UFC On Fox 2: Dana White Releases First Video Blog

UFC President Dana White got to video blog action early this week, releasing his first UFC On Fox 2 video blog on Monday, which focused on all the backstage happenings from last Friday's UFC On FX premiere.
Some highlights:
- For the medical students in our readership, you'll get plenty of the post-fight doctor checkups. Eye scans, hand checks, verbal questions...they're all here!
- A shot of Jorge Rivera and his goodbye in the cage with the Nashville crowd chanting "Jor-Hey!"
- Before his walkout, Mike Easton is yelling at Jared Papazian somewhere in front of him. To say he's an intense dude is an understatement.
- An 'only in the UFC' moment when a bloodied Christian Morecraft and Pat Barry shared a moment as both are being checked out.
- Papazian's coach admonished him for running around too much in the Easton fight and reminding him about leaving it all in the cage. It was a refreshing moment where a coach was being brutally honest minutes after a fight instead of trying to make his charge feel good for the sake of an ego.
- Remember when White said he was waiting for Guillard to take things more seriously? We get a shot of Guillard posing for a picture backstage with an arena worker before his fight. I worked for a pro hockey team for seven years and arena workers were always told to never bother the athletes/entertainers and especially when it was showtime, but apparently things are different in Nashville.
- Post-fight, Guillard explained how he got caught in Miller's rear naked choke.
- Jon Jones gave his predictions for Saturday's Rashad Evans-Phil Davis tilt, adding "Rashad's chin sucks."
See the 10-minute clip after the jump.

Sorry for the off-topic post but BE keeps breaking randomly (and to varying degrees) when I'm browsing it
Anyone else experiencing script errors and such?

Ok thanks
Probably just the fact that technology is ever-evolving but my company still has us stuck on IE8. This is gonna be a fun ride until we upgrade.

I thought Lay N Pray was a stupid insult until I watched Tyrone Woodly fight.

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.

I went to a Preds game in Nashville once. They had an 80’s costume contest, and the winner won a 1987 Lincoln Towncar. Seriously. But beers were 2 bucks a piece, so that ruled.

Anyone else notice that there are a huge amount of “dislikes” on the video, a brief read suggests it’s some backlash from the whole UFC supports SOPA.
Looks like the "normal" quantity of dislikes
The previous backstage video blog that didn’t feature Dana in private jets or f-bombing drew growns from the ufc training crowd so I’m not surprised some hit disliked.
I admit to not reading the youtube comments though. Winners don’t read youtube comments.

We all know Rashad wins by UD
but I want to see Phil KO him. That would be funny.
Fighting is like champagne. It goes to the heads of cowards as quickly as of heroes. Any fool can be brave on a battlefield when it's be brave or else be killed.
We do?

No kidding. If Rashad wins, it’s because he KO’d Davis. I think it’s very unlikely Rashad manages to control Davis long enough to win by UD. Either Rashad KO’s Davis, or Davis subs Davis. I’m hoping for the latter.
Davis subbing Davis would be pretty crazy. “I tap! Wait no!”

What did Barry say?
Anybody else hear him say he closed his eyes during the head kick? I can’t quite make it out..
I think he said “To be honest, the whole time…” couldn’t tell after that. I think he said he had thought he was going to lose, probably referring to the scramble on the ground. If so, it made sense that Morecraft had that dumbfounded look on his face when Pat ducked back behind the curtain, like he was thinking “damn, I was soooo close!”

I heard the same type of thing, UncleMax..
And I loved the dumbfounded look after! It’s like he wished Barry didn’t say anything at all.
To me it sounded like
Barry: “To be honest I closed my eyes and threw it [the punch] and it landed. I didn’t want to lose”
And the face was priceless

I think they're overdoing it with the post-fight medical stuff.
It seems to be their ‘thing’ lately as far as the vlogs go. I’d prefer if they showed the more interesting ones & then move on as opposed to showing almost all of them.
And damn, Dana really loves him some Rage, huh? It’s the only music I ever hear him play on the vlogs. Hell, its the only band he even mentions.

man, normally Im not a hater...
But I hate Mike Easton. Between acting like he’s the baddest man on the planet back stage, coming out and trying to fight like dominic cruz in the first round of his 1st ufc fight, and not owning up to the fact that he lost the fight against Chase Beebee… heMs quickly become one of my least favorite fighters.

I'm so on board with that
Easton is a punk. But it was very cool of Melvin to pose for a pic when he was warming up before a huge fight. Props to him, he’ll be back
Agree with both...
Easton looks like he’s trying wayyy too hard, and Melvin was great with his fan pic & congrats to Miller. Melvin seems like a good guy.

His mean mugging in that promo was the most adorable attempt at intimidation ever
He should drop down to flyweight when the division opens up, he has no business fighting anywhere above that. Dude could fit in your shirt pocket.

I’m starting to not hate Melvin by the way, his analysis on what happened was spot on, he had the right idea but Jim was just two steps ahead, Melvin knew how he wanted to fall and with control but Jim was just anticipating everything better.

what is dana white trying to keep count about?
also, it’s weird that bisping vs. sonnen isn’t the main event on fox, feels like a lot of people care more about that one (including mr. white) than david vs. rashad
Now I've switched signature to this one.
