[@hackum1]

[@mdavis1992]

i hope dana never retires, i can't imagine the UFC without him (or Joe)

[@javierunirodriguez]

Your making MMA what it truly is

[@JamesBlair7]

@MagnusWyvern So True

[@Yuspliff]

CRAZYY NIGHT OF FIGHTS!!!!!!!

[@roumanobr]

chael sonnen is the best p4p trash talker in the history of this sport.

[@SnowboardProCamp]

Like the Burton shirt Dana! Come out to Whistler for some free snowboard coaching!

[@MrBIOSkunk]

its going to be one hell of a fight!

[@LyssLiLi]

Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night!... All Day!

[@romes98ify]

ariel is a very good interviewer, gd job

[@hommage101]

boxing is number 1

[@adamstone_]

i would love to see rashad vs Dan Henderson or rashad vs shogun

[@MrFreshxKicks]

how amazing was the fight?? i would love a full description i missed this fight

[@dapperdonmilli]

Uncle chael is a fuckin genius!

[@Steadno]

ariel = #1 mma reporter hands down!

[@lucky44124]

I agree Dana is MMA... its great he is only around 42 so thats a good thing!

[@CoolSebbe431]

MMA is going mainstream, even more mainstream. But UFC is MMA. "Hey you watch UFC??"

[@guitarclubca]

Dana White is the UFC , Dana is 100% responsible for the success of the UFC

[@CMTOM]

It is truly incredible all the hard work Dana has done in the past ten years to bring this sport and UFC brand to mainstream level. It was ignored and loathed by many. Today, it is accepted and beloved by most. And all the chancers are trying, repeat, TRYING, to jump on the bandwagon and cash in on all of Dana's hard work. Not on Zuffa's watch. It is a shame the amount of critical reception this man gets from clowns who wouldn't even know of the sport if Dana hadn't put it on the map.

[@timmybus21]

ariel is the best mma reporter, thanks for all the great interviews!

[@FroRogan]

@poolboyinla didn't they air the Guida vs Henderson fight in the US? They showed it in Australia before the JDS vs Velasquez fight.

[@theprodigyPR]

What Chael interview???

[@DBonaldi]

@theprodigyPR He participated in an interview a few days ago called 'Off The Record' with Michael Landsburg and the interviewer kept asking Chael non sensical questions and Chael walked off and mocked him.

[@iRuckiz]

i cannot NOT watch a dana interview, i have to see em all lol

[@Dojacon]

ariel is a savage

[@hoff920]

if they wanted a long fight then they should of put any George St Klitschko fight

[@abrasiones]

Ariel, great questions!! Congrats!! Can you asking next time you see it about Gegard Mousasi and his transfer to UFC ?? Thanks a lot!

[@poolboyinla]

Who was the comic book guy and what did he do? Cung Le does have some traditional martial arts background, but apparently he was also a stud wrestler. The Fox broadcast could have been better...at least if the Guida-Henderson fight aired...but who other than Dana hasn't said that.

[@javierunirodriguez]

Dana your #1.

[@unclebuck39]

Dana white smokes ice.

[@Mannykeri]

what interview were they talking about at the end?

[@MagnusUlfgarsson]

Giant mistake not having the Henderson Guida fight on FoX.

[@aznguy11111]

where was chael sonnen? i

[@falangarang]

gr8 wrk ariel...as usual...

[@jaganmaster]

I would love to see Dana on Joe Rogan's podcast if he hasn't done so already.

[@Brovrt]

i wonder if a.silva will get injured come fight week and chael ends up facing hendo, thats a match up id like to see

[@MattSingh1]

@TheMightySPLovesMe In the international markets, the UFC actually aired Henderson/Guida. Here in the UK, we saw that fight instead of the 30 minute hype promos.

[@cujo905]

UFC 139 is stacked, so many great matchups.....Hardcore fans certainly dont need extra buzz to watch the event.....And for the cry babies who dont seem to understand the whole Fox event, RELAX and enjoy the full events next year...There is approx 33 Events next year, and 12 are PPV so plenty of free events...Some of you act like you could run the UFC better....I think its about time you show them respect, they've earned it!!!!!!!!! MMA is where it is because of Dana period!!!!

[@mxbblife_mu]

@MagnusWyvern Damn right! That fight was pretty epic.

[@whatdupdoh]

@UCSDkidd OMG thats why they seem too have so much chemistry good catch.

[@FelixBrignoni]

@ikebanaJc, The Comic book guys Dana White was referring to was guys like Bobby Lashley and Dave Batista.

[@huggy68]

Ariel really needs 2 get a fresh edge up

[@LyssLiLi]

@performancepoo It reminded me of it when Dana White told Ariel Helwani about everytime him and Joe Rogan would get into phone convos, it would take up about 2 hours.

[@ThyJovan]

@MFINN23 Shame you guys didn't get what we had in Australia, on free TV instead of the 30 min build we had the Guida - Benson fight and the Johnson fight after the title fight.

[@killakamm105]

yeah dana im glad you taking legal action against ny. you have play hard ball with this guys

[@Uncultured_Swine69]

I love it how Dana always forgets shit and he asks someone else haha

[@bkcpisme]

oh look, an interview with Dana up before Karyn could post one. That hasn't happened in a while.

[@MagnusUlfgarsson]

Yes hidnsight is 20/20, but people were crying out for that fight to be on FoX given how it would be an outstanding fight and showcase for MMA. So it's not like people said it after it was fight of the night.

[@MrBIOSkunk]

Chael just could not believe that the interviewer got his facts the wrong way round accusing Chael that HE backed down from the rematch between him and Anderson was a really stupid thing to say if you even moderately follow MMA you know that Chael desperately wants that fight and Anderson was attempting to squirm out of it. Sorry not Anderson but his management! Anderson will fight anyone in his weight class, but it's a business that his management create and that is who was trying to squirm out

[@sunnypop28]

@buthel47 random people were protesting

[@bkcpisme]

@MyDeArmAsTeR1 Ah good to know! Thanks.

[@adamstone_]

@buthel47 he meant they were protesting ufc and mma in general

[@b1ackic3]

@roumanobr he's also very good and can back it up.

[@brknspacebar]

fuck sakes ariel, everytime dana starts getting into one of his rants you change the subject on him...i don't care so much about your questions you have for him, just let dana talk, thats why we watch....

[@crimescene08]

@JobyJonesJnr thanks man... i mean ..here is a person interviewing chael sonnen and asking him stuff that we havent seen other ppl ask... but what does he do..looks mad confused and leave... and the funniest part ever is him saying who cares if he loses lol goes to show how much he respects his career and the UFC cuz he said if he lost he'll leave the UFC ..i guess he fights for no reason other than trying to gain popularity...

[@SchultzAnders]

@stylezNout I think if i had that job, i would get used to get no sleep.

[@JohnnyBoyCali]

Props to Ariel for asking the tough questions here. I wish he would have flat out been able to tell Dana that putting up just one fight was a stupid decision. It always amazes me how I've worked at companies where the big wigs turn out to be such morons who make the wrong decisions.

[@whatdupdoh]

Um where is the plaid shirt? Ariel you still better be rockin the Nikes at least.

[@Grnvolpe]

Everyone is always commenting about how hot Karyn Bryant is, but I gotta say. Ariel would fetch a high price in jail. Specially with great interviews like this one. Keep it up

[@Prodigyz8]

@TheMightySPLovesMe 1 fight. 1 hour time slot....There is really no other way to do the broadcast...It wasn't that bad to sit through...I just don't know how people can say I "hated" the fox event.

[@Yeezus2295]

he didnt talk sbout chael sonnen

[@JohnnyBoyCali]

@MFINN23 Yeah but showing Cain watching tv with his wife and his dad picking lettuce was so uber exciting. Oh and who can forget Dos Santos walking around Brazil hugging people. Would you really have rather watched Henderson Vs Guida or Dos Santos at a family part eating food?

[@kizersuzi]

dont say p4p to sonnen coz he'll rip your heart straight out

[@blade83336]

@superwhiteboy619 yea i agree they were outdated but there isnt a rule that says they cant ask

[@MyDeArmAsTeR1]

@bkcpisme LOL this interview was online like two days ago. Ariel always posts his videos on mmafighting and then days later on youtube

[@MagnusUlfgarsson]

@piratebri I have my facts perfectly straight actually. I said it was a giant mistake not having the Henderson / Guida fight on Fox. I didn't say it was Dana's mistake, I just said it was a mistake. I know all the facts, perhaps you should put more effort into reading what people say.

[@KBox1991]

@blastodermx4 Thats grown up

[@oOMaGMaHOo]

@MrJohndoe505 you can't have watched many mma cards then

[@MyDeArmAsTeR1]

@mdavis1992 its not just about retiring, anyone can die any day.

[@Jeremyramone]

damn,i had no idea it was a bloody 7 year deal. thats an immense pile of spandoolix ol scout.

[@piratebri]

@MagnusWyvern You, and the 66 ppl who thumbs up'd you don't have your facts straight. FOX told Dana they will do 1 fight on Fox. Not 2, not a whole card. Of course Dana would have preferred to put as many fights on Fox as he could, but this was prior to the actual deal start on Fox (starts in January.) But hindsight is always 20/20. But the fact is, it wasn't Dana's call. It was Fox's call. So if it's a mistake, it's their mistake. But remember, the deal doesnt even start til Jan...

[@ticosexy22]

@bricksmma When you are under stress, you are more vulnerable to be sick, because the inmune system is weak.

[@iXHeatSeekerXi]

@AlcoholicSemenStain probably because he travels so much, meets so many people, and doesnt get much sleep, plus a shit ton of stress

[@mweiss1982]

Michael Landberg made Sonnen look like a fool lol

[@komaaaa]

what dana's 2nd says...dana's 2nd chin gets..

[@elheadkickio]

@mjccmc82 That and shaking the hands of/ bro hugging hundreds of fans every event.

[@Antix]

@tatertots00 wtf is ufc vs fox

[@blade83336]

seems like ariels slackin n karyn is takin his place

[@Gillyh86]

the end of this video is f*cked up

[@Steven1992ization]

@astronautonomicron where do you get your weed from?

[@dapperdonmilli]

@TheDomy24 lmao amen!!!

[@JobyJonesJnr]

@crimescene08 you speak the truth son, good for you

[@Clymax01]

@Boomersays Im so glad you said that because this aint the first time he has done something like that....He deserves to get a stockstan slap

[@DAMIENsayWHODAT]

@mdavis1992 ikr!! Dana is the best owner that us as fans could ever wish for.

[@dapperdonmilli]

@TheDomy24 that's where u wrong sir, you're thinking about $ to me Dana is the best cause he's all about the fans ,he care about what we wanna see .....keep in mind I'm a huge boxing/pacquiao fan but bob assrum is all about his pockets..let me ask u this,when was the last time he put pacquiao vs a guy from another promotion??

[@DrChitta]

rashad does not deserve a title fight yet, he should fight shogun first, henderson vs bones jones would be 1 hell of a fight. also sonnen is a prick, he should get 1 decent challenger b4 fighting silva again.

[@Astrix321]

@mjccmc82 or that he shakes 200-500 people hands everyday

[@superwhiteboy619]

i saw that interview wit chael & in canada, that guys questions was mostly stupid & outdated, & dana please......... THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER: SILVA VS SONNEN (AKA BRAZIL VS USA)!!!! PLEASE DANA MAKE IT HAPPEN

[@superwhiteboy619]

@warmaker911 chael isnt representing the us, obama is chael is jus an mma fighter, most ppl outside mma probally dont even know his name

[@MrBIOSkunk]

@crimescene08 - if you ask a stupid question - you get a stupid answer. The interviewer needs to do his homework!!! Completely agree how Chael reacted. But I want Anderson to win the fight as i agree with the second thing you said that Chael thinks he's better than he is and also Anderson - I believe is the better figher. But will be a damn good fight!

[@mweiss1982]

@mweiss1982 LandSberg...missed the S

[@DexterHaven]

@soulpiper No Shogun is 1-1 in his last two fights. W Griffin. L Hendo.

[@OffTheBeatenPath_]

Sonnen interview here -> watch?v=eeL4W9o7RXA At least until it gets taken down.

[@Redman092000]

@Boomersays he is an instigator rampage and nick diaz called him out on this

[@MrEKIM96]

@roumanobr he's managed to make everyone think he's good, just compare the records of anderson and chael and who they've actually fought

[@ContempoJOSH]

@MJHOOKEDONMMA I think Chael knocking himself out is a very unlkely outcome.

[@bschmall95]

@MFINN23 that was not part of the deal, just one show not the real deal

[@daddsha]

@roumanobr LOL DID YOU FORGET ABOUT TITO ORTIZ?

[@yellowsneakers234]

@ikebanaJc He meant guys like Bobby Lashley who were being hyped by Strikeforce as the next big thing and ended up flopping hard. Lashley was being paid a rediculous amount to fight and had some of the most pathetic performances of any big name stars coming to MMA.
