I was spoiled. My favorite fighter has hung up his gloves. With his retirement, comes an end of an era. The last of a dead breed. The only reason I'm not completely devastated is because he will still be around. Thank God for his podcast and announcing fights. Chael, you are one of the greatest to ever do it. Youve taught me more than just mma. I hope the next chapter in your life brings you happiness and joy. You only deserve the best.
They say a Hall of Fame member is a person who you can’t tell the story of the sport without them That’s Sonnen through and through, he left the sport better then he found it Thank you
Chael's able to talk for almost ten minutes about the process of a weight cut with total clarity. No getting sidetracked, no awkward pauses, no edits. The man truly has the gift of gab.
3 gallons of water is crazy. I never actually looked up just how much that is. I use to work manual labour in a factory. 12 hour days... (Normally 10 hours) heavy lifting, making pallets up, getting them moved.. Sorting waste produce... (30kg) But on average was lifting 10-20 kg boxes all day everyday... 3 hours heavy work, 10 minute break. 3 hours heavy work, 20 minute break. 3 hours heavy work.. 10 minute break. Work till finished. I worked my ass off... And would go through x3 1.5L bottles of water a day. One each break.. Which is quite a lot of water.. That's 4.5L of water, but in US gallons is only around 1.2 gallons! I'd drink about another litre, or maybe another full 1.5L bottle after work with my dinner etc.. Id say on average I was drinking 4 bottles a day. So 6L. That's only a little bit over half what these guys have to drink a day.. And that's a damn lot of water.. Working out a minimum of 9 hours lifting 20-40lb boxes all day.. And I would not have felt comfortable drinking much more than the amount I was. The recommenced amount of water to drink in a day is around 2L, I was drinking on average 6L and these guys drink over 11L!
@@Amzyy He did that playing the whole act like he is a normal human being and can be hurt. Same thing Atrem did in his last fight. If Chae unleashed his real power he would nor be slowed to compete
In all honesty the man has an IRON chin, he’s been TKOed but never actually separated from consciousness. And that’s after fighting Anderson 2x, Jon, Fedor, Rashad, Lyoto etc. fucking god level chin
A series of hypotheticals: Machida drops down to fight for the belt at 185 Bader decides he doesn't want to fight at two weight classes and stays at HW. Anderson Silva gets released from the UFC, and signs for Bellator. Scott Coker gives Uncle Chael the call - "Fight Anderson for the LHW belt. One last dance". Do you guys think Chael would agree to whoop Anderson Silva for a third time?
Well never say never. I don't know if chael is still in the testing pool, but if he is, he might pull a money Mayweather and cash in with a comeback fight like that.
Man. I'm really gonna miss you in the cage, the pre-fight hype, all of it. Looking forward to hopefully seeing more Chael in an analyst & commentary role. One of the best out there.
Quite possibly my favorite man alive. Chael thank you for everything. Looking forward to continiue following all your work. Have a nice day from Split,Croatia.
Hey Chael. Just subscribed...you know the post fight interview did it for me. Seeing you with the kids an humble, truthful, respectful an knowing when you've fired your last shot...really made me think...this guy is something special. You are a great Champion an I'm glad you will still be out there to watch an listen too. God bless. Fan in Wyoming.
Chael, your faith is so strong. One can see you're a legit Christian in your heart. Even though you never speak on it. Boys and girls we call that leading by example. Congratulations on a legendary career! From one proud Oregonian to another. ✝
I would like to thank you for all your years of being the best in the business. From the trash talk to the humble hand shake at the end. Your truly what every mma and boxer should look to be. Thank you again for everything because of you I'm a mma fan. God bless you and your family.
You’re a legend Chael. Gutted for you but happy it’s done now. You’re incredibly interesting to listen too and look forward to you doing more of this stuff for the foreseeable future.
You are the man Chael, I have been your fan for many years and will greatly miss you, I was entertained and had so much fun watching you. I was sad too when you lost but you will always be a champion to my eyes. Take care of your family and I wish you the very best for your future. I will keep watching at least your youtube videos (no espn + in France 😅)
You gotta know we love you chael. I want to thank you for making this channel and showing the world not only the sport of mma and wrestling but showing us what an exceptional person you are
I rarely comment on videos but wanna say congrats Chael on a great and entertaining career. You may not have won the big one but you went out a legend.
Thanks for all you've done for the sport Chael. A real legend who pioneered hyping your own fight. Selling yourself, that's been mimicked by countless others. Imitation being the highest form of flattery.
Thanks for the insight! The fight game is crazy, and I love your videos on it. Sucks we wont be able to see you fight again, but it was a pleasure to watch you for over a decade. Thank you sir!!
Hey Chael! I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you for everything you've achieved and done for the sport! Your last press conference had me in tears! I've never met you but all I can say is that your father would be more than proud of you even though you didn't achieve what you promised him! In my opinion you've achieved much more than that❤️ You are the GOAT in many ways! You are a LEGEND!
“I’m the man of the hour Joe. Too sweet to be sour. What you see is what you get and what you don’t is better yet. I’m the women’s pick, I’m the men’s regret, and if you went against Chael Sonnen you made a bad bet.” You were the first fighter I ever followed in MMA. Wish you well in retirement. Gonna miss the bad guy.
Last weigh in.....wow- and thanks for recording a video immediately after work--- my first thought after your post fight announcement was ohhhh Shit, no more podcasts..... Thankfully I was wrong. Best MMA podcast without a doubt, absolutely a legend you are, and your commentator skills are 2nd to none
Chael u started it all. The original bad guy! You deserve so much more credit then u get. The crazy part is at the end u are one of the most beloved fighters ever to step in the octagon. Enjoy retirement #goat
OOOHHHH CHAEL! The way your voice broke at 7:00 saying it was trying for you broke my heart man plus you have the shiner!! Love ya buddy! Keep up the good work!
Belt or no belt, you had a huge impact on the sport, many people got introduced to this sport and made into fans due to your personality and social media. Whenever mma is mentioned there's no way your name won't come out off anyone's mouth.
what can be said...besides THANK YOU CHAEL!!!! you are a legend who will be talked about for years after we are all gone! you are a warrior!!! you did good.
Chael's career highlights victim list: Anderson Silva- W Bisping-W Jon jones- W Tito- tapped W Rampage- W Wanderlei- W Fedor- W Machida- W Never lost a round before or after retirement 💪💪
Chael iv been waiting for this!!! Missed you big boy!!! Your a star in whatever you do. Im hoping youll give us even more content now your retired. Legend does not do you justice. Love you brother
Chael you are a legend! Thank God you'll still be making videos! Thank you so much for everything you've done for the sport of MMA. Happy retirement to you!
Chael I’m half your age and strong as an ox but you’d straight up kick my ass. You are still an elite way up on the totem pole. I enjoy listening to your rants. You may not be trying to be funny but you are one well spoken dude that’s sharp witted and hilarious. Thanks.
Best part of these videos, Uncle Chael , never asks us to sub and Like . Congratulations on a great fighting career , you are always undefeated and UNDISPUTED in my book
You didnt need the belt buddy you a true peoples champ watched every one of your UFC fights doesn't matter if you got gold or get in hall of fame all true UFC fans know your the guy that changed the game everybody else copies you you are the benchmark to what all cage fighting entertainment is based on enjoy your retirement huge fan here from Scotland and just one more time loved every minute of you in the cage and also loving your podcasts and commentary thank you for everything Chael P Sonnen!! 💪
This was very informative, and interesting that you had a struggle like this to lose the weight. It's definitely something to do with age and wear and tear. Congratulations on a fine career. And congratulations on your new one.
Chael now you can focus on being the best mma analyst.. you're an American inspiration, I hope you know us fans appreciate the first trash talking mma fighter 💪🏼

Chael retired because if he stayed active the entire mma heavyweight division would never win, he sacrificed himself for the greater good
A lot of responsibility being undefeated for his entire career
Sssshit
This meme is pretty disrespectful
@@FishJokes how exactly?
layzy it Chael started it.
Chaels eye muscles are so strong they damage the surrounding tissue.
P4P strongest eyes in the game

The greatest undefeated P4P fighter ever in the history of mma. You will be missed GOAT
I wish I could agree but Artem the goat Lobov does exist
chael has wiped out the fighters in three different weight divisions, there was nothing more to prove, now everyone has a chance
@@lilplayboy98 excellent analysis you must have learned from ol chael him self
8rpeavler lmao!!! Yeah right

Thank you
This is not a black eye just an illusion the GOAT never gets hit, undefeated Chael. That's just the shadow of the eyelash

So good to see you again! Thought you took the week off
Thank you for being such a positive figure in my life
Chael you’re the man. Your dad would be more than proud that’s a FACT
We will always stay with you cheal, you made me fall in love with mma and I am super grateful for all that you've done!
Chaels An Absolute Legend.
I don't care, He Won WEC Middleweight Champion from Filho.
FifaKingUFC such bullshit they didn’t give him the belt. Chael beat him. Why is he being punished for Paula’s fuck up?
Chael's able to talk for almost ten minutes about the process of a weight cut with total clarity. No getting sidetracked, no awkward pauses, no edits. The man truly has the gift of gab.
You're a legend, Mr. Sonnen. Thanks for everything, and I hope to enjoy your commentary for many years to come.

Mr Sonnen has a black eye from that illegal knee from that dirty fighter. Still the GOAT of MMA, interviews, hotel/Uber/bedroom podcasts. 😂
Not a black eye just an illusion
A M LOL you are correct. 👍🏻
I'm not seeing what your talking about bud.
it`s just makeup, chael did it as a favor of making bellator look good after his retirement
@@Amzyy He did that playing the whole act like he is a normal human being and can be hurt. Same thing Atrem did in his last fight. If Chae unleashed his real power he would nor be slowed to compete
Chael will forever go down in history as not only the Rightful and Legitimate WEC Champ but ALSO the #1 pound for pound People's Champion!!!!
"i was inefficient with my fight IQ" - chael sonnen
Chael Mcgregor
Where does Kevin lee fit into all this?
Over trained, under motivated, inefficient with fight I.Q. and still good enough to beat this guy.
Chael those old school Pride foot stomps were devastating. I saw Lyoto tap, you got robbed!
Jovoc nasty who mane
Love u Chael. Congrats on a Great Career.
Love you Chael. Your the best. You had an amazing career. Your our champion. I wish you the best for you and your family. ❤️🙏
Same, from Brasil!
In all honesty the man has an IRON chin, he’s been TKOed but never actually separated from consciousness. And that’s after fighting Anderson 2x, Jon, Fedor, Rashad, Lyoto etc. fucking god level chin
My uncle drinks 3 gallons of water a day. It just happens to have Hops, grains and Yeast in it.
Extremely clever man. Super hilarious.

There’s no way I don’t see him accepting that fight. One last chance to get a belt for his father
@@WtJah well the belt can't be on the line since he lost this fight
Sounds like this will happen 3 years later. At that age it won't be Anderson Silva vs Chael Sonnen. It'll be *Granderdad* Silva vs *Frail* Sonnen.
@@boreduser12 Ayye😉
Welcome back Chael! We missed you online. Here's to bigger and better things, you have a bright career aside from fighting.
Man. I'm really gonna miss you in the cage, the pre-fight hype, all of it. Looking forward to hopefully seeing more Chael in an analyst & commentary role. One of the best out there.
