Ariel is a great counterpuncher. "That went better than your debut in Bellator, Chael". Knockdown.

Chael and Ariel have a really entertaining chemistry, I like the way they verbally jab each other throughout the interview
Not only will Conor now win but Mystic Chael has predicted DC to become a 2 weight world champion after he adds the 205 belt to his 206.2 at home.
I like mousasi and I don't like the fact that he went to bellator, but Chael's story made me remember how much I miss Rory in the UFC, he was legit my favourite fighter.
2017: Dominick Cruz vs Cody Garbrandt - MMA Fight of the year (if not the decade) in terms of technique. Cody was simply flamboyant and Dominick Cruz delivered with class.
Chael a funny dude no denying that

You can't "prepare" sinus problems. I've had sinus problems from a severe motorcycle accident and had three surgeries and six procedures on my sinuses. I can tell you that problems from that was 1000% worse than the more major surgeries to put my shattered pelvis back together or the other reconstructive surgeries to put my face back together. I was sick as a dog and bedridden for two weeks after one of my sinus surgeries. Far more problematic than my other major surgeries. Sinus problems effect your balance, vision, breathing, and everything else you can think of. I'm not justifying anything with Nunes, I just think people are underestimating her medical issues. Being cleared by a fight doctor means little here. She should have seen an ENT doctor. Her problems are far worse than having a broken arm or any other visible injury.
I left a comment couple days back and said Bellator said Gerard and Rory are excellent signings and since the take UFC has changed a lot 2017 .. they guys said that no great fights
Chael was right about Romero losing
mystic chael ! the man
Great to see the Great Chael P put Ariel in his place..
He kicked with his foot, I swear, that guy Justin wow 😂
Chael is right about alot in this
I agree with Chael's point about forfeit clause. If a fighter weighs in, which is a day before the fight, and then pulls out within that 24 hour period and is cleared by the doctors (not just the commission clearance but a real medical examination), they should forfeit and the one that shows should get show and win money. I'm not dissing on Amanda Nunes, I'm sure something was truly off, but sinusitis has the unfortunate nature of being very severe in nature or very mild. And, if you watch the fight week interviews and even the day before interviews, she didn't sound congested, she was breathing through her nose with ease, no sniffling, and showed no clear signs of head pain. Severe sinusitis would have at least one of these traits, likely multiple. No idea why she pulled, but she should have done it sooner.
Ariel is like a therapist to fighters on the slide. They don't appear to be screaming 'weeeee!'
I'd like details on what Chael is making fun of with that kicking and forward pressure running gag, please. Obviously it seems to be something Ariel said but I wanna be fully in on the joke.
gotta love co-host the ORIGINAL AG !! !
Chael a true martial artist can adapt.
My god all these comments from this video haven't grasped the main point of Chael. He very much emphasizes that this is not a boxing vs mma fight, it's a boxing vs boxing fight. There isn't any way Connor wins this. As great as Tom brady is he can't enter the world of a MLB pitcher and be successful, even in the college programs. There's similarities in both sports because of accuracy and arm power, but the game plan and the size of ball is different. The same goes for this fight, Connor has a light amateur background, no more than 15 fights. Most boxers have over 100 fights of amateur before going pro, let alone the level of skill that grows exponentially. Fighting style and stance are totally different, as well the angles and gloves. I could go on forever but Connor is not going to learn how to beat a boxer let alone a master counterpuncher/defender in just 1 year, even if given 5 years. lool enjoy the circus but this is no more than a money grab, a couple of magicians leading you into a abyss.
Ariel must be crazy pickin'up fights with mma fighters since forever...diaz,jackson,chael,ortiz and the most violent one: DANA THE GOAT.
Will there be "Kicking, Punching and Foward Pressure?"
49-1 has flooded the internet ladies and gentlemen.
I think in the future a co promotion between ufc and bellator would be good champions v champions in all divisions maybe once a year or something
chael is the best
Yes! Chael never gets it right!!
Love chael!!!
1:23 Oh My!!! Lol You tell it like it is, Ariel!
It's "hoist with own petard" not baton.
Rory Mcdonald has the least appreciated personality in mma he's so savage
Chael Sonnen, 😂 Best way to start this!! 😂
Actually we got vanentina coming on in a minute .. "oh well I can't be blamed for that that's up to you, goodbye"
Punching and kicking and.. Forward ..pressure... Where did this line come from?? Lol

No. Chael even did commentary on a few of Justins fights in wsof, hes a fan of Justin. He's annoyed how nobody wants to give the guy an interview until he goes out and does to Michael Johnson what hes been doing for years

Chael pumped Gaethje for a good while when he was in WSOF. Chael is actually how I got turned onto Justin's fights. He's commenting on the fact that everybody is drooling over that performance even though it looked EXACTLY like all of Gaethje's fights. Insanely entertaining, but people are late to the hype train and bandwagoning. Kid deserves it for sure, but Ariel was gobbling the man's balls pretty hard.

Shlevchenko? :)
Ariel keep your language clean it fits you much better. I'm not offended or anything, just saying I think that should be your style.
Powerful Chael Sonnen with the prediction! Guess Conor was right. 49-1

Same, man. Love hearing the dude gab. He comes out with good concepts at times, but he always throws in that crazy hyperbole. But that's part of why I listen to what he says. The gonzo nature of it.
Damn Ariel goes in on that "did you know X had a son 2 weeks ago? Fatherhood is so great" and Chael had a stillborn kid like 3 months ago.... Chael got PISSED
Chael v Tito was a work. It was a going away present for Tito. I've watched both those guys for a looong time and thats not how that fight woulda gone down. It ended in a rear naked choke that was literally postured for and offered up by Chael, he even moves his own head out of the way so Tito can get his arm in. Chael probably got a lil extra cash, Tito got to go out on top. This is why Chael goes wide eyed and dodges talking about that Tito fight... same reason guys like Mark Coleman wouldn't talk about their throws, typically legit fighter takes a dive and is ashamed.
ARIEL IS THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE MMA DUDE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD

Thank you Chael for picking Floyd to win. It means Conor is going to win.
I feel like Floyd really got into Conor's head at the press show. He was completely flustered when talking to ariel afterwards. My money is on Floyd though and I'm an MMA fan saying this.

Chael Sonnen's assessments and predictions are always 100% wrong.
what is this 'integrity' in 'boxing' you speak of?
Chael just deciding to come on and just immediately go bad on Justin Gaethje was incredible. So unnecessary and yet so fun.
Chael legit dislike Justin Gaethae
Hokay Ariel Helweasel you act surprised that you were banned from the conference but look at you bashing the UFC and Dana. What did you expect? Dana to turn the other cheek?
God it's guna suck so much when chael isn't involved in MMA anymore
I'm a Floyd fan but if Chael is picking Floyd then Connor is probably going to win.
I think I have to fart...
Chael still can't say Shevchenko, he thinks they all have L's in slavic countries lol
love it
10:58 Moosawcyyyyy
New blood is new business. I think that's why.
Lol Ariel killed Chael right in the beginning.
Rory Mac is a different cat lol bites an apple and challenges another man in an elevator.
Chael, the man who has been busted for every drug in the history of mankind. I still like him though.

he definitely lied about knowing how many paper views bellator did. So many tells. must not have been great.
Chael is right, that woman who trained her ass off to fight for the belt just gets jewed?
expect politics to play a huge role in this fight
The community of boxers and the like DO NOT say Mayweather is the Greatest ever. He has and never will crack the top 10 on any All Time [All Weights] list. When they speak of defensive greats 'they' say he's up there.
49-1
"Integrity of Boxing versus Conor Mcgregor" ... What integrity? Boxing is corrupt and has been for a long time. That's why nobody watches it anymore. That's what happens when you put money first. Dana White put the fans first for the sake of entertainment.
