A man as great and as accomplished as Chael Sonnen, and you can see by the look in his eyes that his greatest accomplishments are his children. Good man.
Wow. What a fantastic interview! The triumphant return of Ariel and The Bad Guy was amazing and just shows why this combination is without question THE BEST show in all of MMA.😊
Ariel is terrible... 1ST. RIGO 2ND DC RC 3RD GURU 4TH DC AND FUNKY.. All Ariel does is whine and cries over stuff that isn't That serious. He instigates ARGUMENTS, SHOWS his biases but considers himself a journalist.. if he doesn't like someone, he is constantly trying to make the look bad.. to answer aroels question about why strickland is so popular.... because he is real, honest, and tough, complete opposite of ariel

That's what I've been trying to tell these casuals. Everyone wants to say it was Colby, but it actually was Leon. He was not going to beat this guy because of the fire power.
@@mattgehringer8554 Colby did nothing, and even after the dead-dad comments, elite striker Leon landed only 3 more sig strikes in R1. 'Murdered on the feet' lol, did you watch the fight? It was an absolute stinker, the most 'convincing' round for Leon he had 5 additional strikes - it was a 1/10 performance for Colby, but only a 2/10 for Leon. What's with all these people coping saying it was a 'domination' lol. Even Dana said his champ 'outwrestled Colby' - which never happened - Colby had triple the control time and had elevated takedowns. Seems like cope, as people were hoping that Leon would finish the guy who said his dad was in hell, instead he barely outpointed him
lol ya I think everyone was suprised by his performance. Whether you’re a fan or not of Colby I think everyone thought he’d bring the fight a little more. He basically did nothing for 4 1/2 rounds.
I dont know why, but this is exactly what the MMA community needed before the holidays. Just great seeing these two back at it and burying the hatchet. Legends!
I know this is a longshot, but it would be awesome if Dana made up with Ariel. You can tell he's such a huge superfan between Keith Keizer, immediately knowing where Bisping got in trouble, etc. Ariel really is the pinnacle of MMA journalism, just because he loves it. I think he was such a huge part of the UFC growth and instead we get social media content creators like Nina covering events. No shade towards her, but Ariel deserves his spot with the company. That era was the beginning of spoilers creeping online, but Dana White sees the way social media has evolved. You can't keep any secrets now anyway. Give them man his credentials back.
Yes - he actually asks the hard hitting questions that us as fans want to know, at least for the most part. I consider him to be a phenomenal journalist and have always enjoyed watching his interviews.
Chael deliberately trolling Belal 'remember the name' by continuing to call him 'Blahall' and keeping this joke going for years is great. It's my second favourite name troll he does after referring to Tyson Fury's brother as 'Will Fury'. His long term commitment to his running jokes is impressive.
Great comeback by Chael here in this rematch, really turned it around showing that him submitting last time doesn't mean he was done for good. Looking forward to round 3
@@USFCpresident Wtf are talking about, Chael acted like a 14 year old raging call of duty player until he rage quit. Ariel was just calmly making his point and Chael was sweating his face off not being able to handle it for some reason
When Colby was back up for Leon usman 3 Dana was almost being annoying talking about Colby is next no matter what, now Belal has not only been the back up but also fought burns on short notice for the next title shot and Dana is saying he doesn’t know
Yea it’s crazy. I’m not a Belal fan and would rather see Shavkat jump him for the next title shot, but if they don’t give it to Belal after promising it to him and he was the backup for the last title fight, man that’d be dirty.
@@jericho-tube it’s deeper than that tho. Dana said before Leon’s last fight that Belal was next 100%. Dana said Colby got the title fight because he was the backup fighter for Leon’s previous title defense. Belal was also the backup fighter for Colby vs Leon. I hope you can see how people would think it’s bogus if Belal doesn’t get the next shot
Crazy how Leon was super dismissive about Belal ("I won 10 fights and still had to wait for a title fight so Belal should wait too"), and even Dana was dismissive of him and got more excited about Shavkat in the post-fight conference. I get that people say Belal is a boring fighter, but the title shot suppression is really blatant.
Leon dismisses Belal on purpose because he knows how much it bothers Belal who has spent 2½ years doing nothing but talking about Leon. He knows Belal is next he's just having fun.
@@JudasVondigfinally someone who gets it . We all know Belal is next and Leon and his coach Dave saying this just means Leon is in the headlines . As they say no publicity is bad publicity ! And then when he actually finishes Belal (which he will ) he can say in the post fight that he told us all he didn’t deserve it as he knew he would smash him easily and he wanted a challenge . It’s actually clever if people take the time to listen to their full interviews in which they both say they know it’s Belal next .
@@mattbrooks90yessir. That's the only other fight that I thought of that makes sense. Islam blows up 2 about the same as Colby . Like 175 -180. Islam cuts about 20 lbs which is average 4 most fighters. Colby could make LW easily but choses not 2.
I love you two. Even with disagreements and arguments we always come back, life is too short and make the call. Love the wholesome moment with Chael and his kids show up and Ariel hyping up Chael how a true friend would do.
Leon just doesn't like Belal. Belal's said some really derogatory things about him and basically been a hater of his for years. He's never going to go out of his way to help Belal get an opportunity.
Colby fought like absolute sh$t but it was no massacre Leon did very little damage other then pitter patter leg kicks that fight was incredibly boring if Leon was this killer everyone now thinks he is why didn’t he push the pace to get him out ? Shavkat is gonna destroy Leon and make this division great again
Kevin Keeney is an amazing guy. Was my coach for several years love the dude and the toughness he instills in you. One of his best lines was during a tough practice he goes “change your mindset right now! This is tough but tell yourself you love this. This is what you want.” Whenever I’m in a tough workout or anything similar I just think I live for moments like these. Awesome guy same with Chael both great dudes
I’ve gotten in arguments with friends before. But they never went to their massive internet audience and implied I was an anti semite over it. Chael must be a really forgiving guy
They didnt argue, because the P in Chael P Sonnen stands for Peace. What a guy. To anyone reading this: Happy Holidays and have a Happy New Year. Ohh and Roll Tide!
And when Episode 6 of the Embedded vlog was uploaded, it was taken down 25 minutes later because Colby said at the end "I was in character" to Leon during the face-off. The video was re-uploaded 40 minutes later and that specific part was removed. Dana didn't want to undermine the PPV buys. It is still uploaded on the Russian version of the episode.
We will never see a fighter like chael sonnen again. I put him with the diaz brothers as far as interviews go. None are more interesting than them guys.
Ariel voice crack is so funny lmao. But even better is chael acting as if he doesn't understand that taking a drink will clear his throat. It hurts to listen to him talk sometimes i love him though 😂
Chael Sonnen talks - My ADHD acting like a wide receiver trying to catch all the detail hurdles chaels throwing 🤣 man It can get exhausting sometimes but I'm glad there's someone out there who speaks in this much detail
7:20 don’t believe Chael in general but especially when he’s talking about a friend of his. Everyone saw that Colby wasn’t fighting to win at UFC 296, he was fighting to not get knocked out.
I remember Keith Kizer, I can't find it anywhere but wasn't he interviewed at one point? Maybe during Nick Diaz litigation? Or something along those lines am I imagining something that never happened? Someone anyone?
Does anyone else remember when Bader was fighting Anthony Johnson and basically straight laid down because he was terrified? Bader dosent want anything to do with Francis
@4:55 so basically "Belal being denied because hes not the most entertaining option" to "Belal being denied because he's the more entertaining option" utter madness. Not necessarily JUST for that but just for that, i hope Belal wins the belt.
Belal is the most boring unlikeable fighter on the roster but I think it will be a difficult match up for Leon, Belal stepped in 2 week notice against Leon, will be interesting with a full camp
Love the show but unbelievable ball drop today. Between Dave and then Chael, about 30 mins of discussion on Leon's next opponent... dave had mentioned ufc 300... you all pointed out "hmm is belal big enough for that? Hmmm shavkat? Burns? hmmm, well there's no other options etc etc Islam. Not even mentioned. Huge fight if made
I agree with Chael, Blohal is next.
Only after Blohal beats Jonny Jonses
Bill Hyle
Never heard of him, shavkat next
@@fahims768 Jon Africa???
😂
The way Chael smiles at his kids as they walk off camera shows how much he loves them.

Yea lol he’s nuts.
He’s doing it on purpose most of the time but that makes it even more funny
Cry me a river

@@BreakneckTVIt's so funny, it's gotta be on purpose because even with Pereira he was stopped, corrected and shown the correct way to say it, he said it, and then went straight back to callung him Pierra and to this day had stuck to it lol

Or Hazmat, Kamara, Macklechev, Blehal and so on 😂😂 the funniest part is he mispronounces their names to their faces and they don't even bother to correct em they just roll with it 😂
I love how Chael responds to Ariel’s questions by elaborating on his answer of a previous question and asks what was the current question again 😂
That's because his mouth is moving fast than his brain can process
Pro move
It's like a Ronnie Corbett and Ronnie Barker sketch where the person keeps answering the question before rather than one being asked.
@@luckyspursthat's exactly what I was thinking when I was listening 😂
It’s a power move, you don’t answer to the other person unless it’s on your own terms

The thing Colby didn’t like was every time he threw he got tagged on the counter. Was bleeding after 1 round and he hadn’t landed. Shook him
That's what I've been trying to tell these casuals. Everyone wants to say it was Colby, but it actually was Leon. He was not going to beat this guy because of the fire power.
He still could’ve committed and hit Leon, it’s not like NONE of his strikes landed. When you only throw singular shots, it’s easy to catch and counter
@@demetriusray1627 nah exactly, even at his best Colby would have gotten murdered on the feet and we saw that
Yes and he probably trained takedowns for leon in southpaw and leon fought mostly orthodox which probably threw him off

You're in too deep.
@@magx01 I can't let you get close.
I can listen to Chael talk about MMA for hours 😂💯
He clearly didn’t like the kicks coming at his head. He hasn’t ever dealt with someone that can kick like Leon.
Not really because Colby backed up before the leg kicks. He usually comes forward straight out of the gate vs strikers
Little bit more than that he was on the back step from rnd 1. No forward presure like all his other fights 😮
Chael?? You must not know his resume fam
@@noelnoniColby said Leon staying in orthodox for much of the fight messed him up. Sounds like he had a 1 dimensional game plan.
He's a close-range fighter. Kick is not the reason. The pressure got to him and his leg got compromised early on.
Awwww to see how much chael loves his children is great. I’m sure he’s a great father.
Chaels mimicking trumps hand movements is hilarious
@thepenskifile4400 He's a Trumpster for sure.

The Keith Kizer talk is killing me
Glad to see this.
Belal should be next 100% but that fight is not big enough to headline 300
Gotta ties with Chael my G. Crazy how people hate Ariel but love Chael The True Snake Sonnen
Masvidal v Leon, just for the spectacular
Its nice to see the family 🎉
Im glad theyve resolved things
Nothing better than Chael & Ariel!
So glad and it was tremendous ;)
What colby felt was fear. Leon touched him up a few times and colby went into survival mode.

Did Chael catch that or did it go over his head?? Lmao nice one Ariel!!
Chael couldn’t let the reference get close
@@theprav-man9370 lmao
Glad they made up these guys are perfect together
@4:55 so basically "Belal being denied because hes not the most entertaining option" to "Belal being denied because he's the more entertaining option" utter madness. Not necessarily JUST for that but just for that, i hope Belal wins the belt.
Hey chaels son. That is a super cool jacket and old school tap out t-shirt you are wearing. Very cool choice.
Dang it Ariel! He was begging you to pry into the Kaiser perjury! Chael circled back to that story like 4 different times haha.
Leon should fight Belal. It seems like a easy pay day. He was looking like he was 10 steps ahead of Belal when they first fought.
Belal is the most boring unlikeable fighter on the roster but I think it will be a difficult match up for Leon, Belal stepped in 2 week notice against Leon, will be interesting with a full camp
Love the show but unbelievable ball drop today.
Between Dave and then Chael, about 30 mins of discussion on Leon's next opponent... dave had mentioned ufc 300... you all pointed out "hmm is belal big enough for that? Hmmm shavkat? Burns? hmmm, well there's no other options etc etc
Islam. Not even mentioned. Huge fight if made
