Chael Sonnen Knows Wrestling 

Chael is the man.

Great wrestler. Keeps it simple when he needs to and very educated in the sport.

this is such a great video .can you beleive that i've become a better wrestler after watching this 20 or more times.thank you so much !

i learned alot simply watching this video- thx

Big fan!!!!! Lots of people don't appreciate him and its insane

Chael is a beast

Flair,Arn,Ole,Windham

THAT GUY IS MY HERO!!!

i miss wrestling

whaaaat??? Chael getting down in some moccasins!! haha

That battle for position at 2:45 was great.

Damn those mats are nice... sweet for CCC.

Good to see Sonnen speaking interesting things and seriously for once.

i wish i had participated in wrestling.... unfortunately my schools didnt offer it and the were know recreational teams around town.... i really missed out a competitive sport

my coach rocks those same shoes as chael did.... they're dope

Could not find anything online for "The Dutch Roll". Trying to learn this properly...

I was thinking the same thing, until i saw that most post were from about 6 moths ago..

I'm brazilian but sonnen is great fighter in MMA, the best ground and pound, sonnen 4ever

Chael Sonnen is the true champion,undefeated and undisputed

Learn a bit of wrestling from rashad evens and how gsp does his take down i very respectful to. This wrestlers what they put there body and training

CHAEL SONNEN 04/03/1977 - † 07/07/2012 - RIP

Chael is the MAN!

The owners of RU-vid are Sergei and Larry, guys who own Google. Im not sure you understand how commercials work...or business..

Hey is there a site where I can check out the old and new rules?

i wanna know that reversal he did when the guy got him in the single leg that was sick

Of Course Judo is my Sport, it's the best Sport in the world, but i really enjoyed watching Freestyle Wrestling in the Olympics, man That Jordan Burroughs is a BEAST!! And Chael Sonnen is Awesome.

Is this live or drills? I want to learn that single leg counter.

was he a wrestling coach in the university of oregon?

1:28 anyone know the name of that single-leg counter?

I wanna learn how to do that roll at 1:30

truely a beast

you're probably right, because Anderson was always very humble when speaking about himself... he would always say he wasn't the best, but that BJ Penn was the best

1:32

THE REAL CHAMP!!

What are the name of the two wrestlers at 1:15 ?

Chael has 2 silver medals at the world's, of course he knows wrestling

what are the new rules?

brasil,anderson silva!

hee wrestler how you call that takedown on 2:19 its like a high crotch lift but not the same see that alot from sonnen

No greater truth, "You can find out at the Trials, and you can find out again in 20 minutes."

2:18 looks pretty familiar to Brian Stann

I do agree some people act like that because they think they know MMA from watching but you really don't until you step into a gym.

Also most of them have never experianced being in a losing fight.Its one of the most humbling things ever.Most of them dont truley apreciate what these men are doing.

I think that stigma is more because of the guy's who own nothing but affliction shirts and have never stepped into a cage in their lives.

@mikelovestacos I wouldn't say that....College Kolats can go for upwards of $400

Sakuraba is also a submission specialist...Bjj. Most japanese fighters are submission specialist. Aoki might be the best though.

@wheresmyrematch mad?? no lol why would i be. im just confused and very curious about what makes you think that. i honestly want to know what you're thinking

your name says enough

I can't wait to see his 3rd title defense scheduled in june, which is against none othr than the man who he took the belt from, Anderson silva.

@DestroyerAlexandros You can compare the two. they're both ground arts, and jits is not just for self defense, you can kill with it. bjj is superior becuase it has things wrestling doesn't.

Pause exactly @ 1:19 Enter caption....

Back when Chael just was who he is.

There is a bunch of haters making stupid posts. I wonder if the haters saw chael submit shogun in the first round while putting on a wrestling clinic

@PissingOnYourMother so how much did u win

Jordan Burroughs and Jake Varner both have legit shots at the gold. And Hazewinkle beating Cejudo should put him in contention for the gold medal. Jake Herbert should do well too, but I see him coming away with the bronze at the end of the day.

The conept of both sports are different, a BJJ practitioner doesn't have to be in a dominant position to win.

@ilIuminaughty i actually don't think shamrock was a collegiate wrestler. the only great wrestlers i can think of off hand that royce fought were dan severn and matt hughes.

I know Wright?

1:35 what move is that

@ilIuminaughty just looked it up, and the only collegiate wrestler royce ever beat was dan severn. bjj is great, but to unequivocally say it's better than wrestling doesn't make much sense to me. the fact that 3 of the current ufc champs were collegiate wrestlers should tell you something (which doesn't even include gsp who may have the best wrestling in mma).

@ilIuminaughty i would say that wrestling and bjj cancel each other out more than one is superior to the other. a high level bjj artist will have a hell of a struggle getting a high level wrestler to the ground, but the wrestler will be in more danger if the fight does go to the ground.

@DestroyerAlexandros Some wrestling isn't just sport. What they teach police officers or some people in the navy is submission wrestling, but it's use is limited. Wrestling and bjj? It's like comparing a bow and arrow to a machine gun. Both can kill, but what's he more rational and useful weapon?

I'm team chael sonnen all the way baby his style is just beautiful and brutal he punishes any fucker unlucky enough to fight him

@wheresmyrematch first of all thats not how hommie is spelled lol. and secondly i agree Chael was obviously Silva's toughest fight, but the fact that he survived all 5 rounds of Chael's wrestling and then came back to tap him out, makes Silva even more the champ. so just tell me how you believe Sonnen is the true champ when he is the one who quit

He should learn judo to combat his lack of Submission defence and also Judo particarly Kosen Judo is straight to the Point

If people were perfect.We could'nt be people at all.Cheers :-)

@wheresmyrematch His trolling is so good that you believe what he is saying !

he was wearing ringers

Ok

please explain to me how he lost 3 times in a row. I'd love to understand that.

Fighters are both good. Why cant you guys like both fighters? makes it a better fight to you because you dont care who wins.

chris weidman us wrestler

"douch", yes yes i think that all the time

really... i feel bad wearing a mma shirt on the way for my trainings

Basically drug free! Love Chael 😂

Wrestling is a key component of fighting, and that is where America has a head start on most other countries as it is practised in their school cirriculum. I would like to see it in the English schools primarily for the competition side of it and the general healthy lifestyle it promotes (to be good at it). Though I expect the politically correct do gooders will never allow it.

at least we can spell

Seeing as the best fighters in the world use more than just BJJ, I would have to agree. BJJ doesn't matter much if you can't bring the guy to the ground.

BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU IS THE BEST WE ARE UNBEATABLE!

ok

wait....what??

that is one lucky son of a bitch to be getting hands on training with Chael Sonnen

tell that to gracies who got smacked by Sakuraba multiple times.

I hate the title of this video lol we already knows that Chael Sonnen

now you need to know BJJ.

@wheresmyrematch nope lol.

@DestroyerAlexandros bjj could fight on and off he back. wresttling really couldn', though a lot of modern day wrestlin copies a crazy things bjj does

Or it could work the other way, people who can really fight want to test the guy who is wearing the shirt because there is a malacious joy in pounding someone who is posturing. You can wear anything you want, but the secret to life is carrying yourself in a way that is reflective of who you are. No one minds someone for not being tough who makes no bones about it; if you'd rather paint or study math than do MMA or vise versa, god bless . It's all about being true to yourself; not fronting.

Looks like they're wrestling on an ice rink

@Marcus Doesntmatter lawl

oh.........so sorry

Clearly he does! he's wearing the most expensive wrestling shoe ever

@DestroyerAlexandros who cares about a takedown competition? Do you think you'll win just because you an throw someone or take them down? ^ No. thats why bjj is so renown

Fuck new rules....Lets go to mma :)

@DestroyerAlexandros BJJ guys can absolutely control he transition. That's part of what they do

I speak 3 languages and English was my third language.Sorry if I dont know how to spell everything.

@DestroyerAlexandros There is a thing called styles. That's why Jits dominated all the styles in early ufc. Now everyone uses it one way or another

@DestroyerAlexandros passive habits of bjj? You honestly think throwing people is the end all of a fight? I thought you were trollin but you might just be wacky. Search judo or wrestling vs bjj. See how the bjj wins?

USA Wrestling is so good .. because you do not beat Anderson Silva?

And to think the IOC is trying to rid the Olympics of this sport that is older than their modern existence.
