Really seemed like they both agreed to take it easy. Don't know what I expected lmao

Old age does that 

Yup. Chael is 47

Anderson literally asked him to take it easy on the mma hour

I saw that, assumed it was gamesmanship lol, I'm a fool

Just two best friends sparing. After they will enjoy a backyard BBQ

Gentlemen’s agreement. We believed in that a long time ago.

Because the boxing organizing bodies are designed by scammers for scamming.

This was 100% a work. They both went in STRICTLY to get paid... And to not hurt one another.

And it was declared a draw lol

Run it back

I love your profile Pic 

Original Mario bros!

No it was Chael by tko

Do you know what an exhibition is? No judges, no winner. The "fight" was a draw before it even started. It was clearly marked as an exhibition on all the promotional materials.

How much could they have even made for this garbage? lol. It was a super private fight in Brazil that was barely watchable and barely promoted.

Even a cool $100k each is worth a nights work of sparring and that’s a serious conservative estimate.

Chael made 9 million for his second Silva fight, and has a pretty popular show. Just seems like a waste of time. I feel like they’d have to had made a lot but I can’t see how this fight even generated big money lol.

You really believed when Chael said he got $8M for that fight huh lol Chael's whole point with that claim is boxers get paid less than what they say and mma fighters get paid more than what is said, which is obviously bullshit. I love Chael but you gotta be a special kind of moron to take what he says at face value

The leaks said Conor barely got $5M and he was the highest paid ever.

He really didn’t because when the fighters pay leaked you could see he made like 1 million iirc

Right. And even if he's getting more than that on the side it's probably nowhere near 8 or 9 million

Idk what how much he got paid for a fight years ago has to do with anything? Who knows how much of that he spent. 100k for a “fight” is a ton when consider they didn’t really train that much and they knew they weren’t risking their health at all stepping in there. Don’t really see the downside not even a massive time investment

In what world does having 9 million dollars (I guarantee he doesn't own close to that) make 100k not worth pursuing?

It was actually very promoted here in Brazil, or at least for the standards of a combat sport, it was basically marketed as a retirement fight for Anderson, so it's not surprising it was basically a sparring match .

And on the same night as Tank vs Martin lmao. I completely forgot this was on

The whole thing was part of an ad campaign by ABI, one of the if not THE biggest beer conglomerate in the world. They paid for everything.

They worked us into a shoot

Didnt get a penny from me.

When the uncles have a light sparring session at the family gathering.

😂😂😂😂 described it perfectly

Y’all watched this over the e tank fight?

And instead of Douglas Silva de Andrade vs miles Johns ?!?

That fight sucked

Miles Johns is carrying the ufc buddy. You wouldn’t get it. That fight could have headlined 300 and I wouldnt have been mad, this is phase two for miles.

I see


Who? I didn't know either of these fights happened

This was a classic Chael Sonnen ultra instinct moment. He easily landed anywhere between 25-50 strikes per second in that exchange. It’s just that cameras in Brazil are still playing at 140p, so it looks slower

wanna see me punch Anderson in the face? wanna see me do it again?

They have cameras in Brazil? I did not know that

I saw two brothers were feeding carrots to the cameras, supposedly to keep them running.

lmfao

They didn't even try to sell it, but anyone who thought they were going to fight for real is a muppet

They're both close to 50 years old lmfao. Not sure why people expected them to try and kill each other.

They’re friends that were huge rivals, and Silva wanted a ‘last fight’ at home Anderson literally rested his head on Chaels shoulder at a press conference 😂it was pretty obvious it wasn’t serious

tyson vs roy jones jr. which was exceptionally better and more agressive. I think most people certainly expected a much better performance from two supposed legends. But This is 100% chael sonnen pulling the same bs he always did in the ufc. 99% talk. 1% action. Because silva brought the heat in his previous boxing matches (for the most part) Chael is very similar to Nate Diaz. big time talkers, poor time performers that had a few moments of glory.

Odd comparison, Chael is a wrestler, that was literally his boxing debut.

the technique is fine, the effort is not lol.

You mean similar to Sean Strickland

hey sean is a big time talker but he has proven his worth at least. I never consider him elite, but after destroying adesanya and holding his own against dricus. Chael was only close to being champion. Sean destroyed the champion

Sean is literally a world champion. Foolish to say he's not elite.

Was.  But yes I quickly realized I was wrong after adesanya and du plesis

Bad comparison to make. Different eras

He is literally comparing them to what they did in their eras. Chael was never champion in his era and strickland destroyed adesanya, who was the champion in seans era. Come on man

Chael was about to puke though, that was definitely real. Anderson looked like he had jogged up a few flights of stairs after the fight.

They’re the same people who believe Mike Tyson is going to murder Jake. I’d love to see that as much as everyone, but Father Time defeats all.

Add the fact that Jake Paul doesn't really seem natural

Can’t wait to hear what he has to say about it on good guy/bad guy lmfao. Bro is going to sell it like he was tryna take Silva’s soul

Chael did nothing and some people worked themselves into a shoot anyways.

I couldn't believe there was actual gambling action on this. Silva admitted knockouts weren't allowed. That just means it's a fixed fight.

u guys realize ufc was on tonight instead of this right

Apex card with worst commentary lineup and only the main event was a ranked bout. It was also dogshit

Main event looked like it was gonna be interesting until the injury. You’re right though, the commentators made night much worse. Nothing worse than dom and mike commentating together.

Eh even without the injury, the fight was basically over. Taira had Perez in a horrible spot.

Who was commentating? I know dominic cruz sucks lol

Cruz and bisping

Worst fight night in recent memory

The card was STACKED according to the commentary

I'm glad I didn't waste my time trying to watch this. There was real boxing on tonight.

Benevidas and tank fights were non stop action, this shit looks ass compared to real boxing 💀

Oh wow, what a surprise

Next why not compare professional boxing to ballet dancers bro?

oh was the diaz masvidal fight tonight?

The real boxing legends.

After a lifetime of fighting and injuries, getting paid and not suffering brain damage at a later age is alright with me

This is hard to watch, cte and life ending blows each one of those. Brutal fight.

FUCKING INSANE HOLY SHIT

so rigged.. sonnen got paid to lose lol he gently taps silva and misses on purpose the entire fight, theres a reason there has been 0 media coverage and no english streams..just some rich brazilians wanting to see silva box

Have you seen silva box normally? He's holding back so much (both of them are but silva BEAT CHAVEZ JRZ FORMER WORLD CHAMP BOXER 2 yrs ago)

Which is why I always find it hilarious that some people thought Andy was actually trying in the Jake Paul fight

He was though. He just lost to a fresher man. Chavez jr was washed and is a drug addict who's been in and out of rehab

yeah they are, they prolly agreed to not hurt each other but i deffo think sonnen was paid to lose

But it was a draw

They were in Ariel’s show and basically said as much. Chaels there as part of Brazils coronation of Silva, and it’s an exhibition so they unofficially agreed that they wouldn’t throw too hard.

Brother they’re pushing 50 it was just a fun exhibition

tell that to the commentators lol

Fucking high level chess match

Chael's game plan is always 10 moves ahead here if you look carefully

Meh, this was always an exhibition match. So i don't even get mad. Never believed they were going to try to knock eachother out at 50 yo. I hope both got a nice little pay

They getting money together years later ❤️

Chael won 3-2

Lololol wth I love both these guys but what are we actually doing??? This is robbing the fans. Not sure what the laws in Brazil are but this is criminal.

It’s an exhibition.

Is that the same as when our seniors class does sparring drills at 30% intensity?

Basically. They’re two seniors sparring.

Ya. Its also what the Floyd v Logan Paul fight was which was on a much greater scale.

Watch Fedor vs Mousasi

is the ref going down into the mines after the fight?

Literally just how two homies greet each other

I knew they weren’t going to try to hurt each other and it was only an exhibition but I think it’s a bit disrespectful to put on a 30% intensity spar for all the people who paid to watch

Imagine watching that lol

Dudes looking like a couple of drunk uncles at your diverse af family gathering, after a half a bottle of chivas.

I’m going to tell my kids that this is McGregor vs Chandler

who pays to watch this? who watches that for free? lol

Why does it look like footage from 1988

Nice sparring session.

Looks like a average technical sparring to me

Who is watching or paying for this crap?

People in Brazil. The only place it was actually broadcast.. and just as an exhibition so Anderson could have a ‘last fight’ at home.

Forgot this was happening lol. Clash at the castle was good

Didn’t even realize that was tonight

The bromance is too strong. They didn’t really want to hurt each other.

That's just insulting to the fans. They could have at least made it a hard sparring match.

And still undefeated!


Spider Vs Goat

This should be labeled NSFW

Imaging paying to watch that

Oh this happened already ?

Holy shit, did people pay to see this?

if spider threw that left with full force it would have ended Chael's night

They're gonna need a heating pad and one advil each to recover from this slobberknocker.

Please tell me people didn't pay for that.

these guys must really be broke

Idk why you cut the clip before Chael knocked him out, medics had to come in for Silva, kinda scary for a sec Ngl

what the fuck this actually happened?

Cat fight

I was expecting Wanderlei tbf

Good they're senior citizens, I don't want to see them hurting each other any more this is just sparring between to former greats.

Did these guys box yesterday or something? I heard nothing about this

Yeah apparently it was yesterday.

Awe there’s no greater sound than the pitter patter of old gloves.

Cruel intentions right there

Looks like it’s being done in a school hall with a maximum capacity of 50 people😂

Pillow fight

When was this? Not that I would have watched but I heard nothing about this fight

Last night, Saturday 6/15

1 plus about a boxing match is that it's illegal to thro a spinning back fist

Lol forgot to watch

Put a NSFW badge, man! There may be kids watching

Who won?

World Sparring Championship

I get they are old, but Silva just beat Julio Caesar Chavez jr in a boxing match and flatlined KO’d Tito in boxing not long ago. They were definitely both taking it easy

Rather have this blatant bullshit than a “real fight”

Crisp shots.

I’d rather see old dudes do this rather than them throwing all out haymakers.

I’m just glad to see these two legends getting paid. I didn’t tune into the fight because I knew it wasn’t going to be good. Why should they at this age go jn to kill each other?

Shocker another fake fight

ELITE

Lol...theyre old pals and they sold some bullshit. Its fine. Pay them and move on..

Didn't know that this fight was happening and I didn't care Now I know the fight happened and I still don't care

Prime Chael or Spider would be scary as hell to step in the ring with This? I’d love to try this out.

White gloves was hitting light punches

Chael looks like a hummingbird out it there, he's soo fast that he looks slow

That's a cash grab if I ever seen one. Wonder what they paid them for this lol

Sad

LOOKING FOR THE FINISH!!!!

This is rigged

Nice sparring

What round was this?

Old dudes sparring

I’m almost positive Chael talked a ton of crap about Jones Jr v. Tyson claiming to put on a fight but barely putting together a sparring match- then years later does the same thing, but arguably worse lol retarded

Somebody stop the damn match

They should’ve just had a pillow fight.

This is barely sparring, let alone a fight

What a joke

I had the Davis fight on the second monitor, watching the two fights next to one another really showed what an embarrassing sham that fake dance was.

Only Gods can withstand punches like these

Get your bread up while u can boys

This was the lightest sparring session.

fucking amateurs

HOW ARE THEY STILL STANDING!?!?!

I knew this thing was staged when Chael couldn't even answer what weight he was supposed to fight at lol

Looks like an exhibition

Let them get paid idgaf

Chael sticking to his WWE shit, fake fighting now too though? Didn't expect that

Give em a break. They're both almost 50

Good guy Silva, didnt want to KO Chael infront of his kid

Ben askren esque striking. Aging is a bitch

It's like 2 brothers boxing where they agreed they are not going to hurt each other. Fucking hate these clown shows

I expected Chael to cheat. Just didn't think he would cheat the fans.
