these video blogs have become terrible
there’s no more dana playing pranks on his employees!

you can feel the tension when they take the gloves off
thats something new, and something non of us will get to see.. really captures the moment
I am willing to test myself against the toughest fighters in the world, in front of hundreds of thousands or even millions of fans, over and over again. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, but I always come to fight. I've been doing this for the past fourteen years, and I have at least a few more strong years left in me. What have you done in the past fourteen years other than act like a moron on this forum and hang on Anderson's nuts? - Dan Henderson.
They have gotten bad.
Needs more DW.

I liked it. I like about any genuine behind the scenes footage. The pranks and stuff feel fake.

I’d much rather see all this behind the scenes footage than Dana high fiving fans and sitting in his office talking to Mike Tyson. That stuff was ok but this is much better. How can anyone complain about this? We got all that “Dana’s daily routine” stuff in past Vblogs; I say the format change is refreshing.

All I know
is I don’t ever need to see 8 mins. of Lorenzo and Dana hitting golf balls off of a roof again. THAT was the worst Vblog ever.
What the fuck was that wispy little emo thing walking next to Brock @ 1:34
It looks like some little hot topic vampire taking his ogre out for a stroll.

Wood Elf Mage that needs to be removed from the party
His protection spells aren’t worth shit.
aimed at the crotch...
BTS footage is awesome
always looking forward to these after an event.
btw, who’s that skinny hipster guy with the briefcase that’s been hanging around lesnar? saw him on the latest “the reem” episode too. he looks so misplaced around lesnar.

also
the shot when you see both the winner and looser, like vladdy/gus and fitch/hendricks was pretty cool

Agreed, cool perspective.
I like these BTS vlogs. UFC does so much stuff with high production value, I think people feel like this is just strung together, and it probably is by comparison. White is running around like a maniac doing all sorts of who knows what along with the TUF stuff he mentioned at the beginning, all while preparing to get out of country to run a huge event. Even with assistants and planning, that shit doesn’t come easy; so unless you want more of Dana filming himself while swerving down the strip, I think we best enjoy what we’re getting.

They transitioned right from Brock walking to the octagon thinking he would crash Alistair straight into him walking back into the locker room in defeat.

I liked that
and I REALLY wanted to see the cutaway to Dana during the fight like they do for some of these vlogs…showing his reaction to some of thea main event stuff.

Great Behind The Scenes
Footage. I laughed out loud when Dana was telling the Diaz corner to be cool, be cool everybody. The look of relief on his face when he said ok they just hugged. Classic.
what did he say before "be cool"? can't make it out

Loved the angle that showed Janitor and Gustafsson
Perfect yin yang moment there.

I guess they did it for everyone? The video keeps crapping out on me thanks to my workplace messing with streaming video.

Yeah, especially with Gustafsson's corner laughing
about how Vladdy “walked right into the jab and knocked himself out”, and Vlad just sitting there forlorn right around the corner.

Yeah I really liked this video
But that angle with those two, and with Fitch and Hendricks, was incredible.

This is about the best sort of video blog you can hope for.

Reading this thread, it seems like what would satisfy everyone is a mixture of both: behind the scenes footage from fight night, preceded by the “old” style of Vblog featuring Dana in the offices, with his kids, pranks etc. Maybe just make them longer? I wouldn’t mind a bit of both.
by Machiel Van on Jan 10, 2012 12:31 PM EST up reply actions
I like this genuine behind the scenes stuff way better. Not too interested in seeing fans beg Dana for tickets and thank him for what he’s done, etc. Pranks and kids can go to hell too!
See and learn the secret death touch!

Maybe cause im on my phone...
But I can’t hear any intelligible words. The conversation I could hear properly was Hendricks talking to Rogan about trust-falls on Tosh.0..

i think they were talking about a specific episode.

This was not as good as previous vblogs....
…for me because you couldn’t hear the conversations above the arena music.
But I love the behind the scenes stuff.
If you are going to lie to me, then we are going to box
Johnny Hendricks sounds so...
sensitive? And did they really have end it with Brock doing the walk of failure?

"did they really have end it with Brock doing the walk of failure"
Why not? It happened, right? It’s interesting.
Nah I wasn’t questioning it, just thinking that it was kinda messed up, but it did happen, so *eh.

ND"yessir"
DW"okcool they hugged"
They're coming to get you Barbara

afraid of one of those things that sometimes happen in MMA maybe?
