Maybe some McKee rubbed off on him during the fight
and its working.
Talking smack works outside the fight game too it seems.
I keep forgetting how much of a hard-on the general public has for shit talkers.
People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.

Obama takes out his own trash.
They made a video game about Yakuzas. It’s called Yakuza. And it’s about Yakuza

Carson had bad days and not-funny bits as much as anyone else. He just seems more epic because his legacy has been reduced to the highlights that are good enough to get replayed.
Kimmel is good
at making me change the channel while trying to cover my Fing ears, what Kimmel are you watching

Conan O'Brien is not funny
Although he has a funny body shape where his legs look like stilts.

But I've seen tons of clips on all the big network news shows on CNN MSNBC ect
and they all use stock photos and vids of his UFC fights.
UFC logos all over the place.

It made the Drudge Report too. The best part about it is that volkman wasn’t even looking to stir up a bunch of controversy

The simple fact that this joke is being delivered by Jay Leno
automatically makes this not funny.

It should be noted he's half-white
So there’s a hint of his hard-working abilities too.

to be fair
he got him from behind like a sucker punch, Volkmann wans’t ready :p
yo no quiero hacer mas nada
All-in-all, it worked out far better for Volkmann than he could have planned it (and I don’t think mentioning Obama planned)

I agree it seemed off the cuff.

Kimmel, Fallon make me lol. Coco is aight. His side kick Andy, that guy needs to GTFO. He is not funny at all and he should not sit next to Coco anymore. Lost all respect for Leno when he went back to his spot. What a jackass.

Hilarious scottish bloke, has had a late late night talk show for awhile
His humor on the show just strikes a chord in me. He’s style is similar to old Conan, but not as…uhm…forced. He just seems more comfortable with his shtick. Very silly at times, usually dirty, often self deprecating, but also very keen. Very very strange at times as well. For instance, over this holiday season he had a robotic skeleton dressed up as santa that could spit out a few phrases and they would be laced into the show as another “character”. He also had a pair of dried kangaroo balls someone gave him as a present that he used in various ways.
Don’t watch his show that often but his stand up is great.
Always leave em laughin

Leno's AfterEffects artists are better than you realize.
there is the original shot, footage of Obama, and footage of two actors doing the new physical stuff. Obama’s head was grafted on another person’s body.
Yes.
Yes, they are apparently.

The composite was made of four elements
1. Original footage of the real Volkmann interview
2. An actor playing Volkmann’s new body footage (getting shoved over and bounced off the wall
3. An actor playing Obama’s body (walks up, shoves Volkmann, adjusts jacket and tie)
4. Obama’s head from found footage (where he smiles and winks). Possibly a press conference or photo op.
It’s really tight CG work. Very well done. Great lighting and color matching.
All done using After Effects, the Photoshop of video work: http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/motion_graphics/

Best part of the whole vid?
He called Volkman an MMA fighter, instead of a Ufc fighter, made my day!
life is a sexual transmitted disease!
I thought the same thing
Thank you to whatever writer wrote that. Im sick of hearing the term cage fighter or anything else other than martial artist.
definitely
The words words were music to my ears. He enunciated nicely too.
most likely
NBC is just aware that there is no percentage in free advertising.
