This is how we used to train MMA... 

Chael so humble he talks about couture and hendo's achievements but doesn't mention his undefeated undisputed record

Important time stamps: 2:59-leg cross 13:34-leg cross

This background is nearly as big of a flex as the biggest arms in West Linn.

Chael “Perfectly Centered” Sonnen

Slow down Chael, I haven’t even finished the previous video.

Chael "The Brazilian nightmare" Sonnen

Wait, is that Max Holloway on a surfboard behind Chael?

US Military: hey uncles chaels filming nearby let's give him a flypast.

Back in 2000 I was training with a excellent Thai trainer who wanted me to move to wrestling. I was in my early 20s and had strong conditioning and was prime to advance in the sport. Or so I thought. I was sent to Randy to train with him and spoke to him at his rockwood gym which was a mile from my apartment. He offered me a chance to join and said I was just the right size to help him train for a up coming fight. Catch was I had to pay some small amount a month. Randy had his guy call me to set me up in the system with auto withdrawal from my bank. At the time I was so broke struggling to feed my family and house us, I couldn’t afford the messily 75$ a month Randy wanted for me to join his gym. I got called like 2 or 3 times by some guy from Randy’s gym telling me to come down and start. But I told him I couldn’t afford it and that was the last I heard of them. A few months later I stopped training due to life. Then had a motorcycle accident an destroyed my right leg. That was the end of me ever kicking anything other then rocks down the road. I ended up with a titanium rod in my femur holding it together and lost all skill what so ever I ever had In my strong leg. No dexterity no strength. Nothing. Like a limp noodle for years. Took me 5 years to be able to run again after that wreck. Guess what sport took off and guess who was on prime time tv? 😆 Randy. My old m t trainer ended up training a small had full of guys who made it to the ufc and got some pretty big fights. It was a Weird feeling to watch someone who trained you be ring side at a Vegas fight. Talk about feeling like a has been. 😂 more like a never was. Biggest mistake in my life. Being broke at the wrong time. 75 messily dollars. 😒 sheesh.... 75$.......

What I love about Chael when he talks fighting is that he's always positive. I don't recall critizicing another fighter in regards to his fighting. He totally blasts them on other stuff like press and promoting, but not the fighting. He clearly loves the sport and loves what everybody does with it. He's curious and open minded. Good for him. That's what makes him elite in my book.

"Randy Couture was the UFC champion of the world! Dan Henderson was Pride Champion of the world... Evan Tanner would end up becoming the UFC champion of the world"... And then there was Uncle Chael schooling their asses every single round.

I want to see the sparring video between Chael and Nate.

Let's get Wonderboy a title shot. Wonderboy vs Usman!

“I just described baseball to you” hilarious

Chael: They’re all sweating 4-5 pounds from this long hard drill There has to be a joke here

finally uncle chael using green screen technology 😁

This is why Chael got triangled... man... if only he'd known how to get out of triangles at that point. No wait... I'm in an alternate timeline - Chael never got triangled!

Where did you get that Ocean themed wallpaper.

Nice setting ! And if I didn’t say it yet: I love hearing your stories Chael so please keep telling them. GO CHAEL !

Chael "Wes Anderson" Sonnen

That's the best background I ever seen on the Sonnen show

Confidence literally means "with faith"

Great talk and great insight! Thank you!

Old school knowledge is usually GOLD! 👏🙏🔥

Damn the relaxing sound of Cheals voice mixed with the loud chaotic sounds of the sea is good mix

Tony can be seen in the background at 7:22 like a shark in water

These are the types of videos i love

Great insight! Thank You for your time and thoughts! -Peace & Love Team Quest ✊

You know you got "IT" when you reach 750k subs in a relatively short time. Gotta love that Chael :)

What’s up uncle Chael thank you for the stories love and respect to you and yours.!!!

That’s some big name fighters Chael! You, Colture, Henderson and Tanner! I had the privilege to meet Evan Tanner and have a chat with him. Cool dude with a cool story. I still have ( and wear) the “Believe” T shirt he signed. RIP

I grew up down the street from team quest, so I love hearing stories like this. 👍🏻

Seriously, that view is beautiful, and that sound in the back

Uncle chael really has an eye for backdrops

Real cool of the military to stop by and show respect to Chael like that

Exotic Chael has emerged ladies and gentlemen

That’s funny. I also sparred with Mayhem Miller like 10 years ago at Reign Training Center. He beat my ass too 🤣 I was 15 at the time 🤣🤣🤣

Damn Chael looks like he is some suuuuper fancy hotel ! I appreciate him thinking about us even on vacation !

Digging the mix up in backgrounds

Chaels arms: I’m here to train The gym: I can’t let you do that, you and Chael train at a different gym! Chaels arms: it’s ok I brought a note

With that background and all the talk about confidence I feel like Chael is getting ready to start pitching self help seminars.

At this point you’re saying “it’s one of these things” when it’s not even one of those things

I spent 3 months at Team Quest and worked out with the fight team, best times of my life. Pretty wild to look back on now, wrestling with Mat Lindland on my first day, sparring with Randy Couture then Evan Tanner and Chael giving me tips afterwards. I was out there by myself so Greg Piper and Robert Follis (both of whom passed to soon) really made me feel at home. Such a great community and I feel lucky to have had a glimpse.

Hey Chael, football is a pretty interesting sport, especially with practice. You’ll actually see that as you go through high school, to college, to NFL, they’ll scrimmage less as the skill goes up. When you get to the NFL you know all the basic techniques like tackling by heart, whereas in high school and college you’ll see more scrimmaging because they still need to learn fundamentals. Training is very interesting to me because you can basically have success with anything as long as you believe in it and have purpose behind it.

I could watch Chael essentially describe every single sport

That's one hell of a background! 👌

Weather looks beautiful

Them gunz are as thick as those poles holding the roof.

My favourite Chael memory is when he fought for the WEC belt and the champ (Paulo Filho) missed weight, so Chael beat him so badly that by the end of the fight Paulo was talking to ghosts inside the cage. To this day Paulo still remains a shell of his former self, as do all of Chael's other opponents.

I love the new set

Damn chael I'm still on the heavy weight video. Unc doing big things

Uncle Chael training... It just one of those things

I love how the choppa flies right behind Chael. Lol

It took the second video for Chael to say anything about the planes 😂

Jan Blachowiz kind of talked about this in his interview with Bisping on his podcast. When he was on his losing streak he realized because he's in a new city, new gym, with new coaches. He started winning again when he went back to his coach that knew how to work with him and his particular style.

This is how we used to do it. We'd show up. Okay, train.

I know mayhem Miller has his issues right now but I would love to hear chael interview him on this channel. They have so much history. Between the sparring session he just mentioned and then actually fighting and the cage breaking.

chael went to an undisclosed naval base in some remote topical region, set up a camera, and will now upload a total of 85 hours of mma commentary in the next 7 days

Junior % senior year go to a local HS coaches summer camp than eventually switch schools there. If you weren't gets balls hit at you relentlessly you were running bases. If not hitting you were doing other drills. 1st practice more beneficial than the dozens and dozens previous. Love your show brother.

Chael “I’m only sharing this with you because” Sonnen

I just hope that one day Tony Ferguson will do a youtube full 30 min workout that anyone can follow along

Chael Sonnen: the the great baseball expert

3:35 is this when Matt Lindland reached out to Matt Thornton for grappling instruction? I was training with Thornton at that time.

I bet the air is super fresh out there

You had Robert, he was ahead of everyone

chael on a damn SPREE

Crazy oldschools storys from sonnen

Chael doesn't go on vacations, vacations go to him.

I go to Caesar Gracies and all of sudden I’m fighting Nate Diaz 😂😂😂

When he said "big gloves or little gloves" I started laughing out loud because that's exactly how we used to do it

SAD BUT, SO TRUE!!

Special guest Wanderlei.

Live reps are actually huge in baseball chael

“Ya get allllllllll sweaty.”

My sister was MVP of the state championship of a very competitive high school basketball team and no matter the weather she came home after practice or a game in another sport and shot 100 free throws 7 days a week. Technique and drills make champions!

Everyone notice how the planes are flying.........AWAY......from Unc!!

Chael: "naiveness" "Naivety": am i a joke to you?

R u in Abu Dhabi?

Without even starting the video I already know that there is no easy way around hard work in the practice room, especially if you want to retire undefeated and undisputed

5:21 lmao 🤣

Stipe is beast

Chael "And I'm only sharing this with you" Sonnen

True

...never change this setup, XD...

Chael: "Mayhem hit me so hard, I put my hands down to give him a chance to apologize. He hit me again." Chael: ... Chael: "Oh, they fight here!" Haha, that mental picture is hilarious.

Izzy wanted to fight Jones but he said he was not ready m, once Jones announces he is going to HW, a couple of months later after he clearly put on weight. Hey I am ready to go lightweight to fight a champ who is not a big name. Hopefully the polish power comes through. He ran from Romero after that 1st left.

That sounds like the early days of wrestling dominance. You were world class athletes that knew how to condition and compete. It's still arguably the best base but MMA has become a martial art in of it's own. That's that I think has happened.

It’s some version of the H-60. Chael is right

Tom aspinall is a potential future champ imo

Go Live!!!

5:20 They're looking for The Bad Guy

As much as anything, this is a message to Dana... let's see TJ in a title fight this year.

Chael looks like The Dali Lama of MMA...

nice background

Never piss of a gangster #thebadguy

Hey Chael, what do you think would have happened if you had made it to the second round with Jones and got the DQ/DNF win off the toe? Do you think it would have kept you in UFC longer? I'm inclined towards this weird belief that if you had made it to round two and won that way that you honestly wouldn't be in that chair now(at least not as watched.) See you would have been the one guy to beat Jones but chances are that if you lost the rematch you would have just been a guy who challenged two of the most dominant fighters then had them come back, Jones would look unstoppable still but he'd actually be able to draw because of risk. I think when you broke his toe and he beat you still, it was probably his peak and the start of his interest decline. I also think that one of the reasons people came to love you is because of your losses where people were like "the sunofabitch almost pulled it off." It's exciting, you talked all the smack but you didn't just give your all on the microphone you also went at trained killers like "fuck you, you can't wrestle like me.". It beats the guy with every physical advantage who plays the safest style game in every fight. Jon Jones hasn't "banged" one time in a striking exchange. I dunno, my opinion. But yeah, any thoughts? Just a fun hypothetical.

Chael “Ocean Front” Sonnen

9:41 Yes. EPO does work. Lol

He makes some great points. You can always improve your craft. Besides, sparring hard all the time just makes your career shorter.

Yes! They are champions of the world! We're not. We're a bunch of weekend warriors that need to learn how to fight. These guys know how to fight. We're still working on it. Sure we do the touch sparring too but for us, it's important to hit and get hit.
