When the two class bullies come together for a school project
Underrated comment.
looked like a young uncle and big brother
Hahaha true true
@@LearnWithZ2023 with the way they both look, I'm honestly still wondering who's the young uncle and who's the big brother, despite their age range. 😂😂😂
@@michaelcielo3313 Ben is bro chel is uncle for sure just by the look see Ben is talking more and chel is like smiling
Askren and Chael looking like two co-stars in a hit movie being interviewed.
They have similair personalities
"hey, young man..." " I'm older than you." That one always cracks me up
It was the "do you want me to introduce weapons?" For me, just cuts through usmans argument lol
@@itsnicetoseeyou my favorite part too. Usman definitely looked stupid in that one.
You can tell when sonnen watches his press with silva he feels sad. He always wanted to win a championship for his father who passed away but always fell short. One of the greatest trash talkers, the American gangster sonnen.
Actually he probably isn’t sad. He transcended the sport and became much more popular than pretty much any fighter from that era. He is the Muhammad Ali of MMA minus the civil justice accomplishments and GOAT status.
I wanted Chael to win so bad that night. Not because he was the best middleweight but simply because of his father.
He came SO close
@Shizzy Hao no champ I've ever seen was for the people. Just themselves. Awesome comment, friend.
Chael is a champion in our hearts
Michael Bisping owning Luke Rockhold was just legendary
They should have a 3rd fight, as they are 1 each.
Becky Cowan Bisping is retired and 40 with one eye he ain’t fighting again.
Conceive believe achieve...
Lol, that wasnt trash talk, thats just how you treat retards who talks too much.... nothing to see there.
Always love that one...I always put on the best of Bisping if I'm in the mood to laugh
Should've used the footage of Chael murdering Tito at the Bellator press conference
Classy.. classy
Well I guess ESPN didn't want to promote Bellator.
Tell another jackal story
Conor is a better fighter than Khabib, better precision, better timing, more powerful WAY faster and WAY more agile, can counter way better than Khabib (Khabib cant even counter), he can throw killer kicks (Khabib cant even kick) and he is better at Khabibs turf (Ground) than Khabib is at Conors turf (standup and striking), he was rusty against Khabib, all he needs to do is work on stamina/cardio and a bit on jiu jitsu he would rip khabibs head off. Conor's composure and footwork was also off and there was more action in the aftermath, there should be a rematch, and for khabib fans who have a SEVERE disconnect with reality and have a mental capacity of a dead squirrels genitals who go "Haha McTapper mcnugget irish loser" You would also tap even *Joe Rogan* mocked you idiots for saying that and said you would tap too. Khabib installs too much of his religion in his fighting and uses it as a victim card and he thinks hes badass and tough when he just hugs midgets and bums on the ground for 25 minutes and its just boring highlights. And the people who say hes a cokehead are stupid, USADA wouldve tested him and he would be disqualified
That was a nasty line...by me
Fun fact: When Jeremy Stephens starts talking Ben asks „who is talking“ 😂😂😂
🤣😂
@wade wilson May he rest in the shadow real with his three piece and a soda
@@youngdaffyduckthethird155 that was leon edwards, A for effort though
@@hedgingusd Ben got hit with the 3 piece too my friend. First the devastating knee, then the 2 super neccessary punches after. A- for effort though
Boatz N. Hoezz222 a shot can’t be unnecessary if the fight isn’t called yet
"you can't answer yet Anderson, you can't understand remember?" hahahaha 😂
Whoever came up with this idea needs to be promoted
Sam Burgess For real, I could watch a part 2 and a part 3 and who knows how many more, this was funny as hell
I love that Ben can accept "thats a good line" and laugh at himself.
Chael lowkey forgot he was right next to him 😂😂
MrMongoose221 i loved his casual “I highly doubt that”
@notoriousakuma 11 kinda ironic.... Have you seen the guys Masvidal won against? Darren till was the only good one to be fair.
@notoriousakuma 11 the doctor fought nate diaz
@notoriousakuma 11 then what do you think of Khabib? He only fought 4-5 notable dudes. Still he's pretty great.
Conor just shrugging off Jeremy's comment with "good one" is super underrated imo.
"Leprechaun." There. I've used all my Irish jokes.
I'm surprised none of them addressed it.
I think Eddie Alvarez and Khabib are one of the few who had good comebacks/comments towards Conor
@@potatosarenice3286 Nate
@@potatosarenice3286 Eddie yes, but Khabib never even really had an answer. Also you forgot to mention Nate who actually had the best comebacks imo...
"He documented the crime, released the evidence while denying that it ever happened." I laughed so hard at that moment.
Me too lol
wow ESPN is KILLING it. So glad they linked with the UFC.
For real didn't expect this!
100% this is pure gold

Don't forget "Anderson Silva, you absolutely suck!"
Are you intoxicated
@@SkengmanChev im not impressed with your performance
"Take care of your underwear" is the most iconic line.
Chael and Ben. What a combo. WHAT a combo!!!
No it's, *what* a combo!
Agreed, and almost on the same level as my all-time favorite combo... Vitor Belfort's 18 punch combo knockout of Wanderlei Silva when he smashed him clean across the Octagon from one side to the other. kzhead.info/sun/aK1-dLinjqOZnp8/bejne.html
I'll do you one better, How a combo!?
Virtually identical
Leonard Ney combination
Those two would make a killer podcast
And they are both undefeated.
The world would cease to exist
M Harish are you and idiot, Claudia is hot
ZeeS x i think so too but she do have a man voice lol
Claudia doesn’t have a neck, why does everyone think she’s hot? She’s no Meisha Tate or Rachel Ostovich

"Im a fcking samurai" Please don't ever say that Luke...
Someone should also tell him not to use the word "bloke" ever again either. Makes him sound like he's trying to be Bisping.
He was right, like a great samurai he snuck up toward Mike and punched his fist with his face.

he said so many great things that night. thank you luke

Yes matt babe I agree xx

MattHDGamer love your Fifa vids, Matt. Come on Liverpool
100% True, Facts, Legit, real.
And idiots were actually hating the change in the beginning 😂
This was the wisest move by ESPN MMA crew outside of putting Chael & Helwani together...that said, I could totally see Funky Ben Askren becoming a media analyst once his career is considered complete. Solid show gents.
true. it was actually an obvious call to get these two together ive been thinking about it for a while, but its refreshing to see it actually happen, cos no way would it have happened pre-ESPN, they are actually in the loop and know what good content is.
Even after Masdival baptized him, you just gotta love Askren. Hope to see him around for years to come either as a fighter or analyst ❤️💯
Won't fight anymore, just looks like he will coach / commentator.
I still don't get why Masvidal hated him so much.
@@sebastianc2077 that's what I'm not getting. Like why was he so mad

12:12 - wow look at chael foreshadowing Askrens downfall 😂
I noticed that too haha
Chael's face when Bisping mentions he beat Anderson Silva lol
"It's hard to break down my own stuff" - *Goes into great detail to break down his own stuff* Chael's narcissism always amuses me xD
It's like when he says he doesn't watch WWE, but then talks about what's going on.
How is this narcissism, he can obejectively observe and analyze himself, it is just "harder" to do because he views himself with a bias, we all do.
Chael is laughing at everyone including himself - that is the secret. Remember after he said he would have Anderson's wife make him a steak - she actually did because Anderson invited him over for a meal. Sonnen put butts in seats and raised the payday.
Chael and Ben is the trash talking duo I didn't know that I wanted to see.
Look at the post fight interview with chael, ben, and bisping it is very fun
Post fighting career, Funky and the Bad Man tag team duo
Greatest tag team since the Hardy brothers

Actually Ali seen a pro wrestler named Gorgeous George who was a prolific heel and trash talker. Ali studied what Gorgeous George was doing but took it to another level and used his platform to change the world. Ali used trash talk to psychologically beat opponents mentally and physically. Any real fight fan should watch the documentary Facing Ali. Nothing but interviews with Ali’s opponents. The only people who truly understands Ali’s greatness and what he did to his opponents psychologically. After watching that movie I came away fully understanding why Ali was truly The Greatest.
Gorgeous george was white
Ali didn't take what Gorgeous George did to a new level, he actually toned it down. Pro Wrestling promos were wild even back then.
You know Sonnen is watching himself thinking "I am no question the best to ever do it"
Undefeated undisputed
“The only person I know that makes money with the mouth is Tito’s ex”

More content like this. You're already crushing Fox.
M a huge fan of u bro !
Didn't expect you here. But yeah, great stuff!
I think they know what they’re about more than fox, sheer experience
You've been around since 06 berely at 2million subs and maybe half a mill in the bank left' yet you've still made content and keep up on the daily many would call it quit but you kept going showing fame ain't your goal nor is money. It's rare artist care about their fans even after their fame died and career ended mad respect.

Who is here after Ben’s tragic passing? 💀
it kinda sucks cuz after watching this I like ben lol
Watching all of Ben's interviews and content is so weird right now. Legit feels like he's dead right now

Honesty it would have been better for Askren to win. People like him sell fights. People like Masvidal don’t. Just proves the ufc isn’t rigged
@@patstaysuckafreeboss8006 yeah cuz we all didn't see him wake up and walk out of the octagon
Been over a year and I still want these two to have a show 👀
Mad vid. Loved it. Even though they are both more or less retired now i could watch these guys pick a part trash talk for hours.
Ben and Chael. I can’t think of a better, more entertaining pair. All we’d need is Bisping in the mix, and it would be absolutely glorious.

conor and uriah was entertaining
The bad guy and funky!! Now that is a podcast the world needs!!!!!
The Funky Bad Guys podcast

11:35 intro to some girl on girl XXX. I got excited
Rule 34
We will never get another guy who knows how to play the heel and understands the school yard trash talk like chael.
Bring in Tito ortiz and garbrandt if you want real experts
Garbrandt is an expert at getting KO/d. If they watch a knockout compilation maybe he’d be of some assistance

Askren is an extremely nice guy in real life. I used to live near him a few years ago and would frequently run into him at the grocery store and the gym. Never tried to bother him too much because he and his wife were out running errands and living their normal lives, but I did get a chance to chat with him after working out and we were both chilling in the hot tub/pool at the gym.
