Dana White UFC 144 Vlog day 2

Dana White's second Vlog for UFC 144 is a look behind the scenes at the UFC 144 press conference in Japan.

[@RajmanGamingHD]

lol @ the Japanese guy calling Dana fat....and Bendo lookin hella smooth

[@notBowen]

Guy second from right at 6:40 in the black hoodie is the Japanese Cain Velasquez.

[@espada9]

The idea that martial arts started in Asia is historically incorrect, the Greeks did Pankration back in 648 BC which was very similar to modern MMA (grappling and boxing) and Greco-Roman wrestling goes back to Greek mythology. Nuba Wrestling my predate them all, it goes back to the Egyptian dynastic period.

[@imhungry4444]

@mmaandrew13 brazilian jujitsu comes from japanese jujitsu when carlso gracie was taught by Mitsuyo Maeda, a Japanese emigrant to Brazil who was then a 4th dan Kodokan judoka. Maeda was taught by the father of jujitsu: Kanō Jigorō

[@jgrimmier]

Franky will get mad respect from me if he can beat Benson. I honestly dont see it hapening though but wish him the best. Great behind the scenes video also.

[@ihateslideshows]

RADIATION EVERYWHERE!!!, wouldn't be suprised if the fighters on this card start getting washed up early due to radiation sickness.

[@hzrdswun]

I see what your saying.. but your basically boiling it down to Martial Arts being a divine secret only given to Asian styles Just as judokas had dojos and kung fu was practiced in temples with MA discplines dsnt mean this lifestyle was exclusive to those regions Persians practice traditional wrestling ( greco-roman etc.) till today in Zoorkhoones (gym) were fighters r taught strength and grappling alongside with disciplines like Javanmardi ( hivalry/ piety) - most other nations wld be the same!

[@hzrdswun]

martial arts oldest forms are in Greece and Persia in terms of wrestling and the likes ( well documented in history).. persians/egyptians/nubians have been wreslting and striking for over 5000 years with training houses similar to Dojos etc. The truth of the matter is martial arts was invented by humans and basically each culture has developed their own - the more militarily advanved or under threat nations were the more need for a martial art

[@wasabiP]

I speak Japanese. Dana's sarcasm both flew over the head of the translator and was simultaneously ignored by her. She didn't translate "thanks for insulting me" at all because there's no way that would make sense in Japanese. And when the Japanese guy said he was fat, Dana said thanks for noticing, the Japanese translator said it directly with no sense of irony whatsoever (coz it doesn't exist in Japan rofl). Overall must be hilarious being a translator and doing whatever the fuck u want.

[@evexxxxx]

@theundeadbatman PART I: my last response to the youtube couchfighter-morons, (if I start this once, it`s unlikely to end quickly), so read carefully how I destroy your argument. You will undoubtedly respond with a new, and just as invalid and crappy argument, but I wont respond to the next one anymore. - There is no separate category for strikes to the head/body/kicks and all the other possible attacks, so it doesnt matter if Diaz had more strikes to this or that, what matters

[@Chevalier765]

@mrJoe8423 Don't be sorry, you have your opinion. I agree that Henderson was more dangerous twice (choke and the heel kick) and his punches were stronger but, I don't agree concerning the numbers. Edgar is so fast that at each clinch, he can land 3 or 4 punches. Moreover, i don't remember how many times, Edgar throws Henderson like a puppet on the ground. I watched this fight in a french television and the commentators were very surprised of the result too.

[@cujo905]

@Leonidas3888 UFC Japan was pretty damn good last night. I do think there are too many events now though for the UFC but hey alot of them are free so cant complain. Pride events were great, but thats because they didnt put on so many events and were able to create the stacked cards. UFC was the same for quite a few years as well. I foresure disagree with Overeem easily destroying JDS, better overall stand up but Overeem doesnt have a good chin and speed adv goes to JDS

[@cujo905]

@Leonidas3888 I just dont think Goodridge has much to gain by saying some Pride fights were fixed. And its not like thats the first time Ive heard that. Im sure you have aswell. I dont think you'll hear really successful guys in Pride say that cause that would ruin there whole fight record... Personally Im glad the UFC have become the one big org. Finally got to see the matchups Ive always wanted. Certainly dont want MMA to become anything like boxing.

[@Leonidas3888]

@cujo905 LOL Ive been watching since 93 also, and yes Pride werent good at running a business, and I wouldnt go as far as to say fights were fixed, decisions were wrongly given but the UFC is guilty of that as well. As far as Goodridge goes he doesnt strike me as a credible source, him and the whole Coleman camp are known for their poor sportsmanship and drig induced attitudes. Competition is healthy and any competive organization will unfortunately be bought out by UFC.

[@evexxxxx]

@Oreillyisthebest Let the kid be, man. He obviously has no clue, all he does here is repeat word for word what Diaz said after the fight, so pathetic. Ripping on Condit for doing spinning moves and leg kicks, lol, thats like ripping on a quarterback for throwing a ball. Condit landed way more hits than Diaz, period. If Diaz is too dumb to come up with a counter-strategy for 5 fkking rounds he doesnt deserve to get a title shot.

[@canibizle777]

@danjhartmann How did he BEAT HIS A55.. Please Explain?.. was it his SUPERB RUNNING SKILLS?.. was it His fukin SPIN MOVE?.. spin move, after spin move, after spin move?.. His kicks to the leg? or his one LUCKY kick to the face?.. Lets face it, Diaz dominated the whole fight, chased him, dropped him. Diaz only mistake was not taking him to the GROUND earlier, so he'll stop fukin RUNNING.

[@cujo905]

@Leonidas3888 Ive been watching since 93, Pride ruined themselves, ran out of money and overpaid thier countrymen, UFC couldnt buy it if it wasnt for sale. Also remember alot of Pride fights were fixed and it had no structure to be a legit sport since there were soooo many matches that didnt make sense. I loved Pride though, very entertaining. Gary Goodridge has a book out, and talks about the fixed fights.

[@IFINALBOSS]

the guy at the end was epic you put on weight hahaha ; )

[@Nitro192192]

Easy to overlook because martial arts is intertwined with japanese and chinese and has been for centuries. When you think of indians you dont think of martial artists because let's be real nowadays theres thousands more white, black, hispanic, japanese and brazilian fighters and like..2 indian fighters that arent that good.

[@wasabiP]

@123gwf mm... not really lol. but he might be meaning it playfully coz there's a word that he might have translated from the japanese word 'baka', which friends call each other jokingly in Japanese. If you wanna surprise him, next time he calls u idiot, just point back and say 'baka!" Or u could just ask if he's being rude on purpose lol.

[@Frogger0neXx]

@kamionkami1 I think Condit fight out of character, and im sure he would admit it. Win is a win, but definitely not a dog fight as advertise. Was it a good plan? Yes. Was it exciting and all we thought it would be? No. He played it safe. Simple as that. And Nick Diaz did to Condit down so I don't know why you're doubting.

[@Humanoids]

@Brzbrngr he could've easily walked into his face shoving the cap off his head, but I understand that it wasn't really to make a point, as it was just to show your fanboyism towards Rampage by being disrespectful to his opponent. I'm sure you would get into Rampage's face like nobody else and are a much bigger man than Bader ever will be.

[@AnGhaeilge]

"Thank you for insulting me, I appreciate it!" - LMAO!

[@Edgar.travels92]

@canibizle777 No man anyone who knows about mma would have judged that fight 3 -2 rounds in favor of condit.....if Diaz wanted to win he shouldn't have let it go to the judges.....and I doubt u could step in the cage and last five minutes with condit so y even talk?

[@Billynayshere]

Finally a new opponent for Edgar only 5 fights with the same 2 guys.....ridiculous when Henderson wins hopefully he will have a better Champ schedule instead of an old BJ Penn twice and a trilogy with no talent Maynard! Also when Edgar loses, his "p4p" talk is OVER!!!

[@Leonidas3888]

@Leonidas3888 When the time comes Overeem will easily destroy Dos Santos as long as the UFC doesnt wait a whole year to make it happen. Ive wasted so much money hyped up UFC events and Ive never felt that way paying for a pride show;(

[@DmDaPDm]

My God! Why am i seeing Nick Diaz' name in every UFC video nowadays, Who cares if he really won, he tested positive for marijuana, So he lost either way, I'm a fan of the Diaz Bros. but for fucksake let it go...UFC 144 HERE WE GO!

[@canibizle777]

@danjhartmann Diaz mistake was not taking him to the GROUND earlier, using his submissions or ground and pound to wear him out.. at the end CONDIT would of been tired, and no STAMINA for him to RUN... or his spin move, after spin move, after spin move..SMH

[@Puokie]

@mmaandrew13 Most martial arts did start in Asia, and made their way west with travelers. Brazil, on the other hand, is the mecca of Mixed Martial Arts. Vale Tudo. But even Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is an evolved combination of Judo and Japanese Jujitsu.

[@Leonidas3888]

All old skool fans know u did kill pride. Not one ufc show has ever topped an average pride event. Every pride show gave you all the fights everyone wanted to see not filler garbage, it was about fights not milking the money. Noob fans know no better.

[@bfizzIemynizzle]

Good thing your SOPA hasn't passed, you wouldn't have been able to film that kickboxing match, or had the store's background music on your video! By the way... weren't you going to go on Joe Rogan's podcast and talk about your stance on SOPA?

[@Jagsm29]

You cant speak Japanese very well because they totally do understand the "thanks for noticing (I'm getting fat)" sarcasm. She didnt translate the "thanks for insulting" because there was another dude talking to her

[@Deadletter6]

Can someone tell Sheilds not to hit Sexy in the face, this could be his last UFC fight and we need to keep in as Sexy as possible(No Homo) Vitor at least had the courtesy to strike mostly the back of the head.

[@Brichmond35]

@mmaandrew13 lol good point.. but if you think about it they all add their own things. Brazil brought jujitsu which changed everything, but in Asia the whole Fight of the Samurai and Pride. they started a lot of it as well.

[@Brzbrngr]

@Humanoids it's okay bro. for what it's worth, I think your mancrush Bader has a shot if he wrestlefucks rampage and avoids trading shots. prepare to celebrate tomorrow night, bust out the appletinis and rainbow skirts

[@pipecfh]

@Chevalier765 what fight were you watching? It was close but Bendo got the W fair and square by dominating the cage, trying to finish the fight, destroying Edgars face and beign smooth tha whole fight.

[@Leonidas3888]

@Gademanyak Some say yes kilari, jim arvantis says greece with pankration and the chinese say shaui chiao of china of course. One could argue cave men style which is prolly linear strikes with takedowns

[@petercab88]

@ITroll4DaLOLS paul buentello former ufc fighter turned dana's handyman also played handymans stunt double in austin powers 2 he just had a bunch of trouble in jail legalize it dont criticize it one love

[@cool081164]

@Lerakon2 i'll agree that it is pointless to have the SOPA conversation in every UFC video, i'm just saying that it's not ridiculous to call it "his" SOPA if he is going to so publicly support it.

[@manz92]

@billy2693xz frankie edgar is very strong for his size and faster and has better hands. gray maynard would beat ben henderson and frankie knocked him out. i still want to see edgar vs maynard 4!

[@markdaforth]

@wwechamp7 from what i saw the interpreters translate in english to them what is being said and asked

[@11FBA11]

@AlcoholicSemenStain I was wondering that too, especially with Ben Henderson sitting right beside him.

[@onfaya1]

he doesnt call dana a referee ,he asked a question about the boowin of the crowd and dana tought the guys talked about the crowd bowin the ref,but he talkin about the crowd bowin dana

[@andym0903]

lol, at japanese guy calling dana fat. female american expat english teachers living in japan would complain about getting called fat all the time by japanese students. haha

[@kasul1s]

@mmaandrew13 Brazil is a birthplace of mixed martial arts and as he stated asia is birthplace of martial arts. there's two different thing MMA and martial arts in general...

[@theRealSep]

rampage still the best his charackter are awsome he is the best fighter in the world maybe not with his skills but the whole human is the best RAMPAGE WE LOVE YOU !!!!!!

[@amjan]

"the Chinese had kung-fu and the Koreans had taekwondo" LOL at Dana. Taekwondo was created in the XX century, fool. The chinese martial arts had exister for centuries.

[@evans81xxx]

Anyone else check to see if the Dana interview with ariel helwani was up after watching this lol

[@PeterMarjavara]

@Dungarth Oh cmon, if he were to list all the fighting styles that has come from Asia.. There are tens of thousands, and like 50 of them are widely known.

[@TheSteveYoung1984]

@canibizle777 diaz wouldnt be fighting gsp any ways he tested positive for pot wow a real good guy for the sport least condit can fight with out the drugs

[@mikeclip]

its kinda funny to me to see them 2 talkin about japan while Sexyama is behind them. They went sayin anything bad but he looked up once like "what u say?" haha

[@DRMMA618]

no one is making them. i have seen sometimes they don't even get that close. sometimes they just shake hands and that's it. no one is making them.

[@19rey93]

Ha Ariel - "because of the time difference and the exchange rate this will actually be a 30 minute interview, but it'll feel like 10 minutes" LEGEND

[@IMTHETRUTHH]

6 lbs aint shit ...now if you tell me 15 lbs... anyways tomorrow Bader will be bigger n he will weight more than Rampage, but I understand the rules

[@MMAUpdater]

@Diggler056 I understand what you mean, and I liked the video. But how are your supposed to know if you like the video or not if you don't watch it?

[@PK2190]

It would of been nice to have Cro Cops last fight there, but hell he knew he had to hang it up soon. Just would of been story book to do it back in Japan.

[@aerternum8]

Rampage's t-shirt says, "I'll kick your ass" in the Osaka dialect of Japan. Most of Japan's comedians and tough guys hail from the Osaka area.

[@Humanoids]

@Brzbrngr "prepare to celebrate tomorrow night, bust out the appletinis and rainbow skirts" didn't know you were coming, I would have prepared.

[@fighter4christ7]

Dana is always flemmy & always has some kind of lrge energy drink by his side. I don't see him living much longer as far as health goes lol.

[@browndani166]

Idk if anyone else agrees, but I feel like win or lose Rampage will retire where he became a legend in the sport. War Rampage. Knock out Bader!

[@David67369]

Rampage and bader staredown INTENSE rampage is taking that fight i hope and henderson for main event hopefully brilliant fight card again UFC

[@dif187]

@gthletic1 And I can't root for either of them because they are both so likeable, either way, it's a win for the fans, should be a great fight.

[@ejp93]

Lol Ariel " Because of the time difference and exchange rate this is going to be a 30 minute interview.... but it'll feel like 10 mins!" lol

[@volleydrop]

Pride rules made fights way more fun to watch. Some of the UFC fights unfortunately end up in wrestling matches. Still enjoy UFC though

[@Ihab23]

Does saying Pride's the only other org he's ever respected diss Strikeforce/WEC? I wish they employed some of the showmanship of Pride days

[@MrNeCr01]

@mmaandrew13 Brazil is the birthplace of Mixed Martial Arts. Asia is the birthplace of Traditional Martial Arts. That is what he said.

[@Gooknukem]

Wasn't a fan of Edgar and always rooted against him, but man, he can fight. It's gonna be a good fight and I'm actually pulling for FE

[@ThaPremiere1]

Ughhh that belt looks so sexy...I want one! Bring it Jon Jones I can take you!

[@jakville]

@normalpsychology Oh dang. I didn't know that. No wonder he offered Arianny to go skinny dipping with him when he showed his house.

[@Trevlee74]

I knew Henderson was a big LW, but damn. Seeing him stand next to Frankie, a guy who walks around at 160 he looks like a MW.

[@realfreakaynaughtay]

I love Frankie. People say he doesn't have personality to carry a card, but who gives a shit! His fights speak for themselves.

[@ipv4]

@mmaandrew13 Correction. Brazil may be the first place where they were actively competing in vale tudo/mixed martial arts.

[@RoryEastwayMMA]

@scotto132 no, its gotye - someone that i used to know. its like, top of the charts all over the world, or has been lately :L

[@mmaandrew13]

when ufc is in brazil. brazil is the birthplace of martial arts. when the ufc is in japan oh this is where martial arts started.

[@RyanDavis2306]

@PK2190 he's gone back to K1 so he hasnt completely retired...but if he gets Knocked out i think he'll retire after 1 fight

[@TKOHendo]

ROFL!!! Rampage Gettings the GIJIN treatment at home...Can't speak Japaneasy never know what your family is saying bout you!?!

[@ppopp661]

If all else fails Benson could get a job as a catalogue model,check him out shoulder 2 shoulder with Edgar....ooooo sexy man XD

[@Diggler056]

I can't understand why anyone would dislike this, don't watch them bruh...

[@MALIRIPPA]

@Malk64 Well ok i did not know that relax urself calling mé a idiot is completly uneccessary BTW dana Will also suicide ufc

[@syphlect]

This is by far the most silent press conference i've seen from UFC. Japanese have so much respect to stay calm and quiet.

[@imhungry4444]

@syphlect thats how its gonna be in the arena. its gonna be very awkward

[@G1Main]

Yeah, Asian people openly joke about weight...in their country it doesn't carry the same insulting stigma as the U.S.

[@angelo8349]

@xGrundisx Hahaha! I was waiting for a sexy girl and realized you were talking about sexyama. Yeah, very distracting

[@dtyndall11]

@311rvd Technically the show is airing in Japan on Sunday, I believe, but it is normal time for us, 10pm on Saturday.

[@Leunit93]

it took the guy all the way to the right a full 4 seconds to realize he should put his fist up starting at 6:38 haha

[@yourmajesty07]

edgar is gonna wreck this guy, this is a tune up compared to his last few fights

[@DeliriumzzZ]

@fighter4christ7 having a role like his in a company which requires that much attention has its ups and downs ;p.

[@Chevalier765]

Ufc 144 should be called: UFC 144 DAYLIGHT ROBBERY Edgar was stolen his belt. Absolutly unfair decision.

[@SoccerUFCjerseyshore]

@mmaandrew13 you're wrong brazil is where mixed martial arts started but japan is where martial arts started

[@eddiemil88]

UFC 144 should start at 10:30 Dana! RESPECT NBA ALL-STAR WEEKEND!!! i might not order it now if they overlap

[@moayyadD3]

i wonder why the 1 dislike ? Did he even watch the video ?!! That's the biggest proof he's just a hater !

[@rudiratte1]

dear UFC we don't want to see the press conference from another angle thanks

[@smilesterXtrem5]

You could hear all the cameras going when Rampage stared down with Bader.

[@harr77]

Man who is that hot Japanese chick behind Dana and Rampage on her phone? Oh damn never mind..........

[@RiseAboveEric]

I wonder if Gotye gave Dana permission to use that clip of his song in the beginning of this vLog. Hmm

[@johnnyboi741]

@lameljarvis bro that is his nickname he made up HIMSELF so ppl call him that stop being mad rofl ;)

[@polifemus244]

@ITroll4DaLOLS he said it to ariel but the guy that was messing with ariel i think is danas bodyguard

[@Bongsolo123]

Somebody should take this down due to copyright laws. Does Zuffa also own kickboxing? Just joking :)

[@11cacoo]

LOL akiyama is totaly eavsdropping on rampages conversation with dana

[@piratebri]

lol Dana's bodyguard tried to stop Ariel? Guess the guy aint the brightest bulb in the socket
