4/21/202628 min
Chael Sonnen breaks down the chaos from Real American Freestyle and asks the big question: did Arman Tsarukyan intentionally throw Urijah Faber off the stage, or was it just momentum gone wrong? He shares what Tsarukyan told him directly, why the situation isn’t as simple as it looks.
Chael also reacts to Joe Rogan being proven right about Carlos Ulberg’s injury and what it means for the division moving forward, including whether an interim title even makes sense. Plus, Chael dives into rumors of Conor McGregor’s return, why a fight with Max Holloway may not “make sense,” and what the UFC is actually looking for.
And Khamzat Chimaev enters Real American Freestyle, ready to take on anyone.

[upbeat music] What's happening, guys? Happy Tuesday, and thank you for joining another special episode of You're Welcome. Well, I just got back from Real American Freestyle, and I have a question for you. Did Armand Suurukian mean to throw Uriah Faber off the stage? Look, I get that he did it. I'm asking intent-wise. Did he try to push him off the stage, or was he pushing him, and he just happened to go off the stage? We got a lot to get to today, guys, but I think we should start right here. [upbeat music] Did Armand Suurukian mean to throw Uriah Faber off the stage? Well, I asked him that. I asked him that exact thing. Was this an accident? Is that possible? It looked as though Armand pushed Uriah off the stage. Armand was in control of Uriah, right? In terms of he, he, he had control of his body. He had one leg in the air. So now the attachment of Suurukian to Uriah is caused by Suurukian, who has caused that attachment and, by the way, has two feet on the ground while Uriah now has one foot on the ground. I think I've established that Suurukian's in charge.
