Wow what a flash back this appearing in my recommended! Chael dominating for 99% of the fight and then fell at the last hurdle! Ariel stil being able to interview Dana. Ty youtube!! 👍
WTF so Alves can beat Fitch and have another crack at GSP already? His last fight was against GSP, if he wins he should fight the winner of Shields/Kampman to determine the #1 contender..because Kos is fighting GSP on December, then we got Alves/Fitch winner fighting GSP and also Shields/Kampman, that would mean one of those winners will probably wait a year before they get their title shot, a little too long
@kazyBarbarian most reviews are written by people who know the game inside and out, not just casual fans who wanna see two guys go in there and get into a bar fight. That is very true, they should never leave it to the judges. IMO even if chael and anderson went the distance chael would have had it. Anderson NEEDED to make something happen in the last minute of the fight or he would have lost. All the props in the world to him for making it happen.
Its amazing how big of a mark Dana White is. As successful as UFC is, it could be much bigger if he realized his job is to be a promoter and draw money.
@latnlvr79 Uh, Sonnen got caught TRYING to finish, when he could have EASILY layed and prayed to the win. Chael DOMINATED Silva for 4 full rounds. He backed up ALL of his shit talk. Chael even ruled the stand up. I can't wait for the rematch.
are u, all dana used to do was say how anderson is the number1 p4 fighter.he would always congratulate anderson on his performances and has always bigged anderson up to like a magician in the octagon. yeah really sounds like dana hates him
@ayygomez i luv technical fights. interesting fact: Anderson was in pride and lost in the last seconds of a match he was dominating by a flying heel hook. i didnt actually watch the sonnen, Anderson fight but alot of people said it was boring. Did u see Sonnen's face i think the fight might have been closer than u thought.
@libyanballa couldn't you see that silva was playing with him the whole time? Silva was intentionally blocking Sonnens punches with his face. By the end of the third round, i was convinced that Silva was just fucking with him. Even in the fourth round, with Silva clearly behind in points, I still couldn't get any takers on 2 to 1 for silva to win.
@kukay771 Lance Armstrong is a tour de france cyclist, who had testicular cancer and still won. chael said that Lance was doing drugs cheating and gave himself cancer in a radio interview.
@minte0407 LOL. "Silva was intentionally blocking Sonnens punches with his face". Wow.. You mean Silva was getting walloped in the face. Man, with a statement like that I dont know if I should take you serious or not.
@kenwatch77 I wanted Chael to win too because of how Anderson had been in previous fights. Funny how just because Dana is the president, people seem to think he shouldn't be able to have opinions of fights or fighters. Andersons only got himself to blame for losing fans
Mike Tyson once said "hate has no place in a disciplined sport". I love sports and I hate to see any type of racism or fight fixing. I think the best man should win period. white black or green..
Dude dana was super happy that day. That ufc 116 must have been realy good $ to have a huge smile like that. Lets just hope tonight anderson give us the real spider.
@grimy9 he said something about "lance did all this shit to his body and got cancer and made himself a victim and made millions....etc etc" and then he said he NEVER said anything about Lance Armstrong
sonnen dominates silva on the ground for all 5 rounds....less than 2 minutes left in the 5 round match silva taps out sonnen....what a fuckin match wow
@logblacklabel18 I'd have to see how Shield's fight against a top 5 fighter in the UFC and see how dominating he is to legitimately get a title shot. Personally I believe Fitch should have gotten a rematch for a title shot against GSP a long time ago. Jon Fitch is without a doubt the #2 welterweight in the world no questions.
@kazyBarbarian well thats the problem. Watch the fight! you gotta see it for your self. Sonnen got tagged a few times there was some ground stuff. But i swear to you look up any review on that fight and you will see that if they would have went all 5 rounds chael would have won. im not just saying this out of opinion.
Tf are you talking about? He absolutely beat silvas ass for 5 rounds until the end obviously. Thought he had a chance? It was a hair away from Chael winning
@Nibielari orrr he knows exactly what hes doing to HYPE a fight and get ppl to watch because anderson never hypes fights..but sure ur theory makes a whole lot of sense....
@kazyBarbarian in all honesty both are disappointing, but id rather have a short fight where someone gets knocked out. i dont think that fight was disappointing at all. There was stand up and ground work. I understand tho some people dont like to watch technical fights (perfect example is gsp fights) but if silva wouldnt have submitted chael in that last round chael would have one via unanimous decision. Dana said it and everyone knows it.
Ariel! saw you on the mission bay boardwalk in san diego Monday with your crooked expos hat on,i saw the nose and automatically knew. LoL your a celebrity now!
@kazyBarbarian Did U watch the fight?! Lay n pray?its called wrestling. that was the most exciting Silva fight ive seen in a while. i think A.S. is an AMAZING fighter, but i was tired of him just walking all over every opponent and non of them were able to make him work! Chael went in there, exchanged and actually HIT Silva. he has nothing to apologize for, he talked his game & almost took that belt. If u were to look at the scorecards b4 the submission i guarantee u Chael had it via U.D.
@kazyBarbarian Even Ed Soares said chael did a great job. no offense but anyone who thinks showboating instead of fighting makes for a good fight needs to get educated on the game.
Chael Sonnen> Anderson Silva Props to both fighters but in my book Chael had that, shame he didn't get it down on paper by finishing the fight while he could have...
@CarneyAuerbach Chael sonnen made a claim on live radio that hes basically saying es sick for attention and shit, but e denies saying anything, search it on youtube, theres many videos with proof
@ayygomez whats the diff btween a bunch of reviews and a bunch of friends. Any fighter knows not to leave a fight to the judges. besides i think writers get to watch the fight over n over again while judges n friends only get 1 chance.
@kazyBarbarian its intensifies a fight when they display technique and skill not prancing around and trying to make the other guy look like an ass. make the other guy look like an idiot by knocking him out or submitting him. i get it, anderson was having fun and proving that damien wasnt on his level for that fight, but i would rather have had him end it than dance around like an idiot.
all truth exept ..."whats ur relationship with anderson " all u hear is sta sta studder....i bet anderson fuckin is done after this fight after the disrespect he got after that dance he did....hes P4P king n it wud b a fuckin HUGE loss for UFC if he quit
@ayygomez did u watch that fight? it was boring until the end. Anderson's showboating is what made his fight with Griffin so memorable just like all the others expect Mia but thats bcuze Mia is a shitty fighter compared to The Spider. Chael didnt even apologize. Hell he didnt even do anything he said he was going to do. i usually support showboating as a fighting style but Sonnen's lay and pray approach pissed me off. when u r 9-0 champ of the UFC u have the right to taunt showboat and tease.
@WowRapFlowOmghi I thought that too, at first I was like oh hes just leting Chael get one in, but afterwards U could tell dat wasn't the same Anderson Silva fightin that night, and ur right his ribs must if been really Fup.
@kazyBarbarian what chael did and what anderson did were two completely different things. Chael talks shit BEFORE a fight. Anderson was "showboating" DURING a fight and gave a lack luster performance....jus sayin.
@ayygomez catch 22 would u rather c a fight where sombody taunts too much (rare) or would u rather have a very dissapionting and short main event title match (also rare). The Spider vs Mia was bound by fate 2 b a shitty match, but Sonnen vs Anderson wasnt but it still turned out rather dissapointing until the end. i guess we r tryin 2 say the same thing showboating can makes a fight "lack luster". but i still like taunting as long as u can back it up. (Mia was acting like Sonnen b4 the match too
@akuonye I agree with you Dana White is an extreme racist. He refuses to promote the other top black grapplers and mma fighters.Mike Tyson once said: hatred has no place in a disciplined sport. He was right !!
@TheDozer5 He doesnt say the shit out loud he simply doesnt recruit the top black fighters. thats all... The only blacks you see fighting are guys just wanting to be on tv win or lose. He lets blacks fight in fights he know are going to get there ass kicked... off of the street somewhere.He isn't going to get a guy like ronaldo Jacqure from Brazil to fight because he knows noone is going to beat him so he will have another anderson silva. dana will not let that happen..
@timekeeper20ARC Silva went into the fight with injured ribs, and as for Sonnen did U C his face? guy was Fup, Anderson had a few bumps, Sonnen could if won if he hit harder, I mean common did U C da fight? He punches like a little girl if he had put more power into those punches than mayB he would if won. And if there is a rematch Anderson will hopefully go into the fight 100% and then lets C what a healthy Anderson can do, If he beat Sonnen with bad ribs Imagine what he can...
@TheDozer5 mma is still new in its comeback. We will see in the near future. Usually dana white finds some sorry ass black dude to come get his weak ass drug by some blonde head white guy.. then he says "see I told you blacks cant fight mma"". he has only one black fighter that is good thats anderson silva and hes 35 years old almost on his way out of the door.Dana white prayes that he looses a fight dana even tried to force Silva to fight his training partner and friend Lyto Michido
Wow what a flash back this appearing in my recommended! Chael dominating for 99% of the fight and then fell at the last hurdle! Ariel stil being able to interview Dana. Ty youtube!! 👍
What a nice interview, im sure these two guys will be great friends in the future
I love your interview style, asking questions, good probing questions most wouldn't have the balls to ask.
2022 Arial is asking the worst most intrusive questions and just crys
Ariel has been pissing Dana off for years. Used to be on good terms but Ariel kinda asks for his negative feedback
sshut ur ass up. if u want yes man interviewers go fucking watch mmajunkie
@@ALEXFVHS there is a difference. I don't want my reprters to be "yes men". But he has a tabloid attitude. Not well respected by anyone.

does anyone know what the lawsuit is about and what happened?

Wow.. You mean Silva was getting walloped in the face. Man, with a statement like that I dont know if I should take you serious or not.
i cannot wait! this card is fucking stacked!
Best pals forever
Dana was a much more interesting interview back in the day
@RomaTuh He said he gave himself cancer by taking drugs, or something along those lines.
what lawsuit?

what happend with bellator?does any1 know
They've help hype Chael up so much that for a second I believed that he could have a chance of beating Silva... sheesh, glad I snapped out of it
Tf are you talking about? He absolutely beat silvas ass for 5 rounds until the end obviously. Thought he had a chance? It was a hair away from Chael winning
Ariel Helwani co-hosted kinda on the Versus UFC , pretty cool.
anderson silva almost gets kicked out for showboating but sonnen gets... nothing
ufc is 2morrow shit just realised. cant wait
@Nibielari orrr he knows exactly what hes doing to HYPE a fight and get ppl to watch because anderson never hypes fights..but sure ur theory makes a whole lot of sense....

if matt does retire, they should have a retirement match with him vs dennis hallman see if he could redeem one of those losses from superman.

What did Beletore do?
lol look at dana's big grin at the start
Who's Lance Armstrong, and what did Sonnen say about him??
Chael Sonnen> Anderson Silva

I never see Dana so happy o I know hi was talking about Mr CHAEL SONNEN

It's gotta happen. The question is not IF, but WHEN :)
@Stevofxx 'Fraid so. Sorry if your straightness is offended.
Fight of the year IMHO. WAR SONNEN, Silva did pretty much shit to impress me.
Back when they where still cool
