Chael was the best ever on the mic

nope

not even close
he was that terrible
that he was pretty much sucking bisping off so bisping doesn't trash talk him and embarrass him

lmao
you deluded casual OP
 
Chael is definitely one of the more complicated and interesting fighters in UFC history. On the one hand, he was a fantastic showman that did bring in the era of self-promotion. I have very mixed feelings on that because while it gave some fighters an avenue to make even more money and gain more exposure, it has also lead to a delegitimizing of the sport aspect, which I think causes much more long-term harm to the UFC and MMA.

On the other hand, he was a true contender at 185lbs, and he has a few impressive wins at 205lbs. His history of PEDs is pretty bad, but unlike some fighters [cough, Josh Barnett, cough] he never made excuses for it, and he owns it every time.

Ultimately, I think Chael makes the sport as a whole better because he injects a very unique element, and I think a lot of his commentary is truly insightful. I like to hear what he has to say on some subjects, but I turn off when he starts to shill too much for Dana White and Conor McGregor. However, I'll always appreciate this classic line:

" You tell Anderson Silva that I'm coming over and I'm kicking down his backdoor and patting his little lady on the ass and I'm telling her to make me a steak, medium-rare just how I like it.”
 
Definitely the best in MMA, never even really uses profanity unlike the other top trashtalkers (Conor, Bisping) yet is very slick. On top of that he was undefeated and undisputed.
 
I wish they did post fight press conferences with all the fighters after the fights again, so they can argue and give us amazing moments.

Why did they stop doing that? They're so boring now
 
I guess if you like that wwe aspect he brings. Give me real fighter quotes like number one bullshit, don’t blink, if you’re coming on, come on and 90% of fighting is half mental. None of this scripted nonsense.
 
Too bad his balls never dropped, so it was impossible to take him seriously in that high pitched voice.
 
Conor is easily, I'd even say Bisping and Cruz are better too. Chael sounds like a WWE wrestler. Everything sounds rehearsed like he's reading off a script, nothing comes off as improved.
 
Like eating glass while listening to nails on chalkboard. Yeah, he's like that.
 
You used to be able to call/text that number and he’d answer every damn time. Even after the first Anderson fight when he was the hottest guy in MMA for a year or 2.

Yeah, he had to change it after sending too many dick pics.
 
Chael and Bisping are 1A and and 1B for me. Bisping during Rockhold 2 pre and post fight press conference was pure gold. They need to bring back the big post fight pressers once Covid is done imo
 
Colby tries to be like Chael but is too unfunny and unlikable I guess that actually makes him the better "heel"
 
Mad respect for any combat athlete and Chael gets that no doubt.
Where I really have to absolutely give it up for Chael is he was a TRUE world class great at juicing, tapping out, mortgage fraud and money laundering..
Ultimately, like a true republican, he just couldn't stop running his mouth the whole time.
 
Damn, he gave us some true classics over the years. Undefeated in the octagon, unchallenged on the mic.


unlike "whose line is it, anyway?" Chael actually seemed to improvise his lines.

Sorry folks but Conor and Bisping win this due to not stealing their best lines from pro-wrestling promos and just repeating them.

He straight up stole a 1976 Superstar Billy Graham promo after his win over Bisping I believe it was.
 
Far and above the trash talking "____ mother fucker!" lines that these guys put out now. For real though, I think the term mother fucker exploded in MMA a handful of years ago. Everyone and their mom was/is saying it.
 
He was able to talk trash without seemingly taking any of it personally himself. He wasnt emotionally invested,it just rolled off his tounge. It was definitley the kind of stuff a heel manager like Jim Cornette would say.
