Chaels says a big part of wrestling that helps him in fighting is his mentality. He understands that it is not good enough to just be a good wrestler anymore and works consistently on his entire game to become a well rounded fighter.
I just missed my competition yesterday because I was sick...I feel like now I'm a quitter and that's who I really am, and that I just blew my chance at being like this guy
Chael is the best pure wrestler in the UFC. Maybe the likes of Lesnar have a better record at college but in terms of bringing it to MMA Chael is the most effective. I just hope he learns some submission defense
Good point, he does do a little jiu jitsu, even trained at Gracie Jiu Jitsu, I heard him say in another interview, I just think he's all about smashing people to the ground and getting them ferocious punches in I've got to give him that much credit though.
@dicweed11 no. best example of how chael's pure wrestling helps him everywhere is when he found himself underneath silva, but used his pure wrestling to scoop silvas legs and end up back on top. gsp doesn't have an example like this. chael being the more well rounded pure wrestler is what makes gsp the close second.
if Chael didn't trash talk no one would give a shit about his fights. The fact that he says stuff like 'i'm going to slap your wife on the ass' makes the fight so much more personal which makes it entertaining. He doesn't mean what he says, but if he didn't say this type of thing, he wouldn't be the hottest thing in UFC today.
GSP isnt undefeated. Matt hughes n matt serra beat him. And Chael is now 2 full wweight classes above GSP so its hard to say who would win. Both amazing fighters and wrestlers.
So Cain can drop the 100+lbs. to fight an Aldo or Bendo? Also could we throw cartoon characters in here to rank who would beat who since there is the same likelihood of them fighting a ufc fighter as a heavyweight dropping 4 or 5 weight classes
Explain how Cain Velasquez is going to move down the Benson Henderson, GSP' or Jose Aldo's weight class. IT'S NOT POSSIBLE! So you are seriously calculating a fantasy "what if" list that has zero percent possibility of ever being tested or tried. Nice language pal you seem like a real internet badass
