I've heard this exact topic, on this exact channel, at least 24 times, and I still sat through the whole thing.
I am 100% going to be in the UFC. There’s no doubt in my mind.

Thank you once again Chael for allowing us access to one of the greatest UFC minds of all time
1000% Correct. If Nate Diaz was worried about not having enough time to train for Connor in the 1st Fight of Michael Bisping didn't think he had enough time to get ready for Luke Rockhold their Careers likely wouldn't have turned out as they did

💯 Uncle Chael just lay it there for us. One of the keys to the business. It’s a real thing
Jalin Turner UFC debut fight was on short notice and a weight class up (170) against Vicente Luque on the Connor vs Khabib card. He got KO but he also got a contract and got to fight his next fights at 155 where he’s now on a win streak and in the top 10 rankings! 🕷

Please go through all the steps! Everyone of them. People like me need them
Thank you Chael, this is the most useful information on the topic there could have been.
Chael comes from the bygone era of tournament-style fights where guys would compete multiple times per night, but these young fighters don't think that way. Most want to play the long game of negotiating to maximally extract what they can get before accepting.

Chael’s first fight in the ufc was #95. Lol so no. That doesn’t happen in the top promotion. It happens when fighters are able to be exploited when they have no bargaining chip eg fame.

@@CYMotorsport he said fights. Chaels been actually fighting, not in the UFC, but fighting since the the late 90s. And his first ufc was in 2005
see this is why chael is the number 1 voice in mma. you can come back in ten years to this video and learn something, wether from the words or the delivery. championship mentality.
This is good advice for any career path. Take chances. Bid on jobs, offer alternatives, even read the damn memo to the team. You get credit for taking a chance when no one else will. People remember valiant efforts, which is why the backup quarterback is the most popular person on a losing team.
Song yadong whos now a top 5 contender got into the ufc as a last minute replacement. Nobody in the west had ever heard of him before. Im sure there are a few other current roster examples as well.
I needed this vid thnaks
Headed to the fight night this weekend In Orlando… pics? Thanks😊
Love this content great video
I like when you put us on game relating the ufc
The advice here was mot actually be ready at all times. It was look for job openings, and then be the first and hopefully only to apply for job no one wants.

Good advice 🔥🔥🔥
The most real answer by Uncle Chael. It’s a real thing. The one thing you gotta have or add Is be ready at all times, for anyone at anytime, anywhere. It’s one of those things that you have to be ready, you want it go get it, there is your opportunity, you can be the underdog and can pull an upset and you just got yourself a contract as Uncle chael was saying.
i wanna fight in UFC, been working on it for years now, training BJJ and kickboxing here in Brazil, thanks Chael

The difference in my life from before I learned this lesson and before is so night and day. I only hope I can get my kids to get it as early in their life as possible. It is that huge a difference in life.
Thanks Uncle Chael.
how does one get into the business side of it, the logistics? does one need to be in las vegas or able to be moved, do they have opportunity to grow? food for thought
I am wholeheartedly believe in being in striking distance of making weight and being ready but I disagree with a dozen matter of point it doesn't matter this don't matter that do you want to fight or not no this is a career and I am trying to make the smartest decisions for my career which means taking the easiest opponent for the most amount of money that's not saying I won't take a short notice flight just depends on who I'm in this for me not the corporation if that makes sense after all I am an independent contractor
Chael is the goat of mma that's all.
I'm soaking this in like a sponge, I think this is his second time talking about this but this time it sounds like he's giving a little more of the meat, and potatoes.

At least half a dozen times if you've been here awhile.
Trying to join the ufc? One easy way to do it is to walk right up to a UFC fighter and challenge them in the octagon. As soon as you get your ass handed to you do realize that this might be something you really don't want. Or you could just listen to Uncle Chael!
Chael without doubt the GOAT!!!!
Just watched my first PRO and was thoroughly impressed with production and presentation. But most of all with the performance of Brendan Loughnane. Performance of the year. Please reach out to him Chadl, Bisping would get in trouble.

At this point I'm just watching the channel to see whether he addresses the Legendary Hotel Incident or the Great Lord Chael Sham Established Titles Incident first. 🤣
Waiting for perfect is procrastination with a large slice of self deception
best way to get into the UFC is to storm the cage as a fan. Dana loves it when that happens and almost always has the guy sign a contract afterwards
Everyone take notes
So I used to watch Uncle Chael’s KZread channel a lot more before I realized that the full podcast is kind of just some of the videos stitched together, so I just moved to the podcast entirely. How much material am I missing by just listening to the podcast?
Alright then, I'll get ready for a busy year.
Jones is a classic example of always ready and why he was so deadly.

... is by tackling a would-be robber and sending the clip to Dana

Imagine Darren Horcher beat Khabib on his short notice UFC debut. Could have changed the UFC timeline as we know it.

Through the door?
Being promotable at this point.. have watched MMA for over 20 years unfortunately when it comes to the UFC being promotable is far more valuable than skill or rankings.. Example (just two) PVZ and Sage. It is what it is. Dana is a promoter. They want promotable people to sell tickets. Rankings don’t even matter now.
This is not only the best franchise but the best sport in the world I loved it for year it’s not hard
The ufc is my future, im 15 rn
what do you mean when you say begrudge? cos you use that word a lot and i dont think it means what you think it means

So yea if taking all comers regardless of how long your camp is if your not in the UFC the way to go. But then again.. even if your the last name in pay on the UFC roster, taking short notice fights is statistically proven that taking short notice fights is a big risk w/ a small reward.. unless your in title contention. UFC always make fans believe guys who take short notice fights but no matter what happens the UFC brass has the attention span of a pitbull tripping on acid. Guys who've made it in the UFC & have became household names today none had to take short notice scraps to be popular. In fact to blindly take all comers on short notice is idiotic. Outside of Conor fighting Chad Mendes for a belt he's actually come out and even said Conor being offered a short notice fight is offensive to him Suga Shane- methodically and intelligently picks his opponent because he is well Aware the UFC want him fighting as much as possible.& Against killer's. However he did break the most strikes landed in all 135 history vs Kris moutihno on short notice Paddy the exact same.. except he's admitting he's not ready for ranked opponents yet Francis? Same

Paddy is way out of shape after each fight (short notice impossible) but he's done well.
Reality tv, fight night undercard, or be endorsed by Chael.
I don't want to be in the UFC. I want to cover it..
