  • Chael is definitely alot better at ground and pound at this point.

  • for sure a piece of plywood broke lose... @ 4:40

  • I think wrestling is a good weapon but if that's all you got, you are a weak fighter just like sonnen , and will have boring fights.

    What a joke of a fighter sonnen is.

  • boring fight only because both only knew simple moves...jab,takedown body jab,high kick wow.

  • Mayhem had a gogoplata at the very end of the fight. It looked like if he had a few more seconds he could have finished it.

  • you could hear both their girlfriends screaming and sounding like idiots the entire time

  • Has Mayhem ever beat a good fighter?

  • @jackdaripper9 he is a 'good' fighter but in this day in age being a 'great' fighter is the only way you can even be a title contender. In the bisping fight he started well but gassed out.(if that is what you are basing your opinion on).

  • I like both guys but man they both looked shitty in this fight.

  • Got to say, it would be tough to fight that. But when he "shoots" for the takedown, why not send a knee to the shoulder or head?

  • It's like they were fighting on a waterbed after a few of those slams. Hey that's a good idea they should start doing that.

  • the cage did break at 2:30, notice how they skip ahead in the fight after chael slams him, and then at 4:39 you can see Chael walking on that area and its all wobbly and fucked up

  • Comment removed

  • 2:30 is when the stage breaks

  • that floor is fucked.

  • miller had fucking nothing lol

  • minute 5:09 bitches!!!

  • Chael ca'nt end you enemy

  • You don't SEE it break, but you see it broken. Watch the start of round two at about 5:10 when Chael steps on the spot he slammed Miller, the left side pops up.

  • Comment removed

  • now miller's biggest weakness is his takedown defence, and here he was not as great in bjj as he is now, I would like to see a rematch between the two

  • 1:30 elbows to the back of the head WIN

  • i love chael

  • Chael sonnen needs a boyfriend, the guy has a Hungry for hugs !!

  • @TheFucker669 If you think wrestling is gay then you probably are what people call a internet warrior, looking at your enthusiasm of ninjitsu (perhaps one of the most illegitimate martial arts ever created) you probably did some traditional martial art as kid that gave you no ability to actually fight but yet you think you know how to. Kid stfu while the big boys do the work, the only thing you are good at is being a hater of those that could kick your ass. Gratz fucker.

  • it looks like a trampoline.. maybe wind just got underneath the cover of it? :p i dont' see a clear hole to fall in though. but i'll tkae your word for it

  • What the fuck the moterfucker floor was broken!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The ref is fucking retarded

  • can't decide whether mayhem looks better bald or black with a red stripe.....great fighter though

  • who else came here to see if the cage floor broke?

  • @Teddybear419

    lol me

  • @Teddybear419 me too lol. i didnt see nothing though. i thought it was going to be like some wwf shit

  • floor broke during a different fight.

  • Love to see these 2 fight now

  • I guess the sprawl wasn't invented yet.

  • @tinylittlesecrets sprawl is an overrated technique. You go try and stop Chael Sonnen from taking you down.

  • @tinylittlesecrets I'd like to see you stop a Chael Sonnen NCAA national champion takedown, btw you can't sprawl when the cage is a foot away from you, considering the cage is small as hell

  • @tinylittlesecrets

    I think its millers big weakness. Not tested to much over in japan. Also does not help its chaels takedowns hes facing.

  • cmon ref!!!!!

    quit standing up when work is in progress

  • interesting.....I've grappled Miller in competition and training, and interviewed Sonnen a bit ago ww MMA4SelfDefense com if you want to check em out

  • @DanTheWolfman1 dan i love your shit

  • I would love to see miller vs sonnen now....Miller was NOT that good of a Ju Jitsu guy back here, this time he was more of a thai boxer. Miller has come a long way in his chokes, he still has bad take down defence but he knows alot mroe when he is on the ground, and sonnen....always has trouble with submissions.

  • What a cheap production.  Boring fight.

  • miller says the cage floor broke during a slam in this fight.. i don't see it.

  • @countyingula

    I think that was king of the cage (joe rogan experience too?)

  • @countyingula you can clearly see it move at 5:10. it did break.

  • @countyingula

    He says it happened when they were like 19. Theya re 24 in this.

  • @countyingula

    He says it happened(floor broke) when they were like 19. They are 24 in this. Correct me if im wrong.:)

  • @countyingula It happens at the 2:32 mark. Notice after he slams him the video restarts with them standing after replaying the slam a dozen times.

  • @countyingula He said when he was 19.  Maybe they fought before?

  • @countyingula 8 minutes in, can see the whole thing ripple

  • @countyingula When Chael slams Mayhem at about 2:37 look where Chael's knees hit the floor. Then at 4:40 watch the same spot right by Chaels feet (it will be your left).

  • @nick585 yeah @ 4:40 Cheal takes a step and the floor gives a bit.

  • If you take someone down do something

  • dumbass ref, ground fighting is part of the fight, kept standing them up when they are on the ground

  • I'm sad he lost but, damn, that dude took him down like 4 times.

  • thanks for that replay

  • We are talking nine years ago . Let´see what could happen today

  • that was bullshit miller is clearly better

    

  • @johnysalinas

    How was miller better?he got taken down like 10 times?nobody really landed anything in standup so Sonnen wins.

  • wrestling 101 by chael

  • chael!

    

  • i think miller had a choke but time ran out

  • @AintDoneYet123 he was going for a gogoplata

  • @kmb89144 i know what that is im just not sure it was really IN ya know

  • does miller not know how to sprawl?lol

  • @therealdeal209 have you ever wrestled a world class wrestler? there is no time to sprawl because they are unpredictable- the most important part of a shot is the set up

  • @georgeryan09 chael wasn't doing match setting up,he took him down like 50 times this fight. Idc what you say,if you train for a wrestler you better be workin on your sprawl

  • I got into a fight at the bar. The guy punched me in the face and broke my nose but I got 2 takedowns, so I definitely won.

  • @crazyriders83 you have to remember, this is a sport with a point system, until that changes, chael will be continually dominant

  • @mondaywar

    true

  • All Sonnen did was dry humped Mayhem up against the cage or on the ground.

  • @FergusonMMA

    this was a good fight.

  • 2:30 XD

  • Miller is Sonnen's little bitch. It would be an expectacle to see these two douchebags fight it out again not because of the fighting itself, but because of all the trash talking that would be bound to happen before and after the fight. I demand to be entertained! I Want a Sonnen, Miller rematch!!

  • i like the refs little inspirational outbursts

  • worst refferee ever

    

  • @zevmma Completely 100% agree the stand up at 4:25 was terrible.

  • @zevmma lmfao forreal bro

  • damn it jason all you had to do was get a triangle choke and you would have won

  • Sonnen = drug cheat and boring fighter.

  • Mayhem would beat him today, that fight was wen they both barley started fighting

  • Whats Sonnen gonna go for next- ahh! Another fucking takedown!! Lets see if he can do anything with it?!?! Haha nah forget that I think he'll just lay on top of Miller for ten minutes to get that W :D

  • Sonnen is a bitch. Always have the same game plan. Wrestle them to death and hope for a decision win after throwing a million ground and pound. So freaking one sided.

  • man I swear if Sonnen would have ko-GNP-power or like submissions he would've been one of the best because this guy can actually take down anyone and has a friggin beast cardio. Now he's just taking guys down and controlling them to a decision but it's such a waste since he could actually finish anyone of he had submissions or GNP knockout power.

  • I can't explain it, but I can't stand watching Sonnen fight. I guess I have to say I have respect for his ability to compete and compete well. And no worries, I didn't come here with the intent to comment in this manner, it just happened after I had to skip to 1 minute left to see who won.  He did manage to give Silva a good scare though..

  • I'd love to see this rematch because Mayhem is a lot bigger, stronger and more evolved now. Sonnen in all honesty hasn't changed.

  • @TheJASM4collection yes he had, this guy was taken down by a 21 year old mayhem current day sonnen beat okami, marquardt and filho who at the time was no2 ranked mw and arguably no1

  • No he hasn't. He follows the same gameplan. Go in the cage, walks to his opponent and goes for a double leg takedown. After that, ground and pound in opponents guard. Sonnen does that in every fight. All you need is a guy who knows how to sprawl and then Sonnen is fucked.

  • @TheJASM4collection yeah well i can't racall someone that can stop his takedowns so if it ain't broken don't fix it.

  • @mrco74 you realize that once he faces a guy like Mark Munoz, he's gonna get his ass kicked right?

  • @TheJASM4collection pff cmonson he had filho and okami on their backs and u r telling me he can't beat muñoz? anderson silva greatest striker of all times got outstriked by sonnen and muñoz got ktfo by K-1 hammil.

  • Ya, Filho and Okami can't wrestle. While Okami is a great judoka, Sonnen was an olympic wrestling alternate. Mark Munoz was a Division 1 wrestler. While that level of wrestling isn't as good, it's still counts as a big threat to Sonnen's wrestling plan in his fights. If a guy knows how to sprawl, sonnen is lost. BTW, Silva is a great striker, but not the greatest of all time. The only reason Sonnen outstruck him as well is because he pounded on him for 4 and a half rounds on the ground.

  • Finally, no one expected Matt Hamill to throw that high kick. Anyone would have been knocked out by that. Including Sonnen.

  • @TheJASM4collection nice excuse, lol noone expected that haha loser, if anderson isn't the GOAT of striking who da fuck is it?, prangley is a Div. 1 wrestler, oh yeah and if a guy knows to sprawl sonnen is lost is big bullshit if you think knowing how to sprawl automatically stops all takedowns tried at you then u are retarded.

  • It's not an excuse. I never said anything like "if Munoz didn't get kicked in the head, he would have won that fight." Munoz was a very small light heavy. He needed that loss to convince him to get in top shape and drop to middleweight. I also seem to remember he lost a split decision to Okami. There is no shame in that. If we're being serious here, the greatest striker in MMA history is either Gilbert Yvel, Alistair Overeem, Cro Cop or Cheick Kongo. Being unorthodoxed does not make you the best

  • If you watch all of those men fight and look at the technique they displayed, argueably one of them gets that title of greatest striker in MMA History. I acknowledge that Silva is a great striker because of how unorthodoxed and flashy he is, but that style leaves him open against wrestlers and great boxers. Prangley was a Division 1 wrestler, but he does not fight like a wrestler. Once he learned BJJ, he threw his wrestling credentials out the window.

  • I'm serious when I say this, get a wrestler like Mark Munoz against Chael Sonnen who is a great sprawler, Sonnen will have a lot of difficulty. Or even worse, Rashad Evans who was a shitty D-1 NCAA wrestler, but employs great wrestling in MMA.

  • @TheJASM4collection i dont think another wreslter has ever beat chael sonnen, i can't recall him being on a beatdown except the maia fight, and rashad is succesful because he knows how to mix it up, how to set up takedowns with powerful strikes and superior handspeed.

  • @mrco74 The only one that has is Trevor Prangley. Sonnen avenged that loss though. You're right about the Maia fight. He took Maia down, but once Maia got that choke hold on him, Sonnen was done.

  • @TheJASM4collection actually maia made a judo throw at sonnen to side control and made him a triangle from da mount.

  • @mrco74 I thought Sonnen took him down, Maia sunk in the triangle and then rolled him over to be in the mount position?

  • @TheJASM4collection no sent u alink from the full event it's da second fight

  • @TheJASM4collection

    Rashad is one of only 3 people to beat Greg Jones (126-4, 3x Nat Champ) in college.

    His record was like 48-34 I think. That is against the best. That isn't shitty.

  • @SMWLINY Good job citing wikipedia. Also, nice try acting like you knew this off the top of your head. Greg Jones may be one of the best collegiate wrestlers ever that Rashad Evans beat, but I know for a fact you can't tell me anything else about Rashad's wrestling credentials without looking them up.

  • @TheJASM4collection Who knew such an innocuous statement could be met with such rage. Angry little fella, ain't you!

  • @SMWLINY That wasn't an innocuous statement. You read the comments under this video real quick, saw what I said about Rashad and you quickly went on wikipedia because you're most likely a Evans fan and wanted to tell me off.

  • Man that bitch screaming in the background is annoying.

  • BORING ASS FIGHT

  • and now they train out of tteam quest

  • what year did this happen

  • @legandkiller92387 03/30/02

  • mayhem miller had to lose 30 pounds for the gsp fight and was odey skinny skelator like when he was fighting which was unhealthy he walks around at 202 he explains it in the joe rogan podcast but this fight he just explained that he kept taking him down and mayhem miller almost won with the d'arce choke against shields

  • @27muzik it was a RNC actually at the end of round 3 or 4 i think

  • anyone know what weight class this is? Or what weight Miller usually fights at?

  • @WastedTalent26 its middle weight they show the weight in the beginning of the video

  • chael sonnen is the biggest chocker in the world.....

  • @civicnation33 how so?

  • i really hate chael sonnen but tha dude is a monster by far one of tha best wrestlers in mma

  • i agree, even the fights sonnen lossed, every single 1 of the fights he had his way the whole fight, usually the triangle gets him, i picked him to win every second of every round with silva.. he is a beast

  • @voodoo9606 babalu sobral out wrestled him and beat the shit out of him......WRONG! lol just sayin bro

  • yawn

    !!

  • This was back in 2002, and Shields did the same thing to Mayhem 8 years later. Why didn't he tell himself he needed some strong wrestling defense and train it, so that he could never be manhandled like that again.

  • @chris1816 Don't forget how he got manhandled by GSP as well.

  • @Lrdvltr so did hughes so did penn

  • Sonnen is the most boring man to watch fight in MMA

  • @jaycw669 Have you watched Couture, or Fitch, or Machida?

  • @TheFalcon110 Yeah and all these guys are great fighters and I respect them but man... grinders, grapplers, wrestlers... and machidas lol.. all extremely boring to watch.. but then again I have a bias cause I train muay thai so obviously I love the stand up game more.

  • @jaycw669

    Just as many boring striking battles are there are boring grappling battles.

  • Not all wrestlers are boring. It's the wrestlers that grind and lay on people that are boring. As for the grapplers, it's the one who can't finish a fight with all their Jiu Jitsu knowledge that piss me off. Also, the Machida's piss me off too. lol But I agree with you. It's the striking aspect that makes it entertaining.

  • @jaycw669 if you think machida is boring you need to train much more cause you dont know fighting

  • @cricka09 machida is so boring! lol go watch him when he fought tito!!! hes boring as fuck

  • @jaycw669 dude yu are literally a mindless shithead. oh and the announcer guy is retarded

  • @jaycw669 how? he's the one of the busiest inside the guard gnpers in mma. That's why he got 2 FOTN in his last 2 fights?

  • @jaycw669 no thats jake shields

  • @jaycw669 HIM AND JAKE

  • @jaycw669 let's not forget jon fitch

  • @jaycw669 do you know what a good MMA fight looks like that? I've seen a lot of boring safety first wrestlers in MMA but Chael Sonnen is definitely not one of them. This is a guy who walked right up to Anderson Silva in the beginning of every round and traded leather with him without so much as a back pedal. He also never lays on guys against the cage, he either completes the takedown or he goes back to striking. He stays busy in full guard, half guard, in the clinch, and standing. C'mon son.

  • @ACE7Drew And he never finishes anyone.....

  • @jaycw669 ur crazy could u fight better

  • @jaycw669 no way did u see the beating he put on silva

  • @jaycw669 Agreed

  • @jaycw669

    This is the Sonnen from 2002.

    I bet you already saw his fights against SIlva and Marquardt. He didn't finish but he stayed very active the whole fights. And Nick Lentz or Couture is ten times more boring than Chael

  • this fight sucks. the guy,..churl is a boring wrestler. Oh noooo, take down #28. and then what ? lay down, no techniques. stand em up & ....take down #29. and his fans sound like a bunch of fat chicks hahaha. I'd throw my beer bottle at them. fucking pig bitches.

  • Json has said many times he was just a brawler with limited BJJ back then who went in way too wild...

  • best example of lay and pray lady's and gentlemen

  • chael is phenomenal. even when hes on bottom his wrestling gets him out of trouble. why stand with guys and take damage when u can take them down and poundthem out

  • @Shams2990 that would be great if he actually did the pounding. He makes gray maynard look exciting.

  • @d0zer24 his takedowns where more impressive in this fight, think he was still developing his game. he did plenty of pounding against marquardt and silva though

  • @GPRendell i know i mean i hate the guy and the only thing he's good at is his wrestling

  • He had some bacne already...well that proves that he 's been juicing for a long time!

  • @ronaldgoal dude..that shits been cleared up, he wasnt juicing. do your research.

  • Sounds like Oprah when they're announcing the fighters lol

  • I love how everyone is getting so crazy over a nine year old fight, Miller is a completely changed fighter now

  • Sonnen played his strengths well but this is fucking boring, ALL he did was throw Jason down and hold on to him, time after time. Give Jason anymore time and it's gonna be the same thing again and again and again. It was clearly a wrestling match not MMA.

  • how boring all chael did was knock him down on the ground

  • Mayhem is an amazing fighter, you can't take that away from him. He did the same thing with shields, worked off his back, had him caught but it was too late. I know Ifs and maybes don't matter, but if he had 10 more secs in a round he has wins over the arguably the best jiu jitsu guy in the world in shields, and arguably 1 of the best wrestlers sonnen. If he'd won those two fights he's maybe ranked with the top 10 middleweight in the world today.

  • sonnen is a pussy dat cant stand and bang

  • @You2beM4st3r if u want to watch standing and banging, mma is the wrong sport for you.... go watch some muy thai or boxing if you want big bangs

  • i wish jason would have just lifted his knee and knocked him out. every time they stood them up sonnen would just take him down again.

  • 2:31 its a DDT XD

  • Hmmm so Sonnen wasn't always a cocky asshole? Silva made sure of it that it got shut

  • wtf this is titos event?

  • hahah instant replay

    miller is such a loser

  • mayhem had a gogo at the last 3 seconds. lol fail

  • After reading the bickering about chael and anderson I have something to say. If something seems too good to be true it usually is. Chael was fantastic in that fight. A shit ton of steroids (his testosterone levels were 800% higher than the normal levels according to the test) and your opponent having a broken rib can make even an average fighter look great. Too bad he was roofed up and silva was injured, but he still couldn't beat silva.

  • Same old chael, double leg takedown and then he don't see nothin wrong with a little bump and grind. Still vunerable in a good jiu jitsu guys gaurd. He hasn't really evolved... Well... At all in the last 7 or 8 years. I mean, his striking has kind of improved, but not much.

  • Granted this fight is 8 years old but MAN it's obvious Sonnen roids when you look at his current musculature (and acne) compared to his older fights.

  • Chael chews steroids like thier Flintstones vitamins.

  • fael sonnen wins unanimous decision by way of man hug!

  • are they hugging?

  • @hamhawk10057 every sonnen fight he does this

  • what the fuck are they doing? just grappling each other and being there on the ground like homosexualls. i like mayhem but his fights are not so good
