Dana White UFC 106 Video Blog - 11/19/09

Dana White UFC video blog leading up to UFC 106 on 11/21/09. 106.UFC.com

[@Ex0dus111]

Glad the Dana blogs are back, this is a million times better then watching guys who don't talk to the camera messing around before a fight.

[@jerzice]

Looks like Chuck is enjoying his retirement & is getting to go to a lot of fights, good for you Chuck, you deserve to enjoy life now brother !

[@birote74]

Hilarious, keep blogging behind the scenes with the fighters, its too funny. I could see a tv show in the works...!

[@TheresaLegacy]

Chuck is so cute... I miss him already... hope he comes back to UFC soon..

[@whb786]

Lmao @ 8:50 " How long did the doctor say you needed to wear those." Great line, should've gotten a laugh

[@MLXXIII]

I found it pretty funny how they went black and white when Dana and Anthony Johnson were talking and Johnson disappeared ... Haha

[@Ashurst]

Love Dana's blogs.

[@bk3896]

I like these videos, gives a differen't perspective on things.

[@Phoenix10k]

Damn, watched that whole thing just praying he was gonna say something about Karo. I'd love to have been there when he got the message from Karo that he's backing out.

[@Trawn666]

he said "small" silva and he was talking about Jose Aldo, the guy who won the featherweight championship that night

[@Boljarin]

I lOVE THESE BLOGS!

[@elheadkickio]

Lol, I love that the camera guy caught Tiki's shoes, there was no way he was getting away with those things once Dana saw them.

[@marve76]

Dana Your Hella Funny!!! Keep your blogs up!

[@Motionhaus]

i love this videoblog.

[@DasGuntLord01]

The fight on the screen was actually pretty good, from memory.

[@samme79]

yeah i always watch it on balls channel 36 in sky cable in philippines i watched it since UFC 96 until present

[@TheMartialWay100]

Correction Bruce Lee was a Mixed martial artist, a mxed martial artist is a person that does more than on martial art so yes Bruce Lee was a Mixed Marital artist because he studied various Martial arts

[@thalifechanga]

Yea Jose is a beast i predict if he gets the belt...hes gonna keep it if he stays in his wieght class..

[@timchain]

cant wait til ufc 106!!

[@stockmaster1982]

Man Dana white probably has the best job in the world! No wonder he's always so happy! Too bad he still doesn't have Fedor though! His work is yet not done, untill you bring in the best fighter!

[@sicboi80]

Yeaaa Dana vlogs!

[@xGaLoSx]

LOVE YOU DANA

[@bigdaddydestro]

Dana rocking the Gary Shaw track suite.

[@SyDeWiNdEr628]

awe dana and tito getting along like bff's thats cute. hahaha

[@Boomheadshot692]

Dana White = best life ever

[@The_Solar_Guy_Eric]

They don't have an arrangement, Zuffa ownes WEC. It's UFC's sister company.

[@MortisTheSaurus]

My prediction: Rumble Johnson will get a shot at the welterweight title by the end of 2010.

[@mmastylez]

well the top stars of boxing make around 10x what the top stars of mma make but amateurs in mma tend to make more money then boxing amateurs so it is kind of a trade off, but i think its pretty safe to say boxing isn't dieing its still more popular then mma their ppv numbers prove it same with pro boxing purse compared to ufc purse, but i like both sports and both are thriving and ufc is growing at a fast rate it will probably surpass boxing soon

[@TheMartialWay100]

I already told you the definition of mixed martial artist

[@samme79]

dude pls boxing has been around more than 100 years and know MMA is the big catch and boxing is only anticipated when remarkable fighters fight like pacman, mayweather or any other boxers you know

[@eastendlukey]

yeah it's weird. there was one on saturday, 105. then there's another this saturday. don't know why they organized it that way

[@yyott]

I don't think he's afraid to fight Rashad, but I do think he's afraid of being further humiliated.

[@KJGould]

It's because most who watch UFC DON'T watch WEC is a problem. Less viewers = less advertising revenue = less pay for fighters. Hardly any of the fighters at this WEC even cracked $20k guaranteed purse money just to turn up. Brown made something like $16k. TUF guys make more then that. More title fights in UFC = more PPV buys, because most fans look for title fights to justify making a purchase. Outside of Penn vs Sanchez there won't be another title fight until Feb 2010, maybe longer! Fold WEC!

[@crovax17]

nice to see how dana watches fights he's exited about. -_-

[@DannySMalone]

*sighs* when you upload a video on to youtube. Even when the video is live, YT still process the video. So no its not a "set quality". During the short-term the quality does get better, but it is only a few hours. ONLY A FEW HOURS. Its not that a year old video is amazing quality, the quality gets better after a couple of hours of the vid being live. The quality gain subjects to diminishing returns. If you dont believe go read the youtube support section. Im not lying to you...

[@cjl90]

you're pretty cool now since youve been an Aldo fan for so long.

[@KJGould]

1) USA is the hotbed of MMA right now. Japanese MMA hasn't been the same since Fuji TV pulled out of Pride, Pride essentially collapsed under its own corruption and mismanagement and not even Zuffa could save the shambles it was in as no one in Japan wanted to touch it. Japan will pay over the odds for certain fighters, but there've been instances where they've not paid some fighters AT ALL (Nick Diaz being a prime example). North American PPV is where the money is right now for top MMA fighters

[@MessiahUK]

You gotta be completely ignorant to blame the UFC for that, they don't choose nor employ the judges. They are the responsibility of the athletic commission.

[@NotRightN0w]

Cub Swanson is not hurting, even with the broken hand.

[@samme79]

maybe but you know i think really vera won the fight its like the fight in UFC 104 where rua was thought to win the fight and i guess the judges saw it differently

[@jtnorg]

So tito and dana white don't look like they hate each other as much as they would like us to believe.

[@ThomasDailey]

UFC PPV buys only total 250,000? And the lack of knowledge continues. Let me provide some facts for you. UFC 97 - 625k UFC 98 -635k UFC 99 -360k UFC 100 - 1.7 Million. UFC 101 - 900k. UFC 102 - 435k. UFC 103 about 600k. Fact is UFC 105 (which you are basing all your misinformation on) was free on Spike TV. At the end of last year UFC 92 did 1.2 Million and UFC 91 did 1 Million back to back.

[@GtheMVP]

What does being a kid have to do with smoking pot? It's the best recreational drug on the planet IMO, no hangovers, no bad decisions, food tastes great.

[@juice3335]

yea the free one last saturday and the one coming up

[@everf]

@normalpsychology that's Tiki Ghosn, use to fight in the UFC, now he's a trainer.

[@KJGould]

UFC has most of the best fighters in the world. And by most i don't mean a 51% majority. They have easily 75% if not more. Apart from certain fighters that are technically world class but largely unknown, other promotions bring very little to the table. I think UFC would co-promote if there was a promotion with a proven track record and similar level of BUSINESS SUCCESS. Strikeforce isn't there yet, while Affliction, Elite XC, Bodog, IFL, WFA all failed. UFC have nothing to gain with copromotion

[@camarribacamabajo]

dude... im fucking drunk now ... but I have to say I LOVE ALL THESE GUYS.. I mean look at Chuck behaving like a kid and all these WARRIORS that teach us how to manage with our daily life problems.... wow!!!! And these aint no street punks that didn't make it anywhere... these guys, ALL OF THEM on these video blogs are fucking HEROS

[@paddiosf]

I miss Chuck fighting its to bad his better days are behind him..

[@rayallen0]

or he is there with Tito...his original teammate who he trained with before Rampage?

[@DannySMalone]

stop moaning about the quality of the vidoes. As of now this vlog was uploaded like 15 minutes ago. KZbin is still processing the video. Quality will be much better in a few hours time. Watch it now and shut up, or wait a bit longer if you find this unwatchable.

[@ThomasDailey]

Maybe MMA fans that are clueless are angry with the UFC for those reasons, but knowledgeable MMA fans know that the UFC does not pick the judges or the referees. The UFC cannot be held accountable for the judges or referees of their events. Want to blame someone blame the State Athletic Commissions. The UFC is subject to their rulings. Without the Athletic Commissions the UFC would be nowhere like it was in its infancy.

[@pr0n3]

It doesn't matter if its the WEC, he IS the wec too. Your the one making assumptions that he has no clout. He could gotten a seat no problem if he wanted too. You seem to be a Dana hater just like all the others. Dana's the guy that made MMA mainstream in the US and he's brought a lot to the table. Don't know where your hate comes from.

[@TheresaLegacy]

isn't he one of Rampage's coaches on the TUF?

[@DrewIsFail]

Ortiz Griffin wasn't controversial i had the first round close and Griffin killing tito the 2nd two. Ortiz says he got two take downs in the 2nd to win it? BS. he got 2 take downs and did hardly anything (ripping scar tissue looks cool but doesnt get you extra points) In fact Tito was in more danger in griffins gaurd not to mention all the damage he took trying to get the take downs. For the summary of the story look no further then the 3rd round. Griffin tears him apart.

[@StephenGladue]

thats a awesome hat titos wearing. anyone know where I can buy that?

[@25RABS]

who was dana talking about to rumble johnson saying he looked like a young spider silvia

[@shogunboxe]

yay long time ago, and will do again if they ever meet. But Ko and rumble winner should fight hardy, and GSP should fight A.silva

[@pr0n3]

He IS the ufc. He chose not to sit there, he barely was even paying attention to the fights and was most likely there for PR purposes. You seem to be making assumptions, and well....assumptions can sometimes make fools...

[@shogunboxe]

nothing against dan hardy, but rumble-kos W should get the TS first, and Hardy should fight vs Fitch before TS

[@soreal4eva]

9:50 i thought that was rampage for a second lol

[@simplyphenomenal]

I do too, we all should.

[@Retpallie]

Dana is one cool dude. normally u'll see him in a suit, but this guy could really rock urban'ish, punk style if he wanted to. hehe.. love how he socializes with the fighters... watch 2:05-2:25 or so.. lol i wouldnt dare mocking Chuck like that.. haha that was great these guys are cooler than i thought.

[@CutCokeCrack]

who is the guy with the two broken hands, did not recognize him?

[@TheMartialWay100]

no man not only chinese martial arts The man studied boxing dude

[@robocop124]

I thought dana owned the wec or is at least partial owner but i may be wrong

[@samme79]

the flurry didnt even damage vera a bit

[@biologyprodigy]

tito's back

[@CarlosMarioMedellin]

Hi Anyone knows where can I see the fight tonight?

[@AzizRaeesi]

i saw u last night at the bb's ! guess who was there ??

[@xShARpSHoTv2x]

what did chuck say about forrest? i couldnt make it out

[@mmastylez]

since when is boxing dying? i like mma more but it is still more popular around the world then mma is, boxing is very popular outside of the us as well as in the us, the same is not true for mma, it is popular in alot of parts outside of the us but not as much as boxing

[@marcos497]

THIAGO SILVA love this song the game HOW WE DO remix 50 cents.. but before they start fight!!

[@jasjat]

i wounder how bad titos eye is cause he keeps on wearing glasses and not showing his eye

[@samme79]

yeah its really tricky in judging

[@KJGould]

If the president of Zuffa in his personal vlogs can't show any interest in the fights WEC put on, while there in person with the best seats in the house, how do they expect casual fans to care about the WEC? Rightly/Wrongly the perception of WEC is an inferior show & product. It's the B-Show. It's the AAA to the Major Leagues. And everyone in the AAA wants to be in the Major League. More promotion, more money, more prestige. Guys like Brown & Aldo should be in UFC FW title fights nothing less

[@elighour]

Dana, hire me!! lol...no seriously, give me a job.

[@confusedsay]

If I knew Rampage I wouldn't be talking shit about him, and I wouldn't do it to his face either way. I am just disappointed the fight didn't happen, and I know it would've been a great fight.

[@SmokinBluntzzz]

these are pretty funny lol

[@KJGould]

@rdrakken Most of the best kickboxers come from netherlands, not MMA fighters. Unless you think Alistair Overoid and Armenian-Dutch Mousasi is enough to equate having most of the best in the world.

[@Amyas80s]

yes

[@justinxpwsane]

@kennyraymon UFC and WEC are both owned by the same company(Zuffa).

[@CTMMA51]

cant be in the wec. wec is 155 and lower.

[@211for11]

chucks the man! dana is a co fkn guy i'd drink beers with him anytime.

[@AquariZx]

anyone know the camera being used to film this?

[@kylekolod]

id like to see alves vs rumble

[@qweqaz5]

Since Rampage is busy making a movie, Tiki needs to suck up to someone else...

[@FalloutMemphis]

dana i love ufc but i couldnt care less a bout your life or your blogs

[@samme79]

UFC is really getting crappy the judges dont know what theyre doing during UFC 105 its very obvious that brandon vera won and the judges decided couture! WTF IS THAT!

[@KJGould]

@rdrakken And yet where do these guys choose to fight for the most part? Not in Brazil, not in Denmark (ha!). Japan when they had the money was a place to go but that's simply not the case anymore, unless you're a Japanese national hero (like an olympic medalist) where you get looked after a lot better then any gaijin. Akiyama left Japan for the states, and Gomi has made it clear that in fact it is the USA where "it's at" which is why he's trying to get a contract there.

[@Durran992]

what are the shoes tiki is wearing called

[@biokuula]

for example rampages assistance coach on tuf 10

[@aznguy11111]

it would be a one sided fight in rashad's favor...

[@titty805]

cool so watching ufc tonigh ?

[@ebbok]

Lidell on the goodstuff i see :)

[@DannySMalone]

thats exactly my point. please re-read.

[@enjoisk8a911]

nobody? by nobody do you mean people who arnt real mma fans? because true mma fans all ready knew about him

[@rhdadrian]

puma should sponsor the UFC

[@GregBushMoose]

I want Johnson to knock Koshcheck clean out, undecided on Tito n Forrest though

[@mmastylez]

true but the ufc more or less has the monopoly on all the best fighters with the exceptions of the lw and hw divisions since they don't have fedor or aoki, 6 of the top 10 hw's and 6 of the top 10 lw's and those are the ufc weakest divisions, tbh i preferred pride over ufc but ever since zuffa bought them out and dismantled them nothing has really compared i would say SF is the second best but not a close second, and the WEC is owned by zuffa so more or less it is the ufc they own the contracts

[@eon001]

Dana and Chuck throwing things at each other during the co main event. Couldn't have been a great fight. Not a great advertisement for the WEC. The crowd sounded fucking quiet. It's either a Pride crowd or there 20 people in the arena. lol @ Dana's Chuck impression.
