hahaha Chael has a great poker face. This is actually a pretty good move by him.
On the MMA Hour just earlier today he said the GOAT HW in his mind are Fedor and Josh Barnett. He said if Cain Velasquez had just been a little more active....Cain would definitely be his number 1 GOAT HW of all time.
He gave Fedor a lot of respect. He said he just could not see Fedor's punches coming. He also admitted that after watching footage of the fight...his memory of the fight was wrong, indicating how badly hurt he was during the fight.
To top it off, he joked that maybe this is karma for calling Pride fake (now remember everyone, he was just saying that to troll Wanderlei Silva. He obviously didn't believe his mentor and friend Dan Henderson was competing in a totally fake organization. It's been established that there were works in Pride, but most of them were in Pride's early days, like Coleman vs. Takada).
