These are all up on ESPN's website. I'm not sure if this is the entire E:60 feature.

FIRST

first? I’m guessing this is bonus material to create buzz for the show.

that sounds like a great idea.

i’ve never understood why people think it’s cool to be “first.” it’s so annoying.

Thank You Sir

Since this is an MMA site a Ban Hammer might not be enough. A Ban Hammerfist maybe?

Dear Internet,

Take note of this moment and this decision. You will be better for it.

Love,
World.

Thank God...

I hate that “first!” shit. Most of us are older than 4th grade.

It sounded like he said " I’ve fought some of the best world’s in the men."

Everybody lets give a hand to Renato Babalu, one of the greatest light heavyweights, of the night."

It was a take off of that. When he commentated for Affliction he said some funny things.

So, anytime Tito says like “world’s best” you have to add on… of the night.

yea its at 1:20 in the second video, definitly said "i’ve fought some of the best worlds in the men

then he refers to Dana as a boxerciser.

What a Fashion Don’t! That’s like your dick wearing socks with sandals.

Lol… Good piece by ESPN…

My first post to a blog forum, so forgive me if I’m doing it wrong.
I liked the last video (4th one) where the reporter read back his statement and the sound of the censor keep going off!

Welcome to the BE.

Just saw the E:60 article, I didn’t like how they edited out the part where Tito shot himself in the foot about blabbing about his back injury, but other than that it was very good.

by Zack Gobie on May 12, 2009 7:35 PM EDT reply actions

Wow just saw the whole segment on TV. Dude, Dana doesn’t give a fuck! lol Awesome stuff! That line at the end from him was awesome, gave me goosebumps. I didn’t want it to end. :(

Things to take away from this piece

1. Hooked on phonics did not work for Tito Ortiz.
2. The reporter likely interviewed a large number of fans yet only used a clip from the one guy who used the phrase “legal street fight.”
3. Dana White does not go golfing with David Stern on the weekends.
4. Forty-six insults in two minutes is not enough.
5. If you want to claim an injury was taking place at work, do not publicly announce that it was an injury you had prior to showing up at work. Not only will you not receive any insurance money, but you will be thought of as a goddamn idiot by those around you.

Honestly, I think the segment was great stuff. Really gave you a lot of views on Dana, and gave you the essence of who he is. They misled on the Tito thing, the UFC doesn’t “deny claims” as they’re not an insurance company, but otherwise it was good.

by Michael Rome on May 12, 2009 8:02 PM EDT reply actions

Next time Tito gets an interview, he should just sit there, shut up and show Jenna highlights.

by Riney on May 12, 2009 8:03 PM EDT reply actions

Wow. Tito just proves that you can put a suit on a monkey… but it’s still just a monkey.

Other than the clip of the one noob who said “legal street fight,” this was pretty good.

This is the problem with shows like this, the editing is always very subjective.

Just because I can find someone that says they watch Nascar hoping to see a crash, doesn’t mean everyone does.

Hopefully people unfamiliar with MMA watching this piece are smart enough to figure that out.

Great videos. The only beef I’ve got is when the internet connections reset themselves and I have to watch the entire segment over again for the last minutes worth of video. Arrgh!
