"It's not the size of the fight in the dog, it's the size of the fight in the dog." - Chael P. Sonnen Not even 24 hours into the New Year and Chael already dropping mind blowing content. Undefeated. Undisputed. Never got a quote wrong.
The Noguira's horse got into the Jocko Fuel last night at new years eve ...wore out every philly in the stable and declared itsself ready to win the 2025 triple crown ...true story.
It would be like Joe, from that episode of Family Guy where he gets legs and turns into a douche bag, so the boys try to re-cripple him, and he ends up kicking Quagmire, Cleveland, and Peter's asses, ruthlessly.
After Jordan got beat up by the detroit bad boys, he put on a ton of size. Transformed his body to be able to handle the physicality that the nba was full of in the late 80's. He talks about it in the Last dance doc
Jordan mentioning the importance of strength to place during the playoffs against the Nick's and pistons. Named his trainer, talked about his routine & even talked about his weight increase, getting up to about 214.
Yep, back when it was the big issue in baseball, everyone was always looking at the sluggers like McGwire and Bonds, and they were definitely using, but the bigger issue was with aging pitchers. Once you get on the wrong end of your 30s, recovering and being ready to pitch every 5 days isn't easy. A little synthetic help goes a long way.
Giving up 20 years of your life are words you'll ever hear from anyone over 50. But I forgive Gordon because Everyone says dumb sh!t when you're young and immature.
Agree to an extent but... Gordon is also extremely technical, he doesnt rely on brute force to win matches alone. Strength is important esp in regards to explosive strength to be able to scramble, sweeps etc... I think a part of the reason schools and practitioners focus on technique is so students dont rely on strength or try to muscle positions. because sure that may work on the mat against a classmate but in a match with someone who is strong and has better technique it wont. Strength and technique are crucial for success, but technique takes a long time to hone while strength gains can be made fairly quickly without drilling lifts over and over to perfect form.
@@papabilby8855 No they're not. Even if they were, and you could know for sure you won't get caught, that still wouldn't validate the chickenshit, spineless, self-defeating choice to CHEAT. The rest is yapping.
As for high end athletes talking about the weight room The only one that used to talk about it was Wilt Chamberlain he'd talk about it back in the '60s he used to say his muscles got muscles and you know he was one big mother ever and everybody who played against him said he was easily the strongest man and professional sports..
If BJJ organizations(and Individuals) want to look the other way when it comes to steroid use then people cannot complain when it's not a collegiate or an Olympic sport.
Yes, and that’s why Charles point is flawed. But that being said…if DJ went against someone of equal skill… the stronger athlete would win. But to make it an absolute is BS.
@@mikemck4796and he's wrong. It depends on the size, strength, and skill difference. Skill will overcome some size and strength disadvantage, even in the scenario he describes. If you don't end up 'winning the fight', skill might prevent the situation from being much worse. Also, training doesn't give you skill alone, it also makes you fitter and stronger.
Technique beats Strength when the Strength Gap is close but the weaker has a major Technique Skill Advantage... but at a certain point of Strength Gap, the Strong Man will win every single time.
Peds don't only give you strength. They give you endurance speed and aggression as well. They make a massive difference. Speed Endurance Aggression and Strength. All those matter.
Yes, at the absolute top levels of any sport, when technique was roughly equal, the stronger or better cardio will be the tipping point. But Pedro Sauer probably could have beat Mr. Utah in most fights "on the streets."
This size discussion is exactly why weight cuts should be gotten rid of in ufc. Only reason the Dagestans are worth anything is the extreme weight cuts.
And steroids. They're Russian. Their government makes their athletes juice. It's why they were banned from the Olympic committee, and the athletes now have to compete for different countries.
I would argue Gordon’s approach to jujitsu goes against the original foundation of what made jujitsu so great. The average size man can disable the larger man with technique and skill.
Jordan actually did mention strength training. In his 30 for 30 he talked about getting smacked around by the Pistons and then hitting the weights over the summer to help him be more physical Looks like it worked
Gordon did articulate his argument for PEDS brilliantly. Gordon would submit Mason within 10 min regardless if it was Polaris rules, ADCC rules EBI rules , ibjjf rules, FPI rules and etc.

I mean, its the gold standard as far as high level *competitive jiu-jitsu is concerned. Compete with juiced up bodies or do the same and juice with them. Those are the options as of right now. Youre competing with guys that take steroids regardless
I want to believe what Chael is saying to be true but it doesn’t seem to add up For example as a Powerlifter I’m very confident that I can squat, bench, and deadlift heavier than Ronda Rousey and Joe Rogan I’m confident that I have a strength advantage over them but I’m also confident that if I ever got in a fight with them that they would choke me out or knock me out within 60 seconds
you gotta take some modicum of relativity into the equation man. joe has strength and technique both. you have greater strength but probably zero technique.
Well, what is this about then. Is it about just being mega strong and using whatever substance you need to get there? For that matter, why not just use anything.? There should be two di One, where you can use any PED or substance that you want The other, is highly tested, non-PED non-substance. Different different things. When you need to use something outside of yourself to make yourself, good, it ruins it the glory from many people. But for others, there’s no problem with it. Why not let each get their chance.
He makes sense when he says everyone else does and that they aren't illegal but he totally loses me when he tries to make the case they are better for the sport.
Not gonna lie, I thought this dude made news because he was a really old guy doing well in BJJ tournaments. Then I found out his actual age and was stocked.
Don't usually make it to the last few seconds on a chael video, but glad I did this time, pulled it together in the end. Lol. That is true, any real fight is usually over in literally ten seconds with people pulling it apart, and you'll be considered the winner if you were in a dominant position.
chael, thank you again for not just creating click bait and actually using your platform for more and more mental excercises. this teaches people not to just believe whatever you hear on just jump on bandwagons willy nilly. good stuff, 2 things can be true at the same time also, you cram alot of good thoughts into a short video, big Kudos
Ive seen Mason get subbed by lesser opponents. No one is doing what Gordo has done or is doing. I understand it would be a good match but i don't see anyone that would realistically be able to give Gordo a serious test as well as make the match entertaining. Is anyone at Gordo's level? Give or take peds, no one has a better bjj mindset, or bjj execution. Maybe in another 2-5 years someone will level up enough to contend with Gordo.
2:24 this is exactly why he is correct in saying it is legal in Jiu Jitsu; there's nobody to deem it illegal. He's also the best that has ever done it, so he has all the room in the world to say whatever he wants about the rules of his sport.
@r4vr4c there is no question. He wouldn't. Which is why he resprted to using them. And now he has to hard cope bc he's abused them for so long there's no going back for him. At the very least he'll be on trt the rest of his life, so if they're start enforcing clean competition, He's done.
In general I think well steroid are illegal, except if you do jujitsu. It's not illegal because you won't get caught sounds about right to me. It's like saying speeding is illegal where cops don't exist. It be illegal if there's no cop there to pull you over. I love it
I have never understood the whole usage of roids. It just screams a massive amount of insecurity especially if you are already a good size dude. Now if we talking about sh*t to help you heal.. Then fine but for the legitimate goal of performance enhancement... It simply comes off as insecure and a little bit lack luster as well.
Do you actually want to know why people use them, or do you just want to make assumptions? I can explain why I use them, but I don’t know if you’re wondering in good faith. Honestly, it seems like your mind is already made up and you’re not interesting in hearing the perspective of someone who chooses to use them
Crazy that I’m the same age as Gordon but he looks old enough to be my dad. If he cares about his health he’ll get off that stuff it will cut his life short
I like that it’s allowed in BJJ, everyone hates on Gordon because he’s the most known in the sport but literally %85 + of BJJ competitors use it but hate of Gordon.
@ I’m on TRT myself. It’s not anabolic but they work, they help like they genuinely do good. And I love the fact they are legal in BJJ. If you don’t like it then don’t watch and enjoy the sport you know ? Especially if that person really doesn’t know anything about the real benefits they give a person.

It would be great if jits people would cop to their PED use - as you, devin and jason, are - but most don't. They play the BS "I'm just training hard, guys." Freaking liars. That lie smacks those in the face who get on the mat without PEDs.
Jordan did talk about it when he came back from the first three that he had to get his weight up and his strength back underneath his legs so he worked out hard with weights
I remember when it was barely ok to smoke weed and roll but now they come in smelling like element 616. For those that don't know, element 616 is (pure Chinese-ium) 😂
Uncs last 9 words had me thinking that through the whole vid. “I’ll beat anyone’s ass is more like a billboard of what I want people to think!” Not “Steroids are legal in jiu jitsu!”
Strength absolutely matters in grappling. Whats crazy is hes so freaking good, hed probably be running the table pure, straight up natty. Had the same thoughts re: Jones earning all those pulsing picograms.
After real "shakey" moments during 2024, you start off 2025 with an Epic video, in the same category with the Classic "Worker and the Mark" masterpiece. Yes, Dorothy, Strength does matter. Well done Sir!
@ agreed… I know a lot of older former athletes that use BJJ to stay in shape and have something fun and competitive to do… All the steroids don’t help the sport grow or help the sport have any sort of professionalism or respect…
I’m have trained since 2012 and every guy I know who juices is in terrible health now. They all breakdown. And none of them have won anything significant. Not that that should even matter.
Dude... Really Jordan was famous for putting on weight size and strength. It helped him deal with rhe physical style he went against the Pistons with. His entire story if him and Tim Grover is legendary. And if you think they didnt use gear in the 90s. Ur lying.
Wrestling has always focused on Strength from my Knowledge then Speed & Explosion then Toughness then Stamina then Technique. Jiujitsu tried to circumvent a lot of that because of the Philosophy of the Martial Art. It doesn't deny the Reality. It's trying to promote Technique to overcome it. Many East Asian Martial Arts present this Mindset of overcoming limitations, cyclic and inverse aspects, and Balance and alignment.
If EVERYONE is on the juice then that playing field is equal and we are back to skills. The issue is this idea you need the juice to begin with, which impacts children.
Strength is important, but it's not enough by itself. I've always been 5'6 at 135 lbs and it is easy to beat larger and taller men that have no experience in wrestling. I'm smaller and weaker, but I end up on top despite the strength differences. Now if a dude is 155 lbs has similar skill, but is stronger then me, I'll lose the match. Strength is great, but it's not everything, just ask AJ how much his fluff helped him against Usyk.

It would be great if jits people would cop to their PED use - as you, devin and jason, are - but most don't. They play the BS "I'm just training hard, guys." Freaking liars. That lie smacks those in the face who get on the mat without PEDs.
Gordons nose is anabolically growing and stretchcing to Frank Thomas's all natural nose width, noice
So steroids also creates particular taste -unusual handsomeness (?)
I guess that would be a extra side benefit
Used to listen to this BUT the jocko plug scam every 30 seconds is officially ending it for me.
9:24 always gotta burn LeBron 😂
Dude retired himself before 30. Biologically his age is 50.
Love it Uncle Chael keep em coming!
This is why professional athletes shouldn't be idolized by most people.
They should test. If you wanna be the best, do it natty.
Just start a steroid division in sports.
Jordan did talk about it when he came back from the first three that he had to get his weight up and his strength back underneath his legs so he worked out hard with weights
Happy new year Unc
I remember when it was barely ok to smoke weed and roll but now they come in smelling like element 616. For those that don't know, element 616 is (pure Chinese-ium) 😂
Uncs last 9 words had me thinking that through the whole vid. “I’ll beat anyone’s ass is more like a billboard of what I want people to think!” Not “Steroids are legal in jiu jitsu!”
Another banger vid. So many Chael-isms
It is banned in all pro sports...so if you want BJJ to be a pro sport...
Maturing is realizing that CJI 2 is better than ADCC
Chael P has still never used profanity.
Undefeated and undisputed 💪
Strength absolutely matters in grappling. Whats crazy is hes so freaking good, hed probably be running the table pure, straight up natty. Had the same thoughts re: Jones earning all those pulsing picograms.
Young chael never did steroids. Just performance enhancers
Chael is the mental gymnastics world champion 😂
Then Jon Jones should compete in BJJ. Given he likes to use PED and can't punch anyway
After real "shakey" moments during 2024, you start off 2025 with an Epic video, in the same category with the Classic "Worker and the Mark" masterpiece. Yes, Dorothy, Strength does matter. Well done Sir!
Gordan is a joke 🤷🏻♂️
The mental gymnastics he has to do to validate his cheating is astounding 🤦🏻♂️
Sad example of an “athlete” especially for bjj.
@ agreed…
I know a lot of older former athletes that use BJJ to stay in shape and have something fun and competitive to do…
All the steroids don’t help the sport grow or help the sport have any sort of professionalism or respect…
I’m have trained since 2012 and every guy I know who juices is in terrible health now. They all breakdown. And none of them have won anything significant. Not that that should even matter.
@@Doppps that’s sad…
They are water years off there life for literally nothing 🤦🏻♂️
Everyone's on steroids even in the amateur MMA circuits, dude. Don't kid yourself.
Yoooooooo! I can't believe we got uncle Chael cursing before GTA 6
Ok in all honestly uncle Chael. The. Best. Outro you've ever done 🎤
Dude...
Really Jordan was famous for putting on weight size and strength.
It helped him deal with rhe physical style he went against the Pistons with.
His entire story if him and Tim Grover is legendary.
And if you think they didnt use gear in the 90s. Ur lying.
that stuff comes at cost, stars that burn brighter and hotter burn out faster
Based on what proof or source or you just made it up cause you think that's the truth?
@@wendigo1881 yah its true with health and the fight they gas out quicker
@@spooky_zen but how? Any sources where i can read myself up to date? Cause I was planning to do it myself.
@@spooky_zen Gordon has never been known to gas out so you just made that shit up
Chael Sonnen and Nick Fuentes should collab.
Saying they are legal in jujitsu it's like dude. Steroids are illegal In the United States.
Wrestling has always focused on Strength from my Knowledge then Speed & Explosion then Toughness then Stamina then Technique. Jiujitsu tried to circumvent a lot of that because of the Philosophy of the Martial Art. It doesn't deny the Reality. It's trying to promote Technique to overcome it. Many East Asian Martial Arts present this Mindset of overcoming limitations, cyclic and inverse aspects, and Balance and alignment.
Get your hands on some jocko, first time I’ve listened to the advert 😂.
Chael kicked off the year ending the Bradley Martin debate 😅
If EVERYONE is on the juice then that playing field is equal and we are back to skills. The issue is this idea you need the juice to begin with, which impacts children.
Strength is important, but it's not enough by itself. I've always been 5'6 at 135 lbs and it is easy to beat larger and taller men that have no experience in wrestling. I'm smaller and weaker, but I end up on top despite the strength differences. Now if a dude is 155 lbs has similar skill, but is stronger then me, I'll lose the match. Strength is great, but it's not everything, just ask AJ how much his fluff helped him against Usyk.
