UFC 135: Dana White Video Blog, Day 1

The UFC's giant tie-dyed sign, presumably in the lobby of their Las Vegas offices, never ceases to amuse me. It's so bizarre and tacky and so far removed from the UFC ethos. And who made it? Who tie dyes on commission? White and the Fertittas must have slummed it at the North Vegas Swap Meet (I highly recommend this link) and found some old hippie dude who specializes in this sort of thing.

Highlights:

  • UFC President Dana White runs through the video blog's content.
  • Footage from UFC 134: Dana enters the arena. He complains about the referee's late stoppage in the Luiz Cane fight. Backstage with Yushin Okami and Anderson Silva as they make their way into the arena. White and Lorenzo Fertitta greet Silva in his locker room after the fight. Dana congratulates and thanks Okami for a great fight. White and Junior dos Santos joke with Erick Silva about Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira robbing him of knockout of the night. Nogueira is ecstatic at the news, lifts Dana White over his shoulder, and promises to give Silva $5,000.
  • Footage from UFC Fight Night 25: Matt Riddle congratulates Lance Benoist on his win. Shamar Bailey asks to train with Evan Dunham. Cody McKenzie is not happy with the cameras. Jake Shields and Jake Ellenberger approach the entrance. Jake Shields complains about the stoppage to a commission official, who tells Shields his eyes were glazed over. The official talks about getting a CAT scan; Shields asks about radiation. Ellenberger is calm, cool, and collected after his big win.
  • Footage from UFC 135 press conference: Reporter: "When can we expect you back [in Colorado]?" Dana: "We haven't come yet." Quinton DIES. We see the infamous faceoff, where "Rampage" clowns on Jon Jones' stare-away tactic.

is magic! I love going to that place.

1. Anderson Silva is waiting for you to punch him.
2. That guy is Anderson Silva.
3. Don't fucking punch that guy.

Shield's should be concerned about a CAT scan

those things are incredibly overused and emit a ridiculous amount of radiation.

its not a little dose

and there are other ways to get results without the radiation, they just take longer. If they really thought he was in imminent danger of dropping dead, he would have been sent straight to the hospital immediately after the fight.

I can't remember where......

but I thought I read something that it’s comparable to the radiation of a 6 hour airplane flight…

Damn I was thinking of an MRI

Looked up CAT scan and while it’s not terrible it’s not something you want done on the regular.

MRI does not equal CAT Scan,

Whew! I was thinking MRI too, and was freaked. I have had 8 MRI’s since last fall for my f-ing 90 yr old man back.

I should know better by now, but all that came to my head was either I am going to have sick superhero powers, or die of cancer. ;)

Actually

That sign is kinda cool… from a design perspective. There are many things about the UFC that are bizarre and tacky… I’m not feeling that with the sign.

Plus it's spin art

Not tie-dyed. Um, not that it really matters.

Commission it appears. Fertitta bros collect blue chip art that I’m sure they either have a “feeling” about or more likely what their art advisor says is a good investment. It could matter to the curious since it’s probably worth more than yo mama. And I love your mama.

The best part is they didn’t show him shitting on my question and my voice still sounded somewhat confident

Jones is beyond confident

He knows Rampage is gonna go down quicker than Rua.

Come at me, bro.

I dropped some lulz when Rampage said he does his talking in the octagon. That dude’s mouth never stops moving if a camera is within 20 feet.

Rampage ruining Jones’s stupid ass stare down is one of my favorite moments in UFC press conference history

I love it when Ken starts to charge Tito and that chair pops up. I don’t remember whether Ken kicked the chair or Tito popped it up trying to hit Ken.

Rampage ruining Jones’s stupid ass stare down…

That was funny, he up’d Rua’s performance to Jones’s bizarre stare down.

White and Junior dos Santos joke with Erick Silva about Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira robbing him of knockout of the night. Nogueira is ecstatic at the news, lifts Dana White over his shoulder, and promises to give Silva $5,000.

The beautiful thing about Nogueira is that we all know that’s not just talk and he would really give him the $$.

there was actually a story about that in a Brazilian site, he hasn’t paid him the 5k, but Indio is taking it as a joke and isn’t worried about it. btw, I bet all those in attendence at UFC Rio got robbed on their way out, specially the international media, ’cause you know, eveyone gets robbed in Brazil… so says your husband who lived here for 30+ years :p

It's not tie dye it's paint splatter.

I understand Sheilds not wanting another MRI.

MRI is nothing but complex Nuclear Magnetic Resonense sketch. NMR is as safe as can be, no radiation involved

Mark Hunt's Special Move: Oceanic Heritage! Years ago someone told Polynesian DNA that everyone was surrounded by sea monsters and it believed them. It made humans that were immune to head injuries, fast enough to run on the highway, and big enough to use the carpool lane. Putting two of them in the same ring is like telling your local tectonic plates to fuck themselves.

rampage does his talking in the cage ? pleeez!!

the guy is about as vocal as they come, things he said about randy were really disrespectful, i lost a lot of respect for him after that. you know when you can’t reason with a man, you’re wasting your time. and the B.S he pulled with helwani, ariel never said those things about him, i watch his radio show regularly.
