s the only one to dispute that loss and non-sanctioned but hell it matters!!! Well said bad guy!!

Damn I’ve been saying this all along. Casuals like to sleep on chito. It’s disrespectful to just act like he’s the easy fight. Thank you for saying this!

I thought Yan beat O'Malley which was the only reason he got the title fight. Meanwhile Merab stomped Yan and Sandhagen shutout Chito. So I don't think it's unreasonable to say Merab and Sandhagen deserve title shots ahead of Chito.

Nice of chael to shout out the champ ❤

Nobody questioned it when Frankie Edgar chose to defend his new title by fighting Gray Maynard. Nor should they have. Frankie Edgar had a loss to address. He addressed it. That's how this works.

I totally understand why O'malley is doing the Chito fight. Everyone else is healing from a injury or surgery.. He wants to stay active. He will face the rest. It will be exciting to see O'malley vs Cory/Henry/Merab/Rob Font/Petr Yan 2/Aljo 2 etc. All of these will be entertaining match ups

The champ didn't give up the belt due to being hurt. His shoulder was fine. He's serving a USADA suspension. USADA doesn't disclose it anymore. He was tested like 37 times in 40 days. Which means by now he should have been honored for 50 clean tests... which he hadnt.

Chael saved this fight. Good company man. Thanks for the context Chael because I was not excited for this fight but now I see it.

How far does that go though? Does that mean if Paul Craig got that opportunity and beat Jamahal, then does that last person that beat Paul Craig then get the next title shot?

Great piece 👏

I would love a mini series where Chael discusses his GOAT for each division.

No one can believe that Chito is an easy fight for Sean..... Obviously because Chito beat him but he's also a bad matchup for him. His leg kicks are better than Seans, He's an elite striker who hits harder and has never been stopped. It reminds me of Izzy vs Alex P. I think Chito stops Sean again.

WHAT BRAND ARE CHAELS SHOES? I can’t find them anywhere

Chito deserves the shot. He's done a lot of heavy lifting to earn his spot. That fight is always going to linger as a criticism on Sean's record so he's compelled to get it back to silence the doubters. Had Chito lost to Pedro, it would've been weird for Sean to call him out as the next contender, but you can't say he's an easier matchup, that's wildly disrespectful to what he's accomplished.

I want the Sean o malley basketball celebration in every fight. Looked so cool

Sean O admitted that he ducked Algo originally. He said Henry was a easier fight. Sean always talks about he turns down fights because of money. I’m glad Jamal responded to this BS.

Undefeated on the mic even to this day, that's a great perspective in regards to chito

I like how you threw 91 days in there as on off handed comment and that magically lines up with the December card, that was perfect!

I like how Chael buys in to other fighters' schticks, a true master of kayfabe

Jamal is 100% correct , hes looking for easy fights

Bisping got nothing for it bc Silva was on the downhill & Bisping was also KOed at the buzzer. SOM is getting the rep bc of how Aljo won to begin with, plus he got TJ, who was past his prime and out for two years, and CCC who was past his prime and retired for three years.

Sean and Chito are friends. I don’t know if anybody remembers but before Sean‘s second to last fight when he realized that Chito was on the card in the middle of the press conference he got all excited and said hey what’s up Chito.💪

Chael Sonnen is the most consistent person on KZfaq at posting videos

I want that Chito fight to happen. I have ever since he mentioned it before the fight. It'll be good to see him get that one back.

I do want to see O'Malley vs Chito 2 the most. However when Sean was building it up before fighting Aljo, I did think about what you said about wanting the easiest guy for the most money and how MMA doesn't have competitive architecture. I don't mean to insult Chito, Bantamweight is just stacked imo. Also I want to see more Merab after that clinic he put on against Yan.

Just looked into chito's ufc sheet... Did you know the guy was never stopped (at least in his ufc career). His losses all came from decisions, which implies full 3 or 5 round fight against what the judges thought was a better opponent. Yet those better opponents never got to him. Him being a pretty solid fighter, I wonder if he would be able to withstand and/or evade O'Malley's striking, for a whole 5 round fight. I believe this is where he would manage to shine, through continuous technical domination and a good defense. Chito doesn't need to take all the way down O'Malley, he needs to make him miss, play positions for the middle and on the cage, as a way to show a better control of the fight. We saw yan go through Sean with a busted open eyebrow and still hitting takedowns and counters at the end of round 3. Malon went for 4 or 5 rounds in three of his last fights, O'Malley never did... He does deserve a title shot, he is the hardest oponent for o'malley and no I don't think we should have taken out merab as fast from the title fight discussion, sean isn't izzy

No matter who Sean picks, it will be the wrong decision and he will be judged for it. This is the problem with the current era of MMA where champions get to pick their next opponent. Especially when it's a new champion who hasnt even defended yet. You'll get the fight you want, but tons of fans wont respect you for it and rightfully so. It's made the sport worse. You find a fighter you like, you support them, buy a t shirt and a ppv when they fight, see them go on a good streak and get excited to see them in there with a champion. Then the champion doesnt wanna fight them for reason XYZ. It's a dumb system.

I like that fight and Sean wants it. He calls the shots he wants to avenge that one before he moves on. Chito is a typical dark horse. Reminds me of Charles Oliveria. Has some losses sure but all of his wins are stoppages. That kind of guy is interesting and scary. He's one of those guys you really believe doesn't give a damn.

Ty Chael for always keeping it a buck 🙌🏾👏🏾

I love how Chael always acknowledges the suga state athletic commission

Sean's not ducking fights. We only got a glimpse of his take down defense (which was amazing) and we saw little to none of his wrestling against Aljo. People judge his wrestling way too hard off the Yan fight. They didn't plan for the wrestling... Tim and Sean are way smarter than people think though so any of those guys they go up against that they know are gonna wrestle they are gonna be well prepared for. I think its gonna be the Suga era for a while unless he does the boxing thing or someone like Chito gets lucky again.

That's why Suga is running from Henry, he don't want a hard fight

Bisping Silva should be every Brits favourite fight of all time . Taking that beating without a mouth piece and coming back to barely scrape a decision was so badass by Mike

Well said Uncle C

4:28 “NARRICTIVE”??? 😂😂😂 Chael never fails to pronounce words in the funniest ways possible

Are you going live tonight, Uncle Chael? Who is on the post show tonight?

Chael is the lead train on the track to defending the UFC super star and keep them protected from controversy.

That reminds me of Rich Franklin who said the same thing. He said he couldn't play basketball but I can fight.

Chael always says what we are all thinking

Jamahal Hill responded to you in his page Chael

Suga literally said on a podcast he's fighting Chito because he's the easiest fight for him

Chael "im just sharing with you" Sonnen

Hill better be resting and recovering. We need that dude back asap.

The only real issue with making a case for Chito is that he recently loss to someone else who is fighting for the #1 contender spot. Other than that there’s no reason no to make O’Malley vs Vera 2. It’s a fun fight with a good backstory. Plus the UFC knows that Merab and Umar are looming so they need to milk Sean while he’s a cash cow.

Cant fault guy for wanting to get payback on a guy who beat him

Many also shit on Bisping's first title defense was against #13 185lb ranked fighter Dan Henderson who was 2-3 in his previous 5 before the title fight. I feel the champ should get to pick any ranked fighter in their division for their first defense

I subscribe to way of thinking! I also felt lost he lost Yan and that Aljo and Merab are getting screwed over! If this goes ahead

He’s got a fucking point!

Suga state athletic commission is CRAZYYYYYYY 😂

Sean didn't show courage by taking on Yan. Yan displayed major courage by giving Sean a shot. Now Sean fighting chito next is bold. He loses that fight and you can flush his legacy. Back of the line.. if I'm chito I tell everyone that story is over and I won't fight him a 3rd time

Nah chael. People actually wanna see Corey but we know he's on the shelf right now. They also wanna see merab, Yan, aljo cejudo and then maybe chito. You don't have the pulse on this. Chito is number 6. He hasn't beaten anyone in the top 5 and Sean hasn't fought the majority of the top 5. But sure. We should be worried about disrespect to chito even though you know #6 doesn't get that shot ever in any division unless the top 5 can't do it. That's not the case here. Bad optics.

its funny because the same people that defends that "chito won, he destroyed omaller, absolute deserving win" are the same that says suga running from hard fights... i mean, hes picking the only dude who "won" against a champion hater have no brain

The only person who matters if Chael the Chinese supplement taking Sonnen words.word

You have to be a fool if you don’t realize Sean is running from the tough fights and trying to prolong his reign for as long as possible. He said he would fight Chito whose like the 15th ranked and said he was going to fight Gervonta Davis after. You guys claimed Aljo took his time with the belt but seems to me like Sean’s the one whose playing games.

How about when Jim Miller submitted Do Bronx

Chael I love you, but this was a pretty bad representation of Jamahal’s opinion. He didn’t say Sean was picking the easy fights as a matter of fact, that was the point merab was making. Hill actually sided with O’Malley by saying hey, the only loss on my record is Paul Craig I would want to get that back too

“The most dangerous occupation” is the one where no one ever dies doing it?

Jamahal Hill is correct about Ariel "the nose" Helwani

To me Chito is a must fight because of their history. If he avenges that then he can move on to all the contenders. Mind you he's already beat a few of them.

Matchup wise Aljo was, ON PAPER, Sugas hardest fight. That should be more then enough to give Sean his props imo. He beat a goat in the second rd, may it be an early stoppage or not, he won 🤷🏽‍♂️. He’s a money grab so he can pick who he wants, people think to deep into this lol

You pronounced "self-proclaimed greatest combat sports athlete of all time"

My Order of who Sean should fight next: Aljamain Sterling Marlon Vera Petr Yan Henry Cejudo Merab Dvalishvili Cory Sandhagen Dominick Cruz

I'm glad Chael isn't acknowledging the annoying tank Davis call out

When he was in front of Merab, he said to Merab's face that him or Aljo deserved it.

I really hope Chito gets this fight he deserves it he's worked so hard

Merab is the guy 💯

I think he should fight Merab.

I want to watch chito vs O’Malley 2.

Whoever you have Sean facing next it’s CLEAR that sandhagen after surgery is next up no debate at all

We all know that Sean didn’t beat Peter. Even Sean knows that. It doesn’t matter who he fights next Merab, Chito or Henry. All three of them smoke him. Not to mention Sandhagen or the rematch against Peter. He loses them all.

Chael litterally saying it how it is

Anderson hadn’t won a fight in 4 years when Bisping beat him. What do you mean Bisping wasn’t supposed to beat him? The Silva reign was long over you say the weirdest things.

Sean vs chito story line will sell more then either aljo or merab

Sean vs chito is the biggest fight for him in division right now. All the sudden the business aspect is lost upon you? But it works when other guys get shots based off hype rather than who is best.

jamal got mentioned 2 times the first minute...

Imagine if Merab and Sandhagen just fought for it… same card as Sean Chito then demand same quick turn around. It’s not wild if men would actually just fight

Suga State Athletic Commission 😂😂.

Chael do you read these comments when you're bored?

Knocking out dom Cruz is insane.

Chito and the word polite don’t belong in the same sentence lol

I don’t think he’s avoiding merab or Corey, with their logic he should beat chito easily. No matter really cares to see Merab in a title fight I say let him fight Cory for the next shot, and aljo can fight umar. Aljo did this to himself by saying win or loose he’ll move up

If the UFC isn't WWE, like Dana says the guy with the longest win streak in the division gets the fight. Shouldn't be about the "story".

I think fair enough immediate rematch the first time with Alex but he can't keep getting an immediate rematch

It's official....The Suga State Athletic Commision is real Uncle Chael has formally recognized the authority of the SSAC

What did you think about Werdum and JDS (Cigano) last night Chael

Sean defends twice then umar takes the belt

Yeah, Jamahal is correct ✅

He's getting Mighty Mouse outta Retirement, just a Conspiracy Theory lol

It’s the WWE now

Precedent was set with Liddell vs Horn.

I'm not trying to take anything away from Jamal, but he didn't really have a choice but to honourably give up the belt considering how he talked about Jiri doing it before him and how honourable and respectful that action was. I respect them both but Jiri did set the precedent.
