UFC would pull such big numbers if they used The Bad Guy more in these pieces they produce. I wonder how Anik and Cormier felt being so close to greatness. Undefeated. Undisputed
Chael touching on it their really made me think about Usman and how respectful and humble he is to the game people may call him cringe but in defeat against Leon I’ve seen many fights in MMA and Boxing that is THE BEST response I have seen from a fighter for losing the respect he showed to Leon afterwards was admirable and really won me over he really was just enjoying the lifestyle of being champion and Leon was just trying to sell a fight in the build up and then taking that fight on 8 days notice I think it was in a weight class he’s never fought in coming of the back of two straight losses and almost winning and still being extremely humble in defeat brother as a Brit who was screaming in joy and tears when Leon kicked him in the head he really has won me over

See that's what I don't get The UFC being so good at this type of thing they'd definitely notice it too? Maybe he's "problematic" (the hotel incident,his steroids,his foray into politics 😂) I genuinely think that's the reason they only give him a short leash...he'd go full nutso mode if they didn't 😂 he always told us he was the bad guy and I don't think he was lying! And don't get it twisted I find him hilarious at times. Edit--Plus "Hazmat" and all the names he fcuks up he said it about 6 times here alone😂)
This is basically a Suga show with some UFC highlights in between. I get the UFC is pushing him but Strickland literally had one of the upsets of the year against one of the greatest MW of all time and gets a 2 second shout out, you know who’s brand friendly.
why did it say in the timeline of Sean O'Malley that he beat Yan by unanimous decision??? It was a split decision and I think that 90% of people watching gave it to Yan
I m french and i would like to know if suga is as much a superstar that he claims for. The PPV buys were not that good as expected against Aljo, right ? Why
Im a grown man on trt so no lack of test and i was on the edge of tears this whole video!!!!just wow ufc..just wow cheal ,dc,and jon,just wow espn.thanku
Uncle Chael is the only commentator that announces all UFC fighters names correctly with no mistakes at all, Just recently Alex Pereira came out saying that he himself along with everyone else has been saying his name totally wrong and the only person that always says his name correctly is Uncle Chael..."Alex PEEEAIR"....Uncle Chael undefeated and the best UFC fighter ever....Never loss a fight or even a round and as Uncle Chael said if he really wanted to can return back today and become a 3+ division champ but because he is so humble he wants to give other average UFC fighters a chance to shine and rather sit on the sidelines and be a commentator. A true gentleman...The great Uncle Chael...😅😅😅😅
Solid work fellas but D’Sean Strickland is 100% Fighter of the Year. 3 wins. Beat the arguable GOAT of the division in an absolute shutout as a MASSIVE underdog. Islam beat a smaller guy twice, the second time on short notice (Volk looked out of shape), Pereira had a great year but lets not forget HE GOT KNOCKED OUT BY THE GUY STRICKLAND DESTROYED. And Pantoja had a great year as well. But make no mistake, it’s Strickland.
My picks 🏌 1. knockout of the year is Adesanya 🇳🇬 2. My rising star is Shavkat 🇰🇿 3. My fight of the year is Moreno vs Pantoja 3 4. My shocking moment is Strickland 🇺🇲 5. My Fighter of the Year is Makhachev 🇷🇺 6. My best Woman fighter of the year is Grasso 🇲🇽 7. I think UFC 300 gonna be!!! Grasso 🇲🇽 vs 🇰🇬 Shevshenko 3 Edwards 🏴 vs 🇰🇼 Muhamed 2 Periera 🇧🇷 vs 🇷🇺 Ankalaev 8. My wishing list fights is!!!! Shavkat 🇰🇿 vs 🇷🇺 Makhachev Cannonier 🇺🇲 vs 🇳🇬 Usman O'Malley 🇺🇲 vs 🇪🇸 Topuria Jones 🇺🇲 vs 🏴 Aspinall
These 3 should be our ufc judges, 2 retired fighters and a commentator/one of the best analysts. Would be better than the bs judges that think paddy beat Jared Gordon
Daniel mentions Alexa beating Valentina twice. That's not correct, the second one was a draw and she kept the belt because that's the procedure for champions in the UFC.
44:44 hmmmmm🤔 first fight chael said wants made 204 was active champ Aspinall against undisputed champ Jones - yet one second later visual comes up and they instead wrote Jones Miocic
In many cases the "interim" champion is the real champ. In this case Aspinall is the real champion, cause he's the active champ, and the guy that just beat the scariest title contender in at least the last decade in the highest-profile fight in the heavyweight division since Dos Santos vs Velasquez 3, cause it was the 2 best and most devastating heavyweights in their prime (Pavlovich and Aspinall in this case); Dos Santos and Cain had the most knockouts in the heavyweight division among other stats that prove my point, and they were in their absolute prime then; now Tom and Sergei represent the same thing but in this last era
I predict Jon will come back and beat up Stipe's ghost, and say there's just no more real challenges in the sport for me so I am declaring myself The Greatest MMA Fighter of All Time, and retiring. Ngannou vs Aspinall would be FIRE!
That's how the sport works. If you cannot finish your opponent, the professional judges hired by the Athletic Commission decide the winner, and it is 'the Official Real Result" whether children agree with it, accept it, or not. "False outcome" isn't a thing in combat sports.....you'll want to exchange that with "decision I disagree with" or "Really close fight but the guy I like lost, so that sucks but oh well." Hope this helps!
Never ever in my life did I think that rigging in sports is possible. Im 45 now, but Im in disbelief that the guy awakenbeerus posted it all weeks before it even started. Screw this.
How was Izzy #1 but Strickland wasn't even mentioned in that list. Him dominating Izzy for 5 rounds was truly remarkable, I still can't believe it went that way. So so many exciting moments this year, idk how you can do a show with out it taking like 20hrs. So many things they just can't cover them all. Good job tho guys. You all did pretty good!!
I was talking about the first 10 highlights they mentioned. They put Izzy at #1 but Sean wasn't even mentioned yet. They did talk about him later in the episode.
@Thug_Nose It wasn't a knockout list. It was a most shocking moments list. Or I wouldn't have said anything about Strickland. It ended up being all knockouts but that's beside the point.
2023 could go down I. History as one of the best UFC years!?!?! Who knows?? Jon Jones finally came back and then won heavyweight championship and then SUGA Sean & Strickland won there titles.. plus a lot more, that’s just what’s fresh on my mind
Ive heard they rig all of this; I did not believe it, but after that guy Beerus appeared on national TV and called those scores, Im starting to believe there is something more to all of this.
UFC would pull such big numbers if they used The Bad Guy more in these pieces they produce.
I wonder how Anik and Cormier felt being so close to greatness. Undefeated. Undisputed
I'm watching this video in this exact moment precisely because of Uncle Chael
Your FUNNY bro
Chael has never experienced a loss in his career. I don’t even think he knows what the word “lose” means
@@andimari9194 you sure love running a joke into a grave
@@andimari9194 true. Only Jon Jones was close, and even he lost a toe.
Was very nice of Chael to have DC and Anik on here.

Couldn’t agree more

imagine we had a real bantamweight champion and not some mime coward avoiding the real toughest match ups. O'malley the bench warmer , yawn boring....
Putting Chael on the cover is genius by the UFC. Everybody wants to see the GOAT in his element
West Lynn Oregon proud of this one.
They should work with chael more. One of the best commentators going
Undefeated n undisputed, truly a gangster from the mean streets of West Linn
Absolutely the best voice in the game period and I am a DC guy but uncle Chael with Dominic would be special
@@reygordoDominic Cruz is insufferable
Never lost a round
See that's what I don't get The UFC being so good at this type of thing they'd definitely notice it too?

And don't get it twisted I find him hilarious at times.
Edit--Plus "Hazmat" and all the names he fcuks up he said it about 6 times here alone😂)
Strickland becoming champion still gotta be best and shocking moment of the year
Agree !
Great year for MMA, here's hoping 2024 is even better
Chael is the best commentator in the game …. Ufc you need him on tv more
Chael was a nice touch! Everyone loves a bad guy! 🤟
Chael getting all the names wrong is hilarious.
Him calling Alex Pereira "Pierre" will never stop cracking me up.
Homzot Chimav
@@Thug_Nosebruh. 🤣
Hhhhhh noo he calls him Hazmaatt hhhhh hilarious
Chael is best at getting his point across, surely Dana can see how great he would be as a commentator for live events not just an analyst!!
What does getting your point across have to do with commentating a fight
And the award for dumbest reply on RUclips in 2024 goes to @@marcelotapia3970
Surely Dana can see how he pronounces most foreign names wrong
Love when they do recaps like this and Jon Anik always the perfect host for it.
Chael needs to be way more involved. He’s the best commentator in the ufc
Please no he talks way to much
@@hagakure74 makel chef is the funniest one 🤣🤣
Uncle Chael undefeated, undisputed , best in the world
Chael pronouncing Pereira different every time has me rolling
Chael has some serious onscreen talent. Also what's with the UFC and suga sean, they care way more about him than fans ever will lol
For me, Zombie was the epitome of going out on one's shield. Forever respect.
26:51 that was fire editing
Watching liddel shake his head after hugging strickland was hilarious
Toe tags and body bags. Some murderous fights this year!
LFG!!!
Thanks to Dana and the rest of the company for some absolute bangers!!!!
2023 was one of the best year for mma, huge upsets, new champions great storyline.
That doesn’t equate to the “best year for mma” nor does it equate to the best year business wise.
Isn’t that every year for the ufc 😅
@@Whobilationthe best year of mma is a subjective opinion you can’t determine his own metric tf lol
Gotta love them for putting "Chael Patrick Sonnen" in the RUclips description
The P stands for undefeated
why Is the show called Spongebob Squarepants when PATRICK is the star!
Chael carrying the harder selling points. He is good. Company guy.
This is basically a Suga show with some UFC highlights in between. I get the UFC is pushing him but Strickland literally had one of the upsets of the year against one of the greatest MW of all time and gets a 2 second shout out, you know who’s brand friendly.
One of the most overlooked storylines of the year: MARC GODDARDS EARLY STOPPAGES IN TITLE FIGHTS
great show. nobody does production better than ufc. that's why they are #1 in sports.
Power slap is #1 casual
@@Bigbuggin 🤣 no doubt.
why did it say in the timeline of Sean O'Malley that he beat Yan by unanimous decision??? It was a split decision and I think that 90% of people watching gave it to Yan
It's time to fill the BAD GUY in the commentary role.
35:02 there's no way Chito is a bigger fight than Cory. Sean vs. Cory is like a dream fight because of their styles
Stylistically yes, popularity wise Sean v Chito is bigger
@@Dezemi Nobody wants to see Sean vs. Chito though. Cory ran through him. Probably the most underwhelming title fight on the card
get chael on more stuff ufc!!
I m french and i would like to know if suga is as much a superstar that he claims for. The PPV buys were not that good as expected against Aljo, right ? Why
No. The 13 and 14 year old non binary market is small.
Chael always shows Usman respect!!!
Great to see Chael right where he belongs. No one better on the mic
Loved this show guys, and you have to love collabs wirh chael sonnen 🤗🤗
THANK YOU 2023
HELLO 2024
This looks great! I can't wait to, oh....Chael's here.....
Chael always cracks me up LMFAO 😂😂
Im a grown man on trt so no lack of test and i was on the edge of tears this whole video!!!!just wow ufc..just wow cheal ,dc,and jon,just wow espn.thanku
Up your dose, brother
@@MMAVoodoo no shit right?
My point was props to the production and fighters (obvious the fighters)
I here because of Chael. Bad guy killin it
18:40 that different angle of the Goliath going down 😮. That was brutal!!
Chaels Tully Blanchard glasses are top notch.
Damn I was feeling some feels during that retirement segment 😢
Thank you, Awakenbeerus; this is the same outcome as you described in your live. THANK YOU 10,000 TIMES.
Chael's looking sharp ! Still undefeated!
Dawg seeing zhang pick up Ngannou was crazy 🤣🤣Ik she was a fucking animal and I haven’t doubted her since ion think anyone beats her at 115 tbh

Anik with the gem of the show, Conor fighting twice this year once in the octagon and once in the streets caught me off guard. Pure gold lol
Chael for president!!! I hope he takes a position in the ufc.
2024, next PPV in Texas has to be Austin given the last 2 insane action filled cards we were treated to.
Chael pronounicng the names will always be hilarious
Blehall 😂😂😂
Makilchev 🤣

2023 has to be a Top5 year in the history of the UFC… right up there with 2006 , 2009 , 2010 & 2016 in my opinion
Chael is electrify commentary as always love it.
Chael is perfect for this!
UNDEFEATED! UNDISPUTED! UNCLE CHAEL P SONNEN! Tito tapped.
Makachev is in every single Thumb nails 😂
Chael is hilarious, he don’t care he still says the names wrong like on his channel lol
Two legends and Chael
These 3 should be our ufc judges, 2 retired fighters and a commentator/one of the best analysts. Would be better than the bs judges that think paddy beat Jared Gordon
Chael is fantastic on these. Keep him on for future ones.
I love this content! 👏👏
Daniel mentions Alexa beating Valentina twice. That's not correct, the second one was a draw and she kept the belt because that's the procedure for champions in the UFC.
That opening UFC Music is always so sick.
What song was that?
Correction: Alexa Grasso didn't beat Schevchenko in the rematch. It was a draw. Alexa retained the belt because she was the defending champion.
DC himself corrected Grasso in the post-fight interview and now he says she beat her...🤦♂️
44:44 hmmmmm🤔 first fight chael said wants made 204 was active champ Aspinall against undisputed champ Jones - yet one second later visual comes up and they instead wrote Jones Miocic
Dana knows exactly why he put Sean and DDP so close together, and he took credit for it.
In many cases the "interim" champion is the real champ. In this case Aspinall is the real champion, cause he's the active champ, and the guy that just beat the scariest title contender in at least the last decade in the highest-profile fight in the heavyweight division since Dos Santos vs Velasquez 3, cause it was the 2 best and most devastating heavyweights in their prime (Pavlovich and Aspinall in this case); Dos Santos and Cain had the most knockouts in the heavyweight division among other stats that prove my point, and they were in their absolute prime then; now Tom and Sergei represent the same thing but in this last era

Happy new year everyone have a blessed 2024 in jesus' name
Great trio. Good show. Uncle Chael is legendary. Should have closed the show with a receipt on Ariel.
What song opened up the video?
Sean Strickland won all the awards!
chael is the man
Great show ufc!
I would love to see Uncle Chael commentate a PPV.
why are their thumbnails so unofficial-looking? 😂
great content!
Sean lost to Yan lol love how the outcome of the real result is just hidden and everyone accepts a false outcome

24:39 calling Jorge the greatest of all time is anik’s worst take of all time
Greatest Journeymen Of All Time
He was talking about Nunes, it was just a bad clip placement.
Chael is FANTASTIC.
If chael was on here as much as we all want. ESPNs ratings would reach a ATH
