Chael Sonnen on the most important skill set in MMA

Chael Sonnen talks about the most important skill set in MMA

[chenzenzo]

These talks are Masterclasses in fighting in the ring.

[homelessjoe]

Above all Sonnen's greatest asset has been his mouth. With that one tool he has been able to reach  heights very few fighters of his fighting skill could achieve.

I don't know why people hate on this dude this guys the man

[erikt]

boxing/wrestling/bjj/some kicking discipline such as muay thai? then u are comfortable anywhere the fight goes - to me that is most important, your comfort level - if you are relaxed and aren"t worried about where the fight will end up u should be ok - fighting is mental as much as anything, just my opinion

[antonyneal]

I think discipline and heart are two sides of the same coin in some ways maybe.

[TaylorGangTGOD]

That is the first time I have agreed with what Chael said

[ramrod]

There are four Martial Art disciplines that make a MMA champion...Boxing, Wrestling, Jiu Jitsu & Mauy Thai. If you are very good at three of them, you will be a champion!

Just upload the whole interview in one video, jeez.

[mdavis]

you don't need a collar to pull off Judo in MMA, lots of athletes have implemented it into their game, just go simply type in 'Best Judo Takedowns in MMA' and see how useful it can be in MMA

[erikt]

be great at one of those disciplines and at least proficient in the other 3 and its all good

[DZ]

Saying someone doesn't want to go to practice but does anyway is simply not compatible with the English language. If you go to practice, then you want to. You may want to for any number of different reasons, but you still go because you want to go.

[megasif]

Bruce Lee says it is not enough to know, but do....I say it is not just do, but risk.

[abobby]

if u want then u cant but if u wont then what u want maybe want to be wanted cause u want to go train lets keep wanting

[MarcoDGallego]

Not a very smart guy. That's all nice, but we all know that the question was about fighting skills, i.e. wrestling, bjj, kickboxing, judo, etc. That's what we all wanna know. That's what he's being asked. His answer would be good as a complement of the true answer that is being procured.

[MasterFighting]

I honestly think that Ronda could tear apart atleast a few of the bantamweight men in ufc

[GODTHESOOTHSAYER]

Those are:"disciplinary actions?" That means you are being disciplined, scolded or put in your place... That's ok...Chael was tired from his workout...

[andersonsilva-krjv]

hes all talk never baks up what he says

[jtshen]

Fightmagazine is just stingy... trying to boost their view count

[MasterFighting]

if judo isn't any good then why does ronda rousey dominate eveybody she fights. gi is a big part of BJJ also

[ramrod]

Judo is good for street fighting but not MMA. You don't have a collar to grab to make your throws.
