Its not necessarily humility as much as the fighters understand the social dynamics outside of fighting towards other fighters. Mike Tyson doesn't hate Chael because he knows Chael was just talking like a fighter and its not meant to be personal.
This is what Renzo said to him: “I just asked him to behave with the greatness of a champion. Many fighters dream with that opportunity, to fight the best and test themselves in the toughest sport that existed. Be great, be bold, be fair, and above all, be honest. Some will love you, others will hate you, but they will know who you really are. Fight this fight in a way that will be unforgettable to those who had the privilege to watch. I won’t miss a second of this great match.”
“I just told him that if he kept that trash talking he would be taking the greatness of the task that he had ahead of him,” Gracie said. “He is fighting one of the best fighters of our generation, and people would lose the chance to know the real Sonnen, a great athlete who I saw young fighting hard back in the Japan days, building his career as a fierce fighter, a career that ended up turning him into one of the amazing people that populate our great sport.
Chael has 2 types of interviews. The smack talk type and the real type of interview. This is the latter. And Chael is a great fighter BTW...don't take that away from him. He lost to two guys who are on another planet.
This Chael is awesome. Respectful and very likable. I'm not into the whole WWE style nonsense. I'm a Sonnen fan, but wish he would drop the WWE hype trash talk. He can talk straight and speak his mind like the above video. Without causing hysteria.
what the fuck is this the NBA? NFL? Your kid's little league baseball? NO! this is the Ultimate Fighting Championship! Two FIGHTERS should have the right to smack talk with no repercussions. This is real life WWE! This isn't your nearest jiu jitsu dojo. Silva should be the universal symbol for the ridiculous amount of sensitivity the world has. Everyone is so fixated on meaningless words and overlook horrendous actions. Put shit in perspective for once.
Chael is a good man and a great fighter, its true though he always has been like this people just didn't gave him attention untill anderson fight. good luck!
That video is EPIC... He just sat there quiet... You could just sense the threatening undertone in Silva's message... It scared even me watching the video lol...
i was just reflecting on people hating Chael so much for his words but aren't actions much more disrespectful? Silva had a series of disrespectful actions against Damian Maia, the sonnen weigh-in, ufc 148 fight with the blatant greasing, holding shorts etc. yet Chael is hated for his witty and humorous banter?
BroZ, im a hard core chael fan and this chael is the most respectful chael i have ever seen! Even more the the post fight interview ufc117. I wonder what the hell Gracie said?? And why gracie is hitting him up at all? I never read anything in the past about these two?
sonnen got to tell u ... u r great guy, m brazilian and forget all the saying bla bla about brazil ... u r hard worker , great fighter , don't let this defeat let u down , work harder and keep your mind focus ... will come your time man ... keep up the good work
Well said. It's so easy to just jump on the bandwagon of single individual(s) in a sport that's 1v1, but it's ideal to view ea fight on an even playing field. If one of your favorite fighters is getting it done then power to him, however if he's getting his ass handed to him, respect goes to the man earning the win.
Fair enough but them days of constant rematches don't work now that there are more fighters on the roster and more fans. Back then Chuck, Ortiz, Couture and even Shamrock were the biggest stars and they constantly re matched coz there wasn't too many more big stars. Now there is more options for new title fights with more fighters and fans get sick of rematches now. Personally i'm done with Silva vs Chael after 2 clear defeats. I'm excited with Chael at LHW.
As dominant as JJ is and as good a coach Greg Jackson is I wouldn't be surprised if that is all he has been working on since he got the title. Which although it is not too long ago, still is a couple years training. However, even that is a testament to how good JJ is. He is still learning!!! Which means he is going to get better!!! That is a scary thought.
You know what is one of my all time favorite RUclips videos? That video of him sitting in the car with Wanderlei Silva and him (Silva) telling him to cool it on the insults about Brazil. You can feel the connotative threats in Slivas message to Sonnen. And all that tough talk and "I'm from West Lin Oregon" was no where to be found... Sonnen was SILENT. Chael talks a good game and is a good fighter but his mouth gets him into too much trouble sometimes... I bet Renzo threatened him too!
I just asked him to behave with the greatness of a champion. Many fighters dream with that opportunity, to fight the best and test themselves in the toughest sport that existed. Be great, be bold, be fair, and above all, be honest. Some will love you, others will hate you, but they will know who you really are. Fight this fight in a way that will be unforgettable to those who had the privilege to watch. I won’t miss a second of this great match.
You'll only see the true side of Chael with a couple of interviewers. Ariel is lucky enough to be one of those few. You can also see this side with Joe Rogan sometimes, and there was that one segment with Matt Serra
chael has his shorts held for 25 seconds in the clinch while he was shooting for takedowns and still held on to them when they got out of the clinch to help him land a punch which was when the ref had to swat his hand away
chael isnt hated....he just has less fans because he picks fights with the top fighters who have bigger fan bases. how can anyone expect him to fight the proclaimed best fighter ever and not have haters?
1. Didn't look like a lot and didn't seem to make much of a difference, he got the takedown, he got mount, he failed to finish the fight because of Andersons grip. 2. The short grabbing is a tactic which Chael and the majority of grapplers have used to frustrate limit their opponents movement, Chael understands fighting dirty, you fight dirty with a dirty fighter. 3. The knee was not illegal because it was aimed at the chest, regardless of if a part of his leg hit his face. Check the replay.
this is he said I just told him that if he kept that trash talking he would be taking the greatness of the task that he had ahead of him,” Gracie said. “He is fighting one of the best fighters of our generation, and people would lose the chance to know the real Sonnen, a great athlete who I saw young fighting hard back in the Japan days, building his career as a fierce fighter, a career that ended up turning him into one of the amazing people that populate our great sport.
I agree, it's done. He won twice. Chael had his chances in both fights, and he spoiled them and that is exactly how a third would go. Anderson is the greatest MMA fighter of all time, Chael has nothing to be ashamed of, he's a great fighter too.
Gorgeous Execution mate, don't get me wrong, Chael comes across as a proper stand up guy but being a decent person doesn't automatically mean you'd be any good in politics.
Its a two way road, Jon Jones himself said he has no intention on fighting Anderson his idol. And Weidman is in no way ready to face Silva in my oppinion. As for GSP they both need to agree on it but that wont be happening anytime soon seeing as he is injured and when he does get back he will have to fight Condit
fuck whatever people say about Sonnen. He is a great fighter despite his losses and fun to listen to. If you have listened to the Joe Rogan podcast you will realize that he is actually a good guy and pretty intelligent. He puts on a show because that is what is required for most casual fans, but he is not a terrible human being.
look silva is pure talent and is the most gifted fighter in mma's history, while gsp is a product of great training and discipline and constant learning and self improvement. And they are both phenomenal fighters but I will give AS the advantage over GSP just because he is more talented and does what nobody else can do, probably if Bruce Lee had fought in the UFC it would be a differnt story
ive watched that entire fight literally at least 15 times its one of my top 5 fav fights ever, i am being dead serious right now, go watch the fight on mmaversus or mma-core, and count how many punches forrest threw and missed cause anderson dodged them...
Any top 10 MW has a chance. That's the beauty of the sport. It also makes Anderson's reign more impressive. Saying nobody has a chance against him makes it sound like he fought cans, which isn't impressive at all.
As these days unfold I'm starting to see a side of Chael I've never seen. I'm actually kinda starting to feel sad for him. RIP Chael Sonnen 07/07/2012. :'(
Well ironically, Renzo didn't call Chael to cuss him out. He says this on a phone interview with Ariel. He called Chael to let him know that he's a tough and great fighter, but he needs to focus on training (hence Silva said this as well) rather than talking smack. He told him to keep his eyes on the prize and if he really puts the effort and motivation, that he's confident that Chael would get the belt. He also mentions his thoughts after the fight and how disappointed he was in Chael.
because he did beat the man who was supposed to fight with Chael for the challenger spot and beat him very convincingly. + he has fought in welterweight and light hw divisions. though a good performance Weidman needs another good win to actually be considered.
Dont fuck w brasil or you fuck with the gracies. Renzo is the man for tellin him how it is. I like chael but it was dumb and wrong of him to go after a whole country especially one as beautiful as brasil like that. #teamrenzogracie
Rude bwoy dude.... It was to sell the fight and the TUF season as a whole. It was brilliant. Anyone with a brain knew it was entirely to create faux drama to sell the fight. It was genius and it worked
I believe if they meet again Chael has a great chance of winning, he destroyed sylva in the last fight, he just got careless, sylva did win in the end but he lost 90 % of the rest of the fight, it for sure looked like he could not handle Chael. a rematch would be a big seller I think even if Cheal lost those two fights, Jones would also be a good fight for sylva.
chuck vs ortiz, shamrock vs ortiz. if chael keeps up the hype they will fight again, i honestly think chael has the best chance to dethrone silva at the minute because he is a bad match up for anderson, anderson however is an absolute legend and dominating champion, i think the intrest is there as silva fans want to see him shut up chael for good and the chael fans want to see him lift the title. just my opinion i have massive respect for all fighters.
agree with you completely. except for the fact okami didn't beat silva either, shitty disqualification for a illegal upkick when silva hadn't understood the rules properly. didn't even catch okami that bad, chose the cowardly way to win by choosing the disqualification rather than carrying on
I misunderstood, thought you meant Fedor stood with K1 elite which he only did with Cro cop. Coleman was really overrated. Barnett was still considered a UFC champ failing a drug test. Do you not know why Pride folded? There certainly were some fixed fights. Off the top of my head a clear one was Cro Cop against that masked Japanese wrestler. Gary Goodridge said in his book there were plenty of fixed fights, he was offered a few times himself to take a fall.
if you lost on your best performance to someone who was having their worst day ..and u do a rematch and get TKO'd its only fair u take ur loss and stay quiet ..so idk what u mean by taking his loss like a champ..what else can he do ?
If you look at it in every area Jones has the adv. Standing: Jones with his striking and reach. Wrestling: Jones. Though Chael is an Olympic alternate, Jones Greco Roman wrestling is the style best suited toward the UFC. Also, Jones size will pose a problem for Chael. On the ground: Jones. He is just so devasting on the ground. Chael has never fought a fighter like Jon. It might be closer than everyone likes to think. But I think Jones has his number now that he knows Chaels fighting style.
I respect Chael for respecting his trash talking boundaries - you can only get so far without humility
Its not necessarily humility as much as the fighters understand the social dynamics outside of fighting towards other fighters.
Mike Tyson doesn't hate Chael because he knows Chael was just talking like a fighter and its not meant to be personal.
Ariel looks like this was filmed yesterday. Exact same look and cadence 6 years ago as he does today.
Man - his voice is so different when he's weight cutting.
I'd give credit to the TRT raging through his body that was legal at the time.
Kelvin, I agree. Gerbman, I think TRT would make the voice deeper not higher as it is now
Chael sonne's voice has changed tremendously throughout the years. idk why
Even Chael has respect for the Gracie's
yea or fear them

@@fuckamerica109 Its respect for the people that paved the way for you with sweat and blood.
Nothing a fighter respects more.
@@andrevolky3164My eyes melted reading this 💩.
When Ariel brings up Mike Tyson, Chael looks down at his feet like a little kid like 'Oh man...' and then realises it's good news.
Argue if you want, but Renzo is the greatest Gracie. He would fight anybody, never demanded special rules, and was a complete fighter.
78bcat what about rickson?
Totally. Rickson and Renzo are the two best complete fighters in the Gracie family.
Rickson is the ultimate Gracie, innovator, sensei, badass, you new fans should do some research, Rickson had a vision and now we have UFC
Rickson then renzo
Roger has a good argument for it
This is what Renzo said to him:
“I just asked him to behave with the greatness of a champion. Many fighters dream with that opportunity, to fight the best and test themselves in the toughest sport that existed. Be great, be bold, be fair, and above all, be honest. Some will love you, others will hate you, but they will know who you really are. Fight this fight in a way that will be unforgettable to those who had the privilege to watch. I won’t miss a second of this great match.”
I love how laid back you are and he's just having an argument with himself, brilliant.
“I just told him that if he kept that trash talking he would be taking the greatness of the task that he had ahead of him,” Gracie said. “He is fighting one of the best fighters of our generation, and people would lose the chance to know the real Sonnen, a great athlete who I saw young fighting hard back in the Japan days, building his career as a fierce fighter, a career that ended up turning him into one of the amazing people that populate our great sport.
ive never seen such an awesome interview by sonnen. this is when you actually start thinking that behind the scenes, hes a cool guy.
Chael has 2 types of interviews. The smack talk type and the real type of interview. This is the latter. And Chael is a great fighter BTW...don't take that away from him. He lost to two guys who are on another planet.
Last time i checked he is still undisputed and undefeated.
@@ookie4179 Casuals assume he lost, they don't know he never lost a round
This guy comes here drops a bomb like he's debunking something..😂 Mate its 8 years after! Get a life..
How can ppl not like this guy, Chael Sonnen
I love this Chael. Not the BS talking one. This is the real one that I wish we got to know more of.
This Chael is awesome. Respectful and very likable. I'm not into the whole WWE style nonsense. I'm a Sonnen fan, but wish he would drop the WWE hype trash talk. He can talk straight and speak his mind like the above video. Without causing hysteria.
Chael Sonnen in rare form here.... he's being nice.
We need more men like you! I seriously really appreciate that attitude brother. Everyone has become incredibly hyper-sensitive.
i have nothing but respect for chael ,, wish him the best
i love chael he lives with out fear of what people think of him but values others advice
Great work Ariel, as always.
he's one of a kind , he won me after ufc post 117 press conference , class act !
Well said man. Appreciate you keepin it real.
what the fuck is this the NBA? NFL? Your kid's little league baseball? NO! this is the Ultimate Fighting Championship! Two FIGHTERS should have the right to smack talk with no repercussions. This is real life WWE! This isn't your nearest jiu jitsu dojo. Silva should be the universal symbol for the ridiculous amount of sensitivity the world has.

Kudos to you buddy for being smart enough to know what Sonnen is doing.
2:14 sonnen's heart melted.
I love the way Ariel always introduces Chael as Chael P Sonnen haha
I LOVE SONNEN, LOVE ENGLAND.
I can't help but be a huge fan of this guy
Kudos to Sonnen for being gracious and having respect for Renzo Gracie.
amen! very well put!
Chael is hilarious, this shows him being real. Renzo said some great things to him- he listened.
It truly is banter.
Chael is a good man and a great fighter, its true though he always has been like this people just didn't gave him attention untill anderson fight. good luck!
Pre-"Star of Death" Lee Syatt in the background xD
can someone tell me whhy renzo called him? what did he say or do?
That video is EPIC... He just sat there quiet... You could just sense the threatening undertone in Silva's message... It scared even me watching the video lol...

good for him and may the best figther WIN!

Hey Ariel lets see an interview with Tito lol
Chael Sonnen is the man but im huge fan of both Anderson and the American Gangster Chael Sonnen good luck to both men on Saturday
You'll only see the true side of Chael with a couple of interviewers. Ariel is lucky enough to be one of those few. You can also see this side with Joe Rogan sometimes, and there was that one segment with Matt Serra
true, but thoughts on silva vs gsp? I'd have it 2-1 or 3-1 odds favoring Silva. But we both know GSP's no slouch and could pull out a W.
chael has his shorts held for 25 seconds in the clinch while he was shooting for takedowns and still held on to them when they got out of the clinch to help him land a punch which was when the ref had to swat his hand away
chael isnt hated....he just has less fans because he picks fights with the top fighters who have bigger fan bases. how can anyone expect him to fight the proclaimed best fighter ever and not have haters?
Sonnen is pure class.
What a great guy
When you're the best they don't call you great they call you chael sonnen!
Chael P has respect for Renzo, Renzo did so much in his life time without any computers.
1. Didn't look like a lot and didn't seem to make much of a difference, he got the takedown, he got mount, he failed to finish the fight because of Andersons grip.
2. The short grabbing is a tactic which Chael and the majority of grapplers have used to frustrate limit their opponents movement, Chael understands fighting dirty, you fight dirty with a dirty fighter.
3. The knee was not illegal because it was aimed at the chest, regardless of if a part of his leg hit his face. Check the replay.
I like Chael, he really knows how to hype a fight.
this is he said
I just told him that if he kept that trash talking he would be taking the greatness of the task that he had ahead of him,” Gracie said. “He is fighting one of the best fighters of our generation, and people would lose the chance to know the real Sonnen, a great athlete who I saw young fighting hard back in the Japan days, building his career as a fierce fighter, a career that ended up turning him into one of the amazing people that populate our great sport.

who's the freak who keeps popping up in the background like a meerkat?!! DOUCHE
YES THANK YOU!
Chael Sonnen is always sure of himself. and he gives the best interviews. he should run for public office. he would get my vote. =)
Gorgeous Execution mate, don't get me wrong, Chael comes across as a proper stand up guy but being a decent person doesn't automatically mean you'd be any good in politics.
Oh no doubt about it he is a beast in the octagon... However, he is in for a beating come April 27th (I believe is the date of his bout with Jones).
Its a two way road, Jon Jones himself said he has no intention on fighting Anderson his idol. And Weidman is in no way ready to face Silva in my oppinion. As for GSP they both need to agree on it but that wont be happening anytime soon seeing as he is injured and when he does get back he will have to fight Condit
Chael is a nice guy. Just speaks his mind.
Undefeated and Undisputed

I can't wait till Saturday when we get a new middleweight champion. Go Chael!
Any top 10 MW has a chance. That's the beauty of the sport. It also makes Anderson's reign more impressive. Saying nobody has a chance against him makes it sound like he fought cans, which isn't impressive at all.
i noticed ariel's talking calmly and chael's shouting
This video encapsulates perfectly why the UFC needs a new MW champion.

This is the kind of Chael I'd like to see as Champion.
What a nice guy 👍
i love Chael
Yeah that is a little scary but Mike Dolce said it's under control and he's managed weight for lots of guys. Hoping he is right.
He has quoted multiple WWE speeches word for word.
Chael for President !!!!!!!!!
If you look at it in every area Jones has the adv. Standing: Jones with his striking and reach. Wrestling: Jones. Though Chael is an Olympic alternate, Jones Greco Roman wrestling is the style best suited toward the UFC. Also, Jones size will pose a problem for Chael. On the ground: Jones. He is just so devasting on the ground. Chael has never fought a fighter like Jon. It might be closer than everyone likes to think. But I think Jones has his number now that he knows Chaels fighting style.
unless anderson retires or leaves the division....then the middleweight championship would actually be a challenging fight for both fighters.
