“If I could do MMA again, I would have brought more things to people, introduced the leg cross game earlier and lost a round just to see what it feels like.” - 100% accurate translation of his answer.

The one thing for sure is really really not letting anyone get close.

Chael should’ve stopped lifting weights in his early teens, his arms developed at an alarming pace and never stopped expanding to the point where they weighed 50 pounds each. Now Uncle Chael is the strongest man on the planet but nobody is carrying 100 pounds of arm for 25 minutes without them getting tired, unfortunately Chael couldn’t keep his arm up and it got caught in a triangle. Although, Chael has never lost.

Chael didnt need to spend more time on anything but deflating the biggest arms from west lin oregon. Those things were so heavy they damn near weighed him down

He just summed up what I've been trying to find the best words to explain for years. This is why MMA has become its own sport. You do 100% benefit from wrestling, if you're a tough wrestler , have the experience of the grind , have the work ethic and the BASICS. That doesn't just mean a single leg, a double leg, a sprawl, maybe understanding the tie up game etc. That also means understanding how to use your hips, how to control, how to breath, how to get your bearings in a scramble and the balance of it all. So this is why we see guys who were tough at high school level or maybe even decent at a Jr.College level, immediately start to learn striking & submissions and can go out and dominate a high-level Division 1 stand out. Same for boxing - if you take a kid who knows how to wrestle and you give him his outside boxing education (Jabs, straight power shot rear hand, outside hooks, overhand & uppercuts) he has an amazing arsenal to start with. While the pure boxer will spend years perfecting his outside, mid way and inside ranges (not to mention his work on entering into and out of those ranges) his pivots and angles from inside to out, all of that is dead when his opponent can now grab him and tie him up, trip, knee, elbow etc same goes for BJJ etc etc...

He never lost a round, what would he change.

I love the honesty. Alywasy more of this.

Mma: if I could have a Chael Sonnen all over again

That is a great question to ask a former champion. I will definitely keep an eye out for Sage Brown. Speaking of techniques to adopt, keeping in mind that I've never fought anywhere near the professional level, I do believe that your footwork is extremely important in any combat sport that involves defending yourself from a standing position. The logic being that your feet can get you in and out of trouble. Some of the best that I have seen in the UFC was by a guy named Matthew Schnell. I addition to what you've said about Ju-Jitsu, I believe that Matt's footwork is optimal for MMA.

If Chael says he’s gonna be a champion by god he is gonna be undefeated and undisputed just like Uncle Chael!! Let’s go Sage!! You’ll have my support, all the way from Alabama!

You see various judo tosses all the time. It's quite utilised

I think of judo similar to TKD. If it’s your main style mma will be difficult for you. If you are well versed in the other areas of mma and take only the parts of the art the are effective you can be successful. Bjj Guys ( esp gi) can benefit greatly from judo training, but chael was talking about just mma

There were a few great judo practitioners in MMA, Yoshida, Rouse, the other blonde girl I forgot her name. The thing is that Most of judo practitioners do not want to go into mma, even though some submission techniques are equal or better than jiu-jitsu

So what’s ur opinion on focusing on Greco considering the limited nature and the posture and the weight cutting?

Hey Chael, I had a thought that you have probably answered already. Like you said if you change a rule in a sport you now have a new sport. So in mma western boxing techniques are used for hand strikes, but the fact that the gloves are smaller than boxing changes some of the techniques that are implemented and actually work with smaller gloves. Is it still boxing, or should it have it's own classification, own system separated from boxing? Should we even call it boxing if used in mma because it's not the same?

Great video

I think u need a good solid wrestling base and decent jujitsu skills and focus the most on striking. That way your comfortable anywhere the fight goes and you can take the fight wherever you need to get the win.

Maybe Judo would transfer over better if they worked more no-gi, and/or they worked on their mma style clinch a lot. A pressure style like Khabib's could have used some judo if you cut the octagon off and trap someone against the cage, or if you're able to force them into a standup grapple.

Learn some jkd concepts, read Jack Dempsey's book on how to generate power in both hands, get better bjj etc

Chael, the Wrestling opens up head strikes, you landed a wonderful 1-2 on Anderson because he was worried about your Wrestling, Khabib did the same to Conor with that big right hand, Chandler had Hooker worried by his level changes. I think those are only available because of the credentialed wrestling.

Wrestling nowadays is not displayed as much because people got better at take down defense, and they don't want to waste energy with the takedown The fighters that are using it to its maximum effect and have success are Colby, Kamaru and Khabib as some examples because they have incredible cardio to sustain the pressure

Uncle Chael's mma career wouldn't change. Mma would change for his career.

What about just getting stronger with strongman training or crossfit training. Do you think that will help and translate well into mma?

Let's not forget Vitor was just a bit juicy. The sport has changed so much over the years and not all good, but these drastic changes like the TRT era & now USADA make it really hard to compare some of the early fighters with fighters of today. Growing up in the 80's you didn't start training MMA or BJJ at 6. Here in Nebraska we had wrestling, boxing, & some point Karate or Tae Kwan Do which more often then not seemed to be a joke. My kids now train in BJJ, Muay Thai & a bit of wrestling as young as 6. Things sure have changed, & I am curious to see how CTE continues to change the sport.

Ok great, but where does Kevin Lee fit into all this? and just how good is Conor McGregor?

I think you're wrong on this one Chael. Judo one's of the most useful tools to have when doing MMA and MMA fighters have shown this to be the case, like Ronda Rousey who used to dominate with the transition from throw to takedown (before her career stopped due to wanting to be a stand-up fighter). Judo can prepare you for something not a lot of MMA fighters do: throws and upright grappling. Some of the most essential elements to a stand-up game are shoulder throws, hips throws, sweeps and suplexes, Judo has all of these. these simple moves enable great transitions to other moves. This is also why Greco-Roman Wrestlers do so well in MMA (whereas freestyle wrestling is suited more for takedowns, which originates from Catch-wrestling). The reason why this isn't focused on more simply due to lack of imagination. In MMA you mostly have Thai Boxing, BJJ, Boxing and maybe some freestyle wrestling if you grew up with it. No one wants to diversify or vary themselves. You get people incorporating Wing Chun or Karate every so often, however these are niches at best. A lot of MMA fighters and trainers lack diversity and imagination to make their combat more effective. It's a case of using the same tools rather than seeing what could be better and, believe me, things could be better.
