(joke of the evening) If Ariel Hawani ( or however the fuck u spell it) if ariel ran into a wall with a boner he'd break his nose....( first time i heard that joke i spit water all over)..and dana white is prob thee best business man there's ever been or top 5 period hes all about makin money period he can say all this n that w/e hes a business man period he makes money off big fights that live up to hype...he pays bonus for that reason

[@dkoli]

Not gonna a lie, I fell asleep for flyweight fight. Its just not as interesting when the two guys weigh so little. Its like watching guys fight with pillows on their hands.

[@WAHB50YY]

Vitor did let go that arm, if he really wanted, he would have snapped that arm big time... He had a perfect grip, and he did not extend to the fullest of his ability, when he felt something was popping he must have thought that it would be just a matter of seconds and that Jon would have tapped... I respect Jon Jones, but I really wanted Vitor to win, and I would have not minded that arm broken!

[@KRiZZxTV]

Dana killed them except it is true that Brock Lesnar was the #1 attraction at the time. GSP hasn't been promoted and he's wasn't as popular as Brock even though he had done it longer than Brock.

[@TheSerpentKing]

its just fact the majority of people is not entertained by a flyweight bout. How many legendary boxers do we know in flyweight division? yeah, none. we want to see big strong scary guys, no boys which you could send to next state with one decent field goal kick. a subcompact is no cadillac and never will be

[@anonoumos]

lol i have a feeling jon jones grew that beard for some cushioning lol

[@alphared10]

True he bin fighting for sometime now ever though he is still young,congratz to him for winning the title.

[@KevinKillaKam]

Dana is not your typical company President. His attitude and dameaner come off just the right way for an MMA fight promotor. Males 24-35 can relate to him and that''s why he's so popular. I also agree, anyone who thought that flyweight fight wasn't entertaining is either on dope or dog food.

[@zeikz]

I wonder if Vitor was on TRT when he fought Jones... If so, pretty damn good win for Jones.

[@iaptus313]

I wonder if John Jones was on coke

[@iaptus313]

sorry, but i heard greg jackson blows it right in his ass before sparring, then rim job to clear all evidence

[@zeikz]

bird flew Finally something came out for a funny response, (thumbs up to you). Maybe he was on coke He's still a fucking beast whether or not he's fake.

[@zeikz]

***** Coke isn't TRT buddy, it doesn't boost your performance it takes away from it. With that being said take care.

[@zeikz]

***** So did Cormier, we probably read the same articles regarding this subject but it also states that it depends the time of day that they tested him. For example, if they tested him later during the day his testosterone will be lower and if its earlier in the day it will be higher. Yes people will suspect TRT which causes your body to stop produces its natural testosterone but considering how Overeem looked while he was juicing and how he currently looks or Vitor for that matter, when did Jones look like he was juicing? He's always been skinny plus Overeem had a similar frame to Jones when he fought at 205.

[@fpshooterful]

i disagree with you... THE worst thing u can do is diss the fans on not liking your product... bottom line is that UFC at the gate in toronto didn't do great sales.. TUF show on fx is at a all time low at its raitings.. and top of that u make diss the fans? the flyweight fight (i went to see the event live)... wasn't the best fight... especially when the belt was on the line... us fans have the right to say if it wasn't good or not.. so the next fight that does happens... the fighters steps up..

[@WAHB50YY]

Dude, I am not the one taking it personal at all, I loved the Flywieght fight, I do not find it WISE AT ALL that Dana White with his position goes about his rant like a little street kid who is emotionally scarred by people's remarks on the internet... He has to respect the opinions of people and let it go. Insulting a paying audience is never a good thing... Let him keep going with that attitude and you will see. The internet and its audience is not forgiving...

[@LenSengoku]

standing elbows are great which he does, they take more skill. short bumping elbows on the ground can open cuts and end fights early and are boring to watch imo, it can also allow more stalling because of holding position. bla blah blah, i'm just not a fan of elbows on the ground to how it makes for texture in fights. i like pride and old strikeforce rules. my opinion and a lot of mma fighters alike, ken shamrock, nick diaz...

[@redsoxrule14]

Ariel needs to learn respect and stop instigating fights among those who work 10 times harder than him. He's an intelligent person, but he knows exactly what he's doing and should stop acting to oblivious.

[@Reckin007]

Steve Simmons...just got served.

[@TGArthur]

You aren't getting my money Dana. I'm watching free live streams

[@guitarrocker1]

It was funny when he was saying nice try Ariel. Ariel, always trying to instigate shit.

[@bearwolffish]

Bones is warrior

[@LenSengoku]

elbows translate to punches? i'm not sure how your empahsizing a point or as to why i'm bringing up the elbows. his elbows are a huge part of his game. on the ground. without it, he wouldn't have caught machida and cut him, he wouldn't have cut vitor, it would change the game entirely. not to mention the grappling aspect and worrying about elbows and not worrying about elbows. many factors to how it would affect. could he still do ok, sure, but without it i believe nowhere near as good

[@GMoney9215]

UFC 153 main event Steve Simmons vs Dana White

[@iamthefoetus]

dana telling it like it is! mad props

[@clevelanddro216]

no chuck liddel was the face of ufc and mma for years so if anyone was the most famous it was him, second would b gsp the anderson silva, but brock is up there cuz he had so many fans follow him over from wwe, and i think the president would know about thier numbers better then u

[@TheFost]

yeah I've heard dana say that before. i bet you buy into all the ufc pr

[@mnj331]

why did dana say nice try to him?

[@Sotendo360]

Me either.

[@kaueolimpio6268]

ANDERSON SILVA vs JONES

[@txnhb]

dana has some serious mental issues with anger

[@OfficialGameFreakTV]

I'm glad that Dana is the kind of person to rip on moron fans and tells them to stay away.

[@ACross.04]

ok well in that case Koscheck, Bisping the Diaz bros, Overeem, and Sonnon there u go p.s not exactly word for word but and so far also with backing it up they haven't been so successful when it comes to title shots but hey they all talk shit and get knocked out or knock ppl out. perhaps u want an in prime rampage. i dnk wht u think but id say their ur best options from ufc.

[@PhilTess]

Who gives a fuck about twitter.

[@TheRhymez]

George St Pierre the top Attraction??? I knew it. You go GSP.

[@Ali-tz5zg]

Really not, it’s was Brock at that time ( now Conor) , but Dana didn’t want to say it because Brock turned down a contract that was offered to him at august that year, so Dana was angry...

[@CRhysGray]

I actually enjoy the flyweights alot, they work hard and fight hard. To me their the most technical division, as well as the most active out of the whole lot.

[@oddgeir2330]

Vintage!

[@aceventuraify]

Thank you Dana! i hate steve simmonds with a passion. Hes always desperately searching for a negative angle to spin on every single topic in sports. He is the worst. With all the lies he tells im shocked he hasnt been sued for defamation, libel or slander yet.

[@disgustika]

6:45 Wow, Jones looks surprisingly uncocky and honest in the post fight conference. This is the Jones I like. Please be more like this.

[@CraziBigShow]

I wish someone took his mic at the very end and told Dana : *Wrong again my friend* Woulda been hilarious

[@jackdanny4498]

im so gay for jon jones right now x

[@WAHB50YY]

I loved the the Flyweight fight, but I did not like Dana White insulting the fans... You go on Twitter and you see that stuff? Common, who cares who loves what? Some statements like "don't watch it, I don't want your money" should never be expressed in public. If you are aware, in this internet era, stuff like that can hurt you badly... You can't challenge your audience, those very people who pay for your shows and who support you... Take some criticism and be nice in return.

[@MostWanted4]

it comes off as if getting a dui is a good thing, what if instead of the pole was another car or a person who u killed. It doesnt matter that u didnt hit anyone its that u potentially could have and its nothing to be greatful for.

[@JLPuffums]

Rofl, almost choked on my cheerios when I started reading this dribble, good times.

[@rudybaylor5697]

Now dana may remove the flyweight division altogether.. but for king cringe cejudo

[@dannyholder9711]

This is why jon didnt take the sonnen fight on 8 days notice. He took this fight on a few weeks notice an damn near got caught

[@MostWanted4]

ye thats what he means but he doesnt say that, argo the way he is speaking about the dui is not coming off the right way.

[@TheRhymez]

Yepp, u would say that cos u didn't watch the fight with the eye of a fighter but the eye of a fan. Vitor gave it his all. He wasn't "trying" to survive, if he didn't do anything too offensive it wasn't because he didn't want to but because he couldn't. People think fighting Jon will be a walk in the park till they are face to face with him, then it's "Oh shit" Vitor was an old lion in that fight, he brought it... Jones was just muchhh better.

[@BTAKVE]

I agree with dana 100% whoever really respects fighting as a sport would have loved that fight. I mean it was technical, fast paced, good mix of strikes (incredible striking at that) and wrestling, just picture perfect from Johnson. How can Canadians hate that fight but love to see GSP just lay on people and hump their leg for 5 fucking rounds with an occasional good jab. When was the last time we saw GSP fight instead of ducking people anyway I honestly forgot when his last fight was.

[@cscottfish]

I think there are just alot of people that dont want to watch two guys that couldnt knock each other out with cement fists dance around. I didnt think it was a bad fight - i just dont like watching the lighter weight classes for that reason. I like the striking element that someone could knock the other person out.

[@MrJosephjunior]

nobody hates jon jones as a fighter hes a amazing fighter everyone knows, they hate his personallity and the fact he gets rich then buys a bentley and gets drunk and crashed it into a tree then calls himself a profession athleate

[@krich106]

I thought that fly weight fight was nice. But Mighty mouse or whatever made that fight worth watching. He outclassed dude soooo bad. Feel jones grew the beard to piss off dana... Seems he took a note from big country. But this shit? with dana bitching about people bitching? Man I wouldent even know this bullshit if it wasnt for dana speaking on it... Just let it go man, promote the fights.

[@ACross.04]

ppl like u annoy me. the guy is very young and reached fam very fast. he is just starting to lern the media which isint easy for anybody and i think he is doing a great job. plus he has done more in the Ufc in like 4 years then some hall of famers do in there career. plus every hater of his and gsp brings up their size advantage but u dont realize that Silva is just as big for his weight class. all u haters got to say is just gibberish get over it he had a great fight and proved himself again

[@ACross.04]

well i think wht it is with Jones is bc he is still very young and he reached his fame very fast and his fan bas is very shaky he has some big fans and some ppl who hate him and ppl who r on the fence. personally he if my fave fighter with GSP but i think he wants to be liked and respected so he is very cautious with wht he says bc he is just starting to l get use to and learn the media. as he gets older i think he will express his personalty more but will be a nice guy

[@Airk2475]

lol... pathetic. Brock was NEVER the biggest draw. yes the Fox numbers have dropped. but what are you gonna have to whine about when the next show numbers are highest ever? lol. stfu. like Dana said, keep your money. don't watch the fights. for every 1 of you... there are 4 new UFC fans. i'd like to take this time to thank Dana for being a phenomenal promoter, person and advocate for the MMA entity.

[@joxatoni]

e in his position should not get emotional over tweets, for god's sake, why act like a cry baby and insult the fans? And say arrogant and bold stuff like I don't want your money..I mean if he had to say this at every press conference when fans tweet criticism, come tell me how many pay per views the UFC will have in a year's time.. I liked the flyweight's fight, but I will never pay to watch the UFC again just for the ugly words I heard from Dana, there r free streams online why the hell bother

[@joxatoni]

I agree with the the flyweight fight was amazing, the speed, the techniques, all the beauty of a highly technical fight, but I do not agree with Dana White, for his own sake, it's not wise to insult paying audience, no matter how well the UFC IS DOING, that kind of arrogant attitude Dana displays is a non no for someone who is the highest representative of an organization... He just showed what a cry baby he is getting emotional about people's tweets, I mean seriously Dan?Getting upset like that

[@tjbeson]

Congrats MIGHTY MOUSE ... You earned it bro !

[@MostWanted4]

ye, i dont hate jones. this is jus for his reputation and by the looks of it other ppl agree with me lol

[@rpn453]

It's not that I don't like watching Flyweights; I just don't like watching DJ. There are fighters that bore me in every division. Since entering the UFC, I can't recall him threatening to finish his opponent even once. Using his speed to avoid and smother two fighters I normally enjoyed watching - Yamamoto and Torres - may have made a bad first impression.

[@LenSengoku]

jones is good but he's "the best thing the UFC has seen". not mma monsieur dana white. he wouldn't have cut it in pride with no elbows on the ground. he needs those. just like tito. they are both exclusively ufc rules fighters. chuck liddell, vitor belfort, sakuraba, fedor, nogeuira, to name a few. mma legends

[@ACross.04]

im guessing bc the question was to try to make Jones say somethin wrong or bad or something to hold against Jones or the ufc all together or Dana felt like he was trying to say the figt was fixed or something so Dana said nice try to him bc Dana feals he was looking for some controversy for the media.

[@scoots3131]

Simmons has been a farce in the Toronto sports media market for many many years. We all agree, Dana. It's not just UFC. He's wrong on almost everything he writes. Including ripping individuals from doing charity work, community involvement, and overseas military appearances. The guy's a joke.

[@EJofTheFam]

This kind of stuff makes Dana White look unprofessional. No other sports mogul gets in front of a camera and rampages like a moron toward people who don't matter. He needs to let these things roll off his back and be the bigger man.

[@echaggen]

What i want is a fighter who you know will not go the full 3 or 5 rounds, a fighter who will either KO or get KO'd. A fighter who is isn't humble, a fighter that talks shit and backs it up.A fighter that is out for blood and has no respect for any opponent.

[@bigfrank447]

Brock was the biggest draw, Dana just lied. The Fox numbers aren't just stagnating, they are dropping. Dana tried to spin it, made an ass of himself. And the mighty mouse fight was pretty poor. MM engages very little, runs 955of the fight.

[@sgps]

i know the feeling, most ufc fans aren't interested unless there's a finish. which is stupid. there are tons of great fights that ended with a decision. finishes are awesome, but its good to watch a great fight go to a decision every once and a while.

[@TheFost]

I wasn't impressed by the flyweight fight. To be honest I would rather watch 2 heavyweights outside the top 10 than watch the top 2 flyweights in the world. You don't want my money? Don't worry Dana I never buy the PPVs I watch them on wiziwig for free.

[@dolcca]

i watched just the first round of johnson vs benavidez and i couldn't keep watching it. i skip it, i knew it will end by decision and that what happened. just remove that fucking flyweight, it's like kids or smurfs fighting each other...

[@drewba1267]

really really want to see him face hendo do not think hell be able to handle hendos power and wont be able to take him down or maybe even after a few more defences move up and fight a heavyweight like cain or jds

[@LenSengoku]

ufc has had those rules since time, so i don't know what you mean by standard. the skill level in mma has nothing to do with the rules i'm talking about. of course the skill level has increased.

[@a69a59b]

lol at you calling me bias one of the skilled warriors in the ufc lol, nothing but elbows and kneecap kicks, true champ LMFAO he almost lost to a MW. He only wins because of reach and size.

[@Davyleek]

it was a good event and the flyweights put on a good fight but johnson was running away a good bit in the fight , and brock sucked ass the guy writing about him must be a wwe fan

[@lilwillie47]

Steve Simmons is the new Loretta Hunt. It's nice to see Dana's tantrums are becoming more PC. For the fans who don't like flyweights, give John Dodson a watch, you might change your mind.

[@max69ng]

Vitor is a too nice of a guy. When you are in the ring is either you or him. I rather him then me. You have to be No mercy in the ring. After the fight you can be as nice as you want.

[@rklsh]

I love smaller weight classes because of the speed and action... but 5"3, 5"4 is too small for me to take the fighters seriously. Looked like watching some skinny teens fight

[@carlosvillicana505]

That reporter that made the stupid report Dana was talking about at the start of the video is a perfect example of what most ignorant fans are. Especially the ignorant fans on KZbin.

[@MostWanted4]

JONES, STOP SAYING UR DUI IS A BLESSING, THAT DOESNT COME OFF THE WAY YOU THINK IT DOES.

[@thaiboypsp3000]

Not to hate, but Vitor's bjj is weak. he always been weak always has been weak. He was submitted by Reem and he couldn't do anyting when Ortiz put him on his back.

[@echaggen]

True, but Koshek rarely finishes. The Diaz brothers are the closest thing to what i would like but i would like a fighter who NEVER goes to decision.

[@SSShino]

a toronto sun article :\ a newspaper with a grade 8 reading level... pick up a copy of national post, or globe and mail dana. ffs toronto sun /facepalm

[@wesser260]

@ 4:25 mighty mouse is so upset that he just won the title for the first time and no one cares or wants to talk to him... Kinda feel bad for the guy

[@MrFrankTheRabbit]

I didn't notice it myself but why would Vitor (or any other fighter) ease up when they could finish the fight. Even if it means breaking an arm. =S

[@thesandman8233]

ohh i see i dont think that he meant to stir the pot but i guess when people know you you like to do so it might come back and bite u in the butt

[@traveler10001000]

And anyone cares what you want?? No offense but I doubt any fighter really cares about what some random irrelevant guy on youtube wants...Sorry

[@drewdrew245]

Dana is cool and all but he really needs to stop ripping fans whether they are fake or not I'm just saying I hear him ripping fans too often

[@jmf420]

I don't think it's necessary for Dana to defend the UFC like this. Everyone knows that the UFC is the premier MMA organization in the world.

[@FCDonkeyKong]

flyweight fights are really quick and exciting, but there not many KOs cuz a lack of power. I like KOs much better than a 25 minute fast fight.

[@rodneycollinsworth5928]

dont forget Wanderlei silva , that guy was a fuckin destroyer in Pride. totally agree bout Jones in PRIDE, he would not have done so well

[@wesser260]

Keep trying to convince people the lighter divisons are the best... There's a reason their fights are usually free or co-main events

[@cestrell]

Ok. I'm not mad at Jon anymore. He's got a ways to go before I'll "cheer" for him again but he proved his mettle this time around.

[@Maffus]

respect to jon jones for not tapping to that armbar but damn i can't stand listening to him talk. Just doesn't seem genuine.

[@blaaket123]

I just wish Dana would stop going after people who give an opinion on his company. Makes him look like a little child.

[@maidenfanatic33]

I like the flyweights but I don't think Dana should criticize someones OPINION as they are entitled to it but danas cool

[@a69a59b]

took him 4 rounds to beat a MW and he almost lost in the first round.... and he just elbowed and kicked the kneecap lol

[@zedek_]

I love that Dana called out Ariel. He's so obnoxious, always trying to start drama with his passive aggressive shit.

[@envisionluke]

I like how John Jones won the fight so Dana White is his friend one more time... So fucking transparent Dana!

[@toxiconflict]

I didn't relate low IQ to why they are good in sports, but that would make sense since that's all they can do.

[@MrJaxwin]

I agree. He could've snapped it Frank Mir style, but he's too nice of a guy. He thought Jones would tap.

[@petelebu]

vitor prooved that jon jones is beatable thats for sure, i wanna see machida and shogun vs jones asap.

[@keysersmokey]

Ariel is always trying to start shit between fighters, managers, and Dana through loaded questions.

[@dejuanyoung8436]

Hahaha demetrious Johnson or whatever his name is farted @ 8:12 Lmfao

[@ZakH644]

hahah and at 8:29 jon smelled it.

[@toroquan2982]

+Zach Falls Jones couldn't even answer the question

[@kazimnaqvi6388]

Lol look how far both of these have come since then. Two GOATs.

[@envisionluke]

I did have respect for Dana but now he is really loosing it. Good point to on your part.

[@odin1911]

He insults the Fans that's hating! Don't take it personal! Flyweights are the real deal!

[@MrJaxwin]

I agree. He tried to make him tap. He should've tried to break it. Frank Mir style.
