@sweynforkbeard8857

Жыл бұрын

I would agree with that. Another underrated person is Pat Miletich. The sport up to that time was largely ground skill focused. Pat denied the takedown and made the good ground fighters fight standing up. It was the opposite of the Gracie strategy. I also admire Ben Askren because he actually applied wrestling in a way that denied the submission specialists any positional advantage through the use of the half mount and side control.

Chael , much respect for the description of a fighter 👏👏 . You made a great point with each "game changer " from your list. As a martial art trainer myself, i can only confirm the joy and happiness i felt when one of my athlete who " I raised" from a little kid to a young adult becomes a champion ( national or international). But when that athlete becomes a "fighter" also , i feel that i have achieved my purpose as a trainer and that feeling is priceless ! Greetings and all the best wishes from Romania.

I love you adding Marco Ruas to this list, I still remember how he essentially won a fight while in the clinch and punishing an opponents feet with foot stomps. I forget who it was but the guy was so focused on avoiding his feet getting stomped he never settled into good striking or setting up solid takedowns. It was amazing.

Chael is well spoken and spot on in everything in this video. Man you are praising people who are sometimes not appreciated enough and I am 100% with you on GSP being the greatest fighter ever in not only skills but how you define the word fighter. Nothing but respect for a man who has done what you have done in the sport, yet if I was new to this channel and your name I wouldnt even have a clue about your resume.

Totally agree on the Randy comments. Love what he brought to MMA. Great list and stories. You may have already talked about him previously but I am curious about your thoughts on Ken Shamrock. I was watching the sport at the beginning and I have always felt that Ken was the necessary nemesis to Gracie. Maybe not as skilled in submission but a formidable foe for that time.

great list uncle chael , my list would be the following : 1-Royce Gracie (the true pioneer who changed many minds) 2-Frank Shamrock (the first complete fighter ,he was basically george st pierre before gsp) 3-kazushi sakuraba & Emelianenko Fedor (I know I mentioned 2 mma fighters but they were so skilled and gifted during the pride era and i consider unfair leaving one of them out of the list) 4-George St Pierre (the modern concept of mma fighter)

nazgul barakas I’ve not ranked them tbh they’re just names I thought who pioneered the sport. People can hate on them but these are the fighters that broke the mould and became world renown names. These fighters turned casual fans to hardcore fans as the sport was evolving and they always made people care about their fights, win or lose.

@@nazgulbarakas5767 Yeah he sold fights due to his WWE fame. He physically overwhelmed a much smaller man to win the belt then when he got caught and had to lay off the steroids his specialty became curling up in the fetal position until the ref saved his life. If any very famous man came to the UFC he would sell a lot of PPVs if he's got a reputation as a dangerous guy. Brock was a great college wrestler and was physically intimidating so he was easy to sell with his big name. If Van Damn was younger and wanted to fight at 145 for the title millions of people would buy the fight. Would that make him a pioneer? Of course not and it doesn't make Lesner one either.

Who came here to just see the list mentioned... Rather listening to chael's speech 😂😂

Awesome video!

chael, very good video and information, I congratulate you, I admire you, you are a good athlete and you share an impartial point of view, keep up the good work, greetings
