How would a prime Lord Chael do in todays MW division?

Chael and his son

Lord Chael with Vinny in his camp would probably be undefeated.

 

[Jackonfire]

Remember that time Chael fought Rashad and used both his feet to tap out?

Looked like he was trying to swim away...

 

[Perrichet]

The division when Sonnen was the number 2 guy is miles away from the division now. He would get wrecked by the top 8

 

[Individualthoughtpatterns]

Probably would still be undefeated in todays ufc but I'll admit that the competition is slightly tougher now as opposed to when Chael was cleaning out the division. Still, what an incredible championship run Chael had.

He had staph.

 

[Perrichet]

Prime? You mean juiced to the gills? He'd get permanently banned by USADA

Why would he? Anderson hasn't.

 

[IGotAHugePeckah]

He'd get killed by guys like Rockhold, Weidman, Romero, Whitaker, etc.

 

[Fight Professor]

Top 15

 

[Shadowthrone]

He'd do so many steroids/peds there wouldn't be any left for the other fighters and then crush the entire division.

 

[PapaBherd]

Choke. Like he typically does...

 

[Jackonfire]

He had staph.

Well then he shouldn't have been swimming.

Prime Chael I'll give better chances to than most

Whittaker - if Chael can get Whittaker on the ground it's his fight. Think Chael vs Marquardt

Weidman - I favor Chael. He can gas Weidman. I'd think Weidman would still win a 3 round fight 29-28 but in a 5 round fight I got Chael 48-47.

Jacare - Chael gets subbed

Romero - Chael gets KTFO

Rockhold - Chael gets subbed

Brunson - Chael gets KTFO

Machida - 50/50 fight imo. Machida can KO him or Chael can grind on Machida.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Chael would put Brunson on his ass comfortably for 3 or 5 rounds. You pick.

You realize no one has outwrestled Brunson. He comfortably outwrestled Romero for 2 and a half rounds.

Brunson loses because you knock him out not because you outwrestle him. Chael isn't knocking him out.

 

[Slatersan]

Not well. He was a wrestle boxer who wasnt good at the boxing part.

 

[JimtheJake]

He's pretty much 1-1 with the goat?
Yeah 0-2 is not like 1-1

 

[BBMN]

Lets not forget that he's pretty much 1-1 with the greatest of all time.

Dude openly jokes about how roided to the teeth he was, and he still couldn't finish a guy with broken ribs.

Please.... stop....

 

[RemyR]

He’d be champ

 

[NaughtyBoy]

He'd be dead.

Lol at Lord Chael...

Unless you can provide X-rays or medical documentation of injured ribs, there's zero proof. And Anderson didn't really seemed to be affected by it.
