People here devalue and depreciate Chael way too much. He was one of the scariest middleweights in his prime and almost beat prime Anderson Silva, who was considered the GOAT back then. Has beaten former champions in UFC like Michael Bisping, Mauricio Shogun Rua and many other great fighters like Brian Stann, Okami, prime Babalu, Dan Miller. He also beat and looked good against Rampage and Wando in Bellator lately. Imo, he has big chance against Fedor.

Chael gets memed so hard, because he's the greatest trashtalker ever and has joked that he's basically a god. In reality, he was one of the best fighters for his time, but nowhere near the greats.
