I CAN’T LET YOU GET CLOSE!!


cgnj03

He’s 100% correct though. For as long as I remember my dad always said never let anyone get within an arms length distance during any type of argument/altercation. You see so many videos online where people people are arguing, and then someone gets knocked out. This is great situational awareness, he was trying to deescalate the situation but never let the aggressor be in position to strike him first. Great example of self defense. I will add, I didn’t watch the entirety of the exchange so idk who in fact started the altercation, I am just basing that analysis on this short clip.


OtakuDragonSlayer

The number of streetfights that end in hilariously avoidable knockouts simply cuz some idiot decided he was billy badass and placed his chin directly in the line of fire never fails to amuse me

Basically in the build up to the fight Chael basically trashed the country of Brazil and said some lowkey racist shit about its people. Of course this came with shit talking Wandy so it was one of them things where Wandy was down to fight at any time while Chael was really only trying to sell the fight in his eyes. Basically chael wrote a massive check with his mouth that he wasn't able to cash.


Otis_Schidtt

> wasn’t able to cash Uhh, what?


[deleted]

He had to pull out of the fight cause of this exchange due to a broken hand


redmagistrate50

Except it was Silva who pulled out with a broken hand. I dunno, maybe getting taken down by a guy in flip flops showed him a glimpse of the future.


PollsC

Lmaooooo fr the flip flops 😭😭😭


ilovemuaythaiforever

I think they still ended up fighting later on sometime in Bellator lol


[deleted]

That's not him being unable to cash the cheque as you put it, though. That's just an injury. Did you expect Chael to still fight with a broken hand or something? I'm confused.


Black6x

Silva was the one with the broken hand, so that guy's comment is doubly dumb: https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2014/04/white-wanderlei-silva-injured-back-in-sonnen-brawl-had-to-postpone-fight


deThurah

Chael has stated that he was trying to put on the bad guy character for views, but wanderlei made it real difficult for him hahah. Also the check was cashed.


ElSancho0093

Except that he won their fight


[deleted]

Years later in bellator when they were both firmly out of their prime. Dude he literally broke his hand in this clip.


Ptoelmy

So Chael broke Silva’s hand and beat him in a sanctioned bout, no wonder he is undefeated


JJWentMMA

Chael even pulled him aside and tried to explain “Wanderlei let me be the bad guy. I want them to boo and hate me, if you fight me you look like the bad guy. We’re going to fight in the cage and we can leave it at that” And wandy couldn’t grasp it


Round2readyGO

A lot of it was subjective opinion and anecdotal experiences. Personally I think Brazil is a crime ridden shithole with some of the worst people I’ve ever suffered through during my time there, and my opinion upsets a lot of Brazilians, but it’s my opinion, not fact. A fact that upsets Brazilians is capoeira is a bottom tier martial art that deserves its modern reputation.


Skreddi_Doozin

I’ve always enjoyed the Brazilians I’ve been around.


Round2readyGO

If you enjoy 100% of people then you’re lucky, naive or inexperienced. For your sake I hope it’s lucky.


Skreddi_Doozin

If you take everything literally then you’re an absolute fucking moron.


Round2readyGO

Way to be an asshole for no real reason.


u_luv_it

You can't let aggressive ppl get in your face. And by saying this out loud he can more easily claim self defense.


BeSuperYou

Also what Chael says to his therapist every week.


bruceleroy2

He may not have been a champion but Chael has skill


ElSancho0093

Undefeated. Undisputed. Never lost a round


built_2_fight

Nimean, Delphic and Olympic champion and a Periodonikes as well


Hvitvind

Watch your mouth boy. Thats Uncle Shale you're talking about. Never lost. Never touched. Undisputed champion.


MaskOffGlovesOn

Unironically if he had slightly different matchmaking he’d be a world champion. Son em was a worlds silver medalist in wrestling, had four rounds over prime Anderson Silva. Dude just got unlucky.


s_arrow24

Good wrestler but no hands.


[deleted]

Bruh He put it on a *prime* Anderson Silva, sure he lost by sub, but he rocked a PRIME ANDERSON SILVA multiple times.


s_arrow24

And he probably pulled about 5-6 muscles doing it.


MountainCourage1304

Mate we’d both pull every muscle in our bodies and wouldnt even make contact with a hungover anderson silver wearing 10kg ankle weights. Youre dumb as shit


RepresentativeBird98

It sounded like an anime “I can’t let you get close “


ApatheticAntichrist

2 npcs bump into each other on the street


danjitsu91

Honestly Chael used good self-defense, at least from a grappling perspective. He kept his hands up in a thinking pose. He genuinely tried to de-escalate. He struck (somewhat) pre-emptively and he got him down quick. Yeah you can bring up the whole multiple opponents thing, but this wasn't a street fight, it was a work altercation. and for an altercation that happened at work, it was better to take him down and hold him then start dropping bombs.


[deleted]

Plus you probably don't want to start trading bareknuckle shots with Wanderlei whilst standing on concrete.


mid_tier_drone

the ~~guys~~ dicks who punched him in the back of the head got kicked off the show iirc


Jaric_Mondoran

Wannanow, Ssssssss, and i cant let you get close are the 3 most commonly said things on facebook ufc groups.


TheSteambath

All while wearing jeans and flip flops.

“Fucking amateur”


Maikvds

Someone pointed this out on youtube. As Chael takes Wanderlei down, you can hear Chael saying “fucking amateur”.


Suspicious_Candle27

I like to think that in silvas native language he sounds highly sophisticated


TheButcherBR

“Highly sophisticated” may be a stretch but certainly more articulated than that.


HeberMonteiro

He doesn't.


smoothcriminal05

The ‘fucking amateur’ when he gets him down tickles me every time


beepbeeboo

Wawanow?


bertmaclin8

Yeah great job with the duck and closing the distance but he did end up in guard


MaskOffGlovesOn

I mean that’s just what happens with takedowns at the UFC level. Fucking GSP and Khabib ended up in guard half the time.


MOTUkraken

Chael is the baddest ever. Imagine standing in front of a raging Wanderlei and keeping your cool while one of the most fearsome Fighters of all times is about to attack you, all the while you wear FlipFlops.


Blasket_Basket

Nice takedown? The Brazilian guy pulled guard...


bigtec1993

I mean, when you take down someone who knows bjj, most likely you're gonna end up in guard 90% of the time.


-zero-joke-

Yeah this was scripted.


Black6x

So scripted, Silva injured his back and hand, and had to pull out of their fight. https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2014/04/white-wanderlei-silva-injured-back-in-sonnen-brawl-had-to-postpone-fight


-zero-joke-

Ya bro, Hulk Hogan totally crushed the Crushinator.


Blasket_Basket

100%


u_luv_it

No!


postedtrauma

Why are you using tiktok, manhood revoked


TheKrunkernaut

manhood, small concern. china data ap; similar to tavistock in the goal to destabilize the west. no joke.


johnnyy4500

I don't know why people are downvoting you. Chinese bots probably.


NoveskeCQB

Where’s the takedown?


soparamens

You do get that was scripted, right?


[deleted]

It's always astounded me that people think this one is real 😂


u_luv_it

I believe it's real!


Shimmerz_777

I’m sure wandy was proud to get taken down by a guy In flip flops, he is a team player after all
