“When my mouth moves, yours is closed.”
Chael Sonnen taught Daniel Cormier not to interrupt during their podcast.
Sonnen and Cormier took similar approaches to producing MMA content on social media following their fighting careers. The famous ex-UFC fighters have their own YouTube channels and even work together on an ESPN show. Good guy/bad guy.
Sonnen and Cormier recently released a video of their predictions for 2025 MMA. Sonnen ends the segment by asking Cormier to stop interrupting:
“Well, I’ve been a really good partner and a really good friend this year. Any favors in store? Can I get a favor from you when we go into this break? I want you to do a real. Deep dive, but I want you to go into a word called a break, learn exactly what a break is, and then I want you to promise that you’ll try to come back a little later.”

“When my mouth is moving, yours is shut, that’s how it works, the bad guy and the other guy, if you like being the other guy, do a little listening instead of talking.”
