Media Chael Sonnen - "Heavyweights Suck, They've Always Sucked"

[Shilajit]

He's confident Jon wins

Starts at 12:30

He's right by the way. Ngannou said the same thing. That he believes Jones will have more success at HW because LHW is the vastly more technical division.

 

[tomjones]

Time will tell.

 

[PlasticFishBowl]

HW does suck, but LHW also sucks. So…hard to say.

 

[Fergelmince]

He always sounds like he's yelling at a mic on the other side of the room. It's the main reason I can't listen to the guy.

 

[rear naked ankle pick]

He is calling out all of sherdog then

 

[Unheralded Truth]

 

[CPH]

They do generally suck, but depending on the era, the top 2-4 are real talents. Jones is about to fight the most talented HW of his generation.

 

[Ramon Antonio]

The last time he fought a HW he got knocked the fuck out.

 

[Shilajit]

Fedor was more like a lhw or even mw masquerading as a HW. Chael showed up to his retirement and always speaks very highly of him, so obviously places him in a different category.

 

[Flboycanscrap2]

Thank you for this Uncle Chael. Unify LHW and HW so we have 1 decent weight class. Any buffoon who has ever asked for a 225 lb weight class needs to get out of the sport instantly.

 

[TGArthur]

it's almost as if Chael says contrarian things to garnish attention and viewership.

 

[Trabaho]

Why don't MWs and LHWs moved up and get that money. Should be easy. Never happens.

Sometimes

But when he's serious and actually analyzes things, he's very good.

 

[WaylonMercy5150]

imagine how muddy the waters would be with a cruiserweight division.

 

[m249viking]

Why do we need a thread anytime chael farts or McGregor takes his shirt off?

 

[sleepyguard85]

If HW sucks so bad then please tell why all these LHWs dehydrate themselves to make 205. I’ll wait.

Gotta be able to draw that line in this industry

Exactly. I draw that line by never listening to him.

 

[Airmanik]

I only came to this thread to see GIFs of Fedor ragdolling Chael.

Like, when? When has he ever said anything useful?

He's just shilling for UFC and promoting Jones. Gane is nothing like the other HWs, neither was Ngannou. They are A-Level athletes compared to the rest of the division. People think that fighters can just replicate what Ngannou did, you have to factor in most fighters don't have the strength and size of Ngannou.
