Chael standing there like he is the translator 😂

Joaquin should’ve hired Tito to be in his corner to make this more interesting

Chael looking like the final boss in that lighting

[TheJonOrtiz]

Too much star power for one room so the lights went out 😂

[zehreelamachar]

ESPN has really outdone itself this time - 720p videos and a lighting malfunction, the perfect combo for a nostalgic viewing experience.

[DantesPerineum]

Colby is CHEESIN with Uncle Chael by his side

[dnash]

Fun to hear Chael talking again, best talker UFC ever had

[khanwebb]

Man Chael is decent. He has supported Colby forever. No matter the loss or situation, he always stands on business.

[TheDoughGetta]

Colby has a pro wrestling manager cutting his promo like Jimmy Hart.

[Haze]

Colby really went from evil villain to shy school boy

[brandonwolff]

Chael has known Colby since he was 13 yrs old. They have a genuine relationship it's great to see.

[MBoyer-ngok]

Chael is like the old school manager of the "bad guys" from WWE....

Colby Is headlining a fight night card, the final banger of 2024, has uncle Chael at his side / speaking for him during the ceremonial weigh-ins, there's a blackout going on during this interview... This is a trippy Friday the 13th for sure! 😄👊

RESPECT to Megan showing real-time improvisation when the power went out. Addressed it, continued the interview with ZERO panic/lapses, allowing the interview to remain running smoothly. Incredible professionalism. Its minor yet notable circumstances like this that continuously demonstrate her to EASILY be the best women's reporter/personality in MMA

Edit: lol for the people getting more triggered than trigonometry- in comparison, Sanko and/or Drama in a similar scenario would have 100% FOR SURE scrambled, and said something goofy along the lines of “oMg aRe wE bEiNg kiDnAppEd?¿”

[rickytpb]

Foxcatcher vibes are through the roof. This is immaculate.

[dawhitekobe]

Love seeing these two together on the mic and giving each other props. Duo we didn’t know we needed!

[nodafy]

The only fighter in history who is truly undefeated and undisputed. Khabib claims he's never lost a round yet he struggles to lose a pound
Uncle Chael is BACK

[frankiecal]

Chael looks like a proud father of son Colby.

[SatanSplainer]

I hope this isn’t Colby’s last fight if he losses. Having Chael in his corner for this made me think that

[bigben]

Hope everyone has fun and no one gets hurt
