Chael Sonnen talks his history with UFC and MMA legend Bas Rutten and his role in the Bare Knuckle Boxing scandal.
Out of all bald men, Bas Rutten has the best hair.
“I agree with this.” - Khabib
Homer simpson bro
Are there picture out there with him with hair? That would weird me out.
I think joe rogen has better hair for a bald guy.
Bas vs Cejudo who has the better head of hair.
Only Chael can do a 22min video in one complete sentence! #respect ✊
Pippinm7 this dude with no Ums and just an occasional you know.
Hahaha that is a perfect way to put it. I do like his story telling.
It has nothing to do with respect man and you should be embarrassed you even said that. That's what one gang banger says to another right before he takes his coat and shoes.
This comment makes this video 100 percent better. now its 120 percent.
I love this comment, I need this comment, I crave this comment, and I can’t handle the truth. Thank you
"I can't help but notice that you never thanked me". Pure Chael gold.
fIrSt
Love uncle cha cha
@@soldatwalmart9515 ill like your comment if you erase it so i can be first
Conor McGregor naw man i already showed my mom
Yeah Chael is a lot smarter than other fighters.
Came for a fight story, left with sound financial advice.
That's exactly what I took from this 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 gonna start answering that phone
Same here.
Same this is growth ❤️✊🏾
I could not click fast enough to listen to a story with 2 heroes of our time.
Living legends
I stopped having sex to click this video
Same
Titans walk among us
Got me 2 brother, like a magnet
I was waiting for that "O.K. Great"
I’m pretty sure Chael’s liver was shaking
Chael “ok great” Sonnen
17:38
Ethan Waldrip Aye
Ethan Waldrip I’m like “hey, what’s up, hello”
Only Chael can stand 10,000 square feet away.. the rest of you just stand 10,000 feet away
Dem biceps.
You are rather astute sir.
Thanks for the laugh. They been tough to come by lately.
Hahahaa great comment mate 👍🏽
Chael is playing 5D chess, we are playing checkers
Bas in his younger days, was the master of the open palm strike.
And the liver kick
Bang da da bang da da bang
He would bitch slap your liver into a miserable non existence
Bas is all open palm strike outside the octagon.
He did a lot of his fighting in organizations that didn't allow closed fist striking.
Great story and it speaks volumes about you having his back. Bas is a stand up dude and he'll be ok.
THE BAD GUY DOESN'T ISSUE APOLOGIZES. Chael is going to BRING ALL THE HARM W/ THE LARGEST ARMS ON JUNE 14. MACHICA IS GOING DOWN. ONE MORE FOR THE WIN COLUMN , ONE MORE FOR THE HIGHLIGHT REEL AND ONE MORE THE BAD GUY
"You Never Thanked Me: The Chael P. Sonnen Story" -Directed by Sensei Segal
Damm you are a good story teller Keep them coming
Yeah I hate him but I still found myself listening
Legit lessons to be learned lol
@@NorthTexasEagle1989 You hate him?! youre in the wrong part of town, boy
I agree. Fantastic story teller. He should be a voice over for animation films. Great voice.
Wally Morgan, Indeed. I don't know much about him or who he is, or even about UFC or MMA, but once I started listening to him in this video I could not stop until the end, enjoying it all the way. I kept getting the feeling that he is way smarter than I will ever be (and being over 70 I know I'm on the downhill side), so he must be a good enough fighter to have not gotten hit in the head much. I especially appreciated how he uses just enough words to say what he means, and no more, like a very good artist painting a picture, or musician writing a song. Enjoyable.
Until he looked at your record and saw you never lost a round of fighting in your life
Cuz he never fought Bas...Bas was a fucking scrapper.
@@jamesordwayultralightpilot Chael sonnen beat Jon Jones and Anderson silva in their primes. Chael says he's the best fighter for the same reason they put warnings on cigarette packages. In that fighting chael sonnen may be hazardous to one's health
@@YodasChode I think you live on the moon, chael beat silva and Jones? Cmon bro... He lost, but showed he is great.
@@rvanr8921 I think you live on jupiter. Chael sonnen has never lost a round of fighting in his life
@@YodasChode but he has lost some fights though. It's only love to chael! But let's be real for a second.
Bas. Top tier. Legend. All round good guy. Oh and he knows how to have a laugh.
Eddie Brock great fuckin stories too
Eddie Brock no question Bas is the man.
Chael is that you? It must be because i just got a sweet deal on real estate! Thanks Chael! Why is my bank account drained?
u can find him in some older videos commenting. I. like to hear his view. lot Of video with him messing up fighter using palm strikes. 1 of the greatest in my opinion. never read anything negative about him.
...until he saw the LARGEST ARMS IN WEST LINN OREGON and immediately backed off.
Hungrytongues 69 bas is way more suited for a street fight than chael
The relief on Bas's face must have been funny. "im so glad cheal didnt beat me up"
@Hungrytongues 69 bas would win even with his baby arm let alone in 2006..... have you seen him fight? He would break chaels liver to mush
People are stupid. Bas is old as fuck, he has no cartilage any place in his body anymore for fuck sakes. I love Bas but he wouldnt do shit to cheal today. In a street fight in his prime Bas would win. Both prime in a MMA fight Cheal would grind him out easily. Different time periods in the game, Bas was first wave. Cheal was complete 2/3rd wave. Totally different levels of competition.
@RD400D78 prime vs prime. Bas has too many injuries now.
This guy is one of the best storytellers I've ever heard.
No pauses, no uhms. He is so so good!
Honestly get the best workouts listening to these longer videos, great motivator uncle chael 👍
I swear Chael needs to be a heel commentator for pro wrestling. Lol
I think he should just do this full time.
He would have a great career as a heel👍 fits his character perfect, he would not have to act at all, just be himself.
I'd be 100% down or a manager he can fucking talk and get under your skin. He's the perfect combination
He was when Global Force Wrestling was a thing. If you find any old episode of GFW Amped he’s one of the lead commentators.
He could still wrestle a bit as a manager too.
Thank you for not saturating your channel in ads
I notice that 💪🏽✅👌
Now that's a legendary move.
Brendan Schuabb any body lol
Not when I watched. Must be the socialist scumbag and evil dovial. Freedom. Lol.
Easiest guy to listen to ever! Best story teller/greatest wealth of knowledge. So glad Chael got out of the fight game before he lost his ability to think/speak/articulate/enunciate/and most importantly (remember) and tell stories!
Nice meta analysis. Have a comment on what he said? Geez what is up with commenters going on and on about the simple act of someone talking well
@@donsimons9810 to be fair, I know so many people that have never so much as taken a slap to the head that can't talk as well as this dude that has probably taken tens of thousands of hards blows to the head between fights and sparring, especially when you hear about how they used to spar in team quest back in the old days. It is quite impressive that Chael can talk this well
very interesting how the biggest mouth in the UFC is the most genuine down to earth guy. Chael you are a great role model, you must be a great father
If that title bait you faster that a best buy black Friday sale..... You're a man of culture
?
Hehe they dont get it...
Wow, you explained that perfectly... I'm so glad you brought some light onto this and did great supporting your friend
Man, I feel so bad for Bas and the fighters. Bas has been and will continue to be a positive ambassador for our sport. He will fight through this and come out a hero.
Good on you for standing up for Bas, he's a genuinely good human.
Thanks for standing up for El Guapo.
*You never thanked me* HAHA! You're hilarious! ✅😎
Dude!!..what you doing over here!!...legend commenting on legend!...love it!!
Finally someboby that understand that education listening on acid is gold;) I know u probably dont mean LSD acid, but it fits as I like to listen to Chael while on a heroic dose of Acid and is allways a pleasure when to descide
@@bobbyknoth6985 who is this dude?
The fighters lost out on a huge paycheck, but Bas seems like a victim of circumstances too.
He was the president. Usually, they take the heat.
Dogon Backwards correct, Dana always takes the heat as if he is an evil genius that conspires against our favorite fighter. Unless it’s 155lb, that weight class is debatable.
If you watch it .. Bas was never the president
everyone is a victim in a Cheal story
Niko Niko everyone?
More of this bro stories are gold! One of the best! Keep it lit amigo! 🔥
Great story and a good take on the situation. I really enjoyed listening to it.
The symmetry of the lights behind him pleases me.
behind his left shoulder our right those 2 light pieces. i dunno one should be longer it looks weird
🤬lol
Thought that on acid 😅💚
completely missed ur fighting heydays but man I appreciate ur content and what u bring to the sport with ur channel. thanks Chael! preciatecha bro!
You never thanked me for that- best apology ever
You are the first real antagonist of the UFC and I have been loving it since you started. My uncle is a very big martial artist so I was into Jui jitsu and kickboxing since a kid and love entertainment. Between learning personally from Mario Sperry and looking up to a guy like you, my MMA side of life is complete. Haha. Your the man Chael. God bless you and your family. Me and mine support your show big guy.
Mario Sperry is a stud. Very cool.
well said Chale I never believed for a second that Bas would ever try to scam or deceive a fighter under any circumstance
Blessed to be here so early for your video, thanks uncle chael
Best view and take on this unfortunate situation. When it was 1st published I was skeptical. But the way you built his character and integrity and further explaining his role and stance makes perfect sense. Thx Chael and hope Bas whethers the storm
I've watched a lot of interviews with Bas, he seems like an extremely genuine dude, that's pretty cool that you guys are buds.
You never thanked me? Hahaha chaels got balls that clank
Technically he has one ball, you need two in order for them to clang.
@Sukhdev Sohal Year 12 just speaking facts!
@Sukhdev Sohal Year 12 If his balls clang he would have competed without being juiced to the gills with trt, EPO and HCG growth hormones.
He has made it very clear that he has trombone sized stones
Good break down. Respect in Martial Arts is real, just like it is in life. 🙏🏻🥋
Chael postures up to Bas: *"I can't let you get close"*
Bas has always replied to me and ended with godspeed. Sure he ain't perfect but he's a stand up guy. He treats folks same as they treat him. Godspeed Bas and Chael
I think you are underestimating your wrestling sir. Thanks for yet another great video!
Really enjoy your monologues .well spoken ,articulate , good mental oversight .. creative regards B19
Really enjoy how open and straight forward you are. Keep it up!
LMAO you never thanked me. Bas prob was ready to blow.
Captain Buggy HAHA EXACTLY 👍🏻
Captain Buggy, Yeah, I was imagining what that must have felt like for a second. I was thinking, "You said WHAT?" (like when Maverick told Goose, "I'm gonna slow down and let him get closer ..." and Goose said, "YOU'RE GONNA DO WHAT???") Glad that all worked out OK with a happy ending. Hard to top having a great sense of humor.
Bas Rutten, with the liver shots and strategic principles he displayed in the Japanese Pride fights, might be the ultimate warrior on all levels. How can a man with such courage and ferocious kicking power also be gifted with such a charismatic persona? Even sublime thinker, German philosopher Nietzsche, I'm sure would have been a Bas fan, and sat front row to watch this UFC "laughing, lion" in the arena work his craft. Keep the stories and lessons from Bas coming Chael. We can all learn from Bas in fighting and in life, echoing the words of troubadour singer, Jimmy Buffett, in the song Changes in Lattitudes, Changes in Attitudes "..that if we couldn't all laugh, we would go insane." Martial arts bow of respect to you Chael for showcasing Bas stories!!!!
I legit went back to go back and watch Here Comes the Boom for Uncle Chaels appearance, I forgot how great that film was and Bas Rutten is a fucking amazing human being, thank you for making me rewatch that absolute gem of a film, legit popped when your scene cane up dude!
I love listening to Chael !..this is a great show!
Here at two views feel like uncle chale is just talking to me ♥️
Con Man he is, he sends his love and $5. Don’t spend it all in the same store.❤️
Well, except for that other guy
He is❤️
Okay great
I’m jealous. I hope when he’s done with you and the 2,348 people after you and in front of me, that I can at least get a hello.
2 legendary fighters, legendary men and amazing human beings!
Chael would be a good friend to have. Man you and Bas can talk - love listening to you guys. Is there a video of the two of you together?
Great video! I can listen to your insights all day.
(Chael try to shake Bas hand) “Thought you had a friend Boy, Aaaaah!!!!!” -Chael
Never was a huge chael as the fighter fan but as a person I respect your intelligence and your grind completely. Respect!
Do you not remember chael humiliating anderson for 4 rounds?
glad to hear you clear this up for everyone chael
Chael's absolutely right. Ive seen a situation like this before personally. Its also pretty common to look to anyone you can reach when it comes to ppl trying to get money they are owed. Ppl get angry and have no where to focus it. Then here comes Bas being honest and vocal, so ppl are turning their anger to him. Hopefully he can see that.
Sees a new 20 min Chael clip - busts 🥜 immediately
But where does your other nut sits into this🥜
Dammit , that was 20 minutes Great I'm late to training
Chael throwing in there that his house is 10,000 square feet. LOL GREAT story as usual. Bas is the man.
He should go into comedy
By far Chael, your biggest strength is your ability to tell stories/build narratives. Bravo.
I could listen to these all day, what a good content this channel have.
So what you’re saying Chael is that you and Bas are Facebook friends, and you both get alerted whenever it’s the other guy’s birthday. Incredible 🤣
I am also Facebook friends with Bas!
@@MrCharlesv361 Damn! How can I become facebook friends with Bas!? Special invitation only or??
@@buyerofsorts you first gotta diss him on TV
@@MrCharlesv361 Whats his fb?
Wish Bas all the best, sad to hear these stories about a legend I admire
loved the content. lots of heart in it
Great story...don't always agree with the attitude Chael has championed but he is legend and this is a great piece of it, thank you!
That's good you know better than to mess with Bas 😂
''waking up in the middle in the night with your hands covered in blood and you have no idea how it happened.'' Bass Ruten
@Jack Burton that is not a complete or fair picture of him. Yes, he was dominated when he first met wrestling so he went away and learned some. In the truest sense of a mixed martial artist he recognised his weakness and started incorporating it into his arsenal. So, to the original comment, Bas would be a monster if he came up now. Because he would study all the things that are normal nowadays. He was always open to new things. Listen to his talks about distance, tempo, traps etc and you soon realise he is no ordinary fighter.
"Heel to the balls!"
@Jack Burton lol, fair enough. I have a soft spot for bas. He was the guy that got me into mma
Lol no kidding..I would sooner jump in a pool full of starving sharks then mess with Bas.
Just found your channel, subbed immediately!!
Thx for not making us wait for the book to come out for such a good story.
Everybody knows what does happen , nobody knows what doesnt . Its good to see someone using their pulpit to point that out for a change . Nice job Chael . From across the river homeboy at trails end . Go Pioneers .
I love these videos. I always stop what I’m doing and watch these talks
Glad to see someone standing up for Bas. I hope Chael is right!
This is why I subscribe to this channel I love these stories!
It's about winning , being the best , and the honor of a fair fight with a skilled opponent.
Damn this is real shit, we love you Chael for explaining this
Chael dam this was a good video. I really feel for Bas on this. Sad but corruption happens all the time in combat sports.
That's Epic!! Ithink he could even be a better heel manager...with a whole new take on the Invasion angle...where he runs a stable of MMA background dudes and chicks..pull Rowdy Rousey in...get Angle on some Mentor angle..go after every belt! It would be golden!
I admire Chael Sonnen and intentionally looked up his opinion on Bas Rutten (both men are a legend, but of a different era....like watching football and trying to compare Joe Montana, Steve Young and Jimmy G as if they were all playing today) and I love the video! The mutal respect is amazing! Also, quick side point, when I was in my young to mid twenties, I knew deep down that "I have a ton of heart, a high pain tolerance, a love for fighting and that I'm strong"...... and as I would drive by Team Quest on my way to work from Tualatin to Hillsboro..... and, again, deep down I knew "if I walked in there, they would gladly teach me to fight if I wanted to.....but I dont have what it takes to be a champion." I just dont. maybe I did and it needed to be cultivated, but I would watch athletes at Team Quest working out everytime I drove by.....if I was opening the store, if I was closing the store.....lights were always on in there. It was awe inspiring and I wanted SO badly to walk in and give it a go. I didnt, however, but not because I was scared or thought I would be rejected (I knew the trainers there wanted to train, not belittle people for wanting to learn. they didnt expect everyone to be a champion, but they would expect determination. great people) ..... it's odd but I felt like me going in there to train would be me wasting the time and energy of real champions.
You're doing a good thing Mr. Sonnen, it was not Bas's fault but the Boss's. Bas is undoubtedly greatful to have you keeping the truth out there for him. The business of sports casting revolves around reputations.
In Mexico "El Guapo" means "the handsome",in Argentina"El Guapo"means "the guy with the big cuhones" .
@@recipoldinasty Jack's got a gun... Ooooh forgot about that aspect eh. Tisk tisk.
useless trivia: Guapo means good looking, in every spanish speaking country. Of course it can have a second meaning depending on the country you are using the expression El Guapo, but i dont remenber any argentinian using it in that way.
@Adam Hicks both are true in Bas’ case.
"Not really how this was supposed to go" 😂 pure comedy
Great story . Thanks . I always like a story with a twist.
Entertaining and like the self deprecating honesty ( if there be such a thing) Good show.
Instant subscription from me. Chael is a legend
Welcome! Your life will become progressively better from now on 👍🏻
You know I went to the same team quest as chael for years and I've never actually met him lol. Dude is actually kinda quiet and keeps to himself.
sat morning an a chael story.. life's good
Wow. Pure class and loyalty here Chael. Bravo to you, your stock goes up for life with shit like this.
Well explained Chael!!! "No good deed goes unpunished..." Which according to Wikipedia is a commentary on the frequency with which acts of kindness backfire on those who offer them. In other words, those who help others are doomed to suffer as a result of THEIR being helpful... Bas is a legend and a hero. Even in the era of the 1 hour news cycle, the "casuals" and the keyboard warriors, there is still a requirement for a REAL man. From what you've described, and from what I have read and heard from OTHER sources, (like your good self I am consumed by ALL things MIXED MARTIAL ARTS journalism, podcasts & general social media.... Bas was "SOCIALLY HACKED" His good nature was COMPLETELY taken advantage of. I believe that ALL followers of combat sport, should propagate Mr Sonnen's description of "The Bas situation" (Chael's NOT always the BAD guy, he is ONLY Colby Covington's REAL FATHER !😉, (JOKING MOFOS!!!) I believe WE should show the legend that is Bas, that we ALL have HIS BACK too... Let's show solidarity in OUR sport, forget about the Entertainment era or Hollywood pretentiousness, don't let ONE of OUR own get fucked over... Let's just get the word out there... Please share video... Thanks again Chael
I really like Bas hopefully he does more research in the future.
I enjoy most of chael's videos. he is great analysis commentator Too.
Good Stuff Chael, your real dude! Enjoy the history!
"I dont have a dog in this race." Its official! All these years people thought it was "I dont have a dog in this fight." Wrong! Chael said it so it is now race. Thats final.
Connor Phebus Dog races are common and dog fights are illegal so it makes sense.
Pretty sure he just confused 2 common sayings. Dont have a dog in this fight and dont have a horse in this race. Commonly confused
Both are correct and have been used forever.
@@carlosoliveira-rc2xt Your right but just like Tony Ferguson is the type of guy sayings uncle Chael has sayings to and they don't have to make sense but we get it he definitely maybe on purpose mixed them up. Maybe on purpose but definitely.
"Race" is the more cultured, high brow version of the metaphor. Dog fights have and continue to happen but they happen in the seedy underbelly of the world. Just food for thought.
" I too was hustled, scammed, bamboozled, hood winked, lead astray!!!" --Bas Rutten
Great help in life chael .. alot of people wont accept the call from the credit colllectors man up keep your pride everyone has a low point
Very intelligent and humble since watching these i have alot of respect for you
Chael is my uncle, actually hes everyones uncle!!! True story!
Chaels my father and my brother is kevin lee too, true story........
@Morning Sun Sparkles Dew on fresh grass khabib is my mom
God I love chael. The bloke can tell a yarn 😁. Also, if ever I get in trouble with the law, I'm having him as my lawyer
Awesome , i loved every minute of this !!
To me you're the original "bad guy". As eluded to in some of the comments. Im still amazed at how good you were at it all the while you were and still are a really cool, kind hearted and decent guy.
"I cant let you get close" Bas 'el guapo'
Chael's raw honesty, even when it's unsavory things he reveals about himself and his past, is very fucking cool. I'd trust him with my wife and my wallet.
Coming from the deep south I have to say I might leave you with my wife but never my wallet
My wife is ugly as hell boi

Much respect Chael, no one could have said it better!
When Chael speaks......I Listen! 👍💯
