When you're the greatest collegiate wrestler of all time, they don't call you the greatest collegiate wrestler of all time, they call you Chael Sonnen.
I fact checked this…came out 100 percent true
Amazing how much this guy got submitted being a wrestler.
@@brandoncampbell5993 ok great. 👍
One of my favorite uncle spitting facts remembrances
@@brandoncampbell5993 wrestlers don't learn to avoid submissions they learn how to avoid being pinned.
Love watching Chael talk about rasslin, he gets so into it. It's like listening to Jon talk about drinking and driving.
Or smoking crack
Or crashing into pregnant ladies
Or birthing an idea.
You guys talk about Jon more than you talk about anyone in the sport 😂 Idk why he even has a house when he's living in a million heads rent free
@@janblachowiczsfatgrandson7833 can you really even consider jon to be in the sport anymore? Dude hasn't fought in like 10 years
I remember before every Olympics Chael used to warn all the other countries: "Send whoever you'd like to compete against me, just don't send anyone you'd like back" good times.
I can't believe the Olympics wants to drop wrestling but they add skateboarding and 3x3 basketball.
They don't anymore, they wanted to back in 2013, the wrestling community rallied, made some changes to the rules that drastically helped it become a more exciting product and the IOC changed their mind and said wrestling could stay.
I can't believe you don't understand that you're a fan of a sport noone cares about.
I am too. Reality.
@@MrMancreatedgod people care a lot more about wrestling than archery, rowing and a million other sports it just gets picked out for some reason even with a low production cost. As of today it will never be cut it’s in a good place
@@matthewlee8618 I agree. And that is "a very good thing". 👍
@@MrMancreatedgod Buddy wrestling is a GREAT sport. This year alone we’ve already medaled more times than all other years I think combined. Some of the greatest matches I’ve ever seen
I’m at the point where Chael can talk about anything and I would still binge his videos.
Aye I watch podcasts all the time it’s kinda similar hearing these clips. I would rather hear real people talk about something real instead of a crap tv show
Same
@UN KNOWN Yes Ma’am
@ Almost soon
I agree. Some people just have a unique take on life and it’s interesting to hear, whether you agree with everything or not.
Dan Gable led the charge to fight for Olympic wrestling. The fact they considered pulling one of the few ORIGINAL olympic sports is mind boggling
It's really hard to fathom. Couple that with it being a major feeder sport to MMA (pankration), which is one of the most viewed sports in the world now. GSP, Jon Jones, Khabib, probably half of those in the GOAT conversation either have wrestling as a base, or make major use of its techniques. The other half of the GOAT conversation know wrestling defense. And I offer this - that there is no other sport more necessary than wrestling (e.g. BJJ, boxing, Mooey Thai). Some may be equally useful, but none more useful.
Bonkers
@@executivelifehacks6747 imo, it’s the most crucial aspect of MMA. Doesn’t matter how good your submissions are or your striking technique is if your opponent is on top of you and punching you. Fights like Usman v Colby or DC v Jones wouldn’t be held in the same breath without considering every single one of them has the wrestling skill to implement their striking.
And also, it’s the hardest to learn/master. There’s no other sport on earth like wrestling
Wrestling is an ancient sport it's a shame if they pull it of the Olympics
Wrestling is one of the foundational sports that mankind were designed to do. I was also puzzled as to why they even considered pulling out wrestling when I just saw someone win a medal for skateboarding of all sports.
I was literally just talking about how insane it is that these guys put so much into this sport to get absolutely nothing in return except a title that means the world to them. No money, no recognition, no appreciation. Just a title that is their dream.
It’s insane and it sucks it is this way!
Being the best. Some competitors compete for only that.
250K for winning the gold medal.
@@JJ-Toreddie pretty small prize for such an amazing feat, I will say there being no money in wrestling does mean that guys are only in it because they love this shit and wanna be the best
Glory
I love listening to Chael talk about wrestling. He brings real passion to the conversation.
I woke up at 3 am watch David Taylor win gold
Almost brought me to tears
I went to Graham with David and have been excited watching him win this gold. He deserved this so much.
it was sad for me seeing yazdani lose but dammn david taylor is a warrior
That late takedown was prideful
@@Cts_99it was live for me but turned that on with 1:20 left. Takedown was nuts
Yeah what a match to watch live! I went nuts.
Wow! I found myself agreeing with just about everything Chael said. I thought I was the only guy having trouble finding where and what time to watch Wrestling. I finally found the Olympic channel but it was by accident. Not many wrestling sites would specifically point to how and when to watch live. Jordan B and John S have been outstanding with commentary. So proud of this years Men’s and women’s team🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Do you know how to watch replays ?
Thank you Chael. I love wrestling. We need more support!
John Smith and JB's commentary was some of the best I've ever experienced
Folkstyle should be done world wide at middle, high school and college levels! The superior style of them all!
My heart: I love folk style
My brain: freestyle is so much funnier to watch!
@@dirtface73 "...so much more fun to watch"
Chael needs to talk about Dake getting teched 11-0
Jeez
@@letsgojake.4078 Can you please explain what that means? I don't understand the wrestling game, but I know of Kyle Dake.
i agree!! he had a rough match.
@@liukiang8329 If you go down by 11 points, its an automatic loss. Its rare in high level competition.
@@letsgojake.4078 Oh. Thanks for responding. I actually found out about Jordan Burroughs from the Joe Rogan podcast, and became a fan. When I learned that he had failed to qualify following a loss to Kyle Dake, I thought he(Dake) must be really good too. How unfortunate.
The good thing about cheal is, I always know why he brings this to us. I appreciate that.
Cheal I was just asking this same question. WHERE THE HECK CAN I WATCH THESE MATCHES and I laughed out loud about wrestling being almost unethical! I’m 27 but when I was hurt my senior year and couldn’t continue I was left with a hole in my heart that can never be filled again. Wrestling is truly the greatest sport
Chael, more wrestling videos please, and on that note, please start a wrestling podcast with Ben Askren and DC
Askren has a wrestling podcast! FRL flo radio live.
Damn love when uncle chael gets onto wrestling.
Can I just personally say thank you for pointing out how difficult it has been to keep up with the times of when our wrestlers are competing. As a long time wrestling fan and d3 wrestler I hate when I miss the live match. I also like how you stress the importance of continuing to fight for more weights and more days of competition for our Olympic wrestlers.
Burroughs and John Smith were superb together, it really added so much entertainment and educational value to each match. I also hope wrestlers that didn't go as far as they hoped to have a chance to talk to Smith at some point, he had excellent technical advice throughout the whole tournament.
great to see Chael talk about wrestling, it really reminds you of his solid background in it amid all the random topics and talking points he puts in the channel.
Chael you are a leader and a huge part of wrestling continuing successes. We need you!
Dude holy shit thank you! Why does wrestling HAVE to make it so damn difficult to watch the sport. I come from boxing so trust me, I know archaic sports. But god damn does wrestling and specifically FLO make it impossible to be fan
I think flo is great. Wrestling is at an all time high. Maybe it's just passed you by.
This is by far uncle Chael's best episode! Everything is on par with my thoughts. Laughed out loud multiple times as well! Thanks.
Exactly Chael, glad you shined a light on this subject
Yazdani vs Taylor was crazy match! 💥✨
Thanks for the info Chael. 👊🏽✌🏽
I feel like Gable Stevenson is definitely named after Dan Gable that's some hardcore wrestling fan s***
His name is Gable Dan Stevenson. Doesn't get much better than that.
Love the wrestling talk
Love your videos Chael!
This might be one of his best videos so many gems here
I've been enjoying wrestling and kumite alot this Olympics
Chael has been fired up these past couple days .. I like it lol
Love these wrestling videos.
Thanks Uncle Chael, can’t get enough Wrestling talk in my life. Wish we had reason for more but I’ll take what I can get. Totally does suck for Jordan Oliver!
Yes. Loved wrestling since high school…love the sport. Seeing wrestlers transition to MMA is awesome. Wrestlers know weight: how to make it and what to do with it, pressure,technique..etc., love Chael since forever-because he’s a wrestler.
I’m like Chael with being up at all hours watching the Olympics. 👍🇺🇸❤️😎
CHAEL WON ALL THE OLYMPIC GAMES 🥇
Chael is so spot on about not getting the details on HOW TO WATCH. Drives me up the wall
Thank you Chael - exactly how I feel
The lack of coverage is disheartening
Am a 2x state champ 08-09 watching Dake, Taylor, Gilman high school college
To get most excited tournament & completely drop ball coverage really sucks
Flowrestling needs to hear this.
Yo that folk style bit was awesome never thought about it like that... Good shit chael
Thank you!!!! Couldn’t find the goddamn schedule anywhere maybe the sport will grow when they figure shit out like that
Chael P wrestlings GREATEST ADVOCATE!!!!! KEEP IT UP CHAEL
Been trying to find Gable Stevenson’s Olympic matches but can’t find it anywhere.
Me too
Being in Tokyo doesn't help American viewers. It's rough to find bball.
Play the Olympic channel like we used to before the interwebs. You'll see everything, just not on your schedule. You'll also be introduced to some amazing athletes. I'm still a figure skating fan to this day....even couples.
Mr. Sonnen,
you are 100% right about quite a bit of your perspectives in my opinion. You are a very big personality and have great insight on this sport that I love.
Would you be willing to be a louder more visible force to bring opinions to the fore?
If not you who?
Additionally, in military aviation in our post mission debriefs we distinguish between Measures of Performance vs Measures of Effectiveness. This speaks to one of your big points about the appraisal of coaching staffs. If an athlete wants to maximize the impact of their training they ought to clearly define the MOEs and MOPs before they engage a live adversary. This way upon review they have a time to ID alibis, and will evaluate a fight in compartmentalized bins of their performance vs their outcomes. This way coaching staffs and athletes can examine with better precision the outcome of a fight.
Sorry for the long comment…
Lol fairly new wrestling fan here. You just made me feel SO much better 😂. I consider myself pretty damn resourceful and had the most difficult time finding when our guys wrestled.
Then, I post something to Ben Askren’s Twitter & someone sends the most simple chart back.
Brad = Happy
Uncle Chael = always right.
Spot on rant for the no listing of how to watch. Preach chael preach !
Thanks Chael. Now I know.
Uncle damn it chael !!
We need some more Olympic content !!!!
Reactions to
Gilman ?
Friggin dake??
Taylor ???
Snyderlaev????
Gable ??
Coach Cael ? Nlwc ??
Chael is the goat of mma and Olympics that's all.
Preach Chael. It has been so frustrating trying to watch Olympic wrestling.
Uncle Chael, I’ve had to watch highlights instead of full matches this whole time to because of alla this crazy schedule bologna. For instance, I knew Taylor won hold long before I was able to see it!
Love This man
Chael talks about how great Snyder is..
Abdulrashid Sadulaev: 😌
There has to be a Gable Steveson's video coming soon
You nailed it Chael! Get those 10 weights back, market the sport better and better foster opportunities at post sec, national and international level.
Lead the charge, Unkie Chael.
You could do it.
Ok great. 1. Tito tapped 2. Where is the burns vs thompson post analysis
Your right on, it is the hardest sport
I learned where to watch the matches from Fanco Wrestling. That guy's good for the sport. It's a shame no one else is telling you where.
It was actually pretty simple. You go to NBC's Olympics website, and if you log in with your cable credentials you can stream all the matches and watch all the replays. The have a schedule to let you know which matches are on which stream. I had to use a VPN because I'm overseas right now.
Edit: i didn't have a cable login myself, but my friend let me use his.
Spot on… still in the first 2 minutes and couldn’t agree more. What the hell do I pay for a subscription to Flo or continue paying for a USA wrestling card through The Mat? They both absolutely did a horrible job covering the Olympics- and completely agree with the need to fight for more Olympic Wrestling.
Chael spoke facts
I was hoping to get coverage on the olympic wrestling drama and news from Chael. I wanted to get into it but I never watched it before and theyre certainly not trying hard to pull in new viewers (I did watch some of the previous days) Good coverage can make everything interesting.
I could not agree with you more about the Olympic broadcasts. I watched every US freestyle match live and it was amazing. John Smith may be one of the best coaches in college, but he is the BEST wrestling commentator in the sport!
Fanco wrestling always tells where to watch 🤘🏼
I came to post the same thing. That guy is great for the sport.
Looking at you FloWrestling with these digs
Gable Steveson is a beast! Do a post about his win 🥇
Cannot WAIT for Chael’s video on GABLE STEVESON’s gold winning effort with 4 points in the last 13 seconds! Definitely worth waking up 5 am my local time
Chael out here Dan Gable-ing it up
I thought the Magic man could not be topped then Gable came along. Can't wait for 2024.
I absolutely agree that Wrestling should have 12 weight classes and my opinion it needs three 3 minute round and no point for a step out.
One point for a takedown, three points for a head & arm, or shoulder throw and four points for a a grand amplitude throw. I also liked the 15 point rule for a superiority like the late 80`s.
Thanks for this video.
The Legend is that Uncle Chael was a Tobacco Chewin Catch a can gangsta in middle school, and he never lost a round.
Its 1:00am right now in uk..
Chael im trying to sleep..
I did notice you shared this to us because instead of bringing it. 🤔
Not sure if anyone has said this before, but it would be very interesting to see these international freestyle wrestlers wrestle Folkstyle.
This is why i say wrestlers make the best athletes they put in the most effort strictly for passion
Wrestled With my 1 year younger brother since birth, I Remember when i was told wrestling was there.... Wow, Just WoW
This is the earliest I’ve been
Chael 100% right about importance of college wrestling
Chael Akgul was the returning Olympic champ but the last time he won the world championships was 2017, not 2019. And there is a difference from the world championships and Olympics there’s half the weight classes.
Isn’t the Olympics on NBC?? The older I get the more Chael sounds like my aging Uncle. I love Uncle Chael!!!
THANK YOU!!! What is with people pretending these times are a step down from the launch codes. Just give me a time the event starts, who's covering it, and the order they happen in. I can do the math and understand you don't know exactly how long each thing takes and the break between. But the athletes have a general idea when to show up, so there's a schedule somewhere. There's a camera and a guy holding it, there's a guy with a microphone strapped to his head and a cable going to a van with a logo on the side of it, what does that logo say?
Long Live Uncle Chael LLUC
Maybe Judo should adopt this 45 minute cool down rule. I remember coming off from a match and being told I’m on deck on mat 4, “go get changed into your blue gi”
Chael please cover wresting more
So true about getting the time for matches. I got the mofos though.
Chael : Spells Olympic Oilympic
International Olympic Committee : Time to rename the event
Uncle Chael!
Chael going at FLO tough
The Eastern Block😄😄
I accidentally went to a 2 week freestyle/Greco camp where kids came from across the country in preparation for the hs national tournament. Was at Cobra (rival club to Pitt, Chaels home club). I was terrified bc I had only wrestled folkstyle and was pretty good, but BAD compared to everyone there. Unbelievable how simple and boring these 2 steps are compared to collegiate/folkstyle. In a week I learned basically all the moves. Freestyle and Greco are checkers, folkstyle is chess. The international sport would greatly benefit from adopting this style
David Taylor is the perfect example , his shoots and scrambling are 2nd to none in the world. He only gets better
Felt that at 4:50
I'm excited about something I didnt care about because of Chael
Switching from Collegiate to Freestyle would instantly make US more relevant in the Olympics/Worlds. Its like the whole refusal to switch the the metric system.
I haven't watched wrestling before this Olympics but I saw that Indiana girl lose in the last minute and was so confused. Make a video chael!
Taha Akgul: My last name is Akgul
Chael: AKUL is his name
Taha Akul: My last name is Akul
I totally agree with you. Why are the wrestling powers that be, want to keep wrestling in the dark? I’m not talking about the Olympic committee. I’m talking about flo and themat. The largest companies in the us, make it almost impossible to tune in.
Chael : the wrestling channel
Me: ok great
The juxtaposition between American Wrestler & jujitsu and how it pertains to MMA fighters n insert year.
Okay so there's this team called Sunkist.....yeah the soda company cause who doesn't like a cold orange beverage.
Oh by the way if you don't have grappling on the school, university, amateur levels ....where are you gonna find Olympic heroes?
Chael watching Wrestling at 2 am is just like Starcraft fans watching Korean Brood War in the middle of the night lol
