You're Welcome! With Chael Sonnen

Chael breaks down why the lightweight division has suddenly gone quiet, what Arman Tsarukyan and Charles Oliveira may already know, why the BMF Championship still matters, and what it all means for Justin Gaethje, Ilia Topuria, and the next UFC title fight.

Then, Chael reacts to Islam Makhachev's assessment of Ian Machado Garry, explains why Garry's movement could create unexpected problems, and whether Islam's game plan tells us more about the champion than the challenger.

Plus, how will Conor McGregor be remembered? Chael looks beyond recent headlines to examine the legacy of one of MMA's biggest stars and why history often tells a different story than the moment.

Also, Merab Dvalishvili and Henry Cejudo meet again on the wrestling mat, and Chael explains why their rivalry continues to challenge everything he thought he knew about elite wrestling. Finally, Chael maps out the light heavyweight division as Carlos Ulberg recovers and contenders position themselves for the next title opportunity.

Should Alex Pereira already be ranked at heavyweight?

Chael explains why Ciryl Gane, Alexander Volkov, Sergei Pavlovich, and Josh Hokit all belong in the conversation, where Pereira fits into the rankings, and why moving a former champion into a new division isn't as simple as it sounds.

Then, Chael makes the case for Arman Tsarukyan vs. Charles Oliveira II with the BMF Championship on the line, breaks down what it means for Justin Gaethje, and asks whether Gaethje is preparing for the final fight of his career.

Plus, Dana White says there will never be another Conor McGregor. Chael explains why he agrees, why timing mattered just as much as talent, what made Ronda Rousey and Kimbo Slice cultural phenomena, and what the UFC's next superstar will actually look like.

And another edition of Ask Uncle Chael, featuring questions on Colby Covington, Ben Askren, Paddy Pimblett, youth wrestling, and more.

Should Kamaru Usman retire? or has he finally found the right division?

Chael explains why Kamaru Usman's performance against Dricus du Plessis may have changed the conversation, why a permanent move to middleweight could extend his career, and whether another title run is still within reach.

Then, Chael breaks down the middleweight title picture. Does Dricus du Plessis deserve another championship opportunity? Where does Nassourdine Imavov fit? And has the UFC already decided who's next?

Plus, Arman Tsarukyan makes a statement in freestyle wrestling. Chael explains why the performance, and more importantly, Arman's mindset after defeat, left him more convinced than ever that Tsarukyan will become a UFC champion.

Finally, Chael reacts to Conor McGregor's recovery, why he believes Conor's mindset has changed, and what a rematch with Max Holloway could look like.

Kamaru Usman vs. Dricus Du Plessis feels bigger than just another fight. Chael explains why he believes there's far more at stake than fans realize, what the matchup could mean for the middleweight title picture, and why the winner may be one step away from championship gold.

Then, Chael reacts to the fallout from Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway. Is Conor really done, or is everyone rushing to the wrong conclusion? Chael breaks down the biggest misconceptions from the fight, why a return to lightweight matters, and whether a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather still makes sense.

Plus, Chael makes the case for Robert Whittaker at light heavyweight, explains why former champions deserve more respect when moving up in weight, and shares what impressed him most about Gable Steveson's UFC debut and why the heavyweight division should already be paying attention.

Is Conor McGregor done? Chael explains why this conversation is different after seeing Conor's return firsthand, what really happened inside the cage, and whether another comeback is realistic.

Then, Chael breaks down Paddy Pimblett's biggest night yet. From one of the loudest walkouts in UFC history to the lightweight title picture, has Paddy become the UFC's next breakout superstar?

Plus, Gable Steveson impresses in his UFC debut. Chael explains why his striking surprised him, why ranked heavyweights should be calling him out, and why the stoppage in Bobby Green vs. Terrance McKinney was the right call.
