There is no way Fedor is just as explosive as he was in his prime. Sadly this is an aged Fedor we are watching now. I feel extremely lucky to have watched his prime years career as it happened. He is the Goat!
On serious note... Fedor used to be an amazing submission artist, look his record up - back when he was on a roll he was submitting guys left and right, and now he relies only on his hands even though his chin is GONE. Sad to see favourite fighters deteriorate not only in physical department but in technical arsenal as well.
@@xmikex902x u must forget that he made it to the final of a grand prix lol do u know what ur talking about he knocked out everyone in bellator but to his loss lol
Hunter Hall he’s 2-2 in his last 4, 43 years old, and has looked like a slug out there. It’s clear to anyone with a brain that he is a shell of himself.
Fedor is definitely past his prime. Even when he fought Brett Rogers I believe he was past his prime. Just because your winning, doesn't mean you are not past your prime lol.
Petition to make this outro a full song "Hes been running the streets for years And he is still here And so is fear Undisputed never lost a round Bodies hit the ground When the bad guy comes to town"
Fedor's boxing defense will be the deciding factor. Can Fedor get his guard up in time to block the inevitable counter hook that will be coming for his dome.
Next: Stipe vs fedor Fedor vs crocop 2 Fedor vs silva Fedor vs mitrione rematch (cuz he disrespected the goat) Fedor vs werdum 2? Old Fedor vs prime fedor
Damn good point chael! I never realized how good Rampage chin is and I've been watching him my whole life. You made me think for a second off the top of my head I can't think of a time he's been knocked down besides the Wanderlei Silva fight. Good analysis brother!!!
Glover Texteira hurt him I believe and Wandy actually did it twice.He was hurt a few other times but nothing that’s coming too mind as I write.I have noticed myself that his chin has held up though.
You're wrong, Chael. His team was quoted shortly before or after the Mark Hunt fight saying Fedor has become slower. He was already past his prime in late 2006. His reflexes and punches have clearly become slower. This happens with age. Fedor has also been quoted saying he stopped lifting heavy. Ultra-sharp reflexes and fast, powerful punches were the glue that kept Prime Fedor's skill set together. He's still an extremely strong grappler, but his stand-up is completely shot. And it's not just because his chin is gone
Actually Fedor weighed in at 223 against Dan Henderson, and, still had fat. He was 229 against Tim Sylvia. 230 against Arlowski. 232 against Brett Rogers. He's been coming in at 236- 240 since his comeback.
Oh Uncle Chael, you're usually on point with your assessments but you're so wrong about Fedor: 1. SKILLS: Now Fedor only "boxes" (brawls, to be honest). That is it. No Wrestling, No Judo, No G&P., no submissions. 2. WEIGHT: Fedor used to weigh at 235/6 in his prime. But a solid 235. Muscles not fat like now. 3. EXPLOSIVENESS: It's not there anymore; his opponents read everything he's doing before it happens. 4. PRIME: Fedor is clearly, clearly past his prime. At least 10 years past. There is consensus about this judging on his body, skills, fights outcomes, and above, his ability to take damage. Fedor has become a one dimensional brawler, unfortunately...
This is one of those few MMA "old guy" fights that I would love to see. Unlike Ortiz vs Liddell both guys are active competitors who are still fighting at a pretty high level for their age. My only criticism is that I wished this fight happened a decade ago when both guys were in their prime
15 minutes after upload and averaging over 50 likes and 1 dislike every 5 mins. BTW, since you asked the other time Rampage was knocked down and KO/TKO'd was against Shogun Rua via knee's and soccer kick to the head.
I appreciate everything Chael has accomplished, he's worked hard and kicked ass. But both Fedor and Alexander were something new, stone cold vicious. You can see it in their eyes, and in the ring.
I can't imagine how rampages body feels. He has to feel decimated. I want Rampage to win, but if Fedor wins, we still all win. I must say, rampage seems huge.
Rampage’s boxing offense and defense is I think an even bigger problem than his and Fedor’s respective chins. Fedor is always an ace of spades though; even though it’s hard to watch him nowadays I still don’t count him out. He really can still do anything and he has the power to put Rampage out.
Rampage weighing in at 265 is not an advantage in this fight.It may severely affect his cardio which I have a feeling it will.Fedor is smart weighing in at 240!
Man im so excited for this fight! I hope Rampage wins and Fedor retires. It would be a fitting end for Fedor to retire in Japan after all those years in PRIDE
Only thing I would also say is fedor is likely less confident and his opponents are more confident. That and his chin is a lot weaker, but his skills and speed/power all look very good
Fedor is the GOAT wether casuals want to admit it or not.
What about chael????
@@kekehilo1169 fedor is the goat and its uncle chael 😜
They're fighting to determine who's the greatest fighter to lose to Uncle Chael
Don't forget Chael defeated Jon Jones and Anderson Silva

Agreed. The handspeed is there but he doesn't have as much strength or durability.
Chris Gammel Fedor at his prime nobody could beat him not even 1 ufc fighter could tie his shoes.
He looked fast and explosive
I remember when Fedor was dreaming about reaching out and touching the largest arms in West Lynn.
Instead he caught his chin 🤣
M which is why fedor retired, his hand shattered into a million pieces.

3:45 Shogun completely dismantled Rampage
Rampage hurt a rib he didn't get dropped from taking one on the chin.
On Christmas we were on vacation, Chael gave us the joy of his analysis. I came back to 15 episodes
2019 watching fedor is a blessing thank you bellator and rampage
Yikes. No...it’s depressing as hell. Did you like Chuck vs. Tito 3 as well?

Hunter Hall a blessing ? It’s a shame to see fedor still having to go through this at his age
@@arthurmorgan7086 what u gotta say now all his bellator wins first round kos
I watched this after I watched the fight. You are so spot on with your information. Chael is the best guy in the business.
Fedor is definitely past his prime. Even when he fought Brett Rogers I believe he was past his prime. Just because your winning, doesn't mean you are not past your prime lol.
They're both obviously a decade past their primes, that doesn't mean it won't be a fun fight to watch
Fedor is my favorite. I believe he is the GOAT. But I was responding to Chael taking about him still being in his prime.
Petition to make this outro a full song
"Hes been running the streets for years
And he is still here
And so is fear
Undisputed never lost a round
Bodies hit the ground
When the bad guy comes to town"
It was the best one
And the one with tito tapped, fedor quit
@@zvonimirmijatovic628 "...Jon Jones broke a toe and had to sit."

Nice haha 👌👌👌
I see our lord Chael has been continuing his morning work out regimen of head butting 100 male rams into submission before 6 am.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤦♂️
🐏🐏🐏🐏🐐🐐🐐🐐
I’m pretty sure that he’s just butting a hundred males every morning before 6am. But who really cares, he sure looks great imo..whatever he’s doing.
“It’s Saturday”
Chael- “you know I see this thing different, it’s the day after Friday”
Fedor's boxing defense will be the deciding factor. Can Fedor get his guard up in time to block the inevitable counter hook that will be coming for his dome.
for 15 minutes? almost seems too inevitable rampage gets him
@@Axl702 the problem is rampage cant hold that gas for 3 rounds. Hes got 1 and a half tops.
What rampage needs to do: perfect the Chael somersault move.
What Rampage really needs to do tho: fucking retire.
Rampage isn't really a rampage anymore is he ...more like a couch potatoe
Chael: “I have a great memory.”
Rampage: “ I plan on retiring at the age of 35.”
Also Chael: “ Rampage has never even spoken about retirement!”
What is chael gonna offer me this time
I've been wondering that same thing for a meaningful period of time.... 🤷🏻♂️🤔
Ok great, But where does Keven Lee fit into this?
This
GUYS LOOK
Trying to sell you that Fedor is not really past his prime ... cough Bellator Marketing cough
Uncle Chael finally got a custom-made shirt that doesn’t constrict his massive biceps.
Your account is gold
No such shirt exists
gay
Is that HardWood in the background from different countries?
Always wondered...
Lol, 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
Sorry Chael, but Fat "I'm just here to collect a check" Rampage is nowhere near the same Rampage we all used to know and love.
PsyintZ agree 265..no way extra 60 lbs.been a fan since King of the Cage..Rampage didn't want to fight and he didnt
That fight last night was just plain embarrassing.
StrangeGarbage agree but not for Rampage oddly.Rampage should have fought Big Country at 225
PsyintZ Quitting Rampage Jackson why????
PsyintZ his movement was ridiculously slow
Fedor 240.5 lbs
Rampage 265 Ibs
Next:
Stipe vs fedor
Fedor vs crocop 2
Fedor vs silva
Fedor vs mitrione rematch (cuz he disrespected the goat)
Fedor vs werdum 2?
Old Fedor vs prime fedor

I do... When Shogun soccer kicked his head into the 3rd row.

@@occiferfigpucker4840 that's not a knock down Rampage had already went down because he had run out of gas...
I've been a rampage fan for years and I just found out he's left handed both his hands were so good I never noticed in the way he fights
Thanks for the videos Chael and Co, love the insight and consistent content!
It was nice to hear you talk good about RAMPAGE.
I'm a huge MMA fan since 2004 and I believe that this one is a very special fight.
Best mma channel, period. Thank you Chael

Hey Uncle Chael- checking back often for your take on the actual fight. Sure you won’t disappoint, unlike the fight.
It's like a Epic Battle of 2 Generals finally meeting on the Battlefield.
Fedor's reaction times are nowhere near what they used to be, but most of what you say is on point.
Uncle Chael, Rampage Jackson got knocked down 5 seconds into the first round of the Evans fight.
Brian Velasquez sure did
Is this audio too compressed or is it just me?
justinfuzzyhat yes
Uncle Chael looking like a legit gangster again
Not even once.
I pity the people betting on Rampage to win tonight.✔
Idk if rampage should be allowed to fight , wont be good for the child in his belly
qwerty asdfg lolol
“Not my comment” lolol
Rampage has the right to choose, you bigot. It is his body. The fetus within him has no rights.
@Ocasio-Cortez4prez2022 hahaha
Twins in there
Just cut the tip of my thumb off. Ohh Chael uploaded a new video! Watch on the way to hospital.
tony to rampage after the fight: "Where's your chin at?"
Still shocks me that Fedor managed to survive and continue to compete after how Chael butchered him.
Lol is that sarcasm?

No he destroyed him! Uncle Chael is undefeated

Fedor has become a one dimensional brawler, unfortunately...
Please do a follow up after that embarrassing loss
The only problem with this fight is it’s twenty years too late
Just came from the fight...
UNCLE CHAEL, WE NEED YOU!
Sounds like we’re in for a repeat of Leroy green vs sho nuff.
When Chael was saying chin with a very fat ch,i laughed out loud.
Fedor & Rampage are my two favourite fighters ever!!!
2 absolute beasts!!!
This is one of those few MMA "old guy" fights that I would love to see. Unlike Ortiz vs Liddell both guys are active competitors who are still fighting at a pretty high level for their age. My only criticism is that I wished this fight happened a decade ago when both guys were in their prime
chael saying Fedor is not out of his prime but has had better days lol that's exactly what that means gotta love the undefeated undisputed
I was waiting for the Bad Guy to weigh in on this one. Chael offers us this
Never lost not even a round!
Undefeated, Undisputed..
I hate to see either one lose. I got to root for both of them.
Chael is the goat
That fight was anything but interesting, but we love yiu antwag unle chael!
Hey Chael, can you do a commentary on one of my favorites Tim Silvia.
Lmfao
True
Hit the nail on the head
But also add there is 10k hours on his fights also and people have been training to beat the best for years
It's crazy to think about the fact that I too, have never considered retirement for Rampage.
I think this is going to be a good fight
@Sub or you are against Trump in 2020 guess you were right lol
Rampage weighed 265, Fedor 240
Gday luv
It's exciting .Think Fedor has a 3 fight deal
Rampage said years ago he wanted to retire at 35 at a post fight sitting next to Frank Mir
Uncle Chael was 15 years old when the 1992 Los Angeles riots happened. And he was already the Bad Guy!
Reginald Denny had different feelings regarding that sentiment.
@BULL SCHEIST hey dipshit you watch your damn mouth!.... Uncle Chael doesn't take steroids, steroids take him
Rampage looked like a legend of the All you can eat Buffett
Past their Prime.
Let's get it on!!!
wait till you see the Rizin new years day ppv.
I am looking forward to this battle .... does anyone know if it’s in a cage? Or ring?
cage
This is the first time ive seen the bad guy army comments go against chael.
This is such a great fight
I saw someone say they think rampage should retire years ago

A fight that does not need to happen. Who comes up with these fights for bellator?
Rampage went rampage on some burgers.
Rampage was 75 percent prepared for this fight Fedor came out ready to rumble.
Man im so excited for this fight! I hope Rampage wins and Fedor retires. It would be a fitting end for Fedor to retire in Japan after all those years in PRIDE
Chael is a psychic.
The only reason Chael is saying Fedor is still in his prime is because he lost to him and he doesn’t want to say he lost to a washed up Fedor.
Lost?
You must be confused son
Whoever allowed Rampage to fight needs to be fired
This entertained me greatly 😄😄
Fedor will never change what he does. He just needs to land before Rampage does.
Only thing I would also say is fedor is likely less confident and his opponents are more confident. That and his chin is a lot weaker, but his skills and speed/power all look very good
Fedor looked fast and powerful af
“ANDERSON SILVA.... YOU SUCK” 😂😂😂😂
Aaaaaa... fight already happened, where do you guys live?
For some reason every Chael video, I immediately hit like whether I watch the whole thing or not. (I also listen to audio) 😂
i thought he was gonna say "my fedor story is real simple: he kicked my ass"
i can't let you get close
Well that fight actually surprised me
You give rampage some pointers on how to throw a fight?
True MMA Legends 💯💯
Prime is not just about weight its about aging and body wear and tear.
Rampage would destroy Jon Jones in a street fight. 265 lbs, Jon definitely wouldn’t rematch him in heavyweight.
Can you imagine the PPV sales? 😀😀😀
