His talent to overcomplicate simplest things is remarkable.

Yes, I am a model Chael!!

Gaethje was known to be the hardest puncher in the division. Oliveira ate his punches clean, got right back up and continued pressuring forward. Gaethje was known to have a good chin. Oliveira took him down clean. It wasn't just one lucky punch either, it was a constant barrage of all kinds of strikes and grapples from Oliveira which landed. When Gaethje went down, it genuinely looked like Oliveira could do absolutely anything to him and just settled for a RNC. There wasn't even a contest on the ground. That is what everyone saw and that's why Gaethje is not in the conversation at all. Maybe he should be, but after those 4 minutes, no one is convinced or cares about that conversation. This is like saying that Chandler and Ferguson should have a rematch because that was a lucky kick, and quite honestly that's far more convincing than saying that Oliveira and Gaethje should happen again. Remember Oliveira's track record before this as well. Poirier was dominated. Chandler was knocked down almost in the same way as Gaethje, something which Gaethje himself couldn't do against Chandler. Nobody is making the mistake of doubting Oliveira after this, and the only fighting style which hasn't been tested against him in recent times is that of Islam Makhachaev.

Khabib already had a plan with his late father. Go out there make it 30-0 and get out. But when his father died, I don’t know how serious his conversation with his mother when she ask Khabib to stop fighting and he promise it will be the last. His father’s plan was also to make Islam Makhachev a champion right after Khabib retired. Instead of fulfilling his 30-0 for himself, he took the role of his father for the next generation

Lets be real it is the fight to make

In that same interview, Charles said he wanted to fight between November or December, specifically in Brazil. So he still intends to fight in 2022

Charles Oliveira fought 3 muderers in less than a year, dispatching them all. They don't look so menacing right now because they were soundly beaten, but before the fights, they were all "uncrowned champions". Charles Oliveira got screwed over in that scale thing, is well know now, specially because the UFC who is used to throw guys under the bus, is behind him now. And Islam wants to call the shots, fight for the title, fight in Abu Dhabi, and all his unbearable fans are on the same wagon. Islam best win is a short notice Dan Hooker. Yes he is the next best fight, but If charles wants to fight Conor for money, or if he wants to rest 6-7 months, HE'S IN HIS G*D* RIGHT.

Still can’t believe none of the MMA “journalists” followed up on Dana saying Rogan told him not to make the fight…

Olivera smoked the number 1 contender in less than one round. No matter how he did it. He actually looked like he was on another level

Charles has fought 3 times in very close succession - I'd say he deserves a bit of a break - and that's not what Charles is saying - he said in his press conference that he would fight in December.

In the most roundabout way in what only chael can provide, this was just a long form explanation as to why wrestling is superior to jujitsu while managing to still side with khabib and giving Justin a small thread of hope that in another dimension Justin didn't fumble and didn't get scared to engage.

Ok, Charles said he would like to come back in December … about 6 months from now. He never said he wants to go a long time without fighting.

Just make the damn fight Dana before Oliveira loses his belt and we miss out on the fight like we Did with Tony vs khabib lol

It’s really quite simple Justin dropped Charles twice and could not finish him and follow up on top of him whereas Charles drop Justin Once and finish the job so who is the More well rounded fighter

Justin got dismantled . His fighting style was taken apart by Charles.. Those leg kicks were getting completely dodged, and on top of it he beat him at his own game(stand up).

Charles striking is underrated, but there's a huge difference; When Charles gets stunned he goes to the canvas to recover and Gaethje, and most nobody else is willing to follow him. When Gaethje gets stunned, Charles has no problem going to the ground with him. Gaethje got submitted because he was completely helpless on the ground against Oliveira. Oliveira threw submission attempts at him faster than he could defend. He goes for the RNC but it's defended so then he switched to arm bar, triangle, and back to RNC within 10 seconds and Gaethje is still defending the arm bar. The reason Gaethje isn't getting a second shot is because he came in sloppy. Every punch he threw was some ridiculous unbalanced haymaker. He thought he could just KO Charles. Sure the striking created the opportunity, but his BJJ is what sealed it. Moreover, don't think Charles won't do stand up BJJ if he can't get you down or tempt you into his guard. From what I saw I suspect Charles would reverse any bottom position within 20 seconds.

People thik it was a one-punch thing. Go and rewatch the fight. CHarles hit justin head many time, landed knees, knees to the body, to the face... You could see Justin wobbling, missing shots, tired as we've never seen him in mid first round.

Chael?!! Are you really trying to imply that people have “the wrong idea” about Charle’s BJJ/grappling abilities??🤦🏻‍♂️ You keep saying, “That’s just not what I saw..” For Christs sake man! have you never watched him fight before??? He literally holds the record for most submission victories IN THE UFC! All of us REAL mma fans 😂 were blown away that Charles stood and ultimately outboxed a man like Geathje on the feet because we already knew how incredible Charles can be on the ground. Apparently you still don’t know that yet.

Chael please release an additional video that is all of these clips in the same long video I would love to listen to all of these in a continuous fashion and I'm not alone

Charles is a monster dude he impresses me everytime he fights and I knew he would submit Justin that’s the only way I believed he was gonna win

oliveira was never dropped by Gaethje. He was trying to bait justin

Justin didnt attempt to take Charles down - Justin didnt follow Charles to the ground after knocking him down twice. Charles tapped/choked out Justin less than 30 seconds after getting his back. A+ observation Chael.

I just watched your other two videos this morning as well. This is all quite interesting. What a trip, huh?!? I would personally love to see Charles Oliveira v.s. Islam Makaechev.

The era of Charles Olivera is over soon as he meets Islam. That will be this year.

I would even go so far as booking Islam - Chandler as soon as possible. An apparent superhuman vs a surging boogeyman, Winner has unmistakable spot as one of the best and their next fight is with either Oliveira after his layoff or the winner of an earlier Oliveira vacant title fight

Dude Charles didnt even need to grapple he straight up outstruck Gaethje, it was a dominant striking display. That leaves even less of a case for a rematch

Uncle Chael being a True American by heart, wants Justin to have another title shot😂😂 but no ways he's getting another shot after Tapping out.. If I was to say, In his own Words "Once a QUITTER, always a QUITTER.. 😅

Oliveira actually seems to go on his butt to recover for a moment if he gets hit hard, same than for example Werdum was doing. His BJJ skills kept Gaethje from taking advantage of the top position. Gaethje got caught, went to floor and he didn't have the same advantage and got submited. In this way BJJ still is very effective in MMA I would say. Even if the other guy goes to ground, good BJJ guy can clinch and survive for the next round more likely with lesser damage. Mr. Sonnen is right that submissions from the back are little more rare nowadays, but being good BJJ player can do reverses, create transitions take the back or to get up. Of course Demian Maia as prime example. Gathje going to ground after Oliveira would have been a risk, since he can create opportinties to attack the neck and the back with decent likelihood. So cannot say Gathje did totally wrong when backing out of the guard.

The difference between rose vs weili 1, and the other fights chael named compared to oliviera vs gaethje is they got knocked out with a single shot. Oliviera stumbled gaethje and then took advantage. They both wrestled and at one point Gaethje even got out of a triangle olivira tried to put him in. It wasn’t just a “lucky” shot he landed. oliviera stumbled Michael chandler too.

I think for an immediate rematch argument you need one of two things. Lack of options or a really competitive first fight Justin unfortunately is in a division with a bunch of killers, and preformed poorly.

Did Cheal just say to chalk up Charlie Olives effective striking as lucky? The same striking that was on display against chandler and porier? And that Charlie Olives didn’t display his BJJ when he effectively used striking and position before submission? Well it must be true cause Cheal said it. Undisputed and undefeated.

i just love how uncle chael is making me see things from different perspective… 👍thank you…

Charles striking is highly underrated, he took out Chandler Clean, went a boxing stand up with the best or arguably the best boxer in mma Dustin & Knocked out Justin in a Stand up match before he was submitted.

Can we please take a moment to appreciate that Chael has nearly got 1 million subs all through sitting on the fence what a performance from Chael…. Fence sitting GOAT

6:23 I will tell you what i saw. Even though Gaethje was put on the canvas by strikes, once he was there he had absolutely no submission defence. You can say that he was rocked which made it easier for Charles, but we saw the same thing in the Khabib fight. It looked like he didnt have the first clue of what to do when he was on his back. Gaethje has a massive hole in his game, and he relies on his excellent take down defence to cover up that hole. We all just saw what happens when the TD defence is removed from the equation and someone with great grappling gets him down. And it was over quick

Charles is the most complete fighter in the LW, he can punch, he’s jiu-jitsu is top level, he’s leg kicks with his knees are insane! There’s no fighter in LW division more complete than him! Let’s be honest

Chael we both know khabib tell no lie

It's hilarious that Chael keeps saying jujitsu from the back never works. Chael, would you like to tell us what position you were in when Anderson Silva subbed you in your first match, after you'd knocked the snot out of him for nearly 5 rounds straight?

This is a rambling masterpiece

It’s time we face the cold hard truth. Justin is not good on the ground. Despite what he’s done in his past, for the past two years, Justin has looked lost on the ground. Against Khabib, Justin looked lost. Against Charles, Justin was put away in 30 seconds. Justin is not a top-tier athlete at 155 pounds on the ground. That is a fact. There is no evidence in the last 2, 3, 100 years that Justin is an elite wrestler in the UFC. He had a lot of success in college, and he was a great wrestler. But in the UFC where is the evidence. There has been plenty of fights where Justin could have wrestled, but he did it. That tells me that he can’t. I don’t know if this is some tragic flaw by Justin, saying that he won’t wrestle because he wants to entertain. I don’t know what it is, but you cannot hop around the fact any longer. Justin looks lost on the ground. Against Khabib he got put away in less than a minute on the ground. Against Charles he got put away in less than a minute on the ground. It’s like he gives up, it’s like he quits once he gets taken down or Charles got on top of him. We can’t keep acting like Justin is some elite wrestler with good ground game when he has yet to show it in the UFC. We can’t keep acting like there’s some untapped potential that Justin keeps refusing to show, we need to accept the fact, we need to accept the truth. Justin‘s ground game is it what we I think it is.

Early congrats on 1 million subscribers Champ, another one for the Bad Guy. Still Undefeated and Undisputed 🐐

YOU’RE WRONG on this one Chael: a) Gaethje DIDN’T knock him down, Oliviera pretended to be knocked down which Justin saw right through. b) Charles HAS displayed precisely the same one punch power before, most recently against Chandler, and c) It’s his COMBINATION of striking and BJJ that make him supremely dominant 👊🏽🇧🇷🤓

You see people calling out everyone but no one calls khabib out because they know there are levels.

Chael’s favorite pastime is dismissing bjj, combat sambo and judo… because ‘rasslin’

Well Charles wasn’t beating top 5 guys until Tony (was Tony still top 5 when they fought?) Islams biggest win was Dan Hooker. Charles should give Islam the shot. Why would he want Islam to fight Benny first? If he’s fully confident that he can beat Islam, he should book it for December and go for getting his belt back. Charles got the shot after Tony. Islam can get the shot without fighting Benny. Honestly I would like to see Chandler fight Islam next but then that means a longer wait for Charles to fight for the belt.

Justin, Dustin and Chandler have had a shot at the title. Why not give Islam or Beneil a chance? Stylistically I think Islam vs Oliveria is a better fight than Dariush vs Oliveria. Let Beniel fight against the winner for the title, we're in no rush, Beneil being Islam's first title defence would be great too.

I can’t believe chael is almost at 1 million subs let’s go I can’t wait to see the mill

Chael, it would be absolutely EPIC if you got a press pass and could ask questions at the pressers and such.

Oliveira was in a lose/lose situation on Saturday and ended up coming out a winner. Never would've guessed Gaethje would be dropped and strangled in less than a round. it's like Oliveira is shitting on Khabib's legacy by finishing Poirier and Gaethje faster than he could, now he's about to fight Khabib's best friend and his father's favorite protege. If he knocks Islam out, Charles is new 155 GOAT

I think pure jiujitsu is overhyped for MMA, but Gaethje was scared of it and Charles was confident enough to pull guard and (I think) fake getting knocked down to get Gaethje to jump on top. Olivera is spooky.

P.s. Chael lost to a triangle choke. That’s not a wrestling triangle choke

Khabib was right also when he said "tony is finished, he took too much damage and will never recover " after the dustin fight. He has been losing epically

everyone respects the hell outta his ground game but now theyre gonna finally start respecting them hands too

chael backs up for a second so often he never actually moves forward

Chael, I like the kicks. what kinda shoes are those brother I need me some

My favorite game to play with myself is, “can I remember the title of this chael sonnen video” after every installment. Undefeated!

So I have a question that I'd love to hear your opinion on......at this point given the last two loses that Dustin and Justin have for the belt with two losses do they have the cowboy curse meaning can't show up when the lights are the brightest????? Also am I the only one who felt like Justin was refighting the khabib fight even losing the same way

Hi Chael, just wanted to say that whenever you post video about Khabib, i really appreciate it. He is a true champion and always GOAT. He has huge fan base in Asia. Nevertheless, You are a good fighter and nice human being too. You are doing a great job. Keep up the good work. Lots of love and blessings from Uttarakhand, India 🇮🇳

I can agree we even saw Oliveira attempt guard from the standing position and fail which takes away from the dominant grappling suggestion.

I'm really hoping somebody 20 years from now releases 2lp vinyl with Chael's best speeches. Undisputed Undefeated! ....(also I hope that the double LP vinyl ends up in some futuristic museum 2000 years from now as the only item left from the 21st century)

I just watched greatness.

Chael, Charles was beating Justin with angles and combos so hard that when Justin took the punch that knocked him he was already flustered and heavily damaged. Not at to do with ‘catching’ or getting ‘caught’, wildly different than RoseVsWeili. Tony got caught, are we getting a rematch?

Chael “jiu jitsu off your back doesn’t work. “ Chael was submitted a whole bunch of time by someone off their backs.

This is the only fight to make.

I agree with you Chael,,,,

The reason makachev hasn't fought for the championship is they know he literally won't lose dude is khabibs right hand man.

Olives hands and techniques are top notch his jitz is so good people overlook how good his stand up really is. Fight iq is top tier....it's wierd because he's super hittable but his plan always comes together last couple fights when someone almost kos him. Every time he fights it gets more exciting the breakdowns get more interesting. It's like chael is saying the great champion evolves to eventually not make his own standard set. Money makes less hungry.

CHAEL UR A POLITICIAN AT HEART

Charles wants to fight again by the end of the year, thats what he really said. He's already had 3 fights in less than a year. Why try and make him look bad and spread misinformation uncle Chael?

How is Charles saying he's not gonna fight when he's been the most active champ in the last year. Also last I checked Charles called out McGregor which tells me he does want to keep fight9ng

Chael we aren’t done with the lightweight division yet either, we need more content

The style match up might be the best match up ufc has ever put together

,,, - The GOAT of MMA

This guy is over complicating every single small thing that does not need to be complicated. Why should Justin get a rematch because of what happened in a similar situation all those years ago? The sport has moved on , Justin blew his chance and gets to go to the back of the line. Also, Charles striking set up his excellent jujitsu which is why Justin didn’t follow him to the ground. Please find yourself a hobby and stop trying the elucidate every single sentence a fighter utters

Charles literally said he wishes to fight in dec in Brazil. Speaking about the frequency of his fights, he`s quite an active fighter usually 2 fights per year.

Justin has one of the best tap/nap combos in lightweight history. Respect

Chael is never letting this go…. And I’ll never stop watching him not letting go 🤣

I think Islam should get the opportunity just because if he gets beat then Benny get the next shot so then we possibly have the next two opponents for Charles

Chael nailed it hindsight’s 20/20

Dude should run for president. Nobody else would have a chance

Hey Chael if you ever see this; Any comments on Canelo loosing to Bivol? I mean it can affect 170 as Kamaru Usman may no longer be interested in any potential macthes (Might be lapping around the division as he doesn't wanna move up). At the same time Chandler might move to 170 and Nathen Diaz and Conor may already fit into 170 as well.. Any thoughts?

Eleven fights, eleven wins, in less than 4 years. If Charles wants to wait until 2023, so what? The year is almost half over. Early 2023 isn’t absurd, at all. Show me another champion with 11 fights in less than 48 months. Over that same time period, Izzy is 9-1, Volk is 7-0, Usman is 8-0.....NOBODY would say those guys aren’t busy.

Chael “it’s one of those things” Sonnen

Almost at 1 million subs Uncle Chael. Keep rambling your way to making a living.

Chael you make 10 videos a day but have never commented or gave a heart to any commenters

They are scared to give Makhachev a chance at the belt cos he may never give it back like Khabib by never losing

He really goes hard for the wrestling dudes! That’s fights done mate😂 let’s move forward Chael

The only thing I could picture when Chael said BJJ isn’t a wildly affective art from your back is Paul Craig slapping on triangles left & right.

They moved on because Justin Gaethje already had two title fights and lost by basically getting dominated by his opponents. That fact is, the UFC wants to see something else.

If Charles was still the belt holder then he could wait six months, he has already defended it twice this year. Is there some rule somewhere that puts a time limit on a vacant belt ? Can islam makhachev vs beneil dariush get done this year ?

I like it uncle Chael! I wouldn’t be mad if they ran it back again with the title on the line for both dudes. I also would not be opposed to a trilogy if Justin would win. There’s just so much talent and excitement in the cage once the door closes behind those two.

Chael: I didn't see any BJJ Bro you so your telling me you didn't see that beautiful guard pull from the clinch????

the reason there's no talk of Gathje going to fight him again Chael is because Gathje would lose to Porier if anybody is supposed to fight Charles twice its probably Dustin. although i don't think that's what should happen.. Islam just beat bobby green, Benelli beat Tony. if they aren't going to fight they should give the fight to the one who fought the tougher opponent at the very least.

It's not complicated. The same rules that stripped Charles also grant him the right to fight for the belt at his very next fight. Charles has said for his next fight he accepts to fight the winner of Islam vs Dariush. Now Dana can choose to present a different opponent and that could be Conor or Gaetchje or Chandler, etc. But Charles has some rights as the result of missing weight and getting stripped and no one fights for the title unless he's part of that fight. Maybe it should go to court. Let the lawyers fight for the title😂

There is no longer a language barrier, he can express himself very well in English, he use simple words to convey his opinion and gets the. Job done nowadays.

Chael reminds me of when I was in college writing essays and finding the most lengthy wordy way to say a sentence to barely scrape past that word count

Chael's ability to use 5,000 words instead of 50 is remarkable. He sounds like that kid that didn't do his report, and is trying to stretch out his presentation.

“Justin is afraid to go to the ground for reasons I don’t know”. I feel as though perhaaaaaaps his hesitation is based on his history of being choked out by superior wrestlers. Lol. I love Justin. Let’s all be honest here though. Chael, I love you. We all do. But not even YOU, the patron saint of fence riding, can ride a fence THAT hard without hurting your nuts. Lol

Chael I want you to know this. Whenever I see a new video of yours, no matter the topic, it’s the first video I watch. And I have over 70 subscriptions on KZfaq! You’re my first visit for new videos!

Chael... is a jiu jitsu match a fight? And why? I always go back and forth between yes and no and would like to know your opinion. Thanks.
