Star-divide

- Dana White gets back from the Xbox live announcement in LA, gives a quick message, then shows what he did the past week.

- Dana takes care of two fans who were scammed and bought fake UFC 130 tickets. He tells the organizers to give them free tickets instead.

- They show footage of Dana White shaking hands and talking to several celebrities and fighters who attended UFC 130. Randy Couture shows off his rebuilt grill after Lyoto kicked a tooth off on his retirement bout.

- They show Rampage Jackson still making fun of Ariel Helwani behind the scenes on the UFC 130 post fight presser. More celebs. More handshakes. More nice deeds for fans.

- Dana White talks about the Xbox partnership.

- TUF Coaches Michael Bisping and Jason Miller give their predictions for Shane Carwin vs. Junior dos Santos. Bisping picks Dos Santos, while Mayhem picks Carwin.

Is it just me or is Dana looking a bit slimmer? And Bisping a little bulkier than usual too, I guess that’s what happens when you know you’re not fighting for a couple of months.

Agreed

I totally agree, I had the same observations while I watched this.

Maybe it’s just that nice time in between holidays where people slim down slightly…..

On another note I am always amazed at how accommodating and generous Dana is with the fans…..not just giving them tickets, but investing his time with them.

Great stuff!

I'm from Canada, and they think I'm slow eh!

that white boy snitching at the beginning

looked a lot like Jon Jones

yeah there was an interview with Helwani where he commented on how Dana had lost weight

Yeah, Bisping looks out of shape while Mayhem does look a bit more cut up than normal and in a bit better shape. Par for the course for TUF.

Who was talking to Dana at around 2:14?

Thanks. I’d been working through all the UFC fighters who’d recently retired to work out who it was and he somehow slipped through.

am I alone in thinking..

..that that dude that ‘bought’ the counterfeit tickets was an obvious set up

Dana is looking more and more like a hunchback

Tuf

Dana said they’re on the set of the ultimate fighter when he was with bisping and miller, but it was in a proper arena with the lights goin etc….. Interesting!

maybe they shot the show’s opening (where dana introduces the coaches) at the palms after the tuf13 finale?

by woooburn on Jun 7, 2011 8:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

The card that dana had in his hand

while talking with Bisping had the first match ups printed on them i believe

Haha…ha. I’m excited to have Mayhem back in the UFC. He’s a handful for anyone and is another great fighter added to a vastly improved middleweight division. Haha.

What's this war in the heart of nature? Why does nature vie with itself? The land contend with the sea? Is there an avenging power in nature? Not one power, but two?
