He has had as many MMA fights in his professional career as GSP and has the same record as him. He has more fights in the UFC than Cejudo who has lost more times in the UFC than Volk has total losses on his resume. He has more wins in his career at Welterweight (3) than BJ Penn has wins at Featherweight (0).

I disagree but it is a respectable opinion

Frankie Edgar has to be in Top15… he competed undersized in so many fights. He defeated BJ in his prime multiple times. His first fight against against Aldo was highly competitive. And I think he won 5 of the 10 rounds against Bendo who was significantly larger.

Volk not being on the list is kinda crazy imo. I think Kamaru/Volk would be a good comparison and tie. Both mauled their division as champ (until leon showed up baby boom headshot). I can see how Cormier is above Henry because Khabib has bias from friendship and the weight difference between LHW and HW weights like Chael said. However I think the "2 divison OLYMPIC gold medalist" puts higher degrees on a legacy then "Multiple All American 2 division champ". Jon being number 1 is just facts. Might mouse could be tied with GSP. Both of those 2 are different level like Jon Jones but Jon has the constant clutch factor that he can win and beat the opponent that is why he is number 1. GSP and MM both have had ups and huge highs in their careers so its a hard tie IMO and that could fit Volk in the list.

​@@user-rr3fq1ml1gIslam beat volk and snapped volk's 22 fight win streak. Come back to real life. Why would khabib put someone on list who lost to his friend Islam? Lol

The fact that Chael can read the phone book and get my view says a lot

The man with the biggest arm/charm in historrrrry Uncle Chael.

If conor doesnt make the list then Khabib isnt. Conor made Khabib

Khabib's son can't be on the list with zero title defenses. Plus he tapped out to his daddy 29-0 undefeated legend khabib.

I find it baffling that even till' this day people call d.c a double champ. D.c never actually beat the champion of 205 in jones. He was beat twice by him, then because of jones sniffing gas station d*ck pills the company handed the belt to d.c? Cmon man & call me a casual but even d.c beating stipe the first time doesn't look that impressive at all in hindsight. Not saying d.c was a scrub but I do think because of everything I just said + the time where d.c did the most blatant form of cheating maybe ever in mma with towel-gate..I respect Daniel but I think people Cap heavy when speaking on d.cs career

You’re not wrong. I’ve always thought the same thing about DC at 205 and then the blatant eye pokes to Stipe in the first and then getting schooled in the next 2 fights against him really showed the 1st win was a lot of luck

The 205 belt was a participation trophy. Jones was the real champ and everyone knew it.

He won the undesputed title so he was the champion. By your logic, Oliveira and Islam are not real champions because they didn't beat Khabib. Jan, Jiri, Jamal and Glover are not real champions because they didn't beat Jon. Figueredo and Moreno are not real champions because they didn't beat Cejudo. Kamaru, Hendricks, Lawler, Twood, and Leon are not real champions because they didn't beat GSP. Whittaker, Izzy and Pereira are not real champions because they didn't beat GSP.

Oh and by your logic Jon isn't the real HW champion because he didn't beat Francis.

Daniel earned the belt when he eliminated all the top contenders fair enough if he didn't beat Alex, Anthony Johnson (twice), Volkan Odezmir. But he did so deal with it, and he defended both belts in both divisions, unlike some double champs who win their new title and never defend it (Connor McGregor, Henry Cejudo, GSP).

Top 30 lists are sweet😊

Crazy how chael fought 3/4 best fighters ever

GSP is without a doubt number 1

Amazing that Chael fought 3 of the top 4 fighters of all time of Khabib's list...

Fighting 3 out of the top 4 guys is actually insane, go and have a grappling match vs gsp

Chanel you need to let go of mcgregor’s interim belt 😂 Izzy wasn’t crowned a champ-champ when he beat Whittaker. Them fights are referred to as unification bouts for a reason.

Get Khabib on your podcast

Chael fought both of Khabib's # 1's. and his # 3. Also to Khabib's credit to not put himself on the list.

i agree with the usman points for sure

Can you say more about Fedor and Jon as to why they are #1

Khabib is my favourite closely followed by GSP and JJ

"built an arena for" it was a tent in the fookin sand!

1:57 “murkrow crop cop”??? 😭

Love when BJ gets his credit.

Kazushi!!! Sakubara!!!!!! Can’t believe no one has this guy as one of the “GOATS” Such a dam shame…

Agree

I'm a few numbers in and is this going to be a top 26 list? Seems weird to have that many ties and still consider it a top 15 list.

Chael, you have officially changed my mind and I’m now back to believing that The GOAT is Anderson Silva. I’ve always had a list made up of the usual suspects. Anderson Silva, Mighty Mouse, Jones, Fedor and depending on the day and how the conversation was going. My #1 would change. But I think everyone is dealing with a bit of recency bias. Because the true pound for pound king is Silva for all the reasons you listed and that’s because he fought and won in dominating fashion in all of those weight classes. He challenged himself to the max. Connor has also challenged himself to the max going from looking half dead on weigh in day to fighting at weights far higher. But he didn’t go on a rampage like Anderson did when he fought probably my all time favorite fighter in Forrest Griffin ( I didn’t say the best just MY favorite. ) at 205 and won convincingly with a KO. Mad respect to everyone on anyone’s top 10 list. They’re all there for a reason but Anderson gets the vote from me. Followed by I think I have to go with Mighty Mouse. He’s been the most dominant person at their respective weight class for so long. Without any controversy, out of the cage issues or anything. Then it’s GSP because… it’s GSP and then Jon Jones. The follow up list might change order tomorrow because I’ll remember something I forgot about today. But that’s how my list looks.

Where tf is Alex volk?

Barry Sanders-esque action

I believe the GOAT Chael P. Sonnen is ranked as all the 15 best MMA fighters ever.

One of your best breakdown videos

Khabib made this list back in April, why is Uncle Chael talking about it now? 😂😂😂

I dont put him on my Mount Rushmore of MMA, but I'd have to put him somewhere in the top 15. But...each person has their own criteria.
