His talent to overcomplicate simplest things is remarkable.
And I’m still clicking on the videos
Love Chael but his logic is so off sometimes.
@@sitonmuhdeckasshole nooooooo reallly
😂 Uncle Chael is a legend. He sounds so convincing though. He’s the type of guy who would sell ice to the Eskimo’s
I freaking love it 🤣 Chael is undefeated at "beating a dead horse."
Yes, I am a model Chael!!
Gaethje was known to be the hardest puncher in the division. Oliveira ate his punches clean, got right back up and continued pressuring forward. Gaethje was known to have a good chin. Oliveira took him down clean. It wasn't just one lucky punch either, it was a constant barrage of all kinds of strikes and grapples from Oliveira which landed. When Gaethje went down, it genuinely looked like Oliveira could do absolutely anything to him and just settled for a RNC. There wasn't even a contest on the ground. That is what everyone saw and that's why Gaethje is not in the conversation at all. Maybe he should be, but after those 4 minutes, no one is convinced or cares about that conversation. This is like saying that Chandler and Ferguson should have a rematch because that was a lucky kick, and quite honestly that's far more convincing than saying that Oliveira and Gaethje should happen again. Remember Oliveira's track record before this as well. Poirier was dominated. Chandler was knocked down almost in the same way as Gaethje, something which Gaethje himself couldn't do against Chandler. Nobody is making the mistake of doubting Oliveira after this, and the only fighting style which hasn't been tested against him in recent times is that of Islam Makhachaev.
Gaethje did knock Chandler down. Other than that you make a good case.
And ALL of the sudden "Oliveira is afraid of Islam now, and Islam has the right to call the shots, and to demand a fight in abu Dhabi". Those Islam fans are really delusional.
I agree with a lot of what you said but olivara absolutely did not just choose a rear naked choke, he had backwards triangle locked in but he put his foot on the wrong side and gaethje was able to very smartly pull oliveira's leg out and escape but as he was standing up his back was exposed and oliveria really had no choice but to go for a rear naked choke
Islam will defeat Oliviera.
To be fair he wasn't dominating Porier until he illegally hooked the glove which led him to get the mount. Dustin was piecing him up on the feet and avoiding going to the ground with him. Olivera basically grabbed him by the glove and forced him to grapple. Still like Charles but lets calm down a bit. The guy's got a lot of heart but anyone in the top 5 can get a W over eachother in that particular division. Not taking nothing away from Charles, just a killer division.
Khabib already had a plan with his late father. Go out there make it 30-0 and get out. But when his father died, I don’t know how serious his conversation with his mother when she ask Khabib to stop fighting and he promise it will be the last. His father’s plan was also to make Islam Makhachev a champion right after Khabib retired. Instead of fulfilling his 30-0 for himself, he took the role of his father for the next generation
Hasn’t Islam lost once, tho?
@@transcendingfitness9060 . Yes he has 1 loss. But what does that have do with this comment? He just said that it was his fathers plan for Islam to be the next champ. Not the next retired undefeated fighter.
We have a trip booked in July to find khabibs mom. We're going to try and change her mind.
@@bsar11 yeah, my question would be the same yours, what's Islam lost is to do with the top comment, lol
@@transcendingfitness9060 For Christ's sake learn to read. I'm embarrassed for adults like you.
Lets be real it is the fight to make
Its the only fight to make

The only fight I'm interested in seeing in the LW division right now.
Charles Oliveira fought 3 muderers in less than a year, dispatching them all. They don't look so menacing right now because they were soundly beaten, but before the fights, they were all "uncrowned champions". Charles Oliveira got screwed over in that scale thing, is well know now, specially because the UFC who is used to throw guys under the bus, is behind him now. And Islam wants to call the shots, fight for the title, fight in Abu Dhabi, and all his unbearable fans are on the same wagon. Islam best win is a short notice Dan Hooker. Yes he is the next best fight, but If charles wants to fight Conor for money, or if he wants to rest 6-7 months, HE'S IN HIS G*D* RIGHT.
islam best win was arman apranking wise it's hooker top 6 islam is getting the shot main event abu dahbi october 22 no one cares about ranking
Charles doesn't have the juice to call shots, his profile isn't big enough and the reason he wants to fight a cripple who hasn't won a fight since Obama was president Is because Charles and his fans know damn well Islam will take the belt from him. PERIOD!!!!
Facts
He didn't fought a wrestler in his level or higher. . He couldn't finish Tony if you remember . Why because Tony has skills in wrestling. . Charles scare to fight a good wrestler
dustin and justin have been exposed by habib that their ground game sucks look at what chandler did to charles on the ground charles needed the tko on chandler or he was screwd charles will have his hands full with islam
Still can’t believe none of the MMA “journalists” followed up on Dana saying Rogan told him not to make the fight…
they did watch the end of the press and there's a video of dc talking to dana backstage about rogan and islam lol you people messed alot
@@darkpath6674 I watched the entire post fight presser… DC talking to Dana backstage is not the media following up with Dana when they had him on the mic lol
then why did yiur write this comment if you saw em dana said everything also rogan told on his new podcast 1 day ago what he said to dana
Luckily more people probably heard Rogan talk after the event about how Islam is the only fight he's interested in at this point vs Charles.
@@fahadus charles has been fighting killers and is active. Islam needs more wins
Olivera smoked the number 1 contender in less than one round. No matter how he did it. He actually looked like he was on another level
He is just another horse!! 🤣🤣
In that same interview, Charles said he wanted to fight between November or December, specifically in Brazil. So he still intends to fight in 2022
will he make weight? hes missed weight five times now ..... only champion to ever not make weight. seems to me like hes fighting a weight class below were he should be.
@@youregrowingboof6187 Khabib didn't make weight numerous times, DC too. Nobody was there to give my man Charles a pass tho.
@@JonJon-pj9ly lmao, Khabib never missed championship weight while he had the belt
@@noktifero really?
@@noktifero He did miss championship weight though and was hospitalized to a point where he couldn't compete and DC just straight up cheated his way out of it. Also, GSP is actually the first guy to miss weight in a championship fight. It's just that nobody cared cuz he was fighting in Quebec.
Charles has fought 3 times in very close succession - I'd say he deserves a bit of a break - and that's not what Charles is saying - he said in his press conference that he would fight in December.
Chael is off some edibles or something.
He can't take the break for about a year because the title is vacant.. tho let's see if that time's enough to train his wrestling better, or come up with some plan to counter it
@@mohammadnashitsiddiqui2168 May-December is 6-7 months
@@mohammadnashitsiddiqui2168 I think that's where people make mistakes fighting khabib and islam....worry about your own offense and know your ground game is good enough to have threats of submissions to cause them to be more careful. Sadly most the others don't have those skills
@@JonJon-pj9ly that's kinda what I said.. that break might be insufficient if he can't get a good team to train wrestling, plus training camp at end. Worst case would be if he gets injured in camp, and 2 guys like Islam Dariush fight for the vacant title
In the most roundabout way in what only chael can provide, this was just a long form explanation as to why wrestling is superior to jujitsu while managing to still side with khabib and giving Justin a small thread of hope that in another dimension Justin didn't fumble and didn't get scared to engage.
Yeah. Justin avoids the ground game like the plague. Regardless of who he fights. It's too frustrating bc he knocks everyone down but never capitalizes. I'm no longer interested in watching Justin try to get lucky and knock them out or hope the opponent chooses to stay on his feet the whole match just exchanging punches. Once Justin isn't vertical anymore it's pretty much over. Haha
Funny Chael goes there considering he got on top of Silva and got 🔺️ choked the eff out lol. And Silva isn't even a top tier Bjj artist. We'll see how LETHAL Oliveira truly is when Islam gets on top of him (a mistake in my book). There's a reason Usman, Colby, and Woodley avoided the ground with Maia and Burns. The whole wrestling is superior to bjj is nonsense. At the highest level this does not apply. Normally, wrestling neutralizes striking, bjj neutralizes wrestling, and striking neutralizes bjj. A wrestling base with bjj is extremely lethal (essential combat sambo) but a bjj base with decent wrestling is also dangerous (combat bjj). This is gonna be a combat sambo vs combat bjj display matchup (atleast people think so. Charles might just have some stellar TD defense and keep it standing who knows). The issue is, Charles STRIKING and Muay Thai is at its highest level as well. He has the best grappling AND the best striking in the division. No doubt, Islam's wrestling is way better, but does superior wrestling really beat superior striking and bjj. I don't know. I don't think so.
@@andressoto739 he does not have the best striking in the division you’re having a laugh, Dustin was lighting him up on the feat, McGregor is a better striker also you just have severe recency bias
@@andressoto739 you haven't seen Khabib
@@CLairsoftFTW No bias whatsoever. Dustin only has better BOXING but not strikinga. Were you blindsided by the "knockdowns " that were actually rest periods? Charles worked the body severely. Dustin coming into the 2nd was gassed already. Charles KOd Chandler (Justin couldn't in THREE). He could have TKOd justin as well if he decided not to submit. And yes, I agree, Conor does have better striking. At the very least, the Conor that fought Alvarez.
Ok, Charles said he would like to come back in December … about 6 months from now. He never said he wants to go a long time without fighting.
@Brazilian Roy Jones nobory cares about that, everybody knows he is the champ and even dana himself was happy with the match. Arguing that he doesnt have the belt and therefore shouldnt ask for anything he wants when the guy is literally at the best moment of his career is just dumb.
@Brazilian Roy Jones everybody know who the real.champ is. Even Islam, and that's why he is calling Charles out. If Oliveira wants to fight only in December UFC doesn't have other option but wait. Cause who the hell Islam would fight for that vacant title?? Dariush is injured, and god know when he will be back. And the whole rest of top 5 Charles already beat. So, they will have to wait the real champ.
@@rodrigo-tj1gf the point he's making is that the weight that a belt holder's word has on who he's willing to fight isn't there. If he is presented with a fight, and he denies it, who knows what will happen. UFC only owes him a shot at the next title fight. Who knows what happens when he rejects it.
@@rodrigoangelo488 Islam will take the belt, no doubt about that.
Just make the damn fight Dana before Oliveira loses his belt and we miss out on the fight like we Did with Tony vs khabib lol
True!!!! I dont know why he waiting so long. The only talk should be either Dubai or brazil
Yes this is what I am saying!!
@@JOHN-zl5kw i get the feeling that the organization doesn't even want olives as champ so if it's gonna happen its gunna be Abu Dhabi
Yeah, i was rooting for oliveira to win against gaethje so that we can have islam vs oliveira. That would resemble to what khabib and tony fight would have looked liked. Relentless grappling against top tier bjj and anyone can come out on top. That is the only fight i am curious to watch.
@@DarkWarrior_1 same
Chael?!! Are you really trying to imply that people have “the wrong idea” about Charle’s BJJ/grappling abilities??🤦🏻♂️ You keep saying, “That’s just not what I saw..” For Christs sake man! have you never watched him fight before??? He literally holds the record for most submission victories IN THE UFC! All of us REAL mma fans 😂 were blown away that Charles stood and ultimately outboxed a man like Geathje on the feet because we already knew how incredible Charles can be on the ground. Apparently you still don’t know that yet.
You completely misunderstood and misinterpreted what he said. That went way over your head. And the nerve to call yourself a real MMA fan for being surprised that Charles would stand or be able to strike with Justin...smh that's just insane that you didn't realize that could happen but came on here to give criticism while doing nothing but exposing your true lack of knowledge in this sport.
He has also tapped out to guillotines ! Lol
It’s really quite simple Justin dropped Charles twice and could not finish him and follow up on top of him whereas Charles drop Justin Once and finish the job so who is the More well rounded fighter
Not to mention Charles exaggerated his falls as both traps for Justin and to get a respite. Come on there’s levels here. Much respect to Justin but he’s nowhere in Charles’ class. Charles has surpassed him by orders of magnitude. I mean Charles was comboing strikes into grabs into other grabs like he’s fricking king from tekken. The two can’t be compared. tbh I think Chael’s coping for his boy
El Mata summed it up pretty well, I would add tho, that when Charles dropped Justin he fell flat on his back, whereas Charles fell on his butt and immediately put a guard up. Charles had Justin hurt and got his respect in the first exchange, he had already taken plenty of damage when he fell as well, while Charles didn’t suffer as much cumulative damage as he fell from the first punch Justin landed, iirc, and an intercepting uppercut. Not to say explosive damage doesn’t trump cumulative damage, but the explosion has to be strong enough while cumulative damage wears the body down more. Combining both is deadly. - Max hollaway - cumulative damage Conor Mcgregor - explosive damage Dustin Porier - both This^ might be some cheap MMA math, but it’s one way of looking at it.
@@elmatasesues3630 Maybe the delayed one he fell down on purpose but the first one he straight up just got dropped
@@aidanloveridge1721 💯
@@aidanloveridge1721 lol no he didn't. All the best fighters are acknowledging this. You're just behind the times. Watch how Justin fell when he got knocked down and then compare that with when Charles got "knocked down". Charles skillfully fell I guard and immediately hopped up with ZERO wobble or sign of being shaken up and IMMEDIATELY pressed forward with a savage barage of offense. Izzy live fight reaction, not even from replays, live fight reaction, said the same thing. He's like "ya Charles just does this to play possum and reset". You think you know better than izzy? The best fighters in the game have more respect, but when you're on your couch on your phone, it's hard to imagine yourself in such a high level fight iq situation
I just watched your other two videos this morning as well. This is all quite interesting. What a trip, huh?!? I would personally love to see Charles Oliveira v.s. Islam Makaechev.
Charles striking is underrated, but there's a huge difference; When Charles gets stunned he goes to the canvas to recover and Gaethje, and most nobody else is willing to follow him. When Gaethje gets stunned, Charles has no problem going to the ground with him. Gaethje got submitted because he was completely helpless on the ground against Oliveira. Oliveira threw submission attempts at him faster than he could defend. He goes for the RNC but it's defended so then he switched to arm bar, triangle, and back to RNC within 10 seconds and Gaethje is still defending the arm bar. The reason Gaethje isn't getting a second shot is because he came in sloppy. Every punch he threw was some ridiculous unbalanced haymaker. He thought he could just KO Charles. Sure the striking created the opportunity, but his BJJ is what sealed it. Moreover, don't think Charles won't do stand up BJJ if he can't get you down or tempt you into his guard. From what I saw I suspect Charles would reverse any bottom position within 20 seconds.
Great analysis
Islam overcame Thiago, who's known for his BJJ and actually submitted him so i don't think Olivera's scaring you with his BJJ tactic is going to work on Islam
@@Wertyxl comparing Thiago to the man with the most submission finishes in ufc as well as most finishes in ufc history as well if I am correct. Apples to oranges buddy reason Thiago isn’t top 10 and the champion has a name, it’s charles Olivera
@@Wertyxl It's all speculation at this point but Charles has the most submission wins in the UFC, it's a little different than Thiago. It will be an interesting fight though I'm sure.
And if Charles beats Islom, he'll have proved himself to be better than kahlblib, not only because Islom has a similar level of wrestling, but because Kahliblib only ever fought strikers, and was never tested by a truly great grappler.
Justin got dismantled . His fighting style was taken apart by Charles.. Those leg kicks were getting completely dodged, and on top of it he beat him at his own game(stand up).
oliveira was never dropped by Gaethje. He was trying to bait justin
Did Cheal just say to chalk up Charlie Olives effective striking as lucky? The same striking that was on display against chandler and porier? And that Charlie Olives didn’t display his BJJ when he effectively used striking and position before submission? Well it must be true cause Cheal said it. Undisputed and undefeated.
Cheal is right tho
People thik it was a one-punch thing. Go and rewatch the fight. CHarles hit justin head many time, landed knees, knees to the body, to the face... You could see Justin wobbling, missing shots, tired as we've never seen him in mid first round.
And literally all Justin had was the 2 punches (albeit knockdowns) but Charles recovered fast af Aside from that it was a pretty dominant win
Justin was just fighting stupid. He was loading up so much , he was off balance
Oliveira actually seems to go on his butt to recover for a moment if he gets hit hard, same than for example Werdum was doing. His BJJ skills kept Gaethje from taking advantage of the top position. Gaethje got caught, went to floor and he didn't have the same advantage and got submited. In this way BJJ still is very effective in MMA I would say. Even if the other guy goes to ground, good BJJ guy can clinch and survive for the next round more likely with lesser damage. Mr. Sonnen is right that submissions from the back are little more rare nowadays, but being good BJJ player can do reverses, create transitions take the back or to get up. Of course Demian Maia as prime example. Gathje going to ground after Oliveira would have been a risk, since he can create opportinties to attack the neck and the back with decent likelihood. So cannot say Gathje did totally wrong when backing out of the guard.
Imagine Olievera did that going on his back for a rest when fighting with a master of GNP like Khabib, he would eat a lot of elbows n punches, i guess
@@Rlouis367 ya well khabib ain't gaethje. Who Said Charles would use the same strategy against a khabib? Did you see Charles fight iq? He's not stupid. He's not gonna apply this move as a one size fits all shoe. And who says khabib has the hands to even hit Charles hard enough? He just knocked out chandler, choked out Dustin, and could have tkod Justin, but chose to choke him out. Those are the heaviest hitters in the division. He beat all those guys in less than a year. This current Charles is doing things nobody has done.
@@Rlouis367 so ya, obviously that wouldn't be a smart move against khabib. But on the feet, Charles would be the one knocking khabib down. His hands have that fire right now. He knocked out chandler and could have tkod Justin if he wanted to. Justin looked like he woke up from a coma on the canvas after he hit the floor from that right hand of Charles. Khabib said Justin is the hardest hitter he's ever fought, and look what Charles did with that. Charles hardest hitting lw? I think so. He knocked out chandler and Justin couldn't do it with Michael walking with his hands down
DoBronx matched Gathje's power by putting him down. He expended a lot of energy trying to finish Charles and got caught and got finished faster than Khabib finished him. He was no match for him. Great fight.
He can’t lay on the floor against Islam. Islam is not afraid of any bjj. Charles goes down and he will jump right on him.
Chael please release an additional video that is all of these clips in the same long video I would love to listen to all of these in a continuous fashion and I'm not alone
Charles is a monster dude he impresses me everytime he fights and I knew he would submit Justin that’s the only way I believed he was gonna win
the punch dropped Justin. He could have ground and pound.
@@lukeinman9293 you are right
@@lukeinman9293 I don’t think so, If Charles went straight to ground and pound I believe Geathje would have recovered. The BJJ is why it ended so quickly on the ground.
@@eveningstar7812 u gotta admit it was over pretty quickly
That dude is on something. He got hit big time by Poirier & Gaethje and it didn't even phase him. No one in the division has that capability...and Oliveira didn't have that capability for a ling time either. Gotta remember, there's a lot of $ when you're at the top!
It's hilarious that Chael keeps saying jujitsu from the back never works. Chael, would you like to tell us what position you were in when Anderson Silva subbed you in your first match, after you'd knocked the snot out of him for nearly 5 rounds straight?
Justin didnt attempt to take Charles down - Justin didnt follow Charles to the ground after knocking him down twice. Charles tapped/choked out Justin less than 30 seconds after getting his back. A+ observation Chael.
We all knew it was over as soon as Oliveira had him on the ground
@@carlhewitt5958 I checked the clock when they hit the ground, saw two minutes and declared gaethje done.
Justin avoids the ground game like the plague. And he's supposed to be an all American wrestler? Pssh. He always let's ppl back up after knocking them down and never capitalizes on it. Justin may as well go to boxing instead of ufc
I think for an immediate rematch argument you need one of two things. Lack of options or a really competitive first fight Justin unfortunately is in a division with a bunch of killers, and preformed poorly.
Charles striking is highly underrated, he took out Chandler Clean, went a boxing stand up with the best or arguably the best boxer in mma Dustin & Knocked out Justin in a Stand up match before he was submitted.
What are you talking about? Dustin outboxed Charles, go watch the fight again. Charles didn’t have anything against Dustin other than do what Khabib did and submits Dustin. Khabib showed how to beat Dustin and Justin and that’s what Charles did.
@@travistravis3620 Khabib didn't showed anything are you blind? Charles took Dustin back and that is Charles own signature submission. Khabib NEVER did something like that.
@@travistravis3620 what I saw is Charles go fist to fist with Dustin.. Dustin couldn’t land anything special for what he is known for … I don’t need to see that fight again mate, Charles beat the shit out of him … tell me I am wrong?
@@travistravis3620 you’re a Khabib fan … the way They both finished Dustin was completely different both has different style, Charles striking Superior. You don’t know shit about MMA
Everything changes when you have a grappling threat. Oliveira knocked down, he’s just ready for guard and no one wants to engage. Khabib has a chin and he’s good at retreating. You go crazy looking for finish, he shoots a takedown. That’s why MMA is so interesting.
The era of Charles Olivera is over soon as he meets Islam. That will be this year.
Uncle Chael being a True American by heart, wants Justin to have another title shot😂😂 but no ways he's getting another shot after Tapping out.. If I was to say, In his own Words "Once a QUITTER, always a QUITTER.. 😅
It’s time we face the cold hard truth. Justin is not good on the ground. Despite what he’s done in his past, for the past two years, Justin has looked lost on the ground. Against Khabib, Justin looked lost. Against Charles, Justin was put away in 30 seconds. Justin is not a top-tier athlete at 155 pounds on the ground. That is a fact. There is no evidence in the last 2, 3, 100 years that Justin is an elite wrestler in the UFC. He had a lot of success in college, and he was a great wrestler. But in the UFC where is the evidence. There has been plenty of fights where Justin could have wrestled, but he did it. That tells me that he can’t. I don’t know if this is some tragic flaw by Justin, saying that he won’t wrestle because he wants to entertain. I don’t know what it is, but you cannot hop around the fact any longer. Justin looks lost on the ground. Against Khabib he got put away in less than a minute on the ground. Against Charles he got put away in less than a minute on the ground. It’s like he gives up, it’s like he quits once he gets taken down or Charles got on top of him. We can’t keep acting like Justin is some elite wrestler with good ground game when he has yet to show it in the UFC. We can’t keep acting like there’s some untapped potential that Justin keeps refusing to show, we need to accept the fact, we need to accept the truth. Justin‘s ground game is it what we I think it is.
Justin always was a defensive wrestler even in college, plus his bjj isnt good thats why he never wrestles offensively. You could see his takedown defense against Chandler. U just need to make a difference between good Wrestling (which he has) and good grappling/No Gi jiu jitsu (which he does not have at all)
I would even go so far as booking Islam - Chandler as soon as possible. An apparent superhuman vs a surging boogeyman, Winner has unmistakable spot as one of the best and their next fight is with either Oliveira after his layoff or the winner of an earlier Oliveira vacant title fight
They're all good fights.
Say it LOUDER! Winner of Islam/chandler get to fight Charles end of year in Brazil. This way better then Benny and Islam since Benny won’t be ready till October/November
I don't hate this idea but at the same time people shouldn't have an issue with Islam getting a straight title shot. Chandler got a title shot after beating Dan hooker in his first UFC fight. Islam beat Dan as well recently and is on a 10 fight winning streak. In one of the toughest divisions in MMA. Also I am not sure Chandler would fight Islam Rn. He is looking to get another title shot and considering his age if he loses a couple more times he will no longer be in the mix. To be clear not saying he is scared. But it not in his best interest to fight Islam rn.
chandler ducking him
@@GotMyDickInYaMouth Islam is a bum
The difference between rose vs weili 1, and the other fights chael named compared to oliviera vs gaethje is they got knocked out with a single shot. Oliviera stumbled gaethje and then took advantage. They both wrestled and at one point Gaethje even got out of a triangle olivira tried to put him in. It wasn’t just a “lucky” shot he landed. oliviera stumbled Michael chandler too.
And weili was the Champ so of course she gets a rematch

YOU’RE WRONG on this one Chael: a) Gaethje DIDN’T knock him down, Oliviera pretended to be knocked down which Justin saw right through. b) Charles HAS displayed precisely the same one punch power before, most recently against Chandler, and c) It’s his COMBINATION of striking and BJJ that make him supremely dominant 👊🏽🇧🇷🤓
Early congrats on 1 million subscribers Champ, another one for the Bad Guy. Still Undefeated and Undisputed 🐐
Sorry, I just unsubscribed due the LIEs & Confusion he continues to spread thru out the mma community.
Chael we both know khabib tell no lie
Charles is the most complete fighter in the LW, he can punch, he’s jiu-jitsu is top level, he’s leg kicks with his knees are insane! There’s no fighter in LW division more complete than him! Let’s be honest
Well his defense is questionable, he's been dropped *6* times in his last 3 fights
Islam? Only issue with Charles is he gets hurt too much.
Dude Charles didnt even need to grapple he straight up outstruck Gaethje, it was a dominant striking display. That leaves even less of a case for a rematch
Not dominant
He got dropped twice. Gaethje was just reluctant to go to the ground and finish him off. It gave Charles enough time to recoup. He's just like Tony , his recovery time is pretty solid but that's gonna wear out because just like Tony he takes a lot of damage on the feet.
@@max7even284 more like he chose to go to the ground to take little recovery brakes, knowing that gaethje wouldn’t follow up on the ground.
@@kanwarsingh6968 he got dropped early, but then started defending every leg kick, controlled distance, clinch and entries, rocked gaethje a couple of times, fucked him up with body blows, knocked him down and finished it. It looked like a firefight that could go to any side but if you look closely Charles had the fight under control pretty much the entire time. Sure it wasn't Anderson Silva vs Forrest Griffin, but it's as dominant as anyone has ever been against Gaethje. Good enough to make a rematch feel dumb, even if Gaethje has a chance
Israel dismantling Paulo Costa, volkonovski vs zombie, thats what a striking dominance is.
6:23 I will tell you what i saw. Even though Gaethje was put on the canvas by strikes, once he was there he had absolutely no submission defence. You can say that he was rocked which made it easier for Charles, but we saw the same thing in the Khabib fight. It looked like he didnt have the first clue of what to do when he was on his back. Gaethje has a massive hole in his game, and he relies on his excellent take down defence to cover up that hole. We all just saw what happens when the TD defence is removed from the equation and someone with great grappling gets him down. And it was over quick
He fought the best of the best. Oliveira and Khabib was too quick in advancing position
The worst part is, they were pushing Justin's wrestling background before the fight. I really don't think Justin has a clue how to wrestle anymore.
Justin, Dustin and Chandler have had a shot at the title. Why not give Islam or Beneil a chance? Stylistically I think Islam vs Oliveria is a better fight than Dariush vs Oliveria. Let Beniel fight against the winner for the title, we're in no rush, Beneil being Islam's first title defence would be great too.
You’re right but it should be the opposite dariush first imo
Because who did Islam beat in the top 10
exactly , darioush fricking broke his leg , how stupid are those people who say islam should wait for dariush and fight him first , the guy is injured it could take even a whole year , he certainlyand repeatedly said i need MORE TIME, he unavailable for now what people can not understand ???!
I like this. Make Islam vs Beneil a title fight. Fans love Islam and Oliveria. This path puts a real mean line between the two audiences.
@@samalzid1560 I didn’t even know he legit broke his leg?? I thought it was an unannounced injury
P.s. Chael lost to a triangle choke. That’s not a wrestling triangle choke
Well Charles wasn’t beating top 5 guys until Tony (was Tony still top 5 when they fought?) Islams biggest win was Dan Hooker. Charles should give Islam the shot. Why would he want Islam to fight Benny first? If he’s fully confident that he can beat Islam, he should book it for December and go for getting his belt back. Charles got the shot after Tony. Islam can get the shot without fighting Benny. Honestly I would like to see Chandler fight Islam next but then that means a longer wait for Charles to fight for the belt.
💯 EXACTLY.. And Charles want to fight in DEC (7 month resting) acting like he is Champ who have belt..🤦♂️ Those guy is really don't want to admit they scared of Islam..Islam man handle Dan #6 in 1st Round kimura..But Charles only get Decision with Tony..
Trust me Charles is scared of Islam, he knows he can lose against him. People say he’s a humble guy but he’s not.
I wouldn’t say “scared” is the right word. If he really thinks Islam has a chance at beating him? He might be concerned but I doubt he legitimately feels fear at the thought of fighting Islam.
So you think islam loses to benny? Cause i do
@@yeonu8228 I like Dan hooker but that win has not aged well
I think pure jiujitsu is overhyped for MMA, but Gaethje was scared of it and Charles was confident enough to pull guard and (I think) fake getting knocked down to get Gaethje to jump on top. Olivera is spooky.
The first one was like a half knockdown, but your point is correct. Whenever Charles gets hit with a relatively hard shot, he goes to his guard. He’s very smart by doing this because if he stays on his feet, he risks getting hit with even more hard shots. When he goes to guard the fight goes where he wants it. He’s such a smart and inspiring champion.
@@yrn_glucose true but the difference is Islam will be more than happy to go to the ground with oliveria, Islam will take it to the ground and neutralize oliverias jujitsu so if Charles thinks he will bully Islam on the ground like he does the other guys then his elite jujitsu might get exposed I'm just saying.
Hi Chael, just wanted to say that whenever you post video about Khabib, i really appreciate it. He is a true champion and always GOAT. He has huge fan base in Asia. Nevertheless, You are a good fighter and nice human being too. You are doing a great job. Keep up the good work. Lots of love and blessings from Uttarakhand, India 🇮🇳
Fanboy tf
I realize he’s your islamic hero which is 100% understandable but you understand he fought guys way smaller than him
@@jakemac1396 Rahul Kumar is a hindu name bro....
@@jakemac1396 Buddy, please do your research before commenting. India 🇮🇳 is a Hinduism country. I am a true Hindu, not Muslim. I appreciate Khabib regardless of his religion and beliefs. He is truly the GOAT because of his skills, talent, hardwork, no trash talks and just pure raw talent. He is without any doubt the best fighter/champion pound to pound under 155 lbs.
@@RahulKumar-dn7ie go and watch cricket 🏏 brother
Khabib was right also when he said "tony is finished, he took too much damage and will never recover " after the dustin fight. He has been losing epically
Chael’s favorite pastime is dismissing bjj, combat sambo and judo… because ‘rasslin’
Chael, Charles was beating Justin with angles and combos so hard that when Justin took the punch that knocked him he was already flustered and heavily damaged. Not at to do with ‘catching’ or getting ‘caught’, wildly different than RoseVsWeili. Tony got caught, are we getting a rematch?
This guy is over complicating every single small thing that does not need to be complicated. Why should Justin get a rematch because of what happened in a similar situation all those years ago? The sport has moved on , Justin blew his chance and gets to go to the back of the line. Also, Charles striking set up his excellent jujitsu which is why Justin didn’t follow him to the ground. Please find yourself a hobby and stop trying the elucidate every single sentence a fighter utters
This is literally Chael’s whole shtick. If you don’t like it don’t watch. It’s only going to be more of the same
This is a rambling masterpiece
Chael “jiu jitsu off your back doesn’t work. “ Chael was submitted a whole bunch of time by someone off their backs.
I agree with you Chael,,,,
me too.
I just watched greatness.
Makes 2 of us
Makes 3 of us
I can’t believe chael is almost at 1 million subs let’s go I can’t wait to see the mill
DoBronx the focal point of five Chael vids in three days. Gotta be some kind of record.
Oliveira was in a lose/lose situation on Saturday and ended up coming out a winner. Never would've guessed Gaethje would be dropped and strangled in less than a round. it's like Oliveira is shitting on Khabib's legacy by finishing Poirier and Gaethje faster than he could, now he's about to fight Khabib's best friend and his father's favorite protege. If he knocks Islam out, Charles is new 155 GOAT
Well in order for that to happen, Charles needs to stop running and calling out a fighter who hasn't won a fight in 5 years.
I warned people that if Gaethje got rocked he'd be in trouble. Charles knows how to close the show.
@@dhm5675 so fighter who fought gaethje chandler and poirier in 1 year scared from makhachev..the fighters scared is the worst narrative in mma sport ever
How is he shitting on Khabibs legacy? Charles came out bloody after each of those fight. Khabib came out with clean face, rdy to shower and attend wedding…
Lol nice joke, check Khabib after those fights compared to him, not even a scratch. And he should call out for Islam instead of avoiding him, only him can possibly be a challenge to him and he knows it.
So I have a question that I'd love to hear your opinion on......at this point given the last two loses that Dustin and Justin have for the belt with two losses do they have the cowboy curse meaning can't show up when the lights are the brightest????? Also am I the only one who felt like Justin was refighting the khabib fight even losing the same way
I'm really hoping somebody 20 years from now releases 2lp vinyl with Chael's best speeches. Undisputed Undefeated! ....(also I hope that the double LP vinyl ends up in some futuristic museum 2000 years from now as the only item left from the 21st century)
Chael, it would be absolutely EPIC if you got a press pass and could ask questions at the pressers and such.
everyone respects the hell outta his ground game but now theyre gonna finally start respecting them hands too
Charles wants to fight again by the end of the year, thats what he really said. He's already had 3 fights in less than a year. Why try and make him look bad and spread misinformation uncle Chael?
He’s been biased against Charles from the jump. He’s a Dana white shill. He calls him olives ffs
@@FaZeMandTaZeM to be fair Charlie Olives has a hell of ring to it😂
Chael, I like the kicks. what kinda shoes are those brother I need me some
You see people calling out everyone but no one calls khabib out because they know there are levels.
The reason makachev hasn't fought for the championship is they know he literally won't lose dude is khabibs right hand man.
I seriously question that meaning as much as people think, as there’s a lot of next big things ushered in by world beaters. Makachev is very good though can’t argue with that.
@@redacid97 with that fighting style , if he understands how to hold to ppl on the ground all fight and pound out everybody in the division it means a lot , and the fight with Charles would show us what level Islam actually is on . But let’s just be honest , nobody ever figured out how to stay on their feet against Khabib so they still don’t have a formula for Islam .
@@redacid97 people are ducking them for a reason.
How is Charles saying he's not gonna fight when he's been the most active champ in the last year. Also last I checked Charles called out McGregor which tells me he does want to keep fight9ng
My favorite game to play with myself is, “can I remember the title of this chael sonnen video” after every installment. Undefeated!
I can agree we even saw Oliveira attempt guard from the standing position and fail which takes away from the dominant grappling suggestion.
Chael you make 10 videos a day but have never commented or gave a heart to any commenters
“This is the Way”
chael backs up for a second so often he never actually moves forward
He can’t let you get close
Can't let you get close, thats all
Olives hands and techniques are top notch his jitz is so good people overlook how good his stand up really is. Fight iq is top tier....it's wierd because he's super hittable but his plan always comes together last couple fights when someone almost kos him. Every time he fights it gets more exciting the breakdowns get more interesting. It's like chael is saying the great champion evolves to eventually not make his own standard set. Money makes less hungry.
Justin has one of the best tap/nap combos in lightweight history. Respect
Chael is never letting this go…. And I’ll never stop watching him not letting go 🤣
,,, - The GOAT of MMA
I do agree that most people with high level grappling are hard to submit off their back in 2022 but gaethje was clearly avoiding going on top with Oliveira I think he can submit or at the very least reverse alot of people in the ufc and his grappling was better than Justin's but I agree the striking made it all happen more so than the grappling
Chael “it’s one of those things” Sonnen
Eleven fights, eleven wins, in less than 4 years. If Charles wants to wait until 2023, so what? The year is almost half over. Early 2023 isn’t absurd, at all. Show me another champion with 11 fights in less than 48 months. Over that same time period, Izzy is 9-1, Volk is 7-0, Usman is 8-0.....NOBODY would say those guys aren’t busy.
Hey Chael if you ever see this; Any comments on Canelo loosing to Bivol? I mean it can affect 170 as Kamaru Usman may no longer be interested in any potential macthes (Might be lapping around the division as he doesn't wanna move up). At the same time Chandler might move to 170 and Nathen Diaz and Conor may already fit into 170 as well.. Any thoughts?
The style match up might be the best match up ufc has ever put together
Chael: I didn't see any BJJ Bro you so your telling me you didn't see that beautiful guard pull from the clinch????
I think Islam should get the opportunity just because if he gets beat then Benny get the next shot so then we possibly have the next two opponents for Charles
Islam beats Oliveira and then Dariush could conceivably fight him for the belt.
@@jamesnm21 I don’t really care who wins that fight it’s just my opinion on who should fight Charles first so they don’t have to fight each other first
@@stanthedemigod8114 it's better for Dariush at any rate.
@@jamesnm21 yeah he did say he needed more time but Charles said he wants to fight in December khabib said in October for Islam and he also said in fight island but Charles said he wants to fight in Brazil so that’s probably the only thing stopping it even if Charles says no he kinda has no choice because he’s not champ
the reason there's no talk of Gathje going to fight him again Chael is because Gathje would lose to Porier if anybody is supposed to fight Charles twice its probably Dustin. although i don't think that's what should happen.. Islam just beat bobby green, Benelli beat Tony. if they aren't going to fight they should give the fight to the one who fought the tougher opponent at the very least.
At this point Bobby Green beats Tony so lol
@@arturoreyes5220 lol dont do tony like that
CHAEL UR A POLITICIAN AT HEART
Chael... is a jiu jitsu match a fight? And why? I always go back and forth between yes and no and would like to know your opinion. Thanks.
They moved on because Justin Gaethje already had two title fights and lost by basically getting dominated by his opponents. That fact is, the UFC wants to see something else.
Justin only wants to brawl. We’ve seen what this looks like in two separate title fights and they were submissions. At the highest level, Justin’s style doesn’t work. We need Islam or Beneil to challenge Oliveira because the 155 belt needs a different look. They are the guys who can match Oliveira’s style. Justin is a great fighter, but his narrow-minded fighting style will only take him so far
Chael we aren’t done with the lightweight division yet either, we need more content
Almost at 1 million subs Uncle Chael. Keep rambling your way to making a living.
“Justin is afraid to go to the ground for reasons I don’t know”. I feel as though perhaaaaaaps his hesitation is based on his history of being choked out by superior wrestlers. Lol. I love Justin. Let’s all be honest here though. Chael, I love you. We all do. But not even YOU, the patron saint of fence riding, can ride a fence THAT hard without hurting your nuts. Lol
Chael's ability to use 5,000 words instead of 50 is remarkable. He sounds like that kid that didn't do his report, and is trying to stretch out his presentation.
LMAO
Charles literally said he wishes to fight in dec in Brazil. Speaking about the frequency of his fights, he`s quite an active fighter usually 2 fights per year.
"I can't let you get close"... Black belt confirmed.
If Charles was still the belt holder then he could wait six months, he has already defended it twice this year. Is there some rule somewhere that puts a time limit on a vacant belt ? Can islam makhachev vs beneil dariush get done this year ?
Dariush is injured , so earliest will be October
They are scared to give Makhachev a chance at the belt cos he may never give it back like Khabib by never losing
respect
0:01 "Guys lets back up a second."
Chael never saw Anderson’s triangle choke coming either. Fair point by me.
It's not complicated. The same rules that stripped Charles also grant him the right to fight for the belt at his very next fight. Charles has said for his next fight he accepts to fight the winner of Islam vs Dariush. Now Dana can choose to present a different opponent and that could be Conor or Gaetchje or Chandler, etc. But Charles has some rights as the result of missing weight and getting stripped and no one fights for the title unless he's part of that fight. Maybe it should go to court. Let the lawyers fight for the title😂
i dont get the point of stripping him then, cause he is automatically fighting a championship fight that if he wins he is champ, if he losses he is not, if they didn't strip him he is fighting for the championship and if he wins he is champ, if he losses he is not. Doesnt seem like a real punishment for making weight.
Charles can't call shots like that because #1 he doesn't have the belt #2 his profile isn't big enough. Charles is running scared of Islam but won't have a choice when Dana announce its Charles vs Islam.
@@dhm5675 To say charles is running scared of Islam after he beat 3 guys consecutively that have resumes 10x better then that of Islam. But yes, Charles, a trained professional Mixed Martial Artists who's #4 P4P in the world is scared to fight Islam. A guy who beat a rank 15, pretty much unranked Bobby Green & a Dan Hooker on a loosing streak. Nice 😂😭 #ClownsofMMACommunity
@@dhm5675 but he can call the shots Dana said that without Charles there is no title shot so Charles gets to pick and choose especially after that performance against Justin. It’s a weird situation with him being the champ and having benefits but isn’t officially the champ at the same time
@@sunwukong7214 there is a thing called being stripped if you don't fight, in this case he'll lose his number 1 contender spot and be replaced. Charles will be labeled a coward who was running scared of Islam. So no, Charles has zero juice to pick and chose who he fights. This is UFC not boxing
Every video I ask, "how does he manage to do it? How does he manage to get 10+ minutes out of a simple statement". I'm afraid I'll never get the answer.
This is the only fight to make.
Oliviera/Makachev Chandler/Dariush(both last wins were against El Cucuy) Sorier/CTEgaethje or CTEgaethje/Green or Green/Sorier ElCucuy/TheHangman Mitchell is in the mix too..
