We want more Dana White hate talk!!!!
Tatiana totally calling out Ariel on his "cheating on wife" burner phone hahaha busted!! Pulled a McGregor. Give him until after the show to pay a lump sum if not don't worry about it and she'll sue after.
@@daixer3156 🧐
Ariel changed his tune on the Zuck gimmick fight real quick when he thought he was listening to the show 😂
Or he knows the eyes it would bring the sport.
Please use proper pronouns for that 1st person. How do you know it's a guy? Sheesh people. It's 2023!! Time to shake your zits on the White House yard @@
Chael talking NBA wasn't on my bingo card but boy is that a gem to open with. What a legend.
Chael is a goddamn genius. He actually got Zuck to respond to it. He literally used the tactic he talked about in the mark and elon send me location video.
That Randy Brown interview was Incredible!!!
Rude boy
This is an underrated comment, and that will be an underrated interview. I hope he continues winning. Great person to be a role model is this game.
Been a fan of him since the cowboy fight seems like a real person nice to see it in this sport
mi luv di rude bw oy
Amazing story! Defo a fan!
Here for chael and he did not disappoint!! 😂😂
I'm here for On The Nose and the Dana White hate talk!!
@@jedzy My guy 👌
@@SorryYoureNotIrish 😔
“Your-Ear Rodriguez”
Topuria future world champion 💪🇪🇦🇬🇪
Not if paddy Pimblett has anything to do with it. I'm obviously joking before anyone starts. Topurias hands are too fast and accurate for pimblett.
He's gonna have to pry it from Max Holloways cold dead hands
@@callen8454You're stuck in 2019, Max isn't the champ anymore lmao
Cant beat volk
@callen8454 Ok Charleston Heston lol "LET MY PEOPLE GO!!!!..."
Chael was trolling about Zuck 😂
The whole thing seemed like it was to entertain himself and mess with Ariel
@@AustinBroussard Ariel is such a sucker 😂
you and chael together is the best.
Halfway bought Chael's play on Zuck for a minute there.... Then I remembered the lights and cameras were on! Legend :)
Chael is about to be a movie star 🌟
Ilia is a beast, one more fight and he should get a title shot
Love Tatiana - she's got such a positive energy about her despite all her troubles
Chaels take on Dame was super funny lmao
Randy Brown man, what a story
Chael Sonnen for UFC President
HASBULLAH 2024
I'm convinced that Ilia's voice emits some sort of interference wave because dudes connection was choppy as hell, but not once did it buffer while his missus was speaking
Chael’s hand gestures and cadence is so much like trumps 😂 Excuse me ☝️ Excuse me ☝️ Excuse me ☝️ 😂😂
thought the same. all the hand mannerisms/gestures, run-on sentences, super fast talking with points that are all over the place, not letting the other person talk…😂 scary
@@Funkymanq meanwhile Joe Biden about to lose his vocal cords
Randy brown interview was very interesting actually
Great show all the way through. Sneaky good one for sure.
A 🎉
1:22:40 After seeing that clip of Chael can finally see why He never swore in his entire career even during his trash talk, weather in character as the bad guy or as himself..... He comes across as genuinely aggressive and intimidating, which wouldn't have worked with his schtick and the intended Comedic tone of the bad guy character. A cool heel must be suave, calm, witty, collected and hilarious, not threatening and authentically intimidating. Dude is a genius, played everyone and marketed himself immaculately.
You need to make chael a co host. I haven’t even watched his part in this interview yet but i just love when the both of you talk together. The both of your minds mixing is amazing
Greatest intro in podcast. Been listening for 11 years
For sure
@@briantneary2248😅lr😊😊😅😊😅😊😊😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😊😅😅😮
Randy Brown got a new fan!
regarding the 155 PFL tournament that may have involved a match impropriety, nobody mentioned the crazy PFL fight fixing scandal last April where books were taking action on taped fights that went mostly unpunished?
Ariel I can't believe you fell for Chaels call with zuck
Illia Topuria is a G! Slowly becoming my new favourite fighter
Very nice of Chael to allow Ariel on the show
Seeing the thumbnail and catching the show midway through while live, I thought Randy Brown was MVP
There are people ( it's a great skill) who are able to talk as if they truly know what they're talking about like Cliff Claven from Cheers. Chael Sonnen is the MMA version of Cliff Claven. Use of "Fuzzy Math" is one of the arrows in the quiver.

"I can't let you get close" -- Damian Lillard, probably
Ilia is the guy , I hope he brings it all home
I'm Australian so I hope he beats everyone not named Volk
He beats Volk, but not Holloway....😮
@@callen8454terrible take lol
Not can beat volk, us aussies are the kings
He will, mayve not in the beginning of next year but Ilia is almost 8,5 years younger than Volk so it will 100% happen. I actually think in the near future, maybe 1 year Volk is old already (35) and I think he will move up to Lightweight soon
I’m convinced that GC says everything is fantastic, so he doesn’t offend anyone. 🤦♂️😭 Also, Chael Sonnen is something else. 🤣🤣
Randy Brown has style. :P
Kale is the man
Parlay Pals is way better than Parley Boys 🤡
Thankyou brothers have a good day
Wow this was a crazy episode to introduce Me to the show
"EXCUSE ME, EXCUSE ME" 😂
"Who names their kid 'Zabit'?" bahahahaha
Im only here for Chael
32:50 for ilia 🇪🇸
He’s a bum and getting ko stiff his next fight don’t forget Jai Herbert nearly took his head
We want on the nose!!
@@Bbb-lv6fsnot worth arguing with someone with 0 intelectual decency
@@Bbb-lv6fs I found Emett's girlfriend
Yeah get off his nuts he nearly got finished in his debut can’t wait to come back to this when he is ko stiffn
Ilia and his gf missing the “wow okay low bar” about the intellect comment by his gf was hilarious lmao
Chael does ZERO fact checking 😂
good ol' Chael lmao
Epitome of a true Murican! Death to Smoochie!!
Can't wait to finally get some good cards in the next few months. The standard of cards recently had been terrible
Did you not see the free ESPN and ABC card? That was pretty good!! And free!! I can't believe three in a row are free televised cards. Never done 3 in a row like that. RIBAS VS. BARBER was a blood bath. Even Daniel Comier got it and he wasn't fighting. Just complaining like always. What do you expect when hosting a fight with possible blood?
Weird that this doesn't work on Spotify or Google podcasts
I kept waiting for ariel to ask him about Bo Nickal.. then i realized that was Jamie Pickett. Lol
Niel Magny and Phillip Rowe are two different people too. I've seen em in the same room together
Chael is crazy as hell.
Was there a Wednesday episode this week?
Looking forward to seeing Chael’s blockbuster movie
Ariel and The Bad Guy! 💪
LESGOOOOO RIGHT ON MY BDAY
We want more Dana White hate talk!!!!! MORE!
Facts brother Someone pull the pin ….
Cheers
randy brown wow what a guy
Chale must’ve drank both of those monsters 🤣 he was on one
Nawww Proper 12 gRape 🍇 flavor
I love Chael
Kale sonnen : "illy Topuria"
nah you can’t make a parlay and have the odds be -370. the risk/reward of that is illegal to even contemplate as a solid bet
Can confirm Tatiana is terrible wit technology, especially her phone lmaoo
Areasetaewte tweterre 🎉e🎉are
How's she with B.O.B.?
2:03 camp 12:11
“Ariel, I would tell people I don’t rob banks. But I have robbed a bank before. Well, 4 banks. 5 banks…” Undisputed.
BRING BACK DARTS 🎯
How much sponsorship does New York Nick get
Ariel was in his feeling w Tatiana
I love ilia confidence but I don’t see him beating volk
Hello world
Tuporia could be a champion if Max and VOLK weren't there. There is levels. He might beat Max but not VOLK. You guys do a great job, enjoy Ariel's 10-7s ,New York ricks level head and responses and of course GC with his always well read & knowledge of all topics on the show. Thanks guys for all you do , enjoy the MMA HOUR.
I love me some Blazers talk from the undefeated goat, Chael
1:10:55 Chael got cat-fished by Aspen Ladd?!?!? LMAO 1:26:05
“High cotton” was an accurate term to use
Damn Toporia's chick is an 11😶
Next time timestamp the PFL section so its easier to skip please
🤤 It's merging with a crappier promotion. For what? What purpose could they make positive beside PFL washing their hands from their promotion and never looking back on it.
Ariel not knowing that the entire point of acting is that you don't seem exactly like yourself 😂
54:18 10-7 ariel
does Tatiana look like Ortega or am I going crazy ?
I swear I thought that was Ortega. I didn’t even think it just looked like him. I thought it was him.
Other fighters who look the same - Mackenzie Dern and Charles Oliveira
I didn't know Chael is Italian
We need to have a conversation about chael being a habitual liar
This dude is next champion. Been watching him for a while now and it’s awesome to watch him improve to where he is now and he will be next champion. Sorry volk I love ya but your gonna take the L to Topuria. LFG!!!
Can we go thru all the BOBBLEHEADS one day?
🎉
Why is Mens flyweight title always the same guy Brandon Moreno fighting the same guys 3 and 4 times?
Not uncommon . Anytime is dominant in a division, he will keep fighting the same guys if they also stay winning. It’s happened jon jones, dc, stipe, it’s happened with with volk, Izzy had 4 with alex even though 2 were mma but will most likely happen with Whittaker etc
Can't wait for the fifthology. They will be grayed hair. Wrinkled up guys still going at.
Man the American mobile/internet network is about as good it's cheese.
Chael scared me when I heard him CUSS. I felt Fear
Mejhcheecho 6:32 lmao
Rude Bwoy real badmon - wi giv thanx fi dis
Illia vs Volk at UFC 300
Long live Kale Zonin
@1:34::40 and there ya go seeing chaels true colors, the man is a company man and doesn't even care about fighters getting what they deserve even when he himself slwas a fighter, no wonder at the beginning of the talk chael literally said "I've robbed the bank"....I'll leave yall to figure it out because the fanboys are marks.😅
Justin has only lost to champions if you include Interim Champs as well
Illia Rizzpouria
Chaels cappin
CHAEL SONNEN!!!
Ilia girlfriend is GORGEOUS OMG
Elon is just mocking Zuck
No darts?
It’s people like Ariel the reason I turned my seen unseen off on my text
No darts with rude boy???
Spanish people listening to him describe a paella are dying inside
