I disagree...Kron didn't go out and fight with his father's philosophy...he drank the "Helio-Kool Aid" of thinking that the guard was some kind of amazing thing that couldn't be defeated. Rickson cross trained, competed in Sambo, learned leg locks from Eric Paulson. Kron doesn't seem to think that any modern innovations are worth while.
Chael, the mma community is literally one of the most victim minded, lacking masculinity and better judgment type of group of ppl I’ve ever heard from. That’s what the comments tell me wether I’m looking at your video or Ariel’s video. It’s so sad and pathetic, but it’s that law of polarity. Bc mma is brut, it attracts wanna be’s.
Agreed. I think a lot of people forget some of the flack the BJJ community gave Kron after Cub Swanson for not sticking to the jiu jitsu philosophy enough. Not giving him an excuse, but yeah
It's 100% Kron's attitude accompanied by performance. If he was humble or seemed self aware rather than apathetic, that perception and reception would be different. I agree with your points, though.
Uncle Chael is right - I was a purple belt in 1993. A crazy collection of people rocked up to the mat to 'try us out' - it was the wild west and a super fun time. We have all come a long way since then. Chael talks sense - he remains the one MMA fighter I do enjoy listening to ...
When Rickson was fighting, he was fighting big guys with no college wrestling experience. So he took them down, dominated them from the top and finished the fight with clean submissions.
I think it's a combination of looking like he crawled out of a dumpster. Was pretty much null and void during fight week with the media. And was the opening fight on an $80 PPV (which was the UFC's fault). And scooted on his ass for 15 minutes which was super annoying no matter who does it. Yes Kron 'put it on the line' but he did it for a lot of money.
I agree with you Chael but I think the thing that has enabled people to feel how they feel about Kron is his attitude PAIRED with his performance, not just his performance
Kron does not, and should not, get credit for his father's efforts. Kron refuses to train/improve striking I have seen it at Danzigs when I was there. Kron just isn't very bright. I'm not talking shit he gets my respect for stepping into the cage though. And yes I'm pretty much your age Chael and yes I've trained since 05 and yes I've followed the sport since its creation.
Uncle Chael went out with the coffee, forgot he took the car keys, continued on his walk, decided to round up the story back in front on his home, without drinking a sip of that coffee. Undisputed....
You’d think a Gracie wouldn’t pull guard like he does. Like the Gracie’s dislike how non Gracie BJJ is but with performances like Kron you can’t even tell the difference.
Mr. Sonnen, you were to kind. Kron didn't want to be there, he just needed the money, he wasn't prepared, he has been much better, he smokes to many trees, for his sake I hope he retires, because his drive is gone.
BJJ for MMA died in the 90s lets not get it twisted. The current rules would never allow somebody like Kron to be a champion again. No premiere org is going to go back to no time limits. BJJ is a self defense art and that is it.
@@aleksivirta6093 it is important to know It for sure and more specifically to know how to defend against it. Specializing in it will not work anymore just look at Damian Maia and Kron. If it worked we would see a BJJ specialist still winning. Even Rickson himself has admitted that BJJ as currently implemented the rules do not favor the specialist in it. Bad BJJ can still win you a championship in modern MMA.
Rickson's philosophy is similar to all of the Gracie's philosophy. BJJ has to be for self-defense first, sport is secondary to that. Rickson tested that for himself when he was 21 years old against a very large, muscular, athletic man, who was trying to hurt him severely. Rickson was successful.
@@SAM-ru4vx Jiu-Jitsu is just one tool used. Being a master at one discipline can be very successful but you can't completely ignore the other aspects of the sport. .
Yes Izzy vs Alex 3 was on the table and the UFC opted to protect pretty boy by forcing Poatan up to 205 to fight a guy (Jan) who was game to go down to 185 to rematch pretty boy. No one asked for Jan vs Alex except the company.
Ok big guy, hole up right there. It is most certainly possible to choke guys to sleep very gently. And Kron is not Hickson. But I do think it is pretty clear at this point that being on the bottom sucks. I rolled so many time just kind of laughing in a respectful way about how that guard fighter underneath me would deal with getting punched in the face. Just sayin.

Chael looking like he should be on the cover of Vice City
Khabib is Nikko I finally figured it out
Sean Strickland is Trevor Phillips
Chael WAS on the cover of Vice City
Yes! Which radio channel would Chael listen to? V Rock?
But he acts like Lazlo...
I admire your courage for walking the mean streets of West Linn alone.
😂😂😂
I feel the same as you Chael about the disrespect that Kron got. I 'm glad you did this video.
if Kron had his hand raised... Gracie Bjj would have been praised...
Man, I love jiu jitsu and have trained for years but kron saying he was trying to appease the jiu jitsu crowd in a ufc octagon is a fool's errand.
This guy is just brilliant
Chael's house looks like he lives in heaven

A beautiful walking path ...10 thousand steps a day ,10,000 hours for all something or another!
"Philosophies are very, very rare." ~ Chael P. Sonnen
Chael has slowly turned into Reed Richards
Agreed. I think a lot of people forget some of the flack the BJJ community gave Kron after Cub Swanson for not sticking to the jiu jitsu philosophy enough.
Not giving him an excuse, but yeah
arguably Ben Askrens striking was better than Krons
now THAT is saying something
You and Jay Cutler, walkin and talkin. A lesson in time management, commentating (informing) and walking (health benefits). Two studs (peas) in a pod.
It's 100% Kron's attitude accompanied by performance. If he was humble or seemed self aware rather than apathetic, that perception and reception would be different. I agree with your points, though.
Chael making a perfect loop video!! Now I have seen it all

Nice glasses Unc.
Palhares was the most gentle BJJ practitioner
Great comments. The Gracies are multi generational. Cant wait to see who comes next.
awesome Chael... love the background on Rickson and Bruce Lee... for their philosophical influences. :)
Man, great breakdown Chael! Always a fan
I agree with you Chael but I think the thing that has enabled people to feel how they feel about Kron is his attitude PAIRED with his performance, not just his performance
Kron gracie's boxing looks like a chimpanzee trying to box.
Mah niggah!
Love the Gracie Family
Hair cut looking sharp sir
Chael, i like this Robert Evans look you have going.

lol right

Kron Gracie went broke back mountain in Montana
Damn, West Linn is nice.
rickson gracie aint shit because rickson gracie doesn’t post 10 times a day like the goat
You’d think a Gracie wouldn’t pull guard like he does. Like the Gracie’s dislike how non Gracie BJJ is but with performances like Kron you can’t even tell the difference.
Chael, please stop making videos in the projects. This place is scum. I fear for my life watching this video. Wow, you're lucky you survived the walk
Amen🙏🏽 💯
BRUCE LEE - JOSHUA FABER - RICKSON GRACIE - JOSHUA FABIA
well said
Made up everything cringy at 6:00. I completely agree. You have to pay respect to the craft and the discipline.
I’m a Rickson blue belt and travel very well when traveling and rolling at other gyms. Rickson till I die mofos! 👊👊
Mr. Sonnen, you were to kind. Kron didn't want to be there, he just needed the money, he wasn't prepared, he has been much better, he smokes to many trees, for his sake I hope he retires, because his drive is gone.
Jus a neighborhood stroll with Chael P
you know you're rich when you leave your dozen outside lights on during the day #lit24/7
I wanna walk around Chael's neighbourhood.
Even in defeat the Gracie Family is Undeafted.
5 star matches in Japan during the new years Holliday ppvs.
🤔
took chael 12 minutes to walk a lap around his house must be nice.
Bruce Lee, Gracie, and Artem
Chael NICE house
Why are there no people where you live?
BJJ for MMA died in the 90s lets not get it twisted. The current rules would never allow somebody like Kron to be a champion again. No premiere org is going to go back to no time limits. BJJ is a self defense art and that is it.
Just simply not true though. Pulling guard was just as dangerous back then.
If this is the case, then why 99,9 % pro mma fighters practice BJJ? The last opponent Kron fought, was Also a BJJ black belt.
@@aleksivirta6093 it is important to know It for sure and more specifically to know how to defend against it. Specializing in it will not work anymore just look at Damian Maia and Kron.

Bad BJJ can still win you a championship in modern MMA.
i need help
Chael is right, And he’s always right, about kron and Rickson and as for your disrespect, you should all be ashamed of yourselves.
Rickson's philosophy is similar to all of the Gracie's philosophy. BJJ has to be for self-defense first, sport is secondary to that. Rickson tested that for himself when he was 21 years old against a very large, muscular, athletic man, who was trying to hurt him severely. Rickson was successful.
Chen WangTing.
I fought cracked out people.
stop walking ! You are on the highway !
Tito tapped
walk about
Nice neighborhood. I bet the maintenance is done by pro landscaping independent contractors.
Okay great‼️
So electric or gas powered❓
Look at Chael with the Ford F-250 nice job
Kron acts more like a whacked out Diaz brother than his father.
Come on now… who’s the blonde. Drop the name
6’2and 175 lbs we had an open mat and I got picked all the time. Never lost.
Huge fan but there’s reasons for me the first 3.5 min are extremely cringy.
The Gracies's are the Amish of the mma world.. Evolve or get left behind
Renzo Gracie was the one that would throw hands. And isn't nick & Nate Diaz students of Cesar Gracie?

You're thinking strangely since you say that pereira and błachowicz is a fight no one cares about. Blachowicz would destroy you in a minute....
Anybody in the ufc would destroy you in less than a minute do you care about every fight the ufc puts on ?
Yes Izzy vs Alex 3 was on the table and the UFC opted to protect pretty boy by forcing Poatan up to 205 to fight a guy (Jan) who was game to go down to 185 to rematch pretty boy. No one asked for Jan vs Alex except the company.
🎉
Gracie’s did an awesome job with Jiu-Jitsu but for the most part sucked at MMA. Kron looked pathetic.
The rounds were a game changer. Old school vale tudo is different from mma. Especially the unified rules with 5 minute rounds.
And come on. Sucked is a strong word.
Ok big guy, hole up right there. It is most certainly possible to choke guys to sleep very gently. And Kron is not Hickson. But I do think it is pretty clear at this point that being on the bottom sucks.

Jesus, you are pushing Zone 2 cardio walking... Dude
Lol! Zone 2 was exactly my thought when I watched this. He's certainly passing the "talk test"
I'm a better person because of Chael.........fulll stop....
