Come clean. Everyone get in trouble, just don’t lie. I think Silva had good reason to cheat to help repair his terrible injury though. I believe even chael said before if he injured himself like Silva he would take anything legal or not to fix a severe break like that.

Brilliant interview as usual..
Great interview with the legend
This interview and a couple of earlier, recent, changed my mind about Chael for good. I never thought of him as a true and humble person. The image he has created of himself was rather negative, at least for me. Now I look at him with the brighter and accomplished eye. God speed, Chael! And it comes from a Fedor die hard fan.
Love this guy, he’s so down to earth!
So excited for this fight
Very candid!
Cheal, it's almost poetic watching you honestly roll out with your analysis of how the fight will go, Fedor's weaknesses and strengths.
Chael has talked a lot of trash about Fedor and his skills in the past. It seems like his tune has changed now that he is his opponent on Saturday.

He didn't change his tune that much. He repeated his prior opinion that Fedor's Pride fights were fixed. That's a pretty serious insult.
Its cool to see Chael meet and fight one of his heroes.
Chael was so close to having wins over Silva and Jon Jones (for different reasons ofc) and he has a chance to beat Fedor. Imagine if he had gotten those 3 wins. Yeah he probably would have lost the inevitable rematches against Silva and Jones, but still.

Really looking forward to this, Been keeping up with the entire tournament and I feel if Chael can beat Fedor this tournament is his to win.
I’m gonna start a company teaching fighters how to talk. So refreshing to hear . At this point though Chael is a talker who can fight instead of a fighter who can talk.
Refreshing to hear him honest!!
Love Chael. Tough as hell and articulate to boot.
Gotta love chael
He always gives in. He has been stopped a bunch of time but never with a KO. I think wresters are tough at grinding and cutting weight but they seem to get used to losing.
What a freakin stud Chael is. This guy is definitely my favorite personality in the entire sport.
I've always like Chael and more so recently. Not only is he well spoken, with structured and logical arguments but he's insightful as well. Keep up the good work sir! You're going to have a great career once your time in the cage is over.
How do you not love this man?
“There is no place I can be comfortable in this fight “. This is good you should never be comfortable! You should be alert and prepared
This will be quick. Fedor on another level
Pulling for Chael!!!
oh man oh man. there's a BUZZ to this fight. i can't wait for it
Love Chael. Check out his podcast guys. It is great. They are kind of short recently because he’s fighting but once he’s back in full podcast swing, it’s a great almost 2 hour listen.
I love chael.
Shout out to Josh! Good on you, Chael!
Oh your gonna feel the power...good luck
Marc is the master of being in the background of all video footage, source doesn't matter. Likely he's in the background on ESPN video of this as well.
I love Chael. He tells how it is. He means what he says and says what he means. He has had tough times and came out above it.

Id love to see Chael interview Fedor in the wake of the fight. Regardless of the outcomes of the fights Chael will always be known and remembered as a great man.

I'm a Fedor fan but I can respect how he's come to terms with what he's up against. All the trash talks end with the promotions and it's all real talk when he's being seriously interviewed. Good luck Chael, this will be an amazing fight regardless of outcome.
Chael out here selling those retirement fights.
Haha Marc popping in at 3:50, did someone give him a chair to stand on?

Top man
UFC is becoming a telenovela, this is refreshing towards this sport
Hands down best Chael Sonnen interview I've personally seen, except when he said there were fixed fights... I hope that fights are never fixed, the possibility is there, but I competed and trained back in the day and the pride that I had, at that time, I woulda never let a fight be fixed.. I hope fighters have more self respect then that... everything else Chael mentioned I agree with... very respectful interview.

Again, he never said fighters we're in on the fix. He specifcally said the winners were left unaware. This isn't speculation. This happened. Fighters who did the Japanese circuit have confirmed this, and there are very obvious examples. Nobuhiko Takada owned Pride FC; he was a wrestler, and the promotor. He himself participated in clearly fixed bouts.
Fedor is beast!
3:45 haha wtf is marc raimondi doing down there? Then at 5:39 he's angrily checking out that guys mic who is almost in Marc's face.
Fedor vs Chael is going to be great. Go Bellator
For a man who is about to get into the cage with Fedor he's totally so easy going. He's a pure realist,,,not enough credit even to him,he's intelligent and a hard grafter which says alot in today's game. He always has a word to say regarding other fighters as he knows fighters and how to fight and the dynamics involved. Plus he's damn entertainment. I wish him well. Not enough credit bestowed on him.
Fedor is scary calm in his stare downs.

Chael, try a snap down or front headlock. That's what I do to shorter opponents
can we get some subtitles for the questions? everyone except marc raimondi sounds like they were speaking with a mouthfull of balls.
Thats how every "western civilization"- fighter should talk. Chael should give communications cources to fighters.
I can't wait to watch Chael's analysis after Fedor KO's him.

Funny how much i love fedor.... but i actually want Chael to win! Go on son, good luck from your cousins in england :)
At least Chael is being real, finally.
What happened to the WWE style promos?
Really like that he bring Barnett in the greatest HW's conversation ! JOSH is criminally forgotten and quite underrated when it come to mention the top 5 ! Josh beat most of the best of his era (except Kharitonov Werdum and Fedor).... he got a better resume than Cain/cro cop ( even with his 3 losses against him 😤) !!! Only JDS Nog and Werdum (it's debeatable) have better resume than him at HW's
Great interview Chael, I hope you win Fedor is washed up now so you have a good chance of winning
Love love love Chael!!
Chael is an old school fighter, says it like it is
Never been a huge fan of Chael but there's no denying he's legit. Good fight Chael. There's NO shame losing to Fedor. At all
The size difference is real. Sonnen is the bigger and stronger guy :)
my brother use to beat me like this when i was 12 and he was 25
“I’m not a bully I never went in a fight I knew I was gonna win” hahaha Can’t find the video but Chael said this about Anderson Silva almost word for word: “I thought it was an easy fight so I took it and went for it” hahaha
It's bellator 207 not 208
