Chael Sonnen Training with Matt Lindland and Japan's Yushin Okami

[armytaskforce11x]

chael could be the best MMA instructor on the planet fuck the haters.

[dante040]

I give cred to Okami, After he lost to Sonnen. he asked to train with Sonnen (something japanese , fighters are notoriously against doing, training with westerners) Sonnen thought he was kidding until he showed up to the gym.

[TreyMMA]

@dante040 Satoshi Ishii started training in the states....you know the smart asians will.

[ulostwhenusat]

UFC is pure entertainment. Chael does a great job with his profession. He says and does what he needs to do. Away from the spotlight he's a normal dude. He's a smart guy and knows how to ham it up on camera.

[TheSSJ07]

Mo Fuckin Ronnie Milsap and Roger Miller singing in the background.

[MrBlackrapist]

its good to be men!!!

[rhoads83j]

"If we walk in the back dressing room, and Anderson says 'Put on hip-hop.', and Chael says 'Put on country.', I guarantee it's gonna be a hoedown."

-Chael Sonnen

[dossantosftw]

Before i start getting shit on for posting this comment, id like to say that i love chael sonnen. hes a true fighter and by no means would i ever say hes a fraud. But have any of you guys seen a picture or video of him wrestling in college or competitively? no matter how hard i look i can never find any video/image of him wrestling. I find this very strange since hes a 2 time national champ in greco roman

[altenburg423]

Chael Sonnen is a name people will remember.

[Dalarna3]

I love the country in the background. Ho-down, indeed!

[AndyinMTL]

wrestling 101 baby!

[turkishjiujitsu]

Chael is looking very ripped.

[driv1937]

UNCLE CHAEL!

[chinkyboi93]

lol thats how lindland knocked himself out at 1:15

[DrThugnasty]

Some sexy takedowns...no homo?

[16msu]

cheal sonnen is the man

[shimanchunutakara]

okami is such a tool

[baasbovenbaass]

@subutai74

That says more about you then the music.

[l3054]

steven seagal is an attention whore and shouldnt even be in the suggestions

[solo642]

Ummm....where are all the trash talkers now?!....you guys were talking mad game before the fight.

Anderson Silva= GOAT

[atsven8]

Is that Greco Roman wrestling?

[jilmhebel]

Yushin please watch out for the Steven Seagal kick.

[bassivity]

Good stuff.

[lmt4life]

The last time i went to a tournament and Japanese wrestlers came to Oregon, We got dominated. They are really intent on learning american style wrestling too! A lot of their wrestling is freestyle. I love it. live on brother

[willskim4fd]

lmao at 2:18 

[mrostos]

Okami, please dont get knocked out in the first round!

[hijodemadre2]

surprise matt linland still remembers stuff after the many times he has been KO cold, like when robbi lawler KO him silly.

[WadeGHamilton]

say what you want about chael, his wrestling technique is so pure its the real deal hes got 2 national plaques on his wall and 6 silvers in div 1 college

[QofLife69]

if you didnt know shit about fighting, this would look totally gay. just saying.

[pimppotatoe]

man i wanna train with sonnen

[ericssson]

that's the best place for Yushin Okami to train he really had to get the fuck out of japan

[TheMightykaz]

Dam! Sonnen is a stout SOB

[officerredfield]

Okami picks up techniques so damn fast.

[legionpeep]

Dan hardy needs to start working with chael

[kizzyfur]

@legionpeep Every British fighter needs to start working with guys like this, There's only so long you can use the we don't have wrestling in England excuse, it's pitiful how slowly British fighters are developing, if they are at all.

[JTJV2]

White powa plus Asian powa= no can defend lol

[wondeboy12]

I am not knocking matt one little bit but he looks really small compared to these reasonble sized 185ers, anyone else think a cut to 170 might do him some good?

[baasbovenbaass]

Haha nice background music:P

Love it.

[PendergrassAcademy]

My favorite part of this video is the Ronnie Milsap playing in the background!

[andyyang3]

Okami's buff yo'. look at the definition behind the shirt.

[calexrose]

okami wins cause he knows how win in american style mma with lot wrestling

[RockDrumWorld]

chael sonnen rocks !!!!

[Maddux99]

Listen to the hick music, lol

[leoosiku]

@Maddux99 r u a musical prodigy? lol.

[xolloy01]

great squad of MWs right there.

[annuocao666]

wat is the second move called?

[Lrdvltr]

Sonnen and Okami are my two favorite middleweights. Cool guys. I hope one of them takes the title soon.

[IRunEscapers]

sonnen looks like a chill guy when he isn't flaming silva :)

[baphomet58]

Sonnen is a fucking God

[hakkujin]

Japanese guys must love country music.

[x5NYx]

Daym Chael looks jacked!... what's his natural walk around weight anyone know? He's huge here!

[f9hunter]

@x5NYx heard his normally like 215ish

[mma4ever100]

japanies dudes are fun

look at okami he looks really really a nice guy

[yellowsneakers234]

Okami is a beast. He'll bring a UFC belt back to Japan for sure.

[davistran510]

training with country music on. Go Sonnen

[brianpwnsjustin]

Despite all of sonnen's problems, i gotta give him props for willing to help his opponent.

[tropics1020]

cool

[Sackhy]

The music is awesome, lol.

[foo3rdstrike]

Okami is underated.

[hytseraph]

If Belfort doesn't wreck Silva, Okami will be the man to do it.

[hitvish]

@hytseraph or GSP

[Sonnenfan12]

chael is fucking sexy 

[iwanttofight69]

lol country music

[ticosexy22]

They should use knee pads

[trickyrickysticky]

I think Yushin could be the man to beat Silva. He's training with Chael Sonnen who pound Silva for five rounds and I'm sure Yushin watched that fight and saw where Chael made his mistake and I'm sure if Yushin takes Silva down he will control Silva like Sonnen did but he won't get submitted.

[GivenTheOkieDoke]

@trickyrickysticky He has beaten Silva once. Although it was because DQ, but regardless a win is a win. I think if Belfort is on his game he will top Silva, so we could be seeing an Okami Vs Belfort match.

[trickyrickysticky]

@GivenTheOkieDoke I think Belfort could beat Silva too just because he's never lost a pure stand up fight. Belfort's hands are much better than Silva's.

[fustertek]

sexy chael

[lucaferr]

*Men* that beat him. Okami lost to Lindland in ADCC.

[mikestylz96]

okamis wrestling is going to improve so much rolling with these guys.

[midnightmorning]

yeah but hawaii and brazil is where they fight from and grew up

[midnightmorning]

i hope okami can take the title one day and signal the return of asian fighters to the cream of the crop

[2431346]

@midnightmorning

bj penn and lyoto machida are both... "asian"

[midnightmorning]

@2431346 yeah, but they dont fight out there, they're first language is also different, not really what i was meaning, i'm sure you knew that

[mmalover1991]

@2431346 well not really bj penn is only 1/3 korean,1/3english,1/3 hawaiian so technically he is a eurasian kinda and yeah machida is more or less eurasian. I got two great fellow oriental fighters to look up to though being a eurasian

[Sexius]

@midnightmorning hope??? Ofc he He already beat A.Silva once he can do it again if A.Silva won't run away as always

[bjapan96]

@midnightmorning when the fuck were asain fighters ever on top?

its always been brazilians

[Malk64]

@bjapan96 Sakuraba, Gomi, KID, Aoki.

[briky7126]

@bjapan96 now now language please

[briky7126]

@bjapan96 may not be on top but we'll fuck u guys up in war anyday

[bjapan96]

@briky7126 haha keep dreaming kid

[DSAoftheSS]

@midnightmorning

... Return?

[MarlonZ23]

@midnightmorning

I wouldn't bet money on that.

[ClarkRandomness]

@midnightmorning um being asian has nothing to do with how well you fight

[TheLostDragon23]

@CNoble87 u got somethin against asians cocksucker?

[TheLostDragon23]

@CNoble87 Actually I'm white and asian so i can be equally racist against both sides, now suck my fat 9 inch cock bitch.

[VerSaaGo]

@midnightmorning hes not gonna take Anderson.

[dotaboy888]

@midnightmorning YEAAH ASIAN FTW

[purefigha101]

@midnightmorning fuck that.

[pearlvana05]

haha Okami is like "What the hell kind of training music is this?"

[varsitywrestler2012]

sweet pump up music in the background 

[greatdanebarca]

chael is sick. simplicity is the key to perfection.

[2431346]

@greatdanebarca

so are PED's.

[greatdanebarca]

@2431346 i know. this dude flopped big time

[2431346]

@greatdanebarca

and he got bitched at by wandy in a car ride about insulting the nogueira brothers.

[greatdanebarca]

@2431346 i liked chaels trash talk but that was priceless. show respect or loose ur teeth. chael seemed like he was close to loosing it but wanderlei dropped it like a true gangster. cold as ice. paralysed him verbally. sonnens going through a hard time though

[2431346]

@greatdanebarca

he's a politician, he will get through it. 

[fredyzpt]

@greatdanebarca i really think he could beat the shit outta that big mouthed brazilian fuck

[optimoe54]

@2431346 what was he suppose to do ? fight him in the car? these are are grown men, you can get arrested for that shit

[greatdanebarca]

that is some serious hillbilly music in the background. lol

[StrattenKlein]

bjj is good trust me

[tha1ne]

okami looks really excited to be training with chael and matt.

[piratebri]

Good to see a Japanese MMA fighter recognizing wrestling's great potential in the future of the sport, and learning from 2 of the best

[ACE7Drew]

Shows that beyond all the shit talk, Chael is a great guy. He beat Okami, and then invited him to train with him, put him up in his house, even cooked for him.

[oWESC]

god damn i wana learn BJJ so bad, and wrestling

[piratebri]

@oWESC wrestling is > BJJ bro, so I would say go for that first. Wrestling is BJJ's kryptonite :)

[2431346]

@piratebri

wrestling is made to take the person down and control them. How can you control someone when you are on the ground and they know bjj? They will just submit you.

[RiMaJJ]

@2431346 a good example of bjj vs wrestling is in silva vs sonnen fight. lol

[2431346]

@RiMaJJ

and bjj prevailed.

[iloveasiangirls]

@RiMaJJ i would say it was a better example of sonnens poor submission defense. there were bjj attempts before the triangle choke, and anderson silva was getting beat badly before he slipped it on. it wasnt the style that prevailed. it was silva. if he knocked chael out, people would be saying it was muay thai vs wrestling. but you do make a good point.

[iloveasiangirls]

@2431346 well it works both ways. a good wrestler (at least one who has trained intelligently for mma) will know how to stifle brazilian jiu jitsu attacks and a good bjj practicioner will know how to capitalize on the mistakes a wrestler might make. it all just comes down to the individual fighter. no style is superior to another.

[srcetme]

poor anderson, he's going to get beat down.

[pakishock91]

greco roman wrestling is a real mans sport

[morgall]

@pakishock91

what about freestyle wrestling?

[pakishock91]

@morgall

idk, my opinion about greco roman wrestling was just my opinion. I think its more exciting cuz of the throws and its a test of your upperbody strength.

[zzTaPOuTzz]

Chael is such a amazing wrestler and i hope he beats down silva

[V3n0killa]

@zzTaPOuTzz your a joke for believing that

[cfink1994]

@V3n0killa i think sonnen can beat him

[V3n0killa]

@cfink1994 sonnen chance of win 40% chance while anderson chance is 60%

[lanegjones]

@V3n0killa no its 50/50,it only take 1 punch to end a fight

[V3n0killa]

@lanegjones that's true but it will be vary hard for chael to pull that off ask Forrest Griffin

[lanegjones]

@V3n0killa Forrest is know for his weak chin,Chael has shown a weak chin.Chael is known for being submitted.thats Andersons ticket maybe!

[V3n0killa]

@lanegjones maybe lets see the only reason i want anderson to win so he can lose to Vitor Belfort i have nothing against Chael i think he is a good fighter

[doooobies332]

@lanegjones Sonnen doesn't have a weak chin you tard. He has never been Ko'ed or even tko'ed other then a pussy as cut once.

Your a moron and you don't know shit about mma, stop posting dumb shit. Got it idiot?

[V3n0killa]

@doooobies332 and if you think Chael is going to take Anderson down and ground and pound into defeat think again ask Travis Lutter who had a full mount and Dan Henderson who took Anderson down and ended up getting choked man you need to know your facts before you say something like Sonnen has 90% and Anderson has 10%

[doooobies332]

@V3n0killa I would say Sonnen has a 90% chance of winning and anderson has a 10% punchers chance of winning.

[V3n0killa]

@doooobies332 your pretty cocky about Anderson having 10% just saying Chael talk's alot of shit for a dude that has no Submission Def if you disagree watch his a fight against Maia and Chael has shown sign's of a weak chin against Renato Sobral when he got rocked so i think you should take back calling lanegjones a idiot

[doooobies332]

@V3n0killa Uhh he didn't get rocked at all by sobral. Not to mention Silva doesn't have good subs they are always from strikes, but considering Sonnen doesn't take damage from strikes its a mute issue. I know you double checked Sonnen's wiki page before you bet your 50 dollar pay check from mcdonalds on silva but Sonnen still has the better chances of winning this fight.

[V3n0killa]

@doooobies332 my 50 dollar check form mcdonalds first of all i dont work at Mcdonalds 2ec i say forget wiki and look at his fight's and watch for yourself and for your source is wiki i feel bad for you Wiki is Bull shit i could create an account and create a page for GSP and say he slept with a guy and because Wiki said it its true also you should watch Chael Sonnen low light look it up after this video but i am not basing my knowledge off that video

[doooobies332]

@V3n0killa First of all use a fucking spell check moron I can't read anything your saying. You haven't watched any of sonnen's fights and you don't know anything about him. I have watched all of both sonnen and silva's fights and I can say for sure that Sonnen is going to smash silva.

[V3n0killa]

@doooobies332 shut the fuck up you dip shit you have no knowledge I'm done talking to you pile of shit you and your family should die you when Sonnen loses bitch I'm going to stomp your grandmother out you fuck face

[doooobies332]

@V3n0killa someone is having themselves a temper tantrum I see. Go take a time out idiot.

[V3n0killa]

@doooobies332 I FUCKING TOLD YOU YOU BITCH FUCKING FAG SONNEN LOST FAG NOW ANDERSON CAN LOSE 2 THE REAL #1 CONTENDER FOR THE MIDDLE WEIGHT TITLE VITOR BELFORT

[bodrie4]

@V3n0killa who was winning before the submission.

[V3n0killa]

@bodrie4 close but no cigar bitch you not taking shit now huh shut the fuck up

[bodrie4]

@V3n0killa ha tough man huh? I think its funny how people get tough over the internet. Look. he lost but thats not the point. he got controlled the whole fight. Thats all you silva fans got is to say he won. end of story....dude silva got dominated. couldnt even knock him out where the fuck is silvas skills now huh? you know how many times he had to try and get a submission until he finally got it?? silvas not a god so stop sucking on his dick.

[V3n0killa]

@bodrie4 first i wanted Silva to Win So he can lose to Vitor so you should stop sucking dick and 2nd i was shit talking to doooobies332 and you got involved idk how at the end Anderson won and he will face Vitor and that's it you can not do shit about it

[bodrie4]

@V3n0killa Well I wouldnt have got all up in your biz if you wouldnt have tried to act all tough big man dick sucker over youtube. And I dont like Silva period so I want him to lose to everyone.

[V3n0killa]

@bodrie4 i not a big fan of Silva neither but in this case i wanted him to win so he can fight against Vitor

[V3n0killa]

@bodrie4 listen i am not a silva fan i wanted him to win so he can fight Vitor i am a Vitor fan i want silva to lose against Vitor thats why i did not want chael to win i like chael he is a good fighter but he always get caught in submission's so i saw it coming

[bodrie4]

@V3n0killa Yea his kryptonite is sumbmisions. Vitor can pull it off but idk. If he stands with silva he can knock him but silvas style if wierd as shit.

[morgall]

@V3n0killa

dude watch your language.=p

[V3n0killa]

@morgall ha ha 

[onebadmoto]

@V3n0killa he won't lose to vitor.

[V3n0killa]

@onebadmoto i think he will

[onebadmoto]

@doooobies332 sonnen said ouch it hurts please stop like he has many times before.

[DXpac20]

I don't know how they train to Country music.

[1p0]

@DXpac20 they are The Purist of The Pure Americans

[burningknuckle26]

America = Best place to train.

[2submit]

@burningknuckle26 BRAZIL i think if wrestling and boxing yes america but all around mma brazil ... muaythai well thailand

[doooobies332]

Sonnen is going to grapple fuck silva for 5 rounds.

[bjapan96]

@doooobies332 and then get tapped out at the end :D hahaha

[Arcturistheballer]

@doooobies332 4 and a half *

[shaun0069]

whats the song playing in the background?

[albybabeee]

check out that music.. gangsters from Oregon lol

[kkk666ize]

Hope chael becomes the champ

[mmaboxingfan2]

theres going to be a hoedown!

[TopazSkillMauler]

How dose okami communicate with these guys he has bad english

[hempster92]

Yushin knew he's gotta train with the best to hang with the best!

you better believe he's learning very quickly.

[qauthux]

@hempster92

He has a better record than either of them. Almost identical to Anderson Silva's.

[monoforraptunes]

i wish i was as strong as okami :(,such a huge advantage for MMA to be that functionally strong.

[stu03ufc]

nothing but respect for Okami learning off the man that beat him.

[iDMS2009]

@stu03ufc Yeah and props to Chael Sonnen for agreeing to let him train with them after he fought him, a lot of fighter wouldn't have done the same. Says a lot about them both really.

[glitch2424]

@stu03ufc

I agree that is pretty cool didnt know he versed him!

[cbproducktions]

@stu03ufc

Great respect from all of them, a great thing

[nfl20]

thats funny then chael ended up fighting okami and putting on a wrestling clinic.
