😂😂
Brlliance.

Chael and Ariel...biggest arms and the biggest nose in the biz. Respect to you sirs
Cheal undefeated in Super Heavyweight
All they need is Askren and we have the biggest chin to add to that
Lmaooo largest dick and largest growth of body hair in the biz
The Biggest arms, The greatest Charm & the one who will inflict all the harm.
I could listen to Chael talk for hours. I want to see him on JRE again.
Chael let Ariel get close.
only because he’s no threat to chael
@@OhChroniqz I don't know, Ariel's nose seems like it can cause some devastating, career-ending eye pokes
Darryn interesting theory
Darryn good thing the biggest arms in West Lynn Oregon were there to maintain distance from the nose
He CAN let HIM get close. Just not wandy
0:07 Only Chael can propel a chair that far back when going for a hug, amazing.
Best to ever do it.
The Hh The chair tried to run but nobody can escape a clinch with the GOAT
Must be on the PEDS
BRIANS WORLD you must be a blast at parties Brian.
Hahahahaha!!! My sentimates excactly👌
The man with the biggest arms, the most charm and the one that's gonna do all the harm
I'll bet the farm
@@DarrenBelgrave no ... just no man. You overdid it
Reading this comment made me real warm. No homo.
He is the reason why Waldo hides.
Wow. Absolutely stunning. Just WoW
23:40 - 26:40 master salesman’s at work. Holy hell. There’s only one Chael P. Sonnen.
Or, you know, salesmen
He's working his gimmick
Chael P. is an undisputed legend, and the P stands for ‘Gangster’
Well of course Machida gets to pick between Bader n Mousasi for the simple fact that he's beaten both of them lol
I know what he's doing, and it's working. Getting me fired up.
Says theres nothing to talk about between him and Machida then proceeds to go off on him in typical Chael fashion lol i love this dude. One of the best ever at selling fights! Im def watching!
I love how Chael might be one of the few fighters who actually like Ariel. These 2 together is such a randomly good odd mix. I need The Count and Sonnen to have a show together
The greatest "basically clean" combat athlete on the planet! #badguy
If you dont love these two, you're wrong.
Chael is the man. Ariel is literally a Disney character. He's a fucking chump and a cancer to this sport.
Im not a total fan of Ariel but I respect him and all he does for the sport. Both these guys are great for mma, we are lucky to have them
The Rule of Two you’re a moron. He’s an incredibly reporter and journalist. He’s extremely respected by anyone that has an IQ of over 115, because they understand how good of a journalist he is. He ain’t cancer to this sport, he’s very good for this sport, always has been and always will be. As Dillon Danis said, back in the day, Ariel was the main source of MMA information. And he fully deserves the positions he’s got in life. He’s brilliant. You know fuck all about journalism. He’s not afraid to ask the tough questions which most will be apprehensive of. This sport ain’t for you
I like Chael I don't really like or dislike Helwani
Don't wanna be right, if it means liking Helweannie.
Dillon Danis "i can roll with the best , but don't put me in a rolling car , i might get sick " ....
S Saxman Dillon “I’m 1-0 in Bellator and only relevant because of McGregor” Danis
Chael did him wrong lol. Exposing his gimmick.
@@eternalvigor1190 meh. He's considered on of the best grapplers at the moment so in grappling world he is known. But to people who do t care for grappling outside of mma your statement is spot on.
Lol love this
MaynardOwns he has an 18-16 record in jujitsu he’s above average but he’s not a star by any means
"I'll come back down to 205, dad will come home and the mice will all scurry." Gold.
Damn Bellator doing Chael dirty.. Imo he’s one of the bigger draws that they have on the roster. Nothing against Machida, but Sonnen sells fights
Should imo have him vs Bader for the title if you think about it in the heavyweight Grand Prix Fedor and Mittrione got finished quickly King Mo doesn’t make sense Chael beat Rampage I don’t see a good contender at HW and he makes sense to fight
He lost almost all of. His fights and the one he won was very boring so bellator adjusting to. What. Chael. Is. Delivering to. Them
Hes the biggest draw in Bellator
Who would you rather him face
I like this fight, its just weird timing. They are #1 contenders in different weight classes.
I saw the biggest arms on all of youtube and clicked
Me too and still undefeated after all these years
young abu u gay?
46 men have tried, only 16 have succeeded.
Amanda 'Double Champy' Nunes No, Chael let 16 people go over
That's not too bad
30 victories and 16 light sparring sessions
When your at the top of the division in a league of your own you have to let people get over on you to stay in the good books with the ufc why do you think artems lost some fights
30 murders 16 mercies
23:15 to 27:00 that is why Chael is the best when it comes to the business side of the game.
Steve Burgos bro that is literally if Will Ferrell played Chael in a movie lol
Does Chael even have a license for those 2 guns? 40:31
Zontacx lol
Catching myself watching Chaels old interviews. Legends never die
0:07 holy shit Chael went all out on that chair. truly the GOAT. WAR CHAEL
JLDoubleU Chael didn’t let that chair get close
Undisputed chair champ
He's never lost a round and he knows how to treat something as lowly as where he plops the largest ass in West Lynn Oregon.
I want Chael to get juiced to the gills again
Wouldn’t say he ever has been. Juiced to the gills ps Pride days Vitor Belford or Overeem. There’s a big difference!!
Yes
james delaney he’s never done steroids
You mean you want juice to get Chaeled all again.
@@richardmahaffey3959 he has
God almighty that thumbnail.. those are the biggest arms I've ever laid eyes upon. Tremendous. I fully believe his claim on having the biggest arms in all of West Linn, hell they might be the biggest in the multiverse...there's even a slim chance he might be able to man-handle Lord Lobov with those guns...
The artem meme got out of hand, nobody could Ever touch sonnen, let alone win a round against him
😂
This is end of the world stuff 😂
Change your god damn picture mate. Also I might have to bump you up to 80% gay with Woody's level.
Lol you look like Icarly
Chael is looking jacked!!
I love these two! You can just tell that they have such a good friendship the way they talk with each other, just like friends.
I am also undefeated at Madison Square Garden!!
Hey Lyoto Whatcha you gonna do when you know who! How you gonna deal with the man of Steel?! How ya gonna react to Sonnens attack??
Lol chael the goat 🐐
@Miller Mayhem if he wants his foot eaten and digested
@Miller Mayhem Chael HAS never been knocked out in a fight.
When Chael retires, he should run for President of the United States. 🇺🇸BAD GUY FOR PRESIDENT🇺🇸
It’s honestly impressive how good Ariel’s memory is.
I'm a simple man. I see Chael, I click.
IF CHAEL SAYS DO IT, DO IT
Tony Wettle can you picture Chael giving you the stink eye saying just do it. Than a Nike symbol appears. Gold!!!
lol Ariel asking Chael "I drive everywhere so I can do videos in my car" Sonnen if the drive there was an issue.
Which begs the question... Just how gold IS Henry Cejudo's Olympic Medal?
Chael P Sonnen has never lost a round.
Chael only guy that can make Ariel genuinely laugh 😂 19:35
*Chael and Ariel. Better love story than Twilight* ✅🙂
7:58 Didn't know Ariel Helwani have such wise sons. they want nothing to do with WWE but enjoy NJPW/ROH show? Respect.
I've never watched njpw but I've heard it's like a nostalgia trip to the days when wwf didn't suck assholes covered in herpes. Man the mid 90s to 00 was prime wwf. Now a days it's just a big drama show. The stars are forced on the viewer, they have no creative control. Think about it. Stone Cold wouldn't be Stone cold if he was in his mid 20s right now. That gimmick wouldn't have a chance. That famous kotr promo would have been scripted. Also he probably wouldn't have been in the tournament.
I could listen to these two all day.
Chanel Sonnen is absolutely the best interview & interviewer .....he’s so knowledgeable ,so wise with his words...so interesting; he’s one of the few guys that Ariel does NOT try to make look stupid.
The great undefeated Chael Sonnen! I really feel bad for Machida, lets just pray for him!
Nice hearing 2 guys that understand the business and psychology of pro wrestling. Just listened to Schaub talk about this and had no idea what he was talking about
I loved it back in the day when Ariel would interview before & after his fights, it always seemed like they got along well.
Most Saturdays I stay up to 6 am in England watching ufc cards in America, and Ariel is annoyed at staying up to 2 am watching wrestlemania.
Kieron Knight you know that!!!!
Kieron Knight lol it sure is a killer for us UK guys staying up till 6 for UFC every month!
Ariel bi*ches about UFC cards going on until 1am ..
Know that
Because the show was like 10 hours...
People are really underestimating Chael. The guy is a top tier fighter. He could very well take home a belt before he decides to call it a day.
Lol he lost to every top fighter in their prime. You're clearly new to MMA and fooled by the hype.
@@MichaelP-ke1tm He's won the majority of the rounds he's fought throughout the course of his career, outstruck a good amount of his opponents (Rampage, Anderson, Okami, etc.), and has wrestling far superior to a good amount of fighters in the sport. His conditioning is top tier, his wrestling is world class, and his boxing, although just a setup for his double, is underrated. When you go 5 full rounds against Anderson Silva and win every single one of them, some of them 10-8, that's a spectacular feat. Chael is a damn good fighter. You don't know a thing about me. And your superiority complex over something like MMA needs some work. Hope your personality improves.
@@GageRyanVideo And after your essay, my point still stands that he lost to every top fighter in their prime besides Bisping. Lost to Silva twice. Lost to Jones. Lost to Tito. Lost to Fedor. Lost to Rashad Evans. He's an average fighter that got overhyped by fanboys like you after he created a KZhead channel.
TRollolololol
Pat L Beat Bisping, Shogun, Wanderlei, Rampage, Filho, Marquardt, and even Oleynik. To act like he’s never beat any top tier fighter is wrong. But I’m sure you’ll have some kind of excuse for this.
Lol Ariel didn't give af about Chael's mom saying hi
Noticed that too, such a prick move !
Gentile Uprising he should go find her then...
Lil Oak which minute
@@AM-gw2hu 0:17
I think it went over his head, still bad manners as @stanley moon said
That thumbnail nearly discouraged me from clicking, damn uncle Chael, holster those weapons
Chael is a gem and we must protect him at all costs.
u have to appreciate ariel's deep down knowledge n level of engagement for MMA n UFC..he can relate to any date event incident n fighters..thats a hell of journalist
These two... so frikking entertaining BRAVO!
Chael is the type of guy to say "you're welcome" everytime someone says thank you
What a weirdo
love both these guys thx for the content
could listen to this and especially chael for hours
Danis gets carsick bahahaha
Bahahahaha I know right, people getting carsick is sooooo hilarious hahahahahahah so damn funny
That's such a Luke rockhold thing to say, some bullshit that doesn't even make sense.
Why is that funny
@@adnationg7271 it was mentioned in the video that Danis gets carsick and I find it hilarious, I'm sorry it's so difficult for your pea sized brain to comprehend.
Chael talking Mania! Love It!
Love both of them together!
These two guys are the best, hands down!
The hit man was a work to put Travis over
I hate that fight. Machida vs Sonnen... I love both these guys
The line that makes me respect chael more than anything else and the best line he said entire time... "I'm in charge of her birthday, she's lowkey and nothing can go wrong, but actually A LOT can go wrong if I don't put forth effort." Hahaha!!! I know that game. That is the game. Best reward and title for playing the game. I'd buy chael a drink any damn day of the week!
Damn! These guys are an awesome team!! Had to comment twice, it was just that nice...
It's all good man! It’s cause both of em know MMA and both of em are intellectuals. So they know how to convey the message in a comedic and interesting way.
I would watch a full wwe show Witt chael And Ariel they make anything they talk about look good 🤷🏻♂️🔥
Chael is always fun, when he "gets" angry with Lyoto not asking he if he could accept the fight.
Chael P is back on the TRT baby, LHW champion of the worlldddddd AND NEEWWWWWWW Ryan Bader your 5 minutes of glory are almost up.
TRT 185 lbs Chael was a beast back in the day!
@@happydays6649 Chael has lost to every real fighter in their prime lol
Chael never lost a single round let alone a fight
@@halestrum77 Thats not true
Pat L proof?
Man lyoto is probably my all time favorite but chael is the homie idk who to root for
Best Show right now. They both mix up very well. Ariel brings up the news, facts and rumors and Chael chews on it, spit it out and spoke the truth no one else dares to.
he is aways undefeated
38:35 that moment when ariel helwani asks Chael P. Sonnen if hes the main event lol classic.
When Chael went off about missed birthdays. Fucking grade A entertainment.
ariel wants a hug. chael : how good is ariel's submission attempt?
MMA seems to have better personalities in general than any other sport. Often well spoken, entertaining, even insightful at times... this is the greatest sport on earth.
I love this pairing especially the great Chael Sonnen
Sonnen and Ariel makes good conversation
The two Best in the business right there ☝️
I love Chael at 39:10 he refuses to give up that undefeated. Real Champ Shit
Chael for prez.
Chael and Ariel are the best! I love these guys! Lol
39:09 Tf Ariel 😂
Chael maybe on the juice again,his neck veins are packing heat.
Imagine his DICK VEINS
When was he not?
This is hologram chael
This was awesome .
Chael has the most intriguing mannerisms in the sport
Chael is clearly a super cool dude, he was the first guy in MMA to play a different character in front of the camera and use it to make himself THE guy we wanted to see. He’s a underrated in cage talent, might have been the best guy to never (officially) win a belt.
Chael "let me off you this" as he punches you in the face.
This is fantastic.
omg wrestle mania was too long rhonda walking out at 12;00 pm meanwhile in the uk theres me staying up till 4am for ufc cards xD
It be cool if they offered a prize for certain finises like a solar plexes tko to gut or spinning heel kick, super man punch.. beyond there normal prize bonuses like fight of the night and preformance of the night... imagine if a rare jujitsu move that nobody has done yet gets the W ?? That alone deserves a bonus!! Legal moves obviously..
These two have great chemistry. Strange that these two dont do a weekly podcast.
I miss Ariel and Chael together, can't listen to anything but Chael by himself now.
Ariel and chael have one damn good show together
Wrestlemania was epic, actually enjoying wwe again 👏👋👍
haha that promo was really good
I love Sonnen's trash talk. ... but that's my boi Machida... damn it boi.... lol
Uncle Chael just blessed Ariel with his presence
The reason we hate Dillon Danis and live Ben is Ben proved himself and Dillon is 1-0 and acts like he’s able to fight the best in the world
You could of said the same thing about askren until the lawler fight tho he was more proven than Danis of course but it wasn’t anything special you can’t get a good MMA record without being in the ufc nowadays
@@giggsyg11 not true plenty of great fighters outside the UFC
Chris Weber there’s some, but plenty is bullshit there’s no more than 3 people in any promotion that would do well in the UFC people just like to deny it to stand out and act cool about how they don’t follow the popular product and then proceed to watch nothing but the ufc honesty goes a long way
hug it out lol... I like these 2 guys
Chael is gonna beat Machida. Machida isn't the same anymore... he struggled with Eryk Anders, most of us don't even know who Eryk Anders is. I got Chael 29-28.
love the robo hug lol
nice stuff
Chael's the best entertainer in the MMA world.
Timestamp for reference to TJ & EPO?
Does anyone know what he is mentioning at 7:02?
