Hey Chael, I was visiting friends in Cali and saw Tito last week. He was outside a 7-11 in Santa Clarita, attempting to feed the Redbox a peanut. He was cooing to it, saying "Hey little buddy, put this in your acorn nest for the winter." I was euphorically sad, for I knew he thought it was a squirrel, and was just trying to help him lay provisions in for the winter. Deep down he has a good heart, Ol' Tito. But also.. it wasn't a squirrel. It was a Redbox... and they don't even have bushy tails... So, based on your Nog and Little Nog story about the bus and the carrot, I wanted to report this to you, so as to get it off my chest and pass this along to the proper authority. It just seemed like the right thing to do. All the best.
He's intelligent that's why. One thing I noticed about successful people they're able to trick themselves into believing and wanting to do something. Manipulation of their own mind. Instead of "I have to do this" it becomes "I get to do this" little things like that make a big difference. But if a person is capable, they can influence themselves to always be motivated. That's what Usman does. He's doesn't listen to himself he speaks to himself.
Lotta champions are intelligent, in a sport full of absolute knuckleheads. Look at Adesanya, Aljo, usman even francis. All way smarter than the average ufc fighter. lotta successful fighters have been really smart.
No the thing is it is “I have to do this” but they somehow convince themselves they’re not trapped like they only have one option but they also have all the options in the world, it’s really a different kinda crazy, most successful people do what they’re doing as a means to an end, but the most successful in very specific regards are those that can maintain as much motivation for what they’re doing as possible, and it ends up being those who both believe what’s in front of them is all they have, but also those who don’t break from that pressure and with the world we have we don’t have sane people at the top anymore we don’t encourage people to do that, to push themselves to that extent because without the right motivation it usually doesn’t work out, it takes insanity to be as motivated as they are for next to no reason, the greater the reason the greater the motivation and the greater the potential for the fighter, however reasons run out, it’s people who can make shit up to hold themselves to a meaningless standard that are at the tippy top again insanity from most peoples points of view, however when you’ve got an empty life with few problems suddenly you typically make some problems for yourself to solve
Chael is 1000% correct, nothing in this world is harder than the sport of wrestling, did it back in middle school, admittedly was never really that good, but nothing was more agonizing than those years
That is why some people hated Khabib: Khabib could chain wrestle at elite level that eventually broke even other elite wrestlers. Two people could be equally gifted when it comes to techniques; they may even equal in physicality, too; but if one has more unknown determination, like Khabib --- who said openly: it doesn't matter how many times you stuff my tackles; I will do it 100 times if I must --- then it is very hard to deal with him.
I’m not Chinese but there was a general they had in the past that used that same mentality Kamaru is using during the Battle of Tao River which gave rise to a saying, "fighting a battle with one's back facing a river". Idk maybe he’s giving himself anxiety on purpose lol
Last person I'd take military advice from would be from a China man. Now had u said Japanese and Sun Tsu I'd be with ya. Over centuries China has little in the way of battlefield victories or stories of great courage, infact they had a century of humiliation and that's in their own words
@@knightrider693 Well as your narrative of a militarily weak China may be true, it’s also true that war tactics and wisdom from China have been read and have influenced armies such as the American and British ones! There’s always need to be keen to differentiate the message from the messenger in order not to throw the baby with bathwater!
Kamaru is a good champ and I like him as a fighter. The odds are stacked against Leon. But I hope Leon catches him. He's got enough power to hit the switch if he can get the right shot in. 🤞
snoozeman is a poser. he was all american til he decided he wasnt because thats not fashionable. he doesnt rep where he learned to fight or who he really is, thats a poser.
@@brodysievers5163 he never asked for Francis. He said the only guys worth fighting anymore were Francis or adesanya. He never said he actually wanted or thought he could fight them. It was a statement on the ufcs roster of punks that Dana spun Into he wants to fight Francis and you bought it. Read his actual quote. You're 💯 wrong.
You gotta give it up to usman he’s just a great champion beating Colby was a statement in itself if people really know fighting and how good that guy is.
Usman has done a great job at 170. As far as any division above it he’s smart enough to not take any fight that he can’t win or doesn’t favor him stylistically. So unfortunately we won’t get to see any of the best/great fights. He’s been champ & at the top for too long & isn’t about to chance it, regardless of what he says. Plus he’s about 2 fights away from declining….can’t stay in your prime for 3-4 years in MMA it’s not physically possible.
@@mitchellhedges711 It's not just about the chemicals that are being used but how they're being used. Something that's relatively similar to some steroids/epo like enhancement drugs used in the past (that USADA can actually detect) can bypass the current testing protocols just because of how its being used rather than just be a new groundbreaking chemical formula. Especially if they already have baselines of them on it for USADA as they compare the baseline to a new test. The circumstantial evidence that can't be proven that hints that Usman is on something is the same circumstantial evidence for a large chunk of the ufc fighters currently in the top 10 rankings across all divisions so I honestly don't give a shit in terms of downplaying achievements of fighters like Usman. I mostly get annoyed when people downplay Jon jones being the goat because of his doping scandals when it's widely known a lot of fighters today are doing things considered to be legal and fair just because USADA is steps behind everyone
@@deantrelladair5078 nah. Just logic Idiots don’t use logic apologies for your loss. Maybe you thought Usman was going to take the 185 belt & then fight Jon Jones 😂
The American Gangster, undefeated and undisputed. Love your channel Sonnen. Wish I look half as good as you, that'd make me get all the sassy senoritas
I build cabinets for a living, it's semi hard work, but nothing crazy. I'm good @ my job, damn good too. I personally come up with situations and perceived slights just to give me motivation an further drive to push myself! Sometimes I even work through my lunch break pissed off, and teeth clinched for absolutely no reason! !! 😅 It's odd I know, but something intensely satisficing to empty your tank knowing you left it all out there. Not for praise, or accolades of course, But because you do work, and knowing no one can take that away from you!💪
Something Usman could do that no one has done is after he wins the Edarwds fight, leaves the belt gives contenders a year to win his belt and he comes back and snatches it from whoever’s hands. Gives us fun fights and solidifies Usman as GOAT
If leon doesn't get the job done shavkat will given 2 more fights. That fella is the complete package and destroying whoever they put in front of him. I doubt Khamzat nor any of them could stop him even now
The more successful kamaru is, the more dangerous he is. I don't know how people miss this. Leon is unlucky, this Kamaru is far more dangerous than Colby Kamaru.
Chael is spot on with his psychology. Usman would love to be the underdog, would love to face Chimaev. He wants a big pay day and that means he needs a worthy adversary. Chimaev is that fighter.
The only legacy building fights that make sense for Usman are Khamzat and Adesanya . The whole can’t fight a Nigerian thing is made up. He and Izzy just want Dana to pay up for it.
@@emmanueladeyemo8526 That's so stupid, if they are the best in the world at fighting and they are in the Ultimate fighting Champion then they should wanna fight. It would be the thing that makes Usman the P4P king and the GOAT. Nobody could argue it.
@@emmanueladeyemo8526 he already said he’d do it for $100m. That’s called an opening offer. It ain’t about being Nigerian. 206m people live in Nigeria. Ain’t never been a fight between two of them? Give me a break.
@@whodatking26 it goes deeper than just being a pound for pound king and having a legacy. Some fighters actually have morals and don’t care about beating the mess out of they’re own friends to prove they’re better the better fighter. The Nigerian thing us made up they’re really just great friends. would you fight one of your closest friends on the worlds biggest stage over a belt and risk damaging a life long friendship?
'Winning that last 30 seconds' theory don't seem to work these days. I can count how many guys that won the last minute and still lost the fight or the round.
Jesus christ...jus look at that thumbnail 😳 that is jus ridiculous shape kamaru is in. I'm starting to think more n more than he Def must b on the sauce. But if he's not, kamaru, Francis, Paulo, yoel r absolute freaks of nature
@@jhonpaura8416 Well everyone including you thought Usman was about to win 49-46 comfortably. But props to Edward's, that wasn't a luckily finish at all. He had to dig deep to find that explosiveness 24 minutes into a lost fight.
KU an American won’t fight IA a New Zealander because of a country neither would ever ever ever live in/move to, yeah, and my grandpa was a champion potato farmer 👩🌾
Usman still has 3 undefeated fighters he should want to finish before saying goodbye to 170. Beating those 3 killers will be the difference makers for his legacy. Stop ignoring the new blood!

Who is here after Edwards pulled a Nate Diaz and _shocked the world?_ Usman _did_ overlook Leon. Crazy fight!
“An ingredient of every major upset” Chael undefeated undisputed
Chael literally predicted it perfectly
right my man can predict the future
I “AM” surprised mfs! 👊🏼
Bro never overlooked him

Nothing better than a fight week with "THE BAD GUY"!!!

Well said Frosty 2.0
"I can't let you get close" Words of a champion....
Uncle Chael was right on the money. All the ingredients for an upset were hiding in plain sight. Hell the way the fight went
too bad i watched this video after not before lol definitely watching faithfully now !!!
Cheal man, your super entertaining 👏 appreciate you!
Chael with a fresh haircut. Barber must've cut it from distance with some looong ass clippers
He couldn't let him get close.

I'm glad Leon made Kamaru pay for dressing like an asshole. small victory for everyone imo.

How accurate was that prediction in this clip. Chael is second to none.
I also am hungry after all these years, Chael.
Left tom at his worst point smh 😂
I heard Tom mention it, He even said before the fight Chael was coming to England for that fight week but idk what happened.
The American Gangster, undefeated and undisputed. Love your channel Sonnen. Wish I look half as good as you, that'd make me get all the sassy senoritas
First ever Pigmy in the UFC.
Fight for the forgotten.
Chael’s new hairline at 2:40 is undefeated and undisputed.

Damn unc…. No memes this time… awesome video
I got a saying uncle chael and that saying is “the wolf on top of the hill is never as hungry as the wolf climbing it” 🐺🐺
The wolf climbing the hill will be more exhausted than the wolf that was sitting at the top of the hill.
my man called this ... check his opinion before you bet anything lol very impressed
I juxtapose because chael said so
getting out of bounds in folkstyle is a true blessing 😭
Shin for dinner! Usman gunna be full for a while.
Something Usman could do that no one has done is after he wins the Edarwds fight, leaves the belt gives contenders a year to win his belt and he comes back and snatches it from whoever’s hands. Gives us fun fights and solidifies Usman as GOAT

Dude chael is so fucking smart holy fuck
It’ll be really sad IF usman manages to get the 205 strap and then still refuses to go for the middleweight one if Izzy still has the belt
No one thinks izzy would win. He lost by default
Usman v Chimaev would be legendary 🔥
Nate Vs Diaz is the fight to make
Kamaru so juiced up in that thumbnail lol
Hurry Up Kamaru.
The more successful kamaru is, the more dangerous he is. I don't know how people miss this. Leon is unlucky, this Kamaru is far more dangerous than Colby Kamaru.
Yoooooooo wassup
Chael doesn’t know how to find rankings but knows the 5 round club lol
Not as hungry as Paddy
Is it possible that the 205 talk is just smart future planning? Father time is undefeated and cutting to 170 won't get easier going forward.
do we need to be subjected to a 5 min. commercial when you open?
Chael getting into Simon and Garfunkel right now.
Edwards did it!!!
Yeah he’s hungry from the juice
Still thirsty with all that juice. Truly the CEO of EPO
If he really wanted a challenge so bad Chael, he would for sure immediately accept the fight with Khamzat given that they both win.
He would trash chimaev
Chael P Challenge. Never Pronounce a Fighters the Same Way Twice. Everyone Knows the Rules...
🤔 after hearing this , I’m starting to believe that maybe Leon actually has chance? Big Money Bet
He’s also trying to maximize his earning years
Nate vs diaz is the fight we all want
Usman has NEVER been a 170 fighter he has been a 200 lb bully beating smaller opponents.
Ok question. How to use drag kings in california ???
Chael is spot on with his psychology. Usman would love to be the underdog, would love to face Chimaev. He wants a big pay day and that means he needs a worthy adversary. Chimaev is that fighter.
Hungry for that EPO? ;)
Chael Sponsoring Betting sites is like Jon Jones sponsoring Blue Lives Matter
Chael, is it actually true that a blind squirrel eventually finds a nut?
U of all people should know Leon had just a good chance right.Why anything can happen in a fight and does all the time
The only legacy building fights that make sense for Usman are Khamzat and Adesanya . The whole can’t fight a Nigerian thing is made up. He and Izzy just want Dana to pay up for it.
