Was very nice of Chael to have DC and Anik on here.

[LincolnsRepeater]

UFC would pull such big numbers if they used The Bad Guy more in these pieces they produce.
I wonder how Anik and Cormier felt being so close to greatness. Undefeated. Undisputed

[BVB-lkyb]

Putting Chael on the cover is genius by the UFC. Everybody wants to see the GOAT in his element

[nationalltj]

Chael touching on it their really made me think about Usman and how respectful and humble he is to the game people may call him cringe but in defeat against Leon I’ve seen many fights in MMA and Boxing that is THE BEST response I have seen from a fighter for losing the respect he showed to Leon afterwards was admirable and really won me over he really was just enjoying the lifestyle of being champion and Leon was just trying to sell a fight in the build up and then taking that fight on 8 days notice I think it was in a weight class he’s never fought in coming of the back of two straight losses and almost winning and still being extremely humble in defeat brother as a Brit who was screaming in joy and tears when Leon kicked him in the head he really has won me over

They should work with chael more. One of the best commentators going

[SpikeLace-boxg]

Strickland becoming champion still gotta be best and shocking moment of the year

[brandonglover]

Watching liddel shake his head after hugging strickland was hilarious

[dhdfhdhhth]

Great year for MMA, here's hoping 2024 is even better

[KingHoop]

Chael is the best commentator in the game …. Ufc you need him on tv more

[Chaos_Murakumo]

Chael getting all the names wrong is hilarious.

[michaelbrianlowe]

Chael was a nice touch! Everyone loves a bad guy! 🤟

[gearoidodwyer]

Chael is best at getting his point across, surely Dana can see how great he would be as a commentator for live events not just an analyst!!

[owenbrown]

Chael pronouncing Pereira different every time has me rolling

[Chessete]

Love when they do recaps like this and Jon Anik always the perfect host for it.

[RilzGames]

Uncle Chael undefeated, undisputed, best in the world

[Helspyre]

For me, Zombie was the epitome of going out on one's shield. Forever respect.

[Cagesidetvmma]

Chael needs to be way more involved. He’s the best commentator in the ufc

[ESPSJ]

Chael has some serious onscreen talent. Also what's with the UFC and suga sean, they care way more about him than fans ever will lol

[BedrockMMA]

2023 was one of the best year for mma, huge upsets, new champions great storyline.

[adamf]

This is basically a Suga show with some UFC highlights in between. I get the UFC is pushing him but Strickland literally had one of the upsets of the year against one of the greatest MW of all time and gets a 2 second shout out, you know who’s brand friendly.
